"There's a life rhythm within Cable," David Yurman says about the unifying element that runs through everything he creates. "Any place we use it, it's about bringing a certain life to the form." It started with the celebrated bracelet, and found its way into earrings, necklaces, and more. Sometimes, you'll find Cable in surprising places—the inside of a ring, the back of a pendant—where only you can see it.
Expressive diamond and gemstone pieces make meaningful statements. David Yurman's iconic Cable motif beautifully adorns universal symbols and shapes, such as the heart, peace sign, and cross.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has agreed to be grilled by union lawyers about his decision to let Detroit file for bankruptcy protection, state attorneys said Tuesday.Attorneys for Snyder and other state officials had been resisting a deposition, based on executive privilege, but told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes during a court hearing tht they had changed course.Unions opposed to the bankruptcy said Snyder's sworn testimony is important as they argue that Detroit isn't eligible for Chapter 9, a bankruptcy process that could let the city shed billions in long-term debt. Rhodes has scheduled an eligibility trial for Oct. 23.Snyder's closed-door deposition will be limited to three hours. No date was immediately set."We want to understand the motivations for filing and the timing of the filing," said Sharon Levine, attorney for the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, which represents workers at Detroit City Hall.Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr took the city into bankruptcy on July 18 with the governor's required blessing. Long-term debt totals $18 billion or more in a city that has lost at least 25 percent of its population since 2000.Rhodes criticized the attorney general's office for shifting the reasons to avoid a deposition late last week."The city is struggling under incomprehensible financial burden," the judge said. "In an attempt to create a viable, if not thriving future for itself, it needs to do that with all deliberate speed."

(RNN) - Whether you are a woman who wants to propose to a longtime boyfriend or a man who wants to make Valentine's Day extra memorable by popping the question, Cupid always seems to aim his arrow at holiday engagements.
Men, it's not too late to prepare for a Valentine's Day proposal, especially if you have noticed how much your girlfriend has been talking about her best friend's new diamond rock that she received on New Year's.
There is still time to visit your local jeweler if your heart desires to make that final step towards commitment, but pay attention to what makes your significant other swoon.
Once you have the ring you feel will best suit your girlfriend or boyfriend, you'll need some romantic ideas bold enough to knock socks and hair clips off.
And nothing says "I want to shower you with the best gifts," like personalized "I love you" notes left throughout the house, nearby park or favorite hideaway. Spray the notes with your love's favorite cologne or perfume. You want your scent to linger under their nose, as you lead them on a treasure hunt.
Once they reach you, not knowing what to expect, get on one knee and then hand them a box with nothing in it; you must wait for their puzzled expression.
After the joke settles in, tell your honey to walk to an area where you hid another gift, and when they open it, they find perhaps earrings, a necklace or a watch to go along with the surprise. Just when your partner is about to give up on any chance of a proposal, pull out the real treasure and say those four magical words, "Will you marry me?"
If your girlfriend or boyfriend loves animals, surprise them with a cute puppy or kitten and attach a note to its collar that asks if there's enough room for you in their life forever along with their new pet that you named Marry Me.
You can make a bracelet filled with charms that remind you of the special moments you've shared. One of the charms could be a locket that opens to say, "Marry Me."
Another sweet proposal could begin with roses, a lot of roses, everywhere, in the bathtub, on the bed, in your sweetie's slippers, in the car. You can make the moment special with rose-colored silk lingerie and rose-scented massage oil, according to theknot.com.
Once you've decided how you want to propose, you may want to find a secluded location. Use that passport you've been keeping tucked away, or finally take that week vacation you've needed to take, by planning a trip to Paris, Egypt or the Virgin Islands.
Then surprise your loved one on the trip of their life. Why not take your relationship higher by booking a flight? Literally, the sky is the limit with 2014 Valentine's Day engagement ideas.

Calissons de Provence: Rich, Smooth Melon-Flavored Marzipan Directly from France
For over 6 centuries, in the south of France, bakers in the town of Aix-en-Provence have been creating a marzipan-like candy called calissons.

Once set, the moist, slightly fruity marzipan receives a thin layer of white royal icing. 12 marzipan candies per 5 oz. box.
- A French tradition for 600 years
- Made with ground almonds and candied melon
- Topped with perfectly sweet glaze
- Traditional diamond shape
Slightly fruity, slightly nutty—these French marzipan candies are "magnifique!"

Bullying can happen to anyone at any age. Being bullied at school, home or online might involve someone pushing you, hitting you, teasing you, talking about you or calling you names. Nobody has the right to hurt you or make you feel bad. If you are being bullied you don't have to deal with it alone - talking to someone about it can often really help.
If you or a friend are being bullied, it can sometimes feel like nothing can make it stop, especially if it has been happening for a long time.
Bullying can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, lonely, worthless and scared - but it doesn't have to be like this. We are a free, confidential support service who speak to thousands of young people every day - you are not alone. Talk to us - we can help you with whatever you're going through.
"I was a victim of bullying back in school. My advice is to always tell someone straight away and ask for help. Keeping it to yourself will only be more damaging in the long run." Liam Payne, One Direction
Bullying can mean many different things and young people have described bullying as:
These things can happen at school or at home, but they can also happen online or on social networks.
Bullying can also be part of other forms of abuse, including neglect, emotional, physical and sexual abuse.
Different ways you can receive help through ChildLine:
Building your self-esteem Being bullied can knock anybody's confidence. A single insult can stay with you for a long time - to the point where you start believing that what the bullies say about you is true - even though it isn't. Nobody deserves to be bullied and it isn't your fault that you are the target - it can happen to anybody. Find out how you can build your confidence and self-esteem
You are not alone Sadly, lots of young people have experienced bullying from name-calling on social networks to physical threats. Get support from other young people who are in the same situation as you on the bullying message board.
ChildLine is a private and confidential place for you to talk. This means that whatever you say, stays between you and ChildLine. You don't even need to give us your real name if you don't want to.
We would only say something if:- you ask us to - you or a friend's life is in immediate danger - you are being hurt by someone in a position of trust such as a teacher or police officer
Tell a friend Your mates can support you, even if you're not ready to talk about it in detail. They can support you when you tell an adult you trust.
Tell a parent or guardian They should be there for you, even if you're not ready to take it to your teachers.
Tell a teacherThe teachers in your school have a duty to look after you. Ask about the anti-bullying policy at your school.
Contact ChildLineYou can contact ChildLine for free on 0800 1111, anytime. Our friendly counsellors are here to listen and support you and can help you to stop the bullying in your particular situation. Find out more about contacting ChildLine
Find a way to stay safe at schoolNo-one should be too scared to go into school. You have a right to be there. Try to stay away from anyone who is involved in bullying and stay in a group of friends when you don't feel safe.
Walk home with someone or get a liftIf bullying happens on the way home it might seem really hard to get away from the bullies. Walking with someone, changing your route or getting a lift can help.
Ask your mates to look out for youYour friends can be there for you, even if you don't want to talk about the details to them. They can support you to tell someone who could help make it stop.
Don't fight backYou could get in trouble or get hurt if you fight back against people involved in bullying. There's no shame in not fighting back.
Don't reply to an abusive messageReplying to an abusive message could make the bullying worse and might end up upsetting you more.
Block the bully from contacting youSome phones will let you block numbers. You can also block, delete or unfriend other users on many social networking sites. Stopping them from contacting you could help you feel less stressed and upset.
Don't go along with what they wantGoing along with what they want will give them the message that bullying is working.
Find out about your school's anti-bullying policyIt's good to know what your school has promised to do if bullying happens. There might be something in the policy that could help you.
Keep a record of the bullyingSaving texts, emails and messages or writing down when someone has bullied you in person can be a useful way to keep track of what has happened and will help when you are ready to report the bullying.
People can be bullied for all sorts of reasons or for no particular reason at all. Sometimes people who bully others pick up on a small thing that makes someone stand out and they use it to hurt them. This might be the way someone looks, the things they like doing or even what kinds of clothes they wear.
Everyone is different, and it's these differences that make people who they are. If you are being bullied in person or online, then you might think that it's your fault - but it isn't.
Be there for your friendSometimes your friend might not want to talk, but being there to listen whenever they are ready is important.
Help take their mind off itHanging out, going for a walk, watching a film or playing games together are good ways to take someone's mind off their problems for a little while.
Support your friend to help them speak out about bullyingIt can be very daunting to open up to an adult about your problems. Going with a friend if they're feeling nervous is a great way to support them.
Help your friend stay safe at schoolStaying in a group is a good way to help stop bullying during break times.
Walk home with your friend or sit with them on the busIt can be hard to get away from people involved in bullying when you are on the way to or from school. Walking with a friend and sitting in a group on the bus could help stop the bullying.
Speak to ChildLine about what is happeningYou can talk to ChildLine, whatever your worry – even if you are worried about something that's happening to someone else.
Tell your friend about ChildLineMake sure your friend knows that they can contact ChildLine any time, day or night, online or by phone. It's free and confidential, meaning nobody else needs to know.
Find out about your school's anti-bullying policyIt's good to know what your school has promised to do in the event of bullying. There might be something in the policy that could help your friend.
Anyone could end up getting involved with bullying. Some people may not realise that what they are doing is bullying and might think they are just teasing, but some people deliberately set out to bully someone and make them unhappy.You might be bullied by other young people who live near you, or who do activities outside of school with you, like sports or music. You can be bullied by people you have never met through your mobile phone or on the internet.Members of your family can also bully you. If an adult bullies a child or young person, this is called physical or emotional abuse and it's really important tell someone about it.
Admit to yourself that you are involved in bullyingThe first step is admitting that what you are doing is hurting another person. When you know that, you can figure out how to stop.
Say sorry to the people you are bullyingIt takes a great deal of courage to admit what you are doing is wrong, and apologise sincerely.
Think about what is making you bully someoneIs there something happening in your life which is making you upset, frustrated or angry?
Stop yourself from sending an abusive messageSending a message, writing a post, a tweet, an email or a text which is designed to hurt someone else is bullying. Even if you've written the message out, you can delete it.
Stop yourself from sharing or commenting on an abusive post or messageEven a comment like LOL or a smiley face on an abusive post can make the other person feel much worse, like they're being ganged up on.
Find a new way to gain people's respectFind a way to gain people's genuine respect. This could be as simple as deciding to answer more questions in lessons. You could practise your favourite sport and become fitter or work on a talent, like singing, dance or drawing.
Speak to ChildLineYou might worry that nobody will help you if you admit to bullying. We won't judge you or put you down - ChildLine are here to listen to you, no matter what your worry is.
Your teachers have a duty to look after you. If they or any other adult working in the school is being mean to you, this is not fair. You have a right not to be made to feel stupid, be called names or punished unfairly. Talk to another teacher who you trust, perhaps your form teacher, and tell them what is happening.
Nobody has the right to stop you from going to school. Your school has a duty to protect you from bullying and keep you safe. Try taking a quiet moment to talk to someone you trust and tell them about the problem. That could be a teacher or someone else you feel comfortable talking to. They can get in touch with your school and work out a way to help you.
If the bullying is happening on your way to or from school there are things you can do to stop this:
• Plan a different route to school so you don't have to go through the areas where the bullying happens• Keep to well-lit and busy areas so that you don't have to walk alone at any time
• Take a safety alarm with you – they are not expensive and create a loud noise which can attract help and put bullies off• Walk with friends, or older brothers and sisters if possible• If you are being bullied on a bus, sit downstairs rather than on the top deck and tell the driver about what is happening. If it's a school bus then you can talk to your teacher – they are responsible for you while on a school bus and can make the bullying stop• Keep a diary of what is happening with dates and times.
If the people bullying you go to the same school as you, it is a good idea to let the school know what is happening, no matter where or when it is they are bullying you. They may not be able to take action about incidents that happen in the evenings or at weekends, but they can make sure it doesn't happen in school. If the bullies are being violent towards you, it could be helpful to talk to your parents or carers about involving the police who can help you.
If you don't feel that you can talk to your parents or carers, you can call ChildLine on 0800 1111. You don't have to put up with this on your own.
If you are being bullied at home by one of your siblings, you should try to talk to your parents or carers about what is happening. They need to know what is going on so they can help make it stop. If you don't feel like you can talk to a parent or carer, you can always talk to ChildLine.
If you are being bullied by your parents you could try talking to someone who is close to you. Perhaps you have another family member such as aunt or uncle that you could speak to. If you don't have another family member to talk to, you could speak to your teacher and tell them what is happening to you.
If you don't feel that you have anyone you can talk to, you can always call ChildLine on 0800 1111.
Sometimes people experience bullying through the internet, mobile phones, online games, social networks or other kinds of digital technology. There are a number of steps you can take to stop this kind of bullying. Learn the best ways to deal with bullying on lots of different social media sites.

If you are receiving nasty or threatening texts or calls on your mobile, tell an adult like a parent or teacher. They can help you put a stop to this. If it doesn't stop you need to tell the police.
All UK mobile companies are used to dealing with nuisance calls and will have people you can call who can help you deal with this. In the meantime:
• Don't reply to any nasty messages you receive. • Keep the messages that you have been sent so you can show someone. • Don't answer any calls that are from a withheld number, or from a number you don't know. • Change your mobile number and only give your new number out to close friends. • If the problem is serious, tell the police or you can call ChildLine on 0800 1111 and we can help.
Mobile phone operators can't stop a particular number from contacting another phone, but you can do this on some types of phone. Check your phone's user guide to see if yours can. The mobile phone operator can only take action on an account that is being used to bully you (such as blocking it) if the police are involved.
Find out more about being bullied through your mobile.
'Sexting' is when someone sends or is sent sexually explicit pictures or videos on their mobile phone. You might be encouraged to take pictures of yourself naked or film yourself doing things that you may not be happy about and send them to people. There may also be pressure on you to look at explicit messages that people have been sent, and to encourage other people to get involved.
It's important to only do what you feel comfortable with. Remember that once you have sent a picture or video to someone else or put it up online, you have no control about where it will go and who will see it. Before sending anything, take a moment to think how you would feel if it ended up on YouTube or on Facebook. If you wouldn't want anyone else to see it, don't send it.
If you are worried about anything to do with sexting or being bullied anywhere, you can talk to ChildLine on 0800 1111. Get information and advice about sexting
HomophobicBullying someone because they are a different sexual orientation from you. Saying that someone is 'gay' or using words like 'gay' as an insult.
RacistTreating people differently because of their race, the colour of their skin, where they are from or what they believe in and using offensive words that describe race to bully people.
SexistTreating people differently based on whether they are female or male. For example, thinking that boys are better than girls.
DisabilistTreating someone differently if they are disabled, or using offensive language to describe people who are disabled and using this to bully people.
LookistBullying someone because they look different such as if they have ginger hair or wear glasses.
ClassistDeciding that someone is from a particular social class – usually if they are seen as being rich or poor - and bullying them because of this. For example, calling somebody a, 'chav' or, 'snob'.
If you are not picked for the team, this doesn't always mean you are being bullied. This can be upsetting, but the coach or team manager often has to pick the strongest side. Some people may have to miss out – but this usually depends on what age or competition level you're playing at. If you are feeling left out, it may be a good idea to join a team at a different level so you can take part more.
Some sports are really physical. This means if you get knocked around a bit, it might not be bullying – it could just be a normal part of the sport.
However, if people who you play sport with keep saying nasty things or keep making fun of you, this is bullying. It is not okay. If this is happening, it is a good idea to ask an adult for help. If you don't feel like you could talk to an adult involved in the team, you could talk to a family member or a teacher.
Words might not physically hurt you, but they can stay with you for a long time and make you feel bad. Using words and language to bully people is a form of emotional abuse.
If you are being called names, it can make you feel scared, anxious, lonely and sad. In extreme cases, being bullied might make some young people want to withdraw and may cause problems with school and family relationships. It may also lead to young people self-harming or finding other ways to let their feelings out. Find out more about emotional abuse

Madonna Keeps On Insulting Lady Gaga
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Madonna can't seem to let her feud with Lady Gaga go. She performed at the sold-out Staples Center in Los Angeles this week and she once again performed a medley of "Born This Way" and "Express Yourself." A recorded video projected on giant screens and showed Madonna dressed similiarly to Gaga.
Madonna said, "She's not me. I'm going to say this one time. I don't give a sh*t."
Madonna also dedicated, "Human Nature" to Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old shot by the Taliban in Pakistan this week.
Madonna will appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on October 29.

Need a quick fix? Call a Virgo. Those born under this Sign simply love to analyze and bat things around and are bound to come up with some answers. The mental, smart Virgo is a talker and a helper and likes to facilitate solutions as a service to others. Even so, Virgos crave independence and a space of their own, so don't expect all their cards to be laid on the table -- some things are best kept private.
Members of this Earth Sign are forever realistic and will set practical, achievable goals for themselves and the others on their team. Virgos are task-oriented and highly organized, a very loyal colleague and often the conscience of their group. They will get things done but are often reluctant to take the credit! The Virgo's perfectionism can often lead to nervousness and ill health, so a bit of balance, the yin with the yang, is a lesson well learned.
If there's one thing a Virgo can do (and they can usually do plenty, thanks to their strong work ethic), it's create a winning team. Their discerning eye and discriminating style is hard to beat. Virgos find it easy, and a pleasure, to be the thinker, problem-solver, organizer and supporter of the team. It's important for them, though, to take care of themselves as well! All work and no play can make anyone a dull boy. When Virgos remember to criticize less and emphasize (the positives) more, a lot can be accomplished.
The Virgo office is (what else?) highly organized, with a slew of computers and other electronic gadgetry for maximum efficiency. Slobs should definitely hang out elsewhere. When a car is required, a midnight blue Mercedes that purrs like a kitten is both elegant and reliable. If it's time to talk business, take the Virgo out for a light salad in a squeaky-clean restaurant, and you're bound to get results.
Virgos are well suited as chemists, doctors, investigators, nutritionists, managers and entrepreneurs -- veterinarians, too, the better to help a pup in need.

"Being able to bump the machine without tilting it," said Andy Rosa. "I think that's my best asset when I play."
For most people, pinball is just a game, but for this Flint native and electronic engineer, it's a passion he dedicates a lot of his time to.
"Easily an hour and a half to two hours per day."
Rosa has spent the past ten years honing his skills in weekly tournaments throughout Michigan and surrounding states, but next week he's headed to Seattle, Washington to compete in the World Pinball Championship.
"We're already all pre-qualified. They choose the top 64 players," Rosa explained. "We have two days of qualifying on a Friday and Saturday, and then the top 32 of the 64 make the cut to go head to head on Sunday."
This marks the second time that Rosa has made it to the World Pinball Championship, and after finishing second overall in 2010, he likes his chances even more this time around.
"I've been working on playing the older games because that's what actually made me lose the last tournament on these darn older machines. So, I've been practicing on the electromechanical, the older machines of the sixties and seventies."
Rosa, who routinely flips machines and has been known to spend an entire hour playing with the same ball, says at the end of the day it's still just a game.
"It is fun and when you put in your head that you're just doing this for the fun of it overall, it kind of takes a little bit of that nervousness away."

Dogs With No Bark
Why people pursue the controversial surgery
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Anonymous | February 3 2010 | Permalink
this is a sticky situation for sure..one I'm currently debating over and over. I own a territorial terrier who despite the amounts of physical and mental stimulation he gets during the week (daily runs, dog walker, agility training) he loves to bark. Barks at noises in the hallway, barks at people coming to the door, barks at a random leaf blowing in the wind.
He is a watch dog - I do like the protective aspect - it's why I chose him..but..in a downtown apartment - my neighbours aren't always as appreciative.
I've gone through de-sensitization, training, and while it has helped a bit..he simply loves the act of barking.
I don't know what my ultimate decision will be...I've gathered lots of information from people with this same breed who have done this and those that are for/against...as you say - I will not surrender him to a shelter over it - but also cannot afford to be evicted over it either.

I find this very disturbing. I admit that I had my cats declawed when they were kittens. I did it because I was a new cat owner, having dogs my whole life, and relied on the advice of others. My vet also stayed neutral and didn't discourage it. I regret this now. I wish I hadn't done it. I think it's amazing how we can justify things in our heads sometimes. For example, maybe someone's excuse for doing this is that they live in an apartment building and they'll get thrown out if the dogs are noisy. We need to stop making decisions for our pets that result in cruel procedures like these and respect them as they are.

any vet who performs this surgery should have his license permenantly revoked. this is ridiculous
Submitted by Debark? YES!!! | February 4 2010 | Permalink
Seriously? Loose their license? They are doing NO HARM. These vets are saving dogs from screamed at, being shocked, beaten, hosed down- they save lives! I am a strong proponante of debarking. We now live with dogs in close proximity to others. We live in a society that is not tolerant of barking dogs. We must respect eachother.
Debarking is a quick surgery with results that allow a dog to bark bark bark and bark. AND, they do bark right after surgery! No too painful. The end result? The dog is not abused!
Case in point: I adopted a Pyrenees Mountain Dog (great Pyreneese) from Pyreneese rescue sight unseen, as I needed a guardian dog on 117 acre ranch. She was spayed and de-barked when I got her. She is BRED to BARK as are may other breeds. She can bark all night long now that we have moved closer to town. No neighbors have threatened to poison her or shoot her(yes that happens to barking dogs. She is a very happy girl with an important job- protecting our house from percieved threats.
Humor me here . . .you are a dog hard wired to bark bark bark. You can stay in your crate alone for 12 hours a day with your shock collar inside OR you can have a dog door and go out and bark at the cats, birds, squirrels anything threating your yard -have a real job? Yes your voice sounds raspy and it is not very loud but you can BARK!! You were born to bark!

I agree! We have a 6 year old Great Pyr who we have had since birth. Although, he is not a huge barker he still barks enough to annoy our neighbors. As long as we are home, he is quiet but it seems as soon as we leave, he knows he can go to town. We keep him inside when gone for shorter periods but sometimes this isn't reasonable. He loves to bark at the birds who have found great joy in tormenting our dog. We have gone to court because of a neighbor who I swear waits for us to leave and then calls animal control. We have tried the spray collar, noise blocker, and two different bark collars. He will bark right over being shocked. This leaves horrible marks on his neck. We are great dog owners who love our boy. We are responsible and never allow our dog to bark but sometimes we just cannot be home to monitor him. Without moving away from our crazy neighbor we are facing giving up our baby or having him debarked. I think you all know what we are choosing and plan on having the procedure done as soon as our vet comes back into town. Because we love our dog, we are choosing this!

What I don't like about this article is it says: debark, or give up to a shelter? What about training? And training and training and training? I don't think a dog should potentially get euthanized because he barks, but I also don't think debarking should be made to sound like it's the only alternative when more exercize and training could potentially solve the problem.
Also, it sounds like vets aren't even being trained to do this anymore- sure a vet might say she can do it, but has she been trained to?

I had the same situation as comment #1. My neighbors were not always happy with us despite all our hard work at training and stimulation. We decided to rent a house instead so it wouldn't be such close quarters. We now have another dog too whose not quite as barky but it's not a huge problem now anyways since you hear dogs barking in the neighborhood all the time- and we're not sharing walls with anyone.
I have a German Shepherd. Notorious for being vocal. My dog barks AT me every day, for a whole variety of reasons. And, he is loud. It does get on my nerves, and can be super annoying. He's going on 9 years old and I've been putting up with it for a long time. It's *who he is*. I can do training, I can get him to stop, for a few seconds at a time ha ha...but in NO WAY would I EVER put him under the knife to mutilate him for this behavior !!!! Granted it's not something he does that's annoying to neighbors, he's not as much of a random barker like that. If there's a noise, it's a normal outburst. Still, there are ways to modify behavior. Everyone looks for the quick fix, and it's not always the best option.

There was just an article by a contributor to this magazine (VS) in another well known publication about debarking. Simply put it's very stressful for the dog because they lose their ability to communicate. She's against it of course. I have a 100 pound Akita-Shepherd mix who has a bark that can be heard throughout our neighborhood. But with patience and training we don't have a barking problem and I have a fantasic companion who alerts me only when someone comes right up to my front door.

I visited a Collie breeder several years ago, and a beautiful 6 month old male greeted me at the door. He was a bit wobbly from anesthesia as he had just been debarked. As someone who has many years of veterinary experience, I know how the surgery is performed and it is not one I would ever recommend as a routine procedure. The breeder's response was that she lived in the city (she did have a nice sized, fenced yard) and she had 5 adult dogs (only three are allowed), so she had all her dogs debarked to avoid problems with the neighbors/animal control officials. I was quite shocked to learn that many show dogs are debarked; it's kind of a dirty little secret. On the other side(and there is always another side), we recently adopted a young puppy who, I believe, came out of the womb barking. He honestly never stops and after a month of living with him, I can see that a lifetime of this would be very frustrating. Fortunately, he IS learning to control his boisterous nature somewhat, and I can see slow progress being made, so I am hopeful. And as we live in a more country like setting, we do not have neighbors to worry about. Would I consider surgery for him? Not until I had exhausted every other alternative. But if placed in a situation where my choices were surgical intervention or re-homing my dog, I know what I'd choose.
While I understand when given the option of debarking or a trip to the AC, debarking seems the kinder way to go. But, let's understand that there is another alternative. Don't choose a barky dog in the first place. Shelties are wonderful dogs, easily trained, and very pretty. How can one buy a sheltie, and another sheltie, and not know that they bark? It isn't a surprise, yet shelties are the breed most often debarked. It's not a leap to figure out that you can find a really nice, very trainable puppy or dog that is not a barker. Min Pins bark. If you don't like the constant high pitched yap of a tiny dog but you want a very small companion, get a papillon or a Boston terrier. If you don't like the overbarking ritual of the sheltie, get a different dog of similar temperament. Yes, you can train the dog sufficiently to reduce the barking (oops, that would take a little time and some commitment), but a barky dog is not going to become a nonbarker.

Get a papillon? Are you kidding me? I have 4 papillons, they are very much barking dogs. One of them kills my ears with her high pitch but I'm not complaining about that. I ran across this site trying to figure out why my newly rescued papillon (the fourth one) has no bark. I had no idea about this surgery until right now. I don't know this dogs history, as her foster caregiver doesn't have any to share aside from the fact she was rescued from a puppy mill, but I can assume by now that it is very likely she is so broken she may never trust any human being for the rest of her life. So this sickens me to think that on top of the abuse she obviously endured (I'm told the original vet estimated her age at 5 but she seems older), the fact that she "may" have been debarked to possibly quite her anguish. I'm not even sure I should take her to my vet yet, as I wanted her to adjust to her new life before making that scary trip. Dogs bark, period. For those who cannot handle it, simply shouldn't own a dog.

I have worked in the vet business for years. My mother owns 3 very territorial doxies and I have a very boisterous coonhound. Under absolutely NO cercumstances would I consider such a ridiculous and unnecessary proceedure such as debarking. There are SO many other options out there, they just require some time to work. My mother has had great success with teaching "quiet" and my baying coonhound has finally learned when are appropriate times to communicate. All without that invasive surgery. Any GOOD vet would not encourage this surgery and does not ecourage this surgery because there are many many more humane options available. If you dont want a barking dog or you arent prepared to put the time in to train them appropriately, then dont get a dog, you obviously arent ready for one. Get a cat, at least they are quiet.

I just rescued a dog and found out tonight that he has been debarked. I am so angry and disgusted at the fact! ITS NO WONDER he has such trust issues! Poor baby is scared of everything. he was used for breeding all his life, kept outside, been debarked, and LORD KNOWS what else!
If you cant take care of your pet, you dont need one. People like that SICKEN me!
to the people who think its ok: I wish you could have your vocal cord ripped out, have your tailbone docked, and your ears clipped. oh and hey, It would be cool to keep you outside and use you just to make babies. doesnt sound so 'ok' now, does it?

You do not fully understand "why" some dogs may have a "voice reduction" surgery. It could be that the breeder kept several dogs and did not want to annoy their neighbors. Oh, by the way....without "breeders" there would be no puppies or patients for the Vet's. I have seen the procedure performed and the dog wakes up in a matter of 3 min. and goes on with his day. The dog lives a better life, due to not being yelled at all day for barking. It is one or two snips across the cord, in the back of the throat and it is done ! So do not be so quick to judge and be so opinionated about a subject you have never been involved in. There are very good reasons for a dog being debarked. In CA most all of the dogs are debarked, because you are not allowed to have kennels and this is a way for breeders to do what they love. Most people who take my adult dogs, when they are retired,LOVE the fact they can keep them in an apt. or close living quarters, as there is no barking ! Believe me, LOTS of people love the "voice reduction".
Let me ask you....did you have your baby boy circumcised ? Hmmmm... but no one thinks of that as sickening ? No, because it is for cleanliness and cosmetic reasons ! But it is not much different than what is done to a dog is is ? This is done to prevent annoying barking.
So, before you fly off the handle and point fingers, be aware of the details associated with this procedure. Oh.... and my dogs live better than most children. I have seen some children living in horrible conditions, whereby my dogs are clean, loved, having babies INSIDE my home, in my bedroom. Believe me, my dogs and other breeders dogs are well cared for and it is an amazing amount of work ! Most people would not want to dedicate as much time as it takes to do it right.

Your response did not encourage us to agree with you. It was disgusting. And no, I did not have my boys circumcised. You are right, it's very much the same thing and is horrible and should be against the law too. I believe my rescue dog was also debarked (sweetest little terrier with a docked tail too.) I think it's terrible.

Yet I will bet that all you critics of unnecessary surgery endorse spaying and neutering, a much more dangerous and life-changing procedure. You are hypocrites, on a high horse because you haven't faced a real barking problem. Perhaps you should check out the benefits of leaving a dog unneutered and tell me if you still think that elective surgery is necessary? Can't you just be a responsible owner and make sure your pet is supervised and restrained to avoid unwanted litters?

|Raw Collard and Apple Salad
I'm back from hive hell! Yesterday they got so bad I had to take massive amounts of Benadryl and I ended up a zombie on my couch. Not fun.
I've learned my lesson. NO MORE WHEAT.
Today, I have three more recipes to share. The first is the lovely collard and apple salad you see above. I didn't get many votes on which side to make, so I picked the salad because I figure stove space can be limited preparing a huge Thanksgiving meal!
Raw Collard Salad
4 c finely chopped collard greens
½ c diced celery
2 c diced or shredded carrots
2 c apples, diced ( toss with ½ t apple cider vinegar before adding to salad )
4 T toasted sesame seeds
1 c golden raisins
1 t chunky sea salt ( less if using fine salt )
2 t onion powder
Pinch stevia powder or 3 T agave or honey
¼ t cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
¼ t white pepper
3 T olive oil
2 T Dijon mustard
3 T apple cider vinegar
Toss everything together with your hands. Allow salad to sit for an hour ( or overnight ) before eating. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Our second recipe is for Caramelized Garlic Cheesy Potatoes. I am using my Smoky Pimento Spread to give it a delicious, cheesy flavor. I have tweaked the recipe since the last post and I like it better!
2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks
30 cloves garlic
½ c olive oil
1 c scallions
Salt/pepper to taste
Now onto lentil loaf. The picture you see is before baking. I like to free form the loaf on parchment. It makes it easier to get out on the pan ( plus there are less dished to do! )
Lentil Loaf
4 T Olive Oil
1 large onion
10 cloves garlic
1 t poultry seasoning
1 c celery, diced
1 c carrots, pulsed in a food processor
Pinch salt/pepper
2 c cooked ( and drained ) lentils
2 c cooked brown rice or millet
½ c pecans or sunflower seeds
½ c oats
2 T flax meal
½ c nutritional yeast
2 t Tony's Cajun Spice
2 T Dijon mustard
2 T balsamic vinegar
2 T Soy Sauce
½ c cranberry sauce
¼ c ketchup
2 T Dijon
2 T evoo
I hope that these recipes come in handy all year long!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Melody,ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes and blog! I am working my way through it. This lentil loaf is absolutely delicious! I love your idea about using beans and grains. I have done this before but never so methodically. Now I have 2 cup portions of a variety of beans in my freezer. Hope you didn't lose any food and that you are feeling better. My husband lost his job a few weeks before Christmas and your ideas really help me. Blessings back to you many fold. Karen
Karen, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the lentil loaf and that you are making use of your freezer! I hope that your husband finds a job soon!ReplyDelete

One of the things I'm most nervous about since finding out we're having twins is feeding them. I believe that breastfeeding is best for my babies. I nursed Mia until she was 10 months old, but once I went back to work it was harder for me to keep up with her so we gave her some formula too.
With twins I'm still planning to attempt breastfeeding them, but I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up. I'm also worried that all I'll be doing is feeding and changing diapers.
The doctors at Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point assure me that milk supply will not be a problem. Your body produces as much milk as the babies need. However, I know from from the breastfeeding class I took with the Lactation Consultant last time and my experience with Mia when pumping you don't produce nearly as much so I plan to start pumping before I go back to work so I can have some supply built up before going back to work.
Breastfeeding is a bonus because it actually takes less time than bottle feeding. The babies will eat at the same pace, but you don't have to worry about washing and sanitizing bottles before or after. And not only does it save time it saves money because you're not buying expensive cans of formula. It is estimated that breastfeeding saves $1,200 per year...multiply that by 2 feeding twins. I'd say it's worth it to at least try breastfeeding.
Breastfeed both babies at the same time is the most common piece of advice twin moms have shared with me. If one is hungry and the other is sleeping wake up the sleeping baby. Otherwise you'll feel like a milk machine. In order to help breastfeed both babies at the same time I bought a My Breastfriend twin nursing pillow pictured above. This thing is huge, but it is supposed to hold two babies so I guess it makes sense. This is a great tool to use if you're bottle feeding two babies too.
It's important to remember that just like with one baby at each feeding you should switch sides. Even though you're feeding two babies at once one may eat more than the other so it's good to flip flop them at each feeding. Keeping track may be tricky, but I'm sure Lora, the Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital Lactation Consultant has some ideas to make that easier.
I'm not sure if I'm ready for this, but I feel a little better about it. I am going to set up a one on one appointment with Lora to get her best advice and I'm going to take the breastfeeding class again. It never hurts to over educate yourself, especially when it's something this important to me.
Twin moms do you have any suggestions on successful breastfeeding?
