One of the hippest tech memes in 2012 was certainly "Big Data." As shown in the image below, Google Trends shows the popularity of the search term "big data" making the hockey-stick shape starting in the last half of 2011.
What does that mean? It can't just be that people have discovered that most data is too "big" for a human to read comfortably before bedtime. No. That is not what "big data" means. Business people don't like to read anything longer than three pages, so by that metric, data has been huge since the 8-inch floppy was on sale at Radio Shack.
The secret is that "big data" means different things depending on whether you are on the engineering or business side of the problem.
On the engineering side, big data means, "I need more and faster storage, and by the way, we should try out some of this cool new software I've been reading about on the inter-tubes." It means using SSD instead of spinning platters; clustering; partitioning, and sharding. But this is not news to us. What we really have a hard time understanding (or a hard time caring to understand, perhaps?) is what our colleagues on the business side want from us when it comes to big data.
The Psyche of a Data-Hungry Business Person
On the business side, big data means, "How do I capitalize on the data we have internally?" Decision-makers, marketing people, and business analysts have read dozens of articles describing the immense advantage this company or that company has reaped by better understanding the usage and preference trends of its customers, and they are tired of pretending at cocktail parties that their data gets out and works for them, too.
The key to understanding the allure of big data to the marketer or business stakeholder is to understand that they view this data as a goose that lays golden eggs that they cannot get their hands on. To them, big data is data that is locked up away from the business analysts and stakeholders.
Understand What You Have and Where You Want To Go
For an engineer approaching a big data project, the first step is to map out what you have, and how it is structured. Because it's all so disparate and mad-whack, you will need a logic layer (that is, scripts) to tie it together and transform it into…you guessed it…even more data.
Now, when you collect data from all the myriad interactions humans have with technology all day every day, it's true that it piles up quickly. But just storing it isn't the problem. Moving it is the problem. What happens if you collect everything on magnetic tapes, and then suddenly a business stakeholder wants to move that data to Amazon S3? Better build in a three-month lead time. I worked on a project where it was faster to copy all the data that changed each day onto a huge pile of hard drives, and then truck those drives to the data center after work let out at 6PM than to transfer the data over a dedicated OC12. Once the primary data has parked itself, it hates to move.
Ready, Set, Stumble!
On the DBA and engineering side, direct access to the data is not the problem; rather, the difficulty lies in understanding the utility of that data. Engineers know how to access the data, but they don't know what questions the business side wants to ask. And the business side doesn't know what is there to ask about, what is possible and impossible, and generally doesn't have the training in statistics and analytics to phrase the question in a meaningful way. Most often, when they do form a question, it's of limited scope and takes a very long time for the engineering team to get around to answering, so that when the answer comes back, it just doesn't seem to have been worth the trouble. Often, the questions posed to the big data analyst by non-technical people reflect a lack of understanding of what information there actually is in the data, and sometimes seems to apply metrics found on one area of life to all other digital areas, regardless of applicability.
On the engineering side, a meaningful big data question usually involves connecting and correlating data in various forms from various sources, and this is the most interesting part of the problem for the engineers. You might have three different SQL databases containing row-oriented data in 20 tables, each with different nomenclature, relationships, and data types, plus a couple key/value stores that have no fixed schema, a couple of document stores where data is stored according to a schema designed to support access only via software code, as well as a bunch of text files storing log data in tab delimited lines.
The more software vendors, different systems, and new open-source projects you have, the more complex that collection of different data sources is going to be. The greater the time period the data spans, the greater the complexity of structures and formats you might encounter. An extreme example of this would be a project requiring the use of Fast Fourier analysis data stored on VHS cassettes used in conjunction with current social media graph data.
Automation and Advance Planning Are Your Friends
Engineers tend to have very long attention spans and move with a cautious deliberation that can be off-putting to a sales or marketing type accustomed to quick questions and quick answers. The reality is that if the data is inherited from various locations, mining it for answers takes time. Big data projects usually begin with offline, ETL-oriented processes that crawl data sources, mapping and reducing, condensing rarefied data into dense results over a period of hours or days. Marketing folks tend to want faster answers.
One solution gaining ground is the collection of data into structures that pre-compute and aggregate results as the data comes in. The aggregate data is kept up-to-date in hash tables or document stores, and is thus more available, reducing the time to query and return results. The structure of this pre-aggregate data is highly dependent on the resulting answers that the business team wants out of it. Document store schemas may be flexible, but if the data isn't consistent, it's hard to use. When pre-aggregating data, it is especially important to learn the business requirements and perform a needs analysis before the project gets too far along.
For the Business Folks
If you're on the business side trying to glean some insight into those elusive, often prickly creatures known as engineers by reading Dr. Dobb's, first off, I applaud your initiative. The fact that you're here is half the battle. That said, my advice is brutish and short: You have to articulate the question you are asking, the data you want to get back, and the hypothesis you are testing with this exercise. It's called the "scientific method," and big data is science. Without the business context, the big data query is simply an academic exercise.
Once you've coaxed your engineering partner into corralling the data you need, it's time to present it and showcase all of the hard-hitting, gloriously ROI-inducing results. You'll need to get comfortable with some data presentation tools, and I am not talking about Excel here (unless the data you want to present has maybe 10 bars you can put in a chart). I am talking about graphing, analytics, and statistics software such as R; or business intelligence software such as Pentaho or JasperSoft.
Success is Iterative
On both sides of the big data question, success depends on creating tools and processes to deal with the data you collect. Make tools to help manage your question and answer process. Try the tool, examine the result, and most of the time, the answer is going to be less useful than you had hoped. Iterate, make the tool better, try the analysis again. Try asking different questions! Show different answers.
As you gain practice, you will accelerate the feedback loop, thus getting better results. A successful big data project is far less about correlating disparate data structures and far more about articulating a testable hypothesis, designing that test, and evaluating the results.
Engineers, you will know when you are done because your business stakeholder will have a mandala-like glow of understanding surrounding them as they walk out of your office.

Kyoto (京都) was the capital of Japan for over a millennium, and carries a reputation as its most beautiful city and the nation's cultural capital. However, visitors may be surprised by how much work they will have to do to see Kyoto's beautiful side. Most first impressions of the city will be of the urban sprawl of central Kyoto, around the ultra-modern glass-and-steel train station, which is itself an example of a city steeped in tradition colliding with the modern world.
Nonetheless, the persistent visitor will soon discover Kyoto's hidden beauty in the temples and parks which ring the city center, and find that the city has much more to offer than immediately meets the eye.
Though dwarfed in size by other major Japanese cities, Kyoto is vast in terms of its rich cultural heritage - the material endowment of over a thousand years as the country's imperial capital. The city's numerous palaces, shrines, temples and other landmarks are spread out over the following districts:
Nestled among the mountains of Western Honshu, Kyoto was the capital of Japan and the residence of the Emperor from 794 until the Meiji Restoration of 1868, when the capital was moved to Tokyo. During its millennium at the center of Japanese power, culture, tradition, and religion, it accumulated an unparalleled collection of palaces, temples and shrines, built for emperors, shoguns, and monks. Kyoto was among the few Japanese cities that escaped the allied bombings of World War II and as a result, Kyoto still has an abundance of prewar buildings, such as the traditional townhouses known as machiya. However the city is continuously undergoing modernization with some of the traditional Kyoto buildings being replaced by newer architecture, such as the Kyoto Station complex.
Kyoto's city planners way back in 794 decided to copy the Chinese capital Chang'an (present-day Xi'an) and adopt a grid pattern, which persists to this day in the city core. West-east streets are numbered, with Ichijō-dōri (一条通, "First Street") up north and Jūjō-dōri (十条通, "Tenth Street") down south, but there is no obvious pattern to the names of north-south streets.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
From Kansai[edit]
By train[edit]
Overseas travellers can fly into Kansai International Airport and then get a train to Kyoto. Kansai Airport Station is located opposite the arrival lobby where the Japanese Rail (JR) West Haruka Kansai Airport Limited Express Train can be caught. The best and fastest way to get to Kyoto from the airport is to buy a one-day JR West Kansai Area Pass[6] and take the Haruka Limited Express (non-reserved tickets only). The Haruka Limited Express takes about 77 minutes, with trains leaving every 30-60 minutes. The pass is for foreigners only and costs ¥2,300, which is ¥680 less than a regular Haruka Limited Express ticket from the airport to Kyoto. You will need to show your passport, as well as a copy of your foreign-bound return flight, when purchasing a ticket.
Another option that JR started to offer is the ICOCA and HARUKA discount ticket[7] which includes travel in unreserved seating on the Haruka to Kyoto and any JR station within a designated "Free Zone" and a rechargeable ICOCA transit card containing ¥2000 (includes ¥500 deposit) that can be used on JR, private railways, buses and stores in the Kansai region. A one-way discount ticket costs ¥1600 and a round-trip costs ¥3200.
Both of the above tickets can be purchased online or at the Kansai Airport train station.
By bus[edit]
Comfortable limousine buses run from the airport to Kyoto Station, twice an hour, stopping at some of the major hotels along the way. The ticket costs ¥2,500 (children ¥1,250) one-way or ¥4,000 for round-trip. Bus tickets can be purchased outside of the airport's arrival lobby on the first floor. (just go straight when you leave customs through the "North gate"). The buses leave from bus stop #8, which is located directly opposite the ticket vending machine. The ride takes 88 minutes but can take longer when there is traffic (about 90 – 135 minutes).
From Itami[edit]
Located near Osaka, Itami Airport is Kansai's largest domestic airport. Travelers flying into Kyoto from other areas in Japan will most likely arrive here. The easiest way to get to Kyoto from Itami Airport is by limousine bus No. 15. The trip takes about an hour and costs ¥1,280. The buses run three times an hour. Alternatively, you can take a combination of monorail and train, which requires at least two changes (monorail to Hotarugaike, Hankyu Takarazuka Line to Juso, Hankyu Kyoto Line to Kyoto) but costs just ¥650 and can be completed in an hour. Whereas the Limousine Bus will leave you at Kyoto Station in the southern part of Kyoto, the Hankyu Railway runs to Shijō Street in central Kyoto.
By train[edit]
Most visitors arrive at JR Kyoto station by Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo. Nozomi trains take approximately 2.15 hrs. to Kyoto and costs ¥13520 one-way. Travel agencies in Tokyo and Kyoto sell nozomi tickets with ¥700-1,000 discount. If you buy a ticket in an agency, it is "open date" - you can board any train as long as it is not full. All you have to do is show up at the train station, register your agency ticket and then you will be reserved a seat. The trains are equipped with vending machines and attendants selling snacks. Hikari trains, which run less frequently and make a few more stops, cover the trip in around 2.45 hours, but only the Hikari and the Kodama trains can be used by Japan Rail Pass holders at no charge.
Travelers can also take advantage of the Puratto Kodama Ticket [8], which offers a discount on the all-stopping Kodama services if purchased at least one day in advance. You get a reserved seat and a free drink on board. With this ticket a trip from Tokyo to Kyoto costs ¥9800 and takes 3.45 hours. Note that there is only one Kodama service per hour from Tokyo, and a few early-morning Kodama trains cannot be used with this ticket.
During travel periods when the Seishun 18 Ticket is valid, you can go from Tokyo to Kyoto during the day in about 8.30 hours using all-local trains. Traveling in a group is the best way to get discounts. The usual fare is ¥8000 however a party of three costs ¥3800 per person, and a group of five traveling together drops the price down to ¥2300 per person.
For travel in the Kansai region, a cheaper and almost as fast alternative is the JR shinkaisoku (新快速) rapid service, which connects to Osaka, Kobe and Himeji at the price of a local train. For a slightly cheaper price you can use the private Hankyu or Keihan lines to Osaka and Kobe, or the Kintetsu line to Nara. The Kansai Thru Pass includes travel on the private lines through to Kyoto, and this may prove cheaper that a JR Pass if you are staying a few days in the area.
Overnight by train[edit]
Direct overnight train service between Tokyo and Kyoto on a daily basis was abolished with the discontinuation of the Ginga express train in 2008. An alternative route via northern Japan became moot when another overnight train was removed from regular service in 2012. As a result, taking the bus is now the easiest way to travel between these two cities at night.
Overnight travel between Tokyo and Kyoto is still possible, and if you have a Japan Rail Pass and are willing to do some research, it can be inexpensive as well. The idea is to split your journey into two parts, stopping at an intermediate destination en-route in order to sleep somewhere. Your cost will only be for the hotel room, as your train fare has already been paid for on your rail pass.
This two-part method carries a couple of advantages: location and money. You will more than likely find good accomodations very close to a main train station in a smaller city, compared to a big city such as Tokyo, and it will more than likely be cheaper than hotels found in Tokyo. You could use the money you save to forward some of your luggage to Kyoto using a luggage delivery service and take an overnight bag with you, which will make the journey easier.
For example, you can use the Tokaido Shinkansen late at night and sleep over at a hotel in Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Toyohashi or Nagoya; In the morning, grab one of the first bullet train departures in the same direction to continue your trip. Here is an example: In the evening hours, take a Hikari or Kodama train to Hamamatsu (75-90 minutes via Hikari or 2 hours via Kodama). Once there you can take a rest at Hamamatsu's Toyoko Inn, which costs as low as ¥4000 for a single room if booked in advance. At 6:30 the next morning, board the first bullet train of the day, a Kodama, and you will be in Kyoto before 8:00.
Remember that Japan Rail Passes are also valid for JR buses operating between Tokyo and Kyoto (see 'By Bus').
By car[edit]
Kyoto is easily reached by car via the Meishin Expressway between Nagoya and Osaka, but you'll definitely want to park your car on the outskirts of the city and use public transport to get around. Most attractions are in places built well before the existence of automobiles, and the availability of parking varies between extremely limited and non-existent. Furthermore, what little parking is available might be outrageously expensive.
By bus[edit]
As Kyoto is a major city, there are many day and overnight buses which run between Kyoto and other locations throughout Japan, which can be a cheaper alternative than shinkansen fares.
The run between Tokyo and the Kansai region is the busiest in Japan, and fierce competition between bus operators has resulted in better amenities and lower prices. Buses from Tokyo follow either the Tomei Expressway or the Chuo Expressway to Nagoya, then the Meishin Expressway to Kyoto. Trips take approximately 7-9 hours depending on the route and stops.
The following are among the major bus services available between Tokyo and Kyoto: (Current as of March, 2012)
Willer Express[edit]
Discount bus operator Willer Express [9] runs daytime and overnight buses with a variety of seating options ranging from standard bus seats to luxurious shell seats. Bus journeys can be booked online in English, and Willer's Japan Bus Pass is valid on all of their routes with some exceptions.
Buses from Tokyo leave from Willer's own bus terminal, located west of Shinjuku Station in the Sumitomo Building. Some buses also leave from Tokyo Disneyland - Goofy Car Park, Tokyo Station - Yaesu-Chuo Exit, Shinagawa Station - Shinagawa Prince Hotel and Yokohama Station. In Kyoto, Willer Express uses the Hachijo Exit (八条口) at the south side of Kyoto Station, with some routes also stopping in front of the Kiyomizu-Gojo post office.
Willer's overnight one-way fares to/from Tokyo start from approximately ¥3800 for overnight trips in standard seats up to ¥9800 in shell seats with advanced purchase. Daytime bus fares start from ¥4900. Fares are typically higher on weekends and holidays.
JR Bus[edit]
JR Bus (Japanese Website) is also a major operator on the Tokyo-Kyoto route. The drawback is that you cannot make online reservations in English, but you can make reservations in train stations at the same "Midori-no-Madoguchi" ticket windows used to reserve seats on trains.
JR Buses depart from Tokyo Station - Yaesu Exit (八重洲口) and the JR Highway Bus Terminal (JR高速バスターミナル) located adjacent to Yoyogi Station on the Yamanote Line (one stop south of Shinjuku). In Kyoto, buses congregate at the Karasuma Exit (烏丸口) at the north side of Kyoto Station.
JR Bus offers, in order of comfort and price, Seishun (youth) buses with 2x2 seating configurations, Standard buses with individual seats arranged 1x1x1, and Premium Buses that offer wider seats and more amenities.
JR Bus' overnight one-way fares to/from Tokyo start from approximately ¥3500 for overnight trips in Seishun buses up to ¥7600 for premium buses with advanced purchase. Daytime bus fares start from ¥5000. Fares are typically higher on weekends and holidays.
Some JR Buses heading to/from Osaka stop at the Kyoto Fukakusa Bus Stop on the Meishin Expressway. Fujinomori Station on the Keihan Railway is a 10-minute walk from Fukakusa, while Takeda Station on the Kintetsu Railway and the Kyoto Subway is 15 minutes away; all can be used to reach the main city. A local city bus also runs to Kyoto station from the nearby Youth Science Center 1-2 times per hour.
Note that the Japan Rail Pass CAN be used for overnight trips on standard buses between Tokyo and Kyoto called "Dream" services. If traveling during the daytime, direct buses between Tokyo and Kyoto are NOT covered by the rail pass (you can use the much faster bullet train instead).
Other bus services=[edit]
Get around[edit]
The sheer size of the city of Kyoto, and the distribution of tourist attractions around the periphery of the city, make the city's public transport system invaluable.
One of the easiest ways to plan a route is through Hyperdia [10] or Kurage [11]. These websites contain station-to-station route plans, which reference public and private trains and subways as well as buses throughout Japan.
If you are planning to travel beyond city limits you might consider using the tickets from Surutto Kansai. For use in west Japan, including Kyoto, there are some other useful tickets: a rechargeable smart card, ICOCA, can be used on rail, subway and bus networks in the Kansai area and also Okayama, Hiroshima, Nagoya (Kintetsu trains) and Tokyo (JR East trains). These cards are available at vending machines at these rail stations, and cost ¥2000, which includes a ¥500 deposit that will be refunded when the card is returned at JR West Station. For use in Kyoto only there are some other useful tickets:
Check the Kyoto City Webpage [15] for more information on how to use these cards.
By train[edit]
Kyoto is criss-crossed by several train lines, all of which are clearly sign-posted in English. Although the lines are run independently and prices vary slightly between them, transfers can be purchased at most of the ticket machines. The Keihan train line can be useful for traveling in eastern Kyoto, while the two Keifuku tram lines are an attractive way of traveling in the northwest. Across the street from the northern terminus of the Keihan Line is the Eidan Eizan line, which runs to Mount Hiei and Kurama. The Hankyu Line starts at Shijo-Kawaramachi downtown, and connects to the Karasuma Line one stop later at Karasuma. It's useful for reaching Arashiyama and the Katsura Rikyu; it runs all the way to Osaka and Kobe. JR lines run from Kyoto station to the northwest (JR Sagano line), to the southwest (JR Kyoto line) and to the southeast (JR Nara line). There are local and express trains so check if they stop at your station before you get on.
By subway[edit]
There are two subway lines [16] which only serve a rather small part of the city. The north-south running Karasuma Line runs under Kyoto Station, and the west-east running Tozai Line links up with it near the city center. Both are useful for travel in the city center but not really suitable for temple-hopping. The Tozai Line does connect with the Keihan Line, however, which runs parallel to the Kamo-gawa, and is convenient for reaching Gion and southern Kyoto; it also gets you within a short walk of many of the sights in eastern Kyoto.
A one-day pass for the subway costs ¥ 600.
By bus[edit]
The bus network is the only practical way of reaching some attractions, particularly those in north-western Kyoto. Fortunately the system is geared toward tourists, with destinations electronically displayed/announced in English as well as Japanese. Unlike other Japanese cities, a tourist probably is advised to use the buses here.
Confusingly however, there are two different bus companies in Kyoto, which occasionally even have overlapping line numbers. Green-and-white Kyoto City Buses (市バス shi-basu) travel within the city, and are the most useful for visitors; unless otherwise noted, all buses listed in this guide are city buses. Red-and-white Kyoto Buses [17] travel to the suburbs and are generally much less useful.
Many buses depart from Kyoto Station, but there are well-served bus stations closer to the city center at Sanjo-Kawabata just outside the Sanjo Keihan subway line, and in the northern part of the city at the Kitaoji subway station. Most city buses have a fixed fare of ¥230, which is paid into a box next to the driver when getting off. Exact change is required, but machines for exchanging coins and ¥1000 notes are available. You can also purchase a one-day pass (¥600 for adults and ¥250 for children under 12) with which you can ride an unlimited number of times within a one day period. The day passes can be bought from the bus drivers or from the bus information center just outside Kyoto Station. This is especially useful if you plan on visiting many different points of interest within Kyoto. You can also buy a combined unlimited subway and bus 1-day pass for ¥1200 and slightly more economical 2-day pass for ¥2000. Note that these passes are not valid on JR trains and busses that serve the area.
The municipal transport company publishes a very useful leaflet called Bus Navi [18]. It contains a route map for the bus lines to most sights and fare information. You can pick it up at the information center in front of the main station.
By bicycle[edit]
Particularly in spring and fall, but at any time of year, getting around by bicycle is an excellent option. Cycling forms a major form of personal transport year-round for locals. The city's grid layout makes navigation easy. You can rent bicycles in many places in Japan for a reasonable price. During the peak tourist seasons, when roads are busy and buses tend to be crammed beyond capacity, bicycles are probably the best way to navigate Kyoto.
Kyoto's wide, straight roads make for heavy traffic in many parts of the city, but it is possible to find back alleys that are quieter and offer better chances to happen upon all sorts of sightseeing/cultural gems. Riding on major roads is OK, especially if you are confident and used to riding with traffic on the road, rather than on the sidewalk and especially again if you are used to riding/driving on the LEFT-HAND side of the road.
See[edit][add listing]
Kyoto offers an incredible number of attractions for tourists, and visitors will probably need to plan an itinerary in advance in order to visit as many as possible.
Japan National Tourist Organization's self-guided "Kyoto Walks" pamphlet is available in a ready to print PDF format. The guide enables first time visitors to tour the city with ease and with minimum fuss by providing bus numbers, names of bus stops and clearly marked walking routes. There are a variety of self-guided walks in different districts to sample Kyoto's various sites. If you see the browser's dialog box popping up, just click on it till the entire PDF document opens.
World Heritage Sites[edit]
In 1994, 17 historic sites were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List under the group designation Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. Fourteen of the listed sites are in Kyoto itself, two are in the neighbouring city of Uji and one is in Ōtsu.
Listed by location, the fourteen World Heritage Sites in the city of Kyoto are:
Imperial Palaces and Villas[edit]
Stroll through the regal retreats of the Imperial Palace or one of the two Imperial villas with gardens and teahouses managed by the Imperial Household Agency. These are the Imperial Palace (京都御所 Kyōto-gosho) and Sentō Imperial Palace (仙洞御所 Sentō-gosho) in Central Kyoto, Katsura Imperial Villa (桂離宮 Katsura-rikyū) in Western Kyoto, and Shugakuin Imperial Villa (修学院離宮 Shugaku-in-rikyū) in Northern Kyoto. All four of these sites are open to the public by reservation through the Imperial Household Agency. The gardens located within the precints of each palace and villa are at their most scenic during spring cherry blossom season and autumn where a riot of colors enchant visitors. Each property is still used from time to time for official state functions or for private visits by the current royal family members.
The Imperial Household Agency maintains a quota on the number of visitors to each site per tour. Admission is free. English guides are available at the Imperial Palace; however, tours of the Sento Imperial Palace, Katsura Villa, and Shugakuin Villa are conducted in Japanese only (English pamphlets are given at each destination upon entry and books are available for purchase if you'd like to know more). Overseas visitors can apply online to the Imperial Household Agency in English here [19]. On its website are write ups and videos in English for interested visitors to gauge which ones they would like to visit before making an online application. Please note that advanced applications first become available on the first day of the month, three months in advance of the applicant's preferred touring month. For example, if your preferred date of visit falls in the month of April, you can begin applying on January 1. As these visits are over subscribed by the Japanese and overseas visitors, the Imperial Household Agency has to draw lots to pick the successful applicants. All applicants are notified on the status of their applications whether they are successful or otherwise within a week after closing date. Most applicants to the Imperial Palace are accepted, and early reservation is not usually necessary; however, those planning to visit the Sentō Imperial Palace, or either of the Imperial Villas should apply on the first available day of application as they are highly competitive and entire months of tours often become full within the first few days. Winter tours are typically much less competitive, but be aware that the gardens will not be as beautiful as other times of the year.
If an applicant is not successful, they can still go direct in person to the Imperial Household Agency Kyoto Office to enquire whether there are vacancies, as they typically save a few spots for walk-ins. Many people are able to do this successfully for the Imperial Palace, but it can be more of a risk for the others, so go early. Address: Imperial household Agency Kyoto Office, 3 Kyotogyoen, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, 602-8611, tel: +81-75-211-1215.

Public baths[edit]
Public baths have been a cornerstone of the society for centuries in Kyoto. The first public baths, or sentō, were documented in the 13th century. Soon they became one of the few places in society where social status was irrelevant. Noblemen shared baths with commoners and warriors. Today over 140 bath houses remain in Kyoto. Funaoka Onsen is the oldest of these and dubbed "king of sentō", but newer bath houses and super sentō are just as much part of the Japanese bathing culture. If you have the time, make your way to one of the many public bath houses Kyoto has to offer. See Kyoto Baths for more information.
Well-known for its abundance of historical sites, Kyoto often draws visitors eager to experience traditional Japanese culture. Buddhist meditation sessions are one of the most popular of these activities, and multiple options are available. In Northern Kyoto, Taizo-in and Shunko-in (both sub-temples of Myoshin-ji) offer authentic Zen meditation sessions, complete with explanations of the meaning and significance of such meditation. Reservations are necessary.
Blossom Viewing[edit]
Cherry blossoms[edit]
Kyoto is arguably the most well known place in the country to view cherry blossoms, and there are certainly no lack of options. On the Official Top 100 cherry blossom spots list, three are in Kyoto (Arashiyama, Daigoji, Ninnaji).
Eastern Kyoto is particularly popular during the cherry blossom season. A walk from Nanzen-ji to Ginkaku-ji along the Philosopher's Path, lined with cherry trees, is enjoyable, as there are a variety of temples and shrines to stop at along the way. The garden of the Heian Shrine, not far from the Philosopher's Path, features colorful pink blossoms, which is a nice contrast to the white blossoms you'll see on the Philosopher's Path. The famous cherry tree in Maruyama Park is often the center of attention in the evenings when it is lit up. Vendors line the pathway leading up to it, creating a festive atmosphere. Kiyomizu-dera and Kodai-ji have extended hours during the first few days of this season offering visitors the opportunity to view them at night, lit up against the blossoms. Blossoms can also be seen along the Kamogawa River. The entire area literally blossoms in the spring!
In Central Kyoto the northern section of the Imperial Park is home to a variety of different types of cherry blossoms. Nijo Castle hosts its own Nijo Light-Up, in which visitors can walk the grounds of the castle at night among the cherry blossoms (typically for 10-14 days). You cannot enter the castle during the light-up, so those who want to enter should visit during the day to see the castle and the blossoms. Just south of Kyoto station, the grounds of Toji Temple bloom beautifully below the towering pagoda.
In Arashiyama, a large portion of the mountainside is bright with cherry blossoms, along with the area around Hankyu Arashiyama Station. During the day, many people enjoy viewing the blossoms on the mountainside from the "Romantic Train" that travels through Arashiyama. At night, the area is lit up and food stalls are set up with a variety of delicious snacks.
Northern Kyoto offers cherry-blossom scouts worthwhile experiences at Hirano Shrine and Kyoto Botanical Gardens, and a walk inside the large grounds of Daigo-ji in Southern Kyoto is certainly made memorable when all the blossoms are in full bloom.
Plum blossoms[edit]
Although they are less well-known to foreign tourists, who tend only to focus their attentions on seeing cherry blossoms, for those with plans to visit Kyoto from mid-February through mid-March, plum blossom viewing makes for a great alternative. Kyoto has two popular plum blossom locations; Kitano Tenmangu and the Kyoto Botanical Gardens, both in northern Kyoto. Kitano Tenmangu has a large grove of plum trees just outside the shrine entrance that, with a ¥600 fee, you can stroll about. Within the shrine grounds, there are many more trees (viewable for free). The shrine even hosts annual performances by geisha amidst the plum blossoms. Plum blossoms have a very pleasantly distinct fragrance. These Japanese ume trees are actually more closely related to apricot trees. However an early mistranslation by the Japanese resulted in these trees being called "plum" trees instead.
Festivals and Events[edit]
Cooking Classes[edit]
Buy[edit][add listing]
There is a nice selection of reassuringly non-tacky traditional souvenir shops around Arashiyama station in Western Kyoto, selling fans and traditional sweets. More tacky stores can be found in Gion and the approach to Kiyomizu Temple, selling keyrings, cuddly toys, and garish ornaments. Other traditional souvenirs from Kyoto include parasols and carved wooden dolls.
More unconventional but colorful (and relatively cheap) souvenirs are the wooden votive tablets produced by Shinto shrines, which bear an image relevant to the shrine on the reverse. Visitors write their prayers on the tablets and hang them up, but there's no rule that says you can't take it with you.
Manga and anime enthusiasts should visit Teramachi Street, a covered shopping street off the main Shijo-dori, which boasts a large manga store on two floors, as well as a two-story branch of Gamers (a chain of anime stores), and a small two-story anime and collectables store.
Many ATMs in Kyoto do not allow non-domestic credit cards to be used, but ATMs in post offices and Seven-Eleven usually do. So if you find your card rejected or invalid in an ATM then try and get to a post office (郵便局 / yuubinkyoku or JP (in orange letters)) to use their ATMs instead. Look for the PLUS or Cirrus logos, whichever you find printed on the back of your ATM card. Another option is Citibank, which should work, too. There is an old standby international ATM at the top floor of Takashimaya Department Store at Shijo/Kawaramachi in the "Cash Corner." The bank of ATMs in the basement of the Kyoto Tower shopping center (across the street from JR Kyoto Station) also includes one machine where international cards may be used.
In the shopping areas adjacent to Kiyomizudera (on the other side of the Kamo River), it is possible to purchase samurai swords and top of the line kimonos. Do not be surprised if the prices for either item exceed ¥3,000,000.
Kyoto incense is also famous. It usually has a very delicate yet fragrant bouquet. Incense is relatively agreeable in price (¥400-2000). You will be able to find it between Nishi and Higashi Hongwanji.
Damascene, a special metal created by imbedding other metals, originated in Damascus, Syria over 2000 years ago and was first introduced to Japan in the 8th century. Since then, it has ceased production worldwide with the exception of Kyoto city, which continues producing it even today. The technique used to create Kyoto's damascene is quite complex, as it must be corroded, rusted, and boiled in tea, along with inlaying many layers of metal to produce the final product. Today, visitors can purchase a variety of jewelry, as well as vases, tea utensils, lighters, and other accessories made using this technique.
Eat[edit][add listing]
If you've just stepped off the train and the first thing on your mind is a bite to eat, there are several restaurants on the tenth and eleventh floors of the Isetan department store attached to Kyoto station. Most of the offerings are Japanese, including a veritable Ramen village, with a few casual Italian cafes as well.
Kyoto, and the nearby city of Uji, is well known for its matcha(抹茶 maccha) or green tea, but visitors don't just come to drink the tea; there are a wide variety of matcha-flavored treats. Matcha ice cream is particularly popular, and most places selling ice cream will have it as an option. It also shows up in a variety of snacks and gifts.
There is one shop in Kyoto called "Maccha House"(マッチャ ハウス 抹茶館)which you should really go. This is a shop which specializes in Matcha. So people can enjoy eating or drinking the original Matcha drinks and sweets which you can only eat it here in Japan. The most popular sweet in this shop is Matcha tiramisu, made out of Matcha and a type of cheese called mascarpone. It doesn't taste so sweet, so this sweet is recommended also for people who don't like very sweet things. But not only the taste, but also the appearence looks very attractive
Yatsuhashi (八ツ橋) is another delicious Kyoto snack. There are two types of yatsuhashi; baked and raw. The hard yatsuhashi was originally made using cinnamon, and tastes like a crunchy biscuit. Today, while the biscuits remain the same, you can also buy hard yatsuhashi dipped in macha and strawberry-flavored glazes.
Raw yatsuhashi, also known as hijiri was also made with cinnamon, but the cinnamon is mixed with bean paste and then folded into the hijiri to make a triangle-shape. Today, you can buy a wide variety of flavors, including macha, chocolate and banana, and black poppyseed. Many of the flavors are seasonal, such as the sakura (cherry blossom) yatsuhashi available in the spring and mango, peach, blueberry, and strawberry, available from May to October.
Although yatsuhashi can be purchased at most souvenir shops, the best place to purchase raw yatsuhashi is the famous Honkenishio Yatsuhashi. While other stores may carry yatsuhashi, this is the place to find all of the seasonal flavors, as well as free samples. Most of these shops are located in Higashiyama. The most convenient for tourists is probably the one on Kiyomizu-zaka, just below the entrance to Kiyomizu-dera.
While many tourists find raw yatsuhashi to be a delicious (and highly affordable) souvenir, be aware that it only lasts for one week after purchase. Baked yatsuhashi on the other hand, will last for about three months. Consider this when deciding what gifts to take home with you.
Mont Blanc aux Marrons (Chestnut cake)[edit]
This is one of the famous sweet which you can eat it in Kyoto, in the cafe called "Sweets Cafe Kyoto Keizo". The special thing about this cake is that it is made by baking the meringue at a low temperature. Therefore, unlike the other cakes, this chestnut cake is said to only last for 10 minutes. This is because after 10 minutes, the texture and the taste of this cake changes dramatically. The texture and the taste of this cake changes so much that some people think they are eating a completely different cake after 10 minutes have passed.
Other specialties[edit]
Other Kyoto specialities include hamo (a white fish served with ume as sushi), tofu (try places around Nanzenji temple), suppon (an expensive turtle dish), vegetarian dishes (thanks to the abundance of temples), and kaiseki-ryori (multi-course chef's choice that can be extremely good and expensive).
Drink[edit][add listing]
Kyoto's night scene is dominated by bars catering for local needs, most of which are located in Central Kyoto around Kiyamachi, between Shijo and Sanjo. This area offers a wide variety of drinking options for all types of people. You'll also have no trouble finding the host and hostess bars, courtesy of the staff pacing around out front trying to entice visitors. There are plenty of options beyond this street in other regions, but with such a large concentration of bars along in the same area, its easy to locate a place where you feel most at home to relax for the night.
If you're looking for nightclubs, Kyoto has a few options, but it is not a city known for its thriving dance clubs. Those hoping to experience that part of Japanese nightlife should consider taking a train to Osaka where many of the clubs are hip and wild enough to rival any Tokyo club.
Some of Kyoto's most famous sake comes from Gekkeikan Brewery in the Fushimi area of Southern Kyoto. A 400 year old brewery that still produces great sake, Gekkeikan offers tours of its facilities.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Kyoto has a wide range of accommodation, much of it geared towards foreign visitors. During peak seasons, such as the cherry blossoms in April or during Golden Week when accommodation is difficult to get, consider staying in Osaka. A thirty minute train ride from Kyoto Station to Osaka Station will cost you ¥540 one way. Since Kyoto is a major tourist destination, demand is high and prices follow suit.
Most of the lodging in the city is clustered near the central city, especially around Kyoto Station and the downtown area near Karasuma-Oike. The outer areas have a scattering of their own, tending towards inexpensive but often much further from train or subway stations.
At the bottom of the price scale, many temples in Kyoto own and run their own lodging complex known as shukubō (宿坊), usually located on or near temple grounds. Guests are often invited to participate in morning prayer service (otsutome) held at the temple. Unfortunately, most temple lodgings do not have English-speaking receptions, and curfews and check-in/out times tend to be strict. Most are located in the northern region of the city.
Hostels are common and popular with students. Inexpensive hotels lack amenities but compensate with prices surprisingly low for Japan; both can be found in all regions of the city, and may be the only options available if you need to stay in an outlying ward.
The majority of self-named ryokan in this range are actually minshuku. Most are small family-run operations and accustomed to dealing with foreigners. Be prepared to pay for the full stay in advance.
As in other Japanese cities, internet cafes and capsule hotels are available for those truly on the cheap. Expect to pay around ¥2000 for a night's stay in an internet cafe. You get a computer, a comfortable chair, and all the tea and hot chocolate you want.
For long-term stay, JamHouses [20] near Nijō Castle and Katsura station offer inexpensive shared houses with Japanese roommates. Houses have private rooms and dormitories, equipped kitchens and living rooms. JamHouse near Nijō Castle has also a restaurant [21].
Even though Japan is famous for its capsule hotels, where you're forced to use the least amount of space possible, hostels in Japan can be the next-best option for people travelling on a budget but want some space. They're generally very clean and well-maintained, and they're a great place to get to know new people.
Internet and manga cafés[edit]
These "manga-kisas" (short for kissaten which means 'cafe') are not a thing to fear. There is nothing wrong with staying in these Japan#Last_resorts for a few nights. Most manga-kisas have no separate smoking and non-smoking sections, and the bountiful collections of manga will only be in japanese, but they usually have cushions and blankets and free unlimited soft drinks (included with entry fee). Showers are usually available, but sometimes for a fee. Remember that these cafés won't keep your luggage during the day so either keep it with you, find free storage elsewhere or use a coin locker (¥300-600 per use). The price will usually not be that different from a normal hotel for an overnight stay.
The boundary between budget and midrange is often unclear, particularly among ryokan. Hotels in this category are concentrated in Central Kyoto, serving the business market with the typical amenities and close proximity to transportation. There are also a number of smaller, family-run guesthouses around the Gojo area, which is between Kyoto Station area and historical Gion.
Split between the downtown and Higashiyama areas on each side of the Kamogawa River, these top-of-the-line lodgings can make your airfare look cheap. Western-style hotels dominate in this category; unlike the midrange options, very few of the high end ryokan can be booked without a fluent command of Japanese.
In Kyoto, there are traditional wooden townhouses called Kyo-Machiya or Machiya. Kyo-Machiya defined the architectural atmosphere of downtown Kyoto for centuries, and represents the standard defining form of Machiya throughout the country.
There are several facilities offers those Machiya to the travellers to stay privately, and can experience the traditional living in Kyoto. Most of those facilities are located in central Kyoto that easy to access to any sightseeing spot. However, generally those facilities don't offer any meals, but in Kyoto, there is a delivery system from the Japanese restaurant that customer can order and eat in the Kyo-Machiya. During the guest stay, it is completely private that guests can feel like staying at their home.
The size of the facilities are average 80㎡, can stay from 2 people with prices comperable to a mid range hotel (¥10,000 per night) but it can be better to use with a group of 4 to 6, or with family. There are facilities that guests can stay together in the same Machiya for up to 14 people.
The price is from ¥25,000-

George has never been to a fast food restaurant before and is stunned when he discovers what they call meat there. He pulls out the flimsy dried little burnt grey disk out of the soggy bun and looks through it –"This thing died of old age!!"
He goes crazy with outrage and shows everyone what real meat is and tastes like. There is a cow eating in the restaurant and he takes some slices off the cow and fries them up. Everyone, even the cow, agrees that organic, fresh meat is much better than the crap they pass off as meat in fast food restaurants.
Jimmy comes home acting weird. He's light on his feet, floating around dreamily. He's in love.
George thinks he's sick. He feels his forehead for fever.

Jimmy imagines Sody's curves and nods yes.
George: "Women are fags! Afterall, they like to see men naked don't they?"
Jimmy looks out the window and sees Sody.
George calls Sody inside.

The Dirty AtheistGeorge's pal Victor Lugnuts has a problem. His son is an atheist. George offers to cure the kid and get him into heaven.
When Eddie the atheist starts asking George unanswerable questions, George sputters and concludes that Eddie is possessed by the "Science Demon" - a monster who goes around planting fossil evidence in the ground and genetic evidence in our bodies.

Stanczyk is obsessed with learning and understanding his ancestral villages. To that end, I spent the latter part of December analyzing the marriage records of Pacanów parish. As regular readers may know, Pacanów was in the Russian-Poland partition in the old gubernia (wojewodztwo/woj.) of Kielce which is north-east of today's Krakow, Poland. Pacanów is now in the woj. of Swieto Krzyskie.
Today I have a graphic of a spreadsheet of the data I collected. Besides providing some demographics by the villages that made up the parish of Pacanów, it also gives you an inkling of the villages that comprise the parish [it may not be an exhaustive list]. You should also be aware that Catholic parish boundaries changed over time, just as they do today. So parish and dioceses may be different from earlier periods and also from those of the present time.
This was also an excellent exercise in practicing reading, transliterating, and translating Russian/Cyrillic to the Latin-based Polish alphabet. As always, the handwriting of the priest , the quality of the paper/book/ink and even the original scanning of the church records affects your paleographic efforts. So scanning church records for a limited set of proper nouns can improve your paleographic/translating skills. After all, I know the noun has to be a village on the map (some map from that time period) so even difficult paleographic challenges can usually be resolved.
Results of Marriage Statistics
For indexing/scanning purposes the villages are:
Karsy Duzy, Karsy Maly, Kepa Lubawska, Komorow, Kwasow, Niegoslawcie, Pacanow, Rataje, Slupia, Sroczkow, Szczeglin, Zabiec
I did not include Folwark Dolne as that is a manor house/ estate, (more so than an actual village).

BodyCom Development Kit
As the world continues to convert objects into digital identifiers and expand the Internet of Things, electronics manufacturers are expanding their product offerings to take on this exciting transformative opportunity. Arizona-based Microchip Technology has recently developed a system that uses a person's own electrical field to transfer and communicate information. Their system, called BodyCom, has numerous applications, ranging from authentication and pairing, to safety and automation scenarios.
While passive RFID technologies can be employed for some of this kind of activity, they don't offer the level of security or extensible programmability that BodyCom has to offer. Plus, BodyCom's claim to fame is that it must be within a small radius near a living human body to work.
Figure 1: The BodyCom concept.
BodyCom works via capacitive coupling and allows for bidirectional communication with a controller. In other words, your body becomes the electrical conduit that the BodyCom system uses to communicate. As such, the system uses the body as a means of authentication. It also prevents relay attacks due to its proximity and conformity with the body it is using as its conduit. And because the system also supports AES-128 and other encryption approaches, it can be used with far more confidence than a traditional RFID key-lock system.
Developing a BodyCom Application
Microchip offers the BodyCom Development Kit for $149, which can be directly ordered from their website. The development kit consists of a programmable base station board and two generic keyfob-enclosed mobile units. The base station uses a PIC16LF1829 20-pin Flash MCU with XLP technology that can be programmed and powered via the included mini-USB to USB 5V cable connected to a computer running Microsoft Windows. The board can also be powered via a standard 9V power supply. The main development board also hosts a 16x2 character LCD with backlight and controller for basic information display. There are also several push buttons, LED's, prototyping pins, jumpers, and two coupling board pads for easy prototyping.
Figure 2: The BodyCom development kit.
The mobile units use a PIC16LF1827 18-pin Flash MCU, two LED's, and several other components to help minimize power consumption because they need to be actively powered by a 3V battery to work. Both the base and mobile units feature on-chip programmable Flash memory and EEPROM storage for custom development.
It took me about ten minutes to get oriented with the board, and even less time to connect it to my computer and run the demonstration program included in the development kit software.
Unfortunately, the SDK is Windows-only at this time, with no Mac or Linux version in sight. Fortunately, the board and mobile units come preloaded with a demonstration program that can be operated using the four push buttons and the LCD via a simple navigational menu to check for BodyCom Eval Touch, Eval Proximity, Debug Menu, and View Mobile ID. These provide a quick way to verify that the hardware is working correctly.
The development software running on a Windows PC offers basic boot and application loading, as well as serial monitoring of the board's activity. The user interface isn't exciting and could use some polish, but it is functional. After studying the demo code that accompanies the SDK, I was able to create a very simple detection program that validated the specific mobile unit I used. I would like to further extend the idea to home automation and use the BodyCom system for a door lock scenario, similar to the one I wrote about in my book, Programming Your Home.
However, until Microchip Technology offers an easy way to hook in events from the main board with a serial library example application that lives within a COM object or .NET library I can repurpose for my own programs, this will have to wait for a rainy day when I have the time to code up a custom approach instead.
The BodyCom System Development Kit offers a unique way to use the human body as a conduit for authentication and security. There is enough electronics on the main board to mock up prototypes for a variety of applications. As Microchip Technology continues to iterate on this idea, there's no doubt that the components (especially the mobile units) will become smaller and less expensive over time. Eventually, it's possible that we will see BodyCom-enabled devices in consumer electronics, ATM's, company entrances, vehicles, and more. Get ready for the Internet of Things where man meets machine.

6mm Garden Aerial Runway Questions & Answers
6mm Garden Aerial Runway Questions & Answers
Q: Can adults go on the Zip wires?
A: Yes they can as long as the model is using
Q: What is better a seat or handle?
A: For younger children the Seat is always much better.
Q: Do you sell harnesses?
A: No, a harness is intended for big fall heights, and requires adult supervision both at the start of the ride and the end. Our equipment is designed to skim the user a couple of feet above the ground removing any fall height risk and allowing children to play without adult intervention.
Q: Does the tyre brake system work as well as the spring brake?
A: The tyre brake will stop the trolley so you do not hit the tree at the finish, but it's always a very hard stop unlike the spring brake that absorbs the energy and then bounces you back up the ride up to 10m for small children.
Q: Do you have to drill through the tree?
A: Yes you do when fitting the drum tensioner and cable holding device, they both fit on the back of the tree once you have drilled right through the tree. We do sell very long auger drill bits 600mm long. The tree diameter can not exceed 600mm.
Q: My plastic wheels have broken but it is not a very old the set?
A: The nylon wheels will always break before anything else goes wrong. If this happens you can replace the wheels but they only break for 2 reasons. 1. Too much weight on the ride or 2. You have extended the cable from what was in the kit. If you do not change the use back to the recommended use the wheels will break again, preventing a more serious problem.
Q: Why can't I buy one of the cheaper toy sets and just buy a longer cable?
A: The cable that comes in each of plastic sets are the maximum length the nylon wheels can take before they heat up and break. You will see that as the weight/length goes up so does the cable thickness from 3mm to 4mm,
etc. Also the number of wheels which spread the weight over 2 or 4 wheels.
Q: Why do the plastic sets have no brake option unlike the 6mm and
A: The plastic sets are designed for both ends to be at the same height for younger children, if you put a brake at the finish it will shatter the plastic trolley. The
trolleys that can have a brake are metal and will not be damaged.
Q: I have a slope on my garden is this ideal for a Zip wire?
A: If you have a small difference in heights it is OK but big slops are not suitable. The best is level ground for a zip wire for your garden.
Q: I want my children to use the Zip wire but can adults sometimes have a go?
A: If you need the set to take adult weights as well on the ride take advice as the set will need to cope with them.
Q: I have no trees in my garden what do I do?
A: You will need to build a structure take advice as what design will suit best depending on the distance.
Q: Why are the
sets so expensive?
A: The main reason is due to the safety and extra strength. Cables are made with 133 smaller strand which all make a smooth, strong ride. Warning some companies may offer 49 strand cables (7X7) which is not suitable for zip wire use. If you have existing cable call us to check the specification. If it has a fibre core it is not suitable. 7x7 cable with fibre core cable costs half the price but will be to slack and wears the nylon wheels very quickly. Our cable also come with a machined hard eye, and a fused and tapered end to prevent fraying.
Q: Why are all the plastic and steel trolley enclosed?
A: Our whole range, from the cheapest to the most expensive are enclosed to stop finger and hair entrapment.
Q: Why do the
sets stop at 40m and the
sets stop at 80m?
A: The reason the sets have limits are due to safety testings. If more than 80m of
cable is used its outside of testing and will put more strain upon the equipment than designed/tested for.
Q: What is the longest length for a commercial application?
A: 40m would be the longest in a playground.
Q: I have 2 trees but I do not want to drill them, what can I do?
A: Depends on the distance, sometimes you can loop round at both ends take advice on this point when calling.
Q: Do I need a harness for the zip wire ride?
A: No, a seat will always be ok as the fall heights will always be low.
Q: I have tree house can I launch from it?
A: Depends on the height and distance or the ride. Call for advice.
Q: What guarantee does the zip wire sets have?
have 5 years guarantee on the cable, trolley, tensioner, seat/monkey handle, cable holding device, end stopper and all clamps and thimbles. The spring brake, finger guards, internal brake rubber and wheels have 6 months due to amount of use.
Q: What is the minimum recommended age for a zip wire?
A: We recommend 8 years and up.
Q: What is the maximum weight the sets can take.
A: Each set states the maximum weights and our advice is always be 3/4 inside this. IE: 6mm equipment has an 18 stone maximum but does not want more than 14 stone in use.
Q: Are zip wires dangerous?
A: No if set up correctly, if your fall height is too much then it is dangerous. Please take advice when you call.

A Random Melange of Thoughts from the Postseaon so far
Wow, it has been one hell of a Postseason so far. Barring one's own team making it to October, a baseball fan couldn't ask for a better gift than watching all four Division Series going to five games complete with extra innings, walk off wins, taut pitching duels and plenty of derring-do in the field and at the plate. I only wish I had a little more time to take it all in. Ugh. It's not as if I'm glad the Angels aren't in the Postseason this year, but if I have to spend this many late hours on a work project in October, let's just say I'm glad it happens to coincide with a year the Angels aren't in the playoffs. Because, seriously, if it was the Angels I was only able to watch with part of my distracted attention, my coworkers would be significantly less than thrilled with me right now. Hell hath no grumpiness like a fan denied, and all that. Anyway, couple of thoughts on the Postseason so far.
Derek Jeter: I'm rooting against the Yankees, which shouldn't really be a shock. I generally root against them. But that doesn't mean I ever want players get hurt. It was shock and a half, seeing Derek Jeter fracture his ankle. It looked bad when he went down, then it almost looked like he was joking with Robinson Cano and I briefly thought he might be okay but then, *shudders* that look on his face and you had to know it was bad even before the diagnosis was in. Not the way anyone wants to end their season and certainly not the way any fan of the game wants to see any player, let alone one of the all-time greats, end their season. I wish Jeter a full and speedy recovery.
Drew Storen: I will lament bad plays and bad seasons in blog posts, but I could never boo an Angels player, no matter how bad the season. So I absolutely cannot understand the level of hate heaped on Drew Storen after his blown save in game five of the Nationals/Cardinals series. Yes, the blown save was terribly disappointing, especially with all four runs coming after the 2nd out, epsecially after such a magical season. But, as with most losses, this was a team loss. What of the other relievers that let the Nationals 6 -1 lead slowly slip into a close game in the 9th? What of the offense that went all but dormant after the 3rd inning? There is no one person to blame here and that's baseball. Besides, even if there was, the Nationals had a great season, a season fans should be proud of. And, while I'm not going to tell you that baseball is only a game – because to those of us who love it, it is so much more than that – I will say that very few things in this world justify heaping that level of hate on a person and baseball is not one of them.
Bryce Harper: We as fans gripe when players practice their clichés with maddening dedication in their interactions with the media, so why do so many folks complain even louder when the occasional player or manager breaks the mold and actually speaks their mind? I laughed when Bryce Harper got sarcastic with the reporter. "You think so? Maybe you should be our hitting coach." Hilarious. Look, the how do you feel questions are abysmally stupid questions – how do you think I feel?! – that must be asked, even so. Reporters can't exactly write an entire article based on how the player appeared to feel and what the manager said about how the player feels. They need quotes directly from the player even when the answer is pretty obvious. Understanding this, however, doesn't mean that I'm not going to appreciate the hell out of it with my laughter if, every once in a while, a player responds to such questions with the kind of sarcastic response I've certainly got in my head. If Harper responded to reporters like this in every interview, I'd go along with the brat assessment. But, as it is, I'm just going to be thankful for the occasional non-"it's a marathon not a sprint" gems. They provide humor, the provide a bit of insight and you have to admit, the kid's got a way with words.
And that's all the thoughts fit to print from this old brain for now. Hopefully I will get a little more time to watch October baseball in the coming weeks and get a few more thoughts on the blog.
