With the talk of reducing the current 162 game regular season schedule gaining some steam among insiders, it's time to take a look at other possible changes and improvements. I know you definitely won't agree with most if any of them, but I believe in them and, hopefully, you'll at least see the reasoning behind it. So, without further ado, I give you the inaugural ShoesOnSports OCTOPUS! Eight ways to fix something that is more profitable than ever!
1. Reduce the schedule to 154 game
The most obvious. The World Series ends far too late in the year. I think everybody would agree with that. This is also not a game meant to be played while wearing four layers of clothes and a mesh mask to protect from frostbite. In a perfect world, I'd actually reduce this a bit further, but we know what a ruckus this will cause over the income being given up by the owners by reducing the amount of event dates. Cutting just over a week off the schedule makes games more meaningful, helps players better manage their personal wear and tear and ends the season sooner in the calendar year. This should happen.
2. Abolish interleague play!
It came, it was fun for a while and now it's redundant for no reason. A lot of teams don't have "natural" rivals and so much of this is forced beyond the fact that it takes away from the appeal of the World Series and All-Star Game. Those events had an extra layer of intrigue to them in the past because we hadn't seen these teams or players go at it during the year. That's lost now and it's time to fix it. Plus, as a Mets fan who couldn't care less about the Yankees, those games have zero extra meaning to me beyond being a game I could make money on by re-selling my tickets. Besides if we're going to cut games off the schedule, we need to reallocate those matchups because we're about to…
3. Abolish divisions!
Right now, we have three division leaders and two Wild Card teams that qualify for some form of postseason play in each league. We also have unbalanced schedules within divisions and interleague play which leads to an unequal strength of schedule between the teams all competing for the same playoff positions. By eliminating both interleague play and the heaviness of a predominant inter-divisional schedule, we turn to playing all teams within the NL equally with the top 5 qualifying and playing under the same postseason format. If we want the regular season to matter, we can't continue to have teams from stronger divisions (i.e. the 2015 Pirates) get punished while division winners in weak divisions (i.e. the 2015 Mets) get a guaranteed series of play because of quirk. The best teams should be in the best positions.
5. Force hitters and pitchers to hurry up
I was watching a Mets classic game recently and was taken aback with how quick the game moved from pitch to pitch. Ron Darling was on the mound for the Mets and as soon as he received the ball back from the catcher, he was back on the rubber ready to throw his next pitch. The hitter never left the box and was prepared for it and the game moved at a brisk pace. This is important. Games take too long. I love baseball and I think games have an incredible tendency to get boring and slow. What does that say about casual fans? Where's the incentive for them to sit and watch or attend a game? I'm constantly disheartened by how many people at games nowadays couldn't care less about the game. They're there for the clubs or perks or whatever else the stadium offers that means they don't have to sit in their seat and watch the game. You're not building newer, younger fans with a three and a half hour trudge through molasses.
6. Call the high strike
We say it all the time: the strike zone is from the knees to the letters, but hardly ever is anything above the belt called a strike. Start calling it. Make these players swing the bats and keep the game moving. We all get strategy and the benefits and taking pitches and trying to get the starter out of the game, but we've got other stuff to do and while we want to watch the game, we also want to get to bed at a decent time. Offense drives interest. Make players swing the bats. This isn't even a new rule. Just call it the way it's written.
7. Ban "God Bless America"
Keep your politics out of my baseball. This is not the national anthem and I do not have to stand and remove my hat for this. I don't and I never will. We honor America at the beginning of each game by playing the real national anthem. That's sufficient.
8. Day games on weekends: No excuses
No more ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. No more FOX game of the week at 7 PM on Saturdays. Give both networks an NFL-like 1Pm east coast and 4PM west coast game and that's it. While I understand that people work weekends now more than ever, you're not doing yourselves any favors by continually making kids leave games early because they take forever and Dad wants to beat the traffic. This also serves another purpose by making MLB destination afternoon viewing during months without other sports competition and opens fans up to seeing players and teams they're not accustomed to. The game has become so regionalized that this would help in the marketing and exposure of superstar players. Sure, you know Mike Trout is great, but how many of you that don't have MLB At-Bat and don't work nights actually get to see him play. He's just a name in a box score to most people. That has to change. This is a good way to help that along.
There you have it. Eight ways to improve the presentation and nature of the baseball season. Comments, complaints and verbal jousting welcome and expected.

I think it is about time for another Reiki share 🙂
I have been channelling Reiki via distant healing and face-to-face for friends, family and those in need since 1999. I don't charge money and I don't run a business. I believe Reiki healing should be available for everyone who needs it.
I am limiting this Reiki share to three people due to time restraints and my own other healing commitments. You may nominate someone else to receive Reiki from me but I must have their email address in order to get their permission and discuss their particular needs.
If your name is drawn out I will contact you via email, ask if you have any particular needs and arrange a suitable time and day for us both. You can receive the healing at anytime of the day or night but it is always a more rounded experience for you if you receive it when you are able to stop what you are doing and relax.
As before, I am offering a free Reiki distant healing session of 30 minutes to the first three followers of this blog who are drawn out of the hat on Sunday 20th November 2016. You must be already following me as of today's date – 18th November 2016 – to qualify. Please send me your contact details using the form below and I will contact you via email if your name is pulled out to arrange a suitable date and time for us both.
I will not be announcing who has received Reiki from me in a later post as I believe this is confidential between myself and the recipients. Privacy is always respected.
Disclaimer: By entering in to this draw you are agreeing to receive Reiki from me at your own risk. I am not a medical professional and if you have any concerns about your health then you should seek advice from someone face to face and qualified to help you. I cannot diagnose, nor suggest treatments, for any illnesses on a one to one basis.

In response to an open letter from US Senators Elizabeth Warren, Barbara Boxer, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand and others inquiring about their agencies' progress on loosening federal cannabis policy, the directors of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) have dropped tantalizing hints of possible reform in just a few months. That's a big mouthful, but the short version is that the Obama administration may have some exciting news in cannabis reform this summer.
The letter is replete with inside information on the workings of often shrouded federal drug bureaucracy. But beyond the amusement value of learning what the feds classify as 'high-THC' cannabis (5-10%), the letter is well worth the read for a couple of suggestive hints of potential cannabis reform in DC.
Top of the list? The DEA acknowledges that it has received a scheduling recommendation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and DHHS, and that it is "reviewing these documents and all relevant data to make a scheduling determination in accordance with the CSA [Controlled Substances Act]." And when will we hear about it? "DEA understands the widespread interest in the prompt resolutions of these petitions and hopes to release its determination in the first half of 2016." Time will tell whether they hit that deadline, but some kind of announcement is on the way soon.
Of course the DEA has heard rescheduling petitions before. The CSA permits any interested party to initiate a rescheduling petition, but in the usual course of business the DEA reschedules at the request of the FDA and DHHS — the same agencies which have filed paperwork for cannabis here. This does not necessarily mean that the DEA will reschedule cannabis this year — after all, the FDA and DHHS may have recommended that the herb stay in Schedule I — but it means that it could.
There are other reasons to think that the DEA will take some kind of rescheduling action sooner or later. If it does, it will not be the first time the agency did something to help out producers of high CBD extracts, an illuminating move at a time when a foreign pharmaceutical corporation has FDA-approved trials underway for their line of — you guessed it — high CBD extracts. And according to the latest update, that extract (Epidiolex, from GW Pharmaceuticals) had attained both Orphan Drug and Fast Track status at the FDA, and having completed its first successful Phase 3 trial is planning two more for the year. That's about as favorable a bureaucratic treatment as any drug ever gets at the FDA, so I for one would be surprised if the recommendation from the agency were damning.
But while these signs augur well for GW Pharm, street bud dealers should hold off on the legalization joint a while longer. The DEA could easily choose to reschedule cannabis extracts without rescheduling flowers and shake, leaving federal laws on smoked cannabis essentially unchanged. And even rescheduling is a long way from legalization, as it shifts jurisdiction for drugs from the DEA to the FDA, and as a couple dozen CBD oil companies just found out, the FDA can write a mean enforcement letter even if it doesn't often show up at raids. So rescheduling is really only "legalization" for the corporations which can afford a marathon run through the FDA approval process.
Even more intriguing are passages from the response practically drawing a blueprint for reformers to achieve a long-sought goal: the approval of more licenses to grow federally-legit marijuana. In response to the senators' inquiry of whether there may be a little competition to outdo NIDA's current 5-10% 'high-THC' bud, the agencies gave a revealing answer:
The United States may, consistent with the CSA and Single Convention [the principal United Nations drug control treaty], expand the number of registered bulk manufacturers of marijuana, provided the statutory and treaty requirements are met. Among these requirements would be a determination by DEA (in consultation with NIDA) that the current NIDA contractor (the University of Mississippi) is unable to meet the demands of lawful researchers in the United States.
With the potency of NIDA cannabis approaching nowhere near that of street weed, it's been clear for a while that the University of Mississippi can't keep up with the pro growers of illicit markets. Could the feds be signaling a new willingness to issue new licenses, despite rejecting such a petition only three years ago? It's not clear, but the letter does include this gem:
While we cannot forecast the future interests of researchers, if such researchers required additional strains of marijuana that the University of Mississippi is unable to supply [i.e., not the weak stuff – Ed.], this could provide a basis for DEA to register additional growers.
Judge for yourself, but to me it looks like they're practically telegraphing the bureaucratic secret sauce to turn the wheels of Washington. So while this summer's announcement may likely fall far short of the pipe dream of legalization advocates, there can be no doubt: the scent of reform is in the air.

Have undertaken a through and in-depth review of the SEND provision and processes in your school/setting against the SEND Reforms;
Have a secure knowledge of areas for development in your SEND provision;
Be setting a baseline for a year-on-year comprehensive self-evaluation of SEND provision in your setting (which could be used as evidence for Ofsted inspections);
Support the identification of good practice in Bristol and where there may be gaps in services and resources;
Be supporting the Inclusion Reference Group in better understanding what SEND provision currently looks like and how it needs to develop;
Informing and therefore enhancing the support given by educational psychologists from the Inclusion service during their visits.

In 2013 I decided to combine my annual music festival trip with an international trip. Amanda and I headed far east to Montreal for the Osheaga Music Festival. As far as music festivals go, I really really think that Osheaga has got it together and it is my favorite fest today. The location, the people, the logistics, the range of talent (good mix of up-and-comers and brand name artists), and the overall vibe just really works.
This is the island where the fest happens. It's a pretty sweet venue. (I didn't shoot this pic, it's courtesy of the Osheaga Music Festival web site).
Amanda and I getting ready to catch a headliner on the main stage.
I'm always a huge fan of up-and-coming artists on the electro stage. This is Kidnap Kid, who is getting a little more famous now, but last year when we went, his set was pretty empty, which is how I managed to get some real good close-ups.
I was also super stoked cuz we got to hang out with our boy JPatt & B-Roc, aka The Knocks. They played a killer set in the rain one day and let me just say, if you ever get the chance to see The Knocks, don't pass it up.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered and declawed.
Brontë plays well with other cats as he and his sisters are being fostered in a home with four adult cats. He would do well in any home.
He is neutered, has had his shots, and is perfectly litter trained.
To adopt you must first complete an adoption application and either come to an adoption event or arrange to meet the cat in its foster home. We do not do same day adoptions so, generally, we can only adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Bronte, a Gaithersburg Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Gaithersburg, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Gaithersburg.

I have a foul (sewer?) odor coming from sink water. No other water faucets have this problem. I've tried all solutions with baking soda, clorox, Drano etc. I saw a This Old House episode where the problem lay with the tub faucet. or some valve within the workings of that faucet in the shower. Any ne remember this? And how is it solved?

sink water odor in bathroom
Sat, 05/12/2012 - 12:30(Reply to #1) #2
Are you sure the odor is coming from the water and not from the sink or it's drain? If it's from the water it would be the same at all your faucets.
Sat, 05/12/2012 - 14:51(Reply to #2) #3
It's very odd, but the odor only develops when we turn on the sink water, no where else in the house, and, most odd, only when the water is running. This Old House had an episode on this exact problem about a year or so ago (may have been a repeat), but I can't find any info on it. And plumbers around here think I'm crazy.
Sat, 05/12/2012 - 17:17(Reply to #3) #4
Try this:
Disconnect the sink trap and examine it and the rest of the drain. If you need, clean it or replace it.
See if this works.
Sat, 05/12/2012 - 17:27(Reply to #4) #5
The odor may be coming from the overflow on the sink. Try pouring bleach directly into the overflow.

Hermèscope is the title of a window display I designed for Maison Hermès in Japan to inaugurate their new spring/summer collection 2014. Hermès' annual theme for the windows is "Metamorphosis", and so with that in mind the idea was to create a ever changing display.
The starting point for the project is the mythic "Carré Hermès" created in 1937 which pattern is screen-printed on silk. Applying the principle of the Kaleidoscope to the different windows of the Maison Hermès in Ginza allows the passers by, to contemplate an ever-changing set of patterns that evolve slowly and are created using the Hermes S/S 2014 collection.
Beyond the idea of the Kaleidoscope is the relationship between science and nature, and my fascination for mathematically modelled shapes. Symmetry in one or several axes is common in nature. Flowers, starfish and many other animals show symmetrical patterns on their body. This symmetrical characteristic, which is abundant in plants and flowers to create patterns, is used here to suggest the spring but also the constantly changing cycles of nature.
The installation aims to generate a visual metamorphosis of shapes and colours, producing intricate patterns that change in real time, and are made by framing details of the items that form the Hermès S/S 2014 collection.

I'm on one hell of a brutal trip this week. Landed in Sydney on Wednesday am, in meetings wed pm through to 6pm on Friday, up at 2.30am to catch flight to Dubai. I'm currently sat waiting for that flight (it's about 5am here) , 14 hour flight, meetings all day Sunday and Monday, then back home 😳. It's easy to see the glamour in bus travel (I'm flying emirates business and I've been upgraded to first), but the reality is I'd much prefer a wet week in Warrington!

I work from home. When things are running smoothly, I don't have to do much. When things go pear shaped, I can't see which way I went. I wouldn't have it any other way as things run smoothly most of the time.
I would hate to have to drive or fly thousands of miles a month on business.

I used to travel plenty as well, at least once a month. While sometimes it can be pretty cool when I get to go places like Iceland, more often than not it's just business. Take a flight, do whatever I need to do, and come home, no more than necessary.
Flying can leave you jaded, especially with all the fuss that is modern day airport security and whatnot. And many times I've woken up in hotels wondering where I am and what time is it.

Safe travels!
Travel can be fun but business travel, as ben said, usually involves a lot of rushing about. You also left out the bit where you get home and at some point feel like somebody has punched you in the face several times and you're not sure which country you are in or even what planet you are on for a few days......
I find after a long haul trip I'm fine the day I get home and maybe even the next day. Then "bam"!

I don't get to travel which I would like, well I like the idea of at least. Otherwise I'm incredibly lucky in that I work full time but don't work Fridays and I'm home based. A salary increase would be nice, though.

I love travelling, but doing it for work isn't much fun. I find it frustrating as you don't usually have time to explore or have someone to share it with. Thankfully it's rare in this job, shouldn't be long haul (although I did get asked to go to Vegas a few months ago) and is pretty much completely within my control.
Emirates Business Class is nice (gaudy trim aside), but I agree, not even an upgrade would make travelling so far in such a short period of time an enjoyable experience.

Just looking at wedding/honeymoon ideas. Always wanted to go to the Seychelles, and you can now fly from Birmingham on Qatar
I was expecting the flights to be mega expensive, but you can fly for £700 (business class for £1700)
We walked through business class on Emirates when we went to Dubai and it didn't look like it was worth an extra grand
My way round this is to book economy, and take massive advantage of the unlimited food and drink on board. We must have had 3 bottles of wine each going to Dubai and we had no problems sleeping

My travel is all domestic and although I do fly several times a year it's mostly just the Sleazyjet shuttle from Gatwick to Glasgow. It would be nice to use the train more as I enjoy long distance rail journeys for the scenery and not having to sit through the roadworks on the M1 but the cost is ridiculous and I keep finding that my destination is nowhere near a station!

I rarely travel for business outside of London presently. When I do it's on a train.
I fly for family stuff and this week have booked flights to Alicante and to Crete, one at half term and one the first week of summer holidays. In the late 90s I used to fly to a different European city every week building a fibre optic network for C&W. I was late 20s / early 30s and to be fair it was fucking brilliant.

Last flight I did was yesterday from Ireland to Wales - whole thing seemed faintly ridiculous - started travelling at 4am to drop off hire car at 4.30 for a 6.25 flight. Nothing wrong with the flight, just that it took us within 20 miles of our house then carried on for another 120 miles to Bristol. Only about 40 mins in the air, then 20 mins or so before we could get off the plane and another 20 mins to get through the airport and a car park collection bus that was 45 minutes late - longer waiting for the bus than the actual bloody flight. 2hrs30mins to drive home - only saving grace was that now the Severn Bridge does contactless cards it's so much quicker - for the first time ever in 39 years of crossing the bridge there was not a single car to queue behind.
So for an as-the-crow-files journey of 140 miles it took 7.5 hours!

That's the thing about flying or any sort of point to point travel. The door to door time is totally out of all proportion to the train / flight time. For instance when I go to my employers' HQ in California, it is 21-22 hours home to hotel. Yet the flight is "only" 11 and bit hours of that.

Yep. My train time home to work is 24 minutes. Factor in the door to door its 1hr. Bike door to door is 30 minutes; max 40, although I've got another 6 month tour of duty at StPauls so that'll go up to 50minutes max.

The joys of our train services. I think it's quicker to get from Farnborough Main to Waterloo than it is to get from somewhere like Kingston into a central London terminus/terminal.

I've got one - it would be an expensive trip though - it would use about 120 gallons (just over a tank full!) to go there and back and still take 6 plus hours each way, plus I would need decent weather windows.

Garden Invaders!
Nubian Goats, Katahdin Sheep, Chickens, Ducks, Dogs and Novelist Adrienne Morris live here (with humans).
In the beginning was the Garden of Eden and then we blew it. God said, "Yep, I gave you guys free choice, so have at it in the real world. But, you know, because of your pride it's gonna be kind of a pain to grow things the way I did for you–and you're welcome, Adam. Women's bodies are pretty great. Beauty is my thing."
So Adam looked around. He waited for someone to tell him how to grow those awesome eggplants God used for his baba ganoush, but the elephants blew water in his face and Eve just moaned about morning sickness.
Adam wiped the sweat from his brow. "Okay, no need to panic. God gave me these heirloom seeds–don't know what that means, but it's all I got."
A goat stood nearby.
"Hey, goat, any words of wisdom?" Adam asked. "I didn't think so."
As Adam sowed the seed, "some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold."
Adam and Eve had some children and Adam, still kinda thinking he might one day master the Master's techniques, staked out all the fertile land on earth. He kept wondering why if the whales he and his children killed for blubber and light were so damned smart why didn't they speak up? Yeah, some of his friends heard recordings of whale songs and stuff, but none of them wrote novels or anything. His friends began to clamor on the internet–humans suck! They need to be done away with for wrecking the soil, but Adam remembered how horrible he felt when one of his own was murdered by another.
Adam turned off his coffee maker, considering the electricity it used. He felt guilty about whale oil . He remembered how excited and happy people were when the first manufactured gas plants were built as a clean and efficient way of lighting the dreary streets (for God's light still had not been fully understood and harnessed). He read Wikipedia:
"The manufacturing process for "synthetic fuel gases" (also known as "manufactured fuel gas", "manufactured gas" or simply "gas") typically consisted of the gasification of combustible materials, almost always coal, but also wood and oil. The coal was gasified by heating the coal in enclosed ovens with an oxygen-poor atmosphere. The fuel gases generated were mixtures of many chemical substances, including hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide and ethylene, and could be burnt for heating and lighting purposes. Coal gas, for example, also contains significant quantities of unwanted sulfur and ammonia compounds, as well as heavy hydrocarbons, and so the manufactured fuel gases needed to be purified before they could be used."
Adam hung his head in shame. Why had he not known that the clay soil he thought would protect the earth from the unwanted hydrocarbons was not sufficient and that Superfund clean-up crews would be needed years after the last gaslights were extinguished? Maybe it was humans who needed to be purified before being used, he thought, but his pride had never been conquered and once again he set out to grow things on his own terms.
He'd find a way. He'd invent pesticides and fertilizers. He'd organize mass movements against pollution even as he used the technology that created the pollution. Things were getting out of hand, so he popped a few more pills to quell his growing anxiety at the state of the soil before heading to the beach.
Adam cried out on the edge of the dying sea near Fukishima. "Whales! Whales! Come close and tell me the secret of the soils and the fishes! If I worship you will nature come back?"
A whale surfaced. Its big, soulful eye expressed the groaning of all creation. Adam sat in the sand and wept. A small still voice came then. This voice was familiar though nearly forgotten. "I love every swallow, every lily, every whale. Adam, you search and search for fertile soil. You deplete everything you touch. You're not in Eden anymore and no amount of clicking your heals together is going to change that."
"But why? Why didn't the gas manufacturing work?" Adam asked. "Or the organic certification? Why won't designer babies work? Anyone has to be better than Cain was. Why can't I just grow those damn eggplants without bugs and bad weather? I added plenty of manure and compost!"
The voice said, "PRIDE."
"In the Garden–remember? You wanted to be gods."
"Yes," Adam said ruefully.
"The opposite of pride is ENOUGH," the voice said. "The opposite of pride is gratitude and generosity and love and with love there's God."
Adam jumped to his feet. "I waited for the trees to speak to me, but it's you, isn't it? God?"
"Yes. And with God all things are possible. Love the soil I made for you and love even the people who despise the soil. Gently plant seeds in them. It's not too late to save the soil."
Lori Fontanes at What The Ducks invited me to meditate on how we can save the stuff our food grows in. Any ideas or thoughts?
Blogger Action Day: Save the Soils
Another informative post about dirt!
Debt free! Sustainable! Vegan! Sinless! It's what the eco-friendly people say about rural living. It's what utopian idealists have always said and on a pretty late spring evening when the goat kids are murmuring secret things in their pen and the chickens are perched outside their coop preening themselves one last time before sundown I almost believe it.
But then there's reality. You've all seen the deep wrinkles in the leathery faces of the farmers pictured in Ford commercials–they're not just from smoking.
Debt-free: Always buy used cars and trucks and things that go. Sounds great until the truck's brakes give out on the highway, the minivan's wheel bearings go all crazy and the Jetta's timing belt, windows, brakes and air conditioning all threaten to go on the fritz.
Sustainably independent and self-sufficient: Hmm, what about shoes? We have clay soil so maybe I should check to see if hemp grows in these parts but I think it's illegal. I don't want to kill the deer that leave the dear ticks that kill the goats but not before a painful death . . . Okay, maybe I can make shoes out of tree bark. But you know, I really like writing and when will I ever have time for it if I'm felling trees and making shoes and underwear (after raising sheep and spinning wool and weaving cloth). I'm allergic to wool.
So maybe I'll just be a vegan–low carbon footprint and all that. Again–clay soil. We need to truck in tons of manure since six goats hardly change the soil composition. What grows in clay? Buckwheat maybe if you can turn over the soil. Did you know buckwheat is a protein?
Well, maybe it's just best not to think of it all. Maybe it's just fun having cute little animals . . . and milk. Milking is therapeutic, right? Until mastitis hits and you feel like the scum of the earth for missing some cleanliness issue. Now you bring buckets of bleach water for each goat, you wash up over and over, you massage udders–every few hours . . . and then the next doe goes into labor. It goes on a bit long and you worry, wait and wonder if at 3 am you should get the vet over. Things turn critical fast when you see two kid heads bursting out and one is terribly stuck.You glance out at the mountains and the way the moon is lit for romance, before slipping your hand and then your arm deep inside the very upset mother goat. You feel a tiny chest with a tiny heartbeat and for a moment think, "This kid has no front legs!" Then you feel some more and realize the front legs are in the wrong position. You find a tiny armpit and just like that the kid slips out onto the floor.
While I love my life I find that it's not so simple. But it can be cute. Here's the two little darlings who made life a bit crazy this week:
There were a few days this summer when we should have been paying more attention. If you check your chicks on the first day they're hatched you can sex them. I refuse to kill animals on the first day of life. I just can't do it. I won't do it, but having nine roosters with only sixteen or so hens is a recipe for disaster, too. We should have sexed the chicks and separated them.
During the summer it's easy to find homes for roosters, but now in winter not so easy. They gang up on the girls and Tommy our head rooster is fed up with the others.
Right now we're paying for a lot of pets. Winter will keep the boys from being too sex-crazed (I hope since the young ones are very rough partners). I'll keep looking for homes and kicking myself for letting things get out of hand.
I'll never be a real farmer because I think chickens are too cute.

Charlotte names economic-development chief
The city of Charlotte has selected Brad Richardson to lead its economic development efforts.
Richardson was promoted to fill the position vacated by Tom Flynn, who retired last month after 30 years of service for the city.
The city only considered insiders for the post.
Richardson will answer to former councilman Pat Mumford, who was hired by the city last year to consolidate Charlotte's economic development and business services divisions into one department.
The city first hired Richardson in 1999 as a Special Projects Coordinator for the City Manager's Office. Three years later, he moved to the city's economic development department to work on business retention and expansion.
Richardson previously handled worked in convention center and arena management with the Charlotte Coliseum-Convention Center Authority before it was reorganized as the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority.

Thanks, but I'm still having problems with compiling D-BUS, although I've managed to complete ./configure and get onto make. :-) The problem is in the Python bindings. It compiles everything else just fine. It complains about the file python/dbus_bindings.c which, as far as I can tell, is an output from Pyrex. Here is the relevant part of the output from make: http://www.qscomputing.net/dbusmake/make.txt and the file dbus_bindings.c: http://www.qscomputing.net/dbusmake/dbus_bindings.c I haven't included them in this post because they are both rather long. Please could somebody suggest what's going wrong and how to fix it? Thanks very much, - QS Computing.

Multi Media Projects x3 Comes to an End
If you haven't seen my previous post on this subject you can find them here and here.
For a quick recap I picked up some vintage dress form fabric panels a while back and knew they were destined to be tricked out with all kinds of additives.
I have used fabric paint, ribbons, scraps of other fabrics, pearls, feathers, crystals, invisible thread etc. etc. what ever I could find that would bring these from lovely to stupendous!
My least favorite part was centering the panels and glueing them to the canvas with scrap fabrics all around the sides to cover my staples. That was tedious and a snooze fest.
My favorite part was adding the ribbons, tulle, crystals and fabric paint.
Ironically the last panel which is the plainest of all panels is my most challenging. I did not have any beautiful curves in the background to trace over with the gold fabric paint but decided to highlight some of the diagonal lines over the faded checkered background.
I ran out of crystals and will also adorn some areas with the bronze Swarovski crystals. I like the effect of painting the shaded areas of the dress with the black, silvery glitter, I used some floating medium so it wasn't to thick.
When I got to the sash on the dress my first instinct was to make a sash that dimension and sew it on there to mimic the same drape BUT in my haste to finish or try to use what I have which is the black ribbon I attempted to make that work....it didn't and I ripped it off.
Hence the glue residue in the picture. No worries I will make a trip to buy a very small piece of black satin material and go with my first instinct. That will complete this panel! Yay I can then take all three to Michael's to get stringed for hanging on the wall.
So my plans for these wall hangings is to keep one for my sewing room and imagine that mermaid figure dress is mine. I dream with my glitter and pearls that I walk down the red carpet to some fancy shindig while blowing kisses to the crowd. lol ok not really just getting carried away in the moment. But hey if I could fit into such a pretty dress I would feel like a rock star. I am giving the other two to my sewing buddies Jen and Marcella.
Which one is your favorite? And if you have any other ideas to add any final touches please share with me :)

Encapsulated malignant follicular cell-derived thyroid tumors are subject to considerable controversies. This group includes encapsulated follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (FVPTC) and encapsulated (so-called minimally invasive) follicular carcinoma (EFC). FVPTC usually presents as an encapsulated tumor and less commonly as a partially/nonencapsulated infiltrative neoplasm. The encapsulated form rarely metastasizes to lymph node, whereas infiltrative tumors often harbor nodal metastases. Encapsulated FVPTC have a molecular profile very close to follicular adenomas/carcinomas (high rate of RAS and absence of BRAF mutations). Infiltrative follicular variant has an opposite molecular profile closer to classical papillary thyroid carcinoma than to follicular adenoma/carcinoma (BRAF > RAS mutations). Noninvasive encapsulated FVPTC are extremely indolent even if treated with lobectomy without radioactive iodine therapy. Although most EFC are thought to have an excellent outcome, there are cases of EFC that recur and metastasize. EFC with angioinvasion, especially if extensive, have a significant rate of distant recurrence. Encapsulated FVPTC have a molecular profile and a clinical behavior very similar to the follicular adenoma/carcinoma class of tumor. If noninvasive, encapsulated FVPTC should be treated in a very conservative fashion. EFC with angioinvasion, especially if extensive, should not be termed minimally invasive in order to prevent undertreatment of the patient.
