Brian Finnie - an Obituary
It is with much sadness that we have to report the death of Brian Finnie, who was a much-respected member of Forfar Sailing Club for many years, and a skilled Secretary for quite a number of them.
Brian had graduated in Electrical Engineering from Manchester University, gained a Ph.D. from Edinburgh University, and worked for various companies as a Design and Development Engineer, including in the Far East. As well as taking up sailing at university, he was also a glider pilot, and, being the meticulous person he was, seemed to have put much thought and research into his dinghy-sailing. But he was also keen to help novice sailors with hints and tips which would later prove useful to them for racing. He one year organised and ran a short training course for Club sailors on Thursday evenings, getting the sailors to practise certain manoeuvres. He was also a member of Tummel SC and, briefly, Loch Earn SC.
In Committee, he was the archetypal Secretary, at the Commodore's elbow, prodding him with advice on procedure, legal facts, and general information, all helped no doubt by his sharp mind and accurate memory. His advice was always reliable. He was also Secretary of TYCA for a number of years, and was their Webmaster as well as ours.
Brian's preferred boat was the Europe, of which he kept at least two operating examples. He was the Europe class Webmaster and on its national committee as Scottish rep. He was also for a time on the RYA Scotland Dinghy Committee. Two or three years ago he was diagnosed with serious illness, which put paid to his sailing. (It was typical of him that he donated all his sailing clothing and paraphernalia to the Club.) And further incurable illness set in, just as he was making progress with the previous one.
Brian left a positive mark. To this day, Forfar SC benefits directly from some of his previous work. For good reason he was not someone to be easily forgotten.
Brian is survived by his wife Margaret, who was also a good friend to the Club, assisting at Club events and providing quality baking. Our thoughts are with her and their family.
Tuesday 6 September
Shorter evenings mean earlier start times for Forfar Sailing Club's evening races, and not all members can easily achieve these times. And so the third race of the Twilight Series last Tuesday began later than planned, and the race was shorter than planned.
A light wind was blowing from the West as four boats were being rigged: the Solos of Tony Walker and Erwin Oosterhoorn, Dennis Burgin's Solution and Murray Hadden's Laser. Almost as soon as the start hooter went, the wind began to die, and that contrived to separate the boats during the first leg. Tony led the fleet and was to keep that position throughout the race. Despite being the slowest of the three classes, the Solos did well in the dropping wind, and Erwin held steadily to second place in spite of a late rush by Dennis. Murray, who had not sailed at the Loch for a month or two, became stuck at the windward mark for a few minutes, but then made progress behind the others, only to become ensnared for a few more minutes by floating weed, one leg before the finish line.
In the fading light and feeble wind the race officer decided to curtail the race to the one lap.
Sunday 18 September
Sunday saw Forfar Sailing Club hold its usual two races on the Loch, with the first being entered into a world-wide charity sail - Bart's Bash - judged on average sailing speed in a given wind-speed.
The WSW wind blew briskly as 9 boats took to the water, including 4 Toppers helmed by children - Sebastian and Felicity Kimber, Eoghan Oosterhoorn and Jamie Brown. Jim Green launched his Solo, David Smith his Firefly, Dennis Burgin his Solution, Tony Walker his Enterprise (crew Helen Brown) and Mark Kimber a Club Laser Radial.
Tony, David and Dennis coped best with the conditions but Felicity - the youngest sailor - struggled at the back after one or two capsizes. She opted not to sail the second race. After taking the boat handicaps into account the final positions were:
Sailing and Social Calendar
FSC offers support and encouragement to people of all levels, however there is a competitive element and ultimately it endears as a racing club. Most Sundays during the sailing season there are two races and most Tuesdays and Thursdays one race, each race lasting about 1hour depending on wind strength. Races are grouped in series with each usually completed over 6 or 7 days/evenings. Complete details of the club's 2013 racing, training and social events can be viewed in the club's sailing calendar or downloaded here.
The club has a mixed fleet, has both pursuit and average lap time racing using the Portsmouth Yardstick (PY) system of handicapping. Details of the system can be found at the RYA site here [1] The yardstick numbers allow different classes of boats to be raced against each other: the aim is to cancel out the inherent advantages and disadvantages of each class of boats, and provide a common time that represents the skill of the crew.
Each class of boat is assigned a PY number, with fast boats having low numbers and slow ones high numbers - so, for example, in the case of two dinghies, a Laser has a UK PY of 1087 while a Solo has a PY of 1148 (these are the actual PY numbers for 2013, but note that adjustments are made each year).
Weather Forecast
Although there are many weather forecasting site on the Internet the XCWeather site provides a detailed forecast for Dundee riverside which seems to be the nearest weather station to Forfar.

Minor in Irish Language
The CUNY Institute for Irish-American Studies is proud of its "Center for Irish Language Acquisition Research." Tomás Ó h-Íde (Ihde), former Institute director, has had two curriculum development projects funded in the past six years by the the Department responsible for Gaeltacht Affairs (Irish Government). In the initial proprosal, it was indicated that a distance education Minor in Irish Language and Literature would be designed. That program is now in place with on-line components as well as face-to-face weekly meetings at four locations in New York City, based at the Department of Languages and Literatures, CUNY-Lehman College. In 2009, the Tomás Ó h-Íde once again submitted a successful curriculum development project to develop a BA in Irish Language and Literature. That project is nearly complete with proposals before the Curriculum Committee for all the necessary courses and the B.A. requirements. The B.A. in Irish Language & Literature is taught completely in Irish and is intended to be on a par with similar programs in Ireland.
The Center has also successfully applied for a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant for the past five years. The current FLTA is Madeleine Ní Ghallchobhair from Co. Mayo, Ireland. She is co-hosted by the CUNY Institute for Irish-American Studies and the Lehman Department of Languages & Literatures.
The Irish language program at Lehman College also has contracts with, that is, provides staffing to, Manhattan College, Queens College, College of Mount Saint Vincent, and the Aisling Center.

All News Releases By Date
University of Arizona Recognized in EPA's First-Ever Campus RainWorks Challenge
Release Date: 04/22/2013
Contact Information:
(4/22/2103) SAN FRANCISCO – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced the four winners of the Campus RainWorks Challenge, a new design challenge created to inspire the next generation of landscape architects, planners and engineers to develop innovative green infrastructure systems that reduce stormwater pollution and support sustainable communities. The University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz., was named 2nd place winner for large institutions.
The Campus RainWorks Challenge engages students and faculty members at colleges and universities to apply green infrastructure principles and design, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and increase the use of green infrastructure on campuses across the nation. Teams of undergraduate and graduate students, working with a faculty advisor, developed innovative green infrastructure designs for a site on their campus showing how managing stormwater at its source can benefit the campus community and the environment.
Stormwater is one of the most widespread challenges to water quality in the nation. Large volumes of stormwater pollute our nation's streams, rivers and lakes, posing a threat to human health and the environment and contributing to downstream flooding.
The University of Arizona team's design plan centers on the redevelopment of a 70,000-square-foot parking lot located within a cluster of academic buildings. The design will replace the parking lot with a campus common area featuring two rings of retention basins to infiltrate stormwater runoff, five underground cisterns to harvest runoff and HVAC condensate from the adjacent buildings, and a translucent shade structure with an ephemeral water feature. Water collected in the underground cisterns is used to irrigate the landscape, reducing potable water use from 700,000 to 90,000 gallons/year.
The other challenge winners were the University of Florida, Gainesville (1st prize, large institution), the - Illinois Institute of Technology (1st prize, small institution), and the Missouri University of Science and Technology (2nd prize, small institution). Teams from Kansas State University, Columbia University, California State Polytechnic University, and University of Texas-Arlington were recognized as honorable mentions for their entries.
The challenge received submissions from 218 teams, which were reviewed by more than 30 expert judges from EPA, the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Water Environment Federation, and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Many of the submissions proposed transformative additions to the campus landscape that would reduce stormwater impacts while educating students about the movement of water through the urban environment. The winning teams were selected based on six criteria: analysis and planning; preservation or restoration of natural features; integrated water management; soil and vegetation management; value to campus; and likelihood of implementation.
Green infrastructure helps communities to maintain healthy waters, support sustainable communities, and provide multiple environmental benefits. Green infrastructure captures and filters pollutants by passing stormwater through soils and retaining it on site. Example of effective green infrastructure include green roofs, permeable materials, alternative designs for streets and buildings, trees, rain gardens and rain harvesting systems.

Jennifer Aniston Rocks Cabo Bikini Body
Jennifer Aniston and Friends BFF Courteney Cox enjoy the New Year together, spending a day on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Friday (January 2).
The pair was accompanied by Courtney's husband David Arquette and their 4-year-old daughter Coco. They also were joined by pals Sheryl Crow (and son Wyatt, 1 1/2) and Laura Dern (and musician husband Ben Harper).
The group had rented a private villa together in the Mexican resort, which had staff deliver food to their beach gathering (including smartwater, which Aniston is a spokesperson for). Jen's boyfriend John Mayer rented a house nearby and he reportedly left earlier in the day before this beach get-together.
And good news for Jen again! Her latest film, Marley & Me, was #1 at the box office again, pulling in another $24 million.

As demand for goat meat continues to expand around the world, many people with no experience with livestock are getting into the goat business. Sometimes the idea of raising goats is attractive because it can be done either on a small scale or in a very large enterprise. But best of all, you can make money raising goats only if you do it wisely.
Caring for a herd of goats does not have to really be a full time job. Many people like us have other jobs and take care of their goats in the evenings and on the weekends. Those goats that are good foragers can "take care of itself" for much of the time.
Keep in mind that raising goats, as with any livestock, is not completely risk free. Disease needs to be prevented and treatment needs to be accurately and swiftly administered. A cost-effective feeding plan needs to be established and maintained. Also, a sound business management plan is required if you wish to make a reasonably decent profit from your goat herd.
What follows below is intended to help the inexperienced goat farmers begin to think and learn about the goat business. It contains a summary of information on a variety of topics that have been shown to be important in running a successful and profitable business. It is, however, not a comprehensive list of detailed recipes for success. It is a basic collection of ideas for you to consider. Each farm setting is unique and your business plan must carefully address your particular situation. You should use the following information as a starting point in your learning efforts.
Read and Study BEFORE you Start
Like most endeavors, you will benefit from learning about the meat goat (or diary goat) business before you make an investment in not only money but more of your time and sanity. There are lots of formal and informal ways to learn about goats. We share a few here to get you started. There are, however, many many other sources of sound information for you to choose from. One last piece of advice regarding how to study and learn about goats – don't believe everything you see, read, or hear. Be sure to double check key points using multiple sources of information before making major investments or decisions.
Useful Books
Don't overlook the easiest way to learn quickly about raising goats. You will most likely find goat farmers in your local area. Most goat farmers are friendly and will gladly show you around their farm if you call ahead to set up an appointment. By visiting a commercial goat farm, you will get a sense if breeding goats as a business is right for you. For example: How much work is it? How much money do you need to invest? What are the best kinds of goats for your particular situation? Where would you find sources of feed? Can you make money doing this? Will you end up bonkers? Seeing for yourself is an excellent way to begin.
Participating in the activities of goat associations is an extremely effective way to learn. Associations have a concentration of people who are very interested in all aspects of raising goats. You will have ready access to years and years of experience that would be impossible to obtain in any other way. Most associations are inexpensive to join and offer many services and events from which you would benefit. Admittedly there are very few if any goat farmer associations that are withing our state Sarawak.
There is no more important item than fences when getting your farm ready for goats. Goats are smart and curious. They are known for their ability as escape artists. Whether you plan to fix up old fences, or build new ones, be careful to verify that you have indeed made your fence goat-proof. When refitting an older fence you will want to check for stumps or rocks that may be close to the fence line. Predators can climb on a stump or rock and jump in and conversely goats can jump out. Many types of fencing can be successfully used for goats, but it must be installed and maintained correctly. Woven wire and/or high-tensile electric fencing, with spacing suitable for goats, usually work well. There are also sources of fencing information on the internet. The careful planning and the time spent on your fences will be among the best investments you make.
Housing and Shelters
Goats can be managed with only a minimum of shelter from the rain, wind and snow, the latter of which we do not have here in the tropics. A three-sided shed works well. The open side should face toward the south to take advantage of maximum sunlight and the prevailing winds in many areas. Make sure there is adequate, dry floor space for the goats to lie down during long bouts of lousy weather.
Existing sheds can be modified to work well with goats also. Allow an open area for the goats to gather since they are herd animals. Other types of areas may include a private place for kidding, storage for feed, and a secure storage space for your supplies and special equipment. Adequate ventilation should always be a consideration. Water condensation on the ceiling or walls of the housing after the goats have spent a night in the barn may indicate there is insufficient ventilation in the building. These conditions can contribute to poor respiratory health in goats. Housing and shelters should be cleaned periodically to reduce the build up of ammonia (from urine) and to help control parasites and insect populations. The frequency of cleaning will vary based on ventilation, the type of flooring, and the degree to which surface water can and does enter your building. For new housing, place them to avoid any excess water.
Feeding Systems and Strategies
Typically a goat business will be profitable or not based on how many dollars are spent on feeding the herd. If you buy large quantities of commercial feed and specialty supplements, you will likely compromise your ability to make a profit. If, on the other hand, you strive to have your goats forage for the bulk of their food (and you manage your other expenses) a profit may be returned for your efforts.
The key factors in choosing how to feed your goats is to make sure they get enough protein, salt, and trace minerals at the lowest possible cost.
Goats naturally browse for their food when given the opportunity. This is by far the most economical form of goat feeding. Goats are cautious in what they eat, but vines, brush, weeds, young trees, and grass are all typically fine for goats. A few things are poisonous to goats, so some care is required when adding goats to a new area of forage. Ask your local farmers about what plants are dangerous in your area. Using forested lands for forage is often ideal, especially when they contain large amounts of dense undergrowth for browse.
Grass Pasture
Grass fields are satisfactory for goats but it is best if the grass is high with lots of weeds. This allows the goats to truly browse instead of graze. Parasites live near the ground so short grass and plant growth is to be avoided as much as possible.
Free-choice hay (oat hay, grassy alfalfa, or first cut hay with lots of weeds are good choices) is often made available to goats as supplemental feed in the winter and just before and after kidding. Hay feeders can be purchased or homemade. Feeders should be sturdy and designed to discourage the goats from standing on the hay. Goats will not eat "dirty" hay. However in tropical countries like here in Sarawak you will need a dryer, an expensive expense. With our tropical weather all year around most times it is not difficult to access fresh grass/forage everyday.
Commercial Feed
Commercially available feed mixes are readily available for goats. This can be a very big expense if you are not prudent. If feed is used, it is often only used in the winter months (in temperate area's) and just before and after kidding in small amounts. 2% body weight feed per day per adult goat is frequently recommended as a supplement if your goats is already fed with grass/forage/hay. Some farmers feed a tiny amount of feed as a treat even in the summer months when forage is readily available just to keep the goats coming to the farmer.
If feed is used, select it carefully. A key variable is the percentage of protein. Often 12% – 17% protein is chosen. It is also important to check for other supplements placed in the feed. Several feeds on the market today have useful additives especially selected to improve or maintain goat health.
Supplements are typically not used extensively, but they may prove useful in selected situations. Depending upon where you are at, selenium may be a necessary additive. Selenium is important to muscle development and metabolism in goats. Selenium is found naturally in growing plants if there are adequate levels in the soil for the plants to absorb. Some areas of the world have adequate levels of selenium and some do not. Check with your local Agriculture department. (Note: Goats require vitamin E to metabolize selenium correctly, make sure it is also present in the supplement you use.) Protein blocks and tubs formulated specifically for goats are frequently used to supplement protein when goats are on browse with no grain being fed. These blocks and tubs may also contain the proper amounts of salt and minerals for goats negating the need for loose or block mineral. Read the label or check with the manufacturer.
Goats require a free-choice supply of proper amounts of salt and minerals. Goats have requirements that are quite different from sheep and cattle. For example, goats particularly need higher amounts of copper. Loose or block minerals that are not specifically designed for goats should not be used unless the missing minerals are provided in some other form. Homemade mineral dispensers have been made in many designs from PVC pipe, wood, or metal.
Watering Systems
Like all animals, goats need easy access to clean drinking water. They don't like contaminated water (and neither do you). We dechlorinate our water and clean the water troughs daily.
You will have to make many decisions about "how" to raise your goats. Collectively the answers you choose will comprise your "management system." You will have to decide what type of goats to raise, where to purchase your foundation stock, what you will feed them, and what preventive measures you will take for their health and well being. The choices you make will greatly influence whether you make money or lose money and whether you have chosen a full or a part-time job. Don't haphazardly make these decisions. Most importantly, try to make sure you will enjoy what you're about to do! Here are some of the key elements of a management system for raising goats.
Setting Goals
The old saying "if you don't know where you are going, any road will do" is certainly true in the raising of goats. Are you trying to make money or just have some fun? Is your business selling breeding stock, selling goats for the commercial meat market, or some combination of both? How much time and money do you want to invest? Take a few minutes to write down what you believe your goals are. It is recommended that you start out with a small number of goats while you're learning about the goat business and actually experience goat farming. You can add additional stock and modify your goals as needed to suit your situation. It will help if you set goals that are measurable otherwise you will not be able to chart your progress.
Identifying Obstacles
Understanding what is standing in the way of achieving your goals will be very helpful in planning for success. Typical obstacles might include limited amounts of money to invest, poor fencing, not enough land, or a lack of knowledge. By identifying obstacles, you have automatically determined the areas where your energy needs to be focused.
Vaccinations can be given for a variety of diseases. Local conditions and your individual preference will play a big role in your decision on what to give on a regular basis. There are not many vaccines that have been specifically approved for use in goats. Some companies, however, are starting to realize that there are market opportunities with goat vaccines. Expect to see more product offerings in the future. Some vaccines (and other medications) are given "off label" which means they have been approved for use in other livestock (perhaps cattle), but studies have not been done to show effectiveness in goats. Learn what other successful goat breeders are doing. Remember any "off-label" use is at your own risk.
A typical vaccination program for a goat farmer will likely include CD/T (Clostridium perfringens Type C&D and Tetanus Toxoid). This goat vaccine can be purchased over-the-counter to provide long-term protection against overeating disease and tetanus. Here in Sarawak we vaccinate for C. pseudotuberculosis, CI. Perfringes type D, CI Tetani, CI Novyi type B, CI Septicum & CI. Chavei
Parasite Control
The biggest health problem you will face raising goats is control of parasites, especially stomach worms. Some goats have been selected and bred to be parasite resistant, but that does not mean parasite free. Parasites can debilitate and even kill a goat quickly. Regular worming is used by most goat farmers (perhaps in the spring and the fall). Additional worming of any particular goat is best done on an "as needed' basis. The overuse of worming medications can promote the development of resistant parasites on your farm – a severe management situation you definitely want to avoid!
You can test for the presence of parasites by doing fecal smears and examining the feces for the presence of worm eggs under a microscope. This test can indicate the relative quantity and type of parasites present (worm load). Another easy test you can do on your own is the FAMACHA test that requires looking at the membranes under the eyelids of goats. The degree of anemia is estimated by observing the degree of redness in the membranes. Please remember, no "test" is foolproof. Careful judgment is also required. Seeking professional training for performing the above tests is strongly recommended.
A primary preventive measure against worms (other than genetic selection) is rotating pastures so goats are always eating in a significantly worm-free environment. A rotational strategy may range from daily to 3-4 week intervals depending upon the size of the paddocks. Browsed paddocks should stand dormant for 12 days to 6 weeks or more before the goats are rotated through again. Appropriate dormancy periods depend upon the size of the paddocks and the frequency of rotation. Your county extension agent may be a good source of information regarding rotational grazing strategies for your area.
Worming medication can be given orally or by injection. Most breeders periodically rotate wormers to decrease the chances of developing resistant strains of parasites. Talk to, or access information, from other successful breeders regarding the various types of wormers used and the appropriate dosages. Not many worming medications are formally approved for use in goats, so several "off label" uses have been developed. Your local vet may also be helpful regarding parasite control. Be sure, however, to ask about his or her level of experience with goats. Many vets have not worked much with goats, but this is slowly changing as the interest in goat farming increases.
Other parasite problems are skin related. Some conditions to look out for in your herd are lice, mange mites, and ringworm.
Probably the most effective and efficient method of identifying a goat that is sick or in need of medical treatment is the human eye. If your goat is acting differently than it typically does (not eating well, standing off by itself, etc.) then something is probably wrong. If you notice this, then act quickly to identify the problem. Goats are sturdy, but not indestructible. They frequently don't show many signs or symptoms at the early stages of illness, so by the time you see something is wrong, the situation has already progressed significantly.
Signs of a Healthy Goat
- Attitude – Alert and Curious
- Appetite – Shows Interest in Food. Chews Cud after Feeding
- Breathing – Regular and Unlabored
- Coat/Skin – Clean, Glossy and no Lumps
- Droppings – Pellets are Firm
- Eyes – Bright, Clear and not Running
- Gait – Steady with No Limping
- Nose – Cool and Dry
- Weight – Average Weight and Gain
Livestock Guardians
Goats are very susceptible to attacks from predators such as a pack of local dogs out on the loose. A good fence will help keep predators away from the goats (especially an electric fence), but many goat farmers in many countries choose to also have some form of livestock guardian animal. Livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) live full time with the goats and usually do an excellent job of protecting their herd from intruders. There are many types of dogs used for this purpose including Great Pyrenees, Anatolians, and others. Most professional farmers try not to turn their livestock guard dogs into pets, as this is a distraction from the dog's "work." In Australia Llamas have also been used successfully in certain settings as guard animals. At our farm we use SSPCA rescued dogs like Ayu to keep an eye on intruders.
One of the most exciting times of the year is when your does are kidding. This miracle is a wonder to see and typically you need do nothing (or very little) to help the process. Does have a reputation as excellent mothers requiring very little attention. Kids are often up and about in a matter of seconds. Standing, walking, and suckling within a few minutes is not unusual.
Although birthing problems are infrequent, you need to decide how much intervention you're willing to do if problems do arise. Some things you may want to learn how to do are tube feeding a weak newborn kid and raising a kid on a bottle if the mother cannot provide enough milk or has rejected the kid. If a doe in labor has been pushing very hard for thirty minutes and has produced nothing, it may necessary to go in and move or reposition a kid so the birth can proceed normally. This is a specialized skill requiring additional learning on your part. Work with someone who already knows how to do this or in many cases, your veterinarian will be glad to teach you these skills. Before your goats have kids you should do some reading in more detail about pregnancy and kidding. The more prepared you are, the better things will go if intervention is needed. See the referenced web sites and books for more information.
Choose your breeding time so you are having kids when you want to have them. The length of gestation for a goat is about 150 days. Many breeders deliberately schedule their breeding program to avoid kidding during months of extreme cold or extreme heat. Of course, if you choose to have your buck run with the does all year round, then scheduling is not an issue.
Record Keeping
If you plan to make money in your goat business, you will need to have a basic plan including estimated costs and projected income. As in any business, failure to pay attention to financial details can be troublesome, if not fatal. Several web sites and other publications have examples of business plans that are helpful in understanding what to plan for and what variables are most important.
A typical goat farm will have many expenses. Some of these will be obvious such as the purchase price of stock, feed, and other supplies, but some will not be obvious. These can include medications, marketing costs, transportation expense, or even the cost of specialized equipment such as ear tags.
If you intend to turn a profit, you should determine during the start-up of your operation the cost of raising a doe for one year. Successful meat goat farmers manage every possible penny out of this number.
Income can come from different sources. A prime source of revenue is the sale of goats for slaughter. Often a secondary (or even primary for some) source of income is selling quality breeding stock to other goat farmers. Raising good breeding stock requires additional skill and knowledge. Only a disciplined, selective breeding program with rigorous culling will guarantee long-term success. Other sources of income may include the sale of goats for pets, renting goats as studs, selling goat poo as part of organic manure, or even creating your own value-added goat meat products. Non-meat sources of income can include goat milk, cheese, soap, and other products (a better option with dairy breeds).
Successful meat goat farmers have a target price in mind for the annual sales that result from breeding a doe. A revenue target of twice your actual expense will typically result in a sustainable goat business. It is important that you understand the inputs and outputs of your business
Goat meat is in high demand around the world. Malaysia imports thousands and thousands of live goats and untold kilo's goat meat each year to meet a growing demand. Various ethnic groups use goat meat in their diet and everyone can appreciate goat meat's low level of fat and delicious taste. Near any large city there will be demand for goat meat especially around certain religious holidays. Ask around to make sure you know at least one place you will be able to sell your goats when the time comes.
Broad trends in the goat meat industry are generally positive, but there are always new developments that may affect your business. Government regulations covering your goat operation and/or goat-related products should be clearly understood. Serious efforts should always be made to be in compliance with federal, state, and local law.
Work with a Proven Breeder
Why it is important? There is no substitute for quality, experience, and integrity. The guidance of an experienced breeder can easily make the difference in whether the start-up of your goat business is a success or failure. Learning by trial and error when buying goats can be expensive and even fatal when resources are limited. After you learn the basics of breed conformation and production traits, you will feel more confident about buying goats from sources that may be more "risky," such as a local sale/auction. By then you will be able to determine if the animal for sale "looks" right, appears to be disease free, and is worth the asking price. Many people buy goats only from proven breeders since it dramatically lowers their investment risk.
Breeder lists are available on association web pages, trade publications, and other sites on the internet.
Keep Good Records
Obviously you need good financial records for tax purposes, but that is only the beginning of the information that will be useful to record and organize. Good records will allow you to make informed decisions about which animals should be culled and which animals are producing well. Good records to keep include:
- Expense and income for taxes
- Goat weights (birth, 30/60/90/180 days, for calculating average daily gain over time)
- Doe productivity data (number kids born & weaned, data about mothering skills (maternals), etc.
- Health data (wormings, vaccinations, specialized treatments for illness, etc.)
Go Slow
The easiest and most common mistake to make when entering the goat farming business is to ramp up too quickly. This can be frustrating to the inexperienced goat farmer, because the natural tendency is to want to grow a herd as rapidly as possible. However, a lack of experience in daily care of the herd and in evaluating signs of poor health is a recipe for disaster. Nothing is more discouraging than to have your goats start dying and not understand why. You can add more goats as you learn and gain more confidence as a breeder.
Start with a small number (less than 10 goats is typical)
Learn through personal experience what works and what doesn't work on YOUR farm
Reduce Stress
Raising goats should be very rewarding. You can make money and have a lot of fun at the same time. One important, but little talked about, key to success is practicing stress reduction in your herd. The goats will be healthier, more productive, and more profitable.
Isolate new goats coming to your farm (for a minimum of two weeks) to check for disease and let them adjust to your management practices
Don't consistently "startle" your goats by making loud noises, moving too quickly, letting children or dogs chase them, or making changes in their daily routine unless absolutely necessary. Change things a little at a time, allowing time for each change to become routine. Always make dietary changes gradually.
Remember that sometimes you will lose an animal. This is part of the natural process of life. You should expect some animals to die because of old age, undetected disease, or even accident. Some degree of loss is unavoidable in any livestock operation, so be prepared to learn from these situations and continue to move forward.
Be particularly careful when transporting goats to keep them dry, out of the wind, and "on the road" only the minimum amount of time.
Remember that goats do not come with a guarantee. You will make mistakes like everyone else. That's how you gain experience. No business plan ever written has precisely described what a business is doing several years down the road.
Have Fun!
Goats are entertaining and very interesting. Make sure you have a camera handy, especially when your new kid crop is romping around the field. Goat watching can be a ready source of entertainment for you and for your guests.
Remember the Bottom Line
1. Goats and goat meat are in high demand around the world
2. Keep expenses low
3. Know your local markets and how to access them
The ideas suggested here are for educational purposes only and provide no guarantee of success in a goat farming business. Specifically The Kebun does not in any way guarantee or endorse these steps. Every agricultural situation is unique. The information provided here is offered as points to consider when developing your own plan.

Children might lie to:
Children can learn to tell lies from an early age, usually by around three years of age. This is when your child starts to realise that you aren't a mind reader, so he can say things that aren't true without you always knowing.
Children lie more at 4-6 years. Your child might get better at telling lies by matching her facial expressions and the tone of her voice to what she's saying. If you ask her to explain what she's saying, she'll usually own up.
When children reach school-age, they might lie more often and can be better at lying. The lies also get more complicated, because your child has more words and is better at understanding how other people think.
By eight years, children can lie successfully without getting caught out.
Once children grow old enough to understand the difference between true and not true, it's good to encourage and support them in telling the truth.
You can do this by emphasising the importance of honesty in your family and praising your child for honesty – even if it sometimes takes you a while to get it.
You can also send messages about honesty by telling your child that you don't like it when he lies to you. For example, you could try saying something like, 'When you don't tell me the truth, I feel sad and disappointed'.
Tips for encouraging honesty
Here are some tips for encouraging your child to be honest and tell the truth:
If your child tells a deliberate lie, the first step is to let him know that lying isn't OK. Explain why and let your child know that you might not be able to trust him in future.
The next step is to use appropriate consequences. For example, if your child drew on the wall and then lied about it, get her to help you clean it up.
It's important to deal separately with the lying and the behaviour that led to it. If your child is lying to get your attention, consider more positive ways you could give him attention. If he lied to get something he wanted – for example, a new book – consider a rewards system that lets him earn it.
You might also need to look at changing your child's environment to help her avoid situations where she feels the need to lie.
Tips for handling lies and lying
As children get older, lies can become a habit.
If your child is lying a lot, it's a good idea to talk calmly about the issue with your child. Try making a time to talk, and then tell your child how her lying makes you feel, how it affects your relationship with her, and what it might be like if family and friends stop trusting her.
Always tell your child when you know for sure that he isn't telling the truth. Your child needs to know that honesty is important to you. But try to avoid asking him all the time if he's telling the truth.
It might seem like no matter what you do, your child keeps lying. But if you keep praising your child for telling the truth and also using consequences for lying, your child is less likely to lie as she gets older. It might take until your child is seven years or older.
It might also help to know that children of all ages who have good communication with their parents and talk with them about what they're doing are less likely to engage in antisocial behaviour.
Sometimes children lie to keep a secret or to protect someone. For example, a child who has been abused by an adult will often lie to protect that adult. Often the child fears that he'll be punished if he tells.
Here's what to do if you suspect your child is lying about something serious:
If you have concerns about your child's safety or wellbeing, seek professional help as soon as possible. Your GP or school counsellor can give you advice on who to contact.
A 'white lie' is a harmless lie told with good intention – usually to protect the feelings of another person.
For example, before your child gets a gift, you might encourage him to say he likes it. In this situation, some children will still tell the truth ('I don't like it!') even if they understand that this might hurt somebody's feelings. This is probably because children of this age and stage are more focused on moral development, which encourages truth-telling.
As children get to primary-school age, they get better at telling white lies. By adolescence, children regularly tell white lies to protect their friends' feelings.
Parents telling white lies
Telling your child a white lie can be harmless. Some white lies can help protect a child's innocence, promote creative development or teach them important social skills.
For example, you might tell your child that your cuddles have magic powers that will fix your child when she's hurt herself. Some parents like to play games like finding fairies in the garden.
Although they're harmless, white lies shouldn't be used too often. The distinction between a white lie and a true lie – one designed to avoid punishment, for example – might not be as clear to children. Children who are used to hearing lies are more likely to tell lies themselves.
We're often tempted to tell children white lies to manage behaviour. For example, you might say, 'I can't buy you those lollies because I didn't bring any money'. This might work once, but it can also backfire if you get caught out (with a purse or wallet full of money) and lead to arguments and lack of trust.
It's more effective to manage children's behaviour in honest and productive ways. See our tips on encouraging good behaviour for more ideas.

The recent killing of Osama bin Laden has engendered speculation about the possible complicity of the Pakistani state in harboring Mr. bin Laden. But that speculation is misplaced and harmful to our future counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan, making us less safe.
We must be very clear on where our strategic differences with Pakistan lie – and combating Al Qaeda is not one of them.
Where Pakistan and US interests diverge
Of course, Pakistan's strategic interests in certain areas do diverge from our own.
Pakistan has an interest in negotiating a complex series of temporary peace deals with the militant Haqqani network, which attacks American forces in Afghanistan, to ensure that it is not forced to operate on several fronts within Pakistan as it pursues the Pakistani Taliban.
Pakistan may also seek to leverage the Haqqani network to ensure greater Pakistan-friendly Pashtun participation in any eventual Afghan national government that looks to incorporate and negotiate with former Taliban affiliates, while simultaneously providing Pakistan with a hedge against growing Indian influence in Afghanistan.
A similar interest results in Pakistan consistently turning a blind eye towards groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba that serve as asymmetrical proxies against India along its eastern border.
Pakistan has caught more terrorists than any country
But after three joint US-Pakistan operations since 2001 – the capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Rawalpindi, Ramzi bin-al Shibh in Karachi, and Abu Zubaydah in Faisalabad – netting three top Al Qaeda figures in three major Pakistani cities in operations led by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), a narrative of Pakistani complicity when it comes to Al Qaeda becomes unsustainable.
As Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan noted, "Pakistan has been responsible for capturing and killing more terrorists inside of Pakistan than any country, and it's by a wide margin."
Here, US and Pakistani interests are one and the same: If 3,000 American lives demanded that bin Laden be brought to justice, so did the 30,000 Pakistanis killed or injured in the global war on terror since 9/11.
Countering doubts about Pakistani complicity
The disquieting doubts raised by well-meaning analysts revolve around one central theme – the location of bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad.
How can there not have been complicity when Abbottabad is only about 30 miles from the Pakistani capital, and is home to a Pakistani military base, a military academy, and many retired Pakistani officers?
The defense against Pakistan's complicity starts – and should end – with President Obama's remarks on the subject that "it's important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding."
Pakistan's provision of intelligence leading to the discovery of bin Laden is incompatible with allegations of complicity.
Further, even after the fact, the ISI admitted it was never aware of bin Laden's location. "We were never able to put two and two together," explained an ISI official, "It's unfortunate but we did not know of the people resident in that compound."
If CIA didn't know for sure, how could ISI?
To assess the credibility of this claim, and to address the ridiculous notion that the compound's mere presence, size, and structures such as its exterior walls should have tipped off local Abbotabad residents and military personnel in the area that bin Laden was living within, it's worth remembering that despite eight months of intensive monitoring by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGIA), and National Security Agency (NSA), nothing definitively confirmed that bin Laden was at the compound.
CIA Director Leon Panetta noted that even at the time of decision, the CIA was only 60 to 80 percent confident bin Laden was there at all.
In the words of Mr. Brennan describing the reaction in the Situation Room, "there was a tremendous sigh of relief that what we believed and who we believed was in that compound actually was in that compound and was found."
We cannot afford to take risks with our ally
Because we had forewarned Pakistan that if we had actionable intelligence on bin Laden we would act unilaterally, we were able to take the risk that the Pakistani military would not retaliate. But these are risks we should not and cannot afford to take in the future: Having a situation in which an ally scrambles its fighter jets to prepare to confront helicopters loaded with our best Special Forces teams is an unsustainable way forward.
There are two facts around which there is complete unanimity: The cause of securing our country is not complete, and we will need Pakistan's cooperation to complete it.
As Senator John Kerry (D) of Massachusetts put it yesterday, "If you want a radical Islamist government having possession of nuclear weapons and running Pakistan, then you can go off in a knee-jerk way that makes matters worse. I'm not making matters worse. And I think we have to be very thoughtful about this."
For counterterrorism, we need partnership, not allegations
The way forward is not with allegations of complicity but of partnership and counterterrorism and counterinsurgency capacity-building assistance for our Pakistani partners. To echo House Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio, now is the time for "more engagement, not less."
But we must always remember that what that fundamentally means, beyond security cooperation and particularly in the Pakistan-Afghanistan context, is an emphasis on political solutions and helping the two nations institute the kind of effective governance that will provide their citizens with the benefits of "liberty and justice for all."

Adverse responses of the musculoskeletal system during 4 weeks resistance-endurance training in a cardiovascular rehabilitation program
Search Medline for
|October 24, 2011
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess possible adverse effects of 4 weeks of a cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) program on the musculoskeletal system.
Material/Methods: Nine-hundred-ninety-six patients (204 women, age 65 yrs and 792 men, age 62 yrs) completed a combined resistance-endurance training program consisting of 5±2 resistance training sessions (50% of one repetition maximum, 2-3 sets of 12-15 repetitions each, using 10 different muscle groups) and 15±4 endurance training-sessions [(50-60% of maximal leg power (Pmax)] on cycle ergometer lasting 10-18 minutes per training session. Interaction of statin-therapy with the complications of the muscle system during resistance training was evaluated by Pearson's Chi-square test.
Results: As result of training, 55 patients had adverse effects, 42 were associated with the skeletal, 13 with the muscular-system, and 2 additional adverse effects were associated with injuries that were not directly connected to training sessions. Statins were prescribed to 770 (77%) of 996 patients at entry and 849 (85%) at discharge. Nine (69%) of 13 patients with adverse effects on muscular-system took statins at entry and 11 (85%) at discharge from the CR program. Pearson's Chi-square test revealed that Statins are not responsible for complications of the muscular-system [Chi-square (1)=.004, p = .949].
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that adverse effects of a combined resistance-endurance exercise program for 4 weeks on the musculoskeletal system are rare and do not limit the performance of cardiac patients engaging in resistance-endurance exercise. These findings are independent of statins.

Handmade Folk-Art Guitar by Wilfred E. Drake (1894)
The inlays
around the sound hole
, and on the
are excellent, if a bit crude. The fingerboard is bound with mahogany in a rather strange way - the top edge of the binding sits level with the top of the frets, creating a kind of trough. The fingerboard itself is some kind of burlwood, which is also used to face the
handmade tailpiece
. The bridge, seen in this shot, is made from the same mahogany as the
back and neck
. The neck has a "V" profile and is a bit on the chunky side. It tapers from being overly deep near the heel to a little more normal depth at the headstock. The
peg head
is unfaced, but is made from such fine wood that it doesn't need to be. The nut is mahagony. The tuners are typical of the period, made from solid brass. The
shot, looking down through the sound hole
shows the handwritten label which reads, "Made by Wilfred E. Drake - Hewlett, Minn 1894".

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said on Tuesday that the central government has agreed to modify the food security scheme for the state.
"What is the purpose of freedom if we are not able to solve hunger? If the scheme had being implemented in the state in toto, Kerala would have been a loser, but we have been able to convince the Prime Minister and the Congress president. They have accepted our demands," Chandy told a news agency.
"If the scheme was implemented as it was, 58 percent of the state population would have been left out. The centre has agreed to give an additional eight lakh tonnes of food grain at the prevailing Rs 8.90 per kg," said Chandy.
"As per the scheme, every family would be given their monthly quota of food grain at an additional burden of Rs 270 crore. The centre has agreed to chip in with 50 percent of the cost. They also agreed to provide Rs 178 crore for building godowns to store foodgrain," added Chandy.
Since 1996, Kerala has statutory rationing of food grain through the public distribution system that operates through retail ration shops at every nook and corner of the state.
A team of officials led by State Food and Civil Supplies Minister Anoop Jacob is in Delhi to hold talks with the central government on the scheme.
The centre has also agreed to include two categories of the population in the below poverty line category (one approved by the state and other approved by the centre) in the "priority sector" of the scheme.

InfoWorld's Galen Gruman writes that the main potential game-changing attribute of the Nexus One - that Google is selling the device direct - does nothing to move the industry past carrier lock-in. "At first, I wanted to credit Google for making a tentative step in the direction of smartphone freedom. But that step is so tentative and ineffectual that frankly I think it's a cynical fig leaf covering the usual practices," Gruman writes. At issue is a political battle regarding walled gardens in the U.S. cellular market, a fight that will take years to result in any true consumer freedom. "The only way we'll ever get the ability to choose a smartphone and carrier independently is for the platform providers that count - Apple, Google, and RIM - to first develop only multiband 'world' smartphones and then refuse to sell their devices (or in Google's case, use its Android license to forbid the sale of devices) to carriers that block or interfere with device portability."

The Sports Xchange
By Andrew Wagner, The Sports Xchange
MILWAUKEE -- Larry Sanders surpassed his career high for the second straight game, finishing with 24 points in the Bucks' 131-102 victory over Charlotte Monday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Sanders also set a career high by making 10 field goals while pulling down 13 rebounds. Monta Ellis had 19 points and 14 assists, while Brandon Jennings also scored 19 points, adding six assists.
Kemba Walker scored 27 points and Gerald Henderson added 17 to lead the Bobcats, who shot 50.7 percent from the field but turned the ball over 21 times, which Milwaukee converted into 31 points.
Up by four, 29-25, through one quarter, Milwaukee created some separation late in the second, outscoring Charlotte 17-8 over the final 3:44 to take a 69-60 lead into halftime. The Bobcats shot 62.9 percent in the half (22 of 35) but their nine turnovers led to nine points.
Milwaukee kept the pressure on to start the third, and enjoyed its biggest lead to that point when Ersan Ilyasova's 3-pointer made it a 76-63 contest with 9:41 to play in the quarter. Six straight from the Bobcats, including a pair of Henderson free throws with 7:58 left, cut the Bucks' lead to six.
J.J. Redick hit a 3 from the left side to put Milwaukee back up by 11 with 2:40 remaining in the period, and the Bucks were up by 16, 100-86, at the quarter's end.
Redick made it a 20-point game on a long jumper with 9:28 remaining and Charlotte never got closer than 16 and lost for the third straight and fifth time in six games.
NOTES: Illness kept Milwaukee's Luc Richard Mbah a Moute out of the lineup Monday. He'd played three straight after missing eight with a toe injury. ... The Bobcats had averaged 100.3 points per game over their previous seven games, including a season-high 119 against Washington on March 18. Charlotte averaged 92.7 points per game through their previous 66. ... Heading into Monday's game, Walker was averaging 22.2 points while shooting 43.3 percent from the field in his last five games ... Bucks coach Jim Boylan is confident that reserve Mike Dunleavy will regain his form after he averaged just 7.4 points per game in 16 March contests. "Mike's shooting numbers have been down a little bit the last couple games but he's going to find his rhythm," Boylan said. "I have all the confidence that he's going to do that. He'll find his way back to his normal percentage, which is a 40 percent 3-point shooter and mid-to-high 40s overall. He just has to keep shooting; just get out there and shoot his shots."

The "chic and healthy" mom reads the WSJ
It's only lunch. Try not to roll your eyes so hard you have to go home.
Here's Jessica Alba on the morning show circuit in New York. She's promoting her new book The Honest Life, evidently a companion to her company, The Honest Company -- green for baby, or something.
Here's the headline that accompanied her interview video on Good Morning America:
Jessica Alba helps families stay chic and healthy
I had no idea that was an objective -- who goes around wanting a "chic family"? And who actually ARTICULATES that they're hoping to be part of a "chic family". It's gross.
But I know they're out there. And they see the Alba, clutching a copy of the Wall Street Journal, and that is the role model...?
For the "chic and healthy" mom, I guess it is.
A friend of mine forwarded a site to me the other day with the caption "Come ON!"
NessaLeeBaby -- have you heard of it?
The first tab at the top: Shop By Celebrity, and then a long list of celebrity parents and all the baby products they've deliberately or not deliberately endorsed. Alba has 2 pages!
Motherhood Industrial Complex, see?
Also on The Today Show this morning...
Snooki talking about momming.
Motherhood, the ultimate whitewash, the grand slam of career moves. If Chris Brown grew a uterus and had a baby, they'd probably rally around him too.

A Controversial Nose [1]
In the Bark blog, we've written a lot about the amazing canine nose. Their olfactory skills make them invaluable partners. But how we use the canine nose has become a controversial topic. Is it legal for police dogs to search for drugs outside of a house without a warrant? Or does it violate the Fourth Amendment protection against illegal search and seizure?
This issue came to the forefront after Franky, a talented police dog, detected marijuana growing inside of a Miami-area house from the other side of a closed door.
Florida's highest state court ruled that it crossed the constitutional line, but the Florida attorney general wants the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse that ruling [2]. The Supreme Court has approved drug dog sniffs in several other major cases, including drugs detected during routine traffic stops and airport luggage. But this case is more tricky because it involves a private residence.
Whichever way the Court rules, one thing is certain. Franky, the Chocolate Labrador at the center of the controversy, is an amazing dog. In Franky's seven-year career with the police department, the eight-year-old dog is responsible for the seizure of more than 2.5 tons of marijuana and $4.9 million in drug-contaminated money.

I am not happy about the time commitment thing that followed this contractual alliance. The professional was very irregular and showed callous attitude. Eventually, only I followed him up and that too multiple times. Also, he did similar work. He provided me with the same repetitive ideas that he had earlier suggested to his old customers. Nothing new was there to witness in his work. Thats not a good job I would say. My experience was not worth my expectations. It took around 7 days to get over with the work. Although, his behaviour was fine. He was ready with many excuses and a lot of them reflected his ill will to work for me. But, I followed him again to get the work done. This reckless attitude should be resisted. Stubborn man!
- nnaserhired SF Interiors®5.0
They are doing a great job and I just loved the work done by their team. They completed the work on time and gave very good services. They did interior work for me at my flat in Chennai with around 20-30 labors and did a fabulous job. I am very happy and satisfied with their work.Read more reviews

What You'll Get
Rafts have long been part of American culture, serving as vessels for frontier exploration and childcare for lovable scamps. Have your own adventures with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $19 for a half-day whitewater-rafting outing on the Middle or Upper Ocoee River on a weekday (up to a $40 value)
- $24 for a half-day whitewater-rafting outing on the Middle or Upper Ocoee River on a Saturday (up to a $49 value)

With more than 5 miles of continuous rapids, the Middle Ocoee River adventure best suits first-timers. The gentler rumbles give them time to learn the ropes before taking on the final and most challenging section of rapids. Alternatively, the Upper Ocoee River starts slowly, but picks up speed over a stretch of Class III and IV rapids. Each outing lasts about 3.5 hours, with 2 hours spent on the water and 1.5 hours spent orienting visitors and convincing the raft that it won't be as scary as last time.

The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Sep 5, 2012. Amount paid never expires. Limit 2 per person, may buy 2 additional as gifts. Valid only for option purchased. Must be 12 or older. Must sign waiver. Subject to weather. Not valid 7/1, 7/14, 7/28, 8/4, 8/11, 8/18, or 8/25. Extra $3.00 T.B.A River Fee. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About Sunburst Adventures
For over 40 years, Sunburst Adventures has thrilled millions of visitors on whitewater rafting trips down the Ocoee River since 1976. Rafts are helmed by experienced guides who provide a balanced diet of useful instruction and funny anecdotes, creating an experience that is fun, challenging, and safe. Groups of experienced and novice boaters get drenched as they tackle roaring rapids such as Hell's Hole and Godzilla while careening their way down the river's 10-mile stretch. Small breaks are taken from rafting to let paddlers cool off and even take a dip in hidden, lesser known "fun spots" on the Ocoee River. And for those seeking a more leisurely experience of the river's natural splendor, tubing down the calmer waters of Lower Ocoee is a great alternative.
