I absolutely love garden planning, to the point that I tend to start thinking about next year before I've even put this year's garden to bed. I even find myself slightly disappointed in the lack of "work" there is to do in planning these days – I've honed in on those tried-and-true varieties, and really gotten the layout of my vegetable bed down to a science. Really, it plans itself nowadays!
Garden planning can seem like a daunting task to the inexperienced, but it doesn't need to be. You can do as little or as much planning as you'd like, and I don't doubt that no matter how little you do, you'll see the benefits of a little forethought!
So how do you get started? I've been planning gardens for many years now, from the very small to large, to container, raised beds and enclosed, I've tried them all! With that comes a lot of experience on what works and doesn't, and how to maximize your space to its full potential.
Below are my tips for garden planning! I hope my experiences help you as you set out to plan your next garden!
- Know What You Like – Before you can even choose a location or decide on a style and size for your garden, it's a great idea to think about what vegetables or herbs you enjoy and use the most. If you don't really like eggplant, or you only eat cherry tomatoes in one particular dish, it doesn't make sense to take up valuable space with those plants. Create a list of vegetables, greens, fruits and herbs you use and love the most, and incorporate those into your garden plan. Having ready a designated "grow list" will keep you from impulsively buying extra seed packets, or that really beautiful plant you don't actually need. Trust me, I know!
- Evaluate your Garden Space – Knowing how much space you have, and how much room each plant needs to grow is very important. If you only have space for a few containers, or one small raised bed, choosing several squash varieties or putting in blackberries is probably not your best bet. Research the plants you want to grow so you know exactly how much space each one needs. Consider alternative options to maximize your space as well – for example, I always trellis squash and gourds, allowing me to grow much more than if I let them have free reign.
- Determine your Sun/Shade Status – Some plants need a lot of sun, like tomatoes and peppers. Others, like romaine and salad greens, will appreciate a bit more shade. I have found that most plants are pretty versatile, and that you can organize your plants to help provide more shade for those that need it. Just remember, it is easier to provide shade than to give more sun. Unless you are going to clear trees or move buildings to make more room, a full shade garden is harder to work with, and you may want to choose a new location for your garden. If you are using containers, consider keeping them smaller to allow you to move them throughout the day as needed to meet their sun/shade needs.
- Seeds or Starts? – Do you want to start your plants from seeds, or buy pre-started plants from a local nursery or farm? Starting from seed is definitely cheaper over all, but requires much more time and some basic equipment. You also need to consider what time of year it is – if you are planning your garden and it is already May, you're really too late to start most plants from seeds, except for fast growing squash, melons and gourds. For my zone (zone 6-7) I get the majority of my seeds started in February, with a few other plants getting their start in April or early May, and items like carrots and beets getting direct seeded after the last frost warning.
- Frost Warning – Look up your planting zone. This will be an invaluable piece of knowledge for you, as it will provide you with the appropriate planting dates for your area, and help you to choose plants and varieties that are especially suited to your zone. If you live in a cold zone like me, growing pineapples and avocados in the garden just isn't going to happen!
- Organic? Non-GMO? Do you have specific requirements for your future food? This is a big reason for most home gardeners to begin growing their own food. The ghastly amount of chemicals and pesticides that are sprayed on or injected into our commercial purchased produce is pretty terrifying. If you are motivated to grow your own food to have organic, non-gmo fruits and vegetables, be careful where you purchase your seeds &/or plants from. Most seed companies are very transparent about which seeds are organic and non-GMO. They typically also note which are heirloom or open-pollinated varieties, meaning you can save your own seeds from your harvest to use for the following years' plants. Purchasing genetically modified seeds will mean you can save seed, but if they do grow, they will not produce a true copy of their parent plant, and who knows what you'll end up with (nevermind the fear of what is IN a GMO anyway!) If you are shopping for plants, ask someone at the nursery where they get their plants or seeds from, and if they have a section for organic varieties.
- How will you handle pests/weeds? – If you are looking to garden organically, buying all the Round-Up in sight is not a good idea. Research organic and natural methods of pest or weed control. Sometimes this is hard said than done – how do you know what to research until you know the problems you'll face? And for those problems, you have to just take them as they come! For weed control, I find that consistent, daily weeding is really your best bet. However many gardeners and farmers are happy using landscaping fabric, mulch or wood chips, cardboard and newspaper, or a combination of all of these!
- Draw it Out – This is probably the most detailed part of my garden planning, and I am pretty sure most people think I am nuts for doing it. But I love it, and honestly, after that first year, it gets much easier! I measured out my garden space, and then drew out the outline of the garden bed (to scale) on graph paper. Make sure you save the original, so you can make more copies in the future, and this will save you a lot of time. I then have fun deciding where I want to plant what, based on how the plant grows – will it have a small foot print, does it need a trellis? Will the plant next to it over shadow it, or will weird things happen if the roots mix with the plant next to it (I'll never forget the year I planted cumbers near 8-ball zucchini, and got small, round cucumbers with a peach-like fuzz on them! No thank you!).
- Make a Seed Starting List – If you do decide to start your plants from seeds, I find that organizing them by maturity date and planting needs helps. I do this on a simple piece of paper, so I know exactly which seeds I need to start in February (for me, all my tomatoes, peppers and eggplant), and which can wait until early May (fast growing items like my squash and corn). It also helps me sort out those items that will do best if planted directly in the ground (most greens and root vegetables).
- Consider Your Soil – How do you want to manage the health of your soil? When you grow and produce fruits and vegetables, those plants take their nutrients from the soil, often depleting the ground of those particular nutrients. Having healthy, rich soil is key to ensuring a healthy garden. Can you compost? Developing your own compost is not only sustainable, but you will have your own all-natural fertilizer to add to your garden every year. If you aren't able to manage your own compost pile, or it's just not for you, research fertilizers that fall in line with your gardening goals – whether that be a general fertilizer, or something organic and derived from natural sources.

A stamp forming die whose flexible blank holder (BH) was designed using finite element (FE) analysis was built. The tooling also included active draw beads, local wrinkling sensors, and local force transducers. Wrinkling was controlled using a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) feedback loop and blank holder force (BHF). Local forces in the tooling were also controlled using blank holder forces in a PID feedback loop. A third closed-loop control system that could be used to control local punch forces (LPF) near draw beads featured an advanced PID controller with a Smith Predictor and Kalman Filter. A Bang–bang controller was also incorporated into that control system in order to prevent control saturation. Fuzzy logic was used to transition from one controller to the other. Once closed-loop control was implemented, tests were performed in order to evaluate the strains in the pans for various forming conditions. These results were compared to open-loop tests and it was found that the strains' paths for closed-loop control tests resulted in convergence and were further from the forming limit than strains from open-loop control tests. Furthermore, it was seen that the strains in critical regions had more uniform strain fields once closed-loop control of local punch forces was implemented. Hence, it was concluded that controlling local punch forces resulted in the indirect control of strains in critical regions.

Forest boss Davies handed five-game touchline ban
Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies has been given a five-game touchline ban and fined £9,000 for comments made to a match official.
The FA had charged Davies with misconduct following allegations that he had used "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour" towards referee Anthony Taylor at half-time of Forest's 2-2 home draw with Championship leaders Leicester City on February 19.
Davies admitted using such language and/or actions, but denied a second charge made under FA Rule E3 that alleged he "deliberately made contact with the match referee".
However, the governing body announced on Tuesday that it had found this charge proven.
A statement on the FA website read: "Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies will serve a five-match touchline ban with immediate effect, subject to any appeal, in respect of two breaches of FA Rule E3 that took place during his side's game against Leicester City on February 19 2014.
"Davies admitted the first breach that he used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards the match referee in or around the tunnel area at half-time of this fixture.
"However, he denied the second breach of improper conduct, which alleged that he deliberately made contact with the match referee. This charge was found proven."
Davies' touchline ban begins with immediate effect.

Christmas isn't Christmas without.... Christmas music
But this year was a classic year for albums. Kylie had a new album out!! Kylie Christmas [CD+DVD] Now usually Pop Princesses don't get much listening to in my car, but I LOVE this album; it is kitsch, old fashioned, modern pop, pure Kylie, duets with the weirdest people and all wrapped up with a picture of a lady old enough to be me (she's 5 days younger, I think) but a LOT smaller! I love the opening song, 'It's the most wonderful time of the Year', and the song written by Chris Martin, 'Every Day's Like Christmas', but I really love her duet of 'Only You' with James Corden.
I've pretty much had her on a loop with Kim Wilde whose Wilde Winter Songbook (Deluxe) has a lovely selection of old and new. Her duet partners aren't perhaps as classy as Kylie's, but being able to call on her family to sing 'White Winter Hymnal' a capello is a nice touch!

Wayne Rash talks us through the issues of phishing and how companies can protect themselves against phishing.
By now you're familiar with the basic phishing e-mail. You know the one -- it comes from a bank you don't do business with asking you to verify personal information such as your name, Social Security Number and your existing bank account information. The e-mail may claim the bank it purports to represent has a check to deposit to your account, is trying to clear a check or something else along those lines. These phishing e-mails are easy to spot, their misspelled words obvious and the bogus links show up clearly. They're also fairly easy to fight.
Unfortunately, so many people are on to this kind of attempted identity theft that the phishers have turned to more sophisticated means. They use real bank logos and information they've gleaned from elsewhere on the Internet to make it look like they know you, and they don't ask for personal information. Rather, they ask you to visit a website that will download a virus that will go through your computer and collect whatever information it can find.
But as phishing continues to evolve, detecting phishing e-mails is becoming more difficult. Worse, some phishing e-mails are really the visible part of an APT. They appear to be from someone you know, and they appear to ask for a response regarding something related to work, your finances or something else a friend may know. But spear phishing, as these highly personal phishing e-mails are called, depends on gaining your confidence by using material gleaned from social networks or other sources. When the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was attacked, for example, the attackers went after the e-mail files. Most likely they were looking for e-mail addresses and information from the contents of the e-mails they found to use in a later spear phishing attack.
But these attacks may not be after personal finance information; rather, they may be after passwords to other companies' systems, they may be after the names and e-mail addresses at other companies, or they may be after personal information they can use elsewhere.
The solution to most spear phishing attacks is first to use the best screening systems you can find. Some next-generation firewalls and most high-end security software can at least warn when they find a suspicious message. In addition, users must be trained never to answer requests for personal information of any kind. The bank is never going to e-mail anyone asking for account information. The IRS isn't going to e-mail anyone about taxes, and the security staff at another company isn't going to e-mail anyone about their access information.

Outlaw Way – 121012 (Sort Of…)
I already posted a lot about today's activities. So I'll just catch up with midday recovery, the Olympic work, as well as the second WOD. After the first WOD, an americano, protein shake and hefty does of trail mix; I decided to do what any rational person would do – clear my DVR. Two episodes of Colbert, the season premiere of "The League," and two episodes of "South Park" later – I figured it was probably time for more food and some mobility. Lunch was two chicken thighs and a bowl of kale; I love kale, I think it's one of the most flavorful green veggies out there and it goes with everything. If you've never tried it, try it cooked with bacon and some onion, delicious. Suddenly it was time for a nap; then gym time. That was probably more information than you wanted about my mediocre day…oh well.
BB Gymnastics
1) Every 40 seconds for 6 minutes (10 total reps):
1 Power Snatch + 1 Hang Snatch (full squat) @ 120#
*rest 2 minutes
2) Every 50 seconds for 7:30 minutes (10 total reps):
1 Power Clean + 1 Hang Clean (full squat) + 1 Push Press @ 172#
5 rounds for time of:
Run 400m
(I didn't do this, I ran this morning and the WOD for our box was different today)
1 power snatch, 115/85
1 overhead squat, 115/85
1 muscle up
6 rounds + 6 Snatch's
1a) 3X20 UB GHD Situps – rest 45 sec.
1b) 3X7 KB Windmills (7 reps each arm) – heaviest possible, rest 45 sec.
(I didn't do these either)
I didn't record the Olympic work today because it wasn't very interesting, and I haven't fixed anything yet, so instead of just write the same lines about the same issues, I figured I will just focus on making changes and one day I'll have a great video to show you. The Outlaw way has a funny tendency, usually it's just lift heavy, as heavy as possible for that day – sometimes it's timed, sometimes it's not. Occasionally it goes off of percentages of 1RM. Today it was both – which called for snatch's at 120, that wasn't happening – I was able to muster 115. The cleans were similar, they called for 172, which for a clean is perfectly fine, the problem was the push press. Apparently if I don't get to push/split jerk, it's a lot harder. So I had to stop at 155. So that was that – in the end I still got a lot of work out of it. This brings me to WOD #2, 12 minute AMRAP, I like short AMRAP's – the intensity was a nice change from WOD #1. The RX was 115 which, since I just snatched it 20 minutes earlier, was no problem. The OHS took a bit of warming up to keep my torso upright, I have a bad tendency to look down, so I picked a spot on the wall across the gym and pumped them out. Unfortunately I can't do RX muscle ups – my pull-up isn't strong enough; so I did those with a band, the thinnest I could find. Finished 6 rounds and 6 snatches. Gotta work on those muscle ups.
Best part of my day – got home and had a package from Outlaw, new WOD shorts and a pair of socks. Cause you can never have enough of those apparently…

Prudence Flint: Bedsit - Art Collector
|Matthew Browne, Sonder 17 2017. Vinyl tempera & oil on linen. 47 x 65cm. Courtesy of The Artist and OrexArt, Auckland.
Prudence Flint is known for her paintings of female figures in psychologically charged environments, enveloped by fields of colour and light. We are looking in on an intimate world of focus and intent.
Flint draws out tensions between the figure's pose, the paintings' flat expanses of colour, and each articulated detail. Her works create an interplay between the objects of everyday life—bedside tables, candles, bottles, shadows, flowing water —and the forces exerted by the painterly qualities of the pictures themselves.
Prudence's new works are inspired by seeing the early northern biblical paintings of Hans Memling and Gerard David at the MET. 'I admire the interior scenes where painted flesh, fabric, water, light, and colour radiate a transformative ecstatic atmosphere. Looking at these paintings evokes in me a sense of wonder and vibrant consciousness.'
Exhibition Opens: 6pm-8pm, Tuesday 14 November 2017

That's no casual decision. I've put considerable time and thought into how I store my photos in general, as well as how I back up my information overall. Despite all the bottomless storage features offered by tech giants like Google and Amazon, I default to keeping my most valuable data with Apple. Why I chose this matters, so let's talk about it.
First and foremost, there's the issue of these companies' business models. The goal of each outfit is to make the most money it can for its shareholders, naturally, and in that sense Apple — pricing its products at a premium — is the most visible example of the maxim. But $1,000 iPhones and pricey accessories aside, at least the company is only buttering its bread on one side.

This is a big year for multiples of 100 in classical music: the 200th birthdays of Wagner and Verdi, the centennial of Benjamin Britten. Easily lost in all this is the centennial of Witold Lutoslawski, born on this date. When I talk to people 'inside' music — other composers, musicians, publicists and presenters — there's always the nodding, satisfied acknowledgement of Lutoslawski's greatness, and an accompanying wistful expression over how infrequently his music is performed. It's both a shame and a puzzle, because his music is truly great, arguably more important than the three more famous names, and also attractive and compelling to all sorts of ears.
Lutoslawski did what no one else in the twentieth century did, or even seriously attempted, he reconciled the extremes of experimentation from Cage with the classical tradition, producing music that is darkly colorful, intellectually and emotionally alluring and mysterious, and structurally exciting. He maintained the drama and expressive color of his beloved Chopin and Bartók while opening up the door to unpredictability, all while maintaining control of his materials, like the best before him. The YouTube videos give you a great idea of his journey. He was also as gracious a man as you will ever find and he left a deep personal impression on me when I met him in my first year of grad school. Take a look at this documentary excerpt:
His death is perhaps too recent for the kind of celebration/revision/marketing opportunities that amount to a festival of concerts and boxed sets. And all of his music is available on recordings, most of them very fine. Lutoslawski conducted many performances himself and had advocates in two exceptional conductors, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Antoni Wit. Naxos has a large series of recordings of his music, while Sony had just collected Salonen's recordings of Lutoslawski's great symphonies. There's also a new and ongoing series of recordings conducted by Edward Gardner on the Chandos labels, and these have been great so far. I had always preferred Salonen, and in terms of quality and value the reissue is the best first place to start with this music, but Gardner's series is looking to be awesome, the best there is.

Viewers watching various Fox networks over the past week have been visited by some strange and chilling advertising just in time for Halloween.

Four "Bite Size Horror" films (they are all two minutes long) have rolled out so far. Snickers presents "Live Bait," written and directed by Andrew Laurich, a tale of a fisherman on whom the tables are suddenly turned.

I'm sick of being unhealthy and it's time to do something about it! Here's what I do, whether it works, and any inspiration I find along the way.

3rd goal reached! - total loss 21lb!
Her name is KImber and she's a 11 week old lemon beagle, and we've had her for 2 weeks - oddly enough the same length of time since I last weighed. She's gone from 2 to 4kg since we got her! She's my birthday present from my husband for my 35th birthday and so I've not had space to go running as I'm housetraining, teaching her her name, training her to sit, etc - and the 10-15 minute school run now takes 25-30 minutes and is not at a brisk pace. Eventually though, the idea is that she *will* be able to come running with me, which will not only help encourage me, but also keep me feeling safer and keep her nice and fit (beagles can get chubby if they don't get enough excercise, just like me!). She's going to like me being fitter and healthier too.
Also as an added side note, I now weigh under 15 stone and okay, only just. However, I can barely remember the last time I was under 15 stone and I'm not sure it was any time in the last 8 years...

I have my 2nd 25 minute run coming up! I'm on week 7 of the 9 week c25k plan but I feel a bit yuck.
I am going on holiday Friday, to winterborne Houghton in Dorset, with hubby, son and 4 other couples (and two other children). I've planned my running route but I'm a bit worried about pub lunches & evenings of drinking, which has always been par for the course with this group of friends but not how I live anymore! Wish me luck!

April 1st - lost 1 stone!
Since starting in February I've lost a stone and am very pleased about it, as you can imagine.
Clothes are fitting better and thanks to the running, my calves and tummy are firming up as well. I'm still size 16, still 36g, still officially obese, but it's still a really good start. Looking forward to lots more coming off!
A 25 minute run tonight, I'm nervous but quietly confident!
Sunday, 25 March 2012
I started at 224lbs. If I aim for 150lbs that takes me to a healthy weight without being too extreme! That gives me :
75lb to lose
Start weight 224lbs - 16stone - 17/02/12
10lb - 204lb - 14stone 8lb
10lb - 194lb - 13stone 12lb - bmi overweight not obese!
10lb - 184lb - 13stone 2lb
10lb - 174lb - 12stone 6lb
10lb - 164lb - 11stone 10lb - healthy BMI 11 stone 8lb!
10lb - 154lb - 11stone
4lb - healthy weight of 150lb = 10stone 10lb!

1st Month
I have lost 7lb in weight so far and have changed the way I eat to something more sustainable. I have also started the Couch to 5k plan for running / training and am up to week 5, with my first big run tomorrow - 20 minutes non stop (and yes, I'm nervous).
I use the 'My FitnessPal' Android app to track my calories in the foods I eat and weigh out the amounts for breakfast cereal and pasta. After using it for a few weeks I started to get the idea and don't track on the app anymore, but still use it once in a while to look something up. It looks at your weight & advises you how many calories you should have a day, and also when you are slightly under it tells you what weight you'll be if you keep it up - which so far has been pretty accurate! It's also helped me to stop drinking cider during the week as once you know the calorie cost you can make a decision - for example last night I chose to have 2 drinks and enjoyed them. Before starting this I'd have 2 drinks most nights and many more at weekends.
I've not stopped eating anything in particular, just in moderation. I had fish & chips from the takeaway once and also a chinese takeaway, - in fact the day after the chinese I'd lost 2lb that week! As long as you control portion sizes and avoid the deep fried rubbish, it's still possible to do it. I also eat biscuits at my mums house twice a week and have had one cadbury's cream egg so far - with many more planned (what? It's a weakness!). We eat a lot of salads for evening meals but rather than the salards we used to have with all the fattening bits, we have lettuce, cucumber, tomato, watercress, seeds, flaked nuts, dried fruit, avocado etc - enough so it's filling and they are all good sources of good fats rather than crappy empty fats. Also? Really tasty ;) We eat fruit for pudding, and bananas on run days.
The Couch to 5k plan is amazing. In the first week you run for 60 seconds and walk for 90, and repeat for 20 minutes (with 5 minutes walking either end to warm up and cool down). Next week the run is 90 seconds. By week 3 you're running for 3 minutes, and now at week 5 my last run was 8 minutes twice, with a 5 minute walk in between. You run every other day, with a rest day in between, and once a week we have 2 days off. My husband Justin is doing it too and is noticeably thinner and fitter - he's also lost 7lb since we started, and didn't have as far to go as me ;) My mum also runs with me and although she's a uk size 10 & healthy weight, she is 72, so is doing well!
The things we want to eat have changed. I think we now associate good=healthy. The day after our chinese, my mum talked about needing to go buy a cucmber and some tomatoes and we both said 'mmmmm!' - we were craving healthy foods. It's such a nice feeling to be satisfied but not stuffed and heavy. The foods we used to eat made us sluggish and we both have lots more energy now we're eating lighter foods. It's exciting to eat this way, and we don't feel worse afterwards!
Looking forward, I'm excited to weigh myself tomorrow - if I haven't lost weight, I kknow I've lost inches, and my clothes are looking better. I'm apprehensive about the 20 minute run but know that in the next few weeks, I'll be running for 30 - it's a 9 week program so I'm more than half-way through. I want to start introducing a weight lifting / yoga gentle routine for my rest days from running to help tone up the upper body a bit more - I want my saggy arms to go! - and at the moment I walk to my mums twice a week which is 20 minutes each way - although it already appears to be 15 minutes each way already. As the weather gets warmer & sunnier we'll be spending more weekends digging in the allotment and going out for walks by the river so it'll be easy to get more 'accidental' exercise. What will be tricky will be not eating out at every pub we pass - but it'll be an interesting challenge to go for healthy vegetarian options with smaller portion sizes. I'm excited to think that before long I'll be able to go running by the river like you see 'real' runners do - at the moment I run slower than I walk, I think! :D

Starting out
About me:
I will be 35 this year and I'm a uk size 16, and was a 14 before I had my son 7 years ago. I'm 5'7 and on the BMI index I'm officially obese. I'm a stay at home mum and housewife but am also slightly agoraphobic so don't go out very often. There's no room in my house for a home gym and I would NOT go to a public gym. I'm not a morning person, I'm one of those who are very sluggish for the first hour or so after I've woken up no matter what the time - but during the week I'm alone during school hours. I have a Wii (with Wii Fit Plus and also Your Fitness Coach), an exercise ball and some resistance bands, and I have some small neoprene weights. I have 2 good fitting sports bras (36G so very important!), some good trousers and shorts and a couple of running tops.
History (Weight-wise):
I've been to Weight Watchers twice and lost a stone each time, and quite enjoyed it (but couldnt afford to pay for it any more). I found their system fairly good to follow as you can eat what you want within reason and just make sure you balance it properly within your points allowance. Also it taught me to always look at calories and fat levels on food. I've got an allotment and find it easy to eat well during the summer months, but I'm a sucker for adding weight back on in winter. Another problem I've found is that I'm vegetarian and when I'm on holiday in the summer time the veggie options when we eat out *always* include cheese by the gallon. I come home from holiday much larger than when I went!
Last year I lost nearly a stone again by religiously using Wii fit, jogging on the spot and doing routines from some of my dvds. It was good until I went on holiday for three weeks in a place that was, frankly, a bit rubbish for food. By the time I came back I'd got used to eating fatty foods again and had put on weight & was too disillusioned to get back to it. So this year I plan to use this blog to keep me on track no matter what happens!
I plan to start next week - Today is Wednesday 15th February and I've basically had a cold for 2012 this year so have been very sluggish & sitting about. The rest of the week we've got half term activities - visiting Grandma, going to the Science Museum, etc, so I'm going to start when the boy goes back to school next Tuesday - as far as exercising goes. We eat reasonably healthily but I'll log foods for the next few days and get used to 'all this sort of thing' - sharing it all!

We've touched on the fact that the new coal industry front group "FACES" has yet to come forward with a list of their members. Well, thanks to a few new media gumshoes, including our own Jamie Goodman and our friends at DeSmogBlog, we've learned that not only is FACES hosted by a K-Street firm called Adfero, but all of the "FACES" of coal are actually just istockphotos. They couldn't even get real photos of their supporters. Astroturf win?
From Appalachian Voice Front Porch:
The coal industry PR generators must be running low on fuel, because they have been misfiring repeatedly over the course of the Summer, and it looks like they may have another false start with FACES (Federation for American Coal, Energy, and Security).
Who are they? Well nobody knows. Kate Sheppard at Grist asks, who are the faces behind FACES of coal?
Grist tried to find out more about FACES, as the website does not list members or funders. The only contact information listed is an email address, and our email inquiry bounced back.
Are there any actual faces behind FACES?

the business of birthday parties
Alice attended her first ever non-relative friend-from-daycare birthday party today. With her parents in tow, 'cause she's only two ya know. It was at this place, and OH MY GOD was insane. Crazy. Chaotic. A place where already-hyper kids on crazy sugar highs run around with NO SHOES ONLY SOCKS and throw their bodies down a three storey-high tunneled slide. Seriously.
But we went for the child's sake and she liked it for the most part. Most of the kids were older than her (4 and up) so she was a little out of her league. But of course she put on a brave face like the girl that she is and tried to keep up the best of them. Things started to turn ugly, however, when she found herself trapped in a crazy maze-like structure. You know those slide structures at McDonald's Playland? Ok - think of those, but maybe to a power of 10. Basically, death tubes. Or SERIOUS INJURY slides. I can not stand them. Why don't they make them see-through at least, so you can actually SEE your child as she is losing her shit when three huge five year olds crawl over her to see who can spit down the slide farthest?
(as you can see, today is brought to you by CAPPED LETTERS)
So, I had to go into emergency rescue mode, crawling up an orange tube trying to coax my scared daughter to come down toward me. While other children are trying to also crawl over me and I'm yelling at them " can you please back off? This little girl needs to COME DOWN." We made it out, of course. Barely, as I described it to Matt later.
Alice got over the near-death experience, though, and was soon gulping down TWO cups of orange pop before I knew what was happening. And then she climbed into the bouncy castle and threw herself around like a chimp on speed. I watched uncomfortably from the sidelines, cringing every time some bigger kids came THISCLOSE to jumping right on her face. Alice's face was pure bliss, as she jumped and jumped with such wild abandonment. I, however, was counting the seconds until we got out of there.
When we finally escaped, loot bag in hand, we sat in the car for a few moments. Just taking in the quiet moment and attempting to get all our heart rates back to normal. I was about to wax poetic to Matt about the horrors of places like that and how they made their business out of bithdays, when Alice piped up from the back seat (chocolate cake in her hair and orange pop smeared all over her face) "Can we go to my birthday party now?
Crap. Four months and counting.

If you haven't noticed I haven't skyped, tweeted, texted, oovoo or facebooked all weekend. Partly due to some hard up fat bastard stealing my cellular (yes I still call it that,) slightly due to my new diet that had me light headed and bed stricken but, mainly due to Jennifer Lopez.
Last Tuesday Mrs. Lopez-Noa-Judd- Anthony (obviously I'm a fan) released her sixth studio album titled.
Do I like the entire album? Eh
Did Dream have to produce darn near the whole LP? No
Is it organized well? Yes
Was the album art kind of played? Of course
Have I been playing it in a constant loop that the neighbors were humming it yesterday in the laundry room? Duh
Will it be more hits for Jenny from the block? The way my back aches from dancing, aye!
Primarily, JLO is twice your favorites' age (41) and has a body and mug that doesn't look a day over 23. Essentially you know I can respect anyone who knows how to manage their midriff and thighs after being
fat pregnant.
Look at those exposed ribs. Just BEAUTIFUL!
Meanwhile I don't think all the exposure of Jenny Lo with endorsements, American Idol and the big promo circuit will help with the sales of this LP…let's face it people don't want a whole album they want a single and a video.
On that she will deliver. Did you see the new video for "I'm Into You" featuring Lil Wayne?
While I do think Wayne is a cleaver lyricists, I do feel adding him to a track don't certify a hit anymore.
But Mrs. Lopez knows better even so, that she knew to keep that black monster out the visual.
Speaking of that visual it was Über Amazing!
Great product placement (you know record labels don't have money for videos anymore people don't buy albums,) banging bodies, haute makeup and I'm sure to have that breakdown routine down by Wednesday and that Lanvin ensemble itself has completely inspired me.
Most delectable tracks…
"Good Hit"
"Run the World"
"I'm Into You"
"Until it Beats No More"
My apologies X-Tina & Trina you have been replaced as my workout music!

Swedish window shopping. Or is it phone shopping?
Anyhow. Apart from the oh so exciting black outdoor cushions, I did see a few cute things. And since this is a really, really busy week with an even busier weekend, I'm just going to show you some bad pics taken with my phone camera and call this a post today... (hey, at least it's got nothing to do with sewing!).
Unlike the black, this insulated bag here is quite bright. Maybe a little too bright for me, but it does look like summer.
This is baby bedding. So cute. Doubt that my boys would go crazy over it though.
Dito for this one. Or maybe I could get away with it, since it has all sorts of paw prints on it. Love it!
Don't you just love those birds?
These little guys I actually got, a set of three tins. I have the previous model and was quite bummed the last time I was there to get more of them and they were sold out. I have to say I like the new ones even better.
I also liked these ones. There are enough cushions on my sofa though. Sigh.
I didn't realize they had started selling that bucket in other colors than cream. Love it.
That planter would look so cool with the black cushions on my porch... But almost 40 EUR for one? I don't think so.
What are your favorite products currently?

Das Blogdesign ist nur ne Blogger Ansichtseinstellung - ich dachte, ich probiere das mal aus. Man bekommt einen besseren Überblick über die Posts. Aber so ganz überzeugt bin ich noch nicht. Was meinst d? Ich überlege schon ob ich wieder umschalte auf normale Ansicht...

1. From the Pioneer Times of an Old Texas PastorSaturday 23 March 2097 at 7:52 pm
This article appeared in Worthy of Double Honor: The Rev G. Birkmnn, D. D. written by his grandson Ray Martens and published by Concordia University Press.
The following account was composed and typed by Gotthilf Birkmann to record his experiences in Fedor and is preserved among papers held by Herbert Birkman. It deals with his impressions of the members of his congregation in the 1870's and 1880's, predominantly Wendish in background, either by way of Serbin in the 1850's or directly from Upper Lusatia more recently. The reader will note that his observations are overwhelmingly complimentary and illustrate the love he had for his congregation in Fedor, which he served for forty three years.
"From the Pioneer Time of an Old Texas Pastor" suggests both its purpose and date in its opening sentence: "to portray memories and impressions" of a time between 1875 and 1890 from the vantage point of the 1920's. Form and content suggest that the writing was intended for publication or some other form of dissemination. Whether or how that may have happened is not known. Maybe this will be its first public appearance. The original is in German, here appended my translation.Read More

Linux Mint 18.2 to Be Dubbed "Sonya," Will Come with Cinnamon 3.4, LightDMMay 01, 2017, 11:00 (0 Talkback[s])

The biggest new features of the upcoming Linux Mint 18.2 "Sonya" operating system will be the Cinnamon 3.4 desktop environment, which is currently in development and promises to introduce big changes, such as that the settings daemon and Nemo file manager will both be split into multiple processes. For the setting daemon, it will help users identify and terminate components of the operating system that have excessive memory or CPU usage without having to reboot the entire system, and Nemo will have two processes, one for the desktop icons and the other for the file manager windows.

Professor and author Thomas Nichols visited campus on Wednesday for a lecture and book signing event titled "US Foreign Policy in the Age of Trump." Nichols' lecture revolved around the previous administration's foreign policy, Russian interference in the 2016 election, and trends in domestic politics.
Nichols, a self-described "Never-Trumper" who voted for Hillary Clinton "with clenched teeth," spoke outside his capacity as professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College to deliver critiques of the Trump administration.
"I'm going to begin by saying there is no Trump foreign policy," Nichols said. "As far as I can tell, there is no emanating idea."
With a weak president, Nichols found it best to examine the cabinet. But former chief strategist Steve Bannon's ideology tells little.
"It's hard to disentangle how much of this is the hatred of the existing foreign policy elite," Nichols said.
Nichols finds disagreement with other cabinet members like Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who Nichols argues adheres to the "Powell Doctrine" of former Secretary of State Colin Powell. Nichols also argues that this idea of "pick your fights carefully" is ill-suited to the reality of international politics.
Nichols harshly criticized current Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's first major steps within the department.
"Your first priority should not be figuring out how to cut the State Department by 30%," Nichols said. "The notion that the State Department needs to be cut is laughable."
Nichols also echoed Senator Bob Corker's (R-TN) recent comments that Tillerson has been "castrated" by Trump, arguing that Tillerson may go down as one the worst Secretaries of State ever because Trump's unpredictability and inconsistency make it impossible for Tillerson to speak for the President abroad.
Nichols did not leave his critiques solely to the Trump administration, connecting some of their predicaments to the Obama Administration.
"I am sympathetic to those, like H.R. McMaster, who believe that eight years of fecklessness was eight years too long," he said. "President Obama set a very low bar, and Trump has limboed right under it… I've never seen American foreign policy fall so far, so fast."
Nichols argued that the Civil War in Syria, Russia's annexation of Crimea, and China's island building are examples of the Obama administration's reluctance for action that carried problems over to the Trump administration.
Nichols' greatest problem with the foreign policy of the Obama administration was the Iran Nuclear Deal, which he labels as "the tree that drops all of the poison fruit."
"A lot of other bad policies were all going back to this one baleful, bad idea," he argued.
Another such criticism was of President Obama's diplomatic pivot to Asia, giving Russian President Vladimir Putin greater influence in Europe.
While Nichols empathizes with "we have to do something" as a response, he believes that the Trump Administration's execution has been incoherent.
"The problem is that saying 'President Obama did not have a good foreign policy' is not itself the basis for a foreign policy, and I think that's all they have right now," Nichols said.
One of Nichols' greatest points of disagreement with the Trump administration is the prominence of military personnel. Nichols sees the enhanced roles of Chief of Staff John Kelly and James Mattis as "watchdogs" of Trump's behavior as dangerous. Nichols emphasized that government should be run by civilians, and said the emerging idea that military officials operate as a crucial balancing force is reprehensible.
"This is a civilian form of government, and it's enshrined in our constitution," Nichols said.
Nichols harbored severe concerns about Kelly's recent speech.
"What Kelly was really saying is the very best Americans are in uniform or underneath headstones in Arlington Cemetery," Nichols said. "I think that's a very unhealthy model for American civil-military relations."
One of Nichols' most grave concerns for the future is Russia's success in undermining Western democracy. Although Nichols believes Russian influence did not change the outcome of the 2016 election, he believes the Russian government's successful campaign of political warfare poses serious risks to North American and European governments.
"The overall goal is to smear the idea of democracy itself," Nichols said. "Because remember the one thing Putin fears more than anything is being overthrown."
Nichols argues that the overarching problem in America's susceptibility is that people tend to obtain their information from one source. He cited Facebook as one example of this and proceeded to expand this indictment to other people who increasingly seek self-affirming information, getting their news from only Fox News or MSNBC.
Nichols fears that Putin's next move, following the annexation of Crimea, is taking a territory within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, further weakening member's confidence in the organization and diminishing the cooperative strength of Western governments.
Discussion afterword brought fiery debate regarding the role of the United States abroad. Nichols advocated for using the United States' military assets for good, often through military intervention. Specifically, Nichols took grievance with mischaracterizations of the Vietnam War, calling it "the Dunkirk of the Cold War" and advocating for the U.S. military to ground the Syrian Air Force in the Civil War.
"We have gotten so used to easy victories that we don't understand that militarily winning is not as important as reconstruction," Nichols said.

Suns hold national anthem tryouts
The Hagerstown Suns will be holding open tryouts for the singing of the national anthem at the Valley Mall on April 5.
Registration for all participants will begin at 9 a.m. in the food court. Auditions will begin at 10.
The auditions are open to all participants age 5 or older. More than one winner will be selected in each of three groups - ages 5-10, ages 11-18, and ages 19 and over - with 60 winners selected overall.
All winners will get to sing the national anthem before a Suns home game this season.
Participants may sing the national anthem either a cappella (without music) or with background music; however, the national anthem at Municipal Stadium must be sung a cappella.
Singers are permitted to try out individually or in groups. If a singer is under 18 years of age, he or she must have a parent or guardian accompanying him or her at the tryouts, and all winners must be able to provide their own transportation to the game.

At least twice in the last week, The Guardian has compared the current slightly flaky Industrial Relations climate with the 1978/9 "Winter of Discontent".
This is the same kind of lazy writing where slightly bossy people are compared to Hitler or where space probes are always compared in size to kitchen appliances.
The situation in this country at the end of the 1970s had a post-nuclear feel :-
* Corpses piling up in Liverpool due to gravedigger strikes, with plans for mass burials at sea.
* Fuel for "emergency" use only, and panels of union members defining what that should be in each area.
* Rubbish not collected for months, with big rotting piles of the stuff in Leicester Square (picture).
* Emergency ambulance service suspended, with the army having to provide some kind of service.
* An appetite for striking such that Union leaders had little control over when strikes started, and in many cases could not bring their members back to work once agreement had been reached.
Does anyone really think this sounds like something that could happen in the UK in 2007 ? Sure, we do have problems, but surely not of the spiralling-into-anarchy variety.
The current problems are likely to be easily smoothed over by the application of a modest amount of money.
You read it here first : Winter 2007/8 is not going to have 30 million lost working days due to strikes, and the government will not fall. There will be only a thin layer of fast-food containers on Leicester Square.
