Misconceptions on the Notorious American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT)

By Cody Richardson

A lot of people fear the name American Pit Bull Terrier because they tend to picture out aggressive and vicious human attacks by a 60 pound dog. However, these degrading presumptions are just misleading misconceptions that tarnish the reputation of this lovable and protective pet. The truth is, American Pit Bull Terriers are intelligent, loyal, and fun loving dogs that got a bad reputation because of uncaring owners.

The history and bad reputation of the breed started in England in the year 1835. During these times, the violent and sadistic game of bull baiting was so popular that some breeders were inspired to breed bulldogs for dog fighting. They were impressed with the dogs' tenacity and fierceness that they mixed it with Terrier blood which resulted to the Bull Terrier.

The Bull Terrier had an impressive character: aggressiveness to its enemies, tenacity and bravery, high pain threshold, but at the same time affectionate and sociable to people. These abilities made it a fierce and deadly warrior in the dog pen. However, even though they were bred for a violent purpose, they still have a natural characteristic to be caring and loyal to humans that made all the difference.

Bull baiting was eventually banned in England and this forced some people to cease the breeding for dog fighting. In the middle of 1800's, immigrants brought the Bull Terrier to the United States but not for fighting anymore. During these times, the Bull Terrier was used as an- all around farm dog and frontier guardian.

The Bull Terrier officially became the American Pit Bull Terrier in 1889. This time, it was becoming very popular among breeders and non-breeders alike. In fact, companies such as Buster Brown Shoe Company, RCA phonograph and Levi's used the APBT as their mascots, representing dependability, loyalty, toughness and bravery.

There were also some famous people who sported APBT as pets. There was Theodore Roosevelt, Hellen Keller, and Little House books' Laura Ingals Wilder. During World War I, APBT was highly regarded that even a Pit Bull named Stubby became a decorated war hero.

The American Pit Bull Terrier, however, did not always have good fortune and high praises. This breed went through countless controversies, like dog fighting and fatal human aggression, that kennel clubs changed its name and standards a few times in many years. From the Bull Terrier to American Pit Bull Terrier, from American Pit Bull Terrier to Staffordshire Terrier, and finally to its present name and current standard- the American Pit Bull Terrier.

There are still many people who breed and raise APBT for dog fighting and aggressiveness. Because of this wrong training, indeed some APBT lost their human affection. In view of this, it is not the poor dog that's to be blamed for their misled behaviors but those heartless individuals who only wish to satisfy their violent cravings and selfish, and often, criminal acts.

Long Winter - Don't Start Too Soon With Seeds

By Thomas Fryd

February in the North is an exceedingly trying month for "the home gardener" The days are growing longer and winter seems to be on the wane, but there is so little that can be done and there is a great desire to be doing something. Some gardeners just cant wait to get started and they do things that should not be done.

For example, there are those who make the mistake of starting flower seeds in the house expecting to get a head start on the coming season. In the North, February is much too soon for this. The germination of the seeds is not the problem; they sprout very readily, but seedling plants do not have good enough growing conditions in the house at this time of year.

When they have grown a few inches tall, they start to lean toward the light and soon grow pale, thin and spindly. What was started with high hopes soon becomes a great disappointment and usually discourages the eager gardener from trying this interesting and profitable adventure when it should be done, under more favorable circumstances and at a time when there is a very good chance for success.

The recommended time to start plants from seeds in the North is some time early in March. It is only those few who have home greenhouses who can expect to succeed with seeds started in February and even then advantages are gained only with petunias, pansies and snapdragons.

A very important point to remember in connection with garden seeds indoors in advance of the season is that there must be a good light, enough space and the right temperature from the time seeds sprout until the plants can be set out in the garden. Seed and fertilizer relationship is also another important consideration. A serious lack of any or all of these conditions, even for a short while, will be harmful.

Once started, plants must be able to develop under continuously favorable conditions or they will do poorly. Plants seriously checked in their development make poor specimens even if they survive until outdoor planting time.

6 Tips To Maintain Your iPhone & Keep Scratches Off Its Back

By Peter Barter

Your iPhone is an investment, and you surely will not want to spoil it by not maintaining it, or letting it get covered with scratches. Protect your iPhone with these tips, and you would be able to enjoy it for a longer time!

1. Keep your iPhone away from things that could scratch it. If any case you are going to placed it in your pocket or purse, dont placed it in the same pocket you keep your keys or your coins, as either one is likely to scratch it.

2. Get a case. There is a plethora of types of covers available for you to utilize to protect your iPhone. Several of them include flip cases, slip pouches, gel skins, rigid cases, weather resistant covers, and leather covers. You can get sports cases for when you don't have a pocket or a free-hand. Sports covers are armbands with an attached pocket or sleeve for your iPhone. If any case you're fashion conscious, you could also get Gucci or other designer iPhone covers. You could get cases that look like purses. Iphone cases come in every color thinkable. Several cases fit so tightly around your phone, leaving the screen available for you, that they look like the phone itself. So whatever your preference in a case, you can find one that you like, and it could keep your iPhone looking like new.

3. To keep grease and smudges away from the screen, get a few screen protectors. These bits of film adhere to your screen, usually by static, without clouding your visual. You use your iPhone screen just like normal, right through the screen protector.

Four. A different alternative for protecting your iPhone from dirt and scratches is an Air Jacket kit. The air jacket is a thin layer of protection only one millimeter thick. It's nearly invisible, but it still protects your phone. The air jacket gives you no protection for if you might drop your phone, but it will keep away the stain, smudges, and scratches which spoil your iPhone's finish. The kit comes with the air jacket, a thin crystal film, and an anti glare film for the LCD.

Five. There are things you could do to maintain your iPhone's battery, and extend it's battery life. First and foremost, keep your iPhone away from heat. Do not leave it in a hot car, or anywhere else under the sun. Heat is the worst thing for your iPhone's battery, and would ruin it speedier than just more or less anything else. Also, you may go through 1 charge cycle per month to perserve the battery. To do this, charge it up to 100% and then let the charge drain completely down to 0%. Lock your phone when youre not using it, and keep power draining activities, such as gaming, to a reasonable level. Doing these things will keep your battery working at an optimum level.

Six. Part of preserving and protecting your iPhone is cleaning it. To clean it, begin with turning off your iPhone for safety purpose, then use the cleaning cloth that come with it. If that is not available, you could use any soft, lint-free cloth. Get it slightly damp, but not too wet. Do not use any cleaning solvents, alcohol, household cleaners, window cleaners or abrasives. Be sure you don't get any moisture in any of the openings.

A clean, well maintained iPhone will look good, and make you look good. It will work better with more efficiency. And it will be there to bring you ease, convenience, and fun entertainment for a very time to come. Have fun!!

3 Easy Steps To Find Affordable Baby Bedding

By Theresa Freeman

Excited parents expecting their first baby want to know to choose comfortable baby bedding that is also safe for baby.

Comfort and Safety First

A baby is a fragile being and demands tender loving. When it comes to choosing babys clothing and baby bedding, the selection boils down to safety because a babys skin, especially that of a newborn is thinner thus sensitive to chafing. When shopping for your baby bedding, safety is top of the list and the rest will follow. It does not mean however that you have to spend top dollar for your babys comfort.

Although not all babies have super sensitive skin, it is smart to be proactive instead of reacting to what might happen to your babys delicate skin. For your babys safety, doctors recommend 100% cotton; but before buying all the stuff, did you know that not all cotton fabrics are safe?

Commercially grown cotton is loaded with pesticides and processed with carcinogenic chemicals and dyes. Since babys skin is vulnerable to infections and rashes choose organic baby bedding and clothing. This is a tad more expensive than regular bedding but a happy baby also means a happy mom so what difference will price have on moms who want the best for their babies?

Smart Baby Bedding Shopping

Todays moms and dads and babies are luckier than their counterparts ages ago because there were no ready-made beddings for small beds and cribs. Now parents can choose the right sized bedding in safe and soft fabrics flaunting soft pastels and innovative colors to create a distinctive decorative flair to a babys room.

But comfort and style are not synonymous with drab looking baby beddings. With so many brands offering classic to ultra-modern crib beddings in sets and separates, budget conscious moms and dads can have fun choosing what they want for the babys crib. That cheap baby bedding " baby boy bedding or baby girl bedding -- may be cheap but if you check the label and it shows its made of 100% cotton; you have hit on the jackpot.

Makers of baby bedding have gone creative with baby bedding. Remember that once upon a time nurseries had the cookie-cutter whites, blues, pinks, and yellows? In keeping with new technologies and demands, manufacturers have rolled out beddings of varied designs, themes, and fabrics, and introduced new baby colors to keep moms happy with their dream nursery without sacrificing babys well-being and comfort.

For crib beddings within budget, watch out for discounted sales and get those beddings for under $100 or compare prices for items that catch your eye. There will always be something spectacular within your budget if you take your time " before baby comes along. You have choices for sets or separates. For sets, there is a crib bumper pad, crib sheet and comforter. Some sets have those adorable crib ruffles and crib mobiles.

If separates appeal to you, you can mix and match designs to achieve a particular theme " a princess nursery for a baby girl or a safari theme for a boy. The advantage with separates is the option to get more sheets instead of a comforter or a crib bumper pad.

How to Choose Your Babys Bedding

Size... a crumpled look will never be in style when it comes to babys bed. Get the right fit for that snug look and give baby that comfortable feeling so beddings with elastic straps smart choices because these hold the bedding in place.

Get extra bedding -- it is inevitable that babies will surely soil the bedding so keep some extras on the ready.

Start with your favorite colors " if you love pink and blue why not use them both or choose colors to complement the existing colors in the nursery or combine colors for a pretty effect. You can get ideas from baby magazines and glossies.

Easy to machine wash fabrics " soft fabrics that wont distort its shape when machine like cotton and flannels are favorites with veteran mommies because these easily machine washed. This will save you the trouble of hand-washing or spot treating when you dont have the time or the stamina to handle a load and you want more time with your baby.

Now that you know how to go about shopping for babys bedding, your next thought should babys time in the crib. If baby will be using the crib for a year, by all means get more items; but if you are giving a set away as a gift, choose one that will impress both mom and baby.

Household Chores: Grout Cleaning

By Rick Amorey

For every household problem, there are various homebrew remedies available to anyone who bothers to listen to what the majority says. This seems to be the case even when talking about the seemingly mundane task of grout cleaning. It seems that as long as something needs to be done with regularity, people look for cheap, and apparently effective methods to do the job.

But the truth of the matter is; almost every last one of these homebrew remedies are not really that effective. Let's take the task of cleaning grout, for example. I've been hearing that vinegar is an efficient way of cleaning out grout. I'm sure the acidic properties of vinegar had something to do with that notion, but I'm of the opinion that all vinegar will do is make your bathroom or kitchen smell a lot more sour than normal.

I would not recommend you to use any of these homebrewed remedies. Instead, it's a lot more efficient to clean it the old regular way: It's best o clean by using some detergent and some elbow-grease. Scrub that grout at least once a week, and scrub as often as you can. It'll stop unwanted filth, dirt and hazardous material from seeping into your grout.

What if you weren't too enthusiastic about cleaning the grout, though? You do have better things to do with your time and energy than scrub away at narrow spaces on the floor. What if you're really not able to prevent dirt from settling on the grout? If that's how it goes, then maybe you should consider calling on the professionals to do the job for you.

Professional grout cleaners aren't that hard to locate in this particular scenario. Just go on a search engine on the Internet and you're bound to find a professional or two to help with your problem. They will check on your grout and all you have to do is look and see them work their magic.
