Reviewed by: Chaoqun Xie, Foreign Languages Institute, Fujian Teachers University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China Linguist List book announcement at http://linguistlist.org/issues/12/12-295.html#1 The cultural turn of translation studies (see e.g. Bassnett and Lefevere 1990: 1-13; Toury 1995) in the 1990s has resulted in both an increasingly better understanding of the cultural aspects of all writing, including translation, and a greater awareness of the role of translation in broad areas of human culture on the other. Because of its centrality to human interaction, many intellectual disciplines have converged on the translation as "a central locus of inquiry" (Tymoczko 1999: 16), providing a funding of theoretical and practical studies. And the relationship between translation and various phenomena has been explored in the last few decades and has become a leitmotif of translation theory. The present volume under review boasts an endeavor to expound the translated text's historical and cultural specificity. All the essays in this volume, as clearly set out in the introduction, "are concerned with the cultural and political implications of translation and the construction of English subjectivities at particular historical moments" (p.2).This volume is a multidisciplinary study of translation couched within the framework of culture, history, politics and linguistics. Chapter 1, "Figures of English Translation, 1382-1407" (pp. 7-47), written by one of the editors Roger Ellis, dwells upon the cultural and political implications of translation in texts produced in the quarter-century before the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Arundel issued a ban, drafted in 1407, against unlicensed Bible translation in England. The figures referred to in the title of this chapter are twofold: first the translators themselves about their translations; secondly, the figures, Biblical or other, homegrown and European, whom they cited in support of their projects (p. 8). Before 1409, there had been an important debate with regard to the possibility and justification of vernacular translation, in which many figures had been engaged, such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Trevisa, the author of the so- called Prologue to the Wycliffite Bible, and Ullerston. According to Chaucer, the then court poet, a translator totally identified with his original, and possessed of the linguistic means to carry it over to like-minded readers, will grant readers immediate and unmediated access to its truth (p. 9). Chaucer argues for a distinction between the single truth of a translated 'sentence' and the variations in its 'telling'. And Trevisa, who was fellow for a time of the Queen's College, Oxford, presents translation not simply in terms of literary culture, like Chaucer, but rather as a part of everyday communication. In emphasizing speech and dialogue as the condition of translation, Trevisa is also emphasizing the provisionality of translation. Another point worth noting is that Trevisa accepts multiple translations of the same text, regarding them as a way of counteracting error in an individual text. Thirdly, Trevisa is very positive about the role of Latin as the lingua franca of medieval Europe. For Trevisa's achievements, Ellis concludes that they are both 'hugely impressive' and 'limited' (p. 15). And although the Prologue to the Wycliffite Bible, Chapter 15, has very close links with the arguments of Chaucer and Trevisa, there is a subtle shift in emphasis: where Trevisa saw multiple versions as a way of counteracting the error in an individual text, the Wycliffite Prologue uses them collectively as a way of guaranteeing truth. Chapter 2, "Translating the Subject: Ovid's Metamorphoses in England 1560-67" (pp. 48-84), is contributed by another editor of this present volume Liz Oakley-Brown. By closely examining Ovid's text produced in the opening decade of Elizabethan rule, this essay explores the complex transformation of the English subject as it shifted from Catholicism to Protestantism. Although discussions about identity, representation, subjectivity and the self in early England had been numerous, most failed "to bring the subject of translation explicitly into the debate" (p. 48). Stephen Greenblatt's "Renaissance Self- Fashioning", one of the most widely cited book in this field, is no exception. The notion that translating texts are culturally and historically significant for the construction of the subject, in Greenblatt and elsewhere, has remained critically neglected. In this essay, Oakley-Brown argues that English versions of Ovid's "Metamorphoses", in particular the anonymous "Fable of Ovid Treting of Narcissus"(1560), Thomas Peend's "Pleasant Fable of Hermaphroditus and Salmacis" (1565), and Arthur Golding's "Metamophosis" (1567), are arenas for complex shifts in the construction of the English subject at this time (p.49). Chapter 3, "Women Translators, Gender and the Cultural Context of the Scientific Revolution" (pp.85-119), is contributed by Christa Knellwolf. By studying the genre of popularisations of science, this chapter examines the role of the audience in scientific publications and asks in what ways gender figures as an element that facilitates (or hinders) the transmission of knowledge. Through a detailed analysis of the translations of scientific texts, including Aphra Behn's and Elizabeth Carter's versions of, respectively, Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle and Francesco Algarotti, Knellwolf exerts an effort to show that there are convoluted relationships between gender, nation and knowledge, concluding that translation serves as a forum in which stereotypes and prejudices are both challenged and confirmed. Chapter 4, "Hooked on Classics: Discourses of Allusion in the Mid- Victorian Novel" (pp. 120-166), is written by Hugh Osborne. Sufficient critical attention has not been paid to the use of classical allusion, or indeed of allusion generally, in mid-Victorian fiction. The reason for this, according to Osborne, may be linked to a prevailing view of nineteenth- century fiction assuming that fiction of the period necessarily shies away from self-reflexivity and deliberately intertextual narrative strategies (p. 120). And this present chapter seeks to qualify the nature of classical allusion in the novels of Anthony Trollope in particular, a writer whose output has long and predominantly been thought as 'realist'. Osborne concurs with Michael Wheeler's broad definition of allusion: Allusion is the generic term for quotations and references, and for the act of quoting or referring (Wheeler, 1979: 2-3). However, Osborne criticizes Wheeler's definition for failing to take into account a whole range of allusions that do not fall under any of its categories (p.122). With regard to the various functions of classical allusions, the author argues that classical allusion does not merely contribute to a discourse of remembrance, whose use confirms and reveals a formative and difinitional community of the past. It also signifies belonging to a community of the present, the community of the 'gentleman'- a community just as pervasive, just as seemingly self-evident, just as exclusive and crucially just as difficult to define (p. 144). For the author, classical allusion serves as an inherently unstable signifier of a variety of competing forms of masculine identity (p. 164). In the final section of this essay, Osborne examines how classical allusion contributes to mid-Victorian notions of 'gentlemanliness', and dwells on how the assumptions about class and gender inherent in such notions were both naturalised and challenged. Through an exploration of writings by Trollope and other contemporaries, Osborne argues that classical allusions, and contemporary discussions of them, become textual spaces in which various class- and gender-based power struggles can be enacted. This chapter draws to a conclusion that some of the most striking instances of the interpellation of their readers by Trollope's text occur precisely at the moment when linguistic self-effacement is ruptured, and when Trollope's readership becomes implicated in the maintenance and affirmation of a vast network of intertextual references which performatively operate to construct that readership's subjectivity. The first four chapters expounds the construction of Englishness through translation strategies which operate within the boundaries of the nation state itself. And the final chapter, Chapter 5, contributed by Rainer Emig, is titled "'All the Others Translate': W. H. Auden's Poetic Dislocations of Self, Nation, and Culture" (pp. 167-204). This essay investigates the changing role of translation in the development of Auden's poetics. Auden used to be an English subject living in Germany in the early 1930s. Instead of primarily scrutinizing the technical details of his translations, Emig concentrates on the implications of Auden's approaches to translation for questions of subjectivity, linguistic and cultural identity. Fist, Auden starts translating contemporary Scandinavian and Russian writers that he can no longer appropriate as spiritual or actual ancestors. Second, he begins to acknowledge influence as a form of dialogue, and abandons appropriation in favor of an opening-up to positions that cannot, after all, be translated into his established scheme of Englishness, but may be used as often relativising, paralles. A third and perhaps the most radical new form of translation in Auden's works entails translation between different media (p. 176). In the second half of this essay, Emig deals with the implications of Auden's 'contemporary' translations and those that display what recent German theory has termed Intermedialitaet, which translates, at best awkwardly, into English as 'intermediality'. The very fact that Auden chooses authors whose cultural as well as linguistic context is alien to him indicates that there is an opening of the cultural boundaries that define and safeguard individual as well as national identity. That translation, and the precarious identity that it creates, and on which it simultaneously rests, cannot be regarded without reference to their translation enables Auden to work out his philosophical model of a reconciliation of differences that is not a homogenization of those differences but a dialogue and negotiation between them, one that retains and respects difference. The complexity of modernity is largely founded on the simultaneous proliferation of these translations of texts and context and an awareness of this discursive explosion. Emig concludes that while his artistic ideal of reconciling private and public remains equally problematic, Auden's works nonetheless demonstrate a keen awareness that, within the ungroundedness of culture and communication, translation acts both as a reminder of these contingent foundations and as a reassurance that inside this contingency communication can and must continue to be attempted (p. 244). In this sense, Emig's essay fittingly rounds off the present volume under review. To be sure, this volume delivers what it promises -- it suggests ways of looking at the interpellation of the English subject, a subject formed through a variety of matrices, including those of nation, gender, religion and class, through texts that engage with translation in differing ways. The volume tries to bring the translated text's historical and cultural specificity into the forefront. However, the way these essays present their ideas, as I see it, still leaves some room for improvement. And a few words are in order here. Sometimes, if not often, the reader seems at a loss how to follow the contributors' presentations to come to grips with their viewpoints. It would even harder for undergraduate students, those with English as their second language or those unfamiliar with cultural, political and historical background in early Britain, to follow. To sum up, this book is good rather than excellent. References Bassnett, Susan, and Andre Lefevere (eds.) (1990) Translation, History and Culture. London: Printer.

A fascinating feature about oriental handmade tribal rugs in particular Persian is that weavers do not weave from the pattern in front of them but instead rely on their visual memory. They normally follow the ornamental motifs of the city workshops nearby, however incorporating stylised flowers, animals and other objects in great variety of colours. For example this highly decorative Persian Kashkuli tribal rug in deep blue, which is from Southern Persia. Measuring 210 x 135cm (6'9"x4'5"), and made around the first quarter of the 20th century, it has an eye-catching busy central field in dark blue and deep red colours in excellent condition.

What did they see?
Perhaps it has something to do with the psychics who were invited into the Parsonage by Cornelia Parker so that their voices could be recorded for her current exhibition Brontëan Abstracts. It is now possible to listen to their conversations on headphones which are installed in several rooms. Quite a few visitors cross Church Street after their tour of the Museum to take a look at the Matt Lamb exhibition - Spirits of the Brontë Sisters - which fills the School Room.
The fact is that some of them may have seen a ghost, or think they have, according to the eminently down-to-earth Peter Ashton, the man in charge there. He emailed the following:
Wednesday was a quiet afternoon at the Sunday School Room until a man in his forties exited the gallery at speed. I managed to intercept him in our coffee bar area to ask what had occurred.
He told me that he had been in a room at the back of the building (my guess is the room displaying the umbrellas although he did not wait around long enough for me to confirm this) where he had seen a ghost. The only description I could get from him before he tore away was that he had seen an elderly woman dressed in very old fashioned clothes including a studded collar. With that he was off down Church Street.
Twenty minutes or so later a younger man, in his late twenties, with a baby, commented on leaving that he had had a most unusual experience in the umbrella room. Whilst in the room the atmosphere turned 'crepuscular' - his choice of word. He said that nothing of any malevolence occurred, just a damp mistiness.
As far as I am aware the men were not connected. They entered the building separately and had no contact whatsoever with each other.
At no time whilst we were open did anyone answering the description of the ghost come into the building. I checked security etc and visited the umbrella room and other rooms immediately after each report and saw/heard/felt nothing untoward.
At the time when these events occurred the vicar's husband and a friend were working in the Sexton's house next door. Whilst they didn't see the first man they had the chance to chat with the second one.
Maybe the spirits which Matt Lamb believes he lifts out from his paintings are making their presence felt !
Peter - pictured here in the place where the ghost allegedly appeared - wonders whether anybody else has experienced anything similar.
Richard Wilcocks adds:
There has always been a connection between the Brontës and the supernatural, which could perhaps be dismissed as a bit of an irrelevance, or seen as something really significant or set into a historical context.....they did live in a parsonage next to a graveyard after all. Serious papers have appeared on Rochester's voice coming into Jane's mind (influence of Swedenborg?) and then of course there's the young girl at the window in Wuthering Heights (Emily haunted by tragic Maria and Elizabeth as she wrote?) and more recently the Ouijah game which popped up in the second episode of the current television version of Jane Eyre.
My first reaction to Peter's story was to ask him what a studded collar looked like. Was the spectre some kind of Victorian punk rocker? He replied that he did not have time to ask the man for clarification (he is an ex-police officer incidentally) but he speculated that the collar was studded with jewels. That rules out Charlotte then.

Men, have you ever wanted to look as sexy in lingerie as your wife? Probably not. But just in case you have the desire to look feminine and feel sexy a lingerie company for men is out there. Hommemystere.com makes lingerie, panties, g-strings and even bras for men.
Maybe this is a result of women taking on more male dominated society roles, or maybe a couple is looking to get kinky in the bedroom, but the fact of the matter is there are men now wearing frilly bras and panties.
The designs aren't typical lingerie for women, but are designed specifically for a man, but with a "girly" flare. Check it out below.
Personally, I think someone owes this man a royalty fee, because this isn't a new idea.
If your'e in the market for some man panties you can purchase them at Homme Mystere or Rakuten Market

For about three months now, Northeast L.A. and Eastside residents have been noticing dozens of stuffed animals -- mostly teddy bears -- slung like drug-house sneakers from area telephone lines.
The mystery culprit appeared to be much more prolific than the street artist who started dangling Wizard of Oz-style ruby slippers from phone lines last autumn -- and stealthier, besides.
"Who is Hanging NELA's Teddy Bears?" asked the Highland Park-Mount Washington Patch yesterday.
Looks like we may have our answer:
A Patch commenter named Leonessa points to the Twitter account @hrtschallenger, which has been Tweeting photos of similar bears popping up around Japan.
Leyla Safai, one half of Japanese-influenced pop duo HeartsRevolution, runs her adorable pink ice-cream truck, the HeartsChallenger, out of Los Angeles.
And she's been known to treat her customers to more than just some cold 'cream after the club. From LA Weekly's "People" profile of Safai in 2007:
Safai is one smart cookie, and she thinks big. She's getting ready to launch her second truck, which will tour New York starting this month, and she's using the truck to help promote artists and bands (including her own, Hearts Revolution, an "ice-cream-truck-music-gone-electro" project with her beau, Benjamin), in addition to making money doing corporate parties and children's events. T-shirts, button packs and zines are sold right alongside candy and ice cream -- and all of it with an international flavor.
"It's so great to be able to expose people to stuff they've never seen before," she says, "whether Armenian ice cream or a street artist from Japan."
A Tumblr linked to HeartsRevolution called Heart Street (He)art has a full photo archive of teddies and other stuffed animals hung around L.A. since the beginning of March -- all striped across the eyeline with Safai's signature pink facemask.
Here are some of our favorites.

We're thinking the city's MDMA dealers should totally follow suit, and use these guys as their own cuddly brand of drug-house sneakers.
"This is what you do when you have too much free time on your hands," writes HeartsRevolution on Facebook. Not sure how that works -- what with Safai's ice-cream truck and zillion other Hearts-related side projects -- but we the jaded commuters of Los Angeles couldn't be more thankful for her fuzzy dots of cheer on the long drive home.

Hallo Everyone!

West Stokes High School is designed for 1,000 students in grades 9 to 12. The new campus shares a 137-acre site with two existing schools, Chestnut Grove Middle and Mount Olive Elementary.
Site amenities include a football stadium and play fields for baseball, softball and soccer. The site organization and building structures take advantage of the county's ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONCOST PER SQ FT$92.52FEATURED IN2000 Architectural Portfolio terrain. The school is both a one- and two-story structure, stepping with the natural grade. A courtyard of nearly one acre lies within the heart of the campus and incorporates a grassed lawn amphitheater.
The main building encompasses the outdoor courtyard and is divided into four distinct areas: the administrative/guidance wing, the media center/technology wing, the cafeteria/physical-education/music wing, and the academic wing. The internal organization of spaces allows for the building to be flexible to accommodate changes in the instructional program. Through the use of massing, texture and material changes, the building's exterior effectively accentuates the use within. The overall campus is planned for future growth.

The more you're aware of chicken behavior, the better backyard flock manager you'll be. Knowing a thing or two about how chickens act will help you feed them what they need, protect them more effectively, and generally enjoy them. If they're happy, chances are that you'll be happy too. It's a team effort.
Let's review some of their behavior characteristics, and as we go I'll give some examples of how I've made good use of this knowledge when working with my chickens.
As best as I can, I try not to look at these behavior characteristics as good or bad, just a behavior that my fine feathered friends exhibit that I need to keep in mind.
Chickens can be easily confused, so expect them to live up to the expression "bird brain." As an example, I once took my young chickens out of the coop and set them outside to enjoy the sunshine, bugs, soil to scratch in, and the natural grass and weeds available to eat. They were literally 15 feet from the coop, and I left the door to the coop wide open, but they couldn't find their way back inside.
I had to wait until they roosted on some nearby scrap wood in the evening before I could catch them, one at a time, and return them to the roosts inside the coop. The next day I simply opened the coop door and let them go outside on their own. When they did their own limited exploration, they understood how to get back home in the evening.
Okay then, my bird brains passed that class, Finding Your Coop 101.
Chickens are just like mice, they poop where they eat. It's as if they don't recognize their own food and water. When a chicken needs to go, they'll go in, on, into and on top of anything...they don't care in the least. They give no thought to whether it's where they sleep, eat or simply hang out, if they need to crap, they go ahead and do it. The only place I haven't seen much evidence of this is in the nest boxes. So, perhaps they have a little common sense after all.
Perhaps the most unusual chicken behavior is demonstrated by hens once they get accustomed to your presence. Hens will hunch down and stand right in your pathway as an invitation for you to mate with them. Sometimes they won't move out of the way until you acknowledge their presence in some manner.
Of course, I'm not going to be a particpant in this particular chicken behavior, but I do take the opportunity to pet them and give them some sense of satisfaction by massaging them on either side of their rump. This causes them to lift up their tail feathers as they would when mating with a rooster. Often this seems to satisfy them and then they get out of my way and let me get back to my duties as flock manager.
Again, they're bird brains. They can't figure out that their mate isn't a rather large two-legged creature, wearing glasses, a jacket and a ball cap...and not a single feather on the guy anywhere. Go figure.
Chickens can be easily startled by strange sounds and abrupt movements, so it's best to go slow and easy around your flock. This is especially important if you want to have interactions with your birds. On occasion I'll sit in the chicken yard just to watch my flock and learn more about chicken behavior. As they grow accustomed to me being there, they aren't shy about getting closer, and I always move slow and easy so they get more comfortable with me being there.
You won't find the word "cuddly" in any discussion of chicken behavior, so when it comes to handling your chickens, you have to be in charge. Holding them firmly and comfortably, and talking to them while you hold them is probably the best course of action.
Even children can hold a chicken as long as they know to hold them firmly, yet in a gentle manner. Here's an elementary school child holding a rooster. If there is a bird that doesn't want to be held, it's a rooster to be sure.
Recognize too that chickens have a pecking order.
It's probably the first chicken behavior that any of us learn
about. You can see it as they peck at one another, almost like a big kid
pushing a smaller kid out of the way. It might not be easy to
recognize, but there is a hierarchy in your flock. The hierarchy can be
seen developing even when they're very young birds.
you have a rooster, you might notice the hierarchy one day as the
rooster gets aggressive with you. It makes no difference if you are four to
five feet taller and 25 times his weight, he knows that he is at the top
of the hierarchy, and he's going to show you that you're not!
Sometimes a rooster will raise Hell with you. Just relax, it's normal chicken behavior for male birds. If the rooster gets too bossy for your tastes, butcher 'em and eat 'em, and see if that better suits your tastes. It's a bit of revenge that you can enjoy, and you'll have one less pain in the neck on your hands in the chicken yard.
When introducing new birds into your flock, you'll need to allow them time to adjust the pecking order. This will only take a couple of days or so, but watch them in the meantime.
Your birds will be curious about nearly everything.
So, whatever is in their enclosure, it's going to get pecked, scratched,
shook up, tossed around, and often they'll attempt to eat it unless it's clearly not
edible. That's why you never want to have string laying around
where they can get at it. String usually comes off of feed bags and bales of
hay and straw. Always keep string somewhere your chickens can't get
at it, like in your pocket. If not, at least one member of your flock will get in trouble with it.
Once there was a string attached to a pop top pull ring from a food can, and it found its way into the chicken yard. Soon, I found the pull ring lodged in the mouth of one of my chickens, with the string completely swallowed. I had no alternative except to pull the string out as far as I could, and then cut it. Thankfully the chicken survived her string swallowing act and went back to eating and drinking normally.
Other problems include string wrapped up in their wings, and tied around their feet. It has a way of embedding itself deep into their tissue before you know it, so attention is needed to keep string away from the bird brains.
Small inedible items that can harm your birds should also be kept away to help avoid potential injury. Small nails, and tiny pieces of wire and glass are examples of potential hazards for the curious and omnivorous chicken.
Taking a dust bath is a natural chicken behavior associated with ridding the birds of external parasites. Sometimes it helps them stay cool. Think about getting buried in sand at the beach, and you can imagine the cooling effect. Have a good pile of loose dirt somewhere for your chickens to mess with. If you dig out a shallow depression in the soil, don't be surprised if they recognize that as their designated dust bath location.
Chickens love freshly cultivated soil, whether for dust bathing or scratching up some food.
If you need ground scratchers, chickens might be your best
bet. They do very little all day except scratch the ground in the hope
of turning up a worm, a bug, a tasty piece of gravel or something else
that they can peck at and consume.
As they scratch at the ground, they will uncover things that otherwise would have stayed buried for many years. Belt buckles, glass, toys, hardware, and even a starting pistol have been turned up in my yard thanks to the help of my chickens. You don't even have to ask them to find things - it's part of their natural chicken behavior.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear that these items simply rise up from beneath the soil because my chickens have this magical ability to attract all things buried. If you're looking for things that are buried about six inches below the surface, just start raising chickens - they'll be cheerful archeologists working on your behalf.
There is a downside to all of this scratching. If you allow your birds to run loose in your flower beds, this natural chicken behavior will have them tearing up bedding material, mulch, landscape fabric, and whatever they think is in the way as they search for food. Seedlings don't stand a chance with chickens, they'll scratch them out of the ground, pull them up by the roots, and do their best to act as tiny roto-tillers in places you'd least like to have a roto-tiller.
You'll find that natural chicken behavior includes flying, but they're essentially flightless birds in most situations. If they're crowded up, attacked or otherwise desperately need to get from one place to another, they'll entertain you with low altitude flying. Otherwise, their ability to fly is a bit like a cardboard box...not at all impressive.
If you need to keep your birds from flying, you'll have to clip their wings. It's not difficult to do, and it's very effective at keeping them grounded.
Usually, mixing chickens with other animals is just fine, but you need to be watchful. If left to mingle with my turkeys, the chickens will pluck broken tail feathers out of the large male birds as they spread their fan tails and strut around the yard. Since the female turkeys don't fan their tails and expose their backsides to the chickens, they have no trouble at all.
Oddly enough, the chickens eat the pin feather stubs. I can't think of anything less appealing than the thick stubby quills that come out of the south end of a north bound turkey, but the chickens like them. I'm certain they don't mean any harm, but it clearly is painful for the turkey.
I've had chickens mixed in with my ducks and geese, and they all got along just fine. The only caution I would advise is not having a deep sided pool for ducks where the chickens can fall in, as they're not a water bird and they can't get out of the water nearly as easily as ducks and geese.
Don't worry too much about not having food for your flock because chickens are omnivorous. Be it animal, vegetable or mineral, chickens will try to eat it. It's especially appealing if it moves like bugs and worms.
You'll never see a faster catcher and consumer of mice than a chicken. Three steps and three seconds, and the little field mouse is on its way down the hatch. It's something to behold.
When it comes to chicken behavior at meal times, anything that crawls, slithers or skids
along the ground can appear attractive and a likely source of food. Chances are, your chickens will at least peck at it if not consume it eagerly.
Weeds, extra produce and scrap vegetation from the garden, kitchen scraps, and any type of grain will appeal to chickens. Toss these in with the flock and watch them as they do a good job of picking it clean.
It is very important that you recognize that chickens are blood thirsty
like no pirate or buccaneer ever written about in history and adventure books. If it's a wound, a sore, or just dripping blood, chickens are
going to be there to make it a larger wound, a larger sore, and a more
serious blood flow. Again, it's just chicken behavior, not necessarily something bad, just something we need to be aware of.
This blood thirstiness might explain their interest in pulling out pin feathers from the rump of my turkeys. Often there would be a bit of blood, and they went after that as an encore to pulling out the pin feather.
Chickens like nothing better than blood soaked soil, pools of blood and blood dribbling off of a table to satisfy their taste for it. On rare occasions when I butcher chickens outdoors where the flock is foraging nearby, they had no shyness about running over and getting right in there to share in the blood. I'm convinced they're attracted to it by smell.
Keep an eye on your chickens to make certain there isn't a weak one being pecked to death. A flock of chickens will eat one of their own alive, one small piece at a time. I know it doesn't sound like chicken behavior we're used to seeing from nice fluffy egg layers, but they most certainly are natural cannibals...many animals are.
You most certainly don't want to encourage this type of
behavior as it won't be one chicken picking on an injured bird, the whole
flock will take turns poking a hole in a bird that has a visible
injury, especially one exhibiting blood. For more information, see chickens pecking each other.
Chickens and the places they call home are dusty. It's something that
you can't get away from. Don't ask me where all of the dust comes from,
because I can't tell you for certain. Perhaps it's the dust baths that chickens
When you look at all the dust covering the inside of their coop, you might get the idea that chickens are the origin of dust on this planet. At least that's my explanation and I'm sticking with it.
Well ventilated coops cut down on dusty conditions, especially in the summer months.
Your flock of birds will naturally hunker down at night wherever they choose to roost, so be sure they have a safe place to do it. Once on the roost, they'll likely stay there all night long, no matter what happens around them. This type of chicken behavior is best done at elevated locations. That's what helps keep them safe from prowling predators below.
One evening I noticed that the doorway between two of my chicken yards was closed. That prevented my girls from getting into the coop and hopping up onto the roosts for the night. Instead, they flew up to the top of the fence and perched there. Another one flew up into a tree, and several others simply hopped up onto something higher than the ground to spend the night.
When you're thinking about examining your birds or catching one for treatment of an illness or injury, keep in mind this chicken behavior of roosting and hunkering down in the evening. It's easy to make use of it for when you need to handle your birds. It's very likely that you'll be able to walk right up to them and pick them up because generally they're hunkered down until dawn.
During daylight hours, your chickens will try to evade a predator as best they can if given enough room to run and flap their wings. If they don't have room to evade capture and they get pinned for a moment, they'll usually just give up and let the predator have its way with them. It's an odd chicken behavior, but that's what they do. It's almost like they say, "Yeah, you got me" and then it's all over with.
little dog has run down a few loose chickens (at my request) and when I
catch up with
him, he's simply pinning the chicken and looking back at me with an
expression like, "This one won't run anymore, it's no fun
to play with. Do you have another?" As you can see, this
type of chicken behavior can be exploited when on occasion you
need to round up loose birds.
Give your chickens room to run and they'll stand a better chance of survival if a predator finds a way to get in the yard with them.
Another chicken behavior that I've seen repeatedly is their interest in running water. If you let a hose run water across the ground, they'll follow the leading edges of the water flow like it was alive. They're fascinated by running water and follow it and drink from the leading edge of the stream.
Fresh water is important for good health of your birds, but they'll gladly drink out of a mud puddle if one is handy. Whatever puddle of water is nearby is satisfactory to chickens, much like it is to dogs. If you're going to have puddles of water in with your chickens, they'll be drinking out of them first, and using your water founts only where there isn't any puddle to drink from.
One peculiar chicken behavior pattern is exhibited by hens only. In the absence of nest boxes, hens will lay eggs anywhere. I've seen eggs deposited inside of feeders. This means each hen had to perch on top of the hanging feeder and drop her egg inside of it. Once inside the hanging feeder, eggs are largely hidden from view. If you're thinking that you're being shorted on egg production, just look in the most unusual places, and chances are you'll find a clutch of eggs.
No matter the number of nest boxes, hens will prefer laying their eggs in a nest box that already has eggs. That's why decoy eggs help train hens as to where they should squat and drop. When laying eggs, hens will follow the leader and lay eggs in a clutch where others have done the same thing. Don't concern yourself with adding nest boxes unless you see that all nest boxes are regularly filled with hens.
One of the reasons nest boxes will remain occupied with hens is they can get broody every now and then. Some breeds have a much greater tendency in this area than others. A broody hen is one that won't get off the clutch of eggs and may even peck at you when you try to get under her to collect them. This chicken behavior is usually just a minor inconvenience when gathering eggs and nothing more. When you see a hen camped out in the nest for an hour or so, that's a sign she's getting broody.
As hens mature, they proudly announce they're intentions and accomplishments
by cackling and strutting about. They're clearly very proud about being
egg layers, and they want everyone to know about it...that includes you
and local predators looking for chickens and eggs. As long as they're not screeching, all is well with your flock.
It's a nice feeling
as I sit inside the house writing these pages, listening to my girls outside
cackling and clucking about their ability, interest, and enthusiasm associated with laying eggs. Those are happy sounds here at the Squat and Drop egg production facility.
Are there other chicken behavior traits that one might make note of? Of course there are, but these are the most important ones that I can think of. I'll update this page if other key characteristics come to mind. Until then, enjoy your backyard flock.

Blackpool town centre and promenade was turned into a sea of tangerine as an estimated 3,000 Seasiders fans joined a protest march.
The disgruntled Blackpool FC supporters marched noisily but peacefully to Bloomfield Road to repeat their calls for owners the Oyston family to quit the football club.
Speaker after speaker called for the Oystons to "return the club to the fans", claiming there had been chronic under-investment.
One fan said: "Five years ago we were in the Premier League. Now we are struggling at the bottom of League One and there appears to be no way back under the Oystons."
The mass protest was labelled 'Judgement Day 2' ahead of Pool's final home game of the season, in which they lost 4-0, signalling almost certain relegation. Fans groups the Blackpool Supporters Trust and Tangerine Knights are leading the protests against the Oystons
The march was a follow-up to last season's action.
Fans gathered at the Stanley Arms Pub on Church Street, where the club was formed in 1887, and marched through the town before arriving at Bloomfield Road.
Wilf Brooks, of the Yorkshire Seasiders, addressed the fans before they set off.
He said the club had a long and proud tradition and its founders would be "turning in their graves if they were here to witness the state the club found itself in now."
He said : "Let us show them what true support is.
"Let us be loud and proud within the law and take the higher ground."
The crowd, bearing "Oyston Out" banners and chanting throughout, was largely good-natured in the sunshine as the sea of people grew.
At the Comedy Carpet opposite the Tower, a van belted out David Bowie's Heroes, in tribute to the fans who were determined to see off the Oystons.
The crowd, some bearing smoking flares, then gathered for a noisy demonstration outside the main entrance to the Bloomfield Road ground.
Christine Seddon, of the BST, said she was delighted with the turnout.
"There are 3,000 people here, which is more than last time.
"We want our football club back. Change is coming. Blackpool FC will never die because we (the supporters) are the club."
A plane trailing the sign 'Oystons club killers, get out now' flew over the marchers as the matchday kick off time approached .
Loyal fan Darren Humphries, of Blackpool, said: "I've been a fan for 19 years but I haven't had a season ticket for the last two years.
"My dad died not long ago and I was going to get him a memorial brick at the club but I won't put another penny into this club.
"The Oystons don't seem to treat fans with respect."
Another female fan said: "Karl Oyston seems to like the confrontation.
"He's provocative. That's one of the reasons why we've had enough."
Blackpool South MP Gordon Marsden sent a message to the rally calling for all sides to talk about the way forward.
He said: "Now is the time for the people to be given a bigger say in the running of Blackpool Football Club."
He said "the status quo could not continue" and called for all sides to sit down talk about a way forward.
MP Paul Maynard said: "What I want to see is a club that feels part of the town again, and a town that feels the club is there for Blackpool too."
Steve Rowland, BST chairman said: "We want to say a massive thank you to the thousands of brilliant Blackpool fans who marched on Judgement Day 2.
"What a day!
"A river of pride and passion flowing through the streets of the town to Bloomfield Road.
"That atmosphere is just a taste of what it will be like when we finally get our club back – and we will.
"When the irresistible force meets the immovable object eventually the object is swept away."

CALGARY, A.B. — An oil industry analyst says discounts being paid for western Canadian oilsands crude will remain at high levels because railroads are cranking up their crude-by-rail rates in return for providing railcars.
In a report, Barclays analyst Paul Cheng says he is increasing by US$4.50 per barrel his forecast for the difference between Western Canadian Select oilsands blend and U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate from 2019 to 2022, when new pipelines are expected to come on stream to relieve transportation constraints.
He says industry insiders are reporting that negotiations with rail operators have driven the expected cost of delivering a barrel of WCS by rail from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast up to about US$20.
He says Barclays' forecast for the WCS-WTI differential for this year has therefore been raised to US$24.60 per barrel from US$18.40 per barrel – it was at about US$21.70 on Monday, down from peaks of nearly US$30 in February.
Both Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways have said they will demand long-term take-or-pay contracts and higher rates to add trains and crew members to move oil because they fear the business will evaporate once new export pipelines come on stream.
The International Energy Agency said earlier this month it expects crude-by-rail shipments to more than double over the next two years as a lack of pipeline capacity forces Canadian producers to look to alternatives.
The Paris-based IEA forecasts crude-by-rail exports will grow from 150,000 barrels a day in late 2017 to 250,000 barrels a day this year and then to 390,000 barrels a day in 2019.

Urban Terrorism Returns to Colombia
A terrorist attack on June 17 in the upscale Bogotá, Colombia, shopping mall Centro Andino left three dead and nine injured, one critically. The bombing marks the return of urban terrorism to Colombia's capital city even while the ink is barely dry on the "peace" settlement President Juan Manuel Santos signed in Havana last year with the narcoterrorist group FARC.
Mr. Santos immediately declared the perpetrators of the crime "enemies of peace." Thank you, Captain Obvious. But Colombians are asking who did it, and the answers they're getting are suspiciously murky.
That has given rise to rumors of a cover-up. Yet one thing is certain: Granting impunity for crimes against humanity, as Mr. Santos did for the FARC, has invited more terrorism.
Centro Andino is a national symbol of capitalism and has long been considered a possible terror target. Vehicles entering the parking garage are inspected by police and bomb-sniffing dogs. The areas in and around the mall are blanketed with surveillance cameras. Colombian forensic teams excel at terrorism investigations and count on U.S. technical support for anything they lack. Yet this investigation appears amateurish at best.
Investigators initially said witnesses spotted two suspicious males entering the ladies' room not long before the bomb went off. Normally video footage would be urgently released to enlist the public in finding the suspects.
Instead the investigation team recruited sketch artists to make composite drawings of the men. The Twitter handle @Oskar_Sc captured the ridiculousness of this: "If you spit a piece of chewing gum" in Andino, "security can show the image from four different angles. They make a composite sketch of the attack?"
The sketches were released Tuesday. A day later the government withdrew them and said they weren't official.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but that's not unusual. After the FARC bombed Club El Nogal in 2003 it denied paternity until authorities uncovered documents five years later that proved its guilt for a massacre that killed 36.
The only one to die instantly in the Andino blast was a 23-year-old French national, Julie Huynh. She had been in Colombia for six months doing social work for a nongovernmental organization with links to former FARC guerrillas ostensibly demobilized under the Santos agreement. On June 8 she reportedly took a trip to Cuba. She was at the mall with her mother and planned to leave Colombia within days.
Counterterrorism 101 teaches that in any terrorist attack, those closest to the explosion are prime suspects until they can be cleared. Huynh had to have been near the bomb; the other two women died from their wounds at the hospital. Yet the investigation has produced nothing substantive about any of the victims.
Investigators have said the bomb used ammonia nitrate, a notoriously unstable compound. Whoever took it into a closed area like a bathroom probably was not an explosives expert.
On Wednesday the Colombian news outlet RCN reported in vague terms that the medical examiner found no traces of bomb residue on any of the bodies, a claim that is not credible. When asked, the medical examiner wouldn't confirm that claim, saying only that he made a report to the attorney general's office. No one answered that office's public-affairs lines when I called on Friday, and no report has been made public.
The FARC's reaction to Huynh's death has been intriguing. It has oozed sympathy on social media for her but has not mentioned the other victims. A photo of her posted by the FARC contains its seal in the lower left corner. Perhaps unfairly, Colombians are recalling the story of Tanja Nijmeijer, the Dutch national who arrived in Colombia in 2000 under a "social worker" cover and turned out to be a ruthless terrorist.
On Wednesday the police announced arrest warrants for five men and one woman who it said are members of People's Revolutionary Movement (MRP), an offshoot of the Marxist National Liberation Army (ELN). On Saturday it said it arrested four men and four women alleged to be MRP members involved in the crime. Some were reportedly captured in a town known as a FARC stronghold. It is worth noting that MRP bombings until now have been low-power, nonlethal events in which pamphlets were left behind—very different than Andino.
Huynh's proximity to the bomb may have been pure coincidence. But the failure to conduct a professional investigation muddies the waters.
Mr. Santos warned Colombians last year that if the FARC isn't appeased, it will return to urban warfare. Recently the attorney general said that the FARC's wealth has been uncovered and will be confiscated to compensate its victims. Colombians could be forgiven for fearing that at Centro Andino the FARC responded.

left-hand luke and the beggar boys
I think it has been--and mind you that this is only a rough approximation--a century and a half straight since I have gotten any sleep. Move the tea bag from the cup to the plate, pour the wine, lean back, have a smoke, think a little. Resurrect a meal from the dead.
No, but seriously. I had chicken soup at the Thai wholesale market in Chelsea the other afternoon in a rare lunchtime hour interlude, and was (not surprisingly) unable to finish the straight-up trough of broth and noodle-y deliciousness that they plunked down in front of me. Luckily, it took only fifteen minutes and a few key ingredients to bring the remainders right back to life again in the form of a fragrant, salty, slurp-worthy soup.
You Will Need:
1 bunch scallions
1 bunch bean sprouts
1 large carrot
1 head broccoli
left over, pre-cooked rice noodles from Thai place
3 cups chicken broth
cardamom to taste
garlic powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
To Make:
Bring the chicken broth to a slow simmer. Slice and dice the carrots and broccoli up into whatever size you feel like eventually fitting into your mouth. Drop them into the broth (pop one of two into your mouth as you go...it's your right as the cook!). Shake in a bit of cardamom, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Don't worry about precision, to be exact is to be a fool! Cover the dish; let simmer. Dice the scallions, wash and strain the bean sprouts. Add them to the concoction, which should be smelling pretty delicious about now. Cover everything and let it simmer until the carrots and broccoli are soft (this will happen faster than you expect). Once the broth and vegetables are cooked, dump in the left-over noodles. Cover and let simmer until the mixture is completely warmed through. Stir, serve, and enjoy!

There is nothing better than having a daily reminder of life's important messages to keep you grounded and centered in this crazy world. That is exactly what student's walked away with after completing the Message In a Bottle workshop held at Queen's Ink. Deb provided instructions to transform a blank canvas into a beautiful piece of art work. Students used painting techniques to layer color and create depth, as well as decoupage techniques to add special messages and wisdom cards. At the end of day, everyone had a beautiful piece of artwork that showcased their creative talent and personal insight.

Not only did the duo secure the top prize; they upset the odds and for the second consecutive day caused Claudiomiro Segatta heartaches.
In a group organised event, with both teams unbeaten heading into the final contest, the Czech duo, the second seeds, recorded a two-one success against top seeded partnership formed by Claudiomiro Segatta and Chile's Cristian Gonzalez Astete.
Mainstay of the victory was Rene Taus; he combined with Jiri Zak to win the doubles (11-9, 11-7, 11-3), before defeating Cristian Gonzalez Astete (11-8, 11-7, 11-7) in the vital third match of the fixture. Sandwiched in between Claudiomiro Segatta had accounted for Jiri Zak by the very narrowest of five game margins (8-11, 11-2, 9-11, 11-6, 11-9).
"I'm glad I did so well here in Ostrava. It was a great tournament, everything was fine; Jiri and myself played well together in the team competition, it was great." Rene Taus
"Winning the doubles was key in the final; good co-operation was vital, it is a huge success." Jiri Zak
Success against expectations for Rene Taus and Jiri Zak; in the other Men's Team wheelchair categories it was success for the top seeded outfits and better news for Brazil.
Welder Knaf, who had beaten Japan's Shinichi Yoshida in Men's Class 3 final, joined forces with his earlier adversary to win Men's Team Class 3; the top seeds they recorded two matches to nil victories in every fixture. In an impressive manner they beat Poland's Mariusz Czerwinski and Jenson Van Emburgh of the United States in the final.
The win meant Welder Knaf departed Ostrava with two titles and without a defeat against his name. It was the same for Poland's Rafael Czuper. Success against the Czech Republic's Jiri Suchanek in the Men's Singles Class 2 final; in Men's Team Class 1-2 he allied with colleague Tomasz Jakimczuk to claim the top prize.
Partnering compatriot Martin Zvolanek, once again Jiri Suchanek had to settle for silver but he had the consolation of extracting the one and only win against the champions in elect. In the second match in the final, he beat Tomasz Jakimczuk (11-6, 8-11, 10-12, 11-2, 11-8).
Meanwhile, in the one remaining event in the Men's Team wheelchair categories; it was success for combination of Croatia's Tomislav Spalj and Poland's Krszysztof.
In a group organised event, the finished in first place in Class 4 ahead the Slovak outfit who selected from Peter Mihalik, Andrej Meszarosz and Boris Travnicek. Third place was the lot of Romania's Ioan Dirlea and Petru Ifrosa.
