Drive, hook and draw your way through two stunningly illustrated 18-hole courses using our unique style of game play. Here's a sneak "how-to" peak:
â—Ź Visualize your shot towards the cup. Just like the real thing, plan the simplest path that will get you on the green in the fewest number of strokes.
● Touch and hold the ball, and the fun begins! The clouds roll in, the fairway disappears, and then… you take your shot!
â—Ź Relying only on your memory and a steady finger, you must move the ball towards the cup while trying to avoid the shot-stopping trees and rocks, and penalty inducing water and sand traps. The hardest part is remembering where they are! Your shot can twist and turn in any way you'd like - the laws of physics don't apply!
● Finally, take your finger off the screen, the clouds push back, and you are left to jubilation, or, gut-wrenching heart-ache. It's that simple!
Here's more!
â—Ź Be social! Play up to 4-players at a time on the same device, or use Game Center to go one-on-one against friends and other golfers from around the world.
â—Ź Play Par Out Golf over and over again! The game is never the same twice and certainly not as easy as it sounds!
â—Ź Unlock new courses and earn badges the better you play!
â—Ź Use Game Center to quickly invite others to play. Be on the fairway with friends in seconds!
â—Ź Family friendly! Play with your kids. Teach them the game of golf. Or, they may teach YOU a thing or two.
â—Ź Earn bragging rights and crush your friends. Watch the Game Center leader-board and track scores from all over the world.
â—Ź Uncomplicated. Challenging. Addicting. Social. Just like the real thing!

An Unbiased Shakeology Review
There are a number of great supplments, meal replacements, and protein shakes available. But how do you know what will work for you? When you are working out hard and want to keep the gains of your hard work, what supplement do you use? If you want to Buy Shakeology, are you making the right choice?
One of the best ways to discover the right supplement for you is to evaluate your goals. Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to gain weight and muscle? Or do you want to just get healthy and enhance your nutrition?
If you want to gain muscle mass, then Shakeology is not for you. You're better off with a protein powder that has more calories, more protein, and more carbs. I want this to be a legitimate shakeology reviews unbiased.
If you're looking to tone and enhance your overall fitness than Shakeology can definitely help. Its a solid meal replacement with a good amount of protein and carbs to enhance your nutrition and workouts.
But if your looking to just enhance your overall nutrition, Shakeology is perfect for you. It not only has the perfect amount of carbs, protein, and nutrients, but it also has a ton of nutrients and vitamins that will jumpstart your overall health and well being. All the ingredients in this tasty shake are natural. You won't find a long list of chemicals in this supplement. Most whey protein powders contain a lot of unnatural chemicals that may do more harm to your body than good, but shakeology has nothing but natural ingredients that actually help your nutrition, not hurt it.
I hope this has been a helpful shakeology review.

Smoking is an established risk factor for cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death. However, most pertinent studies primarily relied on middle aged adults. We aimed to provide empirical evidence on the association of smoking with cardiovascular events and the benefits of smoking cessation in people aged 50 years or older. In a German population-based cohort study detailed information on lifetime smoking history was obtained from 8,807 individuals aged 50–74 years, without previous myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke. Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to estimate the impact of smoking on MI, stroke and cardiovascular death (CVD) as well as on the combined outcome of major cardiovascular events (MI, stroke or CVD). In addition, the impact of smoking and the benefits of smoking cessation were quantified by risk advancement periods (RAP). The cohort included 17.2 % current smokers, 31.7 % former smokers and 51.1 % never smokers. During a mean follow-up of 9.1 years, 261 participants experienced a first MI, 456 had a primary stroke and 274 died of cardiovascular reasons. Compared to never smokers, adjusted hazard ratios (95 % confidence intervals) of current smokers were 2.25 (1.62–3.12), 2.12 (1.65–2.73) and 2.45 (1.76–3.42) and RAPs were 19.3, 9.8 and 8.4 years for MI, stroke and CVD, respectively. Strong dose–response relationships were seen with both current and life-time amount of smoking. Most of the excess risk and risk advancement disappeared within 5 years after smoking cessation. Smoking is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular events even at older age. Smoking cessation is highly and rapidly beneficial also at advanced age.

When children experience difficulty in math it often begins when they are introduced to fractions. Before fractions, children have only known counting numbers and the one-to-one relationship between these numbers and the set of objects the number represents.
The difficulty can arise when the students need to think about rational numbers in a different way.
Imagine two children each with a cake.
Child one has the cake divided into six parts and child two's is in three parts.
Thinking additively as he has always done, child two thinks child one has more cake; he doesn't think of the cake as the unit.
Children need to learn to think differently in order to understand fractions.
You can guide your child through the process of learning fractions. Use these tips to help answer questions they might have about fractions:
This short lesson introduces fractions and illustrates the use of numerators and denominators.
The above lesson includes audio (so remember to switch on your speakers). Use the play/ pause button if you need to stop and start the lesson. Related Fractions Lessons |

25th Anniversary Colorado Business Hall of Fame
Milestone event is cause for recalling stories of laureates who helped shape the state
Maria MartinLook through the list of names that make up the Colorado Business Hall of Fame laureates, and it's hard to miss the big picture.
No history book could better illustrate the history of the Centennial State. The stories of the 136 honored over the past 25 years give readers a glimpse of the grit, creativity and generosity of the men and women who help shape Colorado's business community.
The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and Junior Achievement- Rocky Mountain Inc., co-sponsors of the event, award only those who have truly changed our state for the better, says Robin Wise, CEO of Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain.
"When you look across the landscape of Colorado, there isn't much that you can lay your eyes on that hasn't been in some way impacted by this group of laureates," Wise says.
"Look at agriculture, and the laureates who have something to do with getting water to the plains, and look at the ski industry and what has come out of that."
William Philpott isn't surprised that names like Felipe Baca, Walter Cheesman and John Iliff dominated the early years of Hall of Fame awards.
"Most people don't realize that the Gold Rush, which brought people to Denver in 1858, was something of a bust," says Philpott, associate professor of history at the University of Denver. "Half of the people who came to Denver left, but when gold was found in places like Central City, Denver became a supply center for the area."
And while mining drew people here, agriculture – a way to feed those people – became a thriving business, as did the necessity and desire to scatter those people through the city, and provide them with everything from banking to shopping.
Baca, a rancher who helped found Trinidad; Cheesman, whose enthusiasm for business helped him move the railroad through Denver and improve the city's water system; and Iliff, a cattle rancher and namesake of a theology school, helped turn Denver into a blossoming city.
Look at names like laureate Peter Seibert, founder of Vail Ski Resort, to see the tipping point, when tourism began to boom in the state. Engineering feats – such as the Eisenhower Tunnel, completed in 1979 – transformed travel in the High Country.
"By 1980, you can drive through the mountains," said Philpott, author of "Vacationland: Tourism and Environment in the Colorado High Country."
"This shift – this growing sense that tourism could become the major industry for some parts of the state – started after World War II."
Tourism did more than simply draw people fleetingly to the state, he says. It helped paint the picture of Colorado with vivid hues. Real estate mavens, bankers, college deans spread the word.
"They all pointed to the natural beauty and the whole idea of quality of life became important," Philpott said.
It was more than simply the ski resorts cashing in on the tourist trade – which is now, by most estimates, the state's second-largest industry.
Laureates like the Gart brothers and David and Renie Gorsuch tapped into the markets of winter sports apparel and equipment.
As youth were drawn to the state, aerospace companies and other high-tech companies recognized the market was a gold mine, and big businesses made Colorado their anchor.
Laureates like Ron Montoya reflect the growth of the technology industry in the state. But look to his background to see that in addition to business savvy, Hall of Fame laureates share a common love for Colorado and a determination to give back.
"I've been involved in every community and every board because I feel like the greatest reward is making an impact in the nonprofit world," says Montoya, owner of Innov8 Solutions, a supplier of telecommunication and electrical products.
"The feeling I get from serving the community far outweighs making a few bucks."
Wise notes that altruistic spirit has been essential to the panel of individuals with the challenging task of choosing Hall of Fame recipients. The name "Buell" carries a lot of weight to those in the state who love the theater, thanks to laureate Temple Buell, the late architect of some of Denver's most notable structures.
"Look at the schools and the hospitals and the foundations and scholarship that these men and women have built," Wise says. "It's not only their risk-taking, innovation and vision, but their desire to be philanthropic."
That aspiration might seem unusual, Philpott says, given that many individuals currently in the state are relatively new to Colorado.
"But this is a place that people immediately take pride in," Philpott says. "It's a wonderful place to live, and they want to give back."
Jake Jabs, president and CEO of American Furniture Warehouse, is an example of a laureate who moved to Colorado, fell in love with his new surroundings and opted to give back.
"I'm a farm kid from Montana who started with nothing," said Jabs. "Colorado has been good to me."
The Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Denver taps into one of the state's greatest potentials, he says.

Un-Flavoring School Milk
As the new school year begins, the battle over flavored milk continues. A new study found a drop in school milk consumption when children could not choose flavored milk, which makes up 71% of school milk sales. The study was funded by the Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP), the dairy industry's national marketing group, and sponsored by the School Nutrition Foundation.
MilkPEP launched a $1 million initiative last year to promote chocolate milk. The group, in partnership with the School Nutrition Foundation, recently hosted a webinar about their findings and why flavored milk should be kept in schools.
The webinar did not mention that flavored milk contains almost as much sugar as soda, leading to 75 extra calories per serving. These "discretionary" calories are from added sugar and fat, and should be consumed after "essential" calories that provide daily nutrient needs are consumed. A physically active 6-year-old child has 170-195 discretionary calories per day.
"Whether you eat 75 calories worth of chocolate candy with your plain milk, or drink chocolate milk where the candy is already included, it's still 75 extra calories," said Marlene B. Schwartz, PhD, Rudd Center Deputy Director. "This represents about 40% of the discretionary calories a child should consume in a day. The MilkPEP's research only shows that when you are used to chocolate milk, you prefer it to plain milk. These studies do not prove that children wouldn't drink plain milk if that were the only option available from the beginning. Many children have been given sugar-sweetened beverages from a young age and have come to expect all drinks to be sweet. Water and plain milk should be children's primary beverages."
FDA Releases Draft Guidelines on Federal Menu-Labeling Requirements
With the goal of helping Americans make healthier food choices, the federal health care reform legislation requires chain restaurants and vending machines with at least 20 locations nationwide to disclose calorie information to consumers. To help the food industry comply, the FDA recently released a set of guidelines.
The proposed guidelines include:
- Menus must display calorie information in the same size font as the item or price.
- Calorie information must also be displayed in online menus used for take-out.
- Menus must include the statement, "additional information is available upon request," which includes calories from fat, saturated fat, sodium, sugar, and other nutrients.
- Custom orders and specials appearing on the menu for fewer than 60 days are exempt from calorie disclosure.
- Vending machines must display the information in a "clear and conspicuous" manner.
The FDA is required to issue the regulations by March 2011 but will begin enforcing them after an unannounced time period.

Rudd Center Spotlight: Kevin W. Concannon
Kevin W. Concannon, U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services, will present No Nation Healthier than its Children on October 6 during the Rudd Center's Fall 2010 Seminar Series.
Nominated by President Obama and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Mr. Concannon oversees fifteen nutrition programs, which feed one in four Americans each year. The Food and Nutrition Service programs ensure that children are served well-balanced school meals; new mothers, infants, and small children receive healthy food; and Americans who are unable to afford food are provided with assistance.
Mr. Concannon previously served in many national public service organizations and has received several awards, including the Lifetime Human Services Award from the American Public Human Services Association.
He received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Social Work degrees from Saint Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia and continued his studies at the University of Southern Maine and the University of Connecticut.
Focus on Childhood Obesity
September is the first annual Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. The Rudd Center encourages parents, teachers, and other caregivers to help improve children's nutrition, physical activity, and body image.
You can :
- Pack healthy school lunches.
- Cook and eat meals together.
- Teach about the difference between a healthy snack and a treat.
- Reduce sedentary time including watching television, surfing the internet, and playing video games.
- Offer water and plain, low-fat milk as primary beverages.
FOOD FOR THOUGHTMarketing MonstrosityPrime real estate on grocery store shelves apparently isn't enough for Pop-Tarts, the sugar-laden toaster pastry that's traditionally been billed as breakfast on-the-go. Hoping to reach millions of eyeballs from around the world, day or night, Kellogg's recently opened the larger-than-life Pop-Tarts World, a 50-foot storefront and marketing mecca in the heart of New York City's Time Square. With a café serving items like Pop-Tarts Sushi, and computers that directly access Pop-Tarts Web sites and social media, this unsavory move certainly takes junk food marketing out of the box. |

2 Nowhere near as good as the 1st two what a cash in!dragonlord | 26/11/2007 | See all dragonlord's reviews (442)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Number 1 Games Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer The first ten miutes are very funny then the film just goes downhill and never really gets much better again. I remember laughing alot whilst watching Shrek 1 & 2 but, I found Myself waiting for something to be funny in Shrek 3. The story is very weak and they don't make good use of Donkey or Puss. Young children still might enjoy this but not many adults will which is a real shame. I have Shrek 1 & 2 on dvd I won't be buying this one. Rent before you buy please or you might regret it.
2 This years biggest... LETDOWNplumbernator | 19/09/2007 | See all plumbernator's reviews (66)Lets get this straight, Shrek 1 + 2 are 2 of the funniest animated films of recent years that hasn't come out of the Pixar machine!Shrek 3 is completely different. After getting his happily ever after twice already, did we really need to see him get it again (and again... oh yes Shrek 4 in 2009).No is the answer, the plot is a pathetic re-hash of the first 2 films, the new characters are extra baggage and the film focuses so much time on Shrek and Fiona that the films funny elements (Puss and Donkey) get lost in the void.Kids will love it, but in an attempt to make the film child-orientated the makers have forgotton to put in stuff for the sdults. a few of the jokes are mildly amusing but their is no getting away from the fact that, on the whole Shrek 3 is a sloppy mess!
2 RUN OUT OF JOKES!JohnDB | 30/07/2007 | See all JohnDB's reviews (13)The film had the odd funny joke but the rest of the film was lost. The film felt incomplete/Rushed and a terrible end to the triolgy. I recomend renting it, not buying it!**(2007)
1 More like Shrek The "Turd!!!"thekingofswing | 12/01/2008 | See all thekingofswing's reviews (12)The television review's stated that it was the biggest comedy of the year and the best one yet, what lies.An awful sequel, a couple of moment's made me giggle very breifly, but apart from that it was a complete bore of a film. I enjoyed Shrek 1 and 2 and enjoy other kid's/animation films, but this was a complete waste of money.
1 Nothing on the first 2!!Hindy88 | 18/08/2007 | See all Hindy88's reviews (1)Went to see this with my girlfriend and her little sister and if they hadn't been there I would have left. Maybe 2 averagely funny jokes in the whole thing with the rest being completely boring. Unlike the first 2 films where the jokes were often aimed at all ages this film felt really childish and aimed at making young kids laugh, not their parents. Nothing like the first two and not at all worth seeing.

"If that name is a Miley Cyrus pseudonym I'm going to bed. Dang, it's getting feminist up in this track."Naturally, "that name" refers to Chimimanda, whose contribution you later dismissed as an annoying "soundbite." Okay.Teachable Moment Two: Learn about a culture other than your own.Look, White Writerperson, I imagine your cozy Cave of White Clulessness is comfy and fantastic. I'm sure it has central air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter and a friendly, well-dressed Negro gentleman at the door to help you with with a smile when your non-burdens get too heavy to bear on your own. And all the coleslaw and unseasoned chicken one could ever want, I'm sure. Color me relieved envious, really.But here's where you get to be a good Privileged Person and learn about a culture other than your own. I know Chimamanda, a Regular Black Person Who Isn't Doing Anything Worth "Borrowing," isn't a pop culture icon. But do yourself a favor and look her up. She wrote Half of a Yellow Sun, for fuck's sake.To suggest that Miley would dig deep enough into the barrel of Blackness, doing overtime at the Appropriation Station to adopt a Nigerian pseudonym is telling: You, too, know how serious your skinfolk take their culture vulturing. It's a full time job. So vast, our Sea of Awesomeness, right?
Teachable Moment Three: Learn how influence works.French fries do not influence potatoes. Britney does not influence Janet. Justin does not influence Michael Jackson. Lessors do not influence The Great Ones. Similarly, Miley Cyrus does not influence Beyoncé. Now bite your motherfucking tongue.
To say such a thing is akin to saying that the car influences the paved road on which it travels. The Great Ones Blacked Excellently so that the latecomers could siphon that Black Excellence for profit and Blackpoints. Not vice versa.

Open Thread: Beyocalypsé Now
By Arturo R. García
While we were sleeping, Beyoncé was not. Gaga may have Artpop, but B just made an art of the drop.
In case you missed it or just checked your Twitter feed, Beyoncé released an entire album out of the blue (Ivy), though it's only available on iTunes until Dec. 21.
But the self-titled album was also accompanied by a "visual album" — basically, she went out and shot videos for every track and released snippets of those on YouTube. For my money, "Pretty Hurts" is already the best dramatic trailer we're not going to see in theaters this Christmas, "Blow" is a spot-on disco homage/future mashup favorite and somebody's already seizing on "Partition" to write a think-piece about how Miley Cyrus is MOAR FEMINIST than Beyoncé.
We'll put some more of the video clips up under the cut and invite you to give your thoughts on those or the album as a whole under the cut.
Please Stop: The Trans Joke at the Spike Video Game Awards
By Guest Contributor Samantha Allen, cross-posted from The Border House
[Trigger Warning: Discussion of transphobic joke, real-life experiences of transphobia.]
Like many graduate students, I was still finishing up last week's work at 6 PM on a Saturday. I put on Spike TV's annual Video Game Awards (re-branded this year as VGX) to have some background noise while I put the finishing touches on a paper.
I expected the usual: some Michael Bay-esque graphics packages, some puerile pandering to their core demographic of adolescent boys, some Mountain Dew, some Doritos, some trailers. I can stomach that, even laugh at it. Less than five minutes into the program, however, co-host Joel McHale jokingly put the rumors to rest that Wario had "undergone sex reassignment surgery."
If you're reading this, you might know that a joke like that is politically ill-advised. It violates the comedic wisdom that one should punch up rather than punch down. It not only repeats the exoticizing focus on transgender people's genitals, it also casts transgender identity itself as something scandalous and laughable.

What names are normal? Shifting the center of the world
By Guest Contributor Lisa Wade, PhD; originally published at Sociological Images
Sociologists observe that cultures are centered around some people and not others such that members of some groups just seem like people and others are perceived as deviations from that presumed norm.
Names are part of how we divide the world into the normals and the deviants. Illustrating this, the sketch comedy duo Key and Peele are super creative in this 3 minute skit. They reverse the white-teacher-goes-into-the-inner-city trope and put a non-white teacher into a suburban school. As he calls roll, the skit center HIS reality instead of that of the white, middle class kids. He pronounces their names like stereotypically black names, confusing the heck out of the kids, and never considering the possibility that the names he's familiar with isn't how all names really are.
It's not a safe skit — it potentially reinforces the conflation of non-white and urban and the stereotypes of inner city students and the names low-income black parents give their kids — but it does a great job of playing with what life might be like if we shifted the center of the world.
Counterpoint by Tamara Winfrey Harris, Racialicious editor
I have wrestled with the popularity of this Key & Peele skit for a while. And I'm afraid, for me, that it doesn't pass the race bias smell test. The comedy here, while it may appear "edgy," is really business as usual. The bit doesn't "punch up," instead the blow lands right smack where it always does: on black cultures and, particularly, the poor, working class and urban. I agree with friend of the R, Lisa Wade, when she says the skit uniquely centers the point of view of the black teacher and his idea of "normal." Sadly, though, that decentering of whiteness is the joke. The audience is meant to laugh at a situation where creative pronunciations of common, European-derived names is acceptable. How absurd! It's okay if this skit makes us laugh. But we need to recognize how and why it is problematic.
FYI, Key & Peele have a habit of going to the funny black name well.
Will Black Woman-Directed Docs Make it to the Oscars?
Shadow & Act big ups the phenomenal work being done by black women documentarians. Out of 151 Academy Award-qualifying documentaries (admittedly a large pool), more than five were directed by black women, including Free Angela and All Political Prisoners by Shola Lynch and Valentine Road by Marta Cunningham. Jai Tigget writes, "…black documentary filmmakers – and black women in particular – are doing groundbreaking work that continues to be overlooked even within the doc and independent film space. The films listed above have been awarded and recognized widely on the film festival circuit, but many are still struggling to get mentioned on the shortlists that will push them towards serious Oscar consideration."
Also included among the qualifying documentaries by black women, Yoruba Richen's The New Black, about race, sexuality, and the black church.
Rumour Mill: Casting for the Man of Steel sequel and CW's The Flash pilot
By Kendra James and Arturo Garcia
The ups and downs of being a DC Comics fan have never been more apparent than this past week. The WB cast a big screen Wonder Woman (Israeli actress, Fast and the Furious alum Gal Gadot)… but not for her own movie. She'll be sharing the stage with Henry Cavil's Superman, Ben Affleck's supposedly older and wizened Batman, and a potential mutual adversary in Lex Luthor. Luthor who will, according to casting rumours, most likely be African-American, echoing the WB's already demonstrated willingness to race-bend with Perry White in Man of Steel. Personally, I don't think this should be much of a stretch of the imagination for anyone who grew up on the Superman cartoon of the 90s.
On the heels of a fantastic Arrow mid-season finale, the CW revealed a casting call for their Flash pilot showing their intentions to making Iris West Allen (The Flash's –Barry Allen– main love interest and Wally West's –another Flash– aunt) and her extended family African-American woman rather than white, as she's been traditionally portrayed in the comics. If the pilot and ensuing show is anywhere near as good as Arrow, a diverse cast of main characters won't be an issue (even if I am still annoyed about Sin.)
With DC's television and cinematic universes both expanding quickly, we thought it was time for another quick chromatic casting.

Youth Protection Begins With YOU
The Boy Scouts of America takes great pride in the quality of our adult leadership. Being a BSA leader is a privilege, not a right. The quality of the program and the safety of our youth members call for high-caliber adult leaders. We work closely with our chartered organizations to help them recruit the best possible leaders for their units.
The BSA's rigorous volunteer application and screening process works toward the goal of having all our adult volunteers represent the values and character outlined in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. It includes local selection and screening, national criminal background checks, and verification that the applicant is not listed in the Ineligible Volunteer Files maintained by the National Council. Unfortunately, there is no current screening technique that can identify and screen out everyone who is unfit for Scout leadership, but the quality of our volunteer base is significantly enhanced by learning as much as possible about an applicant for a leadership position.
Mandatory Youth Protection Training for Adult Volunteers
Youth protection is of paramount importance to the Boy Scouts of America. Recognizing that this commitment requires sustained vigilance, the BSA has continued to develop and enhance its efforts to protect youth. BSA has taken the following steps:
- Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers, regardless of their position.
- New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training.
- Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.

Cancer woman
Cancer woman personality traits and characteristics
Passionate, volatile and exciting the Cancer woman has an emotional strength and vulnerability which many find to be highly feminine and uniquely sexy. Deeply caring and sympathetic lovers they will do anything for a partner whom they're in love with.
Highly intuitive, she has a natural talent for nurturing, often knowing exactly how to make her partner feel comfortable and secure. Loving, gentle, intimate and understanding she is kind hearted but not soft, and will often know exactly what you're feeling and how best to support you emotionally.
Romantic and devoted, she takes relationships and her partner seriously, and once settled with a mate she enjoys the home and everything associated with it. Cancer women often have an appreciation of food and a talent for cooking. They're also often exceptionally friendly and love to help others and feel needed. That lady at your office who is always hugging people when they're feeling down, is probably a Cancer...
If you're able to pick up on other people's emotions this is a wonderful, caring and warm sign, and everything you've read about them being nurturing and supportive is true. Possibly the most perfect partner you could wish for. If you aren't sensitive enough, or can't be bothered to nurture her at appropriate times, then your perfect Cancer lover may become increasingly distant and argumentative as your tally of neglect grows.
Due to the above in the long term this is an all or nothing woman. She often does better with a strong but caring partner, rather than an ultra-sensitive one. This is a woman who sometimes wants a partner to tell her to shut up and just hold her. Debating, analyzing, justifying moods, behavior, etc may get the job done eventually, but it's very counter productive.
Cancer woman questions
What are Cancer women like in bed?
In line with the comments on shifting moods, sex can be highly variable and dynamic. If you're in-tune with her this can make for a fantastic range of lovemaking styles, though often with an underlying romantic current and flavor. A skilled partner can use that emotional intensity to great advantage. An overly lazy or selfish partner may find it not so appealing.
Are Cancer women kinky?
This is always a hard question to answer, as one person's idea of kinky can be very different to someone else's. Individuals also vary a lot, so this is a bad area to generalize in. All things being equal though, Cancer women are dependent on their mood. At times they can be, and at times they don't want to be. There is a strong argument that it's a good thing. Predictable partners get boring much faster. On the other hand if you like to reach for the candle wax at 8pm every Tuesday... sometimes you are going to be out of luck. Or punched.
What's it like dating an Cancer woman?
Cancer is an unpredictable sign, with a little of everything at different times. This can make them far more exciting and unpredictable lovers than the standard nurturing image would portray. If you enjoy nurturing your partner it's a win:win. If you're the type who often neglects a partner it's a lose:lose.
Cancer is a highly sensitive and intuitive sign, always aware of the needs and feelings of others. Unless they're with an equally intuitive and sensitive lover however they need to be very communicative and open (which they typically aren't) or there's a danger of them feeling that others can understand them, but simply choose not to care.
This situation gets rapidly compounded, because Cancer doesn't like confrontation, and prefers to withdraw to heal when hurt, leading to feeling resentful and taken for granted, and eventually becoming argumentative and feeling like a martyr.
How loyal are Cancer women?
Fiercely loyal and protective, she will do anything to ensure the happiness and security of her loved ones. Cancer women are amongst the most loyal IF they love their partner. If they don't love their partner then all bets are off (the same as for every other sign).
How to know if a Cancer woman loves you?
Cancer is a naturally nurturing sign. If they care, then they tend to show it fairly obviously and readily. Hugs, questions about your day, troubles, worries, picking up on your moods etc are a good indicator. On the other side of things, withdrawing if offended or hurt is an equally good indicator. If they care about someone they become very easily offended by that person. For a full description of how a Cancer woman acts when in love please see our article on Cancer in love
How to understand your Cancer woman
Your Cancer will have her own unique personality traits. This article talks about sun signs, however there are many other factors. For example her moon sign determines her emotional personality which affects whether she is sensitive, romantic, loyal etc.
With her date, time and location of birth these other factors can be calculated for a complete picture of her personality. To explore this further please see our article on astrology compatibility readings.
Who are some famous Cancer women celebrities?
We have a list of the top 400 most famous Cancer celebrities and historical figures.
How to keep a Cancer woman?
The common advice is to tell Cancer that you love them 20 times a day. While this certainly works, it misses the point that they want to be understood. One genuine and passionate "i love you" at the right time is worth 20 random ones.
More than anything then, Cancer compatibility hinges on a partner who can read and empathize with their moods. Some people are more gifted at this than others, but anyone can do it if they make the effort.
How to make a Cancer woman fall in love with you?
This is a question which is very hard to give a general answer on, as no two Cancer women are totally identical. The key is understanding her and what she finds most attractive in a partner. Astrology can provide a wealth of information to enable this, however natal charts need to be prepared and studied to do so. Please see the article on seduction and astrology for more information on this.
How to know if your Cancer woman is your soulmate?
Relationships are complex things, comprising hundreds of individual elements. Sun signs are one of these, however a detailed analysis of everything is required to find all the strong and weak areas. Please see the article on astrology and soulmates for more information on how astrology can be used to determine if someone is your soulmate.
Cancer woman long distance and online relationships
Online relationships and long distance relationships have unique challenges. One of these is that you get to see one side of someone very clearly: their personality. You don't however get to see anything about other factors such as sexual attraction. My compatibility reports address this by scoring all factors alongside each other so you can see the whole picture, with any strong or weak areas highlighted. To explore this further please see my article on online relationships.
Do Cancer women cheat?
Generally they don't. But, this is the type of question that often gets asked or answered whenever astrology is discussed. Individual experiences are then quoted back and forth as proof that Cancer women do or don't. Individuals get offended by general statements that don't apply to them, and everything goes downhill fast. The diagram below shows the problem here:
Astrology can predict someone's personality very accurately when the placement of all their planets is calculated. In that situation we can also predict their most likely behavior.
From just someone's sun sign however we can only predict some aspects of their personality and it's too much of a leap to try and predict behavior from just those. Astrology has fairly precise limits. This is an example of an area where sun signs are just too broad and clumsy to give an answer. A real compatibility reading is required to answer the question.
What not to say to an Cancer women you're dating
Like other emotional signs, Cancers do become jealous and insecure fairly easily. Unless you want to create a lot of work for yourself repairing the damage, then jokes and insensitive comments regarding her or another woman's attractiveness are often best avoided. Unlike the women of some other signs, this is a lady and not "one of the boys!"
Cancer woman gifts
We have a dedicated section for Cancer woman gifts with examples of the types of gifts which Cancer women enjoy within various categories from naughty to practical, including reader submitted suggestions.
Cancer woman dating advice
No advice will ever apply to every Cancer woman as they are all unique in various ways. I specialize in offering tailored advice based on your unique personality and hers together, as one without the other isn't nearly as useful. My astrology readings solve real relationship problems for real people every day. For more information please see the article on relationship advice.
How compatible are you with your Cancer woman?
This depends on far more than just your sun signs. The complete picture of your personality and hers is determined by numerous planet placements at the time of birth. To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results. This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information - everything from how they view you and how to turn them on to the best way to avoid arguments.
We specialize in providing accurate and affordable astrology compatibility readings delivered promptly via email. This reading explores everything about your relationship, including a detailed analysis of your personality and your partner's personality. We examine areas ranging from sexual attraction to problem solving. Each topic has clear explanations, scores and comparisons to averages. The relevant astrological charts are included, together with notes of how the information is derived from them.
Average size is 100 pages. The reading is $27 and includes an unconditional guarantee, free email questions and free revision if you later find a more accurate birth time for you or your partner.
All the analysis is based off of the date, time and location of birth for you and your partner. Ideally the times should be as accurate as possible, but we can work with the best information you have.
Below is a questionnaire which shows the information we will need:

No! This article is based only on sun signs. In order to provide a lot of people with information those are a convenient and fast way to generalize, but far from conclusive at this broad level. There are many other planet placements which all affect someone's personality.

Gabon: Where the Wild Things Are
Many African safaris are so canned you might as well be in Busch Gardens. Not so Mountain Travel Sobek's adventure to Gabon, where travelers channel their inner Jane Goodall and board flat-bottomed boats with Pygmy guides to search for primates. Spearheading it all is Allen Bechky, author of the Sierra Club's Adventuring in East Africa and an expert in remote wildlife locales. For 17 days, explore the savannas of Loango National Park and the rain forests of Lopé National Park and its Mikongo Camp. You're looking for western lowland gorillas, chimps, elephants, and bush babies. Nights are spent in a mixture of lodges, hotels, and tented camps, most with private baths; the enchanting nocturnal sounds of Africa will be your lullaby. The expedition also detours to Point St. Catherine Beach for a day of swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, fishing for African threadfin, and spotting humpback whales. Travelers can also tick hippos, forest buffalo, duikers, crocodiles, fishing owls, red river hogs, and more off their safari lists while dining on French cuisine. Hey, Jane Goodall never had it so good.
Departures: August 10–26, November 23–December 9
Price: From $9,995, including lodging, meals, and ground travel within Gabon; $350 for park fees and $500 for internal airfare; originates in Libreville

ENG 402.3 (01) : TOPICS IN ANGLO-SAXON AND MEDIEVAL LITERATURE: The Saga of Burnt Njal and the Icelandic Conversion Period
T1 M 1:00 (Richard Harris)
Category 1
In this half-class (also offered as a graduate seminar) we will learn to read Old Icelandic by working with graded reading selections in the original from texts describing the early collision of the dynamic heathen culture of the Norsemen with Christianity, in Iceland but also on the continent. The new and alien religion of the White Christ makes its steady way up from the South, its sometimes violent missionaries and oppressively supportive converted kings cutting harsh swaths through traditional North Germanic culture not altogether consonant with the traditionally received Gospel message. Old Icelandic literature shows interest in the subsequent influences of Christianity on the Icelandic people, once nominally converted to this foreign religion, studying the range of spiritual sensitivity and the stages of perception by which its teachings came to a strangely reluctant and defiantly qualified acceptance among the population. In Modern English translation we will read Njal's saga, a narrative much concerned with the growing influence of Christianity on Icelandic society in the thirteenth as well as in the eleventh century.
ENG 402.3 (02) : TOPICS IN ANGLO-SAXON AND MEDIEVAL LITERATURE: Medieval Texts in Original and Adaptation
T2 M 1:00 (Peter Robinson)
Category 1
This course asks: how do we read texts from the medieval age? The course will focus on medieval English literature, from Beowulf to Malory, moving in two directions at once: two directions pointing in completely opposite directions, with the tension between the two shaping this course. The first direction is backward, and as if through a microscope: we will look as closely as we can at particular texts, particular manuscripts, particular original materials, asking: who made them? why? for whom? what do they contain? what is their history? The second direction is forward, and as if through the other end of the microscope: we will look at modern adaptations and representations, especially in the digital era, of these same medieval materials. We will ask how changes in material culture affect every aspect of how we communicate, and we will survey the shifts from oral to written culture, from manuscript to print, and then from print to digital, examining how stories such as Beowulf or King Arthur are transformed as they move from medium to medium. This course is designed to be complementary to ENG 420.3, taught in Term 1. Some materials (e.g. the Canterbury Tales) will be examined in both courses, but from different perspectives.
ENG 406.3 (62) : TOPICS IN 17TH-CENTURY LITERATURE IN ENGLISH: The Fashioned Self: Birth of the English Gentleman and Gentlewoman
T2 T 9:30 (Arul Kumaran)
Category 2
The code of conduct known in medieval times as "courtesy" slowly transformed into the notion of "civility" over the sixteenth century and, later, into "civil behavior" from the seventeenth century onwards. This course will study how this code of civil behavior gave birth to the idea of the "English Gentleman and Gentlewoman" by looking at some of the most famous conduct manuals of the seventeenth century, such as King James I's Basilikon Doron, Henry Peacham's The Complete Gentleman and Gentlewoman, and Richard Brathwaite's The English Gentleman, as well as other, not-so-obvious self-fashioning texts such as Thomas Deloney's Jack of Newberry, romance narratives by some of the University Wits, some of Shakespeare's comedic characters, Jonson's city comedies, and some late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century popular pamphlets. We will consider, among other things, how gentleman/woman-making was a strategy for projection of power and how the newly empowered middle classes sought to acquire and project power by adopting forms of self-fashioning originally prescribed for and practiced by the aristocratic and ruling classes.
ENG 414.3 (02) : TOPICS IN 19TH-CENTURY BRITISH LITERATURE: Literature and Revolution
T2 R 9:30 (Len Findlay)
Category 3
In this seminar we will begin by studying participant and scholarly accounts of revolution in 18th- and 19th-century Europe (with a nod to the United States and to Haiti). Once we have considered major theories and memoirs of revolution, we will then apply what we have learned to five novels in which revolution of one sort or another is prominent. The novels in question are Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities, Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South, George Eliot's Felix Holt the Radical, and Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge. The principal varieties of revolution we will investigate are political, scientific, industrial, agrarian, and sexual. We will pay close attention to how different kinds of revolution reinforce or conflict with each other.
ENG 416.3 (01) : TOPICS IN 19TH-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE: Emily Dickinson
T1 R 9:30 (William Bartley)
Category 3
We will read the poems of Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) who, in her lifetime, was an unknown, small-town poet with a Miltonic sense of vocation, and whose greatness is as undeniable as her strangeness. We will try to accommodate the latter and to account for the former. To that end we will examine her intellectual preoccupations as we learn to find our way through the inseparable complexities and idiosyncrasies of her style—a passage illuminated by attending to her appropriations and modifications of literary tradition, to the distinctive features of her poetic personae, to her techniques of composition, and to the textual issues raised in recent scholarship. Furthermore, we will examine the ways in which Dickinson is shaped by and engages the legacies of Puritanism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism in New England culture. In the end, we will discover (among other possibly congruent qualities — for example, as one critic says, Dickinson writes "with a brutality that could stop a truck") a ruthlessly precise, rebellious, and profoundly incisive intelligence in critical, passionate engagement with the problems of religious belief, personal identity and love.
ENG 420.3 (01) / CMRS 401.3 (01) : MEDIEVAL GENRES: Representing the Past in the Digital Age
T1 T 1:00 (Peter Robinson)
Category 1
This course will examine instances, techniques, and implications of the digital turn in our representation and understanding of the past. We will look at outstanding cases of representation of the past in digital form, in terms of particular objects (Codex Sinaiticus; the Hengwrt Chaucer; the Bayeux Tapestry; medieval Books of Hours) and in terms of large-scale digital libraries (the Perseus Project; Early English Books Online). The course will address questions of remediation: to what extent are our perceptions of the past, and indeed the past itself, altered by the digital medium? How does this change understanding; how does it impact on our access to, and participation with, the past? The course will also look at the technologies behind these digital forms: text encoding systems and digitization methodologies, such as those of Google Books, and at the rise of new forms of scholarship derived from and enabled by the digital medium — in particular, the advent of crowd sourcing methodologies and their impact on scholarly editing. The course will also introduce fundamental digital tools used to make websites, and give students the opportunity to use these to make their own web pages relating to texts or other objects from the past. The course will draw substantially on materials and examples relating to medieval English literature, as well as the classical and renaissance periods. This course is designed to be complementary to ENG 402.3, taught in Term 2. Some materials (e.g. the Canterbury Tales) will be examined in both courses, but from different perspectives.
ENG 446.3 (01) : TOPICS IN GENRES AND CONTEXTS OF MODERN LITERATURE: Representations of the City in Indigenous North American Literatures
T1 R 3:30 (Nancy Van Styvendale)
Category 4
Following from Renya Ramirez's notion of the city as "Native Hub," this course theorizes the representation of urban spaces and identities in the literary works of Indigenous writers from both Canada and the United States. While the city has sometimes been constructed as a site of alienation and loss for Indigenous peoples, it is also a gathering place, a place that brings together peoples, politics, cultures, and traditions, establishing new relationships and catalyzing social change. This course provides students with a solid foundation in concepts and theories central to the study of Indigenous literatures in general (such as nationalism, regionalism, relationalism, feminism and others), while honing in on the material conditions, policies and practices that shape urban experience and its expression in literary texts. We will look at the Termination and Relocation policies that shaped migrations to the city in the 60s and 70s, and analyze articulations of both dispossession and resiliency that continue to characterize the urban experience, highlighting the movement between and interconnectedness of reserves/rural areas and cities. Students will have the opportunity to participate in local Indigenous community- and arts-based organizations as part of their coursework. Readings may include works from the following authors: N. Scott Momaday, Jeannette Armstrong, James Welch, Sherman Alexie, Richard Wagamese, Tomson Highway, and Cherie Dimaline.
ENG 462.3 (02) : TOPICS IN 20TH CENTURY BRITISH LITERATURE: Basil Bunting and British poetry since the 1960s
T2 W 1:00 (Hilary Clark)
Category 4
This course will focus on British poets since the 1960s who, relative to a fairly recognizable mainstream, have been seen as or have positioned themselves as "other." Starting with Bunting's long poem Briggflatts (1965) and some of his Odes, we will explore a poetics reaching back to Pound, and poets represented in Peter Quartermain's and Ian Caddel's important anthology Other: British and Irish Poetry since 1970.
ENG 466.3 (01) : TOPICS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY CANADIAN LITERATURE: Representing Society and Social Change in Western Canadian Fiction
T1 W 1:00 (Francis Zichy)
Category 4, Canadian
In this seminar we will examine a number of Western Canadian novels and short stories under the major heading of the creative response to social change from the first decade of the twentieth century to the late 1970s. Among the topics to be addressed: shifting relations between farm and town; developments in gender construction and gender relations; challenges to traditional ideas of marriage and the family; the challenge to religion and emerging forms of spirituality; shifting definitions of class and class relations; various representations of Indigenous people. We will, then, read these Western Canadian novels and short stories as imaginative responses to rapidly changing social life in Western Canada from the early years of the twentieth century through the late 1970s. Readings include: Robert Stead, Grain; Sinclair Ross, As For Me and My House; Robert Kroetsch, The Studhorse Man; Guy Vanderhaeghe, Man Descending.
T2 R 3:30-5:00 pm (Lisa Vargo)
"So, what are you going to do with that English degree?"
If you've ever found yourself at a loss for an answer to this question, this course may be for you.
Internship students earn three credit units while gaining valuable experience in
- research,
- public relations,
- writing for publication,
- grant-writing,
- editing,
- teaching writing, and
- promoting literacy.
Interns provide approximately 80 hours to the organization over a twelve-week period under the joint supervision of Prof. Lisa Vargo and a workplace supervisor. The time commitment is comparable to that expected in other honours seminars. In addition, all interns meet as a class fortnightly throughout the term. One short incident analysis, two brief journal entries, and one substantial term paper are required. There is no final written examination.
Internships are currently available with such organizations as Sage Hill Writing Experience, Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre, the Saskatchewan Literacy Network, the University Library, the University Learning Centre, Student Enrolment and Services Division, the International Student and Study Abroad Centre, Saskatoon Correctional Centre, and Sherbrooke Community Centre. Other placements are planned as well.
Interested students should contact Prof. Lisa Vargo (firstname.lastname@example.com) for further information on available internships and how to apply.
T2 (Wendy Roy)
The Department of English Honours Colloquium is now a compulsory part of the Honours program. The Colloquium consists of an oral presentation of a short scholarly paper at a conference of Honours students. The paper is normally based on a paper already prepared, or in preparation, for a 300 or 400-level course. This will be a one- or two-day event in early February. In preparing the paper for this event, students should seek the advice of a faculty member. Note that this course is required for all Honours and Double Honours students, but has no credit unit value. Students will receive informal feedback, but no formal evaluation.
T2 T 1:00 (Allison Muri)
Category 5
(Course offered by the ICCC)
Prerequesite: Completion of the majority of the Minor in Digital Culture and New Media
This is a capstone seminar in which advanced principles of history, theory, and design are applied to a suitable interdisciplinary project in new media creation and commentary. The seminar, which builds upon the foundations established throughout the course of study, focuses on approaches to be taken in defining project objectives and scope, researching suitable contexts, and designing and implementing a new media project. Design philosophy and methods are discussed and explored in the context of the particular assignment. The course requires that the students work in groups to achieve a unified production, which may include a formal essay in addition to blogs, digital films, art, and/or soundscapes published online. Group interaction and performance is monitored throughout. When possible, guest lectures from various industrial and other representatives will be provided to enhance the student's design experience. In this course, we will practice some of the roles and activities of participatory culture. The course builds on the foundation of traditional research skills, technical skills, writing skills, and critical analysis that you have learned throughout your undergraduate education, but also involves "new media" skills of collaboration, networking, negotiation, problem solving, and play to publish and interact online.
