I am just a neophyte to dog training and understanding dog behavior having been a trainer less than a year. I am reading as much as I can however and the article by Dr. McConnell was an interesting read.
Dr. McConnell mentions three pairs of dogs that were, in her order, "stubborn", "biddable", and "quickest to learn". Since the article does include the question about whether "fixed" dogs learn better, I would be interested in whether any of the three pair were "Fixed". Leon Whitney (1970) found no measureable difference and neither did Bruce Fogle (1990) almost 20 years later. While both mention behavioral changes, neither indicated a change in "intelligence" or the ability to learn.
If a dog is spayed or neutered, logic would dictate that neither procedure should affect the learning ability of either gender. While I agree hormones can affect the "state" of the mind, particularly animals in a state of sexual excitement, I do not see the connection between hormones and intelligence. Stanley Coren (1994) in his discussion of The Intelligence of Dogs makes no reference to gender specific or spayed or neutered subjects but does compare findings in other species such as rats. I agree that this would be an interesting study to corroberate the anecdotal information. So the gender debate will continue for the time being.

I have 6 Belgian Tervuren, 4 females and 2 males. Of the four females only one is spayed and the same with my two males, one is spayed and the other is intact.
First male dog is trained in obedience starting about 6 months old (note: he was neutered around 12 months old), at 18 months we tried to trial him in Novice A obedience. We failed miserably and had all the exhibitors laughing at this male puppy. Afterwards we had a woman come up to us and she asked us how old he was, her response was that I would have never had the nerve to show my male Terv until he was 3 or 4 years old (I don't recall the exact age she said).
First intact female - she went to puppy classes starting at about 13 weeks old - she had her CD just before her first birthday. The aforementioned dog is two years older than this female. Female went on to get her CDX about a year later.
Had a friend with an intact male Tervuren that she was showing in confirmation and training him in obedience. She tried to show him a couple of times at about 2 years old in Novice A very unsuccessfully as he was more interested in sniffing the girls and breaking his stays. So, after he got his championship, she neutered him and waited about 4-6 months and was able to trial him succussfully.
The sire of my youngest bitch is an OTCH dog with a TDX - they never had a problem. Another friend of mines intact male (at the time) had him entered in breed, obedience (I think Novice B) and there was a visiting bitch at their house there to be bred. He did it all without any distraction away from the house.
My feelings are that females are much eashier to train and show at a young age.

I have had dogs all my life, always a male and female at the same time. Both sexes have been easy to train, however I have found that the males behave better. Even though they went through the exact same training and did well at graduation, the males seem to want to please me more. The females do their own thing and are much more independent. The boys will follow me from room to room, where the girls are happy curled up on their bed. My husband has the same response with our dogs as well.

I have never noticed a difference. Some females have been difficult and some easy and same for males. I had one female that was the most wonderful dog. I had one male who was the worse dog I ever had. Right now I have two Weimaraners. The female is large and fear aggressive and everyone thinks she is a male and she acts like a very aggressive male even with other dogs. The male is small and sweet and gentle. I think of Clio as the male and I keep calling Bingo she. So it is, in my opinion, all a question of individual temperament. Bingo is much easier to train. Clio has finally been trained but it was a much harder road.

I have two dogs both female. My shepherd mix has always been very thoughtful, considerate, introverted and a bit aloof. I have never thought of her as anything other than completely female. She looks feminine and people have never mistaken her for a male dog. My cattle dog is also aloof with strangers but much more interactive with me. I sometimes see her as male. She is very athletic and super active. Part of me thinks this is my own perception at play as I identify more with my shepherd mix and our personalities are similar. I always think of male equaling more outgoing, active and sporty, the opposite of myself. However, I can't help but notice that people constantly mistake my cattle dog for male.

I found the article interesting because for some reason we have always chosen a male. The one strong female dog experience I had was with my Grandfather's mixed dalmation that had quite a few behavior issues. But I'm writing to tell of a 'gender mishap' I had in Germany. I had not lived there long and was still studying the language and when one day I took my 5 month old papillon, Oliver out for a walk...we met another man and his dog. He approached cautiously and asked, "Ist das eine Hundin?" I said, "Ja!" enthusiastically and a minute later his dog was snapping and growling at Oliver...and the man rushed away, looking at me as a loony.... I went back home and went to my dictionary and realized that he asked if my dog was a female (Hundin)...not just a dog (Hund)!! It at least got me learning the language faster...and we ended up making many doggie friends!

I definitely see a difference in males and females, but as to how they learn, it's mostly the individual dog. I raised 5 dogs for a service organization, all male, and temporarily worked with or fostered for short term females, so I've got some experience with both. Males are much more amiable. They tend to be 'softer' than females and really want to please. I've always preferred working with males mainly because, even if they may mature slower and have some dufus moments, in the long run they are totally there to please. My own dog is a male and I compete and train with him in several dog sports, and while we may have to take an "Oh my gosh this is amazing! AHHH" break while he zoomies for a few seconds, in the end he really just wants to be with me, working with me and for me. Females, now, I think can have those qualities. However, most of the females I've worked with have the attitude of "I can take care of myself, thank you. I'll figure out this thing alone". Yes, they definitely mature faster, like us, but females work on their terms much of the time. Females literately have an attitude, like humans! Do I know and have met some amazing females, YES, but if you want a consistant dog that is really whole-heartedly in the game and get a male. I think we all tend to prefer one sex of dog over the other, for whatever reason. I love the male dogs, some really like females. In the end, the sex isn't really the largest fator, it's the individual dogs' personality and the trainer.

As someone who has had many males and females in my home via Italian Greyhound rescue, I feel that females are smarter and therefore a little more challenging then males. We joke "the males are happy to just sit on your lap all night and watch TV..and the girls want to challenge you for the remote to change the channels"! I love the boys because they are more easy going but I definitely think the females are more likely to challenge you and are smarter BUT because of it more difficult to train because of those smarts. The boys are happier to just go along with what we want for the cookie:-).

I'm a first time dog owner and had chosen a male. What I find interesting about this article is that when my Golden Retriever (now 4 year old) had turned 6 months I noticed a difference in his attention span in training classes. I had also noticed (same group who had taken puppy class) that the males were becoming more distracted inside while the females appeared to become even faster at learning. I had asked a few dog trainers if they felt that gender at certain ages needed to be taught slightly differently (like they have found with human children). The answer I had gotten back where it was more breed than sex differences. I just couldn't help noticing that at about 6 months of age the way we were teaching the males was not as effective as it was for the females. But again I'm just a first time dog owner, these were the dog trainers. What I did notice that when it came to outside training (tracking/field/etc), the males were more focused, whereas the females did not have the enthusiasm for the task. What I have noticed that as my dog continued to get older (with his other male/female) friends at about 3 to 3 1/2 years of age I'm not seeing the difference I had. I would love to read any info you find that does show any differences.

I have always insisted on female dogs, but I have friends and family members who similarly insist on male dogs. We have all ended up with well-trained animals, some of whom live on long past their lifetimes in the stories we tell. I suspect the most important factor in "trainability" is how compatible the personalities of the dog and human are.
I have had dogs since I was eleven. My mom had a "female only" policy because she didn't like males leg-lifting and was concerned they would do that in the house. Each family dog we had possessed vastly different personalities, dispositions and trainability. Once on my own, I adopted a male retired racing greyhound. As it goes with greyhound folks, they are indeed like potato chips, you can't just have one. I now have three, two males and one female, and have fostered and rehabilitated numerous greys of both sexes, through the past seven years.
My experience that has been that it all depends on the individual dog. I have one male that loves tricks but in obedience he doesn't perform well. I had a female I did competition obedience with because it was something she LOVED and another female that was so timid it took her years to fully integrate her into the family, now she is my second shadow. My first shadow is my other male who used to have fear aggression, he guards the home and is the biggest "Mama's Boy."
It seems to me that this perceived difference in male and female dogs is humans projections of their own ideas of characteristics that are more male or female. I compare it to girls only given pink girl toys and boys only given trucks, action figures and sports. It seems to me when people shape others behaviours, dogs and humans, the perceived sexual difference is a result of the humans projections onto the dog or human.

On the specific question of the "maleness" or "femaleness" of particular dogs, I offer my experience with my two dogs, Rosie (1995-2006) and Buffy (2002-present).
Both dogs were racing Greyhounds, both retired, both spayed females. But aside from that, very different. Rosie was graceful, demure, polite, elegant, compliant -- all traditionally "female" traits. Buffy, on the other hand, is strong, clumsy, goofy, dominant, outgoing -- traditionally "male." Rosie was like a ballerina, Buffy a linebacker. Both were happy dogs, both learned at about the same rate and depth. (Both also afraid of cats, but that's another topic!) Out on the street, Rosie would typically get behind me when a stranger approached us, whereas Buffy gets between me and the newcomer, and has twice "protected" me from a perceived danger by snarling and barking.
It'll be interesting to see what your readers report back to you about their own dogs. I look forward to more research on this very interesting topic.

I was born with a twin sister in 1946 and started looking at gender issues from a very early age. I have, as an adult, contributed to books on the subject and have written many articles. What most people think about males and females, from how we learn to most assumptions made by gender feminists(not equity feminist) about men is not based on science, history, or psychology.
The caption in the article "How much of our demeanor around dogs is based on our expectations of 'maleness' and 'femaleness'" is a good question for dogs or humans.
My newest dog was almost named Missy, or Princess, - a toy poodle, black with very curly fur. But we named her Roxy [AKA Sgt. Rock] because we want others not to simply see her faility, and assume that when the chips are down she can't cut it. We don't believe in a feminine side or masculine side. Kindness and strength are present and missing in both genders. Consider Mayer's song "Fathers be good to your daughters... boys you can break, see how much they can take" How sexist can you get? I know all babies, dog or human, need tenderness. Toughness too. Roxy may look frail but in her little body is a warrior spirit. She has only been with me for five days and is the sweetest dog I have had, but when turkeys wander into the yard, or deer, she fearlessly stands in front of the window and growls with conviction, just like a tough but spoiled girl should.

Dear Ms. McConnell:
This is an interesting topic, and one in which you drew exactly no conclusions. Of course, it could be that other factors than sex - environmental, human, breed, or experience - have far more input in determining a dog's personality. On the other hand, I'm just not that sure.
I do not consider myself an expert by any stretch of the imagination, however, in my experience, our female dogs have all been smart, protective, and willful. Not disobedient by any means, but I for sure knew they were submitting to my rules only because I was "the boss." If ever I let that slip, they were sure to challenge me for that job. My current dog, a sweet girl "pound hound", was emotionally a wreck when we got her, covered in fleas and ticks, and suffering from massive food allergies. Nine years later, she is much healthier indeed, and definitely makes it know that she is not in favor of the house rules. While she obeys (most of the time), there is no doubt she is annoyed that the cats can go into the kitchen but she is not allowed to. (Those food allergies again...)
All of my male dogs would also break the rules, but not with such willful stubborness. We had a German Shepherd who would refuse to stay in the yard - if he thought one of us needed some protection. Otherwise, he would not think of breaking the rules. This was 35 years ago, and while he would walk well on a leash, he never needed one. He would heel and obey perfectly, and immediately come when called even when chasing a rabbit.
We have had several other dogs (okay 12 to be exact, 7 girls and 5 boys) all of which exhibited, to a greater or lesser degree, this same kind of behavior based upon their sex.
While not rigorous evidence, these kinds of numbers indicate to be that something is going on there. As I said, that something might be environmental, but it also might be a sex based predisposition for behavior.
I would surely love to see a true study done on the subject.

I'm a trainer of all breeds--pedigree and mixed, coddled and rescue--and gender never, ever enters my mind, even with my own dogs. Females can mark their territory as much as males. Males can be as moody as females.
Dogs are individuals, first and foremost.

This was a really interesting article! I too agree that real scientific research should be done on the topic to tease out how much of the differences noted are based on gender vs our subconscious expectations of what the genders *should* act like.
Growing up, my family always preferred females because they were "sweeter" and couldn't lift their legs to mark indoors. When I was finally able to get a dog of my own after graduating college, my family insisted a female would be better. I searched for a female... and ended up coming home with a girl AND her brother (long story!).
So far, they've been double the work but double the love- and I can honestly say there are noticeable differences in their personalities. How much is due to gender, I'm not sure, but many of their differences seem to fall in line with what others have noticed in their experience raising the two sexes.
Just to give you a quick run-down, Oogie Bear is my female and Kip-Kip is my male. Oogie looks 100% female- she is tiny, dainty, and struts around like a princess. She is outgoing (especially towards people), and expects anyone new she encounters to stop what they are doing to pet her and comment on how "cute" she is. She is very smart and picks up on training quickly. She also is very willful and independent, and will "pout" if things are not going her way. She plays with her toys rough, using her whole body to shake them... I like to call her my "little vicious" because she's actually pretty feisty for her whole 2 pounds of fluff! She will also growl at you if you pick her up and she's not feeling like that's what she wants. She comes to you when she FEELS like it... not really when you want her to.
Kip-kip is the resident mama's boy. He is twice Oogie's size, and a total clumsy doof-bucket. He is very "handsome" and definitely looks male. He's much more timid than Oogie- he doesn't demand the attention of new people he meets but doesn't mind being held by them either. He is a little... slower... mentally. It usually takes him about 3 days longer to pick up on tricks that Oogie has down in a day. He is my shadow and follows me everywhere he can, and most of the time he wants nothing more than to be picked up or cuddled in my lap. His body goes limp like a noodle in my arms and he has never once ever growled at me. He's a gentle player- using his paws much of the time and the very front part of his mouth. He is, however, more protective of our apartment in that he will bark when people come to the door. Oogie doesn't really bark much at all unless she wants something.
I train each of them separately multiple times a day, and also together to make sure the commands stick. Oogie is quicker to perform for her treats, but Kip obeys commands as well. They are equally well potty trained, though Kip was slightly harder to break and he does take longer to do his business outside. Kip also suffers more from separation anxiety from me than Oogie does.
A good example of their personalities manifests itself when I am in the shower. Oogie prances over to her bed and chews on a toy while Kip sits outside the shower and stares at me, waiting to lick the water of my feet when I get out.
In terms of their relationship, Oogie is definitely the boss. She is dominant even though she is much smaller. However, when Kip gets fed up of being bossed around, he sits on her and there isn't much she can do about it! It makes her VERY angry. They are a hoot to watch! In terms of which is "better," I don't really think there is a right answer. They both have their good and bad qualities, and each one is endearing in their own unique way.
Anyhoo that was a bit longer post than anticipated~ just wanted to share my experience in raising and training both a boy and a girl at the same time!

This article dances around the question without ever answering any part of it. Is the author afraid to assert a claim or assign a personality trait to either sex because of imagined scorn? While she does point out that there needs to be further research done in the field and we humans tend to put our own conceptions of gender onto our canine friends, she leaves the reader with little else. For someone looking to truly understand the differences between our male and female furry friends, this article is a waste of time.

I definitely agree with you, glad I stopped quarter of the way. I realized it was becoming hopeless to find out some reasoning to why people have difficulty with certain gender dogs. Personality can't be the only reason, I always believe hormones had something to do with it.

I had two dogs in my life, both were GSP ( German short haired pointers )one male another female. I like hunting and camping. My both dogs were excellent bird and snake finder ,Excellent sniffers and hunters ,they were around me near 16 years. I just want to say that If i exclude marking and barking of male dogs and heat cycle of female dogs which last around 3-4 week twice a year i.e. approximately 6 to 8 week an year. Male dogs are more athletic , dependent outgoing in open spaces they are more prone to lost or go miles away. On the other hand, female dogs are few percentage less athletic ( as in every spices ) but more intelligent, resourceful, independent, in open spaces ( when not in heat ) remain nearer to their owner, and most important her way to look when she was sad or disappointed you will feel like she is same as human child. I was more emotionally attached to my female dog. But I miss both my dogs instead of male/female comparison. I personally believe what ever breed or sex your dog has, most important of all is emotional connection you have with your dog. If your pet doesn't loves u,care about you. Then all this male/female dog conversation is worthless.

There is a substantial kick to our wild watermelon honey sticks. It's like having a party in your mouth. These watermelon honey sticks are made by combining honey, natural flavors, natural color and citric acid to help it maintain a fresh flavor. Not quite as intense as a watermelon jolly rancher but in a way that makes it all that much better. (If you wanted it to taste like a jolly rancher you'd eat a jolly rancher. ) With our calculated blend the flavors enhance the honey but don't over whelm it.

I read a report the other day that said more women are hunting today than ever before. The experts say the sport is more mainstream now, and the amount of gear that's available, and marketed, for women is a big reason for the growth.
Another big reason... more families are hunting together. I love the videos this family puts together. I have 2 daughters, one of which, asks to go hunting with me every year, and once she's old enough, she'll be by my side.

I'll add other genres in edits.
Rush...Queen...Jeff Beck...oh, there's sooo many more...
Van Halen
Mr. Big
Led Zep
It's kind of cheating because they all played on so many artists records as backing bands but; The Funk Brothers, Chic, and The Upsetters
Pink Floyd
The Dog`s D`Amour
To name but a few.
Old skool metallica
Poison, the black crowes, enuff znuff, stray cats. Too many to mention
Today I'm in metal mode so...
Morbid Angel - wildly influential though I'm pretending the last album never happened
Napalm Death - they never let me down and get better with age
Immolation - I can go for months on their stuff alone
Give it up for metal! :evil::rock:
I'm younger and not a huge oldies fan so here goes...
1.) 12 Stones - Always been my favorite band and probably always will be. Just love how they sound.
2.) Stevie Ray Vaughan - My favorite guitarist of all time.
3.) idk.......this one's difficult.....I think I would have to say Falling Up, but it's so close between them and several other bands that it could go either way.
I'm gonna have to go with
1) Van Halen
2) The Beatles
3) Led Zeppelin
with Metallica in a close 4th
Hmmm.....this is pretty ridiculous... I can't do it really....if I had to pick only three bands to listen to for the rest of my life...I figure there are enough guitar licks to learn between all three of these to keep me busy for a lifetime...
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Allman Bros. Band
Van Halen
The ABB is a fun cheat given all the amazing guitarists that have played and continue to play with them.
#1 is always Belladona-era Anthrax, and everything else varies based on my mood.
Peter Gabriel
Van Halen
The Eagles
Pain of Salvation
Porcupine Tree
Led Zep
Dream Theater
This list is subject to change :D
AC/DC will always be number one.
Also like EVH, Megadeth, Pink Floyd, way to many.
Blue Oyster Cult
Pink Floyd
Neil Young & Crazy Horse (when he plays with the Horse, he's in a different zone!)
Ah yes, BOC, one of my faves too.
See, narrowing it down to just three is way to hard.
In my college and graduate school days, I was the equivalent of a "dead-head"...only with BOC. I must have seen them 100 times between 1974 and 2009, with the vast majority of those shows in the '70's. My favorite band, and my favorite guitar hero. How ya doin' Buck? Still playing your Steinberger "Cheeseburger" headless speacial??
For rock bands
-Pink Floyd
-Led Zepplin
In any genres
-Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue album/period" band

A urinary tract infection
, or "UTI," is an infection that can occur in your kidneys, in the tubes that take urine from your kidneys to your bladder, or in your bladder.
You have an indwelling catheter
(tube) in your bladder. "Indwelling" means inside your body. This catheter drains urine from your bladder into a bag outside your body.
UTI - catheter associated; Urinary tract infection - catheter associated; Nosocomial UTI; Health care associated UTI; Catheter-associated bacteriuria
Many types of bacteria or fungi can cause a catheter-related UTI. In general, they are more resistant to common antibiotics than bacteria causing other types of UTIs.
Common reasons to have an indwelling catheter are:
During a hospital stay, you may have an indwelling catheter:
Other symptoms that may occur with a UTI:
*Often in an elderly person, mental changes or confusion are the only signs of a possible urinary tract infection
Urine tests will check for infection:
Your doctor may recommend an ultrasound or CT exam of your urinary system.
Because there is a risk that your infection may spread to your kidneys, antibiotics are almost always used to treat a UTI.
Your catheter will need to be changed when you have a UTI.
You will need more fluids to help flush bacteria out of your bladder.
After you have finished your treatment, you will have another urine test to make sure the bacteria are gone.
UTIs related to catheters can be harder to treat than other UTIs. Having many infections over time may lead to kidney damage or kidney stones and bladder stones.
If a UTI is not treated, you may develop kidney damage and more severe infections.
Call your health care provider if you have:
If you have an indwelling catheter, you must do these things to help prevent infection
Your health care provider might advise you to drink more fluids every day. This is not healthy for everyone, so talk with your doctor before you do this.
Your health care provider may prescribe a low-dose antibiotic to take every day to keep bacteria from growing in your catheter.

Imagine this, it's just about six-o'clock on a Friday night and for a lot of people, that means the work week is done. However according to a recent study, they likely went into weekend mode hours before.
One-hit-wonder, Rebecca Black, may have said it best. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend. Now a new British Airways survey supports her theory. It says most workers mentally start their weekends on Friday at 2:39 in the afternoon.
The research shows that the Friday wind-down often consists of using Facebook, online banking, and making weekend plans. Experts say that 'Friday feeling' is probably due to most people working overtime during the week, something one worker we talked to agrees with, "You need leisure as well as work" he said. "I think by the end of a long working week you really need those 2 days of relaxation."
Another man said he finds myself more tired in the morning and towards the afternoon is when he gets more excited for the weekend and looks forward to just getting out of work.
Still, some claim that on Friday afternoons, putting their best foot forward at work is the only thing on their minds.
"I'm in the catering business and I'm always thinking about potential new clients," one business owner said. "What I'm doing for my current clients, and how I can network and gain new clients."

Monday, August 26, 2013 3:52 a.m. by Tom King
The Green Bay Packers had three kickers on the field yesterday. Mike McCarthy was asked why and snorted that "there is a job available and someone needs to jump through the door and take it. That hasn't happened yet".
The newest Packer was free agent Zach Ramirez and his tryout went so well that the team signed him for at least this week. He was 10-11 matching Mason Crosby. Giorgio Tavecchio was 9-11.
Can you remember a season when the Packers had three kickers in camp the final week of the pre-season with really no idea who the guy was going to be? I cant either.
The team also released Graham Harrell after another disappointing performance on Friday night. Will it be Vince Young or BJ Coleman? Who would you rather see on the field if Rodgers goes down?

As we get closer and closer to the day we meet our twins the list of things that need to get done seems to be growing instead of shrinking.
In reality there are only a few things that need to be done in anticipation of the twins and everything else can wait or just won't get done and that's okay.
On the list of must dos:
- We need to install the car seats and get them checked before we can leave the hospital so the sooner the better.
- If you don't know where to get car seats checked ask your doctor
- AAA will check car seats - This is where we took our car seat before and probably will again.
- Some police stations and fire stations do car seat safety checks
- Check the Safekids program there are multiple places that partner with the program safekidswi.org
- We need to make room for and put up the changing table because like it or not these babies are gonna come home pooping. We could change them on the floor, but after having a c-section that's really not the best plan.
- We need to pack the hospital bag. I learned a couple things last time around that I can apply to this task this time. I'll write a different blog on that later this week.
- Bring up swings from basement (this can be done after we bring the babies home, but must be done right away.)
- Set up pack n play for sleeping downstairs first few days home after c-section
On the list of like to dos:
- Clean the garage
- Change the struts and do a transmission flush on the car
- Build a shed
- Fix and sell the truck
- Sell the motorcycle (it's been for sale for months, but no luck selling it)
- Finish building dresser for our room
I think more than anything I'm just feeling like there's so much to do because I know that time is running very short. We could meet these babies anytime in the next 4 weeks. At our last appointment the doctor said they could arrive safely any time now. They were both estimated to be right around 5 pounds. That's the target weight for preemies. There's a chance that if they were born today they'd still need a little assistance breathing, but their stay, though longer than mine would be relatively short.
Over the weekend we had such fun playing with our daughter. Listening to her laugh, watching her learn new things, and even scolding her for throwing a jack in the box at her slightly younger cousin's head, makes me so excited to have two more little girls. I just can't believe it's coming so fast.

The secret to getting you dog to behave
A leading animal behaviorist says a pet parent must display leadership and take responsibility to help a dog lead a happy, safe and productive life.
Dogs always mouth off before they bite
An animal behavioral expert says pet parents need to understand the subtle ways that dogs communicate their frustrations, dislikes and fears and take remedial action before the behavior escalates into biting.
A fun place for dogs where fighting often erupts
The neighborhood dog park - or play area - is the perfect setting for skirmishes to suddenly erupt between normally well-mannered pets, a behavioral expert warns.
Dogs feel no guilt about misbehaving
That "guilty look" your dog displays when you admonish him for misbehaving is not really remorse after all, because dogs are incapable of feeling sorry, a study has found. Your pet's demeanor is merely a reaction from the tone of the language you use.
Hey dummy, your dog's smarter than you think
The average dog can count, understand 165 words, solve complex problems, and a dog's intelligence level is on par with a 2-year-old child, according to Stanley Coren, a psychologist and professor at the University of British Columbia.
Your dog really is clever enough to outsmart you
Juliane Kaminski, a psychology professor at the University of Portsmouth in England, says her study founds that dogs, who have much better nighttime vision than humans, wait to perform their most mischievous deeds - like stealing food - under the cover of darkness.
Help your pet cope with back-to-school stress
Many dogs will spend more time alone as children go back to school and parents go back to work, which can result in boredom, separation anxiety and unusual behavior. A leading dog trainer offers some tips to ease the transition.
Tips to help your pet cope during fireworks season
Anxiety and fear from fireworks will cause pets to hide, chew on household items and even run away, but pet parents can take actions to keep their dogs and cats safe.
This injury risk to dogs just keeps booming
Many dogs suffer from thunderstorm phobia, and pet parents need to take precautions to help their dog cope, a leading animal behaviorist says. This phobia puts many dogs at a much higher risk of serious injury and can even cause a dog to run away from home.
Chocolate, candies mean danger for dogs
Chocolate and other candies are potentially poisonous to dogs, so pet parents need to make sure they keep these delectable delights away from their companions.
Toxic levels of chemical found in dog foods
A study has found that many dog foods contain toxic levels of fluoride and those excessive levels are putting pets at a higher risk of cancer, neurotoxicity and other life-threatening diseases.
oisons and
Grapes, mushrooms, pot are leading pet poisons
A survey has found that the leading causes of plant-related poisonings in pets is grapes/raisins, mushrooms and marijuana. Grapes/raisins are so toxic that even a tiny number can cause acute renal failure in dogs and cats.
Are your pet's items on the high
toxin list?
An environmental research organization says testing has found that many popular dog and cat play items have detectable levels of lead, polyvinyl chloride (PVCs) and flame retardants, putting pets at risk of liver and brain damage, kidney problems and cancer.
Pet poisons bloom everywhere in the springtime
Animal welfare advocates warn that springtime is an especially dangerous season for curious pets who unknowingly nose around in plants that are poisonous if ingested and the fertilizers used to help them grow.
Tips for protecting pets from accidental poisoning
An animal welfare organization says the best way to protect pets from accidental poisoning is to keep human medications, household insecticides and people food out of reach.
Knowing signs of poison could save your dog's life
A behavioral therapist says a dog chance's of recovery and survival after ingesting a poisonous substance may depend on a pet parent who knows how to recognize signs and who takes appropriate measures.
Overlooked household item causes most pet poisonings
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says most poisonings involve prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Pets often snatch pill vials from counters and nightstands or gobble up medications dropped on the floor.
This common activity can injure - even kill - your pet
An estimated 30,000 car accidents occur each year because people travel with unrestrained dogs, according to Bark Buckle Up, an organization that promotes the use of safety belts for pets. And according to a survey by AAA and Kurgo, a maker of pet travel products, only 17 percent of pet parents use any form of pet restraint system when driving with their dog.
Living room item a leading cause of pet injuries
Many pets like to jump on and off the household furniture. But - believe it or not - that seemingly harmless activity is one of the top causes for pets to break bones, and pet parents are urged to take preventive measures.

YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY CLICKING "BUY DIGITAL" FOR THE HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA RENTAL BUNDLE OR "RENT NOW" OR ITS EQUIVALENT ON CRICUT.COM.
The Cricut Image Rental Service (the "Service") offers digital art content to be used with the Cricut Craft Room® design software and a Cricut® machine (collectively, "Digital Content") and other services under certain terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement. The Service allows you to access, design with and cut Digital Content.
In order to be able to access and design with Digital Content from the Service, you will need to use a personal computer with either Windows® or Mac® operating systems, with Cricut Craft Room design software installed and a high-speed internet connection. In order to be able to cut Digital Content from the Service, you will need a Cricut machine that works with the Cricut Craft Room design software (e.g. Cricut Expression®, Cricut Expression 2, or a Cricut Mini® machine) (each such machine, a "Compatible Machine"). The requirements for Compatible Machines may change from time to time and, in some cases, whether a machine is (or remains) a Compatible Machine may depend on software or systems provided or maintained by the machine or components manufacturer or other third parties. As a result, devices that are Compatible Machines at one time may cease to be Compatible Machines in the future.
a. General. The Service may allow you to: (i) rent Digital Content for access over a limited period of time ("Rental Digital Content"), (ii) purchase Digital Content for access over an indefinite period of time ("Purchased Digital Content"), and (iii) access Digital Content on a free or promotional basis for viewing over a limited period of time ("Free Digital Content").

To simplify your use and management of Digital Content that has a limited Usage Period (such as Rental Digital Content), we may automatically remove that Digital Content from your Cricut Craft Room account, Cricut Gypsy device, or Compatible Machine after the end of its Usage Period, and you consent to such automatic removal.
d. Downloading and Risk of Loss. If you plan to download Digital Content that you purchase or rent, we encourage you to do so promptly after your purchase or rental. If you are unable to complete a download, please contact Cricut customer service (at 1-877-727-4288 or email@example.com).

The Software may also provide Provo Craft with information related to the Digital Content you purchase or rent and your use of that Digital Content (such whether and when you accessed or used the Digital Content, which may, among other things, help us measure the Usage Period for Rental Digital Content). Any information we receive is subject to the Cricut.com privacy notice located at http://www.cricut.com/privacy-policy.

Peace, Love and Houndstooth
A real-life modern Southern Belle in my mid-20's. Well, almost. Still early 20's. I love sweet tea and Alabama football. I'm not a team groupie - I can watch and follow it. I follow recruiting, too, and follow our former players in the NFL. I am very polite - until you offend my cooking, my shoes or my NCAA football team. If you offend all three, you're going to have a very bad day.Ask Me Anything

Batman: Arkham City Director Says Game is 'Single-Player Only'Dispelling long-standing rumors, Batman: Arkham City director Sefton Hill has confirmed that the game is a "single-player only" experience. "With the game now coming to the final stages, I can honestly say it would not have been possible to deliver Arkham City the way we wanted to if we'd have added multiplayer," he told IGN.
"So it may not be the fashionable choice, it might not get us an extra tick on the box, but we are convinced, and we hope that gamers will agree when they get to play the finished game, that we have made the right decision," he said.
Rumors of a multiplayer element have been persistent for Arkham City, some claiming that a Robin or Nightwing may be involved, others pointing to the inclusion of on-again, off-again love interest Catwoman. She was brought in as a story element, says Hill, to create an "interesting dilemma" for both characters.
Responding to complaints of the game being over-packed with villains, Hill said, "we are choosing characters who we think have an interesting story to tell and who can challenge Batman in an original and exciting way. So it's true, there are more villains. A lot more villains." Hill promises a few more villain reveals coming soon.
As for what makes Arkham City stand apart from its predecessor, Hill pointed out that most of the feedback on Arkham Asylum was positive, which challenged the team to improve the sequel without a clear message from fans. "So we decided to focus on delivering one main promise: I want to be The Batman in Gotham."

This is so simple I can't stand it. And I'm disappointed I waited until I was in my mid-40's to figure it out; but Sweet Potatoes are indeed the ideal side dish, Bot Yams....but regular, boring old Sweet Potatoes.
And...it's good for you too!! Nutritionally, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of potassium and vitamin C, B6, riboflavin, copper, pantothetic acid and folic acid.
Now, before you go screaming off into the world of the internet vowing never to read anything this idiot posts again....just try this once. If you don't agree, then fine....GO!
BUT....stick around and I think you'll be thrilled with me.
First, all you need is 3 - 4 medium sweet potatoes, Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper and a metal cookie pan. Metal works better for the end result because it heats differently than Pirex.
Peel the Sweet Potatoes and dice into 1/2" cubes. In a large bowl toss the cubes with 1/4 cup of Olive Oil and leave in bowl for about 10 minutes. Toss again and lay them out in a single layer on the cookie sheet. Spray them lightly with a non-stick spray and add Salt and Pepper until lightly coated.
In a pre-heated oven, roast the cubes at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the bottom side of the cubes caramelize. You'll find these little nuggets to be tender, candy-like and gone before you know it - so make more than you think you'll need
Remove and serve with.....well, ANYTHING!!
Some other things you can add to the process if you'd like to experiment:
Garlic Powder or Granulated Garlic
Seasoned Salt
Chili Powder or Cayenne Pepper
Garam Masala
Mustard Powder

SpicesFrontier is where you'll find the best in flavorful organic spices, all natural spices and seasonings and fair trade spices. Frontier's dedication to sustainable sourcing and stringent quality standards means you get the highest quality every time.
Frontier's Natural vs. Organic Herbs and SpicesToday, Frontier offers the option of both natural and certified organic herbs and spices. What's the difference?
Taste That Makes A Difference.Frontier sources their spices from growers committed to quality, sustainability and ethical trade. Frontier strives to build partnerships and better the lives of smaller growers in developing countries with fair pricing programs.
QualityYou can trust Frontier products to be the freshest, purest and most sustainably produced. Simply put, quality effects taste and efficacy. Frontier Natural Products never produces or markets products that make empty claims or contain questionable ingredients. Once herbs and spices arrive at Frontier, every aspect of their handling is done with quality in mind.
Allergen ControlFrontier Natural Products Co-op has implemented very rigorous standards in manufacturing that prevent cross-contamination of allergens. Frontier also strictly adheres to the US Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004.
What this means is that stringent processes are in place during product handling, processing and packaging which prevent allergen contamination in products that normally do not contain the big 8 allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans), sulfites as well as sesame seeds which the Canadian food inspection agency considers an allergen. Every product that contains an individual allergen or allergen(s) as part of a product formulation has the allergen(s) identified on the label.
Frontier takes great pride in the quality of the products they produce, and allergen control is one part of their company's overall stringent food safety program.
HistoryFrontier began as a two-person operation in 1976 in a cabin along the Cedar River in Eastern Iowa. They have grown steadily for over a quarter of a century to become a major supplier in the booming natural products industry. This outstanding performance throughout the years reflects their close harmony with both industry trends and the values of natural products consumers.
Frontier has demonstrated an aptitude for associating itself with trends that fuel success. The business was originally structured as a cooperative that supplied herbs and spices to its members, all of whom were cooperatives engaged in retailing natural foods or cooperative buying clubs. Being a co-op itself helped propel Frontier into national distribution in rapidly expanding natural foods "co-op movement."
Frontier also embraced many of the positive ideals underlying the popularity of co-ops. The early management envisioned a workplace where employees would enjoy their work, families would come first, the quality of products would be unsurpassed, organics would play a key role in the business and social responsibility would be inseparable from their actions. These values have been sustained—and have contributed significantly to Frontier's success—throughout its entire history.
Initially Frontier acted as a wholesaler, repackaging several hundred varieties of herbs and spices into smaller one- and two-pound bags. Customers then resold these products in bulk to their retail customers, typically at a substantial discount to equivalent consumer-packaged products available in traditional supermarkets. In an effort to meet as many customer requests as possible, Frontier expanded its selection to include many uncommon herbs and spices, building both its supplier contacts and its reputation as a comprehensive source of botanical products.
In 1978 Frontier bought and converted a grocery store building in Fairfax, Iowa, into a 5,200 square foot operations facility.
Subsequent growth resulted in Frontier purchasing a ten-acre parcel of Iowa farmland in 1982 near Norway, Iowa, and constructing a 21,000 square foot facility. Plant expansions in 1984, 1988 and 1993 have increased the facility size to over 85,000 square feet. Frontier now owns an additional 50 acres of land adjacent to the main facility, 22 acres of which is maintained as tallgrass prairie.
During 1988 Frontier introduced a line of packaged spices. This was followed in 1991 with the introduction of a line of gourmet, 100% certified organic whole bean coffees. Subsequent introductions included a line of herbal extracts and the first certified organic beer in the United States.
Not all of these product lines were sustained successes, but all provided greater name recognition and expanded opportunities. The Frontier brand packaged-spice line developed into a significant sales contributor and laid important groundwork for the later establishment of the Simply Organic brand. Another Frontier brand, Frontier Coffee, was a part of the company for ten years. In addition to providing consumers with the highest quality organic coffee, Frontier Coffee funded a wide range of social programs in the poor coffee growing communities. Business loans, a power plant to produce electricity, computer equipment for schools, and a bridge were among the projects. In June of 2001, the coffee business was sold to Green Mountain Coffee.
The most sustained and dramatic success with product expansion has been in the area of aromatherapy. Early in its history, Frontier accommodated its customers by buying bulk quantities of essential oils and rebottling them into one-half ounce glass bottles. This line grew steadily as the concept and practice of aromatherapy became increasingly popular. Frontier responded to this accelerating trend, capitalizing on its early success and bolstering its product line with the 1993 acquisition of Aura Cacia, a leading aromatherapy and natural personal care products company. Aura Cacia products include a full line of aromatherapy items such as essential oils, massage and body oils, mineral baths, and lotions. Frontier has grown the line into the clear aromatherapy market leader in natural health outlets nationwide, adding many innovative new products. A popular line of certified organic products, Aura Cacia Organics, has also been created.
The Simply Organic brand, established in 2001, quickly established the kind of leadership in packaged seasonings as Aura Cacia has in aromatherapy. The line of organic products built on a base of certified organic spices and spice blends with creative seasoning mixes for items like sauces, mixes, and chili—quickly followed by best-selling dip and dressing mixes. Fueled by the exceptional popularity of the new products, Simply Organic became the fastest growing brand in natural seasonings and the leading brand of the explosively growing category of organic seasonings.
Beyond the fact that Frontier has listened attentively to its customers and responded wisely to trends and changes in the natural products industry, they have the advantage of sharing some basic values with the people buying its products.
Early decisions to invest in the equipment and personnel to create a top-notch Quality Assurance laboratory moved Frontier into the position of being the quality leader as well as the sales leader in bulk products and aromatherapy. Our carefully cultivated contacts and well-deserved reputation for quality give us a unique advantage in meeting the growing demand for high-quality products.
And their advantage is even greater in regards to organic products. Frontier led the industry in recognizing the value of organic agriculture and promoting organically grown products. The market for organics continues to grow, and Frontier is the established leader in organic selection and quality.
The recently implemented standards of the National Organic Program created no problems for us, as our own internal organic standards already exceeded those required by the program. Our longstanding leadership in promoting organic agriculture around the world provides us with contacts, visibility and respect that are valuable assets.
Frontier was also a trendsetter in employee relations, building a loyal, efficient workforce from the beginning with sincere communication and respect for employees at all levels of the organization. Innovative programs such as subsidized on-site childcare and meal programs, established over two decades ago, led to national recognition for workplace accomplishments at the same time Frontier was cited as one of the country's fastest-growing companies.
The adherence to the company's ideals regarding customer service, product quality, social and environmental responsibility and employee relations are intrinsic elements in Frontier's impressive success over the years.
Quality Matters
Are you buying 100% pure lavender essential oil? Be sure to check the label. Some manufacturers substitue lavandin. Lavandin is a hybrid between two plants: lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and spike (Lavandula latifolia). Lavandin yields more oil and is easier to grow than true lavender, making it cheaper and more widely available. Lavender, lavandin and spike all have their own individual therapeutic and aromatic value and are not interchangeable with each other. The properties of each oil needs to be taken into account whether they be used alone or in combination with one another. The essential difference between the three is that spike has a lot of camphor and lavandin a bit less, while true lavender has no camphor. Lavender is the most gentle, soothing and calming, great for skin care applications and as a relaxing diffusion. Lavandin is a little less calming and more activating/purifying, great to warm muscles and joints during massage or to help open breathing. Spike is highly activating and purifying and is best used in air-cleansing diffusions. Always look for the full Latin botancal name on the bottle and use your nose. Remember, true lavender should have a soft, floral-herbal aroma and no hint of camphor.
You can trust Frontier products to be the freshest, purest and most sustainably produced. Simply put, quality effects taste and efficacy. They never produce or market products that make empty claims or contain questionable ingredients.
