Boric acid can affect the health of your baby. If you're pregnant and get a yeast infection, talk to your OB/GYN about alternate treatment. Do not use boric acid suppositories. Do not use boric acid if you have any broken skin that the boric acid can possibly contact. This includes open sores, wounds, or cuts in or around your vagina. Also be sure to wear gloves if you make your own capsules and have cuts on your hands. If the powder contacts your skin (other than inside your vagina where it's meant to dissolve), wash the area thoroughly. Boric acid can be a safe and effective treatment for yeast infections when inserted into your vagina. However, never take a boric acid capsule by mouth. Boric acid is toxic when taken orally. If you accidentally swallow boric acid, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Ingesting boric acid causes vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain and can be fatal. If someone else accidentally swallows it, be prepared with the following information when you call for emergency services: The person's age, weight, and condition (awake/unconscious/vomiting, etc.), how much was swallowed, and what time it was swallowed. In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with the poison control center for further tips while waiting for emergency services.

Summary: Do not use boric acid if you're pregnant. Use alternate treatment if you have open wounds on your vagina. Do not ingest boric acid.

You don't want to be running around looking for cleaning products with a wet dog in the tub, so have everything in one place before you start. You should also make sure that you're properly dressed in clothes you don't mind getting messy because you will get wet. At the very least, you will need: Dog shampoo Treats Several towels Place one towel on the edge of the tub to keep water from splashing over the tub. The rest are for drying. Some dogs like to make a run for it during bath-time. If this describes your dog, buy a dog bath lead from the pet supply store. It's a leash that attaches to the shower's wall with a suction cup and keeps your dog in place during the bath. Replace the dog's regular collar with one that will not stain the coat or suffer water damage. A slip lead that adjusts to a struggling dog is best but the dog may choke itself no matter the restraint so monitor his breathing carefully and adjust or simply push them back when necessary. Use a squeegee or use your hand as a squeegee to force water off of the coat and body. Towel-dry him as best as you can while he's still in the tub, so you don't make a mess. Place the towel over your dog's back, or hold it next to him and give permission to shake the water off their body. Many dogs will learn the "bath rules" and wait to shake until you have placed the towel over them to contain the water droplets. Another type of towel to use is a chamois, which is a thin fleece-like towel that is designed to be wrung out when wet. It lessens the number of towels needed and does the bulk of the work. Using a chamois, then a towel makes drying less of a hassle. If you have a double-coated or long-haired dog, you may need to blow the coat dry.

Summary: Gather your supplies. Secure the dog in the bathtub. Dry your dog.

One old standby for any musician's name is to make a reference to a musical concept or piece of terminology. Some of the most famous artists of all time have used this well-worn trick (see: The Beatles, The Moody Blues, etc.). Ideally, if you do this, you might want to make reference to musical terms that are likely to be understood by a wide audience for instance, while almost everyone knows what a "beat" is, not everyone will know what the term "syncopation" means. Below are just a few ideas for the types of words you may want to incorporate into your name: Musical terminology (beat, note, tempo, chord, song, symphony, etc.) Music genres (rock, disco, techno, etc.) Specific songs or bands (for example, Radiohead, Phoenix, and The Rolling Stones are all named after other bands' songs). Some musical artists, including DJs, choose to simply use their real name as their stage name. Others, however, modify their name in a way that makes it catchy or memorable. Some even choose to change their name in a way that makes it a pun or play on words your ability to do this, obviously, depends on what your actual name is. For example, M.I.A, the Sri Lankan rapper with international hits like "Paper Planes", uses a name that is a play on her own (Maya), as well as a reference to the abbreviation for the term "Missing in Action". Another well known example is Eminem this name is a reference to the artist's initials (MM, for Marshall Mathers) as well as the phonetic pronunciation of his old stage name (M&M). If there are certain things, places, people, or ideas in your life that are extremely important to you, consider referencing them (or just outright including them) in your DJ name. There are a huge range of possible topics to draw from that range from silly to grim whatever is important to you in life is fair game. Below are just a few ideas of the sorts of things you may want to consider using in your name: Religious references (see: Matisyahu) Political references (see: Rage Against the Machine) Literary references (see: Modest Mouse, As I Lay Dying) References to specific people or places (see: Lynyrd Skynyrd) Sometimes, it's easiest to come up with a good name simply by studying other people's name. However, when you're trying to get inspiration from the names of great DJs, remember that your ultimate goal is to stand out from the pack not blend into it. Just a few of the most influential DJs and beatmakers ever from the worlds of dance music and hip hop are listed below there are many, many more: DJ Shadow Tiesto Belleville 3 A-Trak Grandmaster Flash Diplo Jam Master Jay Deadmau5
Summary: Use a musical reference. Modify your own name. Include ideas that are important to you. Be familiar with the world's most famous DJs.
