I heard it many times. Even no homo guys said so.
And do you think I can get a girlfriend in the future? I'm a late blommer. I want only a serious relationship
Most Helpful Girl
A lot of morons will say you look like him because you're blond and handsome. Just like they say i look like Alicia Keys because I'm mixed and play the piano.
Your appearance is more masculine, particularly in the prominent cheekbones, wider face, and protruding chin. I'm guessing you're taller too. You can't pass for Leo's twin or brother, but don't worry, you're quite handsome. Also, it seems like you're not afraid to be different. Being yourself, embracing your own style, being open and honest, is the surest way to reach the right girl's heart. So you're almost there...
Finding the right person is freakin hard, if not harder, for people's whose appearance generates a lot of unwanted attention.00|00|0
I don't know. I feel like if I be honest and open, she will mock with me. I got some flirty looks at classes. But, I think she wants me to just add another guy to her list. I'm virgin it makes me think she will mock about it too.
- Show AllShow Less
Just say your standards are really high, and you haven't met the right girl, or you believe in sex after marriage (very romantic, imo). Guys like that are like in the fairy tales, amazing and incredibly rare!
Oh, and if she makes you feel like that, then she's not it. I hated people like that in school, where I always had to watch what I said, in case I'm labeled as weird, or get that awkward "look". Trust your gut. When you meet the right person... its SOOO AWESOME... like you just keep laughing cause you understand each other so well!! Finishing sentences... no awkward topics. You feel like you can literally talk about anything. You keep bouncing stuff off them to see what they think, and you share such strong passions... :D I met a person like that, and it kind of changed my life. I feel like I'm on a high around them, and vice versa. I have to force myself not to call them too often. Too bad he's not cute enough to date, :(

Envelope glycoprotein spikes on the surface of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are used by the virus to bind to cellular receptors to gain entry into target cells. As such, the envelope spikes are the targets of antibodies that can neutralize viral infectivity. Fifty percent or more of the mass of the viral-encoded surface glycoprotein of HIV, and of its close monkey relative simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), is actually carbohydrate; it is one of the most heavily glycosylated proteins that can be found in mammals. It has been clearly demonstrated that one of the functions of this carbohydrate is to shield viral epitopes that would otherwise be the direct target of antibodies that could neutralize viral infection. In addition, it is now generally accepted that the carbohydrate on the viral envelope glycoprotein is recognized by multiple cellular lectins of the host lymphoreticular system, and these interactions play a role in the dissemination of virus within the host as well as the release of modulatory cytokines. Our work recently demonstrated fundamental differences in the composition of the carbohydrate on HIV type 1, the cause of the AIDS pandemic, versus the SIV in the sooty mangabey monkey, a natural host that does not develop disease from its infection. We now speculate that this fundamental difference in carbohydrate composition reflects evolutionary pressures on both virus and host. Furthermore, carbohydrate composition on the virus and genetic differences in carbohydrate-sensing proteins of the host could be critically important for the generalized lymphoid activation that characterizes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Incorporation of the envelope protein (Env) spike is essential for the infectivity of HIV and SIV. Env is synthesized from a singly spliced viral mRNA and directed to the secretory pathway of the infected cell by an amino terminal signal peptide of 25 amino acids [1]. The Env precursor protein, gp160, oligomerizes into trimers through interactions of the transmembrane protein domain [2,3,4]. Then, cellular furin or furin-like proteases cleave the oligomerized gp160s into the surface subunit (gp120) and the transmembrane protein (gp41), which are noncovalently associated in the Env protein complex [5,6]. In most cell types, Env is trafficked to the plasma membrane, where it is incorporated into virus particles [7]. For macrophage cells, Env is incorporated into virus particles largely at the multi-vesicular body [8]. Virus is contained in the macrophage multivesicular body prior to the fusion of this compartment with the plasma membrane when infectious virions are released [8].
The Envs of HIV and SIV are heavily modified with carbohydrate. The attachment of N-linked carbohydrate is initiated when the carbohydrate core oligosaccharide (two N-acetylglucosamine, nine mannose, and three glucose) is transferred en bloc to the asparagine of the N-linked consensus sequence N-X-S or N-X-T, where X is any amino acid except a proline [9-13]. Then, the glucose is removed to form high-mannose carbohydrate chains that terminate in mannose [12]. High-mannose carbohydrate may be further processed into complex or hybrid oligosaccharides [14]. Fully processed complex carbohydrate chains terminate in galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, sialic acid, or glucose [15,16]. Hybrid carbohydrate chains have one branch that terminates in mannose and another branch that terminates in a sugar of the complex type [17]. Therefore, at each occupied site, the N-linked carbohydrate chain may be one of three types: high-mannose, complex, or hybrid.
In addition to the attachment of N-linked carbohydrate, the Envs of HIV and SIV also may be modified with O-linked carbohydrate in the secretory pathway of the infected cell. This type of carbohydrate attachment, commonly referred to as mucin-type [18], initiates with the covalent attachment of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to the hydroxyl group of serine (Ser) and/or threonine (Thr) to form the Tn antigen [19,20]. There are no clear-cut rules that distinguish a glycosylated Ser or Thr from a non-glycosylated Ser or Thr in the primary protein sequence [18]. After the addition of GalNAc, the carbohydrate chain may then be elongated by the addition of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and sialic acid in different combinations and linkages [18,21]. The Tn antigen, core 1, immature core 2, core 2, and the sialylated versions are the most common mucin-type O-linked carbohydrate [22].
Initial observations of N-linked carbohydrate contributing to the function of Env were made in studies where virus made in the presence of glucosidase inhibitors displayed impaired infectivity compared to virus made in the absence of inhibitors [23,24]. The inhibition of infectivity or syncytium formation could be attributed to an altered N-linked glycosylation pattern of Env, a decreased cell surface expression of the mature Env glycoprotein, and a decreased processing of the precursor gp160 into gp120 and gp41 compared to that of Env from mock treated cells [25].
The effects of carbohydrate on folding, processing, and efficient intracellular transport of Env also were detected for viral variants lacking a subset of N-linked glycans from either gp120 or gp41 [26-29]. Li et al. identified a subset of N-linked carbohydrate that was important for proper folding of the CD4 binding pocket of gp120 [27]. Reitter et al. and Pikora et al. noted a decreased processing from "gp160" to "gp120" for mutants that lack three sites in combination within gp120 [28,29]. Fenouillet and Jones reported that a mutant precursor of Env that lacked three conserved N-linked sites of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) gp41 was deficient for transport resulting in a deficient processing of gp160 [26].
The role of N-linked carbohydrate is thus particularly important for the assembly of a fusion-competent Env spike. After the Env spike is assembled, enzymatic removal of N-linked glycosylation does not affect the functional conformation [30-35].
In a seminal paper, variants of pathogenic SIV from rhesus macaque (SIVmac239) that lacked two of 23 N-linked glycosylation sites of gp120 were much better at eliciting neutralizing antibodies and much more sensitive targets for neutralization than the parental SIVmac239 strain [36]. A variant of SIVmac239 that lacked five N-linked sites in gp120 replicated normally in monkeys for the first two weeks [36]. Notably, the infection was then controlled, at least in part by neutralizing antibodies, at low or undetectable levels for more than two years [36]. This study indicated that removal of carbohydrate triggered an antibody response that effectively controlled viral replication and also provided evidence for the necessity of an intact glycan shield to protect the virus against the attack of the host immune system.
The importance of an intact carbohydrate shield also was highlighted for HIV-1 in a report in which the glycosylation pattern of viral escape variants was introduced into two sensitive strains [37]. The addition of multiple N-linked sites into both sensitive strains was sufficient to acquire a neutralization-resistant phenotype, thereby providing evidence of a continuously evolving glycan shield in HIV-1 [37].
Now, it is generally accepted that carbohydrate covers portions of antigenic sites of the Env protein such that increased numbers of N-linked glycosylation sites in gp120 of HIV-1 and SIV are associated with an increased resistance to antibody-mediated neutralization, while loss of N-linked sites frequently results in virus that is more susceptible to antibody-mediated neutralization [36,38-48]. Consistent with N-linked carbohydrate physically hindering antibody recognition of epitopes that would otherwise be the direct targets of neutralizing antibodies, variants of SIVmac239 that lacked N-linked sites in gp120 or gp41 elicited antibodies with new specificities when compared to antibodies from SIVmac239 sera [49,50].
What about O-linked carbohydrate and the carbohydrate shield? Chackerian et al. beautifully demonstrated a role for O-linked carbohydrate in shielding SIV from neutralization by host antibodies [39]. Similarly, a rhesus macaque that developed a neutralizing antibody response to SIVmac239 had an escape variant that introduced a Thr into an existing O-linked carbohydrate attachment site [46,51].
The carbohydrate of HIV-1 and SIV gp120 has been found to bind lectins on the surface of dendritic cells, enhance the infection of HIV permissive cells, and modulate the immune response. Geijtenbeek et al. elegantly showed that binding of HIV-1 gp120 to dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN), a type II transmembrane C-type lectin with a single C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain [52], facilitated the infection of HIV permissive T-cells via a trans-infection pathway [53]. Virions bound to macrophage cells expressing DC-SIGN could trans-infect CD4+ T-cells four days after capture, and this trans-infection could be blocked by an antibody to DC-SIGN [53]. DC-SIGN binds to HIV-1 gp120 via carbohydrate since the removal of specific glycans from gp120 decreased the capacity of DC-SIGN to bind, which led to a decreased efficiency of trans-infection of CD4+ T-cells [54].
HIV-1 gp120 carbohydrate functions through binding DC-SIGN to activate crucial components of the immune system. Binding of HIV-1 gp120 to DC-SIGN induced Raf-1 dependent phosphorylation of the NF-ĸB subunit p65 at Ser276 that recruited transcription-elongation factor pTEF-b to nascent transcripts for the synthesis of full-length viral transcripts leading to a productive infection of dendritic cells [55]. Separately, binding of the high-mannose carbohydrate of gp120 to DC-SIGN also induced signaling of the ERK pathway in dendritic cells that resulted in the release of IL-10, an immunosuppressive cytokine that may contribute to the TH2 bias of the anti-gp120 immune response [56,57,58].
Carbohydrate of HIV-1 binds to many C-type lectins as well as other lectins of the human immune system [59,60,61]. Another noteworthy binding partner of the carbohydrate on gp120 is the soluble mannose binding lectin (MBL) [62]. MBL is a member of the collagenous lectin (collectin) family of proteins, large multimeric proteins that consist of collagen and a Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate-binding domain [63]. The collectins are a part of the larger group of C-type lectins [63]. In vitro, the mannose binding lectin inhibits trans-infection mediated by macrophage cells expressing DC-SIGN [64]. In vivo, the level of MBL in human sera varies due to polymorphisms in the promoter of the gene and point mutations within the protein-coding region [65]. In some studies, low levels of MBL have been associated with an increased susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and an increased progression of disease, supporting the theory that either high or medium levels of MBL are required for the control of disease progression [65].
The lectin Cyanovirin-N (CV-N), an 11 Kda protein isolated from blue green algae, directly targets carbohydrates on the Env of HIV to block viral entry into cells [66]. In 2003, CV-N was applied in a gel to the rectum of monkeys to effectively protect against infection of SHIV89.6, a virus that is primarily SIV but expresses the Env of HIV [67]. Subsequent to this proof of principle experiment, interest in the use of CV-N in human trials waned due to safety concerns. Suboptimal concentrations of CV-N enhanced HIV infection of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells [68]. Also, the process of cell division was stimulated in the presence of CV-N [69]. Recently, a similar lectin has been identified that reportedly does not have these negative side effects [70], which may prove to be a therapeutic directed toward the carbohydrate of HIV-1 Env.
Recently, we have identified fundamental differences in both the N-linked and O-linked carbohydrate composition for HIV-1 versus SIVsm [51,71]. We defined two N-linked sites in the external surface glycoprotein gp120 and one in the gp41 transmembrane glycoprotein whose mutation imparted high-level resistance to the inhibitory effects of the high-mannose carbohydrate binding lectins GNA and HHA onto cloned SIVmac239 [71]. This was in contrast to selection of HIV-1, where the GNA and HHA-resistant population lacked eight of 24 N-linked sites in gp120 [72]. We used a GNA-binding ELISA to show that assorted HIV-1 and SIVcpz gp120s are consistently and considerably higher in high-mannose composition than assorted gp120s from SIVmac, SIVsm, and HIV type 2 (HIV-2) (Table 1) [71]. In a separate study, we identified an O-linked carbohydrate attachment region in the gp120 of SIVmac239, whose mutation imparted high-level resistance to the inhibitory effects of jacalin, a lectin that binds O-linked carbohydrate, onto cloned SIVmac239 [51]. Modification of the gp120 of SIVmac239 with non- and mono-sialylated core 1 carbohydrate was confirmed by mass spectrometry [51]. Furthermore, using a jacalin-binding ELISA, we showed that assorted gp120s from SIVmac and SIVsm were consistently modified with non- and mono-sialylated core 1 mucin-type O-linked carbohydrate while assorted HIV-1 and SIVcpz gp120s consistently lacked these jacalin-sensitive structures (Table 1) [51].
The best characterized interaction of the carbohydrate of HIV and SIV Env is the binding to the host lectin DC-SIGN. DC-SIGN on dendritic cells has been shown to mediate trans-infection of permissive CD4+ T-cells for HIV-1, HIV-2, SIVmac, SIVmne, and SIV from African green monkeys [73,74,75]. In trans-infection experiments, HIV-1 Env that had a high high-mannose carbohydrate composition mediated the infection of CD4+ T-cells seven times more than that of the low high-mannose HIV-2 Env [74].
Interestingly, even though the DC-SIGN of multiple species of monkeys have been shown to mediate the trans-infection of virus, no animal experiment has been reported showing the contribution of trans-infection mediated by DC-SIGN to the dissemination of virus in the host. This is probably due to the multitude of lectins that can mediate trans-infection. In rhesus macaques, dendritic cells have been reported to efficiently transmit primate lentiviruses independently of DC-SIGN [76].
The carbohydrate of the HIV and SIV Env functions in the proper folding and processing of a fusion-competent Env spike, functions to shield the virus from effective antibody-mediated neutralization of infection, functions to bind host lectins to enhance the infection of permissive cells, and functions to trigger signaling pathways resulting in both the productive infection of dendritic cells and the release of immune modulatory cytokines from dendritic cells. The newly highlighted differences in the composition of N-linked and O-linked carbohydrate on HIV-1 gp120 versus SIVsm gp120 may result in these lentiviruses engaging differentially with host lectins. The intriguing question arises whether these differences in carbohydrate composition may modulate the interaction of virus with the host such that humans infected with HIV-1 progress to disease while the majority of naturally infected sooty mangabeys resist generalized lymphoid activation and disease progression despite high levels of SIV replication. Determining whether carbohydrate indeed plays a role in mediating the activated state of the immune response to HIV in humans, and if so, the mechanism behind this activation, will be critical in the development of therapeutics directed toward the carbohydrate of Env.

Calmund: Only Ballack is leaving
By Philip Seery
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
With star midfielder Michael Ballack, top-scorer in Die Bundesliga, heading to arch rivals Bayern Munich in the summer Bayer followers feared a mass exodus.
However, Calmund insisted no-one else would be leaving the BayArena and indicated that the priority would be to strenghten the squad and not weaken it.
"Besides Ballack who is going, we have control over who goes and who stays. We will only release a player if we have a reasonable alternative," explained Calmund.
"Lots of clubs are interested in Lucio (pictured) but he is still young and perhaps wants to play another year or two in Leverkusen.
Calmund has labelled the Samba ace "priceless" and knows the fans would be angered should he leave for Italy or elsewhere.
"What use is it if we sell Lucio for 70 Million DM (£21.8 million)? The fans would throw stones at us if we didn't win without him." revealed the Leverkusen supremo.
The squad of Die Bundesliga leaders needs expanding according to Calmund who believes their main rivals have more quality at their disposal.
"We have 15 first-rate players. Borussia Dortmund have 20 and Bayern Munich 25."
Miroslav Klose, Torsten Frings, Jan Simak, Daniel Bierofka and Christoph Preuss have all been linked with Bayer in recent weeks and coach Klaus Toppmoller confirmed enquiries had been made.
"We have spoken with Torsten Frings and Jan Simak," said Toppi.

Love. Angel. Music. Baby.: Gwen Stefani
5 Recommendations
stacymae's recommendation
Now here is a woman who took the world by storm, she is talented, powerful, and a real multi-tasker. A role model for any woman by today's standards, not only that but this is just a great CD. The song Cool is probably my favorite on this disc, although it was hard to choose.
My Collections:
I love this cd. It's such a great mix of songs. Nice pick!
- hapa_lee
hanahula's recommendation
I really wasn't expecting to love this album, but it got under my skin a little more each time I listened to it. And Gwen seemed to have truly unleashed herself as an artist, and a woman with something completely new and different to contribute to the world of music, fashion and popular culture.
My Collections:
secretagentkt's recommendation
upbeat, multiple good songs, this music always puts me in a good mood...
My Collections:
CandiceH28's recommendation
Gwen always has some pretty upbeat tunes. Not only that, but I think I would like her as a person if I ever met her. She seems like a good role-model for girls: strong, powerful, independent...... unlike a lot of *ahem* other women artists.

magungo's recommendation
Gwen stefani has such a pretty voice. Her songs are so catchy and she got dr dre on a few tracks.

Chris Berman's time with ESPN goes way back — back, back, back — but it appears he's close to hanging them up.
The longtime sports broadcaster will remain with ESPN but step away from several significant roles after the NFL playoffs, the network announced Thursday.
Berman no longer will host "Sunday NFL Countdown," "NFL PrimeTime" and "Monday Night Countdown" after this year's Super Bowl, and he also is done hosting the NFL draft and Major League Baseball's Home Run Derby.
Berman signed a multiyear contract with ESPN to stay on in a "reduced role," according to the Sports Business Journal. He'll still do play-by-play on ESPN Radio for MLB League Division Series games, as well as make weekly appearances on "Monday Night Countdown" via taped segments.
"I like to think of myself as an ESPN lifer," Berman told SBJ. "There really wasn't any thought of doing anything else. … We've had a great working relationship extending 38 years."
Berman joined ESPN in 1979 at the age of 24 just one month after the network launched and has been its primary NFL studio host for 31 years. His name has become synonymous over the last three decades with enthusiastic home run calls, enduring catchphrases and, of course, those clever player nicknames.
ESPN has yet to name Berman's replacement for its NFL shows or the Home Run Derby.

Ah, the joys of travel.
Not only do we have to deal with the hassles of flying, but other healthy habits such as diet and exercise often fly out the window, adding to our level of frustration and fatigue.
I know it can be very hard to maintain our eco-friendly ways while on the road. We tend to opt for convenience when crunched for time, or when we're tired and far from home.
Still, it is possible, and needn't take too much effort.
So here are my tips on How to Travel Green:
Stay Hydrated
While it's definitely important to stay hydrated while traveling, I think it's equally important to consider the type of bottle you're drinking out of.
Yet, how does one maintain proper fluid intake without going through gallons of water packaged in plastic bottles?
My method isn't foolproof, but here it is: I travel with a stainless steel water bottle. I empty it prior to passing through airport security, then request a refill at the nearest Starbucks.
A friend of mine gave me this tip a few years ago, and it really works!
Your second option is to buy bottled water, refill the stainless steel bottle, and then recycle the plastic container in the nearest recycle bin.
It may not always be possible to find a recycle bin, but I think this is more about doing what you can. Every little bit helps!
Remember – you're travelling. It isn't going to be perfect. If it comes down to choosing between quenching your thirst and staying 'green' – personally, I would choose the water every time.
Linens & Things
Have you noticed that more and more hotels are giving you an option whether to have your sheets and towels changed on a daily basis?
Sure, the luxury and pampering that comes with fresh linens every night is definitely nice, but is it really necessary?

It is a sad fact of the human condition that once a new technology becomes established, and no matter how incredible it is, we quickly condemn it to banality.
A couple of weeks ago I pointed out that just 50 years elapsed between Alcock and Brown's transatlantic epic and the first flight of the Boeing 747. So, the first time the Boeing made the same trip, there may well have been someone on board who could remember reading in a newspaper about Alcock and Brown's ignominious arrival in an Irish peat bog. And how did he celebrate this dazzling affirmation of our dominion even over gravity? Probably by grumbling about the selection of wines available for yourself, with your meal on your flight today, sir.
Look at personal computers. When I was a student I knew fledgling computer scientists, and many would pass the long friendless nights wrestling with a Commodore or a BBC Micro just to solve some simple arithmetic, while the rest of us peered through the crack in the door in wonderment at the marvellous things that could be done nowadays.
Ten years later, perfectly normal people were in possession of something that could manage a Mars mission. But never mind that. You could install a comedy automatic door noise from Star Trek and make it sound if you pressed the wrong key! And now look. The interweb has become a global village forum for the exchange of ideas; a unifying force for good that admits no let or hindrance from political oppression, and that might finally bring an end to war and famine. Great. Let's download some blurred holiday snaps to My Face and surf eBay for things we threw away 20 years ago. Honestly.
But this is nothing compared with what has been done to the wheel. I imagine this is one of the oldest and most significant inventions on the planet. The first wheels must have been nothing more than fallen tree trunks of roughly uniform diameter.
Eventually, these would have been sawn into discs and fitted to crude axles, and then wheels would have been built up from spokes and rims and so on until, after many millennia, we arrived at the chromed and oversized aftermarket five-spoke alloy for a second-hand BMW M3.
And the wheels on which we roll along are only the start of it. Once the science of rotation was mastered, all sorts of things became possible. Gears are simply wheels arranged in ratios, to multiply or divide torque and manage the relative speeds of other spinning components.
Pulley wheels provide mechanical advantage to drive ancillaries or, in the form of a block and tackle, remove the engine from the car altogether. Even a nut turning on its helically threaded bolt is a wheel moving in two planes. Wheels are the mechanical kernel of the pleasure I take from driving cars and riding motorcycles.
Which may explain why I find Richard Hammond's wheeled luggage so offensive. We each have roughly the same overnight Globe-Trotter suitcase, but while mine is fitted with a normal handle and is carried in the acceptable fashion, his is equipped with two tiny and noisome plastic wheels and a telescopic bar, and is dragged around behind him like a reluctant dog.
Why? He's a healthy and strong bloke, so unless he's filled the thing with the bullion from The Italian Job he must, by dint of its size, be able to carry it. I can carry mine, and I'm a bit of a weakling.
I've told him it makes him look a sap and in response he parks near my house and then wheels his spare pants and toothbrush to my front door, knowing that the plasticky rattle of his approach will cause rage to mount like a squadron of cavalry at the back of my head. He's doing it purely to annoy me.
Wheeled luggage is fine for women, whose privilege is to take three times as much on a journey as is actually needed. Even the rufty tuftiest of birds is guilty of this one. But blokes?
Nothing testifies to the enfeeblement of our sex quite like a bag with wheels on it. At airports I see men who have quite clearly given up, tugging briefcases the size of a laptop on unfeasibly long handles. How can they possibly not carry them? It's pathetic. And it makes a horrible noise.
The rules are these. If you can't lift your case, you've packed too much stuff. Pick it up, for crying out loud. Wheels have more important things to do.

Cat Breathing Problems
|Normal breathing rate for cats Causes of breathing problems in cats Symptoms of breathing problems Treatment of breathing problems
Breathing is a part of the respiratory system which involves moving air into and out of the lungs. Oxygen is pulled into the lungs, which is then transported to all the cells within the body via the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide is expelled.
There are a number of causes of difficulty breathing in cats, and different types of breathing abnormalities, listed below.
- Polypnea/tachypnea – Rapid shallow breathing, sometimes open mouthed (panting)
- Sibilant rhonchi – Wheezing/noisy breathing
- Hypopnea – Shallow breathing
- Dyspnea – Shortness of breath
What is the normal breathing rate for a cat?
At rest, a cat breathes approximately 20-30 times per minute which is approximately twice that of a human. The process of breathing begins with inhalation
Respiration should be smooth, quiet and without effort, this is known as eupnea. The suffix pnea meaning breath or breathing. You will note that certain types of breathing difficulty end in pnea.
What are the causes of breathing problems in cats?
There are many possible causes of breathing problems in cats, and many possible locations such as the lungs, the heart, the pulmonary system.
Causes are split into obstructive, restrictive or vascular. You may notice that some conditions may cause more than one type of breathing difficulty.
|Hyperpnea (rapid heavy breathing)
|Tachypnea/polypnea (rapid open mouthed breathing/panting)
|Sibilant rhonchi (wheezing and/or noisy breathing)
|Dyspnea (difficult or laboured breathing)
Symptoms of breathing problems in cats:
Breathing difficulties can be acute or chronic depending on the underlying cause. Often symptoms are subtle and pet owners may not immediately recognise there is a problem. Symptoms may include:
- Breathing with the head and neck extended out in front of the body
- Elbows sticking out, Bulldog stance
- Coughing
- Pale or blue tinged mucous membranes (cyanosis)
- Difficulty standing
- Noisy breathing
- Panting, open mouthed breathing
- Rapid breathing
- Lethargy
- Restlessness and anxiety
- Bright red tongue (possible heat stroke)
- Flared nostrils
- Hiding
- Reluctance to move
Image Karen, Flickr
Look at the cat in the image above, his head is slightly extended, his mouth open and his elbows are sticking out.
Any signs of difficulty breathing, no matter how small, should be immediately investigated by a veterinarian.
How are breathing disorders diagnosed?
Your veterinarian will perform a physical examination of your cat and obtain a medical history from you including known medical conditions, duration of symptoms, if other household cats have similar symptoms, if it is seasonal, if your cat is indoors/outdoors.
Depending on the index of suspicion, your veterinarian will need to run some diagnostic tests. These may include:
- Complete blood count, biochemical profile and urinalysis are all routine tests to evaluate the overall health of your cat. These can help to diagnose hypercalcemia, anemia and infection.
- Xray or ultrasound to look for tumours, blockages, pulmonary embolism, pleural effusion and evaluate the heart and lungs.
- Electrocardiogram to evaluate the heart.
- Endoscope to evaluate the nasal passages and airways. Biopsies may be taken during this procedure.
- Thoracentesis is a procedure in which a needle is inserted into the pleural space to remove excess fluid, which is not only diagnostic, but will also give relief to your cat.
Treatment of breathing problems in cats:
Treatment will be aimed at addressing the underlying cause, as there are so many potential causes, it is impractical to list the treatment for them all.
Cat flu:
Treatment – In most cases, supportive care will be offered, including removing discharge to assist breathing, antibiotics won't work for viral infections but may be offered to keep secondary bacterial infections at bay, encouraging your cat to continue eating.
Heat stroke:
Treatment for heat stroke includes bringing the cat's body temperature down, providing oxygen and treating for dehydration (where necessary).
Treatment for asthma may include steroids and/or bronchodilators.
There are no medications safe to treat heartworms in cats. In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend a wait and see approach, in severe cases, medications will be given off label to kill the worms, but this comes with its own risks so should be carefully weighed up.
Airway obstruction:
Surgery to remove the obstruction.
Pleural effusion:
Treating the underlying cause, as well as oxygen therapy to stabilise the cat followed by thoracentesis to remove fluid which allows the lungs to expand.
Low iodine diet which results in a decreased production of thyroid hormone, surgery to remove the tumour or radioactive iodine treatment to kill the tumour.
Pulmonary edema:
Treating the underlying cause as well as diuretics to remove excess fluids by increasing urine output, oxygen therapy, vasodilators to open up the airways, sedatives and cage rest.
Treating the underlying cause as well as intravenous administration of calcium gluconate and vitamin D supplements.
Treating the underlying cause as well as blood transfusion, erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidneys to stimulate red blood cell production, cats with kidney disease often have low levels of this hormone, oxygen therapy in severe cases.
Diabetic ketoacidosis:
Treating the underlying cause, where possible as well as intravenous fluids and electrolytes to correct dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, frequent administration of short acting insulin.
Stemming blood loss if it has occurred, fluid therapy, oxygen therapy, and supportive care.
Tick paralysis:
Antiserum which contains antibodies against the tick toxin, oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids and cage rest.
Treating the underlying cause such as antibiotics for bacterial infection, as well as fluid therapy to treat dehydration, oxygen therapy and cage rest.
Treating the underlying cause as well as thoracocentesis to remove larger volumes of trapped air or a tube thoracostomy where recurrent thoracocentesis has occurred. Oxygen therapy and pain relief if necessary.
Radiation therapy to kill the tumour or medications to inhibit the production of growth hormones.
Elongated soft palate:
Surgery to remove tumours where possible as well as radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.
Treating the underlying cause where possible as well as bronchodilators to open the airways.
Feline infectious peritonitis (wet form:
There is currently no cure for FIP and treatment is palliative. There is a potential new treatment on the horizon with a small trial showing a high success rate. The treatment is a broad-spectrum anti-viral known as GC376.
Low levels of oxygen in the blood:
Treating the underlying cause as well as supportive care such as painkillers, oxygen therapy, fluid therapy, nutritional support and blood transfusion where necessary.
Decreasing body temperature by introducing cool fluids intravenously or by enema, oxygen therapy and in some cases corticosteroids to reduce swelling in the throat.
Pulmonary embolism:
Cage rest, oxygen therapy, fluid therapy, thrombolytics which are medications to break down the clot, and possibly anticoagulants to reduce the occurrence of blood clots forming. Unfortunately the prognosis is poor for cats with this condition.
Treating the underlying cause as well as oxygen therapy, bronchodilators or nebulisers may be necessary to help your cat breath. Thoracic drainage tubes to remove fluids from the pleural cavity, pain medications, intravenous fluids and nutritional support may also be required.
Treating the underlying cause as well as removal of fluid from the abdomen (abdominocentesis), diuretics to promote the production of urine and dandelion extract to prevent fluid build up.
Heart disease:
Surgery where possible but in many cases treatment is supportive, which may include exercise reduction, medications to remove fluid build up, low sodium diet.
Upper airway infection:
These are usually self limiting in healthy adult cats. Supportive care will be given including fluid therapy if necessary, and nutritional support, removal of nasal and eye discharge as well as steam therapy. If the cause is bacterial, antibiotics will be prescribed.

Do YOU still have your childhood stuffed animal or blanket??
When I was 7 it was my dads birthday and I was given $10 to pick something out for him from the Hallmark store.. I chose an orange stuffed doggy.. and when I gave it to him, he liked it but then asked me if I would like to keep it for him.. and I've had it ever since.. My dad died whenI was 9 and maybe that's why I had it and loved it for so long.. not sure, but it's been through so much.. sewed together over and over..
I STILL have it!!! It sits next to my bed.. and it's terrifying lol.. it's got an eyeball missing and the ears are all weird and it looks like it's been through some life.. But my kids know it and love that I still have mine..
His name is "Stanley Pee Dog".. I don't know why.. I don't know when I named him.. I'm pretty sure my dad named him.. and now in hindsight, I think that the Pee, was supposed to be an initial .. not pee..

i would suggest to have a faster ajax dropdown
without completely refreshing the whole page
when you click the CLAIM AND HANDLE REPORT button.
when you click the "claim and handle report" button it takes about 3seconds to finished.
thats very waste of time especially if you have 50+ of REPORTS to handle.
i suggest to have AJAX style, when you click the button,
it shows the choices at instant.
no more 3 seconds of waiting for the choices to show...
better yet it will happen in the same page, drop down
also right below the TOPICS of report.
no refreshing of the whole page needed.

A few months ago I really hit it off with this girl. Things were going more than great for about a month and half. Then we both finally realized we might make a good match and I asked her out. Unfortunately, a few days later I got the "lets just be friends" talk but I think I know what brought it on. It has been couple years since I've even attempted a relationship, simply because I've been focused on me. I am a very independent person and I just haven't found the need to have a girlfriend. She asked if I had been with anyone and I told her that I hadn't. As far as I was concerned, I was simply telling the truth. Now I didn't tell her this but since its been a long time for me, I don't have the sexual confidence I used too and I definitely think she picked up on it. We've been friends for a few months now and I want to try again. I want to show her that I am a confident, virile man, but I don't want to freak her out. What's the best way to do it?
How do I show her I am a confident man?

Crab trappers in Collier County, Florida are alarmed at news that the South American Bocourt crab (Callinectes bocourti) has been discovered in Fakahatchee Bay. According to this story at NBC2 News, catches of stone crab (Menippe mercenaria) are already down, making trappers wonder what impact the introduction of another crab species will have. Biologists are concerned that the species may compete with its native congener, the blue crab C. sapidus. Apparently the Bocourt crab was discovered in back January, but just recently reported.

Beautiful bright luggage. No trouble finding your luggage at claim site. Great buy!!! Have gone on several trips and they have held up well with the gorillas at the airport. Would buy this brand again.Read More
Love Love Love
This has to be my favorite suitcase not only for it's easy to spot print but the durability during international and domestic travel. ✈ I would buy again and recommend. Has held up beautifully over 3 years.Read More
Well it made it almost 3 years
Beautiful light weight bag. The design did get banged up over time at airports etc but so easy to locate!. I had no problem with the wheels Unfortunately the pull handle broke off as I was pulling it through an airport a few weeks ago. I may buy another as I love the design and there are now more colors available Also, the inside zippers for the separate compartment broke during year 1. The handle was the last thing I thought would break. All good things comes to an end I guessRead More

Weigh Ease
This bag is great! It's lightweight and allowed me to use more of the 50 lb. airline limit for my clothing instead of the bag. It is the easiest bag to find at the airport; the bright colors catch everyone's attention. I can't believe how many people asked where I'd purchased the bag before I could leave the airport. The only thing that could improve the bag is more interior pockets and a luggage tag. I've used it for one coast-to-coast trip and plan to take it to Europe next.Read More
Eye Catching
I have lots of luggage; this is by far my favorite piece. The wild design is easy to see; therefore, easy to find at the airport luggage belt. Very roomy. The spin design is great. Can't say enough good things about this luggage. I had luggage delivered to my work and everyone I work with had to roll it around the floor and say they too want to order this same design. My 23 year old daughter is begging me to let her take it to Rome...:)Read More
Awesome and Roomy
This suitcase held everything that I needed and more! It holds so much more then you would think! It is super cute and easy to spot, spins like a dream and is well made. I love it!Read More
Fun and funky luggage!
My sister needed a piece of luggage for her graduation. I was looking for something that was fun and funky and that would... stand out in a crowd. I definitely found it here! She loves it. It's deep and has plenty of storage space. The hard shell is great in case she ever gets stuck in the rain while traveling. No worries that her entire wardrobe will be soaked by the time she gets into the airport! The colors are bright and vibrant. It really is a fun suitcase!Read More
Beautiful piece
I bought two of these luggages, one in 25-inch and one in 29-inch. They are really eyecatchers, so easy to spot at baggage claim. I suggested them in a fashion forum and wondered if that's one of the reasons caused the item sold out.Read More

The Big Bad W.O.L.F Machine
Yes. It was a fun listen and took about an hour :) Great distraction for a rainy day! I hope the author writes more stories with Elias as he continues his adventures! I adore the world this story is set in and hope to revisit it again and again! Both new stories and old :)
The Hansel and Gretel moment was totally THE BEST! Hehe
Jason Davidson did a good job conveying all the different characters and their personalities but I have to say my favorite character was Elias. He was, by far, the most interesting character! Brave and loyal and unable to be cowed, he was an inspiration both to the reader and all the other protagonists in the book :)
This series does not need to be listened to (or read) in order as it consists of stories just based in the same world and not necessarily connected to each other via plot or storyline. This is the first book based in this world. I can't wait to listen to more!
The Hamm brother are trying to make a new life for themselves as pig farmers in Kansas. Far from the city, and all its distractions, getting along is more difficult than ever! Add the pressure of all living in a damp, rotting house filled with mildew, must and mice... How will they survive long enough to thrive? Deciding to build other houses seems to take a bit of pressure off. If only the sinister Otto von Rudolph wasn't pressuring them to sell their claim!
Will they ever learn to get along? Where did the twister coming from in the middle of winter? How is Otto involved? Should they give up and sell?
***This series is suitable for mature young adult through adult listeners (or readers) who enjoy steampunk fantasy fairytales with a dash of horror, romance (though there isn't really any real romance in this particular installment) & plenty of action and adventure :)

Good value for $$
We bought this chair as an accent piece for our front hallway. We are very happy with the overall look of this chair. It is not the highest of quality but you would never know by simply looking at it. It looks great in our hallway and matches very well. Assembly was easy . We had some issues with the legs being slightly uneven but don't let it deter you from buying. It is a very classy looking piece that is a good value. We recommend it!

When it comes to real and long-lasting beauty, we all know what an important role our diet has to play in achieving a healthy and naturally beautiful look. The better nourished and the less stressed our bodies are, the more that health will translate into a beautiful glow for all of the tissues which reflect our beauty: skin, hair, nails and so on. This is why our list of super foods for beautiful hair is one of the most useful things you'll find around the internet. When it comes to hair in particular, achieving and maintaining a beautiful and healthy state is particularly tricky if not downright difficult, since this tissue cannot benefit as much as skin from direct hydration and it is also the most exposed to harmful weather and environmental factors. This is why most women (or the men who let their hair grow) experience difficulties achieving long hair that still looks blooming, resigning themselves to keeping it short.
But there's no need to give up or to invest in a lot of expensive and artificial beauty products available in high-end stores in order to make your hair thicker and shinier. After all, according to their reviews, this kind of solution doesn't even work, anyway, on the long term, since the treatment only targets the effects of malnourishment and dehydration on the hair itself, but does not solve the cause for which your hair got into a bad shape in the first place. Anyway, even if you would like a hydrating mask to soften your hair instantly and give it a nice shimmer, the best thing to do is to apply some natural hair masks instead made of less invasive ingredients. But the real secret of all those beauties with gorgeous hair is a balanced and healthy diet which feeds their hair as well. Since none of us can support a super-healthy diet at all times, what remains to be done is to make sure the diet we have is at least smart. In this case, this means including the super foods for beautiful hair in your meals and snacks as often as possible.
- Quinoa – This highly praised grain is not only chock-full of protein, which is essential for beautiful hair (consider that your strands are made up of at least 20% protein), but it's also full of B vitamins, folic acid and biotin, which are again essential to the health of your hair. When these substances are lacking from your diet, your body reacts by losing hair in order to maintain the balance, which is why B supplements are the most effective hair fall remedy. Eat a serving of quinoa 3 times a week and the state of your hair and overall health will improve significantly.
- Red bell peppers – These are one of nature's best sources of vitamin C as far as veggies are concerned, and also one of the easiest to add to almost any dish you plan on eating. The high vitamin C content makes the peppers especially valuable to both your skin and your hair, since it triggers the body's production of collagen, an essential substance for beautiful skin and hair. Also, vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron from the foods you eat, and with a low iron level, hair fall occurs, which means this vitamin is gold for your hair in two ways rather than just one.
- Oranges and grapefruit – For the same reasons as bell peppers, citrus fruits (and especially these two) are a chock-load of vitamin C, therefore essential for beautiful hair and skin. Moreover, oranges also contain vitamin A, which makes your hair better nourished and less sensitive to the harmful effects of the weather.
- Almonds – In the nut department, almonds are the best thing which will ever happen to your hair and your nails, along with the sensitive areas of your skin, such as lips or elbows and knees. The almond oil contained in just one handful of almonds contains enough vitamin E and A to nourish your hair and nails from the inside for a whole week! Which, of course, does not mean you should stop having almonds after you reach this quota of one handful per week: the more almonds you include in your meals, the better will your hair and skin look.
- Mushrooms – The proteins contained in mushrooms are light and easy to absorb by your digestive system, but essential to the beauty of your hair. If you also take into account the high levels of B vitamins, selenium, potassium and iron which mushrooms contain, it will become clearer why they are considered one of the best super foods for beautiful hair. Try eating a generous serving of mushrooms as often as three times per week for best results.
- Kale – This is probably a super food for basically any part of your body, not just the hair, and it has been so intensely praised by health food mediums lately that you may roll your eyes as soon as you see its name. Yes, we won't deny that the kale mania is one of the ongoing fads of the moment, but that doesn't mean this green leaf isn't as miraculously healthy as it promises to be, and your hair could especially benefit from all the Vitamin C and Vitamin A in it. In addition to these two essential vitamins, kale also contains copper, which is an essential mineral for collagen production.
- Olive oil – One of the best vegetable fats you could possibly eat, olive oil is not only directly involved in making your hair softer and shinier (like any good quality fat you ingest), but it's also full of vitamin E and antioxidants, which prevent the damage your hair risks daily from heat styling, environmental factors and so on. In addition to all that, olive oil has been linked to a decrease in DTH hormones, which cause the thinning of your hair, so a good dose of olive oil in your meals works on all fronts to keep your hair beautiful.
- Greek yogurt – One of nature's best sources of protein (as high as 20 grams in an 6 ounce container, if you can imagine) and healthy fats (yes, butter is a very healthy fat, in spite of the bad rap it got a couple of decades ago), Greek yogurt is the only snack you should have from now on between meals, if you want a healthy digestive system and a naturally beautiful hair. Besides the precious proteins and fat, this yogurt also contains lactic acid, which your hair, skin and nails then use for exfoliating, moisturizing and promoting cell growth and regeneration.
- Coconut – Coconut pulp, coconut milk and coconut oil are all very good sources of vitamins A and E for your hair, as well as healthy proteins and minerals which your hair needs in order to grow. The high content of healthy fats in coconut oil also deeply nourish your hair, making it stronger and shinier. Curly hair can benefit from coconut oil particularly well, since it's a type of hair more difficultly maintained.
- Blueberries – One of the best known super foods, rumored to help every last bit of your body, blueberries are obviously very good for your hair as well. Not only do these tiny fruit contain a lot of vitamins and energize you for the whole day, but the high amount of antioxidants they contain protect all of your tissues from aging, making them the ideal food for your hair, skin and nails.
- Salmon – One of the best sources of protein as far as meat is concerned, salmon helps your hair maintain its health not only though these high levels of good protein, but also through its high levels of good fats and fatty acids.
- Walnuts – The second best nut source of vitamin E for your hair, right after almonds, walnuts also contain omega 3 fatty acids (just like salmon), making them as valuable as gold for your hair. If you eat a serving of walnuts 2 to 3 times a week, your hair will become visibly shinier and softer, as well as less prone to falling out.
- Sweet potatoes – One of the best vegetables you could eat, sweet potatoes should permanently replace regular potatoes in your diet. They are chock-full of vitamin A and C (even more so than oranges, for example), and they also contain beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant. All this means it's one of the best foods to fight the aging of your tissues, which makes them the ideal dinner for beautiful hair and skin.
- Spinach – Another great leafy green in addition to kale, spinach should definitely be a regular part of your diet if you want to see your hair blooming with beauty from the inside out. The high levels of iron contained by spinach aren't the only thing that will make your hair grow stronger and more beautiful: in addition to that, the delicious leaves also contain lutein, vitamins B, C and E, as well as essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium and even omega 3 fatty acids (the kind usually contained by fatty fish such as salmon). To reap the full benefits of spinach, try to eat it raw, in the form of baby spinach salad, as often as 3 times per week.
- Kiwis – Another super combo of high levels of vitamin C and high levels of antioxidants, the tart green fruit can do wonders for your hair if you eat a serving at least once a week. Your nails and your skin will benefit from the magical cocktail as well, so don't be shy and get yourself a second helping if you feel like it.
In addition to eating these super foods for beautiful hair as often as possible, try to avoid going to the salon to color or perm up your hair, and opt for natural colors instead (such as red henna for a natural red, or dark henna for black-haired women), as they are less stressful and invasive than artificial dye. (You can find henna at any pharmacy or natural product store, where it tends to be available in a generous supply.) Give your hair a break and it will thank you by growing stronger and healthier than ever. Once you start supplementing your diet with the super foods for beautiful hair presented above, you will begin noticing the results as soon as within two or three months. If you've always dreamed about having long and gorgeous hair but extensions seemed too over the top, now the length you wanted will be easier to achieve than ever.
