Place your egg yolk and half the sugar in a mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to beat the egg yolk and sugar together. Keep beating until everything is mixed evenly. Then, set this mixture aside for now. In a pot, mix your cream, half-and-half, remaining sugar, and salt. Place the pot over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture often. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium. Pour half a cup of your egg yolk mixture into the cream, half-and-half, and salt mixture. Add the egg yolk mixture gradually while whisking the half-and-half mixture constantly. Keep pouring and whisking until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Add another half a cup of the egg yolk mixture to the pot. Repeat the exact same process. Pour the mixture in gradually while whisking constantly to mix everything together. Use a heat proof spatula. Keeping the pot over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly. Cook the mixture until it begins to thicken. Times will vary depending on the precise heat of your stove. Once the mixture begins to coat the spatula, cook it for an additional one to two minutes before removing it from the heat. Get a clean bowl and a fine mesh sieve. Strain the mixture into the clean bowl through the sieve. Use a wire whisk and vigorously beat the ingredients together. Keep whisking everything together until it's mixed evenly. Fill a larger bowl with ice. Place the bowl with your ingredients into the ice bath. Use a wire whisk to stir the mixture occasionally. Keep the bowl in the ice bath until the mixture cools to room temperature. Take the bowl out of the ice bath. Cover it completely with plastic wrap. Freeze the bowl for at least two hours. However, it's best to freeze the bowl overnight. Make sure the bowl you're using is freezer safe. If it's not, transfer the mixture to a freezer safe bowl. When you're ready to serve the ice cream, use a spatula or wire whisk to vigorously churn the mixture. This will remove any ice chunks and get it to a creamy texture. Then, place it back in the freezer for 30 minutes and stir it again. Repeat this process until you have a light, fluffy texture.

Passive mobilization is similar to stretching. Passive mobilization of a hip joint involves gently stretching the affected hind leg backwards, away from the head. Passive mobilization uses gentle limb extensions with the aim of keeping muscles conditioned and joints mobile. The theory behind passive mobilization is that pain restricts the movement of the leg, but then the hip joint becomes stiff, and this leads to a further loss of movement, and the vicious cycle continues until the joint becomes chronically painful and stiff. You can use passive mobilization with the dog in a standing or lying down position. If both hips are sore it is better to have the dog lie down since he will be uncomfortable taking extra weight on the opposite hip when one leg is raised. Try placing a small pillow between your dog’s legs to make him even more comfortable. To use passive mobilization to stretch the left hip, lay the dog on his right side, with the left leg uppermost. For the right hip, lay the dog on his left side, with his right leg uppermost. This will likely be the position he's most comfortable in anyway. Laying on the opposite side takes the weight and pressure off the bad hip. Slide your left hand in front of the thigh halfway down the thigh bone, and cup the cranial muscles in your left palm. Apply gentle but firm pressure so as to push the thigh backwards so that the dog's paws moves backwards, too. Do not force the movement, and stop if the dog gets uncomfortable. You're not trying to improve his flexibility, you're trying to stretch the already taut, stiff muscle. Try to do this for two ten minute sessions a day.  This helps keep the joint supple and relieves pain. Mobilization is the action of passively extending a limb with the aim of keeping the muscle conditioned and the joint mobile. The theory behind mobilization is that pain restricts the movement of the leg, but then the hip joint becomes stiff, and this leads to a further loss of movement, and a downward cycle of under-use established.

One-sentence summary -- Consider using passive mobilization. Decide how to position your dog. Lay your dog on his good side. Begin pushing the thigh backwards. Hold this extended position for around 40 seconds and then release.


Each row should be roughly 1 ft (30.5 cm) wide. The rows containing your compost trench and plants should be separated by an empty middle row.  Using a 3-season rotation will keep garden soil nutrient rich even after many years of growing.  If you keep your garden in the same place every year, the plants will deplete the soil’s nutrients over time, making it harder to grow things. To ensure the entire row receives an equal amount of compost enrichment, dig a 1 ft (30.5 cm) deep trench that runs down its middle. A hoe works well for this purpose. Remember to keep an empty row between your compost row and the row containing plants during your first year of composting. Fill the trench evenly with compost material until it reaches 4 in (10 cm) high. When you reach that level, the trench is ready to be refilled with dirt. Water the refilled compost trench regularly to improve its decomposition. If you plan on adding more compost later, cover compost materials with soil and seal it with a board, as described in the “Maintaining a Filled Pit” method above. At the start of the new planting season, you’re going to move the rows containing your plants and trench. Dig your compost trench in the row the plants were last year, and shift the row with plants to the one left empty last year. At the start of the planting season in the third year, the trench-row will continue to chase after the plant-row (in a manner of speaking). The second-year plant-row becomes your new trench-row, and the empty row becomes your new plant-row. By continuing to rotate plant-rows and compost trench-rows in this fashion, you can keep your garden well supplied with nutrients so it can thrive.
