The menu is short but not lacking
for variety. Egg dishes are clean and flavorful. Breakfast meats are tasty. Service was excellent."

My husband and our teenage sons
dined at 6th Engine to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Waiter, Ben, was warm and helpful without being intrusive. At our request, he gave us some history of the building and it's unique features -- sons enjoyed this too. The food was yummy, including complimentary home-made potato chips, appetizer of amazing hush puppies, great burgers. I had the catfish sandwich which was savory and crispy. Sons each ordered a dessert (forget name) that was a large log of rice-crispies and peanut butter covered in chocolate -- must have been good because the inhaled them. We had informed Ben that we were there to celebrate an anniversary, so he surprised us with a complimentary chocolate caramel cake for dessert!!"

Service is usually quite good but
Katie B was extra helpful and kept the mimosas full."

The outside patio caught my eye
while driving by a few times so finally decided to try it out. My other half loved their cosmo and gave it 5 stars (he has a food blog, http://friesandcosmos.wordpress.com/). Our server (Kate I think?) was outstanding and our food tasted as good as it looked... and it looked beautiful. Well done 6th Engine!"
Dined on 8/9/2014
Went here with a friend for
Saturday brunch. The service was excellent and speedy, the "brunch punch" was delicious, and they had a wide range of brunch entree options (we both loved ours, and the portions are very generous). I also loved the atmosphere of the old restored fire hall - I would definitely recommend Sixth Engine and will be coming back!"
Dined on 8/9/2014
I saw a segment on the Cooking
Channel for G. Garvin's Road Trip where he highlighted Sixth Engine as one of the DC restaurants. I had never heard of this place, and it looked like a cool, hip, little spot. Especially after its rebirth from an old DC Fire Station that I use to pass by on my way to work many years ago. I was right on the mark! Took my best friend there with a group of the fellas for his 51st birthday, and we had a great time. Service as a bit slow to start, but they caught up. Had some great unique drinks and beers and the food was excellent! The pork chop entree is a must try! ~ Thanks to the manager for the special birthday desserts for out table. The apple doughnut balls sent us over the moon! A must try restaurant..."
Dined on 8/4/2014
Great food, reasonably priced.
Duck pastrami was awesome so was the roast chicken special"
Dined on 8/2/2014
Took family from out of town
there, since they had a pretty basic menu that their kids would eat. Everything tasted like salt was dumped all over it. the DC rolls were flavorless except for the salt, the burgers were over cooked, the catfish sandwich was all salt and no fish."
Dined on 7/28/2014
i've been coming here on occasion
for several years, and have never been disappointed. fantastic food, and amazing cocktails."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Enjoyed a wonderful Sunday brunch
here with a small group. Our server was sweet and attentive, and the mimosas were perfect! I also recommend the apple fritters and hush puppies :-)"
Dined on 7/20/2014
My friends & I went before a
Fringe Festival show. I didn't realize there was outdoor seating, so was disappointed that we were put all the way in the back corner of the restaurant on a nice night. Sort of my fault, but would have preferred to be closer to the front - it wasn't busy inside at all at 8pm on a Sat night. Our server was very nice and accommodating! I enjoyed the Shiraz blend, and the catfish was a very nice surprise - not at all salty, lightly breaded (not fried), atop fresh veggies. My friends all liked their dishes, except the Safe Way salad was more like coleslaw than the description. Liked the touch of the homemade chips before the meal, too. Good place for a quick dinner, though sit outside!"
Dined on 7/19/2014
The service and food is always
amazing a Sixth Engine. Coffee and water came out quickly so what more could you ask for on a Sunday Morning. I had the daily omelet special. Just the right amount of mushrooms to give the meaty flavor I wanted yet let the spinach and mozzarella shine"
Dined on 7/19/2014
Good food and service, not
pretentious and a relaxed atmosphere."
Dined on 7/11/2014
I went here with my boyfriend for
his 30th birthday and it was fantastic! The service was excellent! I was very impressed when they brought out a dessert for him. It made the night very special."
Dined on 7/8/2014
Fell upon this restaurant by
chance. Diverse food options with a pleasant wait staff! A must do."
Dined on 7/4/2014
My 14 year old son and I loved the
setting. Set in DC's first fire station it is 'Super Cool'. The food was delicious. They bring you chips and dip to snack on and it was so good! My son had a 14 oz steak and I had a burger. It was great food. We loved it."
Dined on 7/1/2014
I've eaten here 4 times now, I'll
come back but only for drinks from now on. The food is good, not great, but good. Brunch options like ham/egg/cheese on a pretzel bun and the eggs benedict were solid. The hushpuppies are okay, dry (2nd try). The wings are never good (3rd try). The potatoes they served on the side on 29 June were atrocious, par-boiled chopped gray potatoes, lukewarm no seasoning, came with all meals, the chef should be embarrassed. Service on my previous 3 occasions was excellent, but Sunday was absolutely non-existent. Our server was one of the worst I've experienced in a long time (slow, errors, had to be asked to clear plates, take orders, silverware, etc). An engaged floor manager would have helped out."
Dined on 6/29/2014
Came for a birthday, but after
fifteen minutes of being completely ignored without so much as water we left. Staff did not care when we told them why. We have been loyal for two years, never had a problem before. Never going back."
Dined on 6/18/2014
Food, service, and atmosphere were
excellent. The food is obviously prepared by a skilled chef, and everything our group ordered was perfectly unique and delicious."
Dined on 6/15/2014
Great service. Great outdoor
seating for brunch. Great food! Overall, I had a fantastic brunch experience!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
I went to Sixth Engine for a date
night. I wanted to treat my significant other to a nice restaurant with great cocktails... That is exactly what Sixth Engine was. I was able to snag a last minute reservation AND get to sit on the patio on a beautiful Friday Afternoon! The service was great. He talked to us about the menu and drinks, since it was our first visit, and also brought a lightness to the table. He also didn't hover and was there to fill our drinks just as they were emptying. The patio was great! Right on Mass Ave, but really not that loud. I highly recommend. I will be returning to Sixth Engine."
Dined on 6/6/2014
We went here expecting great food,
left pretty disappointed. Burgers were not very good. Beer selection was nothing to write home about. Overall, would not go back."
Dined on 5/17/2014
The staff here are SO friendly,
and not in that fake nice "we work for tips" way. From the hostess to the bartneder to the server everyone was super chill, very accommodating unpretentious, just genuinely nice people. That alone made me want to come back.While waiting for our table the bartender started us on our bottomless mimosas even though we weren't going to be sitting at the bar. The ambiance is awesome, even though we sat outside I would've been just as happy inside in the cool old firehouse. The food was really really good, so many interesting choices I had a hard time chooosing. My only one issue was the egg whites were a little underdone on my benedict, but it did not deter my great time at the restaurant! "
Dined on 5/17/2014
If you live in this 'hood, you're
very lucky to have this place nearby. It's not a place I'd recommend to anyone who doesn't already live a few blocks from it since there's nothing remarkable about it that would make it worth a long trip. However, the food is good and if you like beer they seem to have quite a bit of it. "
Dined on 5/15/2014
Came here for brunch on a sunny,
sunday afternoon. Very thankful for the restaurant reserving a table outside when I requested one during my reservation. Not every restaurant does that and I'm grateful for it. Brunch was good, the fritters were amazing! Got the toastado which was fine. We had the bottomless mimosa option though the mimosa's didn't seem that strong. Was a leisurely brunch but we weren't rushed and the waitress was attentive. Only wish they had umbrellas as the sun was a little strong at time. The portions were a good size and all my dining companions enjoyed their food."
Dined on 5/11/2014
We took Mom for Mother's Day,
right at opening, 11 am on a Sunday. Really enjoyed it. Had the tostada, the beef hash and the No 6 Breakfast. All were excellent. We sat outside in brilliant sun (they will need umbrellas soon as summer sets in). The tables were far enough apart that the family with kids next to us was not at all a factor. General ambiance was upscale casual (genuine linens and plates and so on). Inside, the tables looked nice too, and the bathroom was spotless and well appointed. Our waitress was attentive - refills of the water bottle and occasional checks on us - without hurrying us along. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
Nice atmosphere for an evening out
and drinks with friends. The wait staff is really professional and attentive to the customer."
Dined on 4/30/2014
My wife, daughter, and I had a
delicious meal at Sixth Engine on a recent trip to DC (from NY). The location is convenient, great outdoor and indoor space, and the staff was friendly and very helpful. We requested a lot of information to deal with a gluten allergy -- no problems from the waiter or the kitchen in getting info and working around it. All was great - I highly recommend."
Dined on 4/26/2014
Decided to come here for Dining
Out for Life since they were one of the only restaurants in the area participating. Had the burger, salad, and cauliflower. The cauliflower side was huge and good (covered in cheese). The burger was very good and my friend loved his catfish sandwich. The complementary chips and dip is always a good way to start the meal. My old-fashioned was in a nice size glass and delicious."
Dined on 4/24/2014
The outdoor seating was a little
packed. It looked nice though. It unfortunately is on Mass Ave. which can get a little loud and be distracting. The inside dining space is a world apart and very nicely done. Small dining room, but ample space for each diner. The building is a converted fire house. So the main dining room looks out on Mass Ave through floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows. The food was really good. We had the oxtail Barbacoa nachos which were delicious. A perfect combo of fresh pico, cheese sauce and meat. There was also no rush between courses. I had an Old Fashioned which, while hard to get wrong, was very good. We had the filet and the burger. Both were cooked perfect to our requests. A bit high on price, but worth it. "
Dined on 4/24/2014
a few of us met after work, it was
a convenient location and we all liked the idea of an old firehouse. The burger was AWESOME, very very delicious, and the onion rings are the size of your fist. Impressive. Others had cod and other items, everyone was happy with their food, the service was excellent, and there was a decent wine list etc. All in all we would definitely come back, it's a casual place, great outdoor space and really yummy food! "
Dined on 4/22/2014
Visiting DC and decided to try
Sixth Engine based on recommendation. Food is a bit eclectic and limited, but very good. Tried the Filet, Pork Panini, Mushroom Pasta...all were very good. Son had cheesecaske for dessert. Outstanding! Waitress was nice and competent, just not all that friendly. Seemed to be put off by any questions. "
Dined on 4/19/2014
In terms of the bottomless mimosa
portion of the meal, our group had 2 complaints: 1. The orange juice used in the mimosa was EXTREMELY pulpy. It was almost overwhelming. They should consider going with a less pulpy OJ option. 2. The service on refilling mimosas was a little slow. The food was very good though. "
Dined on 4/19/2014
Wonderful space. Nice varied menu
with tasty side dishes and interesting cocktails. Our go to spot for a no complicated dinner where our guests - and us - will find whatever we want from big meal to burger any time. "
Dined on 4/16/2014
I really want to like this place.
I absolutely love the space, but have consistently been disappointed by the food here. I walked away feeling like there was a ball of grease in my stomach. I really hope this place can turn itself around."
Dined on 4/9/2014
The food at Sixth Engine was good.
It would have been better if it had been served warm. The service was SO slow. It took us over 2 and a half hours to compete our entire dining experience. The waiter was very slow to take both our drink and food orders. All the food was brought out at the same time - including appetizers, sides, and entrees. However, it took forever for any of the food to be brought out. By the time it was presented to us, I had lost interest in eating. The environment was relaxed. The restaurant was not too crowded - I think this was because of the restaurant's location."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Enjoyed the dinner before going to
the Cher concert! Great place! Sat us quickly and also served us fast. Food was delicious. And chips were excellent too! Thanks!"
Dined on 4/4/2014
You know it's going to be a good
experience when you and your dining partners are fighting over the last bit of the Frech onion dip you get as a complimentary appetizer. We've eaten there several times. Great user friendly menu, simple and honest ingredients, flavor profiles that surprise you with every bite. We'll be going back very soon and this time, I won't be sharing the dip."
Dined on 3/31/2014
Came here with a 3 friends before
heading out on a Friday night. Restaurant was crowded as NCAA tournament on - sat downstairs. Like the complementary chips and dip although they came out at the same time as our entrees. Good, strong drinks, too! Had the burger with onion rings - very good. Nice portions and all of us (4 guys) were full and satisfied for not a lot of money."

Unjustified imprisonment and torturous living conditions have prisoners hunger striking all over the world. Many people who read the Bay View on the regular are aware of the California prison hunger strike, which has been going on for over a month now and started with over 30,000 prisoners statewide participating. But many know nothing about another prison hunger strike that is going on simultaneously on a U.S. military base in Cuba.
September 14, 2012
A bill opposing the shackling of pregnant prisoners, AB 2530, passed unanimously by the California State Legislature, is now on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk, with 30 days to either approve or veto it. Last year, a previous version of this bill was also passed unanimously by the legislature, but it was ultimately vetoed by Gov. Brown. AB 2530 supporters have created two webpages for the public to contact the governor.

Childbirth is a painful and difficult experience for most women, but Toya Murray says for her, it was torture. Like many other incarcerated women across New York state, she was shackled immediately before and after giving birth. "When it was due for me to have my baby, they shackled my hands and feet when I went into labor to go to the hospital," Murray said.

Checking in on the Timbers' website lately, I started noticing the amount of Facebook "Likes." I was curious whether the amount of "Likes" had any correlation to attendance, so I checked all the "Likes" for all the teams (boring Sunday). Ironically, I'm not even on Facebook, but I think social media are interesting.
I'm not sure if the amount of Facebook recognition is a cause of, or a result of attendance. There are also a lot of other complicating factors: population, Facebook advertising (RSL jersey release), amount of time in the league, whether a team is in the US or Canada (maybe?), etc.
Just glancing at the list, it looks to me like there is a strong correlation. I could have probably guessed 4 of the bottom 5 in the Facebook column, excluding the Whitecaps (you can't really take anything from that number). Houston and New England stick out to me as exceptions to the trend.
Facebook Attendance
Seattle Sounders 140,594 (1) 36,173 (1)
Philadelphia Union 51,903 (2) 19,252 (4)
Red Bull New York 49,424 (3) 18,441 (5)
Real Salt Lake 42,269 (4) 17,095 (7)
LA Galaxy 37,046 (5) 21,473 (2)
Chicago Fire 32,557 (6) 15,814 (8)
Toronto FC 27,746 (7) 20,453 (3)
New England Revolution 25,012 (8) 12,987 (13)
DC United 24,915 (9) 14,532 (11)
Sporting Kansas City 24,479 (10) 10,287 (15)
Portland Timbers 20,270 (11) NA
Houston Dynamo 16,063 (12) 17,310 (6)
Columbus Crew 13,973 (13) 14,642 (9)
San Jose Earthquakes 13,049 (14) 9,659 (16)
FC Dallas 12,808 (15) 10,815 (14)
Colorado Rapids 11,887 (16) 13,329 (12)
Chivas USA 6,920 (17) 14,574 (10)
Vancouver Whitecaps 5,399 (18) NA
My conclusion: it looks to me like teams near the top have owners that care, and teams near the bottom have owner's that tend to not care as much (excluding Vancouver). Obviously, you can't measure how much an owner cares, but that's what it looks like to me.
Edit: the word "care" was a poor choice. I guess I should have used "are active participants with their teams," or something similar.
What do you guys and girls think? Useful number? Did I just waste an hour for a completely useless list of nonsense? Anyone know how to make a chart?

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst says Fitzgerald is frustrated, but 'sold out' for Cardinals
Carter caught 1,101 passes over his 16-year career, which was spent with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins.
He was one of the best receivers in the game, though he has not caught a pass since retiring after the 2002 season.
And yet, Fitzgerald caught just one more pass than Carter did this past Sunday.
"He is not our typical wide receiver but he's very frustrated, though," Carter told ESPN's Mike & Mike Tuesday morning.
Fitzgerald is having one of the worst seasons of his career, and is on pace to catch just 75 passes for 867 yards and five touchdowns. He's been held to five catches over the last three games -- on 26 targets -- and his team is riding an eight-game losing streak.
"There's no greater competitor in the National Football League than Larry Fitzgerald," Carter said. "There is no wide receiver who likes to look good better than Larry Fitzgerald.
"There is no guy who wants to get the ball and loves seeing himself get the ball to affect the overall outcome of the game."
He has been unable to do that this season, largely through no fault of his own. Fitzgerald has caught passes from three different quarterbacks in 2012 as the Cardinals have searched for someone to replace Kurt Warner.
There is no end in sight to the quest, and Carter said Fitzgerald knew this was possible. That said, the analyst noted his friend is not looking to leave the desert.
"He is very, very frustrated, but he is sold out for the Cardinals," Carter said. "That's his team, that's where he's going to make his home, that's where he's going to live his life."

Law enforcers across south Georgia are bracing for a likely increase in property crimes as summer arrives.
With graduation, kids out of school, and vacations, police say the opportunity for the crime increases. Which is why they say the crime trend escalates over the summer months. Property crimes include thefts, break-ins, and auto thefts @@
Neighbors in the Pine Lake Subdivision are no strangers to property crimes, a rash of crimes in the area last year prompted neighborhood watch programs across the city.
"My son's car was in the backyard and they went in there and took out a stereo, different things in broad daylight, like 10:00 on Saturday morning. We were all here," said Bill Bradley, Pine Lake Subdivision Homeowner.
Bill's not alone, Paul Jones also had his home broken into. All the crime reports in the neighborhood worried their children who encourage them to get a security system.
"It gives you a feeling of security, it really does and of course we've got a little rat terrier that barks at the least thing, that's good protection," said Paul Jones, a Pine Lake Subdivision Homeowner.
We decided to see if neighbors in this area have taken the advice of police an protected their belongings, but when we rode the alleyways we found a lot of yard equipment just sitting in yards, unprotected. Police say property crime is a crime of opportunity.
"Criminals are generally looking for something that's easy to take and if you leave your property available, they'll take it," said Capt. Jimmy Sexton with the Dougherty County Police Department.
We took a look at the numbers in Albany and Dougherty and Lee Counties. Here's what we found: In Lee County, from 2006-through the present the greatest number of vehicle thefts were in May, thefts tended to spike from May to August. In Dougherty County, vehicle thefts were the greatest in June and July and thefts also followed that trend. In Albany, police are taking a closer look at their numbers but we found property crimes from 2008-2010 were the greatest from May to July.
"It's just a trend that occurs during the summer time," said Sexton.
Police say if you mark your equipment, put it away and lock it up, along with locking cars even if they're in your drive way and take the proper steps when you're out of town on vacation.
"Get someone to pick up your mail, pick up your newspaper, that sort of thing, make sure your grass is cut, if you're going to be gone for a long time make it look like somebody's there," said Sexton.
You reduce your risk of falling victim, and make it harder for those looking for an opportunity to commit these types of crime.
Dougherty County Police say there's also evidence that an increase in traffic patrols leads to lower property crimes rates because, criminals know police are riding the streets and are less likely to strike.

Rob Rang posted (at cbssports.com) an interesting article today about the draft's top 12 rated WR's, and it had some interesting new info that I hadn't seen before.
The drafts top 12 WR's average 6-2, 211, while the drafts top 12 CB's average 5-11, 192.
Stephen Hill (6-4, 215) of Georgia Tech ran an "unofficial" Combine 4.28-40 (the best I had heard was a 4.30-40 during the broadcast), but add that to his incredible 1.20-10 yard split, and he's just super fast. Rang adds that while in high school, Hill recorded a 25 foot 8 3/4 inch long jump, adding that this jump would have placed him 9th in the last Olympics.
Chris Givens (5-11 1/8, 198) of Wake Forest had 2 ACL injuries in high school, and averaged 12.5 yards per punt return in college.
Nick Toon (6-1 1/2, 215) of Wisconsin has had 2 left foot surgeries.
This last bit of info comes from the Bleacher Report (so you can take it with a grain of salt), and I found it at the Sporting News NFL page.
They took the Patriots current roster, not including any draft picks, to guess at the Patriots likely 53 man roster, and 2 of their likely roster cuts might catch the Panthers might catch the Panthers interest. These 2 players are NT Ron Brace and SS Josh Barrett, who due to injuries their first 3 seasons, haven't posted a lot of stats yet, so here are their Combine numbers.
Ron Brace (#40 pick in 2009) - 6-3,330, 5.48-40, 32 bench reps, 28 inch vertical jump, 8-3 broad jump, 4.73 20-yard shuttle, and a 8.15 3-cone drill. He's in the last year of his rookie contract.
SS - Josh Barrett (#220 pick in 2008) - 6-2, 225, 4.34-40, 17 bench reps, 31.5 inch vertical jump, 10-1 broad jump, 4.27 20-yard shuttle, and a 7.07 3-cone drill.
The Patriots might be willing to trade them before the draft, or just wait until the finar roster cutdowns before the start of the regular season, in case of any training camp injuries. The Patriots might be interested in trading for one of the Panthers DB's (CB's R. J. Sanford or Josh Thomas, or one of their S's like Jordan Pugh).

Showa Shellplans to spend 160 billion yen ($1.7 billion) over the next five yearsto boost its thin film solar panel production from 80 megawatts now to1 gigawatt, a company executive told reporters in Tokyo Tuesday (see Bloomberg story).
The oil company started in 2007 the commercial production of solarpanels using copper, indium and gallium (CIS) as the key materials forconverting sunlight into electricity. Showa Shell has two factories inthe Miyazaki Prefecture that could produce a combined 80 megawatts ofpanels per year. It's looking at converting a former plasma TV factoryinto a third factory, which would start production in 2011.
Interesting, news about Showa Shell's plan to reach 1 gigawatt inproduction capacity surfaced last June. Back then, the company reportedly said it would spend 100 billion yen ($944 million) to achieve the goal.
CIS panels are close cousins of panesl that make use of copper,indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS). CIS panels should be easier tomake and possibly cheaper, but they also aren't as efficient at turningsunlight into power as CIGS panels.
Fellow Japanese solar company Honda Soltec, for example, is makingCIGS panels. Honda Soltec started selling CIGS panels for residentialmarket in 2007 and has a factory that could produce 27.5 megawatts ofpanels per year, according to its website. The company started selling its products for the commercial market last October.
A number of CIGS players are startup companies in the United States, including Solyndra, Nanosolar, Miasole and HelioVolt.
Ascent Solar,which is based in Thornton, Colo., is taking a different approach frommany others by using plastic instead of glass on which to deposit theCIGS semiconductors. It announced Tuesday that it would supply solarpanels to 2-year-old Bye Aerospace, which plans to put solar panels onunmanned aerial vehicles for the military market. The aircraftswouldn't run solely on solar, of course. Bye Aerospace, headquarterednear Denver, has just started approaching the U.S. government with itsproduct idea.

The Super Bowl champion New York Giants will take the field against Tim Tebow and the New York Jets on Saturday, Aug. 18. With it being the second game of the preseason, we should probably expect the starters to stay in at least a few drives before being pulled for subs. It's important to let the first-string guys get their reps, but the very last thing the coaching staffs want is for unnecessary injuries to arise.
For the Giants, it's all about working out the kinks. This team clearly has what it takes to make another deep run this season, but a lot will be dictated on just how hard Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, Osi Umenyiora and crew work in the preseason. Now that they have a huge target on their back, you can bet every team in the league will be gunning for New York these next few months.
The Jets are committed to working Tebow into their offense, and we're expecting to see even more of the NFL's most talked-about quarterback on Saturday. Look for plenty of Tebow Time this evening, all while Mark Sanchez continues working towards a breakout season.
Start Time & Location: Kickoff from MetLife Stadium is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET.
TV Schedule: NFL Network will air the game nationally for everyone to see.
Odds: The Giants opened as one-point favorites over the Jets.
Team Sites: Check out Big Blue View for Giants coverage. Head to Gang Green Nation for Jets news throughout the year. Be sure to visit SB Nation's NFL Hub for news surrounding all NFL teams this season.

Palo Alto looks to trim managers' benefits
Original post made on Aug 31, 2012

I hope PA will tackle this issue, which aso goes well beyond here.
I don't have much confidence in Jerry Brown's overly-dramatized proposal, which I understand would kick in for NEW state employees starting work January 1! There have been comments from pundits suggesting even this modest proposal will be heavily watered down by the state legislature, which is controlled by public sector unions in this state.
What about our CURRENT problems which include an obvious problem of bloated pensions, double dipping, etc.?! There have been many alarming published reports documenting outrageous pension schemes.
This morning on tv news, I caught sight of a report of a former Bell government employee suing for his/her pension, despite the incredible fraud of that whole situation down in Southern California.

Perhaps it is time to evaluate the number of managers a city of our size has.
Perhaps it is time to rethink and say too many chiefs and not enough indians.
Perhaps it is time to see where we can cut costs at the top, shrinking administrative costs, merging with similar departments in the county or neighboring cities, and saving some real money to help us balance our budget without losing service.
on Aug 31, 2012 at 9:48 am
There are somewhere around 1100 FTEs on the City's payroll, and maybe 300-400 part time people. Two hundred managers seems like a lot for 900 non-managerial employees. Although this 1 Manager to 4.5 employees has been noted in the past, nothing has ever come of restructuring the organization so that a more reasonable span-of-control could be achieved.
Now this bloating in the management side of the organization happened is probably not something that we can understand unless we looked at a year-by-year change in the head counts of both managerial and non-managerial staffing. Also not clear from this article is how many line managers there are, and how many managers there are with few direct reports.
The City Council has demonstrated itself to be useless in oversee this organization. There simply is no way that we can return any of the incumbents to continue "business as usual".

Isabella County will consider eliminating their road commission board.
Right now the road commission is run by an independent board not by the county commission.
The county commission is creating a committee to review the idea of taking over the road commission's responsibilities. On Tuesday, Governor Snyder signed a bill allowing counties to do just that.
In some counties, like Isabella, voters would have to approve the idea, in others it is in the hands of county commissioners.
9 and 10's Kyle Mitchell and Photojournalist Jacob Johnson have more on what this could mean.

A Higher Hum: Breath and Mantra Meditation
Within yoga, mantras are based upon sounds that reflect the energy of our divine nature. Om is considered to be the universal, consummate mantra. The following meditation is based upon the mantra "so hum," ("I am that") used within the traditions of Tantra and Vedanta. Since "so hum" also indicates the sound of the breath, it is a mantra that repeats itself effortlessly.
Find a comfortable posture for meditation (seated on a cushion or blanket, in a chair or against a wall). Place your palms facing up in jnana mudra (forefinger and thumb touching) with your palms facing up to open your awareness or facing down to calm the mind. Scan your body and relax any tension. Let your spine rise from the ground of the pelvis. Draw your chin slightly down and let the back of your neck lengthen.
Bring your attention to the tidal rhythm of your breath, feeling the rise and fall of your inhalation and exhalation. As your focus settles on your breath, begin to employ the simple mantra "so hum." As you inhale, say "so" silently to yourself, and as you exhale say "hum." Keep your focus on the sensation of your breath while silently repeating the sacred syllables, "so hum." As you drink your inhalation, gently drawing your breath along the base of your throat, listen for the sound of "so." As you exhale, listen for the sound of "hum" as your breath is amplified in the throat.
Let your mind become absorbed in the sound of so hum-in your internal chanting and your actual breath. As if you were watching the waves of the ocean, let your mind be naturally drawn into presence and stillness—no place to go, nothing to do, so hum, so hum. If a thought (vritti) arises, come back to the mantra so hum.
In the beginning, it may be helpful to set an external timer for 10, 20, or 30 minutes so you are not distracted. When you are finished, bring your hands together in anjali mudra (prayer position) and close with a moment of gratitude, reflection, or prayer to soak up the energy of your meditation into your being and life.

All Out Cricket takes a look at the vital role that NatWest CricketForce plays in renovating and re-invigorating cricket clubs up and down the country.
When it comes to getting your ground ready for the cricket season it really does pay to start as early as possible.
Organising winter nets seems like the most pressing concern at this time of year, but neglecting vital renovation or improvement work ahead of the season, can have long-lasting consequences.
In recreational cricket, clubs are, as much as anything else, defined by their facilities and putting off necessary or desired improvements can discourage both existing and prospective players and cost the club more in the long-run.
For many clubs, of course, it is difficult to find the resources – both human and financial – to facilitate such projects. With just a few thousand pounds coming in on an annual basis, anything more than basic maintenance of the playing area or repairing a few fences can seem beyond many clubs' reach.
But it doesn't have to be like this. NatWest Cricket Force is an ECB volunteering initiative aimed at rejuvenating the nation's cricketing facilities, and since 2002 it has been encouraging cricket supporters, their friends and families to give something back to their local community cricket club by volunteering to undertake major renovations to clubhouses and grounds.
Guiding you through the process of organising your event and drumming up support from volunteers and local businesses, CricketForce also offers you the services of its official partners, a long list of companies from the ground equipment and construction trade that offer fantastic discounts to any club that signs up to the initiative.
From just one club in its first year, CricketForce has grown beyond all expectation, and in 2010 a record 1,642 clubs and an estimated 85,000 volunteers took part in the three-day event.
It seems that more and more clubs are realising the benefits of CricketForce and, at time of writing, almost 1,000 clubs had already signed up for the 2011 event. Best of all, any club can get involved, and it is amazing what can be achieved with just a little bit of preparation and three days of hard work.
A great example of this was the experience of Derbyshire's Ashbourne CC. Having signed up to CricketForce for the first time last year, Ashbourne managed to secure £1,500 funding from Waitrose, persuaded a number of local businesses to help out and even got the local mayor to clean their toilets!
With further support from 50 volunteers and even the town council, the whole community came together to paint the inside and outside of the pavilion, repair broken and rotten fascia, paint surrounding fences and generally clean up the club. Not bad for CricketForce novices.
Looking ahead to this year's event, David Leighton, the ECB's Club Programmes Manager, said: "The ECB target is to have 1,800 clubs participating in 2011 increasing to over 2000 in 2013. With the current financial climate biting hard, people are finding that by helping themselves, others are supporting and the most amazing results are being produced."
Sound like something your club could do?

After two weeks and very strange happenings Taylor Buchholz got his first ML start. Overall it was a good start with very few bad pitches. The only hits he gave up were homeruns(2). Two fastballs that were thrown over and crushed. He looked great most of the time but if you were watching the game you could really see how excited he was. I think he will do better if he can maintain his emotions in the future.
IP H R ER BB K HR Season ERA
T. Buchholz 6.0 2 3 2 3 4 2 3.18
Pitch totals: FB 58 34-24 CB 22 15-7 CH 2 2-0 SL 3 2-1
That is the totals then strikes and balls.
His fastball did not drop that much. In the first he was throwing 94-96. In the sixth he was throwing 92-94. He touched 98 one time in the fourth and is capable of dialing up his fastball to 95-96 for one pitch in any inning in a big count(for the record Bush was at 89-91 all night and Capellan was at 93-96 so if that sounds right for them then the gun was on). As you can see he worked FB CB all game and showed his slider and change a few times.
The only two balls that wer pulled or hit hard were the two homers. Once again most of the batters were very late and there were tons of foul tips on really bad/late swings. I think he can come in and really have a great year right now. I don't see him ever playing a game in the minors again unless he gets hurt or goes crazy.

By KRISTIN FARLEY 6 News Anchor/Reporter
MEMPHIS (WATE) - A love of art as a young child has turned into an unlikely business success for a Tennessee woman.
Katie Kalsi didn't even buy her first handbag until 2001. Now she's designing one of the fastest growing custom, handcrafted handbag lines in production.
Made in Tennessee tracked Katie down recently. She's been traveling around the country promoting a new deal with Belk department stores.
One of the most eye catching things about Katie's line, now displayed at Belk in West Town Mall in Knoxville, are the hobo bags with the painted interchangeable straps.
"The fact that people can walk around with artwork on their shoulders, I just think that is so cool," she said.
The 33 year old has been an artist for as long as she can remember. In 2006 she married her love of oil painting with handbags. "I hand painted every one of those straps. It was nuts, but it was worth it," Katie said.
She made the first two dozen at her Memphis home and says the look quickly caught on. "People just started wearing them around and then people just started asking for them."
Katie was able to partner with someone and when production picked up, some big name stars started to take notice.
"Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Pat Benatar, Lisa Marie Presley that is a good one. She said she wore a hole in hers she wore it around so much," Katie said with a laugh.
Katie Kalsi bags have been almost solely in boutiques until just a few weeks ago. She inked a deal with Belk and now the bags are sold in 70 Belk stores in 11 states.
"I am a Tennessee girl and I am very excited to be part of Belk," she told us.
Proto-types for the bags are still being done in Tennessee, but production is being done in another state.
However that may change one day. "I would love to have a factory in Memphis, Tennessee," Katie said.
Kalsi bags start around $200 and if you like her interchangeable straps, she says she has about 20 new strap designs ready for her fall line.

BIG GAME this weekend. No, not Stanford vs. Cal, that's THE Big Game (aka the chance to send Uowned down to the Las Vegas Bowl to get creamed by BYU. Again.)
I'm talking about OSU vs. Arizona. It's big, it's huge, it's important. You should definitely watch it.
Check out this awesome slide show preview.

I received a message from one of BTD's biggest fans letting us know that he was going to be down in Tucson when the team gets off the bus on Game Day. He is friends with several players on the team and was hoping to get some ideas for a sign that he will hold up to give the team an inspirational message before they seal the deal against 'zona.
What should it say?

You've heard of the Hubble Telescope, the famous piece of space engineering launched in 1990 to capture more detailed images of the stars and galaxies. What you may not know is that engineers are working to create a new telescope to further their knowledge of the final frontier. This new telescope, called the James Webb Space Telescope, can capture infrared images and is scheduled to launch in 2018. This video explains more of what the Webb will be able to accomplish:
The Advantages of the Webb Space Telescope:
- Infrared Imaging - Rather than capturing the visible light that's produced by stars and planets, Webb will capture the infrared light that these bodies produce. The further a star or planet is away, the more the visible light that it produces is stretched. This visible light becomes infrared light meaning we need an infrared image to see the plants and stars that are really, really far away.
- Larger Mirror - Just like a larger sensor in a camera, the larger surface area of the mirrors in the Webb will increase its resolution, providing scientists with more detailed images (Via Petapixel).
- Launched Into Space - Just like the Hubble Telescope, the James Webb will be launched into space to overcome the atmospheric distortion that plagues regular land-based telescopes.
