During the dead-ball era, baseball was much more of a strategic, station-to-station game. It relied much more on stolen bases, hit and run plays and similar strategies than on home runs. It was basically a speed game, what would be referred to now as "small ball." Such plays as the Baltimore Chop were popular, where a batter would intentionally hit downward on the incoming pitch so that by the time the fielders were able to retrieve the ball, the batter had reached first base. And then often he would steal second base, or be bunted over to ...

Homer is located at 59°38'35" North, 151°31'33" West (59.643059, -151.525900)GR1. Homer is on the shore of Kachemak Bay on the southwest side of the Kenai Peninsula. Its most distinguishing feature is the Homer Spit, a narrow 7 km (4.5 mile) long gravel bar that extends into the bay, on which is located the Homer Harbor. Much of the coastline as well as the Homer Spit sank dramatically during the Good Friday Earthquake in March of 1964. After the earthquake, very little vegetat ...

In 1691 Lower Norfolk County was in turn divided to form Norfolk County and Princess Anne County (which became the independent city of Virginia Beach in 1963). Captain Adam Thoroughgood (1604-1640) is credited with naming Norfolk County. Thoroughgood was a prominent resident of the colony. Like so many others at that time, he had been born in England and migrated to Virginia, and named the new county after his original "home" county back across the Atlantic Ocean. After 1691, Norfolk County remained more or less intact for over ...

On September 20, 1905, the War Department in Washington D.C. granted a group of promoters, called the “Newport Bay Investment Company,” permission to construct the Pavilion as a “boat-house, bath-house, and pavilion.” The promoters built the pavilion on the harbor side of the sand spit and its sister project, the Balboa Pier, on the adjacent ocean side of the sand spit, which is today called the Balboa Peninsula. These two structures were built to attract lot pur ...

During the 17th century, shortly after establishment of the Jamestown Settlement in 1607, English settlers and explored and began settling the areas adjacent to Hampton Roads.

In Virginia, cities are immune from annexation by each other, but the most recent attempt by the City of Norfolk to annex yet another portion of Norfolk County had threatened to completely surround the tiny City of South Norfolk. In this odd battle of municipalities, Norfolk County and its neighbor, the former town (and now independent city) of South Norfolk, became allies. In 1963, after approval by referendum of the voters of both the City of South Norfolk and Norfolk County, and with the approval of the Virginia General Assembly, t ...

Like Spit or Icehouse, players in BRAWL do not take turns, instead either making a move or staying inactive as best suits their strategy at that moment. The game is fast-paced (games typically last a few minutes) but still has a fairly high level of strategy. Each player has a different deck of cards. The object of the game is to control the most "bases" by playing the most "hit cards" onto the base before it is frozen by playing a "freeze card" onto it. The ga ...

In addition to longshore bars discussed above that are relatively small features of a beach, the term bar can be applied to larger geological units that form off a coastline as part of the process of coastal erosion. These include spits and baymouth bars that form across the front of embayments and rias. A tombolo is a bar that forms an isthmus between an island or offshore rock and a mainland shore. The largest of the geological units of this kind are the barrier islands, such as occur along the East Coa ...

While spittoons are still made, they are no longer commonly found in public places. A rare profession which commonly uses spittoons is that of wine taster. A wine taster will sip samples of wine and then spit them into a spittoon in order to avoid intoxication. At some wine tastings, you'll find spittoons for all tasters to use. Likewise for professional coffee tasters and tea tasters. ...

Although Hampton Roads represents a sheltered area from the tempests of both the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the area’s shorelines change with extreme weather. At one time, Willoughby Bay did not border Sewell’s Point to the north! The area known as Willoughby takes its name from Thomas Willoughby, who came to Virginia in 1610 and received a land grant around 1625. Willoughby's son, Thomas II, was living there in the 1660s, and legend has it that his wife awoke one morning following a terrific storm (possibly the "Harry ...

It uses its long proboscis to inject a lethal toxin that liquefies the insides of its prey. It then sucks out the liquefied remains. The legs of these bugs are covered in tiny hairs that serve to make them sticky to hold onto their prey while it feeds. The venom is effective for even larger insects. Some species are also able to spit their venom at the eyes of predators from up to a foot away. They have been known to feed on cockroaches and are regarded in many locations as beneficial.

Haploidisation (from the Greek απλοποίηση = simplification) is the process of creating a haploid cell from a diploid cell. This is a laboratory procedure that forces a normal cell to spit out half of its chromosome content, leaving just one set. In mammals this renders this cell equal to sperm or egg. This was one of the procedures used by Japanese researchers to produce Kaguya the fatherless mouse. ...
