Perini Navi launches 25m Eco Tender
Italian yard Perini Navi has launched its first 25 metre all-aluminium Eco Tender.
The motor yacht was launched at a ceremony attended by yard chief executive Lamberto Tacoli. When delivered, the yacht will be used as a supplementary vessel for a client who also owns a 52 metre Perini Navi sailing yacht.
The yard described the tender as "effectively a mini superyacht tailored to the requests of her experienced Perini Navi owners".
Speaking about the tender, Luca Boldrini, sales director of motor yachts at Perini Navi, previously explained: "The project grew out of discussions for a bigger sailing boat. What they really wanted was more flexible cabin space to accommodate single guests or children. As they prefer to anchor offshore, they also wanted to explore closer inshore in something more substantial than a conventional RIB."
The resulting super tender design inherits the Perini Navi style with graceful looks and comfortable interiors. Her lines come courtesy of the Italian yard's in-house head of design, Franco Romani and the high bulwarks mean that guests will be able to step straight onto the mothership.
Speaking at the launch, Tacoli said: "The classic exterior styling of the Eco Tender shares the same family feeling as Perini Navi's historic sailing fleet, right down to the dark blue hull and red load line."
He added: "As a boat designed and built with a yacht mentality that mirrors all the high-quality hallmarks of Perini Navi, this cutting-edge tender breaks new ground as the brand continues to refine its product range to meet the evolving demands of the market."
Accommodation is for up to six guests split between three staterooms, including a full-beam VIP suite, a double cabin and a bunk bed cabin, while the compact crew quarters can accommodate two people. Key features include a contemporary interior décor and a sunken foredeck seating area, which allows the owner to pursue his other passions of bird watching and nature photography.
Power will come from a diesel-electric drivetrain that comprises a pair of 1,627hp MAN engines twinned to Hamilton waterjets for a top speed of more than 30 knots. The owner can also opt for a zero-emission mode that uses a battery bank to power the waterjets — ideal for exploring marine parks or other environmentally sensitive areas.
Boldrini describes this system as a "first", adding that the impetus came from the nature-loving owner, who has a "huge respect for the environment".
Other hybrid superyacht projects currently under development at the Italian yard include the 42 metre E-volution, which was also recently launched.

At major championships, the women's equivalent of the decathlon is the seven-event heptathlon; prior to 1980 it was the five-event pentathlon.
Women's disciplines differ from men's in the same way as for standalone events: the shot, discus and javelin weigh less, and the sprint hurdles uses lower hurdles over 100 m rather than 110 m. The points tables used are the same as for the heptathlon in the shared events.
The schedule of events differs from the men's decathlon, with the field events switched between day one and day two; this is to avoid scheduling conflicts when men's and women's decathlon competitions take place simultaneously.

The kids at the Fox Hill School Kindergarten had a chance to create penguins, too! I was inspired by the class I took from Deep Space Sparkle to try this project with the Prek/Kindergartners. She had done it with first graders so I made a few adjustments to the process to meet the Kinders' needs. First they used tempera cake paints and water to paint a colorful, watery background for their penguins. While the background was drying they cut out the pieces of their penguins from construction paper.
Little ones tend to make very small pieces when left to do it on their own but I wanted them to have lots of practice with the scissors from this activity so I made the shapes for them to cut in advance. Then I had them use oil pastels to create an ice berg for their penguin to stand on.
After creating all the pieces it was time to glue them all down onto the beautiful backgrounds. Take a look at their fabulous creations!

This is my first garden. It's going to be corn heavy (using the 3 sisters).
I tilled my garden and then added 8-8-8 fertilizer and tilled that in. I bought a PH tester with the probes and it tested between 6 and 7 PH. I've planted my corn which I know is a heavy feeder. Was planning on adding Blood Meal when my corn got knee high.
So I bought a Mosser Lee soil tester at my local Lowe's. With the Mosser Lee Soil Tester it showed my PH was close to 5. My nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium test all came back clear. I tested it 3 times and always the same results. I take that as meaning that my ground is dead.
Is there any way to add nutrients to my garden after I have planted? My garden is about 5 days old now.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I wanted to write about something a little lighter, it's not all grim after all. And besides, I felt a little vulnerable after writing yesterdays post and wanted to write something that didn't engage so many emotions.
And then … that got knocked right out of my head.
This morning, on checking Facebook, I saw that someone had posted something to my page. There was a note saying that after yesterday's post, they thought that I should follow a particular link. Now, I do as much checking as I can when I get Facebook friend requests, because I don't actually know most people who are linked on that page. I look to see if they have a disability or have some other connection to the disability field. If not, I look to see what content I can from their pages and unless something sends up a red flag, I accept the friend request. So, this isn't someone totally random. This is someone willing to attach their name to the post they are tacking onto my page.
So, feeling safe, I clicked.
To a page extolling some weird diet product.
I wasn't expecting it.
I usually expect it, but I wasn't.
And it hit me so hard.
It doesn't matter if you turn the other cheek when the punch comes to the gut.
After all that I wrote yesterday, after trying to explain how certain responses are hurtful and mean and convey not support but prejudice.
This is what I got.
I don't usually do this, and maybe I shouldn't have, but I unFriended that person. I didn't even want to engage in a discussion.
It's hard to be heard.
Really heard.
When you are different.
When you are disabled.
People always talk about voice, when voice isn't ever the issue, it's never about me using my voice, it's your openness to hearing what my voice says.
Sometimes it's like screaming into a void.
I give up.

There have been many "challenges" circulating social media over the past few years. The newest challenge, which has been creating a frenzy of controversy, is the "paracetamol challenge".
On the one hand you have police and schools warning parents of this new social media dare and it's potentially damaging effects. On the other hand you have social media blowing up, saying that this challenge is fabricated.
The challenge is allegedly shared on social media and has resulted in one confirmed hospitalization of a schoolboy in Scotland. There seems to be little proof that this challenge has been spread aside from a few isolated cases. Following this incident, local police sent out this tweet:
"We've heard about the #paracetamolchallenge. DONT get involved in this. It causes liver & kidney failure … and death"
So what is the challenge? It is a challenge essentially encouraging young people to consume an excessive amount of paracetamol.
Paracetamol is one of the most commonly used painkillers in the world and while it is completely safe to take at the recommended dose, an overdose can result in liver and kidney failure.
There is little harm done in opening up a dialogue about abusing seemingly harmless drugs. Mandy Yousaf spoke up about her nineteen year old daughter, Charlotte, who died after overdosing on paracetamol in 2011. She urged others not to make the same mistake.
People may be up in arms about the precautionary warnings about this challenge, but there have been a slew of other challenges that have been damaging and even fatal to some individuals. A few of them are:
- Last year's Neknominate challenge which had five reported fatalities directly linked to it. It involved individuals chugging an alcoholic drink as fast as possible and was often accompanied by a reckless activity.
- The Kylie Jenner Lip challenge, from this year, which was essentially young people giving themselves a hickey with a shot glass over their lips. Many people experienced severe bruising and serious trauma to their mouths.
- The salt and ice challenge that left people with permanent scarring.
- The milk challenge that resulted in excessive vomiting.
- The cinnamon challenge that caused hundreds of people to be hospitalized with lung damage.
Considering the massive amount of foolishness spread on the internet, there should be no objection to calling out the paracetamol challenge on the off chance that it does become viral. Knowledge is power, and in this case could save a life.
The lesson to take from this is to communicate with your children. Be knowledgeable about what they're doing and give them the information they need to understand the potential long term consequences of participating in these passing "challenges".

There are no wedding vows in the Bible, although the vow made to her mother-in-law by Ruth perhaps sums up what should be the vow made by any couple to each other: "I mean to go where you go, and live where you live. Your people will be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I shall die…nothing but death will part us". More light-heartedly, until the end of the Middle Ages, the bride used to promise the groom "to be bonny and buxom at bed and at board". Perhaps one of the hardest things about writing your own vows is to strike a happy medium between these two examples! Before putting pen to paper, however, one of the most difficult questions to answer, although seemingly one of the easiest, is "What does marriage mean to me?" "Why do I want to be married?" To answer this you need to have a full and frank discussion with your partner. You may find, for example, that you both seek to grow in strength and understanding together, to share your joys and sorrows, to nurture your children, and perhaps above all to be the greatest of friends. Then you are ready to retire to a quiet place, free of distractions, reflect on your feelings, and write from the heart .
Be careful! Remember when you start that this is not the finished product. You may up with a mere list of ideas. Take heart! Not everybody can write deathless prose. There is plenty of time for editing, and it is a good idea to take a trusted friend into your confidence to bounce ideas off them. But whilst your friend may be able to give you fresh ideas, do not permit them to influence your own style. It is YOU who will be saying your vows, so try to avoid the stilted prose of a school essay written to be marked by somebody else. And whilst we are on the subject, practise! Practise until you sound as genuine as you feel! This is not as simple as it sounds, as any good actor will testify. If you want to be humorous, remember that it is not that easy to walk the line between gentle chuckling humour and slapstick comedy. Conversely, you should avoid the temptation to be so romantic that you descend into schmaltz. Your wedding day is special and personal and your vows should reflect this. In this regard it may be that you want to include brief references to experiences that you have enjoyed together in the past, but if this is the case try to avoid being obscure. A classic example of this occurred at one wedding when the bride looked adoringly at her groom and murmured "I am the gravy stain on your tie"! Much of the remaining ceremony was taken up with guests wondering what this was in aid of! If, however, you come up with something like "I will return your serves and do my best not to foot fault", everybody will know what you are talking about.
Perhaps mention should be made as to how you will deliver your vows. Will you learn them off by heart? Will you read them? Will you repeat them after the celebrant? The first two options permit you to be the most natural, but nerves might dictate that the third option is the most preferable. If you decide to learn them, make sure that the celebrant has a copy so that he/she can prompt if necessary. The last thing that you want to do is dry up!

Laid-Back Spaces That Welcome Family and Friends
Teals and turquoise and neutrals…oh my! Pops of refreshing colors and eye-pleasing contemporary pieces mixed with touches of traditional styling merge beautifully to create a sophisticated and relaxing great room designed for entertaining, trumping the formerly blah space. The living room takes front and center in this reno.
Pier 1 accessories and a stylish Wayfair bar in the dining area, along with a couple of interesting side-table vignettes strategically placed here and there, take this revamped gem to a whole new level for a couple in their '60s who had been living in their Babylon Village colonial cape for two years.
"They downsized from a larger house in Nassau and yearned for a home they could entertain in comfortably," says design pro Sandra Asdourian of Sandra Asdourian Interiors. "Crown moldings, high ceilings and a waterfront view from every window inspired us to go with a coastal transitional mix in this inviting great room."
She took advantage of the open floor plan from the kitchen, dining room, and great room with French doors opening to the balcony. Her clients use the combined spaces, with the dining room as a buffet and bar area, for their guests.
Neutral colors were used on walls, the floors were refinished, and beautiful area rugs were put down in the living room where classy furniture pieces spruce up the outdated décor.
"So many times, when designing a space for clients, there are several family members using the room for different functions," Asdourian notes. "The large sectional sofa is positioned across the room from a large TV for easy viewing. In addition, the arc lighting illuminates the sofa area perfectly for reading."
She adds: "Working with a beautiful view from the French doors, we wanted the seating to capture the outside, too."
The "wow factor" is obvious in this unique revamp.

Unlike those found in many other historic towns and districts around the country, the majority of Miyama's old houses survive as residential dwellings where people still live and work. In Miyama, the ancient culture is very much a part of everyday life, spending time here allows you to experience that culture first hand. The village "Miyama Kayabuki-no-sato" has 38 houses whose roof is thatched. This village itself is like a postcard! This in turn …

Each holiday arrives fresh and clean, without the stains of materialism to warp its meaning. With each impending arrival of (insert overblown holiday here) I breathe, and recite my mantra: "I will not overdo it this year. I will teach my kids the true meaning of this holiday, and give them a few small meaningful tokens to commemorate the ritual of (insert appropriate ritual here). This is not about plastic toys or sugar."
Today, the holiday into which I breathed this wholesome mantra was Easter. I think I was a little confused about my own intentions here, though, because as I walked through the toy aisles of TARGET (making sure everyone got even amounts of THINGS), I was determined to fill the baskets with toys instead of candy. So, um, I think I strayed a leeetle beet from the whole purpose of a minimalist holiday…yeah…
Anywho…this year the boys will be getting TOYS from the bunny, chocolate marshmallow things, fucking jelly beans, Ninja turtle and R2D2 shaped candy holder thingys, and
True story: I loaded up the belt with all of this crap and handed the Peeps back to the cashier,
"I'm not getting these."
"No peeps?!"
"Yeaaah, I need to dial it back a little."

Big Brother Is Watching
By Adam Sturrock
Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, PC
Watchdog's Aiden Pierce is not a perfect soul. With a press of an app on his phone, your bank details, browser history, messages and phonecalls are his. A vigilante hacker, Aiden seeks to avenge a family member's murder by any means necessary. Every shot fired and explosion caused is met without remorse and we soon begin to question his motives. While the game doesn't host a worthwhile protagonist in Pierce (arguably the supporting characters are far more interesting), it seems that the political message it contains seems to take a higher precedent.
Chicago is vibrant. So vibrant in fact, that when playing through the next generation version of the fictionalized city, I noticed the varieties of seemingly real life characters that inhabit the world. If Ubisoft's interpretation is to be believed, the Windy City is chock-a-bloc with perverts, cannibals and psychopaths. Behind closed doors, a man critiques potential dates by their potential of having sex with him, a woman casually stands above her lover with a gun while he sleeps and a couple have a Russian roulette fetish. As many people often say, "We have nothing to hide", Watchdogs laughs at this.
At mostly any point of the game, you can "profile" a walking NPC with Aiden's phone and listen in to their phonecalls and read their texts – discovering, intimately their inner most secrets that often, even their virtual families are unaware of. Some are funny in fact, one guy talks to another in excruciating detail about an unfortunate date that he had and these mini-stories seem to enliven the world in which we play in. The problem with this is that it seems to make any attempts at being serious uneven and also suggests to take a blind eye to the unethical surveilance techniques that seem the norm when only used by him. At a number of points in the game, you are able to view random snippets into people's homes that are being filmed by covert cameras and while Aiden gasps in shock at the nefarious use of technology by the Chicago government, we fail to scrutinize why we aren't questioning him as well.
Watchdogs allows a variety of methods to complete objectives, all of whom don't punish you for pursuing one way over the other. The games' stealth mechanics are satisfying, by sneaking up to an oblivious enemy you can club them over the head, leaving them unconscious or you can cause a power cut, bypassing any aggression if you so wished. The ability to look into people's history added a sense of scale to combat. When about to shoot a guy in the head, I felt a pang of guilt when I could see he was a new father, or less so when it told me that he was a pedophile. Very rarely does a game ask if the characters have a differing life value when compared to another. Arguably, the shooting aspects of the game were the worst, not that it was terrible; although there is a huge arsenal of weapons, I could mostly get by with a basic weapon from the early campaign and I rarely felt a difficulty spike – the incentives to upgrade seemed minuscule and each weapon could mow down enemies just as well as the others. The game suffers in this exact regard when driving cars: yet again, it offered me little incentive to buy my own motor when, more often than not, a sports car was parked around the corner to use for free.
What Watch Dogs nails are its sheer variety of engaging activities to complete. Instead of focusing on the main campaign, I spent hours of my time switching between QR Code scanning, – in which you hack cameras to line up fragments of code into an image – solving a serial killer case by finding audio logs scattered across the map or trying to investigate a trafficking ring – the problem at the end of those however, was that the final missions of each didn't seem to tie up things satisfactorily. In fact, a large portion of my satisfaction centred around the collection of the many audio logs in the game. While many people will overlook them due to not being compulsory to the plot, it really added depth to the supporting characters of Watchdogs – one collection from Aiden's family murderer actually managed to blot the lines between black and white and make me feel sympathy for his actions.
Another collection of optional missions – the digital trips – could have easily have been sold as a separate game in its own right. Surprisingly, the best of the bunch involved you playing as an arachnid-tank, battering buses and the police, scaling buildings and piercing helicopters with your mounted guns (yeah, it sounds absurd but god, it is fun!).
Moving on to the actual campaign. Minus the side missions it took me something like 15-20 hours to compete (but I'm a wee bit meticulous so it might be a little bit shorter). The entire campaign settles on the aforementioned Aiden Pierce, a late 30s-ish aged hacker who is out to get everyone in Chicago, for sometimes really vague reasons other than justice. I often felt that he was just a caricature, a highly skilled nobody who modeled himself off of the Dark Knight trilogy, to the extent that he uses a chain smoker growl in all altercations with people and which very quickly grates on the ears (WHERE ISSHHH SHEEE!?!?!). The real intrigue comes from the supporting characters: Clara Lille, a Québécois punk-hacker phenom; Raymond "T-Bone" Kenney, a southern lunatic, alcoholic; and Jordi Chin, a calculating, unhinged gun for hire. After spending a whole story campaign with Aiden, I came out with little additional knowledge about him, which made me want to know why we weren't given one of the other cast members as the playable character (DLC notwithstanding). For the most part, I actually enjoyed the campaign. Watchdogs offers a variety of mission types: from car chases to home hacks to "The Raid"-style hotel assaults to the top floor.
Throughout the game, unless you opt out, you are forced to take part in online missions. Whenever another player tries to contact you or steal your information, you have to stop what you are doing and try to find him – one time, while trying to start a new mission, the game forced me to find the player and blocked me from doing anything else. For me, who largely wanted to focus on the offline missions, this became annoying and frustrating.
From the Rossi-Fremont slums to the Upper class streets of Chicago, Watch Dogs always has something to do. While many have unfavorably compared this game to the lofty standards of GTA V, Watch Dogs to many extents can battle with the best of them.

Although there are many things we could add to the list below. As a former recruiter, I feel like these are some of the most important areas to keep in mind before any travel assignment! (email me if you have some tips of your own!)
(1) Background/drug screen: An unexpected hit on a criminal background report will likely result in contract cancellation. If a charge has been expunged it may still show up in a background check and/or delay the processing of a license. Talk with your recruiter in advance if you're concerned about any background issues. (Note. The Board of Nursing may not allow for a temporary license to be issued in some cases which will greatly increase the processing time for license issuance). Together, you'll need to come up with a realistic timeline for starting a new position if obtaining a new state license is required. We suggest you also mention to your recruiter any prescription medications you're taking as this may delay processing of your drug screen results. This is particularly important if you're starting a contract on short notice.
(2) Poor fit for unit: Gather all relevant information your agency has about a position before sending your file. Have a list of questions for the manager to be sure you get the information you need about the unit and can gauge whether your experience is a good fit for their opening. Ask in advance about any on-site testing which may be required. Check out our Preparing For Your Travel Nursing Interview article for additional tips!
(3) Personality conflict: Maintain a positive and professional attitude in all situations, particularly those in which you disagree with a staff member. Articulate your understanding of the situation and make sure there is not a miscommunication. If differences of opinion are not resolved through communication seek assistance from another supervisor or manager. Remain professional in your interactions and contact your agency to discuss the situation. A good agency will work with you to identify tips for handling the situation and/or establish a plan of action to address your concerns if deemed appropriate.
(4) Unable to locate suitable/affordable housing: Before your file is sent to the hospital for review be sure to research the area to determine whether suitable housing options are available. Your agency should be able to provide a list of options they've used in the past and/or understand the likelihood of finding suitable housing in a given area. The more remote the location is the more likely housing will be difficult to find and keep in mind there are some parts of the country where housing costs are considerably high. If you're accepting a position based on your ability to find housing with a specific budget in mind invest the time to find it before committing.
(5) Compensation: Before your file is sent to the hospital request a written breakdown of the pay package from your agency. Ask about cancellation policies and guarantee of hours in advance, and fully understand the consequences if you are called off or miss a shift due to illness.
(6) Paycheck concerns: Discuss the timesheet process for the hospital so you know your responsibilities to insure you are paid on time. Confirm your agency has received your timesheet each week (some agencies will actually notify you). Facsimile technology is not reliable. Utilize an app, like CamScanner, to convert photo images of your timesheet to PDF and send to your recruiter or agency as directed.

WASHINGTON — Kirk Cousins, the Washington Redskins' quarterback, stood atop the Nationals' dugout in full baseball gear on Friday to rouse the crowd for its playoff opener.
He twirled a red rally towel above his head. He smiled sheepishly and shouted, "Play ball!"
On a day when their Nationals played the Los Angeles Dodgers — and lost — to begin a National League division series, the 43,000-plus people packing the stands didn't go wild for their hometown football star. Instead, they let out muted cheers mixed with boos.
Given the reshuffling hierarchy of sports teams in this city, the reaction of the fans made perfect sense. These days, this longstanding football town is beginning to look an awful lot like an up-and-coming baseball town. And why not?
Here in Washington, where nothing ever seems to get done just blocks from Nationals Park on Capitol Hill, a similar lack of productivity has befallen the Redskins, who have had just three winning seasons in the past 10 years.
The Nationals have been a different story.
In the past five years, Washington's baseball team has captured three division titles. The Nationals have had big stars, and kept them. Bryce Harper is only 23, and one of the best position players in the majors. Max Scherzer is one of the game's best pitchers, even if he faltered against the Dodgers on Friday in a pitching-duel-gone-bad against Clayton Kershaw.
Off the field, the Nationals have also gotten things done. They arrived here in 2005, filling a 33-year void created when the Senators bolted for Texas. Then they opened a stadium in 2008 in the Navy Yard, a waterfront neighborhood within walking distance of the National Mall. Before the stadium was built, it was a no man's land filled with car repair shops, dump-truck repositories and asphalt factories.
"This was the worst part of town, oh, my God," said Mark Lerner, a Washington native and one of the Nationals' owners. "They used to have every piece of junk here you could imagine, and we're proud of how we've helped changed it."
With Nationals Park the anchor for renewal, the Navy Yard is morphing into a gleaming hangout for Washingtonians, with new restaurants, hotels and apartment buildings popping up on nearly every street corner.
Just this past season, a hotel rose beyond center field, and fans now watch games from its rooftop. From the stadium, you can see a slice of the Capitol — for now. The view has been compromised by giant cranes and a rising skyline.
By the time the All-Star Game is played here in 2018, the neighborhood is expected to be resplendent with even more businesses. And if the Nationals continue to win, the sport's popularity will benefit from it. That's one way to change the sports culture of a town.
All that sparkly stuff aside, you can say that baseball already lived deep in the heart of this city.
After several attempts in the 1800s for a major league team to catch on in the city, baseball truly arrived here in 1901 when an early incarnation of the Senators was a charter member of the American League, long before the Redskins showed up in 1937. Frederic J. Frommer, author of "You Gotta Have Heart," a history of Washington baseball, told me that the city was enthralled with the Senators in 1924, when the team won its only World Series. He said people gathered at downtown banks to watch games unfold on a Play-O-Graph, a machine that showed scores and players' movement on the field.
"The fans were crazy back then, and now, sure, I think baseball could someday become football's equal here," Frommer said. "But I don't see it ever superseding football. Well, maybe in 50 years."
But who knows what will happen to football, a game struggling with a concussion problem? Some fans are already leaving the sport. Around here, some have defected from the suburban Redskins, back across the D.C. line to the Nationals.
At Nationals Park on Friday, I spoke to fans about their team loyalties. Lloyd Brown, from Bethesda, Md., and his son, Jake, said they were excited to play a role in baseball's rebirth here, noting that they had even witnessed the beginnings of the Nationals' cheer: "N-A-T-S! Nats! Nats! Nats! Woo!"
"We saw it happen in Section 309, maybe 310, and we were a part of it, which was pretty amazing," Lloyd Brown said. "As a baseball town, Washington is really starting to build a great tradition."
Also at the game were some former die-hard Redskins fans. They once held season tickets for the team, but no more. Some had been chased away by the racist name, or by the owner, Daniel Snyder, who is just about universally reviled in these parts. Then there's the tiny fact that the Redskins' last Super Bowl victory came after the 1991 season, and that since then they have had at least 24 starting quarterbacks, and only six playoff appearances.
Three years have gone by since Paul Ravenscroft, an accountant from Olney, Md., saw his last Redskins game from his family's seats. He said that his grandfather bought Redskins season tickets for the team's first year in Washington and that attending games had become a family ritual. But tickets were now too pricey, and traffic made each game day too long — about 10 hours long.
So the family gave up the season tickets, and about 80 years of allegiance went kaput.
"My family and friends just weren't into it anymore," Ravenscroft said.
You know what would keep family and friends into the Nationals for the long run? Winning a World Series. What better way to secure a lifelong fan base here, and maybe, just maybe, surpass football in popularity?
Yet that's where the Nationals, no matter their regular-season successes, have come up short. They haven't advanced past the first round of the playoffs. As preseason favorites to win last year's World Series, they failed to make the postseason at all.
Tanner Roark, a Nationals pitcher, said it "irks a lot of guys" that the team hasn't advanced deeper into the postseason.
After the 4-3 loss in Game 1 on Friday, you could feel the frustration in the Nationals' clubhouse. Outfielder Jayson Werth, moping at his locker, said playoff games were the only ones worth anything. First baseman Ryan Zimmerman said that he had been around for the evolution of the Nationals' organization and that all he wanted to do was "win for everyone: for me, for the guys in here, for the fans."
During Game 1, those fans filled the stands, dressed in Nationals red and waving their rally towels like mini-helicopters, just like Cousins. They whooped and hollered as the Nationals almost overcame the Dodgers' early 4-0 lead.
The rally towels say, "One Pursuit," a reference to a World Series title. In pursuing that goal, the Nationals could also establish themselves as the No. 1 team in the city.
The problem is that this time, just like the other times in recent years, another team, or bad luck, or perhaps just fate, might get in the way.

Deku Baba: A man-eating plant that comes up out of the ground. They are found mostly in Kokiri Forest and the Deku Tree. He will try to snap at you, so watch for it. Use the sword a couple times to defeat him. You could also use Deku nuts to stun him so it'll be easier, then use the sword.
Big Deku Baba: Just like the Deku Baba, only lots bigger.
Skulltulwalla: A spider that clings to walls, vines, and stuff. They are found in just about every dungeon. If you get near them, they will turn purple and come at you real fast. Kill them from a distance using Z-Targeting and a slingshot or bow.
Big Skulltula: These huge spiders hang from the ceiling and when you get close, they will drop down. If you get too close, they will spin around and knock you on your @$$:) When they turn around and expose their belly, use the sword to get rid of it. Big Skulltulas can be found in the dungeons.
Hint: In some cases, you'll need the Lens of Truth to see them.
Gold Skulltula: These are the Spiders of the Curse. There are 100 of them in the game. They can be found anywhere. Z-Targeting won't work, so you have to kill them w/o it. Use whatever method you choose.
Keese, Fire Keese, & Ice Keese: These are little black bats. They can be found in dungeons, and a few other places. Use Z-Targeting and wait till they get close & use the sword. Or if they stop, Z-Target them & use your slingshot or something. Be careful of the Fire/Ice Keese because if they fly into you, you're in for a treat!
Guay: He's just like a Keese, only he looks like a bird. They are found near Lake Hylia, and there are tons of then in the desert colossus.
Gohma Larva: They are tiny versions of Gohma. They live in little egg things on the ceiling. They can only be found in the Deku Tree. A good way to get rid of them is to look for the eggs, then use the slingshot. If you miss the eggs, they'll drop down from the ceiling and come for you. Attack with the sword before they pounce on you.
Scrub: They hide in the bushes, then when you get close, they'll spit Deku Nuts at you. Use Z-Targeting and the Deku Shield to reflect them back. When they get hit, they'll run around. Now hit them with the sword once to finish the job. Also, if you're in a big hurry, avoid the nuts and just use the sword.
Business Scrub: Just like Scrubs, only when you reflect the Deku Nut back, they won't run away, they'll give you hints or sell you stuff.
Stalchild: Little skeletons that only show up at night in Hyrule Field. Just use the sword once or twice & that's it. Just watch out because they keep coming until morning. If you wear the Bunny Head, they won't come out.
Peahat/Peahat Larva: What do you know, they're back! Only this time, they are MUCH easier to deal with:) They're only found in Hyrule Field. When the Peahats come up out of the ground, go for the roots. For the Peahat Larva, just use the shield. When they bounce off, they'll die.
Poe: These are found in Hyrule Field and the graveyard. Use the sword when they are visible. Watch out for the fire they throw at you.
Big Poe: There are only 10 of them, and you only see them as adult link when you have Epona. Use Bow. You have to be quick because they will run from you.
Poe Sisters: They live in the the Forest Temple. When you solve their puzzles, Z-Target them and use the Bow.
Octorok: Octopus that lives in the water. They'll pop out and spit rocks at you. Reflect them back.
Tektite: These are jumping spiders. They can be found almost anywhere. The blue ones live near water. The red ones live on Death Mountain. Z-Target & use sword.
Stalfos: Strong, powerful skeletons. Can be found in the dungeons. Z-Target & attack when he lets his guard down. When he attacks you, use shield.
Wolfos/White Wolfos: Wolf creatures that can be found in the Sacred Fores Meadow & the dungeons. Use the hookshot, then go in and attack with the sword.
Lizalfos/Dinalfos: These are found in the dungeons. They make this weird noise, which kinda sounds like my cat:). Any ways, Z-Target and use the sword. When he attacks, use the shield. Dinalfos jumps around more and is a little faster.
Wallmaster: They are big hands that drop down from the ceiling. Make sure to keep moving because if they grab you, you'll end up at the beginning of the dungeon. Attack before they go back up to the ceiling. (You might want to let them grab you once, it looks kinda cool:)
Floor master: These are really annoying! They crawl around on the floor and when you get near, they'll turn green and try to hit you. Move out of the way. When they turn back to their original color, hit them with the sword once. They will split up into three parts. Dispose of them before they come together again.
Hint: In some cases, you'll need the Lens of Truth to see them.
Beamos: These statues will shoot lasers at you. Try to avoid his eye and throw a bomb at it.
ReDead: Zombie things that paralyse you when they see you. (at least most of the time.) Use the Sun's Song to paralyse them, then use the sword. You don't need the Sun's Song, it's just easier.
Gibdo: Same as ReDead, only they are mummies. I think they are a bit more powerful though.
Stinger: These are small fish that live in the water in dungeons. When you get near, they will get bigger and fly into you. Z-Target and use the Slingshot.
Shabom: Bubbles that live in Jabu-Jabu's Belly. Use Z-Targeting and the slingshot. The boomerang also works.
Anibus: I don't know WHAT that thing is, but it can't stand fire! It mimics your moves, only in reverse. It lives in the Spirit temple.
Armos: These statues are found in the dungeons. When you touch them, they will come alive. Stop their movements, then use a bomb.
Spike: You can't defeat these, they move in a pattern, so just avoid them.
Spike Ball: They are found in the water temple. They look like rocks, but when you get close, they turn into spikes & chase you. Use the hookshot from a distance.
Shell Blade: Clams that live in the Water Temple. Z-Target them & when they open up, use the hookshot quickly.
Tailparsaran: Electric pincher things that live in Jabu-Jabu's Belly. Z-Target and use the Boomerang.
Biri: These electric jellyfish are in Jabu-Jabu's Belly. Z-Target and use the Boomerang. You could also use Deku Nuts, then the sword.
Bari: Bigger versions of Biri. When they get hit once, they will split up into three Biri. Use the same method.
Red Bubble: The Bubbles are skulls surrounded by fire. The Red ones are usually seen around lava. You can ignore them, because they don't really get in your way.
White Bubble: When they stop moving, use the sword.
Green Bubble: When the green fire vanishes, attack with the sword.
Blue Bubble: Use the shield to extinguish the flame, then attack.
Ironknuckle: He is probably the biggest pain in the whole game! I found that it's best NOT to Z-Target. Just go behind him and attack like mad. If he hits you, you're in for it, so make sure you have a way to revive yourself.
Dead Hand: This weird thing is the Bottom of the Well boss & there's one in the Shadow Temple. You'll notice lots of hands sticking up out of the ground. Attack one of them, but don't let it grab you. Eventually a body will come up out of the ground. Go for the head. Repeat until dead.
Freezard: An ice monster who freezes you with his breath. When it's safe, attack with the sword. He will come back to life once. Get him again before he completely regenerates.
Torch Slug: Found in the Fire Temple. Z-Target and use the sword. You always get magic from these guys.
Like Like: The lovable shield eaters from Zelda I and IV. Use the sword a couple times but be careful because he'll eat certain shields & clothes. If he gets you, kill him quick to get your stuff back.
Fake Door: When you try to open them, they fall down on you. You can tell they are fake because it sticks out from the wall. Use the Hammer or Bombs to destroy them.
Flying Pots: They look like regular pots, only they fly up and hit you.
Moblin: These are strong soldiers in the Sacred Forest Meadow. If they see you, they will charge you until you hit a wall. Stand at a corner and use the hookshot on its back.
Club Moblin: He protects the entrance to the Forest Temple. If you have arrows, use them. If not, you'll have to dodge the waves he makes with his club. Then go behind him and use the sword.
Dodongo: Hit his tail with the sword three times. Watch out for his fire breath. He explodes before he dies, so watch out.

These tartlets are glorious: they're large enough so you won't feel the need to inhale five at a time, they take advantage of their ingredients' natural qualities for decoration and there are no tartlet pans involved, meaning they aren't super-fussy to make
• 1 quantity Wholemeal pastry or 250g store-bought shortcrust pastry
• 1 quantity Frangipane
• 6 small pears, halved and cored
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons pistachios, finely chopped
1 Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a lightly floured piece of baking parchment, roll out the pastry to a thickness of about 3 mm. Use a 9 cm pastry ring to cut out 12 pastry circles.
2 Transfer the circles to a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
3 Top each pastry circle with a generous teaspoon of the frangipane and spread it out evenly. Finely slice the pear halves and use half a sliced pear to decorate each tartlet.
4 Bake for 10 minutes until the pastry has darkened around the edges.
5 Heat the sugar with 2 tablespoons of water in a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar has just dissolved, then stop stirring.
6 Swirl the mixture, tilting the pan over a high heat until the sugar caramelises and the mixture is completely golden with some darker patches around the edges.
7 Immediately remove the pan from the heat and use a pastry brush to dab the caramel over the baked tartlets. Sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and leave to cool.

Parliamentary System better than Presidential by Louis Evan Palmer
One of the frequent observations during the Watergate scandal was that if the United States had been a parliamentary democracy, the whole thing would have been resolved quickly via losing a vote of confidence followed by an election.
more of a manufactured crisis than a real one). If the U.S. was a parliamentary democracy, it would
not have even been an issue as the party in power decides what the budget is and has primacy
in setting out economic policy. This unnecessary bargaining between the so-called executive and legislative functions would be done away with.
The set dates that have come with a presidential system also contribute to the dysfunction.
It devolves into constant fund-raising and it sets up the potential targets for any and all adversaries.
In effect, you know what your "target" will doing during the set terms. The North Vietnamese geared many of their ultimately successful efforts around presidential elections.
There are clearly Pros and Cons for both systems but the flaws of the presidential system are
deeper and more dangerous. They may, in fact, drag the whole world into an abyss.

In today's episode Chuck talks about expungement. He explains why you can't have charges expunged in Arizona.
Hello friends. I'm going to bring up this subject because I keep getting phone calls literally every day from people that want to know if they can get their criminal records expunged. The word expungement means to remove from public database and court records; things like that.
Arizona currently does not have an engagement statute. We do have a statue that allows you to apply to the court to set aside your conviction and set aside the sentencing and the judgement (assuming all the fines are paid and you've done your jail time) and changes the notation next to your conviction. If the change is done properly, it should say "Conviction Set Aside". It also gives a restoration of your civil rights if it is a felony, so you get your right to vote back. If you are at the same time applying for that you can apply for your state gun rights back.
The County Attorney's Office here in Maricopa County never used to oppose these applications and now they are doing it, especially if you ask for your gun rights. Why they're doing it, I don't know, but the biggest issue it seems to my clients at least in wanting to get this done is because they are attempting to rent an apartment. With a felony conviction or any kind of conviction a lot of these apartment management companies are not allowing you to sign a lease.
The application really does not have as much of an affect from what I have heard and from what my clients have told me. There is a bill before Governor Ducey where you could eventually have your conviction expunged meaning nobody can see it. Even if you have your conviction set aside, it is still there for purposes of a prior conviction.
Here is a Hypothetical: If you were found guilty of aggravated assault and I get it set aside, and you get your gun rights back (which may be a small miracle). But you pick up another felony down the road, the expunged felony could be used as a prior. It is still there for the police agencies and prosecutors to see it. Does it have a practical effect? Only if the person who is reading it understands what you have done. If they don't, then as far as they are concerned you still have a conviction. Whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony.
Felonies are probably more serious obviously when it comes to renting an apartment but if you have a domestic violence conviction which is a misdemeanor, that could probably still keep you from ranting an apartment or house. Hope you understand that, thank you.

WHAS, known by the on air branding as News Radio 840 WHAS, is an AM radio station broadcasting in Louisville, Kentucky at 840 kHz. It is a clear channel radio station operating at 50,000 watts around the clock. The station's studios are located in the Louisville enclave of Watterson Park and the transmitter site is in Long Run in far east Jefferson County. WHAS is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.
WHAS' daytime signal can be heard in almost all of central Kentucky, as well as large slices of Ohio and Indiana, providing city-grade coverage as far south as Lexington and as far north as Cincinnati, and secondary coverage as far as Dayton and Indianapolis. Its nighttime signal can be heard in most of the continental U.S. and much of Canada with a good radio, and even in other countries at times.
Its first broadcast was on July 18, 1922. It was originally assigned the frequency of 350 kHz.
On May 16, 1925, the first live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby was originated by WHAS and was also carried by WGN in Chicago.[1] The call of the Derby featured an announcer who watched from the windows of one of the famous twin spires of Churchill Downs.
On May 15, 1932, WHAS changed from being an NBC affiliate and joined CBS. At that time, WHAS operated on 820 kHz with 10 KW power, but the output was soon increased to 25 KW as authorized by the Federal Radio Commission.[2]
During the 1937 Flood the station aired 115,000 messages. On March 29, 1941 the station moved to its current frequency of 840 AM and made a clear-channel station, both as a result of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, which relocated the 840 clear channel allocation to Louisville from Toronto, where it was used by CBL. On March 30, 1970 WHAS began 24-hour operation.
The station was originally part of the local media empire ruled by the Bingham family, which also published Louisville Courier-Journal and Louisville Times (now owned by the Gannett Company and merged in 1987) and operated television station WHAS-TV (which, following several mergers and transactions in subsequent years, is now owned by Sander Media and operated by Tegna). WHAS and its FM sister station, WAMZ (the former WHAS-FM) were acquired by Clear Channel Communications (which, as iHeartMedia, continues to own the stations to this day) in 1986 as part of the breakup of the Bingham family's media properties.[3]
HD programming[edit]
The station has been broadcasting on a full-time basis in the IBOC digital radio mode, using the HD Radio system[4] from iBiquity, since September 2007 after an initial testing period which started in 2006. Prior to 1995, WHAS broadcast in C-QUAM AM stereo.[5]
WHAS modernized in the early 1970s from an old-line MOR music outlet into an early form of Hot Adult Contemporary music format, featuring adult-appeal Top 40 hits and rock oldies; one longtime slogan was "Good and Gold" (as in "good music", or adult contemporary, and "golden" oldies). For a time in the 1980s, it was also the Louisville affiliate for Casey Kasem's American Top 40. The station continued to feature a full-service Hot AC format through the 1980s (and was the last 50 kW AM station with a full-time AC format), and by 1995, most of the remaining music programming was oldies-based; this made WHAS one of the last 50,000-watt clear-channel radio stations to feature music programming on a regular basis.
Recent history[edit]
Today the station features The Rush Limbaugh Show (live), The Mark Levin Show (delayed by 2 hours), the last two hours of the national broadcast of Ground Zero, and Coast to Coast AM (live) on its daily lineup. Some other personalities on the weekday lineup have included Terry Meiners on "The Terry Meiners Show"[6] and Lachlan McLean on "SportsTalk 840".
The late morning slot (9 am to noon) has seen two changes in recent years. Francene Cucinello hosted "The Francene Show" until her death on January 15, 2010; she was replaced that summer by Mandy Connell. In turn, Connell left in August 2013 to become the morning host on fellow iHeartMedia (then Clear Channel) station KHOW in Denver;[7] her last show on WHAS was on August 9.[8] For several months after her move, Connell provided daily one-minute commentaries, known as "Mandy Minutes", to WHAS.[8] Connell's slot was filled by Leland Conway, previously a talk radio host in Lexington, Kentucky and most recently Richmond, Virginia, whose show began airing on September 16.[9]
Significant changes came to the afternoon and evening lineup in the first half of 2015. In February, McLean announced he would leave WHAS on May 15 and move to Charlotte, North Carolina, where his wife took a corporate position with the Cedar Fair amusement park company.[10] In April, it was confirmed that Sports Talk 840 would end when McLean left WHAS. Effective May 18, Meiners' show was cut back by an hour, ending at 6:00 instead of 7:00. The 6–8 time slot was filled by Connell, who returned to the Louisville market with a locally focused talk show (although it broadcasts from KHOW's studios) until February 2016. Then longtime fill-in host Mary Walter took over as the permanent host and continued the local focused format. The Mark Levin Show moved to the 8–11 slot, being delayed by two hours instead of three,[11] and an extra hour of Ground Zero was picked up.
Weekend programming includes The Dave Ramsey Show, The Weekend With Joe Pags (Joe Pagliarulo), The Ric Edelman Show, The Larry Kudlow Show, The Mutual Fund Show (co-hosted by Adam Bold), and Handel on the Law. At the same time as the spring 2015 lineup changes, WHAS replaced The Bill Cunningham Show in its Sunday night lineup with The John and Leah Show, a syndicated weekly news review show hosted by former WHAS personality John Ziegler and Leah Brandon.
Sports programming[edit]
WHAS was the original radio home to locally produced coverage of American Basketball Association games involving the Kentucky Colonels during that league's 1967–1976 existence.[12][13][14]
WHAS is Louisville's primary home station for the University of Kentucky athletic broadcasts from the UK Sports Network, carrying Wildcats football and men's basketball games.[15] Previously, it had been the flagship for U of L Sports Network coverage of Louisville Cardinals football and basketball, and still serves as the Cardinals' effective flagship station when there is no conflict with Wildcats games. When there is a conflict with Wildcats games, WKRD broadcasts Cardinals games.
Starting in 2015, iHeart media began broadcasting Louisville City FC games.
Public service[edit]
WHAS is the flagship radio station of the annual WHAS Crusade for Children telethon. The station also broadcasts The Moral Side of the News, one of the oldest public affairs programs in American broadcasting, dating back to the 1940s. The show has also been shown on WHAS-TV since the 1950s. The show's panel of clergy members have been involved in distributing the proceeds of the Crusade for Children among local charities since the telethon's beginning.[17]
WHAS radio has solidified its reputation over the years as a leader in coverage of crisis situations, particularly severe weather.
During the flood of 1937, the station gained nationwide notice for its coverage of the disaster, which included broadcasting Louisville flood bulletins over the facilities of WSM in Nashville after Louisville authorities were forced to cut electrical power to the city because of the rising flood waters (thus forcing WHAS' own signal off the air). WHAS returned the favor in 1950 by helping WSM-TV establish television service in Middle Tennessee with a microwave signal link from WHAS-TV.[18][19]
On the afternoon of April 3, 1974, Louisville was hit by an F4 tornado that developed during the 1974 Super Outbreak. WHAS broke away from regular programming to track the storm as it passed through the Louisville metropolitan area. In the hours immediately following the storm, the station delivered important information about what areas had been directly impacted by the storms, and traffic reporter Dick Gilbert followed the tornado in his helicopter, reporting on the damage as he flew at a safe distance behind the storm. The station stayed with continuous coverage of the disaster in Louisville and across the state of Kentucky and the southern portion of Indiana until well into the early morning hours of April 4.[20][21] For their efforts, the station's personnel earned thanks from then-Kentucky Governor Wendell Ford and President Richard Nixon.
WHAS continued to provide valuable severe weather coverage in the 1990s. On January 17, 1994, a record overnight snowstorm paralyzed the city and much of the state of Kentucky.[22] WHAS had round the clock updates and closings information for nearly a week.[23] On May 28, 1996, another tornado outbreak occurred in Kentuckiana and the station suspended their election coverage that night to cover the storm.[24]
