Pucker Up to Beer's Latest Trend
Like kombucha, pickles, and orange wine, the recent trendiness of sour beer exemplifies a fascination with fermentation and all things old-world, as well as that badge of cool the city's epicurean elites attach to all "acquired tastes." Sour beers originate in several regional traditions in Belgium and Germany, in which wild yeasts, in particular Brettanomyces and sometimes native bacteria, are added before fermentation. The result is a tart, high-acid beer with a variable degree of sourness and barnyard funk. Each place has "its own naturally occurring cocktail" of flora, which is akin to terroir in wine, says beer expert Rich Higgins.
To put it simply, sours aren't for everyone. They're often food-friendly because of the acid factor. "But there are so many different ways that a beer can be sour, and this leads to a lot of debate about what's good," says former Bar Tartine beverage director Vinny Eng. Some, particularly Belgian gueuzes, are wickedly puckery and prized among beer geeks for their aromas of sweat socks and "wet dog in a phone booth"—neither of which you might want on your dinner table. So, for newbies to this genre, it's all about balance.
A Sour Beer Primer:
Rodenbach Grand Cru
A rounded and easy-drinking example of the Flemish red style of sour beer. Find it at Toronado (Lower Haight) or The Monk's Kettle (Mission).
Brouwerij Verhaeghe Vichte duchesse De Bourgogne
An excellent beginner's sour with cherry and balsamic notes. Find it at Bar Tartine (Mission), City Beer Store (SoMa)
Briem '1809'
Berliner Weisse
Bright and yogurt-tart. Find it at Bar Tartine
Bayerischer Bahnhof Leipziger Gose
Refreshing, lemony, barely sour, with a bit of salinity. Find it at The Abbot's Cellar (Mission)
Russian River Brewing Company supplication
Aged with cherries in pinot barrels, from the progenitor of the sour beer trend stateside. Find it at the Russian River Brewing Company (Santa Rosa),
The Trappist (Oakland), Healthy
Spirits (Castro)
The Bruery
sour in the rye
A ripe and ultra-tangy option from this Orange County brewery, founded by Patrick Rue, which specializes in Belgian-style beers and makes several sours. Find it at Ales Unlimited (Pacific Heights)

This event is not suitable for novices to British mountains. Both team members must have some Mountain experience: It is the responsibility of all entrants to choose a course commensurate with their ability and experience. The organisers reserve the right to refuse entry if, in their judgement, insufficient ability and experience is demonstrated in the entry form.
Competition and Courses.
Competition Area The assembly area will only be disclosed when race information is dispatched to competitors in mid August. Seeking to gain advantage by reconnoitring the competition area is against the rules.
Competitors are entered as teams of two (Men, Women or Mixed Teams). There are 8 courses: guideline distances and winning times for each course are listed below. These assume reasonable weather conditions.
Elite Course: With international flavour catering exclusively for the most competent and experienced. Only those with proven ability can be accepted for this class.
A Course: Also exceedingly demanding and embracing the same hazardous terrain but with reduced distance and ascent. For experienced mountain marathon competitors.
B Course: Less demanding than the "A' course in both distance and climb. For teams with previous mountain marathon experience.
C Course: Intended as a transition between linear courses and Score courses. At certain stages of the course competitors will need to select which controls they visit. Result will be based solely on time.
D Course: Equivalent to C course in previous years. For teams with limited Mountain Marathon experience, but with good hill walking experience.
Score Competition
• Long Score (LS): suitable for the Elite to experienced B category of competitors who have had previous mountain marathon experience or for orienteers who have extensive mountain experience.
• Medium Score (MS): additional challenge for previous Short Score competitors or as an alternative to the B class.
• Score Short (SS): suitable for teams with hill walking experience and good navigation skills or for orienteers who want to use their skills of navigation in the mountains.
On all courses a prize will be awarded for the best placed team with:
Military Competitors - Jim Hutton Trohpy
Every year we are honoured to receive entries from serving members of the UK military. In recognition of our armed services we are initiating an award for best military team called The Hutton Trophy. This year, the award will be focused on the Long Score as it emphasizes the qualities of the British Armed Forces of self reliance, fitness, navigation and decision making. This award has been presented to OMM by the family of Marine Jamie Hutton who was tragically killed in a training accident. Jamie and his father, Jim, also a serving Royal Marine, were the highest placed family team in their category in the Brecon Beacons 2004. Jim continues to compete as part of the OMM community.
Teams are expected to be able to finish their course in a time of that of the winner plus 50%. Competitors who doubt their ability to complete a course within the time are advised to enter a shorter course.
1. Closing date for entries to be announced.
2.1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners from the last 3 events (other than elite and long score) are ineligible for prizes when competing in the same or lower course.
3. Automatic entry is given to winners of any course or category in the last 3 events, planners and controllers of previous OMM events and international teams and participants on OMM Training Events.
4. We receive entries in excess of the maximum places available. We therefore operate a selection draw once entry is closed.
5. Entries remaining after the maximum numbers have been reached will be held on a reserve list to be allocated places if available as accepted competitors withdraw from the event.
6. Anyone submitting more than one entry will be disqualified from the event.
7. The start list will be published on our website www.theomm.com after the entry draw. A printed event programme will be sent to all successful entrants shortly thereafter.
8. Unsuccessful teams will be advised they have not been successful, and receive a full refund of the entry fee.
9. For all cancellations received up to the closing date of August 1st a full refund is made. After that date a refund is only given (90%) if the entry can be passed onto another team. Entries cannot be deferred to future years.
ENTRY COSTS: TEAM OF 2: £110.00 (£55 per person) (inc.vat)
Entry is either online or by post.

As for geoip, I downloaded its archive, extracted, and from what I can decipher I would need to have perl to use it on my win98se computer (don't have perl). My other thought was to put it onto my host/server but I decided not to whereas from what I could tell it uses a data table that geoip has at their site. Searched an engine for "country ip", many results, most for resolving ip's but we already have whois. Found one source which looks like what I was seeking, alike that used at APNIC. Denmark site at [ip.ludost.net...] seems to have a tool "online" for searching by country, eg to find all IP's in GB, or IT, etc., various options including RIPEDB format (more "readable" for me). Also an ascii file, at top of page, called "country.db.gz" (it's a unix style compressed file, 391k; its text file is 1.8m) which lists all (or probably most) IP numbers, starting with: 0.0.0.0 22.214.171.124 - View source of that tool page, looks like a "safe" page to use. Did check for any spam complaints, for ludost.net and found at google abuse group about 88 entries so they may have newsgroups and a few problems there. Anyone else have opinions on this tool source? From what I can see I think it's safe to use as long as one doesn't get on their newsgroup lists. With both the lookup capability by country, as well as a list by number showing ranges and countries per range (example snip above) this is almost more that what I was seeking. This way, lots of bad habits for web visitors or lots of spam, say from 80.x.x.x group, at least now I can decide more easily whether to kill a small range or a larger block and know what's within it and selectively make a better educated entry with regex blocking. Would appreciate opinions. Hope this also turns out to be a good tool that others can also use for combating various abuse sources.

Always well in date, free and (almost) next day receipt. I have always had a lot of pets which are gained through abuse, neglect or just plain unwanted, so this site was a godsend as I am saving about 50% on wormer and flea treatment - I live in Greater London so EVERYTHING animal-related is overpriced!
I also use the sister site "356vet" for my POM-V medications. Even including the vet prescription fee I am still saving money. My only reservation is that you have to order from each site seperately rather than being able to add "POM-V" to a wormer or flea treatment.

Weekend heat wave forecast for California, Arizona
A potentially deadly heat wave is expected to bear down on parts of Arizona and California this weekend.
Temperatures are predicted to soar well past 110 degrees and perhaps top 120 degrees beginning on Friday in the deserts of southeast California and southern Arizona, Weather.com and the National Weather Service said.
Forecasters said highs could top 118 in Phoenix on Saturday, potentially setting a new record for that date in the Arizona capital, and increasing the risk of heat stroke and exhaustion.
"Exceedingly high temperatures can cause heat-related illness, including death," the National Weather Service said in an excessive heat warning that will be in effect between 8 a.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Sunday. The agency added that residents without air conditioning are most vulnerable during the period covered by the warning.
Authorities are also concerned about the risk to undocumented immigrants trekking through southern Arizona, where shade is scarce and temperatures are expected to reach between 115 and 121 degrees over the weekend.
"It's a very dangerous situation to have anyone out in these remote areas," Brent Cagen, a spokesman for the Tucson sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, told Reuters. "We definitely see a rise (in rescues and deaths) when it gets to be 115 or 120 degrees out in the desert," he added.
Cagen also told Reuters that Border Patrol agents, including 250 specially trained as emergency medical responders, carried out 374 rescues between Oct. 1 and May 31. Ninety-nine deaths, most from exposure, were reported during that period.

Pharoahe Monch - Clap (One Day)
Artist: Pharoahe Monch
Producer: M-Phazes
Album: W.A.R. (We Are Renegades)
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 14 total votes )
When legendary underground emcee Pharoahe Monch released War back in July, the first record we'd heard from the man in years, DJBooth Nation was overwhelmingly excited to hear new music….and then he disappeared once again. Whatever the reason for the hiatus, the important thing is that Pharoahe's back today to drop off his new single Clap. On the beat M-Phazes unleashes the kind of soul sample meets head-nodding boom-bap production that Monch has been using to unleash his verbal aggression for years. Also featuring Showtyme providing an equally soulful chorus that blends perfectly and DJ Boogie Blind providing scratches and cuts all over the place, Pharoahe lyrically covers a variety of topics, from his struggles with cops to Mumia Abu-Jamal to, well, let's just say he definitely doesn't like the police. After far too long of an absence, it looks like hip-hop will finally have one of its strongest emcees back in the game when Pharoahe's W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) drops in March. In the meantime, you know who you can count on to keep you clapping.

Snap Judgments: Our Societal Obsession With Taking Pictures
Displaying 17 of 7 comments
Callie Lindsey
Lyndsey, thanks soooo much for writing this! :) It was one of the most convicting things I've read in a long time. Praying for grace to change my self-glorifying social media habits.
Lesley Miller
Lyndsey, you raise some great questions and challenge us to think about what we post, and why we post it. Thank you for a well written, thought provoking article. This is certainly a topic our culture should be talking about!
Melissa Talbot
When I was preparing for my wedding, I spent almost all the money I had and still had to hire a photographer. I managed to find a guy who was willing to work for what little I had left. He lived on the wrong side of the tracks, but had great references. At one point, my flower girl asked him where his teeth were (lost in a motorcycle accident). Do you know he took some beautiful pictures? Seven years later I still like looking at them because of the memory they evoke (of him and my wedding). Now I photograph my family for my personal blog. I catch myself writing blog posts in my head as things are happening. But the truth is that very little in my life and pictures is represented on my blog. It only shows parts of the whole. More and more I leave the camera behind. I just want to enjoy the moment even if that means forgetting it later. I still get a twinge of, "I wish I had a picture of that!" But being in the moment is priceless.
Tim Fall
Lyndsey, nice job articulating the propensity to create idols out of our photographs and our photographed experiences. Thanks too for pointing us to the way to use those same photos and experiences as a way to focus on God. And on thesubject of vanity, I remember back in 7th grade telling a friend I was not happy with the way my school picture came out. He looked at it and said, "You look fine. What did you expect, to look like Robert Redford?" I didn't say anything out loud, but sliently wondered how he knew what I wanted! Cheers, Tim ( timfall.wordpress.com ) P.S. I don't look like Redford, but someone once told me I look like Peter Strauss. A lot more people told me I looked like John Ritter.
Caren Swanson
This is an interesting article that highlights a tension I live in every day as a photographer. People often assume that photographing a special experience somehow detracts from the experience itself, but I have found that, while perhaps true for others, the opposite is often true for me. As someone who lives with depression and ADD, being "fully present" to anything is a challenge. Taking artful photos is often a way for me to "lean in" to the moment, and find a way to engage. I certainly do agree with the article that in our over-sharing culture, vanity is a very real temptation, but I also know that as a daughter, sister and friend living far away from loved ones, sharing the simple moments of my nephews' day, or seeing the snow pile up around my parents' house, or having a glimpse into how a friend spends her day is a precious gift to me--one that makes my life infinitely richer. All told, I'm thankful for the technology that makes this possible, from smart phones to facebook!
Charles Stearns
It's easy now to take pictures and upload them. If it was more work, we as Americans wouldn't be doing it. We like easy to do things.
Not being a terribly photogenic person, I can honestly say that you won't find a whole lot of pictures of me posted anywhere. I do think that our young adults are obsessed with taking pictures of themselves. Society communicates that "looks matter". One way to validate yourself in this culture is to continually verify that you look good. Photographs are now easily digitally altered and so the "new and improved" you is what you get to portray to the world. Erase pimples, slim your waist, eliminate that double chin. The problem with that, of course, is that a genuine human being has flaws. Photoshop cannot fix our idiosyncrasies. We've become a society that values, not only beauty, but a false sense of beauty that cannot be realised in real life. We're seeking to improve upon God's design.

Making Art, Making Sense – Art exhibition by deafblind artists in Bristol
Making Art, Making Sense an exhibition of artworks by deafblind artists is taking place at the Royal West Academy in Bristol from 7th – 14th August.
Organised by Sense, the national deafblind charity, Making Art, Making Sense will showcase the work of 30 artists from across the South West region, London and Birmingham. The artists experiment with a variety of art forms including painting, sculpture, textiles, sensory photography and performance.
Steve Le Fevre, the BBC Radio Bristol presenter, who will be opening the exhibition, said: "I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the work of the deafblind artists, and hopefully raise a bit more awareness of the great support Sense gives in changing lives through the arts and creativity.
Making Art, Making Sense has been designed to be fully accessible and the venue will offer audiences the chance to physically engage with the artworks. The multi-sensory and tactile creations will invite visitors to explore art through touch and gain insight into the experiences of deafblind people, who often use touch to communicate and make sense of the world around them.
Head of Arts & Wellbeing at Sense, Nic Vogelpoel, who curated the exhibition, said: "Accessing arts and cultural experiences can be a real challenge for so many of the deafblind population. The theme of the exhibition is making art to make sense, and for many deafblind people, the process of making and sharing art is an opportunity to express emotion, dreams and imaginings in a public way and share in the cultural life of their communities."
A series of events, talks and activities will complement the exhibition and the artists will be on-site throughout the week to discuss their work, give sensory tours and run workshops.
Making art, Making Sense runs 7-14 August, Mon-Fri 10-5pm at the Royal West Academy, Queen's Road, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 1PX. Admission is free.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Gloss
Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Gloss Reviews
"Extravagant Pink" and "Mod Poppy"
These shades are so incredibly beautiful. Lauder offers this wonderful gloss in a huge range of colors, from delicate colors to rich berries. It has a luminous, mirror-like shine and is never tacky, just the perfect gloss. I'm planning to purchase several more. — 9 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Glossy, Shimmer, and Fabulous
I honestly love this lip gloss and own several. I think the fig smell and taste might be part of it. But with the gloss, you don't HAVE to put on color if you don't mind just a hint of color. I own Praline, Sugarcane, and Honey Glaze. The Honey Glaze can go over any color lipstick as it has very little nude color and Praline is a cool peachy gloss, terrific on its own. It costs more than a drugstore brand, just slightly, but I think it is worth it. — 2 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
The Best!
This is the best lip gloss I've ever had. Traditionally I'm a cheapskate and spend only a few bucks but since I had a gift certificate from totalbeauty I went for it. I got the Honey Glaze. It goes over clean lips or over lipstick for a smooth, glossy, shimmer. It is not goopy or sticky and it stays on. The smell is wonderful too. Love it! — 5 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

The second outfit created for the holiday consists of the peasant / Brigitte Bardot top gathered round neck, arms and waist and a self drafted miniskirt.
Both pieces were made from just over a meter of soft summery fabric in geometric print.
The top follows pattern 124 in Burda Style magazine 6/2011, with satin bias binding finishing. The skirt is made from the fabric remnant and started off as a rectangle.
I added lace at the top and 3-4 of of elastic using the shirring technique. It really takes less than an hour o make and there are no zips involved, the skirt can be simply slipped on, over the bikini.
A quick and easy holiday project!

Big data
Do the largest structures in the Universe actually exist?
Our knowledge of the large-scale structure of the Universe is gradually taking shape. However, our improved vision is mostly being statistically squeezed from huge data sets. Working backward from a statistical analysis to a putative fact about the (singular) Universe, to which statistics do not apply on a cosmological scale, is a dicey business. A case in point is a recent look at the biggest known structures in the Universe – large quasar groups. Read More
You probably first heard of IBM's cognitive supercomputer Watson when it bested human competitors on Jeopardy, but soon it may interact with you through the cloud. With the announcement today that Watson will be available to application developers, software can make use of Watson to add meaning to massive amounts of unstructured data, while interacting with humans in a way we understand.

Almost 47 percent of US jobs could be computerized within one or two decades according to a recent study that attempts to gauge the growing impact of computers on the job market. It isn't only manual labor jobs that could be affected: The study reveals a trend of computers taking over many cognitive tasks thanks to the availability of big data. It suggests two waves of computerization, with the first substituting computers for people in logistics, transportation, administrative and office support and the second affecting jobs depending on how well engineers crack computing problems associated with human perception, creative and social intelligence.
Read MoreData storage and preservation are no longer restricted to the needs of individual users, or even of companies or governments large and small. Instead they are the only remaining approach to preserving the history associated with the evolution of the digital age, and possibly the post-human era to follow. A research team headed by Prof. Min Gu of Swinburne University of Technology has developed a new data storage method that may be of considerable use for such civilization-sized concerns by putting a petabyte of information on a DVD-sized polymer disk.

Three years ago, Google's Eric Schmidt announced that every two days, more information is created than was the case from the dawn of humanity up to 2003. According to IMS Research, by 2020 web-connected devices will create 2.5 quintillion bytes of information every day, with 22 billion internet of things devices up-belching information to the web. To marshal all that data, IBM has come up with a platform it calls MessageSight, which will allow any one organization to pool information from up to a million sensors and devices, at a rate of 13 million messages per second.

Believe it or not, it looks like there is going to be a sofa shortage. Who could ever have seen this coming Blaine Wieland, president of Home Reserve
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita damaged chemical plants resulting in a severe shortage of foam products used in the production of furniture and bedding. Blaine Wieland, president of Home Reserve, a small furniture manufacturer based in Fort Wayne, Indiana says furniture makers from coast to coast are suffering through the most dramatic disruption in foam supplies and prices ever to hit the industry.
Wieland said, "We lost chemical ingredients suppliers, and the processing plants that make the key components of polyurethane foam had to go offline during the hurricane." Wieland also claims a finished product shortage is possible. "Believe it or not, it looks like there is going to be a sofa shortage. Who could ever have seen this coming," he said.
advertise here
Major manufacturers including La Z Boy and Serta have cited foam shortages but claim to have enough supply to meet demand (see La Z Boy story) (see Sealy story).
Wieland says when he can get foam, "they're demanding price increases of 60%."
Wieland suggests that when furniture prices rise, demand for the products will slacken.

Possible LDM Login bug
I think Iâve found a bug (might actually be a feature) in LDM. Iâve been trying to setup a new Fat Client lab, and Iâve got a ltsp-server build up and running. Authentication on the fat clients with any locally defined users is working,
and I setup CentrifyDC for domain authentication. Hereâs where it gets interesting; I can login as any domain user with a username made of letters (ex. student), but Iâm unable to login with a username made of numbers (ex. 99999999). Logging in VIA ssh directly as the number accounts works. Â* The clientâs ldm.log file didnât have any hints (x session started, followed immediately by x session ended), and the auth.log on the server just says authenticated then disconnecting. Â* The only hint I have is that when I tried to make a local account to test my theory the adduser utility wouldnât allow me to create an all number account. This made sense when I read up on why, but Iâm kind of in a bind given that every student in our organization has their student number for their username, and a wholesale change to 5000+ users isnât really in the cards. Â* Any ideas or local patches I can make to try and make this work?

User Review: Asolo Men's Fugitive GTX
Price Paid: $200
Save your money!! I must say I love the last pair of Asolos that my dog destroyed so I did some research and decided on the Fugitive.
They didn't break in like my last pair that were all leather, but that's understandable. I have worn them as much as possible around town and small treks for a solid 6 months, but never did any real hiking. I recently went camping for 5 days and only did a 2 mile hike and these things are coming apart!!!
I treat them very well and am extremely disappointed in their construction. So much that I joined this site just to let others know. The toe is peeling off and the stitching on the side is coming apart. So disappointed I will probably be finding a different favorite brand.

Moments after this he was involved in a scuffle with Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman who profiled him for walking around, looking suspicious in his neighborhood. That scuffle would lead to Zimmerman shooting Martin in the chest.

Jordan's not Taylor's only huge fan. In 2008, the Grammy-nominated singer sold more albums than any artist on the planet. Her latest CD, Fearless, was number one on the charts for more than 10 weeks. "I wake up every morning and I still can't believe this actually worked out," she says. "When I was growing up and when I was little, I never felt entitled to success. ... I just loved music, so this is the best pleasant surprise ever."
Taylor's only 19-years-old, so she knows a thing or two about being young and talented. "I think that the most important thing is to be different enough where you stand out. The only place that being like everybody else is cool is junior high," she says. "Also, be good to people—every single person that you come in contact with. My heroes are great musicians, but more than that they're great people." Meet more small wonders. Oprah presents the world's smartest kids. |

by a traveler from Travelocity.com on November 15, 2011
I made the reservations here for my boyfriend and I over our anniversary weekend, and I can honestly say I was beyond pleased. The beds are dreamy, the decor is eco-chic, and the staff was helpful if we needed anything (not that I ever ask for much.) It is centrally located, right behind the park hotel, and right across the street from a lot of shopping centers. It was a little bit noisy at night, which we heard more because there isn't an AC, (fans instead) and had our windows opened. Just ask to be placed in the inner rooms, instead of along the street where there are apartment complexes with people coming and going at all hours of the night.

Cylinder-head port design and modification has been a source of speculation for as long as there have been internal combustion engines. Because engines are power-making air pumps, airflow volume and velocity through the ports and chambers is significant to making power. But did you know there's a lot more to cylinder-head porting and power than cylinder heads themselves?
Contrary to what you might have learned in bench racing, larger port size does not always mean more power. Port shape is the key to power and when that power becomes available. Cylinder-head porting begins with the proper cylinder head, intake manifold, and carburetor. It also begins with proper header selection because what you bolt to a cylinder head becomes the strongest or weakest link in the power equation. All the gains of the port job are lost at the intake manifold or exhaust headers if we don't make the right choice.
Porting begins with the intent for the engine. What do you want your engine to do? Are you going racing? If so, what kind of racing? If you're building for the daily commute, go more for low-end torque than high-end power. Perhaps the commute will involve some weekend racing or friendly open road rivalry. That means the engine must do both effectively.
Preparation Before PortingPorting begins with the carburetor, intake manifold, and header. It must first begin with induction and exhaust because a port job is only as productive as its weakest link. Carburetor sizing and intake-manifold port matching are crucial to the success or failure of a port job.
Carburetor sizing is critical to performance with or without porting. Too much carburetor can be as bad as not enough. Below is a quick-reference formula to follow for carburetor selection. Each application may call for a little more or a little less depending on your expectations and engine modifications.
Proper carburetor sizing is only the beginning of proper porting. Intake manifold selection is the next phase. Manifold selection isn't just about single-plane versus dual-plane, it's also about port compatibility. Intake-manifold ports must match cylinder-head ports. Any size difference creates all kinds of airflow disturbance issues that adversely affect power. Manifold and cylinder-head port sizes are rarely spot on, even when made by the same manufacturer. Blindly installing an intake manifold without checking port compatibility is just plain foolish. Your engine will run and it will make power, however, it won't make as much power as it would with matched ports.
Porting TerminologyShort-side turn: The short-turn wall from the port floor to the valve seat.
Long-side turn: The path along the port roof down to the valve seat.
Port wall: The vertical sides of each port.
Inside wall: The port wall which leads to the center or inside.
Outside wall: The port wall which leads to the outside.
Short turn: A short radius turn, typically at the port bottom.
Long turn: A long radius turn, typically at the port roof.

Jesus Christ Made Seattle Under Protest
Unexpectedly, I ended up in Seattle.
My bags were packed for a nice New York City summer weekend (shorts, t-shirts, flip flops) but instead I took off for Seattle. Wrong clothes, wrong place, though last-minute travel still carries a thrill of spontaneity, even when you're flying cross-country for a funeral.
Everybody has at least one friend in Seattle. It's that kind of city where you're bound to find that personal connection. And yet I never realized so many people lived out there--enough to fill up every cubicle on every floor of every earthquake-proof skyscraper. Back on the East Coast we like to think we invented all of America's big cities, but no . . .
I come from the other Washington--DC--where it gets unbearably hot and sticky in the summer; where men sweat through three-piece suits and women wear impractical shoes; where any day you might pick up the Post and know somebody who's in it and everyday there's some kind of vigilant protest brewing on the Mall.
West coast Washington is a little less uptight but a whole lot damper. The stereotype about Seattle's drizzled, overcast skies held true for me and in spite of summer, the day's "high" was a shoulder-shaking 52 degrees. Dark, unorganized clouds greeted me in the morning and I started to understand the whole coffee thing--how this one city had unleashed Starbucks on the rest of us like a misunderstood gift of the heart.
The day after the funeral, another friend I was crashing with whipped out a yellow legal pad and began making a list of things to see and do in Seattle. Mostly, he suggested I do a lot eating. We made plans to meet up for lunch at a popular Russian café; my friend slipped me the address as we walked downtown. I had no map and no idea how I would find him.
"It's a way to remember the streets: Jesus is for Jefferson/James. Christ--Cherry and Columbia. Made--Marion/Madison . . . and so on, you'll see. It's easy--just follow the streets in that order. Be at Cherry and Third at one o'clock."
"Jesus! Christ! Made! Seattle! Under! Protest!" he shouted out each word as he spun around the corner and marched uphill. Every street in Seattle goes up or down.
I didn't expect to find him again, ever. Normally, I take pride in my sense of direction. I never get lost in new cities and if I do, I just pretend that I'm exploring. But Seattle was a little confusing for me--no matter how many American cities claim to be laid out in a grid pattern, they all have their idiosyncratic exceptions to the rules, like Germanic languages. In the other Washington, we take pride in our many exceptions to the rules--in naming streets and in running the country.
I found Pike Place Market all by myself--not so hard. I just followed the street until I could see the sea, or "the Sound" rather. The sun was thinking about maybe coming out--there was a bit of backlight that made the sky look less grey and bit more like a faded watercolor. I began to wander through the stimulus of the market, comforted by the colors or neon signs and bright vegetables. I bought English tea packed in happy little tea tins--the kind you keep even after the tea is gone. I sampled Rainier cherries and dried apples from Wenatchee. I waited alongside a pack of tourists for the handsome bearded fishmongers to fling some twelve-pound salmon through the air, shifting back and forth on my two feet and hugging myself from the cold.
When I was a teenager, Seattle was so cool--it was this whole abstract fashion concept from a faraway foreign city. Now suddenly, having finally made it to Seattle, all those grunge styles sported by midwestern mall mannequins in the 90s made perfect sense. Here I stood, in July, shivering in a T-shirt-longing for facial hair or at least a thick flannel over long underwear or a groovy knit beanie on my head.
Seattle was still cool, I realized. All the people looked so damn cool, all dressed and ready for battle. The guy selling cherries had giant black plastic horns pushed through holes in his ears and his hair cut like a vicious pixie. The bikers and skaters wore helmets with dancing flames on the sides. The girl scooping organic ice cream for tourists had a pair of matching red devil faces tattooed into her inner elbows, two evil grins flashing poisonous fangs back at me through the frosted glass. Such a pretty girl, I thought. Why devils?
And then I remembered: "Jesus Christ made Seattle under protest." The premise was ridiculous--"What does that even mean?" I wondered. God loves everyone. I mean, He did hate a few cities in the Old Testament, too, as I recall, but I've read the Bible from cover to cover and Seattle is not listed once, anywhere. Also, there are actual things that Jesus Christ did protest in real life, like common hypocrisy and the gaudy merchandising outside the temple in Jerusalem.
A city built against God's best wishes, belligerent to the core--a kind of unholy city whose streets spelled out this almost anti-Christian agenda. I wondered as I wandered back into the square-cut grid of downtown, trying to navigate myself through the streets: Jefferson, James, Cherry, Columbia, Marion, Madison, Spring, Seneca, University, Union, Pike, Pine. Jesus Christ Made Seattle Under Protest. I kept walking south, ticking backwards through my friend's mnemonic device: Pike--Protest . . . Under . . . Seattle . . . Made . . . checking each street sign until finally I came to "C", Christ--Columbia--Another block and there it was, Cherry Street, and there was my friend and a window filled with hot piroshky.
That same afternoon I napped on a bench near the waterfront and when I woke up, there was sunshine-not warmth, but light, yes. Seattle is like so many northern places--one may moan about the lousy weather, but if and when the sun does shine, it's simply glorious. Suddenly there were pretty pine trees everywhere, quiet silver waves slapping the shores of the Puget Sound, and snowy pyramid mountains in the background. If God ever did protest Seattle, it's only because the city occupies some pretty divine real estate.
Not that God could actually have anything against Seattle. Some of His best friends live in Seattle, I thought, just like me. My friend's funeral was still fresh in my mind, as were the lyrics of Nirvana's song "Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle"--the song whose chorus moans, "I miss the comfort of being sad." It's a backhanded slogan for the city that gave us grunge and caffeine addictions but also a common feeling among all travelers.
As I travel here, there, and everywhere in the world, I still wonder: Are sad places just sad on their own or do we make them sad by arriving with our own carry-on sadness? Do we ever let the destination just be the destination or do we turn to our own ideas about what it should be, based on a lifetime of prejudice and teenage notions?
My own teenage notion was to go visit Kurt Cobain's house on Lake Washington--the one the rock star died in. It's become a sort of insider's drive-by tourist attraction that overlooks beautiful Lake Washington. "It's a nice drive," my friend kept reassuring me, promising to take me. But then we never went: too little time, too many other things to do. After 36 hours in the Emerald City, I found myself waiting in line at Sea-Tac, boarding a red-eye home, neck pillow in hand.
Perhaps Seattle was better that way. Yeah, I liked Kurt Cobain like everybody else but I was still unsure about seeing that pretty place where the icon had died--I was still coping with the pretty city where my friend had lived. And that was enough.

I'm building a new mobile game. Imagine sitting in an airport, for example, and being able to join a First Person Shooter Game where all of your opponents are in the same airport – they could be other travellers, airport staff, pilots – anyone. But here is the main feature of this game: The virtual location you see in the game IS the airport and it is created using all relevant data (floorplans of the airport, wayfinding apps, and apps on your phone that are able to map rooms, measure direction, etc.). The game environment in which you travel seeking your opponents is generated using data being generated by their devices as well – sort of a micro crowd sourced battlefield with some help from publicly available data.
My Software Startup is Starting Up
Shortly after I posted this I came across an interesting post on Hacker News by mmieszek: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6320150
Marcin (who lives in Warsaw, Poland) has agreed to work on an MVP of my as yet unnamed Geo-Photo-Stream application for which I am very grateful and excited!
More updates will be forthcoming in the near future. In the meantime if you would like to posit possible names for the app, please do so. If I choose your name I'll send you a t-shirt (in your size!) with some of my art on it.

Bronx >
Optical Goods > Cohen's Fashion OpticalNeighborhoods: Norwood, West Bronx
Terrible customer service--AVOID THE HASSLE!!! – Save yourself the hassle. Don't go here. There are lots of other places that can better meet your needs. I bought a pair of eyeglasses from this Cohen's in late January, 2008. By summer, the silver plate was quickly wearing off. By early November, the frames broke while I was cleaning the lens. They post their hours as being open until 7:00, and I was even told on the phone that they were open until 7:00, but when I arrived at 6:45 (after leaving my office in upper Manhattan to go to Queens to pick up my daughter and then get back to The Bronx), the door was locked. There were two employees still in there, and one came to the door. He opened it and said, "We're closed." I pointed out that it wasn't 7:00 and he said that the doctor had left. I told him that I had bought the glasses in January and that they had broken. All I wanted to do was leave them to have the frames repaired or replaced. He told me that I would have to come back the next day. When I told him the effort I had taken to get there that night, he said, "We're open 7 days a week." First, why are eyeglass frames falling apart in just over 9 months of routine wear? Second, why the HASSLE? If you say you're open until 7:00, wait on customers until 7:00. If you need to close earlier, change your posted hours. This place is a huge rip-off, and they have seen the last dime they'll get from me. Protect yourself from a bad product, bad attitude, and terrible customer service. Go somewhere else!
Great Customer Service – Great service, great products, it was a very good experience. I got my lenses replaced there in the same day, it was a good deal and I can see again.
Got some great glasses and colored Contacts! – My girlfriends and I were walking around shopping and we came across this store. I needed new colored contacts and a new pair of eyeglasses, the associates helped me out with both, since I didn't need an eye exam they helped me by showing me any frame I asked for and when it came down to the colored contacts they had a great selection, they even had the color and brand I normally use at a lower price! So when I left I had new colored contacts and sunglasses! I was happy with the service and selection, not to mention the price!
