Just in case you forgot why you live in Seattle, a photo-refresher course. A rum drink really sets the mood, if you have anything like that handy.......

This Oregon drive started when the Ducks intercepted Jake Locker on their own 6. Oregon drove the ball into Husky territory, but were still outside field goal range on this key 3rd & 8. If the Huskies were going to have a chance, they needed to make a stop on this play, and they couldn't--due to a blitz that didn't work and miscommunication in the secondary. 1) The Dawgs lined up in a nickel package--four......

Screw you, Kenmore Air. You fly these things over our duplex every 2.5 minutes en route to Lake Union and you offer that tantalizing tourist flight around Seattle that's just out of Seattlest's financial grasp, and then, if those two weren't enough, you confound us by never ever hacking any boaters to bits when you're on the lake. We've been out there when it's busy and we can attest to the fact that it's difficult......

Sampaist is on the scene in São Paulo beginning this week to become the only ist south of the Equator. Editor Leandro M. Pinto leads the paulistanos down there. You can protest someone at his office, sure, but when the whistle blows at the end of the day can you follow him home? D.C. has sports fans, apparently, and elephants aren't really cut out for zoos. There's this trick where you can read information from......

We don't actually have anything against the Ducks, but it is the season and we found this site that seems to despise them in a hilarious manner. Yes, the Ducks are annoying to see on the streets of downtown and you want to respond to every "quack quack" with "Yes, an actual Seattle person walking to work. Fascinating isn't it?" And, ok, if you're in a kayak most other boats around you are moving......

For the first time since maybe the 2004 tournament loss to UAB, the Husky men were beat by a more athletic team Thursday, as Oregon upset them in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament. When the Huskies seemed ready to pull away, athletic plays by Jordan Kent and Malik Hairston kept the Ducks in the game. They hassled Ryan Appleby (who, it's now clear, probably shouldn't ever handle the ball) leapt for rebounds and......

Local literary enthusiasts should plan on staking out Elliott Bay Books for the next three nights. They're hosting readings by a debut novelist, a well-established novelist, and a local journalist/author visiting Italy (but not Rick Steves). Tonight at 7:30, Olympia author Jim Lynch reads from his debut novel, The Higest Tide. It's a tale of a young man and the sea that comes complete with a giant squid and high praise from authors like Katherine......
