Re: Hacking Penguin Pile-Up: World Domination in Miniature
Having just spent the last (in addition to many other) rainly weekends playing this game I have got to let you know that should you purchase this game you will become addicted to it. My son, brother and I have even once managed to get all 24 tuxes balanced. I'd post the victory picture if I had a scanner. I was glad to see it's still for sale- just bought two copies for the cousin's this coming Christmas.
Re: Hacking Penguin Pile-Up: World Domination in Miniature
1) The Subversion of Microsoft Youth
2) A moment before the mission.
3) The Innocence Campaign
4) "You can see by this example, the potential growth Linux could have if each of us made it a point to teach two people how to use it..."
5) "We shall be victorious."
6) "Okay guys, we're going to pretend I'm an NT administrator and I want you all to attack me..."
7) "It is not that you are weak and I am strong, it is that I use Linux and you people are relying on something else entirely!"
8) "You all have done very well at using Linux, now it is time to get to know your enemy..."
9) "Everyone, pretend you're a windows XP box!"
10) "While you're down there, I want you to realize that this is no place for a penguin to be. Broken windows fall to the floor, but penguins can not be broken."
11) "When you look into the eyes of your fellow penguins, you see no PDC's or BDC's, but all may serve and be served."
12) "I thought I smelled an NTFS volume."
13) "Bring your windows into this community will you?"
14) "And this is why we practice redundancy."
Re: Hacking Penguin Pile-Up: World Domination in Miniature
1. Once upon a time there was a game involving penguins.
2. For a while the penguins were happy on their iceberg.
3. But after falling over once too often
4. They ganged up together
5. And got a bit mean.
6. One penguin, however didn't agree with this new policy
7. and all his friends
8. dragged him to the Penguin Council
9. But he had really bad breath
10. after all, he had been eating fish :p
11. Once the council revived, though
12. They dragged him off to his doom,
13. but he was too heavy, and they dropped him,
14. and so he breathed his last (halitosis) breath
Re: Hacking Penguin Pile-Up: World Domination in Miniature
2) "Ok... this is getting old fast guys."
3) "No, really, I'm tellin ya, they wore sparkling bathing suits & got paid for swimming like this!"
4) "Hey... you guys hear something rollng this way?"
6) "Um.. Windows, why? What do you guys use?"
7) "What? Like you guys never clicked on an attachment before."
8) "Ok... new rule, the the names of fish are not allowed passwords."
9/10) "D**m... It's good to be sysadmin."
11) "Suse!" "Debian!" "Suse!" "Debian!" "Suse!" "Debian!" "Suse!" "Debian!" ....
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Fifth of mobile phone users surveyed pay more for their carrier service than groceries
--Nearly Half Pay $100 or More Per Month; 13 Percent Pay $200 or More Per Month--
WHITING, Ind., Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As many new versions of smartphones hit the market this fall, a new survey from CouponCabin.com takes a look at the high costs of being connected. Nearly half (46 percent) of mobile phone owners surveyed pay $100 or more per month for their mobile phone service. More than one-in-ten (13 percent) pay $200 or more per month. This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of CouponCabin from September 4th – 6th, 2012 among 2,310 U.S. adults ages 18 and older.
For some U.S. adults with mobile phones, the costs of their service plans are higher than many other household expenses. More than one-in-five (21 percent) of mobile phone owners said they pay more for their mobile phone service plan in a typical month than they do for groceries. When asked which other typical expenses they spend less on their mobile phone service, U.S. mobile phone owners said the following:
- Basic utilities like water, gas and electric – 33 percent
- Cable TV – 57 percent
- Internet service – 71 percent
"Mobile phones are ingrained in our everyday lives, but their high costs can do damage to a monthly budget," said Jackie Warrick, President and Chief Savings Officer at CouponCabin.com. "Many mobile phone owners are now revisiting their plans and looking at ways to cut back."
Taking the group approach is a popular option. Nearly six-in-ten (58 percent) of mobile phone users currently have a family/friend plan with their service provider. U.S. adults ages 35-44 are the most likely to have a family/friend plan as 64 percent report having one, compared to 59 percent of 18-34 year olds, and 59 percent of 45-54 year olds.
Others may stick to communicating the old-fashioned way. In fact, 63 percent of U.S. adults said they currently have a traditional, landline phone. That number was much lower for younger Americans, as only 39 percent of those ages 18-34 said they currently have a landline phone.
Whether it means joining a group plan or keeping a landline phone, there are a variety of strategies to help save on your monthly mobile phone bill. Warrick offers the following advice:
- Do a usage audit: In just a few clicks or a quick call, you can figure out your average monthly voice and data usage. If you're paying for a much higher plan than you use on average, consider cutting back.
- Cut your insurance: If you opt-in for a mobile phone insurance plan, you may be paying high monthly fees along with hefty deductible. Do the math and eliminate your plan if you aren't coming out ahead in the long run.
- Change your habits: If you have free nights and weekends for your voice service, do what you can to only talk during those periods. If you have a limited texting plan, send more emails. Adjust your usage and stay within your limits.

Real reason?
The 18 year old CHILDREN of 2012 live with their Mommy, so she pays for groceries. She probably bought the phone and pays for that service too. Sigh.
Let's check it. Spend $10 a day on breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, cleaning supplies, and cosmetics. TEN BUCKS A DAY! Good luck with that. Ten a day, 30 days in a month, $300. If you tell me anyone has a single phone plan over $300 a month I will call BS.
Only people who don't pay for groceries would take these "results" as credible. If you are 25 and your cell is the only bill you pay with your $9 an hr job, then your answer is meaningless.

i work for a phone company and trust me i see bills over $300 month...the higherst i've ever seen was over $1200 but that was due to overages so maybe that doesnt count?

well its probably better then your $7/hour job!

People should switch to Virgin Mobile. $35/mth unlimited everything. Why pay $100-$120/mth with ATT with all sort of restrictions?
16. items17070 (Posts: 70; Member since: 20 Dec 2011)
STUPID PEOPLE do that, ! hahahhaa
9. papss (unregistered)
Because Virgin mobil sucks.. sorry but they dont get the phones that i want to buy and when they do get phones its late.
10. downphoenix (Posts: 2416; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
Well if you have to be prissy and get the OMG Galaxy S3 right away, then yea, they get good phones late. Still, they got the Evo 3D, which is a pretty powerful android phone, and the Iphone 4S for Apple lovers, same Iphone the other carriers get but with a much lower bill.
13. papss (unregistered)
Yes I do need the latest phones and no the evo 3d wasn't and isn't a good phone.. I love HTC but it was a dud
15. items17070 (Posts: 70; Member since: 20 Dec 2011)
yeah, your the 'MUST HAVE' IDIOT who will have to work til you DROP DEAP! BECAUSE YOU MUST HAVE! :-)
11. downphoenix (Posts: 2416; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
Anyway, this article just goes to show that Cell Phone service is TOO expensive here in the US. Its more expensive here than anywhere else in the civilized world. We may gawk at Europeans paying $700+ on a good smartphone over there, but they also pay like 1/3rd of the bill we did usually

MWL: Kernels rattle off 19 hits in win over Wisconsin
CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA -- The Cedar Rapids Kernels offense scored in six of eight innings on the way to a 15-5 victory over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Tuesday night. Every Kernel in the batting order recorded at least one hit with the team hammering a season-high 19 hits on the evening.
J.D. Williams reached the bases in all five trips to the box by going 4-for-4 with four runs scored along with one walk. Ryan Walker had four RBI's on two hits while five other teammates collected one run-batted-in. Brandon Bixler picked up his fifth victory of the season while the entire pitching staff for Cedar Rapids recorded 11 strikeouts while holding Wisconsin's bats to just six hits.
For the third time in the past four games the Kernels got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first. Bryan Haar collected a two-out RBI-single that drove in Ryan Walker for the early 1-0 advantage.
Wisconsin answered with a two-run homerun off the bat of Jacob Brennan in the top of the second to take the lead 2-1.
].D. Williams powered the Kernels back in front 3-2 in the bottom of the second with his first homerun of the year. The blast over right field drove in Jason Kanzler who led off the inning with a double.
Jose Pena tied the game at 3-3 in the top of the fourth when his double-play groundball scored Brennan for the second time in the contest.
Tristan Archer (3-4) departed for the Rattlers with men on the bases in the fourth. Archer allowed seven runs on ten hits during 3 2/3 innings on the mound. The starter allowed one walk and struck out four in the losing effort.
Chris Razo entered in relief midway through the bottom of the fourth. The Wisconsin reliever surrendered three runs on three hits over the span of 1 1/3 frames. Razo walked one and fanned four during his relief outing.
The Kernels bats came alive in the fourth for four runs and five total hits. Williams began the scoring off a one-out double by Jon Murphy. Ryan Walker knocked in Tanner Vavra in the next at-bat with a sacrifice fly to center to make it a 5-3 lead.
Cedar Rapids rallied for two more runs in the fourth on two outs to go up 7-3. Chad Christensen singled in Murphy and later scored on Mitch Garver's double down the left field line.
Lewis Thorpe compiled three runs allowed on two total hits during his four-inning outing. Thorpe sent down five batters on strikes and walked three in his sixth start of the season.
Brandon Bixler (5-4) took the mound to open the fifth for the Kernels. Bixler finished after two innings and allowed one run on two hits while striking out two in the winning effort.
Michael Ratterree cut into the Kernels lead 7-4 in the fifth with an RBI-single to center that brought Omar Garcia to the plate.
Zach Quintana began the fifth out of the pen for Wisconsin and allowed five runs on six hits over three innings in relief. Quintana walked five and struck out one in the appearance.
The Kernels offense didn't slow down in the fifth with three additional runs on three hits to make it a 10-4 lead. Alex Swim led-off the inning with a single into left and was brought in on an errant throw to first on a Tanner Vavra bunt-single in the infield. Williams walked to join Vavra on the paths and Walker cleared the bases with a two-out double into centerfield.
Cedar Rapids plated two more in the sixth to push the edge to 12-4. On the same play, Williams drove in Haar on a RBI-single to center on a ball that was mishandled in the outfield. The fourth Wisconsin error allowed Swim to come across the plate.
Nick Burdi came out of the bullpen to start the seventh and struck out the side in his lone, scoreless frame.
The Kernels sent Jake Reed to the hill in the eighth to make his debut for Cedar Rapids. Reed gave up one unearned run on one hit along with one strikeout during his Midwest League debut.
Brennan recorded his third run-batted-in during the eighth for Wisconsin on a single to left field. Clint Coulter scored on the play to make to score 12-5.
Cedar Rapids made it a double-digit lead in the eighth by plating three runs in eighth. Williams recorded his fourth RBI of the night on a double to center field that brought in Swim. Kanzler was brought in on a Vavra RBI-single into right field and Williams scored the final run on a Ryan Walker sacrifice fly to deep left to bring the score to 15-5.
Hudson Boyd closed out the ninth for the Kernels and allowed no hits, run or base runners during his lone inning of work.
The Kernels continue the series with Wisconsin on Wednesday evening at 6:35 p.m. It's another Free Money Wednesday, sponsored by First Federal Credit Union. $500 will be given away at the main gates at every Wednesday home game with $100 as the top cash prize. It's also Hall of Fame Night where the Kernels will recognize members of the 2014 Cedar Rapids Baseball Hall of Fame (Mike Trout, Chris Sabo, Verna Nance, Tom Barbee and Ron Gonder) on the field before the game.
RHP Ryan Eades (5-8, 6.37) will take the mound for Cedar Rapids and square off against LHP Clint Terry (1-2, 3.77).

Design brief
We are real estate investors....We buy and sell houses nationwide. The word "MIBAYT"...comes from the Arabic word for "My House"
Real Estate & Mortgage
None specified
All Letters in the name MIBAYT need to be capitalized, but used in a font in which the MIB don't blend too much together. Also because the word MIBAYT is quite ambiguous the logo should convey some idea about real estate. The pictures are just to start the creative juices flowing. I am open to any abstract or unique logo.
There should also be a slogan attached "foundations are built on integrity"

In May 2000, the New York Times reported the upcoming demolition of the Crenshaw District's Holiday Bowl. Built by Japanese American investors in 1958, just as Crenshaw and neighboring Leimart Park were reemerging as one of the city's most diverse neighborhoods, the bowling alley served as an integrated leisure space where African, Mexican, and Asian Americans could interact. "It's like a United Nations in there,'' longtime employee Jacqueline Sowell told writer Don Terry. ''Our employees are Hispanic, white, black, Japanese, Thai, Filipino. I've served grits to as many Japanese customers as I do black. We've learned from each other and given to each other. It's much more than just a bowling … [Read more...]

"These people worked on the railroad, they saved their money, they put up a resort, and they lost everything," lamented Bernard Bruce in 2007. "How would you feel if your family owned the Waldorf and they took it away from you." Bruce, the grandson of former beach resort proprietors Charles and Willa Bruce, spoke to the Los Angeles Times after a contested Manhattan Beach city council vote of 3-2 confirmed the city's official commemoration of his parents' beach resort as a historic landmark. "There's a kind of tension," longtime resident and local historian Robert L. Brigham added, "between people who are very conscious of the history of Bruce's and those who would rather forget about the … [Read more...]
1181 Durfee Avenue: 1983 to 1986
Between the fourth and sixth grades, you are seized by three deep and compulsive obsessions: Marvel comic books (all things Daredevil and X-Men and Spiderman). BMX bicycles (yours: a second-hand Mongoose, unwieldy and spray-painted black after you stripped the frame down to its bare chrome-moly tubing). And video games. Your parents find all three activities doubtful. Comic books are allowed since they get you reading something else besides MAD magazine and therefore seem remotely educational. And when you're on your bicycle, you're out of the house, out of your parents' way, and doing something sort of athletic, even if the extent of this athletic activity is you and … [Read more...]

Ultimately, we hope this will produce a better sense of place.

Dog Days Classics: Lanny Budd, Upton Sinclair's Ideal Idler
"It was profoundly true that movements of the spirit came first, and that events of history were consequences thereof." -Upton Sinclair, Wide is the Gate Several years ago I was directed toward Upton Sinclair's socialist-minded quasi-spy novels about a young man named Lanning Prescott Budd. The 11 books span the breadth of time from the onset of The Great War to the rise of the Cold War, but as I have been able to acquire only the first half of the series, my investigation has followed Lanny only so far as the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. A New York Times reflection on the books gives a decent introduction to the protagonist: Born in 1900, he was the illegitimate child of an … [Read more...]
The Food Truck Conundrum: Urban Politics and Mobile Eats
When local DC cultural website DCist tweeted a celebratory announcement of the arrival of Chic-fil-A's new roaming food truck in the nation's capital, one might have thought the tweet rather ho-hum. At most, cries of corporate infringement on a burgeoning subculture might have been expected to ring out. However, within minutes several prominent DC restaurant proprietors responded with harsh admonishments, but not about aesthetics or subcultures. Perhaps most notably, Dean Gold owner of Cleveland Park's popular Dino restaurant, rebuked DCist for publicizing the food truck of a company known to support anti-gay causes and legislation tweeting: ChickFilA_Fuckers hate gays and we need to care? … [Read more...]
Pedaling Your Politics: The Variable Meanings of Critical Mass
Over the past two decades, the prevalence of biking in our nation's cities has increased rapidly. Never mind unique creations like Portland, Oregon, today, places as diverse as New York, Chicago, San Diego, Seattle, and Austin have vibrant cycling cultures. In San Diego, a Saturday night without a fixie would be like Sunday morning without Mass (for those of us influenced by popery). The same could be said for Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Silver Lake, CA and elsewhere. This increase in bike culture stems from several forces. Environmental concerns, energy issues, aesthetics, and the appropriation of subcultures (after all it would be impossible to say that aspects of hipster aesthetics weren't … [Read more...]

West Seattle holiday scene: Happy anniversary, HomeStreet BankDecember 12, 2014 at 5:56 pm | In Holidays, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
HomeStreet Bank is celebrating its 1st anniversary at 40th/Alaska in The Junction, and Santa was the star of the party (pictured above, manager Melodie Van Houten with "Santa Al"). They're just wrapping up three hours of free photos, photographed by longtime local pro Gail Ann. A decoration on the tree caught our attention:
We're told that little Seahawks "piggy bank" is available if you stop by and show a ticket to a Seahawks home game – if you hadn't already figured out from Melodie's jersey (it is "Blue Friday," after all), the 'Hawks are big at HomeStreet – you can also get team-themed checks and cards.
P.S. Next place to see "Santa Al" – JF Henry Cooking & Dining (4445 California SW; WSB sponsor) 10 am-1 pm tomorrow (Saturday, December 13th), bring your own camera, or $5 without one.
Alki Surf Shop: Aloha, new West Seattle Blog sponsor!December 4, 2014 at 2:56 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 44 Comments
Just in time for your local holiday shopping, we're welcoming Alki Surf Shop to the WSB sponsor team. Here's what they'd like you to know:
Ever since Alki Surf Shop opened, people have been asking, "What's a surf shop doing at Alki Beach?" The standard answer is, "No waves, no worries."* But there's more to the story than that.
The owners, Kahuna Dave and Terri Nakamura, are both from Seattle. Terri grew up on Beacon Hill and Dave claims to hail from "the ancient Hawaiian kingdom of Burien." Longtime veterans of the Seattle graphic design and advertising industry, they wanted to use their skills to launch a local business of their own – something fun. And what could be more fun than a surf shop, right in the heart of Seattle's favorite beach?
"Alki Surf Shop is a dream come true for us," Terri says. "We've been able to create a unique, inviting experience to add to the Alki Beach neighborhood in West Seattle. People come in and say, 'Wow, what a cute shop. How long have you been open?'"
The shop features their exclusive Genuine Alki brand tops, designed and produced in Seattle. A great selection of Alki gifts, including mugs, shot glasses, totes, cards, and wall art. Beach essentials, such as sunglasses, volleyballs and kites. Plus jewelry and cool new gifts for the holidays.
Kahuna Dave also wrote "The Alki Beach Song" and produced a short music video to go with it, which can be seen on YouTube:
It's all part of the fun at one of West Seattle's newest businesses, located at 2622 Alki Avenue SW (between Homefront Smoothies and Alki Beach Miniatures.) If you hear the sound of someone blowing a conch shell, you know you're getting close. At the Alki Surf Shop, that's how they say mahalo!
Alki Surf Shop can be found at alkisurfshop.com and on Facebook at facebook.com/alkisurfshop. Or join them for a holiday Tweetup by following them at twitter.com/alkisurfshop.

Holiday biznote: West Seattle Fabric Company adds 'gifts and goods,' explaining 'not everybody sews'November 30, 2014 at 1:57 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
(WSB photo by Patrick Sand)
We hope you're finding a multitude of reasons to shop at your local independent small businesses this holiday season (as well as the rest of the year!). Continuing our spotlight on many of those reasons, we stopped by West Seattle Fabric Company (in The Admiral District at 2210 California SW) this weekend after proprietor Monica Skov sent word that she's added giftable merchandise "because not everybody sews" (you'll see that on the sidewalk sign outside). The items she's posing with are among the added lines – we found the beach-walking exhortation especially appropriate because we stopped in just after revisiting those wild waves at Alki. WSFC is open until 4 today, and expects to add more non-sewing "gifts and goods" in the days ahead, including West Seattle-themed merchandise.
P.S. Watch our West Seattle Holiday Guide for an ongoing list of shopping notes and highlights (including some local businesses' online deals, too) as well as for the list of open houses still to come (if yours isn't listed yet, send us info, plain-text e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com).

Proprietor Frank Gross shared the photo taken in the shop this morning and says they're celebrating by offering you 15 percent off and (if needed) free shipping today and tomorrow. The shop's open until 6 pm tonight, 10 am-6 pm Saturday.
P.S. We've been collecting shopping info for local stores – TRG and others – in the WSB West Seattle Holiday Guide – just scroll until you see it!
Happening now: JF Henry Cooking & Dining open houseNovember 23, 2014 at 12:42 pm | In Holidays, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | Comments Off
How about a miniature Alki Point Lighthouse or Space Needle for an ornament and/or wine-bottle tag, cut from remnant slate/soapstone? They're custom-made for JF Henry Cooking and Dining (WSB sponsor) in The Junction, and among the items you can browse/buy while visiting the Holiday Open House, continuing until 5 pm today. The Christmas-tree train is in the window again this year:
More ornaments nearby, including one that reminded us of an ongoing topic of local coverage:
Upstairs in the store (4445 California SW), don't miss the complimentary Open House cookie bar:
And if you're not ready to buy gifts yet … maybe something extra-festive for your Thanksgiving cooking:
We asked proprietor Tom Henry what else is hot this year – he mentioned Kyocera's new non-toxic (ceramic) non-stick cooking line, among other things. More open-house info here (including the fermentation demo coming up at 3 pm).
Update: Power outage at Westwood VillageNovember 20, 2014 at 12:31 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, Westwood | Comments Off
12:31 PM: Thanks to Deb and Melissa for the notes about this. A power outage is affecting some of the stores at Westwood Village. Melissa says it's in the center of the mall, including Barnes and Noble, which is closed for the day since repairs are not estimated to be complete until after 4 pm. Again, this has not closed ALL the WWV stores, but if you're headed that way in the next few hours, you might check first if your destination is open or closed.
4:15 PM: The outage is no longer on the City Light map, which indicates it's fixed.
West Seattle biznotes: Reasons to visit Morgan Junction tonightNovember 20, 2014 at 11:18 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
Also happening tonight – all within a few blocks of California SW in Morgan Junction:
TRY GLUTEN-FREE FRIED CHICKEN: From proprietor Bruce @ Harry's Chicken Joint (WSB sponsor):
We are introducing a new product, *fried chicken without breading* for those who prefer a gluten-free option. Chickens will be available in whole ($24/12 pc) or half ($13/6pc) and are smoked and then fried in our cast-iron skillets. This is a delicious alternative.
We are inviting folks to come to the Beveridge Place Pub (6413 California SW) tonight at 6:00 for free samples. Call Harry's at 206-938-9000 for more details.
'LADIES' NIGHT' WITH PIZZA: Three other Morgan Junction businesses are teaming up for a Ladies' Night extended-hours shopping event tonight, 6-9 pm. One is Peel and Press (6503 California SW), which is providing pizza and appetizers at the other two, Second Gear Sports (6529 California SW) and My Three Little Birds (6959 California SW), both of which are featuring "new items for the holidays and, of course, high quality, gently used resale/consigned goods" with giveaways and discounts.
Emerald Water Anglers: Welcome, new West Seattle Blog sponsorNovember 18, 2014 at 3:33 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 12 Comments
Emerald Water Anglers is about a lot more than fishing. The new West Seattle Junction shop has just joined the WSB sponsor team, which means EWA gets a chance to tell you what it's about:
(L-R, Reid, Jon, Dave in the Emerald Water Anglers shop)
Proprietor Dave McCoy's company has been in business a long time – and now it's taken the next step, a retail storefront. His emphasis is on having a high-quality sporting-goods store in and for West Seattle, there to help you experience the outdoors in any way you choose. Along with fishing gear, you'll find hiking gear, ski wear, and lots of merchandise from Patagonia.
Fly fishing, though, is how Emerald Water Anglers gained its fame, and the shop offers fly-fishing classes, with a particularly popular class geared toward women. You can also check into one- or two-day immersion classes taught up in Snoqualmie, and you can even learn to fly-fish from a paddleboard. This winter, fly-tying classes will be offered (check in at the store and/or online for dates/times and availability).
Emerald Water Anglers offers a busy slate of other events, and next month will include two of special note – Patagonia ambassadors will be there on December 10th to talk about winter wear (watch the EWA website for how to RSVP) and Santa Claus will be there December 20th for DIY photos.
Dave says a shop in West Seattle makes perfect sense for a variety of reasons – most of his staff also lives here, and the neighborhood is full of water and green spaces, a perfect fit for everyone who loves the outdoors and wants to take care of it as well as enjoy it. Speaking of sustainability, Dave's also proud of having one of the first all-LED-lit businesses in the city.
You can also find out about Emerald Water Anglers' guide services at the shop, which is on the southeast corner of 42nd and Oregon, on the ground floor of Oregon 42, and online at emeraldwateranglers.com – by phone, 206-708-7250.

The Westy's opening date: New West Seattle sports bar to open the day before ThanksgivingNovember 16, 2014 at 2:34 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 50 Comments
Story by Tracy Record
Photos by Patrick Sand
West Seattle Blog co-publishers
With multiple football games on screens in the background, co-proprietors of The Westy shared the news they wish they could have shared many months ago: Their official opening date.
It'll be Wednesday, November 26th, JP Vidican and Paul Ritums (L-R above) told WSB today. That's when The Westy will finally open its doors at 7908 35th SW, a new establishment that looks nothing like what you'd imagine – in either space or decor – from passing by on the street, where you'd mistake it for a relatively tiny storefront (recent former identities included an electronics-repair shop and medical-marijuana dispensary).
November was the hoped-for opening month when we first talked with them in summer 2013 – November **2013**. Permit and utility challenges stretched out the buildout, like the final minutes of a sports match with seemingly endless timeouts.
Now they're ready for kickoff, and hoping you'll decide The Westy was worth the wait. We took a look inside this afternoon, noting details from the handcrafted wooden tables to small-but-vital touches like purse hooks and power outlets under the bar with USB slots where you can charge your phone:
Of course we talked sports, food, and beverages too:

Alki X Gym: Welcoming a new West Seattle Blog sponsorNovember 12, 2014 at 2:28 pm | In Health, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
We're welcoming one of our newest WSB sponsors today – Alki X Gym, which calls itself an "Anti-Gym" – this video explains why:
Here's what else Alki X Gym wants you to know:
We are a small "boutique" style training center that never gets overcrowded. In fact, we limit the gym to no more than 3 clients at a time, each with their own trainer for the one-on-one sessions. We also limit the group sessions to 7 people or less and at those times, there are no one-on one clients in the club. Our clients also feel the non-judgmental environment we foster. Everyone is loved, accepted, and coached on their own unique journey according to their own individual goals and needs.
(WSB photo: X Gym's PJ Glassey)
Our exercise methods are completely unique and designed by us to be the safest way to exercise. These methods also produce the best results in the least amount of time. In only 21 minutes, twice a week, our clients receive about twice the results of traditional training in less than 1/4 the time required. We are also about 1/2 the investment of traditional personal training and now offer group training classes at less than 1/2 the investment of our already low one-on-one rate!
The comment we hear most often from X Gym clients is how fast they feel the strength results. Soon after that, they comment how much more endurance they have and how that allows them to do things they haven't been able to do for years. The third comment we get is how fast they feel their muscles toning up, getting firmer and more defined. The main thing that keeps them coming back is the results gained to the time invested. After all, we only offer month-to-month memberships, so if it wasn't working for them, they wouldn't be coming back. Their lives have changed because their quality of life has increased. Their physical abilities improve of course, but their mind also gets stronger as their mental envelope is stretched from how our program is designed. Our clients literally feel like they are aging in reverse as they feel younger and more vital, both inside and out.
Alki X-Gym is at 3213 Harbor Avenue SW; call 206-938-XGYM (9496).

West Seattle beach businesses: Bamboo, Alki Beach Dog closingNovember 12, 2014 at 12:22 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 32 Comments
Two businesses on Alki have announced they're closing:
BAMBOO BAR AND GRILL: Thanks to Mike for sending that photo of the board posted outside Bamboo (2806 Alki SW), saying the restaurant/bar is closing permanently as of November 22nd. Earlier this year, it was listed for sale; the listing is now inactive, so we don't know if the business was sold or just taken off the market. We're trying to reach Bamboo, but it wasn't open yet for the day when we went by in late morning, and the phone is currently being answered by a fax tone. Though Bamboo was long notorious as a trouble spot, that peaked (more, like bottomed out) in 2012, and changes were made following a shooting. More recently, the owner had merged Amante Pizza into the operation last spring when Amante lost its California SW location because of development. (P.S. We'll update the story whenever we find out more about the closure and what might follow it.)
(added 2:15 pm) WSB co-publisher Patrick Sand just talked in person with a manager at Bamboo who confirms what has been brought up in comments: It's closing, but a new sports bar will open in its place, after renovations. They're not committing to a timeline because they don't know how long that will take.
(back to original report) ALKI BEACH DOG: This shop's location at 59th/Alki also is in the path of development, but that's not why it's closing.
As announced on that sign outside the shop, its owner, Debra Brown, has died. Groomer Amanda Regan is overseeing the shop during its closeout sale through Friday; people who contacted us about the closure said they appreciate her talents and hope she stays local, but she just told us by phone she doesn't know yet where she will wind up. She's going to take the holidays off, for starters.
Camp Crockett dog day camp: Welcome, new WSB sponsor!November 6, 2014 at 12:36 pm | In Pets, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 6 Comments
Just opened in West Seattle – Camp Crockett! As a new, local WSB sponsor, they get this chance to let you know what they're all about:

Family owned and operated, we would like to bring the delight of "going to camp" to you and your furry family member with our 'camp themed' dog day camp.
With more than 30 years of experience in the dog-day-care field, our team is very passionate about giving your pup a very fun and loving environment while you are away. Our 6,000-square-foot camp yard provides plenty of room to help even the highest spirited of pups to unwind and meet new friends. Some of our campers are older or more sophisticated and prefer the comforts of our indoor space with lots of cubby holes and plush beds. Camp Crockett also provides an 'at home' feel for our overnight campers. Instead of spending the evening in a kennel, your pup will enjoy snuggling on the couch with our team leaders who live on site.
For those campers who are having a bad hair day or just love getting dirty, don't worry, we will take care of you too. Camp Crockett is privileged to have the best groomer in Seattle on our team! Our groomer takes the time to get to know your pup, gives your pup time to get to know her, and then works with your pup at a comfortable pace to be able to give you the result you desire.

West Seattle Runner moving to new, larger space in AdmiralNovember 4, 2014 at 12:37 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, WS & Sports | 11 Comments
When someone asked recently about that "LEASED" sign on the years-empty ground floor space at the Orion Building at 2743 California SW, adjacent to PCC (WSB sponsor), we didn't have an answer – but today, we do. Broker Blake Taylor from West Coast Commercial Realty e-mailed to announce that West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) is moving into the space, and we have confirmed it with proprietors Lori and Tim McConnell.
WS Runner has been located on the second floor of Charlestown Center since opening in spring 2010; now they'll be at street level, with more room – ~2,200 square feet, about a third bigger than their current shop. Tim told us this morning that the layout also will be an upgrade – one big rectangular space, instead of one with a few too many corners. The McConnells hope to move into the new space, about two-thirds of a mile north, in January. (The back of the space will be leased, broker Taylor says – synergistically! – for an expansion location of Elite Sports and Spine.)
P.S. West Seattle Runner will continue offering a slate of in-store events and clinics, according to the McConnells, and have some coming up in their current space: $10 discount on registration for the Seattle Half/Full Marathon during an info/signup event 6-8 pm next Tuesday, November 11th; Goretex waterproof running-shoe tryout during the 6:30 pm November 19th group run (walkers welcome too); Team In Training-hosted Turkey Trot group run/walk on Alki on Thanksgiving morning (meet by Tully's at 8 am), November 27th, free (food donation requested).
4 West Seattle biznotes, from Harbor Ave to WestwoodNovember 3, 2014 at 4:22 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 7 Comments
Four biznotes with an opening, two (temporary) closures, and an update:
'THE GENERAL STORE' OPENING: This Saturday (November 8th), The General Store-Seattle is opening at ActivSpace (3400 Harbor Ave. SW), with shop hours starting at 10 am and a party at 6 pm. It's an online AND bricks/mortar endeavor focused on selling local products; its website has a sampling, including food and body-care items.
BAKERY NOUVEAU CLOSED FOR 2 DAYS: A texter thought you might want to know that the legendary Junction bakery is closed until Wednesday. Its Facebook page says BN is doing some maintenance before the busy holiday season fully ramps up. Its Capitol Hill location remains open.
SEASONAL CLOSURE AT TONY'S: The produce market at 35th/Barton in Westwood is shut down for its seasonal break between Halloween and the winter holidays. It'll reopen for Christmas-tree sales right after Thanksgiving.
WESTSIDE PUBLIC HOUSE: The sports bar moving into the former Terrible Beauty (etc.) spot at California/Edmunds says its liquor license is in hand. David sent this photo of the U-Haul truck outside the past few days as interior work continues:
No opening date announced yet; we first noted the sports-bar plan in September.
Reality show 'My City's Just Not That Into Me' films @ Click!November 2, 2014 at 10:45 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 10 Comments
When the reality-TV show "My City's Just Not That Into Me" premieres on FYI early next year, you can watch for a guest appearance by The Junction and Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor). A crew stopped by yesterday – on less than 24 hours' notice – for a round of filming:
Click! co-proprietor John Smersh explained, "Their concept as I understand it is to find people who are thinking about moving to a new city and have them figure out where to live and how they'll accessorize their new place. They liked our contemporary style and the overall look of the store as a 'set'." One crew member mentioned living in West Seattle and having shopped at Click! The show premieres in January – more background is in this HollywoodReporter.com story – and the episode featuring West Seattle is expected to be shown in February.
West Seattle (Athletic) Club update: Closure continuesOctober 24, 2014 at 3:33 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, WS Health Club/ex-Athletic Club/ex-Allstar Fitness | 82 Comments
(SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE: Club has yet to reopen)
What appears to be a transition at West Seattle (Athletic) Club continues, with the fitness center closed again today, as announced in e-mail Wednesday and posted on the doors Thursday, both saying it will reopen tomorrow. We went by after a tip that police were called there at midday. No officers there when we arrived, but we did see the truck shown above and exercise equipment sitting outside.
SPD told us the call was about "a disturbance," but did not lead to arrests. Today was the court-ordered deadline for club owner Sam Adams to pay property owner John Pietromonaco $1.1 million or face eviction; when contacted earlier this week, Pietromonaco told WSB that he had "a plan" if that didn't happen. We asked the King County Sheriff's Office if it had or was planning to serve eviction papers; spokesperson Sgt. DB Gates said the "writ of restitution" issued October 6th in the unlawful-detainer (eviction) case has been assigned to a detective, but they don't comment further on specific plans for serving paperwork (or not).
ADDED 9:33 PM: Commenter John sent a photo of the drained pool, visible from the sidewalk:
If you plan on going there first thing tomorrow morning, please let us know (comment, e-mail, phone/text, whatever works) what you find – open, closed, etc. Thank you!
SAT. MORNING, 8:43 AM: We won't be able to go look for a while longer but as of a short time ago, a caller says, closed and locked, same sign.
West Seattle (Athletic) Club closed today, tomorrow, with change reported to be in the worksOctober 23, 2014 at 12:05 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, WS Health Club/ex-Athletic Club/ex-Allstar Fitness | 38 Comments
Apparently not all West Seattle (Athletic) Club members received the e-mail announcement that the fitness center at 2629 SW Andover is closed today and tomorrow, as the court-ordered deadline for its owner to pay $1.1 million nears. E-mail from several members this morning indicated the closure has indeed happened, without explanation (and we just went over to photograph the sign on the door). We added the announcement last night to our most recent update (read it here).
The closure so far seems to match the scenario laid out in a club employee's e-mail to some of its fitness instructors; that e-mail suggested the club would reopen under new management/ownership. As first reported here in early October – and reiterated by property owner John Pietromonaco when we spoke with him Tuesday – this Friday is the deadline for owner Sam Adams to pay $1.1 million, mostly back rent, or face eviction. Pietromonaco told us that if Adams failed to do that, he had a plan to keep the club running. If any new information on the club's future becomes available today, we'll add to this story.
West Seattle (Athletic) Club: Three days to $1.1 million deadlineOctober 21, 2014 at 3:54 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, WS Health Club/ex-Athletic Club/ex-Allstar Fitness | 55 Comments
(UPDATED Wednesday afternoon with club's e-mail re: Thursday/Friday closure plan)
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
The future of the West Seattle (Athletic) Club should be clearer, for now, by the end of the week.
This Friday (October 24th), as reported here two weeks ago, is the deadline for owner Sam Adams to pay $1.1 million in back rent/other payments to landlord John Pietromonaco, to hold off eviction. According to the court orders stipulating that deadline, a "loan contract already executed by [Adams's company] Hollystone Holdings" was going to provide that money.
However, with three days to go, he hasn't paid up, according to Pietromonaco, who we reached by phone this afternoon.

West Seattle food news: Hot Chocolat on TV; Coastline crowdfunding adds commenter's suggestionOctober 16, 2014 at 9:39 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | Comments Off
Two West Seattle food-biz notes:
FIREFIGHTER WITH A NOT-SO-SECRET IDENTITY: Embedded above is the recent Evening Magazine profile of Chef Michael Poole and his artisan candy business, Hot Chocolat Artisan Firehouse Chocolates. Even if you saw the profile on TV, you might not have realized Chef Poole is based in West Seattle. His day job, as the TV feature shows, is as a lieutenant in the Seattle Fire Department dispatch center; in his "spare time" he has space at one of the commercial kitchens in The Triangle, making his Hot Chocolat creations. (We met him there earlier this year.) His culinary career started out with a more general line of catering, but he eventually went on to study and work with master sweets-crafters in France. He sells his chocolates online and also has some retail outlets, including Chaco Canyon Organic Café in The Triangle, where you can buy his vegan chocolates.
COASTLINE CROWDFUNDING ADDS PUNCHCARDS: It was suggested by WSB commenter Goodgraces, and now it's part of the crowdfunding campaign for Coastline, the "burger joint" that is taking over the ex-Shoofly spot in The Junction. One of the partners, Aaron Shepherd, sent this update tonight:
Responding to community feedback in regards to their hopes for participation with the Kickstarter campaign, we have Upgraded our Rewards. We've added a new category of "Punch Cards":
4 Burger Punch Card for $25
6 Burger Punch Card for $35
9 Burger Punch Card for $45
12 Burger Punch Card for $55
15 Burger Punch Card for $65
We hope people are excited about the Upgraded Rewards, and look forward to seeing everyone at Coastline ASAP.
Shepherd says they hope to open in about a month.
Congratulations! West Seattle Thriftway's Paul Kapioski accepts Grocer of the Year honorsOctober 14, 2014 at 12:42 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 25 Comments
Congratulations to Paul Kapioski, owner of West Seattle Thriftway (WSB sponsor) in Morgan Junction, just honored as the Washington Food Industry Association's 2014 Grocer of the Year. The award was announced in a surprise presentation at the store this morning; Kapioski said his staffers are the people who "make the store happen":
WFIA says the award is given for "lifetime commitment to the independent grocery industry and exemplification of business leadership." WS Thriftway celebrated its 25th anniversary just last year. The store's ongoing campaign of community giving includes donations to the West Seattle Food Bank as well as summer-long series of benefit barbecues every year, with proceeds going to community nonprofits.
West Seattle real estate: The Pacific Institute's HQ is up for saleOctober 12, 2014 at 6:44 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | Comments Off
(King County Assessor's Office photo)
The latest check of commercial-real-estate listings revealed a big new listing on Harbor Avenue: Right across from Seacrest, the world headquarters of international consultancy The Pacific Institute is on the market. The listing for the 18-year-old, five-story building at 1709 Harbor Avenue SW has its own website, titled Seattle Waterfront Office, where you can see photos and descriptions of each floor – offices, conference rooms, rooftop deck, fifth-floor living quarters used by visitors.
Two years have passed since The Pacific Institute's chair and co-founder Lou Tice died, survived by his wife, co-founder Diane Tice, who remains active with TPI. The company's Facebook page mentions that the Tices' ranch retreat in Central Washington will be offered at auction this Thursday. Meantime, the 1709 Harbor building is listed "without an asking price," inviting "offers … at any time." Here's the official flyer. We contacted The Pacific Institute for comment after seeing the listing, and they promised "a statement" sometime this week.
SIDE NOTE: West Seattle's northeastern waterfront has other properties on the market too – the potential waterfront-development site at 2300 Harbor SW is listed at $5,750,000; the three-year-old live-work complex at 2383 Harbor SW is listed at $3,745,000; 2605-2645 Harbor is listed with a "negotiable price"; immediately southeast of that site, vacant land at 2651 Harbor SW is listed for $390,000; and the GT Towing yard at 3200 Harbor SW remains on the market, currently listed at $750,000.
Terminal 5′s future, port alliance spotlighted as West Seattle Chamber of Commerce hears from Port Commission co-presidentOctober 9, 2014 at 1:03 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 7 Comments

The West Seattle Chamber of Commerce took its lunch meeting on the road today – or, more like, to the shore, at Port of Seattle-owned Jack Block Park, where attendees heard from Stephanie Bowman, co-president of the Port Commission.
She introduced new port CEO Ted Fick, in his second week on the job. His first task is to "take a fresh look at the port and how we do business," explained Bowman.
Her topics: First, the just-completed cruise-ship season, a "thriving industry" with 197 ship calls this year – and, she noted, an industry full of spending visitors, helpful for a "sales-tax-(dependent) state." Second, Sea-Tac Airport, where international travel is vital, and a terminal serving it is being rebuilt, and where, she said, the baggage-handling system is being improved, too, thanks in part to a "big grant from the federal government" – helping with a $400 million project.
The big issue of specific West Seattle interest: The fate of Terminal 5 (closed since midsummer, as reported here in July), steps away from today's luncheon location.

West Seattle (Athletic) Club update: Deadline set for $1.1 million paymentOctober 7, 2014 at 9:22 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, WS Health Club/ex-Athletic Club/ex-Allstar Fitness | 45 Comments

New information tonight from the ongoing proceedings related to the proprietor of the West Seattle Club (formerly the West Seattle Athletic Club). When last we wrote about this on September 3rd, the property's owner was trying to reopen the most recent "unlawful detainer" complaint – an action that can lead to eviction – which had been put on hold when club proprietor Sam Adams filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy organization in June.
On September 3rd, Adams, landlord John Pietromonaco, and their respective lawyers were in federal bankruptcy court downtown to argue over whether that hold (technically a stay) could be lifted. Adams hadn't paid even the partial rent owed, his landlord's lawyer David Tall argued, and had had enough time to do so. Judge Marc Barreca agreed the stay on the "unlawful detainer" proceedings could be lifted.
Though that case had been closed for lack of activity since the June stay, Tall filed to reopen it, and a King County Superior Court judge granted that request in mid-September. A hearing subsequently was set for yesterday morning in the Regional Justice Center courtroom where such cases are heard on Monday mornings if things haven't been worked out before the hearing date. (When a similar action was scheduled for a hearing in February, it didn't happen, because Adams had made a payment.)
This time, there was a hearing, albeit a brief one. The property owner's lawyer Tall was there; no one was there on Adams' behalf. But in these types of hearings, the documents usually say much more than the words actually spoken in court, so we waited to see them before writing this update, and by late today, they were available online.
Bottom line to the main document, an "agreed order": If the landlord gets $1,150,000 by October 24th, the "unlawful detainer" case will be dismissed. According to the "agreed order," that money is "being procured by financing to be extended to Hollystone Holdings Inc. pursuant to a loan contract already executed by Hollystone Holdings by its officer, Sam A. Adams." The "agreed order" did not include any further details of that financing, but as noted in our last report, Adams' lawyer told the bankruptcy judge in September that his client was pursuing a $3 million loan.
The "agreed order" also says that any and all "liens against the premises" must be paid with the expected loan money. Meantime, as this plays out in state court, Adams' Chapter 11 case continues; documents in the federal file say one of the upcoming matters to be decided is the future of the club lease.
West Seattle biznotes: Who's new in two local storefrontsSeptember 30, 2014 at 9:04 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
Two local storefronts have new tenants:
FIRST DAY FOR FLOURISH BEAUTY: The former Young At Art storefront at Fauntleroy/Raymond is now home to the salon/spa Flourish Beauty. Proprietor Tiann Stubberfield e-mailed to say this was their first day in business. Tiann describes herself as "a born and raised West Seattle gal!" You might know her most recently for running Coco Bar at Ola Salon; she adds, "All of the gals working here are also West Seattleites who have been practicing for anywhere from 3-15 years." They'll be celebrating their opening with an open house Sunday, October 19th, noon-4 pm.
LIKA LOVE GOES BRICKS AND MORTAR: The mobile boutique you've seen around West Seattle for some time now is acquiring a fixed location. Malika Siddiq's Lika Love is moving into the former Clementine's storefront at 4447 California SW in The Junction, with a grand opening planned 4-8 pm on October 9th.

Punta Cana Dominican Republic
We just got back from a wonderful 10 days in Punta Cana. We stayed at the Esmeralda Punta Cana resort. It was quite hot and humid for my liking, but we had a great time. It was our third visit there and we decided to do an ATV excursion, a parasail excursion off the beach which did not turn out well. And a free shopping excursion which was nice they had a hard rock café restaurant and we had a delicious hamburger the last night we were there. As far as the parasail ...
Another day of Relaxation
... Slept in late and sat around chatting in the room until heading to the breakfast buffet. - Scored towels and floaties and hung out at the quiet end of the pool in the grass and read - So relaxing and laid back. Perfect Saturday. - Broke for snacks around 3 - Caribbean sun has been amazing. At home, I had to constantly moisturize but the humidity meant our skin was healing from the dry cold of a Canadian winter - We ...
Sandy Yoga
... but as it was booked we wandered down to the World Cafe for supper. We walked back to the beach to watch a movie, but gave in after being buried in sand with high winds blowing the beach around We went back to the shops and picked up some sweets. Then took in the International Show of dancing. Back to the room to relax and read and check out pizza room ...
The Excursion
... in conservation. We made the short ride to the pens and had to follow a rope from the boat. The Atlantic swells were high and I remembered why I disliked snorkelling. Stacey took to it like a fish so she's in the charge of camera. - massive nurse sharks that I only discovered months later are not harmless and can bite if they get interested in you. Huge, huge sharks. - holding the stingray was like trying to hold ...
Nothing much to report......
... so I'll pop in later and get some. We are off on an outback tour on Wednesday and if enough people want to join the trip we are heading to the capital next week. Best dash - Jase is percolating coffee before we go to the gym. So much food we best keep active or I'll never get in the dress for the wedding (and Jase won't fit in the shorts he so proudly slimmed in to ) Love to all!! Gill and Jase ...
