VISIT THE DENTAL SAFARI
by Patricia L. Cook The Spanish word armadillo means “little armored one.” There are twenty species of the odd looking mammals that wear hard shelllike armor. • Armadillos are not rodents or marsupials and are unrelated to opossums as well. They are mammals, with bony plates covering their back, head, and legs. Most also have bony plates or rings covering their tails. They are the only living mammals with such coverings. • Armadillos originated in South America, which is where most are still residing. The only species in the United States is the ninebanded armadillo, which is found mostly in the southeastern states. They are about the size of an average house cat, ranging in length from 24-31 inches (61-79 cm) and weigh between 8 and 15 pounds (3-7 kg). • The nine-banded armadillo has been spotted as far north as Illinois and Kansas. So far, the northeastern, western and cold northern states have not had to deal with the armored critters. Canadians will probably never see them unless they come south to visit! • Armadillos lack sufficient body fat, especially newborn pups, to endure cold weather. They cannot survive temperatures averaging 28° F (-2°C) or lower. turn the page for more!

ARMADILLOS (cont’d) • Along with their need for warm weather, armadillos also need water. They tend to be found in woody areas, grasslands, wetlands and areas with thorny brush. • Armadillos can wreak havoc on lawns and fields. They are considered pests by homeowners and farmers. The biggest threats to armadillos are humans in cars and their pets; mainly dogs who easily catch and kill young and old armadillos. Most of the animals that humans see are the dead carcasses on roadways. Their inability to get out of the way of automobiles has earned them the nickname “Hillbilly Speed Bumps!” • A notable reaction when nine-banded armadillos are frightened is that they will actually jump up with their arms up (as in a “hands in the air, you’re under arrest” pose). When autos hit these critters in the road, it is not usually the tires that hit them but the front bumpers and grills when they jump up! • Another nickname given to armadillos during the Great Depression of the 1920’s was “Hoover Hogs.” This was because of the promise made by President Herbert Hoover that he would put “a chicken in every pot” for Americans. Many poor people turned to armadillos in their pots due to the collapse of the US economy after World War I. • Some people in the southern states still eat armadillo. Also, in many Central and South American areas armadillo meat is part of the average diet. Connoisseurs say they taste like high-quality, fine-grained pork. • Armadillos are not blind but have very poor eyesight. Their ears and noses help them find food and escape from predators. Humans can sometimes quietly watch armadillos without being noticed. • Because of their armor, armadillos are not very flexible. Only one of the twenty species, the three-banded armadillo has the ability to roll itself into a ball to hide from predators. This species has a head shaped like a teardrop that seals the armor when it rolls up. All of the others use speed and their digging abilities to escape from danger. • All armadillos are fast diggers, with their long claws. However, if they can’t dig under something, they will climb over. They have been observed climbing fences and trees! • Armadillos are good swimmers as well. They can hold their breath for about 6 minutes! They typically “dog paddle” and can also walk along the bottom of smaller bodies of water. When crossing larger rivers or lakes, they swim. Since their armor is heavy, they gulp air to fill their intestines and give themselves buoyancy. Pretty clever little critters! This ability is probably one way they managed to migrate north from South America.
ARMADILLOS (cont’d) • Warm-blooded, but with low body fat and thin shells, armadillos can’t maintain their body temperatures as most mammals can. This can turn the normally nocturnal animals into diurnal when the weather is cooler. (Nocturnal – active at night; diurnal – active during the day). • With the twenty different species there are differences in size and appearance. The ones found in the U.S., appear naked under their armor. They actually do have a sparse bit of hair on their undersides. • Pink fairy armadillos are the smallest species; only about 3 inches (8cm) in length. They are mostly furry with very little shell. These interesting creatures look like moles wearing a cape and armored headdress! • The largest armadillo species is called, not surprisingly, the giant armadillo. They can grow up to 5 feet (1.5 m) long and weigh as much as 132 pounds (60 kg)! They have 11-13 movable bands on their main shells and 3-4 on their necks. They have up to 100 teeth which are shed as they age. • All armadillos have teeth that are like pegs and don’t have enamel; hence they are not very hard or strong. Armadillos are from the order of mammals called Edentata (or Xenarthra) which is a descriptive adjective that means “lacking teeth.” They actually may have teeth but many times there are no front teeth and very few or no back teeth. Other mammals from the order that are also found in Central and South America are anteaters and sloths. • An unusual happening with the nine-banded species is that they are the only known mammals that give birth to four identical babies. (Rarely there will be 3 or 5 instead of 4 but they are always identical.) This birth phenomenon is known as “polyembryony.” The identical quadruplets provide medical researchers with valuable models for studying multiple births in humans. • Nine-banded armadillos have another strange ability concerning their young. They can delay birth after fertilization for up to two years. Another peculiarity about young pups is that they will make a weak purring noise when they attempt to nurse a female that is not their mother.

Amazon Prime Savings Will Now Cost More If you’ve been saving money as an Amazon Prime member, you likely received an email that started like this: “We are writing to provide you advance notice that the price of your Prime membership will be increasing. The annual rate will be $99 when your membership renews on ... .” (Renewals before April 17, 2014, will be at the old $79 rate.) If your annual membership doesn’t expire immediately, you have time to consider what you want to do next. Reasons to drop Amazon Prime: ¥ If you hunt around, you’ll find other online sites that will ship for free. (If you combine your orders to reach a $35 minimum, your Amazon shipment can be free.) Look for free shipping deals at FreeShipping.org and ShopRunner.com. Some companies will let you ship to their physical store for free if you pick up your items yourself. At this point, many retailers are out to entice former Prime members with good deals. ¥ If you’re a movie and television fan, look at other options for free streaming of movies and television shows. Check livingonthecheap.com for its comparison of Netflix vs. Hulu vs. Amazon Prime. Reasons to keep Amazon Prime: ¥ This is the first price increase since 2005. ¥ Free two-day shipping on most purchases can be worth the membership cost if you order enough during the year. Whether you order a lightweight four-pack of Cheerios or a hefty treadmill, the postage is still the same: zero. (For the treadmill above, the non-Prime shipping cost would be $49.95.) ¥ Amazon can be handy. If you have physical limitations or live in a place with few stores to shop at, or you’re in a perpetual time crunch, it can be a lifeline to know that merchandise (including food) can be delivered to your door in two days. ¥ If you’re not a big fan of movies or television shows, and don’t really care if they’re the very latest, Amazon has a fairly decent selection of 40,000 shows you can watch for free. ¥ If you like the idea of reading a book for free -- maybe to try out a new author or topic without risk -- you can borrow one every month. Deciding whether to keep (or sign up for) Amazon Prime is going to be a balancing act weighing the cost versus the benefit of what you individually use.

NIA VARDALOS Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on September 24, 1962, Antonia Eugenia Vardalos is most widely known for her starring role in My Big Fat Greek Wedding in 2002. She goes by the shortened version of her first and middle names, Nia. • Vardalos has always had an outgoing personality. She started performing at the Rainbow Stage, a local theater company. Her work there helped her secure a scholarship to Ryerson University in Toronto in 1986. • In 1988, Vardalos joined Toronto’s Second City theater troupe. She moved to Chicago’s famous Second City troupe shortly after. From there she settled in Los Angeles and started landing bit parts on sitcoms, including The Drew Carey Show. She also had a good role on Team Knight Rider. • Vardalos’ biggest success, so far, was when her one-woman play, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, became a hit independent film in 2002. She drew on her eccentric Greek upbringing and stories from her Greek friends, to write the play. When actress Rita Wilson and her husband, Tom Hanks, agreed to back her film it became the surprise hit of the year. With only a $5 million budget, small compared to most hits, the film drew record numbers of viewers by word-of-mouth with hardly any television or billboard advertising. • CBS ran a sitcom to follow the movie in February, 2003, called My Big Greek Life. It featured many from the movie’s cast but only had a brief run. • Vardalos has had other successes in writing and acting, including Connie and Carla and I Hate Valentine’s Day. She starred in My Life in Ruins, and co-wrote Larry Crowne, with Tom Hanks. • Vardalos married Ian Gomez on September 5, 1993. Obvious from her writing about families and her Greek upbringing emphasizing the importance of family, Nia and Ian wanted children. • After struggling with infertility for over ten years, including 13 failed In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedures, Vardalos and Gomez looked into adoption. After noticing a billboard about foster care adoption near her home in Los Angeles that she’d driven by many times, and many frustrations with regular adoption routes, the two decided to check the system out. • Surprisingly, the two welcomed a threeyear-old little girl in 2008, with only 14-hours’ notice! Little Ilaria had been a foster child since birth. According to a People Magazine interview in April, 2013, Vardalos “knew she was meant to be the little girl’s mother,” the first time she saw her. She whispered in little Ilaria’s ear, “I will always take care of you.” • Vardalos is now not only an actress and writer of movies and plays but in April, 2013, her book, Instant Mom, hit bookstores. Vardalos is a proponent of foster care adoptions and feels “a responsibility to use my big fat mouth to talk about this issue!” The book is full of humor and honesty about the difficulties of becoming a parent and parenting once you have a child. She says this is “the book I wished was out there when I was searching for credible information on adoption.” The proceeds from the sale of her book are donated to charity. • This humorous Greek Canadian actress still acts in film and television projects while being a mom and wife. She also stays busy answering questions about her book and the joys of adoption.

BILLBOARDS Outdoor billboard advertising actually began when lithography was invented in 1796. Smart business men and women wanted the public to know about their goods and services. • The earliest use of large format billboards (in excess of 50 square feet or 4.6 square meters) was when Jared Bell printed circus posters in 1835, in New York. • Leasing of billboards began in 1867, the start of an American industry. The Associated Bill Posters’ Association of the U.S. and Canada formed in Chicago in 1891. After several changes, the association has been known as the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) for years. OAAA celebrated its 120th anniversary in 2011. • By 1900, companies wanted to advertise soaps, toothpaste, breakfast cereals and more. At that time, standard billboards were created in America. Many billboards were erected with mass production and placement along streets and highways. • During World War I billboards promoted having troops and supplies ready for conflict. After the war, the large advertisements communicated peace and improving life. • The practice of giving away free advertising space for public service messages started in 1913. Companies owning billboards are still encouraged to fill “open boards” with positive messages helpful for the general health and welfare of the public. • Burma Shave, a shaving cream company, had a very successful road sign campaign that started in the 1920s using sets of six wooden signs about 100 feet (30 m) apart along roadways across the country. Catchy jingles secured the company’s profits and its placement in history. They were on the roads until 1963. • One of the best advertising campaigns in the world started when a small drugstore in South Dakota encouraged motorists to pull over for free ice water! When Ted and Dorothy Hustead bought the store in 1931, naming it Wall Drug, they struggled to get customers to stop as they drove by. Located near the South Dakota Badlands and Mount Rushmore, now there are more than 2.2 million visitors a year! Their small signs, patterned after Burma Shave, encouraged people to stop for water and 5¢ coffee…still available today!

Green Thumb Landscaping Can Pets Take Human Vitamins? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can I give my dog and cat the same herbal supplements and vitamins that I take? It seems that a lot of medicines prescribed by the vet are just petsized doses of human medication. -- Tanya G., via email DEAR TANYA: Some pets can take similar vitamin supplements to humans, but as you noted, the dosages can vary greatly between humans and between different sizes and species. Dogs and cats and other mammals are most likely to be prescribed medicines that humans also take. Lizards, fish and non-mammals are far less likely to take the same things. It’s really, really important to talk to your pets’ veterinarian about giving them vitamins or herbal supplements, in addition to doing your own research on natural pet health. Many vets recommend certain supplements for dogs and cats, usually added to their food or given in pill form. Some advocate homeopathic remedies. All vets will tell you what not to give your pets, and you should take heed. Additionally, your pet’s food may already contain some vitamin supplements. Be aware of what they’re already eating before adding more of the same. What kind of supplements are commonly given to house pets? Some of the more popular ones include vitamin C, which is purported to reduce inflammation; fish oil, which improves skin and hair; and glucosamine (along with chondroitin), which many owners say has reduced the severity of arthritis in their older dogs. Again, do your research and make sure the supplement or vitamin you want to give your dog or cat is safe for them. Make sure they’re getting the right dose for their weight, as well. With vitamins as with everything else, there is too much of a good thing. Send your questions or comments to ask@ pawscorner.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

BILLBOARDS cont’d • Times Square in New York City is known for its large (some say obnoxious!) billboards. The area has been the center of the Theater District of the city since World War I, and has attracted millions of visitors from the world over since that time. Advertisers recognized it as a prime place for billboards early on. Owned originally by the New York Times Newspaper, the paper occupied the building for less than10 years. • The first large electric billboard was installed at Times Square in 1917. The first historical signage occurred in 1928 when the New York Times encircled the building with the first “zipper” headliner. The sign announced Herbert Hoover’s victory as President of the United States. • The Times building is not occupied by tenants anymore. When the current owners looked at renovating, it was decided that the building would just be used as a sign tower. Over 90% of the building is covered in advertisements. • One of the most noteworthy signs now gracing Times Square is an eco-sign project for Ricoh, a Japanese company. The sign uses wind, solar and batteries for operation. The first sign of this type was installed by Ricoh in Osaka, Japan in 2003.
