Our test driver singles out the features and systems you should insist on—and dismisses the expensive gimmicks.
By Michelle Krebs
On a January morning, I gazed out the window of my suburban Detroit home after a monster storm had piled nearly a foot of snow in my street. It was a day to stay inside, but I couldn't. Detroit's annual auto show—an absolute must for folks in my line of work—was opening.
I had to find a way to get downtown, some 40 miles away, and luck was on my side. I had no four-wheel-drive vehicle, but in my driveway was a front-drive Ford Windstar, with traction control, that I had been testing. I gave it a shot.
As I crept down the unplowed streets of my subdivision, I could see that none of my neighbors had ventured out in their cars. But I had an advantage: The traction control on my Windstar instantly detected when a wheel was slipping and gave more power to the ones that had grip. The system engaged frequently; the flickering light on the dashboard told me that. With nary a slip or slide, I made my way through my neighborhood until the Windstar reached plowed pavement. The rest of my drive to the convention center was relatively a breeze.
That was the day I became a believer in traction control, especially for those of us in snow country who don't own four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Traction control is but one of the amazing technologies on today's cars and trucks. In fact, the auto companies are fond of boasting that many cars now have more computer power than did the Apollo spaceships that rocketed men to the moon—computer power that makes trips like mine on snow-clogged streets possible.
True, most of us aren't looking to fly to the moon. We just want to travel safely and comfortably to the office or supermarket. We don't need a lot of useless high-tech gimmicks to further complicate our lives and drain our bank accounts as we pay ever-higher prices for cars that also bring ever-higher repair bills. The features we need—be they standard equipment or options—are things like traction control, obstacle detection systems, and antilock brakes. They're worth every penny because they save lives.
Thumbs up for these features
Traction control on a vehicle without four-wheel drive is a no-brainer for those of us who live in Michigan's snowy clime. But I can also envision its usefulness during monsoon season in Naples, FL, where I lived before. It's standard on most luxury cars, and worth the money as an option on two-wheel-drive sport-utility vehicles and rear-drive sports cars, as well. General Motors' Saturn division remains one of the few manufacturers to offer it on a lower-priced car.
Other features in the "gotta have it" category, even if you have to pay extra for them as options:
Air bags, and more air bags. No question about it—they save lives. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that more than 6,000 people are still drawing breath today because of air bags. Among those fortunate folks is a colleague of mine. He and his wife walked away from a head-on smashup with only minor injuries, thanks to the air bags in their car.
Federal law requires all new vehicles to be equipped with dual front air bags. Though many people view the air bag mandate as government intrusion on personal rights, I say the more air bags in a car, the merrier. Even if they're not standard on the model you choose, I recommend spending a few hundred dollars extra for side air bags that pop out of the door or, preferably, from the side of the seat. They've been proved to help prevent serious head injuries as well as damage to the ribs and chest. Some luxury cars, including all BMW models, even offer them for rear-seat passengers.
Air bag "curtains" are the latest innovation. They deploy from the roof along the side windows. In side-impact accidents, some of these curtains inflate and deflate in milliseconds, much as front air bags do in head-on collisions. Others, such as those on the 2002 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer, sense instantly when a vehicle starts to roll over, and they remain inflated. While no statistics are available yet on curtain air bags' effectiveness, they seem like a good idea to me.
Best of all, in my book, are the "smarter" air bags. They detect when a seat is occupied, how large the occupant is, and how he's positioned (leaning against the door, for example, or sitting in a seat that's tilted back). They also calculate the vehicle's speed, so that they can deploy at just the right force—or not deploy at all—to keep from injuring the rider. While you're at it, I'd recommend that you opt for the newest generation of front air bags, which deploy with less force than the early ones. Those often injured small drivers (folks my size) who sat close to the steering wheel.
Adjustable pedals. While I'm praising options for short drivers, let me put in a word for adjustable pedals, With the push of a button, the accelerator and brake pedals move closer to the driver's feet or farther away, allowing the "height disadvantaged" to find a comfortable driving position that's a safe distance from the air bag.
Unfortunately, adjustable pedals are not widely available. DaimlerChrysler offered them first on its Dodge Viper sports car. Ford provides them on high-volume models, such as its Taurus sedan, Windstar minivans, and its sport-utilities. When you can get them, they'll set you back no more than a couple of hundred bucks.
Antilock braking. It's another safety feature I won't do without. Standard on many vehicles, ABS costs between $200 and $600 as a stand-alone option or part of a package. Think about it: That's roughly the same as your deductible for body shop work, and you're likely to use the system at least a couple of times a year to avoid a much more expensive—and perhaps potentially lethal—accident.
Antilock brakes do require you to brake differently than most of us were trained. I was taught in high school driver's ed to pump the brakes in panic situations so they wouldn't lock. In effect, ABS does the pumping for you, but far more quickly. To work efficiently, the system requires you to keep the brake floored—even though you may feel a shudder under your foot or hear a noise.
Obstacle detection systems. With the exception of most luxury models, these systems aren't widely available yet, but I'd sure want one if I owned a minivan or high-riding sport-utility vehicle. It breaks my heart to read about a driver backing over a child in a driveway. Obstacle detectors are designed to prevent such tragedies, and to help you avoid damaging your vehicle when you're backing up. They're available on Ford Windstar minivans and Buick Park Avenue sedans, among other models.
The system uses a rear-mounted sensor that beeps to let the driver know an object is close; the beeping becomes more insistent as your vehicle draws nearer. A few luxury cars, including the BMW 5 and 7 Series, have a similar sensor in the front to help with parallel parking. The system is priced at about $300.
But thumbs down on these
So that's my go-for-it list of safety features. There are others, though, that I doubt most of us would use often, if ever:
Stability control. It was introduced on luxury cars and is available now on many other vehicles. I've tried such systems in controlled settings on icy test tracks and sand-covered racecourses. In those tests, I imagined another vehicle suddenly pulling into my lane, forcing my car into a skid. Clearly, there was a difference in the car's behavior. With the stability control system off, I swerved to avoid the other car, but mine fishtailed and sent me into an uncontrollable spin. With the system on, it felt as if an invisible co-pilot nudged me back on course and prevented my car from twirling.
Sensors track what the driver is directing the car to do through turns of the steering wheel as opposed to the way the vehicle moves in response. If it's not doing what the driver wanted, the stability control system automatically brakes the appropriate wheels with enough pressure to put the car back on course. Some systems also adjust engine power to stabilize the vehicle.
The system could be a lifesaver on ice, and an aggressive, lead-footed driver might use it often. Those of us who are more cautious may never engage it.
"Smart" cruise control. Because I actually enjoy the act of driving—the more the road twists, the better—I'm not thrilled with the new smart cruise control systems. Currently, you can get them only on the Lexus LS 430 and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but they're planned for future luxury cars, including Jaguars. These systems use sensors to track the vehicle ahead, varying the accelerator and brakes to maintain a set distance between vehicles.
To me, that means too much control is being taken from the driver. But I'll admit that I'm probably the exception; many people can't wait for the car that drives itself. Considering the number of inattentive, tailgating drivers clogging the roads, maybe it's not a bad idea—for them.
Night vision. This is another system I can do without. At $2,000, it seems like an expensive gimmick to me. General Motors' Cadillac division was the first to offer it, but other automakers, including Chrysler, are planning to install similar systems.
Cadillac claims its night vision system allows the driver to see three to five times farther down the road than he can with low headlight beams. That would, of course, give the driver more time to react to danger ahead. Cadillac's system, based on jet fighter technology, has a sensor that resembles a camera lens peeking out of the grille. It uses infrared to detect heat emitted by objects in or near the car's path. The image seen by the sensor is then projected onto the lower portion of the windshield. Hot objects—such as animals, people, and moving cars—appear white. Cool ones—trees lining the road, for instance—are dark.
In test drives, I found the system a distraction. I was instructed to look through the windshield as I normally would and to check the night-vision screen with my peripheral vision. Yeah, sure. Trust me, it takes lots of practice—and self-discipline—not to focus on the night vision screen. Imagine trying to explain to a traffic cop, "I ran the stop sign because I was watching my infrared system for deer in the road."
Navigation systems. Permit me to turn my thumb sideways here; I'm not completely down on nav systems. My daughter's track team competes with out-of-town schools, and the navigation systems I've tested can guide me to those locations. And I was grateful to have one on a California trip to keep from getting lost. But I've only recently accepted the view that these systems are useful for around-town driving.
Navigation systems know where your vehicle is because satellites track it. A menu allows the driver to punch in a specific address or cross streets, or to select a location—a restaurant, say, or a famous landmark—from its memory bank. Data is delivered to the screen via compact discs in a CD changer, usually housed in the trunk.
Automakers offer various versions of the system. Jaguar was the first to provide voice recognition. Acura and Lexus are among the first to use DVD technology; it allows the entire US to be contained on a single disc that also carries millions of bits of information, from locations of gas stations and ATMs to sites of museums and amusement parks.
Still, for creatures of habit, who rarely travel into unknown territory, this option isn't worth the $2,000 or so it costs. You can find cheaper, portable navigation systems in electronics stores. They're especially handy if you move from one car to another.
Other choices—good and bad
Onboard emergency communication systems. Those such as OnStar, first introduced on General Motors vehicles, provide peace of mind, especially when your problem is handled by a real human. I feel vulnerable in a car without my cellular phone, but these systems make me feel more secure than even a cell phone can.
They connect your vehicle to a command center manned by friendly earthlings. The center immediately summons emergency services if the air bag has deployed. The people at the center can track a stolen vehicle, unlock doors by remote control, provide directions to a stymied driver, and even make dinner and hotel reservations.
In the early days, these systems worked poorly. I tested the first OnStar system and was frequently put on hold for long periods while the monitors at the center came up empty-handed after trying to find the theater or restaurant I wanted. Since then, though, the service has vastly improved.
Entertainment systems. They may not save lives, but they can certainly preserve parental sanity. Numerous minivans and sport-utilities, including those from DaimlerChrysler, General Motors, Ford, Nissan, and Honda, offer entertainment systems that allow rear-seat passengers to watch movies on a VCR or DVD player, or to play video games.
A video screen folds down from the roof, or it may be located in the back of the console. Headphones either are wireless or plug into outlets. Front-seat passengers can listen to the vehicle's audio system while back-seat occupants play games, watch a movie, or listen to different music. If my family took frequent car trips, I wouldn't hesitate to order one of these systems, just to silence the incessant "Are we there yet?" Beware, however: These systems are pricey—up to $1,500, installed. So I'd consider a less expensive aftermarket system. There are a number that can be moved from vehicle to vehicle or removed and used elsewhere.
Internet hookup. This is the latest technological marvel developed for cars, and it's the one that interests me least. Beginning last year, a number of luxury cars, including models from Cadillac and Mercedes, were equipped to let the driver access the Internet for downloading of e-mail, sports scores, news headlines, and stock quotes.
Eventually, such systems will offer real-time traffic news; OnStar is testing one now in three cities. A system that can do that would be worthwhile. But the rest is just too much. My car is my sanctuary. Surely I—or any other driver—can wait to reach home or the office to check e-mail and stock quotes.

I have to tell y'all what Pierre did the other day. First of all, I have mentioned that he has a crush on the female yellow Lab that lives behind us. They have only met through the fence. I don't know her parents, so the two are left exchanging sweet nothings through the pickets.
*A little sidebar…Bentley does not like her and thinks she deserves his harshest barking.
Okay, now that I have given you the background story let me tell you what our little Romeo did to impress his Juliet.
We were sitting on the patio relaxing while Skipper grilled us some chicken on Monday. The boys were sniffing around in hopes that Dad would drop a piece of meat or that some kids would ride bikes by so they could run and bark. After no action for a few minutes Bentley was making his way back to the porch. All of the sudden Pierre comes racing up to him and begins a wrestling match! Bentley didn't really want to wrestle but they did their usual snappy jumpy roughhousing. It didn't last a minute, but it is what happened afterwards that had us laughing.
Pierre's girlfriend must have been let out of the house moments before Pierre decided to show off his wrestling skills. I glanced over and saw her through the fence watching them. Obviously, Pierre knew she was there because after jumping poor Bentley, he went over and stood sideways so she could admire him for a minute. Then, he went over to talk at the fence and I'm sure was really laying it on thick for her!
I've seen guys show off for girls but that is the first time to ever seen a dog do it. Pierre is such a little flirt!
Lucky for me, Bailie likes boys too, so we usually both are interested when we see a handsome fellow. Nice work, Pierre.
... this is what the young might call "spring fever" !
Pierre....you are a lover for sure...I 100% positive your Golden Lady was quite impressed with you before she knew you were such an athlete....now she knows you aren't just another pretty face.
Pierre was just letting that gal know what a handsome and strong dude he is!!!
oh sweet Pierre!!!! They say that French men have a way with the ladies!!!!!! He is just proving everyone right! Adorable!
We're sure she was impressed!!!
Well, at least you don't have any competition from Bentley, Pierre.
Pierre, I think that she has a crush on you too!
We bet she likes you back, Pierre. How could she not?

Q: client/main.less file not being loaded by Meteor 1.3 I have a Meteor 1.3 and my client/main.less file is not being imported. My expectation is this should be happening by default. I have the less Meteor package installed.
Interesting enough, client/main.scss IS being imported. Why would that happen if I have the less package installed?
Any ideas?

A: It sounds like the file isn't being loaded for some reason. Perhaps there is an error in the file that prevents inclusion, but is somehow not reported.
Try replacing it with a small file with a very noticeable result (like changing the page background colour to something bright)

This performance is intense. It's a structured freestyle. Thus, the dancers improvise within time and space restrictions and feed off the energy of the music and the audience. It doesn't take long before everyone is clapping and the break dancing energy rises. On multiple occasions, the dancers pull of impressive feats that are met with gasps from the crowd. It's modern and it's fresh and it fits in perfectly on this night.
Before the performance, Nan Giordano is honored with a type of lifetime achievement award, a new thing this year. She humbly accepts as she thanks the Chicago dance community for all the help.
The performance begins with all the dancers sitting in chairs in a circle facing the center. They begin tossing each other around and moving about like a crazy game of musical chairs / duck duck goose. The movement is intoxicating and showcases the talents of this great company.
The music for this piece uses a bunch of infomercials about fitness programs cut and pasted together in an electronic sounding piece. The dancers are wearing outfits that are a mix of workout clothes and tight ballet outfits while performing a mix of those two styles of movement. While at first it seems to be a form of pop art and fun look at exercise, it turns into a critical look at the current fitness industry. Within the Modern Masters program by The Joffrey back in February, it seemed a bit out of place, but it fits very well into tonight's show.
In this piece, the dancers are joined by live musicians on stage playing a soprano sax and a violin. The musicians are involved in the choreography as they move across the stage. At one point, it even seems like the sax player is a snake charmer controlling the dancers with his music. It's a very interesting mix of musicians and dancers that really shows how closely they interact.
41 dancers take the stage wearing all red with white suspenders as "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers begins to play. They all move in unison in perfect sync with the music in the largest group of the night. When the song reaches a climax, so does the dancing. It's a perfect match that is met with thunderous applause at its conclusion.
The 40s displays the joy in America after World War II ended. "Opus Number One", as performed by Ralph Burns, starts and the full company dances happily out on to the stage with jazz hands waving. The song has that big band feel and swing is incorporated into the piece with a lot of twirls. Alicia Delgadillo stands out displaying a big ball of energy and enthusiasm. Lou Conte, the founder of Hubbard Street Dance, has remounted this piece expertly and it exhibits the best of this troupe. What a joyful way to end the night!

Over 700,000 people worldwide died from colorectal cancer in 2010, up from 500,000 in 1990, making it the fourth leading cause of cancer death behind lung, stomach and liver.
Remarkably, your household bottle of aspirin – in addition to relieving the common headache – protects against colorectal cancer based on several clinical trials over the past few decades. Though its effect is clear, how exactly aspirin prevents colon cancer has remained murky.
Who cares how it works as long as it saves lives, right?
Ball and stick model of the wonder drug, aspirin. It not only relieves pain but also prevents heart attacks and even cancer.
Well, it turns out that long-term daily use of aspirin carries risks of internal bleeding of the stomach and brain, kidney failure, and certain types of strokes. So unraveling what exactly aspirin does to fend off tumors is an important step to finding new drugs with fewer side effects.
Earlier this week, scientists at University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) reported that they've unlocked the secrets of aspirin's tumor-killing powers. In their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the UPCI team shows that aspirin prevents colon cancer by orchestrating the death of stem cells in the intestine that carry a dangerous mutation.
Most colorectal cancers initially crop up with a mutation in a gene called APC. The APC protein is a so-called tumor suppressor, which acts to keep a lid on any uncontrolled cell division, an early step to tumor growth. So a bad APC gene leads to a faulty APC protein and, in turn, the potential for normal intestinal cells to become cancerous. The intestine has a rich source of stem cells, which are particularly vulnerable to this mutation since stem cells already possess the ability for unlimited cell growth.
The research team compared colorectal tumor samples from patients who had taken aspirin to those who had not. Using these samples in animal studies, the researchers showed that aspirin triggers cell suicide in intestinal stem cells that carry the APC mutation, effectively killing off the cells with the potential of feeding tumor growth. Healthy intestinal cells, on the other hand, are left unscathed by aspirin.
With this important discovery of cell suicide, or programmed cell death in scientific jargon, as the instigator of aspirin's ability to prevent colon cancer, the research team finds themselves at an exciting new starting line to find drugs for cancer patients with less harmful side effects.
Aspirin protection against colorectal cancer has been suggested by many studies before, personally I thought the mechanism would be an anti-inflammatory one, yet it is interesting to know that it kills faulty stem cells that carry APC gene.

Le  d'hélicoptères de combat était une unité de l'aviation légère de l'armée de terre basée à Essey-lès-Nancy qui a été dissoute le .

Historique
Le  régiment d'hélicoptères de combat est créé le  à Essey-les-Nancy par modification organique et nominale du  groupe d'hélicoptères légers. Il forme, avec le  de hussards, le groupement de reconnaissance et d'intervention du  d'armée, axé sur l'intervention anti-chars.

Le régiment est l'héritier des pelotons d'avions du  corps d'armée et de la  DIM (1943-1945), des pelotons des  DI et  DIM d'Algérie, du GAOA , du GALAT , des  GALAT et  GALREG et du  GHL.

Le , le  RHC renforce le  régiment d'hélicoptères de combat dans "l'Opération Daguet". En 1993, des équipages du régiment, engagés au Cambodge, dans le cadre de l'Apronuc, accomplissent de nombreuses évacuations sanitaires. Il est aussi engagé à Divulje, près de Split, pour le troisième mandat de la Forpronu. Le régiment participera ainsi à trois mandats de l'ONU en alternance avec le  régiment d'hélicoptères de combat. Enfin, en 1996, il fait partie du Detalat IFOR, à Ploce, en Croatie.

Le , il intègre la  brigade aéromobile, créée le , aux côtés du  régiment d'hélicoptères de combat et de manœuvre.

En 1997, le régiment alignait sept escadrilles : une escadrille de commandement et des services (ECS), une escadrille de soutien et de ravitaillement (ESR), trois escadrilles d'hélicoptères anti-chars (EHAC) sur Gazelle, une escadrille d'hélicoptères d'appui protection (EHAP) sur Gazelle également, et enfin une escadrille d'hélicoptères de manœuvre (EHM) sur Puma. L'EHM stationnait à Etain-Rouvres, les six autres escadrilles étant basées à Essey-lès-Nancy.

Le régiment est dissous le  en même temps que la  brigade aéromobile.

Les terrains occupés par le  RHC ont été acquis en 2006 par la communauté urbaine du Grand Nancy. La destruction du site est programmée dans le premier semestre 2007 pour faire place à un village aéronautique prévu pour 2008.

Star of the TV series "Chernobyl" will give up their careers for the sake of art
Konstantin Davydov refused to continue to act in films. Despite the fact that he is happy with the money he receives for the work, it is interesting to study music. That is why the young man does not accept the new proposals.
Fans of the mystical series "Chernobyl" saddened. Actor Konstantin Davydov, who played a major role in the film, told the festival EPIC CON that he plans to say goodbye to acting career.
About a week ago at the international Festival of cinema and computer games, Epic Con in Saint-Petersburg on the stand, film company, TV-3, the presentation of the new season of the popular mystical series "Chernobyl-2. Exclusion zone", which held the starring Konstantin Davydov (Pasha) and Christina Kazinskoe (Anya). The role of the Pasha announced that he no longer plans to star in a movie, and plans to devote himself to music.
"My acting career is almost finished because I'm an actor in one role, the actor "Pasha from the TV series "Chernobyl". For two years, professionally speaking, as about making money, I earn money for acting only on "Chernobyl: exclusion Zone". There are other things that are interesting to me, and they are also art," says the actor.

The first camping of the year in the middle of the Liwa desert (UAE).
During the winter, the weateher in UAE is very enjoyable and experience an off road adventure is very common for most of the people living here.
Three hours off Dubai, we proceed in the Moreeb dunes direction (22°58'16.0″N 53°46'36.6″E), the meeting point with the rest of the group. After few stops for coffee and the wood procurement, we reached the spot before sunset. From the main road, we just moved in the middles of the desert, where we stopped in a a great spot sorruneded by the big dunes (up to 300m).
People from different part of the world attended to this my event, people with different stories and different background, but all united in the passion of adventure, living off road and feeling free.
Before that heat will come up again, we will plan another party like this, in a different spot but with the same passion.

I am an advocate for weaning the Montessori way, with a weaning table. A weaning table is traditionally used from around six months, often as a replacement of a high chair, at which the infant sits to have their first solids. While there is a lot of advice around about Montessori weaning tables it's great to see real ones, in action, being used by real children!!
This is a good article DIY Weaning Table - Ikea Hack at Bread & Roses. LePort Schools has some wonderful images of their weaning tables in their photo gallery. There is also a cute article about the weaning table here at Bluebird Kisses.
If you are looking for a suitable table and chair there is no one simple answer. Some Montessori stores will sell matching table and chair sets while there are many more creative options out there. I hope you get some ideas from some of these links, each table is beautifully unique.
I am always looking for new items for Otis to explore. I have been updating his treasure basket regularly but wanted to introduce a couple more 'baskets' to his shelves.
I really like the idea of having a few items in a basket to allow the child to experience this freedom, this new power and ability to choose which item they will reach for and play with.
Using a basket like this gives him the experience of sitting up for just a few minutes, eventually he will be able to sit up alone but for now he is using me for support.
As for what to put in the baskets, it needed to be easy and I didn't want to spend a cent!
I had some textured fabric ideas in mind. The texture book is such a lovely idea and a beautiful keepsake. I also like the tactile beanbags. But purely for simplicity I went for some plain textured fabric all which I had around the home.
We have these lovely Spiel and Holz blocks in storage. I chose five and put them in a basket for him also.
They are lovely to look at and feel so nice in the hands. Two new baskets and one happy baby!
This is called the push-up.
Oh Otis, I love you so.
Holding the item with one hand and exploring with the other. One of those micro-developmental milestones, blink and we will miss it.
Not only reaching, grasping but exploring. Exploring everything with his hands.
Edited October 11 to include the below photograph (see comments).


While checking on the Arboretum yesterday to see how the spring rains were treating the landscape, I came across a pair of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) grazing on new grass emerging from the seeding of a constructed area we call the Gathering Circle. The geese brought back memories of my relative youth as a budding wildlife biologist – or at least as a graduate student at the University of Minnesota with aspirations to become a wildlife biologist.
The photo is a little blurry because I only had a small camera with me that I quickly poked out the window of the truck to grab a snapshot while moving on, not wanting to disturb the geese. The landscape architects and engineers who constructed the Gathering Circle might not be too happy to see the geese grazing on the new grass emerging from the seed planted last fall. But that's life. Anything we do in the environment has both intended and unintended consequences. Besides, there's plenty of grass to go around.
As I watched the birds for a few minutes, they walked away from me warily – not completely alarmed, but certainly mindful of my presence in case I tried anything funny. The gander, or male goose, was limping badly. If you look at the bird on the left, you'll notice its right leg being held out at an angle.
The leg appears to be injured or at least something may be affecting the joint and the ability of the bird to put weight on its right leg. So it hobbles along uncomfortably, which is another reason why I moved on quickly, not wanting to make it expend any more unnecessary effort to get away from me.
How do I know that the bird on the left is almost assuredly the male of the pair? That judgement comes from experience and knowledge of avian behavior.
Even from this blurry photo you probably can get the impression that the bird on the left is ever so slightly larger than the goose on the right. Also notice that the bird on the left has a slightly more alert posture with its head and neck held high, observing the strange creature, me, that might pose a threat to the pair.
When you observe a mated pair of Canada geese close up, you will often notice that the male is slightly larger than the female, even though they both have the same plumage, which is called monomorphism in this case. Biologists would say that males and females are "monomorphic", and have the same plumage and coloration, which is not uncommon among birds that are monogamous and basically mate for life.
Also, when you have the chance to observe a pair of geese that are feeding in spring, which often will mean grazing on young, tender shoots of grass, you will usually see the smaller female spending more time intensely foraging, while the male stands tall and alert next to her. In early spring, the female will be preparing to nest and lay eggs, and so it is critically important that she store up body reserves to have enough energy and nutrients to build a nest, lay a clutch of typically about 5-6 large eggs, and incubate them essentially continuously for about 28 days until they hatch.
Newly hatched goslings are precocial, meaning they are active, covered with downy feathers, and able to leave the nest and begin to forage for themselves right away. But even so, the female still provides warmth and protection for the goslings if they need to huddle under her wings during cold weather and nights.
It's unlikely that this particular pair of geese are going to stay and nest in the WSU Arboretum. The only permanent wetland in the Arboretum is one small diked pond that doesn't have any islands or muskrat houses. Why is a muskrat house, or more appropriately, a muskrat lodge, important?
Canada geese like to nest on an open, exposed site that is protected by surrounding water if possible and provides good visibility to detect potential approaching predators. Muskrat houses, which are often made of piles of cut cattails, make a good elevated platform for geese nesting in wetlands. The surrounding water provides some protection against many larger predators, such as coyotes who will not likely swim out into the water to get to a nest. And smaller aquatic predators, such as mink or raccoons can often be successfully deterred by a fierce pair of geese protecting their nest.
But we have no muskrats, and thus, no muskrat houses in the WSU Arboretum. Why not, you may wonder? I think the answer is that while muskrats are widely distributed across North America, they are not abundant here on Palouse Prairie, which does not have many permanent wetlands required by breeding muskrats for year around survival.
The distribution map for muskrats in Washington illustrates that they certainly can occur in the area, but their available habitat and abundance is much less than in other parts of the state. The lack of permanent wetland habitat with large expanses of cattails, coupled with the loss of perhaps 97% of original wetland habitats in Palouse Prairie means that we may not have muskrat houses, and nesting sites for Canada geese in the WSU Arboretum unless we create more permanent wetland habitats.
The other option that would be easily accepted by nesting Canada geese is an artificial nest platform, such as a wooden or fiberglass box to hold nest materials, placed on top of a wooden or metal pole out in the open water of a wetland. Secure nesting sites such as these are readily used by Canada geese, but we probably won't provide any such nest in the Arboretum either. Our wetland habitat is limited and a resident population of geese would likely cause some problems in the local area.
But it was enjoyable to see a pair of Canada geese visit the Arboretum and remind me of how many years I spent working on geese and other waterfowl back in the Prairie Pothole Region of the midwest. I had a wonderful opportunity to pursue my doctorate working at a place called the Delta Waterfowl & Wetlands Research Station on the south shore of Lake Manitoba.
There's nothing quite like being alone in the middle of a 55,000 acre marsh in Manitoba and being surrounded by thousands and thousands of white Snow geese and many hundreds of Tundra swans all staging in the area, all waiting for the cold Arctic winter to thaw so they might finish their northward migration and nest in the Arctic spring.
When that happens you feel the life and pulse of the living Earth burst forth around you in a sudden cacophony of calls, whistling wings, mating rituals, and frantic preparation for breeding. The cycles of rebirth, growth, and seasons pass quickly by like cloud shadows under the sun when you have the opportunity to watch and study wildlife and nature in any magical place on Earth, such as the Delta Marsh. I think about how much I learned there from university mentors, my peers all intensely interested in waterfowl and wetlands, scientific literature, and practical field experience gained with no one looking over my shoulder.
And I wonder how many young biologists today even know about the Delta Marsh. How many have read the early descriptive scientific works, and how many have seen the beautiful drawings and paintings of Al Hochbaum, the first scientific director of what was then called the Delta Waterfowl Research Station? How many understand the intricate life history and mating strategies of different waterfowl species? For many people, they're just swans, geese, or ducks, and that's that. They don't know how to turn the cover on the book and read the individual stories within, and so many rich mysteries go unread and unsolved.
For a few minutes, I think and feel all this and much more as I watch the geese grazing in the Arboretum. But for these geese, it is their spring, right here, right now. It is their fresh cycle of life as they seek to find food and find a safe place to nest and raise their young, who will then rapidly grow from awkward goslings into sleek adult looking birds by fall and follow their parents to a more southern location for winter as a family group.
I often have moments like these in the new WSU Arboretum & Wildlife Conservation Center. I may be working or walking in the wildlife center and perhaps have a hawk circle low over my head and give its sharp piercing call. And I think about all the people just a relatively short distance away on the main campus of Washington State University who are working in buildings, probably sitting in front of their computer or in a classroom. How much they miss.
I'm convinced that to be happy and well, we not only need connection with other people, but we need connection with land and plants and animals and all the mystery of natural life around us. The internal, imaginary worlds created by the human mind are truly stunning in their complexity and creativity. And yet, the smallest patch of earth and the smallest insect is by far more complicated and beautiful than anything we have created. We are not alone on this Earth, and we do well when we remind ourselves of this fact by taking a few moments every day to stop and see and feel all the life that surrounds us.
Hopefully, the pair of geese in the Arboretum find a safe path through the hazards of nesting and caring for eggs and raising young. Perhaps the lame gander will heal and regain better use of its leg. That would be nice. But it is spring on the Palouse and life is bursting forth, including the leaves emerging from the bulbs of what will become the beautiful blue, native camas flowers we've started in the Arboretum.
Spring is good. And the cycle of life, growth, and renewal begins again.
I can see that writing short science blog posts will be a challenge for me. There is so much to discuss and marvel about in the natural world. But I guess that one can always return and continue stories, as we plan to do here in Nature @ WSU on a regular basis. Please join us again as we describe the long journey, the passing of seasons, the cycles of life, and the development of the WSU Arboretum and Wildlife Conservation Center.
Good observations of the Canada geese 🙂 i used to watch them all year round in a nearby lake and swamp area. They can appear quite aggressive when protecting their children at springtime.
Yes, Canada geese certainly can be aggressive when defending their young goslings. In fact, the most aggressive tend to be those geese that are somewhat used to seeing and being around people. They can be the worst!
But in our area, and on the WSU campus, geese are not particularly common, and Pullman doesn't have many permanent ponds or wetlands that would be suitable for their nesting, so we likely won't have many problems with geese.
Ironically, when I began my graduate career for my M.S. degree, I worked on the Canada goose populations that were being established in various nature reserves in the Minneapolis-St.Paul metropolitan area. At that time, many people were excited about establishing flocks of geese.

Some will a little earlier, some will a little later, but most children have gotten their first tooth by the time they approach their first birthday. We've written a lot in the past about diet, bottles and teething but we haven't yet written about one very important topic we often are asked by new parents: when to begin cleaning an infant's teeth.
Care should actually begin early, even before teeth come in! After each feeding, infant's bare gums should be wiped with a clean soft washcloth. As soon as the first tooth is in, it's time to begin using a brush! Selecting a small brush with soft nylon bristles is your best bet. A great example is FridaBaby's Smile Frida toothbrush, which has inward facing bristles on three sides to clean the three tooth surfaces all at once. You'll often find that a small child just likes to chew the brush, especially after you've added your "rice grain" amount of fluoridated toothpaste (for children one-year of age and up). The focus at this age is to mechanically clean the plaque off the teeth, so just keep the brush going as long as you can!
When to start using floss? While some children's teeth are spaced, others are tightly aligned. Floss helps clean the surfaces between the teeth once they directly touch the adjacent tooth. If your child's teeth touch each other, it's likely that you're ready to begin flossing. If you want confirmation or are unsure, we'll go over it with you at your next dental cleaning.
We look forward to helping you and your children learn how to best take care of their teeth. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces at your next appointment!

I may often write about fab book events but it rarely happens I get a much coveted invite to a party thrown by a publisher (usually I am a +1 or it's an event I was able to buy tickets to), so when the invite to the Skin book party arrived, I felt very excited even though I didn't know anything about the novel yet!
I did my research online (aka Googled the book), but wasn't much wiser after that, however Laura (who I invited along) was very excited for the novel plus I'm not one to decline the offer of mingling with fellow book lover and fabulous publishing people, so it really didn't take long for me to make up my mind and decide to go (actual time between reading the email and RSVP-ing? Less than a minute).
First of all, Hodder towers is in Carmelite House and they have an actual roof garden terrace. Laura and I were fashionably early so had some time to enjoy the gorgeous view over the Thames and see the London skyline at its very best.
When the party got started we were first shown a brilliant video by author Ilka Tampke, which single-handedly sold her book to me (as in: I need to read it RIGHT NOW!). She was brilliant to listen to and it only made it more disappointing that she lives all the way in Australia and so couldn't be there herself.
A video was definitely the next best thing though, and the lovely Hodder people have uploaded an abridged version online, which you obviously need to watch asap and then go out and pre-order your copy of Skin!
After the video, many attendees went on to discuss the novel in a spontaneous book group setting, however as Laura and I hadn't read it yet and didn't want to be spoiled we instead chatted to some of the lovely publishers in attendance, such as Lucy (who funnily enough I had met several times when she was still with another publishing company) and Emily. There really is very little as fun as talking to like-minded, passionate book advocates about the novels we love so much.
At the end of the evening we got some great goodie bags as well, which included a beautiful foil-covered hardback copy of Skin. If I wasn't in the middle of another read at the time, I would've started reading it straight away on the train home, it was that tempting!
Thanks so much to Emma for the invite to the party, and everyone at Hodder for making it such a fabulous evening.

Australian artist Rachel Favelle presents figurative paintings that explore the contrast between light and darkness, and the interdependence of humans and nature. Learn more by visiting her website.
During my illustration degree I had a keen fascination with fairy tales, initially researching the writings of the Brothers Grimm and then ancient mythology. On the surface, fairy tales are a form of escapism to a faraway magical place. While they are filled with magic and wonder, I was more interested in the life lessons they communicated.
Fairy tales teach us to become more in touch with nature and animals. Many of my paintings juxtapose figures with flora and fauna, engulfing the individual in a memory or an experience. This morphing of soft organic shapes with the human form reflects the impact of our surroundings in who we become, and help inform our identity.
Living in a country town as a child, I found that swimming holes, the smell of grassy fields, campfires and dusty roads formed the backdrop of my childhood and in turn my connection to nature.
I am also drawn to fairy tales as they reflect the overcoming of a problem or a struggle. In my narratives I explore characters wrestling with their own moral choices. My art is a contrast between softness and darkness—the blackened backgrounds, bare branches, thorns, ravens and blood-stained apples are juxtaposed against delicate flowers, luscious greenery and forest animals.
Much of my art-making practice has involved producing commissions of children and families. These big-eyed stylized portraits of children set in richly coloured alternate worlds aim to celebrate the innocence of childhood.
Working as an art teacher, I often witness other people's struggles when it comes to creating art. There is often the misconception, when people hear of my past successes and future projects, that I sit in my studio for large parts of the day sipping coffee and dabbling in oil paint when I am not sharing my passion for art making with others. This could not be further from the truth. Much of my time is spent performing routine tasks; yard duties, marking essays, rushing kids to after school events, preparing meals and putting my children to bed.
My own personal struggle as an artist has been trying to find time to produce art and then having the confidence to promote my own work, which does not come naturally to me. In the end, I have the belief that persistence is the key and every little bit that you do, no matter how small, counts.
At present my work is exhibited throughout Australia and internationally in Portugal, San Diego and Chicago. I look forward to opening my first international solo show in Chicago at Curly Tale Gallery as well as releasing my second children's book in the coming year.
