Firefighter warning after Stanford kitchen blaze
Updated 11:27am Friday 20th June 2014 in Echo News By Matt Abbott, Chief Reporter
FIREFIGHTERS have issued a warning about taking care while cooking after they attended a fire in a Stanford-le-Hope kitchen.
Crews acted quickly to put out the blaze which had started in a kitchen in Nursery Road.
They were called to the house just after 5pm on Thursday and had the fire out by 5.25pm - but the property was heavily smoke-logged.
On return, Essex County Fire and Rescue took the chance to warn residents about taking care while cooking.
Divisional Officer Neil Fenwick said: "Our firefighters attend hundreds of fires a year which originate in the kitchen.
"Cooking is one of the major causes of fires in the home and even the smallest kitchen fire can cause devastation to your home and leave loved ones injured or even killed."
More fires start in the kitchen than any other room in the home.
In Essex, around 56 per cent of house fires start in the kitchen and more than a third start with someone cooking.
The service have the following advice:
Avoid leaving cooking unattended and never leave children in the kitchen alone.
*Take care if you're wearing loose clothing – they can easily catch fire.
*Keep tea towels and cloths away from the cooker and hob.
*Check toasters are clean and placed away from curtains and kitchen rolls.
*Keep the oven, hob and grill clean and in good working order. A build up of fat and grease can ignite a fire.
*Take care when cooking with hot oil – it sets alight easily. If the oil starts to smoke – it's too hot. Turn off the heat and leave it to cool. Ideally cook oven chips but if you are deep fat frying then use a thermostat controlled electric deep fat fryer - they can't overheat.
*Never try to cook after a night out drinking. It is far better to grab a kebab on the way home than to attempt to cook while intoxicated.

- Good but.... (2)OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/16/2014Before writing this I read a couple other reviews and found a heading "Good but" and couldn't agree more. Service was great at times, but poor at the end. We waited a long time after finishing our meals to get a dessert menu, then a long time for the bill, then a long time for him to come back and get my card - at that time the restaurant was 85% empty. The food was excellent, my wife said best dirty martini she had in a long time, steak was cooked perfect, sea bass was delicious, sides were excellent and the carrot cake was fantastic. Bar was very quiet. Though it was a delicious meal, I left immediately thinking that I would not choose this steakhouse again over other choices in the city - just didn't wow me.

- Morton's Seaport august 16, 2014OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014We had a College Graduation celebration at Morton's Seaport and the service (Danielle) was outstanding. The kitchen however, was ill prepared for the onslaught of customers that arrived at the same time for dinner. Our meal was very good but the amount of time we waited for it to arrive was unacceptable. If it were not for the exceptional service of our waitress, the experience would have been very disappointing. The manager certainly helped and provided complimentary desserts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor service average foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014What a disappointment. Waited an hour and a half for my filet that arrived over done. We dropped $400.00 on over priced over cooked average food. I've had a better meal at Longhorn for a quarter of the price.Special Features:
- A Great Evening!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014We came to Morton's to celebrate our son's graduation from college. We were looking for a very special dinner and we were not disappointed. The staff was extremely efficient and accommodating, and even went so far as to have special menus printed up with a congratulatory note to our son on top. Our dinners were absolutely excellent and our desserts were sinfully delicious. It was expensive, to be sure, but well worth it. We would go again to celebrate another special occasion in a heartbeat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The service (everyone from the man who filled our water glasses, to our server, to the general manager) was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious (in fact, it was so rich, I couldn't even finish!) I also loved the fact that we were offered a free picture to commemorate the occasion. I would definitely recommend Morton's to my family and friends and look forward to coming back for another great experience.Special Features:

Everything was excellent, service, food, ambience and the wine cooler. :) We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but...TNeilVIPDined on 7/30/2014Things were fine but not quite to the standard I had come to expect. The waiter was very pleasant but the gaps in service (placing order...delivering salads...getting check...picking up check) seemed way too long given how few people were there for lunch. Also, telling us the warm bread right from the oven was on its way two times only to have it never appear did not help.

Morton's made special menus writing congratulations on top and took a complimentary family photo as well. This was in July, 2 months after most graduation dinners have been celebrated. Food was awesome as usual and accommodated my 10 year old as well. Love this location and will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We had delicious apps, salads, entrees and sides, again from start to finish!! Thanks to Morton's - was a night that surpassed expectations!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy!Kathy1Steve2Dined on 7/19/2014Both my husband and I got the boneless rib eye steak with the bourbon sauce. It was a large steak, but I ate every piece because it tasted out of this way. I also told them it was my husband's birthday ahead of time. They personalized the menu with a happy birthday for him and the date. Plus he received a dessert which was to die for!Special Features:
- Great SteakjonbDined on 7/19/2014Went to dinner with a few friends and had a great meal. Had the tuna tower app and it was outstanding. 12oz filet was cooked perfectly and the twice baked au gratin potatoes as a side were delicious. The service was as good as any restaurant I've been to. My only complaint was that the "special" side dish of baby carrots were a little too el dente for me. Also, they have a pretty extensive wine list with a wide range of prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for a date/special occasionCodyDined on 7/18/2014I took my girlfriend there for her 21st birthday and she absolutely loved it! They custom made the menu to say "Happy birthday" on top which blew us both away. Their customer service was perfect. Their food was outstanding. It was fairly pricey, which is why I say it is the best mainly for special occasions or a nice date! I would definitely recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great birthday dinnerFantastiq4Dined on 7/17/2014Last minute trip to Boston with the kids (13-15). Had a great dinner at Mortons, very good wine list. Perfect score. Food and service: excellent. Special attention for my husband birthday, appreciated! Thank You!Special Features:
- Decent Food, Average ServiceTerryHDined on 7/17/2014My boys were very excited to accompany me to Morton's after hearing me speak about the excellent food and service I have had at the locations in Chicago and San Fransisco. I wasn't as impressed with the Seaport location however, perhaps this is due to the time of day we went (12:30). They absolutely loved their filets, however I had the bone in filet and was a little disappointed with the amount of fat that was within the steak (too much). The service was average, something I would expect at a chain place such as Outback. I guess we could explain this as we were in Boston. The Chicago location in my opinion is still my number one, then the order is San Fransico and then Boston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food - Poor ServiceFoodieVIPDined on 7/6/2014We have eaten here many times. The food was very good as usual. The service was mediocre at best. Our waiter basically ignored us. He "forgot" to place the order for a side dish we requested, and it was delivered to the table as we were nearly finished with our meals. A restaurant that charges $50 for a steak needs better service.Special Features:

- 35th Anniversary DinnerLikeToEatDined on 7/5/2014Morton is 35 years old and celebrated with a special 35th Anniversary Menu. The receptionists were friendly, manager was chatty and attentive, the food waitstaff was professional and the food was great tasting, except the portions were a bit on the small size (salad was good but notice-ably smaller than usual, and the filet mignon looked small, but tasty on the plate). Overall, it was a very good experience, but the person who waited on us did not present us with the 35th Anniversary menu until we asked for it (thought since it was the special, it would be presented to customers as a choice) and throughout the dinner, seemed a bit distracted as we interacted with her. Her service was atypical to Morton's level of excellence.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Hi-these two elusive short stories have been driving me crazy, both in different anthologies back in the 80s.
1. Guys exploring a cave discover a race of small evil manlike creatures that are super-dense and can walk through walls.
2. A man's wife acts strangely. He believes she is being mind-controlled/brainwashed by a device hooked up to a hair dryer at a beauty salon.
Ring any bells?
Thanks in advance!

For motel owners, the sex trade is good money, but bad for business. Allowing prostitution keeps the rooms full, but typically brings along other types of crimes with it that drive away innocent customers.
The owner of the Federal Square Inn on Madison Boulevard is fighting the prostitution problem herself. She said motels like her's often attract that type of activity because of the low rates and extended stay opportunities. However, in the past two years, she started taking many measures to keep prostitution and other crimes off her property, something she said other motel owners don't always do.
She installed surveillance cameras in every corridor and watched them regularly for men who were not guests of the motel coming and going. When a guest checks in, she looks for signs of a prostitute, and turns them away. Some are not easily detectable when they check in, but if she has suspicions, she keeps an eye on their room and asks them to check out if there's a problem. Guests who have caused problems in the past are flagged in the computer system, and turned away if they come back.
Since raising the bar, she had noticed a decline in problems, but also a decline in business. However, it's a sacrifice she is willing to make for the sake of improving her motel's reputation.
"They accept everybody. They really don't care whether it's prostitutes or drug dealers, they have something going on all the time," said Heywon Lee Ford, the motel's owner. "They are making good money. I always see their parking lots full of cars, but when I look at my parking lot, there are not many cars. Yes, it is hurting my business, but it is ok."
Prostitution now often start out on social media websites and ends up at motels. Police are working to crack down on the problem, but investigators said it's a team effort, meaning motel owners must make these folks feel like it's not okay to be on their properties.

8 Channel 720pHD-CVI DVR Mini Realtime
This DVR has amazing picture quality considering the price. Better yet, this recorder does 720p high definition recordings at 30 frames per second and is still cheaper than the 8 channel D1 recorder and I used my original RG59 coaxial cable. Granted the cameras are more expensive but they are definitely worth the enhanced picture quality. Even though this mini can only hold 1 internal hard disk drive you can max that out at 4 TB. It may not be the best choice if you plan to record continuously, but if you use motion detection recording, the on drive can last a long time before it is full. The DVR is easy to operate and has an On Screen Display (OSD) menu system that you use to configure or make adjustments for an array of features on different pages. I think one of the best advancements in video security technology is the ability to remotely access your system via the Internet. I appreciate the fact that Security Camera King makes the apps and software available to users for free to do so. Good product.

This can offer you a cheap upgrade to your existing lower resolution analog transmission system such as a 600 or 700 TVL D1 recording system. Considering that the DVR runs about $400 with a half way decent hard drive installed and the camera cost about $120 each, you can replace your current 8 channel old system with a new high definition system for less than $1400 and you don't have run any new cables! You may want to run some new cables if you want to readjust the camera's view, which you may want tot do because of the higher resolution coverage. My father and I replaced our store's system with this DVR and the cameras on one Sunday without too many difficulties. The only snag to that is that Security Camera King has an excellent technical support team, but they are only available Monday through Friday and not on weekends. That was no big deal for our installation, we went ahead and followed through with completion and called them that Monday with our questions, which I must admit were addressed completely and right away. The 720p resolution is a huge jump up from our old system and we like it. The detail is impressive. The cameras work well and so does the recorder. if you are an amateur installer (a do-it-yourselfer I guess like us) you may find the DVRs instructions a little weak. They list one things do, but they don't really explain things to newbies. If that is an issue, Security Camera King has provided a lot of information on their website and their support staff is good.

Great recorder at a great price. Makes excellent quality video recordings with high resolution (definition) output. User menu is easy to navigate and the price is excellent!
8 Channel HD-CVI DVR Mini Realtime

All I can say is Wow! This HD-CVI DVR is affordable enough for me to be able to use high definition security video recording around my home. The 8 channel capacity gives my plenty of room for cameras to give me the complete coverage I need and the price for the cameras and DVR from Security Camera King are the most competitive that I have seen in the market (to be honest, I haven't seen a lot of HD-CVI equipment out yet).
I ordered my equipment on line using my VISA card and received everything within about 4 days. Everything was packaged properly and in perfect condition. No damage during transit. I installed everything myself (except I ordered the 3 TB internal hard drive from Security Camera King and they installed it for me for free). I run all the cameras at 720p resolution and the videos are great. I even used the two way audio for a sort of monitor at the front door. The large internal hard drive actually cost more than the unit itself but it is worth it to have plenty of storage space for the high resolution video footage. I just hope the drive lasts longer than what some of my computer hard drives have in the past. The remote access function using my Galaxy 4 works great. I downloaded the app and the computer software and can actually monitor my system at work on my computer or anywhere using my phone. What more could I ask for?

This is Bratara Buzea, Queen of the Romanian Witches, she is not a happy witch. The government of Romania is getting tough with witches.
Romania has an estimated four thousand witches, and the government there thinks they haven't been paying their fair share. So, the government has decided to tax those who practice witchcraft and now some officials want witches to be fined or even thrown in jail if their predictions don't come true.
Please, we know what you're thinking about weather forecasters. Queen Bratara Buzea thinks that's silly. She says, "They can't condemn witches, they should condemn the cards."
Fortune-tellers, tarot card readers and witches must now produce receipts for any work done and must have a permit to practice their craft as well as pay 16 percent income tax. The "bad predictions" bill passed the Romanian Senate, but still needs approval from finance and labor committees and Romania's Chamber of Deputies.
You do wonder why the fortune-tellers didn't see this coming.

The new J-Tree West guide gives this route two stars but I can't see why since the rock sucks. Basically the route climbs a thin slab that has numerous loose and hollow flakes for holds that might break off at any moment. I guess its worth doing if you already have a rope up, but maybe not.
This route is located between Loose Lady and Puss N' Boots.

"in the unlikely event of a sudden uncommanded acceleration, put the vehicle into neutral, then brake etc."
This in turn would mean that automobile manufacturers would have to admit in public the possibility that some UAs are NOT caused by driver error.
In other words, they would have to admit what they, with NHTSA's tacit support, have consistently denied for three decades: namely, that intermittent electronic and software malfunctions in electronic throttles may be causing sudden accelerations.

CATEGORIES Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Casting, RumorMonger, CinematicalThough there are five (or is it fifty?) projects Angelina Jolie is flirting with or prepping for right now -- from her directorial debut in Bosnia to Cleopatra -- there's one film she's definitely not doing. In fact, she's refused to sign on twice now, even after some salivating hard-core press from the studio, an intriguing premise, a great director, and big money.
Though Warner Bros. fought to bring her into the fold, and she was initially intrigued by the project when it was at Universal, Jolie refuses to headline Gravity, Alfonso Cuaron's upcoming 3D sci-fi film, which would see her in a challenging Cast Away-type role set on a space station.
Deadline reports that Warner Bros. was very eager to get Jolie in the movie, since much of it will focus on the female lead alone on-screen, and no actress has the box office power of one Ms. Jolie. As the pitches of woo fail, however, they're faced with a wide range of possibilities: Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts, Marion Cotillard, Rebecca Hall, Abbie Cornish, Carey Mulligan, Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, Olivia Wilde, and Blake Lively. When you're got Bullock and Lively on the same casting list, you know Warner Bros. is leaving no stone unturned.
Though Jolie doesn't seem titillated enough, the feature's plan sounds awesome. Set on a remote space station, the team leader (Robert Downey Jr.) and a female colleague are traveling outside of the station when an exploding satellite wipes out all of the team members but one (Jolie's passed role). "The film's central focus is the heroine's desperate attempt to return home to her child." Initial reports even revealed that the film would start with a twenty-minute take -- one that should make any Children of Men fan squeal in anticipation.
Serving action and drama that requires many different acting muscles to be exercised, and under the hands of a skilled filmmaker, Gravity seems like the next Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as far as casting goes. Who wouldn't want to take part, especially after the stellar work Sam Rockwell pulled off for Moon?
Perhaps Jolie is just too busy, but she always seems to find room for worthy features, and this one sounds like it'd be a whole lot better financially and critically than the other fare on her plate.
Is Jolie making a big mistake? Without her money-attracting star power, who should lead the 3D space adventure?

I've have been noticing a trend among "change agents" in the federal government lately. They are often the very people dragging their feet and resisting to their last breath compliance with policies and procedures to actually implement real change. Contrary to popular belief, most agencies already have policies, procedures etc. to review, approve and implement change. All you have to do is learn the process, fill in the proper forms, coordinate with those affected, get approval from the…Continue

Follow this or any other website dealing with profesional life or organizational leadership and you quickly see a common theme of encourging individuals to focus on self actualization, leaders to focus on serving followers and employees to live their passion through their work. Doing the job, taking responsability for deliverables and earning a living appear to be minor spinoffs that may, or may not, come from the first set of objectives. All of which I find somewhat amusing since a large…Continue

A.Yes. Both glues will
form a bond stronger than the wood itself. The main
difference between the two glues is in application
Both glues belong to a class of glues called
PVAs, because they are based on a resin called
polyvinyl acetate. White glues like
Elmer's were the first glues of this type
to be introduced. While they are perfectly fine for
gluing wood (and a host of other porous materials),
they do not sand well, tend to run, and have low
initial tack. Yellow glues were developed to
address these problems.
Yellow glues have a higher solids content (they
are thicker than white glues and sand better) and
have tackifiers added to speed assembly time. To
distinguish these improved glues from the older
white glues, manufacturers added a yellow color and
a meaningless designation, calling them "aliphatic"
resin glues.
If you think of yellow glue as white glue with a
higher solids content, some additives and yellow
color, you're on the right track. Yellow
glues are definitely easier to use and have better
application characteristics but are no different in
strength from white glues.

Bob Mazur's resume reads a lot like a spy novel. In fact, his experiences as an undercover agent are about to be turned into a Hollywood movie.
During his 27-year career with the IRS, Customs and the DEA, he infiltrated Colombia's drug cartel and brought down a massive money laundering scheme. Today, he operates a private investigative business based in Tampa.
His wealth of experience gives him unique insight into how new technology is used, and sometime misused, to get a private person's personal information.
"There is a tremendous amount of public information that is available," said Mazur. "There are many vendors out there that do nothing but collect information on a state-by-state basis."
Information selling is a big business and you can legally obtain all kinds of information on somebody without any type of law enforcement training.
"One of the fundamental things provided by databases is an address history for you, and that will be a pretty good search protocol to start with," continued Mazur.
Vehicle records, crash reports, court cases and phone numbers all become puzzle pieces to build a personal profile, and Florida law makes it pretty easy.
"No matter what city, county or state agency it is, if they have information concerning you and I make a written request, under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, I can get that information as long as it's not an active criminal case or particular sex crime case," Mazur explained.
He also warns people to be careful what they voluntarily provide companies and individuals on the internet.
"Social media is a very information-rich resource for private investigators or attorneys who are litigating matters," he said.
Mazur says finding information on people with a common last name, like Smith or Wilson, can be more of a challenge than unusual names, but it's nearly impossible to hide from public records in the Sunshine State.
"It's an extraordinarily difficult task if you've already been on the radar screen," Mazur added.

- Top Ten Towels On Four Shafts: A Project Collection Review by Ann Helgeson
I purchased this collection after I bought the Design Collection 18, from which I have done two of the projects. TTT seems to have more basic kitchen towels and since I am an inexperienced weaver that suits me. Also there are plenty of towels that use 8/2 cotton which I have invested mightily in. I aspire to many of the larger specialty towels in the Design Collection, but TTT is where I will look for projects first. I find the instructions in all the Interweave publications to be consistent and easy to follow. They are well worth the price.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — I am not always in agreement with the things that Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay says or tweets for that matter.
But what he said this week about what the Colts accomplished during Peyton Manning's tenure in Indianapolis was absolutely accurate. Yet what he said wasn't specifically directed at Manning, but try to tell that to the Denver Broncos or the national media's group of illiterate writers.
Irsay said that the Colts should have won more than one Super Bowl during the years that Manning and the Indianapolis offense were putting up record-busting numbers. The furor that caused is both ridiculous and stupid on several counts.
First of all, it isn't the first time he stated that position. Most recently he said it this past summer. Just because he said it again right before Denver comes to Indianapolis for a Sunday night game doesn't make it a bigger deal or any less valid than when he said it in August.
The second reason this uproar over the comments is so ludicrous is because the national media who are jumping on Irsay now are the same ones who were saying the same thing while Manning was still an Indianapolis quarterback.
I guess selective amnesia is a common ailment among the national media. What was true then is just as true now, and Manning's impending trip back to the stadium he helped build doesn't change that.
Irsay wasn't being disrespectful to the former Colts signal caller. He was answering a question as honestly as he could. More power to him for it.
Manning could have put this entire story to rest, and he blew it. He could have said, "He's right. We should have won more than one Super Bowl." Then that quote would have been the end of the story. All Manning could come up with was "no comment."
I know where I stand on this entire Manning returning to Indy subject. I have always been a Colts fan first and a Manning fan after that. It is still true today. It pleases me when Manning plays well for the Broncos. For nearly every game he plays this season, I wish him well.
On Sunday, I hope he doesn't complete a pass and gets sacked a few times.
On Sunday, I think it is fine for people to show up at Lucas Oil Stadium in Colts jerseys with the No. 18 and Manning's name on the back. I think it is deplorable for residents of Indiana to show up in Denver jerseys with the No. 18 and Manning on the back.
The people who do that were never fans of the Colts. They were fans of Manning or even worse, fans of winning.
The best news of all is that in three days, the game will be played and all of this stupidity will end.
Sports Editor Rick Teverbaugh's columns appear twice weekly.

Das EFX Tours
Both originating from the super-real streets of Brooklyn in New York, Andre "Drayz" Weston and Willie "Skoob" Hines are the two minds behind hardcore rap outfit Das EFX.
The collaborative efforts between the two were the result of a chance meeting in college, cemented into place by taking out the top spot in a talent contest judged by EPMD - resulting in them being signed to the well-respected label and their career making a stratospheric launch into the higher echelons of rap fame after their first album went platinum and was released to much critical acclaim.
With more than twenty years, five albums and an endless number of singles to their names, we're pretty pleased to announce the next Das EFX tour down under - catch them at the Prince Bandroom on Friday September 28.

Tiger Woods withdrew from the 2012 WGC-Cadillac Championship with an apparent leg injury. He played through 11 holes, hitting three bogeys before leaving the course in his car with his leg covered in ice packs.
Tiger with "leg injury" as he pulls out of parking lot in luxury Mercedes sled. Watching by "gallery". Really.— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) March 11, 2012
Woods didn't appear to be himself on Sunday, wincing through pain throughout the day and even switching golf shoes between the 9th and 10th holes. The last time he pulled out of a tournament was one year ago at the Players Championship.
At the moment, few details on the injury are known. Keegan Bradley and Justin Rose are tied atop the leaderboard at the moment through the front nine at 16-under. Rory McIlroy is right behind at 15-under.

Hey, there are real changes a-comin' to Major League Baseball this season! Here's Jayson Stark (via ESPN.com):
Baseball owners approved a rule change last week, several sources have told ESPN, that would allow coaches and managers to bring interpreters to the mound this season for conferences with foreign-born pitchers who don't speak fluent English.
Almost every club's got at least one Spanish-speaking pitcher who doesn't speak fluent English. Some clubs have a pitcher from Taiwan or South Korea or Japan who doesn't speak fluent English. In Curaçao, the official language is Dutch. And most people think that big-time baseball will only become more internationalized in the coming years. It's not hard to imagine a future in which some teams employ two or three interpreters. Which is neither here nor there, I suppose.
Except I've got this nagging desire to keep non-uniformed personnel off the field whenever possible. I don't like to see cops on the field, or non-uniformed ball-boys/girls/dudes down the lines. It's always just slightly jarring to me, when the non-uniformed trainer trots out of the dugout to tend to some injured player. I consider the baseball field a grand stage, and I prefer the stage unsullied by those not assigned the costumes of the stage players. For the same reason, I cringe every time Joe Maddon walks to the mound wearing a hoodie.
Yeah, I know: That's just me. Nobody cares much any more about appearances. Players wear different-colored shoes, they pull their pants down below their ankles ... It's anarchy out there, and there's nothing to be done about it.
Another thing about interpreters? They'll be on the bench with the players and the trainers and the policemen and ... probably another coach! Stark:
Teams will be permitted to have a seventh coach in uniform, in the dugout, during games. Previously, clubs were allowed to have just six coaches dressed for a game. But with numerous teams adding a second hitting coach this year, clubs pushed for permission to have a seventh coach in uniform, and owners agreed.
Here, I'm going to sound like a curmudgeon again ... How am I supposed to keep track of all these people on the bench these days?
This is inevitable, though. And it's only going to get worse, or more, or some other word that doesn't necessarily have a negative connotation. The more you're paying your players, the easier to justify making relatively tiny investments in their care and feeding. Why only two hitting coaches? If you had four hitting coaches, each could focus on only three or four hitters. Why not a dedicated baserunning coach during the season? Why not another couple of pitching coaches? You could have one coach for power pitchers, and one for finesse pitchers; one for veterans, and one for the kids.
This limit of seven in-the-dugout coaches will probably last for a while. But I'll bet the coaching staffs will continue to expand, and within five years the in-the-dugout limit will be upped to eight. Oh, and the playing rosters will be set at 26, too. You think these are all small things, but they do add up. And then one day you look up and suddenly realize that you're the NFL, and you wonder what in the hell you were thinking.
Or you don't, probably. We don't like to think too much.
One bit of welcome news: Major League Baseball is finally, mercifully going to outlaw the ol' fake-to-third-and-throw-to-first move. I will admit that it's added some character to the game, over the years. I remember Bo Jackson falling for it once, and I remember that Dan Quisenberry was considered the master of the tactic during his time. But it really does make a mockery of the game, clearly violating the original intent of the balk rule, while just very rarely resulting in anything except a minute-long break in the action. We might someday remember it fondly, but we should all be glad that we're remembering it instead of actually watching it.

BOYCE, La. (KALB News Channel 5) - On Feb. 8, 2014 at approximately 7:21 p.m.,
deputies from the Boyce Sub-station responded to the 200 block of
