UVM men's hockey head coach had been named to Sweden staff
By Jack Fitzsimmons
Published: Jan. 14, 2022 at 7:47 PM EST
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - UVM men's hockey head coach Todd Woodcroft was named to the coaching staff for the Swedish Olympic team back in August, but on Friday, he announced he would no longer make the trip.
"I have a pretty strong history with the Swedish Federation," Woodcroft said. "I've been on their World Cup team. I won a gold medal with them. I helped with their World Junior team. They asked me to come on on the Olympic team, but things have kind of evolved a little bit here where it's not the right time for me to leave this team (UVM). The wins aren't there. We do have to win some games. We have to keep that idea of getting better every day. I'm a little bit adverse to the challenges that might happen if I got stuck in China. It's a risk that right now at this stage of where our team is, I'm not really ready to go. My job as a coach really is to study the rudder. And right now we need someone here to study this rudder and make sure we're continuing on our improving."
The 2022 Olympic tournament has been a point of contention in the hockey world, with concerns over the COVID situation and how China plans to handle COVID cases from participants. The NHL was initially planning to send players to compete for their home countries, but walked back that decision about a month ago. But Woodcroft said the lack of NHL talent had nothing to with his decision not to go.
"I actually thought our chances were gonna be great for Sweden, even without the NHL players," he said. "If we (UVM) would've won a whole whack of games in December, this might have been a different conversation, handing it off into the capable hands of (assistant coaches) Steve Wiedler and Scott Moser and Patrick Sharp. We had a couple games where I didn't really like our 60 minute effort and that's something that I have to make sure that stays. Naturally, it's almost like when a substitute teacher comes in: the students, sometimes their foot is off the gas pedal. We cannot afford to take our foot off the gas pedal with the progress that we're making. It may seem like it's got glacier speed, but we're advancing. And I want to make sure that that's not retreating."
Though Woodcroft is bowing out of the Olympics, he said he plans to coach international competitions again in the future.
"Even though I wasn't born in Sweden, I lived there for fun five years," Woodcroft said. "I have some incredible relationships over there. I really like the Swedish Federation, the people are great. The players are awesome. I'm still friends with so many of the players that we won gold with. I'm proud of that, and I think anytime they ask me to go, I'm gonna go. And I know that for UVM, it's very helpful. I think if somebody looks, they might not know me and they look up and see our resumes, me with a Swedish Federation or Steve Wiedler with Norwegians or Scott Moser with the Slovaks. I think that's gonna help down the road for us in recruiting players. We need to find those guys who can score and that player might be somebody in Sweden right now. And maybe his older brother is on the World Championship team. And I happen to be part of that staff, and often I have a positive relationship. That's how a lot of things work. And I think that we'll be able to mine those relationships going forward."

Issuing visas for Iranian, Iraqi pilgrims, tourists to become free/ We're ready to help with Iraq's reconstruction/ Shalamcheh-Basra Railway project construction to begin
| Mar 11, 2019
After the signing of five memoranda of understanding between Tehran and Baghdad, President announced that the two countries had agreed to make issuing visas for Iranian and Iraqi pilgrims and tourists free.
Speaking in a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Iraq, President Hassan Rouhani appreciated the warm welcoming of the Iranian delegation by the Iraqi nation and government.
He said, "In our negotiations with the Prime Minister of Iraq, we agreed to further develop relations between the two peoples, and in doing so, Iran announces that it will not receive any fees for visas, and the Iraqi side will announce that it will not receive any fees".
The Iraqi side currently prefers the visa regime, but there is no payment for a visa, which is a step forward in the process of facilitating the relations between the two nations, he said.
Dr Rouhani said that the development of trade cooperation was another topic of dialogue, saying, "We agreed that on issues related to preferential tariffs, the two sides continued their negotiations.
The third thing that was discussed was standard, and we could agree that the exchange of goods in the field of goods, agriculture and medicine be done more easily, the president said.
Stating that the Shalamcheh-Basra railway project will begin, adding, "Due to the connection of the Iranian railway network with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkey, we hope that in the future we will be able to connect the railway between the two countries.
He also referred to environment issues and added, "On environmental issues, our existing agreements should be implemented more quickly so that we can discuss the issue of dust between the two countries and with other countries of the region.
The two countries have good cooperation with each other in energy, he said, adding, Iran supplies electricity and gas to Iraq, and we have announced that we are ready to export more electricity to the country.
The president added, Regarding banking, which is one of the key topics of discussion between the two countries, we emphasised quicker implementation of the agreements between the two central banks.
Dr Rouhani said, We agreed on the necessary maritime relations and facilities, and we hope that Abadan, Khorramshahr and Basra will have a better use of the border river.
The President referred to the agreements between the two countries in the area of scientific cooperation and said, "I have announced to the Prime Minister that in the field of nanotechnology, we will provide some laboratories to a university of their choice.
We have also announced that we can equip the universities of their choice, and develop scientific and technological cooperation between the two countries, said Rouhani.
Dr Rouhani added, "We are also interested in developing security relations between the two countries. We have always helped each other in recent years. Iran is proud to have helped the countries of the region, including Iraq, from the first day that the ISIS began their terrorist acts.
The president added that the two countries' views on regional affairs are very close, adding: "We hope that the close relations between the Iranian government and people with the people and government of Iraq will enable us to have more security and stability in the region.
Dr Rouhani said, "We have taken good steps in the field of technical and engineering services, and we hope that with the banking and financial measures, this cooperation can continue.
The Prime Minister of Iraq said in the press conference, "This visit, in our view, is a very important and historic one that aims to mark a different start for the development of relations between the two countries and the two nations.
Adil Abdul-Mahdi said, Iraq seeks to further develop relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran in all areas of mutual interest.
He also went on to say, We are willing to have the best of relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

How to Afford Your Dream Home Renovation on a Budget
by Elle August 12, 2019
Thinking about doing a home renovation? Today we're talking about how to get an HGTV worthy home on a budget!
Home Renovations on a Budget
Last episode we got into the house hunt; finding one of the gems at a great price.
Louis Guillama shared how you can snag a fantastic deal by going up with a fixer-upper with solid bones.
Now we're getting into the nitty-gritty – turning that house into a home you love.
We love those designs we see on HGTV and Pinterest, but we don't want to blow thousands of dollars on a renovation.
So how do you get a beautiful home on a budget?
Actually, that's what my husband Rob and I are tackling with our place. We bought a ranch home with a full basement a few years ago.
We've tackled a few projects here and there, but the room that has gotten the most attention by far is the basement.
It's a great sized space around 900 sqft, but when we first bought it, it was well, a basement.
Now after a few projects, we're using it as a dual office space for when we work at home and it's been fantastic.
And so far we've been able to do these renovations debt-free.
So today, Rob and I will share our take on the basement renovation as well as tips on how we saved money with it.
I'll also include tips from home renovator and author Kathi Fleck.
In this episode we'll get into:
Coming up with your renovation design and wishlist

Renovating the Basement
Elle Martinez: All right, so I want to talk to you about the basement renovation because by far we've put the most amount in terms of home projects here.
So I guess we should start at the beginning, which was we were house hunting in neither one of us. I don't think put basement on the list. I mean, we saw split levels, but that wasn't there was more like depending on how this flotilla was arranged.
Rob: Well, yeah. Basement wasn't on the list because basements don't exist in North Carolina.
Elle Martinez: Well, this part [of the state]. I don't know about others.
Rob: Oh, yeah. We got in the area. Basements aren't a thing here. Yes. I mean, basically, that whole area, as we found out, they do exist. You know, they're rare, but they're not common enough that you would put them on your list.
Elle Martinez: Yeah. So when we looked at the house and you saw that it had a basement and yeah, there were definitely issues going on there.
What were your initial impressions?
Rob: Well, well, big space, lots of possibilities.
Elle Martinez: But before we talked about in this idea of it being a home office, we had to definitely get some work done.
The first one was that wall and getting the brace. And that was a few thousand on that. Correct?
Rob: Yeah. We'll call it that.
Elle Martinez: I went ahead and checked and looking at the old invoice, the total was $3,800.
Crucial Home Repairs Before the Renovation
Elle Martinez: And then we get that done. And we found out. What was it. I forgot the weekend. It was. David, in anywhere in town and what was the storm? Was it Matthew? And by storm, I meant hurricane. That's when we realized we had more work to do with. Yes, I believe this, Matthew. Yeah. So who saw that first? I remember pulling up the driveway.
Rob: David. Yeah. He urged the water coming out first and then noticed. And I was like I brushed it off before we had open. The doors are open going through the basement door because it was pouring down rain. And it's like that doesn't make any sense through the door and. Oh, yeah, and less and less water. I mean endless one inch high water. But, you know, an unlimited amount.
Elle Martinez: Yeah. Water in the basement. Never. Good thing. And I think. I should like take a second to mention the reason we were surprised is because there was work previously done with the house. There was a French drain that was installed and then there were to some pumps in the basement. But we found out they don't work quite as well as they were supposed to.
Rob: Yeah. In the case of Matthew, we lost power so the pumps weren't pumping. The next year there was another high rain time period. But instead of. But we didn't lose power.
Even so, the sump pumps were still overwhelmed. One of the pumps was an active didn't activate properly, and the other one got overwhelmed.
And then at another point, the pump actually stopped working. But I think that was after the. That was after we had redone the drainage.
And somehow along the line there, the pipe guy was broken. So it actually wasn't pumping the water out at all, but did matter because we have the drains, the new drainage that way.
Elle Martinez: Yeah. And that was about $5,000 six thousand to get the gravity fed kind of drain around the basement or something like that.
Rob: Ok. I don't recall the exact number.
Elle Martinez: I went ahead and check the invoice and it was just over forty eight hundred. Happy to say we haven't had any flooding or water in the basement since having that installed. So, OK. We had to do the prep work. We had to make sure there is no water that's going to come in and base because it makes no sense to finish it and then have those problems. So when we did have that cleared away, we had the brace. We went with the natural kind of drainage system. What were you thinking in terms of. Okay, now we're actually going to have some fun. This is more like repair work. Now we're gonna do a renovation project. What were some of your thoughts for how this basement could be used?
Rob: Ah, yes, the point where the possibilities have to materialize into actual usage. Still didn't know what to do with that projectors with the space just yet.
Elle Martinez: And I think you have to acknowledge that as part of the renovation process is making decisions on how you think you're going to use.
Even before you call contractors and you get estimates, you just want to have an idea of the potential uses that you could get out of it. And when you have a space like a basement, where there are many different directions you can go to, it can feel a little overwhelming.
But when I had spoke with home renovator and author Cathy Fleck, she gave good advice, which is at this stage in the game, while you're still trying to save up for this renovation, it's a perfect time to think about the possibilities.
Kathi Fleck: One of the things that I like to help people with is go ahead and put everything out there as far as what they do dream what they might want to consider, because this is the time to do it before they get started with this needed to go through some ideas if I really knew what to do with it, because we had a couple of ideas gathering around.
Rob: We have… it could be a guest room or part of it can be a guest room in the entertainment area. I do think that. The office is having these offices and having a little bit of a play area for the kids is a good use.
Elle Martinez: Yeah, but I think because we couldn't exactly nail down the usage, it did lead us to like keep it very simple for the first phase of the renovation, like we wanted an open concept, almost like a studio in a sense of getting the electrical work done, getting the drywall and the framing and everything, but not partitioning any rooms yet. So it's one large room, of course, with the bathroom.
Rob: But yeah. We had I think I had suggested it would be that we would sort of try to create pseudo rooms using various pieces of furniture or dividers so that we could play around with the space before we made permanent walls.
Elle Martinez: I also want to mention how grateful we are. We had a family friend who is very talented in design.
That's her expertise and she gave us a general layout that we could follow with these room dividers that made the most sense for how we planned on using in living in this space. And it's been a tremendous help now.
Elle Martinez: I think a big challenge a lot of families have. And we kind of had was we knew for us we wanted to do this debt-free, save up ahead and pay for it.
The question was like. Do you call contractors and get several estimates for something that you're not going to do for another year or how do you get a ballpark figure?
I remember the very, very initial estimate was when we were getting the drain done. And the contractor was working their bond and his crew. And just asking for it like it was such a ballpark figure, but I told him that I was like, we just want to get an idea of like, how much would it take or how much should we start saving up for?
And I think the original was like fifteen thousand or something like that.
Elle Martinez: And even though this wasn't a concrete estimate, it was really helpful for us, as I mentioned before. We wanted to do this debt-free. So it was important for us to have that money in the bank.
I also want to tell you that there are some fantastic resources out there. If you just want to get a rough idea, such as home advisor and home wise, where you can give an estimate of the materials and get an idea of how much that's going to cost, including labor.
It's not perfect, but it can give you a general idea of what to shoot for. And as you get closer to renovation and you're talking with contractors, just keep in mind that costs can still vary greatly depending on the materials you use.
Kathi Fleck: A lot of times people will say to me, I don't know when it's going to cost. So I really have a hard time giving you a budget. So they're trying to focus in on what they think it's going to cost. But in reality, most of us don't really know what it's going to cost until we get into it. Oftentimes I'm asked. Can you do a green model for a certain dollar amount in the dollar amount is realistic?
But then when they start getting into picking out products, they might choose very high-end ones in that frozen budget way out of line. I won't know that till we get further down the path on picking out the products.
So if they have an idea of what they want to invest in their project and it might be able to make a harmless value, there's a certain dollar.
So I don't want to overspend or maybe I can't afford to put more money into it. So if we start with that, then it's okay.
Here's the budget that you want to work with. What can get done in that time frame or in that budget? Is it going to be realistic for the products that they want or how much they want to do? And sometimes it's not.
Sometimes they have to save a little bit more money or maybe they can't do it at all or they decide they have to pick different products. So by talking about all of these with somebody that they feel that they can work with, then they can start to zero in on what they're remodeling going to be.
Elle Martinez: With the basement, One of the things was it was a significant amount, I think, altogether for the renovation part. It came out to eleven thousand.
So, I mean, that's not chump change. I know we saved monthly and then you're a natural saver with that. And then we decided late tax returns and we tried to find ways to keep costs low, to have as much as we could automated with savings. Right. Am I missing anything?
Rob: Yeah. Basically, he's basically made sure that we had the money and that it was in the accounts that we worked. And so we didn't actually pull the trigger into a new that we had enough money, plus still some extra buffer left over in case anything went wrong.
Elle Martinez: Yeah. Yeah. Because one thing I did know for sure is every time I watched any kind of renovation show or just like from experience says, you have an estimate that you don't know, especially when you're doing something like messing with electrical and walls, that there could be unexpected expenses.
And there were. But I would say Mike did a good job. Contractor finding ways to either offset that or minimize it. When we did come up with those extra costs. Yeah.
Finding a Great Contractor for Home Renovations
Kathi Fleck: They'll tell me. 'I'm not really going for the low price', but they're still going after price because that's the only comparison that they can have. The bottom line, the price. So I think, Jeff, all the different approaches to take a look at what they want to work with. And so there are ways to find good contractors, but a business burial is one. And that's something a lot of people are familiar with. And they can go online and check out that company and see if there's any problems with them, what their rating is. There's also association one belong to Nari, which is the National Association of Remodeling Industry. And there's also another something like Pinterest, which is called How to Use the dot com. And there's reviews for those of us who are on how often have people find me through houses like they're looking for ideas. And also contractors. So if somebody is very visible and is out there in the community and you can find them, know that they're going to be around. Our reputation is extremely important. And the last thing I want is a negative hit on any of those associations because it's totally not going to help me have a positive approach with others. And then I suggest interviewing the contractor and finding out who has a good fit for them or not. Everybody does. And that doesn't mean that they're a bad contractor. It just means that they may not yet be a good fit for that homeowner. So once they find the contractor that they want to work with and they talk about budget as far as what they want to put into it, and then they get the help of the contractor to work with the products that are going to fit within that budget, there's already that working relationship that is starting before they start tearing something out in time to do the job. But many times homeowners are in a hurry and they say, well, I really want to get this down. They're excited. They've been thinking about it for a long time. They have the money saved up or put away until they're ready to get started and then they're in a hurry to find the contractor. And even though they may have met with three or five different contractors, it still may not be the right one.
Elle Martinez: So you might be eager to jump into the renovation. But please take Kathy's advice, interview the contractors.
Hopefully they're interviewing you back, making sure that it's a good fit for both that their style and design and also how cost conscious they are, if that's a major concern of yours, is in line with what you are imagining or expecting.
Finding the right contractor is going to make your home renovation a lot easier.
Elle Martinez: So if anyone's listening and they're going to do a home renovation. Any tips or any piece of advice you want to give them?
Rob: If possible, do it piece by piece to see how you want to use it. I mean, if you have enough to do all of it all at once, great. But if you want to do it piecemeal and you're in a situation, you can do that. I don't know if that's advice or not. That's just what we're doing.

Charles County Mobile Integrated Healthcare
Improved health outcomes, Reduced readmissions, Increased use of preventive and primary care, Reduced avoidable utilization, Reduced spending
Charles County Mobile Integrated Health care or MIHealth is a unique partnership aimed at improving health care outcomes among medically vulnerable populations. This integral partnership between the Charles County Department of Health, University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center, and the Department of Emergency Services creates a health care network that extends beyond the hospital, and carries health and wellness into the community. Program participants receive home visits from an MIHealth team comprised of a registered nurse, paramedic, and community health worker. The MIHealth team can monitor patients at risk for re-admission due to chronic illness, and connect patients with community resources, which improves health outcomes, reduces repeated trips to the emergency room, and reduces calls to 9-1-1.
Initiatives_to_Speed_the_Adoption_of_Best_Practices
Care coordination/management, Patient assessment tools, Care transitions, Patient education/coaching/self-management, Multidisciplinary care teams, Patient care plans, Community health workers, Interventions to address social determinants of health
Physicians office (primary care), Hospital/health system, Behavioral health provider (e.g., mental health and/or substance abuse)
Medicare/older adults, Medicaid, Dual eligibles (Medicare-Medicaid enrollees), Privately insured, Individuals with multiple chronic conditions, Frail/disabled
The Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) Team includes a paramedic, a registered nurse, and a community health worker. Each staff member has a distinct role during home visits and care coordination.
This project took several years of planning to come to fruition. Once funding was obtained, a planning team worked to develop all forms and data collection materials that would be used by the MIH team. Materials for education were developed. Materials from partner agencies were collected to ensure that the staff would be able to refer patients to appropriate services. Staff were hired and trained on the specifics of the program. A MOU was developed and signed by all 3 agencies working on this project. This was done to establish the roles and responsibilities of each agency to the implementation of the project.
Expected improved outcomes for the target population include: 1. Decrease the percentage of ED visits and 911 system calls among participants by 25%. 2. Increase the number of participants who visit their primary care provider twice a year for routine care. 3. Increase health literacy by educating participants on prevention/management of their disease processes. 4. Make at least one referral per participant to a needed community, health, or social service. 5. Give people the tools to self manage their disease processes. The expected benefits to the hospital would be a decrease in their ED utilization among participants and a decrease in their 30 readmissions rate. Charles County EMS would also benefit in a reduction of 911 calls and EMS transports for non-emergent situations.
The program is tracking the number of ED visits and inpatient admissions by program participants, as a reduction in hospital use is a key outcome measure to document program impact. Charles County MIHealth has served 25 patients in its first 3 months of implementation. In the 3 months prior to MIHealth participation, these 25 patients had a total of 114 visits to the CRMC emergency department. After MIHealth, the number of ED visits among participants has dropped 74% to a total of 30 ED visits. The number of inpatient admissions dropped 84% from a total of 31 inpatient admissions 3 months prior to MIHealth to only 5 inpatient admissions in its first 3 months. The number of 30 day readmissions dropped from 10 to 1. Using the average costs for an inpatient admission and an emergency department visit, it is estimated that the MIHealth program has saved $191,800 in its first 3 months of implementation. , Yes, expected results were achieved

31 for 21 Blog Challenge!
Well, this is the first time I have done this. I just joined the 4th Annual 31 for 21 Blog Challenge to raise awareness about Down Syndrome! Which means, I've got to do a blog post a day for the whole month of October. As most of you probably know, I have a great little brother who has Down Syndrome. His name is Osiyyah, he is 5 years old and I know that life without him would be pretty dull! He is just such a blessing.
October is Down Syndrome Awareness month, in case you didn't know ;). If you have any suggestions, things you'd like me to blog about, please leave me a comment - it'll be welcomed!
Mark your calendar and come with us to the annual 2010 Down Syndrome Association of Tulsa Buddy Walk! Come to the track at Union High School in Tulsa, on Sunday, October 17th between 1:30 and 4pm.
We'll be there (with some farm animals!), Lord willing!
A few random photos from this week. . .
Have a good night and hopefully we'll see you in Tulsa on October 17th!
Well, hello all! My Grandma has been here for the past week and we've had a great time. My sister's 20th birthday was a few days ago, we went out to eat a few times and then on Monday we rented the roller skating rink out - that was a blast!
Everyone has been doing pretty well. Yesterday morning Whitney, one of our Min Nubian does, wasn't doing so great. She's had lots of trouble (with snot, pneumonia, etc) since we moved here to Oklahoma, and I've treated her with lots of things but most the time it doesn't really work well. Well, yesterday we finally lost her :(. Seems like all of my posts have had something "sad" in them these past few times, but it's been a rough year! In a way, we all expected to loose her, but as always, very sad :(.
ANYWAY, hopefully my posts will be better from now on ;). On the bright side of things, everything has really been going great. Today we moved Buddy, the alpaca, out of his stall into a small yard with our 7 doe kids and their guardian pup. Buddy is WAY better than he used to be, I can actually get a halter on him now with no troubles, but he still has a ways to go.
They all weren't so sure of each other at first, but they are all doing good together now.
Since I had the camera out there, I had to snap a few photos :). This is Snickers.
On another note, several days ago I made a batch of the mild Feta cheese. This stuff is yummy!
There are still lots of peppers coming from the garden! There are also still pumpkins, watermelons, cataloupe, sweet potatoes, and zuccini growing (and I'm probably forgetting something!).
Well, I think that's it for now. Today's the first day of Fall too - yay!
We did it again. . . got a couple more goats! Yesterday we picked up Athena and Helena. They are Snubian does (Nubian/Saanen). They are both very big and strong does. Thank you to Lexy of Rushtawin Nubians for these girls! Here are a few pictures of them - these photos were taken right before we loaded them up to come home.
This is Goldthwaite Athena II. She is probably bred and due in 1 to 1 1/2 months.
This is Goldthwaite Helena II. She is currently milking.
Yesterday we picked my Grandma up at the airport, all the way from California! I may not be blogging as much as we'll be busy with normal life and doing other things - going places, renting a skating rink for my sister's b-day, etc..
As a quick update - the Boer doe that I posted about last time who had pneumonia - we lost her on Sunday :(. Upon necropsy it looked like about 70% of her lungs were infected and there was something wrong with her neck, possibly listeriosis. Anyway, sad to have lost her, she was actually getting way better and put up a good fight :(.
Everyone else is doing *wonderful*. Very thankful for that.
If anyone is looking for HAY - we have some! Just got another load in. It smells great!
What do I have to update on? Life has been pretty normal, except this weather caused some sickness the past few days. It was pretty nice and not-too-hot here for a while, then on Wednesday we got a lot of rain (from the hurricane), and then it got hot and really humid yesterday. You know what that means? Prime weather for pneumonia. Well, Whitney, one of my Mini Nubian does, had a big rattle in her chest yesterday. I just started to worm her also since she seemed to need it, and for some reason hasn't been as thrifty as everyone else - most of the rest of the herd are doing great, sassy and healthy! She was still eating, but not extremely well. I promptly gave her a bunch of vitamins, Banamine, started her on Naxcel and did not let her go out to pasture. Last night and this morning she is better, but still has a small rattle in her chest.
Most Friday nights are quite crazy around here, trying to milk/etc. before going places. My brother Todahyah came in and said that one of the Boer does did not look well, looked like she had a cold/pneumonia. I gave him some vitamins to go give her and was when I was done milking I'd give her the shot of Naxcel. Well, by the time I was done milking - only 30 minutes later - she was laying down, weak, and was having a hard time breathing. I thought she was dying. I gave her the shot and hoped for the best, we had to leave.
When we got home, she was still there. This morning we decided to tube her some electrolytes, which she did pretty good with. We made her comfortable with a big bed of hay in the shade with her daughter by her (who didn't want to leave her), and we're praying for the best. My cousin who tubed her thinks she'll make it, I'm not so sure.
So, I guess this post is a warning to all you with goats (and any other animals) out there, watch your animals VERY close in this weather. It is more common for animals to get pneumonia in the summer, at least here in humid Oklahoma, than in the winter. They can come down super fast. This Boer doe was normal yesterday morning, 7 hours later she was almost dying.
Off my little soapbox now. . .
Last night my little sister got a little lamb that she is hoping to friendly up and teach to lead. I put Cutie in with her, and she (the lamb) didn't like Cutie at all, she was stomping her feet and all. Pretty funny.
Yesterday we got another load of hay delivered. It is SO nice and, in my cousin's words, "smells so good I almost want to eat it" :)!
We feed our llama, Salty, on the edge of the trailer as it is just tall enough where she can eat it without the goats pestering her too much.
My little sister, Hanunyah, snapped some photos of the goats, sheep and llama going out to pasture this morning. The sheep come out and go one way, the goats and the llama go the other way.
Well, I think that's it for now. Saturday is another busy day, so I guess I gotta go get cleaned up.
I really needed some updated pictures of our sweet little kid, Cutie. She is getting big, and her colors have really come out. Her brown spots are actually white underneath - so if she ever gets a shave job (not this year, too cold!), I think she'll have white spots instead of brown spots - interesting! Anyway, she is just the sweetest little thing and is doing so good with training. She comes when called now (at least when I call her) and is walking on a lead pretty well.
Have a good day. . . I think we'll spend our afternoon swimming, and who knows what else.
It's really been a week since I last blogged?!? Doesn't seem like it! Last night we got a good amount of rain - yay! We've been needing rain for a while now, everything was getting pretty brown and dry.
To recap the past week. . .
We had a "family talk" and decided to get rid of the pond for now. It was either do a lot of work to it and make it much cleaner and better, or drain it for now. We could always plug the hole back up and have a pond again. It was pretty shallow anyway and gross. The only reason we could think of keeping it for would be, ice skating in the winter I guess. Not a very good reason in my opinion ;). The reasons for getting rid of it where - it was a threat to some of our animals. We lost a llama a year and a half ago to Meningeal Worm (deer worm), which is primarily from ponds and swampy areas. Then we had some pigs out to pasture, and one of them got sick from algae poisoning. We treated her and she got better, thankfully. So anyway, since there were no good reasons to keep it and a few reasons to get rid of it, we decided to drain it for now.
On another topic, in my last post I talked about our brown llama, Peppercorn, who was sick. Well, a day later she passed away right in front of us. Very sad :(. Upon necropsy we found out that she was indeed pregnant, but not due for at least another month (makes it even worse, huh). Her heart did not look good and neither did her intestines. Oh well. The Lord gives and takes away, blessed be His name.
You know, we originally got the llamas to guard our goats. When we had both of them, Peppercorn and Salty, they would hang out in the pasture but would not stay with the goats - so, not very good guardians I guess. Well, ever since we lost Peppercorn, Salty has been hanging out with the goats WAY more. She now comes back when they come back for water, she comes back when it's time to milk. So it has actually turned out really well. Praise the Lord! I really think that Salty is pregnant though, her belly just seems to be getting bigger and bigger. We are extra pampering her now though, too :).
It has not been as hot as it was for a while, some days are hot, others aren't as bad. This morning though it was "cold" - 61 degrees! So nice! All the animals liked it I think and they all have felt a bit frisky on the cooler days.
Here's Wonder, the other day, trying to figure out how she could reach those leaves. She eventually did figure it out ;).
If anyone is looking for pot bellied pigs, we have some for sale! I think they're cute ;).

Teen girl sulking in the middle of road in argument with her mom over sitting in the front seat is hit and killed by 'inebriated' driver
Trinity Bachamann, 13, of Apopka, Florida, was struck dead as she sat in the street arguing with her mother about who would sit in front seat of the car
Her mother, Janice Perdoza, was hospitalized and has since been released
Perdoza was pleading with her daughter to get back in the car at the time of the accident as they were miles away from home and it was late at night
The pair were struck by a 21-year-old woman who 'had the odor of alcohol on her breath and her eyes were glassy and bloodshot'
Officers also found an open bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade in her car, but are awaiting the results of a blood test to issue any charges

A young teenager lost her life and her mother was hospitalized following an accident Saturday night.
Trinity Bachamann, 13, of Apopka, Florida, was struck dead as she sat in the street arguing with her mother, Janice Perdoza, about who would sit in the front seat of the car.
Perdoza, 36, was also injured in the accident and hospitalized, but has since been released.
Trinity Bachamann (above) was killed Saturday night as she sat in the middle of the road arguing with her mother
The young girl's friends set up a memorial at the site (above) where Trinity was hit by a driver who 'had the odor of alcohol on her breath and her eyes were glassy and bloodshot'
Apopka police told WKMG that the pair were struck by a 21-year-old woman who 'had the odor of alcohol on her breath and her eyes were glassy and bloodshot.'
They also found an open bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade in the center console of her car.
Two teachers who 'had boozy beach party with five male... 'She's not a monster!' Mom hits back at cruel internet... Cleveland mayor apologizes after city's lawyers blamed... 'Right away we knew something really horrible had happened':...
Trinity, an eighth-grader at Apopka Middle School, was upset with her mother after she was refused a spot in the front seat while driving home from a friend's house.
Though three miles from home, the young girl got out of the car refusing to get back in, despite her mother's pleas.
She then sat down in the middle of the road, refusing to move.
'We heard arguing going on and stepped outside,' said Jackie Suggs, who lives across the street from the scene of the accident.
'Somebody said "get outta here," and next thing you know, bam! She got hit and flew up in the air. It was awful.'
The driver of the car, who did stop after the incident, was given a blood test on the scene.
Authorities are awaiting the results of that test before charging the woman, and said the accident is under investigation.
'She was lifeless, right there, just lifeless,' added Suggs.
'And her mom was just panicking. Screaming.'
The scene of the incident was dark (above) and the teenager was wearing dark clothing noted one passerby
Pizza driver Michael Bryan, 25, said he also saw the girl sitting in the road, but not until the very last second.
'I couldn't see her clearly until I passed them,' he told the Orlando Sentinel, explaining the the road was poorly lit and the teen was wearing dark clothing at the time.
Thinking that the car had broken down, he returned back to scene after dropping off his next delivery, but by then it was too late.
Now, a Go Fund Me page has been set up for the family during this difficult time by Amy Shelly, who was one of Trinity's cheerleading coaches.
'A big personality, a huge heart,' is how Shelley described the popular young teenager.
Friends of Trinity set up a memorial for the girl, who they remember as a 'firecracker' who loved to sing, at the scene of the accident, and grief counselors were made available at the middle school.

If you open up a dryer, one surprising thing is the lack of any gears on the tumbler. It turns out that the tumbler is one giant gear (or actually a pulley), and the motor drives a tiny pulley. Because of the ratio between the huge tumbler diameter and the tiny motor pulley diameter, no other gears are needed!
You can see the thin belt wrapped around the tumbler in the picture above.
A motor drives the small silver pulley that is visible beneath the black pulley in the picture above. The belt loops through the silver pulley, through the black pulley and then around the tumbler. The black pulley provides tension -- when the belt is hooked up, the pulley is drawn off center, and the spring tries to pull it back. This gives the belt its tension.
The same electric motor drives both the fan and the tumbler. The pulley for the tumbler belt is hooked up to one output of the motor, and the fan is hooked to the other.

Saia's 7.5% GRI latest in string of 2022 LTL rate hikes
LTL GRIs continue to outpace prior years' increases

LTL pricing continues to step higher (Photo: Jim Allen/FreightWaves)
Less-than-truckload carrier Saia Inc. announced Tuesday a 7.5% general rate increase (GRI), which will apply to general tariff codes. A press release noted that select accessorial and minimum charges will be impacted as well. The changes went into effect Monday.
Carriers typically use GRIs to adjust base rates on an annual basis. The increases vary by lane and weight class. The announced percentage increase is the expected average change the GRIs will have. The increases are used to offset cost inflation and fund investment in the network.
"At Saia, we are committed to providing customers with leading on-time and claims-free delivery service, while keeping customers informed through our proactive customer service strategy," said Matthew Batteh, VP of pricing and analytics. "At the same time, we continue to expand our national footprint by opening new terminals, as well as expanding or relocating terminals in existing markets."
Saia's (NASDAQ: SAIA) 7.5% rate bump was later than those of some carriers, which began implementing rate changes earlier than normal. The announcements and implementation dates usually land in the first quarter of each year, assuming the market is strong enough to absorb the change.
Yellow Corp. (NASDAQ: YELL) imposed a 5.9% increase on Nov. 1. ArcBest (NASDAQ: ARCB) and privately held Estes implemented increases of 6.9% and 5.9%, respectively, later that month.
FedEx Freight (NYSE: FDX) and Old Dominion (NASDAQ: ODFL) issued increases of 5.9% and 4.9%, respectively, at the beginning of the year. Forward Air's (NASDAQ: FWRD) 7.9% increase takes effect on Feb. 1.
Carriers have seen costs jump throughout the P&L for more than a year now. Increased expenses for driver and dockworker sourcing, diesel fuel, and other supplies have coincided with the need for incremental investment in equipment, terminals and technology to meet robust demand.
"This appears to be the biggest GRI in at least 10 years for the company, and 200bps higher than the GRI this time last year," Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB) analyst Amit Mehrotra told clients in a note. "It also compares to Old Dominion's 4.9% GRI announced in mid-December, which we believe reflects the idiosyncratic pricing opportunity at SAIA from improving service and better analytics around costs (ODFL already has industry-leading pricing due to its best-in-class service, which contextualizes its lower GRI off a much higher base)."
Saia opened seven service centers in 2021 and plans to open an additional 10 to 15 this year besides expanding existing facilities.
"These investments allow Saia to maintain a high level of service, while adding additional capacity to meet customer expectations," Batteh continued. "The GRI is intended to partially offset the rising cost of investments in our employees, new equipment, technology, and real estate, all of which are critical success drivers for providing leading quality service."

Frontier Utilities' service and workplace excellence earned it the 2014 Better Business Bureau Award of Distinction.
CenterPoint Energy, a company that offers natural gas in six states and electricity to all of Houston, services the city and greater area. There are various choices for energy providers in Houston, and Choose Energy has partnered with some of the best. Customers have selections among trusted providers such as Reliant Energy, Direct Energy and TriEagle Energy.
The Bayou City is diverse in its population, culture and electricity rates. Houston attracts college students who attend well-known schools in the area such as Texas Southern University, University of Houston and Rice University. Also, Houston's entertainment and year-round events appeal to young couples and families. Attend an Astros game in Minute Maid Park or visit the Houston Zoo – there's always something happening in H-town.
You may have noticed a lot of electric companies offering a ton of plans and services. But not all light companies in Texas are created equal. So which one is right for you? At Amigo Energy, we want you to trust that you're getting a custom energy plan at a good price—not just a quick fix that'll cost you more down the road. In fact, JD Power gave us four out of five stars for pricing, beating out a ton of other large retail electricity providers.4
2. Most companies have this basic $9.95/mo charge if you don't meet a certain kWh, usually 1000 kWh (Reliant is 800kWh minimum). That will pose a problem in those more temperate months like in the spring and fall because although you're paying lower kWh,you're paying that extra $9.95/mo for no reason. ASK YOUR ENERGY PROVIDER WHAT THE LIMIT IS. I got a minimum of 800kWh/mo with Reliant; if I go under 800kWh, I will have to pay $9.95. Good thing about Reliant is that they do a weekly energy usage report, and you can keep up with how much you may owe. That's pretty useful to me, considering I live in a smaller space, thus less usage.
Texas deregulation began in early 2002 with the approval of Texas Senate Bill Number 7. Now, the majority of the state, including Houston, has the power to select their own provider. Previously, consumers were only given one option for an energy supplier. Deregulation has allowed competition in the energy market and has given residents the power to choose which energy provider sells them energy and bills them each month.

Q: Web Api 2 - Forwarding a request doesn't work I am implementing a payment system that only posts to public IPs and it's creating issues with development.
For that reason I am hosting a proxy controller on the UAT server that accepts the request and forwards it to the appropriate development machine.
So the controller is a bit like this:
    public async Task<IHttpActionResult> ListenerProxy([FromUri] DepositResponse response)
    {
        // If request is targetted towards a developer machine, reroute the request to that machine directly.
        if (response.customField1 == "localhost")
        {
            // Re-route to  machine name
            using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
            {
                var forwardedQuery = Request.RequestUri.Query.Replace("customField1=localhost", "customField1=forwarded");
                var localPath = Request.RequestUri.LocalPath.Replace("/api", "/myapi");
                string absoluteUrl = $"http://{response.customField2}{localPath}{forwardedQuery}";
                var proxyRequest = new HttpRequestMessage(Request.Method, absoluteUrl);
                foreach (var header in Request.Headers)
                {
                    proxyRequest.Headers.Add(header.Key, header.Value);
                }

                await httpClient.SendAsync(proxyRequest); //Doesn't work
                return ResponseMessage(new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Moved));
            }
        }

        return await StartDeposit(response);
    }

At this point absoluteUrl is correct and if I grab the value of it and add it directly on my browser, the request gets handled locally without issues.
However doing it programmatically with httpClient.SendAsync(proxyRequest) doesn't do it. Any ideas why?

The Spotlight Fades on Rockstar Energy
Even though Rockstar wasn't the first energy drink to hit the market, it didn't take long for the brand to make a big impact in a crowded field. Consumers quickly responded to Rockstar's affordable price and large serving size, which set the brand apart from more exclusive products like Red Bull. During its first six years, revenue at Rockstar soared as high as $405 million while it grew at an average annual rate of 103 percent.
By 2007, however, the sales bonanza started to fizzle. Over the last seven years Rockstar's annual average growth has slowed to just 8 percent, placing it a distant third compared to rivals Red Bull and Monster. In fact, some convenience stores have simply stopped stocking Rockstar altogether, a fact that upsets founder and CEO Russ Weiner to no end. As the driving force behind the brand's glorious early days, Weiner's business savvy won him a fortune valued at $2.5 billion. Still, many also blame the company's current stagnant state on its founder's caustic attitude and frugal marketing strategies. After all, if Rockstar had continued to grow at a rate similar to its competitors, Weiner's net worth would have increased by several billion dollars more.
Instead, the company lost both market share and some important partnerships thanks to its CEO. For instance, in 2005 Weiner managed to broker a big distribution deal with Coca-Cola. The deal soon went sour, though, as Weiner admits he'd get into screaming matches with his partners at Coke over strategy. By 2009 the deal had died, leading Rockstar to a less flashy contract with Pepsi along with a 5 percent drop in sales. Former employees also point to Weiner's miserly ways with marketing as a reason for the brand's decline. While Monster diverts 8 percent of its sales to advertising, Rockstar spends just 4 percent of its revenue on promotion. As a result, Monster has a market valuation worth $18.3 billion, more than six times Rockstar's total value. If Weiner wants to put his brand back in the spotlight, he might need to follow his competitors' lead rather than his own.
What appears to be the major problem that affected Rockstar?
Can the company regain its growth and former status in this competitive market?
