The Navy expects to complete a deal shortly with a utility to build a solar farm on 50 acres at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Fla. The project is estimated to generate 5 megawatts of electricity that would be delivered to the commercial grid, reported WOKV. An environmental assessment determined the project would not have a significant impact."The solar project would benefit both the local community and the Navy, bringing renewable energy to the area and energy security with it being on Navy property," Sue Brink, a spokeswoman for Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast, told the radio station.The secretary of the Navy set a goal for the service's shore-based operations to acquire one-half of their electricity needs from renewable sources by 2020. After surpassing the secretary's goal of bringing one gigawatt of renewable energy into procurement by the end of 2015, the Navy now is exploring the latest advances such as battery storage, electrification, fuel cells and microgrids to further enhance its energy security, operational capability, strategic flexibility and resource availability.

Months after amazing songstress,Omawunmi released her stunning new single which she titled Bottom Belle where she duet current wave making Afro centric act Flavour,the story reaching us has it that once upon a time popular Ajegunle act,called Xperience Oligbese now based in Edo State capital Benin City,has threatened to drag the song diva Omawunmi to law court for what he termed copyright breach.
The handsome seven footer,popularly known for his trademark Oligbese for sale told us that Omawunmi lifted some lines from his song he titled Do Something which is contained in the album he titled Givam Chance,released sometime in early 2004 and was produced by Nelson Brown for Progressive Sound Park a Lagos based Recording company.
The Delta State born Dancehall act said before Omawunmi recorded her song we have met several times at shows,where I performed my songs in her presence and the only thing she told me was that she loves my style of song,but she never told me that she was planning to lift some lines from my song titled "Do Something" until in February this year when the label owner that released my album called me to ask why I allowed Omawunmi to lift some lines from my song without permission or credit to me and I was surprised.
Even till last week I have been trying to call her but she refused to pick my calls.
Oligbese further lamented that the line lifted was his brain child where he sings brother do something,Kpamurege,sister so something kpamurege
On what he was planning to do next the singer said that he had since consulted his legal advisers who are now preparing to sue Omawunmi and her Recording company for copyright infringement.
Oligbese further told us that he is seeking for N50million as compensation for tampering with his intellectual property rights.
Meanwhile we gathered that a Lagos based fire spitting lawyer who was for years a Deputy head of chambers in the late Gani Fawehinmi law firm is the one handling the case.

Colin Vearncombe aka Black, who died tragically in January 2016 after a car accident, may be best known to a casual music listener for his massive hits 'Wonderful Life' and 'Sweetest Smile'. Not so his passionate fans across the world, who recognise him as one of Europe's finest singer-songwriters. Over the years, he spent long periods both writing and touring – sometimes with a band, sometimes solo – but always with a passion for words and communicating with his audiences. He released more than 15 studio and live albums and the 'Wonderful Life' album was re-released in 2013 as a special collector's edition with extended sleeve notes.
In 2015 he released what was to be his final album. 'Blind Faith' was recorded with the help of funding through Pledge Music, through which fans were able to get a glimpse into the writing and recording process. The campaign was hugely successful, reaching well over 200% of its original target. The fans' faith was rewarded, with the album garnering some of the best reviews of Vearncombe's career.
In recent years he developed his skills as both a poet and a water-colour artist. In 2012 he published his first book of poetry, illustrated entirely with his own art, and in 2013 some of these poems and paintings appeared in a beautiful collectors' double vinyl edition of his album 'Any Colour You Like'.
Although it's 25 years since 'Wonderful Life' stormed the charts, it still regularly appears on 'all time favourite songs' lists. Some of the stories and memories that people the world over have of this song have been collected at http://wonderful-life-stories.tumblr.com/ – please feel free to share your own personal memory.
In one of his later interviews, Colin said: "I'm happier than I've been in a long time. Does that makes me more or less successful than before?". We think we know the answer to that.

The cover of harpist Joanna Newsom's exhaustingly dense new album, Ys, is an exquisitely detailed allegorical painting in egg tempera that stylistically resembles Kit Williams' 1980 storybook-puzzle Masquerade. Williams had buried a jewel-studded 18-carat gold hare somewhere in the English countryside, and a careful reader could piece together clues that Williams embedded in the text and illustrations to decipher the location of the treasure. Masquerade's cryptic plot involved the moon's ill-fated attempt to send a lovelorn message to the sun, but the book's end offered no resolution, leaving the reader bewildered and, in many cases, frustrated.
As far as we know, Joanna Newsom has not concealed gems and gold in a Northern California stand of live oaks, though the knackering complexities of Ys won't convince listeners otherwise. The singer-songwriter charmed fans with her 2004 debut The Milk-Eyed Mender, a collection of intimate, idiosyncratic songs, most of them featuring nothing but Newsom's harp and youthful, occasionally squeaky vocals. Her sometimes arcane vocabulary (Newsom could moonlight as an SAT tutor) had listeners reaching for their dictionaries, but no printed guide exists that could crack the code of the sprawling Ys.
For her second album, Newsom has returned with not only a harp, but an orchestral arrangement by Van Dyke Parks. Ys (pronounced "ees"), at 55 minutes and 42 seconds, is five songs long. Five chorus-free, labyrinthine songs long; you'd need a TelePrompTer to sing along.
When Newsom played at New York's Webster Hall early this November, she first played a solo set, singing tender little songs from The Milk-Eyed Mender to a beguiled crowd, her massive harp resting on her slender shoulder. So thick was the air with crushes on this inimitable girl that the audience was soon drunk with it; smitten myself, I wept for all the small things in the world that get lost and left behind. And I felt like a dork and got embarrassed, though everyone else there was a dork, too.
Sentimental weeping ceased when Newsom's band came out to accompany her in playing Ys straight through. Live, Newsom's harp and voice were more forceful than the swells of the recording; she pushed the many, many words of Ys out of her body with a feverish intensity, and plucked her harp with a striking physicality for someone sitting down and hardly moving her upper body, save her restless arms and fingers. Having not heard the album yet, I tried to follow the lyrics--she sang about a meteor, then a bear, then a bell dropped off a dock, then she missed someone's precious heart. She lost me somewhere after the meteor.
Instead, I exulted in the energy spilling from the stage. Newsom was Arachne, her harp a loom on which she wove mad, enchanted tapestry, whose words and images bled together. She and the band finished to waves of applause while I stood rubbing my sore feet. The show I attended was an early one; in a few hours, Newsom and the band would perform the whole thing all over again, which overwhelmed me. All I had done was to stand there, and I was exhausted after one round.
Many reviews of Ys stress the length of the songs, although tracks that reach beyond 10 minutes are nothing new--free jazz, Grateful Dead or "Trapped in the Closet," anyone? What is notable about Ys' mini-epics are how precisely thought-out and deliberate is each word and note. There are few purely instrumental passages, no lapses into mind-blowing jams or sprees of proggy arpeggios.
All of which makes Ys impressive. But is it good? The timeless, precocious modesty of The Milk-Eyed Mender eclipses Ys in emotional impact, if not scope. Parks' orchestration on Ys dilutes the arresting purity of Newsom's delivery, even though the moments when she's not singing are rare.
Yet Ys refuses to be left alone. The queenly image of Newsom on its cover steadily and quietly confronts the viewer, daring almost coyly: Go ahead, try and figure what the hell all of this is about. The quest is bound to fail, but the voyage will be rewarding.
Eventually, two men did locate the golden hare jewel of Masquerade. They had cheated, communicating with a former girlfriend of Kit Williams for clues. And while it was possible to find the treasure purely though the information in the book, it seems fitting that no one managed to do so in time. A real-life treasure hunt simply blurs the edges of fantasy and truth too much. The lost treasure of Ys is a talisman that makes sense of the whole project, and that talisman lies, inaccessible, in Joanna Newsom's head.

The debate of barefoot running and flat feet has two sides: on one hand, there is the case that an insufficient arch does not allow enough support (or "bounce") to support a barefoot runner. On the other side of the coin is the argument that running barefoot actually strengthens the arch and creates a higher arch. Let's dig into each of these sides a little deeper.Credit: footcarexpress.com
The Case FOR Running Barefoot and Flat Feet
While there may not be an official position on this issue from the scientific or medical community, there are plenty of positive anecdotal accounts from barefoot running enthusiasts who are flat footed. In fact, there is a good discussion on this topic at the Runners World website where you can read some of these accounts. It is known that running barefoot promotes a running style that relies on a forefoot strike as opposed to a heel strike, which is typical when running with shoes.
As a result, a different set of muscles are emphasized with each stride, especially the small muscles in the middle of the foot and the calves. So, if these small muscles around the arch are strengthened, the middle of the foot will naturally tighten and flex inward as it grows stronger. The foot actually adapts its shape over time to support this more natural running gait--at least that's the theory. There are even stories of people who have dropped a shoe size because of this phenomenon.
The Case AGAINST Running Barefoot and Flat Feet
Others warn that flat footed people should not run without shoes (or at least consult a physician first[533]) because they lack the cushion in the mid-foot to absorb a forefoot strike--remember that barefoot runners use a different running style in which they land on the forefoot.
If you have flat feet and are thinking about barefoot running, it is advisable to consult your physician and/or take a gradual approach to see how it goes. Perhaps you can start by walking barefoot, then jogging short distances. You may find that your arch grows and strengthens with this activity and then you'll be ready for barefoot running.

Yesterday's post ended
"How could one have missed the black Pope playing politics in such a blatant fashion?That short order is up- today!
The Ottoman empire and Genocide
The black Pope Francis mentions the role of the Turks, but, fails to mention the active participation of the Kurds in the genocide of both the Armenians and Assyrians
Why do we not speak of the Kurdish role in both those genocides?
Is it because it runs against the grain of the perception management when it comes to the 'heroic Kurd' meme?
Heads Up!- I will be speaking of that bit of history in short order"
NYT's 1915- 500,000 Armenians Said To Have Perished. Washington Asked to Stop Slaughter of Christians by Turks and Kurds.Do pay attention to the types of Armenian Christians that were targeted and those that were not!
"The records of the State Department are replete with detailed reports from American Consular officers in Asia Minor, which give harrowing tales of the treatment of the Armenian Christians by the Turks and the Kurds. These reports have not been made public. They indicate that the Turk has undertaken a war of extermination on Armenians, especially those of the Gregorian Church, to which about 90 per cent of the Armenians belong"
"Turkish authorities drove the Gregorian Armenians out of their homes, ordered them to proceed to distant towns in the direction of Bagdad, which could only be reached by crossing long stretches of desert. During the exodus of Armenians across the deserts they have been fallen upon by Kurds and slaughtered, but some of the Armenian women and girls, in considerable numbers, have been carried off into captivity by the Kurds"
The Turkish Government originally ordered the deportation of all Armenians, but, some time ago, after representations had been made by Ambassador Morgenthau, the Ottoman Government gave assurances that the order would be modified so as not to embrace Catholic and Protestant Armenians
The reports that have been sent to the State Department by its agents in Asia Minor fully confirm these statements made in the appeal sent to this country by Viscount Bryce, formerly British Ambassador to the United States, to try stop the slaughter of the Armenians. Viscount Bryce stated that the horrors through which the Armenians have passed have been unparalleled in modern times.So, when we discuss righting historical wrongs, I have to ask, what about this historical wrong?
The Assyrians: A People without Rights
In the twentieth century, Assyrians have suffered genocide, been pushed out of their ancestral lands, and are struggling for survival. The Assyrian nation today stands at a crossroad. One third of is in a diaspora, while the remaining two-thirds lives perilously in its native lands.
It cannot be denied that while the Iraqi people are undergoing a great deal of suffering, it is evident that Assyrians are being targeted more than others. They are being subjected to persecution, massacres and genocide in Nineveh and other Assyrian cities and villages since the beginning of the last century.
During World War I, for instance, Turks and Kurds massacred about two-thirds of the Assyrians living in the area. Next came the ethnic cleansing of 1933 at the hands of the Iraqi army and the Kurds. Later, in the 1960s & 1970s, the ethnic Assyrian community was targeted by a Kurdish campaign led by the Kurdish leader Mullah Mustafa, also known as "Mustafa Barzani", whose rebellion against the successive Iraqi governments resulted in the displacement of thousands of Assyrians.A people without rights, slaughtered by the Kurds. Where is their homeland?
Mustafa Barzani?
The Barzani name is a name from both the past and the present. How very interesting.
How coincidental can that be? Or not!
Masoud Barzani
On August 7 Assyrians worldwide celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Simmele massacre, including in Ankawa, within the Kurdish autonomous region in north Iraq. President Massoud Barzani of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) sent a letter of support to the Assyrians, but in his letter he indirectly made the Assyrians victims of the Simmele massacre martyrs in the "Kurdistan liberation movement."
Kurdish leaders, starting with Barzani, have asked the West to recognize Saddam's killing of Kurds in the Anfal campaign as a genocide. But the Kurds themselves have much blood on their hands because many Kurdish clans actively participated in the murder of Assyrians during the Turkish genocide in World War One, as well as other massacres perpetrated before and after 1915. Some Kurds have apologized for these acts (AINA 4-23-1995). Most recently, the Kurdish Federation in Germany issued an apology at the unveiling of the Assyrian genocide monument in in Belgium (AINA 8-5-2013).
Assyrian organizations have asked for official recognition of the Simmele massacre (AINA 8-8-2013) and an apology by KRG President Barzani, who represents the Kurdish nation in Iraq.
Barzani had never before made a statement on the subject but on August 7, 2013, when the Assyrians in Ankawa commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Simmele massacre, Barzani sent a letter, which also was published in the KRG's official website. But instead of apologizing for Kurdish participation in the 1915 genocide and Simmele massacre (which was led by the Kurdish General Bakr Sidqi), Barzani rubbed salt in the wound.
The letter, translated, is available for you to read at the link embedded in the name Massoud Barzani
Barzani whitewashes the Assyrian massacres to Kurdify the narrative:
"What does Barzani mean when he says "martyrs of the Kurdish liberation movement?" The Assyrian martyrs in Simmele were not part of the Kurdish liberation. They were massacred not because they were Kurds, but because they were Assyrians.
By making such a statement Barzani is pursuing a campaign to Kurdify the Assyrian question. The attentive reader may ask why Barzani is using Assyrian denominational names (Chaldean, Syriac) when referring to the Assyrian nation. The answer is that this is Barzani's attempt to categorize Assyrians as Christian Kurds or just Christian citizens of the KRG.
For years we have seen a clear pattern among Kurdish leaders and intellectuals of an aggressive Kurdification campaign in order to create a false Kurdish history. They make it easy for themselves by simply replacing the word "Mesopotamia" with "Kurdistan" and thus claiming that "Kurdistan is the cradle of civilization." We find this message on a sign on the road to the Assyrian antiquities in Khanas, constructed by the Assyrian King Sennachereb in the 7th century BC. Kurdish intellectuals also write articles with the same message. A few months ago a Kurdish student in Uppsala, Sweden, Necati Kanat, wrote a propaganda article of this sort on Newsmill, where he said, among other things, "...civilization arose in Mesopotamia (Kurdistan). Mathematics, arithmetic, penmanship, irrigation systems, the wheel et cetera, were originated as part of the development of civilization. It started with small villages along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in Kurdistan and moved to cities, cultures, kingdoms and empires."
Barzani's letter shows that not even our Assyrian martyrs escape Kurdish falsification of history. The offense is of course so much greater when the perpetrators of the massacres of Assyrians were often Kurds. Here are just a few examples:
- In 1843 and 1846 Kurdish clan leaders Bedr Khan Beg and Nurullah murdered tens of thousands Assyrians in Hakkari and Turabdin. They were the henchmen of the Turkish sultan. Bedr Khan Beg's cousin's sons, Izaddin Sher and Masur Beg, continued the killings of Assyrians in Tur Abdin in 1855.
- Sultan Abdulhamid's Hamidiye troops, who killed some 20,000 Assyrians and Armenians 1894-96 in the towns of Omid, Urhoy, were also Kurds.
- 20 years later, in 1915, various Kurdish clans actively engaged in the genocide of World War One, and many tribal leaders also became wealthy landowners after taking Assyrian lands by force. They also took captured Assyrian women and girls as wives"
There is ample information to support the claim that Barzanis are a Jewish tribe of Kurds. Though most Kurds are Sunni Muslim. Kurds either Jewish and/or Sunni Muslim have a history of killing Christians. Looking back through time we see much commonality, despite an illusion of divergent groups. And we realize how very little has really changed.
This hidden, unacknowledged history both clarifies and validates why it is I had detected a symbiotic relationship between the Kurds/ISIS and of course Israel. Though I connected the dots prior to having this background knowledge it has been clear for sometime now that the Kurds & ISIS are partners in crime. While every person involved may not be aware of these long term relationships, this history- the puppeteers and main players, surely are.
Just a few of the previous posts written on this topic:
Kurd/ ISIS Symbiosis- The impending destruction of Turkey.
Pt.2- Kurd/ ISIS Symbiosis- The impending destruction of Turkey
How Israel and the US love the Kurds. Let me count the ways....
Kurd/ISIS Symbiosis: Maliki has evidence of Kurdish collusion when Mosul fell
And finally- WizOz left a comment that should also be read, entirely
Is it because it runs against the grain of the perception management when it comes to the 'heroic Kurd' meme?
Penny, spot on like always.
But the 'heroic' Kurds were just recidivists:
(from WikiIslam):"The tools used by sultan Abdul Hamit were the Turkish army and the Turkish police, and the Kurdish people, who are Muslims. He equipped the Kurds with modern rifles and gave them the relevant military skills. Serpouhi Tavoukdijan writes in his book "Expatriate" that in return for their weapons their task was to murder Armenians. They were given the right to rape Armenian women free of penalty and took Armenian houses and shops belonging to the murdered.

As we have talked above, the mirror can beautify this room and then, it can give the large impression if your bathroom is totally narrow in such a way that the bathroom will appear extensive. Furthermore, it can be located in some parts of the bathroom and you must have the strong creativity in order that you can have the smart ideas about the bathroom design, especially providing the large mirror in the bathroom. For giving the extensive impression, you can set up the mirror above the sink and whether there is the devoid area of the bathroom, you can put the large mirror there.
Some ideas of the bathroom with the large mirror that you can utilize in the bathroom
Before you install the mirror which is meant to show the larger room, you must concern with some aspects that you have to observe in detail so that the position of the mirror will be suitable. You are obligated to recognize the weakness of your bathroom in such a way that you can cover up the bathroom's deficiency by installing or setting up the mirror in the wall of the bathroom. Then, to increase the beauty of the bathroom appearance, you can choose the mirrors which are completed with the cute frames and the elegant colors of the frames. Beside that, you must also select the best quality of the mirror materials because the mirrors which are set up in the bathroom will be durable and you can use those mirrors as long time as possible. You should select the qualified materials and usually the good quality of the materials is shown by the cost of the mirror.
Obviously, you can see some pictures that have been provided in the gallery below. Then, you can get the inspiration to enlarge the bathroom which is not really large by using the large mirror so that the bathroom looks large whereas this room is absolutely small. The following is some images which you can see and it can be your reference in designing the bathroom.
Recently, you obtain the information that you can use as reference in designing the right bathroom. One of the suggestion of the information in this article is by installing the large mirror in your bathroom.

Farmers are being urged tobe extra careful when working near overhead power lines this harvest followinga spate of incidents where they have been accidentally brought down.
The electricity distributor for central southernEngland, Southern Electric Power Distribution (SEPD), supported by the NFU, hasissued a safety plea after power lines were brought down on farms on six separateoccasions in recent weeks.
Large farm machinery and diggers reportedly broughtdown power lines and poles and, while thankfully there were no injuries, theseincidents could all have had fatal consequences, points out the company.
SEPD is urging farmers, and in particular those who usecontractors, to make them aware of live power lines on their land, and to takeprecautions so that their equipment does not come into contact with them. Theuse of agricultural machinery (such as combine harvesters, tipping trailers,boom sprayers and loaders) and equipment such as irrigation pipes and ladders,as well as activities like stacking, can often bring farmers and agriculturalcontractors close to such power lines, warns the business.
What many people forget is that electricity can jumpthrough the air, so it is crucial that anyone operating agricultural equipmentis aware of the optimum height they can operate their equipment at and alsowhere overhead lines are situated before they shift to the next field, warnsSEPDs head of operations, Craig Gilroy.

Former University of Kentucky football stars Winston Guy and Danny Trevathan are one step closer to realizing their dreams of playing in the National Football League as both players have been invited to and will take part in the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine. The event runs Feb. 22-28 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.
The NFL Scouting Combine is held each February and involves hundreds of the best college football players. The seven-day event consists of executives, coaches, scouts and doctors from all 32 NFL teams, who will conduct intense, four-day job interviews in preparation for the upcoming NFL Draft. On top of the interview process, each player will go through the following measurable drills: 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill and shuttle run.
Trevathan's combine started Friday, while Guy's will begin Saturday. A complete schedule for linebackers and defensive backs is listed below.
A native of Leesburg, Fla., Trevathan made 143 tackles during the 2011 season for the Wildcats, leading the Southeastern Conference in tackles for the second-consecutive season. Trevathan ranked sixth in the nation in tackles with an 11.92 average per game and led the nation's linebackers in fumbles forced (five), while ranking second among the nation's linebackers in interceptions with four. Trevathan finished the season with 11.5 tackles for loss, three quarterback sacks, five pass breakups and two quarterback hurries.
Trevathan ended his UK career ranked 10th all-time on Kentucky's career tackle list with a total of 374 stops. The All-American had a total of 20 games with double-figure tackles in his career, including a career-high 17 tackles in 2010 against Auburn, the eventual national champion, and also against Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Georgia.
Trevathan earned several postseason awards, including National Linebacker of the Year by the College Football Performance Awards. Trevathan was named first-team All-SEC by the Associated Press, Phil Steele College Football, Rivals.com and ESPN.com. He was also a second-team All-American by SI.com, third-team All-American by Rivals.com and fourth-team All-American by Phil Steele College Football.
Guy enters the combine after ranking second in the SEC last season with 120 stops. The native of Lexington, Ky., also ranked tied for 21st in the nation in tackles, averaging 10 per game. Guy had eight games of double-figure tackles during the 2011 season, including a high of 14 at South Carolina and against Tennessee. The senior was named National Defensive Back of the Week for the Western Kentucky game when he had 10 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and two interceptions. For his efforts, Guy was named a 2011 All-SEC second-team selection by Phil Steele College Football, Associated Press and league coaches.
Guy finished his career at Kentucky with 297 tackles after recording back-to-back seasons of 100 tackles or more the past two seasons.

Fox Sports Midwest asked me to be a part of the Cardinals pregame show when they visited Dodger Stadium last week… the following is an account of that day:
I get down on the field and meet the Cards TV fellas. Go down the right field line to film a short segment for the website and get interrupted by Manny Ramirez whistling and yelling across the field to me. He calls out for me to do "Ethier" and then Furcal yells for me to come to left field. I finishing the segment while trying to make sense of a world where I'm holding up a finger to tell Manny Ramirez to wait for me to finish something. Huh?
Sean, my buddy, who is the cameraman today, and I head over to left field and greet/shake hands with Manny, Furcal and some other Dodgers. Casey Blake, Juan Pierre, Manny, Furcal, etc lob out names. At one point I explain that Russell Martin is one of the few players that adjusts his crotch while in the box and that most leave the box to do it. I reference Teixeira who leaves the box to adjust himself, and Doug Meinkeivich questions what he's actually adjusting, oh boy. I get big laughs for the Juan Pierre strutting slidestep towards the box and Casey Blake's facial expression.
I go back over to Cards side to film the pregame show with Brendan Ryan and myself. We have a good time because he's a cool dude. Then we finish and several pitchers ask for me to entertain them. Ryan Franklin tells me he saw Letterman and the biggest laugh comes during the Ryan Ludwick imitation. Mind you, I've never been asked to do a Ryan Ludwick imitation, therefore, I have never attempted a Ryan Ludwick imitation. In fact, 10 times over the next 15 minutes, I get a Ludwick request, from Adam Wainwright, to Matt Holiday, Rick Ankiel, Julio Lugo, Mark DeRosa…everyone. The best request for Ludwick coming from….Ludwick. He takes the bat from me and does an imitation of himself. All on tape courtesy of my buddy Sean who is a die-hard Cards fan. So much so, he goes off script and asks Ludwick if he can take a picture with him. I'm thinking (Agghhh Sean?! What are you doing? I'm trying to be professional. Yikes- cameraman taking photos? Crap, how bout ask LaRussa for his scorecard or Pujols' cell phone number? Great Sean.) Oh well. Caleb, Jason, Scott & Steve are busy/working tonight., so Sean will do. More to come on this…
Have a good conversation with Colby Rasmus. I congratulate him for getting up to the big club. The Cards all laughed at my imitation of Rasmus hitting the walk-off HR from earlier in the week. The most organic connection I get is from Adam Wainwright. He asks me if I do pitchers. I tell him only when pitchers throw the 0-2 most filthy curve ever, then I react pumping my arms like Wainwright did as a rookie ending the 2006 NLCS. He immediately smiles and sticks out his clinched fist for a pound/knuckbump.
During BP I have a 15 minute conversation with Cards coach and Royals legend Hal McRae. He starts with, "You don't know who I am." To which I respond with, "With the Royals, by 1985 you were so hunched over I know you wore the number 11." He lights up and starts lobbing out names of old Royals. We talk about the state of the Royals, how he lived in the playoffs throughout his career, first with the 1970 Reds then with the Royals. He spoke off the cuff about the early Rays draftpicks like Elijah Dukes and Delmon Young. It was incredible. I can't believe I'm able to talk with these pillars of baseball. God bless every 26 year old All-Star but many times it's the 63 year old 1st base coach that I can't believe I'm meeting.
I'm meeting an entire team of All-Stars today and yet at one point I find myself eyeing a Cards asst coach and saying, "Wow, there's Mike Aldrete." There are Aldretes that don't remember the playing career of Mike Aldrete, but if I owned a baseball card of a player or saw him make a divingcatch on This Week in Baseball as a kid- WOW, then it's a big deal to see them.
At the end of Cards BP, I am having a conversation with an LATimes/SportsIlli video web content guy when Adam Wainwright taps me on the shoulder and says, "Hey nice to meet you." The next night he'll pitch a no-hitter into the 6th inning. We then get escorted into the pressbox where I learn fairly quickly, from the iconic organ lady, Nancy B Hefley, that you are not allowed to clap in the pressbox. Oops.
The day is a success, we come home exhausted. I drop the camera and tape off at Caleb's house who will then watch the segments and download the footage as he has every single other video we've shot.
The next day Caleb's house is broken into a robbed. All the videocameras, computers, ipods, even chargers. And yes, our videocamera and tape too….. Therefore, I arrive home and download my lone picture from the still camera….here it is, the only image still in our possession, from the day……….Sean and Ryan Ludwick.

The newest chair by Nordic Comfort Products (NCP) is a unique and sustainable twist on an old classic. Their R-48 model has furnished schools and offices since the 1960s, but has previously required virgin plastic and a metal base. Their recent addition, the S-1500, was designed by international design firm Snøhetta, and is constructed from nothing new. The marbled green chair is composed of 100% recycled plastic sourced from local fish farming companies' old fish nets, ropes, and pipes and a subframe made from recycled steel.
The design is a result of a two-year research project by Snøhetta to investigate plastic's journey through the supply chain and see how it might be repurposed as a building material once it has served its original purpose. Typically NCP uses plastic from China to create their furniture. Their new chairs will create a local, circular economy which puts to use the worn out tools of neighboring businesses while also cutting down on fossil emissions from shipping materials internationally. The chair will be showcased at the Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair from February 5 to 9, 2019. You can see other ways Snøhetta is putting their plastic research to use on their website and Instagram. (via Fast Company)

So this night they had some (announced) downtime over at Fastmail.FM, which I thought nothing of as I wouldn't be awake at 4 o'clock my time.
But this morning I was greeted to an announcement telling me the URL I was using for my Inbox was old and to please go through the Login screen again. OK, fine, whatever.
But aaah! Everything looks so different!
My two biggest gripes are that unread and read messages are not clearly distinguished and that the keyboard shortcuts no longer seem to work.
Previously, unread messages had a short preview and read ones had a darker background and no preview. Now, all messages have a preview and the background on read ones is so light as to be nearly the same as the white behind the unread ones. Sure, unread messages have the subject in bold, but the difference is not as noticeable as it used to be.
(And they seem to have instituted infinite scrolling with delayed loading-on-demand. So you can't page back to somewhere. Yech.)
And I was a little miffed when Fastmail last changed their keyboard navigation, but I adjusted; but now things don't work and I don't see any obvious way to bring up the old action menu which used to pop up when you hit ".". (".dp" was built into muscle memory for "delete message and go to previous".)
And their announcement says for those two points: "Unfortunately you can't show a preview for only unread emails, it's either all or none with the new interface." and "We have not yet updated our help documentation; we are currently working on that and hope to have it done soon. We do not believe this is a major impediment to users using the new interface as most of the features are highly discoverable as needed."
Thanks, guys.
(Also, what's with the preview being all-or-nothing? Is this something that's so difficult to program? Or is this one of the dumbing-down things: "mustn't confuse the poor widdle users' heads with an additional option"?)
Methinks I'll be taking advantage of my paid status and sending off a support request about the keyboard navigation thing.

Dorothea Lange
Lange's photo of a street scene in New York, where she grew up.
Dorothea Lange, Apprentice Photographer
When Dorothea Lange was seven years old, she contracted polio, a disease that caused her to walk with a limp. Her father abandoned the family when Dorothea was 12, and her mother went to work, first as a librarian and then as a social worker. Dorothea attended school in New York City, where, on her way home, she saw many people who were poor and homeless. Her illness, the abandonment by her father, and the people she observed in New York may have helped her understand some of the suffering of the people she would later photograph.

The Great American Road Trip
Destination: Mississippi
Author: William Faulkner
A Guest Post by Paul William Kaser
To understand the world you must first understand a place like Mississippi. William Faulkner
Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha (the name is borrowed from a real stream in Layfette County, Mississippi), is a fictional county that may be more real to millions of readers than any place they have actually visited.
Yankee travelers hoping to rediscover, or redeem, William Faulkner's South may miss the whole point if they look only at his handwriting on the wall of Rowan Oak house, or the Nobel Prize enshrined in the J. D. Williams Library at Ol' Miss, or the Sartoris-like statue of Great- grandpa William C. Falkner (sic) in Ripley Cemetery, or the fine collection of Square Books in Oxford. Though they can learn much in these places, the essential truth of the Faulkner's eloquent creation must be heard in the living voices of Faulkner's neighbors.
Everything comes; the people, the place, the story, and you just act like the fella feeding the corn shucker. — Ltr to Stephen Longstreet
Since I was a Yankee devourer of Faulkner's tales, like the macabre A Rose for Emily, the brutal As I Lay Dying and Barn Burning, the hilarious Spotted Horses and many others, when I first visited Oxford and Old Miss three decades ago, my mind was haunted by those rambling, elegant sentences that rolled along like caravans of cotton wagons on meandering Southern roads. I thought I had the rhythm and full understanding of the place, but I didn't get close to the truth until I went there and listened to the subdued voices of the people who had personally known the writer or had grown up with those who did.
He was a quiet hunter. an Oxford neighbor
Faulkner knew deeply that it little matters whether a foreign government decides to give you the greatest literary prize in the world, presented by the King no less, if you are not respected by the folks back in your own Yoknapatawpha County. He knew who he was because he knew so intimately the place from which he had emerged and which could never really leave.
When a friend was asked about his memories of the world-famed writer, he answered, "He was a quiet hunter." That is what mattered in that time and place, and it must have mattered greatly to Faulkner to be remembered in that way.
My wife and I took our boys, then five and seven years and appropriately restless with all the chatter about the past, to a local restaurant owned by a woman who had been acquainted with the writer. She told us, "I thought he was okay. Lived up there with some freeloading relatives and wrote a lot."
"What did you think when he won the Nobel Prize?" I asked.
"Then we guessed he was probably a pretty fair writer. Anyway I think he was okay as a neighbor. He let my kids play around the old house [Rowan Oak], and he never yelled at them." With an understanding smile, she glanced at our kids, who were trying to help themselves to the offerings of the pie case.
What finally counts, then, as Faulkner revealed in so many of his stories, is not gaining the adoration of the greater world but winning the simple respect of your neighbors.
Nevertheless, "Bill" Faulkner, who both loved and chided the South, chided especially in regards to its racial history, did not always win the unqualified praise of his fellow Southerners. Despite this, he once said that in a war between the U.S. and his state, he would, like his ancestors, fight for his state. I told a student-guide from Ole Miss at Rowan Oak house that this was hard for a lot of people to understand. "It wouldn't be hard to understand if you were born and raised in Mississippi," he answered unapologetically –perhaps a little scornfully.
I don't think anyone did more for this particular region. He showed us how to make literature from these materials. Robert Penn Warren
But did William Faulkner make Yoknapatawpha County or did it make him? The answer lies in the living voices of memory from Mississippi today. It's worth a listen.
Paul Kaser lectures about literature and film (or movies to his less pretension audiences) after retiring from a long and distinguished career as a college teacher in California. Not a little of his love of Faulkner shows in his novel How Jerem Came Home, which is well worth looking up at an on-line used-book store. It pays tribute to a county in Ohio. Although he tries to disguise it as West Virginia, everybody from Killbuck knows the truth.
If you have any questions about Faulkner, you'll have to address them to Paul, since I gave up wrestling with Bill Faulkner long ago. It was swell of Paul to drop by and raise the standards of writing here a A Traveler's Library, and I am very grateful.
And don't forget to check Music Road to see what travelin' music Kerry Dexter has on tap for our road trip to Mississippi.

As home of the legendary Ironman Triathlon, big wave surfing over ultra-shallow reefs, and mountain bike runs down volcanoes, Kona, Hawaii is a paradise for the masochistic.
After a day spent in the waves or on the trails around Kona a few cuts and bruises are commonplace, which makes squeezing in 18 holes of golf between surf sessions or rides a nice respite. It doesn't hurt that the Kohala coast, just north of Kona, has some of the best golf courses in the world.
The Mauna Kea resort's course is the best and most well known. It's also the oldest. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and built in 1963 the course wraps around one of the world's most idyllic beaches. The Mauna Kea resort, built by Laurance Rockefeller, was the most exclusive in the world when it opened in 1965. If you're looking for a forgiving, ego-boosting round, it's probably best to head to the Four Season's beautiful, but eminently merciful Jack Nicklaus designed Hualalai course.
Mauna Kea, on the other hand, is characteristically brutal but easily ranks in the "must play" list for any serious golfer. Extremely long (7,370 yards from the Black Championship tees and a rating/slope of 76.6), with heaps of elevation gain and over 120 white sand bunkers surrounding raised greens.
The course's signature third hole is a masterpiece. Horseshoeing around the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean rimmed by lava rock and deep bunkers along with a stiff onshore breeze, the gratification of sticking one close to the pin here is immense and pars feel like birdies.
After your round, grab lunch in the clubhouse to exchange war stories with other players all bound together by Mauna Kea's challenge. A stiff blended beachside cocktail and swim in the rare gentle waves and sandy water of the resort's world famous Kauna'oa Beach is a nice recovery option as well.
[More info: Four Seasons Hualalai course, $275/day; Mauna Kea Resort, $255/day]

But these work super well. It has all the specs that it promises to have, and quality was uniform throughout the order. Theres no way customers wont use this useful tracker.

Photography Workshops
Wildlife and Landscape Photography Tours
Get some fantastic images and pick up some great tips from our wildlife and landscape tours on Rathlin island .A visit to Rathlin is a step back in time to another era where peace and tranquillity prevail. The fact that there are few cars on the island creates an enchanting atmosphere, unique in today's bustling, non-stop world.

We will provide the ideal base from which to begin your photographic adventure whether it is simple one day one to one tuition or the ultimate Puffin Boot Camp.
There is an abundance of photographic subject matter and an atmosphere that encourages contemplation. Meal times will be arranged to ensure that we maximise the opportunities to photograph at the very best times of day and our daily schedule will be flexible enough to allow for as much or as little relaxation as each individual desires.
Our next tour will be in June 2015 but please call us or email to discuss your requirements.
We can organise tours on any dates as long as we have enough numbers. Tours usually consist of:
This tour offers a fantastic opportunity to completely escape the pressures of modern living and immerse you in the pursuit of photographic perfection. At the end of your weekend, you will leave with your own personal record of island life that will be perfect for sharing with family and friends. All this whilst resting in your comfortable and spacious accommodation and the peace and tranquillity for which Rathlin island is renowned.
Full Board accommodation, transport on Rathlin and tuition with award winning Photographer Tom McDonnell.
Does not include transport to Rathlin, insurance and alcoholic beverages.
EXERTION LEVEL: Moderate. A reasonable level of fitness is required for this trip.
COST £249.00 per person sharing.

Check into accommodation. There will be a "get to know each other "session with drinks and a slideshow presentation from award winning Photographer Tom McDonnell.
This will be followed by dinner and the option for a guided tour of Church Bay or a retreat to the bar.
After a home cooked breakfast the full day will be spent on location on the island with Tom and the abundance of photographic subject matter the island has to offer.
Lunch will be delivered to ensure maximum time is spent outside. After a full afternoon experiencing the islands rich wildlife
Dinner will be followed by an opportunity to do some star gazing.

TORONTO, March 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Conquest Resources Limited (TSX-V: "CQR") ("Conquest" or the "Company") has noted the level of market activity in the Company's stock during the last two days of trading. Conquest is not aware of any material developments for this increased level of activity.
The Company is preparing for the Spring/Summer Exploration season by carrying out a new airborne geophysical survey, relogging of historical drill core, and the compilation of historical mining and exploration activities at Conquest's Golden Rose property and the surrounding area. The results of these exploration activities will be interpreted in preparation for an initial phase of drilling planned to commence this summer.
"Conquest management is encouraged by the results of the ongoing Golden Rose exploration program. Preliminary results of the geophysical survey show the continuation of the iron formation host rock of the Golden Rose mine with several structural features that are interpreted to fold and offset the local geology across the east-west strike of the property which will be the subject of mapping and sampling as soon as possible," commented Benjamin Batson, President and Chief Executive of Conquest.
"We eagerly await Spring Break-up so that we can get boots-on-the-ground in our surface mapping and sampling program in advance of drilling over the combined seven kilometre strike of the prospective north and south banded iron formations."
An exploration grid is being planned for the eastern portion of the property, which has seen relatively little exploration despite having known gold and base metal occurrences in outcrop and drill holes.
On February 20, 2018, Conquest announced the commencement of a high-resolution, property-scale, airborne geophysical survey flown under contract to Geotech Limited on the Golden Rose property. While preliminary results of this survey have been made available to Conquest, the Company has yet to receive final results.
The interpretation of the final airborne geophysical data will include inversion techniques used to model three-dimensional solids for use in Conquest's target model of the property. With the addition of the Geotech VTEM data, interpreted zones of conductance be layered into the magnetic and bedrock geology models for use in drill hole targeting for gold mineralization across the strike of the two prospective banded iron formations which transect the width of the Golden Rose property.
On December 7, 2017, Conquest acquired a 100% interest in the Golden Rose Property located 65 kilometres northeast of Sudbury, Ontario. The patented and staked mining claims measure 770 hectares in size which encompass the former Golden Rose gold mine and highly prospective North and South banded iron formations at Emerald Lake.
On January 29, 2018, Conquest announced that it had completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $535,281. At least $350,000 of the total private placement will be used for exploration at Golden Rose.

Conquest Resources Limited was first incorporated in 1945 and is a mineral exploration company that is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties in Ontario. The Company's principal exploration target is gold.
Conquest holds an undivided 100% interest in the Alexander Gold Property located in the Red Lake mining camp in Ontario. The Alexander Property is located immediately east of Goldcorp's Red Lake and Campbell mines in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp on the important "Mine Trend" regional structure. Conquest's property is almost entirely surrounded by Goldcorp's land holdings.
In addition, Conquest owns a 100% interest in the Smith Lake Gold Property which consists of six (6) patented mining claims and sixteen (16) staked mining claims in Leeson, Stover, Brackin, and Rennie Townships in northern Ontario, lying to the north, west and south of the former Renabie gold mine.
Conquest has 118,923,348 shares outstanding.

"From me to the gym I love…My friends, my family, the people I would do anything for.
To my CFR family,
First off, there is not a single day that goes by that I don't think of CFR, the warmth of the community, the sound of the clock counting down, the smell of sweat, chalk and barbells mixed together to form an aroma that's impossible to forget, and especially the camaraderie that all five senses can tangibly synthesize the second someone smashes a PR or has a breakthrough. What CFR means to me, and will always mean to me, cannot adequately be described in words but the best way I can put it is a family I would kill and die for. I miss each and every one of you and want nothing short of colossal dominance and victory in all your endeavors.
I want to take this opportunity to share with you some thoughts and reflections that will hopefully put you in a mindset to properly attack not only this workout but every aspect of your life. As you are about to complete "Murph," a cornerstone workout named after the Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Michael Murphy, one key thought to return to is "it" (the workout, your fitness journey, hell even life) isn't just about you. Murph lived his life with the needs of those around him always surpassing his own, he was truly a protector, an individual that sought to give of himself to preserve the lives of those around him. During the course of this workout I challenge you to refuse the easy way out, to refuse to shave that rep or two, to refuse to compromise the depth of a single squat or pushup, to refuse to settle into a comfortable running pace, to refuse to take that extra :30 when you know you can get back on the bar. The easy way out is always there for you, on a daily basis, its easy to eat takeout instead of making your own food, its easy to skip a workout and sleep in instead, its easy to melt into mediocrity and simply float through life. Whats hard is being more than that, making the small but frequent decisions to forego the easy way for the truly rewarding path. By showing up to this workout you've given the middle finger to the easy way, you've taken another step to pass on comfort in favor of excellence, and for that you are a better person. There are few individuals in the common era we can look to as examples of shedding comfort for a higher calling of sacrifice than Murph, he truly personified everything it means to give of ones self for the greater good. While you're waist deep in the discomfort of this workout remember why we do named Hero WODs, remember Murph and all the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice past, present, and future, remember that discomfort and pain are temporary, and finally remember that in the end no one will remember your WOD times, what your body fat percentage was, how much you can lift, but what will will be remembered is the kind of person you chose to be throughout your life and what you did for those around you, they will remember your character, integrity, and contributions, as we remember those same inherent traits of Murph today. Refuse to indulge comfort and the easy way out by accepting nothing less than excellence of yourself to better those around you; your fitness, but more importantly your friends, family, and those you care about will be all the better for it. Kick ass, have fun, and God bless America, get after it CFR.
That said...
Please please please be smart with this workout. Yes, we are honoring a fallen soldier with a hero workout, but listen to your body and be ready to adjust in the middle of the workout if needed.
#1 preparation thing prior to this workout, you guessed it, is proper NUTRITION. You should be well hydrated and properly nourished before tackling this workout. We each have our own version of what that is for you, individually, but please make sure you have enough in you to sustain your energy levels throughout a long and grueling workout like this. Be smart.
Scale the movements appropriately if need be
1 mile Run(s): scale distance if needed
100 Pull-Ups/200 Push Ups/300 Air Squats: If you have not been at the gym when we've been doing pull-ups, you just seemed to have missed those days over the past few weeks/month+, or if this is your first month or two with CFR, I think it probably makes sense that you cut the volume of reps down a bit. Be smart.
First cut might look like 80/160/240; next 50/100/200. It's OKAY. No one will think badly of you. Be smart. If you feel good after finishing the scaled numbers and think you'll be alright completing more, that is the time to go ahead and go for it and continue on. Not pushing through, beyond what your body is probably capable of doing.
I'm not trying to cast a shadow over this day/workout, but it is obviously a tough, long one for folks who haven't been building up to this kind of volume for these movements. Be smart and have fun with a large group!

As a team of 3, one person "works" and accumulates reps for the team, while the other two "non-working" teammates hold a plank (forearms or push-up position). The non-workers will only hold a plank during the non-cardio reps (i.e. - not the Run, Row, Ski).

Fri, 5/26/17 WOD
Wide-Stance Box Squat (week 2/3)
8 x 3 @ 55-65% (50-60% last week)
- We should be targeting a box height that, when you sit down on it, gets you right AT parallel, or slightly above (usually around 13-15").
- OR...if going that low to your box makes your back round over, or causes your knees to internally collapse, or form to break in any way, then raise the height of your box to a height that allows you to maintain perfect form. You should be striving to gradually increase your range of motion with perfect form, but start where you can maintain it now.
- The percentages for this movement are based off of your 1 RM Conventional Back Squat @100%.
- We are using this movement to help develop our Poster Chain Activation (PCA) and Rate of Force Production (RFP), with a neural intent of being explosive and powerful. The weight should not be heavy and slow.
4 Deadlifts (155/105)
8 Box Jump Overs
16 Abmat Situps
4 Power Cleans (225/155)
8 Box Jump Overs (24"/20")
16 Abmat Situps
4 Power Cleans (275/185)
8 Box Jump Overs (30"/24")
16 Abmat Situps
Power Cleans should be heavy, but manageable. No more than a rep every 15sec.
Round Goals should be a round every 3 minutes or so, if the movements are on the challenging side. A round every 2 minutes if the movements are more manageable.

This is a good one to try to push yourself on. The volume isn't too crazy. You'll be fine after wriggling on the floor for a few minutes! Shoot for sub-7:00.

12 Calorie Row
12 Wall Balls

For example, if partner 1 is still doing ring rows when partner 2 finishes the bike, then partner 2 will rest until partner 1 has finished and moved onto the push-ups.

I'm a huge fan of the Molcajete.
I have one other recipe on the site for this Mexican specialty, so if you're as much a fan as I am, then be sure to check it out.
The technique is really what we're after as you can fill the squash bowls with any ingredients you choose. And, if squash isn't your thing, then hook up with one of these and go to town in authentic fashion.
Whatever you do, be sure to smile lots because you're eating tasty food all while…
"Keeping It Paleo!"
Your Pal,
Paleo Nick
(Rocking it with these dudes in Sierraville last night…)
Acorn Squash Molcajete
Ingredient List:
Preparation Instructions for the Molcajete:
Preparation Instructions for the Tomatillo Salsa:
"Keep It Paleo!"
Zone Breakdown:
Proteins: (40)
We have two sources of protein for this recipe. The first comes from the carne asada. We have 2 pounds, or 32oz. With one block equaling 1oz, that gives us 32 protein blocks. We add in additional 8 blocks from the shrimp. We have one pound, or 16oz. for every 2oz of shrimp we use, we get an additional block, bringing our total protein count to 40P.
Carbohydrates: (35)
Our main source of carb blocks come from our acorn squash. WE know that one acorn weighs around 430g. One block of acorn squash equals 106g, so that gives us a total of about 20 carb blocks. Next we add in the tomatillos. One cup of them equal about 132g, and one block equals 220g, so from the 8 cups of tomatillos we add, we get about 5 car blocks. Then we have 4 cups of onions giving us 8 more blocks because ½ cup equals one block. Finally we get an additional blocks from the 10 garlic cloves, and one from the ½ red onion added for garnish. We have a total of 35C.
Fats: (8)
We have a few fats added into this recipe. The first come from our avocado. Using whole avocado adds about 8 blocks, as one tablespoon equals one block and we can get about 8 from a whole avocado. Additional fats will be added if you choose to drizzle olive oil over it.
Balancing Act:
For the most part, the carbs and proteins are fairly balanced. If we broke it down into 10 portions, we would have 4 protien blocks and 3.5 carb blocks per meal. The fats are a little low, so feel free to add about a ½ a tablespoon of oil to bring the balance up.

Friday Favorite: Cats in the Garden
It's no secret that I am a cat person, I always have been. Cats are great to have around, I love their personalities and the way they interact with humans and each other. Gardening is also so much better with cats.
Dexter and Samson are most often my gardening companions, Dexter in particular likes to follow me around while I work.
There's also the little feral garage cat, Sweets, who I don't see as much as I used to since she has become mostly nocturnal. I do catch her sleeping on the couch in the upstairs of the garage quite often during the day.
I'm thinking about getting another garage cat for Sweets to train. She's such a good mouser and is really smart about predators as well. Cats can also play an important role in the garden for rodent control. Since we don't want foxes coming close to the house we need something to keep the mice and other small rodents in check. This task is important for helping keep Lyme disease in check as well, if all the smaller rodents like mice are kept under control larger rodents like squirrels can thrive and they are less likely to be hosts for Lyme disease.
What's your favorite kind of animal to have around?Filed under Friday Favorites | Comments (10)

I guess when it is all said and done, I prefer the company of German Shepherds but my ME Coon cat is pretty darn good company especially in the garden where the dogs aren't allowed.
to Jennifer Fisk's comment
My two labs . They follow me around the garden all day, finding good sleeping spots while I work.
When the day ends, they look more tired than I do :-)
to Marina's comment
I prefer Labradors as my favorite pet. The ironic part is that I have two dauschunds, and a cat. My wife had both "weiner" dogs before we were married and Smokie the cat was added later. I have always been a dog person but Smokie know how to "work it" and he has really grown on me. :)
to Tom @ Raise Your Garden's comment
I love having my ferals around and will be sad one day when they are gone. I'm sure other cats would eventually move in, though. Some of ours like to stay on certain parts of the yard and others will go anywhere. They definitely love to talk to use, too!
to Misti's comment
I love having my dog (a mutt) with me in the garden. There hasn't been a squirrel, vole, gopher or possum in my yard for 7 years thanks to her. Plus, she hates vegetables and doesn't dig, so she's easy. Just some belly rubs and treats and she's happy :)
to Finny's comment
I also like having the outdoor cat around. I usually bring my black lab out with me because I'm scared of snakes (I know they are beneficial and only have garter snakes here) and I hope she scares them away while I'm out and about.
to Natasha's comment
Susy, my wild turkeys are the best for stirring up the mulch and eating the bugs. They usually play nice with all the plants except for the sweet corn. They don't eat the corn but they pick at the small plants until they get to be about 18 or 24 inches high. There are a few snakes around but not as many as when I first started clearing the land.
The day started at 5am today. Two hours in the garden at sunrise is the best gardening time. It's great. Tomorrow is another day. :)
Have a great cats in the garden day.
to Nebraska Dave's comment
this is our first year having a cat. we got one specifically for the voles/moles and bunnies in the garden. so far, she has done beautifully. i see her digging & don't discourage it b/c i assume she is digging for an animal. however, last month, i planted spinach and beet seeds and she dug through that raised bed :( and then yesterday, i planted carrots around tomatoes IN POTS (no way there is an animal in there!) and she dug up most of the carrot seeds! :P do you have these issues with your cats?
to katy's comment
I love cats but keep mine indoors. i am trying hard to attract birds to the yard and cats are so hard on the native bird population. Not judging…I've had outdoor cats at times, too! But, for now, I love having my dog out in the yard with me. She keeps guard and provides plenty of company, alternating between napping and checking on progress.
to Kyle's comment
I love working with my cats in the garden as well. They're always "helpful" and full of funny antics as well as naps :) My choc lab Jackie is always nearby watching over everything too.

Employees told the Wall Street Journal that Disney Exec Thomas Schumacher was been making explicit sexual comments to employees.
The accusations against Disney Exec Thomas Schumacher may not be as serious as those against Harvey Weinstein and others, but how well do they comport with Disney's role as a source of "family entertainment"? Disney was a home for this perverted creep and paid him handsomely for his work.
And we have to wonder if other accusations are going to come out. Listen to Schumacher here talking about introducing youths to theater:
The Daily Wire reports, "Disney Executive Thomas Schumacher Accused Of 'Decades' Of Sexual Misconduct Against Men."
Trending: Evidence of the Silicon Valley Cult
The Wall Street Journal reports that a number of Disney representatives, including employees, say they witnessed executive Thomas Schumacher, an openly gay man, making sexually explicit remarks to male employees in incidents going all the way back to the 1990s. He also, allegedly, spoke about the "sexual prowess of black men" and "has continued to use sexual language in the past two or three years."[…]
"Mr. Schumacher has offended numerous employees over the years with explicit language and behavior, including comments about subordinates' sexual attractiveness, discussions about pornography and walking through the office in a bathrobe while boasting he had nothing on underneath, according to people who said they witnessed the episodes."
