Taking the Complex Out of Cooking
Wednesday, 16 April 2008
By Stephanie Foster

A lot of people make convenience foods when they eat because that's all they're comfortable with. It seems to be the simplest thing to do. But all those convenience foods typically come with the price of added sodium and fat. They just aren't as good for you as cooking for yourself.

If you don't cook regularly, it sounds pretty intimidating. Lots of people think they can't cook because they haven't done much at all in the kitchen. But some basic ingredients work with most foods: Olive oil, lemon, garlic and pepper.

Salt can help too, of course, but you don't want to overdo it. Most people get more than enough salt in their diets anyhow. And if you don't like garlic, you probably aren't going to use it.

I always say to use olive oil because it is one of the healthiest oils out there, and it has a very light flavor. It's not going to overpower your meal.

Most vegetables you don't even have to do that much, although the flavors really come out with a little seasoning. The quickest way to prepare any vegetable is to boil it until just

Dog Pyometra and Uterine or Womb Infections
Wednesday, 16 April 2008
By John Williams

The symptoms to look out for in case of suspected Dog Pyometra or uterine/womb infections are the following:

1. Loss of appetite 2. The dog is urinating and drinking more water than usual 3. Diarrhea and vomiting. 4. Only happens in female dogs and usually ones that are older or middle aged. 5. An open cervix, that is when a dog is in heat or season, may result in pus discharge from the vagina. This may be hard to notice as the dog may usually lick this off.

Pyometra will only happen or initiate during the dog's season or heat because when a female dog reaches this time it releases eggs from its ovaries which are used for fertilisation. Then, if the dog gets mated and the egg becomes fertilised by the sperm, the bitch will become pregnant and an embryo will develop. After this, these embryos will travel into the dog's womb where they will stay for up to about seven days for a placenta to develop. Once the placenta is developed it will attach itself to the side of the womb allowing the embryos to have food and oxygen from the mother.
