RaGG-e WBX 5″ Mini Quad Frame

The WBX 5″ Mini Quad frame is designed and manufactured by a UK based company. It has an unique, crash resistant design.

We have seen enough carbon fibre mini quad frames, it’s exciting to know that the WBX frame is made from HDPE, a type of plastic that has high strength-to-density ratio.

Get your WBX 5″ frame from RaGG-e.co.uk.

RaGG-e WBX 5″ frame Spec

The diagonal motor to motor distance is 205mm (branded as 210 frame though). It weights 162g assembled. Supports 5″ Propellers. There is also a 6″ version of this frame.

The frame kit includes the following items:

  • Main Frame
  • Spacer Module
  • Camera Mount Module
  • Bottom Plate
  • Camera Protector
  • 2 camera cage standoffs
  • 4 main frame standoffs
  • Some Stainless Steel fasteners

Some of the included plates are optional, you can install them, or leave them out to save weight.

The interesting design is really eye catching. My first impression was how stiff and tough it is, but it’s also pretty heavy.

However your electronics such as the FC and PDB can be well protected.

Build Pictures

I have yet to get the parts for building this frame, so RaGG provided me with some build pictures of this frame, to give our readers an idea where the components can be mounted. You can drill holes and modify the frame to make it easier for your needs. There is no right or wrong way to build this frame.

The PDB sits under the main frame.

The frame supports 22xx motors, and the motors are well protected by the motor mounts.

The motor wires can be routed through the hole and reach the PDB under the arm.

Many assumed the main frame arms are hollow and put the ESC in there, but no, the arms are solid (for maximum strength according to RaGG-e), so the ESC can only be mounted under or on top of the arm. (or inside the bottom bay if you don’t worry about air-flow)

If you are following these pictures for your build, then you will have to drill the holes on the bottom bay to allow the ESC signal/power wires to go though.

Here is the flight controller, you can see that there is plenty of space left after the FC is installed. Cables can pass though from the PDB to any electronics above the FC.

The WBX is designed to use the HS1177, Runcam Swift or any other cameras that use this sort of brackets. The holes for the VTX antenna is not on the frame originally, you have to drill it yourself.

And finally with the camera cage installed. A clean and solid build.

3D printed accessories

I am seeing more and more 3D printing designed parts for the WBX 5″ that improve user experience.

Good things

  • Interesting design
  • Very rigid, very tough and crash-resistant – close to indestructible
  • Components are well protected inside the frame
  • Motors are well protected
  • Many good 3D printed accessories coming out for this frame

Things need to improve

  • Quite heavy – probably the main factor that scare most people away
  • I would love to see more pre-drilled holes, at least the few basic ones for: ESC wires, FC USB, VTX antenna. Drilling on HDPE is not easy without a dremel. If you don’t drill those holes, you will find yourself needing longer wires and they are also more exposed
  • No FC/PDB standoff included

Update (11/06/2016)

RaGG-e is working on some alternative bottom and top plates, using lighter material such as G10 or Carbon fibre to reduce the total weight of the frame. They manage to drop the weight down to around 106-110g. These plates will be available in a couple of weeks and can be purchased separately.

Update (30/Aug/2016)

We are now building this quad, the build log can be found here.

  1. Drefpv76

    Oxfpv also has two HDPE frames, I guess you can say a true-x racer and h-frame freestyle. I grabbed the racer can’t recall name, wasn’t catchy I guess but yes it’s a tank. Solid and heavy. It’s my basher quad to remove my stuck in tree quads lol. No I don’t bash it into my quad but it’s good at taking branch beatings that loosen the trees hold and quad drops lol. It’s really not that much fun to use otherwise cause of the weight. Needs powerful motors that kill batteries thus has low flight time.

  2. Henry Howeson

    How do you get the STL files for these things? Looking to design some 3d printed accessories, maybe some for the fossilstuff gravity too.

  3. Jeff

    It’s not unique, check out the Fossils Stuff frames which Ragg-e was “inspired” by..

    Both made of HDPE and good frames, more thought into the build for the fossils though including those holes, FC mount, etc

      1. Ben

        That’s not right chap, the 250 is an X, if not X in style… And there is the FSGX which is an X style and layout. This frame was designed by someone who worked for FS, all a bit messy

      1. Ben

        Incorrect but hey ho, in the end the stuff learnt whilst working for FS was taken and used to design these, including things in development at the time like the FSGX.

  4. Peter Kornum

    Like the gopro session Mount on the last Picture…. Any chance of a thingiverse link? Cant find it….

You Said It: Trudeau government must accept blame for Phoenix, too

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.Darryl Dyck / THE CANADIAN PRESS

Re: Both to blame in Phoenix fiasco, Sunday, Aug. 19

What a mess, of course!

Despite repeated warnings in 2016, the Justin Trudeau government signed off on the Phoenix pay system and problems have mothballed into what we have today.

Blame? It is difficult not wanting to lay blame on the previous government, whose intentions were to introduce a new pay system, create jobs in New Brunswick and save our treasury loads of money, but the Liberals are the ones who signed off, thus must shoulder most of that blame.

The Liberals had a choice — could have said let’s wait. When things go right, the Liberals are quick to take credit and accolades, but, when the opposite happens, they are even quicker to lay blame.

Remember CETA, the Canada European Trade Agreement, where Trudeau gladly signed off this long-awaited entente, taking full credit. Remember Trudeau giving the Harper government credit for having worked out all the details? No? Thought so!

Then COP21, the 2016 Paris Climate Conference, where Trudeau again gladly accepted credit for his commitment to reach certain target numbers; numbers he had mocked Stephen Harper as not being “aggressive or creative enough” during the 2015 election campaign? Yet, surprisingly, Trudeau signed off using Harper’s exact numbers! Again, no mention or credit awarded the previous goovernment’s  meticulous work. Harper was right!

So, if the Trudeau government gladly accepts credit and accolades for hard work performed by others, then it must be prepared to accept blame and scorn for failures and fiascos it signed off on. Can’t have it both ways!

(Thanks for your letter.)

The only reason Justin Trudeau let and continues to let illegal border crossings occur is his belief that they will all vote for him next year as a thank you and continuation of all the free stuff they will receive for years to come since it will take years to process them, especially if they decide to fight a certain decision.

The fact that he has no plan and refuses to pay for his decision and calls out anyone who questions him about it is unacceptable, and we should all be mad as hell.

(Point taken.)

Re: What about the war heroes? Aug. 25

Sandy Johnston is correct in her letter that Justin Trudeau does not respect our Canadian military.

Trudeau learned this from his father, Pierre, when he dismantled much of our power and destroyed the uniforms of each separate unit of the force, so the soldiers could not parade their army, navy or airforce proud traditions to the public.

This was not unexpected, though, when Pierre Trudeau didn’t feel the necessity of fighting for his country in the Second World War, he thought investigating the qualities of communism in the Soviet Union was more important.

Justin Trudeau is practising what his father taught him, to Canada’s unfortunate peril.

(Canadian veterans deserve our utmost respect.)

9 to 5, 5-7-5

For some reason, working on spreadsheets and going to meetings is not very creatively satisfying most days. Some days the creative side of your mind just sort of slowly sneaks out of the conference room by the back door, leaving the more responsible part of your brain to take notes and make important sounding comments about “synergy” and “margins”, like a grey matter Ferris Bueller. Sometimes, this side of my brain writes haikus:

Meetings are endless

At least they have free coffee

Caffeine is my friend.

The cursor is stuck

I think I forgot to save

Blue screen of death. Joy.

Write your own while waiting for the IT guy to (hopefully) save the report you just spent 4 hours putting together that your boss needs in five minutes. And have fun!

Quantitative Spatial Economics

From Redding and Rossi-Hansberg:

The observed uneven distribution of economic activity across space is influenced by variation in exogenous geographical characteristics and endogenous interactions between agents in goods and factor markets. Until recently, the theoretical literature on economic geography had focused on styl- ized settings that could not easily be taken to the data. This paper reviews more recent research that has developed quantitative models of economic geography. These models are rich enough to speak to first-order features of the data, such as many heterogenous locations and gravity equation rela- tionships for trade and commuting. Yet at the same time these models are sufficiently tractable to undertake realistic counterfactuals exercises to study the effect of changes in amenities, productivity, and public policy interventions such as transport infrastructure investments. We provide an extensive taxonomy of the different building blocks of these quantitative spatial models and discuss their main properties and quantification.

I’m Not Even Where I Want to Be Yet

When Lauryn hill said it’s funny how money changes the situation I feel that real deep from within. Your friends and family would rather see you lose then win and be so quick to burst ya bubble with a pin. Like we don’t have the same mother fucking hours in a day like you can’t make the choice to stay home and work then go out and rave but hey if you’re jealous of the moves I make the problem is with you take a leaf out my book and be prosperous too.

Vacation Guide: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Vacation Guide: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico |

Recently I was able to reunite with some of my college friends in the best way possible – four days lounging on the beach and swimming in the ocean in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We went for all-out relaxation and chose to stay at the RIU Santa Fe, an all-inclusive resort right on the beach. This was my first all-inclusive experience and I have to admit I was hesitant about it because it is so different from the way I normally travel, but it’s not hard to settle in to all-you-can-eat and drink.

We had an overall amazing experience at the RIU and I highly recommend looking into it if you’re planning a trip to Cabo. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and was always around to assist with anything we needed, whether that meant answering logistical questions or starting our day with a laugh and conversation at the bar. The complex is very large so I cannot imagine feeling cramped if you wanted to take advantage of the amenities in the resort for the entire duration of your stay (although Cabo is worth getting out to explore!). The pools are expansive and have in-water lounge chairs and swim-up bars. The infinity pool over the beach has the best views for people watching during the day and stargazing at night. The main hub of the resort with shops, bars, a stage, and dance club is tons of fun at night when most of the guests come down to drink and dance.

Vacation Guide: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico |

La Baja California, the main restaurant, and one of the two infinity pools

One of my favorite activities to do in Cabo is to take any sort of boat out to see the infamous El Arco and the sea lions that lounge on the rocks around it. There are a ton of different ways you can do this. In the past, I have done booze cruises, whale watching tours, kayak and paddle board rentals, and glass-bottom boats. This trip, we opted for a water taxi that dropped us off at Lover’s Beach for a couple of hours and a snorkeling tour the next day.

Vacation Guide: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico |

View of El Arco from Caborey

Water taxis are a blast and the easiest way to cruise around the gulf. You can flag one down all along the beach, and it’s usually pretty cheap. They can bring you out to the arc or another beach or provide a ride into town via the marina. We paid about $10 each plus tip between the four of us for a round trip. Our drivers were a ton of fun and took us to see the arc and right up close to the seals  – one of the spots I look forward to every trip. They’re pretty used to people so if you pick a non-motorized way to go like a kayak or paddle board you might just get lucky enough to make a new friend. I’ve had a particularly outgoing seal bump up against my kayak with his nose.

Vacation Guide: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico |

Approaching Playa del Amor, and the seals that lounge near it, on a water taxi

Playa del Amor (or Lover’s Beach) does have vendors selling beer and food, but it’s much cheaper to grab a few from the hotel and bring a bag for the day. The other side of Lover’s Beach is appropriately called Divorce Beach because of the turmoil and recklessness of the Pacific waves. We swam in the calm waters on Lover’s Beach for a little bit and then posted up on the other side to look out into the Pacific Ocean. The beach is clean and not too crowded and great to relax. There were some local boys surfing in the water on Divorce Beach, but I would highly advise against swimming in the water there because of the strong undertow. During high tide the waves make it up onto the beach and crash above the rocks. It used to terrify me to even be on that side of the beach when I was a kid!

Vacation Guide: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico |

Lover’s Beach (left) and Divorce Beach (right)

On the way back to our resort, we met some guys on the beach who were selling activities packages. They have all levels of pricing and styles of trips and are great to book with. We bartered back and forth with them for a little bit and managed to get a round trip ride to the marina, and a half day snorkeling package with drinks and lunch included for only $35 each – half of the standard price for that package. While I’d never want to rip anyone off, it’s always good to haggle the price a little bit as they will usually give you a discount if they are just trying to fill the last few spots on a tour or start trying to sell you the most expensive package right off the bat.

Early the next day, we walked down the beach a little where our taxi was waiting. It dropped us off in the marina where we boarded the Caborey and took off along the coast towards Chileno Bay with another mandatory stop by El Arco on the way. Once in the Bay, we had the chance to jump off the top deck of the boat before snorkeling which is an awesome thrill if you’ve never done it! It feels a lot further than it looks and once I jumped I was wondering when I was going to hit the water. I don’t think I kept my body as straight as they advise you to do because I definitely felt the impact of the water on my legs – ouch! It still felt amazing to jump in after sunbathing on the hot boat deck before and the adrenaline rush was great energy for swimming around the rest of the day.

Vacation Guide: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico |

The Caborey and looking off the top deck before jumping

The snorkeling in Chileno Bay is pretty good! I’m not a very experienced snorkeler so I don’t have too much to compare it to, but there’s a great variety of fish and it’s shallow enough that you can dive down a little and explore the reefs. The crew of the boat brought some food into the water and would float around and lure the fish over so all of the sudden you’d have a swarming school of fish all around you. Pretty freaky to me but I still had so much fun! They also have a couple of paddle boards you can use if you get sick of snorkeling. The lunch provided was fajitas and the whole package was awesome. I highly recommend it. It’s also not an all day outing so you can still do something else after or get in half a day of relaxing.

In-water photos taken with an old fashioned disposable camera

When we got back to the marina and decided to walk around and do some shopping. I love the open air market, but there are a ton of different shops to explore. It’s also a nice walk to get back to the hotel from the marina. You can either go back via the beach or through town, which is a little faster since you aren’t walking on sand. You can also access two of the popular beach clubs through either direction. Mango Deck is the party on the beach. Think the stereotypical spring break scene. They’ve always got 2-for-1 happy hour and do have good food. It’s a ton of fun and has people of all ages at all times. My absolute favorite restaurant on the beach is right next door. The Office was the first restaurant on Medano Beach and has amazing food, great service, and of course good margaritas. They have events every night including their Fiesta Mexicana on Thursdays which features Mexican traditions and folklore. We didn’t make it to the show this trip, but it’s been my favorite in years past.

2-for-1 Coconut Margaritas at Mango Deck, Entertainment at Mango Deck, and sunset at The Office

We walked back to our hotel at sunset and watched the giant moon rise over the ocean. During your stay in Cabo you have to go out to the water at sunrise and sunset – there’s just nothing like it. Those times of day on the beach are so calm and surreal.

By the time we got back it was dark so we went for a little nighttime swim in the ocean and then headed back to the hotel. I wish we could have stayed longer but even a weekend in Cabo is so worth it!

Rookie Park grabs early lead at Arkansas Championship

Park Sung-Hyun rolled in six straight birdies as she rode a hot putter to an eight-under 63 and a two-shot lead after the first round of the LPGA Tour’s Arkansas Championship on Friday. The Tour rookie ended her birdie run with her only bogey of the day then fashioned three more birdies on the back nine. She maintained the lead despite hitting just eight of 13 fairways. “My play was best with putter today, very good,” Park said.
The opening round was delayed for nearly an hour because of poor weather.
Three players are two shots back of Park, including fellow South Korean Ryu So-Yeon, Mel Reid and Ally McDonald.
Park is one of two rookies in the top four as Reid shot a 65 to post her low round of the season. Reid, who missed the cut in her last three tournaments, birdied five of her first seven holes. A hole-in-one at the par-three 11th moved her to eight under, but she made bogey on two of the final seven holes.
Ryu shot a bogey-free 65 while carding a half dozen birdies. McDonald finished with seven birdies and a bogey. Former winner Stacy Lewis was part of a group that included Juli Inkster, Thailand’s Moriya Jutanugarn, Felicity Johnson and Katherine Kirk at five under.
Defending champion Lydia Ko shot a one-under 70. Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth fired a one-under par 69 to seize a one-stroke lead over fellow Americans Patrick Reed and Troy Merritt after Friday’s second round of the US PGA Travelers Championship.
Sixth-ranked Spieth, the 2015 Masters and US Open champion seeking his 10th tour title, stood on eight-under par 132 after 36 holes at TPC River Highlands near Hartford, Connecticut.
Reed opened and closed with birdies in firing a 66 while Merritt shot 68 to stand on 133 with compatriots Wesley Bryan, Daniel Summerhays, Boo Weekley and Chase Seiffert another stroke adrift. Spieth, who began on the back nine, birdied the par-4 12th but pulled his tee shot well left at the par-5 13th and took a penalty stroke on the way to a double bogey.
“I was a little tentative to start,” Spieth said. “I had a double cross off the tee at the par-5, made double, but responded nicely.”
Spieth answered with a four-foot birdie putt at the par-4 15th, then birdied the first and third holes, the latter from 35 feet.
“It was nice to see as many of those putts as possible go in to give me some confidence for the weekend,” Spieth said.—AFP

Clearing out the dust bunnies - links updated [Apr. 24th, 2012|01:14 am]
PaperCut -- Scanlation Group

A few days ago I was surprised by a visitor to this dusty little comm in the forgotten corner of the web. It certainly brought back a lot of memories. A lot has changed, I got a job and my love for scanlations had to be placed on the back burner. But for all of you out there who still loves OP, I'm re-uploading and consolidating.

Looking back I regret not finishing the Hachimaru anthology, and it's been so long already - to think that Robin was the new crew member when the anthology was published =.=

Hachimaru Hen - Ap the Best Anthology #1(9 stories, incomplete)
Hachimaru Hen - Touching Distance
Brave Story (v2c3 & c4 only)

I might be wrong, but I think the Yamato & Haga Inochi links still work, and if they don't then by all means let me know.

-Three, the magic number -Trois, le chiffre magique-

January: my favorite month (in Australia…because, let’s face it, in France, at that time of the year, it is cold and miserable…)Soooo the middle of summer, the new year and the no-schedules weeks are always a time I cherish to re-organise our home and work space.

For the organisation of the everyday life, I already use the very efficient -Three Things- rule : every night, write down 3 things you can do the next day for:

– your business,

– your home,

– your children,

– your hobby,

etc. and be realistic about timing! This helps me getting through the day knowing that I have accomplished some things, rather than seeing the  same never-ending to-do list and feeling like I never get anything done.

Choose only 3 things in each category and it will work!

3 cartes

-The Map Game-

This week, I’ve decided to join the Creative Woman Circle with the Resolution project to organise my year better.

Now is time to start navigating through this new year!

The sacrament of Confirmation, along with Baptism and Eucharist, is one of the three sacraments of initiation. At Confirmation the Holy Spirit strengthens the baptized Christian and endows her or him with gifts to enable us to carry out our mission to be Christ in the world and to continue building God’s kingdom. To be fully a member of the Catholic Church, one needs to be baptized, confirmed and receive first Eucharist.

Teen Confirmation is a two year process of preparation at St. Benedict through our teen program. This journey invites the youth to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Our goal is that our youth become further acquainted with the unconditional Love of God so that they might face the challenges of life rooted in faith and without fear.

If you are an adult who was baptized in another Christian tradition and would like to become Catholic, please see our page on the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

If you are a baptized Catholic, age 21 or older, have received First Holy Communion and wish to complete your initiation into the Catholic faith, the Adult Confirmation process is the right one for you. Please contact us to find out information for the next confirmation class in the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Teen & Adult confirmation is coordinated by the Director of Catechesis Daniel Hughes at St. Benedict Parish. Please contact Daniel at

Happy 2012! It’s the third day of the new year, yet all I have been doing is catching up with the yesteryear. Watching movies, reading books, listening to music–all the things I missed while chalking away during the school year. I realize that I’ve been a slacker: I have only written a total of seven posts in 2011, but.

The day I came home after school ended coincided with my mother’s return from Mauritius, where she has been working for the past year. Our family reunited, but 2/3 of us were jet-lagged, and 1/3 of us was sick; so instead of a big tight hug, we all collapsed. After Christmas, we all had our shares of recuperative shopping spree–my mom with her two day tour of mall after malls, me with my wishlist on Amazon, and my dad with a trip to the Houston Chinatown. Before New Years, my mother dug these jewelry out of her treasure drawer and passed them on to me. I think it was an excuse to get rid of things in order to buy new ones. But I happened to like everyone of them, because my mom has a kickass taste.

Jewelry passed down from moms and grandmas always feels so precious to me. They are reminders of love that I can carry with me wherever I go. I feel protected. Poised.

It’s what made them so beautiful. If only I carry with me a sliver of that beauty.

What are your favorite jewelry passed down from your mom, grandmas, grand-grandmas…?

Mr ARCHIE CAMERON (BARKER, SOUTH AUSTRALIA) (Postmaster-General) - I refer to a picture which appeared in the Adelaide Advertiser of the 24th May depicting the Minister for Information addressing a meeting of the workers at the factory of Richards Brothers Limited. Can the Minister explain why it was necessary to insert between him and his audience a very strong iron fence? Was it " to prevent him from being pelted with something more lethal than pennies, or Was it because Adelaide people had seen a Sydney newspaper cartoon and could not imagine the "cageminded" Minister addressing any gathering except from a cage?

What is Ras el Hanout?

A prized Moroccan spice blend, Ras el Hanout takes its name from an Arabic phrase that can be loosely translated as “top of the shop”–meaning the very best a spice merchant has to offer. This complex medley of seasonings is notable for its rich aroma and well-balanced curry-like flavor.

 Here’s a recipe about making Tagine with Ras el Hanout. Which you can find all the spices and ingredients for this delicious dish at Pars Market!

  • 3 Tbs. ras el hanout
  • 1 Tbs. sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste
  • 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste
  • 3 lb. short ribs, cut into serving pieces, external fat trimmed to 1/4 inch
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup cubed peeled butternut squash
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine, such as Syrah
  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth, plus more, as needed
  • 1 Tbs. honey (optional)

For the spiced couscous:

  • 2 cups couscous
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
  • 1/4 cup dried currants
  • 1 tsp. finely grated orange zest
  • 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

In a small bowl, stir together the ras el hanout, paprika, the 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Rub the mixture over the short ribs, coating them evenly. Let stand at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 350°F.

Heat a large, heavy fry pan over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil and heat until the surface shimmers. Add the short ribs and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Pour off all but 2 Tbs. of the fat in the pan. Add the onion, carrots, squash and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the wine, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Add the tomatoes and the 1/2 cup stock.

Transfer the mixture to a tagine. Add the short ribs, pushing them down into the vegetables. Cover the tagine, transfer to the oven and bake until the meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, prepare the spiced couscous: Rinse the couscous in a fine-mesh sieve under cold running water. Set aside to drain for 15 minutes.

Fill the bottom compartment of the couscoussiere halfway with water, making sure the water does not touch the steam tray above. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Spread the couscous out on a baking sheet and aerate by lightly rubbing the clumps between your palms and raking your fingers through the couscous.

Line the steam tray with a piece of cheesecloth. Brush the cheesecloth with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Place the couscous on the cheesecloth. Cover the couscoussiere and steam for 20 minutes. Again, spread the couscous out on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil, 1/4 cup cold water, the turmeric and the 1/2 tsp. salt. Sprinkle the liquid over the couscous and aerate with your fingers, breaking up any lumps.

Make sure there is still water in the lower compartment, then return the couscous to the lined steam tray. Cover and steam for 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the couscous to a serving bowl. Using a spoon, gently fold in the currants, orange zest and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Transfer the short ribs to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let the sauce cool for 5 minutes, then skim the fat off the surface. If the sauce is too thick, stir in more stock, 2 Tbs. at a time. Stir in the honey, and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.

Divide the spiced couscous among warmed bowls. Top with the short ribs and sauce and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.

Anatomy of the ear

Anatomy of the ear

Your ears do the remarkable job of allowing you to hear a huge range of sounds, from a whisper to a loud bang. To do this, the ear transforms sound energy into electrical signals which the brain can interpret. Your ears also help to maintain your balance.

Structure of the ear

The ear - normal hearing

The ear is roughly divided into three parts. The outer (external) ear includes the part you can see (called the pinna) and the narrow tube-like structure - the ear canal. At the end of the canal is the eardrum. This separates the external ear from the middle ear. The eardrum is a tightly stretched membrane, a bit like the skin of a drum.

The middle ear is a small air-filled compartment which sits in the skull between the eardrum and the inner ear. Inside it are the three smallest bones in the body, called malleus, incus and stapes. These bones are connected to each other. The last in the group, stapes, also makes contact with the inner ear. The air space of the middle ear connects to the back of the nose by the Eustachian tube, a narrow tube which can let air in or out of the space. It can also allow infections like the common cold to spread from the throat and nose to the ears.

The inner ear is made up of two components - the cochlea and the vestibular system. The cochlea is involved with hearing, whilst the vestibular system helps with balance.

The cochlea is a snail-shaped chamber filled with fluid. It is lined with special sensory cells called hair cells which are sensitive to sound. The hairs are different lengths and each responds most at a particular pitch of sound (the pitch of a sound is its musical note). These cells transform sound waves into electrical signals, which are then sent from the cochlea to the hearing area of the brain via the cochlear nerve.

The vestibular system is made up of a network of looped tubes, three in each ear, called the semicircular canals. They loop off a central area called the vestibule. The vestibular system detects movement through special sensory cells which are activated as you tilt or move your head. The vestibular system is very sensitive to small movements of the head. If you make large, fast or prolonged movements (eg, spinning around on the spot) they can take a while to 'settle down' afterwards. This is why the room can appear to continue to spin when we stop spinning. The vestibular system sends signals to the vestibular nerve, which joins the cochlear nerve and carries electrical signals to the brain.

How do you hear?

Sound waves are created when air vibrates. To hear, the ear needs to change sound into electrical signals which the brain can interpret. The outer part of the ear (the pinna) funnels sound waves into the ear canal. When sound waves reach the eardrum they cause it to vibrate. Vibrations of the eardrum cause the tiny bones in the middle ear to move too. The last of these bones, the stapes, passes on the vibrations through another membrane to the cochlea.

When the cochlea receives the vibrations, the fluid inside it moves. As the fluid moves, it causes the sensory cells to create an electrical signal. This electrical signal is sent to the brain. Special areas in the brain receive these signals and translate them into what we know as sound.

Your ears create electrical signals to represent an extraordinary variety of sounds. For example, the speed at which the eardrum vibrates varies with different types of sound. With low-pitched sounds the eardrum vibrates slowly. With high-pitched sounds it vibrates faster. This means that the special hair cells in the cochlea also vibrate at varying speeds. This causes different signals to be sent to the brain. This is one of the ways we are able to distinguish between a wide range of sounds.

How do you keep your balance?

Balance is maintained not only by the vestibular system found in your ears but also by your visual and sensory systems. If any one of these systems is damaged, you may experience dizziness or loss of balance.

The brain uses the visual system to help orientate us in our surroundings. The vestibular system detects both circular motion and movement in a straight line. This includes everyday actions such as stopping, starting or turning. The sensory system keeps track of the movement and tension of our muscles and joints. It also monitors the position of our body with respect to the ground. The brain receives signals from all these systems and processes the information gathered to produce a sensation of stability.

The tubes and sacs within the vestibular system are filled with fluid. When we move our heads, this fluid also moves. The vestibular system also contains specialised sensory cells. Movement of the fluid causes these sensory cells to bend. This change results in an electrical signal which is carried, via a nerve, to the brain for interpretation.

Once the brain has interpreted the signals as movement, it controls your eyes so that they keep providing information about your position. The brain also sends signals to your muscles so that they help to ensure balance regardless of the position of your body.

If the signals sent to the brain by the vestibular system do not match those which the eyes and sensory system send then dizziness and motion sickness can result. This can happen, for example, if you travel on a boat but you are looking at the boat rather than at the horizon. Your eyes see that you are not moving relative to the boat but your ears and body can feel that you are moving. It's the discrepancy between the two that causes the motion sickness.

Rotunda: The Center for Human Reproduction

Fertility consultation and treatment are usually long and emotionally arduous processes. As most couples struggling with these issues know, such procedures are also expensive and usually not covered by health insurance. In addition, fertility treatment conducted in a general hospital can often be a purely clinical, somewhat dehumanizing experience. As an alternative to high costs and impersonal care, couples are increasingly choosing to get started abroad, then return to the their home countries to continue treatment, connect with support groups and ongoing counseling.

Founded in 1963 and based in Mumbai, Rotunda is one of India’s most respected fertility treatment facility. In-house pathology, endoscopy, and sonography services allow a couple to undergo all tests and procedures under one roof. International in reach, Rotunda has delivered more than 4,500 newborns in 30 countries.

In addition to the standard fertility services, Rotunda also offers gestational surrogacy services, donor egg in vitro fertilization (IVF), laser-assisted hatching, and a recurrent pregnancy loss clinic. A staff of 10 directors, fertility specialists, embryologists and researchers have received training in the UK, India, Belgium and Germany.

Rotunda's Travel Services department welcomes patients at the airport, helps manage hotel bookings, local transport, ticketing and visa support, sight-seeing or even selecting a "last-minute gift for family back home." A free online second opinion is available as part of the initial consultation process.

Rotunda is India’s only lesbian-gay-bisexual-transsexual-friendly center.

Rotunda treats about 100 international patients annually.

Feeding Your Tweens and Teens

Adolescents need extra nutrition and sleep during periods of rapid growth. Many changes occur to the body between the ages of 9 and early 20s (depending on puberty timing). How active a person is will change how many calories and nutrients are needed.

Teach kids and teens to watch portion sizes as well as what they eat. The following guidelines will help them make good food choices. In addition to healthy foods, it is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics that all children take a daily vitamin with Vitamin D and iron.

See also MyPlate.

Each day you should eat:

  • 6-11 servings of whole grain breads, cereal, pasta and rice (6 oz.)
  • 3-5 servings of vegetables
  • 4 servings of fruit or fruit juice (Choose fruit more often than juice. Be sure your juice is 100% juice and children over 7 years of age should drink no more than 8 ounce of juice per day.)
  • 3-4 servings of low fat milk, yogurt or cheese (3 cups)
  • 2-3 servings of fish, chicken, turkey, lean meat, dry beans, nuts and eggs (5.5 oz.)
  • Use margarine, butter, oil, and sweets in small amounts (6 tsp.)
  • For those on a vegetarian diet, learn more about healthy vegetarian guidelines.
Fruits, vegetables and grains are important because they give you lots of energy, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Try to eat a variety of these foods every day.

Building healthy bones

During adolescence, your bones are also growing and getting stronger. If your diet is poor, your bones will not be able to reach their peak size. Your bones need enough calcium, Vitamin D and other minerals to grow well. If you don't get enough of these nutrients during adolescence, your bones may not be as strong as you grow older.

Calcium is found mostly in milk and dairy products. You should get about 1300 milligrams of calcium each day from your diet. By eating 4 servings of these foods each day you will get most of the calcium you need. If you can't eat at least 4 servings of these foods, ask your dietitian or doctor about calcium supplements.

Sources of calcium

Choose low fat or non-fat products:
  • Milk (low-fat, skim, or lacto-free)
  • Low fat yogurt
  • Cheese
  • Pudding
  • Frozen yogurt
  • Milkshakes
  • Ice cream
  • Chocolate milk
  • Canned salmon
  • Greens (1 cup)
  • Cheese pizza
  • Hot cocoa (made with milk)
  • Calcium fortified orange juice
  • Fortified soy milk

300 - 350 milligrams of calcium each

  • 1 cup milk, fat free or 1% (8 oz.) or Lact-Aid milk
  • 1 8 oz. container of yogurt with fruit
  • 1 cup or 8 oz. calcium rich orange juice with Vitamin D

200 - 250 milligrams of calcium each

  • 1 cup frozen low-fat yogurt (brands vary)
  • 1 6 oz. container low-fat yogurt with fruit
  • 1 slice (1 oz.) Swiss cheese
  • 1 slice (1 oz.) cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup "Total" cereal (read labels for other brands)
  • 3 oz. Tofu (varies with brand)
  • 2 oz. sardines
  • 3/4 cup cooked collard greens
  • 1/2 cup low-fat Cottage cheese
  • 1 cereal bar (read labels, some have less!)

50-100 milligrams of calcium each

  • 1/4 cup canned salmon
  • 1/2 cup cooked kale or bok choy
  • 1/2 cup cooked soybeans
  • 1/2 cup regular cottage cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
  • orange
Those who can't drink milk or eat dairy products can still eat the foods listed above in bold print. If you are unable to eat about 1200 milligrams of calcium each day on a regular basis, you could consider taking a calcium supplement. Tums (or other brand chewable tablets) are a safe, well- absorbed and inexpensive source of calcium. Other supplements containing calcium carbonate, calcium citrate or calcium gluconate are also good. The calcium in your diet plus your supplement should equal 1300 milligrams a day. A supplement with both calcium and Vitamin D is preferred for better absorption.

Vitamin D and bone health

Vitamin D is necessary for your body to absorb the calcium needed by your bones. It is found in milk, eggs and some fish, or is activated by sunlight shining on your skin.

If you do not drink 33 ounces of milk a day, chances are you are not getting enough Vitamin D in your diet. To get enough Vitamin D from the sun, you must expose your bare face and arms to the sun for 10-15 minutes three times a week. Sunscreen will block the sun from activating Vitamin D, so it is best to get this sunlight in the mornings or evenings.

During the winter months, the sun is not strong enough, so you will need to drink enough milk or take a Vitamin D supplement of 400 IU each day. This can be found in multi-vitamins, Vitamin D supplements alone, or in fish oil.

The importance of exercise

Exercising and eating a well balanced diet will also promote good bone health. Exercise can strengthen bone, especially weight bearing activities such as walking, playing basketball and strength training. This includes most exercises except swimming and cycling.

A balanced diet keeps bones strong

Eating whole grain foods, green leafy vegetables, nuts and seafood, which contain other bone strengthening nutrients, may also help. Drinks containing caffeine or phosphoric acid (like carbonated drinks) are not good choices because they cause your body to lose calcium. Eating a good diet with plenty of calcium and Vitamin D will help you have healthy bones for a long time to come.

Water is another important part of a good diet. Drink at least 8 to 10 cups (8 oz.) of water each day. If you play sports or are very active, you will need more, especially if you are exercising in hot weather.

Sterlings: Men's Clothing

Erwer, Yavar 11, 06120

Pedestrians of all species treated Polly differently today as she walked through Otherton. She had walked past the Embassy and spotted Zia, standing at the front door, walking back and forth with her effortless efficiency. Zia had looked right at her and not recognized her. She liked that effect.

Polly reached back and stroked the back of her bare neck. Cutting her hair short again had been the biggest step. She regretted having to cut it although she knew it would grow back. She had fretted all night about her plan, wondering if Zia might like her less for it. Zia had never pulled on her hair during sex, and rarely commented on Polly’s appearance. At most, Zia wanted Polly to look “passable” for whatever role she was playing at the moment: officer, lady, physician, girlfriend.

Polly thought back to the statuesque Zia Tau and the way she looked at her office, standing at attention. “Girlfriend” was the word they used for one another, even after six months. Polly had once believed they might progress to “lover,” but she doubted it now. Other than those weird, sad flashes that she saw on Zia’s face now and then, Zia was pure and ideal Spartan: she did her duty to the community and never opened her heart to anyone. That she had strange and demanding pleasures was acceptable so long as she could turn away from them and toward her greater civic duty when called upon to do so. Zia had never let Polly believe anything other than that this relationship could be put on hold at a moment’s notice, and if Zia had to give her life for the Embassy, well, that was tough. Polly was on her own.

Polly had switched to using a wrist-mounted padd as the glasses might have given away her charade. She checked it, found nothing. She was on call, but then she was always “on call” these days. Other than routine checkups, most of the emergencies were covered by the Terrans in the Otherton clinic and they were far better equipped. Polly had been studying Pendorian and Terran medical techniques and was relieved to know that treating trauma was still the same in the primary and secondary care phases. She was studying how to deal with near-terminal cases, and the extent to which trauma-based brain medicine was automated daunted her.

She sat at one of the ubiquitous cafes, this one associated with a browseshop, looking around with casual indifference. The browseshops were media distribution stores where one could buy books or music the producers had decided were worth paying for. The idea was simple enough: cover art and samples could be had in vast quantities, and the chance of bumping into someone else who shared one’s taste added to the charm. An abstract bookstore. She shifted a little in her chair: the discomfort in her chest would last until Zia came off duty.

Zia walked in on schedule and scanned the room, then frowned. Polly laughed to herself. She pushed the chair back, stood up, and walked over to where Zia stood. She had practiced her voice all morning. “Can I help you soldier?”

Zia looked right at her. “I’m looking for someone.”

“Me, perhaps?”

Zia glanced around the room. “No, not you. A friend.”

She shifted to her normal voice “But, Zia, you are looking for me.” She took off her hat, ran her hand through the short shock of hair that was left on top of her head.

“Polly?” Zia was stunned, staring at her. “What did you do?”

“I wanted to see what it was like to dress as a mel– a man, I mean. I knew that Dove’s lovers always like to dress up as girls, so I asked them where I could learn to do the opposite.” She smiled wide. “They took me to a store on the other side of Otherton.” That sounded odd to her.

Zia examined the outfit. The leather cap, denim trousers, hard angular shirt with a tartan design, square workboots, and Polly’s newly shortened hair all conspired to hide her femininity. Zia smirked, leaned down and said, “What happened to your boobs?”

Polly replied in the same low tones, “They sell a chest binder. It’s a little uncomfortable, but it works.”

“I see,” Zia said. She reached out for Polly’s hand. “C’mon. We’re going back to the apartment.”

“Zia, what– ?” Polly laughed. She knew what she Zia wanted. She wanted it too.

They left the cafe and walked along the streets. Zia walked briskly along the wide sidewalks, Polly running in the newly purchased and not yet broken boots. “Try to keep up, Polly,” Zia said.

Polly’s jeans pressed against her crotch in uncomfortable and unfamiliar ways. Running, the fabric slipped back and forth over the head of her dick and it grew hard. “This isn’t good,” she muttered. She caught a glance of herself in a shop window and halted.

She had seen herself a few times in the store mirror. In the window she saw herself after walking in the costume for two or three hours, judging what other males wore, and she liked what she saw of herself. “I look… male.” It was a strange sensation. There had been segments in her history and biology classes where images of masculinity were shown, but for the most part pictures of men were as rare as pictures of lobsters, perhaps less so: there were lobster farms on the Free Worlds.

Even more surprising to her, she reminded herself of Saul and her erection surged. “Polly?”

“Zia?” She looked up.

“Admiring yourself?” Zia’s feral grin was severe. Her eyes dropped down the length of Polly’s front to her crotch. “I see that you are.” She closed in on Polly, shielding her actions from the eyes of others, and stroked Polly’s dick through the fabric.

“Zia!” Polly hissed. “Don’t.”

“But why not?” Zia said. “It likes it.”

“Someone might see! Leave it alone, it’ll go away.”

“Someone might,” Zia agreed. “Or might not. But there’s no way I’m leaving your beautiful hard dick alone.” She grabbed Polly’s hand and pulled her into an alleyway. The alley was wide enough for the narrower delivery vehicles driving around the city. Zia pushed Polly up against the wall, their bodies barely hidden from the street by a large red-and-white iron transfer bin with “no garbage” stenciled all over it. “You’re so beautiful, Polly.”

“Zia, what are you–” Polly’s voice went up an octave as Zia’s hand found the zipper on her jeans and pulled them open. With a rough shove she reached in and found her prize. “Zia!”

“Be quiet. You don’t want to attract attention.” She pulled Polly’s dick into the open air. It slapped against her wrist as she stroked it. Polly struggled to contain herself. “You like that, don’t you? Your big dick is going to shoot all over my hands, and then I’m going to take you home and make you come a dozen times. How come you’re not wearing any underwear?”

Polly managed to gasp, “The Free World shorts didn’t fit with the trousers. Zia!”

“Good,” Zia said. Polly sagged against the wall, her whole body tense with need. Zia knew how to bring her off, and she could just contained the groan of pleasure as her body shuddered and she came, sending a jet of come into Zia’s waiting palms. Zia grinned and looked down. “You should put that away,” she said.

Polly shoved her dick down into her pants, taking extra care with the unfamiliar zipper. Zia shook the semen off her hand then licked up the remains, still grinning. “We’re just getting started, Polly. Let’s get home.” She grabbed Polly’s hand and pulled the girl.

The entire walk home, Zia never let go of her hand. Polly felt like a ribbon, a kite, some lightweight toy a mischievous child let fly in the breeze. When they reached the apartment they shared Zia didn’t hesitate. She threw Polly against the couch, then tore open her jeans with such force Polly was afraid she would rip something. Polly’s dick, already hard again, flipped up, ready.

Zia licked the the length of Polly’s dick from the base up to the tip, then engulfed half of it in one sweep. Polly groaned. “Zia, not so hard.”

Zia ignored Polly’s pleas, shoving her mouth down further onto Polly, oblivious to anything but the dick in her mouth. She engulfed it down to the base and let her tongue flicker out as far as she could to Polly’s perineum to make her point. There was one thing she could that almost no other woman could: she could take all of Polly’s dick down her throat. It had taken weeks of practice but she had been determined to master it.

Polly watched helplessly as Zia’s head bobbed on her dick. She twisted against the couch, her whole body on fire with physical demands that wrestled with her embarrassment. She panted hard, fighting the building, explosive pressure within her crotch. Zia’s sucking mouth was so strong it was on the verge of painful, but only just: Zia knew better than anyone how to make Polly suffer with ecstasy and like it afterward. “Zia, I’m gonna…!”

Zia swallowed Polly’s dick as Polly came. Polly didn’t even try to hold back her shout. Her come seemed to be torn out of her as Zia sucked even harder. “Zia, don’t! Goddess, you’re doing that too hard!”

Zia released Polly’s dick, which flopped against Polly’s belly, still hard. A thin trail of come dribbled from her lip, but she wiped it with a fingertip and then licked her finger. “So good, Polly.”

“What’s happened to you, Zia?”

Zia answered Polly with a forceful kiss, a demanding, aching kiss. She rode up the length of Polly’s body until her hips were over Polly’s. She grabbed Polly’s dick and positioned it, then slid down onto it, her pussy engulfing Polly like a trap. Polly gasped, “Too strong, too soon!”

“But you’re still hard,” Zia said. She rode on Polly’s cock with a force like a hurricane, and Polly held on to Zia’s arms, desperate for any anchor against her lover. Zia was a wonderful and demanding fuck almost all of the time, but right now she was something else, possessed of a will that was unlike her normal, horny self. Her breasts bounced within centimeters of Polly’s eyes, and Polly grabbed each one in turn and sucked on them. “Ah, yah, fuh, yah…” Zia moaned. “Suck ‘em!”

“I’m gonna come, Zia, soon!”

“Not until I do!” Zia said.

“Then don’t go so fast! Not so tight!” Polly cried as Zia’s hips continued their incessant battering. It was too much, and she came again, deep inside Zia’s warm, incredible pussy. And still she was hard. “Zia, please, stop!” she whined.

“No,” Zia growled. “I was close. Not until I come.”

“I feel like I’m gonna die!” Polly moaned through the amazing agony of Zia’s pussy wrapped around her dick. That was only half true. The course of her climax was set in motion and there was no holding back. Even as Zia pounded at her, her aching dick throbbed and she came again.

“Closer,” Zia whispered. “Goddess, closer!” She forced herself down onto Polly’s dick, which throbbed with near agonizing force back into full hardness. “Close, yes… I’m there, Polly, I’m there! Yes!” She came hard around Polly’s dick, her whole body rigid, high-pitched whining from her throat as her body jerked and pulsated with ecstacy.

“Oh, Goddess,” Zia said, her eyes dark again with animal lust. “That was much better than usual. Ready for more?”

Polly panted. Her whole body hurt now. She felt as if Zia had drained her not just of come but of something more, as if her body had tapped out reserves in her spinal column to fulfill Zia’s needs. She shook her head. “No. No more. I don’t… I don’t have any more.”

“I bet I can find more,” Zia said. Polly’s prodigious dick lay soft against her belly. Zia looked down, turned around, pulled Polly’s dick into an upright position.

“Told you,” Polly said, still gasping. “I’m not gonna be hard for hours.”

“Yes you will,” Zia said. She turned around on the couch so she was facing away, then reached between both of their legs and slipped two fingers up into Polly’s asshole.

Polly squealed, “Zia!” But those fingers sliding deep into her made her dick respond, and incredibly it stiffened under Zia’s direct and effective assault. Polly moaned aloud as Zia slipped down onto her dick again. “Stop it, Zia!” she cried, half-meaning it.

“But it worked!” Zia panted, her body pounding up and down. “It always works with your big dick.” Sweat was pouring down her back, off her arms. “So good… fuh, fuck yeah!”

“Stop playing with my ass! That feels so weird!”

“So good, Polly, so good…”

Polly couldn’t help it. Zia’s pussy was always the best thing she had ever known, and this day was no exception. “I’m gonna come, Zia!”

“Not yet!”

“Yes!” Polly shouted as her cock throbbed hard against the walls of Zia’s pussy. There was nothing left for Polly to shoot and the twitching force of her orgasm hurt. Her cock remained hard, Zia’s fingers up against her prostate.

Zia kept going. Polly moaned, her head thrown back, exhaustion disabling every muscle from the neck down except the ones that seemed to be keeping her dick hard, and Zia was now just using her, like she always did, a fuck toy, the best fuck toy owner on the planet. The little noises from Polly’s throat came from a firing nervous system with only a tenuous connection to her brain, but she heard Zia cry out, “Gonna come, fuh, fuh, fuh, gonna come, I’m … come!” Zia threw her head back and howled like an animal. Zia’s body clenched repeatedly around her dick even as Polly came one final time, almost simultaneously and without any input from the rest of her.

Polly sagged back against the couch, a trail of drool coursing down her cheek. Zia lay next to her on the couch. “Can you keep going, Polly?”

“No,” she moaned. “That’s it. That’s my limit. Any more and I’m gonna die.” She picked up her head and looked down. “Goddess, I think my dick got smaller, Zia. You pulled off pieces and parts.”

Zia laughed. “I don’t think so.”

The ubiquitous hand towels she kept in a box under the bed and the couch came out, and she handed one to Polly while she applied another to herself. She winced. Polly said, “Wow, even your body can wear out.”

“The twins swear bodies don’t wear out,” Zia said.

“They also understand when Dove needs a rest,” Polly replied. “Goddess, Zia, what’s gotten in to you? You’ve been… wild. Strange. Stranger than usual.”

Zia looked at her, the curious, sad expression fleeting past. “I told you I was a freak.”

“But I am too,” Polly said. “And I’m not unhappy with it.” Impulsively, she straddled Zia, took the other woman’s face in her hands. Zia looked surprised as Polly kissed her.

Zia sighed into the kiss, then turned her head away, embarrassed. “Let’s get showered. I have to dress up and make nice for the Ambassador tonight anyway. The signing is next week, and she has a lot of appointments between now and then.”

Metabolism during development

We are interested in how the environment shapes our physiology and metabolism. Research focuses on identifying the protective mechanisms that allow developing and adult animals to cope with environmental challenges such as malnutrition and oxidative stress. This research also aims to shed light on how environmental factors and genes interact during metabolic and age-related diseases. Much of our research utilises Drosophila.

To dig or not to dig?

Dog Digging A Hole in the Yard
Image source Bing Images

Digging is an instinctual habit of dogs but an undesirable trait according to dog owners.

It appears that people are more concerned about the appearance of their lawns than the psychological development of their dogs. After all, it’s expensive to produce a well-manicured lawn and the destruction caused by digging dogs frustrates pet owners.

According to Shore, Riley, & Douglas (2006), one of the reasons dog owners turn their dogs over to animal shelters is digging. So clearly, dogs and their owners must work together through this issue.

There are several reasons a dog resorts to digging. First, it’s hardwired into their DNA to dig.

In fact, breeders bred some dogs because of their digging abilities. According to Cesar Millan, the desire to dig is “especially strong in terrier breeds.”

Second, it gives them an outlet for their energy. When a dog doesn’t have an outlet, they become bored and naturally gravitate toward their digging instinct.

Third, they dig to ward off intruders like moles and other ground-dwelling animals. According to Yvette Van Veen in the Toronto Star, “Dogs notice these uninvited guests- often well before owners. [When they do], they usually start to dig.”

Fourth, they dig to provide themselves a place to cool off during the summer. The cool earth provides a nice place to cool off in warmer months. I’ve also observed that in colder months, dogs will cuddle together in a previously dug hole to keep warm.

Digging is part of who your dog is. Asking your dog to stop digging is like asking him to change his nature. Why? So you can have a pristine lawn. Your dog doesn’t understand why your lawn is so important, after all, it’s his bathroom. Not that he doesn’t appreciate a clean yard to frolic in or the fact that you have it cut regularly, he just doesn’t value the yard the same way you do.

Is it really necessary to stop the behavior? If the answer is yes, here are some things you can do to curb your dog’s desire to dig.

Primarily, exercise is key. Dogs need about 30 minutes of exercise 6 to 7 days a week. Take your dog on walks, jogs, or runs. Take your dog swimming. Find an activity that you and your dog can enjoy together and let her exercise to her heart’s content.

Second, never allow your dog to be alone in your yard. If it is important to stop the digging behavior, you must absolutely keep a watchful eye on your dog for signs of digging. When you first observe it, that’s when you must quickly redirect your dog to some other acceptable activity.

Another option available to you is one of compromise. It’s understandable that you don’t want your yard to be “ruined” after you paid handsomely for it. Couldn’t you designate an area of your yard as a digging-zone? It is almost like providing a sandbox for your children. In fact, you might be interested in doing some research on dogscaping, a relatively new way at sculpting your yard with your dog’s needs in mind.
