The Gibson Bridge Position Humbucker Cover is available in chrome, gold, and nickel. Keep your Gibson original in every detail.
Reviewed by 3 customers
Comments about Gibson Bridge Humbucker Cover:
I purchased both the bridge and and neck covers in nickel for my Les Paul Classic Goldtop. Not only did they improve the asthetics of the guitar, but are also functional. The double black ceramics that came stock on this model Les Paul just didn't look quite right on a Goldtop. These covers also got rid of most of the hum and buzz that these high output pickups would put out. Pickup covers not only protect the coils, but provide the nessasary shielding to squelch any unwanted noise. Both of the Gibson covers look great and were easy to install with a soldering iron.
Comments about Gibson Bridge Humbucker Cover:
I have ordered these covers a number of time as I am not a fan of Bare Pickups..I have been told that with covers it reduces the sound quality. Eric Johnson can tell the difference between battery brands in effects pedals but I am not that good. Just want to keep the Nacho Crumbs out of the pickup wraps. I ordered this Cover and also at same time a Cover for the Neck Pickup both in Chrome finish. I was installing these in a Gibson Les Paul Signature "T" with 57 Classic Humbuckers. Did not know that on the 57 Classic Humbuckers that the Neck and Bridge Pickup Pole Spacing is the Same. So On these Pickups you have to use neck covers for both Pickups, So very Important to measure spacing prior to Ordering, something I have never done and this time it bit me... Other than that issue, I have used these covers on other projects and they work and look fine, so that is why even though I could not use I still gave 5 Stars..
Comments about Gibson Bridge Humbucker Cover:
This was suppose to fit most humbuckers, But apparently not on burstbucker 3's, hole don't line up. Now gotta go back to Guitar Center.

I went to the range this morning to practice with my LCP and a Glock 36. Everything went smoothly with the LCP as always. Great ccw.
I had 2 new magazines for the Glock 36. First magazine, no problems. With the next magazine there were problems. First round was difficult to chamber, it took 3 attempts before the round was stripped into the chamber. First round fired and ejected, second live round was jammed in between the feed ramp and the slide at a 90 degree vertical angle. Removed the magazine from the pistol and the remaining rounds litterly fell out of the magazine.
Looked down inside the magazine and the follower was stuck toward the bottom of the magazine. While looking at it, the follower exploded upward and partially exited the top of the magazine at a 90 degree angle. Good thing I was wearing safety glasses.
(fix pics ~ qks)
The rest of the range session went smoothly. I called Glock customer service this afternoon and left a message asking for a new magazine.
This was a good day for reminders, always test your equipment, and always wear those safety glasses when shooting. You never know what can happen.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Hey on a serious note, I have a Minnesota H missing a slide plate. Anyone have one I could buy? Someone on here was talking about the Minnesota a while back - something about the parts being interchangeable with another machine? Any information would be appreciated! I thought this machine was made by Domestic and sold by Sears? But, I think ISMACS lists the Minnesota H made by Standard? It gets more complicated because I also remember reading that about 1926 White acquired Domestic? Anyway, all I need is a slide plate or information of what machines to look for - for a donor slide plate!
Glad to elicit a grin, not a groan or a grump.

I got a LBOY 301A just before Christmas. After the Christmas hoopla was over I oiled her and greased the gears. She sews so effortlessly and is so quiet. I love it! But I noticed that the needle sits a hair too much to the left and when sewing you can sometimes hear the needle "touch" the needle plate. I changed the needle and removed the needle plate and screwed it back in. It is still a bit too much to the left. It doesn't stop me from sewing but I would be happier if I could slightly adjust the way the needle sits so it is more centered over the hole. Is that possible?
Thanks Jackie
A quick answer..No. You can't re-position the needlebar. The needle should not be hitting the plate at all. Do make sure the hole in the bar for the needle is clean. A small amount of debris in the hole can deflect the needle enough to cause it to hit the needleplate.
The 301 is designed so the the flat of the needle positions the needle at the left side of the hole. As the needle size gets larger the needle 'grows' on the side opposite of the flat. This allows larger needles. If the needle was centered the 301 would have a much smaller range of sizes that could be used before hitting the needleplate hole on the right side.
I hope this helps.
BTW the two tone 301 is a LBOW (Light Beige/ Oyster White).

Thanks everyone for your help! I'll have another look at it tomorrow and check all those things out.

World Chefs: Madonna's macrobiotic cook home in Japan
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - After working for seven years as Madonna's macrobiotic cook, Mayumi Nishimura feels she's back in Japan to help change the way her native country eats.
Although Japan's traditional diet is extremely healthy, an increasingly Westernized diet and the incursion of overseas fast food chains have made weight issues, and diseases such as diabetes, much more common than before.
Nishimura, who spent about 25 years in the United States aside from her time -- mainly in London -- with Madonna, has written a book, "Mayumi's Kitchen," with menus that blend her Japanese background, her macrobiotic training in the United States, and her experience working for Madonna.
When Madonna's current cook goes on vacation, Nishimura goes back to work for the pop star, who wrote an introduction to Nishimura's book.
Q: How did your Japanese background help you develop as a macrobiotic cook?
A: "I was born on a small island, fish was abundant and it was free, and vegetables were free. When I look back now, if I just changed white rice to brown rice and ate other whole grains, and instead of eating so much fish to eat just occasional fish and more vegetables, I was already pretty close to macrobiotic. Plus I had already known sea vegetables, all those basic ingredients. That helped a lot.
"I learned a lot from the different foods in the United States. Whole oats, cooking whole oats, was a big challenge for me. Also all sorts of beans I hadn't seen before, such as chickpeas, green lentils. Finding all those whole grains was new, learning how to use them, to combine them with Japanese kinds of seasonings. That's not saying that everything tasted good. I tried a lot and I failed a lot. But because of that I became a better cook."
Q: What's your macrobiotic philosophy? Continued...

Furnace, starved for air? Thunks at start/end of cycle
My forced-air gas furnace makes big thunking noises at the beginning and end of its cycle. The fan is actually sucking in the sides of the unit's case, so it thunks at the beginning when the sides are sucked in, and then at the end when the sheet metal relaxes. The noise echoes through the ducts all throughout the house.
I added a cold-air return, thinking it would help (there were only two for a 3000 sq. ft. house). It didn't. The unit didn't do this thunking while I had the ducts all open when I was adding the return. It also doesn't do it if I remove the furnace filter so that it can suck air in through the filter slot in addition to the returns.
One return goes through a homemade pan that I could crawl through it's so large; there's a 2' by 3' register grate feeding that pan. The other return goes through 12" duct. And the one I added through 7" duct. All this feeds into the rectangular inlet duct on the furnace inlet. Is there a rule of thumb for how much return space I need for the size of the house or number of heat runs?
I'm using a good 3M filter, though one of the 50-cent cheapies would probably let more air through (and dust). Are there high-flow filters? I didn't see anything like that at Lowes & Home Depot.
Overall, I'm worried that the unit is undersized for the house. The former owners cut corners wherever they could. I'm thinking maybe the installer jacked up the fan speed to force the heat further through the house or something. Could it be something like that?
Hi timp
You have in a nutshell just let everyone know what I am talking about. You are using the 3m with the tight pleates. Use an open pleated filter with the soft media. If your wife sews, have her give you a piece of inner facing that is used to stiffen a shirt collar. Try and suck air through this innerfacing, this is exactly what is used in the high end filters. The polyester filters are the best performing filters in a pleated type. However they are only a thirty day filter and must be changed regularly. Hope this helps with your request.
Good luck
Thanks for the info! My wife does sew and laughed when I mentioned the inner facing...she agreed it would be very tough to suck air through it.
I was buying the better filters to cut down on dust, etc. My son has asthma and I wanted to provide as good a clean air flow as I can. I'll try some other filters to see if I can find a good balance between clean and quiet.
Thanks and best wishes,
To close this thread out right, changing the furnace filter has solved the thunking problem. My wife picked up a Filtrete Basic filter at Target for $4. On their site, 3M lists this as a "high air flow" filter. I suppose it won't do as good a job filtering the air flow as the filters we had been using. But I'm just glad to not have to listen to the furnace clanking and banging at the beginning and end of each cycle!
Thanks again,
have you had the furnace cleaned recentely? Mine did the same thiung regardless of filter. I had it cleaned and now all is well even with a very tight pleat filter.
No, actually we planned to get it cleaned this year before the heating season began...well, we missed that goal! It's 20 degrees outside and snowing to beat the band. Thanks for the tip.

The feed ramp need to be polished so the HP rounds don't snag. Had that done on my Commander. Works fine now.

I have a Colt Officers ACP Series 80 and have run into an interesting problem. Whenever I am shooting ball ammo the gun is 100%. When I switch to ANY brand of JHP the last round "stovepipes". Not a real stovepipe, but the unfired round gets lodged vertically in the chamber. I have tried multiple magazines and run into the same problem. As I said, FMJ work fine. I have replaced the stock recoil spring with an EGW full length guide rod with flat ISMI spring at 22#. It did same thing before the recoil spring upgrade, so can anyone help me figure out what the issue may be. I am thinking I need heavier mag springs?? Thanks!

"Marines don't surrender-they win or die." from Brute
I agree with BkCo1 that having the feed ramp polished will make the biggest improvement; but while you're getting that done, it's also good to have the barrel's chamber opening crowned (top and bottom insides) and polished as well - gunsmith will also ensure barrel crown is in good alignment with feed ramp.
So it is not a magazine issue? Why would a not so polished feedramp make only last round stick up?
Try some different mags maybe. Is it possible that the slide stop is contacting the magplate? Maybe just enough that the HP rounds hang up where, ball works fine. Maybe just forget HP rounds altogether and stick with ball?
Wilson mags don't fix the problem, but they often fix the symptom, so that might be an option. They change the shell's angle and height so to "jump" the feedramp.
I had a Llama that did the same thing only in reverse--would feed HP fine as long as I didn't load over 3.
Sounds like a magazine issue to me. Had the same issue with my new series 80. Wilson 47D mags fixed it. It was always the last round getting hung vertically.
If it was a feed ramp issue, it would happen with the other rounds also. But, since it happens on the last round, my bet is your magazine has run out of push power as it relaxes.
Go with a new quality mag first, and if that doesn't work, then look at other things.

glockman10mm has the easiest solution; Wilson 47D's first. If that doesn't work then a call to a gunsmith is in order.
I suspect your problem has nothing to do with the feed ramp. Is it possible to post a pic of exactly how the malfunction is occurring?

The major difference is that little "dimple" on the follower , it raises and angles the last round JUST ENOUGH to stop it from
jumping out of the feed lips and jamming like yours does.
I don't know if the current COLT mags for the officer have this feature but several mfgs sell mags or followers like the ones pictured.
I also recommend sticking to a 7 rd mag in an Officer.

I agree with AKsrule. I've also found that my compact guns (Colt and Detonics) have issues with full size mags but work perfectly with 6 or 7 shot Officers size mags, I suspect it has something to do with spring rate and slide velocity. Rather than mess with it I just use the proper size magazine.

Springs for COLT 1911 GOV'T PISTOL Semi-Auto Pistols
I'm going to assume (I know, you should never assume ) your hollow points are a little "warmer" than your ball load and your OACP is cycling slightly faster, just enough that your older and possibly weaker magazine springs can't lift the last round fast enough to keep up as the magazine spring tension decreases. As I'm sure you know, the timing is more critical the smaller the 1911 gets.

"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow.

Is this a problem that has just started after functioning properly, or has the gun always do it? The picture you put up shows a 8 round CMC Power Mag. Does it do it with standard officer mags?

Westfield bosses have unveiled plans for Croydon and argue aggressive tactics are key to quickly breaking the deadlock over the redevelopment of the Whitgift Centre.
A public consultation was held in the town centre between July 5 and 8, where the retailer set out its £1bn masterplan, including 1.5m sq ft of retail space, a cinema and bowling alley, about 500 homes and 5000 new jobs.
The Australian company faces competition from rival retail giants Hammerson for the right to the North End site, but despite being rejected by the majority leaseholders of the site, have ploughed forward with preparing plans, set to go before the council later this month.
John Burton, Westfield's director of development, said: "This just increases the pressure, not just on Hammerson but on everyone, including us.
"There were two ways to do this, sit and wait around for the dispute to be settled, which could have taken years, or push on.
"Croydon doesn't have years, it needs this development now."
The impasse between Westfield and Hammerson arose after the land owners The Whitgift Foundation agreed Westfield should be the developer.
Leaseholders Royal London Asset Management and Irish Bank Resolution Company disagreed and following a bidding process including both Hammerson and Westfield, chose the former as their development partners.
Mr Burton admitted by pushing forward with the plan his company risked losing millions.
He said: "This sort of thing, to get through planning contractors, architects just to get something before the council, you are talking about millions, but the same is true of both companies.
"Everyone knows what is at stake here which is just another reason for us to move forward.
"All the parties are acutely aware of the need to get some serious dialogue going."
As part of the public consultation, 150,000 leaflets were distributed across the area inviting a response from residents, and thousands of questionnaires were distributed.
Defending an incident at Westfield Stratford on June 29, which saw a man stabbed to death, Mr Burton said: "That was a terrible incident, but since we opened we have worked with Newham and the police and crime is down significantly in the area.
"The fact is this wasn't a random shopper this was two gangs choosing to have their fight in our centre."
The company has promised if picked to develop Whitgift, it will work with Croydon BID, the council and the police to provide additional security.

The Maine Army National Guard has armories in every region across the state, but those who work in the facilities say the buildings are in desperate need of an update.
"It is not a stretch to say that we have soldiers who are deployed right now in Afghanistan who are in safer, more modern facilities than they have back here in the state of Maine," said MAJ Michael Steinbuchel, Public Affairs Officer for the Maine Army National Guard.
This realization is what lead to bond question one on this year's ballot. If approved by voters, the Maine National Guard would get a $14 million bond. That money would help pay for the repair and modernization of 15 armories from Portland to Houlton. Many of the buildings are out of code and small repairs aren't helping.
One of the biggest problems has to do with heating issues. At the Drill Hall in Belfast, the ceiling is made completely of wood and steal But that's not the only problem.
Steinbuchel said, "They have asbestos tiles, they're leaking, they have mold issues, they have structural damage."
Many of these armories were built between in the earlier half of the 1900's. At that time, the buildings were community centers and shelters for emergencies. The guard wants to bring people back into the facilities, BUT they say it's impossible with these current conditions.
"Would you want your family in one of these facilities? The answer to me is no," said the Public Affairs Officer
Mainers will vote on question one on November 5th.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Receivables Management placed false information on my credit report today, 2/27/14. I tried for hours calling the number on my credit report with no answer and was hung up on. I tried to leave a message with no success. My credit report went from 746 to 679 in one day because of this one account added. It is showing a $36 transaction in collections. I have never received a letter or a call or any other communications that this account exists. I have no idea what the $36 was for. If I owe $36, I am happy to pay it but it is extremely frustrating to not be notified of a debt before it shows up on my clean credit report as a collection account.

ISLAMABAD: The coalition partners have, at a meeting chaired by President Asif Ali Zardari, authorized Pakistan People's Party (PPP) to nominate the next prime minister whose name will be announced officially at 11:00 AM Friday, Geo News reported Thursday.
However, according to sources, President Asif Ali Zardari took the coalition partners into confidence over his decision to nominate Raja Pervaiz Ashraf as PPP's candidate for the post of prime minister who will be elected by the Lower House on Friday.
During the meeting, the allies of PPP-led government unanimously approved the name of Raja Pervaiz Ashraf for the coveted post of prime minister, sources added.
According to presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar, the allied partners during the meeting pledged their support for the PPP candidate whose name will be formally announced by the party at 11:00 AM tomorrow.
The meeting was attended among others by Pakistan Muslim League-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, Muttahida Qaumi Movement's Dr Farooq Sattar, Babar Khan Ghauri, Awami National Party's Afrasyab Khattak, Israr Zehri, Munir Khan Orakzai, PPP's Khursheed Shah, Manzoor Wattoo and Naveed Qamar.

After the official disqualification of Yousuf Raza Gilani on June 19, the allied parties nominated Qamar Zaman Kaira, Makhdoom Shahabuddin, Chaudhry Mukhtar Ahmed and Raja Pervaiz Ashraf for the position of PM.
However, the allied parties unanimously nominated Ashraf as the new prime minister of Pakistan.
The lower house of parliament has been summoned to vote in the new prime minister at 5:30 pm on Friday which will decide Ashraf's fate as the PM.

THE PRESTIGE-United States/United Kingdom-2006
Note: For reasons known only to WordPress, I cannot list the actor's name below the photos as I normally do. Hopefully this will soon be resolved; but until then here are the actors' names and the names of the characters that they portray listed below.
Christian Bale as Alfred Borden
Michael Caine as Cutter
Scarlett Johansson as Olivia Wenscombe
Piper Perabo as Julia McCullough
Andy Serkis as Alley
Rebecca Hall as Sarah Borden
David Bowie as Nikola Tesla
Directed by Christopher Nolan
Screenplay by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan
Based on the novel by Christopher Priest
I'm going to be honest with you; I had no intention of even reviewing this movie. I was just going to sit back, munch on popcorn and draw from the well known as Natural Light and just enjoy this movie for what it is, a damn good movie. But then that all too familiar bug bit me on my ass; and I began to think about the film in terms of the subject of my next post. So, here I am once again. I think the reason I feel so compelled to review this is that it is such a compelling film to begin with. This may sound strange, but The Prestige made me think of the Spy vs. Spy stories that were so prominently featured in each and every issue of Mad magazine. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are rival magicians, once friends, but now bitter enemies after a tragic accident occurs during an illusion that they're assisting with. After that, their lives become a maze of deception and sabotage as each tries to ruin the others life and career. Ah, but there is much more. The tagline of this film is "Are you watching closely?", and though not as intricately woven as his earlier film, Memento, The Prestige is still a film that one can easily see requires repeated viewing. I followed along with the plot of the film fairly well, but I still found myself scratching my head when it was over. At the beginning, Michael Caine narrates about the three components of a successful magic trick. They are The Pledge, in which the magician shows us something ordinary; The Turn, in which the magician makes the ordinary 'extraordinary'; but make something disappear and you have to bring it back. That final component is known as the Prestige. Watching the film, from start to finish, I realized that the entire story was just that: Pledge, Turn, and Prestige.
Christopher Nolan is fast becoming one of my favorite directors. His work has become consistent with that of an intriguing story with meticulous attention to detail and a plot that reaches far beyond what we see the first time we watch. With that last statement said I can assure you that The Prestige is no exception.

Spinout Sends Driver Through The Roof
A Brooklyn man was ejected through the open sunroof of his 2004 Jeep after he lost control of the SUV near Riis Park on New Year's Eve, police said. Bill Kontolios, 47, was speeding along the curved, eastbound section of roadway that flows into Beach Channel Drive at about 10 a.m. – possibly racing with another driver – when he misjudged the curve. The vehicle went out of control and barrel-rolled when the tires hit the sand at the edge of the median. Kontolios, who suffered back and neck injuries as well as cuts to his face, was rushed to Jamaica Hospital.

A man decides that there are enough swimming pools between him and his home so that he can swim across the county to his home, so he decides to do so. He is forced to face the demons of his past along the way.
The trailer for this film asks the question "When you talk about THE SWIMMER, will you talk about yourself?" Obviously, someone felt that this movie was such a powerful and universal experience that it would touch the nerves of all who saw it. And, given its raiting of 7.6 on IMDB, it must have touched quite a few people in this way. Still, my answer to the trailer's question is going to be no; I'm first going to talk about "The Motion Picture Guide", that multi-volume movie reference set that came out in the mid-eighties that classifies this experimental drama as a fantasy. Yes, it's got a bizarre premise, but it's hardly a fantastic one, and the movie doesn't try to paint it as such. In short, I consider this movie misclassified, and fantasy fans will find nothing here to satisfy them.
On its own terms, I'm afraid I'm not as taken with this movie as some others. Burt Lancaster does a fine job, and for a man in his late fifties, he was still in good enough shape to handle the physical demands of the role as well as spending the entire running length of the movie in a swimsuit. There is also some depth to the movie, and there are a few amusing moments, including his encounter with some nudists. But aside from him, I found the acting fairly uneven, and the extended metaphor that drives the movie just didn't fascinate me enough to raise the movie above the level of pretentious for me. I put this in the category of non-genre oddities.

Yeast Infections
After re-reading the thread about the discolored claws, I just found this interesting article on Malassezia (Yeast) Infections. I really think this may be part of Maddies issues with her itchy chin, ears, and paws. This doesn't really mention the red nails, but maybe that is a symptom carrying over from the paw pad? So many of our boxers have the "itchies", I'm wondering if this may be part to blame. We are so quick to blame the food, but maybe this is something to consider. I know the symptoms fit Maddie to a tee, and I also kept thinking of Lola with her constant ear battles and all the other itchie boxers on here. Sharon or anyone ... thoughts on this?
Malassezia Infections
Veterinary & Aquatic Services Department, Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc.
Malassezia pachydermatis is a yeast that is commonly found on the skin of most dogs and cats. The presence of yeast normally causes few problems, however, in some cases, Malassezia can grow and reproduce in abnormal numbers.
Where is Malassezia found?
Malassezia is commonly found in the ear canal, anal sacs, vagina, and rectum of healthy dogs and cats. Disease-causing infections with Malassezia can occur in dogs of all ages and breeds, but are not as common in cats. There are several dog breeds that appear to have an increased susceptibility to developing Malassezia infections including the Silky, Australian, Maltese, and West Highland White Terriers, Chihuahuas, Poodles, Shetland Sheepdogs, and German Shepherd Dogs.
Why do dogs get Malassezia infections?
Any hereditary or infectious disease that weakens the skin's immune system can allow a Malassezia infection to begin. Animals that have an underlying condition such as a bacterial infection, allergy, or seborrhea can have irritated skin that is then susceptible to becoming infected with Malassezia. Some animals, particularly of those breeds listed above, may have a weakened immune system, specifically with a type of cell called the T lymphocyte. These are the cells which help control Malassezia.
What are the signs of a Malassezia infection?
The signs of a Malassezia infection often appear in the high-humidity months of summer and will persist into the fall. Itchy skin is almost always present with these infections. Because of the scratching, the dog may further traumatize the skin. The yeast may be localized on the ear, muzzle, toes, anal area, or may be generalized, covering most of the body. Dogs with the generalized form will often have an offensive, greasy smell and may suffer from oily, scaly skin. Dogs with localized muzzle infections may rub their face or have episodes of intensely scratching their face. Dogs with infections on their toes may lick their feet constantly. Hair loss, redness, hyperpigmentation (blackening of the skin), and thickening of the skin may also be present.
Many ear problems in dogs are also associated with Malassezia. As with skin infections with Malassezia, the yeast start to grow when the environment in the ear canal changes due to another disease condition such as allergies or a bacterial infection. If the yeast infection is in the ear, the dog may shake his head and scratch at his ears.
How is a Malassezia infection diagnosed?
The best way to diagnose a Malassezia infection is with a positive identification of the organism under the microscope. The lesion can be scraped, swabbed, or scotch tape can be used to obtain a sample. Most infections will have a large number of yeast present that will confirm the diagnosis. Laboratory cultures can also be performed to identify the organism. However, because Malassezia can be present on a healthy animal, there may always be some doubt as to if it is the causative agent of the signs. Therefore, diagnosis is usually confirmed by response to treatment.
How are Malassezia infections treated?
Treatment can be approached in several different ways. For a long-term solution to the problem the underlying condition must be properly treated, whether it is a bacterial infection, allergy, or seborrhea.
To provide an inhospitable environment for Malassezia, lipids on the skin need to be removed. Chlorhexidine shampoos that are 1% or stronger, and shampoos containing benzoyl peroxide and sulfur can be used. Selsun Blue shampoo for people also has a good effect against Malassezia in some dogs, although it can be irritating. Human shampoos containing ketoconazole have also been used.
For localized treatment of very small areas, miconazole cream is applied twice daily for several weeks.
For dogs with more severe cases, or in those that are resistant to topical treatment, oral ketoconazole or itraconazole can be administered for several weeks. A response is generally seen within 1-2 weeks, however, therapy needs to continue for an additional 3-5 weeks. Both of these oral antifungal drugs are very effective, but because of their potentially toxic side effects and expense, they should only be used under direct veterinary supervision.
Ear infections with Malassezia are treated by cleaning the ears 1-2 times daily. Ear cleaners containing acids such as acetic or boric acid help to maintain a pH that inhibits the growth of yeast. After cleaning and allowing the ear to dry, appropriate topical medications containing nystatin, thiabendazole, or clomitrazole can be used. Again, the underlying condition must also be treated or treatment for the yeast infection will be unsuccessful.
Malassezia is a common yeast found on almost every dog. Infections with Malassezia are almost always associated with severe itching in dogs, and are often misdiagnosed as skin allergies. The organism can be readily identified with a skin scraping and treatment is usually successful. If your dog has itchy skin or hair loss and has failed to respond to conventional treatments make sure your veterinarian checks her for the ever-present Malassezia.

Re: Yeast Infections
Hanna has cronic yeast ear infections as a baby. *Then her feet would start. *If you think about it, they itch their ears with their feet (yeast can spread from ear to paw) then she would lick her feet to itch them ( hence itchy chin) and its just a cycle that can spead to one part to another.
Best is when you start to see the itching, and know its yeast to treat right away to make sure you get it before it spreads. *I just had another appointment for the itchies. * I have switched all my cleaning products to Seventh Generation, got off kibble, and any grain treats. *Mine I really think may be - Chicken! * Think about it - chix is in almost everything treat kibble ect. *Its the most inexpensive protein source. *I feed raw - the two protein are chix and turkey. * So I am going to go on a limb and try Lamb, beef or venison. *Cut out ALL treats, except apples, dehydrated duck heart, or beef roll treats.
I am going nuts over the itchies. * I dont want to be on meds forever either. * I am going to get a bottle of the Tea Tree Shampoo by Paul Mitchel Pet products. *I hardly ever bathe her, but its looks like something I want to try. *Also adding in more fish oil to her meal. *I am thinking air quality may be it along with a food alergy. *Its sooooooo frustrating!!!
Re: Yeast Infections
Thankfully *neither of mine are itchers and food allergy dogs yet...thank god...
Re: Yeast Infections
Lisa that is a good article, but what I find interesting is is the treatment they offer suggestions as benzoyl peroxide and sulfur, Selsun Blue, Miconizole and Ketoconizole ....Those are all items to treat fungal infections...general fungi and ringworm type issues.... I have heard of *Malassezia, but not since being in school :-) If those products take care of it then something like Lamisil athlete foot med would too.....
Re: Yeast Infections
Ok, Lucy is not itching or anything...is this something you need to treat?
Re: Yeast Infections
Re: Yeast Infections
Sharon..When Maddie was having all the issues with her chin, the Oxy pads really did work wonders. I haven't used them in a while and now she is itching again. Not as severe, but I can tell it's starting again. So I guess I should start using the Oxy pads again.
Her ears I clean twice a week with a tea tree oil cleanser, and I always get gunk out of them, especially her left one that looks like dried blood in there, but I don't see any scratch marks in her ears. She doesn't even scratch her ears at all, so I think the twice a week cleaning regimen is working for that. Can you apply the Lamisil in between her toe pads? I know she will attempt to lick it off and eat it! She is my soap eating girl!
Heather, I never thought of the fact that they can spread the infection from ear to foot to chin, but it makes perfect sense. And yeah, chicken is in just about everything! I also hear ya on the frustration! ARGH!!!!
Re: Yeast Infections
I have Mr. Itchy also. *Recently I have been using the Chlorhexiderm shampoo on him. *It was every other day for a while then I went to twice a week and now has been almost two weeks since the last bath. *I use it on the bottom of his chin and put a little in the muzzle areas but you need to be really careful about the eyes. It has really helped with the yeasties. I also started him on the Nzymes yeast proticol with the oxydrops and the black leaf tincture. *I think this is making a major difference for him. *His face is sooooo much better and is not itching his toes like crazy. *You might want to give it a try. *We live in Florida for only 3 months of the year and the other 9 in North Carolina, but it is still very humid in the air here even in the winter althought the heat is on in the house and I'm sure that makes a difference.
Re: Yeast Infections
Oh, Thanks for that info on yeast, by the way.
Re: Yeast Infections
Yeast is considered to be a fungus. In human medicine, a drug that is typically prescribed for yeast infections is Nystatin. The brand name for Nystatin for pets is Panalog, which is a very old ointment that has been used for years. Miconazole is also the same thing as Lotramin (another brand name), which is commonly used to treat vaginal yeast infections (and why Monistat 7 [Lotramin]) works for treating tear staining on the face).
And, yes, tea tree oil is a great natural antifungal, antibiotic and antiseptic. I've not used it internally, so I'm not sure if it can safely be taken internally, but used topically, it is very affective.
Here is a link listing all of the brand names for Miconazole: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drug ... 01203.html

IN LESS than one year, Patrick Passfield has gone from being confined to a wheelchair to walking the equivalent distance from Brisbane to Cairns.
He made that one of his goals after having to learn to walk again independently after he underwent brain surgery.
Determined to reach his goal, Mr Passfield, also known as Positive Pat, began walking unaided by himself each day around the Wesley Mission Brisbane, where he lives, and to the nearby shops.
Everywhere he went, he logged his daily kilometres.
Finally, after six months, Mr Passfield reached his goal and took the final steps on his virtual journey, crossing the finish line on his 73rd birthday last Wednesday.
There to meet him were staff, family and friends, who had all rallied behind him throughout his journey.
Mr Passfield said he was amazed at how far he had come in a short period of time.
"When I arrived here at Jacob's Court in July, 2012, I was in a wheelchair," he said.
I didn't want to be in this wheelchair for the rest of my life, so I started doing hydrotherapy, which helped me learn to walk again unaided.
"That's when I started to do my virtual journey.
"When I logged my kilometres I ticked it off against a map town by town, city by city.
"But to know that I have finally reached Cairns is an amazing feeling."
But it doesn't end there for Mr Passfield, who has already begun making his way back to Brisbane on his next virtual journey.

The thing to remember about flexibility, it's a time issue.
All things will harden eventually, it may take 100 yrs, but eventually.
I have had some clears stay flexible for a couple of years then
get brittle, so how much time is enough for a test?
And how much is acceptable?
I usually guarantee my paint for three years. That's what I shoot for.
I have redone some other body shops work that took that long to show up.
Especially blends, where the clear started to show differently.
My own "test" paint job with "Lazer-Dry" looked perfect for 3 yrs,
then went bad quickly.
That's why it's important to remember that just because the paint looks
perfect after being done or a couple of months doesn't mean
it's a really high quality paint job. Time has to pass.
There have been girls and guys on here giving advice about their own high
quality paint jobs and only started painting a year ago. That's not enough.
The real test is time, and for me the three year period seems to reveal
what really has been done.
So if you want to check flexibility or adhesion, I want to see it on
something at least a couple yrs old, then we'll know.

I am 3 weeks PO after a revision TT, lipo and gluteal fat grafts with Dr. Golshani, and I couldn't be happier with my results! He has given me a beautiful waist and a curvy body which I could not have imagined before the surgery. Dr. Golshani is an exceptional surgeon, a true artist, and a kind and compassionate human being. What else could you possibly ask for from a plastic surgeon? I highly recommend him without any reservations.

Best Thing I've Done For Myself - Beverly Hills, CA
For years I have contemplated getting a breast augmentation. I finally decided to go ahead and do it. I went to a total of 4 surgeons in the Beverly Hills area and after meeting Dr. G, I knew he was the surgeon for me. He is very talented, has amazing bedside manner, and makes you feel extremely comfortable while also assisting in making an informed decision by explaining ALL risks and complications. After doing the procedure, I am only 2 weeks post op, I couldn't be any happier! My breasts look amazing and everyone I show them to want them. My results are phenomenal and I attest it all to Dr. G and his exceptional skills and expertise in plastic surgery. THANK YOU!!!

Young Mother of 2 - Beverly Hills, CA
Dr. Golshani is AMAZING!!! He literally took his time to explain everything to myself and my family; I never felt rushed! On my actual surgery day, he talked to my mom and held my hand until the anesthesia took over. Afterwards, he called me to make sure I was home safely and to ensure that everything was tolerable. I ONLY have good things to say about Dr. Golshani and his staff. Absolutely the BEST experience I could have asked for and would recommend him a million times over!

Dr. Golshani is amazing. He is a truly skilled and gifted surgeon with the most incredible bed side manner. A perfect combination of professionalism and kindness, you will find no other doctor more competent or compassionate than Dr. Golshani. I would recommend him and his staff, hands down. I finally feel beautiful again and am so excited about the way I look and feel. I finally feel like myself again and am so grateful to Dr. Golshani for giving me my confidence back. My only regret is that I waited so long.

Roll Back Malaria Progress & Impact Series
Malaria Funding and Resource Utilization: The First Decade of Roll Back Malaria
A summary of key findings
- An assessment of malaria control financing and resource utilization in 12 African countries in which data were available found that reliable and sustained funding is central to saving many lives—from 2000 to 2009, approximately 384 000 child lives were saved.
- External financing for intervention scale-up is being used efficiently and appropriately by countries; funds are spent primarily on prevention, treatment, programme support, and health systems strengthening, respectively.
- Steep increases in global malaria financing have occurred since 2003. Seventy percent of 2003–2009 commitments are from the Global Fund, 15% from US-PMI, 8% from the World Bank, and 7% from countries and bilateral agencies.
- Current funding levels appear to have peaked at US$ 1.6 billion per year - approximately 25% of the estimated need to attain RBM targets and achieve the five malaria - related MDGs.
- Progress in reducing malaria burden positions the malaria control community strongly to attain RBM and MDG targets; 2010 is the year in which donors will help determine whether these targets are met.
Malaria Funding and Resource Utilization, the first report to be released as part of the 2010–2011 Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Progress & Impact series, confirms that investment in malaria control is rapidly saving lives and reaping far-reaching benefits for countries. But without sustained and predictable long-term funding, the significant contribution of malaria control toward achievement of the five Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that are closely tied to malaria control, as well as progress toward achieving the 2010 Abuja target of universal intervention coverage, could be reversed.
A new era of malaria control funding
Two decades ago, malaria was highlighted as a disease of poverty, affecting the poorest people in endemic countries and there was little funding to fight the disease. Since that time, funding for malaria control has quadrupled, with US$ 4.5 billion of external assistance committed globally between 2003 and 2009. While many countries, organizations, and companies provide these resources, the majority of these funds are channeled through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which began making commitments and disbursements in 2003, and the World Bank Malaria Booster Program for Malaria Control in Africa and the US President's Malaria Initiative (US-PMI), which were launched in 2006.
Ninety percent of the global malaria burden resides in sub-Saharan Africa, which is the recipient of 80% of external funding for malaria control. Countries are spending these funds appropriately, focusing primarily on prevention (42%) and treatment (31%), as well as health systems strengthening (14%) and programme support (13%). Once funding is received, countries are timely in procuring and distributing needed supplies - on average, more than 80% of funds were spent within the year they became available.
Increased support needed to continue saving lives
And it's working-increases in global funding for malaria control have saved lives and reduced illnesses, particularly for women and young children. In the 12 countries included in this report, an estimated 384 000 lives were saved from 2000 to 2009. Data suggests that if these same countries were able to achieve the RBM target of at least 80% intervention coverage by 2010, an additional 200 000 lives would be saved every year. Countries that have had even modest per-person spending have been able to make substantial progress in malaria control scale-up, which has helped shift the burden of the disease from low income families and national governments to a shared responsibility of the global community.
While current funding is effective, it is less than 25% of the total amount needed annually and there is some evidence that yearly commitments—currently estimated at US$ 1.6 billion per year—may have already peaked. Yet global financing needs for malaria control are estimated at US$ 5 to 6 billion annually for the next 10 years, as quantified in the RBM Partnership's 2008 Global Malaria Action Plan (see Figure 1). In addition, donor commitments and disbursements still have a high year-to-year variability, which can negatively affect programme planning, and they do not adequately respond to differences in need between countries.
Malaria Funding and Resource Utilization demonstrates that, while increased external assistance has had a dramatic impact on reducing malaria mortality and morbidity, external financing commitments must continue to increase in order to address outstanding needs and realize the full potential of malaria control in Africa. By bridging the current funding gap and helping countries implement their plans, partners can, together, make malaria a problem of the past.
Estimated annual global resource requirements for malaria control and current global malaria commitments from Global Fund, World Bank, and US-PMI.
The Global Malaria Action Plan estimated that between $5.0 and $6.2 billion is required per year between 2010 and 2015 to scale up and sustain control and progress toward malaria elimination globally. While there have been substantial increases in funding for malaria control, they continue to fall short of the amount needed to achieve the global goals.
