Ford Motor,
first quarter,
Alan Mulally,
North America,
South America
CHICAGO Ford Motor Co. recorded net income of $1.61 billion in the first quarter of 2013, up 15.4 percent year over year, on sales that grew 10.5 percent to $35.8 billion.
"Our strong first-quarter results provide further proof that our One Ford plan continues to deliver," president and chief executive officer Alan Mulally said in an April 24 statement. "Our plan remains centered on serving customers in all markets around the world."
For the three months ended March 31, Fords wholesale volume and revenue were each more than 10 percent higher than a year ago, primarily due to strong performances in North America and the Asia Pacific/Africa regions, the company said.
Meanwhile, losses in Europe and South America contributed to decreases in total automotive pre-tax profit and operating margins in the quarter, the company said.
North American unit sales improved 16.9 percent to 761,000 vehicles last quarter, generating revenues that grew 19.9 percent to $22.3 billion. Favorable market factors in North America were offset slightly by higher costs reflecting Fords investment in new products and growth, as well as higher pension expenses.
Ford made $1.8 billion in cash contributions to its worldwide funded plans during the quarter as part of its strategy to mitigate risk in its pension obligations.
Fords full-year 2013 guidance for North America remains unchanged, with its pre-tax profits expected to be equal to that of 2012.
However, the automaker reported a $462-million pre-tax loss in its European operations, more than triple its $149-million loss in the same period last year. The company also lost $218 million in its South American operations, compared with a $54-million gain a year ago.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Outfielder Corey Hart expects to return to action tomorrow when the Milwaukee Brewers open a three-game series in New York.
Hart was held out of the series against Washington because of a sore right wrist.
He says it's been bugging him for three weeks, but with some rest, Hart says he'll be ready by tomorrow.
Hart is one of six outfielders on the roster.

In search of United's whipping boys and bogey teams away from home, we've sent our elves down the statistical mineshaft for nuggets of pure gold...
Some of this you'll know instinctively – no Red need stretch their memory to know Villa and Goodison Park have been near away-day bankers in recent times. But some stats you may find more surprising...
Top Six Whipping Boys (by win percentage)
You've gotta love Liverpool. Well, maybe that's going a shade too far, but we certainly love going there for the day. Everton are way out in front as our easy away day, while Liverpool also make it into the top six. Okay, we admit it, that's why we made it a top six!
Everton (81.2%)
Aston Villa (68.7%)
Tottenham Hotspur (62.5%)
Fulham (57.1%)
Sunderland (57/1%)
Liverpool (56.2%)
Top Six Bogey Teams (by loss ratio)
Steady on, Pompey. They're way ahead, albeit over fewer games (six) than most and even taking into account the Reds' win last month. The usual suspects are also here, including City and Liverpool (but at least we only lose one in four at Anfield).
Portsmouth (50%)
Arsenal (37.5%)
Chelsea (37.5%)
Man City (36.3%)
Blackburn (28.5%)
Liverpool (25%)
Top Six Goals For (per game)
You wouldn't know it from last year, but the Reebok's still the place for goals in Red. Bolton won't get away with assault tactics again and United average better than three goals to one against the Trotters. You'd

Why Are Men So Needy?
I'm a stay at home fiancee? My fiancee works from home so were together constantly. I cook everything that he eats. I wake up. Shower. Cook him whatever he wants for breakfast. He is 6'7" 185 so he usually eats it all. I eat cereal. I start cleaning while I wait on him hand and foot. at 12pm I start to cook lunch. he's eating by 1. I start cleaning again and I'm usually done by 2. I go out with friends and get back by 5. Dinners ready by 7:30. Twice a week he goes to his office. I bring him lunch there. Twice a week his nephew comes over which means I have to get him from the next town over. Wake up at six to get him ready for school. Take him to school. And get him from after care at his school in the next town over. Also I do laundry every Monday and Thursday. I have no problem with any of this. I'm a "bred housewife" as my dad would say. lol. My problem is him wanting sex twice a day. Am I being dramatic? Or do you guys see the problem?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
He may be the one who's earning money, but you're working full time waiting on him hand and foot and driving his guests around. How do two people create enough mess to require you to clean for hours each day anyhow? Even if you're happy to fill the housewife role, that doesn't mean you should let him walk all over you. He needs to be taking your needs into account as well. So if you're feeling tired and busy, let him know, and come up with a compromise. You shouldn't feel that you MUST have sex with him at one time or another. The fact that he talked you out of college is a red flag to me. I feel like he's trying to trick you into becoming his housekeeper without much regard for your feelings or respect for you as a person. The fact that you feel stuck is a bad sign. It's not too late for you to go to college and do the things that you want to do. Don't stay with him just for financial support; it's not worth sacrificing your life and goals that are important to you just to escape financial worries.My advice to you is to stand up for yourself more and go after what you want. If he really cares about you, he will be cooperative and support you in your endeavors. If you need to get your own job to support yourself through college or allow you more freedom, do it. It doesn't bode well for your relationship if he only wants to be with you if you'll cook and clean for him. You're already feeling frustrated and trapped, so make some changes while you can. Don't marry him while you're unhappy, that will secure things as they are. If you can't fix the relationship so both of you are happy in it, don't go making it into a legally binding lifelong committment. if you can fix the relationship so both of you are getting what you need, great.
What Guys Said 3
Your fiancee is lazy as hell, and suddenly you generalize all men as needy, really?I'm sorry, its blunt but it's the truth. Don't be his mama, tell him to get off his ass and stop babysitting him if your tired of it. If he works from home there isn't any reason he can't at least attempt to help out.
Hmmm...well if you did not work so hard every day...would twice a day sex still be too much? I certainly would not need sex twice a day nowadays...but at that age..yeah I would have liked sex twice a day...liking & getting are two different things tho... I read male ANON below...sounds like you two are almost ready for counseling and haven't even had your honeymoon yet...boy I wouldn't marry someone unless I was SURE! I was 38 when I got married...and it's not easy...my boy is Special Needs (autistic) the stats say that 90% of Special Needs marriages end in divorce. One of the worst killers of marriages is taking your spouse for granted. But you two sound like you are almost there. Better step up the communication or maybe get counseling...or throw in the towel...
i dnt really want to give up on him. I graduated high school with a 3.8 and let him talk me out of college...im stuck. I have to make the best of it and I guess teach him to appreciate me. so 16years from now he can go around tellin how much he loves me.
The LAST thing I wish to do...is feel like I talked you out of a perfectly good relationship...but there are problems here...it is not anywhere NEAR too late to go to college...u are not stuck but the fact that you said "stuck" is an ominous sign to me...the first five years of marriage really should be pretty blissful...it is in that 7-10 year range that interest frequently starts to wane.
Isn't that what a housewife is suppose to do? You're staying at home and not working so I think it's right for him to be able to have his stuff when he needs it. Sorry if I sound rude but if I woman doesn't have a job then doing the home chores should be their job. If the man wants a sammich,make him a freaking sammich. :D
lol. I do. without complaints. just yesterday he asked for tea. I said were out. he was like how about makin some? and I did. my problem is that he wants sex at in the afternoon and at nite!
- Show Older Hide Older
yeah. its a promise from high school. but yeah. ill ask him:)
Alright,well good luck.
What Girls Said 3
He wants sex twice a day? or you do?
He does
- Show Older Hide Older
we have sex everyday but twice a day is just a little much
Yea. That shouldn't be a big deal. I know that after having sex for a long time my va jj can hurt too, so doing it twice a day is a little much. Well, if you do it every day neways.
Wow... sounds like you're a super lady provider in his eyes. Did he ever consider you like a fiancee at all? Or just someone that serves him like a servant at home including desert twice a day? I think he's not treating you so well... you should start being difficult and show him how you feel. You're not an animal or a machine. You should be given as much love as you're giving him.And NO you're DEFINITELY NOT being dramatic. He's a big problem imo.
Excuse me! You knew before that he likes sex twice a day & had no problem with it. You probably enjoyed it. You still should. Making a few meals a day, cleaning & driving a child to & from school, & doing laundry both only twice a week, while getting to go out with friends in the afternoon tires you out? Honey, I work 45 hour + every week, raised 2 kids, made breakfast, packed lunches & made supper everyday, & took them to school everyday. And did the laundry & cleaned the house. I had & still have sex twice a day, because I want too. It isn't a chore! If you don't want to, don't do it.
Bitter? I have no problem with what I do for him. I was raised that way. Sometimes yes we did have sex twice a day. When I felt like it. Now he wants that to be the minimum. I'm 4'11" 134(9lbs overweight. shh). he's 6'7" 185. I don't want him all over me twice a day everyday. and yes I make 3 meals a day everyday. he hasn't had fast food in 2Years. I take great care of him and he returns it financially. And why not hang out with my friends. they don't work either. I just want to be appreciated.
- Show Older Hide Older
ohmygod yes. with all my heart. sometimes I get upset and say things like the "3yrs and a range rover later" comment but he's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I needed that question:) you have me bawlin and here. reality check...
I know, sometimes we do feel under appreciated & sometimes just "used," like the help. I think that's the time to have a very gentle talk with him & say baby, we need to get back to "us," so we don't lose what we have. I wouldn't let lose on him about feeling like hired help, he won't take that well, but if you want both of you to appreciate each other more & such, it might be good. Do it in a loving way. Maybe with wine & dessert? We all feel this at times, guys too. Good luck.

Via Gamedayr:
The United States Hockey League, the top junior ice hockey league in the country, held their annual draft on Monday and Tuesday.
For the most part, it proceeded as it typically would in any given year. That is, until, one of the very last picks.
Prior to the draft, a young man by the name of Jack Jablonski took to Twitter to let USHL teams know that he was eligible for this year's draft:
Dear USHL teams, Just thought I'd let u know I am eligible for tomorrow's draft. Sincerely Jack Jablonski— Jack Jablonski (@Jabs_13) May 7, 2013
If you aren't familiar with Jablonski, he suffered a horrendous injury during a Minnesota high school hockey game that left him paralyzed.
He's received tons of support since, even from hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and all-world running back Adrian Peterson.
It was on Tuesday night, however, that his dreams came true. The Chicago Steel stepped up to the plate and drafted Jablonski with their last pick of the draft.
With the final pick the Steel draft Jack Jablonski. Congrats @jabs_13 on becoming a member of the Steel!— Chicago Steel (@ChicagoSteel) May 8, 2013
For a kid who once had the world ahead of him on the ice, yet had it ripped away in a mere second, this moment will never be forgotten.
Best night ever. #steel— Jack Jablonski (@Jabs_13) May 8, 2013
Sports have an ability to lift people up and take away the pain, if only for a second.
A fantastic display by the Chicago Steel.

PLA Leadership Development
PLA is dedicated to empowering public librarians with the skills necessary to be innovative and successful leaders of change. Under guidance from the PLA Leadership Development Committee, the association offers leadership programming centered around the PLA Leadership Model, originally developed by Dr. Adam Goodman, director, Center for Leadership, Northwestern University and the 2009 PLA Leadership Task Force.
In developing the model, the team outlined the "new normal" for public libraries. This new normal highlights five forces that influence and have an impact on library strategy and services.
Force 1 The Nature and Change of Pace
Force 2 The Evolving Role of the Public Library
Force 3 Building Community
Force 4 Asset Driven Impact
Force 5 The Challenge for Leadership
PLA Leadership Model: Navigating 21st Century Libraries
The PLA Leadership Model address four spheres of leadership and offers insights to consider when developing leadership skills:
- Self: How does the individual assess personal strengths and become an agent?
- Acting with integrity/self awareness
- Developing individual coaching and mentoring networks
- Organization: How does a leader guide an organization through change and help the organization adapt to constant change as the new normal?
- Discovering new ideas
- Building vision
- Operating strategically
- Taking risks and seizing opportunities
- Community: How does the library help address community issues and goals, developing partnerships that build communities and the library's role within the community?
- Working with and through others
- Building and leveraging relationships
- Understanding and communicating from the customer's perspective
- Delivering impact and results based on a vision
- Cross-cutting abilities: How does an individual develop a skills portfolio to lead in each of the identified spheres, moving quickly and seamlessly among them as needed?
- Anticipating and leading change
- Recognizing and growing potential in others
PLA Leadership Academy
With support from an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant and in partnership the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), PLA is excited to offer the 2015 PLA Leadership Academy: Navigating Change and Building Community, March 23–27, in Charleston, S.C. Attendance is selective and will be limited to 32. This special event will offer intensive, empowering leadership education for public librarians who want to increase their capacity to lead not only within the library, but also in the community. The academy offers: a three and a half day, in-person educational/networking event; a professional coach program with experienced public library leaders and city managers; and development of real-world projects to implement at attendees' libraries.
For this selective program, registration fees (valued at $2,500) are waived and all meals will be provided; however participants will be required to cover travel costs and lodging at the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, S.C. The deadline to submit an application and letters of recommendation has now passed. Applicants will receive an update on their status on November 21, 2014. Attendance is selective and will be limited to thirty-two (32).
Some of the fellows from the 2013 academy contributed statements about putting the leadership education into practice back at their libraries and achieving some incredible things. We've selected a few to offer an idea of what's possible when library professionals become leaders not only in their libraries, but also in their communities.
- Martha Baden, Prescott (Ariz.) Public Library
- Michael Beck, Scottsdale (Ariz.) Public Library
- Toby Greenwalt, formerly Skokie (Ill.) Public Library, currently Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

(CBS) - U.S. troops landed Wednesday among refugees who remain stranded and starving on a mountaintop in Iraq.
Several thousand ethnic Yazidis ran to Mount Sinjar after an Islamic extremist group known as ISIS overran much of northern Iraq. President Barack Obama ordered airstrikes last week to push ISIS back.
A team of about 20 American Green Berets has just completed a reconnaissance mission on Mount Sinjar. They spent nearly the entire day trying to determine what it will take to get thousands of desperate refugees off the mountain.
Until now, the U.S. has relied on nightly air drops of food and water to keep the refugees alive, but that will soon be replaced by a rescue operation that will put American troops in harm's way.
An advance team of Marine Osprey vertical takeoff and landing aircraft plus several detachments of Green Berets arrived Tuesday in Erbil in northern Iraq to draw up plans to both airlift refugees off the mountain and establish a land corridor they can take to safety.
Both plans will have to contend with ISIS fighters who have laid siege to the mountains and are firing both on the refugees and on helicopters. U.S. warplanes have been conducting strikes against ISIS positions around the mountains since last weekend and more strikes would almost certainly be part of a rescue operation.
The U.S. military has done this before. After the first Gulf War in 1991, Saddam Hussein drove thousands of Kurds into the mountains of southern Turkey and the U.S. mounted a rescue operation that first delivered supplies to the refugees in the mountains and them brought them down to tent cities.
This time it is ISIS that has driven civilians into the mountains, and this time the U.S. will be joined by Britain, France and Australia as well as Iraqi and Kurdish forces. But as always, it is the American military that has unique capabilities like the Osprey, which can fly faster and farther than any other helicopter.
Obama has promised not to send American troops back into combat in Iraq, but one of his top advisers said Wednesday this would be a rescue operation and that makes it different.
However, we learned late Wednesday that the Green Berets' reconnaissance mission found far fewer refugees than feared. As a result, a rescue mission is far less likely.

Hi - I had just received my purchase which is a necklace and a bracket from Wedding Factory Direct. The items were lovely but unfortunately, the clasp on the necklace is stuck and I am unable to put it apart in order to wear it. Have sent an email to them but the only advise I received was to pull it firmly. Unfortunately, pulling it firmly doesn't help at all. I have tried for hours and have people helping me to pull the clasp apart but without any success. So, for now, I could only admire it. Very disappointed. Hopefully, the customer service will advice me on the next step to replace it.

text: Obama Admin Announces 'Retroactive' Obamacare Subsidies Print article Send a Tip by Wynton Hall 28 Feb 2014 post a comment On Thursday, the Obama administration quietly announced it will allow consumers in states with busted Obamacare websites to retroactively bag taxpayer-funded insurance subsidies, even if they purchased health insurance outside the Obamacare marketplace. The move by the Obama administration will help Democratic candidates facing voters irate over Obamacare by now retroactively cutting checks to citizens in states with broken Obamacare websites. As CBS News reports, "Those who stand to benefit the most are Democratic governors who plunged ahead and ran into problems" because "Republican governors basically defaulted to federal control of online sign-ups in their states." Democratic Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber was ecstatic, especially since his state's failed Obamacare website has yet to enroll a single person online, even though his state scored $304 million in federal grants to build its busted Obamacare website. "I applaud the federal government for its efforts to make this financial assistance available for more Oregonians," Kitzhaber said. The latest unilateral Obamacare change comes on the heels of 28 others. Republicans have blasted Obama for what it considers unconstitutional changes to a law without the consent of Congress. The procedures for how exactly customers will claim retroactive taxpayer-funded subsidy checks is presently unclear. "We recognize that some states have experienced difficulties in processing automated eligibility determinations and enrollments, and (are) providing options to marketplaces to ensure eligible consumers have access to financial assistance and issuers are paid," said the Obama administration in a statement.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- State Rep. Brett Hulsey has pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct citation after police accused him of flipping a boy off his inner tube and taking pictures of him at a Madison beach last month.
According to a police report, the 9-year-old boy was swimming with friends at the beach on the evening of July 4. The boy told police Hulsey flipped him off his inner tube, then walked up onto the beach and took pictures of him with his cell phone.
Hulsey tells The Associated Press the boy was splashing other children from his tube and Hulsey was concerned about their safety. He says he shouldn't have flipped the boy off the tube.
He says the boy inadvertently ended up in a picture he took of the sunset.

Okay so let's lighten things up today. I'm linking up with Kathy for her epic confessions.
I'm telling you my email banter back and forth with y'all on a daily basis that is where the "spark" for the majority of my posts come from. Tracey (seriously read her blog y'all she cracks me up especially with her WTF posts) "secondhand embarrassment" I just about died laughing when I read that one. She is also who I linked up with yesterday because we had an odd cosmic connection in our posts about female positivity.
Anyways, she emailed me the other day and asked about how to pose for pictures. After my dress posts where I took the plunge by being in front of the camera instead of snapping quick full length mirror outfit posts. She asked if I could do a post since her Wedding and Honeymoon are rapidly approaching about how to pose well for pictures.
I mean I can't tell you how excited I get when people ask for specific posts! Well Tracey this been many years in the making. Let's see how it all started.....
My advice (I mean you can take all of this with a grain of salt) is to find your side. Mine is my left side. It's basically my bangs side. Mark is well trained he wouldn't dare come on that side. A quick stroll through my FB pics and you will see a common trend (not going to lie this is kinda embarrassing).
I also am going to say two things before we dive in.....#1 I hope you don't think I'm narcissistic I promise I think learning how to pose for pictures is important. #2 you are going to be super sick of staring at this mug by the end of it.
Side note get a group of girls together for a group picture and watch the chaos ensue. We had our group pics for Pure Barre and everyone had their side. Thank goodness it all worked out because I sure as heck wasn't getting on the right side of the picture ;-) By the end of training we all had our "assigned" places. You think I'm joking watch the next time a group of girls gets to together for a picture....hair flip here, adjustment here and strategic placements all around.
Unless you are wonderfully gifted enough to have both sides just as gorgeous...well...congratulations.
Let's test the theory and see what happens when I'm caught off guard and not on my comfortable side.
"Well Amanda!" you're asking "what if someone steals my side??" I'm so glad you asked. My favorite client from St. Pete at the opening party wanted a pic and clearly marked her side (we are being honest right ladies?) I mean I know it's her side bang side and she was showing off the great cutout dress. So instead of really angling myself on my particularly bad side I tried to angle myself more straight on and pulled my arm into my side. See even though I'm not on my "go to" side it still came out pretty good right and much better than the one above it. (<3 you Meghan!)
Since my sister is a good sport let me show you the progression of her at this wedding. This is an important thing (especially for brides who are picking one shoulder dresses for their bridesmaids). These dresses were pretty and yes! not some odd color I mean black is so easy to coordinate with! (Thanks Tara! :-) They did have a lot of fabric so if you weren't careful this could happen especially on the non fabric shouldered side. Please excuse the overly tan skin I was going through a phase.
Anything that is the closest to the camera is going to take on the most space. Example more straight on (my sister in the red dress).
Versus a tiny bit turned in. See the difference?
Here is another example of camera angling.
Finally one more example of angling in group shots.
Now what to do about that arm???? I really hate the side arm hand on hip pose but it's difficult to not have your arm look ten times it's size but just laying it against your body. Start to play around with some poses and see what feels comfortable for you.
Remember whatever is closest to the camera is going to look the biggest. So if you are the unfortunate one on the outskirts of the picture try to back up a little or angle yourself more in. Dreaded outside booth camera angle shot....clearly I look comfortable.
How to position your legs. Same idea goes. If you face both your legs straight onto the camera probably not going to be the best. Try placing one in front of the other or shifting more weight into the back foot.
To smile or not to smile. I can't not smile in a picture....I look like a serial killer.
It totally may work for you though! With this first photo sesh I did experiment with a few not so smiley pictures and I think they came out pretty well. I tried to focus more with my eyes and to shift my mind away from thinking about smiling otherwise I looked once again like I was angry. See a little better!
Here are some cardinal rules for people when I ask them to take my picture (I know I'm sorry I'm crazy but y'all in all fairness already knew that.
#1 If I'm Standing You Best Not Be Sitting
I mean hello that leads to THE WORST ANGLES. Nobody looks good being photographed from the down up.
#2 Back the Heck Up
Nobody likes pictures super close up. I look so uncomfortable and slightly possessed.
#3 If You're Taking A Group Shot Please Shoot Us From The Middle.
Nobody likes to be the awkward one on the side getting the bad camera angle.
#4 If you are the only two around pick the person with the longest arm
I dare say that might be me but that would totally mess up my angle. Therefore Mark gets the assignment when in a pinch.
#5 Sometimes It's Just Not Going to Happen
Sometimes you are going to get the one person who just can't get it right. Case in Point....the drunk guy in the lobby of the Waldorf after we got engaged. He kept on shouting "kiss her like you mean it" "work the camera" "wait stay right there I want to frame the tree in the background". I mean the perfectionist in me was screaming but at least we got to capture the moment
Phew that was long! I'm not going to lie I could have used so many more examples but I quit while I was ahead. I guess the takeaway is to stand up straight, pull your shoulders back and find your side. Also try to relax and be yourself because those are generally the best pictures!
So am I just a cray cray total perfectionist or do y'all have a certain way that you take pictures???? You can take all of these with a grain of salt because clearly I am not a model (nor could ever be one with tendencies to trip over my own two feet all the time). I just thought it would be fun to show how different pictures can look by just tweaking a few things and working with angles. I love linking up with Kathy because I get to spill all my secrets with you on a weekly basis! This week I really put it all out there!
Don't forget you can link up with me this Friday for your Friday Favorites!!! xoxoxo

I share Fredriks opinion here, I wouldn't stretch to Mesopetamia though ;)
Sure the clip is a couple of years old, but this is the typical narrowminded way of thinking when it comes to blaming videogames for school shoot outs
it was the same thing when movies became violent
If you lose your voices you should adopt a voice system like what Stephen Hawkins has. Could be fun thing to try in the podcast if possible anyways.
Regarding Mecca; no non-Muslim is allowed into this city of 2 million people. Since music is haram (=forbidden) in Islam there will not be any concert there (or anywhere in Saudi for that matter) until Islam falls. Of course /Muslim/ journalists report from Mecca, especially during the pilgrimage, but you will not see a lot of reports of the horrible stuff such as pilgrims crushed to death etc.

Juliet -Nearly a Vet
Purchase this book
Hi! I'm Juliet. I'm ten years old. And I'm nearly a vet!
It's Spring and all the animals on Maisy's farm are having babies. Maisy says I can stay for a whole week and help out. There are chicks and ducklings hatching, orphan lambs to feed, and I can't wait for Bella to have her calf!
So many exciting adventures for a trainee vet!
Hi! I'm Juliet. I'm ten years old. And I'm nearly a vet!
A terrible bushfire has struck and Mum's vet clinic is in chaos. Every day more and more injured baby animals arrive. Chelsea and I have never been busier! There's an adorable baby koala to feed by hand, a fat little wombat to bandage, and a funny blue-tongued lizard that Max is determined to make his pet.
But who knew that babies needed so much feeding! I may never sleep again!
It's the holidays and we're going camping by the beach. I'm bringing my vet-kit in case of any animal emergencies. Vets needs to be prepared for anything! I can't wait to toast marshmallows by the campfire, swim in the sea and explore the rock-pools – there are so many amazing animals at the beach.
Chelsea and I really want to see a dolphin or a whale.
I've won a competition to be a zookeeper for a day! My best friend Chelsea is coming too. I can't wait to learn all about the zoo animals. There will be meerkats, tigers and penguins to feed. And maybe some zoo vets who need some help (I must remember my vet-kit!).
Most exciting of all, there's a baby elephant due to be born!
Meet Juliet. She's funny. She's ten years old. And she's nearly a vet …
There was a huge storm last night and now there are lots of lost dogs. One turned up outside my window (he must have known I'm nearly a vet and could help him). Luckily, Chelsea, Mum and I are helping out at the Lost Dogs' Home.
I hope we can find all of their owners, because what will we do if we can't? Dad definitely won't let us have another dog!

Steve Parish Story Books:
In Clever Clownfish, a lonely little fish leaves his anemone to travel across the reef in search of a friend. After seeing many other beautiful fish, he finally finds a female of his own kind.
Clownfish live on coral reefs. They shelter in sea anemones and their skin is covered with mucus that protects them from the venom in the anemones' tentacles. They feed on plankton, algae and small invertebrates.
In Cranky Crocodile, a mother saltwater crocodile worries about her babies' safety and sets out to make sure they are secure.
Saltwater crocodiles are also known as estuarine crocodiles because they live in fresh and brackish water as well as salt water. A female lays 40 to 60 eggs in a large nest mound. The eggs take about 90 days to hatch and the mother must protect them carefully. When the young hatch they make chirping sounds, which is a signal for the mother to dig them out and carry them to the water in her mouth.
In Little Devils, the animals learn that courage is needed in times of danger, even if noisy Tasmanian devils can be hard to live with.
Tasmanian devils are Australia's largest marsupial carnivores. They hunt and kill prey but they also scavenge and eat carrion. Young Tasmanian devils are at first carried in a backward-facing pouch, and later left in the den while their mother hunts. They become independent less than a year after they are born.
In Brave Koala, a young koala decides he is ready to explore the world by himself.
The koala is a marsupial — a mammal that raises its young, called a joey, in a pouch or fold of skin. A newborn joey climbs through its mother's fur to the pouch, where it stays for 6 months. When a joey leaves the pouch, it will stay with its mother, hitching rides on her back, until it is about 12 months old.
In Wonderful Wallaby, a young bridled nailtail wallaby has been spotted by a hungry wedge-tailed eagle. Fortunately, the Mareeba rock-wallaby comes to the rescue.
The bridled nailtail wallaby is found only in and around a national park in central Queensland. The Mareeba rock-wallaby is found in a small area of north Queensland.
In Dolphin's Rescue, the young dolphin we met in Dolphin's Triumph discovers her friend in danger. She must find a way to help, and quickly. Then she remembers what her mother taught her.
The bottlenose dolphin communicates using high-pitched whistles, squeaks, creaks and clicks. It uses those sounds to make sense of the underwater world using echolocation: sending sounds that bounce off an object back to the dolphin, which then interprets the sound.
In Wombat's Friend, the wombat we met in Wombat's Secret is told she's strange because of her friendship with the wallaby. She must work out what is important to her — the opinions of others, or her friendship.
There are three species of wombat — the common wombat (the main character in this story and the wombat who falls asleep are both common wombats), the southern hairy-nosed wombat (like the wombat who calls her strange), and the rare northern hairy-nosed wombat.
In Little Penguins, two young brothers compete with each other in everything they do. But they take it one step too far and finally have to admit they need help.
Little penguins are seabirds that cannot fly. They are the smallest of all penguins at about 40 cm tall and 1 kg in weight. Little penguins live and breed on the south coast of the Australian mainland, on the Tasmanian coastline, and on several islands south of Australia. Little penguins eat fish, squid and krill, and can be seen at dusk waddling up the beach to their burrows, often in sand dunes, where they build their nests.
In Cheeky Kookaburra, a young kookaburra enjoys being the comedian of his family. But when he has something important to say, no-one takes him seriously!
The laughing kookaburra is the largest member of the kingfisher family. It is well known for its cry, which sounds like laughter. The cry of the blue-winged kookaburra is higher in pitch. Kookaburras call to claim their territory, which they share with family members. The white kookaburra is an albino that Steve Parish photographed at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria.
In Beautiful Butterfly, we have taken some liberties with nature — you won't find all the insects in this story living together in the same habitat. But in the world of the Beautiful Butterfly, who learns her lesson about vanity and pride the hard way, anything is possible.
The iridescent blue and black ulysses butterfly is a swallowtail butterfly from the wet tropical rainforest of northern Queensland. The dull brown underside of the wings helps to camouflage this large butterfly that has a wingspan of about 10 cm.
In Dolphin's Triumph, a baby dolphin learns that determination pays off. She practices swimming fast until she can leap from the water and fly through the air in an arch.
Bottlenose dolphins are marine mammals. They live in the sea, breathe air, and have warm blood. Baby marine mammals (called calves) drink their mother's milk. Dolphins enjoy swimming fast, surfing the waves, and leaping out of the water.
In Spiky Echidna, a baby echidna gets a piece of wire caught in between his spines. It takes a friendly possum to pull it out for him.
The short-beaked echidna is a mammal called a monotreme (meaning "one hole" — it has one vent through which everything, including eggs and waste matter, passes). Its young hatches from a leathery-shelled egg then stays in the small, backward-facing pouch until its spines develop. If it is threatened, an echidna will roll up into a spiky ball on hard ground or dig quickly into soft ground.
In Splash the Platypus, Splash and the other platypuses learn that it can be useful to be a little bit different.
Platypuses are egg-laying mammals called monotremes. They live in burrows beside creeks and waterholes and have thick, waterproof fur that keeps them warm when they hunt for food under water.
In Possum's Plunge, two species of possums find they are not so different after all, despite the gossip each has heard about the other.
Pygmy-possums are approximately 7 cm long. The much larger brushtail possums are approximately 55 cm long. Both possums are nocturnal, tree-dwelling marsupials, native to Australia.
In Magpie's Gift, a magpie is searching for nesting material when he finds a piece of blue wool. However, when he returns to retrieve the wool, it has already been claimed by a satin bowerbird.
The Australian magpie is a large butcher bird with a rich and musical song. The male satin bowerbird is known for decorating its bower, a nest of upright sticks, with bright blue objects.
In Dingo's Dash, two young dingoes learn a valuable lesson about minding their own business.
The dingo is a medium-sized wild dog brought to Australia from Asia 4000 years ago. Dingoes are found in all Australian States except Tasmania. They usually have ginger-coloured fur but may also be white or have black-and-tan colouring.
In Frilled Friend, a frilled lizard thinks he is just ordinary and brown — there is nothing special about him. Even the spinifex hopping-mice ignore him as they gather their food. All that is about to change, as one day a huge monitor threatens all the mice and the ordinary brown lizard finally gets the chance to show them his true colours.
The frilled lizard is one of the world's most spectacular dragons. When threatened, it opens its mouth wide displaying a bright yellow interior, and hisses loudly. Looking fierce, it also opens an impressive neck frill.
In Kangaroos' Lucky Escape, a rock-wallaby helps a mob of kangaroos escape the danger of a bushfire.
Kangaroos and wallabies are all macropods (big-footed animals). They move by hopping, using their tails for balance. Kangaroos live on grassy plains. Their agile cousin, the rock-wallaby, easily hops up and down the uneven slopes of its home in rocky, hilly country.
In Galah Games, Ernie and Eddie are two galahs that act silly and annoy the rest of the flock. One day, Ernie plays a trick that goes too far and upsets everyone. Ernie and Eddie fly away wondering why nobody laughs with them. When they are gone, the others in the flock learn a valuable lesson, as do Ernie and Eddie.
Galahs are well known for their silly antics. They may hang from a branch upside down, by one foot, while flapping their wings and screeching loudly, only to be ignored by the rest of the flock.
Is Freddie seeing things? There are dangers everywhere he looks but are they real or imagined? Find out how Freddie finds a unique solution to avoid going batty!
Fruit bats, otherwise known as flying-foxes, hang upside down from their perches. Valves in their veins prevent blood from collecting in their brains. Even though they live upside down, they have exceptional eyesight and unlike microbats, their smaller cousins, fruit bats don't need to use echolocation to navigate.
Looking after a bunch of boisterous youngsters was taking its toll on Grandpa Kangaroo. All he could think of was finding some time to himself — but that meant being alone.
Kangaroos live in groups called mobs. Usually a large male kangaroo oversees a number of females and their young. While some kangaroos in the mob have their heads down grazing, others keep watch for danger. A kangaroo alone could easily fall prey to dingoes or other predators.
Favourite Aussie animals embark on many different page-turning adventures. The stories are written by Rebecca Johnson, a practising teacher, mother and wildlife carer. Based on the 52 virtues, including caring, honesty, forgiveness and unity, these story books also feature type set in Beginners Alphabet and are specifically targeted to beginning and emergent readers. Wonderful Steve Parish photographs exemplify and give added dimension to the text.
In Wombat's Secret, a little wombat learns that the kangaroos have a secret. She sets off to discover what it is.
The common wombat is a mammal that raises its young in a backward-facing pouch. They have poor eyesight and use their sense of smell to find food. Wombats spend the day in a burrow and come out to feed on grasses at night when the air is cool.
In Pelican's Pride, Mr Pelican thinks he is as smart as he is handsome. He seems to do no work, and yet he is sleek and well-fed. The other pelicans are determined to find out how he is able to spend so much of the day preening while they have to work very hard to catch enough fish to fill their bellies.
Pelicans feed on fish, which they scoop up in their large bill and throat pouch. They nest in large flocks on islands or inland lakes after heavy rain. Two eggs are laid and both parents take turns caring for the eggs.
Turtle Tricks tells the tale of a clever little turtle who devises a plan to escape ever-present predators.
The heroine is a flatback turtle that lives with her relatives in coastal waters of northern Australia. Adult flatback turtles are olive grey in colour, grow to about 1m long and weigh about 80 kg. Females return to the beach where they hatched to lay their own eggs.
In Cockatoo Calling, a sulphur-crested cockatoo overhears people talking about cutting down the dead trees in the paddock. He calls a meeting of all the parrots so they can help him carry out his plan to save their homes.
The birds in this story all belong to the parrot family. Parrots lay white eggs and make their nests in tree hollows. Unlike many other birds, parrots can use their claws to hold food when eating.
In Tree-Frog Tangles, a red-eyed tree-frog, from her home in the treetops, hears a wonderful sound. She sets out to find the source but is side-tracked by the interesting noises made by other frogs as she journeys through the forest.
Red-eyed tree-frogs live in leafy foliage high in the trees of wet coastal forests in eastern Australia. They have special pads on their fingers and toes that help them to climb. After heavy rain, males call from lower branches and large groups gather in flooded areas to breed.
In Bilby's Burrow, a little bilby escapes from a dingo. She gets lost and has to find her way back to the safety of her burrow.
In the wild, bilbies have become rare because they are preyed on by foxes and feral cats, and rabbits compete for food. Now they are limited to desert areas where the introduced animals cannot find enough water to survive. A bilby is about the size of a rabbit and spends the day in a burrow that protects it from the heat. It feeds at night on insects and larvae, seeds, bulbs, fruit and fungi. A protection and recovery program for the bilby operates from Charleville in Queensland.
In Clover the Cow, a pregnant cow worries about how she'll cope if the drovers start moving the herd before she gives birth. And dear, gentle Clover has a suprise in store for the drovers. Herds, or mobs, of cattle are sometimes moved from one place to another in search of feed. People go with the mob to make sure they are safe and moving in the right direction - those people are called "drovers" or "stockmen." These days, droving is often done on motorbikes, but there are still some who travel with the mob on horseback.
In Dusty the Sheepdog, Dusty may have to leave the farm because he cannot do his job. But thanks to Ben's discovery, Dusty is allowed to stay and finds something he is good at.Working dogs, such as kelpies, are very useful on the farm. If they are trained correctly they can help move sheep and cattle from one part of the farm to another. The farmer will use different whistles and commands depending on what the dogs are required to do.
In Thunder the Stockhorse, Thunder misses his old life and job and feels that he is no longer useful on the farm. But the framer had a surprise in store for Thunder.
Stockhorses are very intelligent and may live for up to thirty years. They help on the farm in many ways. They carry riders over long distances to inspect the farm and they may be used to round up sheep or cattle.
In Elliot the Piglet, Elliot is born much smaller than his brothers and sisters and finds it hard to get his share of his mother's milk. But a kind farmer and a new friends's encouraging words help Elliot become the pig he wants to be.
A pig farm is called a piggery, and a pig's home is called a sty. A male pig is called a boar. A female pig, called a sow, may give birth to up to ten piglets in a litter. The smallest pig in a litter is called the runt. The farm may give smaller, weaker piglets milk in a bottle to help them grow and become strong.
In Freya's Foal, a horse worries that his mother's new foal is getting more attention, but he soon comes to love his new little brother.
Newborn foals are very wobbly when they first stand up, about half an hour after their birth, to drink their mother's milk. They grow very quickly in the first month and soon learn to eat grass. When they are 4–6 months old they are almost fully independent. Foals have lots of energy and each day they explore and gain more confidence.
In Neville the Sheep a sheep who is afraid to be shorn decides not to follow the flock and tries to run away. He finally realises that there is nothing to be afraid of and tells his friends to be brave.
Sheep are shorn once or twice a year in spring or autumn. A professional shearer can shear more then 200 sheep in a day and can remove the fleece in less than five minutes.
In Chasing Chickens, three hens learn that they need to get along with one another for the sake of their chicks. Chickens keep their eggs warm by sittting on them and only get up to eat and drink once a day. The chickens in this book are called bantams. The brown hen and white hen are frizzle bantams. Frizzle is a mutation in which the feathers grow so that they curve outward, instead of lying smoothly along the bird's body.
In Daring Duckling, a duckling learns that sometimes wishing for adventure and wanting to see the world leads you right back home to safety.
Ducklings freely move about the nest within 24 hours of hatching. Once the mother has checked that there are no predators, she will call the ducklings out of the nest to search for food. They become independent after 56–70 days of care.

YYC Yeee-Haaa!!!

- Scary Bill May 12, 2010 09:36 AM
Need a recommendation for a restaurant that has a Calgary look and feel and menu that an Easterner (from Ottawa!) would find distinctly Calgarian/Western.
I have a few ideas, but would appreciate any suggestions.
re: ByeByeBaby
1886 has perhaps the WORST breakfast (aside from blackfoot diner) that i've ever had in calgary. last time i was there, I think i paid like $15 for 2 PALE eggs, crappy toast and cold, undercooked potatoes. blech.
Buzzard's? I haven't been in a while, but I haven't seen prarie oysters anywhere else (I didn't care for them but it was on my gotta-try list).
The Ranche Restaurant
15979 Bow Bottom Trail SE, Calgary, AB , CA
1886 Buffalo Cafe
187 Barclay Parade SW, Calgary, AB T2P 4R3, CA
Buzzards Restaurant and Bar
140 10 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2R 0A3, CA
re: John Manzo
Ginger Beef washed down with Caesars?
The intersection of the set of Western-themed restaurants and the set of restaurants which serve decent food is the null set. Take the visitor to River Cafe, tell them the old west looked like a fisherman's cottage. Problem solved.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Ended up going to Open Range oEdmonton Trail. Mrs Scary wanted something a bit nicer and with better food than, say a Palomino or Ranchmans, which I favoured. As the guest was my sister-in law, she was probably right, but when any of the boys visit, well, its gonna be a Yee-haa bar.
Open Range is excellent, great menu, service, wine list. They are prone to saucing most entrees it seems. We had, beef tenderloin, bison short ribs and rabbit, all very well done, and very fair pricing. Would return.
Note to JM. When people come to Calgary on a visit, they want the Catch of the Day to be beef or game, it's what is expected of Calgary. And they want to see that every other vehicle is a pickup, a few stetsons on the street, and feel like they are in "The Heart of the New West". (Keep the slogan, it works!!!). Until visitor's arrive, no one knows that the most iconic restaurant item is Ginger Beef and that the Caesar was invented in Calgary (clam juice...really???)
Let Toronto be perceived as the Canadian centre of mulitculturalism, we'll just keep all those very good Japanese, Mexican, Chinese, etc restaurants in Calgary to ourselves, even though, as you point out, Calgary is more "multicultural" than Ottawa, though only just barely, as long as youe exclude those of French (Quebecois) heritage.
re: Scary Bill
Good luck seeing anyone wearing a stetson, except in the first two weeks of July or at the airport!

A word from Lusardi's Larchmont
For 15 years Lusardi's of Larchmont has been one of Westchester County's top restaurants for any kind of dining - be it casual to special occasion. The menu's homemade cuisine shows a Mediterranean leaning and a particular expertise with seafood, eclipsed perhaps only by the incredible pastas. This kind of dining experience can really only consistently be found in Italy...or on Palmer Avenue in Larchmont. Visit our other locations: Chat 19, Moscato Scarsdale, and Chat American Grill in Scarsdale.Continued

- Great local with NYC quality food & Italian flairNeilskDined on 11/18/2014Always love the food, ambiance, and drinks. The waiters are extra special too. We enjoyed the artichoke appetizer, salads, chicken scarpariello, linguine vongole, desserts, iced cappuccino, etc.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Keep it our secretFloriDined on 11/9/2014We hadn't been to Lusardi for a while and decided to try it for Restaurant Week on Sunday night. Rarely have we been as pleased with an evening spent in Westchester. For starters, we found a spot right outside the restaurant.(yea)- Our waiter introduced himself and gave us the menu. Upon perusing same I couldn't believe my eyes. Bronzino and veal on Restaurant week, is surely a rarity. The appetizers presented a problem, which perfect beginning would we choose? We chose the beet salad. Great! I had the bronzino, a favorite that is usually a special at most places. All in all our 2 friends and we could not stop raving. I do not write reviews ever but in this case, I am so gad you asked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/9/2014Poor communication from the waiter about the "Specials" for the day was not part of the Restaurant Week menu. The same waiter then told us that we can only order desserts from the Restaurant Week menu. I ordered the "Specials" and the desserts, thinking that I was ordering from the Restaurant Week menu. We were surprised when the bill came to over 100 for the two of us. I asked the waiter if I was not ordered from the restaurant week menu, why did he point me to the restaurant week desserts. I also told the waiter, I would not have wanted dessert or tea otherwise. I would have expected that he would at least offer to take the dessert and tea off our bill, but he didn't. We paid the bill, but we will not be going back.Special Features:
- Restaurant week2gooutanightDined on 11/9/2014We chose to try Lusardi's during restaurant week. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. I had never eaten there before and was excited to try somewhere new. We were seated at a window table and given a choice of either the special menu or regular menu. The and cavatelli Branzino were excellent. Their Italian cheesecake reminded me of my mom's recipe. The staff thanked us for our patronage as we left. We will definitely return to Lusardi's in the near future. Great food, terrific service, and a relaxing atmosphere are not easy to find in one spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful meal, service slowRobinDined on 11/6/2014The food was wonderful (as always) however our first course was not delivered for 45 minutes, even though all other tables around us, many of whom had been seated after us, received their food before we did.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Italian foodiPaulDined on 11/4/2014We went for Restaurant Week. I hasn't been there for years. Unlike other places they give a large selection with big portions. Service was great. Ambiance is nice. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice menu for Restaurant WeekOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/3/2014Both entrees and mains for my friend and myself were delicious. The desserts were also delectable. Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always Finenickname1VIPDined on 11/1/2014We go there periodically and find it to have consistently excellent food and capable service. Noise level was fine,but we ate early dinner; prime time can be loud. Tables for four are a bit small, but Lusardi's is a favorite for its many virtues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful DinnerAnnieBVIPDined on 10/17/2014We took our friends out for their anniversary and as I requested in the res, that had a table waiting for us in the room with the fireplace. The service was attentive and excellent. The wine we chose was very good and all the food was terrific, except for the duck special which lacked some flavor. Desserts too were wonderful. A great place for dinner.Special Features:

I recommend it to all of my friends and family. But the service the other night was not up to par as it usually is. Other than that the meal was fabulous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lamb ragu was transportingNickNameDined on 10/11/2014We have been coming here since it opened. The service has always been excellent, and the food has varied between excellent, and very good; we have never had a bad meal here. But the last couple, were outstanding. I get the feeling the chef has really found his/her touch. When you have a dish which is so breath taking, you wish with each bite it would never end . . . . well, that was the lamb ragu on Saturday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Our server was very attentive and polite, and really helped us. The food was excellent, as always. We had the veal chop and the soft shell crabs - both extremely well prepared. It's right in uptown Larchmont, just a 10 minute walk from out house.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lusardi's strives for excellenceMJGHVIPDined on 8/30/2014We were very satisfied with our Sat. night dinner at Lusardi's. I would have rated more stars for ambiance if we hadn't been seated near older men wearing shorts and casual short-sleeved shirts. Surely, people can make more of an effort to dress appropriately for Sat. night dinner at a fine restaurant. We liked the arugula salad with olives and gorgonzola. The baked eggplant, spinach, ricotta, and mozarella appetizer was very small but delicious. We chose the red snapper special, which was prepared and seasoned well and came with bok choy and cooked cherry tomatoes. The pasta was delicious: spaghetti with cooked tomato, roasted red pepper, anchoves, and capers. Hot coffee was strong, and we appreciated the heated milk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our favorite places!HavanaVIPDined on 8/30/2014We have eaten at Lusardi's several times and have never been disappointed. In fact, we are so amazed how good the food is and it's only a few minutes away from where we live. I can't wait to go back again.Special Features:
