In one of my last tutorials, I showed you how to make a super cute sleeper. Now, here are the matching slipper shoes!
What you will need:
- Fabric of choice
- 1/4 or 1/8 inch elastic
- Thread color of choice
- Optional: buttons or bows
I used a free pattern from marked crafts- > shoepattern
So lets get started! here is the video tutorial and below that is the written and picture format.
- Cut your pattern out and decide on your color/colors you want to use (you can use two colors!
- Cut out your pieces- there should be 4 of each piece
- Take your upper pieces (the two sided rounded pieces) and place them pattern facing pattern as usual.
- Then sew the non-rounded part only (the bottom of it)
- Turn right side out, then iron you piece down with the right sides out and sew a nice little line across the outside where it is sewn together.
7. Take your heel pieces (the long rectangles), and place the pieces facing eachother (as usual) and sew just down one long side
8. Cut your elastic to 4 inches long (2 pieces). Pin it to one end of the sewn heel piece.
9. While sewing stretch the elastic and sew using your zigzag stitch across the length of the fabric
10. It will be curled up as shown above. Turn right side out. Pin and sew below the elastic and all the way around the whole piece to make it look nice and then trim as needed.
11. Place sole pieces together with patterns facing eachother, use a basting stitch (set your stitch to longest number and do not backstitch).
12. Pin together the heel and the front piece, adjust it to be the appropriate size for the baby/infant you are making it for.
13. Sew straight across where you already have the previous sewn line from the front piece. Then trim the rest off. This makes a nice neat line when you are finished.
14. Find the middle of the sole and the middle of the top part. You can do this easily by folding in half. Line them up together and pin. (the back of the sole is the smaller part). Have the top part the wrong side still out to pin.
15. Now sew all the way around! Almost done! Doesn't it look so cute?
16. Trim the excess fabric being careful not to cut too close to your thread line.
17. Now turn right side out! And WA-LA you are done! You can add a button, ribbon, or any other accessory you want! Great JOB! Lets see those pictures

So, I know that a number of months ago, I made a post about how I got engaged, and then I proceeded to disappear. My life has been pretty insane since then (work, health problems, wedding planning, etc.), but I wanted to give everyone an update on my life.
So, here's the first part of the story: Read More

Chapter 3: The Pursuit of a Hidden Mystery
We shall bring to our minds what we considered yesterday. The knowledge of things indicates the presence of something which is beyond the knowledge of things. This is the result of our analysis. We cannot know anything unless we know at the same time something other than this thing which is the object of our knowledge.
Something seems to be pursuing us wherever we go. Though our objective in the pursuits of this world seems to be the visible phenomena of life, there appears to be another factor running behind us and going ahead of us, whatever be the visible aim of our life. There is an invisible mystery which does not leave us wherever we go. We may soar to the heavens or sink to the nether regions; it makes no difference to this mystery. It is wherever we go, under every circumstance of life, at every time everywhere, because minus this mystery, life seems to be meaningless and it cannot be explained. The explanation of every experience in life is the presence of this mystery. So life may be regarded as a mystery in itself. Life is not a science or a logic, it is not an arithmetic or an algebra or a geometry, it is not a calculation or a computation; it is a miracle. It is this miracle that keeps us hoping and living. Our desires are a miracle, our ambitions are a miracle, our activities are a miracle. We ourselves are a miracle in this world of miracles.
Actually, religion is nothing but the pursuit of this miracle, the running after the Holy Grail and a knight's errand of the spirit. We are participants in the religious pursuit, which is nothing but the pursuit of this Holy Grail of this wondrous mystery that grins at us, stares at us, and mocks us at every event we pass through here. There is apparently something that laughs at everything we do, and thinks before we start thinking, and does something before we start doing anything at all. This mystery is the explanation of every phenomenon in life, and this is the conditioner of the whole of human history. The process of the history of mankind is the process of the working of this miracle behind human history, but it eludes our grasp, escapes our understanding and defies our every effort to know it. While we can know anything and everything, we cannot know that thing. It is because of the fact that we cannot know that thing which is the only thing that is to be known, finally, that we are the fools that we are here. But this realm of experience looks like a paradise to us on account of the presence of this mystery. At the same time, we are made fools, so literally we are in a fool's paradise. While we look like fools because we cannot know this mystery, we are also in a paradise because of the presence of this mystery. Wonder is life, and wonder is religion.
That is why great masters in any field of pursuit – literature, poetry, drama, fine arts, religion and spirituality, mysticism, yoga, whatever it is – have been the miracle mongers in the world of this mystery which stands supreme above all that we can consider as worthwhile and valuable in life. All the meaning that we can recognise and read in anything in this world is the meaning that descends as a jot or a ray from that supreme mystery of mysteries, the mysterium tremendum as the mystics are fond of calling it. Inasmuch as it is the explanation for the whole of phenomena and it is that which accounts for the secrets of every kind of experience through which anyone may pass, it has to be accepted as a universal presence. Inasmuch as it explains everything everywhere, naturally it has to be a presence that is everywhere. That which is everywhere is that which is considered as universality, the universal principle. Because it is the explanation of every particular and is the indivisible presence at the back of every related phenomenon, it can be considered the soul of all things. This is what is called the Atman in the Upanishads and the Self in mystical circles. It is the soul because it is the explanation of everything. It is the Self because it is behind everything that is known or recognised. It offers explanation for everything, but it itself cannot be explained by anybody else because that 'anybody' who could explain it does not exist. That which itself is inexplicable but explains everything else is the Self of all things. Because it knows the mystery behind all things, it is a consciousness mystery, it is a knowledge process, it is intelligence pristine par excellence.
The pursuit of this mysterious Self is the religion of mankind. This is what is called spirituality. You can have some idea as to what religion can be, what spirituality is, what anything worthwhile can be ultimately if this is the nature of this world, and if this is the circumstance in which we are placed in this mysterious world. The pursuit of religion is the pursuit of the Atman or the Self of all things, this mystery behind phenomena; therefore, it can also be said to be at the same time a pursuit of the mystery of our own selves. The knowledge of things is also the knowledge of our own selves, and our knowledge of our own selves is the knowledge of all things. To know anything is to know all things.
Here we are at the foot of this great ascent of the religious adventure, the spiritual activity which obviously cannot be any kind of outward movement on account of our aim being quite different from anything that can be comprehended within the field of human activity. All activities are presupposed by the presence of this mystery; therefore, the pursuit of this mystery, if it is called religion and spirituality, should be other than what we call normal activity in life. It is an activity no doubt, but an activity of the spirit. It is our inward self that conducts a process of work in its own manner, quite different qualitatively from the works that we undertake in this world of business and social activity.
Religion can be and ought to be made compatible with work, but it is not the work that we are thinking of in our mind. It is work, it is activity, it is enterprise, it is adventure; it is everything, but it is nothing that we can comprehend in our mind at present. It is a work that we perform from our soul's essence, and not as a movement of any kind of psychic function. This is why people have been telling us ever and anon that karma is different from karma yoga. A spiritualised activity, which is karma yoga, is quite different in its nature from the activities known to the world of mankind. We cannot actually have access into the mystery of what we call karma yoga because it is an activity of the soul and not of our hands and feet, not even our empirical understanding and mind, to which I made reference yesterday. It is not a world process. It is a noumenal adventure; it is the thing as it is in itself that rises to the surface of phenomena when life becomes religion and spirituality.
Inasmuch as this mystery I referred to is perforce present everywhere because it explains all things at the same time, it is a universal compresence and not a particular existence somewhere. We cannot say it is in some corner of the world. Therefore, when we pursue it, we are pursuing all things at the same time. We become a person belonging to everybody at the same time and are not a person of one family, one community, one nation – not even of this Earth. When we enter into the field of religious activity we cease to be a man of a particular country. Perhaps we cease to be a man. Rather, we remain as an inward urge which presses itself forward towards the recognition of the presence of this mystery which explains the presence of all things, all phenomena.
Now, inasmuch as this mysterious explanation of the diversified phenomena has to be present everywhere as the Self of all things, it has to be an indivisible something which is incapable of division by space, by time, by even thought and conception. It is a whole of a mysterious nature. Therefore, God is a whole, the Self is a whole, the Atman is a whole, and this is the reason why we consider our little personality as a wholeness in itself. This wondrous, mysterious, universal wholeness explains the wholeness of any particular object in this world. Every little thing is a completeness by itself: A tree is a whole, an atom is a whole, an electron is a whole, a man is a whole, an animal is a whole, and even an insect is a whole. The solar system is a whole. Anything we can think of has a wholeness characterising its existence. Even what we call as an isolated thing is a wholeness by itself. You are an individual seated here as one among the many, yet you are a wholeness in your own capacity. You are an indivisible individuality. Though you are one among the many persons seated here, in your own status you attain to an indivisibility which is your personality, the so-called 'I am' you are affirming every moment of time.
In a sense, we may say the whole world is filled with this Self because everyone asserts "I am". Even an insect, even a crawling earthworm asserts its independence and wishes to exist as that particular form. The love of life, the struggle for existence, the affirmation of the will to live is present even in the least of things. This affirmation can be explained only by the presence of that supreme affirmation of the mystery which unites the particulars of all phenomena and cries "I am!" in a loud tone. This universal 'I' reflects itself, descends further down into the relative particularities of what we ourselves appear to be as anything that can appear in its own form. The world is, therefore, a world of Selfhood. The pursuit of this indivisibility in any of its manifestations is the pursuit of religion, spirituality, mysticism, yoga.
Hence, a religious aspiration, a love for yoga, is a journey that we are undertaking towards a wholeness which is a little above the wholeness of our own personalities. We are also a whole in our own selves, but we are not satisfied with that wholeness because there are other wholes which contend with our own individual wholeness. The presence of another thing is a limitation of our being, and as we are inwardly a limitless presence of this all-comprehending mystery, we are not satisfied with our own selves. Nothing can satisfy us anywhere because we are seeking this wholeness which is to explain and to rectify the limitations of our little wholeness in which we are embedded at present.
We are struggling to overcome the limitations caused by the presence of other persons and things by all the means that are available in life by attempting to abolish other things. This is the reason why we love things and hate things. Our loves and hatreds of any kind in this world can be explained, and have to be explained, only because of our supreme love for the overcoming of our limitations by transcending them by an attainment of a higher wholeness where we have the vision of a larger dimension of this indivisibility. Even our little quarrels in our families can be explained only by our love for the urge of the self for a larger selfhood of its own self. Even our small skirmishes, battles and wars are ultimately spiritual. Even the worst of things has a spiritual element behind it, and nothing else can be anywhere even in the lowest hells. Even in the worst of the forms inferno can take, an explanation of spirituality is there, and a spirit performs this drama of the ups and downs of life. Crowning a person king today and hurling the very same person down tomorrow is the worst possible experience. This is the work of this mystery – to enthrone us in a kingdom and throw us down into the dust tomorrow. This is what God is doing, this is what the Self is doing, this is the explanation of the history of man which moves as a powerful river to its destination of an oceanic expanse. And thus we are pulled, whether we consciously will it or not, in the direction of religious pursuits for the practice of spirituality. There is a large significance behind the little jots that we have in the field of religion as a Sadhana Week, as a study, as a svadhaya, as a church-going or a temple worship, etc. There are more things in heaven and on Earth than we can imagine in our minds.
Our own little longings are more than what they appear outwardly. They enshrine within their little vehicles a mystery and a treasure which is far superior to the shape of the vehicle in which we are enshrined. Hence, even the first step in religion and spirituality is a step towards wholeness of experience. This is why it is often told us that particularised loves and hatreds are contrary to the requirements of religious endeavour. I told you just now that our loves and hatreds are explained only by the spiritual urge within us. But we are unable to interpret the experiences of life in terms of the meaning that is hidden behind them as a spiritual motive. We are carried away by the upsurge of the outward waves of experience but we are unable to discover the inward movement of the ocean that is behind this tumultuous activity of the waves. Our eyes tempt us and deceive us. Our understanding also goes together with the activities of the senses; therefore, we do not know what we ourselves are aiming at, what we ourselves are doing in our daily life.
The religion of yoga or the practice of spirituality is a movement of the finite in the direction of a larger finitude, so this itself may be a finite in the light of a higher experience. Spirituality is an evolutionary process, as anything else can be. The scientific evolution which biologists speak of is also a spiritual evolution. All evolution is spiritual, and the work of the various phenomena in the astral world, in the astronomical universe, in this physical realm, all outwardly appearing to be material in their nature, are also spiritually motivated. Matter finally does not exist; therefore, in a way we may say that the world also does not exist.
But the so-called world before us, the matter which contends with the spirit, is a false isolation of a part of the spirit itself as an object which it beholds like a counterpart of its own self, a segmentation of the spirit. Just as we can behold our own self in a mirror, spirit beholds itself, as it were, in the world, in the universe, in phenomena, in the form of matter. When we behold ourselves, see ourselves or look at ourselves in a mirror, we have not become another. We see ourselves in a mirror, no doubt, but we have not become that thing which is seen in the mirror. We are still the very same thing that we were earlier before we looked at ourselves through the mirror. Spirit remains spirit even in matter. Even when the spirit appears as matter or the world appears only as matter and nothing else but matter, spirit remains as spirit. It cannot become anything else.
The so-called material phenomenon, the world of perception, the universe of experience, is an interpretation of the universal spirit through space-time causal relationship. So the world is a kind of interpretation rather than an existence. It is a reading of meaning rather than a presence by itself. It does not exist. But it appears to be there as an inexplicable x in an algebraic explanation or equation. The x in algebra is a non-entity in itself, but this non-entity is an explanation of everything that is implied in this equation. So is this world. It is a tentative tool for the explanation of that which beyond itself reigns supreme while it itself does not exist. A non-existent something leads us to something which is really existent; as they say by an analogy, a roar of a non-existent tiger in dream can wake up the individual into a real experience. The dream tiger does not exist, and its roar is also not there, but it can terrify the dreamer to such an extent that we will wake up into a real world of perception. It is difficult to believe how a thing that is not there can produce an experience which is there. Similarly, the Guru, the idea of God that we have in our mind and the worships that we offer in the form of religion and spirituality are also the roars of tigers which are not there really, but they can wake us up into a real experience which is what is.
The practice of yoga, the pursuit of religion, the living of spirituality is, therefore, the pursuit of a hidden mystery. Religion is a mystery. It is not a social work. It is not a service that we render to our nation or to people outside as an effort purely on the empirical level. Service becomes spiritual, karma becomes karma yoga when we can see a meaning that is hidden in and through the outward performances of activity, and the intention that is other than the activity itself. The intention counts, not the form of the activity. Hence, karma yoga is not a work that we do but a meaning that is behind the work that we do. If the meaning is absent, work becomes a skeleton, a corpse which appears to be carried on stretchers but itself has no life within it. Action can become a mere corpse when it is divested of the spiritual intention behind it and, therefore, our efforts in life may not always succeed. People often complain they have done so much but nothing comes out. It is because they have done nothing really. They have only been moving like a corpse, and the movement of a corpse cannot be regarded as any worthwhile activity. There is no life in it. All the works that we do in life are usually the work of a corpse. There appears to be a movement, but it is like the movement of a car which has a driver. And so it is a chaotic activity, a movement in any direction whatsoever without purpose – a lifeless movement.
Karma yoga is a spiritualised activity, no doubt, but we must know what it actually means. It is the discovery of that outlook which is compatible with the presence of this universal Self in the activities of our daily life. It is a difficult thing to understand, and more difficult to practise. We wool-gather, we sleep, we slip, and we are once again the old guys that we were in spite of our effort because, as I told you, spirit always eludes the grasp of empirical understanding and, much worse, the perceptions of the senses. Kṣurasya dhārā niśitā duratyayā (Katha 1.3.14) is the cautious maxim we have in the scripture. Subtle, invisible is this path of the spirit; strait is the gate, narrow is the way, so narrow that it looks like the dimension of a hair's breath. It is subtle like the sharp edge of a razor or a sword, invisible to the eyes. We cannot see the spiritual path. We cannot even know it with our mind wedded to space and time. Understanding is incapable of knowing what it is. Hence, one cannot know what the religious significance of life is by analysing it only though a vivisection by way of scientific analysis, etc. One has to be very cautious.
Heedlessness is death. We are mostly heedless because we are carried away by a complacency that we are already on the path, but no one can be so sure that one is on the path. Even if we happen to be on the path, we can be side-tracked. We can be taken in the wrong direction, and we will be made to believe that we are moving in the right direction. Here is the difficulty. But constant practice will save us. The light that will shine on the path as a consequence of the good deeds that we performed in our previous lives – the samskaras of earlier existences – as also the power that is produced by our own effort in this life, and the blessings of the master from whom we have received initiation into yoga. Finally, the grace of God will help us.
Every day one has to wake up in the morning with vigilance in the mind, as if we are walking on the razor's edge or on a very narrow rope bridge, and non-vigilance may mean a dropping down into the abyss of waters. For this purpose we have to create a daily routine and a program for ourselves. We should never be under the impression that we are wholly religious or spiritual. Nothing of the kind is called for. Not even a great saint can be said to be wholly religious all of the time. That is not possible under the circumstance of life here. A daily routine is to be chalked down, and all the necessary things of life have to be taken into consideration. Our family circumstances, our office routines, our physical health, our financial condition – every blessed thing has to be considered when we prepare a program. Every item that is indispensible in life and cannot be avoided under the circumstances has to be put down in our diary. Oftentimes the different items of our daily program cannot be exposed to the public. The daily program is not necessarily what people see outside. The program is what is in our mind especially. The various tensions and anxieties are not capable of being demonstrated outside. Everyone has a worry in the mind, but we cannot tell everyone we have this worry because to tell that itself is another worry, so we keep it inside us somehow or other.
But we have to get over this. We have to see that every tension is removed from our mind before we step wholly on the spiritual path, because a morbid mind is unfit for this purpose. We have to be healthy individuals first. We are rarely wholly healthy. Our minds are distracted by compulsive movements of the social structure in which we are placed. Because we are made in that way, we are unable to live a life which is not social at present. It does not mean that we should be always social individuals from birth to death, but at present at least, it does not appear that we can live an unsocial existence because we have needs which are connected with social solidarity, social relationship and social cooperation. Apart from that fact, we have to breathe air, drink water, and bask in sunlight, which is a natural dependence on the physical world of nature. We have social dependences of other types. We require medicine when we are sick, manufactured by a firm which is not our own. We require a medical man. We require vegetables which are not grown in our own garden. We require pulses, we require rice, we require wheat; we require every blessed thing. This is a kind of dependence. Maybe a day will come when we need not be dependent like this, God willing, and a day like that has to come. We cannot go on cringing before others until we die; but at present, being independent does not appear to be practicable.
Therefore, the difficulties of this type which we might regard as necessary evils, though they are evils themselves, have to be paid their due even if they are devils. The worst of things has to be taken into consideration even if it may appear as totally unreligious and wholly unspiritual. Anything which we cannot avoid should be regarded as religious and spiritual. We should not say it is unspiritual. A thing that we can wholly avoid may be avoided. But when we have concluded that it cannot be avoided, why do we complain that it is unspiritual and unreligious? It has some connection with our religious or spiritual practices. It has some connection with our existence itself. Why do we say it is unreligious? Anything that is contributory to the values which are even in the remotest sense religious and spiritual are also religious and spiritual.
Here one has to be very charitable, and not very dogmatic and fanatic. We have one difficulty in life, which is social dogma and religious fanaticism into which we are many times born. We cannot forget that we are Hindus, Christians, Muslims, etc. Though this feeling is not necessary and perhaps, I may say, it is wholly undesirable, we are born into this. We think as Hindus, we think as Christians, we think as Muslims, we think as something else. And we also think as men and women, etc. We cannot avoid these ideas. These are great problems. These are the diseases of the psyche, and these diseases are there. When they are there, we have to accept that they are there. It is not true that we are Hindus or Christians, it is not true that we belong to a particular nation, and it is not true that we are men or women. But we have been forced into the belief that we are these and, therefore, consequently, we are also forced to behave in a manner as if we are these. This is a malady of human society, and it has to be taken into consideration as a necessary thing in our existence. We have to gradually rip ourselves open and shed these limitations by passing through them and not imagining that they are not there. We cannot close our eyes to the existence of a problem, though it may appear that it is a fallacy of thinking and a misconception in the minds of people. Even a total misconception in the minds of people can be a necessary part of our religious activity if we cannot get out of the clutches of this misconception.
Hence, when you chalk out a daily routine you have to be a highly impersonal psychoanalyst, medical doctor or a judge in a court, whatever you may call yourself, within yourself, though you may not express it outwardly. Your religion cannot be shown to others. It is impossible to demonstrate to people outside what kind of religion you are practising, and the religion that is seen outside is not your real religion. We live one kind of religion inside, and show another kind of religion outside because we have to live a social religion acceptable to people; otherwise, they will hang us or burn us at the stake, as we know very well, and we do not wish to be hanged or burned for our religion. So we have a double religion – a religion inside which is known to us alone in our private life, which nobody knows outside, and another religion which makes us bend down before a holy image and speak religion in conformity with the accepted norms of social relation. Therefore, we have two spiritualties, two religions, two Gods, two aims, two personalities, two everything. But this two should become one in the days to come.
This is a tension which has crept into us; therefore, having been forced to live a double life in our normal existence here, we are always sick. We cannot wholly live socially what we are inside us. This is very unfortunate. We do not know who to blame for this. We are always one thing inside and another thing in society because society is made in such a way, and it is not possible for society to accept what we think in our mind, and it is also not possible for us to accept what society takes as its norm. Hence, we have to be sick always. We do not know who made us these people that we are, and how society grew into this pattern. Anyhow, it is there. We do not know how it came to be, but it is there, and it has to be explained in the way in which it is there. We have to overcome this difficulty by passing through the difficulty, and not imagining that it is not there. Religion is a difficult thing. It is a medical treatment, yes. It has been that, and it can be nothing else.
So I request you all, as members of a fraternity of true religion and spirituality and God love, to have an inward program of your own which you need not tell anybody else except perhaps your own master, teacher, guide, superior, Guru to whom you can expose yourself wholly. If not, keep it to your own self, and pray to God. He will be your Guru and guide you, and throw a light into your hearts. See that every day is a day when one aspect of the tension is shed.
Many of the things which are the causes of our inward difficulties are the desires which we cannot fulfil, and which we cannot help fulfilling at the same time. This is a psychic problem into which people sink and become neurotic. Many religious people are neurotic. They are not wholly healthy minds. That is why they suddenly flare into anger, shout at the top of their voice, and show their irreconcilability with other people at the least word that is uttered. They have some great tension inside, but they cannot tell outside what it is. So they divert it by a displacement of its location in the personality of other people and pounce upon others as tigers, wolves, making it appear that they are in the right and others are in the wrong. This is a psychoanalytic problem. There are various defence mechanisms which the mind adopts to save its skin and put the entire blame on others, proclaiming in a loud tone that one is wholly unscathed and not at all in the wrong. This situation also has to become an analysis of our own self, and here we require a good psychoanalyst – not a medical psychoanalyst of the clinics of the world, but a spiritual man who has passed through these stages and knows what people are, and also what religions' requirements are.
Today's analysis has been more psychological, and I hope to lead you on further to a field of inward investigation and practice which will be more integrating than your present one.

Granger, jury agree on his death
Published 8:38 am, Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Bartholomew Granger and the jury in his capital murder trial agreed Tuesday that he should be executed for a 2012 shooting rampage that killed one and injured three others, but it could take a decade of appeals before the convicted courthouse shooter is executed.
A Galveston County jury spent a little less than two hours deciding Granger, 42, will constitute a danger to society in the future and that no mitigating circumstances justified giving him life in prison for the March 14, 2012 fatal shooting of a Deweyville grandma.
An appeal of the verdict is automatic and will be handled by Beaumont attorney Doug Barlow, said defense lawyer James Makin.
Granger was convicted last week of capital murder in the shooting death of Sebolt, who was gunned down in the doorway of the Beaumont courthouse as Granger shot at Claudia Jackson, an ex-girlfriend and witness in a criminal trial against him. Granger also shot Samantha Jackson, the complaining witness in the case, before running her over with a pickup.
As previously in the trial, Granger behaved disruptively in court on Tuesday, with frequent outbursts.
His disturbances began as prosecutors Pat Knauth and Ed Shettle gave their closing arguments in the punishment phase. Granger laughed, muttered and held up a hand-written sign with the word "Death" for jurors during the arguments.
After he was told he would die for fatally shooting Minnie Ray Sebolt, Granger repeatedly interrupted Sebolt's daughter, Deborah Holst, during a victim impact statement.
"I really don't feel like hearing this," he said. "Why you gotta berate me? I didn't kill anyone - that's what ya'll saying."
He continued talking over Holst, insisting that though he "shot that lying bitch," a reference to his daughter, Samantha Jackson, and didn't shoot Sebolt.
Jackson, her mother and another woman were wounded during the shooting spree outside the Jefferson County Courthouse.
Judge Bob Wortham had Granger restrained in a chair and gagged by bailiffs so Holst could continue.
Half a dozen bailiffs stood around Granger, whose mouth was covered by what looked like a towel. The gag muffled but did not silence him.

Tarot Readings in Frankfort are performed by someone that is trained in how to read and interpret the symbolism of the Tarot Cards. Tarot Readers do not necessarily have to possess any psychic or supernatural gifts to perform Tarot Readings. It is more of a left-brain science (logical side of the brain) much like Astrology. I have found the best Tarot Readers are also initiates of the Golden Dawn Kabbalah*.
Having a Psychic Tarot Reading in Frankfort is fulfilling.
Too many people whine about not having the life they want. The main reason people fall short of their own expectations is the same reason most companies fail to achieve their objectives: poor planning and execution. In fact, I am amazed at how many successful executives create strategy for their business, leaving their life to chance. Often it's more comfortable (note I didn't say easier) to complain and blame outside factors for lack of accomplishment or unhappiness than to take time to work on life rather than in it.
I choose otherwise. A close entrepreneur friend, J, and I are taking our annual four days away to determine our futures and hold each other accountable. Here are the tips that will assure us success.
1. Plan a Preferred Future
As Lewis Carroll said: If you don't know where you are going, then any road will get you there. Both J and I are close to 50, so our 60th birthdays are the milestone for this journey. Twelve years is plenty of time to make course corrections and absorb any external factors thrown at us. Our planning will be specific and measurable. We'll take time to examine and discuss the details of every aspect of our lives, personal and professional, to achieve integrated success and happiness.
2. Be Pragmatic
Neither of us will be playing for the NBA at our age (or my height). The future has to reflect what is physically possible with available resources and limitations. Pragmatism isn't in itself restrictive, however; J and I will harness our creativity to design aspirational futures that exploit every opportunity and asset we have. We'll also create filters to keep us from wasting time and energy on what's unachievable or irrelevant.
3. Decide the Who, Not the What
We're defining who we want to be at 60, not what we want to be doing. The who centers on passion, core competencies, and core satisfaction, such as material requirements. If I know who I truly want to be, I can detail what to do, what to own, resources I need, etc. I can also determine what not to do, own, etc., focusing time and resources where required.
4. Be Honest
J and I will challenge each other constantly to get to the truth of who we are and who we wish to be. There will be no quiet politeness on this trip (not that I'm capable of it). I can't let J believe his own stories and rationalizations, causing misdirection and distraction. Warning: Allowing this dialogue requires intimate knowledge of each other and great trust. Pick your accountability partners wisely.
5. Consider the Tools Around You, Old and New
Every resource is important. On my old list is Napoleon Hill, who nearly 100 years ago connected creative visualization to success. And I will also consider new resources like crowdsourcing. Although I'm a natural skeptic for overhyped internet trends, my friend Elena Kriegner, a talented designer, inspired me with her Kickstarter campaign. It's simple, interesting, and elegant (like her jewelry), which is why it's gaining traction, unlike many others. In this planning exercise, no resources, new or old, are off the table to achieve my desired future.
6. Ignore the Naysayers
I live for constructive criticism. But outside perspective that is baseless conjecture or stems from emotional baggage (think dissatisfied family or friends) is destructive for achievers. Put these people in a box where they can't distract you from your ambitions. Find people who get it, and put them in your corner. Engage them in your preferred future, and help them achieve theirs.
7. Don't Settle for Mediocrity
Although being the next Steve Jobs or U.S. president is likely off our agenda (as it should be), J and I both want to be pushed to the limits of our potential. Too many people settle for what is easy rather than engage their energy and creativity to create something different and meaningful. Then they wonder why their work has no significance. I choose to pursue the Awesome Experience.
People who take a reactive approach to growth and development will suffer the same fate as companies, managers, and employees who let the markets, technology, and competitors determine their destiny. The game of life rewards aggressive players who leverage their energy, smarts (note that I didn't say intelligence), and creativity to determine and obtain the life that truly makes them happy. As Jim Collins points out in Great by Choice, good and bad luck comes to all; it's how you plan and execute that determines your return on luck.
Note: If you're interested in learning more about this process, contact me. I can share more specifics and tools from my small-group facilitations on preferred futuring. Perhaps you are ready to live your preferred future. Don't hope for it; determine, plan, and execute.
Present day Tarot Cards draw most of their symbolism from the Kabbalah. If you want a Tarot Reading, you will want to ask the Tarot Reader if they have knowledge of the Kabbalah as well.
There are pros and cons to both; It is a matter of personal preference really which is better.
*The Kabbalah incidentally is a form of Jewish Mysticism that is
believed to have originated from Moses. However, Mystical Kabbalah is non-religious; it ties in all the Gods and Goddesses of the world. I am referring to Kabbalah, from the Golden Dawn System of thought, often called "Mystical Kabbalah" today. Writer's such as: Dion Fortune, S.L. Macgregor Mathers, and Isreal Regardie disseminated the Mystical Kabbalah ideas through their early 1900 writings on the subject.

USPJ Academy launched on May 17 with what we have called the early access program. This program was designed to give us experience with running a professional academy and give students a chance to sample the great training that we provide at the academy.
The early access program is now closing, however, and on November 1, 2010, the applications close for new students. This is your last chance to get in before the tuition increases, and your last chance to get in this year at all.
Early access students get the full academy experience including:
- Collaborative and self-paced training for developers, administrators, and business users
- Full USPJA library, containing hundreds of books, videos, webcasts, articles, and other training material
- Access to world class faculty, the best of their kind
- Full use of USPJA Labs, a cloud based virtual machine solution (http://uspjalabs.com/)
- Free and prioritized access to all SharePointWebinars.com presentations (http://sharepointwebinars.com/)
- Campus forums, faculty blogs, and a range of features that will help you become a skilled SharePoint professional
- Early access students keep their reduced tuition for as long as they remain students, even after the tuition increase!
After November 1, we close applications to the academy until the full launch. When we reopen in January, the tuition will increase to $497.00 per month.
The early access tuition is $197 per month, a $300.00 reduction from the full tuition, without any downsides.
Apply now to get the best SharePoint training in the world (that's my opinion, and I'm sticking with it!)

In a paper published on July 25, 2012 (available from SSRN), Chicago-area scholars David Schwartz and Jay Kesan challenge a study by Boston University professors James Bessen and Michael Meurer, which claimed that patent litigation generated by so-called "non-practicing entities" imposes direct costs of $29 B. Intellectual Ventures' Peter Detkin and Patentology's Mark Summerfield already … Continue reading
The BBC ran another article in a tired meme about evil patent owners supposedly "costing" billions per year. Of course, the article doesn't specify who supposedly bore this $29 B "cost" or how it was calculated, but instead cites a Boston University paper by Professors James Bessen and Michael Meurer. According to the BBC article, … Continue reading
As reported by my colleagues at Patent Calls, Intellectual Ventures sued Hynix and Elpida (again) on July 11, along with 9 of their customers for allegedly infringing 5 (more) of its patents. At issue are four patents previously owned by Cirrus Logic, which also was the previous owner of patents in IV's first round of … Continue reading
Cassius Elston, Jr., former Director of Acquisitions (and later consultant) accuses Intellectual Ventures Management of unethical behavior in a revealing court-filing complete with name-dropping of several high profile companies apparently interested in selling patents to IV. Continue reading
The official story notwithstanding, the real architect of the Micron-to-Round Rock patent sale may actually have been none other than Intellectual Ventures. Consider the facts that the amount received by Micron for the patents, and the amount Micron paid for a license to IV patents were each small enough to escape SEC reporting obligations. This alone suggests that both parties were cooperating for mutual advantage, which included influencing John Desmarais to leave Kirkland to form his own practice, simultaneously freeing him up to represent Intellectual Ventures. Further, the source of Round Rock's funding has been shrouded in secrecy, but traceable to Intellectual Ventures. The benefits to Micron are obvious. Shifting 20% of its patents to a private party gives Intellectual Ventures the possibility of generating for more revenue that Micron would have been willing to pay in cash, arms privateers with resources to pursue Micron's competition and eliminates the significant maintenance cost associated with the patents.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Here's some news that has law enforcement officials and lawmakers scratching their heads:
Iowa is granting permits to acquire or carry guns in public to people who are legally or completely blind.
No one questions the legality of the permits. State law does not allow sheriffs to deny an Iowan the right to carry a weapon based on physical ability.
The quandary centers squarely on public safety. Advocates for the disabled and Iowa law enforcement officers disagree over whether it's a good idea for visually disabled Iowans to have weapons.
On one side: People such as Cedar County Sheriff Warren Wethington, who demonstrated for The Des Moines Register how blind people can be taught to shoot guns. And Jane Hudson, executive director of Disability Rights Iowa, who says blocking visually impaired people from the right to obtain weapon permits would violate the Americans with Disabilities Act. That federal law generally prohibits different treatment based on disabilities
On the other side: People such as Dubuque County Sheriff Don Vrotsos, who said he wouldn't issue a permit to someone who is blind. And Patrick Clancy, superintendent of the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School, who says guns may be a rare exception to his philosophy that blind people can participate fully in life.
Private gun ownership — even hunting — by visually impaired Iowans is nothing new. But the practice of visually impaired residents legally carrying firearms in public became widely possible thanks to gun permit changes that took effect in Iowa in 2011.
"It seems a little strange, but the way the law reads we can't deny them (a permit) just based on that one thing," said Sgt. Jana Abens, a spokeswoman for the Polk County Sheriff's Department, referring to a visual disability.
Polk County officials say they've issued weapons permits to at least three people who can't legally drive and were unable to read the application forms or had difficulty doing so because of visual impairments.
And sheriffs in three other counties — Jasper, Kossuth and Delaware — say they have granted permits to residents who they believe have severe visual impairments.
"I'm not an expert in vision," Delaware County Sheriff John LeClere said. "At what point do vision problems have a detrimental effect to fire a firearm? If you see nothing but a blurry mass in front of you, then I would say you probably shouldn't be shooting something." detail news

The media is not giving favorable treatment to the lawsuit brought by the six flying imams and their attempt to chill reporting of suspicious behavior by airline passengers. Will this be the case that finally damages CAIR in the media and the public's perception? Quite possibly. When even MSNBC is coming down on the imams by running an AP story critical of the attempted legal abuse, it may be time for the imams and their enablers to back down.
MINNEAPOLIS – Six Muslim men removed from a plane last fall after being accused of suspicious behavior are suing the airline and threatening to sue the passengers who complained — a move some fear could discourage travelers from speaking up when they see something unusual.
The civil rights lawsuit, filed earlier this month, has so alarmed some lawyers that they are offering to defend the unnamed "John Doe" passengers free of charge. They say it is vital that the flying public be able to report suspicious behavior without fear of being dragged into court.
"When you drive up the road towards the airport, there's a big road sign that says, 'Report suspicious behavior,"' said Gerry Nolting, a Minneapolis lawyer. "There's no disclaimer that adds, 'But beware if you do that, you might get sued."'
The fact that this is the only incident like this on record should indicate to rational people that the six imams set up a stunt specifically with the intent of filing a lawsuit. The fact that people who were on the flight are still convinced that the six were up to no good (as is stated later in the article) should show that the behavior was highly unusual and meant to provoke a response.

Hello all,
is there a way to display the source code of a class in an application and give it to a String variable?So i can get the values given by one class or even a package?
Something like:
What i want is similar to the NetBeans IDE feature where the Methods and values pops up in a window with the javadoc if you import a class or operate with values.Hope you know what i mean.Code:
String classSource[]=new String[](java.lang.String.*)
I guess,the better question is,how NetBeans does this?

Revision as of 04:25, 1 November 2007
Since the dawn of humanity, myth has existed in every society. From the stories of creation through the hands of the antediluvian Chinese god Pan Gu, to the exploits of Odin and his warriors of the great hall Valhalla, myths are customarily drawn from ancient, now-extinct religions. Through the passage of time, Man's desire for knowledge has enabled the walls of ignorance to erode, shedding new light into the reasons for our existence.
Over the centuries, the explorations of lands beyond the seas have evolved into voyages beyond the stars. With the advent of the space age, modern tales of fantasy — what we universally recognize as science fiction — have sprung from the creative minds of numerous fiction authors of the day. Many of these tales may very well develop into the myths of future generations. Yet as the study of science gradually breaks away from the grounded fields of human mindset, a handful of these literary inventions may one day prove to be truly prophetic. The works of prolific writer-scientists such as Arthur C. Clarke and Issac Asimov, form the genesis of the space-prophets era.
The construction of the bridge between fantasy and reality has inspired the stories of innumerable writers, and the videogame revolution has taken our imagination into visual reality. More often than not, we find these two paths intertwined. Squaresoft is one of the forerunners of this amalgamate.
This site hopes to explore the various mythological and scientific issues that have so often been incorporated into the visual world of Squaresoft games — where "fantasy becomes reality".

hi everyone my name is Steve and I read all your articles on this page for a few years with my girlfriend and we've always talked about her sleeping with another man, but most of those who once went a little fun with a camera. Jane is nice, but has a few extra kilos and is very insercure about his size and say, no one would sleep with her because she's too big. Anyway, we had a couple of local men in our list of Buddys and talk from time to time, and after a few drinks on a night we cam. could be used is, be able to see the camera with the start of the shirt printing and top shelf so here it is more intense teaseing, legs open and then closed her panties at the request of the guy I spoke, and I invite you to do the same and remove thay masterbate then ask each other until they both cum. never show completely naked, because they really have the feeling that their size would be of men say they had to fight too. Identification try to reasure hhe, she looked
good and there are plenty of girls older than her. Two and a half weeks darts Jane went to the local pub. I put it online to play and began to speak of a certain Graham asked me if I wanted to play Jane in the cam and explained that she had gone, and would return later. S asked. "Why they will not send a photo of yourself slutload or show your face tells me why, and that if they had more confedent would find other men We talked over ABIT. Agree that when we got ready casual a pub, and he would find a game of pool i could see if slutload she liked a challenge. I sent him a picture of her and wanted to make sure your. sneaky, I know, but a step in the direction in the right direction. How jane I agreed to slutload the bar and had a couple of drinks a played a few games of pool. Then Graham went in. She immediately recognized me and said, have the appearance that the I speak to online man tried to close, conclude by saying that is nothing like hellom. But they insisted that he was. FUCK I will never forgive me if this is not COINCEDENTS and I began to realize it really feels guilty. Graham beer and arrived as promised slutload and told him he had to play the winners of all casual. I could not make eye contact with him, for fear they would give anything to say, but surely. Then he started talking to us about things in general, I like Jane and played pool. Jane blushed every time I asked him a question, and I could talk to him while she thought her husband on the internet to see. I'll let Jane win the game and went to
the bar to get a beer, and soon they were laughing and joking. We played a little game of slutload pool, then the three of us sat and talked. I was like water from Downing pints nervously, but I think within a few hours, I was lost and began to feel ill, so I got up and went to pull the toilet. After about twenty minutes or so Graham came to see if I was okay, he helps me and told me id better hjane elp you get home. I drag an apology and we went home. Hers was vague, but I remember it was a joke on me and in me i been sick a couple of times on the way home as soon as I arrived, I went to the bathroom and sat there with my head in my spiders hands and was soon in the land of Nod.. The next day I woke up early with a headache and dehydration So I went straight down
for a drink slutload and saw Jane was asleep on the couch with a blanket around her all her slutload clothes on ground. woke me and ask why he was there and she said she did it for fear it could get to sleep in bed with her and i
was sick at Graham asked and he answered calmly, after me and home help. I went to bed I slept late, woke up, went into the line of Graham Send an e- mail only to appologised but he was on the line, he thanked me for last night, adding that he never said about jane our disposal and that should take care of their bodies. I replied and told me to sit aloneshes restless walk naked. His response was I do not know why I thought it look good. Meen WHAT ? What happens then? ORDERED.. here wrote. when you were in the pub toilet jane I said that I thought were very fortunate to have her and thought she was really attractive. replied that they say, Thanx for your bad you do not. she admitted that she knew me from the internet, and it was, had its start flashing kissed and she did not care, so I put my hand on his knees and tried here, he said, his finger under the table, but not here, then I came and you're thinking, our agreement would fufil but had to go beyond that we get home and before we realized he had fallen asleep in
the bathroom again. I told Jane that id be better, but she asked if he Identifying a drink and before I knew it was going to kiss again and this time it has prevented me from you finger. We both undressed I wondered if I would like to use a condom, but she shook her head, and then we had sex that left them in thcouch and went home e. We
promise to meet again and this time he
would not drink. I write here, and if I can think of better information. steve..

This is odd. I totally want to blog, but I'm having a hard time finding words I think interesting enough to place here. I'm not bored, I'm just content and happy and tired and relaxed, and while it's wonderful to feel this way, it doesn't make the best blog fodder. The cats are napping in the sun, no one's peed today (well, not in any bad places, anyway), I have plenty of TiVo cued up for this afternoon—a private screening of Underworld, even though I heard it sucked, followed by Bend it Like Beckham, because it's so cute. I'm learning how to duplicate stitch. I hate it, so far, thanks. But it's far, far better than intarsia.
Squeamish? Spoiler here—stop now. * I need to trim the cats' nails. The other morning, as Adah was walking over and around and over and around (and over and around) my head at four in the freaking morning, I flipped her off the pillow, as I often do. It doesn't deter her in the slightest, but it makes me feel better. This time, though, I got a claw through my eyelid. All the way through. It wasn't on purpose, it was just what she hit when she went over my head. I screamed. Loudly. When I was in the bathroom washing it, the soap went through my eyelid and burned my eye. Isn't that deesgusting? Luckily, the claw didn't hit the eyeball at all, and I've kept antibiotic on it for two days, and it's almost all healed, but still. Please. I was mad at her for a whole day, and it wasn't even her fault. Bad me. We've made up now, but then she escaped this morning and came back covered in mud, so we're still glaring at each other a bit. Teenagers. What are you gonna do?
God, I'm back to having no words. Just wanna sit on the swing outside and look at the sunny day and think about knitting and eat chips. Happy.

The immense love and support from you 'Creative Heads' have been surreal over the past few years. Inspiro India wishes to grow with the growing population of '#inspiroindia'. We're continuously working to bring great content to anyone and everyone following us on various platforms.
This February we present to you, an all new feature presenting 'The Blogger of the Week'.
The GreyHalfway is an exquisite blog run by Monalisha Mahapatra who is a Fashion, Travel and Luxury Blogger and Stylist based in Delhi. A fun loving person and chirpy around her friends which is hard to make out when you first look at her 'numb looking' pictures, she says. Monalisha blogs about fashion, travel and luxury lifestyle which is true to her personality and distinguishes her from the others.

She defines her style to be comfortable and yet poised. Her pictures are a delight to look at as she takes her inspiration from art. The GreyHalfway started in August of 2015 when she just wanted to upload her pictures from photography and modelling on a website.
(As delightful as her pictures are to look at, we couldn't help but wonder about the story behind her blog name!) Ms Mahapatra came up with the name when she was working for a fashion brand. A random search for cable knit sweaters and grey mufflers on Pinterest led her to be fascinated by the colour 'Grey'. She randomly came up with the name 'GreyHalfway' which was then bought by her friend. A consequent squabble between them barred her from using the name for her website.
Since Monalisha was so intrigued by the colour Grey, she came up with the idea of adding 'The' in her blog name hence 'The GreyHalfway' was born!

TheGreyHalfway is a hit among 18-24-year-olds and is spread all over the world. Monalisha uses Canon Mark III for her pictures. The washed out grey effect to her pictures is how she abides by her blog name and not to forget her love for the colour grey.
She'd like to point out to how her blog and even other female bloggers often come across people who text her for personal contact and gains. Monalisha says she finds it creepy and offensive when she gets direct messages and even pictures on Instagram, Snapchat and Emails from people. She'd like the readers to know that her blog is her full-time profession and people should stop contacting her for personal interests.
Regular content posting and individual personality are the tips she'd like to give to someone who'd want to start blogging. Copying others is a strict no-no.

New owner buys Courtland Gardens
Published 9:20 pm, Wednesday, September 1, 2010
STAMFORD -- A Southfield, Mich., company has made a deal to buy the financially shaky Courtland Gardens Healthcare Center, and will continue to run the 162-bed nursing facility, according to the home's current owner, Kindred Healthcare.
In a Wednesday statement, Kevin Prisco, executive director for Kindred's Connecticut homes, announced the company would sell the 53 Courtland Ave. home to Ciena Healthcare Management Inc., a long-term health-care management company which for two months has been negotiating a purchase.
Kindred will assist Ciena in taking over the home, Prisco said. As part of the agreement, Kindred will also begin accepting new admissions Thursday. It had refused new patients after announcing plans to close in May.
"We are pleased to announce we have reached an agreement to sell Courtland Gardens," Prisco said in the statement. "This proposed agreement will allow Courtland Gardens to remain open as a nursing facility."
Ciena began negotiating to buy the home in July shortly after the state Department of Social Services rejected Kindred's bid to close the home.
Prisco declined to address the price Ciena paid or other specifics; Anis Khan, Ciena's chief executive officer did not return calls for comment.
Additional information on the deal was not available Wednesday afternoon, said Glenn Oswald, a Ciena spokesman.
Local officials, relatives, and residents of the home, who opposed Kindred's proposed closure, said they were relieved to avoid the likely dispersal of their loved ones to more distant nursing homes if Courtland had closed.
John Sousa, 57, of Bridgeport, said he had left his 89-year-old mother, Maria, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease in the home, fearing the consequences of transferring someone so fragile.
"Every time she has been moved, she has had some accident or mishap due to not knowing her surroundings," Sousa said. "I hope the commissioner of social services, realized the importance of good nursing care after seeing how families and residents fought to keep it open."
State Sen. Andrew McDonald, D-Stamford, who had questioned Kindred's efforts to close the home for financial reasons, said the loss of Courtland's services to families in Stamford and surrounding towns would have been a major blow to nursing care options.
"More broadly, this is a great development for the residents and it is an important outcome for all of Stamford," McDonald said. "Having a diverse and robust set of options for nursing home facilities is very important to the community."
It was unclear whether Ciena had completed negotiations with members of SEIU Healthcare Workers Union Chapter 1199 over wage concessions and increased health care premiums, which Khan had earlier said could make or break the deal.
Suzanne Clark, an elected organizer for Chapter 1199, which represented about 135 workers at the home, declined comment on the sale.
Khan had asked the workers to give up a 2.5 percent raise to go into effect in September.
In July, DSS prohibited Kindred from closing the home, finding it had yet to exhaust efforts to sell the home and gain labor concessions.
In its application to close, Kindred said the home lost $3.7 million in 2008, and $3.9 million in 2009.
At the time, the state's rejection of Kindred's request to close was the first such denial "in memory," Social Services spokesman David Dearborn said at the time.
McDonald said he would be pleased if, as patients return, Ciena rehires any workers let go as a result of patients leaving the home.
"Having a place with such high quality care in close proximity is very important," McDonald said. "From what I understand, there are callback provisions if Ciena doesn't run the home for a certain number of years, and there is certainly some risk being borne by them."
To help promote the deal, the state agreed to increase the approved daily Medicaid reimbursement rate to $247 a day per patient from the previous $233.
Elaine Jellison, 49, a resident of the home for 10 years, said she was relieved to hear the facility would remain open; she had feared the impact moving would have had on her health.
"We're so happy because tomorrow they are going to start admissions again," Jellison said Wednesday. "We all feel great because we don't have to worry about this anymore."

Can anyone tell me why my chicken has a complete bald bottom! its a patch around 2" diameter?
30 Jan 2013 21:38
Moulting-a similar thing happened to one of mine12 months ago-guess not laying either?
Other than that is she OK?
30 Jan 2013 21:46
Hi Sotongeoff, I noticed it yesterday for the first time, I have 4 hens in total and got 4 eggs Monday, 2 yesterday and 3 today which is quite normal at the moment.If she is laying it would be usual to get 4 tomorrow. Because there are 4 of them, I'm never sure which has laid and which hasn't. She seems OK other than the bald patch.
I did read on another site that she could be 'eggbound' which could be fatal!
30 Jan 2013 22:00
I think egg bound is a slight myth that we attribute to anything that goes wrong
Are the others pecking her-you can get a spray to stop that if they are- they always detect a weakness.
You should notice a lot of feathers lying about if she is moulting-are there?
30 Jan 2013 22:05
When I cleaned them on Sunday I didn't notice any feathers, I haven't noticed any pecking either. I will keep an eye on them tomorrow and come back to you. Thank you
30 Jan 2013 22:06
Please do
31 Jan 2013 07:30
If you've checked that she doesn't have any mites, then she's probably moulting (some of them do it in patches). I'd up the protein-level in her feed as she'll need it to grow new feathers. The others will probably follow suit. Their egg production is likely to drop off as they moult and grow new feathers, but when they've got their new plumage and the day length really lengthens and the weather gets warmer the egg laying rate will pick up again.
If she does have mites then a lot of poultry keepers use Frontline (puppy/kitten strength) on the back of the next only and treat all hens at the same time - I must add that as I understand it, it is not licensed for use on chickens in the UK at the present time and you may prefer to seek advice from a vet who specialises in poultry. Advice on withdrawing eggs when treating with Frontline is ambiguous - you may like to look on some poultry fora - there's info here http://chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=5250.0
When I kept poultry I found it helped to keep a large shallow container of dry sand in the henhouse during the winter, as the hens' usual dustbaths were too wet to use because of the weather. The dustbath and preening helps the chickens rid themselves of mites etc.
If the hens do have mites then you also need to treat a wooden henhouse thoroughly with a proprietory treatment to get rid of the infestation.
31 Jan 2013 09:20
Hi Dovefromabove,
I'm fairly new to this and have not had to do anything so far apart from the general looking after them. I'll of had them a year in April. The hen house was new so its not been treated as yet, was planning on doing it as soon as the weather picks up. I've not treated them for mites yet either although I do add mite powder on every clean. Will I be able to see them clearly?
How do I up the protein level? They have laying pellets and scraps from the kitchen, ie; salad, veg, bread and maybe a little cooked pasta from time to time. I'll add the tray of sand as its a bit of a mud bath in there at the moment!
31 Jan 2013 09:25
am on the kindle so can't go into to much detail as the keyboard is tiny
If it is mites they feed on blood- look under the perches for red stains
31 Jan 2013 09:33
To up the protein level increase the layers pellets and cut down on the other stuff for a while. Layers pellets are designed as complete nutrition, so if they fill up on pasta and bread they're cutting down on their protein. Fine if they're in full health and the weather's warm, but in the wet and cold winter weather they're probably not getting much protein from worms and bugs in the soil (I presume they're free range, or at least with access to worms and bugs )
It's a while since I've kept poultry (used to have a laying flock of pure breeds (Marans, Rhode Island Reds and Welsummers) along with a load of cross-bred bantams which I used to hatch the pure-bred eggs (I had a different type of cockerel each year, one year Maran, the next Welsummer and so on). So anyway, I'm a bit out of touch with which wormng and mite treatments are allowed nowadays so if I were you I'd locate a vet who is knowledgeable about laying hens (not all are!) and check out some websites http://www.thepoultrygarden.com/phpbb/ this is another good one.
I love chickens - enjoy yours
31 Jan 2013 09:39
Thank you so much, great advice! I love my girlies too and yes, they are free range.
31 Jan 2013 09:46
Am on the Pc-now
It is unlikely to be mites in the winter-more likely just a moult
They are like kids feed them sweets they prefer the sweets-so cut out the extras for a bit and just feed them pellets-you should see an improvement
Before you go to the vet-and this is the unpleasnt bit-bear in mind the cost- a course ot treatment does not come cheap
I have used frontline in the past-go on-line to but it is about 50%cheaper than at vets or stores
31 Jan 2013 10:03
31 Jan 2013 10:16
Its a bit odd the way they moult, its literally a perfect circle right under her tail....if they they have a tail? Will check for blood and feathers.
31 Jan 2013 10:29
It is not usually like that -usually thet just go all scruffy-but the bald patch is the same spot as one of mine last year-but then the others started pecking it then she started pecking it-they are sweet but pretty thick and nasty at times -that is where the purple spray came in
The mites are tiny brown dots that go red when they have feasted-hard to spot individually-I use a poultry house spray every few months seems to work-prevention being better than cure
31 Jan 2013 12:31
Had a quick look round perch, can't see any blood and no obvious feathers lying around so I'm off to Wynestay to get me some purple spray and some poultry house spray.....got my 4 eggs today so shes not egg bound!
31 Jan 2013 12:43
I have four hens and a cock.They're coming up to a year now.The amount of eggs i get a day has differed in the winter but always 4 a day in the summer.I have noticed a few feathers around their house ,however i was told not to worry as in the winter they can moult.However i would of thought this was more likely to happen during the summer months.One of my hens'Daisy'seems to very popular with'Burdock'The Cock!Unfortunately she has lost a few feathers where he has pecked at her etc!!! Iam wondrering if i should separate her from him for a bit? Somone suggested in knitting a coat to cover her back where its gong bold!I spray the house with red mite spray every couple of months so i think they are clean.I try not to over worry about them .You can get over obsessed with checking poop ,bold spots etc.Lets face it we all ' over spoil our chickens'
31 Jan 2013 13:25
Hi jacqui
Dont do the coat thing-all the stuff I have read is that it just becomes a mite breeding heaven
Not sure that having a cock in with them is a good idea-unless you want to breed?
31 Jan 2013 14:14
Now you have said 'perfect ring' do chickens get ring worm Geoff?
If so that is a fungal infection, hard to get rid of.
They get bald backs if a cock is running with them, but he will keep them together.
You shouldn't sell eggs if you have a cockerel
