Represent PA Aims to Elect Dem Women in PA Legislature
Written by John Cole, Managing Editor
This organization's goals for 2020 include flipping both the state House and Senate to Democratic majorities and will be boosting dozens of "strong progressive women" in this effort.
Represent PA, which describes itself as the "only organization in Pennsylvania focused on investing in pro-choice Democratic women candidates across the entire commonwealth for both the PA House and Senate," announced that they have officially endorsed 36 candidates for the state House and 7 candidates for the state Senate and have invested over $250,000 across the state this cycle thus far that include upcoming races and multiple special elections in 2019.
"Being able to invest more than $250,000 this cycle, compared to $50,000 at this point in the cycle in 2018, means so much to these candidates who've not only been working to get their names out there, but have been doing it in ways that take more money because of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Represent PA Executive Director Christine Jacobs in a release.
The organization says that they only support women candidates who have a "path to victory," must align with the group's "progressive values," have "experience, campaign strength," while also looking at district "flip-ability." They also tout their work with other organizations that back women candidates including Emily's List, Emerge PA, and Turn PA Blue.
"Protecting our democratic women incumbents and electing more democratic women to the House and Senate is our mission," said Represent PA Political Chair Meg Pritchard, who develops and leads the endorsement process. "As I read the applications of these very capable candidates, I'm thrilled to think that these women will soon be setting the agenda and passing legislation in Harrisburg."
A release from the group adds that they "essentially" operate as a "mutual fund for elections – raising money, analyzing races and candidates – investing in districts where it can have the most impact."
While the organization is currently supporting over 40 women running for the state legislature, they specifically pinpointed 3 state Senate races and two state House races to PoliticsPA as "a few of our higher priority race targets," for the group.
The state Senate candidates included in the higher priority category mentioned helping reelect state Sen. Pam Iovino (D-Allegheny) in the 37th District, and flipping the 31st state Senate District with Shanna Danielson and the 49th District with Julie Slomski.
The two state House races that they view as "potential flips" in their higher priority races include boosting Nancy Guenst in her bid for the 152nd District and Cathy Spahr for the 160th District.
Although Represent PA touts the $250,000 plus invested thus far, a release stated that "at least" one more round of support is planned before November.
The Pennsylvania House Republican Campaign Committee and the Pennsylvania Senate Republican Campaign Committee did not respond for comment.
Below is the full list of elected officials and candidates that the group has endorsed for 2020. The full list of the endorsed candidates can also be found from their website here.

Correction: This story has been updated to show Vice Adm. Ronald Joseph Mercado was not fired from the Philippine Navy, but rather removed from his post in ther service.
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine defense secretary said Wednesday the Navy chief was removed from his post for defiantly opposing an already-approved deal to buy two frigates from a South Korean shipbuilder and causing delays to the acquisition of the warships.
Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana's remarks about the cause of Vice Adm. Ronald Joseph Mercado's relief is a rare public disclosure of a top-level disagreement within the military and defense department. Mercado was not being investigated for any wrongdoing and was moved to another military office.
Lorenzana said he questioned Mercado's insistence that one company be granted a contract to install a defense feature, the "combat management system," on the two frigates when that had already been included in the deal granted to Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Before he signed the 15.5 billion peso (U.S. $307.6 million) contract awarding the frigate deal to the South Korean shipbuilder in October last year, Lorenzana said he asked top Navy officials, including Mercado, if they were happy with the agreement. He said nobody raised any major issue at the time.
Mercado's actions delayed the frigates deal by about four months, the defense chief said, adding that the Philippines can return the frigates to the shipbuilder if the agreed features are not installed.
In a letter seen by The Associated Press, Lorenzana complained that Mercado, through his subordinates, "had continued to trifle" with the Department of Defense's decision to approve the deal with Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Mercado's attitude of "orchestrating such unmeritorious issue does not speak well of his leadership for which this department had lost its confidence in him to lead this important major service command," said the letter from Lorenzana, who sought President Rodrigo Duterte's approval to relieve the Navy chief from his post.
Mercado did not immediately respond to a request from reporters for comment.
Mercado, who is retiring from the military in March, was temporarily replaced by Rear Adm. Robert Empedrad, who had opposed Mercado's position on the frigate deal. Lorenzana said he would recommend a permanent Navy chief to Duterte.
The government has scrambled for years to raise funds to modernize its military, one of Asia's most ill-equipped, to deal with decades-long Muslim and communist insurgencies and protect its territorial claims in the disputed South China Sea.

Plastic pollution causes mussels to lose grip
Microplastics potentially threatens future survival of mollusc — new study
Credit: Photograph by Dr Dannielle Green, Anglia Ruskin University
A new study shows that microplastics are affecting the ability of mussels to attach themselves to their surroundings – potentially having a devastating impact on ocean ecosystems as well as a worldwide industry worth between 3-4 billion US dollars per year.
The new research, published in the journal Environmental Pollution, was led by Dr Dannielle Green of Anglia Ruskin University, and was carried out at the Portaferry Marine Laboratory in Northern Ireland.
The researchers found that blue mussels exposed to doses of non-biodegradable microplastics over a period of 52 days produced significantly fewer byssal threads, which are thin fibres that help mussels attach themselves to rocks and ropes.
As well as enabling mussels to survive waves and strong tides, and stay attached to their surroundings, these byssal threads also enable them to form extensive reefs that provide important habitats for other marine animals and plants.
The study also found that the overall tenacity or attachment strength of mussels exposed to microplastics, calculated by measuring the maximal vertical force required for the mussel to become dislodged from its position, fell by 50% compared to a control sample of mussels that were not exposed to microplastics.
And in order to understand potential effects of microplastics on the health of the mussels, the researchers measured the proteins within the mussel's circulatory fluid or haemolymph, which performs a similar function to blood. This showed that microplastics induced a strong immune response and also affected the mussels' metabolism.
Dr Green, a Senior Lecturer in Biology at Anglia Ruskin University, said: "Tenacity is vital for mussels to form and maintain reefs without being dislodged by hydrodynamic forces. Our study showed that the presence of non-biodegradable microplastics reduced the number of byssal threads produced by the mussels, which likely accounts for the 50% reduction in their attachment strength.
"Byssal threads help mussels to form aggregations, increasing fertilisation success and making mussels more resistant to predation. A reduction in these byssal threads in the wild could lead to cascading impacts on biodiversity as well as reducing yields from aquaculture, as mussels are more likely to be washed away by waves or strong tides.
"Our research also shows that even biodegradable microplastics can affect the health of mussels. Both biodegradable and non-biodegradable plastic are used in making single-use packaging, which if it becomes litter can break down into microplastics. Better recycling and an overall reduction of these materials can play an important role in helping to safeguard our marine environment."

I loved this song which we sang at Lake Street Church on the first Sunday of advent. The tune "put me in the mood." The words in verses 2 and 3 especially moved me: reminders that there is a work of God in "giving up our strength" or in ceasing/guarding the nest. Any poetic metaphors which help us to take seriously the demands of discipleship WHILE AT THE SAME TIME reminding us of necessary seasons of cessation, waiting, preparing, entrusting God to be God… well, those "put me in the advent mood" too. I pray, actually, to live this way all year.
"People, Look East" was written by Eleanor Farjeon (1881-1965) and was first published as "Carol of Advent" in Part 3 of "Modern Texts Written for or Adapted to Traditional Tunes" in The Oxford Book of Carols, 1928. Farjeon, a native of London, was a devout Catholic who viewed her faith as "a progression toward which her spiritual life moved rather than a conversion experience." (The Presbyterian Hymnal Companion, p. 323) She achieved acclaim as an author of children's nursery rhymes and singing games, and is best remembered for her poem "Morning Has Broken." BESANÇON, an ancient carol, first appeared in Christmas Carols New and Old, 1871, as the setting for "Shepherds, Shake Off Your Drowsy Sleep," and was titled CHANTONS, BARGIÉS, NOUÉ, NOUÉ.

Hilton Worldwide, Highly Commended, Best Risk Management Solution
Photo of John Chamberlain and Fred Schacknies, Hilton Worldwide.
Hilton's story is noteworthy in the degree of turnaround relative to the original problem. They had a large, complex portfolio of intercompany loans, maintained in multiple databases and without a policy governing associated transactions. It had no comprehensive visibility to aggregate positions or exposures. Hilton had no prospective sense of potential FX risk to earnings or cash flow. Lacking that information, it had no ability to mitigate either risk. Today, Hilton's intercompany loan portfolio has been reorganised and dramatically simplified. Read how they did it.
Fred Schacknies
VP & Assistant Treasurer
Hilton Worldwide is one of the largest and fastest growing hospitality companies in the world, with more than 4,660 hotels, resorts and timeshare properties comprising more than 765,000 rooms in 102 countries and territories.
On 26th February 2016, the President and CEO of Hilton Worldwide announced the company's intention to spin off its real estate and timeshare businesses as independent companies. Aligned with the objective of capital efficiency, the residual operating company would need a sharper focus on financial risk management. In anticipation of this, the treasury, tax and accounting teams were busy wrapping up a multi-year initiative to rationalise, reduce and mitigate FX risk.
As a natural by-product of its growth through acquisitions, Hilton had accumulated a large and complex portfolio of intercompany loans. Any cross-border loans in the portfolio created FX volatility to different degrees in earnings and cash flow, and whilst the effect on net income was material it did not always reflect the underlying cash flow.
There were numerous options available to the team. Hedging the entire loan portfolio with derivatives would have neutralised the earnings volatility, for instance, but at considerable cost and with real implications for liquidity, as not all loans were associated with the underlying cash flow.
Winning this award is a great recognition of the efforts of many individuals across treasury and other parts of the organisation over several years, and a standard to live up to in future endeavors.
"A 'Gordian knot' solution of simply writing off all loans would have also eliminated the FX noise in earnings, but would have materially impacted the statutory results and capitalisation of many legal entities in different jurisdictions," says Fred Schacknies, VP & Assistant Treasurer at Hilton Worldwide.
Hilton therefore needed a solution that would provide visibility across the portfolio and one that had the ability to mitigate both cash flow risk and earnings risk, without the adverse ancillary consequences for the legal entities involved.
At first, the company needed to gain control and visibility over the transaction data by capturing all intercompany loans in a single system. With a single, comprehensive data-set in hand, it could then assess the earnings and cash flow characteristics of each loan in the portfolio, with input from individuals in the treasury, tax, accounting and operations finance teams.
As a result, risk could be measured in terms of notional exposure, simple factor sensitivity and probabilistic models (value-at-risk), which could then be calibrated with the benefit of historical results data. With this information:
Any new and existing loans with cross-currency cash flow impact were targeted for hedging under the umbrella of a new in-house bank structure.
Any loans deemed to be of a long-term nature were designated as such per ASC 830 (US GAAP).
Remaining loans were flagged for restructuring under a rationalisation plan.
Most multinationals engage in intercompany lending and many struggle with the cross-currency implications, which can be clouded by byzantine considerations of accounting, statutory reporting, tax planning and financial markets.
Hilton's approach demonstrates best practice and innovation by:
Incorporating diverse inputs from a multi-functional team.
Clearly defining and differentiating its objectives with respect to FX risk to both earnings and cash flow.
Incorporating robust data management and advanced risk measurement techniques. These views of risk allowed Hilton to measure potential impacts to earnings and to cash flow, at various levels of aggregation, from individual transactions to legal entities, countries, regions and the consolidated corporate parent.
Moreover, by segregating the investor optics of GAAP earnings from the underlying economics of cash flow risk, Hilton was able to achieve meaningful improvements on both fronts. By routing all cash-impacting intercompany activity through an FX hedging programme, Hilton has been able to reduce FX cash flow risk to a negligible level.
Schacknies concludes: "Our intercompany loan portfolio has been reorganised and dramatically simplified. All data is in one place and subject to a common policy. We have clear visibility to the FX impacts to both earnings and to cash flow and the ability to measure potential future risk to each."
Improved risk management.
Reduced below-the-line FX earnings volatility by over 80%.
For other organisations undertaking similar projects, key principles to consider are:
Start with clean and comprehensive data.
Ensure centralised controls over transactions.
Consider independent impacts to cash flow and earnings and appropriate solutions for each.

E's Van's RV-14A: First Flight Prep: FAA Inspection. I can fly.
First Flight Prep: FAA Inspection. I can fly.
On 7-Nov-17, three FAA Aviation Safety Inspectors came to my hangar and completed their inspection of my aircraft, paper work and builder's log files, images and videos. As of 9-Nov-17 my aircraft is legally permitted to fly.
The FAA no longer provides "pink slips". The airworthiness certificate is now provided on 8.5"x11" card stock and is part of the operating limitations. This is FAA Form 8130-7 (11/2016). It is a four page document, which includes a description of the approved flight test area (including permitted airports of use), that must remain in the aircraft during operations per CFR §91.203(b). The certificate shown above is cropped from that document.
The official logbook entries are below.
And I can legally perform my own maintenance. They put my model as RV-14/A rather than RV-14A. When I pointed this out to one of the inspectors, he said "we're going to let that slide for now."
Soon these seats will be occupied.
Following placement of the top cowl half, this bad boy is ready to go.
The next posts will detail first and subsequent flight experiences.
Congratulations! An outstanding accomplishment especially given where you started from in 2013. Looking forward to the post on the momentous occasion of your first flight. Wait a couple of weeks and you could be Van's first flight No. 10,000!
Congrats! Please keep posting at least during the test phase.
Avionics: Intercom output level for recording.

Due to the closure of movie theaters across the globe, streaming platforms like Amazon and Apple have been offering new films that would have made it to the big screen, to be paid for and watched through their websites in your home. For as low as 12.99, you and your family can spruce up your quarantine by watching new movies, never before seen. Here are some new blockbuster films that you can stream today.
The High Note is a mix of a comedy and a drama that stars big names like Dakota Johnson and Tracee Ellis Ross. We follow the life of Maggie Sherwoode (Dakota Johnson) who is an aspiring music producer but for the time being, is an assistant to popular singer, Grace Davis (Tracee Ellis Ross). After meeting an aspiring musician, Maggie lies about her status as a producer and lands a job working with this musician on an album. As the movie progresses, Grace Davis begins facing issues trying to be true to herself and her sound but also please her pop audience despite her aged image. Although she is forced to confront the lie she has told, no one can deny Maggie's talent.
2. The Invisible Man
The Invisible Man was released on February 28th, 2020 by Universal Pictures but was only in theatres for four weeks due to the pandemic and thus was made available for digital rental instead. The science-fiction horror movie received amazing reviews and ratings. A woman by the name of Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) escapes an abusive relationship one night after drugging her husband Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Cecilia seeks shelter with a childhood friend and is almost relieved when it is announced her husband has committed suicide. But she begins to see things that lead her to believe her husband faked his death. We follow her journey to discover how and why his presence still haunts her no matter where she hides.
3. The Way Back
The Way Back starring Ben Affleck was released in theaters on March 6th, 2020 but was later moved to own digitally on March 24th due to the pandemic. Ben Affleck plays an alcoholic divorcee who works as a construction worker named Jack Cunningham. His family expresses their concern for his drinking problem but their disappointment fails to give a promising solution. In an odd turn of events, Jack receives a call from his old basketball coach requesting him to step in as the new coach. Although hesitant, Jack agrees. We get to see Jack's internal battle with his alcoholism and personal life but also his determination to overcome a losing season.
25th Anniversary of 'Titanic': How Titanic Became an Under-the-Surface Sensation in Taliban-Ruled Afghanistan
In honor of Titanic's 25th anniversary, the iconic movie will be shown in movie theaters on February 10th this year. Because of how iconic this movie was internationally, there is an interesting story behind how the people in Afghanistan were able to see the movie when it was released, as they were under Taliban rule. All forms of entertainment were outlawed in Afghanistan when the Taliban initially took power there in the 1990s. Residents of Kabul and other cities frequently describe finding video and audiotape ribbons that were torn to pieces as if they had also been executed.

Doctor verifies VAERS data showing COVID-19 vaccines increase dangers to women's reproductive health
Wednesday, July 06, 2022 by: Belle Carter

(Natural News) A board-certified obstetrics and gynecology physician verified the recent Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data showing the increased dangers posed by the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines to women's reproductive health.
Dr. James Thorp diligently analyzed the numbers and found that the vaccines have increased by 1,000-fold cases of menstrual irregularities, such as abnormal uterine bleeding.
Thorp told the Epoch Times last week that "COVID-19 vaccines are associated with increases in menstrual disorders, miscarriage, fetal chromosomal abnormalities, fetal cystic hygroma, fetal malformations, fetal cardiac arrest, fetal cardiac arrhythmias, fetal cardiac disorders, fetal vascular mal-perfusion abnormalities, abnormal fetal surveillance testing, abnormal fetal growth patterns, placental thrombosis and fetal death."
His analysis found fetal chromosomal abnormalities to be 100-fold greater; fetal cardiac arrest 200-fold greater; fetal vascular mal-perfusion is a 100-fold greater; miscarriages, fetal malformation and fetal arrhythmia 50-fold greater; fetal cystic hygroma (major malformation) 90-fold greater; fetal placental thrombosis 70-fold greater; fetal cardiac disorders and growth abnormalities 40-fold greater; and fetal abnormal surveillance tests 20-fold greater.
Thorp conducted the analysis with a Department of Defense statistical consultant, who agreed to help but requested anonymity.
According to Thorp, the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) should have demanded the safety data prior to pushing these dangerous vaccines – especially to pregnant women.
"These institutions have violated the golden rule of pregnancy. New substances, be it nutraceuticals, drugs or vaccines, have never been allowed in pregnancy until long-term outcome data are available."
Other doctors stand by Thorp's opinion that vaccines should be pulled out.
Jessica Rose Ph.D., who co-authored a VAERS analysis that got withdrawn by the academic journal Elsevier, said: "I do believe it is not only important but necessary to pull these products from pregnant/breastfeeding women and infants since there is no long-term safety data and the short-term data looks bad."
Dr. Christiane Northrup, an ACOG fellow, also supports Thorp's analysis.
"Having been on the front lines of the DES disaster as a young OB/GYN, I am astounded that we are repeating the same kind of mistake but on a far more devastating level. COVID-19 shots must be stopped immediately in all pregnant women before further damage is done to the next generation," Northrup stated.
These disconcerting pharmacovigilance signals from VAERS encouraged Thorp and other doctors to call for a ban on vaccines.
"The COVID-19 vaccines make prior obstetrical disasters of diethylstilbestrol and thalidomide look like prenatal vitamins. I am calling for a worldwide ban and moratorium on the use of any experimental gene therapy and/or COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy until long-term safety data are irrefutable," Thorp said.
Gag orders on healthcare professionals exposed in a paper
Thorp, who has practiced obstetrics for over 42 years, said many of the around 7,000 high-risk pregnant patients he had seen over the past year were vaccinated. (Related: 'What I've seen in the last 2 years is unprecedented': Physician on COVID vaccine side effects in pregnant women.)
The OB/GYN explained that although there has been an obvious increase in fetal deaths and adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with the COVID-19 vaccination, attempts to quantify this effect are hampered by the imposition of gag orders on physicians and nurses that were imposed in September 2021.
The paper titled "Patient Betrayal: The Corruption of Healthcare, Informed Consent, and the Physician-Patient Relationship," which the doctor co-wrote with his colleagues, including renowned cardiologist Peter A. McCullough, exposed the disciplinary threats made to healthcare professionals by their governing bodies in the United States.
In particular, healthcare professionals were prohibited from writing about complications related to the COVID-19 vaccines and data from VAERS, including those related to pregnant women and women of reproductive age.
"Until further testing can be completed, including but not limited to studies of long-term outcomes, governing bodies of healthcare professionals, including ABOG, FSMB [Federation of State Medical Boards], ABMS [American Board of Medical Specialties], AMA [American Medical Association], AACN [American Association of Critical-Care Nurses], SMFM [Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine], ACOG and others should retract their injunctions aimed at eradication of vaccine hesitancy and focus instead on the promotion of truthful, honest communication which is integral to a patient's informed consent," the paper pointed out.
In just 12 months of the deployment of the COVID-19 vaccines, the authors have reviewed 1,013 peer-reviewed studies published in medical journals. According to the paper, this has never occurred in the history of medicine for any drug, vaccine or medical device.
The authors encourage ABOG staff and examiners to review all these studies as the resources and references they cited in the said research all lead to the fact that the COVID-19 gene-therapy injections are dangerous in the population at large, particularly for women of reproductive ages, pregnant women and their offspring.
"The dangers of the COVID-19 experimental gene-therapy are evident. ABOG must acknowledge the facts and retract its September 2021 threats. We and ABOG must make a strong public statement regarding the risks of this injection in women of reproductive age and in pregnancy, as a matter of ethical due diligence," the researchers said.

Doctor verifies VAERS data showing COVID-19 vaccines increase dangers to women's reproductive health


I recently attended a preserving workshop by the extension service and brought home a jar of this delicious jam. It definitely was a hit over warm sour cream biscuits. Just the difficulty of finding ripe mangos on the prairie but definitely worth the effort.
In a deep saucepan, combine fruit and lemon juice. Whisk in pectin until dissolved. Bring to a boil and pour in all the sugar at once. Return to a rolling boil, stirring constantly and boil 1 minute. Remove from heat, skim off foam. Ladle into jars leaving a ¼ inch headspace. Process in hot water bath for 10 minutes.
Actually sometimes fishing is what we wish we were doing come Spring Time. Spring is the busiest season on the ranch with calving, kidding, baby chicks, planting a garden, flowers, and trees.
So Winter becomes the time for planning. Deciding on improvements we can afford for the ranch, ordering feed we cannot grow ourselves and ordering seeds and plants for the garden.
You convince your spouse that an overnight, out-of-state trip for equipment parts is a vacation.
You wear specific hats to farm sales, livestock auctions, customer appreciation suppers, and funerals.
You have never thrown away a five-gallon bucket.
You have used baling wire to attach a license plate.
You have used a chain saw to remodel your house.
You remember AUM's and yields from 10 years ago but cannot remember your spouse's birthday.
You have driven off the road while examining your neighbor's fields.
You have borrowed gravel from the country road to fill potholes in your driveway.
You have used a tractor front-end loader as scaffolding.
You wave at every vehicle whether you know the driver or not.
You always look when a vehicle passes your house, even at night.
You refer to ranches by who owned them 50 years ago or more.
You give directions to your ranch using landmarks, not road numbers.
You know "Checkoff" is not a Russian diplomat.
Your early morning prayer covers rain and cattle.
Your ranch truck's seat heater has four legs and a tail.
Using the elevator involves a grain truck.
You wake up when it's dark and you go to bed after the evening news.
You wear your boots to church.
Family weddings and special events are planned around haying, gathering, and calving.
The winter season is the slowdown time at the ranch. Yes, we still have our chores but things are not so hectic and we can stop and "smell the roses" so to speak. In the early months of every New Year, we stop and reflect on the happenings of the past year. Maybe, we are just reflecting because we are working on completing the book work for taxes. All kidding aside, this time of year causes us to count our blessings. Each year always has its struggles but the good times always outweigh the hard times.
As always, living near the best neighbors around who are always willing to lend a helping hand without a moment of hesitation on any project.
Our animals staying healthy and content in extreme drought and heat conditions.
Our ranch being spared from devastating prairie fires.
The land providing 98% of our food needs- we wish we could grow oranges and lemons and sugar cane in South Dakota but haven't found a successful way yet.
The support and help from our families in ways big and small.
Answered prayers from the good Lord above.
For our readers, What are some of the blessings in your life?
George and I want to thank all of the buyers of our 2012 livestock, garden produce, and goat soap. Without all of you, we would not make a living off of our land. People's positive comments make our day. Everyone inspires us to be the best stewards and caretakers of our land and livestock that we can be. We always welcome visitors to the ranch and can provide a home-cooked meal and comfortable place to rest.
A second Savanna buck was purchased from Kenneth Mincey. He has been dubbed Stonewall after the famous Confederate general Stonewall Jackson and it is fitting since he was born in Georgia. The plan is to have him breed our does that were sired by our first herd buck, Ice-Man. It will be exciting to see the combination of genetics in the Spring.
Meet, Magnum, our new herd bull. Magnum is a registered Hereford bull JR CCF DEEN 434V 1105 with a 5 frame size and comes a line of Dam and Sire Distinction. He weighed 83 lbs at birth and will be a good addition to our herd!
Posted here are photos of our 2012 crop of Savanna bucks that we have for sale. Enjoy!
The blog has been silent due to the beehive of activity on the ranch. Calving and kidding kept us on our toes in the early Spring. Now we are onto handling livestock in drought situations and being prepared for prairie fires. The gardens are producing well. Fencing, repairing stock dams and buildings are daily activities.
We have butchered and sold our first batch of pastured broilers and now have half-grown chickens with our second batch of broilers. We consider ourselves lucky to stay busy with Nature's bounty and enjoy the challenge that Life brings our way living on the prairie.
Summer is the time for picking fruit of the prairie. 2012 has proven to be an excellent chokecherry and currant year.
Here are a couple of my favorite recipes for currant jelly and chokecherry syrup.
Pour black currant juice into a 6 or 8 quart kettle. If short of juice, fill last cup with water to equal exact amount of juice. Add lemon juice. Add pectin to juice in kettle; stir well.
Place over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the sugar, mix well. Continue stirring and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 2 minutes, remove from heat. Pour into sterile 1/2 pint jars, leaving 1/8 inch headspace. Hot water bath for 5 minutes. Makes 7 half pint jelly jars.
Pour the chokecherry juice in a large kettle. Next add sugar. Cook on high stirring constantly. Bring to a rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and skim foam. Add almond extract. Pour into sterile pint jars, leaving 1/8 inch headspace. Hot water bath for 10 minutes. Makes 3-4 pint jars. Great for making milkshakes or over pancakes.


I can't even begin to tell you how often I am sticking my foot in my mouth. The wrong thing always seems to pop out unintentionally. If I'm angry, it's even worse. That filter that some people have between their brain and their mouths was left out when I was manufactured… or so I thought… The truth is that I have a problem with thinking before I speak and using self control. When Connie Hughes of Smockity Frocks offered for bloggers to review her book, How to Manage Your Mouth – A 30 Day Wholesome Talk Challenge my first thought was "Okay, I desperately need to read that." My second thought was "But I'm not going to like what I find out about myself when I read this…" I finally told my flesh to shut up and sent an email to Connie Hughes asking if I could please review the book.
In How To Manage Your Mouth, Connie gives us a look into her heart and why she wrote this daily devotional with journal prompts. Each day has a scripture to apply to our lives and a short but powerful read about why and how to put it into action. There was never a day that was dry, dull, or unuseful. Every day I read, wrote, and did a lot of searching in my heart.
I received the book on a Sunday and began reading it on Monday. Unfortunately, on Tuesday night I was admitted to the hospital with a dangerous blood clot. Several times I tried to begin reading the book again, but due to illness I was just not able to keep up. It wasn't until I had caught myself saying something that I knew I was going to regret that I decided enough was enough and started all over.
A week after starting How to Manage Your Mouth – A 30 Day Wholesome Talk Challenge the final time, I found myself in a situation that I often find myself in: Arguing with my ex-husband on co-parenting issues with our two children. Right away I fell back into old habits. I was snipping right back at him with sarcastic insults whenever I felt that he was insulting me. Suddenly I remembered the scripture I had read that morning and realized that when held over a fire, I quickly failed the challenge. I stopped the conversation right there and did something that was extremely hard for me to do. I asked the father of my two oldest children to forgive me for my behavior. Yeah, that was NOT easy. The rest of the conversation went on with him and I discussing ways that we can work together to be better parents to our children.
Since that day I have had moments where I have slipped, but in all honesty this book has changed my speech. When I am about to say something that is negative (or I have just said something that I regret) I remember the scriptures compiled in this study and bring myself into accountability.
