Can Dogs Eat Pork Bones, Ribs or Meat?

can dogs eat pork

Can dogs eat pork safely, as a treat or part of their regular diet?  Dogs are carnivores, but that doesn’t mean they can digest, eat or enjoy every kind of meat. Essential protein and fat can come from all sorts of animals or pre prepared doggy dinners. Today we’ll look at the different ways to feed pork to dogs, and methods of preparing it. We’ll share top tips for cooked or raw pork meat and bones, as well as common pork products like pork rinds, bacon, skin and even pulled pork. Raw or undercooked pork can continue parasites, and although cooked pork meat is not toxic or poisonous to dogs, the ingredients we prepare it with can be. Some spices and seasonings make pork products palatable, but are a dangerous part of a dog’s diet. Bones and parasites come with their own problems too. We’ll let you know what you can share safely with your canine companion, and what is best kept for your  human friends.

We’ll also be answering some important questions. Such as: can dogs eat pork if it’s raw? And can dogs eat pork safely if it’s home-cooked and plain? Dogs are carnivores, so it’s natural to assume it’s safe and healthy to feed them meat. But raw or undercooked pork can carry a parasite that causes serious illness in dogs. And while dogs can eat cooked, unseasoned, pork in moderation. Too much can be bad for them.

Can Dogs Eat Pork?

Dogs are commonly viewed as carnivores, and therefore owners usually do not question feeding their furry friends meat. However, there are different health benefits and risks associated with feeding your dog different types of meat.

What’s In Pork Meat?

Dogs can eat cooked pork safely in moderate quantities. It provides them with quality protein and B12, both of which are necessary for the maintenance of healthy muscles and a number of other important bodily processes. Pork is made up of, well, pork! More specifically, pork is almost completely made out of protein. In fact, it contains about 81% protein, with the rest being fat.

Dogs And Pork

Dogs do require a lot of quality protein in their diet. And most dog foods contain animal protein. However, chicken and beef tend to be the most common animal protein sources found in commercial dog food. Why is that? Despite all its nutrients, is pork bad for dogs?

Pork is actually safe for dogs in limited quantities. It provides some essential nutrients that dogs need and also has a high protein content. So, dogs can eat cooked, unseasoned pork. However, pork has a higher fat content than chicken or lean beef. And too much fat can cause digestive issues and health problems in dogs. While dogs can eat pork, they are better off eating leaner proteins as the main component of their diet.

Can Dogs Eat Pork and Get Health Benefits?

Pork is a decent source of vitamin C, niacin, phosphorus, and zinc. It is also a very good source of vitamin B12, iron, and selenium. Dogs need a diet with plenty of protein, and protein is something that pork certainly has in spades. However, pork also has a high-fat content, which makes it more difficult for dogs to digest. As a result, too much pork can lead to certain health issues. So pork should not be the main protein source for your dog.

When Is Pork Bad For Dogs?

Pork can come in different forms and preparations and so can pork bones. Not all variations of pork are safe for dogs to eat. Raw and undercooked pork is dangerous to dogs as they can potentially cause trichinosis, a condition that can result when the meat is infested with the larvae of a parasitic worm called Trichinella spiralis. Puppies and older dogs, in particular, are more at risk.

Symptoms And Precautions

Symptoms of this condition include upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated fever, lethargy, muscle inflammation, pain, and stiffness. If your pet has a weakened immune system, due to a previous disease, for example, it could increase the chances of their getting infected. Due to this reason, it is always important to cook the pork well before giving it to your pooch. Cooking the meat kills this parasite and prevents your dog from contracting it.

How Do I Know If My Dog Has Eaten Too Much Pork

As we will establish in this article, in some respects, pork fits in pretty well to a dog’s diet. It matches a dog’s preferred level of carbs and protein. Plus, it also contains a number of nutrients that are very helpful in a dog’s diet. However, with that said, there is a high-fat content in pork. Too much fat in a dog’s diet can cause digestive issues and can also lead to inflammation and pancreatitis.

It’s always best to be attentive to changes in your dog’s behavior or digestion. It may not be directly because of pork, but it’s always recommended to get in touch with your vet if things don’t seem to be running as normal. Pork is best served to your pooch infrequently and in small portions.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Bones Raw?

The stereotypical image of a dog with a bone can be a bit misleading. Not all bones are safe for dogs, so let’s address the questions, “Can dogs have pork bones?” This is a complex question for a number of reasons. On the one hand, natural, unprocessed pork bones are okay for your pooch. However, it isn’t safe to feed your dog raw pork. Plain, cooked pork is safe for dogs, but the bones certainly are not.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Bones Cooked?

It’s tricky answering the question, “Can dogs eat pork bones?” In short, the act of cooking bones dries them out and can cause them to become fragile and break. This can create tiny bone-splinters that can cause damage to your pup’s mouth and digestive tract. They are a choking hazard, in addition to potentially causing obstructions or perforations in your dog’s digestive tract. So, can dogs have pork bones? Absolutely not.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Ribs?

Does your dog look up at you longingly as you savor a plate full of tender, juicy ribs? Have you thought about giving your furry companion a taste and wondered, “Can dogs have pork rib bones?”

Tempting as it is to share your yummy treat, you’ll have to resist the urge. Just like all other pork bones, pork rib bones are dangerous for dogs. They will also splinter and cause damage to your dog’s mouth, throat, or intestines. The answer to the question, “Can dogs eat pork rib bones?” is the exact same as, “Can dogs have pork bones?” ie., no.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Chops?

Pork chops are a favorite treat for a lot of us, but again the question is, “Can dogs eat pork bones?” If the chops are boneless, without added flavoring, it is safe for your dog to eat in small quantities.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Meat When Cooked?

Can dogs have pork if it’s well-cooked? The answer here is yes, but there are some caveats to this. The pork should, again, be given only in moderation. And you should avoid feeding your dog pork with added flavoring and seasoning. We’ll get into some of the specifics shortly.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Meat Raw?

What about raw pork for dogs? As mentioned earlier, uncooked pork can potentially cause trichinosis, which is a dangerous health hazard. The answer to, “Can dogs eat raw pork?” is definitely, “No!” Never feed your dog or any other animal uncooked pork. Contact your veterinarian if your dog happens to get their paws on some raw pork. There are tests that can determine if your dog has trichinosis. Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, fever, lethargy, or muscle inflammation.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Sausage?

While plain pork is okay for your dog to eat, pork sausage, which is usually mixed with salt and seasonings, or pork covered in spices or sauce is not. Many spices are actually toxic for dogs, including onion, garlic, and nutmeg. These can cause a very serious reaction if consumed by your pooch.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Rinds And Bacon?

Bacon has a high sodium content and is quite fatty, so it is not good for your dog. Large amounts of fat can lead to a life-threatening condition called pancreatitis. Salt is also dangerous as it can be toxic to dogs. It can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fluid build-up, and excessive thirst. It can even cause kidney damage, seizures, and possibly death.

Bacon and other salty cured pork products such as pork rind are a no-no for your pooch, no matter how much they look up at you with those pleading, puppy dog eyes.

Can Dogs Eat Pork Skin?

Pork skin really falls under the same category as pork rinds. While not immediately hazardous to your dog in small quantities, it is often fried and with salt added, which is not healthy for your pup. So, as with bacon and pork rinds, you don’t have to worry if your dog gets to a dropped piece before you do. But it’s best not to make it a regular treat.

Can Dogs Eat Pulled Pork?

Pulled pork is a perennial favorite, especially in the summer. But it usually involves barbecue sauce, and barbecue sauce often has seasoning such as onions and garlic. Both of these are not good for your dog. Additionally, there’s usually quite a bit of sugar in barbecue sauce, which can be bad for your pup. For this reason, it is best to opt to only feed your dog unseasoned pork with absolutely no sauce.

If your pooch does consume pork with spices on it, it is important to keep a close eye on them for a reaction. You should contact your vet as soon as possible if you notice any strange behavior in your pet.

My Dog Ate A Pork Bone! What Do I Do?

If you realize that Fido has stolen a bone from your plate, don’t panic. Look for any immediate signs of distress, such as choking. If your dog is in any distress, call your veterinarian right away, explain what happened, and follow instructions.

On the other hand, if your dog doesn’t appear to be any the worse for wear, keep a close eye on him and watch for any developing signs. You may also choose to call your vet anyhow, just to let them know what’s going on and ask for advice.

If your dog shows signs of unusual behavior, even if he doesn’t seem to be in immediate pain, it’s best to take him into the vet and have him examined. If the pork bones make it through the digestive process, it will take about 48 hours for them to pass.

Health Benefits Of Pork For Dogs

Despite some beliefs, dogs are carnivores. This means that they are designed to get almost all of their nutrients and energy from meat. Furthermore, it has been found that the dietary preference of dogs is very similar to wolves. One study found that wolves have a nutrient preference for a diet with a protein-fat-carb ratio of 54:45:1. A different study found that the dietary ratio for dogs was 30:63:7.

As you can see, their preferred diets are quite similar. Both eat very few carbs and instead focus largely on protein and fats. But what does this mean when it comes to giving dogs pork? Well, pork matches this dietary preference pretty well. It mostly contains protein, but also has a decent amount of fat in it. Let’s look at some of the vitamins and minerals pork contains and how they interact with your dog’s diet. This will help us get a more complete picture.

Dogs And Vitamin C

Vitamin C is technically not a requirement in a dog’s diet, as dogs can produce Vitamin C on their own. However, some research has shown that it can provide health benefits to sick or stressed dogs. Dogs who are chronically ill or stressed have exhibited lower than average amounts of vitamin C in their bloodstream. This hints at the possibility that these types of dogs regularly use vitamin C at a higher rate than healthy dogs.

Therefore, they may benefit from an increased amount of Vitamin C in their diet due to their increased use.

Dogs And B12

Pork is also a wonderful source of Vitamin B12. This vitamin improves the function of three types of enzymes. These enzymes would not be able to function properly without Vitamin B12. If these enzymes do not function properly, your dog’s chance of developing hyperhomocysteinemia increases. This is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally high level of an amino acid in the blood called homocysteine. This amino acid plays a part in metabolism.

What Does This Mean For Dogs And Pork?

Simply put, as protein is broken down in the blood system, this amino acid is left behind. Vitamin B12 then transforms this amino acid into a usable form. This process does not occur correctly when a canine does not have enough B12. And this leaves homocysteine floating around in the blood. This abnormal level is associated with cardiovascular disease.

Pork clearly has nutrients that are very beneficial to canine health, however, these nutrients can be found in other foods as well.

How Can I Feed My Dog Pork?

If you want to include pork in your dog’s diet, remember that it should only be in moderation. Your dog really shouldn’t have pork as his main source of protein. However, pork can easily be made into homemade jerky using recipes, which makes a great occasional dog treat.

Always serve your four-legged friend cooked pork. To prevent the risk of choking it is best if you cut the pork up into bite sized pieces. Pork bones for dogs are never safe, so make sure you cut the meat off the bone before giving it to your dog. Seasonings and barbeque sauce can contain ingredients toxic to dogs, so be sure to feed your dog plain pork. Salt is not healthy for dogs either and a high sodium diet can cause many of the same health issues in dogs as it does in people. In fact, it can even be toxic and lead to some serious health problems, like kidney failure.

Does Dog Food Contain Pork?

Pork is generally not a common ingredient in most commercial dog foods. It’s much more common to find chicken, beef, or fish. However, there are a few out there that may contain pork products. And there are also recipes that you can follow to make homemade dog food that includes pork protein.

Can Dogs Eat Pork?

Can dogs eat pork? Yes, pork is perfectly okay for your dog to eat on occasion. And can dogs eat pork bones or pork rib bones? Certainly not. These bones are dry and brittle once cooked and can splinter, resulting in serious damage to your dog’s mouth or digestive tract.

If you do feed your dog pork, it is important that the pork is unseasoned and well-cooked. Seasoned or raw pork can cause serious health issues for your dog. Pork is high in fat and a high-fat diet can cause inflammation, pancreatitis, and other digestive problems. Keep the portions small and use pork as a special treat rather than a main staple in their diet.

  1. i was told there was a chemical in pork that was bad for dogs.
    after all you see lots of dog foods that say they contain chicken or fish or beef or even lamb but i havent seen any that say pork or bacon yet pork is a cheaper meat

  2. I regularly treat my black lab to smoked pork ham bones that I get from my local meat shop,.. he loves them and has had no issues of bone splintering unless they really get dried out after having them for a while. I let him have the dryer ones until he actually cracks them open to get the remaining marrow out and then toss the remains out afterword.

  3. My Lab eats a Fromm kibble heavy on red meat, and pork is one of the main ingredients. Until I started feeding him this brand, I never realized pork was good for dogs – in fact, I thought the opposite.

Cuttlefish That Change Shape To Avoid Predators | The Mary Sue
Skip to main content

Shape-Shifting Cuttlefish Use Visual Clues

There are many examples of species that change their visual appearance to protect themselves from predators, most notably the chameleon. Among these color changing animals is the cuttlefish, and related species of squid and octopus, which have long been known to change their coloring to help them blend in with nearby objects.

But now researchers have shown that cuttlefish take blending-in one step further. New research from the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA has demonstrated for the first time that Cuttlefish also change their physical position to make them appear inconspicuous to predators.

The researchers demonstrated that when a new object was introduced to a cuttlefish’s environment the fish would change its positioning to mimic the new object. This shows that visual stimuli can be used to trigger a reaction from the fish, in which it changes the positioning of its “arms” to make itself look more like the foreign object.

In addition to changing position in the presence of a new object, the cuttlefish also demonstrated the ability to observe and adapt to varying backgrounds. When placed in an enclosure with various vertical and angled stripes, the cuttlefish would raise its “arms” to align itself with the black and white bands.

According to the scientists, this research serves as another example of adaptive behaviors implemented by cephalopods to throw predators off their trail. The paper on the cuttlefish shape-shifting was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. The researchers hope it will inspire further studies into the camouflaging behaviors of other species.

Ryanair posts €273m loss but looks to post-pandemic recovery

Irish budget airline is banking on surge in summer travel to bring post-Covid rebound

Budget airline Ryanair is beginning to see signs of recovery as it sets a target for halting coronavirus-induced losses amid a surge in summer travel to European beaches.

The region's biggest discount carrier should break even or post a small loss for the year through to March, assuming the distribution of vaccines contains infection rates, it said on Monday.

The Irish company posted a smaller-than-expected first-quarter loss of €273 million ($322 million).

Ryanair's chief financial officer Neil Sorahan said "people are keen to get out and get a summer holiday".

"Bookings have been pretty strong over the last couple of weeks, particularly as the European digital Covid certificate has been rolled out," he told BBC's Radio 4 Today programme. "Confidence is coming back."

Ryanair has been adding seats faster than most competitors and keeping fares low to fill them as travel begins to recover in Europe.

The Dublin-based company said passenger numbers should exceed 90 million in 2022, aiding its bid to win market share, after previously predicting that they would be at the lower end of an 80 million to 120 million range.

Receipts from add-ons such as priority boarding and seat reservations are expected to support margins until prices recover, the airline said.

Ryanair’s loss for the three months through June was slightly lower than the €277 million average estimate of analysts, despite having widened from €185 million a year earlier, as hoped-for Easter traffic failed to materialise.

Mr Sorahan said there was still a degree of uncertainty in the market as passengers remain cautious amid Covid-19 restrictions.

"Traditionally, you would have seen people book three to six months ahead but given the uncertainty in the market, that has become a much shorter window," he said.

However, Daniel Roeska, an analyst with Sanford C Bernstein, said Ryanair's passenger outlook provided evidence that “the recovery is real and happening right now".

Although summer earnings will be vital, limiting winter losses will also be key, he said.

Ryanair said the main focus now is on filling planes. It intends to cut fares to help occupancy return to pre-Covid levels.

The first-quarter load factor was 73 per cent and Mr Sorahan said the objective is to reach 90 per cent or so over the fiscal year, with pricing strengthening towards the end of the period and into next summer.

The airline said this month that it plans to hire 2,000 pilots over the next three years to fly 210 new Boeing 737 Max jets that it began operating in June.

However, Britain, Ryanair’s biggest market, remains a question mark. Frequent changes to travel restrictions, combined with costly testing requirements, have put off many there from travelling this summer.

However, Mr Sorahan said it appeared travel in the UK is “picking up again".

"The UK has been a little bit haphazard with what is on the green list, what is on the amber list," he said. "But over 70 per cent of the UK population are fully vaccinated at this point of time."

Limited places for Welsh students

24th August 2011

Share This Article:

New figures released by UCAS show that a third of Welsh students risk missing out on a place at university.

WalesIt has emerged that for each remaining vacancy there are as many as four applicants. The figures also showed that of Welsh students, 259 less were accepted into university compared to this time last year. Despite this the number of applicants has risen compared to 2010. The overall percentage of students accepted on to university has fallen by 0.7% this year.

The data is not definitive, but it does consider the ongoing clearing process in which students who did not receive an offer are matched to courses that still have vacancies. Shadow Education Minister Angela Burns has said the figures suggest that Welsh students have lost out to the English.

The President of NUS Wales, Luke Young, says the reasons behind the new figures are increased competition and a drop in top A-level results. He added that even Welsh students with good A-level results are being pushed out by a cap of numbers. There is a concern that the fall in Welsh students gaining A* and A grades could result in difficulties for them to secure a university place.

Mr Young added that one important thing now is to look at the demographic of the Welsh students turned away by universities. It may be that they have not had the same educational opportunities and support as the ones who managed to secure a place.

A Welsh government spokesperson has said that it is too early to assess the UCAS figures as the clearing process is still ongoing. He also added that for students who have missed out on a university place there are other options, such as further education or the Open University.

Humanitarian convoy to the US Mexico militarizes the border –

A human caravan is traveling through Central America that begins to alarm the Biden administration even before it takes office. About 9,000 Hondurans managed to enter Guatemala last week on their way to the United States. Among them are many families and dozens of children. For the time being, the Guatemalan army has succeeded in stopping them with tear gas and batons. The majority of migrants do not seem to want to turn around and they have camped on the edge of a highway in Chiquimula province, some 200 kilometers from the capital. A few thousand managed to continue north in small groups.

If you are interested in news from Latin America, and from the South of the world, subscribe to the new free Corriere Mondo Capovolto newsletter by clicking here.

Honduras is experiencing an unprecedented economic and humanitarian crisis: In addition to the pandemic, the passage of hurricanes Iota y Eta last year destroyed a large portion of industrial infrastructure and nearly a million people found themselves in poverty overnight. Hence the attempt to escape towards the American dream, which many today seem closer to, without the ideological walls installed by Trump. It will now be essential to see how his Democratic successor will deal with this issue.

For now, it’s the neighbors who have to worry about temporary storage. The Mexican government has massed the National Guard at its southern border along the Sochiat River to block the advance of the largest migrant convoy in recent years, the first of the Biden era. According to various testimonies, after the suppression of the Guatemalan forces, the convoy collapsed and the migrants are now advancing in small groups waiting for their reunification in the north. Many will already be concentrated at the Tecn Umn border post between Guatemala and Mexico.

The march began last Friday in San Pedro Sula: No more than 3,500 people left the industrial capital of Honduras, but many other migrants joined along the road and the caravan, according to estimates, now exceeds 9,000. Honduran border policemen did little or nothing to stop them, and on Sunday morning, they outnumbered fellow Guatemalans at the El Florido border crossing. After nearly twenty kilometers, the security forces engaged in a real battle with the migrants with tear gas and batons.

What will Mexico do now and what requests can it make to the American administration? Who takes office Wednesday? The issue of immigration from the south – as well as new forms of claims and groups, such as caravans – were at the center of Biden’s conversation with Mexican President Lopez Obrador a few days before Christmas. Mexico should ensure safe and orderly migration. However, it also means a solution (and thus aid) to the economic crisis afflicting the countries of Central America: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and even southern Mexico.

Immigrant testimonials are excitingShe told the agency: We have no work or food, so I decided to go to the United States with my daughter Afp Dania Hinestrosa, 23, worked as a maid and left behind three young children. Gisenia Ramirez, 36, echoed her entire family at home.

Antonello Zoffoli Presents the Beauty of Venice in Dreamy Long Exposures

All images by Antonello Zoffoli. Used with Creative Commons permission.

A while back, we had a lovely bird’s eye view of Venice through some stunning aerial photography. Today, we’re adding the dreamy long exposures of Cesena-based documentary and architectural photographer Antonello Zoffoli to our favorite views of the captivating Italian city. If you’re into the serene look that long exposures bring, let this set be an inspiration for you.

The technique is a favorite of many landscape photographers, particularly when working with scenes with bodies of water. We’ve previously seen this style in the atmospheric snaps of Vassilis Tangoulis and Darren Moore with their skillful use of long exposures. Zoffoli’s work, meanwhile, makes a fitting use of the technique to render Venice’s world-famous canals and waterways into dreamy elements.

A Curved Sensor Could Make This 70mm Canon Lens Tiny

High megapixel sensors are great; however, a curved sensor would really spice up the camera market.

We love finding out about new sensors just as much as you do. However, new types of sensors have been hard to come by. Sure, Sony is killing it with their stacked sensors, but there needs to be a big leap technologically. There has been plenty of speculation about global shutters. These would be very cool. Still, recently there has been a lot of noise about curved sensors. Curved sensors would drastically reduce the size of lenses as they would allow for much simpler lens designs. Speaking of lens designs, Canon just filed a patent for a new lens. That’s doesn’t sound too exciting. However, this lens is designed for a curved sensor. Let’s talk about it after the break.

Explore New Zealand Through Landscape Photographer’s New Video, “The Waters of Greenstone”

Screen Shot 2014-01-17 at 7.44.28 AM

Nathan Kaso of Melbourne has been an avid landscape photographer for a few years now, traveling around and exploring Australia and New Zealand to photograph their vast and proud landscapes. Often, he would capture them in a natural (never overproduced) glorious way, sometimes surrounded in early morning fog, sometimes basking in the golden rays of the sun, enticing those who look at his photos to come and discover those lands for themselves.

As amazing as his images are, however, Nathan hasn’t always been a photographer. He planted his roots in the art of capturing light working in video production in Melbourne. Taking advantage of this background, he has been making remarkable timelapse videos using his trusty Canon EOS 5D Mark II for about a year now. His short tilt-shift video, Miniature Melbourne, even won the APA Short Video Contest award for Best Timelapse in 2013.

Most recently, he released a new video entitled “The Waters of Greenstone”. He shot the video for over three weeks on the South Island of New Zealand, again with the help of his Canon EOS 5D Mark II.  Complete with video segments, timelapse sequences, and aerial footages, the video leisurely strides though some of New Zealand’s most majestic landscapes and their ever-changing, transitory elements.

From Arthur’s Pass in the center to the Catlins in the South, “The Waters of Greenstone” explores the majesty and lushness of this subcontinent down under. See the video after the jump.

These 100 Year Old Images Were Found in Antarctica

Images courtesy of the New Zealand Arctic Heritage Trust.

Imaging Resource recently published an incredible story on a stash of 22 images that were frozen in a box recently being discovered in Antarctica. According to a press release from the New Zealand Arctic Heritage Trust, “The Trust’s conservation specialists discovered the clumped together cellulose nitrate negatives in a small box as part of the Ross Sea Heritage Restoration Project which has seen more than 10,000 objects conserved at Scott’s Cape Evans hut. The negatives were removed from Antarctica by the Trust earlier this year. Detailed conservation treatment back in New Zealand separating the negatives has revealed twenty-two images. The photographs are from Ernest Shackleton’s 1914-1917 Ross Sea Party, which spent time living in Scott’s hut after being stranded on Ross Island when their ship blew out to sea.”

The images were shot by Arnold Patrick Spencer-Smith–who was the party’s photographer. Upon looking at their website, one might think that the images might have been glass slides, but instead they’re actually large pieces of cellulose nitrate.

Exploding iPhone injures French teen

'He did not lose an eye'

A French teenager has been injured by his girlfriend's exploding iPhone, little more than a week after Apple was accused of trying to suppress news of an exploding iPod Touch.

According to the AFP, Marie-Dominique Kolega contacted Apple after her son was hit by a flying piece of Jobsian status symbol. Apparently, the iPhone made a hissing noise before the screen shattered, sending shards through the air. "My son was frightened but he did not lose an eye," Kolega told AFP.

Earlier this month, Liverpudlian Ken Stanborough told The Times of London that after he contacted Apple about his daughter's exploding iPod Touch - which made its own hissing sound before rocketing ten feet in the air - the company said it would refund the price of the device if Stanborough and daughter signed a confidentiality agreement banning them from publicly discussing the incident.

Meanwhile, a recent investigation from the a Seattle TV station found that at least 15 people have complained of fire- and burn-related iPod incidents. This info was culled from an 800-page Consumer Product Safety Commission document, and according to the TV station, Apple lawyers tried to suppress that too. ®

McCain Yorkshire Coast 10k is returning to Scarborough - here's when entries open

The eagerly awaited McCain Yorkshire Coast 10k opens for entries on Tuesday June 1 at 7am.

Be quick, as spaces for the popular annual event sold out in under three hours the last time the race was run.

After being cancelled last year due to Covid, this year’s event will be on Sunday October 17 with a limit of 2,000 places.

Starting at 10am, participants will make their way around the Marine Drive, to Sea Life Scarborough returning via the North Bay promenade.

This year’s event will focus heavily on zero waste and reducing its environmental footprint.

The lower entry fee of £16 will not include a free t-shirt; instead organisers have partnered with Trees not Tees, to donate a percentage of each runner’s entry to planting a tree.

The main road race is followed by 2.5k and 1.6k family fun runs – both of which are free for under 15s.

This year, Alan Whelan and Danny Walls from Scarborough Athletics Club have taken the reigns as race directors.

Danny said: “Safety is always our number one priority and runners can feel reassured the event will closely follow all protocols and guidance set down by UK Athletics and the Government.

"A no touch policy will be in place and a robust three step contingency plan is in place, just in case large events need to be scaled back due to Covid.”

Jennifer Domett from McCain said: “We’re really proud to have supported the McCain Yorkshire Coast 10k for the past 12 years – and this year we’ve committed to plant an additional tree for every race entry, including the free family fun runs – so we’re looking at over 4,000 trees in total.

"The environmental benefit of planting a tree is huge.

"It helps us fight against climate change by taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, it provides a home for a diverse range of species, and it gives us clean air to breath.

"We’re delighted to be contributing to a sustainable reforestation project whilst supporting one of the area’s favourite local events.”

Participants who want a t-shirt will still have the option of getting one and every runner will still receive a medal.

The Sun

KATIE Price was today warned she is in "grave danger" of going to jail if she is convicted of sending a "gutter s**g" text to her ex about his fiancee.

The reality star, 43, was charged with breaching a restraining order after allegedly sending the "vile and nasty" message aimed at Kieran Hayler's partner Michelle Penticost.

Katie Price has arrived at court

She has now pleaded not guilty to the charge at Crawley Magistrates' Court.

The court was told Katie allegedly messaged Kieran: "Tell your c****** w***e, piece of s**t, girlfriend not to start on me.

"She has a restraining order so shouldn't try to antagonise me as she is in breach and I'm sure she doesn't want people knowing that she was having an affair with you behind my back. That gutter s**g."

District Judge Amanda Kelly warned her she is in "grave danger" of going to prison if she is convicted.

Katie, who was supported in court by Carl Woods, was bailed to appear at Lewes Crown Court on May 25.

The ex-glamour model was told she must not contact Michelle directly or indirectly under the bail conditions

Katie spent 12 hours in police custody after being arrested at her mucky mansion in January.

She faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison if convicted.

Katie is already on a 16-week suspended sentence for drink driving after she flipped her BMW in a horror smash in September.

A person can be recalled to prison for the length of their suspended sentence if they were to breach the terms of their licence.

Usually a court will focus on the new crime that has been committed when sentencing and take the original term into consideration as an aggravating feature.

In this case, Katie could be jailed for five years with the 16 weeks running concurrently or potentially on top of the main sentence.

Katie was slapped with the five-year order in 2019 after she called Michelle a "f***ing c***" during a tirade at the school gates.

She was forbidden from contacting Michelle "directly or indirectly".

The charge is the latest twist in the troubled star's turbulent life.

In December, Katie avoided jail for flipping her car in a drink-drive crash.

A judge slammed her for believing she is "above the law" but couldn't send her to prison because of a legal loophole.

Katie was driving to see a pal because she was "lonely" when she overturned her BMW in Horsham, West Sussex, in September.

She was already banned from driving when she got behind the wheel after taking cocaine and downing vodka and lemonades.

Sentencing, District Judge Amanda Kelly said: "When you chose to get behind the wheel that night you showed no concern for others.

"You could have killed somebody. Your actions meant the emergency services had to use up their precious time.

"You knowingly and deliberately flouted a court order and not for the first time.

"You seem to think you are above the law."

The judge also said Price, who has six previous driving convictions, had "one of the worst driving records I have ever seen".

She has been in court on at least 16 occasions for her driving offences but has never once been to jail.

Katie and Kieran wed in January 2013 and share two children, Bunny, 5, and six-year-old Jett.

They split in early 2018 following numerous allegations of cheating.

Kieran is now engaged to Michelle and they share a baby son called Apollo.

Meanwhile Katie was dumped by fiancé Carl, 33, last month after he accused her of cheating.

The pair have since reunited with Katie posting a picture of the two of them together.

Corporate Talk: Types of Online Content that Your Business Should Have

Businessman using his tab

In the online world, content is king. This adage always rings true, especially that people who go online consume a lot of material. With this in mind, it will be wise if you invest heavily in online marketing—especially when it comes to content. But many businesses overlook the value of content. They think that it is just something that you should post online for the sake of posting. Now is the time to ditch that thinking and proceed with a pragmatic approach to using content for your business’s advantage.

So if you are planning to use content marketing, you should first come up with the right mix. This means using a variety of content types and pieces to make sure that your campaign is not homogenous—that it is textured and interesting. Here are some of the types of content your website, social media, and other pages should have.

Corporate Videos

This is surely one of the foremost types of content that you should have on your online pages. You need first to establish your identity and what better way to do that with a corporate AVP. Some may find it boring, but it is necessary (and there are some ways to make your corporate video interesting!). At this stage, it is important that you know who to work with. You will need to invest in production, so it will always be wise to find and work with a reliable production fixer. The right producers and directors will make your corporate video stand out.

In your marketing materials, you may have a claim that will warrant some backing up. This will help make sure that your claim is credible. If this is one of the goals of your campaign, it will be advisable that you use infographics. Infographics are sets of visuals that visualize numbers and figures so that the reading public will easily understand them.

Story Campaigns

Online audiences are big fans of stories. They are always on the lookout for content that will give them a fresh perspective on some issues and human insights. So, in this case, you may want to come up with a short film. Create a story that seamlessly integrates your brand and product, and how they help the characters. To create an impactful story, research is essential. You can interview people and ask for their permission to use their story. Just make sure that your brand is properly used and inserted into the theme.

Everyone wants to have some fun. If you want your social media page to be fun and engaging, you can invest in community management. You may want to post memes that people can easily relate to. Just be careful with copyrights. Or if you want, you can create your memes.

Content is king, but do not forget context. You should make sure that your content is produced and deployed at the right time and with the right intention. You may want to work with reliable ad agencies and content marketing specialists.

Graphite Tattoo? What You Need To Know About That Pencil Mark On Your Skin

We’ve all been there; it’s primary school, you and your friends are goofing around, when suddenly someone gets a little too rough and gets a pencil jabbed under their skin. That marks stays with you most of your life, and although unfortunate, is actually a very common thing. In fact, it’s so common that people have a name for it: graphite tattoo.

There are some people, however, who are worried about what this means for them in the long run. Is it toxic? Will it go away? We’ve taken the liberty of answering some of those questions for you.

What is Graphite?

Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon mineral. It is used in a variety of industrial processes, from acting as a dry lubricant in heavy machinery and acting as moderators in nuclear reactors, to its most common form: pencil tip.

Is Graphite The Same as Charcoal?

No, but they are similar. Charcoal is usually made from burnt-up pieces of natural matter, usually wood. Graphite, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring mineral that’s found in rocks.

Most people ask this because they encounter both materials in the same room, due to the fact that both graphite and charcoal are used for art projects and can be used to write with. However, they have key differences.

Charcoal is usually very brittle, flaky, fragile, and doesn’t adhere to paper as well as graphite. Graphite, on the other hand, has a Mohs Scale of Hardness level of 1 or 2, which makes it quite soft. This also gives it structure, and is usually less prone to turning into dust. It also sticks to surface better than charcoal and, because it is non-reactive, can be mixed in with other pigments to create colored graphite.

What is a Graphite Tattoo?

A graphite tattoo is a result of a graphite-tipped pencil (most, if not all, pencils are now made from graphite and clay) getting under the skin and leaving a mark. It’s also called a pencil tattoo.

These aren’t exactly formal terms; despite its commonality, many people thought that their graphite tattoo is unique, which is why no one ever thought of giving it a name. It was only recently, however, when people on social media started bringing it up and found out that thousands of other people share the same mark.

What Color is Graphite

What Color is Graphite?

Graphite ranges from a medium-grey to jet-black. In its natural form, it is both metallic and opaque. However, if it enters your skin, it leaves behind a dull, greyish color that fades over time but doesn’t completely disappear.

On paper, graphite has a slight sheen to it, with a grey color that intensifies into black depending on the amount of pressure you use to draw or write with. The same can be said about a graphite tattoo: the harder it was pressed into your skin, the darker it will. Some graphite tattoos are colored black, while others have a medium to light grey.

Is it Toxic?

Most ‘graphite tattoos’ are the result of a pencil tip piercing the skin. Nowadays, pencils are made from a combination of graphite and clay, and is generally non-toxic, even if ingested (although that’s not recommended either!).

One of the common misconceptions about graphite tattoos is that it is dangerous. This usually stems from the fact that earlier pencils, like the ones from the early 20th century. However, as time passed and people became aware of the toxicity of lead, they replaced pencil tips with graphite, a minimally-toxic and bountiful material. The myth of the lead pencil, however, persisted.

Why Does Graphite Leave a “Tattoo”?

Here’s where it gets interesting. Contrary to popular belief, these graphite tattoos aren’t solid lumps of graphite trapped under the skin: they’re actually tattoos. Being jabbed by a pencil is kind of like getting a stick-and-poke tattoo.

Normal tattoos have to be drawn on by inserting a needle underneath the epidermis and applying the ink on the dermis layer of the skin. Stick-and-poke tattooing is the same concept, only much more primitive and a little more painful.

Pencils do the exact same thing: once they breach the epidermal layer of the skin, they leave behind their “ink”, which is actually graphite particles, in the dermis, where they remain undisturbed and unabsorbed by the skin.

What Health Risks Are Associated With Graphite Tattoos?

Like what was mentioned earlier, graphite is generally non-toxic. Unless you have massive amounts of graphite stuck into you (which is doubtful), it will usually have no ill-effects whatsoever.

The only health risk associated with graphite tattoos is the actual method of application. Since most graphite tattoos are accidental, there’s a chance that the pencil that was jabbed into your skin wasn’t sterilized, which could lead to infection. If a piece of solid graphite breaks off into the skin, it has to be removed carefully as well. Deep puncture wounds can also happen, and should be given immediate medical attention.

Graphite POWDER, on the other hand, does have a few health risks. Prolonged inhalation of tiny amounts of graphite powder over a period of years can cause benign pneumoconiosis, a lung condition that causes constant coughing, shortness of breath, fibrosis, and inflammation. Graphite powder can also aggravate (but not cause) symptoms of asthma, emphysema, and other problems with your respiratory functions. However, this usually doesn’t happen with pencil graphite, as the latter is in a form that is very much safe for human use and does not pose a health risk.

Because of its non-toxicity, graphite is also not poisonous if ingested. Again, you shouldn’t ingest it in the first place, but if you somehow accidentally do, don’t worry, but maybe drink a whole lot of water to flush it out.

Is it Permanent?

Much like regular tattoos, graphite tattoos fade over time, although they’ll still be noticeable for decades and may not permanently disappear on their own. Usually, the only way to get rid of a graphite tattoo is via laser treatment.

Laser tattoo removal works by sending out a beam of light to break up the ink, or in this case, the graphite particles. If that’s not an option, just wait it out; at best, it’ll be an interesting story to tell in the future!

Do Graphite Tattoos Pose a Long-Term Health Threat?

No. Most studies involving the long-term health risks of prolonged graphite exposure are usually related to the inhalation of graphite powder, which is a material that’s mostly used by artists or engineers. Currently, there is no conclusive evidence, let alone a body of study, that has determined a health risk related to graphite tattoos.

The Skull and the Sword as a Tattoo: What It Says About You

Featured Image from: Pacho Tattoo

There are two distinct objects that can represent life. And to have these objects turned into a design and tattooed unto your skin is to declare to the world that you have fully accepted what life holds in store. The only thing that life can promise is death. To have a skull and sword tattoo can serve as a metaphor for you and how you’ve understood what it means to live.

To Have a Head Above Your Shoulders

The skull, as a design, has been used in so many brands – it’s pretty much an understatement to say that it’s iconic. From headphones to rock and roll bands and comic book superheroes – the skull is an emblem for bad-assery. So, for you to get a skull tattoo – to have that symbol of being bad-ass inked on your skin forever – what does that say about your life choices?

I’m sure you have five words:

  1. I
  2. Don’t
  3. Give
  4. A
  5. Fuck

—and that is exactly why you have a skull tattoo!

But apart from being a very nice person who doesn’t care about what other people think, here are the other meanings behind a skull tattoo:

  • An Understanding of Life and Mortality as a ConceptThe skeleton has been, for the longest time, a symbol of death. After all, it is the last thing all things living end up becoming before turning to dust. It is the remnant of our physical being, and the skull is our head, our face – it is the ultimatelyundeniable thing that was once “us.” With that, we can conclude that the skull is a design that represents the death of a person’s character.

    For you to have that as a tattoo can be equated to a person who has accepted, or at the very least, understood, what it means to die. The skull tattoo serves as a reminder that this life is not permanent, and everyone eventually kicks the bucket.

  • An Homage to the Day of the Dead (also known as Dia de los Muertos)skull The Day of the Dead is a huge celebration in Mexico and Latin America, and I’m sure you’ve seen their decorative, intricate skull designs. One way or another, these designs have already been appropriated by artists and businesses in various forms of creative media, and to have it as a tattoo can only serve as an allusion to the popular fiesta. Since the Day of the Dead is a celebration of both life and death, to have this type of skull design as a tattoo is also symbolic of a person’s reverence for culture.

    With the Day of the Dead declared a national holiday in Mexico, to have a skull tattoo bearing its designs is to celebrate the tradition every day. This is what the permanence of tattoos mean – to be a daily reminder of one’s ideologies.

  • Echoing an Image of EvilAgain, with the skull or skeleton often perceived as or associated with death, it has also been an image for evil. In popular culture, for instance, the skull is often usedas the logo forsuper-villains. We also have pirates, whose sails and flags come bearing the infamous skull and crossbones, and these vagrants of the sea don’t exactly have the best reputations out there. Death, above all else, has also been one of the things that humans have associated with evil. Remember how certain religions come with promises of “eternal life” or a “life after death” – why is there an emphasis on immortality? Is this what being good means? To escape death?

    Before I completely digress, we can conclude that it comes as no real surprise why the skull has always been an emblem for evil, darkness, and death. The tattoo of a skull will often bear these meanings to any, or most, conservative. But really, it is the meaning that we ascribe to a design that matters. Whether or not we believe that having a skull tattoo makes us look tougher and meaner on the outside, it is our own personal beliefs that will dictate how choose to live out our lives. (Well that went deeper than I had planned…)

The Ultimate Weapon of Any Hero

The sword is just as prevalent an image as the skull when it comes to visual designs. From the oldest of epics to the most futuristic of fantasy and science fiction stories, the sword has been a powerful image. As a tattoo, the sword can bear several meanings, given its historic symbolisms.

  • A Wide Range of Virtues
    Source: Next Luxury

    A sword tattoo is associated with many attributes, all evoking positive traits. This tattoo website, in particular, lists down twelve, from justice to freedom. It isn’t a shock to go through the list and come up with the linkages between strength and the sword as a design. They’re pretty self-explanatory, as we’ve grown up to watch how the sword is represented in various forms of media. With this in mind, we can say that the sword is a universal design that can represent positivist, hero characteristics. As the primary weapon of the heroic good, a sword is wielded by the noble and kind-hearted to slay all evil.

    Since the sword can carry this meaning – does it not make a beautiful binary to the skull, which is stereotypically associated with death and negativity? The image of a sword pierced through a skull is a recurring design, from tattoos to film sequences, as it symbolizes triumph – the glory of victory; of good beating evil. All in all, the sword has always been a symbol of virtue, and to use it as a tattoo design speaks about the person and how the value honour and character.

  • The Power of the MindAs a symbol, the sword is said to also be a symbol for the mind and its ability to “penetrate” our current way of thinking, and push us past our limits. The expression “mind over matter” is a manifestation of this, and the sword is believed to be a symbol for intellect as a weapon. It is something we can wield to our advantage – to cut out a path for our own victories. I find it interesting that we’ve come to use a tool for war and battle as a symbol for something so abstract such as the mind and intellect. Again, we see how the sword is used as a design that expresses the valuable characteristics of man.

The Skull and Sword on Your Skin

Skull and Sword To have a tattoo bearing a skull and sword in the design is to express one’s self and the characteristics that they hold dear. Take, for instance, given the above mentioned meanings that either design may symbolize, a person with a skull and sword tattoo is someone who feels and thinks deeply about life and man. These people are those who have reflected, and those who continue to try and understand, what life really means.

The skull, as the ethereal symbol for death, is such an existentialist symbol, but it also showcases an aesthetic that boasts of fearlessness. The sword, meanwhile, is the logo for all things heroic. It may come off as archaic, but it is this attachment to age-old tales that the sword can effectively symbolize knightly, angelic traits like courage and honour, among others. The interweaving of these two established tattoo designs can produce several meanings, but if I saw a person with a skull and sword tattoo, one thing immediately comes to mind: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Maybe, this is what the combination truly means – that we are the master of this universe.

Final year UPM student found dead in hostel room

KUALA LUMPUR: A foul stench emanating from a hostel room led to the discovery of the body of a male Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) student on Tuesday night.

Serdang OCPD Asst Comm A.A. Anbalagan said the body of the 29-year-old victim was found in a room on the fifth floor, Block L6, UPM Serdang.

Gold Lifts as the Dollar Slides

The recent rally continues but traders worry about the lack of physical buyers.

Updated from 11:49 a.m. EST

Gold prices eased Friday, after a week of frenetic trading.

After rallying to an intraday high of $655.50 an ounce, prices for February-dated bullion futures backtracked to close down $2.30 at $650.60 on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The exchange-traded funds, which hold the metal, were down also with

streetTracks Gold Shares

iShares Comex Gold Trust

both 0.4% lower recently.

The late-day dip came despite further weakness in the dollar, the primary driver of a rally which has lifted spot prices for the yellow metal from about $568 an ounce on Oct. 5 to current levels. The value of bullion tends to move in the opposite direction to changes in the price of the U.S. currency.

The euro was recently trading at $1.3315, a fresh 20-month high and up from $1.3244 late Thursday. The dollar was also losing against the yen, with one dollar buying 115.293 yen, vs. 115.75 yen previously.

Friday's dollar decline was in part brought on by a weak Institute for Supply Management index, which fell to 49.5 in November, vs. consensus expectations of 52 and an October reading of 51.2. The fall suggests contraction in the manufacturing sector.

Elsewhere, the Economic Cycle Research Institute provided a strangely bright note, on the back of a week of dour data. The ECRI's Weekly Leading Index logged a 1.5% uptick for the period ending November 24, marking the fourth-straight week of increases. The indicator rose 1.4% in the prior increase.

TheStreet Recommends

Although a string of four data points is hardly conclusive, sustained increases in the WLI could point to a stronger economy in 2007, which may reverse the dollar's decline.

Back in the futures trading pits, at least one observer seems concerned that the dollar-driven surge in bullion hasn't induced some of gold's traditional buyers to participate.

The climb "was almost entirely dollar-induced," writes Jon Nadler, an analyst at Montreal-based bullion dealer, Kitco. "We still wish we had seen added bullishness on the part of jewelry buyers and private investors as a component of this rally."

On the technical analysis side, Pasedena Calif.-based MarketVane says the Bullish Consensus for gold rose to 69% bullish from 66% earlier in the week. That's a hair below overbought territory, which starts at 70%.

"It's not extremely overbought and with the uptrend being somewhat stable that's positive for the longer term," says Rich Ishida, president of MarketVane. He adds that the pattern of higher highs and higher lows is positive for a continued upward trend.

Ishida says the next resistance level is at $675, and says the price could hit $700 by year-end.

Among the miners,

Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold

received a nod from technical analyst John Roque at Natexis Bleichroeder in New York. He's targeting a $97 a share, vs. the current price of about $61.

Roque notes that momentum is accelerating, but Freeport's stock, recently off 1.7%, is "not overbought" yet.

The weaker bullion price was weighing down on the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index, recently off 1.3%.

In base metals, March delivery copper contracts eased off, closing down 2.35 cents at $3.172 a pound on the Comex.

In light of robust oil and natural gas prices, many investors are hoping that 2007 will be another solid year for energy equities.

While 2006 has been a good year for many energy investors, it wasn't quite as strong as 2005. Moreover, there are growing concerns that oil and natural gas inventories are building and that an economic slowdown could curtail demand. Both could affect prices of commodities and energy stocks.

Despite those valid worries, the underlying fundamentals of the energy markets remain solid. Demand from developing countries such as China and India should keep growing for years to come, while supply challenges, combined with exogenous political variables, should support relatively strong commodity prices into the New Year.

Here's a look at a handful of themes that may emerge in 2007.

Supply Challenges

Although many pundits point to signs of high inventories, the global crude oil and North American natural gas markets are still near the long-term supply-demand equilibrium.

Moreover, fundamental supply challenges remain. On the oil front, the Saudis are still seeing declines in their legacy oil-production fields, and Mexico's prize Cantarell oil field has peaked and is declining quickly. While there have been some appealing deep-water discoveries, such as the one in the Gulf of Mexico made by

, meaningful production is years away and will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to develop.

While natural gas remains largely a regional market, its supply fundamentals are just as challenged as crude oil. Production decline rates in existing wells average about 30%, which means drilling must be done more quickly just to remain at break-even. A growing rig count could have little impact on overall production.

In addition, geopolitical risks -- such as instability in the Middle East, violence in Nigeria and political unrest in Venezuela -- have not substantially improved in the past 12 months. The potential still exists for price spikes due to political disruption in the coming year.

New Horizons

The continued quest for new sources of oil and natural gas should lead exploration-and-production companies to new arenas of exploration. The recent increase in activity in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico is an example. Chevron's discovery, and increased interest from companies such as

Scroll to Continue

TheStreet Recommends

, all bode well for continued development.

Increased offshore development will certainly benefit offshore drilling companies such as

as well as companies that provide subsea production systems, such as

FMC Technologies

Moreover, new technologies such as subsea separation could increase efficiency and productivity, providing even more opportunities for growth in offshore exploration. FMC Technologies is emerging as a leader in this technology, which helps increase oil recovery from offshore fields.

is installing the first subsea separation system from FMC in 2007 at a cost of $100 million. Consultants suggest the separation market could be as large as $15 billion over the next decade, providing a potential windfall for FMC and other companies that pursue the business.

New horizons aren't limited to offshore. Unconventional gas resources -- shale plays such as the Barnett and Fayetteville regions -- will also become more important in the production mix in 2007. Companies such as

Southwestern Energy

-- a dominant player in the Fayetteville Shale -- are improving drilling efficiency and using new technologies to make new production techniques more productive and less expensive. The same is true in the more developed Barnett Shale and newer shale plays such as the New Albany region and the vastly unexplored Floyd Shale in Mississippi and Alabama. All of these areas will play an important role in new exploration into the new year.

Like any other year, 2007 will have its share of surprises in store for the energy sector. There's already been plenty of talk about possible merger-and-acquisition activity, and that chatter will likely continue.

The recently announced merger of

Norsk Hydro's

( NHY) offshore oil and gas assets into Statoil has escalated talk of megamergers in the energy sector. However, don't ignore the likely plethora of smaller deals that are happening all the time.

This week's announcement from private start-up

Vantage Energy

-- run by Roger Biemans, former

EnCana USA

chief, and Tom Tyree, former CFO of

Bill Barrett

-- that it has raised nearly $500 million shows the increasing level of interest in energy among private-equity firms. That interest will probably spill over into the public markets, with plenty of money chasing hot exploration plays in the U.S. and abroad. That should lead to more asset-divestiture deals by public companies, especially smaller firms looking for capital to focus on core operations.

Another surprise may be the major integrated companies' renewed interest in North American natural gas. After

purchase of

Burlington Resources

earlier this year, other majors, especially

( RDSA) and

, could be on the prowl for large portfolios of U.S. natural gas assets. If so, any of the large independents might be in the majors' sights in 2007.

Up or down, next year should prove to be a very eventful one in the energy space. Happy New Year!

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (MainStreet) -- A few days ago, I tweeted a question that got some interesting responses: "Is it possible that financial advisers' bent towards long-term saving strips clients of joy today?"

Please also be mindful, if you're not a Twitter aficionado, that the medium restricts you to no more than 140 characters. As a result, tweeters get right to the point, sacrificing context.

The responses I got were vociferous, both in support and opposition of the implied comment in my question. Interestingly, all were from financial advisers. Here was the first grenade lobbed back: "It's not just possible; it's a fact. We're in the business of selling deferred gratification."

That comment came from a good person who is no doubt an excellent adviser. And without a doubt this is the majority opinion of the estimated 500,000-plus who refer to themselves as some form of financial adviser or professional in the lower 48. So advisers are in the business of selling deferred gratification, knowingly stripping our clients -- you -- of joy today? How do you feel about that? Does that make you want to run out to hire one?

This faulty premise leads to a number of mistaken presumptions and results. First, many financial advisers do see themselves as the protectors of their clients' futures, an ostensibly noble mission until we're reminded most also just happen to get paid more the more you're willing to defer. There's no way around this blatant conflict of interest, and any adviser caught obscuring this truth behind a veil of self-righteousness is deluding himself or herself.

Scroll to Continue

TheStreet Recommends

There is no question that the job -- even the duty -- of a financial adviser in almost every case is to encourage clients to consider and establish a reasonable plan for deferring some of today for tomorrow, and to occasionally protest an attempted withdrawal spurred by a temporary urge in spite of better judgment (like the time a 20-something client wanted to take an early withdrawal from his Roth IRA to buy a Jet Ski). But I believe financial planning focused too heavily on the future is little better than encouraging an "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" approach.

While I absolutely believe we, as humans, have a tendency to overvalue that which is seen or imminent over that which is unseen and seemingly distant, there is also no denying the "one-in-the-hand, two-in-the-bush" adage. We must resist the urge to make a comprehensive financial plan the protector of only the future and strip funding from what people need today. The ideal financial plan helps manage the short, mid and long term, balancing money and life.

Encouragingly, I believe there is an awakening among financial planners to the reality that for a plan to be relevant, it must help more of life's timeline. In response to my tweet, Nathan Gehring, a Wisconsin cheesehead (and financial planner and blogger), called for balance and Dr. Carolyn McClanahan, a physician-turned-planner in Florida, noted she feels a duty to provide a plan more relevant to today. Interestingly, McClanahan and I share near brushes with death that likely add to our insistence on this issue. But it doesn't take a near-death experience to grasp this important truth.

By the way, the biggest mistakes planners and clients make regarding deferred gratification are not in our saving and investing patterns, but in our choices of vocation ... how we choose to spend the estimated 101,568 working hours in our lifetime. In 1902, Alice Morse Earle wrote, "The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present."

How much of life do you spend chasing tomorrow?

Best Things to Do to Deal with Negative Emotions

Anger, sadness, fear, or whatever bad emotion. I didn't originally put the items in any order but people can vote for what they consider to be the best way of helping themselves.
The Top Ten
1 Listen to music Listen to music

Music is amazing. I don't think anyone can argue with this. Music is always there for you and always will be. It will help you with anything: anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and it also will help you when you're just bored. It doesn't matter what your taste in music is, it will always help you through anything. Lyrics can be relatable and the instruments make you get all of your problems out and move on. It always has helped me, and it always will.

All things considered, some music can be counterproductive. I mean, I understand where you're coming from, but sometimes instead of improving your mood, songs like Yesterday, (It's Hard) Letting You Go, and The Long and Winding Road, to name a few, can...amplify your sadness. There are also a few songs that amplify anger and fear, but overall, I agree. Most songs are helpful.

2 Talk to people you trust

People give really good advice to others, and there's a lot of venting communities on the internet. It's great. I believe we should all stick together all the time, because no one deserves to feel alone or unaccepted. I speak to some people like my brother and some venting communities.

This always helps me when I feel stressed out.

3 Sleep

Snuggling up in warm blankets with the fan blowing over your face is the best feeling in the world. Very relaxing and if you get good sleep you'd probably feel better in the morning. You're not getting any of my 117 blankets though. They're mine.

4 Play games

As I said with watching movies you sometimes need something to escape reality. You can finish stuff you've been working on in Minecraft or Animal Crossing, make the perfect Pokemon team (still working on mine, to be honest I will never be finished), or just do some good old Mario Kart races with friends.

5 Watch movies Watch movies

There's quite a few movies that will get you laughing, like Wayne's World, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, The Simpsons Movie, and Shrek. If you're not in the mood for comedy movies there's also some movies that have characters that you would relate to in a certain situation. Sometimes you just need to escape reality.

6 Draw

There's some art called vent art and it's actually not that bad. Sure some of the art can be considered cringey by a few people but who cares you're getting your emotions out and that's all that matters. I've seen some legitimately great vent art as well, seeing other people's vent art might help as well. I'm not going to judge vent art though, if it's what makes them feel better than there's nothing wrong with it.

7 Take a shower

There's just something about taking showers that never fail to make me feel better. It might be the calmness of water falling on your head while you close your eyes, visioning a waterfall. OK what's my deal with waterfalls? I don't understand. Eh who cares. Once you're out of the shower you feel completely refreshed. I love taking showers.

8 Shop

For example, you can buy art supplies, clothes, games, stuff for your game consoles (I really need to get a new stylus for my 3DS wow), or stuff for your room (like posters or plushies to give your room a nice atmosphere). Just buy whatever you want, it's your money.

9 Drum on things

I don't know if this is one of the first things people think of when thinking of venting ideas but I did this one time and it really helped. Absolutely recommended that you do that when listening to a song with headphones, makes you feel like you're the drummer. And if you have actual drums then that's even better. A good way to get rid of some anger.

10 Be with your pet Be with your pet

Pets are really comforting and if you need comfort then just play with your dog or pet your cat on your lap then you could have your troubles float away. Sometimes seeing your little kitten playing and being happy will make you feel happy as well.

The Contenders
11 Exercise

I like to walk outside exercising will release endorphins which will definitely help.

12 Box (sport) Box (sport)

This is the easiest way to project your anger in if you have a punching bag, or a pillow as an alternative, especially if you are a person with anger issues.

13 Cry
14 Use an icepack
15 Pray

Michigan Truck Accident Lawyers

Have you or a loved one been injured in a truck accident in Michigan?

Michigan Truck Accident Lawyers

Michigan accidents involving large commercial vehicles like semis, tractor-trailers, fuel tankers, buses, and dump trucks are among the most severe motor vehicle collisions in Michigan and across the United States. These can involve companies like UPS, FedEx, DHL, and the USPS to name a few. Truck accidents can result in serious injuries for victims, especially if the accident was between a large commercial truck and biker or pedestrian. Despite the many laws that regulate the operation of commercial vehicles in the state, many operators ignore them, committing endless safety and traffic violations that can cost an innocent person to suffer serious injuries.

Michigan truck accidents are often the result of negligence, including speeding, aggressive driving, and fatigue, as well as the result of the truck company’s failure to properly maintain vehicle or ensure their loads are within a reasonable weight. Regardless of what caused the accident itself, it’s important for you to know you have a right to obtain legal counsel.

Get the compensation you deserve. Don’t wait until it’s too late!

Verizon sells 3.4m Android phones and 3.1m iPhones in Q3, more than 250m people now covered by LTE network

New, 29 comments
verizon generic logo

Verizon just announced its financial results for Q3 2012, revealing increased smartphone and LTE adoption along with buoyant revenues. The wireless carrier added 1.5 million postpaid connections — its highest number in four years — and now has a total subscriber base of almost 96 million. Smartphone sales for the quarter rose to 6.8 million, accounting for 79 percent of postpaid phone sales. The 53 percent of the carrier's customers are now using smartphones. 4.5 million LTE devices were activated over the quarter, up from 3.2 million last quarter, and over 35 percent of all data traffic on Verizon's network is on LTE. As for the size of that ever-growing network, Verizon says that its LTE network now covers more than 250 million people in the US, over 80 percent of the country's population. That's up from the 75 percent coverage we last heard.

Increased smartphone and LTE use helped increase Verizon's average revenue per account (ARPA) from $143.32 to $145.42; a modest increase, but still significantly higher than last year's $136.57. Verizon's churn rate (the number of customers not renewing their contracts) rose slightly quarter-over-quarter to 0.91%, but that's still down from the 0.94% figure announced this time last year.

Verizon's wireline business remained stable, counting 136,000 new FiOS internet customers and 119,000 FiOS video subscribers. The figures are almost identical to last quarter when the company reported 134,000 internet and 120,000 video additions. Q3 operating revenues dropped $235 million year-over-year, thanks largely to poor results from its Global Enterprise and Wholesale divisions. Consumer retail rose slightly to offset the drop, and wireline operating income stood at $41 million for the quarter, down from $53 million last year. Total retail service revenue for the quarter was $15.5 billion, an increase of 7.3 percent year-over-year. Verizon will be holding a conference call this morning to give more details on its quarterly performance, and we'll update this post with any take-outs from the call.

Update: Verizon is giving its quarterly recap conference call right now and just indicated that 3.4 million of its smartphone sales were for Android devices, three million of which were LTE devices. Verizon also sold 3.1 million iPhones, 21 percent of which were iPhone 5 models running on Verizon's LTE network. This means Verizon sold more than 650,000 iPhone 5 devices between its September 21st launch and the end of the quarter. Verizon CFO Fran Shammo also noted that the iPhone 5 was unsurprisingly supply-constrained in Q3, and that "we're not sure where we're going to stand in the fourth quarter." It sounds like Apple's latest might continue to be hard to come by for the near future.

Verizon also indicated that 13 percent of its retail postpaid customers had adopted its new Share Everything data plans, with Verizon CFO Fran Shammo calling the new plans "successful and well-received" and saying that Share Everything "proved to be yet another compelling reason for customers to choose Verizon." The new plans are also the reason why Verizon is now reporting ARPA rather than ARPU — the company is very focused on the total value it can get out of a single account, rather than a single user.

Karnataka BJP MLA's daughter jumps signal, misbehaves with cops

According to sources, she wasn't wearing a seatbelt either

BJP MLA Aravind Nimbavali's daughter misbehaved with Bengaluru cops after she jumped a traffic signal on Thursday. She was in a BMW when she did not stop at a red light. The MLA's daughter also misbehaved with a local journalist and a cameraperson.

She argued with the police over the traffic rule violation. The cops showed her evidence and collected a fine of Rs 10,000. "I want to go now. Don't hold the car. You can't put a case on me for overtaking. This is MLA vehicle. We haven't driven rash. My father is Aravind Limbavali," she told the officer who stopped her vehicle.

According to sources, she wasn't wearing a seatbelt either. The cops reportedly ignored her when she told them who she was. A crowd gathered on the road in front of the Raj Bhavan, where she was stopped. She demanded that she be allowed to go home as she did not have the money to pay the fine. Eventually, her friend who was in the car with her paid the fine.
