A Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska

Author: Doug Vandegraft
Publisher: Epicenter Press
ISBN: 1935347934
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 161

Book Description
New, revised second edition! Since A Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska was first published in 2014, eight of the bars that were described in the first edition have closed their doors forever. The revised second edition includes five additional bars that meet the criteria. Also added to the second edition are regional maps, and more historic photos and advertisements. The Lower 48 have created myths and legends about things Alaskan: Things in Alaska are bigger, colder, wilder, fiercer, more independent, more rugged, more resourceful, to name just a few of the qualities that surround the Alaska myth. However, the one that says Alaskan bars stand head and shoulders above bars anywhere else just might be true. When author Doug Vandegraft moved to Alaska after graduating college in 1983, he found himself in the wild-west-style bar scene in Anchorage. Nearly two decades later, he officially began conducting research on Alaskan bars that he found as unique as everyone believed. A Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska details the rich history and atmosphere of remarkable, one-of-a-kind Alaskan bars, many of which have been around since the end of Prohibition in 1933, and have become legendary in their communities and beyond as places to socialize, meet friends, come in from the cold, and sometimes as community centers or even as churches. Despite stricter laws regarding alcohol sale and consumption, Alaska's bars remain notorious in many ways.

Dart Strategy Illustrated

Author: Tom Holmes
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781549695438
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 218

Book Description
This book uses pure mathematics to derive the best strategy for any situation you could have in a game of steel tip '01. Based on a pattern of misses common to players who average about 19 to 22 points per dart, the resulting strategies are displayed in illustrations for each situation. At a glance, you can determine where you should aim to maximize your chance of winning. The optimal strategy for '01 games does not depend solely on your remaining score. The dart you are throwing (first, second, or third dart of your turn), your opponent's score, and your skill level should all factor into the decision of where to aim. At times, the score you had at the beginning of your turn also matters if there is a possibility of busting.Even if you already have memorized a good out chart and always follow its recommendations, the strategies in this book can yield more than a 2% increase in the proportion of legs that you win. That could mean winning one extra leg every couple of nights or several more legs over the course of a league season.
