A few of my friends (okay, maybe one friend) have asked if I’m going to do a book signing for and, while I get a little excited about the thought of people one day mowing each other down to see me, and maybe bringing me beer, I’m not all that organized, and putting together an actual THING so I can scribble in a book sounds exhausting.
But, for those of you who would like a scribbled-in book sent directly to you, here’s the deal: I’m going to do a random drawing of all subscribers on October 31, and an autographed copy to some lucky reader.

Already subscribed? I’m not leaving you out. You’re already entered in the drawing.
This isn’t a real post, but you can still vote.
And I would totally bring you beer. I\’m not fast enough to mow anyone over though. Seriously, my new iPhone Nike app uses GPS instead of the thing on my shoe, and it turns out I\’m a slower runner than I thought. It\’s possible that old people might pass me with walkers.

I was so frustrated the first time I made peppermint creams, and was almost throwing the mixture in the bin, ha ha. So pleased that I stuck with it, because now I have successfully made them a few times, and they just keep getting better on each occasion!
This recipe is certainly not recommended for anyone who suffers diabetes, as it is probably 95% sugar; so with that in mind, ensure you limit the amount of these you give to your kids too…

Turn the icing ball out on to a clean surface, sprinkled with icing sugar.
Now this is the hardest part. Your mint creams are technically ready to eat within 10/15 minutes of resting, however, if you want the “real deal”, you need to wait for up to 24 hours for them to “set” properly.


Going after your dream is a lot like entering a fairy tale. You have to leave the safety of your village and brave the unknown, knowing full well that dangers await you.
Ultimately, there comes the time where the dragon - that seemingly impossible predicament - is met, is challenged, and is overcome. Finally, a reward awaits you on the other side.
Some students like to live in security, mundane living, and quiet no-risk days. They might be happy spending years of their life working at Starbucks. Those people aren’t entrepreneurs. If you want to live your life outside of the security and dullness and boredom of the village, you’ll have to live on the edge of adventure and even, at times, chaos. Every day is fresh. Every day brings a new challenge. This is the life of an entrepreneur. When you watch Bilbo called to adventure, do you long to go with him? Similarly, when the King of Kings calls you to start something new that will influence your generation economically and spiritually, will you respond with an eager heart?
If you’re an entrepreneur at heart, your intuition is telling you now that this is right and you long to travel the path of adventure. However, you long to see more clearly the road that lies ahead. You have to take that first step, and I aim to show you how the dragons can be slain and what rewards await you.

There is a newly released movie called The Death of Stalin. It’s not really about Stalin or his death, but you should see it anyway. One reason is that it’s been banned in Russia; the other, much more important reason, is that it’s really good and really entertaining (in a really grim way).

What a fantastic way to head into the Christmas Break: scientists-in-school workshops, dress down day, a Beaver Tail treat, and gift basket deliveries!From everyone at Northmount, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!
We rounded off last week with an epic Christmas party!Even with all of the Covid protocols, the boys had an epic afternoon of scavenger hunts, crafts, games, hot chocolate, Santa's grotto and so much more!This wonderful event was organized and run by some of our truly amazing parents; thank you Ann, Julie, Yvonne, and your whole team for the many hours of planning and coordination-it is truly appreciated!
***Click here to watch a thank you video from the students!
Although Covid protocols prevent us from gathering together for our daily assembly, we still come together each morning by linking our classrooms via a our Smart boards. As part of this, the boys wanted to create their own music video to be used when we sing, O'Canada. With thanks to their very talented music teacher, Mr Savidge, we are pleased to share this video with you now. We hope you enjoy!
Under the guidance of Mr. Kurek, the student's of Northmount were encouraged to put themselves forward for one of the leadership positions on Student Council. These positions include: Head Boy, Deputy Head Boy, Treasurer, House Captain, and Class Representative. Regardless of the position, each of these roles comes with much responsibility. The campaign trail involved the production of posters and videos, live speeches, debates and Q&A sessions. Throughout all of this it was clear that no matter what the outcome, our Student Council would be in very good hands!Well done to all involved!
We' everyone of the students who come to school each day to try their best!
The Fall is such a beautiful time of the year!Under the direction of our terrific Art teacher, Mrs. Del Grosso, the boys have been working on some amazing projects already. The tie-dye was particularly popular, especially when we got to have school wide tie-dye dress down day!
The Knight's Basketball Team are having a fantastic season so far with back to back victories last week. They are hoping for further strong performances under the leadership of Team Captain Sachin and our terrific coaches Mr. Douglas and Mr. Kurek. Go Knights Go!
- what a terrific way to close out the term!We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a can't wait to see everyone again in the New Year...
Last Friday, the students of Northmount School presented their Christmas concert. With performances by our choirs (Primary, Junior, Senior and Honour) and drumline, the friends and family of Northmount were treated to an amazing night of festive entertainment. Well done to all of the boys, whether performing, tech crew, or set design - you did a terrific job...
After Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, now is the chance to give back!As Northmount strives to educate our young men, with Christian virtues at our core, we welcome your support. Thank you in advance!

Democrats were dealt a devastating defeat in the Virginia governor's race, further erodpolitical standing and reinforcis continuing clout.
Republican, a private equity executive, defeated forD) in a state Biden easily carried last year and that Democrats have governed for most of this century. Youngkin basically embraced Trump, who — while staying out of the state — made numerous appeals in the closing days.
In a shocker, the New Jersey gubernatorial race was almost dead even. Even if incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy ekes out a win — much of the remaining votes are in Democratic counties — the race wasn't supposed to be close. Instead, Republicans significantly improved their vote in the suburbs, a promising omen for them in next year's congressional races.
Overall, the perceived message from yesterday may be that Democrats have moved too aggressively left.
Biden's declining popularity and congressional Democrats’ infighting and inability, so far, to pass promised legislation contributed to McAuliffe's defeat. The Democratic Congress still may pass a big domestic infrastructure and social spending bill. The president, though, has less leverage: Witness that he went all-out for McAuliffe, who had served an earlier term as governor.
The Youngkin victory adds to Republican optimism about next year and to a conviction that any collateral political damage from then — or from the Trump-inspired Jan. 6 mob assault on the Capitol — has dissipated.
The Democrats' efforts to make the election a referendum on Trump, to tar Youngkin with that association, failed. Trump, while not campaigning with Youngkin, loudly proclaimed his support for the Republican candidate, and he ginned up his base in a state where he twice was clobbered. Youngkin ran even better than expected in more rural Republicans areas, while cutting into Democrats’ strength in the suburbs.
Predictably, the ex-president is claiming credit for the outcome.
The campaign may be a model for Republicans in competitive races: Run as a less incendiary Trump, still identifying with him and his policies.
That was Youngkin — trying to present as a respectable Trump, associating with most of his views, but not his vitriol. Youngkin acknowledged that Biden won the presidency, but called for election audits.
Initially he stressed his success as the former co-CEO of the big private equity firm, Carlyle, although Bloomberg News reported that actually he “flamed out” as co-CEO and was to be replaced as he decided to run for governor.
As the campaign progressed, Youngkin turned more to hot button issues, such as guns, and openly played the race card as he denounced teaching the so-called critical race theory, which actually isn't taught in Virginia public schools. He capitalized on a McAuliffe verbal gaffe that parents shouldn't be “telling schools what they should teach.” He ran a commercial from one supporter who didn't want the school to require her son to read Toni Morrison's acclaimed novel, “Beloved,” about the agonies of a female slave.
Youngkin was caught privately telling a conservative group he would move aggressively to roll back abortion rights — but wouldn't talk about it until after he was elected. He also navigated a delicate line on the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting vaccinations while opposing mandates.
Vowing to cut taxes and slash regulations, Youngkin promises to be a very pro-business governor. The state already gets high marks for being business friendly.
The implications of this race for next year's midterms are already evident. It fuels the sense that 2022 will be a Republican year; Democrats fear that will affect the recruitment of candidates for open or competitive House seats. The prospect of being in the majority is more attractive.
This still is a prime time in getting new candidates, with the completion of redistricting in most states.
The political climate also might impact retirements: 13 House Democrats have said they won't run for re-election, including several in competitive districts; four of them are seeking higher office; so far, 10 House Republicans plan not to seek another term.
In Virginia, this is the fifth time in the last six elections that the party not in the White House has won the governor's contest the year after the presidential contest. Ironically, the only exception was in 2013 when McAuliffe was first elected.
The record is a little more mixed on serving as a harbinger for the midterm elections. In three of the past five gubernatorial elections, the winning party has also been triumphant in the next congressional races.


) that Apple was headed down this path, making it a threat to Google’s business model and market. We do know, as Geoduck has pointed out above, that this huge centre is coming online.
2) Seamless interplay (not necessarily a merger or hybrid) of the successor to the current Mac OS and the iOS, with perhaps cross-pollinisation of function for both; specifically touch capacity on the Mac OS, greater Mac-like functionality (productivity and video apps) on the iOS. If cross-pollinisation does happen, I suspect that Apple will be selective about those functions, paying close attention to how people currently and are likely in the near future to use both systems.
3) Migrating the computer further away from the keyboard. Not suggesting that we are about to move to Star Trek - like voice interfaces, but many of our repetitive actions, like launching applications, opening files, even reading can be ported to a new interface, such as voice. Freeing our hands to do more fine work (data analysis, photoshop, etc).
4) Under-the-hood (or bonnet, depending on your side of the pond) enhancements, including security enhancements, making computers more resilient to cybercrime or undesirable behaviours (e.g. the anti-sexting algorithm Apple have patented)
These are just a few general ideas. As for a new naming scheme, I don’t particularly care, so long as they steer away from cattle (no pun intended) or landscapes. I like the astronomy-related suggestions.
Although they could reduce OS size and name it after something small and lethal in the house cat genre, like ‘Siamese’. I am inclined to concur with Bryan Chaffin’s comment above, that they could keep the lion lineage going for years.
wab95. Lion will be the fuel for future PC’s needed in science, business, the creative field, movies, graphic work, etc… I’m not sure there will be a lot of integration of the great things in mobile devices such as touch commands since the applications that need all that horsepower work best with traditional input devices like mice and keyboards. iOS is based on Mac OS X as everyone knows and we wouldn’t have iOS without Mac OS X. The brilliance of a touch interface is when you are not at home or at work you will always have your most basic tool for input, your fingers. I don’t see Mac OS X’s need to add touch to the extent to make keyboards obsolete. What I do expect to see is Lion bring interface changes that are based on the iOS. When the iPad was release one ad mentioned “you already know how to use it” meaning the iPhone and its super intuitive interface takes the mystery and learning curve away for the masses. I’m very excited to see what Lion has up its sleeve..
One can interpret that to underscore that these will remain distinct entities serving different functions, and neither the twain shall meet. On the other, today we have ‘crossovers’ - vehicles with a truck-like chassis atop a car-like axle. Given how people have begun using the iOS devices, and given Apple’s penchant for integrated systems, I would not bet against tighter integration over time; which is not an argument for merger or replacement, but that the two distinct OSs function together more seamlessly than at present.
I have always assumed that the last cat would be the penultimate, the lion.
I don’t quite understand that statement. “Penultimate” means “last but one,” so how does that fit in to your projection?
Does anyone here remember what Jobs said when asked what he would do if he came back to Apple?
He said that he would milk the Mac for all it was worth, and then go on to the next big thing.
Doesn’t it seem as though that’s exactly what he’s doing?
If Apple could meld OS X with iOS, considering that the majority of both are already the same, they would have the UOS, the Universal Operating System. This would allow the same OS to appear on all of Apple’s computing devices from the iPod Touch to the Mac Pro.
Each machine could have as the default UI whatever is most suitable, with the ability to use whatever elements from either UI, either modaly, depending on the program being used, and or per the settings in prefs. In addition, depending on the physical angle of the monitor, additional abilities would appear.
This would be of great benefit to Apple as well as its customers, as development would be simpler, with one main team, rather than two. It would benefit customers, as there would be one OS for everything, with all features available whenever wanted.
As handheld mobile devices get much more powerful processing capability, with much more RAM and Flash, even a phone will be able to do much more. We see that already with the movie editing app.
I expect to see handoffs of jobs and data from one machine to another as we move around and change devices on the fly. Perhaps we would do a quick field edit on an iPad, moving to our desktop back at the studio, with a result downloaded to out iPhone to quickly show a client.
The possibilities are almost endless if one OS is all that’s needed. </s> Hello Conselho Ubuntu Brasil, Daniel Flores SantAnna (danielfs8) renewed their own membership in the Ubuntu Brazilian Documentation Team (ubuntu-br-doc) team until 2016-12-2zilian Documentation Teamdon't like muslims .ok? and don't bother with the islamaphobia bull shit I'm happy and proud to be deplorable

This is cool and all, but aren’t there already plenty of things like this out there? Haha. Also, I personally think that learning things like this is a waste of time!
This has something that’s caused me problems before! But, I’m just a student as well, so I’m unsure of whether these things actually work or not.
This is actually the situation for Coding/Programming and the more ‘technical’ disciplines. What studies have shown, and my own Department’s experience, is that systems like these (heavily visual, drag and drop, cut n paste things) do improve performance for the courses that they’re used for… but further performance for those students, in subsequent courses, drops significantly, when compared with students who are just thrown into a standard IDE and made to get to grips with Java/C++ from the off. The students that use these visual systems are unprepared for when they (eventually) have to actually grasp a language and ‘pure’ coding. It’s a false benefit that they get from it.
But, I don’t think that’s a problem here. Like you say, this is geared towards writing, and, as Ricc says below, the people learning with this probably aren’t going to be going away and coding… or, this isn’t what they’ll be using to learn programming.
But, if you then follow up with these students on the next course(s) in programming, where the Visual environment is dropped (they do suffer from things like the Deutsch limit etc), they are consistently outperformed by students that started initially in the Text IDE, and didn’t learn with the Visual system.
(emphasis mine). Perhaps, in order to learn s’ware engineering/coding, learning the computer specific concepts is important. By trying to use this ‘friendly environment’ you’re missing out on that.
I’ll just add that this is all focussed on University age/level. I think these things could have great efficacy for younger students.
20/12/2012 at 16:16 Bart Stewart says:
Someone who has the programmer gene will find a way to code effectively in any language. Making those first steps enjoyable seems wise to me.
Incidentally, we’ve been working on a commercial tool inspired by Scratch called Storybricks. We’re currently retooling it, but we got a fair bit of positive response from those who tried the demo.
20/12/2012 at 16:17 Justin Keverne says:
 a good starting point. Students who have learnt how to implement game logic in something like this could transfer those skills to Kismet or another visual scripting language.
More games get made, more people get to make games. I think that’s a net win, man.
That people use these things in large numbers and we’re seeing a rebirth of home coding on an unprecedented scale, isn’t that study enough that they’re useful?
20/12/2012 at 16:44 Ryan Huggins says:
Considering I’m a student at college for game design, some of these developments may directly effect me! I’m just wondering how many developers themselves find these things useful. For example, I do not. Regardless, it seems like the guys that frequent RPS do, at least. Haha
20/12/2012 at 16:57 Unaco says:
I’d think, much like use of similar systems for coding/programming, the quality of what’s produced using these systems would be of concern, rather than just quantity, for any sort of measure of their efficacy. Also, do the people that use these systems then have no problems if they do eventually move on to more powerful systems.
20/12/2012 at 17:06 RobF says:
Useful for what though? Getting people into making games? Yes, they’re absolutely useful for that. Unequivocally so. Useful for transitioning people into more advanced languages? Sometimes! It doesn’t really matter, to be honest. Useful for building things in studios? This particular example, probably not so much as Scratch is more likely to slow the process down than help in any discernible way, stuff like Gamemaker though? Yes, entirely, more so now with Studio and its cross platform building capabilities. If it’s good enough for Curve and other studios who prototype using it, what you’ve learned in 8.1 is good enough to put games together with, right?
Kids are able to work with Logo but I wouldn’t want to write my game in it, yeah? Does that mean Logo isn’t useful? For me, yes. For the kid? Totally not! It’s a great tool for teaching. Step up from Logo and you have Scratch/Kodu/Stencil and other things that build on or around Scratch and Scratch-esque systems and so it goes.
Once you’re beyond that, utility is very much down to what you want to achieve and how your mind copes with constructing stuff and to a large degree, best tool for the best job. Not all games are 3d extravaganzas, not everyone aspires to that and thank cock for that! That’s where Twine, Inform, Processing, Gamemaker, Construct, GLBasic, Blitz, Monkey, DBPro, Flixel and all the myriad of options come in and they’re all immensely valuable because they -all- allow people to contribute to and widen our gaming ecosystem and bring their voices in hopefully at a level they’re comfortable with.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that everyone who uses tools like these wants to eventually transition into ‘real’ programming. Becoming a coder is not the inevitable end goal of wanting to make games.
Choosing to learn code properly means not spending that time learning more about game design or art, or any number of other things you may be interested in.
You think GameMaker is bad? Guys, I learned to program with Klik & Play. I maintain fundamentals of logic: if x then y. As a 10 year old, this was a big deal.
I went to university and got a Comp Sci degree. My day job is software development. I don’t think I’d be here if it weren’t for Klik & Play teaching me the fundamentals of logic.

Still the Venn diagram of people who know to code well and people who know to make the gameplay fun is an intersection not an union. :)
This is meant for people without programming experience. As far as I understood it, the students using the tool will not necessarily go on and start developing software after this. Teaching them to program “the hard way” would not accomplish much here.

The tool looks great, but I must say I’m quite surprised to know that Deus Ex was written by someone who actually teaches writing – the story in all three games had a distinctively placeholder feeling to it.
The later games were a bit more about the mechanics. But even in those I could see the effort being made to offer a story about choice. How could they have been improved so that they didn’t feel so placeholder to you?
It’s interesting, the balance of the game is done excellently, with nice layers and points on either side, especially as you see the flaws of the nsf long before you have any second thoughts about them, the extra books of various kinds are also good, even if they do make you imagine moon bases a little too much.
The game is always both very clever and very silly, and that constant combination is part of it’s charm, but you can imagine a game that got the silly parts and made them more plausible, DX:HR for example has lower standards in background ideological complexity, and more consistent standards of quality for voices and lines.

Personally, I think RPS should make their own AAA-selling games before criticizing other people’s!

I actually teach Scratch to 4th and 5th (9 and 10 year olds) grade students. They quickly pick it up and make some truly interesting games. It helps to spark interest in programming and game design. This is really a great extension of that program.
20/12/2012 at 17:54 frightlever says:
You can get cheap and free placeholder art assets (the real bottle-neck for most projects), and drag and drop programming – the barrier to making a game has been lowered substantially and is getting lower all the time. That has to be a good thing.

From what I’ve seen of BYOB / Scratch etc, Construct 2 (which I’ve used a fair bit) seems not only more powerful and efficient, but also easier and more straightforward to use. I’d have to give the aforementioned engines a proper go though to fairly compare them.

Throughout the 21st century, myriads of industries have been changing. Between tech companies growing more powerful and implementing artificial intelligence, to local businesses using social media to reach out to customers, much has changed in the past few decades. One entity that many businesses have been changing in recent years is becoming more environmentally-friendly. This is excellent, because as the threat of climate change becomes more of a reality, it is important to become greener as a society. One industry that has been making strides to become more green is air travel.

A physical shutdown defenseman with great peripheral stats but limited offensive upside.
April 2016 – Mironov played in 40 KHL games this season, where he set a career-high in points with 13 (three goals, ten assists). Fortunately, offence is not why Colorado believes he shows promise – the big defender is a crushing force as a shut-down specialist. He has representd Team Russia in U20 and U19 World Junior Championships, and given his expiring contract with Dynamo he may have the option t. The Avalanche have a wealth of defenseman close to making the jump to pro, so Mironov is no sure-thing to be seen in the NHL soon. When he does earn a shot, he may become of fringe value in leagues counting hits and blocks, yet surprisingly does not accumulate many penalty minutes.


ALLENTOWN, Pa. - The Lehigh County Conference of Churches (LCCC) and the board of the Allentown/ Lehigh County 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness used art to spread awareness of local homelessness issues at their public exhibit at Sacred Heart Hospital on Wednesday night.Rev. Dr. Christine Nelson, executive director of LCCC, showcased her photography of the homeless and their living circumstances. A collection of poems by Russell Valentini, homeless education liaison with the Allentown School District, was also displayed alongside the photography at the exhibit."My job feels like I've walked into some other world I never thought could exist in the United States," said Valentini. "But now we have students going to college, we've had quarterbacks, we even had a class president a few years back."


Bedbugs are a fact of urban life, and a growing problem for residents in communal environments. As the bedbug epidemic mushrooms—1 in 15 New Yorkers had bedbugs in the l—the likelihood of having bedbug encounters grows significantly each year.Co-ops and condos are not immune, no matter the neighborhood. Before World War II, an estimated 30 to 40 percent of buildings in New York City had bedbug issues, and the current bedbug epidemic looks like it will reach that level.Management companies and boards do not have a lot of time to discuss how to handle bedbug issues once these insects are reported or suspected of taking up residence. Having a protocol in place for dealing with bedbugs is vital to ensure a prompt and effective response. Providing residents a protocol, as well as educational material, shows them how seriously the issue is being taken.A proper protocol includes proactive and reactive components such as prevention, early detection, response times, pre-treatment preparation, remediation strategies, and budgeting.Prevention and early detection protocols include educating residents about bedbugs and their signs and inspections by bedbug detection dogs.Impeding and eliminating bedbug infestations involve complex and cooperative processes that require residents’ vigilance and assistance. The building’s protocol should:• Educate residents on best practices to avoid bringing these pests into the building.• Encourage residents to report bedbug activity.• De-stigmatize the issue as bedbugs are not related to socioeconomic status or cleanliness.• Explain that the elimination process is extended, detailed, and demanding: multiple treatments two weeks apart are required;A bedbug protocol should detail that managing agents and boards will:• Keep records of complaints and make efforts to track the source of an infestation.• Institute a building-wide prevention program that includes the avoidance of unnecessary risks such as purchases of used furniture, and the removal of furniture from an infested unit without proper precautions.• Constantly watch for this problem.• Commit to ongoing communications with residents and staff.InspectionsBecause finding bedbugs is so difficult, having a protocol in place that much more important. The search for a bedbug is analogous to trying to find a moving needle in a haystack. A newly hatched bedbug is 1mm in size (the size of the tip of a ball point pen) and translucent. The eggs are also 1mm in size and have a pearly translucent appearance. A non-engorged bedbug is as thin as a fingernail. A bedbug can grow to be 5mm, the size of an apple seed. The bedbugs’ small size enables them to hide deep in cracks and crevices, on any item.Any co-op or condo protocol should address inspections, how they are to be performed and their frequency. It should address proactive inspections as well as rules for inspections when bedbugs are found or suspected. A protocol details if neighboring units are to be inspected if bedbugs are found in one unit. The goal is to have as few surprises as possible about the process.Protocols should address if, when and how to use bedbug-sniffing canines. Although there is no tool that is 100 percent accurate at finding low level infestations of bedbugs, trained detection dogs are the most accurate tool available. Dogs were proven to be 95 to 98 percent accurate in university studies, where a trained person is at best 40 percent effective at finding bedbugs when there are low-level infestations.Trained bedbug dogs are the tool of choice to determine if bedbugs are present when a board or managing agent wants to determine if there are undetected problems in a building. Canine inspections can prove cost effective by locating bedbuthe total treatment area of the building, and in turn lowering the cost.There are no steadfast rules for the frequency or breadth of preventative canine inspections. Each board and/or managing agent needs to determine how proactive it wants to be.When Bedbugs Are ReportedAny building’s bedbug protocol should spell out how quickly building management and affected residents need to respond to bedbug reports with inspections and treatments. A bedbug infestation is analogous to a leaky pipe, which, if not fixed, can quickly damage other nearby units. Solving a large infestationa limited one.The protocol should also address:• The methodology for bedbug remediation. The treatment method should be consistent throughout the building. Labor-intensive physical solutions such as freezing (vs. chemicals) are recommended to solve issues. bedbugs are resistant, if not immune to most pesticides; at least a small portion of unit owners will take issue with chemical treatment for health reasons.• That getting complete treatments to solve problems are not negotiable. Piecemeal solutions such as furniture disposal of an affected mattress or piece of furniture are not acceptable substitutes.• That the resident must cooperate by preparing the home. A unit that is not packed and cleaned in advance significantly decreases the efficacy of the bedbug treatment.• That multiple treatments are necessary due to the biology of these insects.Having well-considered policies, in the form of a protocol is smart building management and vital to combatting the accelerating bedbugCooperator of New York in April 2011.

I was looking forward to writing this May column. The. The first week of May is always celebrated as Nurse’s week. I was looking forward to special celebrations as the Year of the Nurse would also be recognized.
Never did I expect that members of the nursing profession would be on the front lines of a deadly pandemic. I was proud to be a nurse, but now I admire all in the profession in a special way.
Many are working out of their specialties, which is stressful, but now they are also placing their lives at risk. Nurses are not only at the bedside providing care but are now surrogate family to their patients during this frightening experience. Nurses are not alone and our surrounded by wonderful teams of doctors, respiratory therapist, technicians and aids. Everyone working in a hospital setting are unsung heroes.
May is also the month in which we honor Fallen Police Officers. These commemorations have been cancelled this year. Our Police, Fire and EMTs are also on the front lines of this pandemic. They have been on the frontlines of many of our National tragedies. They truly are the Finest and the Bravest of Americans.
We also celebrate Memorial Day in May. This year there probably will not be our usual remembrance. There will be many Memorials to come. Many of us have lost friends or family members to illnesses and this virus. We were not able to come together and mourn with their family members. Another unsung hero is our Funeral Directors dealing with families during this challenging time.
I am very proud to be living in Ohio. Our Ohio leadership took a stand early in fighting this pandemic. We may not have been happy when our St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations were canceled; this was the correct thing to do. I believe that St. Patrick was looking out for us.
We have seen how large gatherings help spread this virus. We have helped slow the spread. We have listened to our Governor De Wine, Lt Gov. Husted and Dr. Acton. They present the facts honestly and involve us in joining the fight. They recognize those in the community that are also frontlines, such as those working in our grocery stores. Stay Home Save Lives; let’s flatten that curve and help each other.
In May, we also honor our mothers and our Heavenly Mother, Mary. Our Blessed Mother is helping us in this challenging time. Although our Churches are closed, we can still pray the Rosary and participate in the Mass.
Our Priest need our prayers as their ministry now has many challenges. They cannot physically be with us or those dying to administer the sacraments. We are experiencing a similar experience to our ancestors did during the Penal Times. Our ancestors were not allowed to celebrate the Mass and found a way to celebrate at Mass Rocks.
We are blessed that although we cannot come together as a community in our Churches, Masses are celebrated on TV, Facebook, Zoom etc. I know we all look forward to celebrating again with our Parish Families.

Today I feel like discussing the subject of “old age”.
Much of what I write about comes to me by reading numerous studies on countless subjects many of which talk about the aging process. For instance, many news articles today discuss the subject related to ‘at what point in life a person is considered old.’ It doesn’t take much thought to realize that answers to that question are primarily dependent upon the age of the person being asked the question.
For instance, if you asked a group of youngsters – with the key word here being “youngsters” - when someone was considered old – chances are those youngsters would probably say individuals in their late teens would qualify as being old. Similarly, it would not surprise me that young adults (late twenties up to say mid-thirties) might consider 50 as the magic number when it comes to becoming a member of the “old “generation.
But then again – ask someone in their early sixties and they would probably respond that they themselves would not even begin to think about being old until they reached their seventies. See where I am going with this? If we asked someone in their 70’s chances are they would say old doesn’t happen until one reaches 80 and so forth and so on.
So much on the topic of being or getting old! Fact of the matter and the point I am trying to make is just this: You are only as old as you make yourself.
Comments for Old Age
Your'e as old as you feel
What about Jack Lalane? He was still active and doing all he'd done much earlier when he reaced 90. He died at 96 but never stopped being active until the day he died.


Much like the American celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, the festivities of Cinco de Mayo are less about the historical meaning behind the date, and more about celebrating heritage, including plenty of Mexican-inspired food.
Local Mexican restaurants have page after page of delicious-sounding dishes. However, regardless of what you order, when the waiter walks to the next table carrying a sizzling skillet of fajita fixins, you will immediately regret ordering anything but. The fajita isn’t always something that comes to mind when cooking one’s own Mexican food at home, unless a packet of seasoning is involved. Prepared boxes and kits aren’t necessary for a satisfying fajita dinner if you just have a few ingredients in your pantry.
Fajitas are more Tex-Mex in origin than strictly Mexican. It is said that American cowboys would give the less desirable pieces of slaughtered cattle to the Mexican cattle hands as part of their pay. Included was a cut of meat called the “skirt steak.” Skirt steak, similar to flank steak, is prized more for its flavor than its tenderness. The cut is easily marinated, quickly cooked, and thinly sliced against the grain, meaning the knife should cut perpendicular to the lines of the meat. Although these cuts of meat were originally considered cheaper, less-desirable pieces of meat, today they have grown in popularity and price.
Squash Ribbon and Seared Steak Fajitas
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil, plus more for searing
1 1/2 pounds steak, such as flank, skirt, or top sirloin
1 bell pepper: ribs and seeds removed; thinly sliced
Use a mandolin or spiralizer to slice the squash or zucchini into thin ribbons. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together oregano, cumin, chile powder, cayenne, lime juice, and tequila. While whisking, slowly drizzle in oil to combine. Transfer to a ziptop bag and add the steak.
Refrigerate at room temperature for up to 4 hours or up to overnight. If refrigerating, bring to room temperature before cooking.
Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes. Once very hot, add a little canola oil to the pan. Remove the steak from the reserving marinade. Place the steak in the pan and let cook completely undisturbed until cooked about half way to desired temperature. For example, if medium doneness is desired, cook until the color of the sides of the meat has changed from red to brown about 1/3 way up. Flip only once to finish cooking. Transfer from the pan to a plate and tent with foil. Set aside to rest for at least 5 minutes. Once the meat has rested, use a sharp, non-serrated knife to thinly slice against the grain of the meat.
Adding more oil as needed, place the onions in the pan, scraping up any bits left on the bottom of the pan. Stir to coat then let cook undisturbed until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and repeat with the peppers. Remove from the pan and add the squash ribbons. Once the squash has slightly softened, return the onions and peppers to the pan, along with about 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade. Bring to a slight simmer and toss in the sliced meat.
Divide among the warm tortillas and serve.

Search UNT holds off New Mexico State for Sun Belt title
DENTON  Kevin Galbreath rushed for 175 yards, and North Texas forced four fourth-quarter turnovers as the Mean Green rallied to beat New Mexico State 38-27 Saturday and win the Sun Belt Conference title.
The Mean Green (6-5, 5-0) have won 10 consecutive conference games and on Dec. 17.
New Mexico State (6-5, 4-1) would have ended a 42-year bowl drought with a victory.
With North Texas trailing 27-24, Taylor Casey forced Paul Dombrowski's fumble that Adrian Awasom recovered. On the next play, Galbreath gave North Texas the lead for good on a 19-yard touchdown run with 9:34 left.
The Aggies then drove to the Mean Green 10, but Don McGee intercepted Dombrowski's pass in the end zone to end the threat.
New Mexico State had one final chance when it took over at its own 15. But Brandon Kennedy recovered Buck Pierce's fumble at the Aggies 1. Andrew Smith scored from there with 2:55 remaining to put the game away.
The Aggies took their last lead early in the fourth quarter when Dombrowski hit H.B. Briscoe on a 57-yard touchdown pass.
Dombrowski was 7-of-9 for 139 yards and two touchdowns.
Pierce was 11-of-17 for 180 yards and a touchdown.
Briscoe had 105 yards receiving, and P.J. Winston added 101.
Galbreath became the first North Texas s.
New Mexico State, which led 20-14 at halftime, gained 440 yards against a North Texas defense that hadn't allowed a point in 12 quarters.
Hawaii 33 Rice 28
HOUSTON  Timmy Chang passed for 369 yards and two touchdowns, and Hawaii stopped Rice on fourth down from the Warriors' 11-yard line with 8 seconds left to preserve the win.
Chang connected on 35 of 64 passes for Hawaii (8-2, 7-1 Western Athletic Conference).
Marcus Battle led Rice (4-7, 3-5) with a 54-yard touchdown catch and a 60-yard TD run.
Greg Henhit Battle with the 54-yard score with 4:34 left to get Rice within five points.
The Owls got the ball back, but Houston Ala stopped Henderson for a 1-yard loss on fourth down.
Hawaii took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, on a 4-yard run by Thero Mitchell. The Owls answered with a 4-yard touchdown run by Robbie Beck, then took a 14-7 lead on Beck's 32-yard run with 3:11 left in the half.
Chang passed 8 yards to Jeremiah Cockheran midway through the third quarter to give the Warriors a 16-14 lead. Just 57 seconds later, Chang hit Britton Komine with a 17-yard TD pass for a 23-14 lead.
Rice cut the deficit to 23-21 on a 60-yard touchdown run by Battle with 6:45 left in the third period, but the Warriors got a 21-yard field goal by Justin Ayat and 3-yard TD run by Mitchell to move ahead 33-21.

Editor’s note: We worked with one of Verblio’s (formerly BlogMutt) amazing writers, Janelle B., on this series of four posts to give a good, concrete idea of the kind of content you can expect at each of BlogMutt’s word counts: 300+, 600+, 1,000+, and 1,500+ words per post.
This series focuses on samples from the healthcare/medical industry specifically, all focused on the same keyword across every word length: patient blood management.
What follows here is a brief, 505-word overview of Janelle’s process and how she approached each length of post.
Regardless of blog length, my goal as a writer is to provide the client with unique, valuable content. Whether the blog is 250 words or 1200 words, clients must receive substantive content, no filler.
Here is a brief description of my thought process for each blog length, specifically related to the healthcare series.
The 900-word blog illustrates the benefits of PBM, originally noted in the 250-word piece. However, the additional length allowed me to expand the benefits of PBM to six bullets, and include highlights from the research and quotes from reputable sources. Each bullet title was expanded to a call-to-action as opposed to a short phrase, as seen in the 250-word blog.
The 1200-word blog detailed just how a medical organization can implement a PBM plan. I saved this content for the longest blog because it’s a topic that requires a lot of content to be fully informative. Medical facilities needed to know about preventive measures, pharmaceuticals and medical devices in order to get the full picture. The expanded length allowed me to include case studies and research.
In my opinion, healthcare topics benefit from the three longer blog lengths. Research can always be included with links to outside sources to save space. However, the longer lengths allow you to highlight to readers exactly what they need to know from the research. The 250-word piece may direct readers where to go for research, but it makes them wade through text to find the key points.
If your purpose is to become a trusted source of information to potential clients, you need a blog that allows space for your commentary. In essence, do the work for your readers. Provide the links for back-up, but use the necessary amount of space to make the point and establish your online reputation.

Hattiesburg American - C-USA still in search of hoops respect
C-USA still in search of hoops respect
By Patrick Magee • March 21, 2010
CONFERENCE USA didn’t exactly have a grand showing at the NCAA Tournament this season.
Both UTEP and Houston were bumped in the first round by Butler and Maryland, respectively. With the early exit, the league still finds itself in search of respect.
It was definitely a positive for the league that two teams entered the field rather than just one. But C-USA teams will have to pull off some big non-conference wins next year if the league is going to secure multiple bids again.
UAB, Memphis, Southern Miss, UTEP and Marshall have to be considered the league’s top five teams headed into the offseason.
But the fortunes for UTEP and Marshall could change if some of their players decide to jump to the NBA.
Marshall’s Hassan Whiteside, a talented shot-blocker, is predicted by some to be a top 10 pick in the NBA Draft. UTEP could be missing a pair of important pieces to the puzzle if Derrick Caracter and Arnett Moultrie also decide to go pro.
Memphis rebound
Making the biggest leap in talent next season will be Memphis with coach Josh Pastner possibly bringing in the best class of signees in the nation. It doesn’t appear that the Tigers will be relegated to the NIT again anytime soon if Pastner continues to recruit at such a high level.
The team that will take the biggest drop in C-USA is probably Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane weren’t particularly deep this season but still managed to get 23 wins thanks to Jerome Jordan and Ben Uzoh. Both of those players have used up their eligibility.
Justin Hurtt is a talented guard for the Golden Hurricane, but it’s unlikely that he will have the support necessary to allow Tulsa to compete with the top teams in Conference USA.
Southern Miss coach Larry Eustachy said that Gary Flowers is “definitely” returning for his senior season and that means he will be among the five best players in Conference USA next year.
Flowers, UTEP’s Randy Culpepper, Elliot Williams of Memphis and UAB’s Elijah Millsap will be the players in the running for preseason C-USA Player of the Year. Whiteside and Caracter could also be in that mix if they decide to come back next year.
Despite its poor showing in the postseason, C-USA was definitely a deeper league this season. There was a good deal of parity between the league’s top eight teams, and the same should be expected next year.
It’s now a matter of teams like Rice, Tulane, East Carolina showing improvement.
It’s unlikely the Pirates will be able to show immediate progress with a change at head coach and Tulane coach Dave Dickerson will have to find some help in the post if the Green Wave are to improve on just three league wins.
SMU and Rice appear ready to make the most significant improvement as a part of the league’s bottom five teams while UCF is hoping to hit a home run with a new coaching hire.


« What vet Note is one of the few clubs I’ve ever seen in the world where the public customer service number rings directly through to the owner of the club. However, the owner stops answering that public number at about 5pm, although she takes calls to her private number around the clock. If you don’t have her number, I’m not going to give it to you, but if you do, you’ve got a special pass to last-minute reservations.

Almost all of their revenue comes from food and drink, and out of that, it’s mostly alcohol. Unlike the genres of country, blues and rock, the amount of money patrons spend on alcohol in a jazz club is minuscule. Stating your intentions for dinner and/or drinks can potentially get you a priority status over those who plan to come in and order a soft drink or bottled water.


HOME / Pantanal
The main access cities for a visit of the Pantanal are Cuiabá in state of Mato Grosso (Northern Pantanal) and Campo Grande in Mato Grosso do Sul (Southern Pantanal). The Northern Pantanal is a slightly higher land, you can see lot of species, this is the best place to see wild jaguars, the Transpantaneira road cross the Pantanal for 150km and it's considered a Park Road. In the Southern Pantanal the wetland environment is more intense, here you can see colourful parrots, toucans, macaws, caiman, monkeys, giant otters, giant anteaters, and many more besides.

ial cells responding to stress conditions (at the end of a 20 hour experiment in calendar time). The `competence' networks of interest decide cell fate in a stochastic fashion and have attracted considerable attention, not least as a model of differentiation. However, these networks are regulated by upstream quorum signaling and this regulation has not been studied quantitatively---it turns out to be essential for understanding the wild-type design, not only to model the networks stochastically, but also to allow for fluctuations from the upstream signaling.
\subsection*{Robustness to extrinsic fluctuations from upstream signaling constrains the design of cell fate networks}
We study the decision to enter competence (for uptake of extracellular
DNA) by the model organism\textit{ Bacillus subtilis.} It is well established \cite{Maamar:2007,Suel:2006ea,Suel:2007gp} that the source of differentiation of 10-20\% of the cell population
under stress conditions is fluctuations in transcription of the master competence regulator, ComK.
The ComS-MecA-ComK competence module is regulated by the
activated transcription factor pComA, the output of the transduction
mechanism relaying extracellular, quorum sensing signals (CSF and
ComX), see Fig.~3A. We study the effect of this upstream signaling on differentiation into the competent phenotype.
A useful approachsystems biology is to rewire networks found in nature and compare function with the wild-type, which can then shed light on why apparently similar network structures were not adopted naturally \cite{Cagatay:2009ie}.
In the wild-type, upstream signaling acts via activation of the \textit{ComS promoter} by pComA binding (Fig.~3A, thick black arrow). We compare the behaviour of wild-type cells to those with a Synthetic Decision-Making network (SynDM) which is regulated, in addition, via activation of the \textit{ComK} \textit{promoter}
by pComA binding (red dashed arrow). {\color{black} We model ComK-driven progress and entry into functional competence, and write
$\text{Progress}(t) = k \int_0^{t} \mathrm{ComK}(s) ds$,
where $k$ is an effective rate of ComK-driven differentiation. A cell is taken to enter (functional) competence at the time when $\mathrm{Progress}(t)=1$.  The value of the parameter $k$ is set so that the wild-type and SynDM networks give equal fractions of competent cells with a constant level of pComA (1000 molecules).}
We tune rate parameters associated with the ComK promoter of the SynDM network so that the fraction of SynDM cells entering competence (0.18)
is the same as for wild-type cells, in the absence of
fluctuations in pComA levels (see SI). {\color{black} A table listing all reactions and parameter values used in our models of the competence module of wild-type {\it B. subtilis} and the SynDM networks is given in the SI}.
We use the linear noise approximation (LNA) \cite{Kampen:1961} to model the the upstream signaling (with CSF and ComX fixed at steady-state levels), giving a mean for pComA of 1000 molecules throughout. Importantly, we include in the model gene expression and degradation of the proteins comprising the signal transduction mechanism because it is now understood that the resultant variation has important effects on signaling and information transfer{\color{black}~\cite{Bowsher2014}}. A single Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process is sufficient to closely match the mean, variance and autocorrelation function of pComA given by the LNA (see SI). We therefore use a single OU process for the pComA input in what follows. A range of protein lifetimes is considered, consistent with the broad range of cell-cycle periods observed for bacteria under
different growth conditions \cite{Michelsen:2003}, where nutrient
limitation can result in periods in excess of 10h. Our baseline LNA model of the upstream signaling module gives a lifetime and CV of pComA fluctuations equal to 5h and 0.35. We take the pComA input to be exogenous to the ComS-MecA-ComK competence module since it is in high abundance relative to the 2 promoters it binds (the only interaction between the two modules).
The importance in determining cell fate of the time taken for the cell to complete different differentiation programs (to the point of irreversible commitment) has recently been emphasised \cite{Kuchina:2011}. The SynDM network creates a differentiated sub-population by activating
the differentiation program in most or all of the cell population (Fig.~3 C\&D), with entry to competence the outcome of a `race' to differentiate
over the relevant time window.  In the SynDM network, binding of pComA
to the ComK promoter results more often in periods of non-zero
ComK expression than in the wild-type population, but when such periods occur, they are less sustained
(Fig. 3B-D \& SI, Fig. 8). The typical rate of progress of a SynDM cell to competence
is increased by a higher level of pComA (SI, Fig.~8), and extrinsic fluctuations in the pComA level therefore affect the fraction of cells entering competence (Fig.~3 C\&D). In
contrast, the wild-type activates the differentiation program in a
smaller sub-population, the size of which is under modest regulation by pComA (Fig.~3F)---a high proportion of the active wild-type cells then enter competence because, once activated,
ComK expression rarely deactivates in the wild-type (Fig.~3B \& SI, Fig.~8).
We find two important advantages of the wild-type design (in addition
to the implied reduction in the metabolic cost of gene expression). First, the fraction of
cells entering competence is considerably more robust to the
fluctuations from upstream signaling in pComA (Fig.~3E). For example, with the baseline model of upstream signaling,
the SynDM network has a competent fraction (40\%) which is more than 2.25 times the
competent fraction when pComA is held constant at its mean level, whereas the competent fraction of wild-type cells (17\% cf 18\%) has changed very little.
The difference in robustness is explained by the sensitivity of the probability of competence
for a SynDM cell as a function of the time average of the signal, $\langle \mathrm{pComA}\rangle$,
which switches quite rapidly from zero to one (Fig.~3F). Since the
fraction of competent cells is equal to the average of $\mathrm{Prob}[\mathrm{{Competence}}| \langle \mathrm{pComA}\rangle]$
over the distribution of $\langle \mathrm{pComA}\rangle$ (which
is approximately the distribution of pComA for longer lifetimes), the
competent fraction \emph{increases} in the presence of extrinsic fluctuations
for SynDM (recall the mean of pComA is 1000 molecules). In contrast, $\mathrm{Prob}[\mathrm{{Competence}}|\langle\mathrm{pComA}\rangle]$
is approximately linear for the wild-type network, which implies that
the competent fraction depends largely on the mean of pComA alone. Such
plots (Fig.~3F) should prove a useful diagnostic tool for the design of synthetic decision-making
The second advantage of the wild-type design is that the
fraction of cells entering competence is also considerably more robust
than SynDM to heterogeneity across the cell population in the rate at which
ComK-driven differentation proceeds (Fig.~3G). The reason is evident from the progress to competence trajectories in Fig. 3B-D. We note that fluctuations from upstream signaling in pComA can also cause decreases in the
fraction of competent SynDM cells, as seen for higher rates of differentiation (Fig. 3G). Heterogeneity in the rate at which differentiation programs proceed
is inevitable where cellular decisions are executed by large gene expression
networks and involve substantial physiological changes \cite{Hahn:2005}.

And then theres another side of me that would love to do teaching or even science journalism!These are all such different choices and I have no idea what I would like to do. What do you suggest?Should I do some more research on different career paths or just take a subject which I think I would love/find really interesting at uni and take it from there?Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!


I raise rabbits for meat. We picked up our 2 breeder does at a livestock auction. If my county didn't have the most idiotic laws, I would have bought chickens as well.
Anyway, the livestock at these auctions are super cheap. This is where you need to get your livestock. Any kind of livestock you can imagine.peacocks, rabbits, guinea pigs, and a lot more. Prices for a baby piglet - $8-$15 (price for piglets from a local breeder - $200), calves - $50, full grown goats - $25-$35, chickens of all kinds - $2-$6.
Check your local livestock auctions. This is definitely the place to start.
I think this is still good advice in general, especially for meat animals, but in my area the auctions are notorious as being the places for getting rid of old, sick stock that you probably wouldn't want to breed or plan on keeping very long.
Try Craiglist as well under "pets", I just found a free dairy goat not far from me, all I have to do is travel to pick her up if she still has it tomorrow....good looking animal to boot. But sometimes you can find people that have freebies to give away that started out wanting the animal and figured out in the end that's not what they needed.
I got one of my rabbits from craigslist. Not many farm animals in my area on CL though.
personally i know alot of farmers who say the auction is last resort. the animal isnt producing enough to be worth keeping. it breaks out of the fencing. it cant be worked with because of its attitude. and for alot of people around here because its sick and they dont care about sending a sickly (alot of them die within the week they are so sick) animal to auction.
just think of this.... if you're buying it for cheap, take out of that a percentage that the auctionhouse takes for its share, plus gas money to bring the animal(s) to the sale. as the seller you are kinda gettin screwed. so if its taken to auction then its last resort. i've had to take rabbits to sale because i HAD to get money to buy feed. i took 7 rabbits (worth $10 each) and one adult, proven, full ped, show quality breeder (worth $30)..... what did i get for them all? for what was worth a total of about $100.... i got a TOTAL of $15.45 for ALL of them at the auction.
so yes, you can get some good deals at auction. but you can also get really super screwed over. like i bought 8 rabbits all supposed to be does. turns out 3 of those were does. so it all depends.
what i would highly suggest is to hang around the area that people will be coming in with the animals and talk to folks and offer them *good* prices for the animals before they get them into the auctionhouse. because once they get into the auctionhouse they are being introduced to all kinds of sickness and disease you wont want to bring home with ya. and i can guarantee you'll get a decent deal and the farmer will probably be more likely to tell ya about the animals.
Yeah I bought two calves from auction. Brought them home to find out that they both had ecoli. We had to bottle feed plus medicate these babes for months. But they both survived and thrived.
 Which IMO are a good thing when it comes to animal auctions. Places like I live in Ms., don't have anything to regulate how the animals are treated, unless its a coggins test for a horse. I've seen some nasty stuff at auctions. Maybe you can find a "loophole" concerning the chickens. The prices in your area are awesome, wish I could buy at those prices.
good advice. I asked my hunting buddy Aaron (he's a farmer) about raising domestic American lamb because the only people who have it for sale here are really few and far between. And I love some lamb. He said if I want to do that I should just instead of get like ten head and wait for them to breed etc, to go to an auction and buy a big lot of them and take them directly to butcher.
Craigslist is always the best, just be patient and look in area's around yours.
I hope I misunderstood you and apologize if I did. Having said that...I DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT REGULATING ANY THING. I firmly believe that the market can and will handle their own "regulation". We have entirely too many stupid, unenforceable laws on the books as it is. Farmer, ranchers, breeders will do a damn fine job of self regulation with the "market" buyers doing their part. Get the government OUT of our lives in every regulatory capacity.
I would hesitate to buy livestock through auctions unless you have a lot of experience with the animals that you are raising. If you are new to raising a particular animal, it would be much better to buy through private treaty sales (on the farm). There are several reasons that I suggest this. You are less likely to bring a diseased animal(s) into your herd. You can inquire about pedigrees and traits from the owner. You can see how the animal acts in it's normal environment. The owner cares that you get good stock, his or her reputation depends on future sales, the sale barn just moves animals. The owner will generally provide you with a multitude of information and help to keep your livestock healthy.
I'm not saying that you cannot get good livestock at a sale barn, because you can, if you know livestock. If you don't, then my best suggestion is the private sale. Yes, you will pay a little more, sometimes a fair amount more, but livestock that doesn't produce the desired results, or is dead, is not a deal.
It is fun to go to the auctions. And you can get some pretty good deals. I haul livestock for a living so I have been going to the auctions for years.
We have only owned our small farm for 2 years. So we don't have room for lots of animals. (30 acres) So we only raise the one's my wife can care for. As I am gone from home a lot. We have goats pig's and chickens. Wife is afraid of cows. Any other suggestions? And no rabbits my wife won't eat them. She thinks they are to cute.
i came home 2 years ago and started my small homestead. first thing i bought was 3 rabbits buck and 2 does. still have the buck, ate both does long ago after that i bought a different type of buck then a few more does. later i bought some chickens. then few months after that a few more chickens.after being home about a year we also bought a goat. i bought all my animals off CL and never had any problems with any of them.as others have said, unfortunately, around here the auctions are where people get rid of their undesirable animals.
