WR Braylon Edwards signs with San Francisco 49ers
Danny Tuccitto (Football Outsiders): Some may view the Edwards signing as San Francisco's desperate attempt to fill a hole at No. 1 wide receiver created by Michael Crabtree's never-ending foot injury. The truth is that, as a group, the 49ers' wide receiving corps has been among the worst in the league since Terrell Owens left in 2004. Indeed, over the past seven seasons, San Francisco's 16 qualifying wideouts had an average DYAR ranking of 62, with none ranking higher than 25th. So, regardless of whether or not Crabtree misses time, Edwards is a valuable addition.
To be sure, though, expectations should remain low. Edwards is now four years removed from his lone Pro Bowl season, there are two stone hands attached to the end of his arms and he'll have either Alex Smith or rookie Colin Kaepernick throwing passes his way this season. Nevertheless, he's only had one negative-DYAR season in his career, and he ranked 35th last season, which makes him better than almost every San Francisco wide receiver in recent memory.
S Donte Whitner signs with San Francisco 49ers
Aaron Schatz: Hey, now that Whitner is out of Buffalo, maybe one of the other defenders in front of him will tackle a runner every so often. Last season, Whitner made 94 run plays (tackles or assists), 25 more than any other safety in the league. Whitner wasn't playing up close to the line -- he made those tackles after an average gain of 8.3 yards. In other words, he just had a lot of cleanup to do in Buffalo.
Whitner is not the best pass-defender in the world, but he is a good tackler and should help the 49ers. Our game charters marked Whitner with only four missed tackles last season, which is an impressive number given his 96 solo tackles.
DT Ty Warren signs with Denver Broncos
Rivers McCown (Football Outsiders): Warren was a very good run-stopper for the Patriots, but there's no telling whether he'll be able to be the Warren of old for the Broncos. Missing entire seasons at his age is usually an indicator of the end of a career, and given the Patriots' track record with employing older defensive players like Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison, one would have to think that they wouldn't have released him if they thought he could be more than a contributor this season. If Warren does bounce back for the Broncos, it's a great signing for a team that desperately needs some big bodies on its interior line.
The Broncos are on a real youth movement, though, even going as far as to target first-round washouts like Derrick Harvey and Amobi Okoye in free agency to see whether they could turn them around. If you follow that path, this move doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Nor does giving Warren $5 million guaranteed. He could help improve the Broncos' run defense slightly, but he won't be doing it for long.
TE Zach Miller signs with Seattle Seahawks
Rivers McCown (Football Outsiders): If the Tarvaris Jackson experiment fails in Seattle, it probably won't have anything to do with his supporting cast. Miller is an ideal safety valve for the Seahawks, though he can obviously run routes deeper than that as well.
The lack of solid quarterback play really hurt his overall numbers in Oakland, and while his targets will probably drop a bit in Seattle, the chances he gets should be of higher quality. The fact that Miller is still just 26 should help as well, as Seattle now has a pair of solid young receivers (Sidney Rice is the other) in place for the next few years.
If the Tarvaris gamble doesn't work out, the prospect of throwing to Miller and Rice should draw the interest of some better quarterbacks. At five years and $34 million, with $17 million guaranteed, it's hard to say this deal was a bargain, especially for a tight end.
Seattle did well to continue building their franchise for the long term, but it may have overpaid. Never get into a bidding war with Al Davis if you want a bargain.
DT Aubrayo Franklin signs with New Orleans Saints
Rivers McCown (Football Outsiders): New Orleans had a fairly successful run defense last year. In fact, it was No. 1 in the NFL at stopping runners in power situations, by our statistics. But with the addition of Franklin, the Saints are now the owners of some serious beef in the middle.
Between Sedrick Ellis, the newly acquired Shaun Rogers and Franklin, they could create some really interesting fronts in running downs and goal-line packages. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is considered one of the more creative coordinators in the NFL, and he should be able to do some pretty out-of-the-box things with these guys if that is his endgame here.
On paper, it's a strange move, because it would seem like there are a number of better fits for Franklin around the league and the Saints already had a pair of nose tackles. However, New Orleans deserves the benefit of the doubt considering what they've done with their defense since Williams took over, and it's likely a bargain contract since it was reported as only a one-year deal.
Perhaps this signing is a precursor to an Ellis trade?
RB Ronnie Brown signs with Philadelphia Eagles
Danny Tuccitto (Football Outsiders): You know how sometimes you go to the grocery store, grab everything you went there to buy, but then end up adding a pack of gum, a magazine, or the latest issue of The National Enquirer while waiting in the checkout lane? (What's another buck or two, right?)
Well, Brown is Philadelphia's Bubblicious. There's really no other way to explain the signing of an aging, injury-prone running back who averaged only 3.67 yards per carry last season.

Preview : Defending champions aim for safe start
Features : It's cricket over romance for Briggs
News : Pietersen talks ongoing - Cook
Players/Officials: Danny Briggs | Stuart Broad | Jos Buttler | Andy Flower | Kevin Pietersen
Series/Tournaments: ICC World Twenty20
Teams: Afghanistan | England
Stuart Broad needs no reminding of the shock of a World Twenty20 defeat against a minor nation as he prepares to lead England against Afghanistan at the R Premadasa Stadium. He bowled the final over in the first Twenty20 international ever staged at Lord's three years ago and fell to his knees and held his hands to his face in despair as Netherlands won the game off the last ball.
It was the sort of over that must still be scarred in his memory. Netherlands needed seven to win and as they scrambled five from the first five balls, Broad missed two fleeting run-out chances and a return catch. With two needed from the final ball, Edgar Schiferli hacked the ball back, Broad collected in his follow through but his throw missed once more and Netherlands grabbed victory with the overthrow.
For more scarring, consider Broad's previous experience in World Twenty20. On a balmy night in Durban in 2007, Yuvraj Singh struck him for six sixes in an over. As ball after ball disappeared into the night sky, it invited concern so early in his career that, at 21, he would ever fully recover.
Now here he is, sharp and confident, captaining England in a major tournament. England's coach, Andy Flower, has identified in him the sort of attributes he thinks a T20 captain needs: intelligence, quick-wittedness, a willingness to act on instinct, adventure and aggression. Broad's early cricket experiences might have destroyed him but he had too much dog in him to let it happen.
He agreed with the suggestion that adventure is part of his make-up, an example perhaps of how much more aggressively cricket would be played if more bowlers were made captain. "I like to take wickets and see wickets and chances," he said, "and I think in T20 cricket you have to risk a boundary to take a wicket. As a bowler I think I am more wicket-based than some.
"If someone wants to try to hit a spinner over mid-on, with the ball turning away from the blade, there is a chance of taking a wicket. I think with the heavies - myself, Finny, Jade, Bres - it is a great shot for someone to stand and belt us over mid-off from a heavy length so maybe keeping mid-off up is an option."
As Broad captains England in a major tournament for the first time, it will be intriguing to observe him. The desire to succeed burns within. Alastair Cook, who has replaced Andrew Strass as Test and one-day captain, is an equable sort who would benefit from a passionate vice-captain, officially or unofficially, and Broad can advance his candidature over the coming weeks.
Afghanistan revealed enough against India to warn England that they are immensely dangerous. Warm-up wins against Australia and Pakistan will count for nothing when Shapoor Zadran is flinging down his fast left-arm at close to 95mph or Mohammad Shahzad is unveiling his Dhoni-style helicopter shot.
"It's all about winning," he said. "It is a proud moment to lead England out any time you do and on a world stage it gives it an extra oomph as well but it will be down there with the biggest lows if we don't win.
"Any international you have to be on top of your game. Look at the times we haven't been. Ireland took us down in a 50-over game and the Netherlands took us down as well. The shorter the game the more dangerous these teams are and Afghanistan aren't going to hold back with the bat, put it that way. It will be important we keep our cool."
|"In T20 cricket what you did in January is pretty irrelevant form-wise, let alone what you did two years ago. The game evolves so quickly. It's all about who turns up for the three weeks of the tournament" Stuart Broad
Broad talking of the need for people to keep their cool has a certain irony to it, but he has matured since those early days when everybody was on the lookout for the merest hint of petulance. A reputation for stroppiness is barely half the story; he has the ability to be charming and polite. As a cricketer, his batting has not developed and at times his bowling this summer was disturbingly down on pace, but he has shown a capacity to learn and, as his figures reveal , his ability to lift his game at crucial stages is undeniable.
As England's T20 captain, he also knows in every media conference he fulfils it will only be a matter of time before he is asked what he thinks of Kevin Pietersen (about two seconds on this occasion, which is par for the course).
It was a neat exchange.
Questioner: "What have you made of Kevin on the telly?"
Broad: "I've got this Formula One game at the minute. I'm a bit addicted to it, so I've not seen anything."
At last, against Afghanistan on Friday night, England will have reached the point where the situation is reversed: Pietersen, shunned by England, is to his great chagrin the TV pundit; Broad, his computer game safely packed away for a while, is the captain who must plan without him. The more appropriate question from now on is what Kevin Pietersen thinks of Stuart Broad.
Broad steeled himself to watch Afghanistan lose to India on the TV and, considering his history, there were enough times when Afghanistan came close to an upset that he must have been reaching out insecurely for his F1 game long before the end of the game.
England are in Sri Lanka as defending champions and ranked No. 1 in T20 cricket yet few people confidently predict that they can win the tournament, especially in the absence of You Know Who. Morale plays a high part in T20 and, as Jimmy Eat World once sung, Broad's young team are not about to life their live wondering; they are on their feet, on the floor and good to go.
"I don't think being defending champions puts added pressure on us," Broad said. "In T20 cricket what you did in January is pretty irrelevant form-wise, let alone what you did two years ago. The game evolves so quickly. It's all about which team turns up for the three weeks the tournament is on. It's very hard to pick a winner, a favourite. It's all about who turns up on that day. There are some exciting, strong teams around.
"I'll be captain for a month and it's brilliant. You get to know your players a lot better and get to see everything in a lot more detail. That's actually given me extra excitement because before this I didn't know loads about Jos Buttler or Danny Briggs. They come in and do things that excite you as a player. The important thing in a tournament is to have belief in your team-mates so to have a month together and see what guys do in training and games builds up that belief."

Here's a round-up of some post-emergent products to help you improve the look of your customers' lawns.
Arysta LifeScience Xonerate
The pitch: Xonerate Herbicide doesn't just manage or suppress Poa annua, it eliminates it.
• Studies have shown XONERATE to be 90 percent effective in controlling Poa annua.
• By eliminating Poa annua, you're also eliminating the time and expense of trying to manage it.
• Xonerate can be used as a post-emergent control for smaller percentages of Poa annua, while transitioning to desirable turfgrass.
For more information: www.arystalifescience.com
Bayer Tribute Total
The pitch: Bayer's Tribute Total is an herbicide that provides LCOs a complete solution for post-emergent treatment in bermudagrass.
• The combination of active ingredients in Tribute Total replaces the need for tank mixing multiple products to achieve desired weed control.
• Tribute Total is effective against a broad spectrum of grassy and broadleaf weeds, sedges and kyllingas.
• The post-emergent herbicide controls problem weeds such as dallisgrass and crabgrass, as well as yellow and purple nutsedge.
For more information: www.BackedbyBayer.com
FMC Blindside Herbicide
The pitch: Blindside herbicide is a postemergence herbicide offering a solution for weeds like doveweed, dollarweed, buttonweed and sedges in warm-season turf.
• Offering Transition Zone flexibility, Blindside can be applied to most types of warm-season turfgrass – even St. Augustinegrass – as well as Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue.
• Dual-action Blindside works through both foliar and root uptake to deliver faster control of more than 70 broadleaf weeds and sedges.
• Blindside can also be applied in warmer temperatures without causing additional stress to turf.
For more information: www.fmcprosolutions.com
Quali-Pro Negate
The pitch: Negate 37WG's synergistic formulation allows turf managers to control more than 35 grasses and broadleaf weeds in Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass.
• Inhibits the growth enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), providing post-emergent control.
• Also controls problematic grasses such as POA, and ryegrass as well as broadleaf weeds.
• Attacks grasses and weeds systemically, moving through the plant by absorption through the foliage and roots.
For more information: www.quali-pro.com/negate or call 800-242-5562.
Valent SureGuard Herbicide
The pitch: SureGuard Herbicide from Valent Professional Products controls weeds and enhances knockdown performance of glyphosate when used as a tank mix partner, even on glyphosate-resistant weeds.
• Now SureGuard is available for dormant Bermudagrass applications.
• When applied in the late fall to dormant Bermudagrass, SureGuard provides preemergence and postemergence control of Poa annua and a broad spectrum of winter annual broadleaf weeds.
• When applied in the winter to dormant Bermudagrass, SureGuard offers outstanding preemergence control of challenging summer weeds like goosegrass and crabgrass.

Daughter of Columbia bicyclist files lawsuit
The daughter of a Columbia bicyclist killed on I-70 near mile marker 130 last October has filed a lawsuit in Boone County Court.
36-year-old Ennis Patrick was killed on October 26, 2013.
Columbia Police conducted a 2 month investigation into his death.
The investigation concluded, "it was likely the bicyclist was in the main-traveled portion of the roadway when he was struck by a semi truck."
The lawsuit alleges that the truck driver left the main roadway and ran onto the shoulder of the highway.
The lawsuit said Patrick was hit on the shoulder, and alleges the truck driver was speeding and was "fatigued or impaired."
The 7-page lawsuit was filed Thursday by Columbia attorney Matthew Woods, and names the truck driver and his employer,
YRC, Inc.
The Police investigation determined there was not probable cause to believe there was a criminal offense committed by the truck driver.

Allentown High School class celebrates 75th reunion
Updated On: Sep 20 2013 06:06:22 PM CDT
It's event that you have to be in your 90s to even think about.
The Allentown High School class of 1938 came together Friday for their 75th reunion.
Eighteen members of the class had a luncheon at the Ham Fam restaurant in Allentown. They reminisced about the good-old-days and looked at some of the old newspapers from when they were in high school.
Of course, the classmates said a lot has changed in 75 years.
"You could buy a bedroom suit for $88. You could get a loaf of bread for seven cents. Gasoline was like 29 cents a gallon and houses, you could buy for $3,000."
The classmates said they are grateful to be able to attend what has become a yearly celebration.

In a year when local bands have formed new partnerships or reconstituted old ones through DIY festivals, home-grown record labels and subscription seven-inch series, the sheer scope of Eric Hall's Site/Sound project demands respect. For the past year, experimental instrumentalist Hall has been in residence at Laumeier Sculpture Park in south county, and Site/Sound is the summit of well-directed risk-taking for both the artist and for the park. For the project, Hall recruited more than 70 local musicians and bands to write and record songs based on individual installations. Patrons are invited to experience the songs either from a park-provided iPod or through their smartphones' QR scanner. The cultural double-whammy of walking around that jewel of a park while listening to adventurous and challenging music is in itself an exercise in engaging a specific landscape while listening to new frontiers. (The free exhibit runs through October 21.)
Sampling the mix on Hall's Bandcamp page is a kind of cheat; these songs are constructed in conversation with the installations at Laumeier and deserve that open-air experience that the project was designed around. But because Hall was nice enough to stream them for free (and because it would take the better part of a day to experience all the songs and sculptures in full), Site/Sound works as a stand-alone document. Even though most bands stay within their respective wheelhouses, the variety and shared sense of outré music-making results in a purposefully scattered and meandering program.
With 81 tracks collected, one can only take cursory swipes at the whole series. The Pat Sajak Assassins' "Flooded Chambers Maid" approaches its sculpture (a multicolored platform and bleachers that play with symmetry and shape) with a chromatic, tempo-shifting heaviness. Appropriately enough, CaveofswordS chose the stone grotto-like structure The Spring House, hidden in the park's wooded trails; the accompanying track is suitably airy, wordless and haunting. Kevin Harris takes the playful smiley-face earth-bound piece Face of the Earth #3 and turns it into a chopped-and-screwed exercise in robotic prurience. Spelling Bee takes the same sculpture and whips barbed wire around it. That two acts can take the same, seemingly straightforward work of art in such varying directions is proof enough of the larger project's success.

THAME to: A41 (BICESTER ROAD)
Absolutely blinding route, though a litte short at around 7-8 miles, but can be done extremely quickly. There are 3-4 tight s-bends and loads of top sweeping left and right bends and undulations. The quality of the road surface is good and consistent apart from entering and leaving the 2 small villages on the way. This route is best ridden from A41 Bicester road site to Long Crendon and Thame, especially when youve just watched a super-bikes race. PLOD: Not a sniff S-CAMS: Not a sniff DANGERS: Railway track crossing after a high speed bend (about 2/3 left hander) coming from A41 side, but no need to slow down for the actual crossing it's self (smooth baby). BIKE USE: Loads on a good day (lot's of fun)
Portrush to: Larne
This is THE great biking road for those of you returning from the North West 200 to the ferry at Larne. Although it has, I think been nominated in 1997, it is well worth reminding any UK riders of it. After the races, take the A2 for Bushmills, home of the famous whiskey, and then follow this road from Bushmills to Ballintoy, passing the world famous Giants Causeway on the way. Well worth a visit. The A2 leaves Ballintoy heading for Ballycastle and along the way you will see a sign for Torr Head. This is a coastal road, and while it affords great sea views, it is not really suitable for sports bikes as it is very narrow and steep in places. Probably better to stick with the main road, which crosses over some high ground before descending into the village of Cushendun. Over the mountain top you will see plenty of sheep grazing along the roadside, but worry not, they are well used to traffic and wont even turn their heads as you go zooming by! A good fast smooth road links Cushendun to the slightly larger Cushendal, and from here the best bit begins. Down along the coast with the mountains on your right and the Irish Sea on your left. Its smooth, fast and frantic. Through Glenariff, on to Carnlough, where you can grab some grub, and on through Glenarm and Ballygalley into Larne where the P&O ferry to Cairnryan awaits. For those of you taking the Stena ferry to Stranraer, it is probably best to take the A8 to Belfast. It is possible to carry on the A2 to Belfast, but it is quite built up, with lots of traffic and the possibility of speed traps. Probably better to take the A8 the 20 miles to Belfast, but keep a good eye out for police on this road, as it is the main route to Larne Harbour and the cops are on it regularily. Enjoy!
Rye to: Brenzett
A great road in good condition with lots of smooth corners. Can be fairly busy in the summer months due to tourist traffic.
Northallerton to: Northallerton
The beauty of this route is that it can be started / finished anywhere round it. Its about 70 miles long (or round !). Leave Northallerton on the A168 heading south toward Thirsk. Once you're out of Northallerton, loads of long straights with some great sweeping corners. Follow the road signs into Thirsk, turning left at the r/about, signposted A170 toward Scarborough. Great approach road to 1 in 4 Sutton Bank climb. Watch out for the sharp right hander at the top. Very easy to get carried away blasting to the top ! Cafe & parking at the top. Great smooth roads accross the top, BUT watch out for Plod. Very easy to go very fast on this section (as if !). Great long downhill section with a sharp left hander at the bottom.
Into Helmsley. Loads of Cafe's & Pubs to take your pick from. Then the best bit. From Helmsley, head along the B1257 toward Stokesley. Absolutely brilliant stretch of road. Watch out for the off camber right hander at the bottom of Bilsdale Bank, near to the old red telephone box. But BEWARE, this section of road is regularly quite heavily Policed (especially at weekends) with Plod in all manner of disguises, carrying all sorts of unfriendly Biker 'weaponary'! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !
Stop off at the Bay Horse at Great Broughton. Great Biker friendly country pub. Carry on thro' Great Broughton down to the r/about. Take the 2nd turn off into Stokesley. Left at the next r/about. Great Fish & Chip shop on the right as you enter Stokesley. Thro' Stokesley following the road signs for Hutton Rudby. Just out of Stokesley, look for the 1st right turn opposite a Farm & head towards Seamer. Great 'B' road which is usually quite quiet. Thro' Seamer & another village, Hilton, until you reach the A1044. You'll know you're in the right place cos' the Fox Covert Pub is directly in front of you (another excuse to stop ?). Turn left onto the A1044 heading towards Yarm. Down & up Leven Bank until you reach a r/about. Straight on heading west on the B1264. Lots of straights, twists & turns. Another excellent section. Turn left at the 'T' junction at the end, heading back towards Northallerton on the A167. Enjoy ......

KUALA LUMPUR: Getting into a car, starting the engine and driving off is a simple everyday task for many, but for Siti Zuraidah Muhammad Husain, who was born paralysed from the waist down – it is a triumph.
For 14 years now, the senior executive would wheel herself out of her house and push herself into her tiny car, before single-handedly dismantling and stowing away her wheelchair and starting her journey to work.
She drives a modified Perodua Kelisa that has hand controls to allow her to accelerate and brake without using her feet.
Though Siti Zuraidah has a family who would happily chauffeur her around, the 32-year-old says its a joy to do it on her own and prove that her disability does not make her a lesser driver.
Siti Zuraidah was named one of the most responsible drivers in the country by the police during the Ops Selamat 4/2014 road safety operation.
"Given my condition, the most important thing for me is my safety on the road. So I try my best to keep to the speed limit and signal. But it is scary sometimes because other people let their emotions affect their driving.
"They don't pay attention to the OKU (disabled) sticker on my car and drive fast to cut in front of me abruptly.
"A lot of people do not like to follow the traffic rules," she said.
Siti Zuraidah was one of 50 drivers who were given the Drivers With Integrity award by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar during a ceremony at the KL Sentral station yesterday.

Rizzo Powers Cubs to WinMIAMI (AP) - Anthony Rizzo had two home runs and four RBIs to power the Cubs to a 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Friday night, giving Chicago back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Rizzo's second career two-home run game gave him eight on the season, the most by a Cubs left-handed hitter in April. Billy Williams (1970) and Henry Rodriguez (2000) each hit seven.
Scott Feldman (1-3) allowed two runs in 6 2-3 innings, Kevin Gregg recorded his second save, and Darwin Barney had three hits for Chicago, which beat Miami 4-3 on Thursday and had been 0-6 following a win.

Monterey school bus driver arrested
Updated On: Nov 01 2013 11:51:08 AM PDT
A school bus driver who works for the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District was accused of molesting two young girls who rode on his bus, police said.
VIDEO: Monterey school bus driver arrested
Carlos Domingo Rodriguez III, 31, of Salinas, was arrested Wednesday when he arrived for work at the school district's bus yard at 540 Canyon Del Rey in Monterey.
"Police arrested an MPUSD school bus driver for annoying or molesting a minor, lewd and lascivious acts on a minor under 14 years old, and for threatening to commit further crimes against the minor," Lt. Leslie Sonne said.
The investigation on the bus driver began Tuesday when two girls said they were molested on their school bus by Rodriguez.
Rodriguez's bus route included the North Monterey area near Montecito Park and the Casanova Oak Knoll neighborhood.
Rodriguez was booked at the Monterey County Jail and is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.

To say Mark Coleman knows how to fish is an understatement. Coleman, the owner of All Rivers & Saltwater Charters, has mastered the art of side drifting, float fishing, hover fishing, back bouncing, and jigging during his more than 10 years exploring the Pacific Northwest's waterways. In the process, he earned captain certification from the US Coast Guard, a distinction also earned by each member of his team.
Aboard vessels that range from the 29-foot Reel Tight to a 16-foot, nonmotorized drift boat, Coleman and his staff lead chartered fishing trips through fresh- and saltwaters. All Rivers & Saltwater Charters have caught fish on the Columbia and Olympic Peninsula rivers, traveled the waters outside Anacortes and the San Juan Islands, and explored Puget Sound. Voyages pursue salmon, steelhead, lingcod, sturgeon, and other types of fish. The team can also lead fishing lessons for newbies, teaching essential fly-casting techniques, including the correct grip, the different casting styles, and how to use homemade tiramisu as bait.
Founded in 1994 by veteran anglers Hugh Pastoriza and Peter Corbett, Creekside Angling Company provides a one-stop shop for fly fishermen to gear up and plan tours of the Northwest's bountiful waters. Though the shop stocks a variety of top-notch equipment, from Sage rods to full fly-fishing outfits, the duo's greatest asset is the expertise of its staff. Hugh spent many years of his life fishing for more than 100 days a year, hitting waters all over Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Peter began fly fishing at age 9, and he turned his favorite pastime into a career upon moving to the Northwest in the 1980s. Together, they use their combined knowledge to lead guided trips into the waters of Yakima River, the Snoqualmie, and anywhere else steelhead rainbow trout hold their electoral caucuses.
Now in its 32nd year, the Lake Union Boats Afloat Show gives guests the chance to check out hundreds of seaworthy craft, including sailboats, yachts, and trawlers. The more than 50 brands of yachts on display will include Bayliner, Westport, and Sunseeker, with roughly 30 vendors of insurance, maintenance, and other supplemental services on hand to help boat owners protect their investment. Attendees will also get to climb aboard and inspect the 64-foot Ocean Watch—which circumnavigated the Americas for a year in support of oceanic health—and discuss the epic voyage with the crew, as well as take part in interactive activities.
Poking the water with long, stringy lines is the easiest way to access the rich fecundity of the underwater realm. Emerald Water Anglers teaches pupils what it takes to establish a quiet communion with beautiful aquatic bodies by instilling the basics of various casting methods and how to assemble a rod and reel. The two-hour single-handed group casting clinic provides students with all the equipment required and an instructional guide whose friendly nature embodies the calm serenity of this maritime sport. Small classes of up to six people give participants plenty of individualized attention as they learn the techniques behind overhead casting and roll casting, teaching their limbs the maneuvers required for future competent fishing ventures.
Eli Rico spends more than 300 days a year on the river, guiding his clients on their quest to land salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and trout. Whether hitting up Skykomish River in the autumn and winter for steelhead as big as 30 pounds, angling for Chinook salmon in the Columbia in the spring and summer, or fly-fishing for trout on the Olympic Peninsula, Rico has the expertise to help clients bring home the swimming bacon. Beyond simply catching fish, he also offers on-water classes that cover boat handling, reading water, and other essential fishing skills.
The son of a Navy officer, Mike Ainsworth spent much of his childhood island-hopping across the South Pacific. Regardless of the shore on which he landed, the budding fisherman celebrated the opportunity to test its surrounding waters for fish. Now, Ainsworth shares his passion and expertise for fishing on his guided trips. He tailors expeditions for beginners—teaching tricky maneuvers such as fly-casting and testing fish's ability to grant wishes—and whisking groups to the best fishing spots in Washington State in his stable Hyde Professional Series drift boats.
Over the years, Ainsworth has helped tykes reel in fish that matched their height and watched amazed as a 78-year-old guest singlehandedly reeled in a 4-foot-long king salmon. Despite his own quest to mark off elusive prey from his personal fishing list, Ainsworth maintains that his favorite part of his fishing expeditions is the look on guests' faces when they reel in their very first catches, a moment he often captures on film.

We've got at least a day to spare in a business trip to Barcelona.
We're planning a 2 hr walking tour of the Barrio Gotic, then onto the MNAC for a couple of hours (pretty much the longest I can stay in a museum before Museum Head kicks in) with the Romanesque stuff. Probably an hour or so at the Boqueria in between. We've got to be at the airport by 1830, so that pretty much wraps the day up
We're both pretty Gaudi-ed out, and I've never seen the point of the Ramblas But in the possibility we get an extra half day to ourselves, I thought maybe the Museu d'idees i invents de Barcelona and maybe the Archaeology Museum.
Food, what we call pre-Reformation art (I'm seriously allergic to anything Spanish post about 1550, though Mrs F quite likes some of it if it doesn't bring out her Inner Prod too much) and the odd bit of eccentricty. The Museu de la Xocolata doesn't appeal.
Anything I'm obviously missing? Staying near Zona Universitaria metro

And why again are you in Barcelona?

Have you been to Palau de la Música Catalana? If not, I recommend taking the 50 minute guided tour (English tours on the hour from 10:00 to 15:00). You could pair it with a look at Santa Maria del Mar (in Riberia/Born), a beautiful Gothic church and some strolling through Born.
I haven't been to Museu d'idees i invents de Barcelona. If you go there, I'd be interested in reading your thoughts on it.

The Museum of the History of Barcelona gives access to the underground remains of the Roman city, which I found very interesting.

I found the museum of the history of the city of Barcelona fascinating.
They have a huge underground excavation (several city blocks) showing how the shops and homes such were arranged in Roman times. A really interesting presentation of how people lived back in the day.

And the Boqueria has much more than vegetables. Just the candy displays are worth a visit. Not to mention the exotic spices, cheeses, etc. etc.

Or you could visit the neighborhoods of Gracia and/or Sarria, which are off the beaten path. Fewer tourists & more locals. In Gracia, there is a lovely square with a church surrounded by restaurants/sidewalk cafes where you could have lunch.

Because I won't have time to go the farmers' market at home on Sunday, and the price of Iberico round here is shocking. Are you suggesting I shop at Carrefour?

Also found the history museum (capxxx mentioned it) very interesting.
If proximity to the hotel is a factor: the Monestir de Pedralbes is somewhat nearby. Though not exactly in walking distance.
The (somewhat) new Arts Santa Monica center (Rambles/ near Columbus column) is probably too contemporary but for free. The current exhibitions are quite interesting.
For the sweet tooth (if applicable): Escribà (cakes, pastries, chocolates; near Boqueria on the Rambles).
I don't know if the food at the Boqueria is the best you can get. You probably pay more for location as so many tourists go there from the Rambles. A less quaint alternative is the Mercat de Sant Antoni, currently in makeshift quarters 10 minutes from the Boqueria, near the MACBA, once the covered market get renovated. But I did not find the food less appealing.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for your suggestions.
I was wrong on two counts
I'll admit to being underwhelmed by the suggestion of the City Museum. I've been round more Roman excavations than many of you will have had decent hot dinners.
I was flabbergasted. The best explanations anywhere of Roman winemaking and its textile industry, an extraordinarily far cry from most Roman town sites - and a fascinating variation from how Barcelona, New York, London and Liverpool decide what a "museum of the city of..." is there for. Odd really: the Met, the BM and the Louvre are almost identical. "Museums of the city of..." give themselves utterly different jobs
I also forgot I wasn't Gaudi-ed out, because we'd never been inside Sagrada Familia. Gobsmacking.
Honestly the most astonishing place I've been to for years.

Sadly, ran out of time for the Museu d'idees i invents de Barcelona.

Glad we could come up with something to flabbergast a guy to whom old Roman stones are commonplace.
My favorite bit of information from the tour through the ruins under the streets of Barcelona: in Roman Barcelona, people left containers in the street outside their homes with the expectation, indeed the hope, that passers-by would urinate into them. The urine was then used to disinfect and clean the laundry, mixed with ash and lime.
To someone who has seen more Roman ruins than I've had decent hot dinners, this might be old news, but I don't believe I'd heard that particular information before. Fortunately none of our neighbors followed that policy when my husband decided to leave a toilet we didn't need out by the curb in the hopes that somebody might take it.
But I digress.

Well an easy excursion to Montserrat - the fabled pilgrimage mecca just outside of Barcelona would be an option - take a commuter train to Montserrat then a funicular or cableway up to the perched on a mountain holy shrine - nice walks, including one of the Way of the Cross. And you can queue to glimpse the famous Black Madonna as well in the ornate sanctuary church.
Report Abuse
I'm not showing off (not much anyway). But human and animal urine was part of the fulling process round here for part of the Middle Ages. What fullers didn't have to do here, though, was pay the Barcino Colonia council for the right to use the piss from passers by.
Probably yet another example of the split between the grape and grain culture. In our predominantly beer-drinking society, where people didn't dehydrate much, a few pints a day probably meant the fuller and his team generated enough urine by themselves.
In Barcino's wine drinking universe, if people dehydrated as much as I did climbing up Montjuic, the fuller probably needed all the extra wee he could find.
Anyway: thanks again to you all for suggesting it.
FWIW, the Romanesque wallpaintings at the MNAC were also gobsmacking. The Gothic stuff was eye-opening: utterly different from what was going on in Italy (and is now preserved in London, Paris and New York) at the same time. Sadly, though, so awash with bling as to bring out the Inner English Prod in even the most pious Irish Catholic.
Report Abuse
I agree, having been inside Sagrada Fmailia a week ago, was gobsmacked too. However, we spent several hours doing a food tour of chocolate shops, patisseries, and the Boquerria market which was almost as good. For those of us who love food, it's a real experience - even if we are used to French markets, as I am.

Flanner, you would FIT RIGHT IN anywhere on Las Ramblas given your predisposition for the outrageous.

I second the recommendation for the Palau de Música Catalana. It's stunning.

"given your predisposition for the outrageous."
I have never seen anything remotely outrageous - or in any way noteworthy - on the Ramblas.
Just another tacky and pointless street that tourists, for some utterly incomprehensible reason, have been told's worth walking along.
Piccadilly Circus without the good taste.

Shop: Spring forward
Story by Sara Nunn
What's on the horizon for spring style? See our photo feature on page 32. Meanwhile, Wendy Albert has a few ideas too. She's a shopping pro, senior director of marketing for Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, and was recently named one of In Business Las Vegas' "40 under 40." As the shops start hauling in the latest looks, she's got an early eye on this season's style.
Favorite spring trends? "Nautical stripes on shirts, pants, and skirts and in different widths to accentuate the best parts of your body. Lace is also an easy thing to add to your wardrobe to wear now, and when the weather warms up. Pair a lace top with jeans, wear a lace dress with tights or beautiful lace shoes with just about anything."
What trend will last through the summer and fall? "Seventies glamour. Think high-waisted pants with flared legs and print blouses with ties during the day, flowing gowns in fabrics with sheen for the evening."
What new pieces do you recommend for shoppers on a budget? "A white dress - in lace if you're daring. An oversized men's-inspired shirt, especially in a sheer fabric for layering. Platform wedge heels in a neutral shade. Coral makeup, especially nail polish or a sheer lip gloss."

Government must hold home care system accountable: Editorial
Early hospital discharges leave patients vulnerable when their home care promises don't materialize.

On a good day, Evelyn Tenenbaum would be the sort of patient the Ontario government likes to trot out as an example of its home-care success. Senior and sick, the government press release on Tenenbaum might have said, "Elderly woman has back surgery and gets early hospital release to recover in the comfort of her own bed while under the caring gaze of a provincially funded home-care worker." If only that were true.
In the real world, Tenenbaum's story unfolds like this: widow in her 70s has two vertebrae removed at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and is discharged with the promise (from her neurosurgeon) of immediate home-care services but instead spends five days begging for help. However shocking, Tenenbaum's predicament is not unusual. Across Ontario, stories of an inflexible, infuriating and unresponsive system are tragically common.
Despite pumping $2.1 billion into home-care services to treat 637,000 clients last year, Ontario's system is clearly broken. Combine that reality with an aging population that is being discharged from hospitals "sicker and quicker" and disaster awaits.
As the Star's Theresa Boyle reports, it was the responsibility of the Central Community Care Access Centre to coordinate Tenenbaum's home care and yet nothing happened until the fragile woman complained to her local MPP, Conservative Peter Shurman. Finally, five days after leaving the hospital (and two without eating), a worker gave her a bath — for a $30 fee. It took two more days before a CCAC coordinator appeared at her home for an intake interview. The following week, Tenenbaum received two visits from personal support workers who helped her bathe and changed her sheets. Clearly, this is not the home care Ontarians are promised when hospitals discharge them early.
If Tenenbaum's experience — and numerous other horror stories — indicate the future, then aging or infirm Ontarians are in big trouble. On a more positive note, Premier Kathleen Wynne said in her throne speech that she "understands the pressing need" to expand home-care service. Perhaps those were words from a minority leader to appease the NDP, which wants a maximum five-day wait for home-care services.
For Tenenbaum, those five days were far too long. But as NDP health critic France Gélinas says, it is one way to force the CCACs (and the companies that supply home-care workers) to account for the services the government pays them to provide. Measuring success — and failure — is a good start.
