Editor says, what if the scribe and the pharisee had joined the Dance? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s).
On 12th of Tevet, 3761, Zechariah's cousin Yeshua was born in Galilee. He had Elijah's spirit, and turned many to the Lord.An installment from the Miracles thread.Third MiracleBut the truth of their birth stories was withheld from them by their foster parents. Only years later while serving as a Rabbi did Zechariah finally discover that his mother Elizabeth had pleaded with his dumb-struck father to name him John - but to no avail, even though he had lost his voice because he questioned the will of Jehovah. The angel had said "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time" (Luke 1:19-20).But as a result, when he did proclaim the arrival of the Messiah he did so from within the very heart of the Orthodox Jewish community. And took his rightful place amongst the Great Prophets of the Tanakh.

Verdi's Requiem – January 16
Verdi's Requiem is widely considered one of the most magnificent pieces ever composed, and regardless if one is versed in liturgical Latin, it is music that strikes directly to the heart. Not solely a religious work, it is more a statement of what an inspired genius can achieve and how that genius can reach out to his audience.

He had wide ranging interests.as is shown by this list of some of his many activities:
Honorary Member of the Horological Institute of America;
Honorary Member of the Horological Society of New York;
First Fellow of the New Zealand Horological Institute;
Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers;
Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society;
First Chairman of the Wireless Society of London;
Chairman of the Radio Society of Great Britain;
Medallist, the Royal Society of Arts, London, the Institution of Electrical Engineers, London, and the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia.
This was very early days for radio and the signals had to be interpeted with the help of a graphic chart.
In 1923 Hope-Jones suggested to BBC engineers the idea of an automatic clock which would provide five pips as a time signal The idea was taken seriously and after the Astromer Royal (Frank Dyson) added an additional (and according to Hope-Jones, an unneccessary pip) it was adopted and the signal, produced by equipment designed by Hope-Jones, was first broadcast in 1924.
A G Jackson (1863-1935) did something quite unusual when in 1903 he purchased rights to the Synchronome name and patents in Australasia for the sum of £500. It is said that this purchase helped tide Synchronome through a difficult period.
Jackson incorporated his business under the name "Synchronome Electrical Company of Australasia" in 1904 and in the same year installed the first Synchronome electric tower clock in the South Brisbane Town Hall, Queensland. There was an interchange of information and ideas between Jackson and HJ and some letters from Jackson to HJ which have survived give glimpses of their relationship. sadly, no trace of HJ's replies have been found.
NAWCC published a booklet in 1998 under the title of "Synchronome Brisbane 1903-1991" which paints a comprehensive picture of the Jackson family and interesting material on the Web includes an article which appeared in the Horological Journal in 2006 under the title "The Synchronomes at the ends of the world"
This picture shows one of the Australian early movements.
At the time Hope-Jones was still using a pendulum supported from the case backboard with a separate movement and it was Jackson who linked the pendulum support and the movement, an idea possibly later adopted by Hugh-Jones when designing his famous A Frame.
Other features of the Australian movements were that the pendulum was impulsed by a leader and crutch attached to the top support and also that the Australian movements made no provision for an advance/retard mechanism.
In 1895, HJ who was then working with GBB (1875-1942), formed the Synchronome Company, took out their first patent and started production. The Company was initially based in Birkenhead.
HJ spent some thirteen years developing his 'sync switch' as he termed it.
Second page. These two extracts from an early Synchronome catalogue sets out clearly how this switch worked and gives his views on why his system was the best (and in his view, the only, way forward).
In the first few years the clocks were of differing styles and movements and had no serial numbers.
The first clocks had a recoil or a dead beat escapement. Clear pictures of these early clocks are hard to find and by far the best I have came from Norman Heckenburg and shows a 1904 English built electrically rewound spring driven deadbeat escapement used to control the Town Hall clock in South Brisbane, Australia. see 'The Australian connection'.
Norman is Reader in Physics at the University of Queensland and director of the Physics Museum there. He was a member of the NAWCC Chapter 104 team which produced the booklet 'Synchronome Brisbane 1903-1991' in 1998.
The most radical change was in 1905 when the dead beat escapement was superceded by a gravity escapement. British Patent 6066/1905 describes a gravity arm tripped by a countwheel which impulses the pendulum directly once every thirty seconds. The countwheel was pushed around anticlockwise and it was not until later that the usual syatem of pulling the countwheel clockwise was evolved.
I include a blurred picture of an English movements from this early period, but this shows no detail though the gravity arm can be seen.It should be noted that the movement has a rectangular brass base, not the cast iron A frame of later clocks.
The final patent for his Master Clock design was granted in 1908. By that time the partnership with GBB had been dissolved and the company was based in London.
In 1908 the company produced the now famous "A" frame movement and from that time on all genuine Synchronome clocks were given a serial number.
There were some minor variations in the movement of early models, for example early clocks had slightly different arrangements of the latch for the gravity arm and had no buffer to limit the travel of the gravity arm.
Useful date clues:
After 1926 a buffer was fitted to all "A" frame movements.
Up to circa 1930, the A frame was a fairly roughly finished casting and was painted with a black paint, often quite dull, almost matt, in appearance. Later clocks have a better finish to the casting and black crackle finish.
In the spark suppression circuit, wire wound resistors were used up to the 30's and carbon resistors thereafter.(These resistors are hidden behind the "A" frame)
The coil of the electromagnet which resets the gravity arm was wound with green coloured silk insulated wire in early clocks. Later clocks have a winding of enamelled wire finished with a wrapping of a black material. One source suggested that the changeover was circa 1934 but my records show at least some green wound coils up to 1950. No doubt there was a period when coils of both types would have been in stock.
The Mark II movement was introduced around 1962. It strongly resembled the earlier "A" frame movement but had been modified for ease of manufacture with most parts now assembled from stamped brass held together by nuts, bolts and spacers.
A separate series of serial numbers was used for clocks with the new movement.
Shortly after the movement was introduced, around 1965-70, a new broad case was introduced for the Mark II movement in which the movement was offset from the centreline of the case and the glass in the cases was often painted black.
During the 1930s and early 40s the company made castings and parts for the Synchronome "A" frame movement available to enthusiasts.
Clocks built from such kits or parts are often found and are frequently finished to a high standard.
They can be distinguished from a factory built Synchronome because they have no serial number on the NRA plate.
Some clocks built from castings and parts supplied by Synchronome do not have the NRA feature.
A very early model with pronounced pediment and well shaped bracket base
See later for some information about early movements.
Synchronome started to use the Architectural style of pediment (a rooftop appearance) in 1900.
At that time they were producing an early form of movement.
Note the carved detail in the top corners of the door. The door is inset into the case, not overlapping the front as in later clocks and though not visible in the picture the bottom of the case is finished as a well shaped bracket.
In 1908 the countwheel escapement came into production using the typical A shaped backplate. the use of serial numbers commenced from the introduction of this model, probably starting from "1" since the remains of clock serial 15 are known.
At this time both the earlier designs and this new A Frame model were offered in cases of Walnut, Mahogany or Oak.
The walnut and mahogany were of the highest quality and impeccably polished. By the nature of the wood, Oak does not accept such a high polish but the quality was of the highest order.
The finish on the movement was reminiscent of that used for scientific instruments, rather than the usual 'clock' finish.
The architectural style case continued in use until circa 1919.
In 1919 the false pediment is found, that is a flat top with a triangle shape mounted on top of the case so that from the front it resembles the architectural style.
The picture shows one of the earliest of the false pediment models with elaborate mouldings to the projecting top and bottom portions of the case and the door inset into the case.
There may well be slightly later models with simplified mouldings, though I understand that Synchronome did not themselves manufacture the cases (or some of the movements?) so the differing types of false pediment may just be variations introduced by subcontractors.
Clearer view of false pediment
I have been told that the use of a false pediment ceased circa 1922 (serial 954 is known to have a false pediment) and it is possible that the false pediment style is the least common type of case.
From 1922 to 1948 a flat top style was adopted.
The top and bottom of the cases project and are finished with a shaped moulding.
There are several variations with slightly different mouldings and/or different door latches. Some of these variations are shown in the "Basic design changes" section below.
Synchronome bought ex WW1 16 lb shells and supplied these as pendulum bobs for several clocks at this period.
After the war, in about 1948, a case with rounded corners was introduced.
All the cases in my records have either a piano finish black case with chrome fittings
or an oak case and brass fittings. This applies also to the type 4A cases.
This continued in use until the new broadcase for the Mark II movements was developed.
This is a sub-style of type 4, the standard "round corner" model.
I believe it occurs near the end of the series.
As you can see it has a square dial and a bar across the door below the dial.
When the mark II movement was introduced it was at first fitted in this type of case
but within a year or two a new case, the (type 6) Broad case style was introduced.
This is another variant of the type 4 case.
The top of the case extends over the door.
This model was used in Power Stations.
There are also some models having an all metal case, that is, no glass in the door.
These latter were made for The London Underground.
This was a wider case in a plain style with the movement offset from the centre line.
It was introduced circa 1964
Here again there are several minor differences in style. Clocks with no pilot dial are known and the clocks may have plain or black painted glass to the door.
Note: Mark II movements introduced in 1962 were initially fitted in a round corner case (style 4A).
As the Synchronome movement was in use for over 70 years it is not surprising that there were changes, what is perhaps surprising is that there were so few alterations.
The most noticeable change was the introduction of the Mark II movement in 1962, but even this unfortunate abandonment of style for utilitarianism had little effect on the movement itself. It was followed by the introduction of a new broader case circa 1964. Throughout the life of the Synchronome minor changes were made, both in case styling and in the movement, and a few of these are detailed below.
I understand that prior to 1908 some of the very early clocks were built in such a way that the wheel was pushed, rather than pulled by the swing of the pendulum, but that this was quite quickly abandoned in favour of the system as we know it with the wheel pulling a tooth forward by the swing of the pendulum.
Several different methods were used in the early clocks to hold up the gravity arm until the correct moment for its release to deliver an impulse to the pendulum. One of these latch systems had a leather lined V notch which prevented overtravel of the gravity lever when it was restored by the electromagnet.
I have not been able to find any evidence of the dates of these latches.
View pictures of some of these latches.
The final form of the gravity arm latch included an adjustable buffer
fixed to the backplate and this was introduced in 1926.
The highest serial number I have yet heard of with no buffer is 1224
A noticeable change is that from 1930 the "A" frame itself was smoothed off and finished in crackle enamel. Previously the frame had been a fairly roughly finished casting which was painted with a black paint, often quite dull in appearance.
The coil of the electromagnet which resets the gravity arm was wound with green coloured silk insulated wire in early clocks. Later clocks have a winding of enamel insulated wire finished with a wrapping of a black material. The changeover was somewhere between 1934 and 1950. The pictures I have at present show both black and green coils in that period. (Some may be service replacements or rewinds).
In the spark suppression circuit which is beneath the "A" frame, wire wound resistors were used up to the 30's and carbon resistors thereafter.
Pictures of more Synchronome movements are needed to narrow those limits.
Variations in case locks and latches can be noted but further investigation is needed before this helps with dating.
Up to the present, I know of two types of locks and eight types of latch:
1. Single lock This was a single lock with the keyhole in the front of the case, no latches.
The locks are fitted in the sides of the case.Two keyhole escutcheons in the side of the case are all that show externally. No latch.
4. Turn latch with "T" shaped handle, fitted to the front of the case (which has an inset door) The keep of the latch turns into a cast brass catch fitted to the edge of the case side. Two latches fitted to each case, no information about a lock.
5. Another turn latch with "T" shaped handle, fitted to the front of the case.
No information about a lock.
The clamping lever is fitted to the front of the door, with the keep plate on the side of the case. A turnbuckle on the side plate is a further safeguard against accidental opening
This has the clamping lever on the side of the case.
Hook and pin type latch. The "hook" is a swiveling arm fitted to the edge of the door which rotates into a pin fitment on the side of the case. Two such latches and one centrally placed lock are fitted to each case. This type was used for the vast majority of clock cases produced by Synchronome.
This form of fastener was probably only used on a broad case (style 6). It is a latch similar to that used on brief cases etc.. The latch covers all screws when closed and tightens the door against the felt insert usually fitted to the case edges. Two latches are fitted to each case. Lock also normally fitted.
Shown below are four of the many styles used.
I believe these mouldings were left to the discretion of the various subcontractors who supplied the cases.
Many pilot movements show a serial number which differs from the main movement.
Synchronome bought in many of the pilot movements and makers probably applied their own serials.
Around 1920 (1922 according to Rita Shenton in "Collectable clocks"or 1919 from other sources), The Synchronome Company introduced a new model, now often called the "Double A Frame" or AA frame clock which had been patented during the 1914-18 war. It was found that it did not provide any great improvement in accuracy and needed expert technical skill to set up and maintain so it only remained in production for one year and only about 150 clocks were produced.
It is nevertheless a very desirable collectors item and I am honoured to have received a set of photographs for the museum.
These are found in huge numbers as most Synchronomes were used to distribute the time they indicated to many slaves spread round the factory or offices in which they were installed. Only a few samples are shown here.
Wall dials and a rare Mantel or Boardroom clock.
External dials for turrets, churches or Offices.
The program Controller widely used
This controller usually has a built in Duration Reducer limiting the sounding of bells etc. to approximately 10-12 seconds as 30 seconds was often found to be too long. An Automatic Week-end Silencer can also be provided and a mercury tube contact to carry 5 mps at 230-250 volts is a standard fitment.
An Automatic Bell Controller from an earlier catalogue.
An Automatic Time Switch (also from an early catalogue). The function is to control secondary circuits such as the lighting of public bracket clocks etc. at pre-arranged times. The contacts are substantial and intended to handle currents at up to 250 volts.
Firstly, It is ESSENTIAL that the clock case is firmly fixed to a wall and the case must be set absolutely vertical, both front to back and side to side.
Most clock instructions say this but it is usually disregarded on the grounds that "this is only a test"!
The Synchronome was designed to allow the pendulum to swing as freely as possible and the gravity lever if properly set, provides only just sufficient energy to keep it swinging. If the case is not fixed then the heavy pendulum will cause tiny movements of the case and these use energy required to keep the pendulum swinging.
Secondly, the setting of the gathering arm with its jewel is vital. It might seem logical for it to be set so that it fully engages the countwheel while it pulls that wheel forward but it was not designed that way and causes far too much load on the pendulum, which as I have said, was intended to swing as freely as possible.
The gathering arm should be set so that it only engages a tooth of the wheel just barely sufficiently to pull it forward one click. This is mentioned in all the instruction I have seen, but it is not sufficiently emphasised.
www.awco.org/clocks/ Look for the Synchronome section and within that the adjustment notes. This has a copy of the notes by A Mitchell which are widely recommended.
Starting around 1908, when the "A" frame model was introduced, the Synchronome Company marked all production of this type of clock with a serial number (perhaps with one or two early exceptions) and as there was a clock with the number "15" it is assumed that the first number in the series was "1".
It is unfortunate for collectors that they did not date individual clocks, nor is any cross reference list known which would accurately correlate a serial number and the date of manufacture.
In a very few cases there is external evidence of the date of supply, such as an original invoice, so it is possible to interpolate and so obtain an approximate date from a serial number. Information on accurately dated clocks is so rare, however, that the interpolated data can also vary quite a bit and much depends on the assumptions made by the interpolator!
The first clocks produced by the Synchronome Company were of differing styles styles and movements and had no serial numbers.
Serial numbers were introduced cira 1908 when the now famous "A" frame design was introduced, and from that time on (perhaps with one or two early exceptions) all genuine synchronomes were given a serial number.
The serial number was stamped on the Advance /Retard plate (commonly refered to as the NRA plate) which is fitted at the left side of the "A"frame. A few early clocks had the serial on a Synchronome label.
A very few Synchronomes had the number on the armature bridge (Always in cases where no NRA plate is fitted such as when used with a synchroniser).
Numbering is thought to have started from "1" because the remains of of clock serial "15" are known.
During the life of the company, ie up to around 1982, several different series of numbers were used, but two series were predominant.
The first series ran from 1908, when Synchronome started to put serial numbers on their clocks, until about 1962. I do not know the highest number reached, but 6134 is thought to be one of the highest.
When the Mark II movement was introduced in 1962 a new range of serial numbers was started for this movement.
This series probably started from "1" as serial B15 is known.
The highest number I have heard of is 5850.
The first mark II movements were fitted in style 4A cases (round corner cases with bar under dial) as the new broad case (style 6) was not introduced until circa 1964.
This is a separate series which uses the letter 'C ' in addition to a number.The probable dates for such clocks are between 1928 and 1939.
These clocks are believed to have been made for Synchronome by a maker in Coventry, and the Letter"C" may precede the number or be above it.
Occasionally another letter is used with a number. For example, I have a picture of a clock with the NRA plate marked FP 340.
It was manufactured by the Synchronome Company and used a virtually unmodified standard Synchronome clock as the slave clock in the system. It became the standard timepiece for observatories all over the world until superceded, years later, by the precision quartz crystal clock.
A good and fairly simple description of the Shortt-Synchronome can be found in Britten's Watch & Clockmaker's Handbook and Guide 16th edition and rather surprisingly, a more detailed account is given in Eric Bruton's book on the History of Clocks and Watches.

Frequently Asked Questions: Imbalance Trading
Can imbalance trades occur between noncore and core customers?
Yes, imbalances may be traded between noncore customers, balancing agents and core procurement groups.
Can I trade past zero? That is, can I go from 5% overdelivered to 3% underdelivered?
You can trade Cumulative Imbalances past zero, as long as any individual trade moves your imbalance closer to zero and does not move past zero by more than 3%.
Is the 3% of usage automatically calculated when I try to trade past zero?
That validation automatically occurs for Cumulative Imbalance trades. Operating Imbalances can not be traded past zero.
How will I know my usage number for the month?
The usage number will appear on your imbalance statement.
Is how much I can trade into and out of storage tied to the 5% Tolerance Band?
No. You can trade all of your Cumulative Imbalance with storage within the limits of your storage inventory or capacity. The 5% Tolerance Band is used as the basis for determining volumes subject to cashout.
I have a large balance in my storage account. Should I be concerned about reducing or eliminating it?
No, storage balances are not subject to balancing provisions. You may, however, use your storage account as a balance trading tool. PG&E provides you with your storage balance, along with the account names, to make it easier for you to do so.
Does storage have a Tolerance Band?
Storage has nothing to do with imbalances and carries no charges associated with balancing. Storage is a trading tool that may be used to resolve imbalances.
Are there limits to my use of core storage for balancing? Does it affect my rights to withdraw or inject gas later?
Your use of storage for balancing is limited only by the OP Band and by your storage inventory or capacity. Your withdrawal and injection rights are not used in imbalance trading. You will, however, be subject to withdrawal or injection charges.
Is the Web tool the only way to submit imbalance trades, or can I send faxes?
Although it will still be possible to submit trades by fax, you would be at a disadvantage in doing so. PG&E would enter your trade using the same imbalance trading tool available to you, but the timing of that trade would be out of your control.
If I'm a Core Transport Agent, does that mean that I won't have an imbalance for three months?
No, a Core Transport Agent would have a Cumulative Imbalance from the supply month prior to trading and an Operating Imbalance from three months prior to trading.
Is my MDQ affected by imbalance trading?
No, imbalance trading is not considered a transmission service, so your MDQ remains unaffected.

BELLINGHAM – Western Washington University is the highest-ranking public, master's-granting university in the Pacific Northwest, according to the 2013 U.S.
"The collaborative approach to learning at Western – fostered by our caring, talented faculty and staff and embraced by our students – continually improves our campus culture of active minds changing lives," said Western President Bruce Shepard. "Western's well-deserved reputation for providing an excellent education is reaffirmed every year by our graduates, who become leaders in their professions and in communities across our state, region and nation."
Western also is ranked third among top public master's-granting universities in the West, a region stretching from Texas to the Pacific.
And Western was among the top universities in its category in the West as an "A-Plus School for B Students," where students "have a decent shot at being accepted and thriving – where spirit and hard work could make all the difference…" This is in keeping with a strong focus at Western on being a collaborative campus community where students can achieve aspirations while developing interests and talents.
Ashley Hales, 2012 Outstanding Graduate in Special Education, said she transferred to Western because of its collaborative learning approach. "I was in search of establishing closer, more personal relationships with professors and the student community. I found exactly what I was looking for. More face-time with professors, as well as having high expectations placed upon me. I was able to achieve greater academic and personal success at Western," she said.
Hales is now a third grade teacher at Hazelwood Elementary in the Renton School District.
The news magazine's annual rankings are posted on its Web site, http://www.usnews.com. Rankings are based on a variety of criteria including academic reputation, student selectivity and retention, faculty resources, peer assessment and financial resources.

I'm about to head out of my year-end vacation. I'll be hitting up Rio de Janeiro for New Years Eve and then heading on to Uruguay (Montevideo, Punta del Este) and ending in Buenos Aires. I'll be blogging from down south, but you may have to forgive the frequency. It's been a crazy year and I'm really excited to relax and down some caipirinhas.
I'll also be writing detailed trip reports since I'll be flying United's "new" First Class product and American's Flagship suite on the way home.
In summary, this 12 day trip was almost entirely financed with points. I'm not bragging, but moreso showing the value of working hard to accrue points and miles. I would have never been able to afford this trip, especially in the peak season, if I had to pay for it out of pocket.
Summary of the trip:
67,500 One way first class award to Rio on United on their 767 aircraft (new first class)
4 nights at Intercontinental Rio at 20,000 Priority Club points and $60 a night over New Years (when the hotel was retailing at $500+/night)
Tickets from Rio to Montevideo were purchased on Pluna for ~$300 each. Delta announced their partnership with Gol two weeks after I booked tickets, so I would have tried going that route if possible.
1 night at the Four Points Montevideo- was only $120, so I am paying for that room. Didn't make sense to use points
3 nights at the Conrad Punta Del Este. Rooms were over $400/night, so I converted 55,000 AA miles to 110,000 Hilton points for $30 and then used 35,000 points a night.
2 nights at the Park Hyatt Buenos Aires. I booked it before Hyatt's category changes at 15,000 points a night. A steal if you ask me, since the average daily rate is currently $545 for the nights we will be there.
67,500 One way first class award EZE (Buenos Aires)-JFK on American
Escaping cold, snow battered NYC: Priceless.

Washington (CNN) -- Three-quarters of Americans say they favor direct diplomatic negotiations with Iran in an attempt to prevent that country from developing nuclear weapons, according to a new national poll.
Just one in five questioned in a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday morning say they opposed negotiations with Tehran.
President Barack Obama spoke by telephone Friday with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani -- the first direct conversation between leaders in Washington and Tehran since 1979. The call has raised the possibility that a deal can be reached over Iran's nuclear program.
Obama, Netanyahu meeting comes with baggage
Describing the conversation as a starting point, Obama said he believes an agreement is possible regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions that could lead to better relations.
"Large majorities in all major demographic categories favor negotiations with Iran over their nuclear program, including 87% of Democrats and 68% of Republicans. This is nothing new for the U.S. public -- in 2009, virtually the same number of Americans said they favored negotiations with Iran," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
The poll was conducted for CNN by ORC International September 27-29, with 803 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Most people can say that at some point in their lives they've owned a pet. With that in mind I can comfortably say that I haven't had any pets in a long time, but that lately I've been seriously considering getting a dog. As I indicated in last week's post, I personally think that dogs are some of the best pets that people can own; they're loyal and they're always happy to see you. Plus, if you know the basics of dog-care they're not hard to take care of.
With how much crazy stuff dogs seem to regularly eat, it's hard to imagine that some of the most seemingly harmless foods can give a dog so much trouble. I even knew of a friend's dog growing up who ate things that included (but were not limited to) lemons, shoes, and even a cigar!
Specifically concerning a dog's diet, today's infographic from sfist.com shows the reader what types of food dog owners should keep away from their dogs in order to keep them healthy. For instance, it's common knowledge that dogs should stay away from chocolate and other cocoa-derived products, but I had no idea that onions and avocado could be dangerous for dogs, too.
For more info on foods that could be harmful to your dog, refer to the infographic below. [Via]

Pingback: What not to feed your dog [Infographic] | Best Dog Zone – Dogs food, diet and details
I am appalled at the total lack of research on at least two of these items. Dogs in the wild are not vegetarians, they are carnivores. I can't fathom that someone would say feeding a dog RAW meat/bones/fat is unhealthy. COOKED bones splinter, RAW ones do not. The reason dogs choke on bones is because humans have fed them cooked bones. Last I checked, they can't cook the food they eat in the wild.
By no means am I saying a raw food diet is for everyone. However – I have been feeding a raw diet for more than six years to my golden retriever. My vet is not an advocate but he cannot say anything against the health of my dog which he has said far exceeds other goldens of the same age he sees.
Carol North
Love the graphic above – very clear, concise with good information. My website, http://www.feedingfidoandfluffy.com, will agree with you. As for Dj's comment about dog bones, many experts believe now that bones of any sort should not be given to dogs because of the choking hazard. Kind of like raising human babies, the medical community goes in cycles regarding what's good and what's not so good. While dogs in the wild certainly were carnivores, as are domestic dogs today, dogs have always gravitated to grass when they are sick. Providing healthy grains is good for dogs although not necessary, if you can afford a grain-free diet. Veterinary opinions are mixed regarding raw eggs. Some breeders and vets do believe that the occasional raw egg mixed into a dog's diet helps grow a healthy coat, but if you love your dog, why take the chance. Good article!
I encountered something with my dogs, they are highly allergic to corn. It effected their skin to the point where they were losing hair. At first we thought it was a case of demodex, we used a medicine for that, and one of my dogs got really sick. She couldn't handle it. I have the The Merck Veterinary Manual (MVM) 5th edition. Demodex runs in my dogs breed, so we thought that was it, but it was the corn. Dogs come with hair, or fur, the ones with hair, depending on breed, really can't handle corn. We can't buy any dog food with it. We use homeopathic herbs for dogs and cats, and I make tea with them, but I've had these dogs since they were born, and they're healthier than they ordinarily would be. The older two are nearly five with the attitude and activity of a two year old. My cat is nearly nine, and fortunately got hold of some of their water at different occasions. He acts like he's a kitten. They get cooked oatmeal mixed with can puppy food/without corn, and dry sprinkles(dog food) on top. There treats are fruit and vegetables, mostly vegetables. I feed them like show dogs, but they're not. And their teeth are great. I think it definitely depends on the dog, and what they're use to from birth and what they're use to eating, and their breeds. But I know a lot of people just don't know, and they think they (dogs) can eat like them, I'm always checking the boards for new information. So, it's good to get the information out there. Its the information age after all.

Actually dogs are omnivorous. Once dogs started living around humans and domestication began they eat scraps from our farms and villages. Raw meat was given when it was a fresh kill- but after that is was cooked. Making them like us, susceptible to the pathogens in decaying meat. They can eat fresh meat raw, but very fresh! as well they do need other foods, as there scraps consisted of a lot of grain and vegetable/fruit. Because that is what was available to us. The domestic dog is not a true carnivor, because of the domestication process. And some breed (great dane being one for example) require lower amounts of animal protein and if they have too much they can have more health problems. And remember there are exceptions to every rule. I had a german shepherd that could find chocolate in any package and would eat it when ever she could- even climbing and unwrapping gifts to do so. She never had a problem- but if another dog was to consume that amount of chocolate they would be dead. These are gridlines. Alcohol can cause liver damage in humans- but a lot of us still consume it willingly and have no ill effects and live for years longer then someone who never drank!
Maybe a particularly toxic piece of raw meat that's been lying in the sun for hours could make a dog sick, but it would be the very rare exception for the most part. I live in the country and our dogs have the run of our 3 joining farms. They eat scraps (including raw meat) from our cooking, they occasionally get into some roadkill, gut piles left by hunters and/or dead animals they find out and about. No, I don't really WANT them eating dead critters (mostly due to the smell they come home with), but they do it all the time and not one of them has ever gotten sick. I'm in my 40′s, I've lived on farms my whole life, and we've had I don't know how many dogs. We've never had a single one have a single sick day from eating like this.

Interesting, however this infographic seems to be more mainstream thought than researched facts. Many of these so called 'do not feed' ingredients should be more in the category of 'only feed in moderate amounts': garlic, raw eggs, raw meat…
Gator L
I agree. I feed my dog garlic as a natural flee remedy. She has yet to have flees while the neighbors animals all have flees. She is fed garlic in moderation and is fed all natural home made food. Thus controlling the chemicals that are found in manufactured foods. As to what DJ said above, dogs once did eat completely raw meat and fish and bones. With them becoming pets, their systems have changed, but if you keep a steady diet of raw and limit certain foods, they are good to go. I have raised show dogs in the past and all in the group agree.

I'm too surprised to see raw meat listed there but to be honest, I'm not sure the creator of this did their research.
