Osgood-Schlatters Disease
Posted: Sun May 22, 2005 8:34 pm
I've been poking around this website recently, and I'm curious, have any of ya'll heard about, (or experienced) Osgood-Schlattters Disease? It's a disease in which happens to 1.3% of physically-active teenagers, (sometimes children or adults, however) because our body joints are growing, and we put too much activity on our legs, causing the platella to become inflamed, leaving a bump right in front of the kneecap... It's very painful, and can take years to heal... In extreme cases, it might even require surgery, and I've had it for about two years now... So, out of general curiousity in the world of running, has anyone had any experiences with this? Or has anyone even heard about it?

The only experience I've had with Osgood-Schlatters Disease and the only person I've known to have it was one of my friends back when we were in Junior High (around 1975). I never really asked him about it and only knew that it kept him from being allowed to join the football or basketball teams. I don't recall it being a very big deal for him...it never seemed to bother him. I was always puzzled by this because he was quickest and fastest runner I had ever seen back then. I always thought it was a shame that he wasn't allowed to play sports because he seemed like a natural athlete. It didn't prevent him from running around in Gym class though. My impression was that the restriction on playing sports was to minimize the symptoms of the disease and to allow it to heal without the risk of a sports related injury causing harm.
Sorry I can't share more than this but I have yet to encounter another person in the past 30 years who has this disease, though I've seen or heard mention of it in the media.
Have you done a google search with a search phrase like..."osgood schlatter disease" running sports track?

No, but, come to think of it, it is a good idea... Many thanks.

Well, I've done numerous searches as of late, but I haven't found too much other than two or three ametuer track runners writing a quick fact or two about how it pains them... But I have found a lot of doctors saying how bad of an idea it is to continue running with the disease, becauses it increases the chances of not only greater pain, but knee surgery, and even chronic tibula inflammation... I'll keep looking, though...

Not a joke but a good read

Not a joke but a good read
The Carpenter
Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side-by-side, sharing machinery and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.
Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference and finally, it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I 'm looking for a few days' work," he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?"
"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor. In fact, it's my younger brother! Last week there was a meadow between us. He recently took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll do him one better. See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence an 8-foot fence -- so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."
The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."
The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day -- measuring, sawing and nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.
The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all.
It was a bridge .. A bridge that stretched from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all! And the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched..
"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."
The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder.
"No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.
"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but I have many more bridges to build."

R. Baker & Son: Veteran Founded Company
Walter Baker is an accomplished man. As co-founder of R. Baker & Son, he's been at the helm of the company for 55 years. He recently celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary. He is also a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy. R. Baker & Son's recent work at the USS Intrepid Museum called to mind some fond memories.
Walter joined the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1954. In 1961, a crisis arose when the border between East and West Berlin was closed, and Walter was called to active duty aboard the USS Remey. A Fletcher-class destroyer, Remey was armed with an arsenal of 5-inch guns, depth charges, torpedos, hedgehogs, and K guns.
As a boiler operator in the engineering group, Walter serviced Remey's 800-lb boilers. While Fletcher-class destroyers are officially credited with a top speed of 36 knots, Remey could occasionally achieve 45 knots by "lighting off" the boilers' super-heated steam.
Remey's boilers served a more practical purpose for Walter and his crewmates, as well. Walter remembers cooking hams in the mudrums when inclement weather prevented the kitchens from being used. During one particularly fierce storm, Remey was battered by massive 45-foot waves. "We were iron men in an iron ship", recalls Walter with a chuckle. "Sometimes, she seemed more like a submarine than a destroyer."
In 1963, USS Remey was decommissioned, and she was berthed in Philadelphia. In 1976, she was sold and broken up for scrap. Walter would occasionally see her when R. Baker & Son worked in the Philly area, and she never failed to evoke proud memories of his service aboard her.

Are you in a storm? Is your boat rocking from bow to stern? Are the skies ominous and the waves towering? You've trusted GOD in the past but you feel like you're going to sink this time. It's overwhelming. Crushing. Hear Him say,
"I will not let you sink."
Peace is not the absence of chaos. Peace is assurance in the midst of chaos. Peace is the result of unwavering trust and dependence on GOD. Sometimes He calms the storm, and sometimes He calms us in the storm. He will do what is best for you. (Matthew 14:22-32; Mark 4:35-41; Romans 8:28)
Lift your eyes for a moment and you'll find Yeshua (Jesus) with you in the storm! He bids you to come where He is. Step out of the boat. Follow His voice. Keep your eyes fixed on Him. There is no safer place then with Yeshua in the storm. He is your refuge and strength. He is your very present help in time of trouble. Grab hold of the Prince of Peace! (Psalm 4:8; John 14:27, 16:33; Psalm 46:1; Isaiah 9:6)
He makes you walk on top of the storm!

Hey Jealousy, listen to my heart. There's only one thing I couldn't start.
Tonight, I feel sad.
Thinking too much about OGF and First Love.
Over the weekend, when I saw First Love, I confessed to him how I had slept with OGF. He was shocked. And jealous. But his jealousy was completely egotistical and had nothing to do with having genuine feelings for me. He was just jealous OGF got to "hit it" when he had not. But then, I asked First Love if he thought the sex was most likely meaningless to OGF who has numerous casual sex encounters.
First Love assured me that the sex probably meant a lot to OGF.
But then….I couldn't help but ask why he never wanted to date me. I didn't mean to ask my First Love this but I just blurted it out.
Why had I never been enough? Once, a year ago or so, I asked OGF what he sees in his girlfriend. I asked him because he doesn't seem particularly into her. I don't think he's that attracted to her, sexually stimulated by her or overall engaged by her. So, I asked him what he saw in her. Maybe I just wasn't seeing things clearly. He then told me that he liked her because "she is driven." I then said that many girls are driven, myself included. He just agreed and kept silent for a moment until the subject was changed. So, now, I go back to wondering, like I have before….
Why did OGF never see me in that way? My First Love told me that it took OGF's moving across the country for him to finally get up the nerve to make a move on me. He continued that he's sure OGF could see me as girlfriend material but the timing was just never right. (It's true that at least one of us has been in a relationship during our friendship. Well, there were a brief few months where we were both single many years ago but at the time we were both broken hearted.) Part of me desperately wishes this were true – that OGF would have loved to date me but the timing was just off.
Trainer, who has worked closely with OGF, told me he thinks OGF dates her because she "looks good on paper." And yes, I can see this. She has successful parents and is beginning a very good, stable career. But this can't be all, can it?
I don't know how or why but I've never really seen her as a "real" girlfriend to him. Probably due to his lack of perceived enthusiasm over her by all I've spoken to about his relationship. Additionally, I like to think that if OGF was really in love with someone he wouldn't cheat on them. But maybe this as good as gets in a romantic relationship with OGF? I just feel he's going through the motions without emotion.
I do feel bad for his girlfriend. However, I don't feel guilty. His lack of commitment to her far extends the one night him and I spent together. In an ideal situation we both would've been single but it wasn't that way.
I just feel slightly jealous – why her and not me? Why did he move to be near her for school if he doesn't seem that into her? Why hasn't he at least emailed me a "hello"?
I am filled with self doubt, currently.
Gin Blossoms – "Hey Jealousy"
I am heaven sent, don't you dare forget.
I spoke with Trainer last night. We made tentative plans for this weekend probably for Sunday. He seems to avoid commitment on so many levels he can't even make real plans. I don't feel frustrated because I don't really like him. In fact, I wonder why I feel curious to hang out with him. Maybe for a story to tell? Maybe because he is attractive enough and funny enough for now?
I think he likes himself enough for the both of us.
He thinks I am so attracted to him, it's very funny. He compliments himself many more times than I possibly ever could or want to. He even claims to be hotter than OGF (they look similar). I had to hold back laughter at this comment. He's definitely attractive to me but in a take or leave it kind of way. I find him attractive but I am not lusting for him.
All the while, he calls me a "7" saying he doesn't want to build up my ego. So it definitely sounds like he has issues.
He emphasized his desire to have sex with me numerous times in our lengthy phone conversation (we spoke for over an hour). He says he would like to start as friends but if two people have good sex together then that's when they start dating more. I don't know whether I should take this as harmless flirting or that he's being far too presumptuous.
Truth be told: I'm quite suspicious of him. This is unsettling for me because I'm usually a very trusting person. He is not to be trusted I know though. Something tells me this. Perhaps it's his overly large ego. Someone who thinks so highly of themselves cannot possibly be a caring loving partner. And I feel he really is just in it for the nookie as Limp Bizkit so eloquently put it.
Or maybe, just maybe, I feel incredibly uncomfortable dealing with someone who possesses equal flirting capabilities.
Brand New – "Ok, I believe you, but my Tommy gun won't"
Hey let's do it like we're friends….
There's one guy I've been strictly platonic friends with since I was 16, so for 8 years we've been friends. He is my Oldest Guy Friend (OGF).
OGF and I have an incredible amount of sexual tension between us. So thick you really, truly could cut it with a knife. When we're around each other, we flirt shamelessly. Our friendship has always been like this but it's always been harmless fun.
Even after many drunken nights, we never even kissed although once in a great while one of us would try for something. The other one, the sober one, though would always be the "voice of reason." After all, we have such a good friendship – why mess with it?
I have had numerous reasons for never hooking up with OGF despite the fact I truly do sexually desire him – more than I have desired most people, honestly.
These reasons included:
1. He is my Oldest Guy Friend. Strictly platonic too for years. He is someone I come to for advice on other men.
2. He has been quite the man-whore, hooking up with something like 90% of his female friends. I loved teasing him that he could never have this.
3. He once had sex with a good female friend of mine. And I actually saw them by accident! A mental image that has been burned in my head! And I love to tease him about this hookup relentlessly since he regrets it. He says he did it for me and my best friend. Wow – thanks! :p
4. He has issues with emotional intimacy, I believe.
5. I was afraid if I finally experienced him in such a way I would fall in love with him and it would break my heart that it would not be reciprocated. See above.
6. I didn't want to take away this lust and wanting. Maybe, with him, the wanting would be better than the having and it would be better to never experience him than ruin my fantasy of him.
Reasons to hook up with him:
1. It would be so thrilling to finally experience him on a level we've joked about so often.
2. He is really sexy.
3. He thinks I'm really gorgeous – he has told me I have the face of a movie star. So there is mutual sexual desire and attraction.
4. I've always wanted to just give in to my desire for him. I have had countless sex dreams starring OGF.
Well, on Saturday, he was out to celebrate his last night in our city – he's moving across the country for school. And to live with his gf (he has cheated on her before). So I joined him and his friends. I was very excited to see him but sad about him leaving.
I had a very fun night flirting with OGF and his friends. OGF was bragging to everyone how I must have the skills sexually. He always does this when he's drunk. So, I deduce, he has wondered how I am in the bedroom. And that curiosity is mutual. For sure. I spoke to one of his friends I'm supposed to go out with again (we went on a date once but there was miscommunication and he "bowed out" – he thought I said I had a boyfriend). Due to his profession, I will refer to him as Trainer. Also, I drunkenly madeout for the first time with another of his friends who I've known for almost as long. I didn't tell OGF about this for some reason. He had make a joke about us taking a long time to go back to his house when I "jokingly" asked him for a peck on the lips – he said he wanted to make sure I hadn't given his friend a BJ. I laughed and acted as if nothing happened.
When I got back to OGF's house I was very drunk by this point. I was flirting with Trainer. Later, he offered to take me home but I declined – I wanted to spend more time with OGF because I didn't know when I would get to hang out with him again. Trainer insisted he would not try anything sexual with me but I assured him this wasn't my concern. I just wanted to talk to OGF.
Trainer left and OGF and I prepared for sleep. I have spent the night with him before and nothing but cuddling occurred so I didn't feel any hesitation joining OGF in his bed. And changing down into my boyshorts and his t-shirt in front of him. It's true – I wanted him to feel slightly turned on by me but I had no intentions of anything else.
We were lying in bed chit-chatting about some guy who I recently dated and all of sudden – he kissed me. Our first kiss, ever. After eight years. I was so confused and excited. I mean, I was laying there kissing my oldest guy friend. Someone I love (as a friend, it's true). Someone I desire.
At this point, I thought the voice inside my head would be yelling, "Stop! What are you doing? This is crazy!" but nothing like that was being said. This also has nothing to do with my being drunk since because of my sexual guilt, this voice never shuts up usually during sexual encounters.
But honestly, it just felt right.
He then went down on me. I've never let someone do this to me before I've first given them head. It's a boundary thing. I don't like feeling so vulnerable in a beginning encounter. But, I just wanted it. And for the first time, I was just going with want I wanted.
Later, I reciprocated while he held my hand. I thought surely, I would get him off from this. I still had no intentions of having sex with him. I was sure this would go under the "everything but" category.
He then though moved me off and starting kissing me again. Passionately. I'm not surprised by how well we kiss together. I told him I felt he was getting too close to having sex with me. And he pleadingly said my name saying we didn't have to do anything I didn't want to. The way he said my voice was filled with so much emotion it made me feel assured I wasn't making a mistake. This wasn't a casual meaningless encounter even if we aren't in love.
I asked him to put on a condom just so I felt safer with him being so close to me. He did so and we kissed a little more and then all of sudden with no words exchanged, he entered me.
And here I was, having sex with my #2, and it was with OGF. I thorougly enjoyed myself while we had lingering sex. It felt sweet but not romantic and that was all I needed to get me over my second person hump (pun definitely intended).

Any guesses on the build number? I'm going for 3193 :-)

Working out a viable schedule has been hard.
I am not one to live by the rigors of routine (it has previously been suggested that the exactitude of this project is in defiance of my very nature) so I have been reluctant to commit to anything that would preclude spontaneous human experiences. However I am aware of the virtues consistency can provide when everything else is in a state of flux so I have persevered and devised this.... a rough plan for living can be abandoned at a moments notice...and I think it feels about right.
My intention has always been to try and maintain a fairly 'normal' life while operating on Mars time. As much as experiencing the shift of time itself, I wanted to see how my interactions with the world would need to be re-negotiated and re-imagined - how my relationships with friends and strangers be altered and how I 'mastered' the need for constant conversion.
I wanted the work to be a lived experience and thus adaptable to the realities that only lived experience can provide – an experiment with an unknown outcome.
With that said – I have also felt a need to formalize some rules for myself – some parameters that will be expanded through the act of doing.
Of all the possible rule I could set for myself the only one etched in stone is that I must always abide by my Mars local time. This means irrespective of activity or occasion I must only undertake actions that conform to my time on Mars and I must encourage other to do so. In reality this would mean that I eat breakfast during my morning regardless the time on Earth, and should I be accompanied by other people during a meal or activity I would request that they abide by my time also.
I must also specify if an action is to occur according to time on Mars or time on Earth and, where possible, choose Mars time as the default time, schedule events to occur on the Mars hour / half hour rather than preferencing Earth.
These are two simple rules but they are a place to start and I can already see them having much broader consequences... until later xx
Working out a viable schedule has been hard.

We're thrilled to have received a bit of promotion for our work and input into this year's South West Coast Path 40th Anniversary projects, through an article in this month's edition of the regional 'glossy' , Cornwall Today.
Mike the Head Ranger and Steve Church, the secretary of the SWCP Association, were interviewed at two locations on our patch to highlight just two of the dozens of coast path improvement projects that are taking part this year.
It is hoped that £250,000 will be raised to fund the projects, and it is being supported by a sponsored walk through April and May that will see 56 consecutive legs of the path walked, along north and south coasts – a 'relay' culminating in a celebration at Land's End. Participants need to register on the walk of their choice beforehand. Find out more at www.GreatSouthWestWalk.co.uk.

Saturday Morning Coffee #04 -Gucci Belt Dupe, December Goals + More!
Let me totally real for a minute here: I missed writing this post last week. The Thanksgiving holiday was full of laughter and good memories and time spent with family so your girl can't complain too much (other than for the severe lack of mashed potatoes at dinner). Now that I'm pretty much back into a normal routine though, it feels so good. The holidays can really mess with our minds by getting us out of our routines.
Anyways, the holiday season is in full swing and we have some pretty exciting things happening in December. I can't believe 2017 is already almost over. Just 31 days from now we'll all be ringing in 2018. How crazy is that? First on our list is the Army/Navy football game so if you didn't read yesterday's post featuring my amazing fiancé go check it out!
ONE || Blogmas 2017
I'm pretty sure that I have a death wish because I decided last minute (literally on November 30th) to participate in Blogmas 2017. Basically what that means for you all is that I will (hopefully) be posting EVERY DAY in the month of December! Crazy, right? I know. Anyways, I have a full content calendar planned for the month and I'm really excited to bring these posts to you all so please say a prayer and cheer me on!
TWO || The Perfect Gucci Belt Dupe
Those of you who follow me on Instagram and watch my Instastories definitely saw this outfit on there yesterday. I said that it was SCREAMING for a Gucci belt which, if you haven't heard, are super trendy and IMPOSSIBLE to find at this point if you're an average size gal like me. They're also $450 which your girl doesn't really have to spend on a belt, let alone anything, at this point due to wedding planning. BUT I knew Target (where my new favorite sweater ever, ever, ever is from btw) wouldn't let me down and I found this incredible dupe! I'll be bringing you an entire post about this outfit so stay tuned for that!
THREE || Christmas Decor
It goes without saying, really, but I'm obsessed with our Christmas decor. I've just been adding a few things here and there this week and we are finally going to get the first gifts wrapped today which is just going to add even more character to our tree. I'll be doing a full post on Christmas decor on a budget tomorrow so make sure you're here bright and early at 10am tomorrow for those deets and all the details of our decorations! I can't wait to share the rest of the touches with you all. Plus, all this decorating has made for a pretty incredible holiday Instagram feed.
FOUR || Becoming a Beachbody Coach
This week, I decided to dive completely in and become a Beachbody coach! I'm so excited about this new venture because I've already been able to connect with so many people in the few short days I've been vocal about it on social media. I am a true believer that we have the power each day to change or lives and that is the type of empowerment I want to give to others by doing this. These programs and shakes have changed my life so so so much. If you haven't read my post about the 21 Day Fix, I highly encourage you to do so. My DM's and email inbox are ALWAYS open so if you're interested in learning more about how we can tackle your health and fitness goals together, let me know!
FIVE || December Goals
I try to set goals for myself at the start of every month and December is no different. I like sharing those goals with all of you because it helps keep me accountable since I know you all are watching! Anyways, here are a few of my goals for December:
- Read one Professional Development Book
- Hit 1,200 followers on Instagram (@darrianmduck)
- Participate in and complete Blogmas 2017
- Gain 10 new email subscribers
- Hit my goal weight (only 5 pounds to go!)

Note to WDLC on public meeting at Tecumseh Council:
January 19 2015
On January 13, 2015, in my role as president of the Windsor Workers' Education Centre ( I also sit as Member at Large for Social Justice on the Windsor District Labour Council executive), I attended a public meeting in Tecumseh regarding Bondeulle's proposal to renovate an existing building on the site of the packaging plant to house up to 60 migrant workers. Also attending were Marion Overholt and Cathy Kolar of Legal Assistance Windsor, Chris Ramsaroop, organizer and educator for Justicia for Migrant Workers, and Adrian Munroe, a migrant worker. The public meeting was to hear arguments regarding a proposed by-law amendment to change a current zoning from 'restricted industrial' to 'residential' on a portion of plant property. The company claims that since workers are housed on site at greenhouses and farms, they can be housed on plant property.
The company stated at the meeting they want this on site housing for the safety of the workers. Right now there are a handful of workers living in Windsor who get transported by the company to the plant. They are ramping up the number of migrant workers because of expected increases in production. The company has produced a sketch of the housing but it is not yet clear the housing meets standards – it is a bunkhouse style arrangement. The workers will be Jamaican men. The company also claims that the work will not suit students as it is off-summer work.
Marion argued that the plan is in contradiction with the town's own master plan and that the zoning bylaw amendment should not go ahead without further study. Cathy, Chris and I argued around the themes that the workers are in effect being isolated and segregated from the general population. In effect the company controls their movements, who they see and making it harder for them to feel they can speak up freely if they face problems in the workplace. As well, we argued that these workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. They should be able to live in housing in the community so they are free to interact with allies, community members, and be able to shop as they see fit. For example, there are no discount grocery stores in Tecumseh – the community is an upper middle class suburb geared towards a mobile population with above average wages: imagine riding a bike for groceries at Manning and Tecumseh Roads.
As long as the global economy forces the migration of hundreds of millions of workers around the world, we will have foreign workers here. This isn't the issue for us. Chris Ramsaroop made the point that the problem lies in the failure of the federal and provincial governments to institute and labour plan for the country and regions including a manufacturing policy. Only then could all Canadians really understand how many jobs there are, where they are, and how many foreign workers are needed. As well, if the workers are good enough to work here, why are they not good enough to be citizens? The way forward is NOT to point fingers at the workers but at the system that denies them the rights Canadian workers enjoy, and also the right to citizenship if they desire it. (OFL statement and link to a proposed Migrant Workers' Bill of Rights)
The proposal to amend the bylaw by Bonduelle will set a bad precedent in that they are equating a packaging plant to a greenhouse/farm operation. Yet farming and packaging are two very different things, and the fire last year at the plant should be enough of a warning about how incredibly dangerous it is to house workers on plant property. A packing plant is more akin to a manufacturing plant and quite different from a farm or greenhouse operation.
I think it is critical that the WDLC take a stand on how migrant workers are treated in the area. In my opinion the WDLC must speak out in support of the rights of workers to have off site residences (the company claims to have looked into alternatives to on site housing), and to counter the perception that migrant workers are taking Canadian jobs. The real issue on that point is the failure of other levels of government to enter into discussions with the public, labour representatives and migrant worker advocates on a labour strategy for the country. There will be another public meeting in 15 to 30 days to allow more public consultation on this issue.
At labour council February 10 I presented the following motion: "Whereas the dignity, health and safety of migrant/temporary foreign workers are at risk while living in a bunkhouse on company property, and whereas there has already been a serious fire at the Bonduelle packing plant in July, 2014, and whereas housing migrant/temporary foreign workers on isolated farm properties is not the same as housing such workers in a town or city on what amounts to factory property, the Windsor District Labour Council is opposed to the company's plan to house migrant/temporary foreign workers on company property where workers are isolated from the rest of the community. The WDLC also urges the Town of Tecumseh to work with the company to house workers in the broader community with proper transportation provided so workers can commute to their jobs at Bonduelle."
On February 11th, before the WDLC could act on the motion, CBC Windsor reported that Bonduelle had pulled its proposal to house migrant workers on their property and that the company will "…review all its options at the plant, including increasing productivity." Also the company stated it was pulling the application because of the "…public's reaction to adding residences for up to 60 seasonal migrant workers."
Following is the remainder of my report to WDLC:
As you may have heard, a Detroit worker, James Robertson, hit the news about his plight walking to work. He became the subject of a crowd funding campaign where $350,000.00 was raised. The thing is, as he recognized himself in an interview, he is not alone and in fact is one of millions of working poor people who not only have to live on low wage jobs, but tax cuts have destroyed public services like mass transit, that serve working people. In fact it occurred to me that fair taxation is the original crowd funding idea that helps millions at a time, not one person out of pity or charity. Taxes are the glue that hold society together and yet to many working class people have fallen for the tax cut mantra. I've proposed a campaign called Walk a Mile in My Shoes, where non-union, low wage workers can tell their stories and make the case for a living wage backed up by fair taxation. This is in fact what workers gained in the 20th century and what is being dismantled now. If workers have to rely on social media charity, we will continue to falter as a society. I'm hoping we can kick off a campaign soon in collaboration with an organization in Detroit to be confirmed. A hands across the river campaign would show the similar hardships workers on both sides of the river face.
As you know the Scoop Newspaper has stopped publishing and lesser known is that Ann Beer's bookstore, The Bookroom on Wyandotte near the university, is going to close as she can no longer run it. These two Windsor institutions really cannot just disappear and I have been meeting with interested parties to put together a plan to keep them going. Briefly the idea is to acquire a common space that would be a non-profit social enterprise and which would house the workers' centre with funding for 1-2 para-legals and a coordinator, the newspaper, a makerspace, and a café/bookstore. The workers' centre would continue to educate and advocate for workers and workers' rights. The point of the makerspace is to be a lab of sorts to investigate new technologies like digital fabricators for community production. The café would be on the model of Democracy cafes where people come together to discuss issues around work, politics, economics and so forth with action coming from such discussion. It would also provide jobs and hope for workers. The newspaper is probably the key component to critique the existing political and economic realities and further, produce constructive, useful and doable alternatives that are not covered by the mainstream media (MSM). All MSM does is serve as an echo chamber for the elites who are out of ideas and continue to propose austerity, and cutbacks for workers. Technology has progressed to the point where it is already possible for small start-ups to manufacture what the community needs using digital fabricators. Communication technology can be used to produce a newspaper in print and online with a website and social media including an Internet radio station. The Democracy Café can bring people together in a common space with all this going on so action can take place – in other words, social media only goes so far. It takes people in community in person to generate ideas that lead to action and by action I mean real change in the way we organize ourselves around work and an economy. The goal is to democratize the economy and create democratically run workplaces on a co-op/social enterprise model, and do this on the local level. Much is happening along this model in Detroit and we can learn by collaborating with like-minded organizers there and elsewhere around the world and Canada.
I am working on funding ideas including something I can approach the local labour community with for start-up funding. The goal is to become a self-supporting non-profit enterprise in the near future.
There is a lot wrong with the world and we can easily see that the ruling class – nationally, globally and locally – has no real clue on how to address, democratically, the failures of capitalism and globalization. A globalized economy with free trade agreements was promised to bring prosperity to all, and instead it has brought us closer to war, has increased inequality, has heightened racism and islamophobia, and created the specter of a police state in Canada and elsewhere. It's time for the working class to get organized ourselves because if the ruling class has a plan for the future it does not include millions of workers around the world. It should be obvious that while the rich get richer, what's in store for us are surveillance, police violence and war. The way out is to organize around our commonalities, build resilient communities, learn how to better cooperate in common cause, and learn new technologies and apply them democratically meeting peoples' real needs. He common space project is a start towards a truly democratic, inclusive, cooperative alternative to the global capitalist nightmare unfolding before us.

ST. CHARLES, Mo.— A big Tiger volleyball rally came up just short in the opening set Saturday afternoon against Lindenwood, giving the Lions enough momentum to take the match in three sets. The loss moves Fort Hays State to 6-15 on the year and 0-9 in MIAA play, while Lindenwood is now 11-8 overall and 3-6 in league action.
The Tigers took an early lead to open the match, but the Lions broke things open with a big run to go in front by six, 15-9. The Tigers scored the next five points to close within one. A kill from Isabelle Reynolds opened the rally before Ashley Webb joined the party with a kill of her own. Consecutive slams from Azlyn Cassaday trimmed the deficit to 15-13 before a Lion error made it even closer.
Lindenwood regained the momentum, going back in front by five, before the Tigers mounted a 5-1 run to tie things 22. Trailing 21-16, the trio of Tatum Bartels, Morgan West and Cassaday combined for a big block to return serve to the Tigers. Cassaday and Bartels added another block on the following point before two Kayla Vitztum kills and two Lion errors tied the opening set at 22. Bartels kept FHSU in it with a kill two points later, knotting the score at 23, but LU bounced back to capture the final two points to win the set, 25-23.
The Lions never trailed in the second set, heading to the locker room up 2-0 with a 25-19 victory. Fort Hays State led early in the third frame, but a five-point run put the Lions in front for good.
Reynolds and Cassaday both totaled a team-high eight kills, while Cassaday, Bartels and West contributed a team-best three blocks each. Abbie Hayes paced the team with 17 digs, adding one kill. Bre Becker tossed up 21 assists on the day while Amirah Bentley added 10 assists.
Fort Hays State will return home for its longest homestand of the season, beginning next weekend.

Jacksonville foreclosures continue to rise in the residential sector, particularly in the multifamily subsector. Last December, a number of apartment and condominium buildings were taken back by their lenders.
In 2009, a total of 26,537 residential units in Jacksonville received default or foreclosure notices, marking an increase of 56 percent from the 17,025 foreclosures filed in 2008. About 4.5 percent of all homes in the metro area were in various foreclosure stages in 2009.
Statewide, a total of 516,711 residential units were put into foreclosure in 2009, representing 5.9 percent of all homes in the state. The 2009 foreclosures marked a 34-percent jump from filings in 2008 and a 212.6-percent increase from filings in 2007. In a ranking of states based on foreclosure rates last year, Florida ranked third.
In December, several condo units in a high-end condo complex along the Saint Johns River in San Marco were added to the bank owned home listing of CNL Bank. These units were being sold for $735,000 to $1.9 million before the repossession proceedings. Former owner C. Atkerson Inc. failed to pay its $8.3 million loan.
Jacksonville foreclosures could also have included two apartment complexes in the area last December, but the owners decided to voluntarily give back the properties to the lenders in place of foreclosure. The apartment complexes Gardens at Lakewood, located along Auburn Road, and Falcon Lake, located on the Northside, were taken back by the banks.
McGarvey Residential purchased the Gardens complex four years ago for $17.4 million and borrowed $13.3 million from AmSouth Bank, which later became Regions Bank. A loan balance of $8.6 million remained unpaid before the repossession.
The 440-unit Falcon complex was taken back by KeyBank National Association after former owner Falcone Group LLC failed to pay its $23-million balance from its $35.3-million loan in 2006.
In another report, released by the Associated General Contractors of America, a total of 5,000 construction workers in Jacksonville lost their jobs over the one-year period to November 2009. Construction jobs in the Jacksonville metro area dropped in November 2009 to 34,400, down from almost 40,000 in November 2008.
The loss represented 13 percent of total construction jobs in the area, increasing the number of households in difficult financial conditions and in danger of tax lien foreclosure and mortgage defaults.

U.S. President Donald Trump's outburst after the G-7 meeting in Canada raised questions over his commitment to his closest allies. Their next encounter could answer them.
Trump is expected to attend the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit July 11-12 in Brussels, a gathering whose goal was to re-affirm the trans-Atlantic partnership -- and that was before Trump withdrew from a G-7 statement on trade, insulted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and accused Germany of freeloading on U.S. military spending.
Trump has been sparring with the U.S. allies over trade for several months, but a refusal to reconfirm the U.S.'s commitment to NATO would bring relations to a new low, said Martin Quencez, senior program officer at the German Marshall Fund of the U.S.
"So far, the Europeans have managed to separate security and trade issues with the U.S.," said Quencez, who is based in Paris. "If what happened at the G-7 repeats at NATO, then we are in a worrying situation."
Officials in two different European capitals said there isn't a "Plan B" to configure an international trade and defense system without U.S. leadership or even involvement. One official said many European leaders are hoping November's midterm elections in the U.S. deliver a Democratic majority that would rein in the commander-in-chief.
'In Doubt'
"There's been such a succession of events with Trump that it's pretty clear the future of the Atlantic alliance is in doubt," said Philippe Moreau Defarges, an adviser at the Paris-based French Institute for International Affairs. "But I don't see anyone in Europe with the talent or the confidence to push through the changes that would be necessary for a real European defense policy."
Greater defense cooperation among EU members had been held up for years by Britain's reluctance to create anything that would compete or overlap with NATO. The U.K. vote to leave the EU has removed one block to a more integrated defense policy, but plenty of others remain, such as members' widely varying military capabilities and policy objectives.
EU leaders last December agreed to a defense pact called Pesco, or Permanent Structured Cooperation, which at this stage is limited to 17 projects in areas such as officer training and marine surveillance. While hailed by the EU Commission as a major breakthrough, permanent joint military forces are a long way off.
The EU lacks capabilities such as a fifth generation fighter jet, a carrier fleet and sufficient air transport to project power on a global scale. Indeed, few member states are willing to spend the sums required to develop such capabilities in the immediate future, limiting the bloc's clout and making it dependent on America's security umbrella.
Military Spending
Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a television interview Sunday that Trump "is right to a certain extent" when he criticized Germany for spending only 1.3 percent of economic output on defense, short of the 2 percent guideline set by NATO. "We need to increase our defense budget," she said.
Quencez said Merkel has made similar promises since Trump was elected with little to show for it. Moreau Defarges said she is too weak politically to push through unpopular increases in military spending.
"Multilateralism is facing a complicated, difficult situation right now," the German chancellor told reporters in Berlin on Monday.
The U.S. accounts for about three-quarters of the military spending of all 29 NATO members, according to the alliance.
No Replacement
Quencez said the so-called "G-6" minus the Americans could continue to work on issues such as trade, climate, and preserving the Iran nuclear accord. But the U.S. can't be replaced militarily, he said.
Both Macron and Merkel have said they'll carry on at the G-7 without the U.S. "The American President may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a 6 country agreement if need be," Macron said in a tweet June 7. Merkel said in her interview that "we as Europe have to stand up for our principles, potentially together with Japan and Canada."
Jacques Attali, the former head of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development who has advised French presidents since the 1980s, said the recent blowup doesn't really change things.
"It doesn't matter because the G-7 communique didn't really say anything, it was devoid of real content," Attali said Monday on France2 television. "We have to keep dealing with this man who represents the most important country in the world."

Men's Soccer Bounces Back
On Wednesday, Nov. 3, the No. 7 Anteaters suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to Cal State Northridge, giving UCI its first blemish in Big West play (6-1-2).
"We had a very low level of energy," Head Coach George Kuntz said. "The level of effort is inexcusable for our team and we expect a much higher standard, much higher quality [and] much better execution."
It was a difficult night for the Anteaters to establish their "first-to-the-ball" mindset, as the Matadors swarmed to the ball and ended most of the Anteaters' chances to score. Anxiety filled the air as both teams failed to capitalize on their early opportunities. That was until the 34th minute when sophomore midfielder Zach Olow confounded CSUN's goalkeeper and headed in a goal, putting the 'Eaters up 1-0.
UCI led the game in the first half until the 58th minute, when CSUN scored the equalizing goal.
"I thought we did not play up to our potential," Olow said. "We just didn't come out with that fire and desire that we have every game [and] I thought we played a little flat."
The Anteaters out-shot the Matadors 15 to 9 and totaled three more corner kicks than CSUN, but that was not enough for UCI to come out on top.
"We gave them a little too much time with their passing," Olow said. "Our pressure was just lacking and it comes from the defense all the way up to the forwards."
As the second half came to a close, the 1-1 stalemate looked as if it would continue to overtime, but that would not be the case. In the 90th minute, CSUN's Mattias Bonvehi received the ball on a corner kick and put it past UCI's Andrew Fontein for the game-winning goal.
"We have been working on defending corners," Kuntz said. "They scored on a corner last game and we gave up [a corner] so that is very disappointing. I guarantee that we will work on that this week and we are going to try to make it better."
The Anteaters were without their second leading scorer, Spencer Thompson, who has proved to be an invaluable asset to the team.
"We found out an hour and a half before the game that Spencer Thompson could not play and he has been a very dangerous player for us. It changed some of the dynamics for us within the team. He could not go unfortunately," Kuntz said.
In a game lacking full effort and focus from the Anteaters, UCI may have overlooked the Matadors, who are having a poor season. Fontein, who has been impeccable this season, recorded five saves but allowed the two crucial goals in the second half.
Before the game began, UCI recognized its seven seniors in its annual Senior Day ceremony: Corey Attaway, Joel Bagby, Gray Bailey, Zlatan Kukovic, Jorge Reyes, Spencer Thompson and Amani Walker.

After dropping Wednesday night's game, the 'Eaters needed to win if they wanted to secure the top spot in the Big West Tournament.
The Anteaters took care of business, defeating Fullerton, 3-1 on Saturday, Nov. 6.
The Titans put a scare into the hearts of the Anteaters after Fullerton scored in the 26th minute on a penalty kick. But the Anteaters responded to the Titans' first goal by tightening their defense and turning up the intensity on offense.
Senior Joel Bagby countered the Titans' first goal by tying the game in the 43rd minute. Freshman Carlos Santana stepped into the spotlight by putting the go-ahead goal past the Titans' keeper in the 49th minute. In the 71st, Senior Amani Walker added the third Anteater goal. Walker's goal not only secured a win against Fullerton but also clinched the top seed in the Big West Tournament.
The Anteaters won their second straight regular season Big West title and look to claim Big West Tournament Champs for the third straight year.
After beating the Titans last Saturday, the Anteaters will rematch Fullerton on Wednesday, Nov. 10 in the Big West Semifinals.

That should do the trick, by fixing file ownership and permissions in the SabNZBd+ download directories every 20 minutes.
I'm not sure if running these commands every 20 minutes is a good idea or not, but I rationalized 20 minutes based on the fact that a 2GB bluray rip of an hour-long TV episode takes approximately 20 minutes to download on my system and I'd like to be able to watch some episodes the same night they air.

Judge Aaron Cohn featured in juvenile justice magazine
Muscogee County Juvenile Court Judge Aaron Cohn is profiled in the fall issue of Juvenile & Family Justice Today, a national magazine.
"It's a honor," said Cohn, 93. "I feel very good about it. There are more than 2,000 judges across the country."
The magazine is starting a regular feature on one its member judges. Cohn, a lifelong Columbus resident who has been on the bench for 44 years, was the subject of the initial article.
Cohn served as president of the National Counsel of Juvenile & Family Court Judges in 1982-83.
In the article, Cohn was asked what keeps him going on the tough days.
"I know that it goes with the territory," he said. "I don't care how tough the case is, I am going to decide based on what's in the best interest of the child. I don't care about running a popularity contest. And I go home at night and I sleep. That's why I have been here nearly 45 years."

A musical journey through Senegal in which Depedro, singer-songwriter and member of Calexico, goes in search of the music from his youth. Visually stunning, musical and moving portrait of a multimusical, multicultural, multicolored country.
"It doesn't matter where I'm from, it is where I'm going that matters," says musician Depedro when people ask about his origins. Depedro's real name is Jairo Zavala. He is a Spanish singer-songwriter with African and Latin American roots and is also a member of American indie rock band Calexico. During a radio interview with a Spanish DJ the idea arises to seek out the music Depedro heard during his youth.
The journey to Senegal that follows is chock-full of music and rhythms – a trip to the world's heartbeat. This is where soul, rumba and rock originated. The search for the music of legendary griot (troubadour) Lamine Konte takes Depedro from Dakar to Casamance and features many joint performances or jam sessions with the musicians and dancers he meets. A film you could watch with your eyes shut except then you would miss the riot of color, landscapes and people that this film lovingly portrays.

It was a total disaster! The Ferry is no longer what it used to be.... one there are not enough staff. You used to have Australians New Zealanders Polish all fast enthusiastic and bright....where have they all gone. At Sunday lunch there were only 2 main staff and a young chap helping.....had to wait ages to be served...my friend and i had the Roast Pork which was fine. However when i asked for some Horseradish Sc the young man just out the jar dow in front of me.....not even a tea spoon to serve myself with. The staff were polite but very slow. We had to ask for the dessert menuvit was not offered.
The ferry used to be great. Its lost its way...so sad.
i went back in the evenung as i was meeting other friends.....it was even worse than the lunch session! Slow service......but there was THE most ghastly Indian woman with her family. Her 2young sons were the kids from hell! Running about yelling just auful. Your staff did nothing to stop this apalling situation! When we complained he replied thst it was a family restaurant.well if that is the case you should supply a paper mat and colouring pencils for the kuds to do.
we waited more than 25 mins for 2irish coffee and a cappucino and the waiter felt so bad he removed it from the bill.
you need to send in the undercover boss oncognito to see how bad it is!

The service was fine but the meal wasn't. My crab & lobster fishcakes were only just warm. I couldn't eat one as it got cold.The asparagus and pea felute were stone cold. The pea felute had congealed. My husband said his dinner was only just warm. The plates being hot would have helped. The menu sounded good. We were very disappointed and went home straight after the dinner.

We had a very poor experience at The Ferry. We have been going there for years as we are based 5 mins away and really like the location and setting. Unfortunately the service was terrible and the food was not great at all. We had to ask 3 x times for our table to be cleared from the last seating when we first sat down, I had to hunt for the menus between each course and we had to again ask for the table to be cleared throughout dinner. We were not approached once by the staff to ask if we need anything and when we did finally flag them down to ask for sauces and salt/pepper, they brought us empty bottles and were dismissive when we asked for them to bring full bottles. By the time they arrived the food was cold. I appreciate it was busy but the basic level of service was not good enough and for the price we paid, it was a huge disappointment.

The booking system was v good the meal was O K
You allow your waiting staff to dress and express themselves as they wish we could not believe the way they present themselves
We actually thought the head waiter or the manager was an undesirable from the street
We have used the ferry many times but are now thinking perhaps we may not come again
Why have you chosen to downgrade yourselves your waiting staff should have some sought of uniform
White shirts and black
You are aiming now at a different type of client not the ferry i new very sad
The music in the restaurant upstairs was too loud background fine

Very poor. Service was inadequate by it appeared to o be untrained and I supervised staff. I ordered two starters instead of one main. The squid appeared to have no squid just batter. The sticky duck salad was not a salad. This was one of my favourite dishes in the past. Lovely salad with lots of duck in a lovely sauce. What I got was bits of duck on slices of vegetables, carrots, courgettes and I'm not sure what the white slices were and the sauce was slimy. I did not enjoy my meal at all.

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed two lower court rulings making it a crime that endangers public safety if you fail to wear a seat belt.
The ruling arose out of the death of a 16-year-old passenger who was killed in a car crash caused by an 18-year-old who had been "huffing" an aerosol spray can containing a carpet deodorizer while driving. Both the driver and the passenger were not wearing seat belts.
Problematically, no standards specifically limit inhalant intoxication for drivers, so the 18-year-old was never charged for the huffing or being intoxicated due to it.
Instead, New Jersey officers slapped her with the state's seat belt law.
She was also charged with vehicular homicide, but as part of plea arrangement she pled guilty to the third-degree offense of recklessly causing severe bodily injury to a passenger.
After being sentenced to 180 days in county jail and three years of probation, she appealed.
In her appeal, she contended that her "minor traffic" violation of the seat belt violation could not serve as a basis to support a conviction for recklessly causing severe injury.
However, the New Jersey Supreme Court begged to differ.
The high court concluded that the NJ seat belt law "does protect the community at large and not merely discrete individuals."
Ultimately, the incident inspired a bill called "Kimmie's Law," which would make it a crime for a driver to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of any amount of a prohibited inhalant.
The bill passed the Senate years ago during the 2012-2013 session, but the Assembly never took any action on it.
However, in light of this new ruling, the bill has been reintroduced this legislative session and has referred to the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee.
Among the chemicals that would be prohibited are Difluoroethane, a compound that was found in the driver's blood sample.
If you recently were charged with a crime in New Jersey, contact Rosenblum Law today at 888-815-3649 for a free consultation.

Mourinho sentenced for tax evasion
05 September 2018
Manchester United manager José Mourinho has been given a one-year jail sentence for tax evasion. Mourinho was found by Spanish authorities to be guilty of using shell companies in offshore territories to conceal image rights earnings from tax authorities. He funnelled money through Koper Services SA, located in the British Virgin Islands, in 2011 and 2012 and attempted to declare these as offshore earnings from a functioning company.
He wont be spending time in prison, however, as Spanish law allows first-time offenders to serve sentences of under two years on probation. This wouldnt be the first time a footballer has been accused of tax evasion. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were involved in similar cases, and also avoided time in prison.
Mourinho was given a fine of nearly 2 million - equivalent to 60% of the amount defrauded, which totalled to 3.3 million.

How To Regrow Hair Employing All-natural Strategies

- Comment : 0
In contrast to healthier hair, the hair over-processed is weak and lacks adequate moisture and protein structure. Note: The smell of beer will not stay on your hair if you let your hair dry naturally. Warm coconut oil also assists in removing dandruff if apply oil massage can also aid you fall asleep simply. Soon after shampooing, place a few drops of rosemary important oil in your hand and rub it by way of your wet hair. Do this at least once a week to give your hair significantly-required nourishment and care. I have Olive Pomace Oil rather of Further Virgin Olive Oil and I want to know if it is okay to place it in my hair. Comb your hair employing a wide toothed brush and wait for 5-6 minutes and then rinse.
Then re-dip your fingertips in the oil in your palm and stroke over the hair a small farther up from the ends. If that starts to weigh your hair down or leaves it feeling unpleasant, use it much less typically or change the amount of oil you utilized or length of time you left it on. It can add weight to assist with frizz and keep curls or waves defined and straight hair good and swing-y. The salicylic acid present in aspirin also helps to bring back the shine to your hair.
Queen Helene Hot Oil Therapies: This company makes a number of variations of the hot oil hair therapy. Once you have shampooed your hair and applied conditioner you ought to use a wide mouthed comb to detangle hair. Shampoo your hair as usual and then spray a tiny amount of beer onto your hair. Taking very good care of your hair, eating a wholesome diet regime, utilizing high quality hair care goods meant for your hair variety and employing some more than-the-counter conditioners can avert it from drying out. Rub your fingertips lightly in the oil and stroke more than the ends of your hair with your fingertips. Olive oil therapy is a element of oil massage in scalp therapy that we discussed earlier in out list of leading 10 house treatments for hair.
If your hair is seriously dehydrated from a chemical treatment (coloring, highlighting, perms, relaxing) or from a lot of swimming or time in the sun or dry wind – that's a fantastic time for an oil pre-wash. For even a lot more hair conditioning, verify out this other intriguing ingredient you can make a hair mask with or do my DIY jojoba oil rinse And never overlook to constantly follow the rules of healthful hair ! I 1st applied the oil therapy then washed my hair and applied a organic leave in conditioner (Just natural hair care). Items with keratin in them (like shampoo…not keratin straightening treatment options!!) are also wonderful for dry hair. Mix together 3 eggs, two tablespoons of olive oil and a single tablespoon of honey. This may be you if your hair is normal porosity and porous on the ends – but not necessarily each time you use an oil pre-wash.
Yes… Genuinely.. Olive oil does operate.. I use olive oil along wid almond oil.. My hair has turn out to be really soft , silky n shiny.. Thanks a lot!! Men and women with incredibly curly or permed hair are generally not pleased with the outcomes, mainly due to the overwhelming quantity of work it requires to preserve their permed hair or naturally curly hair beneath manage. If you want the oil to penetrate your hair (assuming you have utilized some amount of hair-penetrating oils), leave it on for anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 or eight or 12 hours or an whole day. Just take 1 tablespoon of vinegar in ½ cup of water and apply on your damp hair.

After failed rape attempt, a tour guide faces two charges
In the courts, a twenty-one year old Belize City tour guide who allegedly preyed on a sixteen year old student was arraigned today. The charges relate to an incident on the night of December twenty-seventh when Edward Lizama allegedly attacked the young girl near the Cumberbatch Field in the Yarborough area. The minor claims Lizama grabbed her by the blouse and attempted to drag her into a dark area of the street. But she didn't go without a fight and screamed for help until neighbors heard her cry and came to her rescue. During the struggle, the teen was choked and bitten twice; once on the cheek and again on her hand. Since it is a sensitive case, Lizama was arraigned en camera on charges of Aggravated Assault of an Indecent Nature and Harm. He was released on bail of four thousand dollars and is due back in court on January twenty-eighth, 2011. Lizama was also expected to be charged for an alleged arson, but that matter didn't come up today.

300 pounds a week?!?! wow! 50 lasts me about 10 days for 10 goats..so I guess mine get about 1/2 pound sweet feed each day. (wethers and dry does)
I know what you mean about the weedy stuff! I just got into this years hay and it is fine grasses in one batch or coarse in the other..give me weeds!! LOL. Although, my pasture is now covered in self-heal from the seeds in last year's weedy hay...
and they don't really like that..

I always learn so much from you! We are doing many of the same things with our gals... we use lesbedeza for our hay. It is supposed to be a natural dewormer. We deworm quarterly with Cydectin, Safeguard, and Valbazen. The herbals didn't work well for my gals as they came with lots of problems.
The gals won't eat the pellets either. We use Southern States Sweet Goat feed, 1-11/2 qt. per gal, depending on season and milking, pregnant, or dry.
How do you manage foot care? I have two who have hooves that grow sideways. No matter how much I trim them, they keep coming back. Ideas??
I love having another goat person to chat with! Thanks!
BTW, Lanie is just as you predicted! Her leg is completely healed and she is dancing and running like a wild child. She is now on grain, 1 cup, per day, and is slowly weaning! She is beautiful!

Matty That is great about Lanie! I am so glad she is better!
Hoof trimming is the one thing I am a slacker on. It takes me forever. I am thinking of getting one of those little hand held sanders to help.
Lespedza is a GREEAT hay!! I wish I could find more.. But its not to popular around here yet.
If they grow sideways then maybe trim where its pushing it out. Not necessarily they part that is growing out. Kind of hard to explain with out some kind of picture..

That sounds like an awful lot of work! But then anything worth doing is a lot of work. I know what you mean about the hay. Our sheep were the same way - either they liked it or they didn't it and if they didn't like it, they'd waste so much! Interesting information and beautiful animals.

Goodwife-I used a freezer like that before but I prefer these barrels. The freezers are kind of hard to find around here..

It is well worth it and I have help..

I do sell goats milk. Its legal to sell it from the farm or delivery to the final customer here in MO.
It is sweet with a consistency of whole milk. If it taste goaty there is something not quite right! Fresh cheese is the best in my opinion.. I make Chevre after my friend showed me how and its easier than the vinegar cheese I make. You can do all sorts of things with it!

text: Big Food must be getting nervous - they are starting to tell the Big Lie. I have noticed the pattern in several readings recently, most recently this morning when a rep of BF was quoted in a column about the White House cook and gardener that "organic and locally grown is more expensive and you don't get any nutritional benefit from it." Wow! Takes a lot of nerve and ignores a lot of science to make that statement. I guess we have officially become a threat.

No Turning Back
A Fiction Snapshot
The landlord showed me the place: a basement apartment with no view, no windows, out of sight, invisible to the world. It was perfect. There wasn't much room either, but that was okay. All I needed was a place to lay my head and drink myself into a stupor until things blew over, assuming they would ever calm down. I think we'd outdone ourselves this time. Some things you just can't turn back from. Maybe this was one of 'em.
I looked at the short but muscular man with the lazy eye and broken English. His one good eye widened in surprise when I pulled out the stack of bills from my back pocket. Couldn't blame him though. Didn't look like a place people paid rent on time.
"I'll take it. Here's enough for the first and second month of rent."
I paid it all upfront just in case things continued to go south real fast. Louie warned all of us to split up and find a low-key place until he came for each of us and told us our next move. The landlord gave me the key and left. I sat on the edge of the mattress and poured myself the first drink. I took a moment of silence for Louie. None of us expected him to be the one to die last night. And now we had no plan. Just loads of cash and dead bodies.
