If you are thinking of changing the look of your home then a good place to start is with the flooring. Your choice of flooring is the key to pulling together a complete look and is the thing that will give a room a certain ambience and a style that is all your own.
And what better choice can there be than oak wood floor to make an instant impression? Oak is a hardwood which has been a popular choice for craftsmen in many different genres over centuries and that is because oak is not only extremely durable but is a very attractive wood with an appearance that improves with age. Oak wood has a certain grain that is very agreeable and practical for flooring which can define the look of a room instantly. Oak Wood Flooring is a classic, stylish, welcoming, and beautiful. And best of all it is hard-wearing and durable so it is perfect for any room in the home including rooms which experience high footfall.
The grain and construction of oak means that it lends itself well to colour and texture. This means there is a good range of different shades of oak to suit every room and every taste and whatever you choose will only become more beautiful as the colour becomes richer over the years. Whether your preference is for a very light, almost white wood or the darkest and most opulent of shades you can find an oak wood floor to suit your style as well as your budget. In addition, oak also comes in a variety of oiled, lacquered or waxed finishes to give you even more choice.
If you want your flooring to be easy to clean and maintain at the same time as looking lovely then oak is perfect for this. All that is needed to keep it looking pristine is a once-weekly sweeping or dust mopping to retain the shine and bring out the colour. Oak is extremely resistant to damage from splitting as well as to damage from insects and fungi and this is another thing that makes oak such an enduringly popular choice. With flooring that is so hard-working you can be sure that spending money on repairs is something that you won't need to worry about.
Whether your personal preference is for contemporary or classic antique, oak, with its high quality, timeless look is the way to go.

The Future of Work: Hybrid Working
Positive Dynamics > Blog > The Future of Work: Hybrid Working
After working from home for over a year now, it's time to look ahead and begin preparations for the future way of working. Will work be office or home based? Or a hybrid method of working?
By adopting a hybrid model of working it allows the future of work to be purpose led. Individuals will still have some autonomy based on the requirements of their role and the need to collaborate and connect. In this method, there are no strict restrictions or policies imposed on employees to how and where they work in the future.
In October, Microsoft gave their annual Future of Work keynote in which they stated that due to the pandemic we are now in a new era of digitisation. Traditional objections to working remotely and flexibility have been made obsolete as the shift to remote work has shown employers that "we can trust people to do their best even when there is no one watching".
Across the globe companies have developed innovative initiatives to tackle the new ways of working from home to balance home and work life, which you can read more about here in our reflections on the new ways of working. Now we have to determine what the future of work looks like by adapting the existing concepts we have and champion the benefits (both of office and home working) to find the balance.
This process begins with managing expectations in organisational policies. On an individual and personal level, it's about ensuring employees have good wellbeing, avoid burnout, set firm boundaries between work and home life and have access to suitable professional development. There needs to be agile options for individuals to choose a way to work that works for them within the overarching organisation objectives to ensure all objectives on an individual, team and organisation level are met.
Our prediction is that the future of work could be a hybrid of office and home work. In our view, the future office space would be used for:
Thorny Decision Making
Relationships & Cohesion
The space may not be a traditional office space, but it might be informal meeting room or renting out a public space for collaborative work to take place. In this hybrid way of working as well as time in the office, there would be time to work at home or in a local space such as a café or co-working space.
Remote working would be ideal for tasks that require:
One to One's
'All employee' comms
This balance of home and office-based work breeds a culture and adopts behaviours that address the benefits and vices of working from home full-time throughout the pandemic.
As the vaccine roll out continues, the future of work and how we return to the office is fast approaching, so it's important to act now. The change is happening now, our ways of working are still evolving so it's important to keep reviewing them and remain agile. Be the change you want to see and lead by example with bold strategies that ensure personal and professional wellbeing is prioritised.
Will you adopt a hybrid method of working?

Hi, i am using calendar and want to see place in Locus not in google maps.
I can choose locus form shares but it doesnt show the place (google maps shows).
locus already supports this. it seems like you have set google maps as the default map aplication. go to settings>apps>maps>clear defaults.
No, it is not the point. I have no default app. Every time i tap on my calendar place, i can choose one of the apps. I always choose 'only once'. And when i choose google then it opens google maps at proper place, but if i choose locus pro then it opens at the last place i was when i run Locus app.
You said that it works in default calendar, i can say more: all calendar i know work with google maps but not with Locus, so it is not so obvious that it is case of "Fact that some alternative calendar is not able to send correct information" as Menion said... i think.
Fact that some alternative calendar is not able to send correct information, which works correctly in case of default calendar, cannot be considered as issue I think.
Oki, understand. Please try firstly last 3.9.0 version of Locus.
If it still won't work, I'll need link to some free version of calendar that cause troubles and some description what to do and where write required info, to test exactly this issue. With these information, I'll gladly check and test why it do not work as expected.
Still doesn't work :( i think that it has something to do with place/address search, because i defined place by its name and city, and google maps found that (if i tap it and share from calendar). So... i suppose that it is simple string that google maps can find, so it is not exactly bug or something, it is about search of address and find coordinates to show on the map... i tried other app and saw just string withh address.
So... never mind... but it would be nice if locus would find shared address.
But it should work same in Locus. Locus should receive defined text and then automatically start same function as is in menu > search > address with predefined text.
i copied whole text from address from calendar to the clipboard and paste into locus search address and it found that exactly.
Just add event with date, time and localization writing address.
i usually tap folded map icon on agenda widget to see the place. When tapping i can choose app to share to, i didnt set default app 'cause i like to choose in what app i will see the place i am looking for.
That is what I needed to know ... method to simulate it. For this calendar, issue fixed, thanks!
Thanx Menion, you're like a lightning!
Just curious, what was the cause?
Problem was quite un-typical format of information that Locus received.
in case, they do not know Location. And Locus was not able to load it correctly.
I forgot mention that it is about address with city, Street and building number. Not coordinates.

Lakers Unveil Throwback for 2017-18 Season
By Paul Lukas, on October 24th, 2017
As had been widely expected based on video game leaks, the Lakers announced that they'll wear George Mikan-era Minneapolis Lakers throwbacks this season (which they also wore back in 2002). The design will make its 2017 on-court debut tomorrow and will be worn four more times this season. You can see the dates here.
This is the part where I say it's a classic design but it's ruined by the maker's mark and the corporate ad patch, both of which feel badly out of place on a retro-styled jersey, and wouldn't it be nice if they could omit those elements from the throwbacks, especially since Nike and Wish didn't even exist back when the Minneapolis Lakers played, but of course they won't do that because they're greedy motherfuckers. Never mind, you already knew all of that.
The Lakers are the fifth NBA team to reveal a throwback this season. The others are the Bucks, Hornets, Suns, and Warriors. Three additional teams — the Hawks, Heat, and Pacers — are slated to have throwbacks this season but have not yet revealed them.
Time for the Fall Classic: The World Series begins tonight in Los Angeles. As usual I've prepared a preview column for ESPN, with 10 uni-related items to keep an eye on (including the difference beween Dodgers center fielder Chris Taylor's real stirrups and teammate Enrique Hernández's one-piece faux stirrups, shown above). Check it out here.
Incidentally, when I said that the Series will start "tonight," that was technically inaccurate for people on the west coast, since the game will begin at 5:09pm Pacific Time. Obviously, we all understand why the networks do this, but I figure it must be really annoying for fans who'll miss the first few innings while they're commuting home from work. For those of you who live out west, how do you feel about this, and how do you deal with it?
NBA Uni Tracking: Last week I noted that the first two days of NBA action had produced zero color-vs.-color games, despite the elimination of home and road uniform designations. I concluded by saying, "If anyone wants to track all of this during the course of the season, I'd love to see how it all plays out."
Reader Collin Wright immediately volunteered. He's going to update us once a week on how the NBA's uniform pairings are shaping up. Up through last night, there had been 48 NBA games so far this season. Those games break down as follows:
White vs. color, home team in white: 31 games (65%).
White vs. color, road team in white: 11 games (23%).
Color vs. color: 6 games (12%).
One note: If the Lakers wear yellow at home, we're treating that as white, not as color. (And if the Lakers wear white at home, of course we're treating that as white as well.)
So one week in, nearly two-thirds of the teams are still wearing white at home, and 85% of the games are still white vs. color. Not exactly a revolution, at least so far.
Collin also passed along the following observations:
• The Hornets, Clippers, Pelicans, 76ers, and Kings have only worn colored uniforms so far.
• The Knicks and Suns have only worn white uniforms so far.
• No team has worn its colored alternate uniform yet, although the Suns and Warriors have both worn their white throwbacks.
That's it for this week. Big thanks to Collin for compiling this data. We'll hear from him again next week, and every week throughout the season.
Click to enlarge (it's totally worth it!)
Too good for the Ticker: A link to the photo shown above was posted in yesterday's comments by reader/commenter Pedro. It It shows the Kodak Park team that won the world amateur softball championship in Chicago. That's some uniform! I tried to find some game photos but came up empty.
I'd love to see a colorized version of this. Anyone want to take a crack at it?
By Brinke Guthrie
Tonight is Game One of the World Series, so we're featuring the Houston Astros on today's edition of Collector's Corner. The seller indicates that Jeff Bagwell wore this tequila sunrise jersey on 6/26/99. Note that the jersey has Mitchell & Ness tagging — did they actually make on-field jerseys? Yes! Bill Henderson's authoritative guide indicates that M&N did indeed make the throwbacks that the Astros wore on that date. Of course, that doesn't guarantee that the jersey is truly game-worn, but it's still interesting to see that M&N supplied on-field product back in the late 1990s.
Now for the rest of this week's picks:
• Here's a lot of 1970s Vikings-wear; a cap, scarf, and facemask for those cold Minnesota days.
• Here's a nice-looking 1980s Steelers ceramic football bank.
• This 1970s New York Rangers hockey skate/bottle opener is still in the package.
• Here's a promo patch from Newport, Kentucky's Wiedemann brewing for the 1977-78 Cincinnati Stingers. Not even close with the logo. They took the player art from this schedule. They got just a bit closer with the logo the following season. Finally, check out the "Riverfront Coliseum" logo on these Stingers tickets. A classic, and one I have fond memories of.
• Back in the 1970s, Bonanza Steakhouses offered NFL gumball helmets for sale, like this Giants helmet, still sealed in the package.
• This 1970s Dallas Cowboys helmet buggy is in perfect condition!
• If you're a Chargers fan, take notice of this 1960s poster. It's never been removed from the plastic packing tube.
• This 1970s Cincinnati Reds luggage tag has "United Airlines, the Airline of Sports Champions" on one side.
• Cheer the Saints on to victory with this 1960s megaphone.
• Here we have a Philadelphia Flyers button still in the package. The seller says it's circa 1960s, but the NFL shield top left wasn't used until 1970, so we'll date it from that point on.

What Paul did last night several nights ago: Every year around this time I attend the Food Film Festival, which is exactly what it sounds like — a bunch of short movies about food. The kicker is that they serve you the food you're seeing on the screen as the movies are playing (which sounds chaotic and disruptive but actually works out surprisingly well), and then there's an afterparty with more food. It's always a great time.
The FFF typically extends over four days, but I usually attend only one or two days. This year that day was last Friday, when some friends and I checked out this program. Most of the movies were about the actual preparation of food, but one of them was a really clever, super-entertaining flick about how the term "Grey Poupon" shows up a lot in rap lyrics. That film, which was originally done for Vox, is available on the web. Highly, highly recommended — the best 10 minutes you'll spend today, trust me.

RE: Playoff games in Pacific Time: "… For those of you who live out west, how do you feel about this, and how do you deal with it?
I have yet to meet a West Coaster, though I'm sure they exist, who does not like that pro games start in mid-afternoon, and end in early evening. The only gripe comes on Sunday mornings when football kick-offs on the East Coast are at 10am.
The biggest gripes have to be on the East Coast, where games END around midnight or later. For working stiffs who rise early (like me), that is brutal.
Sean | October 24, 2017 at 8:31 am |
Former West Coaster. I HATE that WS games start at 5. At least when my team was in it.
As for NFL games starting at 10 AM, that's what I miss most. Games at 10, 1, and 5:30. Games are done by 8:30 and I get to bed on time. I stayed up to watch that Raiders/Chiefs game and don't know how you East Coasters cope with that BS.
Jeff | October 24, 2017 at 10:35 am |
Just moved to the east coast for the first time and can't stand how late games go! I'd much rather miss the first couple of innings than the last few.
Daniel E | October 24, 2017 at 12:06 pm |
I'm with Jeff. If I have to miss half a game, I'd much rather it be the first half than the second half. Who wants to leave a game not knowing the outcome?
FiteClub | October 24, 2017 at 10:25 am |
Growing up in CA, I grew to love NFL start times at 10:00. I'd make brunch and bloody marys and enjoy the early action before my team (Raiders) normally took the field for their 1 pm (4 eastern) start. Moving to the east coast was a big adjustment in that regard.
Early start times for my Dodgers in playoff games meant I just had to find a way to leave work early. Granted, not everyone has that type of workplace flexibility, but I usually found a way to work around the early start times. I also enjoyed the fact that in CA games weren't going on after midnight like later when I lived on the east coast.
TomR | October 24, 2017 at 10:51 am |
As a Pacific-Timer, I love when games start earlier. I work from 7-3, so it is perfect to get home, gear up for the game and get to bed at a reasonable hour!

The World Series preview column is up:
http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/21128890/a-fall-classic-preview-uniform-connoisseur
RS Rogers | October 24, 2017 at 8:47 am |
Terrific preview. To my eye, this looks to be the best-uniformed World Series since maybe 1991. Been a long time since two such sharply dressed teams have met; even each team's alternates are terrific.
As for the Astros jersey script, sure, it looks off-balanced, except for the players who wear numbers on the front. Which, happily, turns out to be all of them. Front numbers usually un-balance script treatments other than slanting script. So with arched lettering, offsetting the script to the left is an elegant solution to achieving a balanced composition with the numbers. Judging the script as script, the placket break is offputtig. Judging the script as a design element for the jersey as a whole, it's perfect. That detail – taking something so classically "wrong" that I would never even consider doing it, and making it work – is one of several reasons that the current Astros unis have become some of my favorites in baseball.
Marc M. | October 24, 2017 at 12:26 pm |
Disagree, Phillies v. Yankees in 2009.
Hit the Glass | October 24, 2017 at 8:28 am |
Uni ad and Nike swoosh is why I'm calling those jerseys fauxbacks.
World Series start times were always frustrating when I lived in California. I never really thought about it until 2010 and I had to listen to the first few innings on the radio on the way home. Thank God for Jon Miller! I've since moved to the Central time zone. Now I'm pissed that I won't be able to see the end since these games will take 4 plus hours.
Chris | October 24, 2017 at 8:32 am |
East Coast fans get the shaft, nothing better then going to bed at 1am & having to wake up at 530am. At least the Super Bowl starts at 630-ish EST.
Peter | October 24, 2017 at 3:09 pm |
If anyone is getting "the shaft"…its our friends in Newfoundland…90 minutes ahead of EST…
Brett Alan | October 26, 2017 at 8:34 am |
OTOH, I'm in Asia at the moment, and popping the game on early in the morning is working pretty well for me…
Rob S | October 24, 2017 at 8:42 am |
It's amazing how much range in effort there was in the 1994 NFL throwback effort. But the team that half-assed it the most for me was the Buffalo Bills. They didn't even bother changing out the stripes on the helmet, let alone wear the proper color helmet, and the throwback jerseys looked like cheap knock-offs of their current jerseys rather than actual throwbacks.
BurghFan | October 24, 2017 at 8:52 am |
I STILL feel ripped off by what the Colts wore against the awesome 1933 Steeler unis.
Greg | October 24, 2017 at 9:05 am |
Seems like more than a few teams just decided to use the same helmet even if it didn't make the throwback. Jets using their green helmet with the 60's era throwback.
The results of the vote are no surprise, Oilers and Chargers were the most popular throwbacks.
Wade Heidt | October 24, 2017 at 9:33 am |
Bad effort for the Jets. Always makes me snicker when I think about how they decided to actually use a Saskatchewan Roughriders throwback helmet instead and plop their logo on it:
https://ssl.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000uHyb7dYS6wI/s/860/860/Craig-Ellis-Sask1984.jpg
Rob S | October 24, 2017 at 11:17 am |
The Jets jerseys at least had the correct sleeve colors, and at least they bothered to put stripes on the helmets (though the fact that they used the green helmets and black facemasks at all is disappointing). Still not as bad as Buffalo, in my opinion.
Being an east coaster I envy the 5pm start time. If it is your team, you are going to find a way to start watching the games at 5pm. Now, as I understand it the traffic is awful in LA, so you're probably talking about having to leave work a full hour before the game to get home in time. I find it kind of comical that some would complain about a 5pm local start time, since for years people were upset that the games got switched from late afternoon to the evening.
Jason | October 24, 2017 at 8:48 am |
I'd take 5pm starts over a 1am finish
Like many West Coasters, I work at a job with many clients in the Eastern Time Zone. Live on the West Coast and work East Coast hours. World Series starting at 5pm not a problem. I am long gone from work by then.
Plus we can see all the West Coast games as it is never too late. NFL starting at 10 am. The Hockey Night in Canada games at 4pm and 7pm.
Gurf | October 24, 2017 at 9:23 am |
I'm surprised the NFL didn't do more of a data dive about viewership for that one game that got moved from Arizona to Oakland, and from the afternoon to 11 p.m. Sunday on the East coast.
I think the NFL would love to have five broadcast windows on Sunday — 9 a.m. (for a game in Europe), 1:05 p.m., 4:25 p.m., 8:15 p.m., and 11 p.m. Complete monopoly!
Perhaps this has been addressed, but I suppose we consider the Astros to be a navy team, with orange as their secondary color, even though when they go with a colored jersey it is orange?
I think they really are missing the boat by not having an orange cap, makes them stand out from all the other blue and navy teams. Likewise, judging from the crowds at their games, seems like the fans prefer orange.
If you're referring to the first item in my World Series preview, I didn't refer to the Astros as a "navy team," nor did I imply that they have a navy/orange color hierarchy. I simply said navy is one of their team colors, which it is.
Oh yeah, I don't think you made any proclamation about their color hierarchy. That is what I am curious about, and I'm guessing it has been addressed before. Based on their uniforms they are a navy team with orange trim. Which is unfortunate, because they look like a Tigers knock off, when they could be their own thing with orange.
Jerry | October 24, 2017 at 9:00 am |
"that M+N did indeed make the throwbacks"
Maybe it's nit-picky but: M+N made the jerseys.
They didn't become "throwbacks" until recently.
No, they were already throwbacks in 1999, when they were worn for that game.
Mangler | October 24, 2017 at 9:10 am |
"Astros 2017 World Series champions rings — in 2015": if the Cubs don't make the World Series in 2015 — and win it all the following year — maybe the Astros…
I know LeBron James is a basketball legend, but to already have an arena named after him —
https://www.ohio.com/akron/sports/lebron-james-arena-is-open-for-business-at-st-vincent-st-mary
I've heard that it's recommended for runners to put their name on their shirt so spectators can cheer for them by name.
The Gord Downie marathon runner has his first name on his bib number. Can spectators pick peoples' names out of those bibs? And do the elite runners have their first names on their bibs too?
I think you see many elite runners with their WHOLE names on bibs. (WNOB?)
Special K | October 24, 2017 at 2:12 pm |
That's called FNOB (Full Name on Back/Bib).
Jim Vilk | October 24, 2017 at 9:14 am |
I join those who would rather miss the start of a game then have to go to bed before the end of it. I'm a lifelong Eastern Timer, but when I visit the West Coast I like the fact that after the games you can still go out or turn in early.
Penn State apparently tried to block the Bucks from wearing the jerseys citing number contrast rules, but to no avail
So there are rules against this mess but they're not enforced? Who's running the show here?
(Rhetorical)
The ABA has a new team: the Akron Aviators….No sign of the uniforms yet
Here's a look, and from the waist down it isn't good.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMDPFCwXcAAOegn?format=jpg&name=large
Just say no to crotch writing. It's bad enough on practice shorts…but on game shorts? Get outta here.
Morris | October 24, 2017 at 9:23 am |
Sorry, as someone who lives in the Eastern Time Zone I have no sympathy. At least West Coasters get to see the ending of the games. I'm up at 4:00 AM to go to work.
HalKinnegan | October 24, 2017 at 9:28 am |
I know the Lakers are originally from Minneapolis, but isn't it kinda weird that they'd wear MPLS in Los Angeles when there is currently another team in Minneapolis (wolves)?
I remember the Wizards wearing Chicago Zephyrs jersey several years ago, for example, but they didn't wear "Chicago" on their chest. As a wizards fan I think that'd be a little odd rooting for my team had they worn a competing city's name on their chest.
One last thing, why do you count the Lakers yellow jersey as white? I assume it's because they've historically worn that at home, but it seems a little silly to do so since, well, it's not white…
why do you count the Lakers yellow jersey as white?
Because it fits the model of a team wearing its standard (or formerly standard) home uniform at home.
I acknowledge that it's a judgment call, and I went back and forth on the best way to approach it. There's really no ideal solution. Whaddaya gonna do.
Josh Hinton | October 24, 2017 at 10:24 am |
WOuld you consider a lighter grey white? Just hypothetical question but curious. What about a lighter blue? Like the MPLS-shade?

Case-by-base basis.
Let's review the whole point of this exercise. Why are we compiling this data? Because we (or at least I) want to see if the NBA's elimination of home and road uniform designations is having much of an impact on the uniforms that the teams choose to wear.
If the Lakers wear yellow at home, that's the same thing as any other team wearing white at home. If they stick with that this season, it means the new uni system is not having an effect on their uni choices. We never considered a Lakers-in-yellow home game to be a color-on-color game in the past (we just considered it the normal look for a Lakers home game), so I see no reason to start treating it as such this season.
Josh Hinton | October 24, 2017 at 12:36 pm |
Ok, I personally had always considered it color but I understand your point

> I think that'd be a little odd rooting for my team had they worn a competing city's name on their chest
Reminds me of several years ago when the Braves wore Boston throwbacks against the Red Sox. That was pretty weird.
Regarding the Lakers wearing Minneapolis on their chest when there currently is a different team in Minneapolis…
I've always thought it would be funny if the Arizona Coyotes wore old Winnipeg Jets throwbacks in a game against the current Jets. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be allowed since the current Jets have all the legal rights to the name, but it would be entertaining in a confusing sort of way.

I love the Astros' rainbow jerseys but the new versions of them seem to be proportioned all wrong, with the rainbow too far down the player's stomach. This pulls the number on the back downward and puts the NOB right in the middle of the guy's back; it looks totally bizarre. The players have to pull their shirts out a bit so that the numbers don't get stuffed in their pants.
The first time they made these throwbacks, they also seem to have proportioned it wrong but in a different way: the rainbow was still too far down, but the numbers were sliced in half by it, with the NOB again getting a vast expanse of space to sit in the middle of.
On the 1970s originals, the rainbow extended up to the player's armpits and connected to the sleeves. In the early years they even made a circle for the number, that bumps out of the rainbow area. Why are none of the throwbacks reflecting these important points that make the uniform so great?
PaulS | October 24, 2017 at 2:10 pm |
The circle thing has been addressed here before: I believe it was just a one year thing for the Astros. Otherwise, agree, the numbers are just too far down the jersey, because the colors are too low to begin with.

I wish that games 1 & 3 of the World Series started no later than 4:30 eastern and were streamed for free. That would do great things to increase interest. People would watch at work, kids home from school could actually the beginning of it.
Also, the "Los Angeles" script Dodgers roadies are beautiful and should be worn 81 times annually.
Adam N. | October 24, 2017 at 1:42 pm |
A 4:30 eastern start would kill interest and ratings. Perhaps people in the competing markets would stream it at work, but most of us wouldn't be allowed. Which says nothing for the people who logistically can't do it (factories, construction, outside jobs, etc.) regardless of market.
I think a 4:00 or 430 Pacific start time would work the best. It's not unreasonably early for the western time zones, and the eastern time zone should still be done watching by midnight.
Ricky Deemer | October 24, 2017 at 9:39 am |
has anyone mentioned the HUGE apple / football logo that was on Jimbo Fisher's sleeve this weekend? Looks like a patch but it also looks like it is stiff and very rigid, so much so that it was sticking out on the ends. A search for Jimbo Fisher and Louisville will find it.

WS Time:
I prefer listening on the radio and it would make for a great commute in LA traffic. I play fantasy and have the MLB radio app to listen around the league. I love spending summer evenings in my garage taking in the different announcer teams, culture and local advertisements.
I think it sucks more for the East Coast that games end so late.
The only downside would be missing the visuals of the first game festivities.
Steve | October 24, 2017 at 10:05 am |
As a Chicagoan, I had to look up to see if there was actually a Kodak Park in the city. Nope. But I found this image that shows them in a satin uniform: http://www.frontierfield.org/walkoffame/photos/40kodakchamps.jpg
Cole | October 24, 2017 at 10:34 am |
Moved to the West Coast in June, after nearly 4 decades on East Coast. Gotta say, my favorite thing (other than the beach nearly out my front door) is the early start times for "important" games, whatever they are – playoff baseball, Saturday football, whatever.
I hated having games end hours after I needed to be in bed.
Now, if I'm not planning to be home right at 5, I can always DVR and then catch up before the end of the game bc half of them are just an elaborate excuse to play commercials anyway.
Thomas | October 24, 2017 at 10:34 am |
I don't quite understand the obsession of college football teams with wearing all white.
A white jersey worn with white pants is possibly the single most common uniform combination in the history of football.
ocbee | October 24, 2017 at 10:41 am |
I'm used to having the WS games start at 5 PM (Pacific), living on the Best Coast my entire life, knowing that the East Coasters will be snug in their beds by the 8th or 9th Inning. Usually, I record the pre-game for Game 1 and play catch-up when I get home. (Easier now with DVRs instead of videotape.)
As an aside, I was in the car driving to my home here in SoCal for Game 3 of the 1989 WS when the Loma Pierta Earthquake struck the Bay Area and feeling the quake a few seconds later.

"pitcher Harold "Shifty" Gears on the MOUND": in softball? (I know, that's what it says in the photo caption.)
Those WERE the good old days, when the world championship was contested by teams from the U.S. (and one from Toronto),and played directly on the grass at Soldier Field, as it appears on the first link.
Greg Brown | October 24, 2017 at 12:07 pm |
Yes in my book.
My thought looking at the tOSU jerseys is that if the numbers were outlined in white they would really pop.
Mark in Shiga | October 24, 2017 at 4:59 pm |
Check out that "scf" ("short center field", I suppose) in the softball box score!
brendan | October 25, 2017 at 2:12 am |
In the original team photo, looks like the player in the middle row, fourth from left was just a bit too small for the standard lettering. He got the only (visible at least) white A in KODAK. Light hitting shortstop perhaps?

Re: Korea women's national team jerseys, I came across the name order issue in a previous job working with many Asian people and decided to eschew the first name/last name conventions of the West and used 'family name' and 'given name' when talking with them.
So it wouldn't be 'last name first, first name last' (I'm sure this sentence structure has some kind of special name), but rather 'family name first, given name last'.
I began saying it that way after living in Japan where the family name comes first.
Some day I'll move to Iceland, where people generally don't have surnames but rather patronymics, so perhaps "surname" is the best choice.
Mike Ortman | October 24, 2017 at 11:38 am |
How do we handle west coast start times? If it's your team, like the Padres of the late nineties, you leave work early! Who cares?! Everyone else is also! If it's not my team, then I listen to the first hour or so on the radio and then catch the last 2-3 hours at home. The games are so long it doesn't matter.
It's interesting to see how many people say, "You just leave work early!"
Not everyone has such a flexible work schedule. But I suppose the people don't have the luxury of leaving work early are the same ones who don't have the luxury of commenting on blog during the workday.
With the streaming options these days, not being at home doesn't necessarily mean missing the game, especially at the office or on public transportation.
Still, I wish I lived on the west coast so I could be awake for the end of east coast sporting events.
KT | October 24, 2017 at 11:44 am |
Pacific Time person here. My teams are all Eastern Time-based, so I am used to streaming the beginnings of games at work before going home to catch the rest.
For the World Series, I will likely listen in the car on the way home and watch the rest there. I am amazed they are 8:09 ET starts, though. Feels like usually it's 8:39 or something.
But, yeah, football at 10am (before the time change, 11am after that for us in Arizona) is really good.
Judy A | October 24, 2017 at 12:34 pm |
Grew up on the East Coast but now live in LA. I don't like missing the beginning of games, but as others have said, I'd rather miss the beginning and have the game over by 8:30 than have it start at 8:30 and have to either stay up until midnight or miss the end. I hated the 10am football start when I first moved here, but now I'm a convert.
I also work in a business where there's a TV in every office and another in the common room/kitchen, so I have no doubt that I'll see way more of this Series than I have any interest in. LA is going to be insufferable for the next week, and even worse if, God forbid, the Dodgers actually win.

"The concourse of Colorado State's stadium includes a labeled mural of the mountains surrounding the campus."
As a point of clarification/correction, the mural is of Colorado's "Fourtneeners" (mountain peaks above 14,000 feet in elevation), not the mountains surrounding the campus. The CSU campus is on the western edge of the Great Plains, near the Rocky Mountain foothills, but there really aren't any mountains surrounding it. In fact, most of the Fourteeners depicted in the mural are quite some distance from Fort Collins.
That said, Colorado has 53 of the 96 Fourteeners in the United States, by far the most of any state. As such, they are an important point of cultural identity and state pride, especially among outdoor enthusiasts (of which Fort Collins has many). The significance of Fourteeners is so ingrained in the mindset of Coloradans that the local NBA D-League team was named the "Colorado 14ers."
This Forbes article has a nice description of the various features and amenities of CSU's new stadium, including a nod to the Fourteeners mural on page 2.

Mountain time guy here.
I LOVE that the games end at a reasonable time.
As four-hour playoff games become the norm, I like that games are over by 10 p.m.
I don't know how you east-coasters do it, stay up till midnight or later and then get up for work the next day.
Tom | October 24, 2017 at 1:07 pm |
Boo hoo to the West Coasters getting a 5 pm start time.
Every year the NHL staggers playoff games so that a Western Conference game with two midwest teams thatstarts at 8:30 Central Time midweek. I understand they want to get an Eastern Conference game in, but damn, they sing the anthem and then the kids fall asleep. It's almost midnight before the game ends or we get the awful "Do I commit my whole week to overtime hockey that may last 1 minute or may last 3 more hours?" conundrum.
I'd much rather listen to the start of the game on the radio and catch the remainder with dinner than have to stay up late.
Also: I miss the occasional daytime World Series game. They still had them in the 80's.
mike 2 | October 24, 2017 at 5:32 pm |
The last day game in the World Series was in Minneapolis in 1987. So that doesn't count.
The last outdoor day game in the World Series was game 5 (the clinching game) in Detroit in 1984.

I'm a purist for Ohio State and am always leery of their one-off looks, especially an all mono look. But is it technically gray for gray's sake if one of the team's actual colors is gray?
Greg Riff | October 24, 2017 at 1:28 pm |

I noticed that no one else has broached the subject, but the Bagwell jersey in Collector's Corner: Bagwell's name is arched on a nameplate, but the photos in the Henderson guide show horizontal lettering. Something to wonder about, considering the $2K the guy is selling it for.

As far as west coast games starting at odd times, I can't speak for Pacific time zone people, but I'm a Rangers fan in North Texas and sometimes when they play the Yankees or Red Sox,they start the games at 6pm here. Complete and total bs.Baseball should start at 7pm at the home park.
But like another poster said, I'd rather miss the first few innings than the end.
Bryan | October 24, 2017 at 5:33 pm |
Try living in Hawaii where WS games start at 2 and NFL starts at 7AM!
Central time zone here, where it's just right. Games start at 7:00, when I'm home from work and eating supper, and they finish around 10:00 before I have to wash dishes and go to bed.

World's oldest survivor of Auschwitz death camp dies at the age of 108
WARSAW, Poland – The oldest known survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp — a teacher who gave lessons in defiance of his native Poland's Nazi occupiers — has died at the age of 108, an official said Monday.
Antoni Dobrowolski died Sunday in the northwestern Polish town of Debno, according to Jaroslaw Mensfelt, a spokesman at the Auschwitz-Birkenau state museum.
After invading Poland in 1939, sparking World War II, the Germans banned anything beyond four years of elementary education in a bid to crush Polish culture and the country's intelligentsia. The Germans considered the Poles inferior beings, and the education policy was part of a plan to use Poles as a "slave race."
An underground effort by Poles to continue to teach children immediately emerged, with those caught punished by being sent to concentration camps or prisons. Dobrowolski was among the Poles engaged in the underground effort, and he was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Auschwitz in June 1942.
"Auschwitz was worse than Dante's hell," he recalled in a video made when he was 103.
Dobrowolski, who was born Oct. 8, 1904 in Wolborz, Poland, was later moved to the concentration camps of Gross-Rosen and Sachsenhausen, according to the Auschwitz memorial museum in southern Poland.
After the war, he moved to Debno, where he worked as a Polish-language teacher and as principal at an elementary school and later at a high school for many years.
He will be buried in Debno on Wednesday.
At least 1.1 million people were killed by the Germans at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Most of the victims were Jews, but many non-Jewish Poles, Roma and others were also killed there.

(593) DISCIPLINING LAWYERS: BILL PASSES STAGE 1
November 5, 2005 hmacqueen Uncategorized
The Scottish Parliament approved the general principles of the Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Bill in a Stage 1 debate on 7 September 2006. The main features of the Bill are: (1) creation of a new independent Scottish Legal Complaints Commission to handle complaints of poor service against lawyers, empowered to make compensation orders of up to £20,000 (this would replace the Scottish Legal Services Ombudsman); and (2) enabling the Scottish Legal Aid Board to fund non-lawyer specialist advisers. The Law society of Scotland, which will retain a disciplinary function in relation to complaints of professional misconduct, and the Faculty of Advocates have been vocal in their concerns about the independence of the new Complaints Commission, and the Scottish Executive has said it will move to meet some of these concerns by seeking amendments to the Bill in the later stages of its Parliamentary progress. While appointments to the Commission will be in the hands of Scottish Ministers, the process will be subject to oversight by the Scottish Commissioner for Public Appointments, while the Lord President will have a role in the removal of Commission members. The Commission's membership will have a majority of non-lawyers. For the text of the Bill at the end of the Stage 1 process, see http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/bills/56-legalProfession/index.htm.

Hogenberg, Franz (1535 - 1590)
Franz Hogenberg (1535 - 1590), often called 'Master Franz,' was a Flemish engraver active in the late 16th century. Hogenberg was born in Mechelen, the son of Nicolas Hogenberg, where he trained under the cartographer H. Terbruggen. He later relocated to Antwerp where he achieved success as an engraver, working with Abraham Ortelius, Hieronymus Cock, and others. In 1568, his name appeared on the list of those banned from the Netherlands by the Duke of Alva, forcing his family to flee to London. There he engraved for Christopher Saxon's Atlas of England and Wales. By 1570 he emigrated to Germany settling in Cologne. In Cologne he married his second wife, Agnes Lomar, with whom he had six children. In 1579 the couple were briefly imprisoned for holding illicit secret religious meetings, but were released in short order. Along with German cleric George Braun (1541 – March 10, 1622), Hogenberg issued the highly influential city atlas Civitates Orbis Terrarum. The six volume work, with some 546 views, was published between 1572 and 1617 and intended a companion to Abraham Ortelius' Thatrum Orbis Terrarum - thus certain obvious stylistic similarities. In compiling the Civitates Hogenberg took on the role of engraver while most of the editing was left to Georg Braun. Hogenberg died in Cologne, Germany, before the Civitates was completed. After his death, Hogenberg's work was continued by his son, Abraham Hogenberg, who, under the direction of Agnes, his mother, took over his father's enterprise at just 20.

What the heck is a heritage breed, anyway, and why should we all care? What started out as a simple question at a livestock fair inspired filmmakers Rick and Elara Bowman to search for answers across North America, from those who actually do the work and the experts that back it up with science. With interviews from agriculturalists, scientists and personalities to find out more about Heritage Breed livestock, this film explores why diversity is important in today's agricultural model that's based on large volume, fast growth, and the cheapest product possible for the consumer, but little else. Heritage breed animals have things to offer that we won't know we need until we need them, like pest and disease resistance, fertility, and tolerance to climate extremes. These are just a few of the characteristics these breeds carry which might be important traits for the future of agriculture across the planet... and we're losing these critical genetics to extinction. In the words of Dr. Temple Grandin, "It's important to save [unique breeds of animals], because if you lose those genetics, you've lost it." How do we balance the need to produce food for a hungry planet, vs. The need for biodiversity in our one-track production model? That's The Holstein Dilemma

Ahhhh the joys of metal baskets...they can be used for so many things.
this roomy metal basket that I've had in my garage for the last few years.
adding burlap ribbon and some sort of number or tag.
so anytime the plants are made more difficult to access...the better.
is one of my very favorites for Spring.
I decided I wanted it to be WHITE!
but I love it's fresh coat of paint!
I DO like it better!
as I saw it on a recent shopping visit at Inspirational Home.
it's a fun way to dress them up just a little.
Love everything about everything! How do you keep the burlap from fraying?
It does look better white, Debra. I love adding embellishments to baskets too. Love your beautiful spring quilt too.
Oh I love it all so pretty ! Great photos and ideas ! Have a good day !
Debra I love this idea. I do have a couple of wire baskets I can embellish this way! You are a gem!
The photographs are outstanding! The wire basket is beautiful painted white; and the quilt...stunning!
Love it! Have a blessed day my friend, HUGS!
I love it Debra! I am such a sucker for metal and burlap. The coat of white paint gives such a fresh look. Love it!!
I love it Debra. Everything look better after you have touched it. I featured it on my FB page. Grab a featured button if you like.
You made an ordinary basket into something really special! I'm inspired, and LOVE what you did!
love it in the white, but, then, i paint everything white:) i'll have to copycat this with my basket!
This is great! I love metal baskets and the burlap makes it even that much more special. Black or white? Both look great!
That wire basket is perfect out on your sun porch with plants in it! I love burlap ribbon tied on things. I have some tied around the metal mesh wastebasket in my powder room. You're right. It really adds just that little something extra that it needs. I like the added number tag on yours too.
Debra, your bakers rack is the most wonderful decorated rack.I am in awe of all the sweet things in it,and your basket painted white looks so lovely there with the spring plants inside-surely much better that black.
And so sweet is your quilt in the lovelist soft spring colours.
Such a beautiful spring display, dearest friend.
It is the bomb diggity white or not. I think Joe has some similar baskets out in the yard-what to do?
Your basket looks great.Love the burlap on it.I am actually working on a project similar.I too have a kitty and I need to watch any indoor plants or flowers.
I love it, Debra, and I love it even more in white! It looks like a very versatile basket, too.
What a perfect size wire basket!In black, the basket stood out...in white, the accessories stand out! Quite a transformation! Lovely wherever you place it!
Love the burlap idea. I may have to try that on one of mine. Everything looks so beautiful in your photos.
What a great way to dress up a little wire basket. I love it both black or white.
I like your basket in white and you have it dressed up so pretty! it looks fabulous on your baker's rack, which I love. Well, I love your whole sunroom! I recently found some chicken wire baskets that I am having fun with...never thought I'd tire of wicker but there is something so sweet about wire!
Although I've seen a version of this a few times, yours is the first one to keep plant eating kitties away! How wonderful your porch looks.
I like it both ways. Can't go wrong with a metal basket. I just posted about using a metal basket in my centerpiece. Fun stuff!
I have a few of these in my booth Debra...now I want to bring them home and copy you! Love it white!!
LOL - I had an old metal milk box in my garage for about 15 years and then one day it's as if I 'saw' it for the first time and thought, "Gee, I should do something with that." -- which I did. I love the basket white and LOVE your sun porch and how you have it decorated!
I absolutely, love your idea. So simple yet elegant.
Sun porch is fab! and I love the wire basket! I'm on the hunt for one too, hope to find it soon.
Great idea to add some softness to the metal basket with a burlap ribbon and tag! I loved how you surprised us mid-post with the paint transformation! Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my Jane Austen inspired window! I look forward to linking it up tomorrow for VIF!
Great Idea....pretty and it serves a purpose too...kitty deterance!
I love that basket too Debra. The touch of burlap is a great touch too with the tag. Lovely photos.
So cute, Debra! I loved it before it was painted and even more after. Very charming!
I think we are all in love with the nostalgia of a wire basket...makes me think of bicycles!!
Looks great Debra ~ I think I may have to lug my Bakers Rack downstairs to my sunroom now too!
What a great idea...even if you did copy it. I would too! I have a green bakers rack in the barn that used to be in my kitchen. I like yours painted white. Hmmm....the wheels are turning!
Your pics are awesome, you have inspired me to do a little painting too.
Very pretty! I like it better white, too! Good old spray paint!
Debra, I can honestly say I like your version better than the one you saw at the store. And I know what you mean about plant-eating kitties!
Really pretty Debra, I have some left over burlap, I may try this! Love yours!
Oh my, Debra! I am going to look for wire baskets to embellish with burlap! Yours turned out great and it looks fabulous on your baker's rack!
This looks so fantastic! I have looked at the burlap ribbon at Michaels a few times but now I will definitely keep it in mind for the next time I have a coupon without a purpose :) I don't care whose idea it was, I'm just glad I saw this tip!
Debra I love the fresh coat of white on your bakers rack. I have the cutest metal basket in my kitchen window that I fill with plants. Why wasn't I clever enough to come up with this idea? I have burlap all throughout, but it did not cross my mind. Thanks for sharing and I hope you don't care if I'm a copy cat. Thanks for showing it for Share Your Cup Thursday.
forgot to mention that I love your quilt.
I love your sun porch and all your wonderful collectibles. I think the basket looks better in white too!
Thanks for sharing this creative post on Simple & Sweet Fridays.
I forgot to tell you that you're the winner of the Mother's Day Gift Box on Rooted in Thyme! I sent you an e-mail to let you know. Congrats!
Perfect for Spring...that basket would look GREAT any color!!! Love it and especially love your burlap touches! Featuring you tomorrow!


With time running out for workers to settle with HMRC before the loan charge applies on 5 April 2019, LITRG is concerned that low-paid workers who received payments in the form of loans, while working for 'umbrella' companies, are being put off contacting HMRC to start the settlement process.
Those who want to try to understand their options need more than the very generic guidance or information about the settlement process that has been published by HMRC, says LITRG. LITRG is also concerned people may be reading content on social media that may discourage or stop them contacting HMRC.
To help deal with these problems, LITRG has released the latest in a series of articles designed to help low-paid workers affected by the loan charge understand what is happening and outline their options. This one looks specifically at the settlement process, in a bid to separate fact from fiction.
"The loan charge is causing a great deal of debate online and in Parliament. Naturally, strong feelings about the loan charge are voiced by some of those affected and we may well see some legal challenges against the loan charge in the future. Although a legal challenge to the loan charge will not stop HMRC from seeking to settle any avoidance disputes, this is likely to leave those affected confused as to what they should do next.
"We would encourage all workers potentially affected to read our latest news piece and, if they are considering settling, to contact HMRC without delay. There are a number of options open to HMRC in coming to a settlement sum and in arranging repayment of any money due However, any settlement contract will only be binding once signed by the person. They can walk away from discussions at any point before then, meaning they are not really disadvantaged by at least talking to HMRC.
LITRG has become aware that some loan providers appear to be offering workers the chance to repay the loans to avoid the loan charge or to pay a 'release fee' to cancel the loan. This is adding another layer of confusion for those involved; either of these may have adverse tax consequences, warns LITRG.
"Repaying the loan means workers will need to find the funds to pay the full amount back, although we understand that there may then be some kind of redistribution made to the worker. We are also aware of people receiving offers to have the loan cancelled for a 'release fee', which could be a fixed amount plus a percentage of the loan.
"It is not clear to us that either of these options leave workers any better off. We would also urge workers to be extremely cautious about doing either of these things without fully understanding whether there are any further tax consequences and what it might mean with regards to the loan charge."

With over 37 years of experience in the field, Alex Lukacs has devoted his entire career to the synthesis, modification, and application of polysilazane polymers. With an extensive academic and experiential background in both chemistry and chemical engineering, he spearheaded the commercialization of many of those polymers through the design and construction of commercial polysilazane plants -- both in India and on the East Coast of the United States. Alex is recognized world-wide as an expert in polysilazane chemistry, and inspired much of the initial work into the development and application of this new family of inorganic polymers through his groundbreaking work in the 1980's and 1990's.
Polymers such as Ceraset Polyureasilazane, KiON HTT1800, KiON HTA1500, and their Durazane analogues, such as Durazane 1800 and Durazane 1500 were all developed under his inspiration and direction at various companies, including Hercules Inc., Lanxide Corp., Commodore Polymer Technologies, KiON, KiON Defense Technologies (KDT), and Clariant. Ceramic conversions of these pre-ceramic compositions were investigated and published in the areas of ceramic fiber, ceramic coatings, and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). Hybrid systems ranging from epoxy-polysilazane, urethane-polysilazane, and phenolic-polysilazane to silicone-polysilazane block co-polymers were also developed and patented under his direction.
While various polysilazane chemistries he developed are currently being utilized in a number of commercial applications, a wealth of undisclosed polysilazane chemistry developed over the many decades of his work in the field remains untapped. With a career goal of bringing polysilazane chemistry to its full market potential, Alex is committed to the development of novel, game-changing products through the application of various technologies across a wide range of markets, including automotive, energy, architectural, and aerospace.

A figure who took over the rotating Real Madrid bench in November presumably as a place-holder for Mauricio Pochettino until the summer is now staking a claim on the role on a permanent basis.
That's certainly the buzz in the Spanish capital on Monday as the news of Real Madrid's comprehensive 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in El Derbi still sinks in.
It's all very Coach Zizou flashback, when a manager with limited experience managed to win a huge amount of trophies before realizing the only way was down and going on a very long vacation.
Over the past ten days, Solari has put Real Madrid in the driving position against Barca in the Copa del Rey with a draw at the Camp Nou, and clawed back the deficit to the same club at the top of the La Liga standings to just six points.
Challenge three in Solari's gauntlet of sport is coming up with Wednesday's Champions League tie against Ajax. This Real Madrid turnaround - and Barcelona's wobbles - will be one of the big talking points of the Locker Room with Kay Murray and the gang at 7:30PM ET / 4:30PM PT.
But all that is looking waaaaaaay ahead to Wednesday's Champions League action.
Tuesday is still to come with the stand-out tie of the round - Manchester United taking on PSG. A flakey, down in the dumps club facing one of the glamor teams of the world.
That was the situation less than two months ago before Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer took over from Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford and PSG took a dip in form with Neymar out of action. Now the tables are turned a little.
United's Norwegian knight can even a-fjord a slip-up in the Champions League after ten wins from eleven seems to have handed the former player the United job on a permanent basis, although an announcement from the club's bosses on this topic may not come until the end of the season.
Solsjkaer will be speaking later today, as will PSG boss Thomas Tuchel who will discussing the chances of Edinson Cavani playing in the game after picking up a hip injury at the weekend.
The Portuguese Premier League enclave of Wolverhampton Wanderers is in action on Monday in the final match of the weekend in England.
The club led by Nuno Espirito Santo and an awful lot of his Portugal countryman has been the mighty minnow of the EPL season and currently sits in seventh spot.
Newcastle United are the visitors to the English West Midlands in a game that could see a debut for newly-arrived, Paraguayan poacher Miguel Almiron.
Alaves, the once mighty minnows of La Liga - and now flagging after three defeats in a row - is in action today in Spain with a home clash against Levante. That game is live on beIN SPORTS at 3PM / 12PM PT.
The XTRA with Kevin Egan is the place to be to catch all the best action from the day on beIN SPORTS at 7PM ET / 4PM PT.
It has been a whole 11 days or so without Barcelona being involved in signing a player. But the rumor mill is back up again with the German press claiming that the Camp Nou campaigners will be making a summer move for Serbian and Eintracht Frankfurt striker, Luka Jovic.
Jovic has scored 14 goals this season in the Bundesliga and is currently on loan from Benfica, just to make matters muddier.
While that deal looks doable, a more outlandish rumor has sprung up with Juventus set to launch a massive bid for Mohamed Salah from Liverpool for $200 million, as a replacement for the misfit Paulo Dybala.
Our Sports Burst team will be all over that and every other story on Monday in our live show at 12PM ET / 9AM PT. Just head to the beIN SPORTS USA Facebook page, or watch back at your leisure.
