Dachshunds were originally bred in Germany to be courageous, tough and persistent in order to hunt badgers and also foxes and rabbits. Their small size and short legs enabled them to dig foxes, badgers, and rabbits out of their dens. Dachshund, means "Badger Dog". Dachshunds were originally larger than seen today but were bred to be smaller towards the end of the 19th century.
Things You’ll Need:
* Feed bowl
* water bowl
* collar
* dog bed
* Suitable toys
Step1
Grooming. Short haired Dachshunds will require only occasional grooming, long haired Dachshunds will require daily grooming.
A brush or grooming mitt will be needed to prevent the hair from becoming matted and to remove loose hairs. Long Haired dogs will require a stiff brush, whereas short haired dogs will require a soft brush.
Rubber Grooming Mitts fit over the hand allowing the dog to be groomed whilst firmly stroked.
Claws may require trimming from time to time with a pair of nail clippers.
Step2
The amount of food required will depend on its size and also on its age and daily exercise. Most commercially prepared dog foods will include a feed chart indicating the average food requirement by size of dog and this will act as a reasonable guide.
It is important when changing foods to do so gradually by feeding the old food with a small amount of the new food and then over a few days decreasing the amount of old food and increasing the amount of new. This should avoid any stomach upset due to change of diet and is particularly important with puppies and young dogs.
Step3
The Dachshund is very active and needs regular exercise. Early training is recommended. Long Haired Dachshunds require regular grooming and regular ear cleaning is needed for all varieties of Dachshunds.

Introduction to Bass Guitar Basics
In this segment we would be discussing the introductory basic to the bass guitar. We would be talking about the components of the guitar itself, the body, the head, the neck. We would be demonstrating on our 4 string base though you might own a 5 string or a 6 string we recommend learning first with the 4 string base. Well at least these 4 strings EAD and G. Whether it is 6 strings, whether it is how to tune using the electric tuner or using your ear. We would talk about proper positioning, about how to pluck the strings. We would talk about the different methods but we would go probably concentrates in using our fingers as oppose as a pick or our thumb. Those are reliable techniques to you would rather work on the harder one and the more rewarding. We would talk about notes on the top 2 strings the low E and the A string on our bass ans we would learn the natural notes on those plus a melody. By the end we would be playing Mary Had a Little Lamb and we would understand also in between where our sharps and our flats can be found. How to read base clef and how to read notes as well.

How to Clean a DVD Player
Source: www.ehow.com
This brief walk-through will teach you a quick and efficient way to clean your dvd player, as well as tips to keep it maintained.
Things You’ll Need:
* Air Duster
* Cleaning Disc
* Q-Tips
* Rubbing Alcohol
* Screw Driver
* 3 in 1 Oil
Step1
First you will want to start by, unplugging your DVD player from the wall and tv, and move it to a more suitable working environment, like a table or desk.
Step2
Examine the outside of the DVD player, around the vents for the cooling fans, and look for any excessive dust build up, if the vent area seems to have a small quilt of dust on it, it has been way to long since you cleaned! You dont want to blow this dust with the air duster, as it will spread back into the DVD player, however, if your dust build up is light, you can begin by blowing through the machine. If you open the drawer, on some models this will allow you to blow all the way through the DVD player.
Step3
Next, you can put your cleaning disc in and relax as it plays through, however, if you had the "Quilt 'O Dust" mentioned above, your dvd player is most likely still not playing correctly. If the cleaning disc played through, you can stop here, if you had the quilt of dust, you will need to do a bit more thorough of a cleaning, continue to the next step if this is your case, otherwise.. go watch a movie!
Step4
Ok, now for the fun part, and a crash course in electronics. We will now disassemble your dvd player for a good clean. First looks around the seams of the dvd player for the screw holes, and for security tape. (There should be a piece of tape on the dvd player that would break if the dvd player's case is opened, this will VOID YOUR WARRANTY, continue only if you could care less about your warranty or its expired) Now once you have made your decision to open it up anyways... remove the screws on the bottom side, so that you are removing only the outer casing of the DVD player. Now that you see all the insides of the dvd player, start removing the heavy dust collections around your vents by hand, after you have completed this, you can go over all of the insides with the air duster, just be sure not to tilt, shake, or hold the can upside down, the liquid nitrogen that comes out can damage your electronics and your skin!
Step5
Once you have the inside blown down, you can get your rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, dip your q-tip in the alcohol, and use this to wipe down the laser, you can also use the alcohol on the rails that the laser is guided on if there is dust here as well, do not use the alcohol on any of the circuits, or the boards they are on, just the laser, the rails it rides on, and if it has small belts on it, you can clean them and around them with the alcohol.
Step6
Once this is wiped down, and you have let it dry (wont take but a minute) get your 3-1 oil, and dip another qtip in it, and lightly brush some on the rails the laser rides on for a smoother move, this may even make your dvd player run a bit quieter, you can also use this on any gears you may see that are attached to belts. Make sure not to get any on or around the laser, or on any of the circuit boards, be very careful.
Step7
Once you have done all of this, you can begin to put your DVD player back together, once its together, you can run the cleaning disc, however, this probably isnt necessary, as you just cleaned the laser with alcohol. Your DVD player should now be restored to practically new!
