I have two Muscovy ducklings, they are 4 days old. I've been giving them flock starter mixed with water into a sort of mush. But they wont eat it. They are drinking water just fine, but they have been ignoring the food and I'm starting to get worried. They seem healthy otherwise. I've also tried a very lightly scrambled egg, some thawed and mushed frozen peas, and smashed banana, all have been ignored. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The egg sack gives nutrition until about 3 days old, that's why they can ship day-olds via the post office. They should start eating soon. Are they lethargic at all? Try tapping your finger on the food, imitating the mother duck. Perhaps they just need to be taught that it's okay to eat what you've put out. Try teaching them to eat. What is Flock Starter? Muscovies need a high protein diet, but too much can cause angel wing. Worms. Put wiggly, live earthworms or red crawlers in their dish often-it should get them hopping & chasing each other for them. If they don't I'd be very surprised & agree something is wrong. Brendasue |

EcoBoost: The Ford Motor Company's Rallying Cry
The 2010 Lincoln MKT is available with a normally aspirated, 3.7-liter V-6, but the real story here is the optional EcoBoost powertrain, which uses direct injection and twin turbocharging to transform Ford's 3.5-liter V-6 into a 355-hp powerhouse that effectively competes with a V-8 engine but with, Ford claims, the fuel economy of a V-6. It's mated to a new, six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with paddle shift.
We were allowed a few laps of Ford's high-speed, five-mile-long track at the Michigan Proving Ground. The EcoBoost V-6 provides plenty of power and torque to propel the 5000-lb MKT with poise, and it even sounds pretty good when you leg it, although of course it lacks the satisfying throatiness of a V-8. There's virtually no turbo lag, just a steady, linear stream of power. Peak torque arrives early, at only 1500 rpm, and the torque plateau continues well past 5000 rpm. Acceleration from 35 mph to 60 mph is immediate and rapid, and the MKT keeps on keeping on for the 60-to-100-mph sprint. We can't imagine anyone ever calling this vehicle underpowered. Although you can put the gear selector in M for manual mode and then use the paddles to shift, in our brief experience we didn't find them particularly easy or intuitive to use. And with all this power and torque just a tap of your toe away, why shift for yourself, anyway?
On the road
The MKT is pretty quiet inside but it suffers from some wind noise at the A-pillars (admittedly, it was very windy during our drive). Ride comfort is commendable, and the vehicle gracefully handled a variety of small, medium, and large bumps, dips, and other intentional road-surface imperfections built into Ford's durability test track, with no undue axle hop or lateral chassis movements. There's a decent amount of steering feel, although no one will mistake the MKT for a BMW X5, and while body roll is reasonably well-suppressed, the MKT suffers from a bit of fore-and-aft bobbing when you really push it on rough roads. Additionally, the brake pedal is too spongy for our tastes, an affliction the MKT shares with its MKS sibling.
A highly credible crossover
Not considering its powertrain, the MKT is itself an admirable effort from Lincoln: distinctively designed, opulently appointed, and brimming with the features that luxury buyers expect. Add in the new EcoBoost powertrain, and the MKT is even more attractive, as it boasts V-8-like power but should return V-6-style fuel economy, up to 22 mpg on the highway. These merits add a desirable new model to the Lincoln stable and should put the MKT on the shopping list of anyone looking for a luxury, seven-passenger crossover.

Call me old-fashioned. Call me the mother of three boys. Call me whatever you like!
I know mothers often write about feeling brain dead at the playground… but not me.
I love a good playground! My kids wear themselves out and I'm grateful. Sometimes I have a slide and a swing myself.
I've written about heaps of great playgrounds in Sydney (see my 50 Best Sydney Playgrounds post here), about the fab Speers Point playground in Newcastle too.
But it was in Dubbo that two playgrounds most recently knocked the socks of myself and my twin terrors.
Mr and Ms7 had such a ball at the playground at Dubbo' Western Plains Zoo that I felt it deserved a slideshow of its very own.
First slideshow on the blog too, wish me luck!
Hope this gives you a flavour of how good this playground is and what an asset to the Zoo. Delightfully, the playground is free for anyone at all to use, a boon for Dubbo families, I bet.
We had a great night staying at Billabong Camp at the Zoo, all info here.
Happy playing!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The sad thing in reading the (Raleigh) News & Observers important two-part series on the states Medicaid woes and the dysfunctional management of the Department of Health and Human Services is that the revelations no longer have the power to amaze. Problems beset DHHS and Medicaid long before Pat McCrory was elected governor nearly two years ago. But McCrory and the current legislature havent made things any better, and in one key way they seem to have made things worse.
McCrorys hiring of Aldona Wos as secretary of health and human services was a huge blunder, one that he refuses to rectify by letting her go. Wos has made a series of poor decisions that have resulted in a place even consultants the department hired to address its Medicaid troubles said lacks leadership and talent, an environment which fosters poor results and execution. The atmosphere under Wos has sent many veteran staffers fleeing, often replaced with political hires or acquaintances who lacked pertinent experience.
DHHS chief financial officer Rod Davis said in November that the Medicaid office does not have adequate staff with the necessary experience and skills to properly manage the program.
Feedback from staffersis damning: Leadership is non-communicative, secretive.
The incompetence and poor management of Wos and others was publicly showcased in May. Part of the governors budget included a plan to manage Medicaid costs that relied on an illegal taxation maneuver that would funnel $60 million in federal dollars to the state a gimmick the feds had rejected in Pennsylvania.
Frank Thompson, a Medicaid expert at Rutgers University, told the N&O he was shocked that such a proposal made it into the budget. He called it government by amateurs.
As troubling, the consultant DHHS hired under a no-bid contract to reach $3.25 million yearly, Alvarez & Marsal, came up with that budget gimmick. The consultants were also involved in a $200 million mistake in projecting the Medicaid budget deficit.
This is a dismaying backdrop to the legislatures budget wrangle over a Medicaid plan that is both cost efficient and provides good patient outcomes. McCrory and House leaders offer a sound proposal thats backed by health leaders. It builds on an existing nonprofit network of care but makes providers responsible for overruns. The Senate is pushing a managed care system that has had troubles or failed elsewhere.
McCrory is headed in the right direction with his proposed Medicaid changes. He needs to get on the right path in fixing the department, DHHS, that oversees it. He needs to fire Wos and recruit and keep experienced and talented staff. He also needs to end the practice of no-bid contracts that Wos has made a staple of DHHS and has led to wasted dollars on incompetent hires.

The continuing appeal of various forms of realism is remarkable when you consider that its would-be replacements, abstraction and conceptual art, have been around for a hundred years already. And the depiction of representational imagery shows no sign of becoming passé. Just look at Christoph Heinrich's Embrace! now at the Denver Art Museum. It consists of work by a group of credibly contemporary artists from around the world, several of whom are working with recognizable subjects.
But don't be misled. Not all of today's realist art is contemporary; in fact, most of it exists in the parallel universe of traditional art. The traditional artists, many of whom are quite successful, do updated takes on the old-timey styles of realism, impressionism and expressionism. Where things get really interesting, however, is with the short list of artists who have one foot in each of these realms. They function as contemporary artists while simultaneously playing the role of traditional ones.
Among the most obvious Colorado examples of this aesthetic bipolarism is Joellyn Duesberry, whose signature landscapes play well in both categories, being at once contemporary and traditional. This is amply demonstrated in Joellyn Duesberry: Landscape Survey, at Gallery 1261, an in-depth look at twenty years' worth of those paintings.
Joellyn Duesberry: Landscape Survey
Through February 27, at Gallery 1261, 1261 Delaware Street, 303-571-1261, www.gallery1261.com.
Jeff Aeling, Rick Dula and Jeanette Pasin Sloan
Through February 20, at the William Havu Gallery, 1040 Cherokee Street, 303-893-2360, www.williamhavugallery.com.
Duesberry, who has a master's degree from the Institute of Fine Art at New York University, has been exhibiting since the 1980s. Despite doing vaguely traditional work, she earned her contemporary chops as a student of the late Richard Diebenkorn at the Santa Fe Institute. Diebenkorn created both abstract-expressionist pieces as well as abstracted representational work of the sort that Duesberry does, and it's not hard to see how well she absorbed her teacher's lessons. And although the scenes she captures aren't limited to the Western states, a Western sensibility seems to inform almost all of them.
One of these, "Entry Into Roxborough Park, Colorado," could be used as an exemplar of her style. This painting, which towers over the front space of the gallery — a traditionalist outpost, by the way — clearly illustrates Duesberry's signature taste for dramatic rendering; she obviously did it very quickly, and parts of the foreground have been sketched in with little more than scribbles. Then there's the character of her palette, in this case the one she needed to accurately convey the color of the scene. But in a Duesberry landscape, the colors only refer to nature and aren't completely naturalistic, being either more dusty or more bold, depending on where she places the tones in the picture.
Gallery 1261's Landscape Survey is a large outing for Duesberry, and if you're a fan of the landscape tradition, you really should see it.
Interestingly enough, there's another show just a few blocks away that also highlights an artist who paints landscapes that could be seen as either traditional or contemporary. Jeff Aeling is dedicated to the work of this Kansas City-based artist, who spent — and spends — time in Colorado. The exhibit is in the main space of the William Havu Gallery, a local landmark in the contemporary art scene as opposed to Gallery 1261's traditionalist bent.
Despite their similarities, Aeling's approach is quite different from Duesberry's. He's interested in conveying a meticulously detailed scene that's utterly realistic without being photographic in character. Instead of looking like photographs, these paintings are painterly and have been done in an updated version of heroic nineteenth-century realism.
Aeling's format is exaggerated in its horizontality to match up with the basic shape of his preferred subject in these paintings, the sprawling Great Plains under the open skies. In fact, it could be argued that it's the skies more than the plains that are the actual topics of these paintings. Using the atmospheric effects of the clouds across that long picture plane, Aeling lends the scenes a kind of cinematic feeling — which is why I kept thinking about the movie Giant while I was going through the show. And those wide black frames! They're perfect for stepping up the Wild West character of the paintings.
It's the new West — or would that be the aging new West? — that interests the artist featured in the self-titled Rick Dula, in the salon under the mezzanine at Havu. Dula is surely this season's hottest realist, being one of just three Colorado artists who made it into Embrace! His mural, "A Moment in Time: Here," has been a hit, as evidenced by the positive visitor comments coming in to the museum. Here's the question on everyone's lips: Has this buzz moved Heinrich to negotiate with Havu for the purchase of the piece so that it can become a permanent part of the Hamilton's interior? There's no official word yet, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it's already a done deal.
Dula is a photorealist, which means he also exists in both the traditional and contemporary camps of representational painting, but as that Embrace! inclusion shows, he's more clearly on the contemporary side of the dividing line. The Dula show at Havu is fairly modest and made up of smallish, easel-sized paintings. Some feature depictions of the Northwest coast, while others are set closer to home, including "A Moment in Time: Here" which depicts, like the DAM mural with the same title, a portion of the Hamilton building under construction.

He was born in Ottoman ruled Crete in 1864. During his childhood years his family fled to Greece in consequence of his father's involvement in the Cretan insurrection of 1886. Following his graduation from the Law Faculty of Athens University he worked as a lawyer in Chania but soon he entered politics as a member of the liberal party of the island.
His political and leadership qualities were revealed during the revolutioin of 1897. During the period of Cretan State (1898-1912) Venizelos was actively involved in the drafting of the Cretan Constitution. He quallered with the High Commissioner Prince George on account of his liberal principles, he resorted to an armed rising at Therisso (1905) and secured the replacement of Prince George by the Greek politician Alexandros Zaimis. During his subsequent efforts for the unification of Crete with Greece Venizelos kept a skillful balance between daring and moderation.
In 1910 he put an end to his role as a politician in Crete and moved to mainland Greece, where he became Prime Minister and founded the "Liberal Party". He was the moving spirit in the political and economic progress of Greece and in the victorious outcome of the Balkan Wars (1912-13). During World War I he clashed with the Crown and, at the expense of the National Schism (1915-1917) he imposed his pro-Entente policy. Greece was rewarded for her contribution to the war by being given the High Commissionership of Smyrna (1919). In the vital elections of November 1920 Venizelos was defeated and he withdrew from politics to return after the Asia Minor disaster of 1922. With two of his radical initiatives (1923) - the mandatory exchange of Greek and Turkish populations and the Treaty of Lausanne which defined the boundaries between Greece and Turkey - he changed the orientation of Greek policy and laid the foundations for peaceful development.
His last term of office as Prime Minister (1928-1932) was a period of stability and creativity. His major achievement was the signature of the pact of friendship between Greek and Turkey (1930). The end of his career was marked by the attempt against his life (June 1933) and the failed venizelist coup of March 1935. He went into self-exile in Paris where he died on the 18th March 1936.
His roots and his family
Eleftherios Venizelos was born in 1864 in Mournies, a small flower-bedecked village outside Chania in Crete.
This was two years before the Great Cretan Insurrection and the holocaust at Arkadi in the years 1866-69 and, as Nikos Kazanzakis writes, "by being born a Cretan at a decisive moment when Crete was struggling to be free, he sensed from his early childhood that there is something in the world more precious than life and sweeter than happiness - freedom".
His family instilled in him the spirit and significance of Cretan family tradition. Eleftherios was brought up with the wisdom of his learned merchant father Kyriakos and was nurtured with the milk of his Therisso mother Styliani Ploumidaki. And, of course, Crete herself formed him with her history and struggles, her constant eruptive activity and patriotism, her energy and circumspection.
It was the Chania plain and Souda harbour, Malaxa, Chrisopigi, Mournies where he saw the first light of day, the Church of Saint Eleftherios where he was baptised Eleftherios...
It was the high snow-covered White Mountains, the heroic village of Therisso, the root from which his mother sprang and the place of his first rebellion....
And it was the town of Chania, the place of his life, the town rebuilt by the Venetians on the ruins of ancient Kydonia, where the Genoans and the Byzantines left their mark and which was later laid waste by the Germans...
It was, however, also the monasteries and the churches with their faded old icons which recall the glory of Cretan painting. And also the humble building of the Greek Primary School which Eleftherios attended as a small boy.
And it was the Old Town within the Venetian walls, Topana where his father's house was located and where he spent his childhood years and dreamt his youthful dreams. There is where he got to know his first wife Maria, where he spent the years of his marriage and where the tragic death of his wife was to leave its indelible mark on him... Up in "Kastelli", the administrative centre and location of the Courts, where he first worked as a lawyer and attorney... And then his house in the "distant suburb" of Chalepa without even a "carriage road" to connect it to Chania...
It was a time when, although Cretan civilisation remained wounded through the evils provoked by the occupying power, Erotokritos and the mountain songs were ever on the lips of the Cretans and the Orthodox tradition was flourishing.
The women of Crete continued to give birth, to observe their folk traditions, to weave on their looms and decorate their houses and to suckle their children on the spirit and significance of good housekeeping and honesty, just as did the Therisso mother of Venizelos.
His father had his roots in Mistra by Sparta. One of his forebears had moved to the island of Kythera and the father of Kyriakos came to Chania. Three of Kyriakos' brothers had been sacrificed in the revolution of 1821. Perhaps a Spartan forebear with memories of Mistra and the last of the Palaiologans lived within him.
And perhaps it is to this comixture that he owed the "Dorian manner, the unbending will but also the ingenuity of the temperament of the young man".
Young Venizelos experienced in his daily life the weight of the Turkish occupation and the dire Ottoman oppression. He experienced also the psychology of his revolutionary compatriots.
Tomadakis asserts that, "had he been born in any other area of the free Kingdom of Greece, he would not have understood either the Turks or the European supporters of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire in the way in which he understood them under the shadow of the Cretan mountains and in the small diplomatic arena of Chalepa...".
From Mournies to Chalepa
Eleftherios was the fifth child of his family. He had three older sisters, Maria, Eleni and Ekaterini, an older brother, Agathoklis, and a younger sister Evanthia. During the revolution in 1866 the family was obliged to abandon the house in Mournies and move to the island of Syros. They returned to Chania about 1872 when the revolutionaries were accorded an amnesty. His father Kyriakos was a merchant. He had a glass-ware shop within the walls of the old town at what is today number 7 Halidon Street. Since living in Mournies outside the walls of the town during the period of Turkish rule created difficulties, he also had a house in Topana near to his shop in the same street, at number 56 Halidon Street.
Later Kyriakos Venizelos acquired the piece of land and house in the "distant suburb" of Chalepa without even a "carriage road" to connect it to Chania. In Chalepa the climate was better. This, after all was the preferred suburb for the most distimguished among the "citizens of the capital". Chalepa, too, was the area where the General Consulates of the Great Powers were concentrated which were later to constitute the "great diplomatic school which educated Eleftherios Venizelos".
In 1876 Kyriakos bought a piece of land (approximately 2200 square metres) in Chalepa and in 1877 began to build his house. The construction of the house was completed about 1880 and the family then took up permanent residence there in what is today the well-known villa of the Venizelos family. The house in Chalepa was from the beginning built as a two-story villa. It had ancillary areas on the ground floor and the large reception room on the upper floor where today there are the south-facing bedrooms. Access to the upper floor was via an internal wooden staircase, just as today, but there was also an outside entrance to the upper floor which was approached directly from the garden via a double stone-built stairway. The large garden surrounding the house and the vineyard were planted at that time. And later this garden with its paved pathways, its flowers, its roses, the fruit trees, the vineyard and the olive trees, which the father did not live to enjoy, was the great love of his son who took personal scholastic care for it even from his exile. The whole piece of land was protected by a high wooded fence.
Eleftherios' father Kyriakos did not live long in the house. He did not enjoy it. He died in 1883 in Mournies where he, too, had seen the first light of day.
As a young boy, Eleftherios had taken the first steps of his elementary education in Syros up until 1872 or 1873. From the time his family returned to Chania, however, he attended the Greek School of Chania at Maidani in Chalepa, next to the church of St. Nicholas, and it was from here that he received his school certificate in 1874. Thereafter he attended Secondary School for two years (1877-79) at the Antoniadi School in Athens as a boarding pupil, and he spent his final year of secondary education at a school in Ermoupolis in Syros from which he received his Leaving Certificate in 1880.In 1881 he enrolled at the Law School of Athens University.
He stayed with a group of Cretan students in Harilaou Trikoupi Street, then known as Pinakoton Street and the following year he moved to a house in Omirou Street where he stayed for approximately five years, that is, for the entire duration of his studies, up until January 1887.
At the time of his father's death he interrupted his studies and came back to his father's glass-ware shop to work and support his family financially. He returned to Athens in 1885, however, determined to take his degree. And two years later in 1887 he came to Chania as a qualified lawyer.
The Cretan Years
Venizelos began to work in Chania in 1887. He lived in the Chalepa house along with his family for which he had assumed responsibility. He worked as a lawyer and journalist and in 1889 he was for the first time elected a Member of Parliament. At the same time he became co-editor of the local newspaper "White Mountains" (Lefka Ori) for which he also wrote.
In December 1891 he married his adored Maria Katelouzou, daughter of Eleftherios Katelouzos. The marriage took place in the mansion of the Katelouzou family in Topana - at what is today number 68 Theotokopoulou Street. The newly-weds lived in the upper floor of the Chalepa house, while Venizelos' mother and his brother and sisters lived on the ground floor.
It was there that they dreamt their youthful dreams and enjoyed the happy moments of their marriage, and there, also, that their two children were born, Kyriakos in 1892 and Sofoklis in 1894. Their married life, however, was short and marked by misfortune. Maria died of post partural fever in November 1894 after the birth of their second child, Sophocles. Her death left a deep mark on Venizelos and the sign of his mourning, his charateristic beard and moustache, remained with him for the rest of his life.
To this tragic misfortune which left his children orphans and suddenly extinguished his romantic dreams of a life with his beloved Maria is attributed the frequent deep sighs and melancholy of this giant of a man. His soul was engulfed with profound grief and pain. Day by day he was to be found sitting on a stool with a book in his hand next to Maria's grave in the cemetery by the church of Saint Foteini. This state continued for more than a year to the extent that everyone started to worry about his health. When he became aware of the danger threatening him, however, he reacted with resolution.
His obligations towards his family and the pressing needs of the struggle for the freedom of his country distracted him somewhat from his anguish and forced him to re-enter the fray with greater determination, but without ever taking from him that deep sigh and tragic grievance which would often escape from his lips: "Oh, my God! ...Why?"
He quickly became the major protagonist and moving spirit in all the historical landmarks of the Cretan history of his time and in the Independent Cretan State. He fought on all fronts, as a revolutionary, as a lawyer, as a politician, as a diplomat and as a journalist. He played a leading role in the Akrotiri Revolution of 1897, in the establishment of the Cretan State in 1899 and in the Therisso Rebellion of 1905. He is educated continually in the "Great School of Crete"! "Crete", as N. Tomadakis affirms, "was the great school, the great diplomatic school, the great dress rehearsal... Souda Bay and the Akrotiri... constituted the general rehearsal for the handling of the national questions (1910-1920)".
In the period from 1887 until the eve of the Therisso Rebellion of 1905 he worked as a lawyer and journalist. He had his law office in the centre of the Old Town, in what is today Kanevaro Street, opposite the house of his lawyer friend Athanasios Bloum, and from the year 1901 he published his newspaper "Herald" (Kirix) from offices in present-day Halidon Street.
He would go back and forwards from Chalepa to Chania and to the Courts in a vis-a-vis, using the time he was sitting in the carriage to study foreign languages. This knowledge of languages was to be essential in his dealings with the representatives of the Great Powers.
Family Tragedies
At the same time as he was involved in the numerous important political events of the period, he was also facing many serious family problems. The atmosphere in the house in Chalepa was heavy. The shadow of tragic death hung everywhere. Following the death of his father and his wife, he lost his mother Styliani and his "unfortunate" brother Agathoklis. Both died from a flu epidemic on the island of Milos where they had taken refuge during the Cretan Revolution of 1897. Venizelos had sent his children, his mother and his brother and sisters there and asked the husband of his sister Eleni, Andreas Nostrakis, who came from Milos, "to undertake the task of looking after his family as a personal loan to him".
The tragic state of his family, for which he was now the sole provider, forced him to consider leaving the house in Chalepa. Moreover, he was further burdened by serious financial problems which led him to take the decision to leave the house in Chalepa so that it could be rented. With the income from the rent he could gradually pay off the debts he had accumulated, particularly the mortgage of 2,000 score francs which he taken out on the family house in order to cover the costs of the Therisso Revolution. Otherwise he would lose the house.
Thus in 1906 he is forced to leave Chalepa. He rented at Topana half of a three-storey building at the corner of the two streets Moschon and Theofanous and this he used as a dwelling house and political office. He moved books and furniture and lived there.
Evanthia, his younger sister took over the task of looking after the house, while his two children stayed as boarding pupils at the "Korai" Lyceum in Heraklion. He was to stay in this house until 1910. At the same time he opened his new law office at 52 Eisodion Street.
Eleftherios Venizelos lived in Chania for 46 years up to 1910. In Chania he grew up, fell in love and mourned loss. He was taught the value of freedom. "The fact that he realised his own and our dreams is something he owes to that element in the Cretan character where theory becomes practice".
In 1910 the whole of Crete dispatched him to Athens to assume responsibility for the fate of the nation. This man with his brilliant personality and bright darting eyes, with "his delicate features and his bitter-sweet enigmatic smile", became master of the political life of the country. He lived with triumphs and successes, tempests and divisions up until 1920 when, following his defeat in the elections in November of that year, he left for Paris in a self-imposed exile.
In September 1921, twenty seven years after the death of his first wife Maria, he married in Highgate in London an exceedingly wealthy woman called Elena Skylitsi and settled down in Paris in a flat at 22 rue Beanjon. He was to live there until 1927 when he returned to Chania and renovated his beloved house in Chalepa. In 1928 politics won him once again. In 1930 he acquired a house in Athens at the corner of the streets Loukianou and Vasilissis Sofias. Today it provides the residence for the British Ambassador.
In 1935 the March 1st Movement finds him in Chania and from Chania he leaves once again into self-imposed exile in Paris. A year later, in 1936, on the 18th March, in the flat at 22 rue Beanjon, the "light of the Great man went out". The destroyer "Admiral Koundouriotis" brought him directly from Brindisi to Chania without even making a stop at Athens.
The earth which received him was the Akrotiri, where it "guards him as an exceptional combination of action and contemplation, of Cretan vitality and courage, of Odyssean artfulness and Greek intelligence".

Could some of the lack of sales in PCs been as a result of Windows 8?
On the consumer side, perhaps. For retail stores, that could be part of it. The press around Windows 8, shall we say, was not perfect and the experience is confusing. There is no question about it.
I don't see that as an issue in the enterprise. Our experience is the enterprise and medium businesses and even small businesses, they are probably going to go Windows 7. We don't see a big demand for Windows 8 in business.
So my view is this XP upgrade cycle is all going to go to Windows 7, very little of it is going to go to Windows 8.

Sarah's Top Matches
Immediate Family
About Sarah Sessions (Crossley)
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=21679695 Birth: Jan. 29, 1843 Lancashire, England Death: Jan. 24, 1906 Bountiful Davis County Utah, USA
A member of the Martin Handcart Company
Daughter of James Crossley and Mary Jarvis
Married - Perrigrine Sessions, 2 Mar 1861, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Children - Male Sessions, Mary Elvira Sessions, William Westley Sessions, Phoebe Olive Sessions, Mary Sessions, Joseph Sessions, James Crossley Sessions, Hannah Ann Sessions, Hannah L. Sessions, Daughter Sessions, Lillis Cordelia Sessions, Wallace Orlanda Sessions
History - In a little town of Radcliff, Manchester, England lived a family by the name of Crossley. They belonged belonged to the Methodist Church until the Gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints came to them in the year of 1851. Many of the elders came to their home and stayed with them. Among them came Elder Sessions, President of the Manchester Mission. Sarah was fond of him and would creep near to listen to his every word. Sometimes he would take the children on his lap and tell them of his home and wonderful experiences in his work in the church.
He often urged Sarah's father to go to America and unite with the Saints in the Rocky Mountains. This time her father did, leaving Mother and the children to follow as soon as he could make a home for them. After two years the way came to them. They bade farewell sailing from Liverpool early in the spring of 1856.
Elder Levi Savage had traveled the Plains before, and tried to discourage the group when they got to Florence Nebraska telling them that it was too late to make this trip. Many of the carts gave out and had to wait for repair and they had to double their loads as some had to be discarded and left. It was hard work.
September came and the first frost was upon them. Out in the open with few clothes and little shelter, then they began their real suffering. But they tried to be brave and not complain more than necessary to each other. The Crossley children felt they should help their Mother all they could.
A terrible disease crept into their little fold and death became a frequent visitor to their little train. They were obliged to leave their loved ones in the graves that marred the path of this little struggling band.
Lower and lower the rations became and no food or help in sight. Many were dying each day. Men and women who started strong and well were dropping out. Each morning they would dig a grave and bury the dead before they could leave camp. Each morning the Crossley's gave brother Joseph their clothing to keep him warm. His suffering was over one morning as they found him frozen in his bed. They left him by the side of the road. There were five deaths that night and the ground was so frozen that they could not dig a grave. They wrapped him in a large blanket and left him by the side of the trail; before they had got out of sight, they heard the wolves had reached it. This was a terrible trial for Sarah's mother to bear, but she did not complain to the Lord and did not lose faith in him.
They had not reached Sweet Water River and the provisions were gone. They found a small ravine since named Martin's Ravine. Here they made or camp in a clump of willows that grew close together. In the morning to add to their suffering a heavy snow had fallen upon them. They were lost, starving, and buried in two feet of snow. Three days they lived through this and then at the sunset from over the rim of the ravine came a covered wagon with men breaking a road for the horses. Such cries of joy were never heard before.
They started on with new hope and courage. As they came to South Pass, the weather moderated and they did not suffer so much. On the thirteenth day of November, they arrived in Salt Lake City, what was left of them. There was five hundred and eighty-four members in the company in Iowa City, and one hundred and forty-six of this little band were left along the plains and in the mountains to tell the tale of their experience.
They were met by their dear Father and many of their friends. In fact most of the city came to look upon the suffering of this company. They gave them aid by taking them into their homes to nurse them back to life-from the very jaws of death through which they had passed.
Sarah visited with her Father for several days then Elder Sessions came and begged to be permitted to take one of them to care for. As Sarah felt very near to him for his kindness to them while on his mission in England. Sarah was allowed to go and live with her sister.
Sarah lived most of the time with Mr. Session's family and at the age of eighteen she was married to him. Sarah went to live with his other wives in a large house until some years later Ester, his youngest wife and Sarah lived together in a log house of six rooms. Here Sarah had her family of eleven children and Ester had ten. They loved each other dearer than sister. For seventeen years they lived together in perfect happiness. Then they were given a nice new home of their own, but they parted with many regrets and they always remained the dearest of companions.
Sarah was a widow at the age of fifty with my family in comfortable circumstances and loving companionship of all the other wives. There were six wives at this time and they had always been a great blessing to each other.
Sarah was always faithful, sweet and gentle. She lived to the age of sixty three and when winter came which she dreaded, she was laid to rest in the Bountiful Cemetery. She rests beside her husband and several children who have gone before.

That is what your index needs to say 3 index 0 1 and 2 are used. When you create an array with one element you do not say int Array[0] you say int Array[1] and you use only used index 0. So if you have x y and z then your Array needs to be defined as int Array[3] not int Array[2]. Look at your code in your bspface you have float vNormal[2];
vNormal supposed to have xyz which means vNormal needs to be [3] not [2]

Dichotomies of Rights and Development
As an applied anthropologist working in Ethiopia, I have found that it is very difficult to sort out the real and the ideal, the fact and the legend. What I do know is that the nation and its people are understood better if certain dichotomies are critically evaluated.
The plight of recent Ethiopian refugees, Ethiopians abused during the Red Terror of the 1970s, and Ethiopian ethnic groups generally, can partially be understood by "imagining Ethiopia" (to quote John Sorenson's 1993 book of the same title). Ethiopia is extraordinarily complex, and what appears on the surface is not necessarily what exists below. Through centuries, exaggerations have become history and legends have become facts. Yet actual achievements in East African history have been monumental.
Ethiopia's recent history exhibits both cohesion and fracturing. From the late 19th to the early 21st century, a combination of ethnic, economic, ecologic, and political forces have worked—often simultaneously—to bind the nation together and pull it apart. Ethiopia's boundaries and constituent regions have varied accordingly. A strong man of one sort or another has been in charge throughout this 150-year period, and in fact, is expected to be by the citizens.Ecological and environmental challenges, compounded by severe famines, have wrought havoc on a landscape which usually provides adequately for the resource needs of one of Africa's most densely populated countries. Forced migrations have been mirrored by voluntary migrations of former refugees back to the homeland. Parliamentary actions intended to open Ethiopia to entrepreneurial activity by all ethnic and tribal groups have been mirrored by behind-the-scenes maneuvers intended to favor Tigrayans from the north. Oppressive military muscle flexing has been mirrored by the flexing of expansive business muscle.
The late Meles Zenawi's tenure as prime minister was marked by improved relations with the West, economic productivity, health and social services, and educational programming. He ensured that the country remained highly visible internationally, and that the African Union headquarters would remain in the capital of Addis Ababa. China provided some $50 million for the African Union's new headquarters building, marking a different sort of dichotomy, as the West and East are played off each other. Some citizens I interviewed in June 2013, said simply that China's infrastructure-oriented development approach—from professional buildings to metro lines to railroads to highways—is superior to that of the US humanitarian-oriented approach.
In my opinion, the strongest development surge in Ethiopia has been in education. Since 2000, 11 new university campuses have been initiated nationwide. This is both a strength and a weakness, because the availability of human capital cannot keep up. There are not yet enough quality instructors and administrators to staff these campuses, particularly in engineering and the applied sciences. In turn, there are not yet enough qualified graduates to keep up with the burgeoning transportation and building demands. That university development has not been mirrored by educational development benefiting (eg) disabled students, especially at the secondary school level, is a real concern.
Oromo–Tigrayan Tensions
Understanding Ethiopia through a number of dichotomies also plays out in the tensions between Oromo and Tigrayan peoples. The Oromo—the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia —comprises some 35% of the population. The Tigrayan—the ethnic group to which Meles Zenawi belonged—comprises about 6% of the population. Yet the latter have recently dominated politics and military office, and—as Oromo have told me—have done so at their expense.
I visited Oromiya (the Oromo region of Ethiopia) in June 2013. Spanning the central portion of the country, the landscape consists of vast savannahs, grazing lands, farmlands, and lakes that have formed as part of the Great Rift Valley geologic system. National parks are prominent. Southern Oromiya features forested hills and low mountains. Chinese-instituted enterprises are seen alongside Ethiopian-instituted enterprises, and near the town of Dukem is the Eastern Industrial Zone. Near Oromiya's center, ironically, is the Rastafarian capital of Shasemene. Agricultural, floral horticultural, and livestock activities are extensive throughout the region.
Oromo people are generating a number of economic opportunities, but consistent employment is tenuous for most non-agriculturalists. Politically, there are few national-level political opportunities. Some perceive themselves to be marginalized. Some perceive the adoration given the late Meles Zenawi to be exaggerated and misdirected. A number of Tigrayans referred to him as a hero; no Oromo person I asked made this assertion. In the years prior to his death, he exerted tighter autocratic control over the country.
One of my graduate students at the University of Denver has been researching issues associated with Ethiopians' integration and acculturation to the US. In recently contacting a center that specializes in Oromo integration, she found that using the term Ethiopian for Oromo people caused the center's responsiveness to her research request to plummet. She should have said Oromo or Oromo nation. This is an indicator of the tension that exists among Tigrayan and Omoro peoples, even those who have emigrated; Tigrayans in the US are seen to be disproportionately favored as well.
Some Oromo are viewed by some politically-connected Tigrayans as members of a disparaged, and potentially dangerous, majority group. The Oromo are represented by the Oromo National Congress (ONC), the country's main opposition group. That a majority of Tigrayans are Christian and a majority of Oromo are Muslims is a secondary, but nonetheless informing, factor. That the Oromo population has been growing at a rate greater than that of other ethnic groups also is a contributing factor.
Human Rights and Development
Through informal interviews I conducted in northern and central Ethiopia, in 2010 and 2013, I found that human rights usually are equated with improved development. In southern Oromiya, at the University of Hawassa, a well-regarded professor informed me that "human rights are much better now," but by that she meant that "development initiatives are much better now." She stressed that contemporary Ethiopians, including Oromo, talk about "three eras": The Haile Selassie era, the Mengistu Haile Mariam era, and the Meles Zenawi era, and concur that the last was best. "More development, indicated by improved water supplies, has reached more people. But, there still is torture," the professor said. Particularly troubling—as well as confusing to many everyday citizens—are land rights. Federal jurisdictional status over land causes many to believe themselves to be landless or land-alienated. Citizens understand themselves to be leasing their own land from the government. Ethiopia's policy of ethnic federalism indirectly contributes to this, as do tensions among the nine ethnically based and semi-autonomous regions. Some former refugees I recently interviewed stated that these inter-ethnic tensions are worsening; at the extreme, one said, "another Rwanda is on the horizon."
Overt police brutality has diminished considerably in recent years. More police officers are coming from police academies rather than from the ranks of the army. They therefore are better trained. Nonetheless, the payment of bribes is common. People told me that they feel more secure, but also noted that certain "criminals" are tailed by security agents. When questioned, they told me that a "criminal" could be an opposition party member. The wafach ("birds") still watch, hidden among the crowds.
Another dichotomy is seen with freedom of speech. It is widely touted as having improved during Meles Zenawi's reign, and indeed it did. The press provides a good deal of balanced coverage of issues, especially those involving development and international relations. Everyday citizens speak out on a wide variety of topics, including problems of employment and problems associated with mega-projects such as the Hidase and Gibe III dams. Yet criticism of the government is suppressed. Criticism of the late Meles Zenawi still can lead to severe penalties. There is not yet a truly free opposition in the country.
The symbolic power of Meles Zenawi as a "rights (read: development) leader" remains. My interviews with Tigrayans indicate that in death he has become bigger than life. Posters featuring him are found throughout Tigray Province, and, throughout Addis Ababa. No such visibility is afforded leaders of the Oromo National Congress, by comparison. Yet I would add that Tigrayans are among the country's most vital people, are vibrant intellectual and religious leaders, and are those I've worked with most closely.
The Alemu Worku Case
The recent legal case of Kefelegn Alemu Worku, an Ethiopian immigrant living under false pretenses in Colorado for years, reminds us that human rights abuses are not forgotten and that the prosecution of torturers is essential. He lied on immigration forms about his status and about his involvement in the torture and murder of people imprisoned at Addis Ababa's so-called Higher 15 prison during Mengistu's Red Terror in the mid-1970s. On May 23, 2014, he was sentenced in US federal court to serve 22 years in federal prison. One of the witnesses against him, a man who had been imprisoned in Higher 15 for 19 months, recently told me: "I saw him every day in that prison. I can never forget his face. I heard the screams of those he was torturing." The US Department of Justice's Human Rights and Special Prosecutions (HRSP) Section has been effectively assisting with this and other cases; I have helped HRSP with their outreach efforts in the Denver area and also am providing the community with information about HRSP's work.
The Denver Post on July 26, 2013, featured a quote of mine, one which I strongly reaffirm here: "[Ethiopians] are industrious persons with a very rich history of hard work and making the most with modest resources." The challenge will be turning this type of effort—and turning certain imaginings and dichotomies—into processes that confirm human rights as more than just development.
Peter Van Arsdale is director of African Initiatives at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. Semi-retired, he continues work as an adjunct professor and community activist on human rights and humanitarian projects.

Last summer I purchased a bay laurier bush and repotted it. at the end of the summer I brought it indoors and it seemed to do fine.
Sometime over the winter it got brown scale and I didn't notice till about a week ago (after I brought it outdoors). I've washed the plant, wiped every leaf and the stem and removed the vast majority of the scale. I'm scared I missed a small section and it will take over again. I've seen some sites say to dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and then wipe the leaves/stems. I'm scared of poisoning the plant by doing this. Has anyone tried it? I don't want to use any harsh chemicals, as I'll be using the leaves for cooking once it gets really growing. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Alcohol will not harm plants such as bay, jade, cactus and such. I know because I've used it to clean off scale as well as mealy bugs on houseplants. Just be sure not to soak the plant in it and do not rub too hard or you might damage the plant. Alcohol leaves no residue as it evaporates quickly and completely. So it's probably safe to use the leaves in cooking. |

The old captain of the Piranas' ship is not much talked about. It has to be said his only legacy are the old wreck Wheeler and Amiral Coco, the parrot. And that damned bird thinks he actually is the old captain, barking out orders ending in ÔÇťParasitesÔÇŁ, ÔÇťIconoclastsÔÇŁ or ÔÇťFreshwater SwabsÔÇŁ. And more than once the boat has sailed out to sea with Bloodh left stirring a cocktail on the beach. In fact, the only reason he hasnÔÇÖt yet been added to the shipÔÇÖs stewing pot is out of respect for a sacred law from the code of pirates, but believe you me, not everyoneÔÇÖs very happy about it!
