When Westminster was first laid out by William Winchester in 1764, it was located on one of the three main routes west in what we now know as Carroll County.
Today these routes are known as Route 30, Route 140, and Route 26.
Winchester formed Westminster at a point one day's travel between Reisterstown and Taneytown on one of these main routes used by settlers as they traveled west.
Its emphasis on public safety and the promotion of low taxes, good roads and a pro-business environment encouraged many travelers to stay in the Westminster and Carroll County area.
Not to be overlooked were the good hotels, inns, restaurants and provisioning stores that were quickly established in Westminster to meet the needs of the stream of folks using those routes
That tradition of good restaurants and stores remains in Carroll County and the Westminster area 250 years later..."

Northern California wine country rattled by magnitude-6.0 earthquake. Damages could surpass $1 billion. - The Washington Post: "An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 struck the San Francisco Bay area early Sunday, prompting California Gov.

The earthquake hit just before 3:30 a.m. Pacific time about 10 miles northwest of American Canyon, which is about six miles southwest of Napa, in California’s wine country, according to the U.S. Geological Survey."
Northern California rattled by magnitude 6.0 earthquake, region’s largest quake in 25 years... The quake’s epicenter was in the Napa Valley, according to the USGS.

In Ferguson, young demonstrators are finding it’s not their grandparents’ protest - The Washington Post: "FERGUSON, Mo. — It hasn’t been so easy for traditional civil-rights-era activists in this small St. Louis suburb in recent weeks, where the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer has put them on all-too-familiar turf: challenging the treatment of African American men by police."

Greene, the highest-ranking U.S. service member killed in a combat zone since the Vietnam War.

Kevin Spacey's old-Hollywood values shape cutting-edge 'House of Cards' - Baltimore Sun
Kevin Spacey's old-Hollywood values shape cutting-edge 'House of Cards' - Baltimore Sun:
[...]
"Even though Spacey is the face of a production that defines the new way TV is being made and watched today, he said his performance started with an appreciation of the past — in this case, the work of the late Ian Richardson, who starred in the original “House of Cards” for the BBC in 1990.
That series, which was adapted from a book by Michael Dobson, featured Richardson’s character talking directly to the audience, as Spacey’s does in “House of Cards.”
“What a great actor and performance,” he said of Richardson as Francis Urquhardt, a wickedly manipulative leader in Parliament.
“The great thing about the original series and Michael Dobson’s book is that they were based on Shakespeare. The direct address is absolutely ‘Richard III.’ ”"

And you know what? He made it work. Spacey looked great.
Unlike many film and TV stars, though, Spacey’s appeal is
far more than skin-deep. As much style as he has, the artistic and intellectual
substance of Kevin Spacey is what impresses most.

ProPublica By Paul Kiel | Washington Post: USA Discounters hooks some service members with credit before springing the debt trap
ProPublica By Paul Kiel | Washington Post: USA Discounters hooks some service members with credit before springing the debt trap
By Paul Kiel | ProPublica July 25
Army Spc. Angel Aguirre needed a washer and dryer.
Money was tight, and neither Aguirre, 21, nor his wife had much credit history as they settled into life at Fort Carson in Colorado in 2010.
That’s when he saw an ad for USA Discounters, guaranteeing loan approval for service members. In military newspapers and magazines, on the radio, and on TV, the Virginia-based company’s ads shout, “NO CREDIT? NEED CREDIT? NO PROBLEM!” The store was only a few miles from Fort Carson.
“We ended up getting a computer, a TV, a ring, and a washer and dryer,” Aguirre said. “The only thing I really wanted was a washer and dryer.”
Aguirre later learned that USA Discounters’ easy lending has a flip side. Should customers fall behind, the company transforms into an efficient collection operation. And this part of its business takes place not where customers bought their appliances, but in two local courthouses just a short drive from the company’s Virginia Beach headquarters.
From there, USA Discounters files lawsuits against service members based anywhere in the world, no matter how much inconvenience or expense they would incur to attend a Virginia court date. Since 2006, the company has filed more than 13,470 suits and almost always wins, records show.
“They’re basically ruthless,” said Army Staff Sgt. David Ray, who was sued in Virginia while based in Germany over purchases he made at a store in Georgia...
