Most people change their life by appearance or by careers or even through a spiritual conversion. All of this is good if there is a vision. A vision for your life creates direction, purpose and mission. Changing your life happens in four distinct areas: personal growth, family, health, and career. If you focus or change your life in these areas, you will see a great change. Once you change any of these areas, you will change your financial future.
Changing your financial future starts with a vision. To facilitate your personal vision in those four areas, you will need to have a financial budget. Good managed finances will certainly impact the achievement in those four areas. One survey suggests that over 33% of people do not operate a budget properly. I have seen disastrous results of a non-working budget, i.e. bankruptcy, surmounting debt, frustration, pain and shame are just a few. Habakkuk 2:2 says Write a vision, and make it plain upon a table so that a runner can read it. A budget if operated correctly will guide, direct and even constrain you from splurging. It will cause you to run toward your end goal. Here are the most common reasons that many don't operate with a budget: I don't make enough money; I have too much debt, I have too many bills and it's not worth it. I don't handle money well therefore I am doomed to fail. Know this: Your budget can resolve all of your concerns.
A budget should have three components: income, expenses, and net income. It's just that easy. Income comes in a couple of ways: planned or unplanned. Most would prefer planned but in some cases unplanned is what people are going through today. Planned income is the steady stream of finances on a weekly/monthly basis. Unplanned income comes at an infrequent rate. Examples of this are commissions, credit returns, and temporary pay from work being done and even unemployment wages. It is always good to know where you stand with planned income so that you can regulate your budget. If you have unplanned income, try to limit enough expenses during that period of time. Remember this, income is the most important aspect of the budget because the amount of income controls the amount of spending.
Now let's look at expenses. I will try not to replicate the traditional principles of expenses here. It is good to write down all of your expenses as stated in Proverbs 27:23 - 24, Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds, for riches don't last forever, and the crown might not be passed to the next generation. Separate your expenses into three categories: Need, Want, or Desire. This will give you the confidence to win any battle with finances.
Work your budget first with the "Need" in mind. The need is a necessary expense for living (food, clothing, shelter, insurances expenses, and emergency fund/savings). The need is a "gotta have". If your income does not exceed your expenses, then go back and work it until you have a surplus. There is a saying in Proverbs 10:22 which states, the blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. If there is something in your expenses that causes you pain and frustration, you may need to get rid of it. By doing so, freedom will come..
If you have a surplus, work your budget with the "Want" expenses. The want is something above and beyond basic needs, better quality and better technology than the store brand. In most cases, the cost is higher (i.e. PDA vs. flip phone, name brand cornflakes instead of store brand - you get the picture!). You should be meeting your budget comfortably with the want expenses. Lastly, if you have a surplus, move on to the "Desire" expenses. These are expenses that will move you closer to the achievement of your personal goals. Within each category, there is a level of budget constraint that you should experience. This means that accomplishment is around the corner for your vision.
Finally the last section is net income. This is nothing more than subtracting the Need, Want, or Desire from your income. Executing your budget this way will change your life. You might not see the difference now but in 3 to 6 months you will see a change. You will begin to takeover your finances with a vengeance.


The connection between autoimmune dysfunction and psychiatric illnesses has been investigated for many years. Recently, studies have shown that in some cases, there may be a biological basis for certain neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and chronic depression. Other studies have found that infection-triggered autoimmune disorders may be the root cause of numerous neuropsychiatric symptoms.
The Cunningham PanelTM, developed and offered exclusively through Moleculera Labs, is the first test of its kind in the world. The Panel is one, out of several to be introduced, which assists physicians in determining the likelihood that a patient's neuropsychiatric symptoms are due to an infection-triggered autoimmune response, rather than a primary psychiatric disorder.
The connection between autoimmune dysfunction and psychiatric illnesses has been investigated for many years. Recently, studies have shown that in some cases, there may be a biological basis for certain neuropsychiatric disorders.
In a subset of individuals, the immune system produces autoantibodies, intended to fight an infection but instead attack healthy tissue in the brain, resulting in the neurologic and/or psychiatric behaviors.
Molecular mimicry plays an important role in immune responses to infection and in autoimmune diseases. It occurs when our immune system mistakenly attacks normal body tissues.
The number of children and adolescents impacted by chronic and complex neuropsychiatric conditions has skyrocketed. Movement, behavioral, developmental and neuropsychiatric disorders affect millions worldwide.
Our goal is to develop additional testing panels that would identify if patients suffering from other neuropsychiatric conditions may be responsive to autoimmune therapy rather than treatment with neuropsychiatric drugs.
All too often, children with PANS and PANDAS are misdiagnosed as having a psychiatric illness. Unfortunately, for PANS and PANDAS patients this does not address the root cause of the symptoms, which is an infection-triggered autoimmune condition.

The final first division, just months before the words Coca Cola and Championship would come together for the first time.
Neither side wanted to be left in the league in time for the birth of new branding when Crystal Palace and West Ham met at the Millennium Stadium in 2004.
It had been an amazing turnaround as Iain Dowie took the club from a mid-season relegation battle to a play-off place on the final day of the season.
The likes of Michael Carrick, Nigel Reo-Coker, Andy Johnson, Wayne Routledge and Bobby Zamora took to the field that day but another man made his mark.
Neil Shipperley wore the captain's armband, Neil Shipperley scored and Niel Shipperley led Crystal Palace to the Premier League and the best moment of his career.
What happened to Crystal Palace man who signed from Hull City, formerly of Blackpool, Carlisle and Wycombe?
The former Southampton striker told football league world: "It all went to plan really. As a kid growing up as a centre forward you want the limelight and you want to be the one who gets the goals in the big games.
"It was absolutely perfect, I was captain on the day so to lead the team out was one positive and scoring the winning goal was just the icing on the cake. It doesn't get much better than that to be honest."
"Looking back if anyone was to ask 'what did Neil Shipperley do in his career' it's that one occasion that will be mentioned so yes I would agree that it was the best moment of my career."
"If you look at the squad at the start of the season under the management of Steve Kember then we certainly fancied ourselves to do something, it's as simple as that.
"For whatever reason our form just plummeted and things stopped working out. Come Christmas we were in the bottom three and Iain Dowie was taking over as manager.
"We went on one hell of a run and we sneaked into the play-offs on the final day of the season. The trend is one that is quite common nowadays, where the team who finishes on a high performs gains the momentum over their rivals and the teams that finish higher end up with nothing."
It was a typically scrappy goal that Shipperley bundled in from within the six-yard box, amidst a battling performance of knock downs.
The forward believes it is a skill that some present day strikers do not appreciate enough.
He said: "I used to love holding the ball up in the final third – that's what really excited me.
"Obviously as a striker it's great to be tapping the ball into the goal but I think a lot of players now, particularly strikers, don't like side of the game that brings others into play but I loved doing that."

Malala in Nigeria Sees Schoolgirls as Her 'Sisters'
Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai who survived being shot by the Taliban because she advocated education for girls, holds a picture of kidnapped schoolgirl Sarah Samuel with her mother Rebecca Samuel, during a visit to Abuja, Nigeria, July 13, 2014
Malala Yousafzai, the teenage Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for girls' education, met on Sunday with the relatives of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram.
She pledged to help free the girls abducted by the Islamist militants.
Malala, 16, met with parents of the more than 200 girls who were kidnapped from a school in the northeastern village of Chibok in April.
Boko Haram, a Taliban-inspired movement, say they are fighting to establish an Islamic state in religiously mixed Nigeria.
The group, whose name means "Western education is sinful," has killed thousands and abducted hundreds since launching an uprising in 2009.
Emotional meeting
Some of the parents broke down into tears as Malala spoke at a hotel in the capital Abuja on Sunday.
"I can see those girls as my sisters ... and I'm going to speak up for them until they are released," said Malala, who celebrates her 17th birthday Monday in Nigeria, where she is scheduled to meet with President Goodluck Jonathan.
"I'm going to participate actively in the 'bring back our girls' campaign to make sure that they return safely and they continue their education."
The girls' abduction drew unprecedented international attention to the war in Nigeria's northeast and the growing security risk that Boko Haram poses to Nigeria, Africa's leading energy producer.
A #BringBackOurGirls Twitter campaign supported by Michelle Obama and Angelina Jolie heaped pressure on authorities to act, and Jonathan pledged to save the girls, drawing promises of Western help to do so.
But several weeks on, the hostages have not yet been freed and media interest has waned.
Bomb plot uncovered
Boko Haram, now considered as the main security threat to Nigeria, is growing bolder.
Police said on Saturday they uncovered a plot to bomb the Abuja transport network using suicide bombers and devices concealed in luggage at major bus stations.
While meeting with the girls' parents, Malala said she could "feel ... the circumstances under which you are suffering. It's quite difficult for a parent to know that their daughter is in great danger. My birthday wish this year is.. bring back our girls now and alive."
Taliban militants shot Malala in October 2012 for her outspoken views on women's right to education.
She survived after being airlifted to Britain for treatment and has since become a symbol of defiance against militants operating in the tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
She has won the European Union's prestigious human rights award and was one of the favorites to win the Nobel Peace Prize last year, although the award ended up going to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

Q: Query taking a long time to run. Any way to simplify it? i'm running the code as follows. I'm having trouble with the long running time. Is there a way to make it run faster?
SELECT
a.data_date as day
, sum(a.column1) + sum(a.column2) as total
, sum(a.column1) as part1
, sum(a.column2) as part2
, sum(b.column1) as alien

FROM table1 a

INNER JOIN table1 b

ON a.data_date = b.data_date AND a.column3 = b.column3

WHERE a.data_date ='20131001'
and a.column3 = 12345
and a.column4 is not NULL
and b.column4 is NULL

GROUP BY
a.data_date

A: As far as I can see it you don't need the JOIN at all.
You can get th same result with single reference to your table.

A: Since this is the same table,i believe u can remove your join, the best is provide ur sample data and expected result, then we can help u better, cheer =)
SELECT
a.data_date as day
, sum(a.column1) + sum(a.column2) as total
, sum(a.column1) as part1
, sum(a.column2) as part2
--remove this
--, sum(b.column1) as alien

FROM table1 a

--remove this
--INNER JOIN table1 b

--ON a.data_date = b.data_date AND a.column3 = b.column3

WHERE a.data_date ='20131001'
and a.column3 = 12345

and a.column4 is not NULL
--remove this
--and b.column4 is NULL

GROUP BY
a.data_date,a.column3

A: optimization techniques also depend on the size of tables.
small table should be first and try to put that table on distributed cache.
to make it faster ,rather applying where condition after join,try to apply it before join so that your join will be faster.
you may try something like below
set hive.auto.convert.join.true;
select
a.data_date as day
, sum(a.column1) + sum(a.column2) as total
, sum(a.column1) as part1
, sum(a.column2) as part2
, sum(b.column1) as alien
from table1 b
inner join (select * from table1 WHERE a.data_date ='20131001'
and a.column3 = 12345
and a.column4 is not NULL
)a
on (a.data_date = b.data_date AND a.column3 = b.column3)

where b.column4 is NULL
GROUP BY
a.data_date

Blogger's Block: On Writing Against The Noise
(plus coverfolk of and by musicians with tinnitus)
January 12th, 2009 — 12:08 am
Apologies for the eleventh-hour entry, folks. I waited all weekend, hoping that my ear troubles would dissipate, but alas, it seems I am doomed to suffer the double distraction of deafness and tinnitus for a while longer.
Happily, my ability to hear and appreciate live music was not as compromised as I feared. I spent a practically ecstatic Saturday afternoon at this year's Boston Celtic Music Festival, and I'm still glowing from both the music and the experience of folk-as-communion which was so prevalent at the festival. But though I am eager to share my thoughts about it, and report on some truly wonderful developments in the Boston-based neotraditional folk scene which we first wrote about here this summer, tonight I'm truly not up to the task.
Distraction is the right word; it's not just the noise, or the lack of it, that bothers me. The ringing keeps me from being able to stay focused enough to write and think; the lack of sleep which loud ringing has caused has taken its toll on my mind as well. My ability to develop the coherent, cohesive piece which the young, talented musicians at the core of the scene truly deserve is corrupted. And, as you can see from the overutilization of the word "truly" in the last two paragraphs, I am already almost out of words.
Wednesdays will be a Birthday post, as I will be turning one year older this week; the excuse to write about myself will, conveniently, allow us to postpone the need to hear and listen to the self. From there, it is my hope to return to my usual competence, and to the subject of the New England post-traditional folk scene, by next weekend.
Until then, we apologize for technical difficulties. Here's a simple set of folkcovers of and by musicians who also reportedly suffer from tinnitis, including four stunningly lovely Neil Young covers, Sara McLachlan's famous folkpop cover of XTC radio classic Dear God (songwriter Andy Partridge suffers tinnitus in both ears), a hilariously tongue-in-cheek folk take on the Pete Townshend-penned Pinball Wizard paired with a surprisingly folky acoustic turn from Townshend himself, and two great recent tracks from genre-bending jazzman bassist and ear-ringer Charlie Haden, whose wonderful new tradfolk and bluegrass release Charlie Haden Family & Friends: Ramblin' Boy has been making the blogrounds. At least I'm in good company, eh?

to rectify the existing payment arrangements for management agreements for Government tunnels, which are inconsistent with the provisions of the Public Finance Ordinance (Cap. 2).
2.	TRAN 1/12/130 (99) dated 14 May 1999 issued by the Transport Bureau.
4.	Existing BOT tunnels are governed by their respective Ordinances enacted at different points of time. The Cross-Harbour Tunnel Ordinance (Cap. 203) is the earliest BOT tunnel legislation and will be repealed with effect from 1 September 1999 when the franchise expires. The remaining of the four BOT tunnel Ordinances are : Eastern Harbour Crossing Ordinance (Cap. 215), Tate's Cairn Tunnel Ordinance (Cap. 393), Western Harbour Crossing Ordinance (Cap. 436) and Tai Lam Tunnel and Yuen Long Approach Road Ordinance (Cap. 474). Government tunnels and Government toll roads are governed by the Road Tunnels (Government) Ordinance (Cap. 368) and the Tsing Ma Control Area Ordinance (Cap. 498).
extending the procedure of pleading guilty by letter in the magistrates' courts to offences under the Tai Lam Tunnel and Yuen Long Approach Road Bylaw (Cap. 474 sub. leg.) if the fine is below $2,000 to bring it in line with the procedure allowed in other tunnels and toll roads legislation.
6.	The Bill also introduces a new provision in the Road Tunnels (Government) Ordinance (Cap. 368) to rectify the existing payment arrangements for management agreement for Government tunnels, which are inconsistent with the provisions of the Public Finance Ordinance (Cap. 2) ("PFO"). The effect of this new provision is that tunnel operators under Cap. 368 will be allowed to retain their management fees from the statutory tolls and fees collected whereas under the PFO, such retention is not allowed as all moneys raised or received for the purposes of the Government will form part of the general revenue. A similar provision has been proposed in the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 1998 relating to the management agreements for parking meters and the New Kowloon Bay Vehicle Examination Centre. The Bills Committee on that Bill has considered the provision and supported it. Members may also note that this payment arrangement has already been provided in the Tsing Ma Control Area Ordinance (Cap. 498).
7.	If enacted, the provisions relating to pleading guilty by letter and those relating to payment arrangement for Government tunnel operators will come into operation on the day of publication in the Gazette. The remaining provisions of the Bill will come into operation on 1 September 1999.
8.	The tunnel companies concerned have been consulted on the proposed amendments and they all agreed to the proposals.
9.	The LegCo Panel on Transport has been briefed on the Bill at its meeting on 23 April 1999. Members of the Transport Panel had no specific objection to the proposed amendments.
10.	This Bill does not seek to introduce policy changes. The legal and drafting aspects of the Bill are in order. Subject to Members' views, the Bill is ready for resumption of Second Reading debate.

Abuse of Ketamine and Ecstasy
Ketamine is a drug which contains mind-altering properties and ketamine is soaring in Britain, a new report has found. The tranquillizer, which is legally available, has gone from being a rarity confined to gay clubs in London to a widely used drug of choice, more popular than ecstasy in some areas.Experts say it is increasingly being taken as a recreational drug by middle-class professionals at weekends, instead of just hardened drug addicts.
But campaigners have warned that the drug can have serious side- effects and has been linked to psychotic episodes and schizophrenia.
For the first time, ketamine has featured in an annual survey by the charity DrugScope of the most widely available drugs in the UK. Last year, the market was so small that the drug did not appear in DrugScope's report. This year, it was recorded as being easily available in eight of the 15 cities surveyed in the report, including Gloucester, Portsmouth, Nottingham and Belfast.
Ketamine is widely used as an anaesthetic in humans and animals, but its hallucinogenic and 'out of body' side-effects have also made it popular among clubbers. Users say it has psychedelic qualities that can make it psychologically rather than physically addictive.
The DrugScope survey found that it can be bought for as little as pounds 15 a gram, putting it on a par with the cost of ecstasy. Dealers import the drug from Indian pharmacies and sell it freely on the streets.
The Government has become so concerned about the rising recreational use of ketamine that earlier this year it announced proposals to make it a Class C drug like anabolic steroids.
Harry Shapiro, editor of DrugLink magazine in which the survey appears, said: 'The emergence of ketamine as a key substance of choice is an entirely new phenomenon since we last carried out the survey in 2004, when it didn't figure at all.'
One in five people have used or tried Ketamine
According to some estimates, one in five people on the clubbing scene have used the drug.
Observers said that because the potency of ecstasy pills has declined, people are turning to ketamine for a stronger effect. A Birmingham drug treatment worker, Neil Venables, said: 'Ecstasy pills contain less MDMA [the active ingredient] than they used to and so it is more of just a stimulant than something that alters your state of mind. People aged 18 to 25 are taking ketamine for a more trippy night out. You can spot them on the dance-floor because they're not dancing, they're sitting down in a bit of a vegetative state.'
The survey also found that the cost of the cheapest ecstasy in the UK has halved in the past year alone. Researchers found a rock- bottom price for ecstasy of 50p in Portsmouth this year, compared with last year's cheapest deal of pounds 1 in Birmingham. Even in London, the drug could be bought for pounds 2 a tablet.
More worryingly, the price of Class A drugs has also fallen dramatically in some cities over the past year. A gram of heroin now costs as little as pounds 25 in Sheffield, whereas last year it cost pounds 50. The survey found that drug dealers are offering 'two-for- one party packs' of heroin and crack, including special pounds 5-a- bag offers for prostitutes. For example, London dealers were commonly offering two pounds 10 bags of heroin and a pounds 10 bag of crack for pounds 25.
Cocaine has fallen slightly in price, with an average of around pounds 40 a gram.
The price of heroin has also halved in Portsmouth, from pounds 90 to pounds 40 per gram.
Crack can now be bought for as little as pounds 7 a rock in London, the report found.
The research also highlighted interesting regional differences in drug abuse. Amphetamines are most well-known in Nottingham and Newcastle, while Gloucester has the cheapest herbal cannabis and Valium is widespread in Glasgow and Birmingham.


In this small business self-employed life, the only way to make sure you don't starve in the coming months is to SELF-MOTIVATE.
But being human (probably the most common but real excuse), you just can't be in a 100% motivated-conquer-the-world-mood 24/7, 365 days a year. Simply because, you have FEELINGS. You know, moods and stuff. Here are some of the moods / feels I get all the time throughout the year. Sometimes they happen on different days, sometimes they all happen in one day. I'm so volatile. Tell me if you relate so I don't feel so alone lol!
My favourite mood ever. Here, you're inspired and excited. You have tons of plans, ideas, goals and confidence. You brainstorm, draw charts, organise your thoughts in colour, make calls, write feelings, write out whole scripts and concepts – you get the picture. Just freggin' excited that you've got all these ideas to create that will surely heighten your career!
Sometimes there is just so damn much to do but at a moderate urgency that you don't know which to do yet. So you make a list and just stare at it. They all seem sort of important that you're not sure which to fully immerse your day into because you know that'll probably take up half or the entire day, and the other things seem sort of important too and you feel you need to do that too, so you can't decide which to do… Just the thought of this can completely tire you out and woarah, you wasted an hour of your life contemplating which to do and probably wouldn't get to it until one of the tasks reach a 'high urgency' status.
I feel this mostly when I blog. wtf. Yes. Since blogging is not yet something I do regularly but am passionate about and want to do more of, I find it productive that I am blogging. But I am also using "serious-money-making-working-hours" to do this. I'm supposed to be working on my list of actual work, but I end up doing every other thing that I "feel" like doing that actual work gets delayed. This phase sometimes happen during THE CLOG stage as mentioned above.
This is probably the most common of days. It's when you don't feel an extreme high to conquer the world, but also don't feel like a sorry bum. You just know what to do and do it. The day starts and ends peacefully, you are at peace with yourself.
These are just some of the general moods I can currently think of haha. There's also other deeper feels like confidence in what you do, why you do, and how you do it that is probably a sub category of Productive Procrastination that I'll talk about in another post. Oh, and there's people too! The different type of people you need to and want to meet with that'll make you feel so differently about everything.

ACE Cash Express, Inc.
During the Spring and Summer of 2007, the Payday Lending (short-term loan) industry came under the close scrutiny of the District of Columbia City Council. In an effort to activate and engage public support for Payday Loans, Texas-based ACE Cash Express retained Walls Communications to develop and execute a last-minute public awareness and advertising campaign. A dedicated Walls Communications team coordinated radio and television interviews featuring ACE representatives; produced and placed radio spots on local radio stations; garnered the support of ACE by the two major local African American newspapers; coordinated a series of town-hall meetings on the Payday Loan issue; and managed ACE's ongoing support of, and involvement with, numerous local community organizations.
The DC Council ultimately imposed a prohibitive annual percentage rate (APR) cap on the industry. As a result, most of the Payday Loan companies no longer operate in the District. Despite these facts however, ACE Cash Express has remained in the city to provide check cashing and other financial services. ACE also continues to support several local community groups with the ongoing aid and support of Walls Communications.

What exactly, you ask, is the Bite of Seattle? Although the name conjures visions of some 1950's sci-fi film with a giant octopus devouring half the city, no, that isn't it. Neither is it a tale of yuppy Northwest vampires sinking their fangs into tourists (hmm, I think I see a screenplay materializing here.) No sirree, the Bite of Seattle is, simply put, one of the nation's largest food festivals, a three day eating extravaganza held annually on the third weekend in July.
What began as a modest event in 1982 on the shores of Green Lake featuring about twenty-five food booths, has now evolved into a sprawling, complex, multi-faceted affair covering most of Seattle Center grounds. It's a simple idea, really. What could bring together a couple of hundred thousand people to one crowded place all united in one common goal? The answer is obvious: FOOD! Everybody has to eat and as anyone with the gift of sight can attest, your average oversized American loves to (over)eat.
While the focus still falls primarily on eating, the Bite of Seattle has expanded its range over the years to include a wide spectrum of things besides just food. There are beer gardens and wine tasting rooms and cooking exhibitions with some of Seattle's top chefs. There are three or four stages set up for a variety of live music. Face painting and balloon artist clowns entertain the kids. Kiosk sellers hawk a little of everything from hippie tie-dye clothing to water-bubble pistols to build-it-yourself lamps to raingutter cover systems, always a big seller here in the Northwest. Free stuff abounds, from bite-sized food and drink and spice samples to a chiropractic spine check in case all that heavy-duty chewing and swallowing has thrown your sacroliliac out of whack. Enter to win a free Hawaiian vacation, a free Texas vacation, a new car. What they should really be providing free samples of is antacid.
Or just keep eating and get a not so free stomach ache. Because in the end, despite all the other attractions and distractions, it's really all about the food. That's what draws everyone there, that human craving to find something different, unique, untried and unheard of before, something to stuff your face with that just might tickle your taste buds in ways you can't imagine. You'll find plenty of that. Or if you're looking for the familiar and the comfortable, they've got that, too.
You want meat on a stick? Corndogs of the World is the place for you, a variety of sausages – Mexican Chipotle, Polish Keilbasa, All-American Beef Dog, among others – all covered in corn batter and deep-fried. Of course, it's hard to screw up anything that's battered and deep-fried.
Craving some alligator on a stick? New Orleans Cookery is what you want. Etouffee, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and the aforementioned gator, and yes, it does taste a little like chicken. Like a prehistoric, predatory, swamp-dwelling chicken.
Elsewhere you can find Thai food, Vietnamese, Korean BBQ, Mexican fare, Filipino food, Russian Piroshki, Ziegler's Bratwurst Haus, Indian cuisine, Greek gyros. You could just about drop your finger on a map of the world and find food from wherever it lands. Or if you want some basic Americana, there's corn on the cob, strawberry shortcake, pizza, fries galore and burgers of every stripe. Lots of our famous Northwest seafood, too: salmon, chowder, fish tacos, etc. You could easily come to the Bite all three days of the festival, spend a couple hundred dollars and still not sample everything.
As an old hand at this – I've been attending almost annually since the late 80's – it's fun to see old favorites returning year after year, but it's also nice to see and sample something you haven't had before. Case in point, one new item we saw this year: deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Seriously. Didn't try one, but the line was lengthy and no one looked disappointed.
If you're looking for something more upscale and gourmet oriented, try The Alley, one of the unique and most popular features at the Bite. Here, ten bucks gets you a sample of fine dining fare from ten different Seattle area restaurants. The line is usually long but the food is some of the best around and for ten bucks, it's a deal that can't be beat.
With all that hot, spicy, salty food being consumed, you're going to need something to wash it down. As I mentioned before, there are a couple of beer gardens and a wine tasting area, over 21 of course, and cordoned off from the general public. Now while you might think mixing alcohol and large crowds of people jammed together in confined spaces to be a recipe for trouble, I have to say I've never personally witnessed any truly bad, drunken behavior around the beer or wine areas. In fact, the same holds true of the entire festival in general. It's Seattle, after all, unfailingly polite and reservedly good-natured for the most part.
Overall, if you're ever in Seattle in July and you like to eat and you can tolerate crowds, check out the Bite of Seattle. Your stomach will thank you.


I hope that everyone had a happy Thanksgiving holiday! I did a little shopping online, and we put up the Christmas tree. Hayden likes to stare at the lights. Today we went into the yard for a few photographs because I liked the shadows being created on the grass. This old carriage is really meant for baby dolls, but I call him my baby doll all the time.
Random knowledge: As a child, my mom's favorite doll was named Nancy. My favorite doll was named Big Baby. I also named my cat "Kitty" although I was so little that it came out as "Tikki".
Very cute picture! I LOVE the "pram!"
