Guidelines and Instructions for Controlling Meat and Poultry Products Pending FSIS Test Results
Today, FSIS posted to its website a
compliance guide
to help domestic establishments and importers of record comply with the agency's new policy in which product that FSIS tests for adulterants will not be allowed to move into commerce until acceptable results become available.
This policy becomes effective Feb. 8. Specifically, the guide articulates which products and FSIS sampling and testing programs are subject to this policy, how domestic establishments and importers of record can meet the agency's requirement for meat and poultry establishments to hold or control product when FSIS collects a sample, and how domestic establishments and importers of record can determine the amount of product to hold or control. FSIS posted this compliance guide at
This guide represents the agency's current thinking on this topic and should be considered usable as of its issuance. FSIS is providing 60 days for public comment, and the guidance document may be updated in response to the comments.
FSIS also issued instructions to inspection program personnel to implement the new policy and procedures that are effective Feb. 8 at

NACMCF Re-Charters With New Members
On Jan. 28, USDA announced the re-chartering of the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) and welcomed the addition of new members.
The committee is charged with providing recommendations to the Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services (HHS) on microbiological criteria by which the safety and wholesomeness of food can be assessed. That work includes criteria for microorganisms that indicate whether foods have been adequately and appropriately processed.
Committee membership consists of scientists from academia, industry, other organizations, and federal and state governments, as well as one individual affiliated with a consumer group, who serves in a representational capacity.
NACMCF members are appointed by the USDA Secretary in consultation with the Secretary of HHS, with advice on membership from the Department of Commerce's National Marine Fisheries Service, the Department of Defense's Logistics Agency, and HHS' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The current charter for NACMCF and a list of the 22 newly appointed and eight returning members can be viewed at
NACMCF members serve a 2-year renewable term. The committee meets approximately twice annually, while subcommittees meet more often as necessary. Background materials are also available on the website.
FSIS to Extend Comment Period for Federal Register Notice
On Dec. 6, 2012, FSIS published a Federal Register notice to inform establishments producing not ready-to-eat (NRTE) ground or otherwise comminuted chicken and turkey products that they must reassess their HACCP plans for these products to take into account several recent
outbreaks associated with the consumption of comminuted NRTE turkey products.
In response to a request made during the current comment period, FSIS will accept comments for an additional 45 days, until April 20, 2013. The agency will also provide an additional 45 days for establishments that produce NRTE comminuted chicken or turkey products to reassess their HACCP plans for those products. As explained in the Federal Register notice, FSIS is requiring the reassessments because of the outbreaks and recalls that have occurred. Establishments should use this additional time to conduct an in-depth reassessment of their HACCP plans for those products.
FSIS will postpone the date that inspection personnel will begin verifying that those establishments have reassessed their HACCP plans by approximately 45 days. In addition, starting approximately on April 20, 2013, the agency intends to begin the new sampling of NRTE comminuted chicken and turkey product that was announced in the notice.
The agency is accepting comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at
The notice is also available on FSIS' website at

This year also marks 20 years since a major
E. coli
O157:H7 outbreak led to that strain being declared an adulterant and 15 years of HACCP. How has food safety evolved? What has been the impact of a HACCP-based system and the battle against O157:H7 on FSIS, establishments, and consumers? What new strategies have recently been deployed, and what is the next advancement for food safety? The answers to these questions and more will be discussed.
USDA has hosted the Agricultural Outlook Forum since 1923 to provide farmers, ranchers, government and agribusinesses with sound information for decision-making. Attendees are expected to include members of farm organizations, food and fiber firms, academia, foreign governments and the news media.

Hot air ballooning over the Pilanesberg Game Reserve
Did you know?
The Pilanesberg balloon company Flying Pictures has over 30 years and 7 000 combined flying experience.
If you're visiting the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, right next door to Sun City, why not take the opportunity to do something different and go hot air ballooning over the Pilanesberg.
The Pilanesberg Game Reserve, situated in the caldera of a 1.3 million-year-old extinct volcano, is a wonderfully scenic reserve replete with mountains, valleys, plains, rocky outcrops and a huge dam.
Only three decades ago this 55 000ha game reserve was nothing more than overused and abandoned farmland. Then, in 1979, along came Operation Genesis – at the time one of the most ambitious rehabilitation and game-stocking programmes in the world. Today over 7 000 animals (including the Big Five) roam the reserve's diverse ecosystems.
Pilanesberg is also home to hundreds of bird species and you may well find yourself eye-to-eye with a Verreaux or Tawny eagle as your hot air balloon floats high over the surrounding countryside.
Depending on wind and weather conditions, you'll fly at anything from treetop height to just over 1 800m.
You'll see lots of game on this aerial safari – herds of antelope, grazing white rhino (the Pilanesberg is one of the best places in the world to see white rhino), stately giraffe, scampering zebra, browsing elephants, herds of buffalo, and, if you're lucky, lions and maybe even a leopard.
But ballooning is not just about game-spotting. No longer earth-bound, just soak up the tranquillity, shed your stress, and watch Africa's majesty drift slowly beneath you.

One Injured in Atlanta School Shooting: How to Stop the Violence?
Do you believe Obama's gun control proposals will help prevent school shootings?
Another school shooting took place in Atlanta Thursday, the Huffington Post reports. A student opened fire at Price Middle School, shooting a 14-year-old in the neck before being stopped by an armed officer at the school. The wounded boy was taken to a nearby hospital and later discharged, the website reports. The school does have metal detectors, and it's unclear how the weapon got inside, Fox Atlanta reports. This incident is the latest school shooting in recent months. Most notably, 26 people, mostly elementary school children, were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. in December. The Newtown shooting sparked a nationwide debate over gun control. President Obama made several proposals regarding the topic in mid…

Hi George. I'm happy for your participation. You asked "Can you elaborate on your inclusion of the word "Considering" in the name for this group?" I can.
I used it for three reasons:
Did you imagine anything other than these? Do we have a problem? There certainly isn't a lot of doing. (In the past 10 months I've been on Facebook more than on Home Energy Pros.)
Thanks for the welcome message David.
I think this group is very important for this site, despite a small following at the moment. Bill Mollison -- perhaps the father of permaculture -- advocates working by a definition of "sustainable" that gets to the heart of our collective work as home energy professionals. To paraphrase, he says that to be "sustainable," a system must produce energy, sufficient to completely replace itself at least once within its lifecycle. While this may present a challenge too tough for many systems to actually achieve, I believe it greatly clarifies the edges of an important concept, frequently subjected to sloppy use and implementation.
Can you elaborate on your inclusion of the word "Considering" in the name for this group?
The permaculture enthusiasts on Facebook are happy to be connected, at least in my experience. If you want more peeks into the culture, send some friend requests.
Andrew Faust, lead teacher of my permaculture design certificate course, spoke recently in Brooklyn, NY. Here's a recording.
I added this video featuring David Holmgren to the Resources section, 3rd bullet.
A current discussion at the Transition Vermont site pushed me to post:
When folks regard the living life support system, as it manifests where they are, with passion and discover or develop visions of life in harmony with it, their consciences will alter their missions and support/reinforce the various disciplines of harmonious coexistence.

Next, are Dedicated Servers. These seem to be most leased by small hosting business employers who have out grown reseller policies. But some companies that run net use a dedicated server instead because of a shared hosting plan due at performance and security. These get mostly higher end sites with heaps of traffic and database interactions. If you have questions about your entire website start with a shared agenda and if this does not now have the speed you need then look a dedicated server. Depending regarding your system admin skills and resources it can be managed or unmanaged. A managed server means the very company provides support and maintenance those as troubleshooting downtime, OS upgrades, installing programs, monitoring system performance, etc.
The values for web hosting services are several different for different packages. It could be ranging from free to hundreds in dollars. The web hosing web hosting service . websites doesn't require special tools, and that's exactly why it is available at totally free. It doesn't have large number pointing to viewers. There are several boundaries of free web hosting; like keep in mind this lets you to run banner campaigns only. The web hosing pertaining to ecommerce websites is usually paid.
Around case of any unspecified downtime, if you think you do not have the fantastic resources in your company, your extensive network could go down, stopping connections and business dealings. However, a lot of the managed http://www.web24.com.au include their monitoring system that can allow the professionals from your service provider to straight away address the situation. Having made hosting servers can reduce your improvised downtimes considerably and get the web site back live within a short duration. For an ecommerce oriented business growing on customer sales, such managed enterprise servers can come as a beneficial tool to prevent any potential accident scenarios.
Per 2000 Pew poll showed about one-quarter of the local and national correspondents said they purposely avoided newsworthy stories, while nearly as many acknowledge the businesses softened the tone of stories to learn interests of their news organizations. Four-in-ten (41%) admitted they engaging in both or both of these self-censorship plans.
Which means that a number of websites can find yourself hosted on a single machine. However, VPS creates such an surroundings that it seems as if simultaneously website is fully independent, exactly in the instant it would be when it runs on the separate machine. A great selling point of VPS is that what happens to server does not have any influence over the other, unlike the shared having server. In shared hosting, 1 set of muscles website goes down, the rest keep in mind. But, virtual private servers are free of this is what fault, whether people are using Windows os VPS or any other.
Could certainly get shared Unix hosting plans to as little as a couple concerning dollars a month. But a great number of companies offering these plans are affordable startups operating with a Reseller are planning or in some cases an unmanaged server. This limits their initial investment, but also might leave your site with a company that is from the business in a couple of short months.

A wall mounted light, it can be appointed singularly or as a series. It uniquely allows the owner the flexibility to choose a beam of between 10 and 120 degrees, providing a tight beam or wide wash of light, to suit different illumination purposes and create varying environments. It has been designed with both stylish homes and commercial buildings in mind. The Motorlight Wall is motorised and operated via a remote control, which can power up to 30 lights simultaneously, allowing you to control the shaft of light and brightness on each luminaire, individually or as a group. This enables you to synchronize multiple lights. The motorised shutter smoothly opens between maximum and minimum angle on a 45 second cycle. The remote itself strikes a beautiful form.

Finding Another Way To Live The Dream
When I was a kid, I wanted to be one of two things. An astronaut or a competitive figure skater. In the end it didn't come down to a choice of love or money. My problems with math sidelined the first and, as for the second, let's just say my center of gravity stopped cooperating [...]

WINNSBORO — The Fairfield Central Lady Griffins won in convincing fashion Friday night in their match up with North Central.
Using smothering defense, they held the Lady Knights scoreless for the entire second quarter. That effort, coming on the heels of a first quarter burst that gave the Lady Griffins a 23-7 lead, allowed the team to cruise to victory in the second half of a 66-20 victory.
The visitors from Kershaw had no answer to a balanced Griffin offense. Tanise Davis led all scorers with 22 points for the Lady Griffins.
Other players in double figures included Jada Martin with 17 points, Chelsea Siebles with 11 and Chyna Moore with 10. The team improved to 13-3 on the season and 4-1 in region play with the victory.
Next up for the Griffins are the Columbia Capitals on Jan. 22 at Fairfield Central High School.

Because Godzilla's Atomic Ray is probably much hotter then 3000 degrees, which is past Silicons melting point. His Atomic Ray is going to hurt Legion a helluva lot more then Gamera's Plasma Fire Balls.

As the ACC's spring practices get under way, we'll be previewing the big storylines for each of the league's 14 (15, in this case) teams. Check back on weekdays for what to look out for during your school's spring practices and spring game.
Team: NC State Wolfpack
Spring Practice Start Date: March 19
Spring Game Date: April 20
While NC State certainly takes a step forward on the field by hiring former Northern Illinois head coach Dave Doeren, you can't deny they lose a masterful troll letting go of Tom O'Brien. Amazing 16-wheeler aside though, this spring's all about transition for the Pack, as Doeren brought along his own staff as part of the new regime. New terminology, new playbooks, and a new approach to games is only part of it too, as the team also ushers in a new collection of potential playmakers to replace several starters that departed for the NFL Draft. Needless to say, it's going to be a very busy month down in Raleigh.
Off the bat, State players better be ready to run, as Doeren brings along his spread offense from NIU. After years of running a "vanilla," pro-style scheme under O'Brien, offensive players will certainly embrace the change, but not without struggle. On top of the complete play-calling overhaul, they'll be breaking in a new quarterback to run the show, with little indication on who may end up winning the job right now. The current favorite, however, is Colorado State transfer Pete Thomas; the only passer on the roster with notable college experience. He'll also be challenged by sophomore Manny Stocker, who was handed little opportunity to show off his stuff last year, but appears better suited for the type of attack Doeren ran with quarterback Jordan Lynch last year (which included plenty of rushing attempts from the QB position). On the bright side, though, the Pack is more than settled at both the wide receiver and running back spots, after seeing bursts of brilliance from Bryan Underwood and Shadrach Thornton, respectively, last season. While nothing's guaranteed under the new coaching staff for these two standouts, both will have ample opportunities to embrace leadership roles as the team adapts to their new surroundings.

Pinot Grigio
I found this a great example of New Zealand Pinot Gris with aromas of pear drops, candied apple, fresh figs and Mirabelle plums. I likened it to a rich Alsace style (similar to the 2003 vintage perhaps?) An off-dry entry leads into a textured mid-palate, with nice acidity on the sides, and the wine ends with a soft, non-bitter finish. Good concentration of fruit weight means for me this is an elegant yet full-bodied wine that works very well with Asian & lightly spiced dishes.
How others rated this review
Report this review
This strong pinto gris is quite delightful with a lot going on. An entree of 'Goosberry Grand Central' quickly followed by a lemon zing. The complexity is long lasting on the tongue which is when the sultry, even heavy buttery / vanilla overtones hits you, very wet, yet a slighlty dry finish. The finish leaves you unclear as to what of these various sensations won the the day and therefore you quoff a little more to try again. Lovely. I am unsure as to what food you would match this to, but you know what? it's an easy drink and therefore I recommend nothing more than some salty Cashews from sainsburys. There are no down sides to this quite singular wine.
Dangerously drinkable! Luscious but not cloying, off dry but not sickly, and with enough acidity to balance it out and keep it refreshing. Drank a glass as an aperitif and another with curry, which it matched well. Notes of pear drops, honey, peach, with some citrus and mineral hints, and a rich nutty finish. Quite delicious.
A lovely fresh white wine, superb with Thai food or on its own. Would be superb in the summer but last night with the log fire blazing it was wonderful too!
Nice and fruity but not overly sweet
This is so delicious, liquid honey, no steeliness at all just subtle tropical fruit . Classy.
Thai me up, Thai me down.
"I've been looking for an excuse to say 'thai me up' for a while, and Waimea's Pinot Gris is the perfect opportunity to do so. Off-dry in style, though with enough stone and tropical fruit to give make it feel a little sweeter than it is, good acidity balances this out nicely and it's quite voluptuous without being fat or overly viscous. Works well as an aperetif, but serve it alongside Geang Massaman or Panang and you'll see why Alsatian-style wines suit asian cooking so well. The fruit and touch of sweetness are the perfect foil to gentle (and not-so gentle) spice."
A great example of pinot gris at its very best (2011 Vintage)
"A great example of pinot gris at its very best, this is full flavoured, broad and textured with tasty melon and spice flavours as well as honeysuckle aromas. (Jamie Goode, Sunday Express, 24th March 2013)"
A proud showcase of what Pinot Gris can do in New Zealand (2010 Vintage)
"A delicate pink hue to the colour (typical of Pinot Gris) with a malty, savoury edge to the round and generous peach and mango aromas. Succulent in fruit and with a lovely creamy texture, this is a proud showcase of what Pinot Gris can do in New Zealand. Rating: 87/100 (The Wine Gang, www.thewinegang.com November 2012)"

Decimate Christendom
This is old school old school. More than any album I can recall this year this record sounds like a band doing one or two take shots and living with what they get. All the tightness - or lack thereof - comes from rehearsal. The sound is live, period. The only studio enhancements would be the environment this disc was recorded in. So the question is, does that make for a good or bad record?
Good. Maybe not good the way a 666 record is good, but good in a cleansing, no bullshit way. This is a good band playing good songs and no other thing. You have to be good to go this agricultural, and Incantation pull it off with ease. It's not that they are playing music that is intricate enough to throw a decent band, but more that they are playing like naturals, like they were born to the music; an organ of pure death metal.
None of this should come as news to fans, of course, but to the uninitiated metalheads this is something to look into. The songs are never terribly fast, and sometimes become doomishly slow, with the kind of pure distortion that makes your hair shrivel at a live show. The drums are one of my favorite aspects of this disc, though. Deep, expansive and kittish, they truly sound like a set of drums instead of a Trent Reznor epileptic seizure - nothing against NIN.
The production is minimal, but apparent. The sound, for all its immediacy is also very clean. You can hear everything you need to, including occasional fuckups. It's not going to blow the speakers out in your superfly Honda FnF2 go nowherefast special, but it makes the points that need to be made.
All in all I have to call this a success, if not a must have. It's pure, clean and evil death metal the way it was…well, not meant to be played, but played before computers made it possible for any kid with a grand to make a professional sounding recording. It's a damned good mix of doomish riffs and death metal pummel that ought to make any real lover of the form produce a satisfied grimace of hate and antichristian malice. No awards, no end of year list, but a solid entry from a solid band!

middle finger images | |||
2. | Middle Finger | ||
1)Actually began back in medieval times. French warriors would cut off the middle finger of British archers since this was the finger used to pull the string back on the bow. Archers who replaced them would stick their middle fingers up mocking the French showing them they got their finger and they're gonna launch an arrow through your head.
2)In present day, a gesture meaning fuck you, also an easy way to end a conversation Do you really need an example for the Middle Finger?...
3. | middle finger | ||
to show those bloody wankers that you still have your plucking finger originated in the hundred years war. often used in New York City as a way to say hello. oi you bloody wankers I still have my plucking finger and my longbow! oh and here is a sentence with the word middle finger in it.

the longest finger in your hand, when put up singly, it means Fuck You or FUck OFF, a very simple and used gesture tat every1 overuses, yet so fun, get pissed, stick the middle finger, no need for conversation, jus stick it up, and ur done Girl: "U gave me the middle finger!"
Man: "WEll u want it up, or in ur pussy" |
6. | middle finger | ||
international understanding of 'fuck you' Girl A: You're a lesbian right? You're just using Bob as a fake boyfriend, right?
Girl B: (holds up middle finger) |
7. | Middle Finger | ||
A finger that's typically used to tell people to go to hell and/or to fuck themselves by being positioned upright while the other fingers are facing down inside the palm of the hand. I don't regard the middle finger as a negative physical gesture; whenever someone flicks me off I always assume they're conveying, "Excuse me kind sir, but I'd like to introduce you to the pleasures of prostate massage." To which I respond, "Why thank you considerate stranger, I gratefully accept your generous offer; please lead the way so we may begin to experiment."

Okay then, let's rename this thread the Pet Advice Discussion Forum...
Can you just do that, I mean, I may not be ready and all, hell you can't just jag off on a tangent like that, can you? And I'm wary, because you changed it to Pet Advice, but you didn't actually ask for any, spooky.
Dear Damian,
My labrador is afraid of guns, yet I like guns. How should I resolve this situation?
Thanks in advance.
She is also soft on terrorism -
Email Web
Sorry, the above post was supposed to if not say, then certainly imply:
they respond incredibly
I had a cat once, who responded when I whistled - ie, a tune. She'd come running from quite a distance to say hello.
Mmmkay no need to like shout man, it's just that you got all cat mind weldy there and I didn't get the vibe.
There is nothing you can do about cats, they are senders and receivers, dogs are just receivers, a hippy told me and he had cake.
Dogs are soft on terrorists, children are terrorists...my fav dog is Dr Bob. -
Cats are nature's alarm clocks, but they just can't be set.
Mine does this thing where he walks up and digs under the covers, then gets out, then gets back in again etc etc until I finally get out. This is better than his other technique where he sits on my head. Bastard.
My advice: train them when they're kittens. Too late for that? Lock the bedroom door and ignore them.
My cats come when I whistle. My Dad used to do it to our old cat so I taught ours to do it as well.
I am the cat whispering guinea pig. I can also wiggle my ears, eyes and nostrels, although with guinea pigs it's no big thing. Much as i would love to aid guinea pig-human understanding, our body language is too complex and subtle to even try and explain (this derives from the fact that we can really only sniff, struggle, squark and waddle - no Rodney Hide jokes please).
Che, tongue clicks are indeed the best mode of oral communication with cats (no other epithets for Rodney Hide jokes here either thank you), although like dogs they do respond to tone.
Damian, watch out your RD (it looks like a nice one btw) doesn't gnaw off long threads of wool, it can cause really serious problems with their gut (strangulated colon etc). As for 4am wake-ups, i haven't been able to fix that one myself, i hope they grow out of it. i know i did.
My advice: train them when they're kittens. Too late for that? Lock the bedroom door and ignore them.
that is good advice (if you can stand the scratches on the carpet, wallpaper, door until they get used to it). the trick with extinction is if you are going to open the door, then do it as soon as they let you know they want it opened. if you're not going to then make sure you don't whatever you do, or at least wait until they've stopped exhibiting the 'open the door, human' behaviour before you open it. the worst thing you can do is let them scratch/meow for ages and then open the door. that just trains persistence.
My cats come when I whistle
yeah, they're much more trainable than people think, but being cats they are happy to let humans think it's only dogs that can be trained.
We are able to close our cat off in the back of the house, from upstairs then we cannot hear him trying to wake us up.
D. you're right about the attention thing. some cats like to be ignored. but others are like dogs and just love you to death.
advice: don't start loving her back.
and... i always thought your avatar was a speedboat crashing.
seemed weirdly appropriate.
I am the cat whispering guinea pig.
Respect, you are that and more. BTW, don't give up on human GP understanding, it's just an interface and the right GP away.
i always thought your avatar was a speedboat crashing
Che, you need to rest your eyes a bit more.
don't give up on human GP understanding
i know, i know, i should keep trying. i'm just annoyed with what they're doing with that new Straw and Woodshavings tax (like as if it will reduce our consumption), and they just don't get the pleasures of wallowing around in your own poo pellets. that's a discrimination i just don't know if we can get past.
Well at least you don't get farmed for food anymore, there is hope, I blame the hampsters, little bleeders.
And how come you know about persistence my hairless pink friend? -
Email Web
Damian, watch out your RD (it looks like a nice one btw) doesn't gnaw off long threads of wool, it can cause really serious problems with their gut
Okay, since this is now the official pet appreciation/advice thread, I do need to clarify, he's a Birman. His name is Tonka. And if I ever actually caught him gnawing my wool, his colon would be the last thing he'd have to worry about. No, he's a stealth wool-eater my Tonks. I think I need to bring in expert help. If only I could find a dog that wasn't soft on terrorism.
And Che, good grief. Strangely appropriate because I told you that when I grow up I wanted to be a speedboat? Still do. But no, man, no. There's a slightly-doctored but larger and therefore more Che-friendly version of that photo here
wicked. now i get it.
main thing to remember is that cats are attention seekers because they are basically social animals.
like dogs, if they're taught properly when they're young they can be very well behaved. but even if they're older there is redemption.
the cat 'romany' i mentioned before had been pretty badly treated by her previous people, and wouldn't let anyone touch her. scratched everyone and anyone.
after about a year of gentle goading you could pick her up and blow bubbles on her belly.
Email Web
Why do cats go and stare at things? Our dear cat P.T.Barnum (he was a Clayton cat, Che) who went to valhalla last year, used to go and stare at the ceiling for 10 minutes after his breakfast for a couple of months. Then he didn't.
Can they see ghosts? -
Well at least you don't get farmed for food anymore
we don't talk about that
I blame the hampsters
buck-toothed tosspots. we certainly don't talk about them either. actually we're pretty big on not talking about stuff. you may have noticed this trait.
And how come you know about persistence my hairless pink friend
the opening the door after letting them go on for ages is in fact a Variable Ratio (VR) schedule, the same schedule that gets humans pulling on the levers of One Armed Bandits til they run out of money and family. it's a mighty powerful one. Alternatively, opening the door as soon as they omit the 'open the door, human' is a Continuous Reinforcement (CRF) schedule, which is highly prone to extinction - which in this case is what you want.
Incidentally, and you might like this m, if you have a subject responding on a VR schedule and then switch it to a Variable Time (VT) schedule, you get superstitious behaviour (ie. behaviour performed in the presence of a stimulus that is not maintained by any causal relationship to reinforcement). And that doesn't extinguish very easily at all. You can train superstitious behaviour in just about any species. Can you tell I'm a refugee from an experimental psych lab yet?
he's a stealth wool-eater my Tonks
he's a fine animal. if you are worried, try getting some sacrificial woolen fabric and rub it liberally with fresh chilli, then leave it around for him to discover. Don't use a sauce because it will smell and his aversion may not generalize to other wool like you want it to. He will probably only do it once. Leave some milk or something cooling for him too.
Why do cats go and stare at things
my mother also thinks her cat can see ghosts. maybe, but i think it's actually because a lot of cats are enlightened and the staring is just when they are in samadhi. when they open and close their paws, like they're kneading thin air, when you scratch their stomachs? that's also samadhi.
from memory early in this thread, the issue was about dogs and the media, how a "dog bites man" had become a "man bites dog" story in New Zealand, when lo and behold, today the herald runs a dog bites dog story [url/link http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10437366]
and then there was Flann O'Brien (again !) who in Anthony Cronin's biography No Laughing Matter is described as the .. "Man Whom No Dog Ever Bit"
Cronin recounts the story..
"The Conollys also had a dog called Adam who had become rather wicked. One day when Brian (FOB real name was Brian Nolan) came to the house, Angela told him to go into the drawing room where Adam was, but not to touch the dog in case he got bitten. 'No dog ever bit me,' was the reply. Moments later he emerged with blood pouring from his head. In spite of the plainly visible wound, he denied he had indeed been bitten."
Agent Riddley you are a never ceasing marvel. I was the first to condition my rat (computer simulation I won't hurt lives, only souls) at Uni. I felt your presence, as I'm guessing you were held there where they conducted unspeakable tests upon your small pink person.
However your advice is very sound though your experiences terrible, I think you should have your own guest spot on PAS, I am, yes, your very big fan.
Our cat Bysshe, a black from Te Awamutu via SPCA Auckland (a Watership Downs tale of epic proportions) with a Tui wattle is Mary Shelley returned, there is no training for the author of Frankenstein, her 2 main incindents of note, eating white-tails, hence Bysshe does what She bloody well likes.
A little cat bed works well (filled with catnip laced victims) and a cat door is a must, BTW. -
thanks m. it takes a certain feel to be able to condition a subject quickly, computer sim or no. it's not surprising you possess such a feel.
female black cats are notoriously untrainable though from my experience. which is i presume why you like her.
these guys on the other hand (Bengals) here and here behave like dogs.tell me, do you think 'trainability' is related to intelligence, and if so, how?
Well my pod head would ask for intelligence to be defined and my behaviourist sock would say you can't mentalize, but in the interests of discourse I will say yes that trainability is related to intelligence and that intelligence is related to character and character is both innately and experientially driven. Cats are curious, they can be trained, and bear in mind that they are the only domesticated animal (close proximity to humans has a sorry track record, why dogs can be maudlin and GP's pot shy), to retain the ability to hunt for food, though intelligent enough to simply adopt people if necessary.
The difference between cats and dogs?
Dogs get 50 orders a day, and they obey every one of them, slavishly.
Cats get just one order a day, and they think about whether or not they will take any notice of it, and then just carry on.
pod head is right. then let's define intelligence as the capacity for functional adaptation to an environment. would it be that trainability and intelligence are positively correlated?
The difference between cats and dogs?
Dogs are carrion feeders
Cats only eat fresh meatDog lovers need to be loved
Cat lovers need to love -
Ontologically yes, however remember, it is the crooked roads of genius that lead to the palace of wisdom. And we must look to the inverse, would stupidy negatively correlate to incapacity? It cannot be so. How about intent? Is the intent to train positive or negative? If one is trained and they are unaware of being trained, are they being trained? And what of outcomes? My darker side says to me that all training holds within itself gain for the trainer and loss for the trainee.
Better to give of yourself freely and forget the outcome quickly, thereby freeing yourself of an inexplicable net. For as Blake says, All wholesome food is caught without a net or a trap. -

The Downtown Farmers Market has been in operation for 30 years, and its managers think it's time to freshen things up a bit.
Phil Chmieleski, chairman of the board of the Downtown Partnership, which runs the market, said although there's not a lot to fix, he wants to keep generating excitement.
"We knew we had a great market," he said, "but we don't want to rest on our laurels."
The partnership came up with a list of changes through a visioning committee it created.
"(The market) is a very important social experience, as well as a market," said Ken Shelin, interim market manager. "It creates a sense of community."
That social experience will be enhanced with the addition of more seating areas in the Lemon Avenue courtyard.
Chmieleski said the market wants to bring in more unique vendors, including more organic and green vendors.
The market will cross-promote with downtown merchants, because they feed off of each other.
Chmieleski just received a permit to expand the market to a portion of State Street. That area will not have permanent vendors, though. It will be reserved for special events, such as cooking demonstrations with food purchased at the market.
There was some previous discussion about closing the intersection of Main Street and Lemon Avenue, but it will remain open, and police volunteers will help reduce jaywalking incidents there.
Thirty years ago, the market began with just three vendors as a way to raise money for downtown holiday decorations. Today, there are 48 vendors, and Shelin hopes the improvement plans will create the opportunity for more expansion.
Said Shelin: "It's going to grow. It's going to be more vital."

Quote from VW sales article: The Jetta turbo hybrid, which will go on sale this month, recently achieved a Land Speed Record at Bonneville, posting 185 mph, a record speed for hybrid vehicles.
I was surprised that the Ram sold that well. I haven't seen a single new ram here. Glad VW and GM are selling well.
The Volt did another 2800 units last month
Verano, over 4000. Regal, gulp, 1800.
The Sonic was over 7500 units last month
The Cruze, over 25,000 sales.
The Malibu, not so much, definitely needs a relaunch or alternatively refocus on the Impala while the Malibu gets a quick rework.
Cliff's Notes: They went three months without an automatic transmission in the mix.
Long version: The car was supposed to use a new Fiat-designed auto across the board. Sometime in about January--you know, when the car's launch was imminent--Chrysler realized it just wasn't going to be ready yet, and ended up submitting bids to Aisin (Toyota) and Hyundai Mobis for a stop-gap replacement. Hyundai won because of sheer speed; the Koreans would be able to get the automatic up and running about a month after the car's May launch, which is pretty break-neck when you consider that basically means speccing it out, testing it, building it and delivering it in roughly three months.
And it all would have worked, too...had Chrysler not sent over the wrong specs. Which meant that the transmission didn't work. Which in turn meant automatic production didn't really start until the end of July, and that Chrysler wasn't getting a full supply of automatics from Hyundai until early August.
There have been other Dart issues, too--on the original schedule, all engines and transmission combos were supposed to be available by now (some like the 2.4 still aren't due to the fact that they're not done yet). From what I hear, early Darts are having a LOT of teething issues because of the fact that some electrical issues haven't been resolved yet, either. I wouldn't be surprised to see the first-year Dart perform poorly in quality tests, either.
It's a shame, because it seems like a really nice car.

'Yeah, we'll get you a better car. You want a better engine to go with that? That's coming next year, but we won't make you wait for the car until the next-gen engine or transmission are out.'
I like the look of the new Malibu, but the last one looks better IMO.
That is too bad considering the new JGC and 200 have done really well quality wise. One thing Chrysler did with the new models is almost double the amount of validation miles driven. That will hopefully reduce the chances of a large number of problems with the Dart, but yes I'd worry about a first year car.
Interesting numbers:
The XTS seems to be closing in fast on the CTS. It'll be interesting to see next month if the ATS steals from the CTS.
Cadillac: 12,579
Buick: 14,673
I guess those numbers show why GM kept Buick in North America. With fewer models, Buick has been routinely outselling Caddy. I'm assuming that Buick's line-up of fancier Opels and Chevys is pretty profitable, too. Combined sales of both brands usually makes GM the leader in "premium segment" sales.
Malibu: 11188
Passat: 9500
Despite not being a Fortune Magazine, Motor Trend, or TCL favorite, the Malibu seems to be outselling the sedan that Fortune and MT heap praise upon.

Hyundai Motor America Reports Record September Sales
- Seventh Straight Month Breaking the 60,000 Mark
- Best-Ever September Sales
- 25th Consecutive Year-Over-Year Monthly Sales Increase
COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America wrapped up the third quarter of 2012 setting multiple sales records including a record 60,025 sales for the month of September. Sales were up 15 percent for the month and up 10 percent for the first nine months of the year versus 2011.
"September was a very encouraging month for Hyundai as we avoided the traditional back-to-school sales decline and began to reap the benefits of a materially improved inventory situation on our core vehicle lines," said Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president of sales. "We're well positioned for a strong fourth quarter as sales of the newly launched Elantra GT, Elantra Coupe, the all-new Azera and all-new Santa Fe continued at a brisk pace. Our fourth quarter production plan is up nearly 20 percent on a year-over-year basis."
The all-new Azera and the Elantra family saw sales gains of a remarkable 1028 percent and 27 percent, respectively, over last September. The Tucson saw sales gains of 23 percent over the same period a year ago, and Veloster, the three-door coupe now available in both turbo and non-turbo models, continues to impress with a sales gain of 262 percent. Hyundai fleet sales and mix remained low at a nine percent mix for the month and year-to-date, among the lowest in the industry.

"The Outlander Sport's combination of fuel-efficiency, performance, and style, as highlighted in the 'Unpretentious' Outlander Sport marketing campaign, is obviously resonating with customers," said MMNA President & CEO Yoichi Yokozawa.
Outlander Sport continues to be Mitsubishi's top seller in the U.S. and began production in Normal, Illinois in July.
Overall Mitsubishi sales were 4,806 units, down 17.2 percent compared to September 2011. "Comparisons to last year's total sales are still being slightly affected by some models that ended their production last year," Yokozawa added. "Obviously, this effect will have a diminishing impact over the next few months."

My new favorite video.. - Spotted: Tyra Banks And Her New Boyfriend, Rihanna and Her Brother, Tracee Ellis Ross Getting Cash & Brandy At DisneyLand
I'm just delighted that the Fenty siblings going after their own shine. They could just sit back and leech and call it a day but it's like they all getting in on the hustle. Rajah's Givenchy shoot was awesome and he rocked it and Rorey is actually good and it getting booked by the clubs in London to DJ. The fact that his sis showed up to support him the other night adds to his portfolio.And notice that even though Mel travels with Rihanna she is put to work documenting via photographs the whole experience and even providing singles cover.
Bottom line if you wanna be in that clique yes you have to be self sufficient!
