In a recent talk I gave on his life and thought, I tried to explain that John Henry Newman is an especially important saint for our times, in large part because of the modernity of his faith. He lived in a culture that, in spite of some obvious differences, is nevertheless very close to our own. But he did not just live in this culture, he was also a part of it. His inner life and thought was shaped by it, and so, therefore, was his faith. Newman, in other words, shows us what holiness looks like in today's world.
In a recent interview Pope Benedict XVI expresses the same point better than I did. Asked about the significance of Newman, he answered (in part)
Newman is, above all, a modern man who lived the whole problem of modernity, who also lived the problem of agnosticism, the problem of the impossibility of knowing God, of believing… This interior modernity of his life implies the modernity of his faith. It is not a faith in formulas of past times but a very personal faith, lived, suffered, found in a long journey of renewal and conversion. (my italics)
Reading this reminded me of another perceptive author, Romano Guardini, who also singles out Newman as a uniquely modern saint. In his Letters from Lake Como, which is a beautiful but also somewhat depressing reflection on the modern, technological world, he expresses his conviction that in an age like ours—"uncertain, skeptical, seeking, and homeless"—believers "must stand directly before God." They must be deeply rooted in themselves, and in the God they find there, in order to come to grips with the world around them. Newman, Guardini thinks, is a great example of this:
I know people who relate with skeptical clarity to scientific inquiries but who, along with their lack of illusions, still bear in their souls a belief that is not affected by liberal and rationalistic attenuation but derives instead from what is above nature. Newman's greatness was not that he said this or that but that he gave expression to this attitude in his soul. This belief becomes greater and stronger, and under its clear coldness it shelters an inner fire that makes it the equal of the faith of primitive Christianity and the Middle Ages.
I am not sure if Newman's relation to the modern scientific world is aptly described by terms like "clear coldness" and "skeptical clarity." Something like "serene confidence" (in the unity of all truth) seems better. But Guardini is right about the inward depth of Newman's faith, the "inner fire" and conviction of it, and about the fact that it does not rely on the "external" supports that so many of us need. Newman's faith is rooted in and fed by a direct, interior, and intimate relation with God. This is how he could be so brutally honest about the many objections to Christianity, including those he couldn't answer, without being in any way shaken by them. "Ten thousand difficulties do not make one doubt… difficulty and doubt are incommensurate."
The interiority and independence of Newman's faith, and thus in some ways its modernity, also comes through in these well-known lines from the Apologia:
I look out of myself into the world of men, and there I see a sight which fills me with unspeakable distress. The world seems simply to give the lie to that great truth [the existence of God], of which my whole being is so full; and the effect upon me is, in consequence, as a matter of necessity, as confusing as if it denied that I am in existence myself. If I looked into a mirror, and did not see my face, I should have the sort of feeling which actually comes upon me, when I look into this living busy world, and see no reflexion of its Creator. This is, to me, one of the great difficulties of this absolute primary truth, to which I referred just now. Were it not for this voice, speaking so clearly in my conscience and my heart, I should be an atheist, or a pantheist, or a polytheist when I looked into the world. I am speaking for myself only; and I am far from denying the real force of the arguments in proof of a God, drawn from the general facts of human society ..., but these do not warm me or enlighten me; they do not take away the winter of my desolation, or make the buds unfold and the leaves grow within me, and my moral being rejoice. The sight of the world is nothing else than the prophet's scroll, full of "lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Up to 5 Fayette schools may be candidates for closure, BoE says
he Fayette County Board of Education late this summer will consider closing up to four elementary schools and a middle school to help offset falling tax revenues.
The school board at the conclusion of the May 2 workshop left Superintendent Jeff Bearden with instructions to provide information on the potential closure of Fayette Middle School, Fayetteville Intermediate School, Hood Avenue Primary School, Tyrone Elementary and Brooks Elementary schools. The closure options will also include opening Rivers Elementary School.
Bearden in April had proposed to close Fayette Middle, Hood Avenue Primary and Fayetteville Intermediate and open Rivers Elementary as a way to help offset the school system that is facing significant decreasing revenues from plummeting local tax revenues and falling student enrollment that generates approximately $4,000 per student from state sources.
Each of the schools initially proposed for closure are located in the Fayetteville school board district represented by Bob Todd who, unlike at least three of the remaining four board members, is not up for reelection this year.
The discussion among board members at the May 2 workshop ended with Bearden being asked to develop four optional closure plans for consideration. Those include:
1. Bearden's original proposal for closing Fayette Middle, Hood Avenue Primary and Fayetteville Intermediate and opening Rivers;
2. Bearden's proposal and closing Tyrone Elementary;
3. Bearden's proposal and closing Brooks Elementary; or
4. Bearden's proposal and closing both Tyrone and Brooks.
The May 2 meeting was scheduled to hear the details behind Bearden's April recommendation to close Fayette Middle, Hood Avenue and Fayetteville Intermediate and open Rivers Elementary northwest of the city.
Bearden at the outset on May 2 said the goal of the meeting was to identify the schools to be closed, to send that information to the redistricting committee to determine proposed school boundary lines and to bring that information back to the school board at a meeting in July or August.
Bearden then answered the nearly two dozen questions pertaining to the closure recommendation that surfaced at the April 9 board meeting. Bearden in his comments also noted that his rationale for the recommendation included the point that all three schools are centrally located and would provide an opportunity for the school system to rent the buildings or use them for other educational purposes. The age of the facilities played a role in the recommendation since the three schools, along with Brooks Elementary, are the four oldest schools in the county, Bearden said at the April meeting.
The subsequent discussion by the board on May 2 included questions about other considerations such as enrollment, pupil cost, future maintenance costs, operations costs and the elementary-middle-high school feeder pattern.
Noting the additional variables being discussed, Chairman Leonard Presberg told Bearden, "We need to look at a proposal that includes more schools than your original proposal."
Bearden in response to the discussion referenced the possible closure of two additional elementary schools, those in Brooks and Tyrone. Both schools have a higher pupil cost due to lower enrollment.
Additionally, Brooks Elementary is one of the oldest schools in the county and Tyrone Elementary is outfitted with a septic system that will eventually present financial challenges for the school system, according to school system Facilities Director Mike Satterfield. Essentially running on half a septic system for more than a decade, the eventual failure at some point in the future will leave the school board faced with acquiring sufficient adjacent land to install another septic system or spending $250,000-750,000 to tie onto the town's limited sewer system.
Bearden at the meeting said closing all four elementary schools and opening Rivers Elementary would bring the county's elementary schools to an 85-87 percent capacity and would save more than $3 million per year.
The next meeting to discuss the board's preference on the optional plans is expected to come at a workshop in July or August. The board at that time is expected to make a decision that will provide the school boundary redistricting committee with the information needed to begin its work.
Public hearings will also be held to solicit public input. The entire process is expected to be completed in December in time for the implementation that will take effect in the 2013-2014 school year.
Administrators are paid on a salary scale that has not provided for any raises in at least six years. Unless someone's gotten a promotion, there've been no raises.
My source of information is open.ga.gov. I compared the income for each person that made over 100k in 2010 to what they made in 2011. Feel free to check for yourself.
That is because employees took a 4 1/2% pay cut the year before and then it was returned to them.
OK I'll take your word for the question of raises. But my original question remains. What sacrifices are Dr Bearden and staff making as compared to the rank and file?
These are the toughest times economically that we've encountered in a long time, possibly our lifetimes. It isn't easy to solve the budgetary problems our school system faces. Dr. Bearden's original propoal is sound and would result in continued quality education for all students. Whatever the outcome, I am confident the decision will be made with every consideration for all concerns. Let's give him some support and think big picture. None of us wants empty classrooms and wasted resources.
My concern with Dr Bearden and his staff is that I have not heard what sacrifices they are making to help out. I've heard lots about school closings and teacher layoffs. Hits to cafeteria workers and bus drivers. But as far as I know the ivory tower has been untouched. In fact if you compare their salary for 2011 to 2010 by using open.ga.gov you will see that they got pay increases. It's easy to make hard choices as long as they always hurt other people.

Uh-oh -- Past Regina has discovered that life in Storybrooke is a lot like life in Punxsutawney, circa February 2, 1993. The repetition of day-to-day interactions isn't what bothers her, though. Instead, it's the fact that everyone in town is under her thumb just because she's forced them to be that way. (Picture your girlfriend saying that she wants you to want to see The Vow with her.)
At least there's one bright spot on the horizon: little Owen, who gives the queen a lanyard that warms the dark cockles of her black, black heart. Regina invites the kid and his dad to dinner -- lasagna and apple turnovers, naturally -- where she learns that the Flynns have recently lost their missus. What luck; there's a Regina-shaped hole in this family, assuming the lady Flynn was fairly shapely! Because she hasn't yet learned that Earth people are just a wee bit more naturally suspicious than Fairy Land folk, Regina goes ahead and asks Kurt if he and Owen would like to stay in Storybrooke and play with her... forever. Kurt, perhaps finally remembering his Stephen King, wisely lets her down easy and then moves to get the hell out of Dodge.
Regina gets wind of Kurt's plan and quickly draws out Sheriff Skinnyjeans's heart, ordering the bearded lawman to arrest Mr. Flynn and keep him from leaving town. You've got to love how she just talks into it, as though his left ventricle were a walkie-talkie. Unfortunately, Kurt walks into her office just in time to hear the crazy lady giving orders to a glowing, plastic organ... then gets confirmation that something seriously weird is happening when Graham bursts in and tries to tackle him. And that, folks, is why nobody should ever go camping.
Back to the future! Emma and Bae decide the best thing for Henry will be to ship him off to New York, where Regina's magic can't touch him (even though the Jolly Roger's magic apparently works there. Eh, a technicality). Henry, however, has other plans. In his mind, people don't kill people -- spells kill people, meaning that the only way to stop the madness consuming his family is to get rid of all the town's magic. And the only way for him to get rid of Storybrooke's mystical powers is by... tossing some lit dynamite down the Wishing Well. Wait, what? Did Wile E. Coyote suggest this plan?
NEXT: Curse you, Warner Brothers!!

Iran's culture minister said Monday that his country will boycott the 2013 Oscars in the wake of the anti-Islam video made in the United States that denigrates the Prophet Muhammad.
An Iranian film won an Oscar in the foreign film category in February. But Mohammed Hosseini said the Islamic Republic would not field an entry for next year's awards due to the low-budget video he dubbed "an intolerable insult to the Prophet of Islam," the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported. Hosseini urged other Islamic countries to also boycott.
He confirmed that the committee in charge of selecting Iran's entry has already picked Ye Habbeh Ghand, or A Cube of Sugar — a film about a family wedding turning into a funeral when the groom's relative dies — to compete for best foreign film.
Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won the 2012 Oscar for best foreign film for his movie, A Separation — the first such prize for Iran. READ FULL STORY

Some say you can still hear the souls of the murdered creeping listlessly about these famous crime scenes, some even claim to have seen them.
A mysterious clown is stalking an English town while creating a stir by anonymously posting on Facebook.
This death-row interview with the serial killer who called himself "Coast to Coast" for the geographic reach of his 30-year rampage, provides the viewer with a good look into the dark abyss that is the mind of a true serial killer; it is not for the faint-hearted.
Former New Jersey funeral director Steven Finley, convicted of desecrating corpses to sell the parts on the medical transplant market and barred from ever being a mortician again, was discovered working at a cemetery to the shock of the community and the families of his victims.
Before it came out that puppeteer Ronald Brown was allegedly involved in all sorts of child porn rings and planned to kill and eat a young child, he appeared on the Christian children's show Joy Junction along with his puppet Marty. In this clip from the show, Marty confesses to Ron that some friends showed him "dirty pictures."

This 8W LED T8 Tube, selected for its high quality by Lyco, is intended as a replacement for an 18W T8 fluorescent tube. Aside from offering around 55% more energy efficiency, the lifespan of this LED lamp is vastly longer than most fluorescent tubes at 50,000 hours.
Emitting 800 lumens of 5,000K cool white 'daylight' illumination, the 8W LED T8 Tube is ideal for task-lighting purposes in domestic or commercial environments. It can be installed in kitchens, offices, or healthcare settings, where its output will help stimulate alertness and reduce the likelihood of eyestrain or headaches.
A CRI 80 score denotes high-quality colour rendering from this tube, making it a good choice for most general-purpose applications. With LED being a naturally directional light source, the LED T8 Tube includes rotating G13 end caps that allow you to aim its light for optimal effect.
Please note: when installing the LED T8 Tube as a retrofit fluorescent replacement, the ballast in the light fitting must be bypassed before connecting the new tube. This involves disconnecting all wires to the ballast and existing lampholders, and reconnecting incoming wires directly to the end caps of the LED replacement. If in any doubt, a qualified electrician should be contacted for installation.
A long 5-year manufacturer's guarantee is supplied as standard with this tube, for added peace of mind.
The dimensions of the 8W LED T8 Tube are:

I'm working on Grandbaby No. 6's baby quilt and all going well (finally found my bobbins! Hooray!)except for a couple of things. I found some really cute designs online so downloaded them into my Embird program to use. Found out they are really poor quality stitch sequence (too many of what I call "cross" or "waste" threads) plus, the biggie reason, the outline stitch totally MISSES the edge, leaving me with gaps to have to hand embroider. So watch out when choosing designs online. Try as a sample first to prevent dissapointment.
Regarding "cross" or "waste" threads, anyone know a way to get that last tiny short bit of fuzz left from them cut off? My scissors are too big, and the seam ripper won't work if I have no way to hold the thread taut. |

Use a lighter and move it swiftly over the spot with the poking thread and that fuzz will magically disappear. If you send me the design I will look at it and see if I can fix it. |

I think the coons have been in the back yard. Several of my newly planted flowers have been dug up. I had a beautiful batch of watercress floating in a styrofoam floating ring and all of a sudden there's hardly any of them left. Its in my really small preform, so I think they can reach it from the side.
I'm glad my stocktanks don't have a shelf around the sides. Still, the coons find something to mess up. |

Are there any snails in your pond? That might me what they were after. |
If I had to guess I would say that the pond temperatures are going up and the watercress has died back for the summer. I know my watercress in my pond has died back. When it did it died back fast. But it will be back this fall and next winter I will be pulling 50 lbs every two weeks out of the stream. Mike |

Oh, so it likes cool weather? |
No it loves cool or cold weather. If you can keep it in unfrozen water it will stay green all winter and grow like crazy. Mike |

Thanks for that info mike. |
I have grown watercress for years and yes it does prefer cooler temperatures, but it does not die back in the summer here and we have hot summers. It becomes slightly "woody" with thick stalks and lots of leaves. If you plan to use it in salads etc, the leaves from the tips are best during summer. Some people grow mustard cress thinking it is True Watercress (Nasturtium officinale). "Horton" |
Here is a link that might be useful: Watercress Nasturtium officinale
Is it safe to assume the grocery store 'watercress' is true watercress? I bought some a week ago, placed it in the top of the waterfall as well sticking pieces out from rocks (with the stems in the water) and it definitely rooted fast, within 6 days. The price was right. Tonight I saw three Blue Jays splashing around in the top of the waterfall among the watercress, though I assume all they were after was a drink of water and a bath (the watercress didn't look at all harmed). I've never noticed so many birds visiting the pond since I redid my waterfall. Glen |
Glen, you would hope so, but since many people had never even heard of True Watercress, prior to having a pond or knew you could use it in salads, etc, you never can tell what a store may put out there and call it Watercress. The cress family has many variants, most are edible, some like to grow in water some do not. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cress information.
Is it safe to eat plants grown in the pond or bog? |
I think its probably not coons because when I made a floating island, they tore it to pieces the 2nd night. You would know if your pond was covered in styrofoam 'snow'. Min |

ArduPilot Add-Ons
The best thing about a DIY drone (from a gift perspective) is that there are always opportunities to expand capabilities, make modifications and customize. In other words, it is ripe for future gifts ideas.
One cool upgrade is the 3DR Radio Telemetry Kit, $74.99
What it Does
In addition to wireless control, you may want to get sensor data back to your ground station. This is called telemetry.
Why it's Cool
Provides about 1 mile range, so you can transmit data to the ground. This radio can be interfaced to the ArduPilot via a serial connection. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

What is a pregnancy test tweak? - Tweakers use various photo programs to analyze your HPT to see if we can pull out a faint pink line for an early BFP!!
For all the "indents" - Indentation line is where the antibody test strip is. On some tests this line looks like it is indented into the pregnancy test, on some tests you can clearly see the edges of the antibody strip causing to insanely thin lines to appear in the test line area. An Indent occurs when the dye runs across the test strip, if there is any HCG detected in your urine the "Indention Line" will turn pink. If not the indention line will stay white/gray, During a tweak this line is often drug out.
So if any of you have a test you would like to have tweaked, post it here and we would be happy to give you a tweak! Most of the time our tweaks are very accurate however, remember that we tweak for fun and are not doctors :)
Typical Tweaking "Rules": Please take your pictures within 10 minutesto prevent drying to help with accurate tweaking. Please lay your test FLAT on a surface because holding it in the air can cause pixelation and fake lines!! PLEASE take your photos with the macro setting on your camera. If a picture is too blurry, we cannot give you an accurate tweak. Also, don't worry about getting too close to the test. We can zoom in and crop if need be.
We do not tweak blue dye tests. They are notorious for false positives and are too unreliable. Please follow up any line on blue dye with pink and I will be happy to tweak it.
Sensitivity of Pink Dye tests:
First Response Early Result (5 & 6 days sooner)-6.3mIU
Dollar Store or Dollar Tree- 25-50mIU (White case is 25, purple case is 50)
Answer Brand-25mIU
First Response Rapid Result- 50-100mIU
Internet Cheapie/Midstream tests- 10-25mIU
Accuclear- 25-50mIU
Old Equate Brand Walmart- White Cap: 25mIU/Purple Cap: 50mIU
Photo Tips: Upload your photos to your Baby Center photos and then cut and paste them in this thread OR upload them to Photobucket (free) and copy the HTML code on this thread!!
Also tweakers please do not invert test as it gives false hope. Also please do NOT mess with SATURATION!!!

Continuous Integration vs. Continuous Perfection
Continuous integration is about confronting your risk. It's about giving rapid feedback and responding to problems that you may encounter in your development environment.
If you're Agile, you know one principle is adaptation. It's not about sticking to the plan; it's about exposing and responding to change in your development cycle. This is why the principles of continuous integration and Agile walk hand in hand.
Delaying the inevitable risk of code integration doesn't mean the risk will disappear. Each line of code you change is a risk. Each commit you do is a risk. You can't avoid the risk by putting it off. Just like anything, if you were going to bottle up all of that risk, let it ferment for a few months and open it later… I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to drink the whole bottle in one gulp. It really only takes one sip to know the concoction is bad.
Continuous Perfection is one of the reasons we bottle up the risk. Let me give you an example.
We set up continuous build on trunk, we encourage our developers to integrate early and often, life is good…. until the day of the broken build.
If it's broken for even a day, panic ensues, we've issued blame to developers for something they should not be responsible for, a stoppage in work for organization. People will feel rushed to resolve issues, the QA team will stop testing, and our release engineer will struggle to roll back code. Essentially, people will be running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Our management teams do what they do best, they listen to the release team, QA team and the dev team. "Joe Developer broke the build, it's his fault that we can't work today".
When did the broken build become such a big deal?
This scenario may repeat itself, over the course of several weeks our mangers will react, and start asking developers to put in process to avoid breaking the build. Our teams will start to feel that their code must be perfect before they commit. This problem is called Continuous Perfection, it's the idea that the code must be perfect before it's committed to the repository.
And doesn't this seem to work against the principles of continuous integration? The idea here was that we integrate early and often to avoid Integration Hell and the Big Bang merge. We want to confront and work through our problems right now. But now we've started to go back to what we do naturally. Isolate changes, put off the inevitable and work off of our private branches. Our developers do local builds to make sure the builds work correctly, and jump through hoops to avoid committing to early in fear of being blamed. We are back where we started, with a huge merge at the end of the project that could fail everything. We bottled up all our risk, and ended up in a more dangerous place then we intended.
But what can we do to solve this problem ? To be continued…

So much of the early African-American experience relies on a verbal history. A journey that covered free men, indentured servants (along with many white Europeans) , slaves and back again to freedom. A work in progress, The James Madison Museum is still gathering documents, photographs and what few artifacts are available to us to construct a permanent exhibit that tells the story of the African American experience in Orange, Virginia.
Forgotten Patriots of the American Revolution, accomplished through the generosity of Mrs. Margaret Johnston, is our first permanent exhibit. Though not specific to Orange itself, Orange County – as all of Virginia – was part of that great struggle for independence.
As funds become available, the Museum plans to design and install another permanent exhibit that covers the histories and experiences of African-American families in Orange, Virginia.
On October 5, 2013, the Museum added two permanent exhibits to continue our Black History presentation. "Slavery in the Rappahannock Region," and "Post-Emancipation in Orange, Virginia."

Five seasons later, the cast of the 'Jersey Shore' have become reality stars whose fame keeps evolving along with their style!
Source: Getty Images
She is heavier than the rest of the Cast, but the sad part is, in PERSON, she looks sooo thin! .. The camera does NO JUSTICE to anyone! ... If she looks like an averaged weight girl in person, imagine what the other girls look like! ( Anorexic! ) But I love them all :))
it's not nice to say , but she is to chubby. If she would work out more , she would look great !
Her makeup has gotten a liiiiitle more natural, but the style of dress is still trashy.

G.A.T.G. ~ Breeding & Birthing
This page is for information in general on goats. Some if not most was information and lessons I have learned along the way. I have over ten years of working with goats, including a few years when I was a girl and since 2004 with my own herd. My intention with this page is to help you understand the basics of goats. Hopefully to help some folks understand that its like having any other pet or farm animal...... Take care of them & they'll love you and give you sooo.... much in return! Whether you get a goat as "just a pet" or for dairy use or raising them for meat. Maybe you are here because you seek to know a bit more about another animal. Great either way. I hope I can help to answer some myths, fibs or even help you in your quest if you are raising or thinking of raising goats. Please remember; I am not a vet. Nor will I pretend that I know all about goats! I myself am still learning and that's what makes it even more interesting! If the day should come where you know everything there is to know about the animals you keep, well, it becomes boring I guess. As for goat's they seem to always keep you guessing!
If you have any questions regarding goats, please email me.
When deciding to increase your herd by breeding your does. The factor exists to use a buck from someone else that has one, or to keep a buck on your place. Having a buck is not for everyone. When considering this take into account some of these things;
Keeping a Buck usually requires a separate pen. This way you don't get your does pregnant at unplanned intervals. Some does will come into heat as early as July, this means you would get December kids. Or they may come into heat in January or February then you would get June - July kids. These conditions(the weather) are not always ideal. Depending on your area. To hot or too cold can be hard on your does even risk losing her kids. Ideally, the best time to breed is in September or October, even as late as November. This will put your kids being born at spring time when the weather is warming.
When keeping a Buck, at a young age 4 to 6 months old he's still young enough to be cute and very easy to handle. As the buck gets older and is around does, especially if having bred them, he becomes a bit different. Bucks will start to have an odor that is VERY different than does. This mainly happens for 2 reasons. One factor being that they have musk glands on their head. Musk glands are a way for them to have a nice fragrance for the does to love at breeding time. Another factor is a habit of bucks to pee/urinate on themselves, especially the front legs & their nose. This may be odd or gross even, to say the least, but its the way they are. (If standing next to a buck you might want to watch yourself, so you don't get some on you!) When handling a buck that has his "odor" it might be a good idea to have a pair of gloves on that you may want to use for bucks only! Maybe some coveralls also. The smell doesn't wash out of clothes very well!
Bucks reach their height at about 2 yrs old. They will finish filling in with bulk for the next year or so. As in the neck & head. At age 4 a buck is usually at his peak size. The life span of a buck is about 8 years. When it gets close to breeding time, a buck can get very anxious. Especially if your does are in heat or come into heat and his pen is next to theirs. He might; pace the fence line, bristle up when you walk into his pen, threaten or even challenge you. Some have been known to charge their owners. At this time I always keep in mind--Watch your back!
* We don't keep a buck if he is bad tempered! A mean buck is no use to me!
Breeding does at what age..... This is really a preference to each owner! To start off with lets take into account a goats life span. Most does live up to about 9 to 10 years old. This has many variables ---- type of breed they are, how often they kidded, feed & care, even weather conditions they live in. So if you have a goat past 15 years of age it is probably slowing down or maybe not able to breed anymore. A dairy goat is considered old at the ripe age of 8 or 9 years!
Generally speaking if you are raising goats in a healthy way and they are growing good you can breed does at 5 to 6 months of age this puts them at 1 year old for their first kidding or you can wait and breed them at 1 1/2 years old, which then puts them kidding at 2 yr. old. Now the question may be; "Won't breeding them at a younger age stunt their growth?" No, not unless they were lacking in growth already (i.e., runt, poor background breed, or sickly). Most does will reach their size by age 2. By age 3 they have filled out and up all they are going to.
Takes 5 months for goats or 146 days to 153 days. Some does will come into heat as early as July, This means you would get December kids. Or they may come into heat in January or February then you would get June - July kids. These conditions(weather) are not always ideal. Depending on your area. To hot or too cold can be hard on your does even risk losing her kids. Ideally, the best time to breed is in September or October, even as late as November. This will put your kids being born at spring time when the weather is warming. This is generally the time when most goat owners choose to breed their does.
Heat cycle is when a doe is in estrus. This is the time when the egg is ready to be fertilized by a buck. This usually occurs naturally because of the shorter days & longer nights of fall. Nature has it this way so that it will put babies on the ground when grasses come up in the spring and food is more abundant. When a doe is in heat she will show indications by any or all of these; wagging her tail a lot, bleating a lot, pacing, riding other does or acting "buck like." If a buck is in a pen next to the doe she will "hang out" by his fence and he will talk to her, paw at the fence or even jump the fence! Heat cycles last about 36 hours. However, some does can show signs of heat for 1 week from start to finish. The actual estrus or time she will permit the buck to breed her is very short..... usually 24 hrs to 36 hours. Then she will go another 17 to 24 days before her next heat cycle.
*Keeping track on a calendar or in a notebook is very helpful to know your does. Young does may be harder to tell their heat cycle. Sometimes they may even have no signs or appear to come into heat 1 week then the next week. This is not uncommon. Just a bit harder to tell. If you have bred your doe with a buck. Then in another 17 to 24 days if she doesn't have another heat cycle, then she "took" her breeding.
*If you have a doe that keeps coming into heat and never takes a breeding then you might want to look into if she is the problem or is the buck infertile. In many cases the doe won't take a breeding because she may be too old. If that is not the case & the doe simply won't "take" and you know your buck is fertile, then the doe may be sterile.
Again this is a matter of preference. Usually with goats, once a year is enough. Especially if you are raising them for milking or just pets. Some folks will breed right after a doe kids to get another batch of kids on the ground, but this is usually done with meat goats or resale purposes. (And yes, some will come into heat right after kidding) It is advisable to let the doe wait until next breeding season to get her bred again. This way she has time for recovery & healing. Also it maintains her health better. If using your goats as a dairy herd & wanting better/longer lactation, then try staggering the breeding of your does. This way they don't all "freshen" at the same time.
The normal amount is 2. However, this varies from doe to doe. A doe could have any where from 1 - 4, and in some cases 6 (this is more apt with pygmy goat's). We've had does that will have 1 one year then 3 the next year, then 1 again and so on. We also have some does that will give twins every year or some that even the first kidding have birthed 3 (triplets! That was a surprise!). First timers don't normally have triplets. But her Momma always had triplets..... so it is somewhat genetic. However one of her half sisters only has twins every year.
This is the exciting part of raising goats! Though a bit tense at the same time. I find myself making a gazillion trips out to the goats pen
checking up on the girls to see if anyone has started labor! Is there any signs of labor going to start, did one of them kid while I was gone. I
have their due dates wrote down, so it should be today, right? I'm very anxious to get the babies on the ground. I like being there when they
kid. I've been doing this awhile and its still a wonder to me. One moment you're wondering what color its gonna be, a buck or doe, or how
many. Then you find yourself smiling ear to ear when they first try talking to their momma.
You can find a video of one of our goats giving birth
here. Please be aware the content contains bodily fluids, including
How to tell when your does is in labor. Hopefully you have gotten to know your doe before her due date. This will make it somewhat easier to tell if she is in labor. Each doe will handle labor & delivery a bit different. Just like women do. Some want to cuddle up to you, some pull away & don't want you near them. Some are yellers while others are extremely quiet. Indications of labor can be very subtle or very noticeable. One of the things I look for is udder fill. This is especially noticeable on does who have kidded before. Generally they will have some udder filling the last week of pregnancy but the udder will get very full and tight! This is a sure sign they are in labor. Though it may be a light labor. You can almost always expect to have babies within 12 - 24 hours at this point. Another sign may be a discharge. Though I have had does have a discharge for a month before off and on, if there is a lot of upsets in the herd.
Most does will pull from the rest of the herd and go off by themselves, usually to a quiet stall or corner. If standing back and watching your doe, try to see if she hunches her back, the tail will come up during a contraction or tilt to the side. She may stand up and lay down ALOT! Usually you don't need to assist the birth, so with this assumption..... what to expect!
First you will see a bubble of fluid, clear to amber colored. The doe will usually be doing a lot of pushing & may cry out some, or grunting. This first sack of fluid will break and she will most likely start licking at it. This is good actually. It helps her start better lactation as well as it gets her familiar with her own babies smell. Also in nature its a way to keep the smell down, from predators.
Now a larger bag of fluid will appear with the kid in it. A hoof will/should be visible, followed closely by another front hoof. To tell if its a front hoof the point of the hoof will be pointing upward. If it's a back hoof it will point down. Ideally frontwards is better, however goats can deliver kids backwards if labor is not too long. The nose will appear next laying on top of the legs. Sometimes the tongue will be out -- don't worry this is normal. The hardest part for the doe is delivering the head. She usually will rest for a moment after the head is out. At this point if the bag of waters has broken, if you want, you could clean off the nose with a clean towel/rag so the kid doesn't get too much mucus in its lungs. However if the bag of water has not broken then leave well enough alone. As the doe delivers the shoulders then the kid will slide out very easily at this point. Remember at any time of the delivery process the doe can or may get up and down a lot. Some stand to deliver some will lay the whole time others may get up and down at the darndest times, even with the kid hanging partly out. Once the baby is out you can help the doe clean her baby with a towel. She should lick it clean.
After all the kids are delivered. The doe will deliver the afterbirth. It's a blue pink color. (This is the sack that contained all the babies) This you can scoop up and throw out. It is harder for the doe to clean this up. You might want to stick around to make sure the new kids get to nurse within the first few hours. They absolutely NEED this colostrum milk. It's imperative for their immune system. You may have to help them find the teat, I usually start it for them. What I mean by this is, the teat will have a waxy cap like on it. So I give it a test squirt on each teat. This is usually a very thick & sticky yellowish color.
After a couple of hours you can spray iodine on the umbilical cord right up to the belly. This keeps germs down. Especially if they were delivered in a dirty area. We spray all our kids no matter. Even when they have been delivered in a fresh bed of straw. If at any point of delivery you think something is amiss..... call a friend that knows about kidding/lambing or call a vet.
Enjoy the new kids!
After kidding a doe will have bleeding for a few weeks.(3 to 6 weeks) This is normal. It's natures way of cleaning out her uterus. This actually helps keep infections from entering while her uterus shrinks back down and the cervix goes back to normal. This bleeding starts out bright red and then changes to a brownish red. Eventually stopping all together. Some times it will seem more pronounced or heavier when the doe gets up from laying. The amount of activity will also make it heavier. After about a month or so when it has stopped we usually take a pair of scissors and trim off the hardened blood wads from the does tail. If you plan on milking the doe at this time you can also take advantage of using clippers on her udder and trim around the teats, sides & back of the udder to make it easier to milk her without pulling hairs! We take this time to do a hoof trim too. (usually the doe gets so big in the last two months of pregnancy that we don't get them up on the stantion, so this is a good time to do a complete check on her! Then we end it with a good brushing.
A bit of interesting facts about Goat's milk. Goat's milk is one of the easiest milks for humans to digest. Why? It's in the fat globules. Goat milk is naturally homogenized. In other words the fat globules are smaller in goat milk than in cows. In cows milk these fat globules cluster together, hence the homogenization process. In goat milk they are so small and don't cluster.
Are you "Lactose Intolerant"? Have you been drinking goats milk because of this or thinking about drinking it? All animal milks contain lactose (this is the milk sugar) Yet, some people can drink Goat's milk and supposedly be Lactose Intolerant..... so it has nothing to do with "Lactose intolerance". It's all on how our body can tolerate or process certain milks & their proteins. (My opinion)
For instance; Cows milk contains Alpha S1 casein proteins..... Human milk & Goat milk do not have this protein. This is the protein that usually causes a problem with most people. It can not be digested easily, it usually sets in your stomach to ferment then causing problems, with symptoms such as; belly ache/pain, cramping sensation, gas or bloating.
Goats milk is digested in 20 min. where as cows milk can take up to nearly a full day!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Viola, a McKinney Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in McKinney, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in McKinney.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in McKinney already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a McKinney breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in McKinney paves the way for another one to be saved.

NEC MultiSync X461UN Review
Aug 7, 2009 12:00 PM, By Jeff Sauer
Ultranarrow bezel, expansion slot, and mounting brackets make this display a natural for videowalls.
Related Links | ||||
In my testing, the NEC's colors were very good although shaded, heavily in some cases, toward blue. That's not surprising for a public display that needs to cut through light and grab attention. I was extremely impressed with the NEC's grayscale curve, which rose smoothly from black to white in all preset configuration modes.
The new MultiSync X461UN represents an exciting possibility for videowall solutions. Visually, the new ultranarrow bezel affords nearly seamless images across videowall matrices. Technologically, NEC's now-mature TileMatrix and TileComp features, along with NEC's interconnecting wall brackets, help make building videowalls a lot easier. The increasing number of modules for NEC's expansion slot allows installers to minimize the parts of a public display videowall matrix through smarter onboard processing, more streamlined cabling, and options that allow for more creativity in making a big impression.
- Company: NEC
www.necdisplay.com - Product: MultiSync X461UN

Stark Logic specializes in internet marketing which includes both national and local campaigns. Regardless of where your target market is located (nationally or locally), there are different areas of real estate in the search results that you can target. For this discussion, we will go over the areas in Google's search engine since that engine accounts for 65% of all searches done online.
Google Places is Google's local search directory which pulls listings from all of the business directories on the web. In Google's search results, a local business has three different places they can market; 1) The pay per click ads at the top and on the right, 2) The Google places results in the middle of the page just below the pay per clicks, and 3) the organic/middle listings that can be found either above or below the Google Places results.
As a local company, you need to create different marketing strategies for each location. The pay per click ads are great because you can target companies based on a geographical location. However, these ads can be quite expenses. The Google Places and organic results are both free when people click on the links, but they take longer to get solid rankings.
Once you decide where you want to be, then comes the planning for each one.

This Week In DVD: Jiro Dreams of Sushi In The Deep Blue Sea, and Stephen Dorff Fights Evil From the Trunk Of a Car
Features By Rob Hunter on July 24, 2012 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In DVD! We take a look at fifteen new releases below, and a whopping eleven of them are good to great and worth your time! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Brake A man (Stephen Dorff) awakens in a plexiglass box that itself rests inside a car's trunk. Confused at first, he soon learns his captors are after a very specific piece of information they need to complete a terrorist attack. Can he hold out against their threats and actions? This film bears thematic similarities to 2009's Buried, but it's a far superior experience (at least until the end anyway). Dorff does a fine job as the highly stressed lead, the story's twists and turns are a solid mix of the expected, the smart and the unpredictable, and there are several genuinely exciting moments. Just be sure to turn it off about two minutes before the credits roll. [Extras: Commentary, featurette, music video]

El Parque
UPDATE: El Parque has closed.
El Parque, a playground and cafe for children and their parents, opened in Seminyak a few months ago and is a great addition to a fairly slim scene when it comes to easy places to take very young kids in Bali, particularly in Seminyak.
Yes, there's Cubbyhouse, but you have to be happy to leave your kids in the hands of staff; Lollipops is around the corner on Sunset Road, but that's loud and boisterous so better suited to older kids; and further afield, there's Funworld and the excellent Peekaboo, but the latter two are both a long way from Seminyak just to go for a play.
El Parque is a great option if you're staying in Seminyak in a resort without any safe space for young kids, or a budget place without a pool. Here, let the kids splash in the shallow pool — it's great for three-year-olds who can pick themselves up as you just need to keep an eye on them and not get in — dig in the sandpit, climb on the playground, suck on an icey block while they run on the grass, or play with the toys while you have a well-priced coffee and cake (or lunch or dinner).
We've been here several times now, and have found the staff to be friendly and helpful with the kids, and the food good, with an emphasis on healthy and organic items — there are even a few baby purees on the menu, which is a first for me to see in Bali. The kids have had the fries and chicken, and I've enjoyed the coffee and sacher torte, as well as a simple Sunday morning cappucino and toast with jam. Expect to pay around 40,000 per person for a light meal.
El Parque is a great option for breastfeeding mums, parents of toddlers and younger kids who aren't going to go too wild as the space isn't huge, but certainly enough for little ones. You do need to walk through a shop (selling a range of cute baby-related clothes, shoes and paraphernalia) to get into and out of the space, which is otherwise contained so you don't have to worry about little feet pattering off. The playground is also located just a hop, skip and a jump away from a Seminyak family hotel that we suggest.

"Delicious!! I think that regionally, people like their chili in varying degrees of thickness. I like it a little thicker,so I halved the broth, used an extra can of beans-drained two and used the liquid from two and added a drained can of white corn. Loved it!!

My name is Estrella!
Facts about Estrella

- Age: Adult

Estrella's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and not good with dogs.
Estrella is a 4 year old Aussie/Giant Schnauzer mix who weighs 70 pounds and has a full tail. She has the typical black-tri coloring and a broken coat. She is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met. She is house and crate trained, listens very well and is incredibly quiet. She comes from a home where she enjoyed running with her owner in marathons. She would do best as an only dog as she has not been raised around other dogs. She has been around children and adores men. If you are looking for a devoted jogging partner, Estrella is the dog for you.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Estrella, a Elk River Australian Shepherd/Schnauzer (Giant) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd/Schnauzer (Giant) for sale in Elk River, or seeking a Australian Shepherd/Schnauzer (Giant) dog from a breeder in Elk River.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elk River already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elk River breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd/Schnauzer (Giant) breeders who help with Australian Shepherd/Schnauzer (Giant) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elk River paves the way for another one to be saved.
