Furminator Yellow Dog

I reall yneed this question answered about my shih tzu,plzzz help!?!?!?

i jus got a baby shih tzu from this breeder,i noticed that she had yellow stains on her tail and feet and a little on her back. I washed her and everything and the stains have not come out,can anyone tell me how i can get these satins out?? i looked up a brush called the FURminator but it looks like it just helps dogs that shed,can i possibly help get the yellow out of her fur??
she is all white,brown ears

Sounds like you bought from a backyard breeder who left the dogs standing in their own excrement.

I'd turn this 'breeder' in to the ASPCA and Humane Society.

As for the fur, you will simply have to wash it frequently (but just the affected area, too much washing will disrupt the pH of your dog's skin and coat) until the stains recede.

Good luck with your new puppy!

Are Black Men Really At More Risk From Prostate Cancer Than White Men?

A quick glance at any of the literature will tell you that black men are more likely to die from prostate cancer than white men and most of the statistics agree that the risk for African-Americans over two and a half times that of white Americans. But are these statistics misleading?

It is known that there are differences in disease rates between different countries and that, for example, America has the highest rate of obesity of any country and Japan the lowest. ButThis has very little to do with the passport or hold the color of your skin and a lot to do with your diet. So why is it that African Americans and white Americans differ so much when it comes to prostate cancer deaths, since they are both members of a common society?

Well, the answer can only lie in a study conducted recently, a mixed race group of 337 men aged between 40 and 75 from North Carolina, from 2001 to 2004 diagnosed with prostate cancerCancer.

The study identified a number of factors including family history, screening, symptoms, treatment, the presence of other medical problems, access to medical care, the men's relationships with their doctors, their attitudes towards health and health care providers, was employment, income and whether the men had health insurance.

The study showed that earned more than half of black men under $ 40,000 a yearcompared to less than one quarter of the white men who fell in this income group. The study also found that black men are more likely to blue-collar jobs have to be trained to a lower level in order to have additional medical conditions and are unemployed as a result of illness or disability.

The study also found that only three percent of white men had no health insurance, as compared to eight percent of all black men and one third of white mensome form of supplemental Medicare coverage, compared with seventeen percent of all black men.

Perhaps most interesting in the study reported that both black and white men were equally well informed about the risks arising from prostate cancer and the need for treatment, but showed the black men, a greater sense of responsibility for their own health and were less likely, to trust their doctors. In fact, many of their doctors were suspicious and feltthat their decisions more on the cost of treatment, rather than done on the patient's needs.

On the important issue of screening for prostate cancer, black men were less likely to have regular check-ups, digital rectal examination or PSA blood tests.

Putting all data together, it became clear that there was a significant difference between the two groups in the lack of early detection in the case of black menResult in no small part from the fact that they are not as well-established relationships with their physicians, had poor access to affordable and convenient care and lacked the necessary insurance.

So what does this mean in terms of statistical difference when it comes to prostate cancer mortality between African Americans and white Americans? Well, even though it is difficult to quantify, numbers on this study and further studies would be necessary to make sure, it seemsmakes much of the difference was not due to the fact that black men are more likely to contract prostate cancer cause, but simply from the fact that they are more likely to die from prostate cancer due to late detection.

Guidelines for Safe Handling of Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are thin, dome shaped discs made of complex plastic material positioned on the cornea to focus images on the retina. Contact lenses are a safe, convenient, comfortable and affordable alternative to spectacles. There are basically two types of lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses (RGP) and soft lenses.

RGP lenses are semi- rigid lenses made from a plastic that allows oxygen through the eye and are the best, clinically. They are also easy to take care of, durable and give a clear vision. They are useful to all types of vision correction like astigmation, bifocals, and post surgery and cosmetic for all groups of age.

Soft lenses: Soft lenses made from water absorbing plastics, are flexible and membrane like for maximum comfort. Since they do not displace easily from the eyes, they are ideal for sports.

Silicon based soft lenses allow maximum oxygen to the cornea and therefore they can be safely worn for a month continuously. Soft lenses can correct all types of refractive errors. They are available for Toric (to correct astigmation), bifocal, weekly disposable, extended wear and cosmetic purposes.

Toric lenses: Toric lenses are made from the same material as regular contact lenses, the difference being in the design of the lenses. Toric lenses have two powers of curvatures at different angles, one for astigmation and the other for myopia or hyperopia. Toric contact lenses have a mechanism to keep the lens stable on the eyes even while blinking. The cost of the Toric lenses is more than the spherical lenses and fitting expenses are also more.

Disposable lenses are replaced every two weeks or sooner and are designed to be worn and then replaced with a new pair of lenses. Disposable contact lenses are favored because of their health and convenience benefits.

Daily disposables or one-day disposables are contact lenses that are discarded every night and replaced in the morning with a new pair. This option is the best because there is no lens cleaning and since there are no lens deposit build up there are no eye problems.

Extended wear lenses are approved to be worn without removal up to seven days .A "super permeable" lens material “silicone hydro gel" is approved up to 30 days of wear without removal. This is also known as continuous wear.

It is important to follow certain guidelines for safe handling of soft contact lenses:

Moisturizing soaps are not good for contact lenses and the hands should be dry before handling them.

One lens should be removed and cleaned with the recommended solution and the lens should be rubbed in the palm of the hand with a few drops of solution and the process should be repeated for the second lens.

Rinsing is an important step to remove the loosened debris.

Place the lenses in the lens holder filled with fresh water solution because disinfecting kills microorganisms in the lenses.

Avoid tap water on the contact lenses and accessories because it may cause serious eye infections.

Never touch the solution bottle tips as it can become contaminated.

I am trying to install a PCI video card, and neither one of them seem to fit?

Is this possible? I am really getting angry, I dont understand how this is possible. That neither one of these cards would work. I just maybe need an expert opinion. The first one really doesn't line up and is a really tight fight and starts to bend, the second one lines up better, but cannot get the last part to go down in the slot. Maybe you could help. If you need any more info feel free to contact me, or post in your answer, and I will add more details.
It says PCI Express is the same thing as PCI? The PC is fairly new. Well all I know is they don't fit, so whatever reason I'm not sure of

Well first off, if it takes more than a firm push to get it in the slot, something is wrong.

Secondly, are you using the right card?

PCI is not the same thing as PCI-X, and there are only a handful of PCI video cards still made.

The Dancing Doberman Disease Syndrome

Dancing Doberman disease (DDD or Distal Polyneuropathy) - also known as Dancing Doberman Syndrome - is a disease only seen in Doberman dogs, primarily affects their gastrocnemius muscle. A simple description of DDD is one of a progressive disease, usually first involving the holding up of one rear leg while the dog is standing. Over several months the condition advances with a wasting of the rear leg muscles and a more constant shifting of weight on the rear legs that resembles a dog "dancing". Frequently these dogs will knuckle over with their rear paws and ultimately prefer to sit or lie down rather than stand. No known cause of this disease and the presumption that genetics must play a role in this syndrome.  The disease is similar to hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies in humans. In some cases, there is a sensation of burning soles or discomfort with pressure on the feet. A similar sensation might cause constant lifting of the feet in dogs with Dancing Doberman Disease.

Dancing Doberman Disease symptoms normally appear when the dog is 6-7 months old, but the age of onset can vary from just 4 months to up to 10 years. Both males and females are affected. Most affected dogs have normal findings on other tests, including blood counts, biochemistry, x-ray, and thyroid function. When the dog is standing, one of its rear legs will suddenly flex. Over the course of the following months, the problem will usually start affecting the other hind leg as well. A dog with Dancing Doberman Disease can end up alternatively flexing and extending each rear leg and this behaviour is the reason behind the name of this health problem. Many dogs will start knuckling over their rear paws and some dogs will eventually avoid standing all together; they will prefer to lie or sit. They can however still be perfectly capable of running around. There is no signs of pain associated with Dancing Doberman Disease.  

Dancing Doberman Disease can mimic many other conditions such as lumbosacral disc disease, cervical vertebral instability (CVI), inflammation of the spinal cord, spinal arthritis, cauda equina syndrome, some nervous system maladies, and spinal tumors. Hyperactive tendon and muscle reflexes with gastrocnemius muscle atrophy are early clinical signs, followed by more extensive pelvic limb muscle atrophy as the disease progresses. Proprioceptive deficits are seen occasionally. It is likely the condition is more prevalent than previously recognized because there is a general lack of awareness on the part of veterinarians and breeders, and therefore, the condition is often overlooked as a diagnosis. On different diagnosis, lumbosacral stenosis, intervertebral disc disease, and discospondylitis of the lower lumbar spine are usually painful. Also neoplasia of the lumbar spinal cord or nerve roots progresses more rapidly and can be painful.

At the moment, there is no know cure or treatment for Dancing Doberman Disease. On the positive side, most dogs with DDD live to be as old as any other Doberman and the condition appears to be completely painless for the dog. A majority of the affected dogs can still walk. Dancing Doberman Disease is however a progressing disease that will cause increasingly weak legs and muscle atrophy.

7 Practical Travel Gizmos for your Next Car Excursion

Travel by vehicle poses distinctive problems that you can solve with a little advance groundwork and a few practical gadgets. This article describes several of these gadgets. A search that you can use to locate each item on the Net follows its description.

1. Universal USB Car Charger

Electronic wonders like iPods and MP3 players make it easy to enjoy music and watch videos. However, many devices require recharging via computer USB ports. How can you accomplish this when you are stuck in a vehicle?

A universal USB car charger solves the dilemma. The most versatile of these chargers will plug into AC current as well as a vehicle's power point or cigarette lighter. Use your device's USB cable to connect to the charger's pseudo-USB port, and it will recharge without a computer.

Keywords for searching: USB car charger adapter

If you would like to construct your own adapter, you can splice together a 5-volt car charger and a USB female plug. Many websites publish complete instructions.

Keywords for searching: how to make USB car charger

2. Mobile Rechargeable Battery Charger

You may own a GPS, digital camera, or PIM that uses rechargeable batteries instead of alkalines. Rechargeables are a great environmental alternative - until they run down in the middle of a road trip. Fortunately, there are car chargers available. Carry one in your glove box.

Keywords for searching: vehicle charger rechargeable batteries

3. Solar-Powered Rechargeable Battery Charger

You can use a solar-powered system to recharge your batteries if the sun is shining. The best of these systems will also work with your vehicle's cigarette lighter as well as household current. If you do your research well, you may even locate one with special adapters for your PDA or cell phone.

Keywords for searching: solar powered battery charger

4. Portable Water Heater

Many automotive and travel shops sell small water heaters that look like household kettles. These plug into your car's power point, enabling you to enjoy coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or soup - anytime - anywhere.

Keywords for searching: portable kettle car

If you have an infant who requires a warm bottle at feeding time, try to find an immersible heater. These devices have a small heating coil that you can immerse in any liquid. Heat a bit of water in an appropriate container, and then leave the baby bottle in the water until it reaches the proper temperature.

Keywords for searching: portable car immersion beverage heater

5. Portable Hand-Held UV Water Purifier

Tainted drinking water can quickly cause a case of the trots - also known as 'travelers' diarrhea' or 'Montezuma's revenge'. The answer? Purchase a portable pen-sized ultraviolet water purifier. UV light effectively kills bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. These sterilizers are so tiny that you can carry them practically anywhere - stowed in the glove compartment, in a purse or shirt pocket, or in the baby's diaper bag.

Keywords for searching: portable hand-held UV water purifier

6. Multi-Tool

Many different types of multi-tools are available - with combinations of tools that might include nail clippers, screwdrivers, penknives, pliers, scissors, can openers, corkscrews, and other handy gizmos. Hunt around in the stores or online until you find one that contains everything you might need for your next road trip.

Keywords for searching: multi tool camping travel

7. Repair Kit for Eyeglasses

Don't pass over this tip just because you have perfect vision. Whenever you go outside, you should don a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes. Eliminate the nuisance of loose hinge screws or a missing nose pad with a speedy field repair. Eyeglass repair kits are cheap and small. You can find them in most pharmacies, department stores, and grocery outlets. If necessary, try the Internet search below.

Keywords for searching: repair kit for eyeglasses

These are just some of the devices that can make your holiday more enjoyable. Whenever you travel, make a note of any little glitches you encounter. After you return home, get on the Net and look for a solution. If you can't find anything, maybe you should develop a new invention and become the next Dean Kamen!

How long should my Old English Sheepdog bleed during her heat cycle?

I have a 10 month old Old English Sheepdog. She started bleeding 9 days ago. We bought her a doggie diaper and have been placing sanitary pads in it. She is going through 4 pads a day and they are pretty saturated. She is still bleeding and not showing signs of slowing down. I left the diaper off this morning and she was dripping blood drops on the tile floor. When should I start to worry that something maybe wrong? First female I have owned.

Heat $12.98 With his sleek look, hip, edgy "now" attitude, and charm and charisma to burn, Michael Lington has helped define the 2000s contemporary urban jazz experience. Fresh off the success of A Song for You, his critically acclaimed 2006 collection of '70s pop covers featuring lush arrangements and a full orchestra, the Copenhagen native -- who became an official citizen of the U.S. on March 21, 2008, 18 years after emigrating from Denmark -- gets back to his sensual funk roots, turning up the Heat big time on his highly anticipated Nu Groove debut. Beyond his trademark mix of cool and explosive instrumentals, the Copenhagen native is crossing over into the mainstream pop/adult contemporary realm with two key vocal collaborations: "That's When You Save Me," an original track penned by hot young songwriter Claude Kelly (Leona Lewis) that the saxman performs with soul legend Aaron Neville, and a rock-edged twist on Gerry Rafferty's classic "Baker Street" with former American Idol finalist (and Grammy nominated songwriter) Ace Young. Lington co-produced seven of the tracks with legendary session keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, and three other cuts are helmed by Keith Olsen, who's vibed with everyone from Pat Benatar and Whitesnake to Fleetwood Mac. Lington wrote the high energy "Shout About Ya" with the Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated team of Allan Rich and Jud Friedman, and penned three songs with hitmakers Michael and Danny Sembello: the uptempo and summery (think: fun in the sun in South Beach) "Ocean Drive," the beautiful ballad "Nostalgia," and the breezy, Brazilian flavored "Chuva," which means "rain" in Portuguese. Interesting aside: Michael Sembello travels to Brazil all the time and is good friends with the grandson of legendary composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. The composition of "Chuva" began on the vintage piano where the elder Jobim composed his classic "The Girl from Ipanema." "Chuva" features an authentic Rio touch by popular guitarist Torcuato Mariano, who was born in Buenos Aires but raised in Brazil. Lington also gives exposure to two up and coming female vocalists, U.K. born Keely Hawkes (whose voice graces "Shout About Ya") and Nashville based Janey Clewer. Lington echoed the dead-on sentiment about the cool, fresh, and freewheeling approach to his new recording (easily one of the best genre albums of 2008) when he said, "I feel like I've let loose like never before, almost as if I was onstage doing a show when I was recording in the studio." It's a definite upswing after his low-key trip down memory lane on A Song for You. ~ Jonathan Widran, RoviPerformers: Stephen Lu - Moog Synthesizer, Synthesizer; Steve Lu - Moog Synthesizer, Synthesizer;
