Doggie Treat Recipes

Anise Flavored Liver Treats

My recipe has been known to turn grown dogs into pups again! The secret
is to boil it first - apologize to your neighbours in advance - in a fair
bit of water (2 litres or 4 pints or more for two whole livers) with two
teaspoons of aniseed powder. It makes all the difference. I don't know
the exact temp for the oven, because I use a food dryer, but about like
you would use for keeping food or plates warm (very low). Leave it in until
it is able to be snapped apart like a cookie.
Home-Made Freeze-Dried Liver

You can boil real liver on the stove or nuke it, wash it off and dry it,
then toss it all in a frost-free freezer, and in a month or so, you'll
have home-made freeze-dried liver, practically free. I toss a new
batch in once a month or so and always have a new "crop" ready. I
use the liver sparingly in training and usually at shows and important
events for that added oomph.

- Liver Treats
  
  I use beef liver, cut into half inch slices. Add slices to boiling
  water and after full boil begins again, boil for 5 minutes. At this time
  I have also added either garlic or soup stock (usually chicken) to the
  water so it is ''flavored''. After the first 5 minutes of boiling
  I remove the strips and put them on paper towels and let them air dry for
  about 10 minutes. Then I place them on a cookie sheet with sides..put
  them into the oven for about an hour at 200 degrees . Depending on
  your oven (I have a convected oven that passes warmed air over the food)
  you leave them in there until they become dry and semi hard. Meantime
  I have added more liver to the boiling water for the second batch.
  I keep doing this (adding water as needed) until I have made enough treats
  to last a month or more. Keep on rotating to paper towels, then oven.
  When the strips are semi soft, then rub them between two paper towels to
  remove any seasonings attached from the water. Now slice them up
  to the bits size you want. Put back into the oven until they are
  dry and stiff to touch. After they have cooled, I put enough in an
  aluminum foil or plastic baggie for a ''session''. I then put all
  the sealed (with twist tie or just crinkled up foil) bags into a regular
  brown box, toss them into the freezer and they are ready and waiting. I
  have also found out that when they are first taken out, it is a good idea
  to ''whack'' the baggie on the counter so the pieces separate and then
  let them dry out on the counter on top of a napkin or paper towel.
  This way they stay dry and are not messy. In a rush...(is there ever
  enough thought time to do everything just when it needs doing?), I have
  nuked the pieces after spreading out on a paper towel just before a show.
  It makes them a little more rubbery and softer but not so messy that they
  can't be in a pocket or bait bag.
- 2) I buy thin sliced calves liver (the thinner, the better!) at the
  market for about $1 per pound. Boil it in a large skillet for about 5 minutes,
  or until there is no more blood coming from it. Then, take the liver out
  of the water and spread the cooked pieces on a flat baking sheet. Bake
  this in the oven at 250 degrees for 2-3 hours. This produces a liver jerky
  type treat. The longer you bake it, the tougher it becomes, so if you want
  to pocket it, I'd bake until it is good and dried out. Added bonus - I
  take the boiled water and add it to the dogs food that evening!
- Oven-Dried Liver
  
  I buy ox liver because its the cheapest and also easier to handle. I cut
  it into strips roughly half inch x quarter inch and as long as you like,
  then place on a wire mesh tray (I use the wire from the bottom of the toaster),
  then place in the oven on slow cook or as the lowest possible setting and
  let it cook/dry out for five or six hour or untill it appears dry. I leave
  it out overnight or for a couple of days to dry further, then place in
  a container. It does not need to be refrigerated -- I put some in my walking
  coat pocket and keep it there for weeks. The dogs love it -- it's crunchy
  and they keep coming back for more.
- Salmon Cookies
  
  In memory of Cosette
  · 15oz can of Salmon or Jack Mackerel
  
  · some flour
  
  · 2 teasp of salt
  
  · 1 teasp of baking powder
  
  · Optional: add sprinkle of garlic powder if desired
  Mix together fish, plus ALL liquid from can, salt & baking powder,
  add enough flour for texture
  
  Spread out on cookie sheet
  
  Score into sections (easier to break apart when done)
  
  Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 mins. or crust is golden
  Store in container in frig or freezer for longer periods of time

members are still captive to the discredited paradigms of finance I have mentioned. Until trustees and shareowners change incentives for their asset managers and consultants, they will still obsess over benchmarking each others’ performance according to these now destructive criteria and models. Financial networks are complex, adaptive systems, but reliance on this approach serves little more than to comfortably abstract the debate.
trading for trading’s sake has become pathological, an addiction similar to gambling
9 more annotations...
- Addiction to trading and internet-use are now studied by psychologists as is the elevated testosterone levels exhibited by traders in London’s financial markets. Thus, one cannot expect any human actors embedded in today’s financial networks to think more deeply about their purpose, social utility or the systemic risk that finance now clearly poses to all societies and to ecosystems. At what point did financial markets metastasize to become a cancer on their host: human societies? To ask individual traders or companies would be analogous to expecting the patients and psychiatrists in a mental hospital to design a more optimal system to address dysfunctional aspects.
- Even less charitable criticism comes from Prof. Simon Johnson at MIT, former chief economist of the IMF who comments on Wall Street’s capture of politicians of both parties in the US Congress as “mind control”
- financial networks must be examined from these perspectives and we see their design flaws immediately: they were designed by individual actors and firms to maximize their self-interest and produce rewards in money terms. They were never designed to optimize at the societal level, let alone to function within natural system constraints. Furthermore, they optimized for trading as the primary means to money rewards (hence the growth of proprietary trading desks, day traders, high frequency trading and algorithmic program trading which now dominates market activity).
- Here, again, money-creation and credit-allocation follow power laws and are designed by sub-system level actors and institutions (banks, central banks, local and national government agencies). Their design criteria are fitted to highly abstract goals: containing or targeting inflation, increasing or decreasing the money supply, NAIRU formulas for unemployment levels, fostering private investment – all vague generalities and measured with dubious statistics
- The movement toward planetary awareness is now worldwide
- All our crises are closely related to the dying fossilized paradigm of “economism” and its deadly addiction to continuous economic growth measured in money, whatever the social and environmental costs.
- But instead of backing enforcement of carbon caps and shifting tax burdens from incomes and payrolls to taxes on carbon and all other pollution and waste, the US “market fundamentalists” demanded that “allowances” to continue emitting carbon be given to polluters to trade with each other.
- Economic methods usually favor quantifying costs to incumbent sectors and existing institutions, rather than estimating savings, benefits and revenues from new ways of doing business, new technologies and social policies. For example, the climate debate focuses on GDP growth “losses.” Critiques of GDP-measured growth, including my own over the past 30 years, are finally gaining traction
- Yet the financial sector still dominates US politics: bailing out Wall Street firms was deemed necessary to “restore” the financial system. Investing in growing the green economy, our children’s health and education for a prosperous future are deemed “too expensive,” even as a BBC-Globescan poll in 20 countries found 72% of their public’s support governments investing in renewable energy and green technology.

How to Save the World

No one is in control. Obama isn't getting anything done, despite being the most powerful person on the planet, because he can't. The 'leaders' aren't going to deal with climate change or peak oil or pandemic disease or unsustainable debts, because no one has the power or authority to do anything, and because it would be political suicide to admit that the only solutions that might work will be radical, painful, and require a lot of sacrifice from everyone. So all you get is posturing, and it's just going to get worse.

This is what unsustainable means.

blogs.salon.com/...21.html - Preview

The so-called 'leaders' and 'experts' I've met are mostly very
intelligent people, but they haven't a clue. They're buoyed by their
own press and by sycophants fighting their way up from the
bottom or desperate to believe that someone
is in charge, in control, and knows what needs to be done. These
'leaders' hang out with other people just like themselves, and their
groupthink persuades them that they're right, they're important, that
what they say and do and decide really matters.
The people at the top generally have no more
real impact, and no more useful knowledge with which to make decisions,
than the people at the bottom. The 'leaders' are responsible neither
for the organization's successes, nor its failures -- a few people just
don't make that much difference, except when they make some hugely
expensive, incompetent decision or rip the company off so it goes
bankrupt.
2 more annotations...
- Economists, financial 'experts', psychologists, consultants, pundits,
  celebrities, policy wonks, advisors, barons of industry, doctors --
  none of these people really know what they're doing. They want you to believe
  they know what they're doing, so that they can justify what they're
  taking out of the system in salaries, bonuses, perks, commissions and
  fees. But they're making it up as they go along. They have come to
  expect bailouts when they fail financially, and indemnity from
  prosecution when they screw up, or get caught breaking the law. And
  they get away with it.
- No
  one is in control. Obama
  isn't getting anything done, despite being the most powerful person on
  the planet, because he can't.

Street Luv « Fugitivus

fugitivus.wordpress.com/street-luv - Preview

What I am looking for is respectful, happy encounters between a person a couple clicks up on the kyriarchy and somebody a couple clicks down.
The stories do not have to end with a relationship. They only have to end with good feelings instead of bad ones.

Street Luv « Fugitivus

fugitivus.wordpress.com/...street-luv - Preview

Our concepts of masculinity and manhood also require that concepts like masculinity and manhood exist. I know that sounds patently obvious. But the idea is, “man” can’t exist as a discrete concept unless “woman” exists as a discrete concept. “Masculine” can’t exist unless “feminine” exists. So the two concepts must necessarily be in opposition to each other; one is what the other is not, one is not what the other is.

So men are tasked with this impossible, crazy-making requirement: to be a man, you must acquire relationships with women, but you must not identify with them, or even like them all that much. You are not a man until you can get a woman to pay attention to you, but you can’t acquire that attention by being interested in anything that she is interested in. You must first treat women like aliens, to prove you are not one, and then you must find a way to make them enjoy that treatment.
7 more annotations...
- This is going to be the list of Street Luv. This is going to be a list of ways men can approach women that are not uncomfortable, dismissive, humiliating, condescending, privileged, ignorant, or generally sexist bad sauce.
- I guess what makes it really bad is that I could take one of the stories from your list, act out one of the opening lines on someone, and get at least 3 possible reactions depending entirely on whether my victim had been harassed yet that day: 1) good conversation/enhancement of her day, 2) polite response but clear disinterest, or 3) I could creep her out and ruin her day, and *I might not even know* because of her training to act like a nice girl.
- You may be out with your mates when one of them harasses a woman. You can call them on it and tell them to stop. I know that “it’s really hard for friends to accuse other friends to acting badly”. But that’s what it takes to be an ally. The system is designed so that you can ignore it in comfort – being an ally means not ignoring it and stepping out of your comfort zone.
- Just because I sometimes want to talk to men, doesn’t mean I’m available for all men’s pleasure at any time, and unfortunately it doesn’t mean I won’t get harassed when I’m not in the mood for talking.
- I totally get how you feel like you’re being unfairly judged. How it feels gross to be generalized, instead of treated like an individual person. How it just feels humiliating and angering and disgusting to be treated like you have done something wrong simply based on your existence.
- This is where the privilege comes in. You can reasonably find a place in society to express your anger at being generalized with poor characteristics, and you can be reasonably sure that place will not be intruded upon by women demanding you consider their feelings, and telling you that you are way more unfair than they are.
  
  I can’t. ‘Cause, uh, you’re here. Hey.
- Nobody should have to feel the way you feel now, or the way I feel when I get sexually harassed. But the answer isn’t to tell women they aren’t allowed to make judgments based on their safety and experience of the world. The answer is to change their experience of the world.

Pam - we want street lights! | Dadamac

What does this have to do with climate change and sustainable futures? Well I have the privilege of close connections with rural Africa, and many friends who are struggling to improve the situations of their impoverished communities. They want "What I have got" - but "What I have got" is not sustainable. Much of it is not even sensible - such as the way our water system works. We have to filter water to make it fit for drinking - but then much of it goes straight down the toilet. Crazy!

If we started now surely we'd do things differently. But it's hard to put things right when you have already got things working okay in the wrong way. If you haven't even started yet then it is different. You can get it right - from the very beginning.

Theatre via your PC – will it work? - Telegraph

So I welcome the arrival of Digital Theatre, which is offering downloads of theatre productions that can be watched on your computer, or with the help of a few gizmos, on your widescreen television.

Looking at the trailers on the new site, it appears that the company, which has the experienced stage director Robert Delamere among its founders, has found a way of cracking the perilous transfer of stage show to screen. They record at live performances and use a large number of cameras to get different angles on the action, ranging from long-shots to close-ups. The theatrical nature of the event is captured, but it doesn’t seem excessively stagy, or visually flat, as is so often the case with filmed stage productions.

Privilege

Privilege I’m bequeathing with a capital P, on the other hand, is a very specific concept originally deployed by folks working in academia, law, and social justice, and refers to the Privileges which members of non-oppressed or majority groups have, and which members of oppressed or minority groups do not. For context, one example might be the reality that a person who is born White in the US has certain built-in advantages over a person who is born Black. A White person convicted of murder is statistically less likely to receive the death penalty, for example, than a Black person. This doesn’t imply that the White person’s life is automatically all wine and roses, as is often assumed by many people new to the Privilege idea, but that owing to institutionalized systems of racism and oppression, the White person simply will not have to deal with some of the obstacles and injustices that are posed to the Black person. Nor is this meant to suggest that the White person is individually responsible (or “guilty”) for his or her Privilege, any more than anyone can control the circumstances of their birth.

Shakesville: Rape Culture 101

Rape culture is the way in which the constant threat of sexual assault affects women's daily movements. Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye contact, if you're alone, if you're with a stranger, if you're in a group, if you're in a group of strangers, if it's dark, if the area is unfamiliar, if you're carrying something, how you carry it, what kind of shoes you're wearing in case you have to run, what kind of purse you carry, what jewelry you wear, what time it is, what street it is, what environment it is, how many people you sleep with, what kind of people you sleep with, who your friends are, to whom you give your number, who's around when the delivery guy comes, to get an apartment where you can see who's at the door before they can see you, to check before you open the door to the delivery guy, to own a dog or a dog-sound-making machine, to get a roommate, to take self-defense, to always be alert always pay attention always watch your back always be aware of your surroundings and never let your guard down for a moment lest you be sexually assaulted and if you are and didn't follow all the rules it's your fault.

Rape culture is treating rape as a compliment, as the unbridled passion stirred in a healthy man by a beautiful woman, making irresistible the urge to rip open her bodice or slam her against a wall, or a wrought-iron fence, or a car hood, or pull her by her hair, or shove her onto a bed, or any one of a million other images of fight-fucking in movies and television shows and on the covers of romance novels that convey violent urges are inextricably linked with (straight) sexuality.
Rape culture is ignoring the cavernous need for men's prison reform in part because the threat of being raped in prison is considered an acceptable deterrent to committing crime, and the threat only works if actual men are actually being raped.

- Rape culture is victim-blaming. Rape culture is a judge blaming a child for her own rape. Rape culture is a minister blaming his child victims. Rape culture is accusing a child of enjoying being held hostage, raped, and tortured. Rape culture is spending enormous amounts of time finding any reason at all that a victim can be blamed for hir own rape.
- Rape culture is admonishing women to "learn common sense" or "be more responsible" or "be aware of barroom risks" or "avoid these places" or "don't dress this way," and failing to admonish men to not rape.
- Rape culture is refusing to acknowledge that the only thing that the victim of every rapist shares in common is bad fucking luck. Rape culture is refusing to acknowledge that the only thing a person can do to avoid being raped is never be in the same room as a rapist. Rape culture is avoiding talking about what an absurdly unreasonable expectation that is, since rapists don't announce themselves or wear signs or glow purple.
- Rape culture is a ruling that says women cannot withdraw consent once sex commences.
- The "normal" rapist (whose crime is most likely to be dismissed with a "boys will be boys" sort of jocular apologia) is the man who forces himself on attractive women, women his age in fine health and form, whose crime is disturbingly understandable to his male defenders
- Rape culture is hospitals that won't do rape kits, disbelieving law enforcement, unmotivated prosecutors, hostile judges, victim-blaming juries, and paltry sentencing.
- Rape culture is the fact that higher incidents of rape tend to correlate with lower conviction rates.
- Rape culture is people objecting to the detritus of the rape culture being called oversensitive, rather than people who perpetuate the rape culture being regarded as not sensitive enough.
