Smith, Royals enjoy winning taste against A's
Smith, Royals enjoy winning taste against A's
Smith, a rookie left-hander, pitched his second straight victory and Chris Getz delivered a go-ahead double on Wednesday night, as the Royals downed the Oakland A's, 3-2, to entertain 15,591 fans at Kauffman Stadium. At least Smith thought they should have been entertained.
"That was a fun baseball game, I thought," Smith said. "People going blow-for-blow. It was fun."
Yes, and a brutal July has yielded to a pleasant August for the perked-up Royals. The victory gave them a 9-5 record so far this month after they limped through July with a 7-19 record.
"Things have stabilized and we're definitely going in the right direction," manager Ned Yost said.
In fact, counting a victory on the last day of July, the Royals have won 10 of their last 15 games. Their starting pitchers have an 8-5 record in that span compared to a wretched 4-15 from July 1-29.
"It's a grind, but we're working harder to pitch deeper into games and it's working out for us," Smith said.
The Royals overcame the A's 2-1 lead in the seventh inning. After right-handed starter Brandon McCarthy got two outs, Eric Hosmer doubled into the left-field corner and scored on Lorenzo Cain's double that eluded leaping left fielder Yoenis Cespedes at the bullpen fence.
"I thought he was going to catch it," Cain said. "I was looking at him the entire time and it looked like he had a good bead on it, but I guess I got it up high enough to hit it off the top of the fence. And I'll take it."
With the score tied at 2, McCarthy was relieved by left-hander Sean Doolittle who embarked on an 11-pitch duel with Getz by getting ahead in the count.
"Ideally you don't want to start 0-2," Getz said. "He kept on throwing his heater and showing his offspeed stuff, and he just kept on battling and battling and battling. It was one of those at-bats where you kind of get more comfortable as time goes on, once you've seen everything, and eventually you're fortunate enough to sneak one in there."
Getz, a left-handed batter, poked a line drive down the left-field line as Cain raced home.
"Getz, geez-oh-pea," Yost declared. "I don't know if that's the best at-bat of the year, but it's darn sure in the top five, an 11-pitch at-bat against a tough left-hander to drive in the winning run was a great job."
Smith went seven innings, giving up two runs on five hits and one walk to even his record at 4-4. Yost was especially pleased that Smith did so well, considering that he didn't have his best fastball going.
"When you're a young pitcher and you don't have your best stuff, you know it and you tend to fight yourself in those situations," Yost said. "You try to be too perfect and just end up getting your brains beat in. But this kid went out tonight and competed his tail off."
Smith fell behind, 2-1, in the fourth inning when Josh Donaldson lofted a solo home run down the left-field line.
"I was praying it would go foul but it didn't," Smith said. "That's my fault. He did his part -- he hit a good pitch. I thought I made a good pitch, it was down and he golfed it out so he did his part. He's a good hitter."
And Smith is starting to look like a good pitcher.
"I thought we had some chances against him early on," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He got out of some jams. He got better when his back was to the wall."
Case in point: After Jonny Gomes walked and Cespedes got an infield single to start the sixth, Smith retired the next three batters without a ball leaving the infield.
After Smith was finished, Aaron Crow pitched a perfect eighth inning and Greg Holland survived a leadoff single by Chris Carter in the ninth to record his fourth save as the Royals' closer.
"We're starting to play really good baseball," Smith said. "Our pitching's coming around, our offense is there, we're playing really good defense. So everything's a team effort right now."
At least August feels a lot better than July.
"We've gone through plenty of struggles this year, more than anyone wanted or anticipated or any of those things, but we're just going to try to ride this out," Getz said. "We feel like we've got a good group of guys, all working toward the same goal, and hopefully we can keep on going."

Senior Unionist figures were unhappy with press releases issued by the UK Government over the weekend focusing on obscure subjects such as mobile phone charges, with one Tory MSP calling them "silly".
They were a marked departure from the Coalition's previous strategy, which has enjoyed great success undermining the separatists' claims on 'big picture' issues such as currency and the EU.
Nicola Sturgeon, the Deputy First Minister, yesterday attempted to capitalise on their discomfort by calling for a UK Government report containing the mobile phone claims to be withdrawn.
But, speaking ahead of its launch today, Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, highlighted the 'big picture' arguments contained in the document. These include the trade benefits to Scotland of being part of a single UK market.
Mr Cable reverted to the Unionists' original strategy following concerns from the Better Together referendum campaign that focusing on minutiae could needlessly damage their credibility and let the nationalists off the hook.
Senior Better Together figures, including Alistair Darling, its leader, are warning that the public is in danger of suffering from "referendum fatigue" with more than 14 months to go until polling day.
Tensions also emerged yesterday in the opposing Yes Scotland campaign after its chief spin doctor stood down with support for separation in the doldrums.
The report being unveiled by Mr Cable today in Glasgow examines the ramifications of separation for communications, the postal service, transport and infrastructure.
Speaking ahead of the launch, the Business Secretary said the document shows Scotland exported £45.5 billion of goods to the remainder of the UK in 2011, double the level dispatched elsewhere and four times as much as to the rest of the EU.
"The union works for businesses on both sides of the border. Scotland is famous for its world class products and enterprising spirit – and the UK's truly free, integrated and growing market helps Scottish firms exploit these to the full," he said.
"As the economy starts to heal, now is the time to focus on renewed opportunities to do business. Breaking up Scotland's most lucrative market would destabilise enterprise and potentially put growth and jobs at risk."
The tone and subject matter, focusing on a topic central to companies' success, was in stark contrast to the criticisms of independence levelled at the weekend.
The first UK Government attack raised the prospect of increased "roaming" charges for Scots using their mobile phones in England or even near the Border.
Jackson Carlaw, Scottish Tory deputy leader, dismissed this as "silly". The EU is examining phasing out the extra fees for using mobile phones abroad.
The second attack on Sunday focused on charges for foreign HGVs for wear and tear on UK roads, which are being introduced next year and would apply to a separate Scotland's hauliers.
Ms Sturgeon yesterday wrote to Mr Cable, arguing the report must be withdrawn because it contains "misleading and inaccurate" claims.
"It is time for those in charge of this department to commit to higher standards in the material being published and ensure Project Fear has no place in government," she said.
Meanwhile, Susan Stewart, director of communications for the Yes Scotland campaign, announced she has left her job to "pursue other opportunities".
She has been moved to an "ambassadorial role within the wider campaign", but there was no explanation of what her new post would entail.

"It is surprising to see now, inspite of prior intimation to all the departments concerned including the General Administration Department (GAD) for accommodation, travel and security arrangements, there was no one from the department of protocol to receive Sushma Swaraj," State BJP president G Kishan Reddy said in a letter to Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy.
"I have come to know through newspaper report that you have already taken cognisance of the lapse. I request you to conduct high level inquiry so that accountability could be fixed to deter such lapses in future," he said.
The BJP President pointed out that such a protocol lapse occurred during the visit of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi too.
"I am still willing to concede that these lapses were not deliberate. But the pattern in the lapses give us room believe that there is a pattern with BJP top holding constitutional position," he said.
Sushma Swaraj visited Andhra Pradesh on May 31 to address a public meeting at Karimnagar.

Hey! Okay so I took the morning after pill 12 hours after sex
Patient : Hey! Okay so I took the morning after pill 12 hours after unprotected sex in January, 5 days after my last period had ended. A week after I had a short and light bleed, painful and heavy enough to wear a tampon. 4 weeks later I took 2 pregnancy tests (both negative), then got my period 2 days later although it was lighter and shorter than usual. Now I am on my period, although i have only had it for 2 days and it has basically stopped now and was light. Could i be pregnant? Im showing no other symptoms. Also it may be worth noting that just over a month before taking the morning after pill i had been taking norothisterone to delay my period. Please help!
Doctor : Hello, Thanks for the query. Since repeated pregnancy tests have come out to be negative, there is no chance of preg nancy. You were already on norethisterone pills and also had taken the morning after pill after a few days of stopping norethisterone. Generally, it is a known fact that these pills which are hormonal in nature can alter your cycles by delaying or even advancing them. They also cause spotting, irregular bleeding patterns, heavy or light flow and other changes. Hence as of now since the bleeding is under control, there is nothing to worry. However, you have to remember that the pills have to be used only for emergency and not regularly and haphazardly as they have a lot of side effects. Hope this helped. Regards

William James developed a theory of self that was divided into two main categories. The first was the "Me" self, and the second was the "I" self.[48] The "me" self refers to the aspects of someone that come from that person's experiences. James broke the "me" self down into three sections, The Material Self, The Social Self, and The Spiritual Self.[49] For James, the "I" self was classified as the thinking self. James linked this self to the soul of a person, or what we now think of as the mind.[50] The Pure Ego was the name given to the "I" self.[49]
Material self
The material self consists of things that belong to us or that we belong to. Things like family, clothes, our body, and money are some of what makes up our material selves.[48] For James, the core of the material self was the body.[50] Second to the body, a person's clothes were important to the Material Self, as well. James believed that people's clothes were a way that they expressed who they were, or a way to show status, thus contributing to the formation of self.[50] Money and family are also part of the material self. James felt that if we lost a family member, a part of who we are was gone as well. Money was a part of the material self in the same way. If at one point we had a lot of money then lost it, who we are as a person would change, as well.[50]
Social self
Our social selves are who we are in a given social situation. For James, people change how they act depending on the social situation that they are in. James believed that people had as many social selves as they did social situations they participated in.[50] For example, a person may act in a different way at work when compared to how that same person may act when they are out with a group of friends. James also believed that in a given social group, an individual's social self may be divided even further.[50] An example of this would be, in the social context of an individual's work environment, the difference in behavior when that individual is interacting with their boss versus their behavior when interacting with a co-worker.
Spiritual self
For James, the spiritual self was who we are at our core. The spiritual self is more concrete or permanent than the other two selves. The spiritual self is our subjective and most intimate self. Aspects of an individual's spiritual self include things like their personality, core values, and conscience that do not typically change throughout their lifetime. The spiritual self involves introspection, or looking inward to deeper spiritual, moral, or intellectual questions without the influence of objective thoughts.[50] For James, achieving a high level of understanding of who we are at our core, or understanding our spiritual selves is more rewarding than satisfying the needs of the social and material selves.
Pure ego
The pure ego is what James refers to as the "I" self. For James, the pure ego is what provides the thread of continuity between our past, present, and future selves. The pure ego's perception of consistent individual identity arises from a continual stream of consciousness.[51] James believed that the pure ego was similar to what we think of as the soul, or the mind. The pure ego was not a substance and therefore could not be examined by science.[48]

Open air museum at Enkhuizen
Enkhuizen Travel Blog› entry 3 of 11 › view all entries
In 2007 I went to the open air museum at Enkhuizen in Noord Holland with my grandmother ( the mother of my mother). We both were never been here before and wanted to see it for so long. So when we stayed in our Bed & Breakfast adress in a small village called "Noordeinde" near "De Rijp" in the province of North Holland we decided to pay this open air museum a visit.
The Zuiderzeemuseum is a museum that recreates a village of mostly small houses from all over the IJsselmeer region. It represents the way people lived around the IJsselmeer in the 19th century and at the start of the 20th century. The Zuiderzee Museum presents Dutch art, design and cultural legacy at the interface of land and water.
The Marken Harbour is a reconstruction of a nineteenth century harbour. You can see how the fishermen used to mend and knit their nets. You can enjoy a stroll along the quay to admire the ships and houses from Marken, Volendam and Monnickendam. A replica of a slip shed has been built near the harbour.
The church which proudly stands in the Museum Park was located in Den Oever for many centuries.
The hustle and bustle along the town canal always results in a great atmosphere. One side has been reconstructed like Edam. You will find the patisserie, the pharmacy, the cheese warehouse and the butcher. Children can get dressed up in traditional Volendam or Marken costumes and visit the Farmer Loan Bank.
Before you reach the poor, but oh so lovely fishing village, you will pass a fish smoker's and a real wind watermill. From the little dike you will be able to enjoy the breathtaking views of the IJsselmeer. Then you can stroll on into the village. Urk residents 'live' here just like they did back in 1905. With a bit of luck you might just be in time for dinner and you can join them for a smoked herring with boiled potatoes.
The peninsula starts behind the three characteristic limekilns. This largely consists of a nature area. You can take some time out to relax at the picnic spot and enjoy nature, just like us.
Hard working people are all over the Museum Park. They do work which no longer exists today or work which has seen radical changes.
To make a long story short, The open air museum at Enkhuizen is an absolute must!!!

I, for one, do not miss a bus station
Opinions appear mixed on whether we should have a new bus station or not. On our visits to a rival resort (shhh, don't tell anyone it's Scarborough) we noticed they don't have a bus station either, but a system similar to our resort with stops on main streets with what seems like the main public transport (bus) rank directly outside the railway station. While it's not known if they too have any controversy over the non-existence of a bus station, the system works on the same lines as ours.
When we had the bus station (Talbot Road) it was literally a dump – dismal, a cold hole, open entrances at each end and so cold in winter someone's frozen food shopping wouldn't have defrosted left there!
Then passengers were always being intimidated by someone boozed up to the hilt, and nearly always a beggar asking for money going from one waiting passenger to another. It made you dread having to catch a bus or alight there.
A brand spanking new bus station would only end up the same because there'd be no security, it would be designed to supposedly counteract any concerns, but wouldn't work and to be honest, I don't miss having one.

Blackpool cannot be same as Manchester
I have two points to make in response to Mr Ellis's letter about going to Manchester to see the tram system there (Your Say, Gazette, September 26).
Firstly, Manchester is a bigger city, and the track that is being put in place runs a lot further, offering a better transport system for passengers, whereas Blackpool's track is no doubt less than a mile in length. Why would that benefit passengers?
Let the taxis have the business, or simply put a bus shuttle service in place. If it was to stretch further through the centre of Blackpool towards Poulton, that would be a different ball game.
Secondly, congestion on roads in the town centre are horrendous – where would the traffic go with the track in place? There is also a need to make more roads back to two way.

It's time Remainers stopped whinging
Barry Freeman, whoever he is, seems to be delusional regarding Brexit ('The numbers don't add up on Hard Brexit', Gazette, September 26).
The fact of the matter is that in the referendum on June 23, 2016 the British people were asked a very simple and unequivocal question "Remain or Leave?".
This was to ensure that the public knew exactly what they were voting for, and it was agreed by all parties. The public voted leave, and if Mr Freeman is not sure what that means, I can enlighten him: "Remove oneself from, an association with, or participation in."
I can also advise him that many people's decision to leave has been taken over decades and not, as he incorrectly assumes, during the six-week campaign. I have seen Blackpool and the UK (apart from London) decline markedly over the last 40 years.
And as for democracy, the British people have given the British Government the mandate (approval) to leave (by definition) by a substantial margin – that is the democratic wish of the British people and must be endorsed in full.
Anything less than that would be grossly undemocratic.
It's time Mr Freeman and his ilk accepted the will of the British public, accept the democratic referendum decision, and stopped whingeing.

Thanks to all you Great North runners
I am writing to offer my congratulations to all of the amazing runners who made the Great North Run such a huge success.
I especially want to say a massive well done and thank you to the 310 brave runners who ran in Team Diabetes UK. Their fund-raising efforts will help us to fund vital research, campaign on key issues, and offer education and support to more people who are living with diabetes.
Tens of thousands of people took part in the world famous run, which took in views of the iconic Tyne Bridge, the tilting Millennium Bridge and The Sage in Gateshead as part of the 13.1 mile route.
Diabetes is a serious condition but the right support at the right time helps people to manage it and live long, healthy lives.

It's time to speak out on 'illegal' war
It has now been acknowledged that a British drone was involved in the 'accidental killing' of 62 Syrian soldiers, accusations are being made that once again Britain is at risk of fighting an illegal war in the Middle East.
At the same time, former Prime Minster David Cameron has been slammed by the Foreign Affairs Select Committee for carrying out "an opportunistic policy of regime change in Libya" which has made matters worse, not better. Mr Cameron should be held to account.
The likes of former Labour MPs David Miliband and Neil Kinnock, who have made such a good standard of living out of being members of the Labour Party, should also be speaking out too instead of perpetually making criticism of Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters.

Larger, obese, chunky, cuddly, fat, big boy - call it what you will.
I've searched many a thread on various Alton Towers / Non-Alton Towers forums ahead of my visit to AT yesterday on the subject, being in the category myself
It was interesting and somewhat concerning reading different people's experiences, two people I'd find with seemingly very similar measurements had very differing experiences at AT with regards to what they were / weren't able to ride. I didn't find a shed load of recent threads / posts so thought I'd detail my experience for any other people searching for the same as me.
I'm about 5ft 10in tall and weigh approximately 18st 9lb. 2 weeks before the visit it was 6lb more than that but thought I'd better try and shift some weight off. My chest measurement is about 48.5" with a waist of 42" - 44".
I was nervous queuing for some of the rides I have to admit. The problem with me is I tend to bury my head in the sand a bit. Whilst there are test seats for some rides I feel squeezing into one whilst hoards of people walk past is a little embarrassing in itself, so I avoid them. For the same reason I also swerved asking the ride attendants to point me towards the 'big boy seats' if the ride had them because I was too embarrassed. Whilst neither of these are more embarrassing than a 'walk of shame' I did my usual burying of the head in the hope of avoiding all 3 potential blushes.
Anyway onto the rides themselves....
Spinball - I didn't even go there. It was a squeeze when I last went 3 years ago and I know I'm a stone or two heavier than back then so I was satisfied that even attempting this at my size was an absolute non-starter.
Oblivion - This was the first ride of the day for me. My previous research suggested that some (but not all) of the trains had a bigger seat on row 1, but not being sure and not wanting to ask I just had to hope for the best. I was seated on the front row in the nearest seat as you board. I pulled my restraint down as far as you can yourself but the seatbelt was comfortably short of reaching in. The ride attendant got the restraint down 2 more clicks but the belt was only half into the buckle. By placing her foot on the front bar and pushing down she was able to get it down *just* enough to click into place. Phew! If I was literally 1lb heavier I'm convinced I'd have had to get off.
Thirteen - Unfortunately didn't get to go on, I was on pram duty with our little one so sat this one out.
Rita - I have to admit I was a worried for this because having barely got on Oblivion my research had suggested Rita was less forgiving than Oblivion and there are no larger seats on Rita. So having not used the test seat, nor asked an attendant I hoped for the best but expected the worst. To my surprise however I the restraint came down OK and the belt clipped in with room to spare and all was good!
Air / Galactica - Wasn't aware of any larger seats on Air, but not wanting to ask anyway just hoped for the best. Was seated on the front row on one of the middle two seats and got on fine, needed a shove to get the required click on the restraint but was fine.
Nemesis - I'm aware that Nemesis does have some bigger seats but as per just kept my mouth shut and hoped for the best. Was seated on the 7th row, 2nd seat across as you board. This ended up being similar to Oblivion, in that I couldn't clip the belt in without some assistance from an attendant. She had to give it a real good push to get it down enough to clip it into the buckle although probably not as much as was required on Oblivion.
Smiler - All my previous research suggested that Smiler has the largest capacity restraints on the park which proved to be accurate as there was no shoving, shuffling or pushing required. Restraint down and on our way.
Despite it raining for most for the day on all of the rides that we went on I took my coat off so was only wearing a T-shirt. Not sure how much difference this makes but given how close Oblivion was I'd say it might have just made the difference!
Hope someone finds this post useful. Mixing my research and own expereince I'd say there's definitely no hard and fast rule when it comes to weight / chest size and success, I guess it varies on how and where different people carry the weight but having just squeezed on a couple of the rides, some people may be able to use me as a benchmark!

Los Angeles, CA (PressExposure) April 19, 2008 -- iolo technologies, a Los Angeles-based software company, has launched a redesigned corporate website, featuring upgrades to its home page and global navigation.
The new home page reflects iolo's focus on PC Tune-up and offers fewer but clearer paths to popular pages on http://www.iolo.com.
Site content is organized in common-sense categories. Revamped global navigation makes it possible for customers to view any major page with a single click, and dropdown menus offer shortcuts to all product pages, free trials, tech support, and press information.
"We hope to guide customers to the right information faster," said Peter Losh, E-Commerce Manager for iolo technologies. "Since only a handful of pages are responsible for most of our site traffic, we're making it a little easier to find the links to those pages."
The most-sought information on iolo.com resides in product detail and resource pages for System Mechanic ([http://www.iolo.com/sm/7/std]) and System Mechanic Pro ([http://www.iolo.com/SM/7/pro]), iolo's award-winning PC care utilities. System Mechanic is a dedicated PC Tune-up product, while System Mechanic Pro adds several layers of data protection with anti-virus software, a powerful firewall, military-grade data destruction, and several other security tools.
PC Tune-up refers to a category of products that maintain a computer system in peak running condition. All computers slow down with use as their owners install and uninstall software, add and delete files, and perform any of the normal activities that leave file remnants, fragmented drives, registry conflicts, and errors that impair PC performance.
Microsoft Windows has long included several basic performance utilities that clean up junk files and organize hard drive space. The best PC Tune-up utilities go well beyond Windows in both power and scope, resulting in performance close to the level of a computer just out of the box. iolo technologies, which has focused on PC Tune-up for nearly a decade, has emerged as the industry leader in this rapidly growing class of software.

'Skyline' Blu-ray Review
Just because you can make a flashy looking film doesn't mean it's a good idea to do so. The stench of The Strause Brothers' last movie (the abysmal Alien vs. Predator: Reqiuem) still lingers in the nostrils of franchise fans and genre enthusiasts, and while their technical talents are undeniable (the Chicago natives have lent their special effects expertise to everything from Aeon Flux to Avatar), they are clearly not competent enough as storytellers to direct. That didn't stop them from helming their very own "passion project," a large-scale alien invasion flick on a shoe-string budget. Though their ambition is commendable, their movie Skyline is not.
What looks like a $100 million summer-style blockbuster on par with the best creature features in recent memory is rendered ridiculous by the absurd screenplay from writers Joshua Cordes and Liam O'Donnell. That's not to mention the razzie-worthy performances from the entire cast; a D-list ensemble including Eric Balfour, Donald Faison and a whole lot of eye candy. The story is short, simple and requires absolutely no thought whatsoever; chances are if you are actually sitting down to watch Skyline you either weren't planning on using your brain anyway or were required to screen the film (like me).
The only thing this movie had going for it was its digital effects and creature design, neither of which is original but is striking enough to engage the viewer on the most basic level. Therefore, I expected the studio to cram the Blu-ray with one hell of a making-of documentary and a ton of behind-the-scenes featurettes, interactive materials, etc. Something, anything to entertain me more than the half-assed feature. Yet the bonus content is bare-bones, with nothing more than a handful of extended/deleted scenes that should've stayed on the cutting room floor (the virtual cutting room floor, that is) and filmmaker commentaries in desperate need of visual companionship, like, say, in the form of a making-of documentary! Perhaps there's a reason for the lack of special features; maybe there just wasn't anything else to explore. Or maybe the critical response to the movie was enough to force the Brothers Strause into temporary exile, which is exactly where Skyline belongs.

Hempstead, NY (PressExposure) June 11, 2008 -- The National Fire Protection Association has acknowledged the Dryer Vent Wizard for their support in promoting fire safety to consumers who own clothes dryers. Besides being the largest nationwide chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alterations specialists in the US, they also provide education and fire safety awareness to consumers on the maintenance of their clothes dyers and venting systems.
When dryer vents are clogged, clothes dryers do not operate efficiently. Eventually, it takes several cycles to properly dry a load of laundry and consumers often believe the dryer is just wearing out. They are not aware of the danger of lint clogged vents causing poor air flow, overheating, and ultimately starting a fire.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes supports the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in fire prevention awareness efforts by sponsoring Dryer Vent Safety Awareness Month in February. DVW has developed a downloadable video, brochures and a free dryer vent safety check kit, that can be used by community groups to create awareness of dryer vent safety. Go to [http://www.dryerventwizard.com/ventcheck_request.htm] for a free dryer vent safety check kit.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes Safe Homes is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alternation specialists in the U.S. with nearly 50 franchisees in major markets in the U.S.

Your Insider's Guide to A Splashing Great Time including an Annapolis boat rental
Summer in Annapolis is a water lover's dream and an Annapolis boat rental is the perfect way to see the Chesapeake Bay. Whether you're looking to take a scenic boat rental, embark on a sunset sailing adventure, or simply coast through this historic colonial seaport, we've got everything you need to plan your journey. See a list of upcoming Annapolis events happening this summer.
Known as America's Sailing Capital, Annapolis is as famous for its crab cakes and lighthouses as it is for its 533 miles of shoreline. As one of the most historic places in the United States, Annapolis is home to more surviving 18th century architecture than any other city.
Set sail along Chesapeake Bay, paddle along the shore, or simply grab a drink and watch the stunning boats go by. There is so much to do and see in Annapolis!
Historic & Sunset Boat Tours
History buffs won't want to miss the opportunity to learn about this unique maritime town and seaport aboard a historic boat tour. Sunset on the water is equally remarkable. Grab your favorite drink and relax as you watch the sun descend over the Annapolis skyline. With so much to see, boat tours are a great way to experience all that Annapolis has to offer.
Paddling & Kayaking
There is something unforgettable about getting acquainted with a place by paddling or rowing through its waterways. With over 533 miles of shoreline, the scenery as you paddle around Annapolis is breathtaking. There is plenty of time to take it all in and witness nature up close. Perhaps you will experience the tranquil stance of a Blue Heron before it takes flight, or admire the diversity of aquatic and wetland plants as you wind through the waterways.
Wind Or Kite Surfing
Thrill seekers looking for a bolder adventure will certainly find it. Select parks offer launch points for both wind and kite surfers. What's even more convenient? Your bird-watching friends can also launch their canoes and kayaks from these same points. Afterwards, you can all meet up at one of the many great restaurants or bars in and around Annapolis to share your adventures.
Boat Shows in the Sailing Capital of America
There is a reason Annapolis is known as the Sailing Capital of America. With a long history of delighting boating enthusiasts across the globe, Annapolis provides plenty of opportunities to admire cutting-edge boat designs and stock up on sailing essentials. Annapolis boasts the nation's oldest in-water boat shows, with events happening every fall and spring and catering to over 150,000 attendees from around the globe. Find all the information for Annapolis boat show dates and to purchase tickets to upcoming events.
Historic Sights
Don't miss the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, where nine exhibit buildings proudly display the history of Chesapeake Bay. The museum's largest permanent exhibit, At Play On The Bay, explores the bay's history over the last 100 years as it has shifted from a place of work to a place where people come for fun. Be sure to catch the Small Boat Shed exhibit, which displays a variety of small working and recreational watercrafts, as well as skiffs used for oystering, fishing, and crabbing.
The Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse is a National Historic Landmark, one of only ten lighthouses in the country to be bestowed this highest honor. It is accessible only by boat. The Thomas Point Shoal lighthouse dates back to 1824 and guards the entrance to South River, where it still stands in its original location. Public tours are conducted every summer.
Wednesday Night Sailboat Races
If you're visiting between May and August, you won't want to miss this! Grab your favorite drink and a cool dockside seat to watch as over 150 crews compete in this fun, mid-week celebration. Participants sail around the bay before heading back for a grand finale in front of the Annapolis Yacht Club.

When you think of Chloë Sevigny's wardrobe you're probably imagining a Narnia of the most enviable '90s fashuns and vintage classics.
When you think of Chloë Sevigny's wardrobe going on sale, your instant reaction is probably to crack open that piggybank.
Owning anything in Chloë's closet is a dream many of us have put to bed. However, rekindling this dream is stylist Hayley Wollens. Wollens shared a pic on Insta with a bunch of clothes racks and some very distinguishable bunny ears, tagging Chloë Sevigny on them and stating:
"SAVE YOUR LUNCH MONEY, KIDS. Something very major is happening soon in NYC."
Everyone: *moves to New York*
The details of this major happening haven't come to light yet and the post has since been deleted. But if you're in NYC, or know someone in NYC, or will move to NYC, be sure to grab a piece of this enviable archive.

Overlake Medical Center was the first Level III trauma center on the Eastside and is known for providing award-winning, high-quality, compassionate care.

Using the HIMSS Analytics EMR adoption methodology, hospitals can track theirprogress in completing eight stages (0-7) toward creating an advancedelectronic patient record environment.
Electronic medical records provide both care providers and patients a more efficient way of sharing information that can lead to higher-quality, more efficient care.
Stage 6 hospitals:
Stage 6 hospitals have also achieved a significant advancement in theirIT capabilities that positions them to successfully address many of the currentindustry transformations, such as meaningful use criteria in the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act, claims attachments for the Health InsurancePortability and Accountability Act, pay for performance and government qualityreporting programs.
Overlake Medical Center started its EMR adoption efforts in 2013.
"Having a robust electronic medical record is an important investment for our patients and our providers," said Overlake Vice President of Clinical Integration Richard Bryan. "Our efforts put forth to attain HIMSS Stage 6 position us to better partner with our patients, providers and other health systems as we all navigate an increasingly complex healthcare landscape. These efforts also demonstrate the dedication and hard work of our providers and staff, all of whom support our mission of providing medical excellence every day."

text: The European Commission on Monday took the official decision that it no longer considers it necessary to pursue the "trade defense investigation" into Chinese telecommunications equipment.According to a Commission statement, "intensive discussions between the Commission and the Chinese government were concluded by an amicable settlement" on the issue.Settlements were scored in talks on Saturday at the European Union (EU)-China Joint Committee, chaired by EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht and Chinese Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng.In procedural terms, the investigation concerns the decision in principle made in May 2013 of opening an ex officio anti-dumping and an anti-subsidy investigation concerning imports of mobile telecommunications networks and their essential elements from China.An ex officio trade defense action allows the European Commission to launch a trade defense investigation on its own initiative without an official complaint by the EU industry.The Commission's latest decision on dropping the anti-subsidy probe came after in March this year the Commission repealed the part relating to the anti-dumping investigation."Together, these two decisions mean that the investigation into mobile telecommunications networks from China will not be pursued," said the Commission statement.EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht said: "I am pleased that the EU and China have resolved the telecoms case. The concerns that have led us to launch the case last May can now be addressed in a systematic and regular dialogue between the two sides for the benefit of our industry."China exports telecommunication network equipment to the EU market with a value of approximately just over 1 billion euros (about 1.28 billion U.S. dollars) per year.

OAP jailed for sex assault on woman in her hallway
A 72-year-old man who sexually assaulted a woman in the hallway of her home while delivering a Chinese takeaway has received a 13-month sentence.
Belfast Crown Court heard Craig Wright, from Co Antrim, was caught carrying out the offence on August 5, 2015, by the woman's 14-year old daughter, who returned home to witness her mother being attacked.
While carrying out the sex assault, Wright called the woman a "sexy wee b****".
After leaving the scene, he returned to the house a short time later to inform the woman's daughter that he had seen her missing dog, which she had been out looking for, at the top of the street.
Originally from Carrickfergus but now living at Browns Bay Drive in Islandmagee, Wright was told by Judge Patricia Smyth that he will serve half of his 13-month sentence in prison, with the remainder on supervised licence upon his release.
He was also made the subject of a five-year Sexual Offences Prevention Order.
Wright carried out two sexual assaults on the woman in her Co Antrim home.
After he called at her door with her meal, the woman invited Wright to wait in the hall while she got her purse.
Once inside, Wright asked if the woman's children were home. When she said no, he grabbed her by the throat, pinned her against a wall and sexually assaulted her.
As he was in the process of carrying out a second sexual assault, the woman's teenage daughter - who had been out looking for her dog - returned with her friend and witnessed the incident.
During sentencing, the court heard that the woman described what happened to her as "painful but short-lived."
A defence barrister said that his client came before the court with a clear criminal record.
Citing the incident as a "one-off", the barrister described what Wright did was both "shocking" and "out of character."
The barrister also issued an apology on behalf of Wright, who said he recognised the hurt he had caused both to the victim and to his own family.
Pointing out the "distressing offences" were committed in the victim's own home, Judge Smyth said: "Children were exposed to shocking scenes of the victim being assaulted in her hallway."
Judge Smyth said that despite his guilty pleas, Wright had "demonstrated a lack of insight", especially regarding the impact this has had on his victim as he initially "blamed her entirely" for what happened when he was first arrested.

Oh, the Battle of Little Bighat. Say hello to the Mustard's Last Stand beanie! You might recall, I was really jonesin for a yellow slouchie beanie. Oh yeah, I made it happen!
I can't wait til it is actually cold enough to wear this out on the town! I used a K hook (my favorite and first hook!) and added fpdc and bpdc in rounds to 81. Once I hit a desired length, I tapered back to 63 alternating fpdc and bpdc for a ripped edge. Oh oh oh I love it!!! Currently working on another slouchie beanie for an awesome friend with some cable stitch. I can't get enough of cabling and frontposts!

How does geothermal heat work to heat and cool my home?
A: A geothermal system takes advantage of the earth's relatively
constant ground temperature to provide heating, cooling, and hot water. It moves heat that already exists. In the winter, the system collects heat from the ground and carries it through the system and into the indoor air delivery system. In the summer, the system reverses itself to cool the building by pulling heat from the building and depositing it in the ground.
For more details go to IGSHPA.
Q: How much does a GHP system cost?
A: The initial investment for a GHP system is greater than that of conventional systems...roughly $6,250 for a 2.5 ton unit. By comparison, the least expensive alternative would cost around $4,000. But when you consider the operating costs of a GHP system, the initial difference in purchase price is quickly offset by energy savings. Properly installed systems will operate (and save energy) best.
Q: What other costs are there?
A: The installation charge for the electrical work, ductwork, water hook-up, and other provisions or adaptations to your home that are required will be estimated in advance by your installer. Prices may vary. Its cheaper to get it done right the first time, rather than have shoddy work initially, which will give you a sub-standard system.
Q: What about comfort?
A: A GHP system moves warm air (90-105 F) throughout the building via standard ductwork. An even comfort level is created because the warm air is moved in slightly higher volumes and saturates the building with warmth more evenly. This evens out hot or cold spots and eliminates cold air blasts common with fossil fuel furnaces. You will have the MOST even temperatures throughout if the system is designed and installed by a reputable contractor, who uses extra supply vents and extra return air vents.
Q: What are the environmental benefits?
A: GHP systems conserve energy and reduce the amount of toxic emissions in the atmosphere. They use renewable energy from the sun, and because systems don't rely on outside air, keep indoor air cleaner and free from pollens, outdoor pollutants, mold spores and other allergens.
Q: Are GHP systems difficult to install?
A: Most units are easy to install, especially when they are GHPs which can be installed in areas unsuitable for fossil fuel furnaces because there is no combustion thus no need to vent exhaust fumes. Ductwork must be installed in homes without an existing air distribution system. The system will perform best with properly installed ductwork.
Q: Will my existing ductwork function with this system?
A: Yes, in most cases. Your installer will be able to determine ductwork requirements and modifications. A good installer will check the ductwork, and improve upon it if needed.
Q: Can I install a ground heat exchanger myself?
A: It's not recommended. In addition to thermal fusion of the pipe, drilling and trenching are procedures best handled by licensed professionals with a good reputation. Other installations may result in less than optimum performance, which could cancel out anticipated savings.
Q: Do freezing conditions create any problems?
A: Not if a system is properly designed and installed.
Q: How can I be sure the pipe is installed properly?
A: Use a reputable contractor. Get references.
Q: Will an underground loop affect my lawn or landscape?
A: No. Research has shown that loops have no adverse affect on grass, trees, or shrubs.
Q: How does a GHP system heat water?
A: Using what is called a desuperheater, GHPs turn waste heat to the task of heating hot water.
GHP Inc. has a special method of saving you even more on your hot-water costs.
Q: Is it advisable to install a GHP system large enough to handle my total heating needs?
A: Your installer should provide a heating and cooling load calculation for your equipment. Careful planning is important, to make sure the system fits your lifestyle and your home, for optimum comfort.

Athenian John David Kasay began his record 20th season with the Carolina Panthers with a bang Sunday against the New York Giants.
The former Georgia Bulldog booted three field goals (of 21, 52 and 42 yards) and one PAT.
Kasay began his pro career with Seattle in 1991 and joined the Panthers in 1995.
In four years at Georgia (1987-90), he scored 217 points and was 79-for-82 PATs.
Kasay in 1996 kicked 37 field goals - then an NFL record. He still holds two NFL single-game records: most field goals over 50 yards (three) and most field goals in a game over 46 yards (four).
He played in the Pro Bowl in 1996.
At the University of Georgia, he majored in journalism. He is married to Susan Dianna Weddle, a former UGA majorette. They have a son, John David Jr., and a daughter, Marie.
Kasay's father, John Paul Kasay, was a star guard on Georgia's 1966 team, and later served as assistant line coach under Vince Dooley.
As a boy, John David lived with his parents at old McWhorter Hall, then UGA's dorm for athletes.
In 1985, John David helped Billy Henderson's Clarke Central Gladiators win the state title with a 54-yard FG against Warner Robins.
Kasay is one of three left-footed Georgia place-kickers, along with Kim Braswell (1970-72) and Billy Bennett (2000-03).

Tuf Powersports of Dekalb, Illinois has announced their plans to support Sean Hamblin for the 2008 Outdoor Motocross series. The former Suzuki factory rider has recently returned home to the US after a year in Europe competing in the FIM World Championship MX2 class.
"I wanted to put something together so he could get to the races" stated Tuf Powersports Andy Stacy. As a member of factory Maico, Husqvarna and Team Tamm in the 1980's Stacy can relate to the ups and downs of professional Motocross and the struggles to find support and competitive equipment.
Hamblin noted, "Thanks to the RacerX Films last week I have gotten in contact with Andy and he's going to be my biggest help and supporter to return to racing in the US aboard a Yamaha YZ 450F. I have been in Florida for a bit now, training and riding with a great friend; Grant Langston. Together with Josh Grant and Will Hahn we've got our own little click and push each other throughout the week. I am really looking forward to Glen Helen in May and I want to thank Andy and everyone at Tuf for all their help."
Andy continues "Sean is a good guy, I believe he is the real deal and last year in Europe was good for him. It will be cool for us to help him out." In addition to providing bikes and parts to Hamblin Tuf will also cover entry fees and assist with additional expenses.
Hamblin will bring along his mechanic from England and Active 8 has stepped up and agreed to haul Sean's bike to the races and allow him to work out of their truck. Check out www.tufpowersports.com for updates.

Clarins for Men Skin Difference 2
The first double-action pre-shave and skin conditioner which, for best results, you apply each night.
1 reviews from the community
Review of "Clarins for Men Skin Difference 2"
"Expert Moisturizer"
Clarins Men Skin Difference is a product designed for two purposes:1. To soften facial hair and slow down new hair growth, which is intended to make shaving much easier
2. To moisturize the skin and revive dull skinI bought Skin Difference a few months ago for £26.50 from Boots, after seeing an advert in Men's Health. I had shopped around but all Clarins products are the same price in each store, so I opted for Boots because you get Advantage Card points also.
The box Skin Difference comes in is quite large for the size of the product, which is a small pump action container, with two chambers for each of the two liquids, each chamber containing 15ml. £26.50 is expensive for moisturizer, but I think it is worth it.Skin Difference comes with a couple of instruction books in multiple languages which you should read. However if you can't be bothered the main point to take away is that you should apply this at night, just before going to bed.
The substance itself is not a cream, more like an oil or gel. It is clear and colorless in appearance and smells OK. You don't need to put much on; a couple of pumps will do.In terms of results, Skin Difference does make a difference. It does make shaving slightly easier, and does make hair softer. Skin looks revitalized and you face looks fresh.
Overall, for me, Skin Difference is worth it. Although it is expensive, the fact it slows down facial hair growth is unique and gives this product a boost over its competitors.However this product assumes that you shave in the morning and that you will apply Skin Difference at night. If you don't do these, you will have to change you routine to suit, otherwise Skin Difference 'will not be as effective'.
