Archive for category Tracing
Reading extended event files using client side tools only
For any serious tracing working you'll be using extended events and sending the output to XEL target files. Various options exist when it comes to reading these files. You can open the files using the file open function in Management Studio. Or you can use the sys.fn_xe_file_target_read_file function to have your SQL Server database engine read the files.
If you want to read the XEL files programmatically and don't want to be constrained by having a database connection you can use a .Net program and use the extended event reader functionality in Microsoft.SqlServer.XEvent.Linq.dll. For example, this post describes an approach using C#:
If you prefer to use Powershell here's one solution:
# If doing this on a client that just has the client tools and no database engine then you have to use 32 bit Powershell as Microsoft # have not provided a 64 bit assembly for the client tools distribution. # If you are running this on a server that has the database engine then you don't need to use 32 bit Powershell as the 64 bit assembly # is present in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared directory # For SQL 2014 you have to add the reference to Microsoft.SqlServer.XE.Core.dll. You don't need this for SQL 2012 Add-Type -Path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Extensions\Application\Microsoft.SqlServer.XE.Core.dll' Add-Type -Path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Extensions\Application\Microsoft.SqlServer.XEvent.Linq.dll' $events = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.XEvent.Linq.QueryableXEventData("c:\temp\test.xel") $events | Foreach-Object { $_.Actions | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'client_hostname' } } | Group-Object Value
This can be used if, for example, you're tracing the sql_batch_completed event and have added the client_hostname action. The script outputs the counts for each host name in the XEL file.
As can be seen in the comments it's unfortunate that for the client side only solution we have no choice but to use the 32 bit assemblies. This is still the case for the SQL 2014 client side of things.
Time spent in app, time spent in SQL Server
Application teams will sometimes believe they have a database issue when a recurring feed starts to perform poorly. Typically they will call on the DBA to perform a trace to identify the poorest performing SQL calls. When the trace is run and the analysis completed you may find that there are no obvious SQL issues. All the statements perform well. The performance problem may not necessarily reside on the database tier. It may reside on the application tier. It may be that the application tier is doing a large amount of number crunching or string processing between the recurring SQL calls. It may be the case that these routines have suddenly become the slow step in the feed.
Having performed the SQL trace it would be great if, in addition to the duration of the SQL calls, we could determine the elapsed time between SQL calls. One method for obtaining this figure is by subtracting the start time of an SQL call from the end time of the previous SQL call. If you export the trace data to a table and filter on, for example, the application name, SPID, hostname or proc name that is doing the load and order by start time you can use the LAG function to obtain the elapsed time between SQL calls.
In the following trace code the procedure that is performing the load is named myproc. The last two columns in the final result set show the total time spent doing SQL work and the total time spent in the application between the SQL calls.
WITH ctetracetimes AS ( SELECT starttime, endtime, LAG(endtime) OVER (ORDER BY starttime) AS previousendtime FROM dbo.tracetbl WHERE objectname = 'myproc' ), cteappandsqltimes AS ( SELECT starttime, endtime, previousendtime, DATEDIFF(millisecond,starttime,endtime) AS timespentsql, DATEDIFF(millisecond,previousendtime,starttime) AS timespentapp FROM ctetracetimes ) SELECT *, SUM(timespentsql) OVER() AS sumtimespentsql, SUM(timespentapp) OVER() AS sumtimespentapp FROM cteappandsqltimes ORDER BY starttime
The results for repeated execution of the myproc stored procedure were as follows:
You can see that 50,000 milliseconds was spent doing the SQL related work (processing the stored procedure ten times) but over 150,000 milliseconds was spent in the application tier in between the SQL calls.
This type of analysis may be quite enlightening even for what you consider to be your well performing feeds. You may be making the assumption that the vast majority of your feed time is associated with database processing when, in fact, it is associated with application processing time. For example, one of my own feeds had a total elapsed time of twenty minutes. When the above analysis was performed the SQL time was only two minutes. Eighteen minutes was being spent in the application tier. A poorly performing number crunching routine was identified. It was then optimised to reduce the overall run-time of the feed.

I went today for a first visit to the peasant fortress of Rosenau. It was the city of roses when it was full of life and I met there one interesting person worth mentioning as an example: a 14 year old boy volunteering to be a guide for the tourists coming there. He wasn't ready for a public, but he tried to tell us interesting stories. It was impressive for me to see such a young boy trying a future career. And it was an example which I didn't expect to see in our hectic society. Instead of spending his summer playing football or watching tv like most kids of his age, he wanted to try the work of a museum guide. And although he was struggling to find his words from the vast information given, he caught our attention with an interesting legend regarding the fortress. It so happened that there was a house of divorces. Here couples that decided to divorce were forced to live together for two weeks in this house. During these two weeks they would have to share the same bed, the same plate, the same fork and the same food. Food was brought by their fellows citizens. Moreover when they were served dinner, the person bringing them the dinner would also throw a bucket of cold water on the floor so the community would be sure that none of them slept on the floor. And it turned out during the Medieval rules and while the fortress was alive only one couple divorced.
So, as an optimistic conclusion of my day, ancestors were wiser than us and there is still hope for the young generation to build a career and tell us stories from the past as a lesson for life.

Paralyzed by fear
I can almost hear
The knot forming in my throat
Doubtful eyes
Starting to despise
Everything I just wrote
The life of a writer
Insecurity fighter
Why can't I measure up
I have no words
Typing is absurd
Maybe we should just break up
To think in rhythm
To feel in rhyme
Can't be a mistake
Most of the time
But to tell myself
I have something to say
Doesn't feel true
On any given day
How can my keystrokes
Possibly benefit the world
Meet the great need
In a ball I remain curled
To face the unknown
The critic, the hater
It takes great courage
To step out as creator
So I will quiet the doubting
Tell anxiety to sleep
I'm putting pen to the paper
Because inspiration won't keep
While I admit that I don't know much about the rules and correct structure of poetry, my deepest thoughts and feelings seem to have a cadence. The only way I've found to emote the rawest parts of me is through poetry, if you can call it that. For anyone who has struggled with purpose and worth and ability, I'm right there with you today. Trust in the mysterious process of putting pen to paper and just keep writing, whether you feel like it or not.

Jodi Meadows
Navigating Creative Practice
I will present a summary of my past and present research interests by specifically speaking to some of the projects I have curated and co-ordinated in Auckland since completing my Masters in Design at Victoria University, Wellington. I ended my Masters in 2015 with writing a ten point Manifesto, responding to my presented research. This research examined theories in both Design and Pacific studies academic spheres and discussed points of importance from each discipline to a term that I called 'Oceanic Creative Practice'. This Masters research begun from feeling unsatisfied with how seemingly unconnected Design and Pacific Studies were in the New Zealand academic and creative environment. I will revisit this Manifesto in my presentation and speak to some of the projects that I have been involved in since writing my manifesto and explain how more recent experiences in industry has evolved and changed some of my initial manifesto points.
Jodi Meadows is an emerging curator of Pacific (Cook Island, Fijian) and New Zealand European descent. She graduated from Victoria University School of Design in 2013 with a Bachelor of Design Innovation majoring in Culture + Context minoring in Industrial Design and Pacific Studies. She then went on to complete her Masters at the same school. Her Masters thesis examined how theory in Pacific Studies could be used to inform how to approach Oceanic creative practice in New Zealand. Since graduating Meadows has completed a Creative New Zealand Pasifika Internship in 2015 at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery and a Marilyn Mayo internship at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki in 2016. Meadows was the assistant curator for TAUTAI|NAVIGATE shown at Studio One in 2016, curated Kindred shown at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery in 2015 and most recently curated Sauniga shown at Artspace in 2017.

Well that escalated quickly.

Sacramento called one of most 'green' cities in U.S., according to survey
See where Sacramento falls on the 7 'greenest' cities in the world
October has been known as National Energy Awareness Month ever since President George H.W. Bush declared it so in 1991.
To celebrate, a national survey looked at the 100 largest cities in the United States to determine which ones had the "greenest" lifestyle. Seven of the top 10 cities are in California, and Sacramento is among them.
With a score of 66.29, WalletHub ranked the capital city seventh overall on its list. Sacramento is fifth in California, trailing San Francisco, the survey's top overall city at 74.24, San Diego, Fremont and San Jose. Also in the top 10 are Irvine and Oakland.
Honolulu, Washington, D.C., and Portland, Ore., are the cities outside of California included in the overall top 10.
The survey compares four key dimensions: environment, transportation, energy sources, and lifestyle and policy. To determine those dimensions, analysts evaluated 22 indicators of environmental friendliness and sustainability. Some categories include greenhouse-gas emissions per capita, miles of bicycle lanes and average commute time by automobile.
Sacramento ranked high in numerous categories, including No. 1 overall in water quality, presence of bike-sharing programs and community garden plots per 100,000 residents. The city's worst ranking was on the median air-quality index, placing 81st.
WalletHub is a national site that specializes in credit reports. Its analysts used data from several sources – including the U.S. Census Bureau, Environmental Protection Agency, Walk Score and U.S. Energy Information Administration – to compile the rankings.

Get to Know Our Trainer, Carly
Carly Shivers has been training dogs for over 10 years …
Carly Shivers has been training dogs for over 10 years, and loves to tell anyone who will listen that she wouldn't be very good at it if it weren't for a six year mentorship with nationally-renowned dog trainer, Aimee Sadler.
But we're getting ahead of our story…
Like so many things in life, Carly's path to dog training started quite serendipitously and, for her story, in Oakland, CA, in 2002, when she witnessed a 7 week old puppy tossed from a car. Dirty, bleeding, and scared, that 7 week old puppy – whom Carly scooped up immediately and named Pig (because she had a cute, little, curly-q deformed tail) and who lived a wonderful and long life until leaving us in 2016 at the age of 14 and a half years – would be the start of it all for Carly. At 14 weeks old, Pig, who had been such a lovely puppy for seven weeks, transformed into a complete terror, reducing the household to tears.
Carly and Pig were lucky enough to start working with a good trainer who quickly helped correct this problem and laid a foundation for Pig to be a better companion with her humans. Carly will never forget what it felt like to have a dog she loved but wasn't sure she could live with and the difference a trainer with experience and knowledge can make in helping folks reach a balance in living well together with their dogs – and that is what fuels her passion in working with dogs and their people. In the years that followed Carly learned she loved challenging dogs, the more challenging the better, and has become an expert working with the worst of the worst. She absolutely loves helping dogs learn to think on their own, make better choices, and live the best lives with their humans.
Carly & Catie
Over the years, Carly added dog, Owen, and moved to Colorado, where she added another dog, Catie. Then Wyna, Boon, Tex, Dolly, & Doug. It was in the middle of this family growth that she met Aimee Sadler, then Director of Training & Behavior Modification at Longmont Humane Society. Carly still vividly remembers the first time she saw Aimee, out in a play yard with about 20 shelter dogs, deftly breaking up squabbles and then staying out of it, allowing the dogs to learn from each other. Talk about an AHA! moment! Carly knew without doubt she was in the presence of greatness where dog training was concerned, and asked Aimee to teach her everything. Lucky for Carly, Aimee is not only a phenomenal trainer but so willing to teach and just asked for help in helping the shelter dogs. So began a six year mentorship, and, happily, a lifelong friendship. If it weren't for Aimee, Carly would never know the things she does about dog behavior that help her help so many people, so fast, and where other trainers can't.
Carly, Wyna, Haley & Boon
Today, Carly lives in Longmont with her family of four dogs – Catie, Dolly, Wyna, & Doug – and one three-legged cat, Wally Tripod. And of course, always, with the wonderful memories – and so many lessons learned – of Pig, Owen, Boon, & Tex.

Sosua Beach
(Playa Sosua)
You can park your car right at the beach (see Map).
Some local who's the "car guardian", will guide you into your parking spot.
Give him a dollar or two and you are fine for the whole day.
This is a very busy and touristic beach. Sunbed after sunbed.
But there will be a lot of locals as well.
Nevertheless a very beautiful beach where you can snorkel directly from the beach (See Map). Equipment can be rented at the beach. Although this will not be your most hygienic experience, due to the fact that the equipment is very old and probably just cleaned with salt water.
Waves will be very small as the beach is protected by the reef.
There are a lot of restaurants and shops right at the beach.
You can be taken care of, of one the employees from one of the restaurants. Don't worry, you will find them quick, as they wave and shout in the direction of everybody who looks a bit like a tourist. You will get served on your sunbed with drinks and food.
So it's easy to spend your whole day there.
Our total for two people for a whole day was 80$, so be aware of how much you consume. It's not cheap.
An alternative is to bring your own drinks and food and stay here for free or just rent the sunbed for the day (20$ or so). If you just want to lay on your beach towel, you have to find a spot between all the sunbeds, which can leave you with a bad spot on the beach.
All in all a great beach to just lay all day and get served.
But it will cost you.
Playa Alicia/Playa Sin Salida
Another very beautiful beach, but way smaller than Playa Sosua.
It will be less crowded and more easy going than the busy Playa Sosua.
The waves will be bigger in this area.
To find a parking spot near the beach will be difficult, because there is not much space around the beach.
You have to leave the car further in the town and walk to the beach.

DIGI DC-788 digital counting scales have earned a reputation for delivering quality and innovation to industrial businesses through the United States. This unique line of counting equipment is designed to provide solutions for a wide range of applications, from basic portable scales for straight weighing to high-powered counting systems. The DIGI DC-788 exceeds all expectations of a counting scale at a price point that cant be beat! With a capacity of up to 100 pounds, and an optional rechargeable battery that provides up to 24 hours of continuous usage, this durable counting scale offers tremendous power and virtually unlimited flexibility. Its bright red LCD display can be seen from any angle and is highly visible in low light areas. As a general rule when determining sample size of fairly uniform pieces, the larger the sample size the greater the total sample weight, therefore, the better the counting accuracy. Selecting the smallest capacity scale that can obtain the highest counting resolution should be considered, but should not sacrifice the capacity required for the heaviest container of parts. There is a direct relationship between piece-to-piece weight variation (non-uniformity) and counting accuracy.
The DC-788 is an affordable counting scale that offers practical solutions for a full range of counting applications. Its counting resolution of 1/1,000,000 gives you maximum counting precision and accuracy. Its high-visibility red LCD display enables operators to easily see weights and quantities. With the ability to store an item code, part number, part name, lot number, tare weight, unit weight, inventory quantity and setpoint value for 100 of your pieces, parts, or items, the DC-788 is a self-contained inventory system. The RS-232 output allows you to connect to a printer or PC, while the remote scale channel lets you add another weighing platform. When portability is required, choose the battery operation option of the DC788 for over 24 hours of continuous use in mobile workstations, outdoor applications, and rental fleets. Its splash-proof housing make the DC-788 rugged enough to operate reliably in many environments and withstand transport from one area of the plant to another or from one business to the next. If accuracy and ease-of-use are important, the DC-788 is a must-have. With its RS-232 interface, you can easily attach a scanner or printer for all your labeling applications. And only the DC-788 enables you to customize your output by allowing specific spec codes to be disabled. With the DC-788s increased capacity and power, you can now do much more economically!

Suggested Method of Writing Mechanical Engineering Essays
Posted by Robin N on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 Under: References
Mechanical engineering as a course is not only about solving mathematical equations and applying laws in physics. Mechanical engineering is also a quest to obtain the right skills and knowledge needed by one who is aiming to become a mechanical engineering. These skills and knowledge could be further be honed by having students write mechanical engineering essays.
Some people say that mechanical engineering students are usually slow in writing and composition tasks since they are normally immersed in maths and physics. This may be true for a few students but not all. Nonetheless, it would be beneficial for these students to know how to write a mechanical engineering essay, step by step. Below are suggested steps that a student could undertake when writing mechanical engineering essays.
• Select a topic. Choosing a topic is the first major step in writing a mechanical essay. Without an essay topic, a student would not have a theme to write about. Without an essay topic, the student could not commence writing his mechanical engineering composition. A topic is where everything starts, as it dictates most of the things that should be done or obtained when writing a mechanical essay.
• Gather essay contents. Academic compositions, whether mechanical engineering or mathematics essays, are usually have ideas and information as its main raw ingredients. These ideas and information should be well cooked in order to dish out a very interesting mechanical engineering essay. Brainstorming for relevant ideas and researching for related information are the best ways to gather content for a mechanical engineering essay.
• Organise the essay. To transform gathered ideas and information into suitable and consistent contents, a student should organise the essay. He can do this by drafting first an essay outline. An outline allows the student to bring coherence into the essay. It allows him to arrange the essay into several important parts like introduction, discussions and conclusion.
• Write the essay. When composing a mechanical engineering essay, the student should always be guided by the outline he has drafted. This will enable him to endow the composition with coherence that is already attained in the drafted outline.
• Edit and proofread. Composing mechanical engineering essays does not end when the student finishes writing the conclusion. The writing activity only ends when the student has already got rid of all the mistakes in the composition – which can be done through editing and proofreading.

More than 4,000 hunters completed the survey following the initial survey request which consisted of 6,219 who provided email addresses and 12,100, without email contacts. Game and Fish survey coordinator Gail Sheridan said that about half of those who received emails have responded and those survey responses essentially did not cost the Game and Fish anything. Follow-up hard copy surveys have been sent to more than 14,000 hunters and the response rate so far has been about 20 percent.
Sheridan said that more survey responses are needed to get a statistically valid sampling of small game harvest and hunting efforts. Game and Fish stresses it is very important that hunters complete the survey regardless of the number of days they went hunting or the numbers of small game animals, game birds and waterfowl that were bagged.
"Surveys are the best tool we have to determine hunter participation and harvest," said Sheridan. "They provide important information to help us determine ups and downs of populations and the interest the state's hunters have in small game hunting."
Hunters are encouraged to fill out the online survey as it improves accuracy, saves printing and mailing costs and reduces processing time. Sheridan said the online method is more efficient.
"Each survey letter has instructions for applying online and a hunter key that must be entered to complete the survey," Sheridan said. "By applying online, it saves the Game and Fish money in postage and processing and speeds up the procedure to compile survey results. But, regardless of the method used, it is important that the survey is completed."
As with many big game surveys, not everyone who hunts small game or game birds receives a survey. Participants are randomly chosen. Once names are selected, response must be adequate to insure a statistically valid sampling is obtained.

After tickets for the Get Weird Tour went on sale last week, dates in Cardiff and Bournemouth have already sold out with other venues looking set to follow suit.
Speaking of their previous sell out show at The O2, Leigh-Anne explains "to have our fans singing songs, that we'd helped write, back to us, was a dreams-come-true moment."
Tickets for the matinee show at London's O2 Arena go on sale at 9am on Thursday 30 July and can be purchased here.
Tickets for all other dates of the Get Weird Tour are on sale now.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge fan of The Simpsons. I know that alot of adult find them to be a bad influence of children, but let's face it: just because it's a cartoon does not mean that it's a show for children. In fact, the only reason that it's a cartoon is that it allows the writers to mock the absurdities of real life without playing by its rules (well, that, and voice actors can be paid far less than regular actors, and most animation is outsourced overseas). Why do I like it so much? Because I'm a fan of pop culture. I just love the absurdity of it all, and I like trivia. Nothing makes me feel prouder than knowing who wrote that 80's song that girl I like really loves (usually John Mellencamp's Jack and Diane). Now it doesn't impress her, but it's still a nice feeling. Now why does this matter? Because the Simpsons writers also love pop culture, television in particular, and love it so much that they feel obligated to needle it, as one an old friend.
One of the conventions they've mocked in the past is the cliffhanger. A little background is due here. The cliffhanger is generally a two-part episode, with the first episode creating an extreme sense of tension by ending with an unresolved but highly dramatic storyline. Perhaps the greatest example of this is "Who Shot JR?" from Dallas. The show was nearly dead before that storyline, but with that one phrase become a national phenomenom and stayed on the air for 11 more years. Countless shows count on, usually rolling out two parters during May sweeps, a period when advertising rates are set. Therefore, networks roll out big events in order to inflate their ratings and thus set higher ad rates. As writing has evolved, cliffhangers have become a relatively normal occurance. In fact, one could argue that every episode of 24 ends with a cliffhanger; essentially, that's the point of the series. Also, as the concept of a series "mythology" has evolved and continuity has become more important to writers, more series have embraced the cliffhanger, if only in a more mild form. Examples include Lost, The West Wing (now cancelled), and The X-Files. Even Seinfeld, a sitcom, had a relatively healthy number of cliffhanger episodes, and callbacks to previous events and characters were pretty common. In fact, one season had one storyline of Jerry's series being picked-up.
Now what is the point of this, either than giving me the self-satisfaction of giving an impromptu lecture on a topic I love but could never possibly make a living pursuing and taking up space? Well you see, there's a little bit of poetic justice here. And as I told you all last time, today was intended to be my last chemo treatment. Everything seemed to be going quite well. Dennis was called into to get my IV in, and he go it on the first go, blood return and all. They did the saline flush with no problem, and my dexamethasone went in with no problems. However, when they started administring the adriamycin, they got to about the 1/3rd point when suddenly the injection spot started burning. Bad. REALLY BAD. They nearly yanked the IV out, because the fact of the matter is that adrimycin can cause serious tissue damage. So they switched to the other arm , but the first stick produced no return. So they finally got a gone one, but when they got to the saline….OUCH! So they went for a consult, and my LNP decided that they couldn't treat me.
That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, I a massive television buff, have my very own cliffhanger. The LNP told me that we're looking at two options: 1) We may go in for a sooner scan, and I may not have to the last treatment, due to my remission rate or 2) we may have to put in a port for two more rounds. Two very different choices. You can guess what I'm counting on.
So stay tuned for our thrilling conclusion. This is one for the record books.

Madison, St Pauls
The Vibe
Perched atop One New Change is Madison, one of Europe's largest roof terraces that boasts one mighty view of St Pauls. Naturally, floor-to-ceiling glass windows are used to capitalise on the surroundings – a design that adds plenty of romance to the night when the sun begins to set behind the city's famous skyline. It's a Tuesday night but the place is buzzing with an after-work crowd. Groups of City boys and girls blow off steam at the end of a long day making for a rowdy atmosphere. Rather than fight them, join the party and make this a night to unwind with a new flame.
The Order
Famed more for its views than for its food, the menu at Madison had us pleasantly surprised. The starters are light and refreshing. The potted crab and crayfish mixed with a cucumber and lemon balm jelly is a delight, and sits well next to a glass of Ca'di Ponti. For mains, the Sirloin is a real crowd-pleaser and should be accompanied by a side of Mac & Cheese – a combo I picked up from a previous date that has been life changing. Finish with an indulgent dessert. The chocolate and praline fondant is a fine choice; a soft velvet sponge with a shattering of praline and pool of melted chocolate.
The Game
Dress smart or feel completely out of place for the entire night. Men should arrive in a tailored suit and women, a go-to cocktail dress. As the crowd is mainly made of professionals there is a danger of this turning into a post-work meetup (which doesn't scream lust). So, direct conversation to light and flirtatious topics making sure thoughts of mounting deadlines are left at the ground floor. If everything goes well, the glass elevator is the best place to enjoy a kiss as the view of St Pauls falls into the background.

How would you feel if you boarded a flight, took your seat - and then noticed the person next to you had brought a turkey onto the plane with them?
That's apparently what happened to one traveller on a flight last week, when these pictures were posted by Twitter user Moesha Mitchel:
You get on the plane and sit next to someone with this as their emotional support animal, what do you do? pic.twitter.com/rYKgaIqdOY— Moesha (@moeshamitchel)
January 6, 2016
It's come to wider attention in the last few days after it was reposted to Reddit by user biggestlittlepicke, who said: "My neighbor is a flight attendant. He just posted this photo of someone's 'therapy pet,' on his flight."
An 'emotional support animal', says the National Service Animal Registry, is 'a pet that has been prescribed by a person's licensed therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. The animal is part of the treatment program for this person and is designed to bring comfort and minimize the negative symptoms of the person's emotional/psychological disability.'
Moesha's turkey pictures are believed to have been taken aboard a Delta airlines flight.
The bird appears to be quite well travelled: it also showed up in an Instagram post shared on Twitter by Alan Mortensen a few days earlier:
An emotional support turkey!! Serious!! @Delta @DeltaNewsHub @sltrib @DeseretNews @saltlakechamber @DeltaVacations pic.twitter.com/md4r3I8YUU— Alan W. Mortensen (@_amort)
December 29, 2015
Delta says on its website it allows customers to travel with emotional support animals as long as they're 'trained to behave properly in public settings ... Emotional support animals travel free of charge and the animal is exempt from cabin allotment. Like service animals, emotional support animals can be transported in the cabin.'
However, a closer look at the airline's stipulations suggests the turkey was lucky not to be booted off. Delta lists the animals it doesn't accept due to safety and/or public health concerns, including hedgehogs, ferrets, reptiles... and non-household birds, including farm poultry.
Assuming the picture is real, it begs the question: who would select a turkey as a provider of emotional support?
One possible candidate could be writer Patricia Marx, who has form in this area. In a 2014 article for The New Yorker, she describes taking a turkey called Henry on a bus journey and on to a swanky restaurant, flashing his 'emotional support' credentials to gain access:
"I dragged him to a table and hoisted him onto a chair, on which he lay immobile, on his side with his feet splayed as if he'd conked out on the sofa, watching TV. A wing drooped over one side of the chair.
"'What kind of emotional support do you get from him?' a man asked ... news of his presence had spread among the diners as if he were Jack Nicholson."
In 2014 an American woman (pictured below) was forced to get off a plane after bringing a 70-pound pot-bellied pig on board for "emotional support".
The woman carried the swine on board and sat down at her seat, cradling the creature.
However, before long, the pig, which was on a leash, was reportedly out of control, pacing around the cabin and becoming "disruptive". It was also stinking out the cabin.

This was one for the ages and I am glad to say that I was in attendance. I knew that this series would be close, but U did not expect 14 innings. That being said, I was pretty sure that this game would never end after the 11th.
The rain finally stopped during the first few innings, but it was like this all day.
The game winning at bat.

The 2015 MLB Postseason Has Not Disappointed
From the pitching to the lack of pitching, the 2015 playoffs have been one of the most enjoyable in years. Baseball always proves that you never know what will happen from one year to the next. Last year the Royals were basically the Astros. The Cubs were losers who were years off. The Mets were also years away from contention. Who will make it to the World Series?
Wednesday, March 4, 2015
Spring training is here!
What a great week, snow on the ground and I can dream about the upcoming baseball season by watch MLBTV. I look forward to blogging about baseball once again this year!

Common Core ban may or may not come to floor
The bill to do away with Kansas' Common Core-derived educational standards was advanced for consideration by the full House with no opportunity for opponents to challenge it in committee. The spokeswoman for House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, told the Topeka Capital-Journal that the Merrick was reviewing the bill before deciding whether to allow it a vote. House Education Committee Chairman Ron Highland, R-Wamego, has said the bill's potential to prohibit Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs in Kansas has been "all blown out of proportion," promising that floor amendments would alleviate concerns. But can the Legislature purge Kansas of Common Core while still allowing the Common Core-aligned AP and IB programs and ACT and SAT tests, which are beyond Kansas' control? – Rhonda Holman

Why our packaging is helping you reduce waste
We've discussed why we have chosen incredibly minimalist packaging for our sandals. Consisting of just organic muslin cloth, a leather tie and a recycled kraft paper swing tag, they are all chosen for their ability to serve different purposes and/or be recycled. For example, we chose the muslin cloth because it's a perfect way to wrap your leather sandals in your luggage when you travel, it can also keep your sandals looking in tip-top shape by using it to buff the leather or clean it. The vegetable tanned leather tie (remnants we haven't been able to use) can be used as a bracelet, a hair tie or anything else you may want it for. We chose kraft paper for the swing tag as it can easily be recycled. Additionally, we send our sandals in tough paper envelopes that can also be recycled.
As a fashion brand, it is definitely a tough choice to make. Do we package something with all the bells and whistles that people are used to or do we go our own way? As fashion is already one of the most polluting industries in the world, do we want to contribute more to the problem for a few minutes of pleasure?
Racked recently published an interesting article on this very topic and a few things jumped out at us:
