Okay, now we get to look at all the movements that are possible at synovial joints. If you think about it, synovial joints are diarthrosis. All our other structural categories of joints, those are not diarthrosis, so there's minimal to no movement at those joints. Why bother classifying the movement? Because there's hardly any that's there. Makes perfect sense to me. So, there are very specific definitions of movement when you're talking about an anatomical body. And think about this for a second. We just learned all the bones. We learned all the bony bumps. We learned all these classifications for joints. Next time, we're going to start talking about muscle. When we're talking about muscle, muscle is a new kind of tissue that we haven't looked at a lot. The fact is, muscle shortens. It's a contractile tissue. It starts out this size and then it contracts and it gets shorter. And when a muscle spans a joint by attaching to two bony bumps, you can actually get movement at that joint. We're going to look at what those movements are, what movements are possible at the different joints. And then you're going to visualize where we even talk about muscles. You're going to visualize what is the muscle that we could put, surround, that we could use at that joint as a little machine to make the movement happen. And then when we get to muscles in just like two days, we're actually going to be able to easily look at the muscle and imagine it shortening and be able to describe the movement that's going to happen as a result of the muscle action at that joint. What? Truly.  Are you ready? Let's do it. Our first set of movements, flexion and extension. Most of our movements are described in pairs. Most of the time, we imagine, unless we're told something different, we imagine a body in standard anatomical position and then we imagine a muscle acting on a joint to cause flexion. And in order to, if flexion happens, which we'll talk about in a second what it is, if flexion happens, then some other action must happen to put the body part back where it was and that's usually the opposite. So the opposite of flexion is extension. Now look, flexion is a movement that actually causes the decreasing of an angle in the coronal, no, in the sagittal plane. Let me visualize that for a second. Here's the sagittal plane and if a movement can happen in that sagittal plane, that movement is considered flexion or extension. Flexion is when the angle decreases. Look, starting in standard anatomical position like this, here's my angle, it's like, what is that, 180 degree angle, a straight leg. And then the angle decreases because flexion happened. Flexion of the leg at the knee joint. Let's write that down. Flexion of the leg, what joint? The knee joint. Can you visualize that? All of our movements, we're going to define where they're taking place. If we flexed our leg at the knee joint and we want to go back to where we started, we are going to extend the leg. We're going to go this direction. We're going to increase that angle. We're going to extend the leg at the knee joint. You can also flex, probably the best way to remember is to imagine flexing your forearm at the elbow joint. That's a good one because you can imagine, you know, flexing your bicep, we will learn that, no, we're not actually flexing all of our muscles. We're actually contracting our muscles. So I will contract my biceps in order to flex my arm at the elbow joint. That's flexion, my angle decreased and in that sagittal plane. If I want to put it back, I'm going to extend my forearm at the elbow joint. And it's another muscle. It's not biceps that is responsible for that flexion. It's triceps that's responsible for the extension, putting it back where it started. This is a tricky one. Look at the shoulder. He starts in standard anatomical position. He shortens, he decreases the angle. What? Really? Look, it started out at 180 degrees and now it's not, it's less.  What? True story. Which means extending your humerus at the shoulder joint is returning your arm to that standard anatomical position. I think that's kind of counterintuitive. You can't really hyper-extend it if you think about it. You can't really hyper-flex something, but you can hyper-extend it. You can hyper-extend your knee, return it back to standard anatomical position. You extend your leg at the knee joint. But you could go beyond that. It doesn't feel good, but you could. Your fingers, you can flex your fingers. You can flex your finger at the phalange metocarpal joint. You can extend your finger. I can't like, over-flex. Can you over-flex? I mean, I kind of feel like maybe I could over-flex there. But I feel like, you know, actually I feel like I totally could over-flex. So I don't know why they would call that hyper-flexion. But extension, I could actually extend beyond, beyond standard anatomical position. And that's considered hyper-extension. Your head, I flex, I extend, I hyper-extend. Don't look up my nose. Abeduction, abeduction, and a deduction. We were in the sagittal plane. We are now going to the coronal plane. And abeduction and adeduction are actions that happen in the coronal plane. You don't actually pronounce them abeduction and adeduction. That is a windy-ism because abeduction and adeduction sound really similar to me. So I have to, it's a way for me to think about what I'm saying. Abeduct, abduct. If I abduct my arm, I'm going to move my arm away from the midline. If I adduct my arm, I'm going to move it back toward the midline. You can abeduct and adeduct your fingers. A-D-A-B-duct, I'm abducting my fingers. A-D-duct, I'm adducting them, putting them back toward the midline. You can abeduct and adeduct your legs. You can abeduct and adeduct your wrist.  That's cool. The visual of that, look. Here's abeduction away, adeduction toward. All right, you ready for this one? You know you are. Circumduction, what? Circumduction is flexion, extension, adeduction, and abeduction all at the same time. All at the same time, no, like some combination. And one of my students, a rock star, tipped in, hooked up a total, like mathematical explanation of circumduction. And what point we had abeduction, adeduction, extension, and flexion happening. And it was like, whoa, that was really cool. If you combine all of those things, you can get a circular motion that if you want to break it down, break it down, go ahead. What's that going to do? Medial and lateral rotation. We're in a new category, you guys. We, if we're rotating at a joint, we're actually twisting. And look at how great you can see me twisting. I love it. Look, here's my rotation. Oh, perfect. We can rotate like this. That makes you see that it's not, this movement is actually, oh gosh, what is that? That's flexing. Dang it. Why do I use that as my example? Who cares? This, I mean, doesn't that kind of make you think of and moving off to the side? But this is rotation.  So I can do a medial or lateral rotation at my hip joint and I can do a medial or lateral rotation at my shoulder joint. This is showing you medial and lateral rotation at the hip and I don't see any place where he's showing you medial or lateral rotation at the shoulder, but you can visualize that. Your textbook has nice images as well. All right. Okay, so we had our medial and lateral rotation, which you can visualize and this is just plain old, straight up stone cold rotation. And I want to say that this would be something else that we'll describe in a second. All right. If you rotate your forearm at the joint between your radius and your ulna, that's called pronation and supination. Supination ends up palms forward, standard anatomical position. Pronation ends up palms facing backwards, not in standard anatomical position. You can remember that however you would like to. I remember that if my hands are supinated, I can hold soup in them and eat. If they are pronated, no soup for me. Pronation and supination, although there is some argument that they take place in your feet, oh, holy heck, I can't even visualize that, no. They take place, pronation and supination is only happening in your forearm. Are you good with that? I hope so because it makes me want to cry to think of trying to describe it in your feet. Depression, elevation. That's really straightforward. That's actually a movement that's happening at my scapula. My scapula is elevating and depressing. My mandible, the press, easy, ready. We have a couple of foot words. These are your feet. Take a deep breath. Doorsy flexion. Doorsy flexion is basically lifting your foot, your toes to the sky so that you are walking on your heels. That's doorsy flexing. So I think it's called the duck walk. Duck walk. I'm just helping you remember.  Think of planting in the ground and I don't know why that makes me go up on my tiptoes. And then doorsy flexion, I'm like flexing. I don't even know. I can't even explain to you where do these words come from. Why? But it's true because everything I say is true. That was your foot. That's standing. That's duck walking and standing on your tiptoes. I seriously think we should do jazzer size with anatomical movement terms. Wouldn't that be a fun game? Yes. Inversion and eversion of your feet. You're not inverting or everting anything else. This would be a great, like, sort the terms, put them into two groups because inversion, eversion, doorsy flexion, and plantar flexion all happen only at your feet. So inversion means you're, what is that? How do you describe that? You're putting the bottoms of your feet together. That's inversion. Eversion is putting the bottoms of your feet away from each other. Inversion, eversion, normal noversion, standing on your tiptoes. That's what this is representing. That is plantar flexion, standing on your heels, doorsy flexion, do it because it's fun. Protraction, retraction, protraction, retraction, protraction, retraction. Opposition is only at that saddle joint in your thumb where your thumb metacarpal connects to the carpal in your wrist. And opposition is this movement. So it's your thumb specifically. It only happens in your thumb. It goes over like this. This is reposition. Opposition, reposition. Opposition, reposition. Nice. And then we have lateral flexion. I think this is lateral flexion. That's why it has its own name. I'm not sure, but it's also of the torso. So lateral flexion is what, it's taking place in the coronal plane. And it's only happening at the vertebrae. That works, because this is at the vertebrae. These are at cervical vertebra. And this is at lumbar vertebra. Okay, that works. So that's lateral flexion. That was that whole thing that confused me back.  I bet you are. And you probably think I'm joking, but I'm not. We probably will do it.


My name is Jeremy Calvert, my wife and I are married in 99 and I've been in vegetable production now for better than 20 years. We've been growing strawberries for about 14 or 15 years. We started out in wholesale red potatoes and we were already doing that and we'd do a limited amount of tomatoes and not a whole lot, but she and I would do that just for kind of for extra money and then we were in commercial broilers as well. We're going to head over and look at the strawberries. We can't get there with a truck right now. I take that back. We can get there right now, but it's just so muddy. I don't put any vehicles in the field if at all possible. We just have five and a half inches total the last three days, something to that effect. We're up to two acres of strawberries now and probably going to have to increase a little bit more from that. The first year my wife and I planted and it was just me and her. We planted 6,000 plants and I picked them all by myself and she sold them. She'd helped me pick when she had time, but that's how we started out. This field was in no-till production four years prior to this.  A year of it was in no-till pumpkins and then last year it had a cover crop of over winter to cover crop of rye clover and vetch and then we drilled in sun hemp on top of that, terminated it the last week of July and we laid this plastic. Some was around the 10th of September if I remember correctly. I never irrigate fruit that we're about to pick. We pick, then I irrigate. By that time the fruit's already on a dry cycle and so sugar content's going to be at its highest when you pick, you know. That's my goal and that's the reason to have computerized irrigation. You don't forget and leave the water on. When berries have long stems like this and big calyx, you see how wide this berry here is. It's not a perfect example of what I would consider, but if it has the right conditions on it and I'll do my job and it's left till it's prime to pick, that berry would be as big as upon my hand. I've got pictures of them from years past when they do that. Not everyone's going to do that, but I can tell you that one will. I can tell by looking at it. When you see one that's small, say like this right here, you might get a big berry out of that, but it doesn't have the potential that this other one has. They're just two very different systems there. And of course you can also see what's coming on. There's a lot coming on here. I hadn't counted the crowns on any of the plants yet. If they hadn't changed, they say the perfect strawberry plants between 7 and 11 crowns per plant. That's the perfect plant. And those things are always, a lot of the time, out of our control. That's just something we can't always control that. All of our strawberry buckets come from Southern Container in Wilson, North Carolina. And some of our peach baskets come from them and then we've started using a new peach basket supplier out of Clanton this time for our peach baskets. Our boxes come from one of two places. They come from the Birmingham Farmers Market. The market in Birmingham actually keeps wax boxes for their growers for squash, cucumbers, pepper, stuff like that. And they also keep tomato boxes. I'll either get tomato boxes from them or Blunt County Co-op. They handle all that kind of stuff. We do wholesale some berries, but that's not the goal. The goal is retail. If I was a young beginning grower, that's what I would be focused on as that retail dollar. Without that, it's tough. There's just not enough money there. The product goes through too many hands taken out of the pie and at the end of the day you don't get paid enough. You think I can sell 100 buckets a day at any given day selling strawberries? Well, strawberries don't pick that way. One day you may pick 50 buckets and the next day you may pick 150. So in order to compensate for those days that you pick 50, you've got to have a little bit more production than what you need, which means inevitably sooner or later you're going to have to wholesale some. And we've got a few outlets where we sell some to some schools and just some other different wholesale outlets I've picked up over the years. If I had to say one thing that was kind of challenging for us over the years is, we didn't grow up in the vegetable industry, so we really didn't know anybody. And it took 20 years to get some of the contacts that I've got now, not because people didn't want to buy from us, but because they didn't know us or they already had a supplier or maybe they thought their supplier did a little better job or maybe later on they think I'd do a little better job. Who knows, but it just took time to build all those contacts. The effects of the COVID pandemic had on my particular operation was honestly in the field it didn't really change very much. At retail markets it changed things a lot for us. The way we built our store enabled us to basically turn it into a drive-thru. And we did that with everything except pumpkins and it's just hard to have a pumpkin drive-thru. It just won't work. We had some consumers that didn't like it. They wanted to be able to get out and touch it and examine their product. For the vast majority of people they really liked it. One of the biggest benefits I think came out of it was in retail vegetable business, we've always had a problem with consumers wanting to touch the product. Well, we eliminated that and it gave us a good reason to. We started web sales and initially it was pretty good but as the pandemic wore on and people got a little less afraid, it kind of got to where it wasn't as good as what it once was. I wouldn't say we're not doing it anymore but it's just not what it once was. And another thing for us, we're kind of established. We've been here for several years now and so we don't really worry too much about advertising. She'll advertise on Facebook because it's cheap. I would encourage any grower to do that. It's just cheap free advertising and if you want to boost a post it's relatively cheap to do that. We do our best to sell the strawberry the day it's picked or the next. Very rarely will it ever go the next day. It's hard to put a product in a consumer's hand that's been picked for three days. It's good, that's what I'm trying to say. We generally, especially in peak season, we may be picking strawberries most all the day, but we do our best to be done picking by lunchtime because heat's a factor. We try to do that with everything. Doesn't always work that way. But the bad thing about vegetables is you're not selling rocks. Rocks will last from now until eternity. They're not going to go bad. Vegetables should have been sold yesterday. That's just the attitude you got to learn to take. And so what we were talking about post harvest management is it can be a big deal. It's the difference in determining whether your consumer gets a good product or a bad product. You can grow the finest product in the world, but if you don't manage it post harvest and get it to your consumer in a timely manner, it's not going to matter what you do. The issue we have here with spring timing where we live, inevitably we always get a three or four inch rain that can cause some issues. Water cannot stand on plastic. It's just a nightmare. Nothing does well. You cause so many issues. I try to lay fields out where it'll drain, but it don't always work that way. Sometimes there'll be a low spot or a high spot in the field that you'll never notice until you lay plastic on it.  If you've got a cover crop on it or a grass crop of any type, you need to have it plowed under at least a month before you're ready to lay plastic. Once you get the soil loosened up, you can get it weed free and get it in good condition.  Everybody's got their own different system. As a general rule, I use four foot plastic on most everything except strawberries and we use five foot on it because we double row it. Four foot is much easier to work with. It's easier to lay, easier to get up. It's a third less cost than five foot plastic. You can also go with three foot plastic. I've got a three foot plastic layer, but one of the issues I don't like is the little three foot plastic layer lays on not a tall bed. I like a tall bed for several reasons. Number one, it gets you up out of the water if you've got any standing water anywhere, but the second one is it's much easier to apply herbicides in your middles and not potentially have crop damage. The shallower of that bed, the easier it is to be able to get herbicide up on the plastic where you don't want it and eventually you're going to get it on your cash crop. That's one of the reasons I like tall beds so well. The drawback to tall beds is it takes more water. You've got a bed that's up out of the soil more and it's going to dry a little faster so it's going to take more water. You probably want to consider that with what water source you might have. One of the reasons this plastic is laid so early, I'd love to wait a month to be able to lay plastic, but in our business everything, the earlier the better. It's all about early production if at all possible. I don't pick a low field or something that's not going to dry out fast and you want to pick your highest dry spot to be able to get in there. Well, this fits that category. We'll plant squash and cucumbers here probably in the next 10 days. We'll set out tomatoes no later than the 15th of April and I don't think we've ever had a crop completely taken out by frost. I don't remember one if there has been and we'll probably plant some sweet corn in the next 10 days or so. You'll hear debates back and forth about sweet corn on plastic. I have seen it if you'll treat it properly and take care of it. I've seen it make four years to the stalk. Then what we'll do once we finish that early plant sweet corn we'll go in and mow sweet corn off and come back in with some type of cucurbit crop and get two crops out of it and by doing that it's justifiable in my opinion. It's economically justifiable. Here if I'm not careful I lay such a high bed or run out of plastic. You can see how I've just barely got the edges covered. These first six rows here is where I started and I was still getting everything adjusted and we had to go back and shovel a little bit on some of these. A determinate tomato is one that's going to get about four or four and a half feet and quit growing. An interdeterminate tomato will grow as long as the plant can survive. It'll grow over frost. The problem with interdeterminate tomatoes is, you know, well it's the problem with any vegetable. The farther you get away from that root it's harder to have bigger, pretty fruit. If that makes sense. The closer you are to the root, the easier it is to have big fruit. The reason is you're supporting more plant. Now if you've got a plant that's six foot long and you've got a tomato on the end of it it takes more juice or more plant nutrients whatever you want to call it to make that tomato bigger than it did the plant that was one foot from the root. And so the advantage to determinate tomatoes is they're a little easier to manage. They get so high and they're only going to produce so long the disadvantage is you're going to have to have successive plantings to keep them, to keep steady production. That's the disadvantage to them. We're always experimenting throwing new stuff in just try it and see what happens. Because you know even if you take someone else's word for it that something new works for them that doesn't mean it's going to work on your farm. You've got to experience it for yourself and you never want to just wholeheartedly go into something new without knowing anything about it. You've got to try a little of it to be able to know. And sometimes something that works for someone else might work for you but you're going to have to do it just a little bit differently than they did to get the same results. This field's been in conventional cultivation for two years. It was in no-till prior to that for two or three years and after these two years of conventional cultivation it would go back into no-till probably for four to six years somewhere in that neighborhood with cover crop rotation and also cash crop rotation. Let's say this was in squash and we were picking squash right now and we had a four inch rain. Now we've got two choices to get that squash out of the field. We can either haul it out or we can tote it out. If you put a vehicle out here right now I guess what's going to happen. You're going to get stuck. With no-till you eliminate a lot of that. You can travel on the ground when it's a little bit wetter and there's a lot of things to make it much much better for your soil. We always going to have to do some conventional tillage to get early production. That's just the way it's always going to have to be on black plastic but it doesn't have to be the same spot every year. We move that around and you can only abuse the soil so long you know sooner or later it catches up with you. You've got to take care of it. Anywhere there's a dirt road that's traveled very much and when it's dry if dust comes off that dirt road and floats across any field or any high tunnel that's where you'll have spider mites first. They live in that dust. I don't have a huge problem with mites. We try to stay away from pyrethroid insecticides that has a lot to do with it. If you use a lot of pyrethroids you're going to have more mites. It flares them up. If you get in a streak here where we haven't had rain for four to six weeks you're going to see some spider mites. That's just the kind of weather they love. They love that kind of stuff. They can't take cool wet temperatures. Hot dry weather is what they like. A vegetable grower especially I'd say your number one hurdle is going to be labor. That's a huge issue. We use H2A labor. Without that we would have to make drastic changes without it. It's expensive. It costs you more money. There's a lot of government red tape but at the end of the day you've got legal dependable labor and there's a lot of advantages to it too. This is a blackberry planting that's in its third year. We'll be going into our third year on this blackberry planting. We started out with less than a hundred plants and now I really don't know how many I've got. It's several hundred. How I got started in blackberries was we had contemplating growing some for a few years and Arnold Kaler kind of helped me get started in them and he's been kind of a driving force behind that and has kind of helped us get to where we are now and it's been good for our operation. All of our blackberries came from agri-starts in Florida. They were tissue culture plants. Anybody that wanted to get started in blackberries I'd recommend you go with tissue culture plants. You're just getting a virus-free plant. We went in and pruned them. We're doing our tying system a little different than this now. This is basically just like you would tie a determinate tomato. We've just put string on both sides of it but we're going to convert most of our blackberries over to a tea trellis and I like it better. There's some drawbacks to doing things like this. One of the drawbacks is about the time you're picking a crop of blackberries it's putting up new canes and you don't really have a way to control them so they kind of fall out of the way and inevitably sooner or later you get some wind damage on them and with a tea trellis that's permanent and constant there you don't have all that problem. You've got something to hold that cane while you're picking a crop. We met agri-starts. We met a representative of theirs at vegetable growers conferences. The one in Alabama as well as the one in Savannah, Georgia. We try to go to the one in Savannah, Georgia every year. In the trade show is how we've met a lot of where I've purchased a lot of this stuff but I would encourage any vegetable grower that's serious about it to go to and it never fails. A grower's vegetable conference comes up at the wrong time you need to be doing something on your operation and you think I don't have time to go but it pays off in the long term to go to these classes to go to vegetable conferences and meet other people because everyone that I've ever been to after a while you hear a lot of the same things you see a lot of the same people but I always come away with something. Cover crop is a crop that's planted and not specifically be sold for cash it's planted specifically to build the soil and maintain nutrients and in our case also you can kind of get an idea of the lay of the land to control erosion. Some of our ground it's just it's best not to plow it up if at all possible it doesn't work real well when you get large rains so we totally eliminate all that with cover crops. What we have here is rye, clover and vetch rye seeded in at 50 pounds of acre vetch at around 15 pounds of acre and clover, crimson clover at around 10 if I'm not mistaken. This was planted the first part of last October and basically stays dormant until about now this is March the 19th of 2021 and the last two weeks it's like you can almost stand back and watch it grow but what we'll do is we'll let the cover crop get up to shoulder height on me or so somewhere in that neighborhood and then we'll roll a crimp it down and then we'll do no-till vegetables into this this field will probably be all being no-till pumpkins we had no-till tomatoes here last year some no-till sweet corn and some other crops as well some squash and cucumbers that were no-till but mainly no-till tomatoes here last year we've been using cover crops for probably at least 12 years all of our vegetable crops they're cover cropped this ground will probably stay in a cover crop rotation for 6 years cover crop in the winter and a cash crop in the summer back to cover crop in the winter cash crop it'll probably stay in that rotation for about 6 years or so before we make a change and the whole time we're constantly building organic matter which you can never get enough of and add nutrients to our soil and stop an erosion most of what I know about cover crops came from Arnold Kaler who was superintendent of the experiment station in Cullman in North Alabama and he did a heavily researched cover crops and adapted cover crops into a lot of vegetable production and I had used them prior to knowing him but I didn't use them to the extent that we do now until he started doing his research something everybody needs to incorporate into their operation if at all possible now one of the drawbacks is sometimes you need a little more land than what you would need otherwise to incorporate cover crops but there's no question in my mind it pays off in the long run it's a long term goal this particular orchard is 12 years old the oldest one is 15 years old I don't know if I'd be involved in it I don't know if I'd attribute it to laziness or just what I'd attribute it to but really what caught my eye was you know what I'd like to pick a crop well I don't have to bend over all the time and so we decided we might want to get into the peach business and I'll give Mike Reeve's credit Mike was a big factor in helping me get started in the peach business he's a little bit north of here at Hartsle his family has been growing peaches since about 1959 I think and one of the first things you come across is when you want to grow peaches is well you can't do it this far north or you'll get killed by cold and Chilton County is the best place to grow peaches and so nobody ever really grown commercial peaches here so nobody knew and when you don't know there is but one way to find out and that's set out trees and Lord's been very good to us we've had consistent peach crops knock on wood it just kind of grew like the strawberries 380 trees I believe and now we're up to somewhere around 1300 I've lost track most of mine came from Cumberland Valley I've got some from Vaughan and some from Freedom there's three nurseries that I've dealt with but they come a bare root plant we usually try to set ours out in the first half of February when we set out new trees try to subsoil where the tree is going to go it doesn't seem like much you wouldn't think it would make that much of difference but in years say we set out an orchard and then we're always going to lose a few trees well the next year you go back and replant the ones you've lost that tree never catches up to the others and it's not because it's a year behind it's something else and it's just my opinion that when you subsoil where that tree is going to go it just allows those roots to go wherever they need to go and get grow quicker so I thought as I went on one of the hardest things to figure out was how to prune how to thin and some things you just only learn by doing it pruning is when we go in here with loppin' shears and hand shears and we're going to thin out wood a peach tree makes fruit on second year's wood this red wood like you see right here this is three year old wood and this is not ideal what we ideally want and this is not a good example of it this is an example of when a young grower starts out and didn't know what he was doing and he finally figured it out but it's too late to fix it ideally we would want fruit wood up and down this limb we would want red wood about so long up and down the whole limb so that we would fruit the entire area well that's not what we have here this is one of those things but ideally this is perfect fruit wood right here about the size of a pencil lots of blooms nice and healthy and at the end of the day this limb needs one peach on it not one bad peach one good peach thinning is just what I said like this limb right here it's got 25, 30 flowers on it when it actually sets fruit we're going to come back in and that limb needs one peach on it so somebody has to by hand all those have to come off they can't act like a wild man you can't go crazy with it it's slow, it's time consuming and it takes labor to do it if this tree was pruned correctly and I wanted to thin it by myself I could spend at least an hour here and probably still not be done so that gives you an idea about how many hands it takes to do this a mature tree can only support so much fruit and pretty there's a certain amount of growth there you can disperse that growth amongst a thousand peaches and it'll be this big or you can disperse that growth amongst 320 peaches and it'll be this big so I don't want no more than 500 peaches on this tree preferably less than that this limb here has probably got just guessing I'm going to say at least 40 blooms on it ideally it needs one or two peaches two at the most and once you get past the point you think you're okay from the cold weather you think I've got a crop and we're not going to get froze out then you've got a limited window when all that fruit has to come off when I can take let's say this bloom it turns into a peach and this peach is so big when I can take my pocket knife and cut through that green peach and the seed gets hard enough to close my knife down I should have been finished thinning you've hurt size you'll do good thinning from that point on but you've hurt size up to that point you've cost yourself some growth so what I'm getting at is thinning is the hardest job that has to be done the quickest of any job in the orchard you've got a set window to do it there of about two and a half weeks and it's not that you can't thin after that or can't thin before that all the peaches are going to be on this tree and what always got to come off and it's all done by hand you can pick peaches the third year expect to pick a fair amount of peaches the third year the second year you basically need to a standard practice is to pull all the peaches off the second year if it makes any because you're still building a tree you need to build a tree before you can pick quality fruit so the third year you expect the seventh year is when the tree's in its prime so you're looking at at least a four year investment before you could see some decent return that might not be true you could probably pay for the tree the third year but to be fair the tree itself is not the main cost the cost of productions in labor and maintenance and of course chemicals that's another cost as well the fatter fertilizer is real close to me I use them and I also use Blunt County co-op they deliver to me so it works out real well for me I don't have to send a driver I don't have to go get it myself I don't buy just pesticides from them I buy fertilizer, plastic grip tape irrigation supplies they handle a lot of stuff from both of those suppliers as far as our particular operation goes I could say gains that could be made in agritourism it's not something I'm particularly however that being said it's very possible one or both of my daughters could come on and they could very well like that aspect of things and if they do that's going to be their baby I would like at some point to be fair with you I would like at some point to be where I am right now my wife and I started out to where we did everything and I never really thought we'd get past that point I really thought we would probably just be small enough to be a large part of our life but it's grown now to the point to where I've got more employees I don't do as much as the physical work is what I once did I still do a lot of it but I don't do as much as I did it's more of a management role and I'm not sure I didn't like it better when I did the physical part of things but anyway it's a little easier on me now the drawback to that is you've got to play a role and you've got to make play a role in those lines but as far as our future is concerned what we would plan for is just to continue to be able to steadily grow and survive I'm not sure that I ever want to be super huge I don't know that I want to deal with the headaches of it but I do want to be able to survive and support my family and live in prosperity that's what I'd like


What's up guys, this is Theron, and tonight we're taking another dive into the Parawatch Wiki. Tonight's tour was started by user Spectral Sprite on August 12, 2009. It's called The Clock at St. Claude's. Let's begin. Despite popular belief, the building is still occupied. I've come to be on a first name basis with a couple of the men who guard the property, so I won't make their jobs any more difficult by giving out the name of the location. Still, those of you who are from the area will know the place I'm talking about, and anyone else dedicated enough can probably find it with some clever googling. Suffice to say that somewhere in the United States, there was an orphanage. Let's call it St. Claude's Orphan Asylum. Before it was an orphanage, it was a boarding house, and before then, it was a would-be dormitory. Today, the building is the wellspring from which our entire local mythology flows. Most of it is bullshit, of course. After all, it's a spooky old orphanage. The place probably would have attracted stories even if nothing bad ever really happened there. The fact that bad things did happen there is just the icing on the cake. It's the perfect source for campfire fodder. I can attest to that. My first exposure to the St. Claude's mythos was at a sleepover in third grade, told in hushed tones amidst blankets and flashlights. In recent years, I began to wonder how much of this lore was fact and how much was fiction. Obviously, the tales of ghosts and curses and whatnot would be difficult to verify, but what about the human horrors? I decided to do some research. Right off the bat, I was shocked to find that several of the most lurid atrocities attributed to St. Claude's weren't just matters of public record, they were practically mundane by virtue of how many similar cases you can find in the history of our country's orphanages. Based on everything I've read, I can say with no exaggeration that for most of the 20th century, orphanages could murder children with no effort or consequence. There were countless acts of cruelty committed on the grounds of St. Claude's. Every case of abuse is a tragedy, and I don't mean to diminish the significance of any injustice by excluding it, but exclude I must. For today's purposes, we won't linger on the beatings, the molestation, the daily humiliations, or the alarming number of accidents involving stairways and windowsills and electrical sockets and pointed chaps of wood.  Next post. The first thing you need to understand is the building itself. In its earliest life, it was intended to be a dormitory for a privately-funded college, but the private funder went broke and the project abruptly ended. Still, the dormitory was mostly finished, and a couple of enterprising businessmen finished up the property to use it as a boarding house. One key feature remained incomplete though, the clock on the facade. The face was set up and ready to go, numerals embossed and polished, but there were no hands to be found. The issue seemed to stem from a miscommunication between the clockmaker and the architect. Normally there's a shaft which connects the hands on the exterior with the clockwork inside the actual building, but the shaft delivered to the site was too short to bridge the gap and too wide to fit through the opening in the wall. The clockmaker and the architect each claimed each other for the mistake and demanded further payment to fix it. So naturally, nothing else was done about it until the Catholic Church paid to have the clock face covered by brickwork when they bought the property two decades later. As for the clock's internal mechanisms, never removed. The second thing you need to understand is the children. Despite its name, St. Claude's Orphan Asylum did not how it was mentally ill children. What's more, the children weren't even orphans in most cases, but simply extracted from troubled families by the church or government after their parents were deemed lacking in morals, or money. Children up to the age of 13 were accepted in St. Claude's, but sometimes stayed through early adulthood if they had nowhere else to go. Adoptions were rare, and when they did happen, the happy new parents were often said to look disturbingly familiar. The sisters taught the children employable skills such as sewing, although actual employment was not permitted while under the sisters' care. Not that they opposed child labor, of course. The children were still expected to earn their keep. Idleness is a sin, after all. Whenever an enterprising scamp would sneak off to work in odd jobs in town, their wages were confiscated without fail. The sisters always knew, and the sisters always punished. Of course, punishments didn't always require an actual offense. The children of St. Claude's had a reputation, you see. Most had come from other orphanages who were ill-equipped to deal with that particular child. The sisters attributed these children's issues to spiritual matters, generational sin usually, though satanic influence wasn't out of the question. Survivors have recounted tales of exorcisms where the accused was physically restrained for hours, sometimes days. In one case, a child is said to have been tied feet and hands to a brass light fixture and fed meals by their peers by use of a pole. One former inmate of St. Claude's recalled an incident where a five-year-old girl was accused of black magic. A nun claimed to have seen the girl levitating, and when the girl embarrassed her by failing to reproduce the effect for the other sisters, she took the child and threw out a second-story window. The girl reportedly screamed, catch me, catch me, as she fell. By the time the witness made it outside, the little girl was nowhere to be found. The sister simply said that she had gone home to be with her parents. Fear was a constant companion for the children of St. Claude's. All punishments and reprisals were the stuff of nightmares, but the one that brought me to write this today is the winding of the clock. The foyer of St. Claude's takes up both stories and has a curved staircase and a small balcony on the second floor to give the impression of grandeur. Unfortunately, the clock was built on the central gable directly above the front entrance, which means there's no way to access it directly from below. Instead, one asked to traverse a narrow, raised attic that protrudes along the center of the building from front to back like a spine. The entrance to the attic was, of course, at the other end of the building. Almost every single day, a child would be forced to climb into the attic, travel the full length of the spine, and wind a clock that had no hands, no face, and no bells. On all the other days, the child would still be there from the day before. Final post. Urban exploration of an abandoned space is technically considered a form of trespassing in most cases. On the other hand, trespassing in an occupied space is hardly ever considered urban exploration, and it always struck me as a double standard. Don't get me wrong, there was no force entry involved. I'm not a thug. All I had to do was become buddies with one of the guards. After we got to know each other, I explained the history of the place and assured him I only wanted to look around, and he gave me an hour. I walked through the front door. St. Claude is a clergy house nowadays. The only folks who live there are a few old white men who go to bed before 10pm. The floors are creaky, but the rooms are close enough together they just blame each other for the noise, so getting to the attic was a piece of cake. Getting through it was the hard part.  Old furniture, mountains of bibles, old Christmas decorations, all of it ancient, all of it ruined by water damage and infested with rot. Ceiling was lower than expected, just a little under 5 feet of clearance. Explain why they sent the kids up to do it. Walking more than two dozen yards while hunched over would be bad enough on its own, let alone we have to constantly stop and crawl over a moldy love seat or a box of tinsel and spiders. The far end of the attic drops down under a couple of steps leading up to the gable, which allowed me to stand up straight again. The clock mechanism itself isn't terribly large, at least not to an adult. About 4 feet tall, roughly the size of a chest of drawers. A skeletal frame wraps around the base like the edges of a box, leaving every tooth on every cog fully exposed. To wind it, one must have fixed a detachable crank to the top of the device and give it a couple dozen turns. Now if you're about 5 feet tall this is no problem. Unfortunately, most of the kids at St. Claude's were under 10 years old. Let me walk you through it.  The nun threatens to send you to bed without supper or worse if you don't wind this damned clock. You're sent up to the pitch dark attic with only a box of matches, maybe an oil lamp if you're lucky. You're too short to reach the crank, so what do you do? You climb up onto the frame and kneel over it. The crank is stiff and heavy.  The crank hits a hitch.  It suddenly gives, but you're not ready for it. Your foot slips. Your leg slides between the gears. The heavy clockwork snaps your body in three different places as it pulls you in. More than a dozen children are said to have died this way. No bodies were ever found, but there were remains. One survivor told me that she was put on clock duty a few days after a little blonde girl had vanished. And sure enough, she found a knot of wispy golden hair snared around a sprocket. She took it for evidence and hid it in her pillow, but a sister discovered it two years later. Having seen the clock myself, I can't quite tell you whether I think it's as deadly as the stories say. The machine and area around it are clean, no blood or hair or even rust to be found. The teeth on some of the gears look quite sharp and there are certainly a lot of pinch points, but it doesn't strike me as a meat grinder for children. I guess my verdict is that any child who fell in probably wouldn't be reduced to a pulp, but they would definitely come out broken. Speaking of which, I made a discovery. Three of them actually. The first is that there's a ladder right behind the clock mechanism. It's wedged in tight, not like someone stored it there by accident. It's clean too. The second is that there's a conspicuous series of seams in the wood beneath the machine that form a small rectangle, just big enough to fit a small adult through. The third discovery, and the reason why I'm sharing this with you all today, is that it's still ticking. Someone is still winding the clock. But okay, wow, that's it. That is...weird. Alright, so what do you guys think? Is this clock eating kids? Are the nuns weird or the clergy weird? I don't know. Leave your answer in the comments below.

Each year, nearly 2,000 main students drop out of high school. Recently, learning works held a graduation ceremony for 15 students in their Youth Building Alternatives program. Despite the hardships they have endured, these students have found the courage to overcome their past and now look forward to a brighter future. Tom was there to hear their stories. On a Friday morning in the Ryan's Auditorium of the Portland Library, people filled the seats, camera crews lined up in the back, and more seats had to be added in. Executive Director of Learning Works, Ethan Strimling, and Governor of the state of Maine, Paula Page, took their seats in front of the assembly. But they were not the main attraction. After some brief introductions, commencement music was heard and the 2012 graduates of Learning Works Youth Building Alternatives processed down the center aisle. Youth Building Alternatives is a nationally accredited educational program that works with young men and women who have dropped out of high school and provides them with classroom instruction passing the GED exams and job site skill training for future employment, as well as opportunities to give back to the community in the form of service learning projects and volunteer service. Dory Waxman, former Portland City Councilor, attends these graduations regularly and mentioned why it is so important to her. These kids have worked hard in the community. They've become part of the community and they know the importance of education and getting a job. Gene Wynod-Vickers, Director of Educational Excellence at Learning Works, commented on why this graduation is so important to these students. For many of these students, they've had multiple years of challenges, obstacles, and this is a place where they've actually finally achieved what they hoped they set out to do. The first to speak were two students. Rihanna Tuttle talked about individual responsibility as a key factor in bringing about positive change. From all these wonderful people in my life, I've learned that no one can change your life. You can only change if you have the desire to change. I've learned to love myself and I've learned that life is what you make of it and that your decision to make changes your life into a new direction. I've made some important choices in my life and I've learned from these choices and I know that all the graduates are the same. Shakira DiPietri talked about her teachers at Youth Building Alternatives and the impact they had on her success in the program. My teachers were always there whenever I needed them. They helped keep me motivated, stay positive, and most importantly, they helped me spread my education by helping me obtain my GED. I love my behavior because they understand where you're coming from and they'll help you as much as they can to get you where you're going in the future. Sonia Waterman, director of Youth Building Alternatives, read an anonymous essay of one of the students who referred to the great personal changes he went through in the program. Before YBA, I attacked everything with a bad attitude, a special school. I would skip school and do stupid, crazy things without even considering the backlash I could get. I never bit my tongue, which led to a lot of problems. I still speak my mind, but I've learned to control my memory. Back then, I would never have admitted that I brought a lot of problems on myself or in fact that I was irresponsible. I'm not trying to say I'm perfect but definitely not, but I can say I've improved myself, which is all that counts. I live by saying sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places and I think the past couple of years have been bad. Ethan Strimling praised the determination of the graduating students and how they've inspired him. 10% that said, no thank you. You don't get to let me fall through the cracks. You don't get to see me on the street anymore. You don't get to say I'm not going to get my education today because I'm going to get it and I'm going to step in and step up and have some of those wrong things happen that help you make some right choices. Students, I'll just say it's beyond inspirational what you mean to me. Governor LePage in his keynote address talked about his own experiences meaning challenges in his youth and the words that inspired him. If it is to be, it's up to me. But the one thing that stayed with me my whole life what I want to say about that is it doesn't mean that does not mean that you go through that life alone. That's just the opposite. It means you go intelligently and think it through. And in the essay, we all have our own little quirks that you just ask the person. Through crowd of tribulations and remembering it is to be, it's up to me, I succeed. You've already started a road to success. My urge you to be able to do that is important that you remember what we do. Remember that you can only succeed if you put yourself in a position to succeed.  Graduates were individually described by their accomplishments, handed their GED certificate and shook hands with the staff and teachers of the program. Ethan Strimling later commented on the resilience of this class. This is an incredibly resilient class. We see a lot of kids who they're in and out within six months and a lot of these kids have actually been here longer than a year. I'm here with it and stuck with it and that's really significant. Just to be able to see a kid say to themselves I'm not going to give up until I get across the finish line. This is Tom Handel for Community Update.


Nothing destroys the narcissist more than this. There are certain things that destroy the narcissist. When you question and confront them, when you discard them, when you go no contact, when you do these things, it will destroy the narcissist. It will ache them to the core. It will really get under their skin. But there is something that destroys the narcissist more than anything else. There is something which really is their worst nightmare. And that is when you move on to something else. That is when you find something better than them. While you were with the narcissist, they played the superior role. They acted as though they were the best thing since like spread. As though you couldn't do any better. As though there was nothing greater than them. They targeted your self-esteem. They made you feel like this was as much as you deserved. As though you weren't deserving of anything greater.   But the game was to make you believe that they had this whole other side of them. They had something that they were withholding from you. Because that was designed to keep you around. They gave you false promises. They used future faking to make you believe that they had something that no one else could offer you. If you would just be patient and hold on a little longer, that's how the game is played. But the reality is that there's actually another reason why you never got what you wanted from the narcissist. There's another reason why they only gave you the crumbs. And the reason for that is because they knew that even if they did invest everything they have into you, it would never amount to the image that they displayed to you. You wouldn't be satisfied. You would realize that it is an unfair exchange. And then you would move on to something else. But if they withhold it from you, it keeps you guessing because you can't really estimate the value of something until you possess it. They understand the power of this, which is why they practice it because they already know that if they were to reveal themselves as you did to them, you would get bored very quickly because the reality is that they don't have anything to offer, which is why they talented your self-esteem, which is why they try to make you feel like you're nothing because that's exactly how they feel. It's a projection on how they feel about themselves. But as a good person, you identified with it and tried to do better. When you were fine, you were doing okay. They can't be satisfied because they're not enough. Not because you're not doing enough of them, which is why there's nothing that destroys the narcissist more than when you move on to something better. When someone treats you better than they did because they know that you can be satisfied. They know that you can experience the emotions and fulfilment that they could never feel. This really is the narcissist's worst nightmare, to see you as someone who treats you better than they ever did, someone who serves you, someone who attends to you and gives you the proper attention, someone who discusses terms with you, someone who celebrates your success because that is everything the narcissist never was for you and it makes the narcissist experience regret. It reminds them of what they had failed to do for you, but it comes out as anger and frustration. They get envious and jealous of this new person. When the reality is that the narcissist had the chance to make amends, they had a chance to treat you right. But they refuse to do so because everything they presented to you was a facade. They didn't even have the tools or the resources to make out reality. If they did, they would have done it already. They will give you the crumbs as long as they feel that they can, but when they see that you're starting to pull away, that is when they will pull out all of the stops. They will do anything to the utmost of their power and that is when you will see their best effort. But most often it flies under the radar because they fed you this narrative of them being superior. They acted so arrogant and entitled so you assume that there must be more that they were withholding. When the reality is that everything you got from the narcissist was what they had to offer. Narcissists are grandiose. They extract supply from being impressive and opposing. So if they had anything else to offer, they would have revealed that to you a long time ago. It's like the Wizard of Oz. You were mesmerized by this massively large projected image of the narcissist, but once you no longer under their spell, they can no longer live up to that expectation because it was nothing more than an illusion. Everything you got was what they had to offer. They want you to believe that there's this whole other side of their personality, but there really isn't. It's nothing more than smoke and mirrors. They obscure and abolish the truth of the situation with misleading and irrelevant information to deceive and confuse you into thinking they're so much greater than they actually are. Which is why nothing destroys the narcissist more than when you move on to something else. When you find someone who treats you better than they did, someone who is real, someone who doesn't have to pretend because that is everything that the narcissist wanted to be. They wanted to be impressive. They wanted to evoke your admiration, but they could never be fully invested in you because then you would realize it's all a facade, which is one of the narcissist's greatest fears. They don't want you to come to the conclusion that in a world of 8 billion people, they're not as great as they have led you to believe, which is why they create these orchestrations, which is why they give you nothing but future faking and false promises because they want to keep you under their spell so that it reflects back to them that they are special and important when the reality is very different. But it's only when you realize your worth that you then come to this conclusion. When you move on and you find someone who treats you better than the narcissist, the narcissist isn't going to accept it. They will devalue the new person. They will say that they're just taking advantage of you or they will exaggerate their faults or flaws. But deep down they do feel intimidated.  Their belief is very powerful. If you believe in something, it has power over you, which is why your beliefs are so important to the narcissist. If they can get you to believe in something, they can then control you, which is why they target your self-esteem because your greatest defense against the narcissist is your belief in yourself. As long as they can make you doubt your own qualities and abilities, they can keep you under their spell, which is why when you finally leave the narcissist, you will feel as though you have been treated unfairly. You will experience resentment because then you realize just how valuable you were. You realize that they took advantage of you while making you believe that you were nothing, but if you want to get revenge on the narcissist, nothing destroys them more than this. Nothing destroys them more than seeing you receive the treatment that you truly deserve, and it can actually be very healing for you. Your healing is the narcissist's trauma. So anytime that you are bettering yourself and improving your life, trust and believe that it is affecting the narcissist. They can't stand to see you happy. They can't stand to see someone else treat you better than they did. And I'm not talking about superficial things. I'm talking about kindness and decency, dignity and respect, something you will never get from a narcissist. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you.

Thank you, Director Ray, for joining us and for your remarks in honor of this annual event. I'm John Chorchieri. I'm an Associate Dean for Research and Policy Engagement here at the Ford School, where I also direct our International Policy Center and Wiser Diplomacy Center. In preparation for today's event, we invited our whole community, students, staff, and faculty to engage over the past few weeks and to submit questions that they'd want to hear addressed on the issues that matter the most to them. We received dozens of thoughtful questions from many of you who are here in the audience today on a wide variety of topics, and we've crafted today's conversation around the key themes that were raised. I'll ask questions with three of my colleagues here in the front row who are experts in counterterrorism, cybersecurity and national security, immigration policy, science and technology policy, and more. But I'd like to start with a question that I know is on the minds of many members of our community, and that you referenced as we mourn the losses of still more innocent lives in mass shootings recently in Colorado, Virginia, and elsewhere. As a federal law enforcement agency, what are the most important ways in which the FBI is working to address gun violence in the United States? Well, certainly, you know, the shooting in Colorado Springs and in Chesapeake, Virginia, are heartbreaking, and I think even more than the toll of the, in some ways, the people who tragically were murdered in those situations, it's a direct assault on the feeling of safety that people in communities have, which is fundamentally what law enforcement is designed to try to help address. Obviously the, I say obviously, I assume most people know that the first line of defense for violent crime and active shooter situations is our state and local law enforcement partners who are fantastic, and they're the first line of defense, but the FBI plays a number of very important and kind of unique roles. You know, one, we have, we investigate any number of different types of violent crime. We have something like 300 task forces all over the country that are FBI led, but that have task force officers from state and local departments, and those task forces are arresting literally thousands of violent criminals, seizing thousands of guns from those violent criminals, dismantling hundreds of gangs and criminal enterprises, so there's that piece of it. We also have something called NICS, which is the place that does the, you've all heard about the background checks when somebody's buying a gun, the FBI owns the service that runs the background checks, and they process, you know, I think it's something like 40 million firearms purchases a year. The goal of those background checks being to identify those people who are prohibited by law from buying a gun, and there's probably, I think it's like 150,000 denials a year, so again, these are people who are typically who have felony records or something else like that who are legally barred from buying a gun, but tried to do it anyways, and that NICS, that service helps prevent that from happening, so we do that. We study the trends about active shooter situations and put out information about that. We recently put out our active shooter incident report for 2021, and the numbers are pretty, because along with your question are pretty stark. The number of active shooter incidents last year was higher than it's been, I think, in over 20 years. We do training, we do training both of state and local law enforcement on active shooter situations, but we also do outreach and training to things like schools, you know, houses of worship, community organizations, and things like that to help them protect themselves in an instance of an active shooter situation.  We have crisis negotiators, if it's a hostage situation, for example, and we have those victim services professionals that I was talking about before, and every one of these incidents that we're talking about, those folks are deploying to help, you know, whether it was Buffalo with the little grocery store up there where we had that awful shooting, all the way back to early in my tenure as API director in Las Vegas shooting was pretty early in my tenure, and that was, boy, that was a pretty eye-opening crime scene to be there for that. But again, all those folks are deploying to do the shooting reconstruction to help our law enforcement partners in that situation. Thank you for that, and I'll turn to a few of my colleagues to ask them questions.


Here with head coach Graham Miller. My name is Adam pole.  You fell behind early Which can take you out of your game. It did not you were able to push forward We're able to capture the lead in the second half, but then four minutes later saw that go away But you never you never took your foot off the gas Yeah, and that's the difference with this team this year, you know We've talked about it in previous interviews after games You know especially after the Wilkes one a few weeks ago where we were down one nothing and scored two late goals The character of this team is not to give up the character of this team is hey We're gonna you know, we can face adversity we can go down a goal But we're gonna keep going all the way to the end and the guys proved that tonight again That even though we you know had an early setback the guys are the guys kept going and even after they lost The quick goal after the second, you know, we kept going all the way to the end So I'm proud of the effort proud of the character of the boys tonight CJ Medtart has been a facilitator for you guys For the majority of the year he's a guy that wins the ball in the midfield find space for other teammates But today he was the star and he rings the crossbar early in the half gets another opportunity off of a corner and finishes And then is able to once again kind of take a misplay and finish Getting two of his three goals of the year just at an opportune time Well DR is just I mean he's he's the most passionate guy in the team He wants to he wants to win he's been on this program This is his third year now and he's experienced a lot of losses and you know for him that kid fights and You know both goals and even the the one off the crossbar just three terrific efforts from him And he wanted it and we need we need players like that when the forwards Maybe are not scoring goals. You need a midfielder to be like look. I gotta take charge He's a captain on the team. He scored, you know, there he is He comes through with two great goals still your forwards today that they showed a lot of speed didn't they? Yeah, they did and we've got you know, we've got some great wingers You know Tariq James Rosa, I don't know about his game management at the end going from one corner to the other corner That's a new that's a new one for game management, but but the fight from the you know the forwards to get into good openings I mean we created a lot of chances We had you know so many wingers today that went in and all of them had chances to score and that's great That's we want to see we're not just gonna score from one one player We're gonna get other players opportunities Lastly coach now you're two into your halfway through conference play But a win tonight was so important because three of your first four games in the conference We're at home and now three of your last four including then a fourth out of five Overall with a non-conference game are gonna be away from home Do you feel like your team is battle tested it for this long road stretch to finish? Yeah, we've got to now go in the road and try and pick up a result You know, that's what we needed to get the home wins You know, we're unlucky last week against Messiah and overtime, but we needed to pick up the home wins So our Katie and overtime and then this one another big one, you know Three two really close games. These are the games you got to win if you're gonna make the Mac playoffs We need to get four of them. We're at two right now And so we're gonna have to go on the road and get one of these wins And you know the guys have experienced a road win with a big one a maculata a few weeks ago So we know they can do it took like homing number 17 to the last 10 seconds of the game on Saturday We can play on the road and the guys have to show that on Saturday against Lev Val Well coach Miller congrats and enjoy it. I will don't worry about that. Thank you
