General information
Many sick birds can be treated by their owners at home. While some birds are gravely ill and require hospitalization, most birds can recover with proper treatment and care at home. This handout will provide you with some tips to help your bird's recovery.
Give all medications as directed
In order for your bird to have a good chance of recovery, you must administer the medication as directed. Many owners are unable to properly administer medication to their pets. Still, others stop treatment before the medication is finished, thinking the bird has recovered just because he is "doing better". If you do not give the medication as directed, your bird may not recover and may actually relapse, necessitating a more prolonged second round of therapy. If you are uncomfortable administering medication to your bird, please inform clinic staff.
Keep the bird warm and free from drafts
Most pets recover faster when kept at the upper end of their normal environmental temperature,
75 – 80° F (22 – 25° C). Increased body temperature stimulates appetite, improves digestion, and stimulates the body's defenses to fight infections.
Supply normal amounts of light and darkness
Unless otherwise directed, most birds become accustomed to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness each day. Leaving the light on 24 hours a day will probably add to your bird's stress during recovery.
Make sure the bird eats and drinks
Sick pets burn off calories and dehydrate easily. This makes the disease even more serious and protracted. If your bird is not eating and drinking as he should, notify your veterinarian immediately.
Avoid stress
Sick birds are already under excessive stress. While it's tempting to want to play with your bird, minimal handling is best while the bird is recuperating. Avoid sudden diet and environmental changes while your bird is ill.
Separate sick birds
A bird that is ill should be isolated from other pets. This is also not the time to bring a new pet into the household.
Notify your personal physician if you become ill
While not often the case, some bird diseases can be transmitted to owners. Your veterinarian should tell you if your bird has become ill with one of these diseases. If so, notify your physician in case he recommends the need for you to take medication as well.
Notify your veterinarian if the bird's condition worsens
If treatment is not going as expected, your veterinarian needs to know this. No one can guarantee a cure. Your veterinarian may need to change medication or even hospitalize your bird if his condition deteriorates.

An information technology minister in India confirmed that Apple will indeed begin manufacturing iPhones in India soon, in what will be the company's next major step in world domination.
We've been following the news for some time and heard all these rumors up until last month. Now, we have a set date for the arrangement, which should be by the end of April according to Priyank Kharge, the same Indian minister.
SEE ALSO: Apple and Samsung rivalry isn't the biggest story anymore
While it seems like a conventional move for Apple to increase its workforce and provide more jobs in a developing nation, the real implications for creating "Make in India" iPhones is to allow the Cupertino brand to begin setting up official retail stores in the country.
Because of a rule requiring companies to have at least 30 percent of their products produced in India before establishing physical outlets, Apple had no choice but to comply in order to set foot in one of the world's largest markets.
Now that the legalities are out of the way and factories by Taiwan's Wistron Corporation will be placed in India's tech capital of Bangalore, Apple's next issue to resolve is how to sell expensive iPhones in a market that heavily favors entry-level handsets.
SEE ALSO: Apple iPhone isn't top-selling phone in China anymore
Apple would have to compete against Samsung's affordable Galaxy J series phones, local leader Micromax, and a diverse Lenovo-Motorola lineup. But if Apple's popularity in China is anything to go by — it's near the top together with OPPO, Vivo, and Huawei — consumers will buy iPhones for the name alone.
Still, a lot of work has to be done. Apple managed to ship 2.5 million iPhones in India last year, but that only accounted for two percent of total shipments, and barely let the brand into the top-10 smartphone manufacturers ranking in the country.
The American company hasn't provided its own official statement yet, but we're all ears for what CEO Tim Cook has to say.

These acorn place cards measure 3 1/2″ wide and 2″ high when folded. Digitally printed with a rustic, Autumn hued vintage acorn illustration, with guest names and table numbers.
I love this look for a classic wedding where the scenery surrounding the festivities is just as stunning as the party inside (or maybe the party is outside too- bonus!).
Classic monotone imaging combined with modern fonts and text, all in a deep shade of brown .
Acorn place cards sold in sets of ten. Printed on speckle tone natural white card stock in chocolate brown.
Please allow a minimum of two weeks for production.
Extras will be sent blank. For example, you order 3 sets for a total of 30 place cards but send me 28 names. The two extras will have no name or table info. These blanks can be a lifesaver for last minute changes or to label items on desert or drink tables, guest book or gift tables, etc. It's never a bad idea to have a few extras. Leftovers after the big day? These would also be a diplomatic way to keep your Thanksgiving table harmonious- place political adversaries on opposite ends of the table without saying a word (and letting everyone else feast in peace).
After placing your order, please send your guest list in a Word Document ( names exactly as you want them to appear,separated by table ) to me via email.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly…here .

San Fran to Ban Public Nudity? Not So Fast...
Is the city of San Francisco going all Puritan on us?
City lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places, a blanket ban that represents an escalation of a two-year tiff between a devoted group of men who strut their stuff through the city's famously gay Castro District and the supervisor who represents the area.
Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would make it illegal for a person over the age of 5 to "expose his or her genitals, perineum or anal region on any public street, sidewalk, street median, parklet or plaza" or while using public transit.
Oh my -- that sounds almost...civilized. But what's the penalty for violating the law?
A first offense would carry a maximum penalty of a $100 fine, but prosecutors would have authority to charge a third violation as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine and a year in jail.
Well, I suppose you can't send someone to the penitentiary for dropping trou in Golden Gate Park. Still, this represents a significant step forward for the forces of propriety and prudence. And we should all congratulate the city for their courageous stand against the hedonists and exhibitionists who...
What's that? What "exemptions"?
Exemptions would be made for participants at permitted street fairs and parades, such as the city's annual gay pride event and the Folsom Street Fair, which celebrates sadomasochism and other sexual subcultures.
They're absolutely right. A San Francisco gay pride parade without naked men waving their wicks in the wind would be like the 4th of July without the hammer and sickle, or a Veterans Day without a burning American flag.
And what about the defenders of the status quo au naturel?
The proposed ban predictably has produced outrage, as well as a lawsuit. Last week, about two dozen people disrobed in front of City Hall and marched around the block to the amusement of gawking tourists and high school students on a field trip.
Stripped down to his sunglasses and hiking boots, McCray Winpsett, 37, said he understands the disgust of residents who would prefer not to see the body modifications and sex enhancement devices sported by some of the Castro nudists. But he thinks Wiener's prohibition goes too far in undermining a tradition "that keeps San Francisco weird."
"A few lewd exhibitionists are really ruining it for the rest of us," he said. "It's my time to come out now to present myself in a light and show what true nudity is all about so people can separate the difference between what a nudist is and an exhibitionist is."
Trust me, Mr. Winpsett. Getting rid of public nudity won't make a dent in preventing San Francisco from staying weird. There's plenty more where that came from. We haven't even begun to deal with the women yet.
And, of course, civilization would come to a halt if we couldn't tell the difference between nudists and exhibitionists. It's a question that needs to be stripped, um, bare of all extraneous issues until the matter is boiled down to its naked essence.
Sorry -- couldn't resist.
Is this the beginning of the end for San Francisco's Culture of the Dangling Penis? Probably not. But as long as these weirdos are willing to stay in San Francisco and leave the rest of us alone, most of us couldn't care less where they hang their maleness.

Maui is home to some of the world's most famous watermen. Many windsurf champions live right here in the neighborhood! There are only a few vacation rental homes in Spreckelsville available and we are proud to be one of them! Spreckelsville is truly paradise.
Maui Plantation Home by the Beach is tucked away in a quiet and peaceful paradise! The nearby secluded beaches and surf town make this location unbeatable for families and watermen! The home is charming and inviting and perfect for your visit to Maui, Hawaii!
Property was better than pics showed. Everything about the place was awesome. Hosts were so sweet and accommodating. Loved this place. Ideal for families. Close to everything. We did not want to leave
While searching for a house on Maui for our family vacation - I was originally looking towards Lahaina or Kihei but I am so glad I stumbled upon this gorgeous house! The layout was perfect with plenty of private space as well as great gathering areas for our group of 9.
We were met by our host and he was gracious and very helpful. We were fortunate that our host shared with us that the turtles were coming up to the beach closest to us at sunrise and we strolled to the beach - a 2 minute walk - every morning to see them.
The home is away from the more touristy areas but minutes from the cute town of Paia and with easy access to Haleakala and Hana.
This is the house and the location we would come back to every time while in Maui!
We fell in love with the property! Our host and hostess were absolutely fabulous! They will remain friends for life! It was our first visit to Maui and we are already thinking about a time when we can return!
Absolutely fabulous 7 day stay at the Maui Plantation home. We were a group of 4 adults and two children (ages 5 and 3). Everything was perfect - the layout of bedrooms around the common pool courtyard, the privacy, the proximity to two beautiful beaches, the pool, the kitchen/dining area, the comfy living area. We hope to go back soon. Daniel was a pleasure to chat with and full of great ideas. Pa'ia is a lovely local surfer town.
Daniel was very helpful upon our arrival and we appreciated his recommendations regarding beaches, runs and places to go in Paia. From the house you can easily walk to Baby Beach to swim or just to beach comb and see turtles, but it's also an easy drive to the beaches on the west coast of the island. The house was an ideal set up for our 2 family group. Mahalo Daniel!
This was the perfect place to stay with our children and grandchildren. The bedrooms and main living area makes an "L" shape and everything opens to a beautiful patio area and swimming pool. Daniel takes excellent care of the property with daily maintenance. He is also available to answer any questions you might have about the area.
We were able to walk to Paia which is much easier than driving. The walk to Paia is probably about a mile or so, but you walk along the beach and get to the main road through Baldwin Park. Overall it is a very easy, beautiful walk.
And Baby Beach is a one minute walk where we were all able to swim and enjoy the turtles coming onto the beach to rest.
Without a doubt, we would all love to make a return visit to the Plantation Beach Home and of course to see Daniel again.

- Hi all,
I know others have done it here, but I just wanted to provide a link to Uttpal's blog of the 3100 mile race.
It is so rich and full, and tremendously inspiring. I read it every morning with my morning coffee before work and it helps to get me in the right consciousness for the day.
You get to see the incredible progress and transcendence of these intrepid runners, and also get a real feeling of being there. Whether it's a recording of Vinaya playing harmonica, or the Enthusiasm singers, or pictures of the counters, and even people from the neighborhood, one can't help but feel that they are sitting right there at the counting table cheering the runners on.
So check out the blog and help send some good will and divine energy to our brother and sister runners!

Peter from Trappe,pa writes,
Is the Premier Pro Tri-poxy Steel Sprayer (#1280) ok for diesel fuel?
Diesel fuel should not be placed in the Premier Pro Tri-poxy Steel Sprayer (#1280). It is recommended that you use Fertilizers, Fungicides, Herbicides, Pesticides in this sprayer. We do not recommend that you use gasoline or ethanol in any sprayer because of their flash points. We did speak to the manufacturers of the two lines of sprayers we carry and both said that while they cannot truly recommend a sprayer for your needs because of liability issues, some professionals do use the Chapin 3.5 Gallon Concrete Sprayer 1949 to spray diesel fuel.

KAMLOOPS - Police are holding back on details of last Friday's shooting scare in Sahali, but confirm it has the similar makings of another fake call from 2014.
Around 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 19, several Kamloops RCMP officers arrived at McKinley Court in Upper Sahali after receiving a report from a man who said he shot someone and was heavily armed.
Officers, including a K9 unit, combed through the neighbourhood, and the response was eventually called off once Mounties determined the call was false.
"The investigation is ongoing and all efforts will be made to determine the origin of the call," Cpl. Cheryl Bush, a spokesperson for Kamloops RCMP, says.
Bush notes the call was very similar to another false report in September 2014. In that instance, the male caller said he shot someone in one of the strata's condos and would shoot any responding officer. The call triggered a similar response and police also evacuated nearby units.
Charges have not been laid in either case.

Regrets . . . Bertie has just the one
LISTENING to Bertie Ahern listing his main regret as the fact that we had not built a national stadium despite his best efforts was a revelation.
No regrets about the lack of facilities for CF sufferers. No regrets about the increased levels of homelessness.
No regrets about the non-delivery of mental health facilities, the plight of patients on trolleys and waiting lists, the number of desperate people unable to pay mortgages or the scandal of thousands of children being taught in dilapidated pre-fabs and condemned buildings.

I have to rince and scrape or brush off food on plates before i put them in....its really annoying and im wondering is it cos its 10 yrs old...?? I dont remembering having to do this when i got it first..
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
Sorry only getting back now ours is the only a cheap tricity bendix but we have never had an ounce of trouble with it and it washes really well.
i have the same problem, i am washing everything before i put them in... personally i think its nothing to do with the age of the diswasher as mine is only 2 years old... the previous dishwasher i had was brilliant... and everything came out spotless without even rinsing... i HATE my dishwasher... its a k..wood
Ours is nearly 11 years old and our plates aren't coming out clean either. I switched to lidl brand tablets a year ago and they had been working well but I think it's just old age now.
Tks for replies . What make is yours Rita? I alwa...ys use economy setting so maybe i will try hotter wash
Ours is 8 years old and I have never rinsed or scraped the plates and they come out perfect. Do you clean the filter? How long has it been like this?

He also cropped out logos on the bottom of the graphic.
The Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Championship Sunday night, ending Cleveland's 52-year drought of professional sports victories. But there's one thing the team had stolen from them: New Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III ripped off a Cavaliers graphic while trying to congratulate the team and claimed it as his own.
Griffin is one of the latest editions to the Browns, a team that appears to be especially cursed, even for Cleveland. In an attempt to embrace his new city, he tweeted out his congratulations to the Cavaliers Monday morning. He (or whoever runs his social media accounts) grabbed a graphic being widely shared online and posted it.
At first glance, you might not notice anything off about it. But in the bottom left corner of the photo is a message of copyright: "© 2016 Robert Griffin III." And in an even bigger social media faux pas, Griffin's tweet cropped out the logos in the original poster, one featuring the Cavaliers's logo and Twitter handle and the other "All In 216."
The Cavaliers's post arrived online Sunday night, right after the team officially won the Championship.
A few hours after posting it, Joe Caione, a web designer for the Cavaliers, called Griffin out for cropping out the logos and putting his name on it.
Some of Griffin's fans took to ribbing on him for stealing a Cavaliers graphic and trying to claim copyright on it, but they quickly surmised that it might've been done through a service like WhoSay, which allows celebrities to claim copyright on the photos they post online. Griffin does have a WhoSay account with the Cavaliers graphic being the most recent post—and it turns out that he has a history of posting photos to WhoSay that will put his copyright claim on it.
Griffin has yet to respond to the criticism, but if he does, chances are he might try to blame it on the intern again.

When it comes to children using medical cannabis, the media and conservatives come out in a huge panic. For some reason they don't understand that there are more ways to consume cannabis than smoking it. Below is an example of a parent using cannabis to treat symptoms of autism. What do TWB readers think? Is this a bad thing, good thing, or are you indifferent?
About Author
7 Comments
Thanks for useful posting. It really helped me a lot.
I am a nonsmoker who doesn't like anything about the way i feel high. That being said, if smoking or eating it helped one of my children i would not only approve of it, i would encourage it. Nothing else is working and they have just as much right to a good life as the rest of us. Good for the moms who have the courage to do what they think is right by their kids and good for the rest of you who smoke just because you like it.
Pain management with cannabis requires the right dosage. Using marijuana edibles is the right way to maintain pain reduction. This book has great recipes for edible marijuana that are easy, small and cheap to make: MARIJUANA – Guide to Buying, Growing, Harvesting, and Making Medical Marijuana Oil and Delicious Candies to Treat Pain and Ailments by Mary Bendis, Second Edition. Only 2.99. Learn to make marijuana oil, delicious Cannabis Chocolates, and tasty Dragon Teeth Mints.
As a mother of a teen with a mild case of autism but just in general saying, Yes! It's a natural plant and only carcinogenic if Smoken. It's about time. All the Good, True, more importantly Working medicines are of Plant origin, Nature, nature Nature! It's a hell of a lot better than Any Man-made sedative. I do not myself consume marijuana, but hey, put that it in an electronic cigarette, think the world would be a much happier place! #Iwouldtryit
It's a young science, but they should definitely explore it!
why not, if it works?
The point that stands out most to me about this is that there are so many areas that still require more open research. It sounded to me like the mother was taking a very cautious approach, not willing to give too much and in a relatively safe manner in the form of an edible confection. I wish them the best of luck and hope that the results exceed all expectation.

This last link shared regarding Dade county's health rankings made me think of a recent conversation I had with regards to the new healthcare reform.
I spoke with an underwriter of Vista Health Insurance, John Cantillo. He felt that the bill was positive because a lot more people will have access to healthcare, but he says it doesn't take into account all the costs related with compliance. According to him, the new bill will not solve all the administrative costs, which he foresees will only get worse once 2014 arrives.
He also brought up two other interesting points. The bill doesn't address the lack of integration in the medical field between hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies. He feels that the monopolies that hospitals are allowed to have, only add to the increase of medical costs. There should be more competition and according to him they should operate under more transparency. Another interesting point he brought up deals with the uninsured (according to this link in Miami Dade 30% of adults are uninsured). Cantillo feels that unfortunately, a lot of the uninsured, because of their undocumented status will not benefit from the reform.

Moving out of your parent's home can be rather trying and there are challenges to face when doing so. Loading up your van with the tidbits that you have gathered over the years can be hard. There are necessary items that you will need if you intend to make it work at your own place. Moving in with a friend is sometimes easier especially if they already have most of the household items necessary to run a household successfully. If you don't even have a glass to drink out of or a dining table to eat at you might want to take a list at this must-have list.
Just one of those things everyone needs and wants. Getting out of bed every time you want to switch off the light is too much effort and you might end up with a painful bumped toe. Get a nightstand that is big enough to hold all your necessities like an alarm clock, a glass of water, lamp and perhaps any of your technical items that you need like your phone and laptop.
This is probably the most important item that you need for your new independent life. A mattress on the floor won't give you the good night's sleep that is necessary for a happy and healthy lifestyle. Invest in a good bed with memory foam or high quality springs to make sure you get the rest you need. Read more about the importance of a good bed.
Your clothes can't stay bundled up in a suitcase and shouldn't lay scattered all over the floor. Purchase a wardrobe with sufficient packing and hanging place. If it is a bit out your price range make use of some hanging shelves. While you are at it you might as well add another important item which is a laundry basket.
Spoil your parents by making sure everything is in order when you move out. Take a look at End of lease cleaning Melbourne for fantastic cleaning services that are a phone call away. These people specialize in end of bond or lease cleaning and will do a great job which will definitely make your parent's day and show them the appreciation that they deserve. They offer some of the cheapest cleaning services available on the net.
More necessities to add to your new home that will make your life easier include a mirror and a coffee table. Your new apartment might have a small mirror in the bathroom which isn't good enough to check your outfit every day. Purchase a standing mirror and a coffee table to have something for all your odds and ends like keys and the book that you are busy reading.
This doesn't mean you have to have a huge table and chairs. Invest in a small dinette set that will be perfect for your new home-cooked meals. Click here for some interesting beginner recipes.

What About "Support the Spooks"?
July 23rd, 2003 | Published in Uncategorized
I'm not of a mind to debate the Yellowcakegate issue much if only
because I thought even the neocon war cheerleaders had already slid
into "it wasn't ever really about weapons of mass destruction,
it was about FREEDOM" equivocating months ago. If the collective
memory hole has enough room to fit the displacement of "facts" and
rhetoric that change in tack requires, then God help us all and
please, by all means, get back to your shopping.
A sidenote story from that affair, though, is threatening to
get my dander up. As documented by Comments are closed.

Panda Cub Sees First Snow
December 11, 2011 by staff
Panda Cub Sees First Snow, There was snow at the San Diego Zoo on Thursday morning. Animal care staff arranged a winter wonderland for two of its pandas, Bai Yun and her two-year-old son, Yun Zi. This is the first time that the young panda had ever seen snow. He came out of his bedroom, tested the snow to see if he could walk on it, and then made his way from one corner of the exhibit to the other.
Zoo horticulture staff constructed a 5-foot holiday tree from two types of bamboo – oldhamii and vivax – that was shaped to resemble a pine tree. They used a large block of ice for the tree stand but it was no match for Yun Zi. He approached the tree, swiftly knocked it over and nibbled the slices of fruit and vegetables that were hung as ornaments.
Yun Zi then climbed up the icy tree stumps in his exhibit and napped above the winter wonderland. His mother, Bai Yun, stuck to her usual habits and sat in the middle of her exhibit munching on her morning bamboo, seeming oblivious to the snow around her.
Guests who are unable to visit the Zoo can still see the pandas live – and now in high definition at – www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam. The Zoo just completed an upgrade to its Panda Cam, allowing online visitors to watch the black-and-white beauties more clearly. The four new high-definition cameras provide viewers with several vantage points in the exhibit as well as activity in the den. The Zoo has more than 200,000 online visitors to its Panda Cam each month.
The special snow day comes just days before the Zoo starts its 3rd annual Jungle Bells celebration. Starting Saturday through January 1, 2012, families can put a wild-animal twist on familiar holiday traditions during the Zoo's 2011 Jungle Bells celebration. The Zoo will stay open until 8 p.m. each night except Dec. 24 – when it will close at 5 p.m. – and guests can expect a flurry of whimsical d?©cor and holiday-themed activities including performances by the acrobatic Jumpin', Jammin' Elves and musical trio, Angels with Strings.
The festivities start nightly with a tree-lighting ceremony at the Zoo's living conservation tree. The entrance to the Zoo is filled with the melodic sounds of an English hand bell choir and throughout the evening there are numerous opportunities to meet wintery animals up close. Jungle Bells is free with paid admission to the San Diego Zoo. Most activities occur in late afternoon and early evening.

North Carolina Hotel Reservations
Visiting the North Carolina Coast
North Carolina's stunning coastline will yield an unmatched array of things to see, places to visit, and events and festivals to check out. During the fall, winter, and into the spring, the cities and towns along the NC coast are inviting and full of fun. Plan your visit to NC's coast soon and prepare for unrivaled entertainment.
The NC coast stretches from Elizabeth City, just along the NC-VA border, to as far south as Wilmington, a short drive from the NC-SC border – with a host of must-see attractions and seaside pit stops along the way. In Wilmington you can explore the historic Battleship North Carolina, and when you cruise through Kill Devil Hills, you must check out the Wright Brothers National Monument.
An autumn stay in Wilmington this October should yield fun-filled days for all members of the group. Visit from October 21st to 23rd and experience the annual Wilmington Fall Festival. Held at the Hubb's Farm, this fall celebration will be awash in a "Pirates Playground" theme with maze trails, a petting zoo, huge barrel slides, and even a haunted trail.
One of Wilmington's premier fall events is all about film. Check out the 22nd Annual Cucalorus Film Festival from November 9th to 13th. Screenings, panel discussions, and more events will be held at venues across downtown Wilmington – more than 200 films are set to be screened at this year's event.
Plan your visit to the NC coast for early 2017 and kick off the new year with classic tunes. Head for Thalian Hall in Wilmington on January 28th and see David Cassidy live in concert. This Partridge Family legend will perform two shows – 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
A classic tale of good versus evil, and true love, Rodger's & Hammerstein's Cinderella will be performed live in Wilmington. From February 28th to March 1st, this classic stage play will be performed at the Wilson Center with nightly shows at 7:30 p.m. And just a few weeks later, the same Wilson Center will host the world-famous production "Stomp!" On March 22nd this garbage pile-themed music and dance performance hits the stage at 7:30 p.m.

Safari in Botswana
Botswana Travel Blog› entry 3 of 3 › view all entries
Squatting in the darkness over an earthen hole at the heart of the Okavango Delta in
"He even took the gramophone on safari. Three rifles, supplies for a month, and Mozart," says the character of Karen Blixen in Out of Africa. The word 'safari' conjures up many a vision - from Robert Redford, as Denys Finch Hatton, and Meryl Streep, as Karen Blixen, sitting outside their tents in the Kenyan wilderness at a table laid with champagne, as Mozart plays on the gramophone - to well, the significantly less romantic vision of yourself squatting over an earthen hole waiting for your ass to get poached by a lion. A safari is an overland journey, traditionally for a big-game hunt and in more modern times, a bush holiday to watching wildlife. Associated with adventure, khaki clothing, big guns, and animal skins, the word safari entered the English language in the late 19th century and comes from the Swahili language meaning 'journey' or 'to travel'.
The long history of the safari trip into the wilds of Africa gives 'going on safari' pilgrimage status for visitors to the continent, if for no other reason then to show your return the obligatory wildlife photos �" the modern equivalent to 19th century leopard skins, ivory tusks and toothy heads. Safaris are considered so necessary that it's difficult to get out of going on at least one, regardless of the hefty price tag. Legends are not cheap. The question I ask, is, are safaris over-rated? There is this pressure on the travelers to Africa, because of people's cinematic expectations from movies such as The Lion King, Out of Africa, and Ghost and the Darkness that if you haven't seen a lion and a herd of elephants, than you haven't really 'experienced
Seven friends - 2 Canadians, 3 Americans, 1 South African and 1 Irishwomen, planned a 10 day trip through
From Chobe, we drive down to the Makgadikgadi Pans. We are bundled in jackets and hats, cocooned in our sleeping bags against the cold and wind of the open-air truck. We are not going to reach the camp before dark, so Johnno drives into a slightly wooded, wilderness area to set up camp. The initial lack of group support for this plan is palpable, but before long Dan and Johnno have built a fire, the tents are pitched and various people are chopping vegetables and marinating slabs of meat for dinner. Mairin has thrown on her Ipod with its little travel speakers and is dancing around the fire with a beer. Unimpressed with the music breaking the natural silence, Johnno is an old-school safari guy. He is a sport hunter accustomed to leading big game hunting expeditions. He skins elephants. She takes the hint and turns it off.
In the middle of the night, Mairin, Dana, and I peel out of our tent to 'use the facilities.' It's cold tonight and all three of us have been wriggling for hours trying to avoid the eventual exodus from the sleeping bag. In the distance, we hear what we assume is the yowling of hyenas. Quickly back in the tent, we catch a few more hours rest before being awoke at the crack of dawn by a loud Australian. Nursing our fire-boiled coffees over breakfast, Natalie announces, "Girls, did you hear the lions last night, when you were out having your pee?" Johnno and Natalie had not bothered to pitch tents and slept outside on the ground. These safari people are deaf to complaints of the discomforts of sleeping in a tent. The calls of lions had kept them both awake and sitting in an upright position for most of the night. Lions do not roar in the night, but instead prowl around communicating with each other in low, repetitive grunts. We want safety tips. Natalie explains, "Animals do not see in 3D, so if you are in your tent, you are safe. They see the tent as one solid object, like a rock. It doesn't matter if they can smell you in there. But if you leave your tent at night, you are fair game. They will see you move. They will be interested." This explanation does little to ease our fears. It also comes as a surprise that Johnno does not carry a gun. The paper work as a result of firing on an animal is so lengthy that it is common practice not to carry weapons on safari. Even if an animal attacks and you kill it in self-defence there is a chance you can be charged. PETA, it seems, has done wonders for the safety of humans on safari. Finch Hatton wouldn't go anywhere without his gun. What a let down!
"The Lion King has a lot to answer for," growls Johnno. If you want to start Johonno on a rant, refer to a lion as a 'Simba,' a meerkat as a 'Timon' and a warthog as a 'Pumbaa.' Apparently, many safari-goers perceive themselves as experts on African wild-life, flora and fauna for having seen the movie. Johnno is constantly put to the task of de-bunking a history of Lion King mis-education. We drive through the thick sandy tracks in the Makgadikgadi Pans for several hours. Still no lions yet. We are apparently not taking their threat seriously enough when we exit the vehicle to stretch our legs. "In this tall grass, you would be dead before you even saw it," admonishes Johnno. He checks behind every bush before allowing us to go anywhere. "Last year an experienced guide stopped for a pee and never came back. They eventually recovered what was left of his body," he says menacingly.
Described as "the river which never finds the sea", the
We load our tents and enough supplies for the next three days into narrow, wood makoros �" a type of canoe dug out of a tree trunk and used to propel through the shallow waters of the delta by standing in the stern and pushing with a pole, in the same manner as punting. Makoro safaris are an ideal way for visitors to see the delta, but are still a practical means of transport for residents to traverse the swamp. Deep water occurs in only a few channels. With two passengers per boat and a poler at the stern, the makoros cut quietly through the vast areas of giant reedy grass dominating the swamp and often covered only by a few inches of water. Sitting low, the water is within inches of the edge of the makoro, and we sit in its bottom like a coffin with our sleeping bags, bedding and clothes made waterproof in black, plastic garbage bags. I am trying not to think about our vulnerability to hippo attacks. Hippos are reputed to have developed this behavior after the use of makoros for hunting. I am also trying not to think about the insurance waiver I signed at the start of this trip. Sorry mom. Belts of forest fringe the swamps with open savannah grasslands and tall trees lending shade to herds of larger game. But from the bottom of the boat, all the eye can see is a massive field of swamp grass. After two hours, the initial excitement of hippos and flipping the tippy makoro has worn off and I am lulled almost to sleep by the sound of the grasses brushing the boat and the intermittent sound of the poles spearing the water �" a gondola in canals of grass. Pulling up to an island by mid-afternoon, we unpack the boats and set up our tents under the shade of some large trees. A hole is dug with a shovel 'for facilities' not far from the camp behind some bushes. The beer and wine are chucked in the swamp to chill. The five local polers set up camp with us and stay for our three days in the isolation of the delta.
After a large lunch and a nap, we assemble to be taken on a walking safari with Disaster and G, who are both polers and guides. With a name like 'Disaster,' we are too afraid to ask how he got the name. He isn't the smiling type. We follow Disaster in single file with G at the rear as we leave the camp. Before going further, Disaster briefs us on safety. "If an elephant charges, run away as fast as you can in a zigzag pattern," he says sternly. "If you are chased by a wildebeest, run straight as fast as you can, get behind a tree, and then climb the tree." "If you see a leopard in a tree and it sees you looking at it, it will jump on you." At this point, Mairin and I cannot contain our giggles, imagining ourselves doing the zigzag run to evade elephants, then running away from wildebeests, climbing up a tree only to encounter a leopard. Disaster looks on grimly as we begin enthusiastically practicing our zigzag runs. Continuing on, our path is blocked by three elephants. The closer we get to them, the more irritated they appear and we are forced to quietly retreat. After a half hour of waiting, the guides slap chucks of wood together, until annoyed by the noise, the elephants move off and we continue. Walking along, I am struck by the massive chucks of dried elephant dung �" each size of a soccer ball. At last I have come upon a fitting gift for my ex-boyfriend: he has since been recipient of a parcel with two large chunks of elephant dung and a note, "Dave, thinking of you in
Our days consist of animal watching, drinking delta water and cooking extravagant meals over the fire - from French toast and maple syrup to meaty stews to kudu steaks and roasted gem squash and potatoes in tin-foil. Leah is usually arguing with Aaron about something like who is to blame for using up the Ipod batteries. Dan is a decent bush chef, although Aaron thinks he is better. I argue that I am in fact the best. An Italian American, Aaron is constantly whining that as a chef and a Stanford graduate, he cannot properly cook over an open fire �" the temperatures are all wrong, the knives aren't good enough and he is lacking fresh basil and the olive oil is not extra virgin enough.
In the evenings the campfire functions as the local pub, the place to drink, tell stories, socialize and stay warm. A freelance safari guide for over 6 years, Natalie entertains us with her stories. On our last night in the delta, we brew 10 litres of box wine into sangria and Natalie surprises us with a bag of Malawi grass as a farewell present since she will not be accompanying us on the reminder of the trip into the Central Kalahari. Recently she returned from a 7 month trip from
Next stop is the
The sickness has set in. This is to be expected, even Karen Blixon got sick, but that was from an STI from her cheating husband, not the wilds of
On the first game drive of the morning, Dana and Mairin stay back at the camp lying on cushions and wrapped in blankets outside the sick tent. After driving for less than half an hour, we see them: lying in the shade of a copse of trees are two male lions. Driving the truck as unobtrusively as possible, we arrive within 7 metres of them. They stare at us in the truck, mildly curious, but after several minutes, they flop back down on the ground to sleep. They don't move, except to occasionally twitch a fly off their backs as we sit watching them expectantly for twenty minutes. We evidently are not that exciting. The temptation is to jump out of the vehicle and go poke them. Johnno looks at me warningly. He skins elephants. Nevermind. So there you have it. The point of all of this and Dana and Mairin missed it.
"Sssshhhhhhh. What was THAT?"Leah squeaks. The two of us decided to sleep on the roof of the truck for our last night in the Kalahari. It's far more tempting an option then sleeping in the sick tent. I didn't count on Leah's American paranoia keeping me up all night as she lies next to me with sharp whispers every few minutes of "Did you hear that, what was that?" Leah is the kind of girl that should never been allowed to watch Ghost and the Darkness, the type who wilfully believes in the tooth fairy until the age of thirteen. As Johnno consoled her earlier, the only animal that could munch on us from the top of the truck would be a giraffe. The sky is open above us, full of stars. The night is clear, the air fresh. We can hear the sounds of the night. It's too perfect a moment to be sharing with Leah and all her questions. I should be lying in the arms of Finch Hatton, with his big gun cuddled up between us.
I drag Mairin out of our tent the next day. It's our last morning, she must come on the last game drive. Dana is feeling somewhat improved and after a cup of tea, actually cracks a smile. In the truck, Mairin lies with her head in my lap, wrapped in blankets. It's like the Children's Wish Foundation: Mairin's last wish is to see the king of the jungle. We drive back to the area where we had seen the two males the day before. Inexplicably as if on queue, the two lazy beasts are still lying in the same area. "Mairin, look, lions." I prop her head up enough for her to see. She is too weak to even smile, but I snap the photo of her face with a lion in the background. She looks a bit confused. "It's ok, sweetie, lie back down. We can go home now."

OK, not actually dinner AT the Vagabond Market, rather, dinner FROM the market. We stopped by today and got to spend a little more time. Confirmed that all the produce is Florida grown. The lady set up at the front of the indoor area had a nice selection - 3 different kinds of eggplant, green beans, a few different kinds of hot peppers, several herbs (rosemary, thyme, mint, sage, cilantro, lemongrass), some lettuce mix, sorrel ... There was also another guy set up selling local-grown tomatoes, w/ a few different varieties - grapes (sweet enough to just eat out of hand), romas, and smallish round ones (resembled a Holland tomato). The mozzarella guy was set up there, as was the Uruguayan steak guy, and it all started looking like a meal to me.
We bought a couple beautiful eggplant (a purple & white striped variety) and bunches of a few different herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage) for $5, 4 tomatoes for $1 (!!!), a mozzarella for $10 (that seemed pricy), and a couple of the grass-fed strip steaks (12 oz steak for $12) and brought our loot home for dinner. Eggplants sliced thin and sauteed, layered w/ some sliced tomatoes and mozzarella and baked; steaks sprinkled w/ some smoked salt and quickly pan-seared and sliced tagliata-style; herbs chopped and blended into some butter to top the steaks. All really good stuff.
The steaks - Uruguayan grass-fed beef from "Gaucho Ranch" - were really full of flavor. They do taste more meaty and minerally, maybe even "tangy," than your average corn-fed beef. You do need to be careful about overcooking them, I found about a minute less per side than I usually do worked fine. I didn't find them tough at all which is an occasional complaint about grass-fed beef. I guess I can understand why some people are put off by grass-fed beef but if you don't mind your beef actually tasting like something, you'll probably enjoy them.

Borthwick's place in England's starting XV has been thrown into doubt thanks to the emergence of Northampton lock Courtney Lawes.
Johnson has handed the captain's armband to Borthwick in all 14 of his matches since taking over as England head coach in 2008.
Nevertheless, Johnson declined to confirm last week whether Borthwick would captain England during the Six Nations, which kicks off on Feb 6.
Harlequins No 8 Easter has been mentioned as a possible alternative to Saracens skipper Borthwick, but he is happy to defer to the current incumbent.
"It is flattering that people think of you in that light but I would give Steve my backing for the captaincy," Easter said.
"Steve is a tremendous captain. He brings so much intensity and professionalism to every training session.
"When he says something he isn't just saying it for the sake of it.
"He was under pressure in the autumn but we didn't have many players available. We just lost to New Zealand and beat Argentina in the last two games.
"Steve played some of his best rugby for England in the last two games as well.
"He has been captaining Sarries well this season. They've been there or thereabouts at the top of the league and I think he's a natural leader."
Easter was sidelined with a calf injury for England's autumn Tests, when Johnson's side struggled past Argentina and lost to New Zealand and Australia.
Johnson's options were severely restricted due to injury and Easter admits England have to start performing now Johnson has a full squad to pick from.
"The players and the management have this belief that now is the time to deliver," Easter said.
"There's not long to go to the World Cup now. It's just over 18 months away. This is a bona fide competition where results matter, it's outcome-driven and there's a trophy to play for which is ultimately what happens in a World Cup.
"It's not a knockout tournament but if we are to set standards and to be the world's best then we have to conquer our hemisphere first of all and we can only do that by winning the Six Nations.
"It will be mightily difficult but we can do it."

Air-conditioning was a draw for early movie houses. Before it was a commonplace aspect of homes and cars, movie theaters were places you could just sit for cheaply and be entertained in blessed, non-boiling comfort. Aurora is bringing that aspect back with Houston Is Hot, where they'll be showing off local films that celebrate Houston's diversity while hiding us safely from that glaring yellow thing in the sky. Among the shorts is Luster's Montrose Rollerblade Dancer. Luster profiles Juan Carlos, who has been skating and dancing on the sidewalks of Montrose for more than 15 years and recently, became a viral Internet star. As one of Houston's most recognizable people, this is a great chance to get to know the man behind the moves. Another Houston institution, the video store Audio Video Plus gets a proper send off in a short by Stephanie Saint Sanchez in The Last Roar: Requiem for a Video Store.

Boundary condition on 3D Supersonic nozzle problem with atmosphere
Hello :o
I try to solve an unsteady problem that supersonic nozzle flow(from the combustion chamber) impinges on a gas deflector.
During the solve this problem, there are thousands cells under 300K, and under 1000Pa.. and it's doubful if this problem goes well.
I have 3D grid(L x W x H : 30x10x35 in meter) that has symmetry. 2 species(hot gas and air) for material and the hot gas has Cp which is function of temperature, 26 for molecular mass, other is ideal or constant. air is.. air with ideal gas properties. Here is my BC setting..
- nozzle inlet(combustion chamber)
mass flow rate : 300 kg/s
supersonic/initial guage pressure : 101325Pa
total temp : 3900K
- atmosphere(pressure farfeild)
Mach # : 0
guage pressure : 101325Pa
temp : 300K
- wall
nonslip condiiton for moment
adiabetic for thermal condition
Initial conditions are 300K, 101325Pa
I set the under limit as 300K for T, 1000Pa for static pressure
