The Globe's Most Risky Dogs

I imagine that there should be a piece on Animal Planet, the History Channel, et al, that needs a new angle: perhaps to uncover the world's most astounding, vicious and dangerous dogs. After all they've covered everything else and they're probably running out of material. I know it could be as I would depict it. ..The most dangerous dogs in the world. The show begins ...

...Our attention must focus on the world's most dangerous dogs. We will rank the danger dogs starting with the number 10 on the Dog Danger Scale.

10. The Sub Toy Chihuahua. Our experts consider it to be one of the most dangerous dogs in the world partially because of its extremely minute size. A Toy Chihuahua attains an average height of 102 millimeters. When they bark as all Chihuahuas do, the pitch oftheir tiny barks is high enough to crack car windshields making the hapless hack driver unable to see oncoming traffic ... often resulting in fatal accidents. For the reason that the deaths are almost always unintentional, we rate the Toy Chihuahua at number 10, yet still one of the World's Most Dangerous Dogs.

9. The number 9 position is held by the Pug. Often referred to as the Chinese Pug because of its prominence in Chinese History. In the past, many of the Chinese emperors had them as lap dogs; however, there is a darker side to the Pug. They were initially as attack dogs aquamaps data sources: GBIF to keep out the barbarians from entering to the Chinese side of the Great Wall. However, when placed in the roles of high stress, i.e., guarding, attack, etc., the Pug ran and hid in nearby streams. Regardless,they were by the Chinese aquamaps data sources: GBIF primarily as attack dogs because that's all that they had at the time. In fact, the only way to pug would ever attack an armed barbarian was only in the unlikely event he had a piece of beef attached to his sleeve or shield. However, because the Pug was used historically as an attack dog despite, their battlefield "incompetence, we have to rate them Number 9 in the Danger Dog stairs.

8. In the 8th Position is the Romanian Hockey Hound. So named because during the communist era in Romania, under a plan masterminded by Nicolae Ceausescu, the former megalomaniac leaders, Romanian hockey coaches would train these usually docile dogs to attack any member of an opposing team that was hitting the puck. It was believed that the Hungarians had brain washed theirdogs using a form of Veterinary Transference Psychology (VTP) into believing that a hockey puck was their master. As soon As the opposing team hit a puck, the dog was placed on the ice with specially fitted skates and would immediately attack the opposing team. This so spooked their competition that Hungary's team typically placed at least in the top 5 in the Olympics. Because this type of dog is not normally a menace to Hungarian society, but only aggressive when placed on the ice, we have to give the Number 8 ranking to the Romanian Hockey Hound.

7. Number 7 on the Danger Dog Stairs is the Ukrainian Saint Bernard dog. Traditionally, Saint Bernards are known for saving "downed skiers with a little bit of brandy and the ability to drag almost anything, including a Bus down to NY Citymountain side. However, the Ukrainian breed has a very checkered past. They invariably find skiers and always attempt to rescue them, but because of their incredible clumsiness, the Ukrainian breed usually winds up causing an avalanche resulting in the death or maiming of the stricken skier. Because Ukraine has so few sizable mountains, and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant meltdown has kept the mountain passes at a pleasant 73 Fahrenheit year round, the death toll is only a fraction of what it would be if these same dogs worked the Alps. When asked why they keep on using the Ukrainian Breed instead of the more sure footed Western European varieties, the Ukrainian Ski Patrol always answers this way, "Well ... they're cheap!" accompanied with a shrug of their shoulders. For this reason andfor the many deaths caused by this dog unwittingly, we place the Ukrainian Saint Bernard at the Number 7 ranking.

6. Number 6 on the Dog Danger Scale is held by the Mini Schnauzer. While the miniature variety is completely non-aggressive, they do have a dangerous side to them. When they meet a new person, they become so excited and joyful that they dance around crazily and almost always urinate on the ground. This is normally not a problem, but when indoors, they will typically only mess on tile floors or any other slippery surface. When the dog jumps around spreading its little puddle, it renders the floor dangerously slippery. There have been almost 1.100 October attributed to the mini schnauzer. Despite its sunny disposition, for this reason, the friendly little mini schnauzertakes the number 6 Spot on the Dog Danger Scale.

5. The number 5 spot is occupied by the "Trick" Rapscallion Hound. It gets its name not by performing cute little tricks like rolling over or shaking your hand or other friendly antics. Rather, the Rapscallion Hound hails from the Island of Crete where the original inhabitants, who were mostly gypsies, cross bred to Turkish Elkhound with a Pomeranian and developed this strange breed of dog. While very intelligent, stealth little Rapscallions are dogs that tend toward being ... just plain sneaky. The Gypsies used them as decoys in large cities and often would pose with a dagger in their hand in a threatening posture as if to kill the dog. Passersbys might see this ' cute ' dog about to be killed and immediately come to its aid. The gypsywould then turn the knife on the hapless hack savior and rob him or her on the spot, with the dog being totally complicit in the crime. This behavior has, of course reached the 21st century with the dog owner now using a. 357 magnum or other powerful handgun. (See illustration) While there have been no known October resulting from this type of crime, the fact that the dog works closely and knowingly with his criminal master is enough to place the Rapscallion at the Number 5 place on the Dog Danger Scale.

4. The Four Spot belongs to the Plains Beagle. The Plains Beagle is very similar in appearance to the standard Beagle a'la the comic strip "Peanuts", however, that is the only similarity. The Plains Beagle was originally the lap dog of the Norse Invaders, then called the NorseImperial Beagle. During the 11the century, The Norse Men, under the leadership of Leif Erikson, purportedly made their way to North America and got as far west as what we now know as the Loop in Chicago area. When food supplies went low, The Norse exploration party attempted, out of desperation, to eat their prize beagles. Sensing danger, the beagles bolted and were lost in the green expanse of the mid west. Over hundreds of years, they formed small wolf-like pods and hunted down the wild mustang horses. When the Indians first saw the Plains Beagle, they mistook them for a friendly variety and attempted to house break (or more correctly, tent break them). It was the Chief Warrior of the Left Handed LaPrinze Indians that first cursed them after being viciously bitten on his right hand. It issaid today that the Plains the plains Beagle is to what the Piranha is to the Amazon. Legend has it that the Laprinz were almost completely decimated by the Plains Beagle, however this has not been completely substantiated by the western media outlets of the time. For their fierce reputation, they will take the Number Four Spot on the Dog Danger Scale.

3. The Number Three spot is held by the Micronesian Sea Lion Dog, a close relative, in appearance (only) to the Toy Manchurian Retriever. The Sea Lion Dog is a fierce predator not of ugly sea lions, but rather, seals. Micronesian Islanders wanted to maintain a vigorous tourism based on the idyllic island of Pohnpei and having wild dogs attack cute seals would definitely put a crimp on this area as a tourism destination. Therefore, theywere able to convince the world that this predatory dog only hunted ugly Sea Lions. However, it is obvious that Sea Lion Dogs attack seals as their major source of food. When seals are not available, one would think that the dogs would go after Sea Lions. Wrong! Their second favorite dish is SCUBA divers. Maybe it's the taste of the neoprene rubber of their wetsuits or the suntan oil they rub on their skin while waiting to go to a dive site. Whatever it is, when you're diving in the South Seas, beware. In 1947 Jacques Cousteau refused to dive in the water "referring to the menace of those" ... devil dogs! "as the reason he wouldn't dive when the dogs were within 30 miles. We don't know how many deaths can be attributed to the predations of the Micronesian Sea Lion Dog, but whatever thenumber, it is will make this vicious predator Number Three on the scale of the world's Danger Dogs.

2. The Hot Dog. While actually not a real dog, but sort of a near food, the Hot Dog probably has taken more lives than all of the wars put together over the history of the world. I was starting to run out of dogs and I thought that the hot dog concept would fit. Do you have any idea what goes into the making of a hot dog? The ingredients of the average hot dog is more toxic than model airplane glue or cobra venom. However, when blended together, fiendishly stuffed into a brown red colored tube, the hot dog, while it tastes pretty good, is a lethal weapon. It was said that Mao Tse Dung, the former dictator of red China, suggested that China should ship over 11 billion tons of hot dogsto the U.S., Britain and Canada as a way of destroying the western powers "... from the inside." Fortunately, the plan was never implemented. And so, we have to grant the lowly Hot Dog as the Number Two member on the Dog Danger scale.

1. We have to go back in time to on or about 730 A.D. to find the Number One Danger Dog of all Times. This brings us to that most infamous of all dogs on the Dog Danger scale. This would be the creature that Beowolf was really afraid of ...Grindel. This monster may or may not be related to the dog or canine family at all, but it's pretty sinister that BeoWulf was really afraid of Grindelwald. Besides Beowulf seems to have some tie in with dogs himself. Anyway, Grindelwald was a ferocious monster of some kind. The heroic Beowulf was able to use a concoctionsimilar to silly putty and wine to lure Grindel to a grassy knoll (historically a very dangerous place) and kill Grindel. However, let the reader by aware that prior to his death, Grindel killed nearly the entire populations of Iceland, Greenland and what we now know as Finland. He also ate most of the codfish, swordfish and sturgeon populations off the Irish coast North Atlantic.

If beef jerky were a fish swimming in those waters at that time, he would have eaten all of it. And if Beowulf hadn't stopped this creature, he probably would have killed all of the sailors in Western Europe, Asia and the Americas. The 8th Century world of Beowulf would be a much different place if this had occurred. And so we owe a debt of gratitude to Beowulf and hand over the Number One Spot on the DogDanger Scale to Grindelwald, the most dangerous (possibly a) dog.

This wraps it up for the most dangerous, deadly dogs of the world. Often when we see the friendly little puppy, we can easily forget that behind that dog charm and friendly affable demeanor could possibly lurk in dangerous and bloodthirsty killer, the Danger Dog. " Author's note: You dog may not be a dangerous dog, but he may smell and have fleas,,, ugh! The way around that is to go to the orange-dogs web site that will help you to take care of these problems.

Non selfish Giving

Think about this for a minute: why do you do a good deed? How does it make you feel for having done it-or even thinking about it? If you get that warm fuzzy self-satisfied feeling in your chest, you have done it for the wrong reason. That feeling is your indication that you have done the Good to make yourself feel better about yourself, not to truly help someone. Only when you can give without that feeling is really giving it. Only when there are no strings attached, no expectations of some kind of return, or no attachment to the outcome, is the deed done unselfishly.

When we see a need, such as warm clothing or food for the homeless in winter to give anonymously and fade into the crowd is far better than to make a big deal about it. Of course, to give someone somethingneeds and see the gratitude in their eyes is fine as long as you look into their eyes with love and acceptance. Let them know that they are only suffering a temporary setback and they are still seen as worthwhile people. Most people don't have that experience though-they stand around waiting for profuse thanks and try to avoid seeing the deep need in the eyes of the recipient of their gift.

Those who give to shelters might understand this better, especially if they just drop off bags of clothing or food, without waiting for some kind of gratitude to be shown. One can even enjoy the giving more if using one's talents. Those who are expert bargain shoppers can put that skill to work by asking the local battered woman's shelter what items are needed and then going out to find them. Bymaking the dollar stretch further, more items can be provided for whatever amount the bargain shopper can afford to give.

One such person, with time to kill between appointments of her job, liked to take the list of needed items to the bargain outlets. Whenever she had a few dollars to donate, she shopped the clearance racks for the items. Each week she was able to donate bags of clothing and toys for the moms and kids who had left home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. She never told the shelter workers what she was doing nor did she wait for the exclamations of astonishment and gratitude that were sure to follow.

The only reason anyone else ever knew of her contributions was when they asked her how they could help others more, given a small amount of cash. Ratherthan sending cash that would be mostly spent on administration costs, the people wanted their gifts to actually reach those in need. Bargain shoppers loved the idea of giving more direct help by doing what they love to do. The woman suggested they remove the outlet tags but leave the original tags, so the recipients would feel the love and care of the givers-so they could start their new lives with heads held high, knowing that someone cared.

It's a small thing for a small amount of cash that filled a need. It also filled a need that no one voiced: the need for a shot of self-esteem and connection. Bargain shopping For both the givers and the recipients in need, to greater connection of heart energy was generated. For less than fifty dollars several children could have new brand-namecuddly stuffed animals and clothes and bruised and shattered mom could have a few nice Westwood anglomania blouses.

Others give trunks full of food to the local food banks and homeless shelters. The weekly grocery store Shopping bargains can fulfill the needs of a family trying to survive on less than most people spend for an evening out at the movies. By asking the food bank volunteers what people are requesting one can help with that need also. Meat, milk, eggs and coffee can go a long way towards helping a struggling person keep enough self-esteem to keep looking for work. While most grocery stores give their stale and soon to expire items to the food banks, not all of it is good. Bargain shoppers can help by providing fresh foods and items the food banks don't normally receive.

By examiningthe reasons behind the performing of good deeds and taking a little time to determine how to best fill needs, we can deliver much better help to those in need. To give because one can, without expectations attached, brings us all closer to that heart connection that is our true inheritance from the universal consciousness that we call God. To help each other, through that heart connection, is to become more Human.

Toddler Xmas Songs

Christmas is all about being with the ones that you love, and sharing moments that will last a lifetime. For preschoolers, it is a little bit different. They do like being with their family, but even more than that, they like waiting for Santa Claus. They love sitting on his lap, setting out cookies, and waking up the next morning with presents all around. That is why most preschool Christmas songs are about Santa. But maybe we are sending the wrong message to our children. Christmas is about Jesus, not Santa.

If you are teaching your students Christmas songs consider combining a performance with announcements about preschool fundraising programs. Po

What Message Do Your Christmas Songs Send?

More kids are familiar with Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer than Away ina Manger. Kids get more excited about Santa than Jesus. Year after year we show our children that Christmas is about presents rather than the birth of Jesus.

Most of the Christmas songs we sing are about Santa and the North Pole, rather than Mary, Joseph and Jesus. Preschool Christmas songs are mostly about being good for Santa, rather than being good for Jesus. They teach you about elves, stockings, chimneys, snow, and candy canes. Shouldn't CHRISTmas songs sing about Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the three kings, the manger, and angels? We have become a society that is focused on how much "stuff" we have, rather than how much heart we have. Don't you want your child to grow up and become a Christian that lives to Christian life, and believes in Christian things? We are teaching our childrenthat focusing on things other than Christ is OK. There is nothing wrong with singing songs about Santa or reindeers game. But shouldn't most of the songs that the kids learn be about Jesus? After all, it is his birthday, and not Santa 's.

Preschool Christmas songs are a great way to get kids excited about Christmas. Christmas used to be about giving and loving, and now it is all about receiving and taking. Maybe we need to help with the homeless and food banks, rather than go to the mall and buy a new pair of jeans. Let's focus on what is important during CHRISTMAS: The birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

It is not bad to sing about Santa, candy, and little elves. But this Christmas, let's make sure that Santa is not our focus, but Jesus is. Teach your child preschool Christmas songslike "Away in a Manger", or Holy Night. Isn't that what Jesus would do?

10 Presents For A 10-Year-Old's Birthday

Yippee! It's almost time for that once-in-a-lifetime 10th birthday. And that means gifts. So it's off to the mall where a world of dazzling gifts stretches out before you. You barely know where to start.

There is help, though. And it comes from a group of 10 and 11-year-olds, themselves.

I asked this group to list their favorite recent birthday gift. They were thrilled to give me hundreds of choices. We worked hard to narrow the list down to the top ten.

Here goes:

* Electric Train-

An electric train with winding tracks and blinking lights-switch is an exciting gift. You can add new cars, railroad worker figures, and extra track throughout the year.

* Tattoos-

A complete set of stick-on tattoos can delight a 10-year-old's heart. To setmay contain animals, flowers, names, and names they make up on their own. Glitter tattoos and body paint is especially appreciated.

* Skateboarding-

A colorful skateboard with solar-powered lights will add smiles to any birthday celebration.

* Wood-burning Set-

This set normally contains the hand-held electric burner-pen, wood blocks, stencils, paint and varnish. It provides hours of fun for any artist.

* Name Scroll-

To scroll comes with the person's first name and meaning on a background of a painted tiger, lion or some other animal in nature. Included is a crest, painted borders and seals. It is ready to be framed and hung on the wall. It is beautiful enough to make any heart sing.

* Anti-gravity Boots-

Sure-fire anti-gravity boots can bethe hit of the party. Guests of all ages will want to try them out. You may even get to walk on the moon with them.

* Gemstone Polishing Kit-

A gemstone polishing kit is a most unusual gift and people, young and old, want to try their hand at using it. Nothing beats seeing those gemstones emerges. The kit comes with a tumbler and powder to remove hardened clay that covers the gemstones beneath.

* Juggler's Kit-

Jugglers ' kits are a dandy gift. They come with colorful balls that light up when in motion. The lights are battery operated.

* Kites-

Kites in fantastic shapes of dragons, giants and tiger sharks are winning gifts. Some kites are even self-propelled for those days when the wind is low. Many have lights that blink on and off.

* Heelys-

Heelys are sports shoes with an added bonus-they roll. A wheel is released in the back of the shoe sole. You merely have to lift the front of your foot and off you go. You can zip around crowds and get anywhere fast.

I hope this list provides you with a starting point. With a little imagination and help from a young assistant, you can find a dazzling gift for a 10-year-old's birthday.

Bakugan Games

Looking for the sizzling gift this holiday season? Well, seek no farther than Bakugan Battle Brawlers. This action-packed game seems to be the game sensation taking our nation by storm. It is based on the popular Japanese anime television show. Just as in the cartoon, the game is chock full of wham, pow, slam type excitement that is guaranteed to provide lots of battle brawlin ' entertainment.

This is really a 2 person game. Each player has a team of 3 Bakugan Brawlers and each should be trying to become the first to seize three gate cards. It is that simple! The battlers sit down opposite the other on the floor or across any smooth surface for example a table. They each pick a gate card then lay those gate cards between the brawlers so the two cards are touching. Now theyounger of the battlers chooses a Bakugan Battle Brawler and after that rolls it similar to a marble towards the gate cards. Now, the entertainment starts!

Bakugan Battle Brawler is a smallish sphere until it lands on a gate card. If it does, any gate card leads to the Bakugan Battle Brawler's sphere to open revealing the Brawler inside. When a couple of Battle Brawlers get on the same gate card they fight it out until one finally wins. The player who owns the successful Bakugan Battle Brawler takes the card in question and, as well, gets to go earliest in the subsequent rounds. These rounds go on until just one battler has won enough brawls in order to get 3 gate cards. Once that is established then a winner can be declared. Its fast fun until that happens and it isn't always easyto know who will win.

As you'll find more than one hundred alternate playing pieces available, no two games are ever alike. Who wins the overall game all depends on what Bakugan Battle Brawlers you select to play with and after that which game pieces ones opponent chooses to play alongside of yours. Players can speed up those already exciting games by purchasing the Bakugan Battle Arena to play within and also by using a Bakugan Launcher in order to better target your playing pieces during the game. There is even the neat Bakugan Collector Houses in order to keep those Battle Brawlers in whenever you're not actively playing. How hip is that!

This is one of those games that provide hours of fun for everyone that plays. It is also cool to collect the different pieces. Make one ofyour children really happy with this gift under the wrapping paper. OK, are you willing to go at it? Now make sure you pick up your Bakugan Battle Brawlers right now! There is still time.

Yellow-colored Toenails

Yellow toenails are usually a sign of trouble to come. Although harmless bacterial colonization can cause a color change on nails (usually green), and there is a rare condition called yellow nail syndrome, by far the most common cause of yellowish discoloration in the rock or toenails is fungus infection. Many fungi produce colored pigments when they are growing well-Penicillium, for instance, the fungus that produces penicillin, commonly produces a deep green pigment. The fungi that like to grow in nails commonly produces yellowish or rock colors.

To determine whether, in your case, a fungal infection is the reason for yellow toenails, you should visit your doctor and get a professional diagnosis. Since fungal nail infections are relatively common, your doctor willhave seen yellow toenails before, and will be able to judge whether your nails are infected with fungus or whether you have some other problem that requires different treatment. If there is still doubt, a sample of your toenail can be yellowish taken and sent to the laboratory for testing.

Yellow toenails are not necessarily spines: 0. uniformly colored. Only some toenails may be affected-sometimes only one-and the fungus may only be growing in part of the nail, producing a yellow toenail streak. Untreated, infections that involve only part of the nail will usually spread to cover the whole nail, and generally advance towards the nail root over time. Once you know for sure that fungus is the reason for yellow toenails in your case, don't delay treatment. Infections are more easily treatedif they do not involve the lunula (crescent shaped whish area near the cuticle).

You will have to decide between various types of treatment for yellow toenails. Your doctor can prescribe an oral medication that is taken daily for a few months to a year to get rid of the infection. Many people avoid the oral prescription drugs because they are expensive, and because of the potential for unpleasant side effects. There is also a topical prescription nail lacquer that is painted on, but this can only be used for yellow toenails, or a yellow toenail streak that does not involve the lunula (crescent-shaped region whish near the cuticle).

Besides the prescription drugs, natural remedies probably work better than over the counter antifungals for yellow toenails and anyyellow toenail streak. This is because topical ointments and lotions don't get through the nail to kill the fungus. Natural and home remedies attempt to soften the nail for better penetration, and often contain natural ingredients that have been found to be effective against fungus. Some are even backed up by scientific study.
