Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Leo!
Facts about Leo
- Breed: Australian Shepherd
- Color: Merle
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Leo's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Leo is an approximately 4 year old red merle male with lots of energy. He weighs 45 lbs and has a docked tail. He loves attention and will let someone do anything with him. He had pneumonia when he came into rescue, and he was always amenable to his breathing treatments. He is completely well now, and is full of life. He seems to be happy to play with all other dogs he has met, including a puppy. He sometimes just gets so excited and boisterous that other dogs are annoyed. If he feels threatened, he immediately rolls over and shows his belly. The first few times he was on a leash he just laid down and had to be carried, but now he loves having a leash put on and follows right along (or runs ahead). He needs someone with patience to show him what he should do and he will be thrilled to perform. Cats are still an unknown, although he has sniffed at a couple while on lead and shown no more than interest. This is a dog with a lot of potential, and needs someone willing to work with his energy to harness it, and able to work with his submissiveness to give him confidence.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Leo, a Elk River Australian Shepherd dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in Elk River, or seeking a Australian Shepherd dog from a breeder in Elk River.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elk River already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elk River breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elk River paves the way for another one to be saved.

I can imagine you all thinking, "what?" about a baked carrot recipe, but let me just tell you, you will not believe how good these are.
Actually, I usually forget how good these are (because who thinks about cooked carrots, really?) until I put them back on the menu after the glut of glorious summer vegetables are done.
Maybe these wouldn't taste so good in the summer, I don't know, but last night with rice and baked chicken, these were so good I was cleaning the bowl after dinner.
So I decided I had to share.
Plus, really, there's not a lot of things more easy than carrots – the dish cost about .75, took about 5 minutes to put together and 30 minutes in the oven.
Go ahead and give them a try:
Garlic Baked Grated Carrots
- 3-4 c. peeled and grated carrots
- 1 Tb. melted butter
- 1 Tb. olive oil (you could use one or the other, but I like to do both)
- 1 Tb. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tb. chopped chives (optional)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place grated carrots in a 1-1/2 to 2 qt. casserole.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
And that's it. Prepare to be amazed.

I just did a little unscientific research on the cast iron available nowdays. My old pans are Wagner, Griswold and some no-name varieties. They are lighter weight than the new Lodge products and the iron has a much smoother finish. If you are shopping for cast iron, look for brand options. I just bought a Schulte Ufer dutch oven which is nice but probably hard to find (try TJ Max). Check around before you buy. I think I'd have to spend some time at LA Fitness before hefting those heavy, heavy Lodge pans. ( Lodge is made for camping and rough handling.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Excluding the Griswold, which was machined differently, I think you just lucked out in terms of weight. I have cast iron going as far back as the 19th century. Some of it is lighter. Some of it incredibly heavy. And some just like the current Lodge. I never noticed that Wagner and Lodge were appreciably different, weight & heft-wise. My favorite, on many levels, is a chicken fryer that dates back to the 1930s. Talk about lightweight. It doesn't weigh much more than a comparable SS pot. On the other hand, I've got a 14" Dutch oven that takes two men and a boy to lift. The cover, alone, weighs more than most of my pots. |

DH recently brought home 3 Lodge Logic pre-seasoned pans: 14" wok, 15" skillet, and 12" skillet. Yes, they are heavy, but we are both enjoying them tremendously. The factory seasoning was fine for the first use, and I have continued to season them. |
Definitely, cast-iron is my PREFERRED cookware. Probably the only exception is a thin steel wok (different heat). I'll stick with the cast-iron. It just cooks beautifully! -Junkmanme- |
- Posted by linny57 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Sep 24, 08 at 19:09
Hi all. I'm new here and very happy to find a forum on this subject. I absolutely love my cast iron. It's a mix of Wagner, Lodge, "no brand" and even an Old Mountain or two. Some cheap, some cheaper and some pretty decent pieces. I have one piece that I bought at a flea market in Kentucky. It was in very bad shape, lots of rust in the bottom, lots and lots of black smut, or carbonaited oil I guess on the outside, and no lid. I just really wanted it you know? I've not seen a piece like it before, and I'm not sure what it's primary use would have been. I have been trying to find a lid on line, but no success so far. It's 18" long, 10" deep and 10" wide with 4 short legs. I don't see any markings on it, but it really needs to be cleaned up before I can tell if there are any. Whomever used it prior to my buying it must have used it a lot! Some of the pieces I have were found behind an old shed when we lived in Kentucky. Some were bought off a couple who pulled up beside us at a store in Florida. They had a load of stuff they were taking to the local metal recycling place, and my husband, ever the treasure hunter, looked the load over and saw an old kettle, skillet, and a lid that fit both of them. God bless him! One of my pieces was actually bought brand new! As for the "found and rescued" peices, my husband took the rust off of them with a wire wheel, (while I stood behind him and fretted!) I was afraid he would ruin them, but he was very careful and didn't. I re-seasoned them and have been using them ever since. I would post a picture of this peculiar piece, (to me anyway), but don't see anyway to do that. Any ideas on what it's use could be or how to find a lid? Thanks for any ideas, and what a great forum. |
Could it be a hibachi-type thing? Like an older version of this (random, non-endorsed vendor): |

SEARCY – The Benton Panthers started the 2013-14 basketball season with a bit of sloppiness. After senior forward Josh Bowling hit a 3-pointer from the corner to put the Panthers up 40-38 with 47 seconds left in regulation, the Greenbrier Panthers would tie it with a second remaining in the game to force overtime, and would go on to win 57-54 in three OTs in the first round of the Searcy Classic on Thursday.
BENTON – After an undefeated 7A/6A South Conference season last year and a semifinals loss to the Jonesboro Golden Hurricane in the 6A State Tournament, the Benton Panthers have a lot to live up to after breaking the school record with 27 victories against just three losses last year. But, not only have the Panthers lost five seniors which contributed heavily to the South champions, but Benton has a new coach in the interim after former Head Coach Chris Nail took the assistant principal's position.
LITTLE ROCK – Benton native Branch Terrell signed a letter of intent to play tennis for the Razorbacks at the University of Arkansas on Friday afternoon at the Arkansas Tennis Association in Little Rock.

Brian Dennis, chief professional officer of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County, has been named Montana's Afterschool Provider of the Year.
Attorney General Steve Bullock presented Dennis with the award during a surprise ceremony Tuesday to honor him for his work on after-school care for Montana kids.
"It's incredibly flattering," Dennis said. "I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to go to a place every day where we come to work to see how big a difference we can make."
He has been with Boys and Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County for eight years and oversees all four of the clubhouses in the Billings area.
The clubs serve about 1,470 kids through after-school and summer programs and, between all of them, see about 700 kids each day.
"When you look beyond the comic-book culture, the true superheroes among us are the individuals who give the most, who work tirelessly to make their communities stronger, and who, through their efforts, make the lives of others richer and happier," Bullock said. "The Boys and Girls Club's Brian Dennis is that kind of superhero."
Jack Eagle, the clubs' chief volunteer officer and board chairman, nominated Dennis for the award for his work in bringing new ways to keep kids engaged while finding ways to make a positive impact.
"One of Brian's greatest strengths is an unwavering commitment to the kids and ensuring that they have the best possible membership experience and outcome," Eagle said.
He started as program director of the Lockwood Clubhouse and helped get the fourth club, at Bench Elementary in the Heights, up and running. Recently, Dennis worked with Billings Public Schools on a program called Homework BOOST, which sends club staff to middle schools for after school homework help.
While Dennis said he was honored by the award, he was also quick to deflect praise.
"We're just really lucky to do what we do," he said. "It's fortunate to be recognized for something we love to do. There's so many great staff here and so many other places that do so much."

I've had to remove some of the outer leaves of the cabbage that is growing in my garden because they're shading out something else. Lots of the cabbage plants are heading up and there's one or two that might be ready to cut in a couple of weeks.
I kind of hate to put these big leaves in the compost. I've tasted one, and it's kind of strong, a hint of cabbage-like sweetness, with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. But they're deep green and I'll bet they're just packed with vitamins and good things. Do any of you grow cabbage and use those big outer leaves for anything? Would they be OK steamed and cut in small pieces for soup, or would the bitterness remain and ruin the whole pot? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by livingthedream (My Page) on Tue, May 26, 09 at 23:05
Stuffed cabbage rolls are made with the large outside leaves. The cabbage leaves have to be cooked first to make them soft enough to roll, which may also take care of the bitterness. |
- Posted by blueberrier1 (My Page) on Wed, May 27, 09 at 6:28
Use a cleaver to make thin strips and pop into a veggie stir fry with fresh garlic, onions, whole radish plants, maybe some pea plants, etc. Can flavor with a bit of meat, soy sauce, sesame oil. Delish. |

I peg them in the pot with potato, carrott and turnip peelings and it makes good soup once you have blended them. The peelings are high in fibre so they're good for your innards too. |

Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) will be the starter in left field for Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
A bout of rib cage inflammation cost Hamilton the final two weeks of the regular season, but he received the green light to start Game 1 after taking live batting practice off teammate Drew Rucinski on Tuesday. Hamilton is just 6-for-27 against lefty Jason Vargas, Thursday's starer for Kansas City, though three of those hits have left the park.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) appears to be good to go for the ALDS, the Orange County Register reports.
Hamilton said "thumbs up" after going through a full on-field workout Tuesday, which included live hitting off teammate Drew Rucinski, reinforcing his comments from earlier in the day that he felt confident he would be fine for Game 1. Hitting coach Don Baylor has concurred, so look for Hamilton to man left field and bat either six or seventh in the order Thursday.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) is confident he'll play in Thursday's Game 1 of the ALDS, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.
Hamilton missed 22 of the team's final 23 games of the regular season due to shoulder and rib ailments, but he received a series of pain-killing injections last week and it seems the treatment is working. The five-time All-Star said he felt good during batting practice Monday and is now set to face live pitching Tuesday, as he looks to convince the coaching and training staffs that he is indeed good to go.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) will be thrown batting practice over the next few days and the decision about whether or not to put him on the ALDS roster will hinge on how he looks, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports.
Even if he were to make the postseason roster, there's a chance he wouldn't be used as an everyday player based on how much he has struggled. Collin Cowgill still figures to see a lot of the action in left field.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) is expected to face live pitching on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
If everything goes according to plan, Hamilton will take batting practice on both Monday and Tuesday in anticipation of replicating live game action Wednesday. He'll need to get through that successfully if the Angels want to count on using him in the playoffs.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, according to MLB.com's Alden Gonzalea.
Hamilton was scheduled to take swings Saturday, but it appears he is still not ready to return to the lineup. He will have just once more chance to play before the regular season comes to a close.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton will resume swinging the bat Saturday and will reportedly need to face velocity if before the playoffs to determine whether or not he will be on the postseason roster, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Hamilton reportedly has no doubt that he will be ready for the playoffs, but his manager wants to see more from him before determining whether or not to place him on the roster. Swinging the bat is a step towards returning, but being able to swing against live pitching is a bigger test.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) said he has "no doubt" that he will be ready to play in the postseason, the Orange County Register reports.
Hamilton said Wednesday that the pain in his ribs is gone, thanks to seven pain-killing injections to the region last weekend. While he's confident that he'll be fine when the ALDS commences next Thursday, Hamilton seems to have come to terms with not playing again during the regular season. "There's no sense in me coming back and having the issue," Hamilton said. He added that he figures to get into some sort of simulated game during the three days between the regular season and the playoffs.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) got treatment Wednesday, but didn't take any swings and it's still not clear if he will be able to return Friday, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports.
Hamilton's status for the rest of the regular season remains very murky, and given his lack of production when he's been on the field this season, he may not be worth holding onto in standard leagues at this point.
Josh Hamilton LF/DH LAA 4 Months
Hamilton (ribs) could return Friday against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
An MRI on Hamilton's abdominal area last weekend revealed rib cage inflammation, resulting in a whopping seven pain-killing injections in his back and chest. Fortunately, the treatment seems to be doing the trick, as Hamilton was able to hit off a tee both Monday and Tuesday. While it's no lock he returns Friday, it does sound like Hamilton will be available in some capacity for the final series of the regular season.

Two Wolves, out now (Random House Australia). US edition 2015 (Farrar-Straus-Giroux) |
The grandfather answers simply, 'The one you feed.'
- Unknown source.
Things aren't right and Ben knows it. His parents are on the run. So Ben and Olive are running, too.
Ben's always dreamt of becoming a detective – his dad even calls him 'Cop' because he asks so many questions. Now Ben gathers evidence, jots notes and tries to uncover what his parents have done. The trouble is, if he figures it out, what does he do next? Tell someone? Or keep the secret and live life on the run?
'This engrossing novel captures the reader with the skill and narrative power of the descriptive writing, its intriguing plot, believable dialogue, family tensions, and Ben's emotional and physical growth . . . Highly recommended for secondary readers as a gripping read, and for class discussion on many levels." - Chloé Mauger, Magpies
'It's such a great book: well written, gripping, psychologically true and ethically complex. Fantastic characterisation (especially Ben & Olive, who is wonderfully well-drawn) and a truly exciting story. Loved it. I hope it sells by the truckload!' - Judith Ridge, Westwords.
'While keeping the narrative exciting and fast-paced, Bancks poses moral dilemmas and choices which increase the depth and literary worth of the novel... Ben [is] flawed, realistic but a positive role-model for teen readers. - Joy Lawn, Boomerang Books.
'I predict that this will become a set novel in many secondary English and Media classrooms. Its sense of place, the action, the moral issues, the connections with other literature, its filmic potential – the list goes on. There are twenty pages of excellent teaching notes on the Random House website here.' - Megan Daley, Teacher-Librarian / Blogger at Children's Books Daily.
'I'm a huge fan of Tristan Bancks's Mac Slater books and was excited to read his new one – it doesn't disappoint. Two Wolves is a fantastic, suspenseful novel for readers aged 11 and up, and a book that will keep them reading well into the night!' - Katherine Dretzke, Readings Books, Hawthorn

Former assistants return to Pac-12 as women's head coaches
Last week, UCLA announced that Cori Close, a former Bruins assistant, has been hired to replace departed head women's basketball coach Nikki Caldwell, who left for LSU. Close was most recently the associate head coach at Florida State.
Close is noted more for her work with offense, while Caldwell was a defensive specialist, and certainly the Ducks were happy to see her go after scoring 57 and 48 points in two games against the Bruins last season, Oregon's lowest two outputs of the season.
And today, Cal hired Lindsay Gottleib to replace Joanne Boyle, who left for Virginia. Gottleib was a Cal assistant from 2005-8, spending her final season as associate head coach before serving as head coach at UC Santa Barbara the last three seasons.

Keeper Secrets and Fun Facts.
Discover some of what the Zoo Keepers know about the animals in their care as they share enrichment and training tidbits, diets, conservation facts and interesting anecdotes!
African Elephants
Kimba (female, DOB 08/24/78, weight 10,000 lbs.)
Lucky (female, DOB 03/01/80, weight 8,000 lbs.)
Maliaka (female, DOB 1986, weight 9,000 lbs.)
Jambo (female, DOB 1983, weight 7,800 lbs.)
Enrichment & Training:
Kimba has a gentle personality and is very food motivated. She is known for her love of eating, especially bananas, watermelons, pumpkins and cabbage. Lucky is very enthusiastic at training time. One of her favorite enrichment activities is painting, and she has become famous for her beautiful works of art, which are proudly displayed in many homes and offices around the area.
Malaika is the dominant elephant. She is a gentle and good-natured elephant who loves attention from her keepers (in fact, she demands it!) and particularly enjoys enrichment items like puzzle feeders.
Lucky is an accomplished painter and "signs" her paintings with her trunk print. Click here to learn how you can purchase one of Lucky's paintings or other elephant art masterpieces!
Jambo is still getting to know Malaika, Kimba, and Lucky, but her outgoing personality will likely change the current social structure of the group. Jambo is a very energetic, eager-to-train elephant and is known for double-checking the locks in the barn with her trunk. She's always looking to stay busy with animal care staff and enrichment activities.
The elephants' favorite enrichment activities include playing with plastic barrels and tires and exploring new foods like pumpkins and melons. They also love to play in water.
All of our elephants train daily. Most of their behaviors, learned through positive reinforcement, help the keepers take better care of the elephants. Our elephants know approximately 35 verbal commands. Discover more about where the elephants are at the Zoo by going to Encounter Africa.
Zoo Diet:
Our elephants eat mainly grass (brome) and oat hay along with produce and bread during training sessions. All three elephants love cabbage, bananas, bread and melons but turn their trunks up to green beans and tomatoes.
Water is also an essential part of their diet. Each elephant can consume up to 50 gallons of water a day!
For African elephants, it's al about the ivory. Pressure on the ivory trade and improved protection from poachers has helped to restore numbers in some areas. Efforts are currently underway to secure larger elephant reserves that include areas stretching across migratory routes. Visit our Elephant Conservation page to learn more.
Social Life:
African elephants live in matriarchal groups of pre-pubescent males and females of all ages. The oldest female in the group guides the family unit. Elephants are the only animals in Africa that dig deep holes in search of water. The holes, excavated using the trunk, can be several feet deep and it's thought that the locations are learned from social interactions. Elephants are also very fond of bathing.
Interesting Facts:
The Zoo's elephants are not related but Lucky and Kimba are very strongly bonded. Kimba is the matriarch of the two and will try to steal Lucky's food sometimes pushing Lucky around a bit. Neither of these elephants have had offspring. Maliaka and Jambo are new to the Zoo, to Lucky and to Kimba.
Golden Lion Tamarins
Ricardo (male, DOB 1998
Graciela (female, DOB 08/5/06)
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is home to two Golden Lion Tamarins, one male and one female.
Enrichment & Training
The tamarins keep guests and each other happily entertained by demonstrating natural behaviors like climbing and rope balancing.
Zoo Diet Golden Lion tamarins enjoy a diet of grapes, apples, bananas, various vegetables, yam, carrot, canned marmoset diet, eggs and insects. Their favorites include cucumbers and crickets.
This species was first listed as endangered in 1982, rising to critically endangered in 1996. By 2003 the successful establishment of a new population at União Biological Reserve enabled downgrading the species to endangered; but, the IUCN warns that extreme habitat fragmentation from deforestation means the wild population has little potential for any further expansion.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is considered to be extremely successful in its conservation efforts.
Social Life
In zoos, Golden Lion Tamarins are kept in family groups. In the wild, groups are small (two to nine animals) and usually consist of one breeding male and female along with younger animals.
Interesting Facts
Tamarins ring out a particular alarm call when large birds fly overhead. When that call is made, they head for tree trunks or sometimes just let themselves fall to the ground. The alarm call and the response seem to be genetically "hard-wired." Zoo born animals that have always lived inside make the call and respond appropriately when birds fly over.
Births are usually twins. Infant care is cooperative. All members of the group will carry an infant, with the adult male commonly doing the largest share. The mother only takes the babies to nurse them. Since a set of twins might weigh as much as 15 to 20 percent of the mother's weight, she can use the help.
Lar Gibbon
Schanee (female, DOB 10/06/80, 6.68 kg)
Tembeling (male, DOB 07/22/96, 6.3 kg)
Enrichment & Training:
Both gibbons understand and present a large repertoire of husbandry behaviors. These behaviors aid keepers with important medical tasks such as taking an animal's temperature.
Tembeling shows his agility through various natural ape behaviors and is one of many stars of the Primates in Motion Show, which can be seen daily at 11:00 and 2:30 at Monkey Pavilion,
For fun, our gibbons play with T-Shirts, Kong balls, and ice treats.
To experience gibbons in action, catch the "Primates in Motion," show at the Zoo - expand the New Animal Shows section of this Animal Happenings page for dates and times.
Zoo Diet:
Schanee and Tembeling eat mainly browse along with fruit, leafeater chow, mixed greens, banana, yam and carrot. Favorite treats include peanuts, sunflower seeds, berries, melon, peanut butter, jelly, honey, cereal and raisins. Tembeling has been known to toss a bad banana peel!
Recently declared extinct in China, the gibbon is primarily threatened by the loss of their forest habitat as well as illegal wildlife trade and poaching.
Social Life:
In the wild, gibbons live in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair and their dependent offspring. The family unit occupies a territory, and they defend its boundaries by a vigorous vocal and visual display. The vocal display consists of a spectacular, bird-like duet between the mated pair, with the young occasionally joining in.
Interesting Facts:
Gibbons are excellent brachiators (arm-swingers). Their agility in the forest tree tops has long fascinated both scientists and lay people.
Tembeling lost his left hand due to an injury received as a baby. The hand became infected and had to be amputated. His disability does not affect his behavior at all; in fact he dazzles visitors with his active swinging, back flips and natural agility.
Nile Hippopotamus
Zambezi (female, DOB 12/14/92)
Kasai (female, DOB 09/28/99)
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is home to two Nile Hippo sisters, Zambezi and Kasai. The hippo sisters were born at the Denver Zoo. After loosing their matriarch and grandmother, Maggie, these girls are still working to figure out their new roles. Zambezi will most likely take on the matriarchal role.
Enrichment & Training:
The girls are most active in the morning and late afternoon when they are eating or training. 55 gallon barrels and large boomer balls are the girls' favorite enrichment items.
They all love their keeper's attention and enjoy daily training sessions which include practice at following targets and retrieving objects in addition to a daily teeth brushing!
For Hippo Training Demonstrations show times at the Zoo, expand the Animal Feeding Shows section of this Animal Happenings page.
Zoo Diet:
Together these animals eat nearly 100 lbs of food per day which includes a mixture of grass hay, herbivore grain and produce such as carrot, cabbage and fruit. Hippo favorite foods include veggies and fruit, although our girls aren't picky.
Hippos are considered vulnerable. There are an estimated 125,000 to 150,000 hippos remaining throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. They are threatened by habitat loss and poaching for their meat and ivory canine teeth.
In 2008 Cheyenne Mountain Zoo donated $1000 to Virunga National Park in an effort to assist Congo Rangers with protection programs. You can help by learning what is happening to hippos in Africa and by visiting Atamato's blog to stay up to date on how Congo Rangers work to protect our world's hippos.
Social Life:
In the wild hippos are territorial only in water. A bull presides over a small stretch of river, on average 250 meters in length, which generally contains about ten females. The largest pods can contain up to 100 hippos. Within the pods, the hippos tend to group by gender. Bachelors will lounge near other bachelors, females with other females, and the bull is on his own. When hippos emerge from the water to graze, they do so individually.
Interesting Facts:
Neither of the Zoo's hippos has birthed any calves because they have not been housed with males.
Hippos are very territorial animals. Each year they cause more human deaths in Africa than any other mammal.
Despite their physical resemblance to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates, their closest living relatives are cetaceans (whales, porpoise, etc.).
Adult hippos can stay underwater for up to five minutes. Sleeping hippopotamuses can rise to the water's surface to breathe.
Sumatran Orangutans
Baka (male, DOB 06/15/1990)
Sumagu (female, DOB 10/10/1987)
Godek (male, DOB 2/19/2009)
Enrichment & Training
Sumatran orangutans enjoy daily training and readily approach keepers when their names are called to begin a training session. Baka and Sumagu open their mouths and present their tongues for inspection and will turn a shoulder to the keeper to allow for medication or vaccination injections. The orangutans also climb and swing around on structures in their enclosures, displaying their fascinating brachiating talents and athleticism.
Baka, Sumagu and Godek stay busy playing with sheets, boxes and other enrichment items and love frozen ice treats in the summer.
Enjoy the "Orangutans are Cool" Animal show! For show times at the Zoo, expand the New Animal Shows section of this Animal Happenings page.
As part of the animal enrichment program at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, our orangutans paint! Each art piece sold contributes to wild orangutan conservation. Visit Orangutan Art to find out how you can help!
Zoo Diet
These apes eat a Zoo diet consisting of greens, primate biscuits, yam, carrot, banana, and their favorite treats fruits and nuts. The Zoos orangutans do not care for mealworms.
Sumatran orangutans will soon be extinct in the wild if the palm oil industry, deforestation and burning of peat forests does not change. Click HERE to read more on this complex and time sensitive issue.
Social Life
Sumagu and Godek are closely bonded, just as a wild orangutan mother and infant would be. He always clings to his mom when he sleeps. During the day Godek is starting to venture a few feet away from Sumagu for short periods of time; he is often seen hanging in midair near her. Godek is also becoming more interested in interacting with Baka, and has even touched him a few times. In the wild, an infant would have little or no contact with his father. Unlike the other great ape species, orangutans are semi-solitary in the wild due to the amount of territory they need to cover in order to find enough food. However, orangutans are very adaptable, as shown by their more social tendancies when the opportunity arises (like at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo). Baka is a good father who respects the boundaries set by Godek's mother, Sumagu.
Interesting Facts
Sumagu has a wonderful maternal instinct and Godek likes to be tickled by his keepers. The Zoos three Sumatran orangutans are very intelligent.
Wild orangutans build two nests a day; a light nap nest and a stronger sleeping nest constructed from leaved branches, 40 to 60 feet above the ground. The sleeping nest looks like a giant birds nest and on average, only takes about 5 minutes to construct.
Bornean Orangutans
Tujoh (male, DOB 04/30/1994)
Hadiah (female, DOB 6/8/1996).
Enrichment & Training
Bornean orangutans enjoy daily training sessions. Tujoh and Hadiah know many husbandry behaviors and willingly present body parts such as a shoulder or the tongue. Training demonstrations allow these primates to show off their fantastic swinging and stretching abilities.
These orangutans' favorite enrichment items include frozen juice treats, t-shirts and "fishing boxes" made by filling a box with juice or oatmeal that must be "fished" out with special tools like sticks or branches. The orangutans also use the t-shirt cloth to fish out the juice by soaking the cloth over and over again.
Enjoy the "Orangutans are Cool" Animal show! For show times at the Zoo, expand the New Animal Shows section of this Animal Happenings page.
As part of the animal enrichment program at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, our orangutans paint! Each art piece sold contributes to wild orangutan conservation. Visit Orangutan Art to find out how you can help!
Zoo Diet
Tujoh and Hadiah eat a variety of foods including green vegetables like lettuce and cucumbers. Peppers, onions, bananas, yams, carrots and "primate biscuits" are favorites as well.
Bornean orangutans will be extinct in the wild in the next 10 years if the palm oil industry, deforestation and burning of peat forests does not change. Click HERE to read more on this complex and time sensitive issue.
Social Life
In the wild, two or three orangutans with overlapping territories may interact for small periods of time. Males and females generally come together only to mate. Tujoh and Hadiah are a pair that have had one offspring, Mahal. Raised by keepers when Hadiah's maternal instincts lapsed, Mahal now resides at Milwaukee County Zoo. Hadiah is more interactive and "friendly" with Zoo guests than a lot of orangutans, this may be a result of hand-rearing with people during her infancy.
Interesting Facts
Tujoh loves water play and is constantly clogging his water source to flood his exhibit. Both are very interested in the guests and interact frequently with people at the glass.
Spectacled Bear
Osito (male, DOB 11/09/98, weight 354 lbs)
Osito was born at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on November 9th, 1998. He grew up with his father, Miguel, who passed away the summer of 2006.
Enrichment & Training:
Most active in the morning hours, Osito enjoys swimming laps in his pool – especially on hot days. A true bear at heart, he loves climbing trees, licking ice treats and tearing into boxes or bags.
Osito knows behaviors that will aid keepers should the need for medical care arise. He can present his tongue, stand up, sit down, present a paw, open his mouth, and he willingly climbs onto the large mammal scale.
Keepers find amusing ways to entertain him such as hiding peanut butter on various trees within his enclosure and providing all types of tree branches for him to strip and chew. Donated Christmas trees make fun toys for Osito.
Zoo Diet:
For breakfast, Osito dines on carrots and omnivore chow and munches on yams, bananas, apples and chow for dinner. Extra chow is offered in the fall months to help Osito add bulk to prepare for Colorado's cold winter.
Osito will NOT eat fruit peels and does not care for fish or mustard.
Time is running out for the Andean bear. The tranquil cloud forests of the Andean mountain ranges, where these bears live, are rapidly disappearing. Andean bears are the largest South American mammals and are considered threatened. If the current rate of loss continues, Andean bears will be endangered within the next 30 years. The Andean Bear Conservation Project in Ecuador is one of the six projects Cheyenne Mountain Zoo supported through the Quarters for Conservation program in 2009-2010.
Social Life:
Andean bears are solitary animals, rarely coming into contact with other bears. They do interact with each other to a certain extent and leave "scratch messages" on trees for other bears.
Interesting Facts:
When swimming laps in his pool, Osito often grunts as he paddles.
His bottom lip pokes out as he sniffs the air or greets keepers in the morning. We like to think this is his way of smiling.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo houses two wallaby species, Parmas (smaller) and Bennetts (larger). The Zoo's group of wallabies, called a mob, is made up of all young adults or adults with the exception of two joeys, Yoshi (5 months) and Odessa (8 months).
Wallabies are part of Macropodidae family found in Australia, New Guinea, and on nearby islands. Macropodidae means "big feet." Wallabies are typically small to medium-sized mammals, but the largest can reach 6 feet from head to tail. They have powerful hind legs used to bound along at high speeds and jump great distances.
Enrichment & Training
The wallabies explore their spacious walk-through exhibit on warm days and spend their nights in a safe, cozy indoor enclosure. Through positive reinforcement, our wallabies train to shift in and out of their exhibits. Other training includes learning to take treats from a medical syringe to prepare for medical care.
Zoo Diet
Like all of their kangaroo relatives wallabies are herbivorous, mainly grazing on grass and leaves. A hearty zoo menu consisting of macropod chow, yams, carrots, lettuce, grass and browse makes up our wallaby's diet. Although lettuce and browse are wallaby favorites, they turn their noses up to stems.
IUNC Redlist lists both species in good standing. Bennett populations are doing very well; however, Parmas are listed as threatened in some areas and vulnerable in other areas. Main threats to wallabies include predation by feral cats and foxes, habitat loss, and vehicle accidents.
Social Life
Some kangaroos live in social groups and others are completely solitary. Within a group, called a mob, the individuals are safer. In general, the larger animals and animals living in open grasslands are more social.
In a mob the dominant male competes with the others to become the father of most of the offspring, called joeys. The dominant male is generally larger than the other males (called boomers), and considerably larger than the females (called does).
Interesting Facts
Parma wallabies tremble when another wallaby or person approaches. This behavior, called "tintibulation", is a perfectly normal wallaby form of communicating submissiveness. It's a wallaby's way of saying, "You're the boss!".
Wendel and Nigel are the Zoo's largest wallabies. Wendel is always searching for food, while Nigel likes up close photo opportunities.

Hi! I come by cooking and baking naturally. I grew up in a home where every dish was made from scratch, right down to the sliced bread at every meal. I pretty much learned by watching since the kitchen was my mom's domain. Once I was out on my own, I cracked open those cookbooks and went at it!
Since finding this site, I rarely use a cookbook anymore and have enjoyed every minute and every recipe I've tried. I've learned a lot here, but still consider myself a traditional cook and baker. I try to adjust most recipes for a healthier lifestyle without compromising taste and quality. Most of the time I'm lucky, sometimes not.
I won't ever rate a recipe less than 3 stars. I believe if you can't say something nice or constructive, don't say anything at all! I'm pretty good at reading recipes and know what would work for us, so most reviews are 4 or 5 star ratings.
I have 2 kids (22 and 24) who are very picky and one husband who will try most anything and tell me it's great! I recently "retired" from my position as a middle school Literature/Langauge Arts teacher, so now I have more time to roll around in the kitchen! I tend to lean towards easy, quick and healthy meals, but I'm not afraid of digging into more difficult recipes.
Below are photos I've taken of some of my favorite recipes found on Recipezaar:
I'm not really known for any special dish. Rather, I'm better known for rarely making the same dish twice! Life is too short not to try new things...all the time. :)
I adore chocolate anything. I think it should be a food group in itself. I also love spicy foods like Mexican and Italian dishes. It's wonderful to have so many fabulous recipes right here on one site!

Woodford Green Preparatory School
Welcome Message
At Woodford Green Prep School we believe in encouraging the children in our care to give their best. Experience has shown us time and again that when pupils are given a wealth of opportunities and allowed to explore them in an environment where expectations are high they will achieve, in whichever area of school life they have particular talent. All of this would be nothing, of course, if the children were not happy; this is our primary aim.
As a Head it could be easy to become detached from the real business of the school – the children – but I make every effort to combat this by taking a close interest in every aspect of the curriculum, extra-curricular activities and pastoral care. I believe that what you put in to something will determine what you get out of it; an attitude that sums up nicely what we try to instill in our pupils.
If, in reading through these pages, you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Mrs. J. Hart

Did you try Eggbeaters and find they were too small for you?
Do you need at least some platform?
If you have a pair of Eggbeaters in serviceable shape I would like to trade you for my black 2008-vintage Candy C's which I would classify as "lightly used"
Let me know what you've got, I would even throw some cash into the deal if a significant upgrade (but I can't use 4Ti's cause I'm too heavy).

New Ontario race venue ready for unveiling
By Dan Dakin - Published August 18, 2010
When 600 or so mountain bikers hit the start line for Sunday's Ontario cross country championships, they'll find themselves riding a brand new venue that was more three years in the making. Chico Racing, the organizers of the Ontario Cup mountain bike series, has turned a 200-acre former cross country ski site near Uxbridge into what they hope will be one of Ontario's favourite new XC race venues.
Chico's Adam Ruppel said the piece of land, known as Woodnewton, is about five kilometres from where he grew up and is owned by a friend he and brother Sean went to school with.
"We started working on (building) it about a year ago and we had been working on getting Aaron (the landowner) on board for about three years," Adam Ruppel said.
"Already it had an important element which was the good doubletrack. We needed to incorporate in singletrack so we built probably 3.5 km of really amazing singletrack."
The trail is broken up into 11 sections separated by pieces of doubletrack, making it an ideal course for safe passing. Some of the sections were built using machines and some were built using rakes and by riding on them over and over.
"There's no such thing as the perfect race course, but it will be as perfect a race course as possible," Ruppel said. "It's already one of my personal favourites. The only element missing is the extreme rocks or rootes, but it's the most flowing and fun and has the best downhills on the circuit. It's like a roller coaster ride at Canada's Wonderland. It's fun but challenging. There's about 600 feet of climbing per lap with lots of undulations."
Needless to say, the Chico crew is looking forward to showing it off this weekend.
"As race promoters, we're pretty proud. We want to build things that will keep things fresh and keep people excited," Ruppel said.
Pre-race favourites to take the Elite Men's title this weekend are Derek Zandstra (3 Rox Racing), Peter Glassford (Trek Canada), Andrew Watson (Norco Factory), or current series leader Adam Morka (Trek Canada). In the Elite Women's field Amanda Sin (3 Rox Racing), Sue Haviland (Norco Evolution) or current series leader Sue Stephens will battle it out for the Ontario Champion title.
As for the future, this course will likely only be used for special events, not for daily riding. But you can expect to see more races held on the site.

Derek Zandstra is set to race at the Ontario Championships

by Cathy Seeley, NCTM President 2004-2006NCTM News Bulletin, October 2004 (PDF)
Helping all students develop a high level of mathematical proficiency is more important than ever before. Nearly every state and province has raised high school graduation requirements for students, and almost everyone agrees that we must raise our standards and expect more of our students. Attempts to define what it means to raise standards or increase expectations have led to interesting, and sometimes contentious, discussions at the state or provincial and local levels.
The message of NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics is clear. Students need a balanced mathematics program that allows them to be actively engaged in mathematics lessons so that they can develop deep understanding, mathematical thinking, and the ability to apply what they learn to solve problems. Computational proficiency is an important part of such a balanced program. However, computational proficiency is not the primary goal of effective mathematics programs. Instead, it is a tool used in the service of deeper mathematics.
The kind of mathematics that students need today—that adult citizens need—goes far beyond what once was sufficient. In the past, it might have been enough for a literate citizen to know how to read, write, and do basic measurement and arithmetic in everyday life. In the past, it might also have been enough for students who were going to college to master a set of algebraic tools that enabled them to take higher-level mathematics or science courses. But in today's world, there is rapid change, pervasive technology, and jobs that didn't exist five years ago. These all call for a much broader set of mathematical skills, including the ability to reason and apply mathematics to an ever-changing range of problems. And the reality of life today is that many more of our students are likely to participate in some kind of postsecondary education than ever before.
In this environment, how do we raise the bar on the mathematical proficiency that we expect of all students? And how likely is it that all students can achieve the goals that we set?
In response to the first question, we can raise the bar on mathematical proficiency by choosing fewer topics to focus on at each grade level and by teaching those topics in great depth. "Depth" means, for example, that students know a lot about multiplication before they deal with an algorithm for performing multiplication. "Depth" means that when fractions are introduced, we teach in such a way that students really know what fractions represent, in what kinds of situations they might be useful, how they compare to one another, how they relate to what students know about whole numbers, what it means when the numerator or denominator increases or decreases, and so on. "Depth" means that before students confront the rules for operating with fractions— such as going straight across, turning upside down, cross multiplying, etc.—we ensure that they know a lot about fractions and a lot about operations. "Depth" means that students go beyond "solving proportions" to recognize and utilize proportional relationships in ways that powerfully connect the ideas of prekindergarten–grade 12 mathematics. And "depth" means that students earning credit for a high school algebra course know how to solve equations and how to use algebraic tools and representations to solve many kinds of problems both within and outside of mathematics.
"Depth" does not mean making all students master arithmetic procedures earlier or with more digits. A school system whose standards include the mastery of fraction operations earlier than the standards of another system does not necessarily have a more rigorous curriculum. "Depth" does not mean narrowing our curriculum down to numbers and operations alone at the expense of measurement, geometry, and data analysis, where those numbers and operations are actually used. "Depth" does not necessarily mean more exercises. Focusing on more arithmetic procedures or more digits at the expense of deeper explorations and problem solving is not the same as raising our expectations for all students. And "depth" does not have to be painful or boring.
In visiting schools, I have found many wonderful examples where students are learning mathematics in depth. In these classrooms, mathematics is taught in greater depth and students are actively engaged, which opens the door for all students to master challenging mathematics. "Depth" is not the same as difficult arithmetic. "Depth" comes when students "get it." This means that students need to see the contexts in which mathematical ideas arise, need to wrestle with those ideas in problems that take some time to solve, and need opportunities to represent and communicate what they learn. The next President's Message will address the nature of student engagement in these classrooms and how we can ensure that students learn what is taught.
If we define our mathematics curriculum—the standards developed in our states and provinces—in ways that focus on students knowing and using mathematics and not just doing hard arithmetic, we can achieve this depth. And if we make some accompanying shifts in how we structure our classrooms, we can ensure that all students have an opportunity to reach the ambitious goals that we set.
Is your state or province or school system shifting its curriculum and standards toward deep mathematics rather than hard arithmetic? Do you believe that all students can achieve high standards? What will it take to make this happen? What will keep it from happening? Share your thoughts during my next online Presidential Chat, scheduled for 4:00 p.m. ET, Tuesday, October 26. Visit www.nctm.org at that time to join the discussion.
Also, in November be sure to read the President's Message about student engagement and join a related discussion online at 3:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 16.

Huntersville, NC, Jun 25, 2012 -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA has selected 450 projects nationwide, including eight (8) in South Dakota, that are focused on helping agricultural producers and rural small businesses reduce energy consumption and costs; use renewable energy technologies in their operation; and/or conduct feasibility studies for renewable energy projects. Funding is made available through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), which is authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill.
"The Obama Administration is helping agricultural producers and rural small business owners reduce their energy costs and consumption – and by doing so is helping to create jobs, preserve our natural resources, and protect the environment while strengthening the bottom line for businesses." said Vilsack. "This is part of the Administration's "all of the above" energy strategy. Stable energy costs create an environment for sustainable job creation in rural America."
Secretary Vilsack made the announcement while touring a company in Huntersville, N.C. Meanwhile, in South Dakota Martins, Inc. based in Brookings is using a REAP grant to replace one of three gas pumps with a flex fuel pump; Drake Company, LLC based in Platte is using a REAP grant to make energy improvements to their operation with the installation of a ground mounted Solar PV Array which will provide energy for the business; Vogt's Repair based in Armour will use a REAP grant to replace HVAC system, lighting, thermal envelope of repair shop building; Earth Goods based in Hot Springs will use REAP grant for freezer replacement; Ulti-Med/ShinAmerica based in DeSmet will use a REAP grant to upgrade lighting in their facility to increase energy efficiency; Flagshooter, LLC based in Garretson will use a REAP grant to purchase a wind turbine and photovoltaic array (Solar) to produce electrical energy for the business; Larry Sorensen based in Flandreau will use REAP grant to construct a geothermal heating and cooling system for the farm's workshop; and Koeppe Seeds based in Claire City, SD will use a REAP grant to an old inefficient seed dryer with a new energy efficient dryer which will decrease energy usage by approximately 69%.
Today's announcement includes $412,304 in grant funding to 20 agricultural producers and rural businesses to conduct feasibility studies for renewable energy systems.
REAP offers funds for agricultural producers and rural small businesses to purchase and install renewable energy systems, make energy-efficiency improvements, conduct feasibility studies and energy audits, and provide renewable energy development assistance.
These federal funds leverage other funding sources for businesses. In all, USDA announced nearly $7.4 million in energy grants today. This announcement is an example of investments the Obama Administration is making to help create jobs and grow the rural economy. For a complete listing of Rural Energy for America Program grant recipients announced today, please click here.
Since taking office, President Obama's Administration has taken historic steps to improve the lives of rural Americans, put people back to work and build thriving economies in rural communities. From proposing the American Jobs Act to establishing the first-ever White House Rural Council, the President is committed to a smarter use of existing Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities. The Council is working to break down silos, find areas for better collaboration and improved flexibility in government programs, and work closely with local governments, non-profits and private companies to leverage federal support.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure programs through a national network of state and local offices. Rural Development has an active portfolio of more than $170 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

Reviewed Ricotta Pancakes with Roasted Golden Delicious Apples and Roasted Prosciutto
Jun 26, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"So delicious! It has that delicate lemon flavor of a german pancake, but with a creamy rich texture. I did as others suggested and halved the ricotta. I felt as if the batter was VERY fluffy, like a souffle, so it was a little tricky timing when they were done, so if this is your first time to making pancakes, this might be tough for you. ""
Reviewed Apple Pie
Jul 31, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I followed this recipe to a T, the top and bottom crust were perfectly baked, the inside was perfect, not too dry, not too watery. Only thing is I might add an extra apple, since I like my apple pie to be more of a deep-dish. So delicious with a wonderful crust!""
Reviewed Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce
Oct 23, 2010 in Food Network Community Toolbox on Food Network
"Delicious! And very easy too! I used trader joes peanut butter, the one with the natural oils that settle on top, I think a more natural peanut butter is best for this recipe since it has its oils so it won't dry out. I followed the directions and the peanut sauce was perfect consistency for dipping"

Sunday With Ferris
Okay..technically it is Monday.
Back Channels – Panther case dismissal needs explanation
For those new to the story – a brief recap: J. Christian Adams recently resigned from the Department of Justice due to widespread hostility to the equal enforcement of the law. Kevin points out the real issue in this scandal and it is something for every American to have concerns about:
In a follow-up article for the website Pajamas Media on Monday, Adams cited other cases, in Texas and Connecticut, showing the department's "hostility toward race-neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws."
The Justice Department fired back last week, saying in a statement that " … it is regrettable when a former department attorney distorts the facts and makes baseless allegations to promote his or her agenda."
I understand that some view the Panther incident as an unimportant blip on a historic election day. I get not wanting to make too much of an insignificant gang of thugs. But the message the Justice Department sends about hate groups and equal enforcement is important.
It is travesty of racial equality if this proves to be true, this administration would be guilty of knocking race relations back to the age of segregation. Sadly, the same party that controls the White House, Congress, and the Senate has found a place in the party structure for Jerry Jackson. He is the tall black panther brandishing a billy club and threatening the videographer. During primary races in February, Jerry Jackson won a committee seat within the Philly democrat party. One has to ask – is this the type of individual that is welcome in the 'big tent' of the Democrat party? Apparently so.
Megan Kelly at Fox News interviewed J. Christian Adams. The Department of Justice is refusing to prosecute cases of voter intimidation if the defendant is black and the victim is white:

Pancreatic Enzyme Replacements
Pancreatic Enzyme Replacements/Nutrient Depletion:
Folate: According to secondary sources, reduced folate levels may occur in some people taking pancreatic extracts (such as Pancrease®, Cotazym®, Viokase®, Creon®, Ultrase®) possibly due to reduced absorption.
Iron: Based on a review, pancreatic enzyme supplements, such as Cotazym®, Creon®, Pancrease®, Ultrase®, and Viokase®, may reduce iron absorption possibly by binding iron or altering pH (
). Clinical significance may be unlikely, except in people with cystic fibrosis who need pancreatic enzyme supplements for prolonged periods and who have other factors contributing to iron deficiency.

Welcome back to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast!
In today's podcast we talk to New York Times bestselling author Robert Greene about his new book Mastery. We discuss what it takes to become a master in any domain or field in life and the common path that great men like da Vinci, Darwin, and Mozart tread to achieve greatness.
Highlights from the show:
- How mastery is accessible to everyone
- The six steps to mastery
- Why drudgery is a vital step in the path towards mastery
- How to find a mentor that will guide you along your path to mastery
- How mastery is related to manliness
- And much more!
If you haven't already, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Mastery. It's especially pertinent for young men in their 20s. It's one of the best books I read in 2012.

Swords and Soldiers HD (Wii U eShop) Review
Two Tribes is certainly no stranger to the Wii U eShop. They have previously released the highly anticipated sequel, Toki Tori 2, and a series of updated, classic Two Tribes games for an unbeatable price. Now, they have remade another classic Two Tribes game for the Wii U eShop, complete with high-res HD graphics and Wii U GamePad integration. This remake is known as Swords and Soldiers HD, a game that originally enjoyed a release on the WiiWare service in June of 2009. I never played the game when it was first released on the Wii, though I've spent many hours challenging Swords and Soldiers HD on the Wii U.
Swords and Soldiers HD is a simplified real-time strategy (RTS) game that is presented with a side-scrolling perspective. Players control a team of soldiers based on one of three ethnic groups – Vikings, Aztecs, and Chinese – and must summon troops to carry out battle with the opposing team. While many RTS features appear in Swords and Soldiers HD – mining for gold, summoning troops, and building towers – they are presented with a simplified approach that makes Swords and Soldiers HD easy to learn and play for RTS newbies.
Players can also use the Wii Remote if they wish – utilizing the IR pointer to select options on the TV screen – though I preferred the Wii U GamePad. Using the Wii Remote does work just fine, though selecting icons on the Wii U GamePad is much faster, which is especially important during the tougher rounds.
There are a few ways to play Swords and Soldiers including campaign mode, skirmishes, and challenges. The campaign mode consists of three campaigns, with each one based on the three ethnic groups in the game. Skirmishes are single encounters that can be played against the computer, or another player. Lastly, there are three challenges that are unlocked after completing a group's campaign mode. Of the three, I spent the majority of my time with the campaign modes, though I will commend Two Tribes for including a lot of maps – small, medium, and large – in the skirmish mode, as well as some neat distractions in the game's challenge modes.
As its title suggests, Swords and Soldiers has received a wonderful HD upgrade. The game's world and characters drip with personality and look absolutely gorgeous on my HD TV. While the graphics are fantastic, they can only be fully enjoyed if you're playing with a Wii Remote. However, the game still looks great on the Wii U GamePad's screen.
Final Thoughts:
Swords and Soldiers HD is another great Wii U offering from Two Tribes. The game controls beautifully with the Wii U GamePad and there are approximately 3 to 4 hours of gameplay in the game's campaign mode – many more if you enjoy multiplayer skirmishes. There is currently no online multiplayer or DLC, but the game is a steal at its $2.99 price point on the Wii U eShop.
8.5/10 – Great

The following is a letter received from an Ontario renovator. He is now in the grip of the WSIB and asks a question regarding the renovator exemption. We'll follow up with a call to WSIB, but in the mean time, if there is any comfort, advice or information you can give him, here's your chance.
To the editor:
Our number came up and we were randomly selected by WSIB to be audited. While we are an above board company, we have not always be fully diligent receiving all the clearance certificates and are worried that we are going to be back-charged for any smaller sub-trades who may not be registered.
This whole process got me to thinking about the bill 119 regarding mandatory coverage for construction owners. I heard that renovation companies are exempt. But if I read the FAQ on the WSIB website regarding this issue, it seems to suggest that the exemption is only for one renovator per company. Any additional partners must pay with the proviso of one additional exemption. (Please see the second half of the answer below.)
To me this means that if a company has two or more equal partners who all work some of the time on the tools, only one will be exempt and the rest will pay. The answer also says that the additional exempt individual can never spend a day on the site; so when times are busy or when a partner is on holidays we have to stay off the site or fudge our records and hope we don't get hurt. Is that how you would read this?
I would call and ask, but they always ask for our account number and I don't want to be flagged. It is great to have a government agency that we are forced to pay into, but that everyone is afraid to use…
Here's what the website says:
Q. Who is exempted from Mandatory Coverage in the Construction Industry?
A. There is an exemption for Home Renovators who are contracted directly with the person occupying the residence and work exclusively in home renovation. Businesses are also allowed to select one executive officer or partner to apply for an exemption from coverage. This must be an individual who does not perform any construction work on any building site (including on-site supervision).

What people are saying…
I know for us in Ontario it is a long way to travel, but let me tell you, the OH events are right up behind my surgery in best decisions I have made in my life.
The connections I've made with other people who "get it", the inspiring stories, the motivational speakers, the yummy product sampling and giveaways all make it so worth while.
I hope to see other Ontarians there as well!
The camaraderie, the opportunity to meet the people behind the avatars on the website. Seeing and meeting for the first time, and hugging people who feel like old friends already. That is the really special part, the friendships, and connections to other wls patients, those who really know and understand the challenges and joys we go through after the big step of having a weight loss surgery. I have met and made friends who have touched my life and I will never forget and will always consider my wonderful friends. I am really looking forward to the next OH event! can't wait for it!
It was truly an enjoyment to participate with Obesity Help during the 2013 Anaheim National Conference. To see many familiar faces, engage with countless new ones, and to be surrounded by numerous invaluable resources to inform, educate, and provide an abundance of products and services for the bariatric community. This is an amazing event which I highly recommend to participate in. Congratulations and keep up this journey that has such a positive effect and motivational environment for those attending and networking through your community.
Since 2001, I have been part of ObesityHelp.com. OH is a wonderful organization with a wealth of information. Over the years, OH has provided for me significant exposure to the weight loss community. Through OH's vast internet presence, national conferences and local meetings, I have been able to establish myself in the weight loss community. Association with OH is essential for any surgeon wishing exposure to and association with the weight-loss community.
