What We Offer
We take great pride in having become the country's leading retailer of new and restored high-end pianos. We carry complete lines of new, used and rebuilt pianos.

Why the Piano Retailer You Choose is Important
In buying a piano, the sound, touch and look of a piano and the reputation of the manufacturer are clearly important considerations. The quality of the piano dealer can be just as important. The highest quality dealership provides truly objective guidance in piano choice, has a large selection of inventory and assures that pianos are properly prepped and in the best possible condition, provides excellent after-sale service, and prices its pianos fairly. It is important to be able to count on the dealership being there for the long term:
With many piano dealers suffering and falling by the wayside over the past couple of years, it is especially important to work with a retailer, such as Faust Harrison Pianos that is rock-solid.

CSS Design: Custom Underlines
66 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
AWESOME. You guys are geniuses!
Just a quick note that the final—animated—example in the article works fine in Safari 1.2 (released around Feb 3).
Just wanted to let you know that the animated rollover works fine in he new version of Safari (1.2).
Of course it's a hack; this trick emulates text-decoration behaviour by using a background-image technique. Using band-aid to glue the leg of your glasses to the lense may be aesthetically pleasing, fully functional, even done on purpose, but it's still a hack.
On a more serious note, this method has the potential for accessibility problems, because some people may be using a CSS-enabled graphical browser with image-loading switched off. Make sure your fake underline is not the only hint that some text represents a hyperlink.
We have now heard from those who say the method shown in this article is a hack, and from others (including your humble correspondent) who say it is not.
Both views have been aired. Nothing new is to be gained from continued arguments of the "yes it is, no it isn't" variety.
We respectfully ask that posts going forward discuss aspects of the article other than whether it is, or is not, a hack.
Future comments limited to whether or not the poster considers the method a hack will be deleted.
Future comments on just about anything else to do with the article are welcomed and will be enjoyed.
As mentioned, an ALA issue in the near future will consider the "CSS hacks" topic and provide a forum for your views on that subject.
Meanwhile, there are more fruitful fields to till in response to "Custom Underlines."

Agreed! Weight, color, or both should also be used, as they are here at ALA. Bolding is one common method of indicating that text is a hyperlink; color choice is another. (Bolding helps those who cannot distinguish between colors.)
Most ALA readers know this, but it deserves to be said as a reminder.
Web design, especially as it pertains to CSS is very much like OZ….whoops that was another article … I meant to say very much like a Harley Davidson. Both are easily customizable, and if done with taste and flair can create a beautiful piece of art.
Take for example a new Harley. You can buy one factory spec, drive it off the lot, never do a thing to it (other than regular maintenance) and it will always be exactly what it is…a Harley Davidson motor cycle. On the other hand, you can buy a new Harley, drive it home, break out the wrenches, get some feedback from other Harley enthusiasts and then go to work customizing/personalizing your ride.
The same could be said for a web site. It can be built to factory spec (in this case W3C specifications), never do a thing to it (other than regular updates) and it will always be exactly what it is supposed to be…an accessible no nonsense web site. On the other hand, you can build your new site, break out the any one of the many wonderful CSS manuals (Eric Meyer, Monsieur Zeldman), get some feed back from other CSS/design enthusiasts and then go to work customizing/personalizing your site.
Using an image as an hover underline (as long as it's tasteful) is no different than putting a killer set of aluminum wheels on a brand spanking new Harley Davidson Softail. It's called customization. And that's a good thing….when done properly. Unless of course your a dick-head scooter boy and all of this is completely foreign to you.
Now a "Hack" on the other hand would be akin to putting a Kawasaki front end on a Harley and trying to make it fit. That would be a Hack. But only people who knew what they were talking about would get that. Any body else would be…well…just a scooter boy. And that's OK too. Just don't come to a site that is clearly devoted to people who study this shit for breakfast and try and tell them what they are doing is a hack. It's not a hack…it's customization.
I say well done Stuart. Thanks for sharing.
Well spoken. To wax a bit hippie, the web is about freedom. If it takes a bit of creative programming to pursue this freedom, then so be it. Most of us got into the computer foray because we like to tackle problems and solve them in creative ways, even if that requires some intersting contortions and purposeful misapplication of code. It seems that a great deal of the discussion posters are concerned with standards compliance, and that's fine. Just understand that not everyone shares your opinion.
The bit of fun patiently explained in the article used valid HTML and valid CSS, subjects of mutual interest. Fun should be shared and the author and ALA did exactly that.
Something first created as amusement often finds itself applied to serious, unforeseen purposes.
I have to thank that person who refered to this valuable ALA resource as an "idiot magnet." Until I read that statement, I was blissfully unaware of its truth, at least in one case.
Stuart R. wrote. "Blink was reported to cause some people with epilepsy to have seisures. I think it's possible that some animated gif files could produce the same effect."
It's highly unlikely that a small piece of blinking text would cause a seizure, though larger animated GIFs and Flash definitely could. I think the accessibility recommendations against blink were more targeted at people with extreme cases of ADD. The distraction of constantly blinking text could keep some readers from absorbing the content, though I don't think the animated example would cause a problem because it only affects the focused area anyway. There is also inconsistency in the browser implementation of blink.
Of course, this all depends on the developer's use of animation and blinking elements. Like all things it can ber used to benefit, or it can be abused.
and a bag of chips.
It's great that the boundaries of using CSS are constantly pushed further. However, I am not particularly thrilled by this technique. The effect is rather cheesy.
Nice article! But…
I've experimented with animated backgrounds on hyperlinks, but decided not to use it in practice because it causes an irritating flickering effect on the cursor in IE/WIN.
I wish I had given this one a little more thought before posting. I agree with what CM Harrington said in reply to my first post. Further thoughts on hacks will be saved for a later discussion.
To get on with this discussion: I think it would be good if "background-image" could treat line elements and block elements differently, so that each line in a line element could count as a separate element, allowing background-image settings to repeat from line to line – wrap, in other words.
This would require additions to the CSS language, of course, and I haven't thought about it nearly enough to give any suggestions.
While "text-decoration: underline" could be extended to something like "text-decoration: underline url(image.gif)", "background-image" has already got a lot more options for image rendering than underline, overline and strike-through. Still, no harm in having two methods.
Finally, I want to thank Dante for showing me that I'm not the only one to hit the submit button too soon. :)
While "text-decoration: underline" could be extended to something like "text-decoration: underline url(image.gif)",
I am surprised that it doesn't do that, considering the W3C decided to allow arbitrary bullets in lists. It seems like a natural extension.
The nice thing about browsers finally attempting to conform to W3C standards, is that well-developed rules will be implemented in browsers at a quicker pace. The sooner that happens, the sooner the new rules become viable choices for public/mass deployment.
Of course, IE won't be updated for 2+ years, but I can't do anything about that.
Apologies for the spelling errors in my previous posts. I hate it when I do that.
I noticed a variation of this technique in the http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=050/050.css Zen Garden submission.
Very cool. One more thing to add to the toolbox.
I guess this is an obvious solution, using backgrounds, if the need is desperate. But now that someone has produced such a nice article about it, we have another path for added grooviness. Good stuff.
Great, now Safari 1.2 shows animated underline! :]
(Oh, really useful site, compliments)
The background image property can artfully enhance hyperlinks.
However, as much as I would like to and have tried to incorporate the technique, it actually makes hyperlinks worse. That is because in Internet Explorer 6.0 the cursor periodically changes to an hourglass while hovering over links. Until there is a solution, any artistry achieved loses its point due to the confusion brought by the hourglass effect.
I highly enjoy these guided demos – this one once again struck me as very easy to follow, taking each styling step one at a time. Relaxing to read during a coffee break from some head-scratching coding issues :)
One thing I'd appreciate and therefore note here as a suggestion:
I am very much for cross-browser, forward-compatible coding, but as we do live in the present, it would be very practical for articles like this to include more explicit data about which browsers do a good job rendering the presented matter and which ones don't.
Yes, it WAS good for me ;) thanks!
How fun!
Thinking of a way to implement this on a site that could get away with it, I thought it might be cool to have a subtle graphic appear as a background rather than an underline on hover.
Of course, after messing with it for a few minutes, I decided the subtle graphic is too subtle, and the bright one is too distracting. However, if someone would like to experiment with it, here are the changes:
a {
text-decoration: none;
white-space: nowrap;
a:hover {
background: #FF0 url(flower.gif) repeat-x 100% 50%;
There's no padding, and the vertical position is changed to 50% (had to use %, not px and not center). Not sure how this will hold up, but it works in Windows – Opera 7.23, IE 6.0, and NN 7.1.
Here's a simple double underliner using border only:
u {border-bottom: 0.075em solid; line-height: 107.5%}
(or use a, u.double, etc). The color is inherited, so it matches the text, and the underline scales well with text zoom and font changes (at least in Mozilla).
The Bead Man
I've found on my site that it can get a bit dodgy.. underlines staying put after the mouse has left etc.
Anything I can do to improve performance?
I'm waiting for my new Mac to arrive (my first one)… then I will finally be able to test for Safari! :-) I did test with the new Mozilla Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ ) last night and that looked good.
you can see my problem here, and with the explorer. No mozilla.
The background eat the text.
¿How can I control the space between the background image respectthe text?
Sorry for my english
You can control the spacing between the background image and the text by changing the padding. Try padding-bottom: 6px;
I general problem I have with this example and most examples of sprucing up links is that I can never get them to play nice with img links.
For example, if I have
a { border-bottom: 2px solid orange }
a:hover { border-bottom: 2px dotted orange }
This is fine for all the links, and far nicer than the boring unerline, which I wlays find hugs the word too closely. An underline is simply a border under the word in essence anyhow. The problem comes with images such as
This will displays the borders, which looks bad. Solved,
a img { border-bottom: none }
Only you can't do this for the hover!!!
a:hover img { border-bottom: none }
does not seem valid. So I just use underlines and leave the rest be until non-text links are easier.
If you could show me how to do this (rollover effect in particular) in place of a bullet on an unordered list-turned-horizontal nav, I'd be yours forever.
I just wanted to update any Safari 1.2 users out there that the animated underlines appear to work fine. The animation no longer stops after the first frame
Tested on Mac OS 10.3/ Safari 1.2
I hate it when you want an dashed underline that takes up the whole width of the page. I hate using images as well. Therefore I devised the Dante Hack:
border: 1px dashed #eee;
width: 1em;
white-space: nowrap;
Now the dashed underline will go only as far as the text does, and you don't have to use images. The width is important; make sure it's really small.
i like this, but don't know if i will use it
Hey, this isn't the blinking underline all over again. Applying most of the code to a span then this allows me to use a very small image as an underline for so many elements such as tables, so quick and esay.
I Love it, what's wrong with a wink anyway
On the related subject of creating custom hyperlinks, I wonder if anyone knows a fix for the following problem.
Say, for example, that you have just entered a username and password in some form fields to login to a website.
Now, when you click on the submit button, a "box" of dotted lines appears inside the submit button. But it doesn't stop there. Any hyperlink to be clicked now retains these pesky dots, unless a new window is open and closed (e.g., try a search on ALA, and then click on a link to see the borders). These dots can make a mess out of the appearance of some hyperlinks.
Does anyone know a good work-around for this?
The article is very interesting. I believe CSS Design has a great future though it can't solve all the problems yet and absolutely replace table design.
So this technique is pretty cool. Has anyone taken a look at it in IE on a PC. I'm running XP Pro and using IE 6.0.2 for Q&A purposes. It seems that the lines that wrap lose all text-decoration all together.
Any thoughts on this?
I failed to mention the site I was viewing.

This was seen by some as "Fairness Doctrine 2.0." Left and Right alike knew what a chilling effect this would have on newsrooms. The study techniques involved were incredibly invasive, researching specific newsroom content. Clearly the outcry over this has the Commission backing off; but it likely wouldn't have passed constitutional muster and the FCC really doesn't want one of its policies losing at the Supreme Court.
And it would have gotten there because most media companies would have refused to comply.

I'm an exceedingly fair person…
…and, it's wonderful that this man has such a glowing account of friends and he's been given the opportunity to show that he's supposedly not a "racist"…. but the fact of the matter is, he profiled Trayvon Martin. Whether he did that because he was black or not, he profiled Trayvon Martin and, attempted to restrain another person, without any proof or a crime being committed at the time or without witnessing any proof of a crime. He attempted to restrain a person without having been trained to do so and without that really being what he was asked to do. This suspicious behaviour that Zimmerman witnessed was caused by himself, as he was following Trayvon and he claimed that these burglars, "always get away", when the guy that caused a lot of this suspicion in Zimmerman's mind is, in fact, back in jail.
Zimmerman's mental state, in this piece, clearly indicates that he was frustrated and felt that nothing was being done with regard to the crime in the neighbourhood, so he chose to take matters into his own hands. He was the one pushing for the neighbourhood watch, and I've been at many of those kinds of meetings. The first question you ask someone that wants to put a committee or subgroup together or wants to take some action, is to ask if the person making the request wants to step up and volunteer to head the group. He was clearly in a vigilante state, and he was very much in a state of mind where he wanted people to be detained or arrested prior to an actual crime being committed or without actual proof of a crime. I'm not saying that a part of that may or may not be justified, but it's also the wrong kind of attitude to have as the person who heads the neighbourhood watch. If anyone should have been on the side of local law enforcement, it should have been him.
And, I'm sorry, but bottom of the line is… you're pretty much saying he can't be a racist, because he has this type of background and it's a mixed background. A lot of people hate where they come from… (number one). Number two, he judged a person based on the colour of his skin. He associated Trayvon Martin with a stereotype. He prejudged him, which is prejudice, and his judgment caused Trayvon Martin's death.
A good attorney can make an EXCELLENT case for Murder Two with this story presented as is. I, personally believe that what I've seen of the evidence (not what is being presented in a court of law, nor what I'm asked to review as a jurist) shows Zimmerman guilty of manslaughter. Because, at the end of the day… we can't have people getting frustrated with crime in their area and killing their neighbours. At every step of the way, George Zimmerman disregarded local law enforcement, from carrying a fire arm with him while on neighbourhood watch, to not respecting the person on the phone's request that he not engage or follow Trayvon Martin, to not discussing his frustrations with what he felt were local law enforcement's inactions or slow reactions. "They always get away," is a comment just as revealing about how he felt about local law enforcement as those perpetrating the crimes. He felt he could and would do better than them, and so he made a choice. He made a choice to chase down someone he viewed was suspicious, based on the colour of his skin. That is the very definition of racism.
I'm sorry, but if I had any doubts at all about George Zimmerman before, his family trying to sell me on what a wonderful man he is negated them. Like I said, I'm exceedingly fair… and if someone can present evidence that shows that Zimmerman had honestly, taken steps to express his frustrations prior to that night, that's something I'm willing to look at. Otherwise, it very much looks like Zimmerman wanted to be a cop and wanted to do everything he could to be a cop, when he didn't have the training to be a cop and was not wearing a badge. There are too many people in this country that think it's acceptable to carry on in this kind of manner and, I think if George Zimmerman gets acquitted, that will only compound the problem.

Vet Advice: Relief for Your Dog's Itchy Skin
This article first appeared in The Bark,
Issue 46: Jan/Feb 2008
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Irish | May 22 2013 | Permalink
I also wanted to say/ask if anyone else noticed this..my dog is horribly itchy. I use half a benadryl pill for him like vet told me. have him on vet approved diet but he continues to be so itchy it's making us both crazy. What I think I have discovered is, he grooms himself like a cat, all day long, meaning licking...and his fur then is sticky & gross and I wonder if this is what is making him itch? (his sticky saliva in his fur)

It could. If your dog's skin is wet from the licking all the time, he could develop "moist dermatitus" or basically a fungal, yeast type infection. But, the thing to do is first find out why he grooms himself this way. It could be an underlying issue..allergy..etc. Take him to the vet if you haven't already. Then, go from there.
All for all these itchy dogs, I also believe most low and mid-priced brands are full of junk. Even some of the expensive brands. You have to check and be sure that the first ingredient is real meat protein..not corn meal or other grain type meal. With the recent problems with the wrong ingredients turning up in dog foods at all price levels due to purchasing some ingredients from China and receiving back ingredients not suitable for any kind of consumption, we have to be even more careful. Most dog food companies use similar suppliers for their ingredients and we have already had two major problems with China resulting in wide spread problems and deaths of pets who ate the affected food.
I think taking a simple, natural approach to feeding our dogs is better. Like some have mentioned, a raw foods diet, or using chicken, beef, turkey etc. combined with rice, veggies and some fruits for example. We have to do our research though as we want our percentages of protein, carbs, fats..etc to be right.
There also could be new factors in our environment that are negatively effecting our pets. There is not much we can do about the changing environment but to try to learn as much about it as possible in order to address the issues it is causing. We still don't know why all the bees have been disappearing...though there are lots of ideas. Sometimes I think mother nature has just had enough of human's adversely effecting and controlling the environment.
I'm here because I have an itchy dog too. No fleas..just lots of itching. I'm in the process of trying to get this sorted as well.

You might be bathing too much, also dogs should not eat people food all the time it may cause problems
Submitted by Sam | September 14 2014 | Permalink
What type of table food? And less bathing might help build his natural oils. Oatmeal in the bath ( in a sick you squeeze out to contain mess) and things like witch hazel tee tree oil, mint etc sprayed onto his fur after a bath and brush gently into to skin might help. But the type of food he eats is a big factor so let me know :)

My dog suffered terribly from itching. The vet gave a negative skin scraping test & drugged him up with antibiotics, allergy meds and steroids. He started tearing himself up just came back when they were gone. I had to figure it out on my own. I learned that a negative scrapings are common and that mites are epidemic. I don't know what type of parasite he had so I got a natural mite dip that kils all mites online. I think it was called Mite Avenge. Natural is the way to go on dog that is already sick. Maybe this will help someone else.

Our two year old Maltese Shih Tzu cross has itchy skin and red rings around his eyes, he constantly scratches and chews all over himself. We took him to the Vet and he said he has a food allergy and/or other allergens but is very expensive to find what food and/or other allergens he may have. We have changed his dry food to Kirkland chicken, as through research we found it to be one of the top rated dry foods. The biggest problem with dry food is the fillers , corn being the worst by far. We cannot digest it and neither can dogs or most other animals,also some of the other fillers are absolutely sickening. Read the labels and if one of the first five ingredients is corn do NOT buy it. Since changing to Kirkland dry dog food his scratching and red rings have subsided but he still has bouts and we give him half a benadryl 25mg tablet at night. The Vet also gave us a prescription of prednisone 5mg cut in half every 12 hours as needed for really bad flares to help relieve the awful itching. People need to read all labels as there are a lot of bad stuff in food and treats for your pets as the saying goes "if you can't pronounce dont eat it" same goes for your pet. It really does not cost much more to buy really good food for your pet, considering the cost of vets and other meds if you feed them CRAP.

Our Maltese was doing the same exact thing! Then someone told me it was maybe a grain allergy. I switched him to Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet, grain free. It took a full year of feeding him only this, but he has stopped chewing and itching and his tear stains have completely disappeared. Also I have heard yeast too and to only feed Raw diet, but we haven't gone to that......yet:) good luck!

I have a 2 yr. old Blue Nose Pit Bull with food and environmental allergies. I finally spent almost $500 for the allergy testing after $1900 in vet bills for chronic ear infections, and skin bumps, rash.
Even after finding out what he is allergic to, he still has outbreaks. I started doing research online and began giving him daily 2 Zyrtecs, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar in his water, Digestive Enzymes with Pro/Prebiotics and Omega 3 fish oil. So far, so good!
It is a lot better for him than the prescribed steroids and antibiotics.

Thank you so much for advice. We have 5 dogs of our own & foster for local humane society. We use 3 teaspoons Apple Cider per gallon of water for their drinking water for flea deterrent. It seems to help. They won't drink tap water anymore. We have 2 w/itchy skin & trying to find home remedy instead of steroids & antibiotics. Again, thanks for your reply.

Old fashion pine tar soap found at most health food stores may help. It not toxic derived from natural ingredients. It costs about 4 dollars for one bar but it is rock hard soap and goes a long way. It may not cure the problem but will help with the itching and promote healing. My family has used it for years on ourselves and pets. Its a icky brown color and smells a little strange but really saves the day when it comes to relief. Only warning is as always do not get it into your eyes. The only soap safe for eyes is Johnson's no tears baby shampoo. I use a very small drop on a wet warm cloth to clean my dogs eyes. I also do the same thing to remove makeup from my eyes. It really works and does not hurt or harm your eyes. Good Luck.

I have spent a lot of money in the past on pets with allergies & I can't do that anymore. I researched online about home remedies and then went out to get Epsom salts, olive oil, benadryl capsules and apple cider vinegar. I tested the apple cider vinegar on some areas. I put it in a spray bottle & got a cotton ball - saturated it & I really saturated it and massaged it right into my dogs skin skin. Also I sprayed all four paws and lower legs and hiney. Again very saturated. The first relief he has had has come from Apple Cidar Vinegar $2.80 for a big bottle! It's a no name brand - not toxic and I'll need to reapply it a few times, but he finally stopped scratching non-stop and slept for a couple of hours. This first round of relief has lasted about 4 hours. I don't know if its the cure - but it's looking good!! Later I put him in the tub with room temperature - cool water that was 1/2 water and 1/2 apple cider vinegar with a little bit of olive oil. For 10 minutes I just kept pouring it over his back...everywhere but his face of course. I did use a cotton ball to apply it to his ears with the AC Vinegar. His areas that he had scratched raw are nicely healing. I apply the apple cidar vinegar to his paws in the morning. I only use the Benadryl if its bad at night. Good luck!

I own a pitbull/mastiff mix and when I adopted him I later found out that he was allergic to EVERYTHING. Make sure that you take take them off of grains. Also don't forget chickens eat grain. Once I quit giving him chicken his skin has cleared up exponentially! Hope this helps!

I have a small to medium size dog that we got from a friend. Not sure what breed he is he's maybe 15 lbs long wiry hair that we keep trimmed. We live in the desert , dry, windy, and hot. Anyways he's constantly scratching his face to the point his eye has a cut near the corner. I try to keep it clean, he's an outside dog so that hard but I bring him in to clean it every few days. My question is, is it safe after I clean it to put a triple antibiotic ointment on it so it doesn't get infected??

Your dog's itchiness could be from being outside. For one thing a dog that small needs to be indoors. They are lonely outside. Dogs are social animals. If a dog is bored they will scratch at themselves or dig holes etc. Bring your dog inside and his health will improve.

It sounds as if those are flea bites, which can cause flea dermatitis on both humans and dogs. Try filling a spray bottle halfway with either apple cider vinegar or white vinegar then fill it up the rest of the way with water. Once a day, spray your dog with the solution making sure to wet the skin. Fleas hate vinegar and it should help to relieve some itching.

My lab has been suffering from dry skin since he was 5mths old and he is now 15mths. I went to the vet and they recommended changing dog food to something with better product which I did. They also said a antihistamine, which I did for awhile every few days no result. He sheds more than I have ever seen for his type plus I can slightly tug and clumps and clumps come out but still tons there. This been after I just brushed him. He scratches almost every few minutes. His skin doesn't have flakes but during the fall, it looks snowy (he has black fur). During the summer its so bad, he is chewing off patches. I have also used oatmeal shampoo once a month. Nothing, vet didn't seem too concerned but I need to make him itch less, I am sure it would allow both of us to sleep and his life easier.

Alisha - I too just adopted a rescue dog. Her skin was beat red and she did nothing but scratch and bite her skin. To the point where she was raw and missing fur. My vet put her immediately on a steroid regiment which worked amazingly but now that she is dwindling the dosage, the scratching and biting is coming back. I am going to try different things- if something works I will let you know!

both of my dogs have all the same symptoms. Took her to the vet. SAid it could be changing food or diet. My dad has been changing foods a lot. oatmeal shampoo didn't help. Vet said you could try adding cooking oil to our food. I'm assuming the dry food, but I'm also going to mix wet food in with the dry. and we have per allergy pills we've been giving them that seem to work for a while. I'm thinking of trying to mix conditioner with/water and see if that helps

I would try rinsing your dog with water instead of conditioner.My dog had the itchies all last summer.I must have dried her skin out with shampoo and flea stuff.Anyway all winter I never shampooed her just rinsed her and everything was great I thought she must have out grown the itchiness.But then I bathed her with people shampoo and conditioner the stuff I use and the itchiness came back.I use Panteen but I think there must be to much perfume or something in the shampoo and conditioner so I am going back to just rinsing her with tepid water.good luck
Submitted by Veronica | July 13 2014 | Permalink
Charlene, you should *never* use people shampoo/conditioner on cats or dogs. Why? Because their skin has fewer layers than humans, making them more sensitive. You should only use products made for dogs on dogs.
I was a hairdresser and shampoo is shampoo it is all made with sodium laurel sulphite and perfumes and emulsifiers can't see it making allot of difference the science says it is bassically the same thing
Submitted by PJ | July 13 2014 | Permalink
Oh gosh.. don't ever use a shampoo nor conditioner that has any perfume/scent EVER on your dog! The poor dog has allergies so why exacerbate his/her condition?
I would also remove ALL products from the house that are scented.. Remove ALL air fresheners(they are toxic to humans as well), stop all use of fabric softeners(toxic as well...are natural unscented ones out there.. for example: Seventh Generation's).
Also, stop all use of chemical scented floor cleaners. Use natural plant based dish detergent(unscented) for dishes, floors, etc. You can also use Mule Team Borax for laundry, clothes, etc. Also, switch to a natural unscented laundry detergent.
Throw out all perfumes, scented hair sprays, body lotions, and bar soaps.. can switch to a more natural unscented bar soap.
Your dog will be healthier and so will you.
The same thing happened to me with the panteen shampoo.I am on here again because ever since I shampooed her I can't stop the itchy s I tried water and calomine lotion in a spray bottle but leaves hair feeling funny and didn't stop the itching .Did you find anything that worked.

Massage pure coconut oil into their skin. I have done it for both of my Bulldogs. No more scratching or raw, flaking skin. It's completely natural, inexpensive and NO DRUGS! And the best part is it's pretty much instant relieve for them.
One time when I was packbacking through central america I noticed I had got some kinda crap bug in my hair and I was in a remote area so I used a can of raid on my hair wrap in a towel and then used coconut oil .It took the itchy s away and I was told that mites and bugs can't live on your hair or scalp with the oil on it.It work from personal experiance

Check your dog's food. I have had two dogs that I have had to switch to a certain diet because of allergens. Corn, wheat and chicken are all common allergens, and most dog foods have at least one of these ingredients, often more. My pups did the same thing, dry flaky skin and constantly scratching, to the point where they would get sores and their skin would smell even if they'd had a bath the day before. Once we got them on the right food, their skin started clearing up within a week. Also be careful of the treats you give them, as they may have the ingredients you are trying to avoid.

SURVEY QUESTION:What "out-of-market" teams are popular,in your area?
Here in Dolphin Territory,the following non-local teams(in no particular order) have strong support:Patriots,Cowboys,Packers,Steelers,Jets,Giants,and Raiders.
What teams thrive in your neck of the woods?
As I live in south Texas, it's Texans territory, but there is an unfortunately large population of Cowgirls fans. Then, of course, we have a number of Saints fans being so close to Louisiana. It's always entertaining cheering for my Saints amidst a bunch of Cowboys fans. They get worried when I can spout of as many if not more football stats than they can. We Saints fans in town have rallied together to form a rather large cheering section.

Wines from last week's lunch at the Alliance Francaise.
Wither Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2005 - Acidic. Has good sweetness provided by lots of ripe fruit on the palate. Candyish. Finishes long. Not too interesting. This was the only white wine we had.
Boukenhoutskloof Franschoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 - A pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Dry, gentle, lightish. Bordeaux-like. Leather and tobacco nuances as well. Good balance. A very forward style of wine for drinking now. Quite enjoyable.
Montgras Ninquen Colchagua Chile 2000 - High alcohol. Chocolate. Light, soft, sweet and slightly spicy. This wine has evolved nicely. Ready to drink now. Aside from the alcohol, very good.
Beaulieu Vineyard Tapestry Napa 1998 - Soft. Dry and savory. Quite tannic in the finish. A good wine but still has room to develop further.
Katnook Odyssey Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 - Sweet nose. Very young, primal tasting wine. Sweet, candied character. Too sweet for me. Quite tannic as well. Not for me.
Miguel Torres Viejas Vinas Manso de Velasco Cabernet Sauvignon Curico Chile 1998 - This had a leaky cork. Young, tannic, closed. Heavy. Not showing too well at lunch so it was hardly touched. I brought home the bottle and had it for dinner. By then it had opened up and the fruit was coming through. Quite enjoyable at dinner.
Chateau St. Jacques Bordeaux Superieur 2000 - The second wine of Chateau Siran whose owner has family and business ties to the Philippines. Dry, light, uncomplicated stuff. A quaffer at a friendly price but frankly uninteresting.
Penfolds Bin 707 1996 - My contribution to the lunch. Still youthful. Dry, tannic. Coffee aromas and flavors predominating. Slightly hot. Some mushroom character as well. Angular. Needs more time to soften the edges. Try again in 2 years

Updated through 9/17/14 - 10 games left for Cubs.
For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in next year's draft on top of their regular pick. The teams with the 10 worst records have their first round pick protected if they signed a qualified free agent this offseason.

That seems to be the growing sentiment by a number of folks upset about the passing of SB1070 - the new Arizona immigration law. The tie between the Diamondbacks and the law is that the owners of the Diamondbacks - the Kendrick's - are big contributors to the Arizona Republican party and the Republicans in power in Arizona are behind this new law.
That's a great article. I keep trying to temper my enthusiasm for Arrieta but with every start he seems like the real deal. Would be great to have a legit #2 to follow front line free agent pitcher. Something along the lines of Lester/Arrieta/Hendricks/Wood and who ever wins out/left standing from the muck of #5s.
Did Mattingly tell Greinke that someone named Ryan Kalish is batting behind Soler?
Ok. Thats not funny....
can't imagine the trip from South Bend (if they happen to be home) to Myrtle Beach is something they really need to expedite.
South Bend has airport to get players out faster
How does he have Kalish bunt in that situation??!!!! 1st inning. #5 hitter. No outs. Pitcher struggling. 2-0 lead runners on 1st 2nd. Lefty batter righty pitcher. Ridiculous.
Also Grienke covered that bunt better than I have EVER seen before. He was running in as part of his pitching motion. Amazing!
I've been there and, while I'm not an expert on minor league ballparks, I thought the facility was relatively new and modern. I think attendance was good. For us in the Chicago area, it's a pretty easy trip there to see the kid Cubs. The ballpark experience was pretty good in my opinion.
Phil wrote something in the other thread, he said owner was paying for a new surface and new amenities. Cubs also said traffic going to Kane County made traveling time nearly equal (not gonna vet that one, just the quote I read).
I've got 21.1% according to Fangraphs fwiw, he has had a particularly low BABIP from 2010-2013, quite normal this year and his numbers have reflected that.
21.1% while not good, is not alarming. Anything over 25% is when you start worrying about a problem. Valbuena has been a consistent 20% for most of his career. Not saying ideal and maybe it'll get worse as he gets older, but he walks and works the count enough that it shouldn't be a great concern.
And Yasiel Puig only has two more homers than Mike Olt!!
It is also worth noting, because I've never heard anyone talk about it, that our hero Luis (he of the .229 lifetime BA over the small sample of 7 seasons) has K'd 107 times this year for a 23.9% clip which is not awesome for a guy who homers every 28 AB.
I'm curious to know why the Cubs left Kane County. I'm pretty sure AZ Phil predicted they'd move to South Bend but it also seems like Kane County is a good place to help grow the fan base to see the kids. Is it a crappy facility or something?
At the same time, it probably IS strange not be to counting down the end to the season. Still, I bet he's a little miffed he's not about to be part of the upcoming 20 year dynasty.
seems being a vertically challenged middle infielder for the Cubs is license to be a douchebag in interviews...
""It was weird at first," Barney said, "but it's just a different atmosphere. We expect to win, and if we don't, we don't cry about it, and get up the next day and try to win that day.""
also this one from earlier
I wouldn't go that far. There are those of us who are perplexed by the lack of consistent at bats, and I'm not talking about total ABs I'm talking about the fact he hasn't played 5 days in a row that I can think of, and there is the other segment of fans here who think "meh", what's the big deal?
Mike Olt seems to be a polarizing figure- the third rail of Cub fandom.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Eleven Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (March 31 through April 6)
Date of News Release: 04/07/08
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that eleven people died in eleven separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, March 31 through Sunday, April 6, 2008.
Ten of the fatalities were traveling in motor vehicles and eight of those victims were not wearing seat belts and one fatality involved a pedestrian. Four of the motor vehicle fatalities were the result of the suspected use of alcohol.
Single fatality crashes occurred in Bath, Bullitt, Carter, Fayette, Grayson, Harrison, Jefferson, Metcalfe, Mclean, Pulaski and Woodford counties.
Through April 6, preliminary statistics* indicate that 186 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2008. That is eight less than reported for this time period in 2007. Of the 156 motor vehicle fatalities, 102 victims were not wearing seat belts. There have been 12 motorcycle fatalities and 7 of those were not wearing helmets. A total of 39 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol. Eighteen fatalities have been pedestrians.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Forecasts of sunny skies are combining with falling gas prices and an apparent "pent-up demand" for getaways to put Maryland on course for its busiest Labor Day weekend for travel since the end of the recession.
AAA Mid-Atlantic is projecting that 678,000 Marylanders plan to travel 50 miles or more this holiday weekend — a 2.7 percent increase over the number who traveled last year.
If AAA's projections hold true, Labor Day would be the first strong holiday travel weekend of the summer. Similar surveys before Memorial Day and the Fourth of July showed year-over-year declines in the number of Marylanders who planned to travel.
Now, AAA spokeswoman Ragina C. Averella said, Marylanders are planning to get away.
The AAA survey doesn't look beyond people's travel plans, but it can be a measure of the strength of the regional economy.
"The intention to travel, which means the intention to spend, this is a perfectly respectable economic indicator," said economist Anirban Basu, founder of the Baltimore-based Sage Policy Group Inc. "The pace of recovery in Maryland remains modest but is progressing nonetheless."
Using travel plans as a measure of economic recovery, Maryland is doing reasonably well but lagging nationally. Last week, AAA's national survey predicted a 4.2 percent increase in travel across the United States over Labor Day weekend.
Basu said the difference reflects the fact that Maryland's economy was outperforming the national average a year ago.
Most of this weekend's Maryland holiday travelers — an estimated 590,000, or 87 percent — are expected to go by car. That 2.8 percent increase from 2012 could be good news at Maryland's top resorts, Ocean City and Deep Creek Lake.
Jessica Waters, communications manager for Ocean City, said businesses there expect a strong weekend.
"The weather looks wonderful, which is always a help," she said. "We expect we will see 'No vacancy' signs throughout town."
The National Weather Service is forecasting mostly sunny skies with highs of about 80 from Thursday to Monday.
Waters said a good Labor Day weekend would help offset "a slow start to the season" after a cool, wet spring. Since then, she said, business has been "amazing."
Sarah Duck, director of tourism for the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce, said revenue from lodging taxes has been up about 5 percent this year.
"We anticipate Labor Day to continue the trend we've seen all summer," she said.
In addition to the road trippers, 52,800 Marylanders are expected to travel by air, and 34,600 by bus, boats and other forms of travel, for respective increases of 1.1 percent and 2.7 percent over last year, AAA found.
Jonathan Dean, spokesman for Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, predicted a typically busy late-summer weekend at BWI. He said travelers who haven't flown out of the airport recently might notice some changes, including a new checkpoint serving concourses A, B and C and a secure connection that lets passengers move between B and C without passing through security a second time.
The statewide numbers follow national estimates from AAA Travel, which predicted last week that 34.1 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more this weekend, the highest number of Labor Day travelers nationally since the recession ended in 2009.
"While the overall financial picture remains mixed, economic indicators have improved from last year and have been trending upward during 2013," Averella said in a statement. "As a result, there appears to be pent-up demand by Marylanders to get away for the last summer holiday as many stayed put for the first two major summer holidays."
While Maryland's expected travel increase lags behind the national figure, it is in line with other states in the region.

Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee is one of those drinks that once tried is never forgotten. Vibrant but gentle, this rich but mellow coffee is the world's most expensive coffee and Japan's favoured drink after Sake. What we particularly love about Blue Mountain Coffee's unique taste is that unlike many other coffees you don't need a sugar plantation to make it into something that is palatable, even when served as an espresso.
Here's our favourite winter way of serving this rather special coffee; obviously you can try at home with your own favourite coffee blend. If we are feeling particularly decadent we like to add in a shot of our home-made orange liqueur, you can subsitute this with a shot Cointreau.
If you fancy trying Blue Mountain Coffee at source perhaps consider a visit to Hotel Mocking Bird Hill where we can take you hiking in the Blue Mountains to take a look around a Coffee Plantation or perhaps consider our Sea & Mountain Escape, where you divide your time between the Blue Mountains and the Caribbean Sea.

My pleasure, sweetie!
brightmidnight said: I love how mysterious your blog is.
Well thank you kindly! I like having an air of mystery!
You Better Straighten Up:
You're making a mess out of everything. Crooked, jagged, messy. Why is that acceptable? Why is that allowed? If you keep going down that path, you'll screw up everything. Direction. Dignity. Poise. It's all for sure; but it's all for show. But keep it up. Make your mistakes, but you make damn sure take each lesson with you to your grave. Follow what ever path you choose, but take heed: you better straighten up or you may end up like me - happy, free, and watching the world go by whilst living in your corners. Go for that walk and stretch your legs. It's about time. One day you'll look and realize, you are the brightest star.
Behind The Scenes:
Once again, whilst taking a stroll around my house, I happened to look down and noticed that these bricks were out of line, essentially making a once-straightned path jagged. When I stepped down whilst I was walking up the path, I looked down to catch my footing and I smiled… these "Pez-like" bricks have character all in their own and they do not fail to tell a story. And that's what I enjoy about everything I see… everything tells a story, they're not just place or situated there for convenience or looks, but they are there to give the world another view. Yours Truly.

And Then, All Of A Sudden… The Lightbulb Goes On:
It's not like you have to flip a switch to see the light. It's all in your head. You don't even have to think on it. It will come to you. Even in the blackest dark. Even in the darkest black. You have that light that will internally shine inside of you. I can see it from here, hiding in your corners. She can see it across the street. He can see from space. It will guide you. It will keep you warm. Stay focused… because you'll be surprised… the lightbulb goes on + all the answers you were looking for will finally be found. You are the brightest star.
Behind The Scenes:
I took a stroll around my home + I saw a lightbulb go on. Not literally, but inside my head. Why not photo a porch light that represents these endless ideas that come pouring into my thoughts? When the porch light's on at home, you know it's guiding you in the right direction — guiding you back home. I can see it from hiding in your corners. She can see it from across the street. He can see it from space. I know if I let my light shine, you, too, will shine even brighter. Yours Truly.
tri-attack-deactivated20111213 said: Thanks for you suggestion. :-3
Looking at your tumblr, I can see it's a thought you've already thought about. I'll have to give it some though of my own, too, in order to take up that challenge. Sound be interesting.
You're very welcome! And indeed I have. It's been quite a thrilling experience, actually. I suggest it's a challenge you ensue at least once in your lifetime. Looking forward to seeing how you overcome these challenges. Have a good'un.
Time Of Death Or The Time Of Your Life: You Decide:
Although you may think you have all the time in the world, the clock never stops ticking. You look at the hands; you read the Roman numerals. You try to focus on what you're working on. For what seems like eons of seconds, you look back at the clock + see that the hands are motionless. You hear the click-click-click of the motor running the seconds hand, echoing on, but the time stands still. Why is time taking forever to move forward?
Although you may think you have all the time in the world, the clock never stops ticking. You look at the hands; you read the Roman numerals. You continue to laugh about stories of your past, shuffling through old photographs, eating delicious summer foods, relaxing, breathing deep with the cool breeze. For what seems like the best day of your life, you briefly remind yourself to look at the clock + your realize that the day is coming to a close. Where did the time go? Why did it disappear so quickly?
Remember one thing, no matter what you may think, time is forever endless. But YOUR time here is limited. So choose to spend + choose to waste your time wisely… because it could be your time of death, or the time of your life. You best decide soon. There isn't a moment to waste… so come, kill some time with me~
Behind The Scenes:
It happens within the confines of the moment. You get lost in your own littler world + you look up + realize the day is almost gone + night is knocking on your door. I thought about this when I stood on a chair to shove my camera into this wise machine's face. The constant whir of the machine's seconds going by; the hands moving so fast but yet ever so slowly, remind me that this minute could be my last or could be my first. I have all the time in the world to decide but yet I'm limited to all the minutes I have been given. Am I making the right choices? Have I done the right things? Only time will tell, but for now, I have all the time in world. And I'm choosing to spend that time with you. I'll hang out with you in your corners, watching the world go by. Sundown to sunup, from noon to midnight. Let's go have the time of our lives before Mr. Time of Death comes to meet us. Everyday I'm yours… truly.
Pause To Reflect: You Are My Window To The World - Black + White iPhoneography Challenge:
Creep, ever so slowly, to make sure you bring the viewfinder just into focus. Hurry! You don't have a minute to lose. Snap as soon as you see an image floating around in your head.
You may see it in colour, but I want you to share it in black + white - of course, whatever "it" may be. Could it be you? Could it be the sun? Could it be a paw print in the sand? Could it be a puddle of water gathering after a rainstorm? Could it very well be whatever you want it to be?
Yes, it can.
Please, those on Instagram: feel free to join my black + white challenge. Who knows? Maybe you can even win it…

When I create a new topic in the Forum Directory, I am given the option to choose which Group Forum I would like to post to, which is great. The issue I am having is that unless you choose a group forum you will lose the entire post when you hit submit, which is frustrating.
So my questions is, can I set the default group to post to in the forum directory of buddypress? Or can I disable posting new topics from the Forum Directory?

After two full days of jury selection, Crystal Mangum's murder trial began in Durham with opening statements and witness testimony Thursday afternoon.
Mangum, who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, is charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Reginald Daye.
Mangum is accused of stabbing Daye during a domestic dispute April 3, 2011, at his apartment in Durham. She has claimed she stabbed her boyfriend in self-defense. Mangum is also charged with larceny.
She has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Assistant District Attorney Charlene Coggins-Franks outlined for the jury what they will hear during the coming days.
She said Mangum and Daye went to a party on the evening of April 3 and at some point started to argue.
Franks said Mangum used a knife to stab Daye, went out of the house and to a cousin's apartment, where she told someone what happened.
Franks said it was only after talking with other people that Mangum called 911 and hung up before giving all of the information she needed to give.
Ten days after the stabbing, Daye died, Franks said.
Defense attorney Daniel Meier said he and Mangum do not disagree with everything the state says.
He confirmed Mangum and Daye got into an argument.
Meier said throughout the trial, the jury will hear Daye's perspective through witnesses who talked with him.
Daye admitted to holding Mangum down on the bed until she calmed down and stopped "disrespecting" him, Meier said.
At one point during the argument, Mangum locked herself in the bathroom, Meier told the jury.
Daye thought she was calling police and kicked the door down, ripping it off the frame, and went into the bathroom, dragging Mangum into the bedroom by her hair, Meier said.
At that point, Mangum stabbed Daye a single time in his side, Meier said.
Daye never hit Mangum, but admitted to holding her down and dragging her by her hair, Meier said, adding that Mangum tried to leave three times, but Daye wouldn't let her go.
Daye was taken to Duke University Medical Center, and where it was discovered his colon was "nicked" by the knife, Meier said.
He had surgery and was expected to fully recover, Meier said.
On April 6, Daye had a lack of oxygen to his brain, and went brain dead. He was then taken off of life-support, Meier said.
The prosecution began calling witnesses to the stand Thursday.
Daye's cousin, Hasan Wilson, testified that he did not see Mangum and Daye arguing the night of the stabbing.
Carlos Wilson, Daye's nephew, then testified that Daye showed up at his door "somewhat in a panic state" bleeding after the stabbing. Wilson was the first to call 911.
"He was trying to stay calm, but he was in a lot of pain," Wilson said.
He said he saw the apartment where the stabbing happened, seeing a mess and the knife.
"I couldn't get the image of how the apartment looked out of my head," Wilson said.
Wilson testified he did not see Mangum at the apartment at that time.
He also said that it "didn't take much to push the door in" on the bathroom, saying it was a "cheap fabrication."
Wilson said Daye did not have a history of abusing girlfriends, adding he was usually the one abused.
"Reggie was more of a lover than a fighter," he said.
"I used to joke with him a lot about women beating him up," Wilson said.
The court also heard 911 calls made the night of the stabbing by Wilson and Mangum. At one point, Mangum began crying while listening to the recordings.
Durham Police Officer Bradley Frey, who testified he was the second or third officer on the scene, said he saw two or three knives in the apartment. One of them was stabbed into a couch. Officer Frey also said he saw three bottles of beer and a trail of blood droplets in the apartment and then found Daye.
Officer Frey said that Daye told him he and Mangum were arguing about money.
Officer C.N. Walker said when officers found Mangum, she was lying face down on the floor of her aunt's house.
"It kind of appeared she was intoxicated," he said.
He asked her at least twice to stand up, before having to help her off the floor.
When Walker took Mangum to the police department, he said she "kept trying to wiggle" out of her handcuffs, and successfully got the handcuffs off of one hand.
The judge dismissed the jury at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
The trial in Durham County Superior Court is expected to take about five to seven days. Judge Paul Ridgeway of Wake County told potential jurors the trial could potentially continue into the week of Thanksgiving or after.
