The science is remarkable: infants, toddlers and preschoolers all soaking up knowledge faster than we ever thought possible. But what will it take to put that science into practice and give the youngest among us the opportunity for success they deserve?
We're experiencing an unprecedented push to expand and improve early education - not just here in Washington state, but all across the country. Supporters say it could literally change our world.
Several states now offer universal preschool education where families can send their kids to preschool and tax dollars will pay for it. That's not the case in Washington state, but Governor Christine Gregoire did start a Department of Early Learning in 2005, with a budget of more than $360 million. It's a lot of money, but not enough for universal preschool. Still, the case for early childhood education is striking.
In one study conducted over more than 40 years, children who attend preschool are more likely to graduate from high school, more likely to be employed, have higher earnings, more home ownership, bigger savings accounts and fewer lifetime arrests.
The push for better early childhood education also got a boost, with the election of President Barack Obama. He has proposed an $8 billion Early Learning Challenge Fund, that would help provide money for high quality early education.
Jacqueline Jones, a senior advisor in the Obama Administration, says it's indeed all about quality.
"We're going to work as hard as we can to make sure that the programs in communities are strong," said Jones. "There's a strong oral language base the children have, that they really get that enriched pre-literacy background that people are reading to their children, and talking to their children. We're going to make sure that the expectations are very, very high."
But perhaps the single greatest spur to early childhood education has been research on how infants and toddlers learn. And some of the best research is done right here in the Pacific Northwest at the University of Washington.
"Babies learn more from zero to three than we do from 30 to 33, from 40 to 43, and 50 to 53," said Andy Meltzoff, University of Washington. "Babies learn more in the first few years of life than we ever will again."
Researchers like Meltzoff and Patricia Kuhl at the University of Washington are decipher the way babies learn. We know, for instance, when parents talk to their babies in the way that all parents do, Kuhl calls it "Motherese." Babies are actually learning something.
"The vowels, if you measure ee, ah and oo - in words like sheep, shoe and keys, they're much more distinct in 'motherese.' They're further apart accoustically. It's like being able to show a baby 'here's what to listen for. Here are the components,'" said Kuhl.
All these studies suggest babies are learning an incredible amount in their first years, and yet we have no real memory of our time as babies. So we're tempted to think not much is going on in their brains. Kuhl ad Meltzoff say that's not true. Babies absorb culture, language, social interaction and emotions - the most basic building blocks of who'll they'll become someday.
"The news is that babies are learning at daycare centers and learning from us, so we're role models right from the beginning," said Meltzoff.
"It is lasting learning," said Kuhl. "It's the kind of learning that makes a profound effect on the baby's brain and mental operations. And that sets them up for later. "
The growing evidence of how infants and children learn has had a big impact on our elected leaders. In July of 2006, Gov. Christine Gregoire anounced the formation of Thrive by Five Washington, a public-private partnership for early learning. In 2005, she created the Department of Early Learning. With the launch of Thrive by Five, there's also a big push to educate the public, parents, lawmakers and business leaders about the power of early learning. CLICK HERE
On Tuesday, Gov. Gregoire will deliver her State of the State Address. We are told she will outline her own plan for early childhood education. In early December, she received a draft plan submitted to her by the heads of the Department of Early Learning, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and Thrive by Five Washington. KING 5's Joyce Taylor talks with Nina Auerbach, President and CEO of Thrive by Five Washington. CLICK HERE
Besides weighing in on public policy, Thrive by Five Washington is creating a model early education resource center in Seattle's White Center neighborhood called Educare. It debuts in February, and there are teachers and students waiting for it to open its doors. KING 5's Joyce Taylor reports. CLICK HERE
HEAD START and ECEAP
The Federal Government already funds a program for disadvantaged children called Head Start. And the state funds a similar program called ECEAP (Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program), modeled after Head Start. CLICK HERE
One of the big concerns of those trying to shape early education is the quality of that education. It's also a concern for parents who want to make sure their child is ready for kindergarten. So how do you know if a preschool is good or not? KING 5's Cam Johnson reports. CLICK HERE
Last winter, the state lawmakers set a formidable task for themselves: create a blueprint for a complete makeover of basic education. When that blueprint passed the House and the Senate, Governor Gregoire signed it, except for two sections. That veto took many lawmakers by surprise.
Washington State Rep. Skip Priest, R-Federal Way, one of the architects and key lawmakers on the state's education reform bill, speaks out on the governor's veto of early education reform. He says the veto could end up costing needy preschool children. KING 5's Brad Goode reports. CLICK HERE
The 2010 Washington State Legislative session convenes on Monday as lawmakers try to find funding for early education.
But not everyone thinks the state is heading down the right path when it comes to early education. Liv Finne with the Washington Policy Center think tank expresses concern over the state's plan for early education. He asks if the state runs early childhood education, why should we expect it to be better than the rest of public education? CLICK HERE
A key for promoters of more and better early childhood education is business support. Activists argue that early education is like an investment - it will reap social and financial returns in the future. One of the businesses that has led the push for early childhood education is Boeing. KING 5's Brad Goode reports. CLICK HERE
The Business Partnership for Early Learning has committed $4 million over five years to this innovative learning program. The program's focus is the most important relationship in a child's early development - the relationship with their parents. KING 5's Cam Johnson reports. CLICK HERE
Are business leaders convinced early education is a good investment? Some leaders in the business community think so. Scott Carson, Scott Oki and John Stanton talk about business and investing in early education. CLICK HERE
Scientists are learning more every day about a child's brain, but how does that help parents? The Talaris Institute, a local non-profit whose business is early childhood education, is taking those findings and turning them into practical products for parents. KING 5's Brad Goode reports. CLICK HERE
So what role do private agencies and companies like Talaris play in early education? And what will their role be as the state builds an early education system. KING 5's Joyce Taylor examines these questions with Katie Simons, Executive Director of the Talaris Institute. CLICK HERE
It will be interesting to watch as early education advocates try to advance their plan this year. State funds are short and at some point, even if not this year, more money will be needed. But there's a lot to do that doesn't take so much money.
And remember: It's not a one-year plan, it's a 10-year plan. The economy will be getting better, growing support for early education makes a better system with more options and better tools for parents seeming inevitable.

- We advise you to exercise normal safety precautions and monitor developments that might affect your safety in Laos.
- Pay close attention to your personal security and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.
- We recommend that you exercise a high degree of caution in Xaisomboun district, east of Vang Vieng, because of the potential for attacks by bandits.
- A number of tourists, including Australians, have died or been injured in accidents along the river at Vang Vieng. Extreme caution is recommended if undertaking river-based sporting activities.
- The rainy season normally runs from May to November and tropical storms, typhoons, flooding and landslides are more likely to occur during this time.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed human deaths from avian influenza in Laos. See the Health section for advice to Australians travelling to or resident in Laos.
- Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
- organise comprehensive travel insurance and check what circumstances and activities are not covered by your policy
- register your travel and contact details, so we can contact you in an emergency
- subscribe to this travel advice to receive free email updates each time it's reissued.
Entry and exit
Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Laos for the most up-to-date information.
You should ensure you obtain an entry stamp on arrival. Failure to do so may result in a fine or detention.
You should use only official border crossing points to enter Laos.
Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia. You should carry copies of a recent passport photo with you in case you need a replacement passport while overseas.
Safety and security
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. You can find more information about this threat in our General advice to Australian travellers.
Civil unrest/Political tension
Isolated incidents of civil unrest, including armed attacks and bombings, have occurred in the past.
You are advised to avoid any protests or demonstrations and follow the instructions of local authorities. Curfews may be enforced and can include roadblocks, spot roadside checks and occasional raids on premises.
We advise you to exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety in Laos. Pay close attention to your personal security and monitor the media for information about possible safety or security risks.
Violent crime such as robbery, rape and sexual assault, including in Vientiane, Vang Vieng and in the city of Luang Prabang, commonly occurs.
Violence, including bombings, has in the past been used in business and personal disputes. Local law enforcement agencies often lack the resources and capability to effectively deal with such threats. Although foreign travellers are not ordinarily targeted, there is the potential for bystanders to be caught up in such incidents.
There have been a number of recent drug-related deaths among travellers in Laos. Some restaurants in popular tourist locations offer drug-laced food and drink which may contain harmful and unknown substances. Travellers have been assaulted after accepting 'spiked' food and drink. Never leave food and drink unattended. See our Partying Overseas page for further advice.
Petty crime, including bag snatching by thieves on motorcycles and theft from guest houses, occurs frequently. In the lead up to local festivals, such as Lao New Year in April, there is a significant increase in theft and violent crime.
Travellers should always remain vigilant when travelling in rural and remote locations across the country. You should be particularly vigilant when travelling on Route 7 (Phou Khoun to Phonsavanh) or Route 6 (near the town of Sam Neua, Huaphan Province).
Xiasomboun district:
You should exercise a high degree of caution in Xaisomboun district, east of Vang Vieng, due to the potential for attacks by bandits. Travel is not permitted without a permit from the Lao authorities.
Money and valuables
Before you go, organise a variety of ways to access your money overseas, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. Australian currency and travellers' cheques are not accepted in many countries. Consult with your bank to find out which is the most appropriate currency to carry and whether your ATM card will work overseas. The ANZ Bank has a head office and various ATMs in Vientiane and an office in Pakse. Only a small number of ATMs outside of Vientiane accept foreign credit and debit cards, and those that do may be out of order.
Make two photocopies of valuable documents such as your passport, tickets, visas and travellers' cheques. Keep one copy with you in a separate place to the original and leave another copy with someone at home.
While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.
As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
You are required to pay an additional fee to have a lost or stolen passport replaced. In some cases, the Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.
Local travel
Extreme caution is recommended if undertaking river-based sporting activities, including in Vang Vieng. Tourists, including Australians, have been killed or seriously injured while participating in river-based activities such as tubing or jumping into the river. River levels can vary during the year and the presence of debris in the river can make diving or jumping into the river dangerous. Travellers considering participating in river based activities should carefully consider their personal safety and take appropriate precautions.
The safety standards Australians might expect of tour operators are not always met, especially when undertaking adventure sports. 'Fast boat' river travel, in particular, can be dangerous due to excessive speed and natural hazards.
Boats travelling on the Mekong River in the 'golden triangle' area (between China, Laos, Burma and Thailand) have been robbed and shot at in the past.
Unexploded ordnance is prevalent in many parts of Laos, particularly in Xieng Khouang province (location of The Plain of Jars) and the Lao-Vietnamese border areas along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Straying from established walking paths and roads can be dangerous as affected areas are often unmarked.
Australians travelling independently (not part of a tour group) should contact provincial or district offices, which can provide information on travelling to specific areas. Tourists who wish to camp must obtain permission from local authorities in advance.
The Mekong Riverbank in Vientiane is a border of Laos and Thailand. This is a known smuggling route, and is strictly patrolled by Lao and Thai border security. Those suspected of smuggling are likely to be questioned and may be detained. Lao authorities have advised that tourists should exercise caution along the Mekong Riverbank in Vientiane after 10.30pm.
It is a requirement to carry identification at all times. Police undertake frequent checks of motorists in towns and have checkpoints in rural areas. Failure to provide identification when requested may result in fines or detention.
Transport within Laos does not generally meet Australian safety standards. Driving in Laos can be hazardous due to poorly maintained roads and vehicles, local driving practices, livestock on rural roads and a lack of road lighting. The number of road accidents and fatalities, particularly at night and involving motorcycles, has risen sharply in recent years. For further advice, see our Road safety page.
Airline safety
We are aware that at least one company has prohibited its staff from flying on MA60 aircraft, occasionally used by Lao airlines, due to concerns about safety and reliability. This policy has been brought to the attention of Australian Embassy staff in Vientiane. For further information, please refer to our air travel page.
When you are in Laos, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
Penalties for drug offences are severe in Laos and include the death penalty. Penalties for serious crime, such as rape, murder and treason, also include the death penalty.
Non-marital sexual relationships and co-habitation between Lao citizens and foreigners are not permitted under Lao law. Permission for marriage or engagement to a Lao citizen must be granted by the Lao authorities. Penalties for failing to register a relationship include fines and imprisonment.
Photographing or visiting military sites is prohibited and may result in arrest or detention.
Unauthorised religious preaching, including the distribution of religious material, is prohibited and may result in arrest or deportation.
Lao authorities have advised that tourists should not visit temples or sites that have religious or cultural significance after 10.30pm. Offenders may be questioned or detained.
Local car insurance may not cover all expenses in the event of a road accident. A compensation payment for third party property damage and injury may be required, regardless of fault.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years' imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
Information for dual nationals
Laos does not recognise dual nationality. This may limit the ability of the Australian Government to provide consular services to Australian/Lao dual nationals who are arrested or detained. We recommend you travel on your Australian passport at all times.
Our Dual nationals page provides further information for dual nationals.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Medical facilities in Laos are extremely basic and food is not supplied to patients. It is recommended that travellers access medical services across the border in Thailand. The Australian Embassy in Vientiane operates a small medical clinic that may be accessed by Australians. Many doctors and hospitals require cash payment prior to providing services, even for emergency care. In the event of a serious illness or accident, medical evacuation to Bangkok, Thailand would be necessary, costing up to $A18,000 depending on circumstances.
Malaria is a risk in rural areas of Laos. Other mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis, are prevalent in Laos, especially during the rainy season. We recommend you consider taking prophylaxis against malaria and take measures to avoid mosquito bites, including using insect repellent at all times, wearing long, loose-fitting, light coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof.
Water-borne, food-borne and other infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS, cholera, hepatitis, rabies and tuberculosis) are prevalent with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before travelling. We advise you to boil all drinking water or drink bottled water, and avoid ice cubes and raw and undercooked food. Do not swim in fresh water to avoid exposure to certain water-borne diseases such as schistosomiasis. Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed human cases of avian influenza in Laos. See our health page and Avian Influenza bulletin for further information on influenza.

DRUM is a service of the University of Maryland Libraries. The University of Maryland Libraries use DRUM as a long-term storage system for digital documents; it captures, preserves, and provides access to the research output of University of Maryland researchers, centers, and labs.
This document gives a brief overview of how DRUM works. It is oriented to help anyone get started submitting for deposit to DRUM quickly. Because DRUM is not your run-of-the-mill content management system, we hope you'll review the concepts presented here, and that doing so will help you prepare and submit your files more smoothly.
On to the overview! First, two meta-points:
You will need to be logged in to DRUM before you can begin a deposit. See the deposit policy for who can submit works. University of Maryland users can log in using their university ID and password. The system automatically assigns you deposit permissions based on the departmental information found in the University LDAP system, which manages personal information about campus affiliates.
After starting a submission, you will be led through a seven-step process: this includes some basic questions about your materials first, then several screens where you can describe your materials (see metadata below) and upload your files, a verification screen (where you can even compare file checksums if you wish), and a license-granting screen. Each of these steps has more detailed documentation available as links on each screen.
After you finish, the folks at the UM Libraries will look over your submission to make sure that it appears complete and then will approve your deposit. In other words, your materials will not go directly into the archive. You will be notified by email as soon as final approval of your submission occurs.
DRUM content is organized into communities, with logical groups of materials organized into collections within individual communities. The smallest unit of content in DRUM is an "item," a.k.a., one "thing," whether that's a single file article, or a single dataset made of several files, or several file format versions of the same image. Take a look at the communities overview and browse some DRUM items to get a feel for how it works. If you have questions about whether your materials should be one or several items, or even a collection, feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to consult with you.
We librarians are big on metadata. Hopefully after thinking about it a bit you will be too. In collections as big as libraries, of which DRUM is just a part, being able to find a single item or a set of relevant items for a given user in some context of information need is very dependent on the quality and consistency of descriptive information available for querying. Some description can be done mechanically: file sizes, checksums, and full-text indexing, for instance, are critical elements, so we've built those in. But we also need a higher order of human-made description in order to determine things like titles, authors, unique identifiers, and abstracts. If DRUM handled just one genre of content (say, just articles), we could standardize formats and templates to make this easier. DRUM handles many genres and many formats, however, so we need your help in providing this description.
DRUM uses a qualified version of Dublin Core as a descriptive lingua franca across all content. Some communities or collections may also have tailored metadata available (such as MARC records for book collections or FGDC records for geographic datasets). But even where that's available for some items, we crosswalk more detailed metadata records into our Dublin Core vocabulary to ensure a common layer of descriptive specificity for browsing and searching across everything. The "describe" pages in the submission interface map the values you enter to our vocabulary: what you enter will be what others use to find your content in the future. So please take a moment to read the explanations of each field and check the help screens. And don't hesitate to contact us with questions, comments, or concerns!
Over time, items stored in DRUM will be preserved using a combination of time-honored techniques for data management and best practices for digital preservation. As for specific file formats, however, obsolescence and proprietary formats make it impossible to guarantee the exact same level of preservation support services for every file.
We have drafted an initial format support policy. As DRUM develops, we will be working to create a more complete policy that we believe will balance the needs of most researchers with the long-term reality and costs of supporting changing technologies over time. Put simply, our initial policy for file formats is:
DRUM implements very minimal access controls. Access controls can be used to ensure that items requiring usage restrictions will be properly limited. In the future, some collections may be limited to University of Maryland network access only, for instance. Currently, all DRUM materials are made freely available to anyone in the world. This includes all items submitted to the collections for individual deposit by UM faculty.
The University of Maryland needs some rights to be granted by authors so that their works can be maintained in the repository. As an author, you never have to give another organization ALL of your copyrights for them to legally store and maintain your work. Recognizing that the University of Maryland needs to have authors approve a minimum level of rights transfer, the agreement used by DRUM only asks for non-exclusive rights to keep the work, preserve it, and make it available on the Web. The term "non-exclusive" means that when you deposit a work in DRUM, you retain all of the copyrights to your work. You can sign other agreements with other organizations granting them the rights you have retained or you can use and enforce those rights yourself. Authors often have many questions about their copyrights for their works and how copyright issues affect their ability to deposit work in DRUM. More information is available about your rights as an author and about giving non-exclusive rights to the University of Maryland. There is a also a set of Author FAQs.
If you are at all unsure about whether you have permission to deposit a particular item in DRUM, don't do it! Get in touch with us and we'll help figure it out what will be best.
The fastest ways to contact DRUM support staff is via our help list, email@example.com. You can quickly send email to our help list from anywhere in DRUM; just click "comments" at the bottom of any page. Be sure to give us a valid email address so we can respond.

"A winner"
I had access to vinyl LP's with the author reading this story and recorded them on tape many years ago. This was just as good (and, of course, the audio quality was even better). It's a timeless story and should be required reading (or listening) for anyone professing to be human. I may exaggerate a little, but not much. Either way, I highly recommend it.
"Quantum this!"
I agree with other reviewers who said this is not a lecture on Quantum mechanics -- thank God! It is a fascinating biographical story of things that happened, for the most part, almost a hundred years ago (or more) and are still very poorly understand and agreed upon by the brightest minds of our time. There is, in my opinion, just about the right amount of science to mix with the story. These people were amazing at the turn of the last century. There was one relatively small character in the book who had ELEVEN of his students later win a Nobel prize. You can't make this stuff up. A good read especially if you really like the history of science even more than the science itself.
"Nothing really new here...sorry"
I'm not sure what my expectations were. I'm a huge second amendment supporter and certainly right of center politically and I agree with the sentiment that guns don't kill anyone at all. I also think that I've never seen a murder on TV (except I guess I did see Jack Ruby shoot Oswald, come to think of it). There are no murders on TV or in the movies, of course. All that said, I guess I expected a more reasoned approach from Stephen King. Some of his novels get a bit preachy (usually on the lefty side of the aisle) but never enough to bother me much, and I was actually surprised to hear he was a gun owner. His arguments are pretty familiar and lame, however. I am still and will always be a fan, however. As he said in the introduction, I'm one of those who thinks he should stick to writing books. In this essay, he's either preaching to the (gun-control) choir, or whatever the opposite metaphor would be (can't think of one offhand).
"Great when it's the story, not the stats"
This is a wonderful story, especially so when it sticks to the horse, the racing, and the people. Occasionally the author gets a little bogged down in lists of how much each horse won and the pedigree of various other horses. All in all, however, it's definitely worth the listen. The author can make a prose description of a horse race pretty exciting!
"He's Baaaaack!"
Whatever it is in Stephen King's head that makes him a great storyteller was as near dead as he was for quite a while after his brush with the grim reaper. I guess this isn't all that surprising; who wouldn't be a little nonplussed when things got so bad that your own obituary was published in a newspaper? But most people's work doesn't leave their brain process so naked and exposed. A doctor, for example, after a hear-death experience, might have a lot of changes in his approach to life and work, but very few people would know about the changes, probably least of all his patients. The story-telling machine in King's head, I submit, was severely damaged after his accident, but not dead. His works since then seemed to lack something, but it was hard, even for a fan like me, to really put a finger on what was missing. When I first read (listened to) Under the Dome, I thought more than once to myself, "He's back!" And he was… almost. The ending of the book just kind of left me cold, so much so that it's hard to remember now what even happened. When you read the blurb about 11-22-63 it says it's about a guy who finds a time portal and goes back to attempt to prevent Kennedy's assassination. That would have been a short story, but this book is about so much MORE, however. It's about a man finding a place in the world where he is loved, and a woman who loves him SO much. There are the peripheral and parallel plots at which King is a master both in creating and in keeping straight in his, and therefore in his reader's heads. And you don't have to agree with the book's political stance, which is subtle – but yes, it's there – in order to enjoy reading/listening to it.
The interesting part about story-telling is that if you're even a decent writer, if the story is there in your head, "all you have to do is write it down!" Admittedly that's a little like saying that all you have to do in order to perform a heart transplant is "take the old one out and put the new one in, stupid!" I guess what it comes down to is that story telling, in the final analysis, is an art, and writing is basically a craft, and while "arts and crafts" are often fellow travelers, they aren't the same thing. I don't think King's craft was hurt substantively in his accident, but his art, which seemed to have either left him, or least be pulling away from him, is back. A REALLY good book.
The narration is excellent; the reader does an fairly authentic Maine accent (I don't have one, but heard one often enough to know), and seems to find distinctive voices for most of myriad characters that are so much a part of King's novels. I never got tired of listening to him.
"What a downer!!"
Before I say my piece, I'll state that the book was very well written and the reader was excellent (he had many different accents to perform, even Russian, German, Yiddish and a few others and did well with all of them, to my ear). This book is, of course, really a downer, but when you realize that Bobby Fisher's entire life, except for a few chess highlights like winning the national championship at age 13 and the World Championship in 1972, was indeed a real downer.
I for one, being an eager chess player but a real potzer in terms of skill, learned a lot from this book – just to list a few: the fact that he was married, the fact that he was incarcerated in Japan for several months and lived for several years in Iceland when a was a fugitive, for tax evasion and some other alleged violation of sanctions against a foreign country The author made it interesting without a lot of specific move notation and no diagrams at all (at least none in the audio edition ) and I think this makes the book understandable to a much wider audience. The almost meteoric rise of Fisher to the stratosphere of the chess world was in such stark contrast to the end of his life that the book couldn't help having not only a sad ending, but a continually depressing entire second half. I guess I always wondered what really happened to Bobby Fisher, and now I know, I'm wondering if I can ever forget it.
I certainly hope so.
I'm going to try "Searching for Bobby Fisher" next and am hoping it can be an upper.
"It's A HIT!!"
My first experience with McCammon was Swan Song and I was, quite frankly, amazed by it. When I saw that this was "historical" I spent some time reading reviews before I finally decided to download the first book. The word "historical" is usually a turnoff for me. I like my fiction totally fictional, but luckily the "history" in this book was so cunningly woven into the story and characters that it didn't distract me at all.
First, the author is an astoundingly good writer. His descriptions really give great mental visuals. Even his description of clothing, which would normally bore me a bit, seem to really aid in the character development. His turns of phrase are quite clever as well, and although much of the book is very dark in character, there are moments where I laughed out loud.
Second, this book is all about characters. The plot, as one reviewer said, is to some extent predictable: young hotshot figures everything out and all the establishment figures don't, and saves the beuatiful woman at the end. But think of the plot as just a scaffold on which the author hangs his truly beautiful prose and his deeply developed characters.
Third, Matthew Corbett is just a very likeable young man. Supremely intelligent but not arrogant, confident without being overbearing. The other characters vary from bland to horrific.
Once you get past the rather grand-sounding name (no offense intended at all, it's just that one could go a lifetime without meeting anyone called Edoardo Ballerini) the narrator is extremely talented. His job is made more difficult by the fact that there are so many characters in this book that he must keep separated. He does women's and even children's voices in a convincing manner, but seems never to intrude into the story.
Now I don't see how I can avoid downloading all of the books. I can only hope that somewhere down the line he comes back to Fount Royal and sees what's become of Bidwell and Rachel and the other charcters. I can heartily recommend this book. I'll check back when I've listened to the second one.
"Sorry, but..."
I think it is important that this is the ONLY audiobook to which I stopped listening after only an hour and never went back to. It just didn't seem that interesting. I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone else -- maybe it's because I'm a fiction geek for the most part, and reality just doesn't interest me as much. Maybe I'll try it again later, but I cannot recommend this book.
"Quite disappointing"
Yes, I'm a guy, and yes I know this is a "chick" book, but normally I actually like "chick books," which are to me, very rich in characterization and detail. This one I could hardly finish. The alternating between 1942-3 and 2009 seemed almost as if two different authors wrote the stories. I've read several books which used this technique successfully, but this author just did not. While I cannot recommend the book, the narration was really quite good; she used several different voices and read with a lot of expression. I might well try other books read by her. Having spent time on Folly Beach myself (although never living there) sparked my interest in the book, but the local flavor, other than just some references to streets and such, weren't very intriguing either. I'll check and see if other books by the same author are available, and read the reviews a bit more carefully before I invest a credit again.
"Uncertain but maybe..."
I wanted to like this book so much. I love long books, I love a series of long books. Overall, however, I'm very disappointed. Simmons is a very good writer, uses language well, etc. I don't mind the sex scenes, although they seem at times gratuitous and don';t add much to the characters, and may just be a bit much. The pilgrim's individual stories, for the most part, were good and, as another reviewer said, one (in my case the story of Rachel growing younger and losing her memories) was very emotionally moving for me. And I agree that one of the stories (the last one, I think) was a bit confusing and not very interesting. I frequently felt like I was not paying as close attention as I wanted to, and finally realized that what kept running through my head was "When does the REAL story start?" It does seem like this is a giant "back story" telling how these characters got to where they are presently. I would have preferred at least starting the action with what (I presume) is in the second book, and then flashback to these backstories, but that is a personal preference.
The ending is not what I'd want, but I guess the author and all the readers knew a sequel (or many) were coming. It didn't disappoint me nearly as much as Stephen King's ending to the Dark Tower series, but then again I enjoyed every single thing in the Dark Tower series EXCEPT the ending, so it's a little different matter.
I'm putting any further downloads of this series on hold for the moment. I might actually re-listen to part or all of Hyperion (fast-forwarding occasionally) and then decide if I want more.
"Flawed but worth the download"
Although I certainly am a rabid science fiction fan (among other genres) I'm not sure I knew this was classified as science fiction when I bought it. Although it takes place in some future where the understanding of brain chemistry and how to manipulate it is far advanced over today, this setting plays virtually no role in the story except to set up the protagonist's eventual decision to be "treated." This book is a character study of mildly mentally impaired man and although it may suffer, as other reviews have suggested, from a case of "over-doing it," it certainly gives the reader/listener a working knowledge of how a GROUP of such folks interacts with each other and the "normal" world.
What seems to be lacking, however, is PLOT. A lot of individual incidents happen to Lou and his compatriots, and we get to know probably a dozen characters very well, but the rest of the story seems a bit rushed. When I realized how little time was left in the book when Lou finally went in for the "cure", I knew that it was either going to end on the way into the operating room, or end entirely too quickly. The latter is certainly what happened; the part of the story after Lou's treatment was WAY too rushed. I wish another hour or two of more richly detailed plot had been inserted at this point.
All the above being said, however, my recommendation would be: if you like a really good character study, getting to know a person whose mind works a little differently from the average and learning that his personality is at least as rich and complex as any of the "normals," then buy this audiobook.

Now with Streaming Stick, Roku isn't sweating the blitz
It's barely March, and Roku is already having a big year.
In January, the device maker unveiled partnerships with TV manufacturers TCL and Hisense to integrate Roku streaming right into their televisions, without requiring any of the streaming-media set-top boxes the company is known for. On Tuesday, it detailed its new Streaming Stick, a clear response to the popularity of Chromecast, Google's low-price, thumb-sized streamer. With Streaming Stick coming in April and Roku TV slated for the fall, the company has a lot in store for 2014.
However, so do others. Amazon, Apple and possibly even Google are … Read more

---- — With the summer months fading away, we're nearing the end of our research for our sports book to be published in August.
The book will cover athletes and teams from Clinton, Prince of Peace, Camanche and Fulton high schools, ranging from the days of Duke Slater to today. We're profiling these athletes through decades, splitting them into groups – 1960s and before, 1970s, '80s, '90s and '00s.
Just joining this community five years ago, it felt like a daunting task to highlight the area's athletic successes over the past 100 years. My first-hand knowledge went back to 2008, so I was only missing about 95 years worth of history.
But through research, I've found that titles and championships aren't hard to find in this area, making the cut to make the book one of the biggest challenges of any athlete's career. When measuring up against Kenny Ploen or Dan Knight, one title may not be good enough to make the cut for a profile.
However, we are acknowledging every state champion athlete and team in the book. But only about 50 athletes and a handful of teams will register a feature story.
With doing a book like this, I'm aware that there will be debate. A strong argument that has already taken place in our newsroom is judging how to grade a person's performance. How do you measure one athlete that shined in multiple sports, against someone who specialized in one and possibly garnered a pair of titles?
Take for example a pair of athletes in the 2000s – Drew Sikkema, of Prince of Peace, and Tyler Swanson, of Clinton. Sikkema shined in multiple sports, including earning a cross country title, to go along with second-team All-Herald selection in basketball, and participating in the state golf meet.
Although Swanson played more than one sport, he was most noteworthy in golf, where he won a state title in 2001 by 11 strokes. His second round score of 65 outpaced the second-place finisher by nine strokes.
Swanson's impact is best felt in one sport, but his achievements are worthy of being placed in the book.
It's a fine line to walk, but we've tried to include both sets of athletes in the book, to show the great achievements of everyone at these four previously mentioned schools.
During my research, another item has become clear – not all decades are created equal. The powerful performances of the 1960s and before made making the list in the 1960s or before as competitive as any other decade.
In those years, we were comparing athletes that went on to Division I programs and even in the professional ranks for some, including Tom Hilgendorf and Slater.
For all the power of the 1960s and before, the 1970s didn't register as many titles or Division I scholar athletes. Sure, there was the 1976 Steamers that went on to win a state title with Jim Snyder powering through the line as the school's all-time leading rusher, and the St. Mary's basketball teams of 1975 and '77, but the 1970s has been the most difficult decade as of yet to find the all-time greats. But our research isn't finished yet, so who knows what we'll uncover in the coming weeks.
Although there were still many quality athletes in the 1970s, the team and athletic titles picked up to a whole new level in the 1980s. Clinton's gymnastics, cross country, golf and wrestling teams all won championships in the decade, while Camanche saw titles in girls track, baseball and tennis. Mater Dei dominated volleyball in the early part of the decade, to go along with appearances in the state girls basketball tournament.
Almost every year included a championship of some kind for one of the area teams, something that may not be duplicated for years to come. And with strong teams come great athletes, making the 1980s — with athletes like Knight, Maureen Roshar and Clay Sander — a decade that helped put the area on the state and national map.
While the 1992 Crew is probably the best known group from the 1990s, another pattern became clear during research – the emergence of the female athlete. That tradition continued in the 2000s.
With the research winding down, we're putting some of the finishing touches on the athletes and teams of the past 100 years. Don't miss out on this snapshot of time, coming out in late August.

Steve Nash scored 15 of his season-high 37 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Phoenix Suns past the Milwaukee Bucks 114-105 at the Bradley Center tonight.
The Suns (30-12), who have the NBA's second-best record behind Boston (33-6), became the first Western Conference team to notch 30 victories. Phoenix has won four straight since its 97-90 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers last Tuesday.
Amare Stoudemire added 19 points, including 10 in the final period, and grabbed 12 rebounds, while Raja Bell scored eight of his 19 points in the final quarter.
Michael Redd led the Bucks with 28 points, but scored only two in the fourth quarter when he missed all three of his shots. Andrew Bogut added 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Bobby Simmons had 15 points for the Bucks, who have lost six of seven.
Charlie Bell's 3-pointer to open the fourth quarter gave Milwaukee its biggest lead at 86-77, but the Suns refused to fold after trailing most of the second half.

Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Well, that was quick. Last week, the U.S. government shut down file-sharing site Megaupload, arresting and charging the site's operators with a massive criminal conspiracy to commit and enable piracy. The New York Times said the crackdown "sent shivers down the spines" of other online storage sites, such as Dropbox, Mediafire, and Rapidshare, since their models, like Megaupload's, could also allow users to share pirated material. While RapidShare is unconcerned, at least one file-sharing site was scared straight out of its business model. As of Friday, FileSonic was "the world's best file-sharing site":
No more. Over the weekend, the site, based out of the UK and Hong Kong, disabled its sharing function, so that users can only "upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally." Its tagline now identifies it only as "the unlimited storage company."
"The goal of the Megaupload indictment is to push and prod other companies to take copyright infringement more seriously," law professor Orin S. Kerr told the NYT. Even though FileSonic did have software in place to help identify (and remove) copyrighted material, rather than trying to continue to crack down on users who are sharing files that infringe copyright, FileSonic is just going to get out of the business of file sharing all together — even though it is a legitimate business model.
FileSonic users can't be too happy to have one of the main features of the site taken away. But the company must be less worried about its breach of contract with existing users than it is about the possibility of getting the Megaupload treatment, i.e., arrest, seizure of its property, and a criminal indictment.
Nothing quite like being so scared of the government that you stop doing business! Maybe that whole "End the Fed" message should be taken more seriously…
Ummm… "End the Fed" refers to the Federal Reserve Bank, not the federal government….
In fact, most time you see references to "The Fed" it is talking about the Reserve Bank specifically, not the government as a whole.
Anyway, off-topic: I'm sure you'll be posting about it soon, but Miss Hill, it appears you were wrong- the Supremes unanimoulsy agreed that a warrant is required for GPS tracking (hallelujah!)…. I'm reading the majority opinion (Scalia) right now- it looks like he's picking on the same point that I have- the actual attaching of a tracker is a violation of your property.
this sucks but filesonic really did have a GRIP of infringing content on it…regardless I personally hated both filesonic, megaupload, AND most of all hotfile…I used to have alot of my stuff on FS, but then their service went down to crap…then switched to hotfile, who's servers crashed & lost ALL my files…then megaupload which omg i can't believe what happened.
now I have all my files on:
…decent sized allowance, and it gives my users direct-links…which they love….so far, it's been better than sonic, MU and HF COMBINED!!!
"the Megaupload treatment, i.e., arrest, seizure of its property, and a criminal indictment" …without due process.
The online content hosting industry is vulnerable to this. It is sad to see these file locker services cowering under unequal treatment by the judicial system in an otherwise free market.

eeeee... Where is the news?
All the more reason to take my first trip out there next month!
^Thanks, lakewood!
And Photos (#1, #2, #3) from Rising Stars on Ice's facebook.
Michelle Kwan and Yu-Na Kim and the cast of Rising Stars on Ice.
This too will pass away.
Weeee! Thank you for the photos!
Kween and yuna looks so beautiful!
and this lovely,cute kids are made my day!
Yu-Na will likely make the podium next March. But winning after not competing for a whole year? I'm not so sure.
Who's going to beat her?
I hear outside a million panicking birds, and know even out there comfort is done with; it has shattered even the stars, this creature at last come home to me.
This may help you, read "Rule 102 2.Definition of an ineligible person". Yu-Na has no reason to be ineligible.
The matter is how many invitations skaters can receive from the hosting federations. And World championships has another solution to whom not competing during the ongoing season or immediately preceding season. "Preliminary Round".
This too will pass away.
I lost a lot of respect for Yuna after the whole Brian Orser firing earlier this year.
^ what does that have to do with the price of fish in china?
regarding Yuna skipping the gp series, possibly the 4cc's and going straight to the Worlds - i really dont think her one and only goal and purpose is to win the gold. I'm sure it's one of her goals, but i think first and foremost, she wants to skate and deliver her performance and message of thanks to her country people and the audience. the girl's already achieved more than enough medal wise, i guess she wants to achieve more on an emotional and demonstrative level if anything.

From staff reports
The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — John Milledge Academy laid some punishing shots on the Brookwood Warriors in Friday's GISA AA playoff opening 30-6 victory.
"Defense was playing great. I didn't think that quarterback was going to get up a couple of times. The hat goes off to them. Those guys were laying the wood. If they play that way the rest of the year, we are good," Trojan head coach J.T. Wall said.
Brookwood pressured Trojan quarterback Brantley Attaway out of rhythm in the first half. As a product, JMA's stout offense trudged along.
Cooper Morgan converted a fourth and one, before a short touchdown run provided the only first quarter score.
Hunter Harding was the first of many Trojans to rock the Warrior quarterback's bell. Dwayne Boone and Jesse Deariso followed with a sack.
Back near their end zone, Ryan Bresse blocked Brookwood's punt. Jeremy Pinkston recovered for a special teams score pushing the lead to 14-0.
"That punt return team is a pretty good one. When they are worried about punting it to Sealey, we can get some pressure," Wall said. "We should have blocked about seven already this year. We finally got in there and got one."
Both teams' defensive lines frustrated the quarterbacks in the second quarter. Attaway took two sacks before halftime.
The Warriors recorded another special teams mishap resulting in a safety.
See video footage from the game below.
JMA was up 16-0 at the break.
The Trojan offense did just enough to put the game out of reach in the third quarter. Heath McDonald and Andrew Hayes added to the hard-hitting highlights.
JMA stopped a fourth down play to open the quarter. Soon after, Heath Roberts caught a 16-yard touchdown pass.
Morgan ran through tackles like usual for his second touchdown at the 5:00 mark. JMA led 30-0.
Brookwood's old school Wing-T offense controlled the clock for the rest of the third and a large chunk of the final quarter.
The Warriors inched down to the goal line testing the Trojan defense one last time. JMA answered the bell on fourth down, as Harding busted the play up.
Brookwood snuck one score in late. Wall said that could have been prevented, but in his mind the defense pitched a shutout.
Attaway's numbers were enough. The senior quarterback completed 4-of-10 passes for 64 yards and one touchdown.
Morgan showed he is built for the playoffs with 19 carries for 124 yards and two scores.
The Trojans next opponent is Memorial Day after they defeated Flint River Friday. Wall called Memorial a tremendously athletic group.
"(Memorial) is the most athletic bunch of kids we've seen. They have speed everywhere," Wall said.
With the special teams and defense playing at a high level, JMA plans on executing playoff win No. 2 at home next week.

Service was awful and I would not
recommend this place."

Scott's is a great place with
fantastic food and service."
Dined on 7/26/2014
I was pleasantly surprised at the
rooftop dining ambiance. I wanted a romantic, elegant night out with my girlfriend. We don't get many chances and I like to make it count. This restaurant made it happen - soft jazz music, great scene, good food. Plus right by the City National Civic which is where we were going for our event. She'll love you. Go for it."

Service was good. Food was not

On Previous occasions we were able
to get served in time to make the 8:00 performance at the local Theater- this visit 7-19 we barely made it."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Dining at Scott's is always a
pleasure. Food is well prepared and the portions leave you full. The view at the downtown location is sti one of the best in San Jose. For us it was so convenient to walk to the CPA theatre after for a show."
Dined on 7/18/2014
Great food and service! Our
waiter, Scott always give us great service and goes the extra mile to make our visit relaxing and pleasant as well as gets us out on time for our event!"
Dined on 7/18/2014
The food excellent. They provided
validated parking and some especially when planned to watch Jersey Boys afterwards at SJ Civic Ctr."
Dined on 7/17/2014
After waiting 45 minutes for our
meals, I asked our waiter to check on our food. He came back and told us that they were out of chicken. The two people at our table who had ordered chicken had to re-order. This left us in a position to have to wolf down our food to make it to the theater in time. We will try a different restaurant next theater night."
Dined on 7/16/2014
Great food, great wine list, good
time for my family."
Dined on 7/16/2014
Really enjoyed sitting at our
table on the patio and eating our wonderful dinner."
Dined on 7/11/2014
We hadn't eaten at a Scott's
Seafood for years - the fish is still excellent. My husband had swordfish and I had salmon on arugula - both perfectly done and nicely presented; also lovely desserts. The San Jose restaurant is on the top floor of a an office building and there is a deck (too cold that night for us) and a views in the dining room, but the general ambiance is that of an airport lounge, devoid of any personality. Our server was very nice, attentive and helpful. My husband was overjoyed when, after ordering a Booker's bourbon post-dinner, he was brought a martini glass filled to the brim - it was an odd glass and a very large serving, but he didn't complain and happily savored it all."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Stumbled upon Scott's while
searching restaurants near my hotel so didn't expect too much. I was greatly surprised. The outdoor patio is beautiful (music is a bit too loud) with a beautiful view of the sunset and surrounding mountains on a perfect summer evening. Food was fresh, well prepared and very reasonably priced for its quality and quantity. Dessert was the only disappointment so I would stick with food. I've never found too many good choices right in San Jose, but glad to know there's a great option for my next visit!"
Dined on 7/7/2014
You can see the hills on both
sides of the valley from Scott's and the parking is a breeze since they're at the top of a parking garage. A pleasant place for lunch with lots of delicious seafood salads and their trademark delicius clam chowder - good wine list too."
Dined on 7/6/2014
Jimmy our server was very kind and
considerate of my gluten allergy and very prompt. The view was gorgeous and the wine list had a nice selection. There was a chatty Cathy sitting near our table but thankfully her life story she told to her dinner mates (during their entire meal) was interesting so it added humor to the conversations with my fiance. Overall a wonderful birthday celebration"
Dined on 6/29/2014
We tried out Scott's during Dine
Downtown San Jose week, and tried out the whole menu. Our favorite entree out of the rainbow trout, chicken breast, sustainable salmon, and the clam linguini was definitely the salmon followed by the linguini. Out of the two appetizers (clam chowder and butter salad), the chowder stood out more as the salad was nothing too remarkable. However, out of the two desserts (bread pudding and molten chocolate cake), the bread pudding was by far the best thing of the nut. I'm not too much of a fan of dark chocolate, so the molten chocolate cake threw me off a bit. Service was great, but they seemed pretty hasty to take our dishes away. Had to stop them a few times from taking food that wasn't done!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
half dozen fresh oysters - very
good, fresh and tasty - would order again boston clam chowder - very good, bacon touch was very nice - would order again butter lettuce salad - a little heavy on the dressing for my taste but overall it was nicely dressed and bit on the sweeter side potato crusted halibut - the bell pepper sauce made the dish linguini and clams - overcooked pasta, undercooked clams - I love vongole and this dish made me sad bread pudding - unevenly cooked and hard - naglee garage bread pudding is better My overall impression is: decent restaurant but pricey, come for the ambiance or patio seating, old-school classy feel."
Dined on 6/28/2014
Overall nice restaurant, they had
a great band on a Saturday night (Diminshed Blue who plays there periodically)...they played on terrace. Had excellent service, overall very nice experience."
Dined on 6/28/2014
I don't often dine out, restaurant
week seemed perfect opportunity to experiment. Everyone from the hostess to our waiter was so friendly. My grand nephew is 12 years old was with my sister and me. The food was great, my martini was excellent. My sister enjoyed the soft drink Tiger Woods. Our desserts were excellent. Our main course of the meal presented well, was satisfying and tasty, we ordered from the restaurant week menu. We enjoyed our evening."
Dined on 6/27/2014
One of our favorite places in
downtown San Jose. Patio is very nice in summer. Happy hour menu is a tremendous value."
Dined on 6/26/2014
The inside of Scott's is
beautiful, the roof patio is a nice getaway. But my blackened red snapper was way too salty. If I go again, I'll try the Jambalaya which was served in an iron skillet and looked delicious. I like Scott's desserts, the bread pudding being absolutely sublime."
Dined on 6/24/2014
We hadn't been in a while to
Scott's and forgot how really good the food is. We've been before and were impressed, but now as I've been more places, I've come to recognize really good food. Scott's is one of the really great ones. There were some many things on the menu I wanted to try, but settled on the Sauteed scallop dish. Just really good, and the portions were just right. The dish was well presented and finished nicely. For dessert, I had the Creme Brulee and it was just great. The service was great as well. We didn't need a lot of help, but could see our waiter was willing to suggest items if I wasn't sure. The cost was reasonable, and as I say, I'm willing to pay more for good food and great service. We managed to get both."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Good downtown San Jose restaurant
without too much variety but good quality seafood."

Haven't been to Scott's for years
but had an event in downtown San Jose on Sunday. So glad we went to Scott's! The food was delicious - very fresh fish and the service was great. Happy to see it hasn't lost it's edge, even after all these years. My husband - a native San Franciscan - was VERY impressed!"
Dined on 6/8/2014
Very tasty food with a wonderful
ambience. The service was very slow but our waiter was charming. Had to wait ten minutes for our drinks and it was not busy at 5:30 PM. This did not take away from the enjoyment of the evening. I love this place."

Always enjoy coming to Scott's and
it's a perfect location for dinner before a play/musical. Great service, great food - very pleased with everything!!"
Dined on 5/27/2014
Went to Scott's with a group from
work that was an interesting mix of vegetarians, pescetarians and carnivores. There was something on the menu for everybody and even a meatless entree or two for those vegetarians that get dragged to a seafood or steakhouse with a large group. The oyster selections were a combination of East (ME & CT) & West (WA) coasts - all very good. All that was ordered by the group was spoken highly of with the exception of the brussel sprout side-dish which showed-up up cold, but all things considered it was pretty minor. The rooftop seating is great except for the occasional plane from SJC that goes roaring overhead. The validated parking is nice too. I'm confident we'll be retuning."
Dined on 5/20/2014
Scott's came up under my search
for restaurant/lounge with a jazz band and was outdoor seating. When we showed up the outdoor area was reserved for a private party. So we sat indoors in front of the band. Which was fine. My boyfriend enjoyed the band and related to the music since he too is a musician in his off hours. We ordered the seared ahi for our main coarse. Unfortunately is was cold. Very cold. My guess being they pulled it out of the icebox - seared the edges and flopped it on the plate. I told the waiter - he took them back and brought the same meat cooked through and shriveled?? Ask for Manager who fixed it & Paid for entrees BUT 1 drink, 2 glasses wine, 2 cups soup, and 1 shared desert plus tip cost me $150!! "

Booked a table on Mother's day.
My wife and my mother were both presented with a rose upon our arrival. We were seated almost immediately. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming. The menu looked to have something to suit almost any taste. We all ordered something different, and each of us was delighted with our meals. The seafood in my Cioppino was all cooked perfectly and my wife's salmon was delicious. We ordered a pair of deserts and both were wonderful. I also appreciate them validating parking in the garage. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
I took my daughter and
granddaughter for Mother's Day bruch (come to think of it, they should have taken me!). The food was great as was the service. We sat for an hour and a half and the staff never let on if we were overstaying our welcome! Kid friendly and reasonably priced. I would recommend Scott's for brunch, lunch, dinner or an after dinner drink."
