The 300,000 tpy Innovene G and 300,000 tpy Innovene S polyethylene plants will be part of a larger expansion at the complex, according to NYNH officials. The planned commissioning is in 2015 or 2016.
The Innovene G and Innovene S polyethylene
technologies from INEOS have been licensed to OAO
Nizhnekamskneftekhim (NKNH) for the company's new petrochemical project at Nizhnekamsk
in Russia's Republic of Tartarstan, officials said on
The 300,000 tpy Innovene G and 300,000 tpy
Innovene S polyethylene plants will be part of a
larger expansion at the complex, according
to NYNH officials. The planned commissioning for the
complex is in 2015 or 2016.
"By signing the license agreement for INEOS technology, we will be able to
produce various grades of polyethylene and be competitive not
only in Russia and CIS, but also in other foreign countries,"
said Vladimir Busygin, general director of OAO
The combination of Innovene G gas phase fluid bed
and Innovene S slurry phase HDPE provides OAO
Nizhnekamskneftekhim with a complete product
portfolio, according to the company.
The INEOS HPLL metallocene LLDPE film products will be
featured in the product slate along with state of the art
PE-100 pipe grades, premium bimodal HMW HDPE film, bimodal blow
molding and HDPE commodity molding grades.
The carbon black compounding technology from INEOS will
ensure ISO PE-100 qualification of the pipe grades, according
to project officials.
"INEOS Technologies is very proud of the fact that OAO
Nizhnekamskneftekhim has chosen Innovene G and
Innovene S to supply their full range of PE needs for
the new petrochemical project in Nizhnekamsk,"
said Peter Williams, CEO of INEOS Technologies.
"Our polyethylene technology has been recognised as a
worldwide leader and we are confident that it will serve OAO
Nizhnekamskneftekhim's long-term marketing needs domestically
and in export markets."

I seem to be having trouble getting my blogroll to link directly to Google Reader. Yes, I could just enter the URLs one by one but, let's face it, technology has turned me into a wuss. So, I thought I would try something a little different. I have added a new section called "Great Stuff from Other Veg Blogs" in the right column. These are items I have tagged from other blogs that strike me as something I want to try. For the most part I haven't tried them (it's hard to make other peoples' recipes while blogging about your own), but I would like to. Think of these as Vegan Dad's top recipe picks, for whatever that is worth. Hopefully it will steer you to some great recipes from the many great blogs I keep tabs on.

Daytrip: Central Connecticut
This trail leads to burgers
|MERIDEN, CT - 23 August 2012-082312EC04-- Ted's Restaurant features a specialized burger every month at its Meriden location. This month it's the "Porky Pig," with a cheeseburger, barbecue pulled pork, sauteed onions and coleslaw on a roll. Erin Covey Republican American.
In Meriden, Ted's Restaurant is known for its inexpensive steamed burgers with no frills plating. But even the "world famous" burger joint is upping the ante with its new "burger of the month."
August featured the "Porky Pig." On top of a classic cheeseburger oozes out barbecue pork, sauteed onions and chilled coleslaw. Steam pours out of the vat where the meat cooks while the server prepares the burger right in front of ordering patrons. The steam makes the meat extra juicy — but not greasy — and the toppings spill out on all sides. Have it paired with their skins-on hash browns, delivered in a simple paper boat.
If you have guests tag along and they stand divided on steamed or chargrilled burgers, directly across the street is Q.T. Food and Spirits; it offers both.
The area isn't easily walkable so if you are determined to work off the consumed calories, Middletown is a better bet. You wont find K LaMay's on Central Connecticut's official Burgers and Brews Trail, but it's worth a visit for its classically prepared burger, uncomplicated menu and array of flavored sodas. Foxon Park is an East Haven-based soda company. It's clear glass bottles showcasing brightly colored sodas are hard to find at many large grocery chains across New England. On a recent trip, K LaMay's featured 12-ounce white birch, cherry, and grape flavors.
At the north end of Main Street is an equally satisfying steamed burger at O'Rourke's Diner. The menu is eight pages, helpful if those accompanying the trip are burger fatigued. That end of Main Street is worth the walk anyway to stop by NoRA Cupcake Co. Over a dozen intriguing cupcake flavors are displayed and ready for eating on any given day. On our visit, Irish car bombs, hazelnut cappuccino and funky monkey made for tough decisions. The flavors are updated daily on the company's Facebook fan page. A few blocks away is an unexpected nod to urban art, with paintings on concrete known as "Art in the Alley."
If upscale dining is more palatable, West Hartford's burger choices abound. The more gourmet Max Burger features unique, even unusual burger ingredients. Pairings include rosemary aioli, apple honey dijonaise or arugula. The choices of bread alone is a tough decision (brioche, artisan, and whole wheat rolls, among others). Despite the chic ambience, you'll still find yourself messily eating with mouth agape, sauces dripping down your hands.

grate place
He looks a bit like Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner
If only the walls could talk.......what a story they could tell. Great photo!
I knew that this wasn't a photo of a movie~This looked to me to be something that was stumbled upon~I know because I was born with an eye for photography and sound. EXCELLENT SHOT MARKO SAVIC & KEEP UP THE GREAT SHOOTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NATURAL PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so sad pic... nice
This is a very nice picture - I specially like how the light gives a balance to the scene.
Now - how can I recommend a photo for Photo of the Day? I really like Jesus Fuentes' "Spontaneous" (photo 7 of 71) with the juggler and children around him. Jesus has amazing photographs!
It's not a hidden street. Is on corner Keizersgracht and.Leliegracht: World Heritage.
Captures effectively the "sense of place". I love the use of available lighting with the window's soft light and the highlights of the lamps in the scene.
Do you remember the name and street?
Chillingly brilliant photo.

We know that the orbits of Pluto and Neptune overlap. This means that pluto sometimes crosses the orbit of Neptune; will Pluto hit Neptune in any circumstance?
No, Pluto is a so called resonant trans-neptunian object; the orbital period of Pluto is almost exactly 3:2 (1.5) times that of Neptune. This means that every time Pluto nears perihelion and is therefore closest to the Sun and also closest to the orbit of Neptune, Neptune is always at a specific angle (50° according to Wikipedia) in front or behind Pluto. (See for instance Figure 3 and surrounding text in Jewitt, D., Morbidelli, A., & Rauer, H. (2007). Trans-Neptunian Objects and Comets. Springer.)
No. From 1979 to 1999, Pluto was the eighth planet from the sun. In 1999, it slipped beyond Neptune to become the ninth. But Pluto's 248-year orbit around the sun takes it 17 degrees above and below the plane in which Neptune and the other planets travel.
So their paths don't actually cross as they swap positions. Imagine you are the sun in the middle of your back yard. The fence is Neptune's orbit. You toss a boomerang way out over the neighbor's houses and it comes back, being on both sides of your fence during its travels without hitting the fence. Of course, activity like that can be frowned upon, and in Pluto's case helped lead to its demotion.
Reference: Will Pluto Neptune Hit
No, their orbits do not cross. They are just tangled, but in no point they coincide.

The Kochi refinery's delayed coking unit will have the capacity to process 3.84 tpd of vacuum resid and small quantities of clarified oil from the FCC. The unit will be designed to produce sour fuel gas, LPG, naphtha, light and heavy gas oil, and petroleum coke. Lummus Technology will provide basic engineering.
CB&Is Lummus Technology business sector will
license its delayed coking technology to Bharat Petroleum for
the Kochi refinery expansion project in Ambalamugal, India, officials said on
The delayed coking unit (DCU) will have the
capacity to process 3.84 tpd of vacuum resid and small
quantities of clarified oil from the FCC.
The unit will be designed to produce sour fuel gas, LPG,
naphtha, light and heavy gas oil, and petroleum coke.
The addition of the DCU is one part of the Kochi refinery integrated expansion project that includes a crude/vacuum
distillation unit, diesel
hydrotreating unit, VGO hydrotreater and petrochemical FCC unit to increase
product output and quality.
Lummus Technology will provide the basic
engineering and detailed proprietary heater design,
pre-commissioning, commissioning, training and start-up
Meanwhile, CB&Is project engineering and construction sector will provide the
detailed design of the coke drum structure.
The addition of the DCU to the Kochi refinery will support Bharat
Petroleum in expanding its crude processing capacity from 9.5
to 15.5 million tpy, add capability to process 100% high-
sulfur crudes and improve the yield of light and middle
distillates, the company says.
CB&I says its experience in coking technology allows refiners to
convert and upgrade heavy residual stocks to more valuable
lighter distillate products and coke.

Fujifilm S3380 14MP Digital Camera (26x Zoom, Motion Panorama, 720p Video, Blink & Smile Detection) for $99.99 + free shipping
Get this too, so you're not the idiot taking photos of everything with a tablet.
30 Comments add a comment
Has anyone ever ordered from them before? This deal seems a little too good to be true!
@susiewoots: I bought a camera like it a year ago 12MP but mine has no eye relief (you can't look through eye and with lcd screen on mine).14MP is ok but not having video at 1080 is lower grad.So I believe you are looking at a good Refurb camera.
Thing is my camera is the same large camera like shape as this, which might be much cheaper manufacture than camera size of credit card. I paid $129 for mine last year new at Costco.com sorry I cant remember brand.It takes excellent pics and I have it set to 800 "film speed".
FYI You only get 90 days to return so minute it shows up try everything. Happy Hanukkah,Merry Xmas or if your a atheist happy Monday to you and yours.:D
I've ordered from them a few times over the past couple of years.
Something's fishy here. Amazon has never sold these new. Ritz has never sold these at all, as near as I can tell. Imaging-Resource.com doesn't have any listing for this item#. It seems like this camera didn't exist as a new product that could be reviewed. Foreign model, perhaps?
There's always youtube reviews. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Fujifilm+S3380 . Just reading through one videos comments quickly and one of them says short battery life, ran out in 70 pictures.
I have ordered from here a lot, and customer service is top notch. I also have this camera, got it from best buy for $180 or so, this looks to be a pretty good deal. Great camera too.
@robio: There's almost always something fishy about anything sold by Bensoutlet (AKA One-sale-a-day). Often they ship products as new when they're really refurbished/used or the product descriptions don't match what they ship. They take a long time to ship items and are a pain to deal with when something needs to be returned. I know that this deal looks awfully tempting, but I try to stay away from vendors that don't even have a contact phone #.
I just placed and order and little under a week got email confirming that it was shipped, I think the Amazon Prime crowd are just spoiled brats and bad mouth them, they are legit.
i also buy from them sometimes.
never had any problem.
shipping takes over 2 weeks from my experience.
I've ordered from Ben's several times,usually slow shipping but have had no problems. They are the same company as 1saleaday.
OK deal, not great. I saw a 16 MP GE (which I have personally used and works well) for $109 at Radio Shack.
Note that this camera will spend most of it's time at f/5.9, which means slower focus in lower light and you will NOT be able to take action-stopping "gym shots" that so many people want to do with their camera, but don't want to pay too much for it. It just doesn't work that way...at least not for a few more years.
See my "16 camera checks of Christmas" to make sure your camera is ready for those once-in-a-lifetime holiday shots.
@radi0j0hn: I'd be interested in reading your "16 camera checks of Christmas" post but I'm a clueless n00b. Can you post a link to it?
Ben's Outlet: My experience with them is that they do not give full specifications of items, but if they did the items are apparently satisfactory. I bought micro sd cards from them which only go into phones and cannot be formatted for use in adaptors. But in devices they are good. I got a refund for another order that was apparently out of physical stock even though a shipping ticket was issued. They were at the lowest end of stock and on the site they do indicate inventory levels. They can only be reached by email but they do reply in around 24 hours.
Camera: This seems to be a British spec model, but that doesn't really matter. Here are the specs: http://www.fujifilm.eu/uk/products/digital-cameras/bridge/model/finepix-s3300/specifications/
Fujifulm is an excellent camera maker with a line of high quality lenses comparable to the fine quality of Nikon lenses. All the movies we see on the screen are made by Fujifilm equipment. This camera is an excellent one in my opinion.
@ryanlehn: "I try to stay away from vendors that don't even have a contact phone #."
Like woot?
@srfoolishbuyer: What is the difference with a US model and a "British spec model"?
If the Amazon reviews are any indication it is a good camera and a good deal.
Hopefully all the negative comments will be proven wrong.

@robio: I believe this item is the UK version of the S3300.
Please see here:
Yes, this is in fact an s3300. If you search on that model number, you will find much more detailed and objective review information than searching with the other number. Reviews seem to be mixed. I found some very negative comments in a dpreview forum discussion. But there was also a reasonably positive and somewhat thorough review at a site called "tech2", or something like that.. (sorry, can't post links from my tablet)
I'm going to pass because I think my Kodak z990 is a far superior bridge camera, although a bit more expensive. I don't think the Kodak z990 is available any more, although one might be able to find a relatively unused one on ebay, since they were recently sold out on woot at around $125.
@jrhusc: Great research! I didn't find the contact phone number and address. As far as I know about BBB, it is probably significant that there is one unresolved complaint and their customer service policies of email only that led to the "F" rating. Rather than look at the letter, I consider that of 58 complaints (those are listed specifically on the BBB page further) only 1 is unresolved. That tells me that 57 complaints were resolved. We can't know how quickly those complaints were made. Internet companies probably have many more complaints than brick and mortar.
Fujifilm has model numbers within series for feature differences between similar cameras. They use ostensibly the same body and optics, most of the same features. That it is UK would just explain why the US wasn't a market for the camera. It takes batteries so there isn't an electrical issue, and the features are the same as American model cameras in other S series models.
@ryanlehn: "I try to stay away from vendors that don't even have a contact phone #."
*Like woot? *
@superninja: Bazinga!!!
The lens is so slow, you'll be disappointed with it. Good lenses cost good money, this will be a poor choice for indoor photography, and with the small sensor and budget lens, will not likely do well at full telephoto either, even in bright sunlight. Spend a little more on a better bridge camera.
Ben's Outlet = 1 Sale a Day, VERY poor customer service. I bought a Fujifilm from 1 Sale a Day and it came in a box with different names on different sides. One said Ben's Outlet.
Don't expect it to come anytime soon - They printed a UPS Smartpost label on day 2, but then it doesn't go to UPS for a week, then once it gets from UPS to the USPS, it takes another week. It took 2 weeks to go from FL to TX.
I like Fujifilm cameras, they're very underrated. I have 2. If someone's complaining about only getting 70 photos out of the batteries, they've never owned a Kodak. I was lucky if I got 5-6 out of a kodak. (Yeah, I sent it back.)
HSN did sell it, but it is sold-out !
Here: http://www.hsn.com/electronics/fujifilm-s3380-14mp-26x-zoom-slr-style-camera-with-software_p-6502694_xp.aspx?cm_mmc=sharingsite-_-facebook-_-product-_-NA&fb_ref=143298&fb_source=profile_oneline&changedurl=1
$250. New, they list full specs. and reviews.
@srfoolishbuyer: Well, despite the bad rating I'm taking a chance with them. It looks like a good camera at a very good price.
If the order goes without a problem my regret may be that it uses 4 AA alkaline batteries...I've avoided digital cameras that do that. But...I'll see.
Do not go to the above site from "tiffanydean6" , it is a big scam !
@jrhusc: I've had good luck with my Fujifilm S700 & S2450, with battery life. I take tons of photos for ebay and change batteries about once every two weeks. I do like the older one better though.
@jrhusc: DO get brand names though, Duracell or Energizer rechargeable though. The ones you get from office supply stores suck.
This doesn't seem like the before Christmas camera that I want to purchase then. The camera itself I like, and I can even deal with the slower than normal write to disc speeds, but I can't wait on the slow ship speeds. I'm going to have to pass on this deal.
@jrhusc: The camera also permits use of rechargeable batteries. You'll discover when you get it that there are instructions for telling the camera which batteries you are using.
In addition as for the life of the battery keep in mind that futzing (technical term for operating it without clicking the actual shutter) also uses up the juice. I think that the largest consumption comes from operating the zoom and creating the settings for the exposure.
The more experienced with the camera the more conservative will be the battery use. The more exposures you make without preparatory futzing the more images you will get per battery reload. But the camera does have so many features. There is both digital zoom and optical zoom which combine for the most mind-blowing focal lengths.
I took the chance and ordered this camera on Dec 11. Now regretting it. It never shipped until 6:20pm Friday dec 21, and is being sent UPS Surepost so it won't be here for yet another week!! Emails sent to Ben's Outlet, 4 since last Tuesday, dec 18, have all been ignored except for the first one- for which I received a form letter yesterday Dec 24 that was not even appropriate to the message I had sent. Will never do business with this company again.
I ordered this camera and it came. They never promised fast shipping and it wasn't that fast. But they delivered and the camera is exactly as described.
I have no complaints. I knew from comments shipping would not be fast and it wasn't a gift. I took a chance and ordered it, hoping there would be no quality issues and I haven't encountered any.
I would buy from this place again.

The Best of Whose Line is it Anyway? DVD for $9.99
Best of the greatest improv show ever!
Eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping (orders of $25+)
13 Comments add a comment
This was a great show, although it did start causing me to question how much improv was really going on (especially in later episodes) when the skits were very elaborate and seemingly well thought out. If they really were spontaneous, those guys sure are talented. I just feel like they may have been given a little more time or info than the audience was led to believe. Either way, it was very funny.
@wnyx585am: if you go to youtube and look for bloopers or uncensored for the show, it will quickly become apparent that there are multiple 'takes' when making the show, thus giving the artists more time to think or adjust. Still though, they are extremely talented.
Man, first Dancing Bear now this.. Is nothing reality anymore?
Fans of this show may recall an Elvis Costello-looking-fellow named Greg Proops, who has a hysterical live podcast called The Smartest Man In The World Proopcast. Highly recommended.
Man - after seeing that it is 300 minutes in length, I might just pull the trigger. It would be a no-brainer at $5, but for 5 hours, $10 doesn't seem so bad.
Wife LOVED this show. Pulled the trigger. Thank you for posting!
If it were all Scenes from a Hat, I'd get it in a heartbeat. As is, I think I'll just stick with Youtube clips
This was the first show I can remember being "stolen" from the Brits (shortly followed by The Weakest Link). Now it seems we're constantly stealing from them.
I don't know if I will still find it funny, but the first time I saw the episode featuring Richard Simmons I laughed until I cried
@rayray8822: US shows based on UK shows is nothing new or unusual. I don't know what the absolute first one was but it goes back at least to the early 70s: Sanford & Son is based on Steptoe & Son, and Lotsa Luck was based on On the Buses.
Best of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"? So, $10 for two minutes of footage? No thanks,
Out of stock and no longer at that price
@jeffabecker: I was able to get it at that price by looking in the "More Buying Choices" options on the right hand side.

So what we need from volunteers:
1. Chili Chefs. Raid your pantry and come up with your best chili recipes. "Trophies" will be awarded not to mention Lamont-wide bragging rights.
2. Cornbred Bakers. Is chili a little daunting? Contribute a country-grown acoutrement!
3. Hot Plates. Have a hot plate at home or in your dept. you can loan us for a day?
4. Associated Assitance. Did you fail home-ec? You can still contribute - Kevin and I will be needing folks to help transport chili, set up tables, etc.

Agricultural Research Service
Water Quality and Ecology Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
The objective of this cooperative research project is to evaluate best management practices consistent with the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) that will reduce or mitigate detrimental effects of sedimentation and runoff on water quality and provide data that can be applied to TMDL standards.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
Runoff plots are established at the Delta Branch Experiment Station to quantify the contribution of various BMPs toward reducing sedimentation and runoff in continuous cotton. These plots are approximately 170 m in length and are instrumented with flow meters and samplers to measure runoff volume, sediment load, and chemical loss under natural rainfall conditions. Composite runoff samples are taken at each runoff event. BMPs include no-tillage, rye cover crop, grass hedges, and grass filter strips. Crop yield and management inputs are quantified to obtain an economic analysis of the production system.

Four out of five defendants charged with crimes related to killing a female black bear out of season in Fannin County pled guilty and will be paying fines totaling $2,700.
In March 2010, rangers with Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, obtained arrest warrants on five suspects involved in the illegal killing of a female black bear with newborn cubs. The investigation began when the dead bear was found in Murray County on March 3. Two cubs were dropped off at McCayesville veterinarian later that week.
Following up on several leads and interviews, rangers obtained a search warrant for an Epworth residence and interviewed three hog hunters, Anthony White, Casey Crawford and Robert Perkins, Jr. Crawford admitted to killing the bear on private property off Stanley Creek Road in Fannin County while hog hunting with Perkins.
Rangers executed a search warrant on March 16, 2010, at the residence of Jamie Smith and Brian Walters, who were involved in the removal of parts of the bear and taking them and the cubs to the residence.

Ok cat people, is it time for me to adopt a kitty?
Even manly Conan wouldn't mind having a soft kitty hanging around. Do you think it's time? I will be moving very shortly so I thought this might be a good time since the place will be new to both of us. When I ask my friends about the time commitment in owning a cat, all my friends have different answers. I work a lot so I do not have that much time so knowing he is good on his own is a huge part of the decision.
37 Answers answer
If you have limited time, considering adopting a cat that is a year or so older. There are many of these kinds of kitties chillin' in the shelters, and though everyone wants a kitten, not everyone wants a kitten when they truly realize how high energy they are, if you know what I mean. When I adopted the intern, she was still quite the baby (4mos) and honestly, kittens are adorable as all get out, but very, very time consuming. I say that from a life time of being around cats and having raised three of my own.
If your new place, finances, etc. allow, also consider adopting a pair. The initial upkeep may be a bit more (vet stuff) but over all the food costs/litter/etc aren't radically different. It will also help your fuzzy buddy from being lonely. :)
Other than that, the 'time' thing is really up to the cat's personality, which is nothing you'll be able to predict all that well. (MYSTERY BOX OF CATS)
Oh and post pics when you do, obviously. We love pics. :)
Be sure you are ready, and be aware that even a cat may cramp your style. You can't just jet off for a long weekend without thinking about who is going to take care of the kitty. Do you have friends you can rely on and/or enough money to pay a pet sitter?
i agree with inky about considering an older-than-kitten kitty, especially if this is your first cat (dunno if it is or not). adult personalities can turn out to be different than when they were kittens. if you're looking for a particular personality (for example, a sit-in-your-lap cat), you can prolly tell by the time they're 1 yo or so, but mabe not so well when they're only 2-3 mo.
@wilfbrim: The overnight and weekend stuff wouldn't be an issue as I usually have people house sitting for me anyway, I was thinking about the more daily stuff. I go to work around 7:30 AM and get home around 8:30 PM. Thanks for bringing this up though, I need to think about everything involved in this decision.
@inkycatz: Thanks for all the info., I think an older cat is definitely the way to go.
Sit with the prospective cat for a while. Make sure it's social. It's easy to say it's just scared but it should warm up to you after a bit.
I say this because I'm just about certain that one of son's cats was a feral kitten. Feral cats get no socialization with humans and may never warm up. This cat didn't like much petting, rarely purred, and liked to hang out in small dark places like the litter box and under the backyard shed.
@conanthelibrarian: Always glad to help, plus you know if there's a cat thread, I'm probably going to be all up in it anyways with my words.
I agree with getting a pair of cats that get along with one another, especially with your work schedule. I wish I could of when I got my kitty, but we already had a cat at my house. However she is not very social with most people and hates other animals so my little kitten had no other cat to play with. He has a lot of energy sometimes and I think getting a buddy for him would of really helped.
I'm not a cat person, but I agree with everyone here. If this is your first time with a cat (or pet), adopt a young adult from a shelter. Adult pets at shelters have a harder time getting adopted than their younger versions, so you're definitely going to be helping the shelter out and potentially "rescuing" the animal. Not only will you be helping out a shelter, but shelter pets are all up-to-date on vaccines and are already fixed, so its one less thing you'll have to worry about. Just my two cents.
I have two cats, we have had them for years. There's a braided jute rug in front of the back door and the cats absolutely love the rug as a "Scratching pad" one has not clawed a single other item in the house since we got the rug 3 years ago. Toys, simple is fine. She loves the little piece of plastic the you pull off to open a gallon milk. If I leave it out, the reminder comes about 3 in the morning, she bats it down the hall. Mine also loves to play with a the laser pointer, just the sound of me moving the pointer and she becomes very alert, start to move in across the ground and the hunt is on. One of mine also an addiction to thin plastic, like bags, dry cleaning clovers, and fake plants. She also goes after live plants, so if I buy roses for my wife there is only one place in the house that we can set them that the cat can't or won't jump too, which is something else they jump, I have come home to my cats lounging atop my 6' tall bookshelves with no idea how they got up there.
Great advice here, I will second the thought about a buddy but my first cat was solo for years and he was perfectly content with that. I definitely agree with the idea of going for one that is a year or older. Kittens have a ton of energy and can demand a lot of attention - especially at 3 AM. My cats don't mind a weekend alone with an occasional visit from the neighbor. They love the fact that they get treated to dry food for a day or so from the magical automatic feeder.
Firstly, to answer your question: Yes
Nextly, I work a lot too so when I adopted my meows, I got two. Makes me feel better when I go on vacation, etc too. However, I've learned that that is probably humanizing too much. Cats do pretty grand being solo, in fact some would say cats are happier when they're on their own. Just don't get a real, real tiny kitten. Something over 6 months will probably be fine on their own, but older kitties face real tough adoption odds so going a year(or 2)+ could really be saving a life :)
You might also consider going through a foster group. They tend to have a lot more information about the personality of the cats than, say, the local animal shelter, because they live with them. Foster cats will also sometimes be better socialized.
I got my lil' Ted through a foster group. I read his bio online and chose him because of the description - 'quiet, deferential to other cats in the house'. He's turned out to be quite the chatterbox, but he and my 12 year old cat get along just great. My biggest concern was if Henry would get along with a new buddy. Was definitely the right choice for me to go through a foster group.
Edit to add: Teddy was at least 8 months when I got him. Neither Henry or me wanted a lil bitty kitty running around being crazy. Ted is really playful and yes runs around, but he's not chaotic like kittens can be.
I've got two cats, brothers from the same litter adopted when they were about seven months old. They're great cats, a little skitterish of anything outside of the norm...one gets very nervous when I leave my shoes somewhere he doesn't think they belong, but that makes them easier to discipline/train to not do things.
Since you work a lot, I definitely recommend getting two cats, ideally from the same litter. They can keep each other company and entertained and they're less likely to get into things you don't want them to. I'm generally gone from 5:30 am - 6pm four or five days a week and out some evenings as well and my cats are mostly okay with it. I do have to spend some extra time with one of them (the shoe skitterish one) from time to time to make up for it, but he's pretty forgiving. I'm also able to leave my cats alone for long weekends without any problems. I just put out extra food and water and they're cool for up to about four days.
@inkycatz: and everyone who has helped so much with this decision. Can you tell me the downsides of owning a cat? I'm always hearing about gross hairballs, worms or urinating on furniture. Are these things all cats do?
@conanthelibrarian: Definitely not things all cats do. The occasional hariball will happen though. Urinating on furniture typically involves a disgruntled male cat.
The downsides for me - they shed and I'm in a 700sq ft apartment so it can be a an effort to keep it under control. Also, I buy them premium food which is pricier than I anticipated when I adopted. I have a long haired cat and he gets litter stuck on him and tracks it a lot (I've been experimenting with other kinds of litter besides clay).
It is nothing that makes them not worth it though!
@conanthelibrarian: Nope. Not all cats are like that.
- gross hairballs can be fixed with a good diet, usually
- worms/fleas can vary by region (easily remedied with meds)
- unwanted elimination is usually a medically based issue, or a behavior one that can be fixed with a bit of patience
Now the downsides!
- claws, keep those things trimmed, and get the kitty in the habit early as you possibly can
- old cats (10+) bring on a whole host of issues - the common ones being teeth, diet changes, and possibly kidney failure, this page lays a lot of it out
- cats have personalities, which means some times you want a cat hug, and cat is like "no, bite me". It's a minor thing. ;)
@no1: Testing for science!
Does it help?
@inkycatz: I feel refreshed already.
And I second her thoughts about getting an older cat. Kittens literally climb walls.
@conanthelibrarian: Here is why cats are better:
But don't let my dog see it, it'll just make him sad. Actually, he thinks he's a cat, so would probably be ok.
Okay, I didn't read anyone else's responses.
We had 3 cats for a very long time. Then we had 4.
4 is way too many cats to handle. 3 is a lot of work, but fun anyway.
Our 11 year-old white cat was the last survivor of our original pride. He had never been an "only-cat" and it was beginning to show. We decided to adopt him a "friend" from the local shelter. He still doesn't like her much, but he seems to like having the company anyway.
I have found that 2 cats are easier to take care of than 1, because they entertain themselves and don't get bored and destructive.
You should definitely get a new kitty. Kittens are definitely fun. If you've never had one, you should get one just for fun.
I'll have to back up the not getting a teeny kitten if you don't have a lot of time. They are sooooooo fun, but they also need a lot more "training." Potty training, don't-scratch-furniture training, get-off-of-that training, etc.
Also, two cats are always better than one. If you decide to adopt (I recommend! Save a kitty!) make sure they get along or are at least somewhat young. Every time I have introduced a new kitty to an over year old one the older one is a big meanie to the little one. Currently I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 2 year old and the 2 year old would be friends with the other but neither of the others like each other/any other cats. (They all pretty much hate the yorkie so they kind of bond over that)
When (If) you choose two, get them already together or plan on several days letting them meet slowly and supervised. Locking them in ajoining rooms so they can sniff and play under the door works good. You playing with one and then the other while still smelling of the first helps. They will want to establish a boss so some "fighting" is OK but you do not want all out battles.
If you are looking at a breed, read about the traditional traits. They may not apply to a specific cat but you may get some insight.
We adopted our two from a fostering program. We were able to visit at the home and meet them before adopting and talk to the foster family about them. We chose a bengal mix and her daughter. That means we chose rowdy, loud, demanding little beasts but we love them anyway. They do not like to be left alone. They are fine alone but they prefer to have the human playtoys present for treat demands.
I have two cats. The first is about four, she was a stray when she adopted us at around one year old. The second is about two and a half, he was a shelter cat who we adopted at 10 weeks old.
When we had just the first cat, she did great on her own in our small apartment. When we moved to a house, we added the kitten. The kitten was definitely a lot more work but also (of course) adorable.
For your situation, not being home a lot, I would agree with most others here: avoid kittens and go for a one+ year-old. If you do go the kitten route, I think the suggestion of getting two from the same litter is a great one. But definitely be prepared for the extra work and time.
A cat should be just fine on its own for a weekend. My threshold for getting a pet sitter is about four days. Shorter than that, just give extra food and water and ensure a clean litter box.
As to gross behaviors:
In the years I've had my two cats, there has been only one hairball. Certain food and treats (we do the treats) can help prevent or eliminate hairballs.
Your cat shouldn't have worms unless it's eaten a carcass that does. The easy way to avoid this, and something I would recommend, is to have your cat stay indoors. The decision on that is yours, and hopefully you make it an informed decision after reading up on the statistical differences in lifespan, injuries, etc. in indoor vs. outdoor cats.
Urinating on furniture is also rare and would be due either to a urinary infection or as mentioned above, a disgruntled cat. If this happens, a trip to the vet or an examination of any recent household changes is in order.
Other downsides:
Claws. Neither of my cats are declawed, but that decision is another one you'll make for yourself. It is possible to train cats not to scratch where you don't want them to. The simplest method I've found is to have a scratching post nearby wherever they otherwise scratch. When the cat scratches something you don't want it to, pick it up and move it to the post. Of course, this requires you to catch them in the act, but eventually they'll understand.
Personality. As mentioned above, cat personalities can change with age. And sometimes in a shelter the cat will act differently than it will once it gets used to its new home. My younger cat seemed pretty independent at the shelter, but turned clingy at home. My older cat was pretty vocal and affectionate when we first got her, but as she matured that changed. It can go either way.
In closing: Please adopt a cat that needs it (from a shelter or foster care), do vaccinations, and spay/neuter. And good luck!
I will also agree that if possible adopt two from an agency, and get them when they are past the kitten stage.
Claws? This is my pal, rescued cat Grundle with her favorite toy.
@xdavex: SO PRETTY. I have a tortie girl, too she's got such a little "tortitude". Loud mouth, too!
Ohhh kitties!
A cat is a better choice than a dog if you are away from home a lot as they don't need to be let out or walked. I have 4 cats right now, each with their own personality, and 3 out of the four were 'feral' kittens when I took them in. Their personalities changed a lot from kittenhood to adulthood. Definitely research a breed if you are looking for a specific breed first. I took home a Siamese mix (one of my ferals), and I knew what I was getting into taking her home, but she's still more than I can handle sometimes. I love her to pieces though and don't know what I'd do without her.
I have two cats that literally pull out there hair, and one is more prone to hairballs because of it, I feed them hairball formula cat food, and that has helped, but we still have the occasional one. Peeing all over...well, thankfully none of mine do that, and I have 3 boys and one girl. There was a boy that started, but it turns out he had crystals in his urine, so he couldn't pee.
He's on a special diet now that prevents them, and no potty issues since. Scratching can be an issue, but most of the time, they scratch cardboard scratching posts, or one specific spot on my rug. I also spent a lot of time with them as kittens playing with their paws, so I can clip most of their claws without any issue.
I agree, taking on a pair would be best, mine tend to 'pile up' on the bed when I'm not around, so I know they at least have each other when I'm not home.
Good luck with any kitty you take home. And, definitely post pictures! I love kitties! (clearly, lol)
Have been slow to answer this question. I love cats. <---understatement. Eight beauties owned me; all at the same time. So many have given you excellent advice. Agree that 2 are better than 1. But, that's so slanted. I think 8 was a good number. ;-) Always, w/o fail, keep the litter boxes very clean.
Yes, cats have different personalities. All 8 of mine did. One consistency; they are independent. Some more than others. Always have them fixed. Inside only? Two of my eight were. You worry less. No fights, they won't get hit by a car. (Happened to 1 of mine... She was eventually okay.)
I hope you find the cat(s) that will add delight to your life. Nothing compares to a purring cat. Or a silent one. They're just cats! Precious beyond words.
What @sunny0xr said about worms is not entirely true. Worms, particularly tapeworms, can come from fleas. Baby worm lives in flea, cat eats flea, flea dies, worm lives. So yeah, the cat DID eat a carcass, so to speak :)
Anyway, the good news for that particular kind of problem: one pill, all done. Plus my vet was cute.
Yes, get a cat. Or two. The biggest problems for cats seem to be triggered by changes in routine. So if they're used to you not being at home all the time from the beginning, it shouldn't trigger some of the behavior problems you've been hearing about.
We have adopted from the local SPCA but when one of our original cats died, we needed a cat that would be big enough to deal with our young Maine Coon, who likes to wrestle. So I emailed a local rescue group that had a bunch of Maine Coon kittens, explained the situation and they suggested a non Maine Coon but still pretty big guy who fit right in. Most rescues + shelters have bonded pairs they'd like to see go to a good home together.
They're wonderful pretty self sufficient creatures to have bopping around the house. I recommend it.
@xdavex: So pretty! What a great picture.
The claws on my younger cat, when he was a kitten:
He still loves his claws and uses them WAY too much.

Pediatric Acupuncture
Pediatric Acupuncture is a fine addition to the English language body of Chinese Medicine books. Dr. Loo, who practices both Western and Asian medicine in California, is to be commended for an exciting and stimulating book. Pediatric Acupuncture is not strictly a TCM book and often goes into 5 element theory and aspects of Japanese acupuncture styles. Practitioners may want to invest in a laser, ion pumping chords and a point stimulator after reading this book. It begins with Chinese Medical theory and clear insights into how this applies to children and their particular diseases. Those who are well studied in TCM will find the information familiar yet it is clear enough for those who are approaching the material from the outside. Especially welcome to acupuncturists are her comments about the relationships between the elements/organs, development and emotional states. Dr. Loo easily correlates Western and Asian views and her experience in both approaches shows in this excellent book. If there is a deficit it is that there is little herbal information. Often pediatric acupuncture is seen as an oxymoron, thinking that no child will tolerate the needles. Dr. Loo assures us that this can be done and gives us some amazing photos to prove it. Once again Churchill Livingston has provided a great addition to our ever-growing library of Chinese Medicine books.

In 2002, the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) reported that workers at a microwave popcorn plant had developed bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious and life-threatening lung disease. NIOSH concluded that inhalation of butter flavor was the likely cause of disease. Research has shown that the chemical diacetyl, an ingredient in butter and other food flavorings, causes severe lung damage in animals. In 2004, a California worker who made food flavorings using diacetyl was found to have bronchiolitis obliterans. Several additional workers in flavoring companies have been diagnosed with the disease since then, and more are suspected. Since the first case occurred OHB has been working with Cal/OSHA and other partners to respond to this newly recognized hazard and to prevent other workers from getting this disease.
The purpose of this OHB project is to determine how widespread diacetyl-related lung disease is in California, to recommend ways to prevent the disease in workers who make or use food flavorings, and to ensure that affected employers, workers, and health care providers have the information they need to recognize and prevent future cases.

Young Immigrants' Applications Fall
The number of applicants for an Obama administration program that allows young illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. dropped to its lowest monthly level yet in January, a decline that experts attributed to the possibility of a comprehensive immigration overhaul, lack of awareness and the cost to apply.
The Department of Homeland Security said that about 31,000 people applied for the program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, in January, and fewer than 15,000 had applied by mid-February. That is down from more than 113,000 applicants last October alone, soon after the program started.
The slowdown comes despite what DACA's proponents hailed as potentially life-changing benefits for those who qualify. In addition to lifting the threat of deportation, it grants a work permit to the immigrants, most of whom were brought to the U.S. as children. Critics of DACA have claimed that the program was implemented to boost President Barack Obama's support among Hispanics in the November election.
All told, about 1.8 million young immigrants are potential beneficiaries, according to estimates by the American Immigration Council, a national advocacy organization. By mid-February, the latest data available, about 420,000 people had applied, and about 200,000 cases had been approved.
When the government began accepting DACA requests on Aug. 15, immigrant youngsters and their families jammed school gyms and community centers where nonprofit and faith-based groups held workshops to help with forms.
"We saw a rush of applicants who stepped forward with all their documents in order," said Emily Creighton, a Council staff attorney. But "there are many more who are still afraid to come out of the shadows or who lack access to legal resources."
Some immigrants are holding off because Congress has begun to consider an immigration overhaul that could offer legal permanent status to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. The DACA program doesn't offer a green card or a path to citizenship, and participants must reapply every two years.
"Their parents are saying you might as well wait for immigration reform," said Josefina Beecher, a member of the board of the Skagit Immigrant Rights Council in Mount Vernon, Wash. Ms. Beecher recalls standing-room only crowds at DACA workshops held by the organization last year, but said a recent event attracted fewer than 30.
She and other advocates said that many applicants, who mainly hail from working-class families, are deterred by the $500 fee for applying. In some states, like Washington, private foundations and credit unions are starting to establish low-interest loan programs and other schemes for applicants of limited means.
Applicants must prove they arrived in the U.S. before they were 16 years old, be under the age of 31 now and have lived continuously in the U.S. for the past five years. If they are military veterans they must prove they were honorably discharged. They also must have graduated from high school or show they are working toward a high-school diploma.
The education requirement poses a barrier: 23% of the potential recipients still need to fulfill it, according to the Skagit Council's estimates.
"Immigrants who work on a dairy farm aren't traveling to town for school," said Mary Jo Dudley, director of the Cornell Farmworker Program, which has been conducting workshops in rural upstate New York. "They came to this country to work."
Many immigrants are having trouble meeting the minimum requirements for enrolling in graduate equivalency degree, or GED, courses in some states, such as New York, according to Ms. Dudley.
Ms. Dudley's group isn't the only one trying to drum up interest in the program. United We Dream, which represents illegal young immigrants, plans to launch next week a national campaign to attract DACA applicants.
The group plans to join forces with local groups to bolster outreach and hold DACA events that will offer an array of services, including legal assistance, micro-loans and educational opportunities for potential applicants and their families. Mobile units will visit far-flung areas.
"We're amping it up," said Lorella Praelli, the organization's policy director.

Antique Brass-Plated Crimped Oval Link Chain
For just a touch of dimension in a simple jewelry design, try this antique brass-plated crimped oval link chain. Each small, thin link features a crimped oval shape and presents an alternating pattern so you create depth at every angle. Its delicate layout is ideal for creating a nice dangle for an earring or to design a nice bracelet. With a weathered brass polish this chain can be matched with any number of different color combinations for a nostalgic touch, but would look perfect paired with dark red tones. This chain is sold by the foot.

FYI, I had to try the site a couple times, but it worked eventually.
The 1800 site doesn't seem to want to load.
had to try the 1800 site multiple times. it takes a while to load, then they send you an email to print
I've been trying for over 20 minutes now. Site won't load.
Edit: Got to the page finally, entered email address then waited and waited but got another error message. Oh well. I give up!
So is it the first 1,800? Or does the 1,800 not matter...?
Site worked for me, though a little slow. Got through step one, waiting for the email. I imagine it'll probably be slow to get to me, but we'll see. No rush.
Good find though, thank you!
Decided to try again, site is up and running!! Got through, no problem this time.
Thanks for the great deal!
I got the email with a code in it for the free t-shirt. Thanks.

Grandpa is writing a book. Every morning he starts writing vigorously and fills a lot of pages. But post-lunch he goes through all that he's written that far (right from day one) and deletes one-fifth of it. He doesn't write anything more that day. At the end of the day the content of his book is still $20\%$ more than that at the end of the previous day.
How much percent new content does Grandpa write in the morning?

SEGA planning a Sonic game for PS4 and Xbox One in 2015Written by: / / 1 Comment
During the international toy fair in Nuremberg last week, it wasn't only the latest and great innovations and inventions in the toy world that were on display as the folks at Spindash were able to spot something of great interest to Sonic videogame fans, too.
While trawling the halls of the show floor, visitors would have seen the following poster stood at toy creator Jazwares booth, outlining the future of Sonic on game consoles including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (click to enlarge):
Is SEGA indeed planning a Sonic game for new generation consoles alongside the Wii U? With Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games also planned for release on Wii U this year, it looks like it'll be a busy time for the Blue Speedster.
Would you be keen for a new Sonic game to put the (blast) processing of your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One to the test?

饭店 and 餐馆 can both mean restaurant. My Chinese friend here in Dongguan tells me 饭店 is not commonly used to mean hotel. I want to understand in what contexts both of these words are used. 谢谢.

restaurant - 餐馆,饭馆,小吃店,酒店,饭店,食肆
hotel - 旅馆,旅店,宾馆,酒店,饭店,客栈
酒家 in old days meant restaurant, but nowadays it is almost only used in the names of restaurants or hotels.
The difference between 餐馆 and 饭店 is:
if you say, "I'm going to xxx 餐馆", people understand that you are going there for a meal only, if no other specific purpose is mentioned.
if you say, "I'm going to xxx 饭店", people may think you're going to eat there (if there's a restaurant at that place) or you're going to stay there for a night (if it's a hotel).
Last but not least, it's more common nowadays in China to say "酒店" instead of "饭店" to name a decent hotel.
餐馆 and 饭店 differ in terms of formality, with 餐馆 being the more formal. 饭 and 店 are less formal words for "meal," and "store."
饭店 has the connotations of being an (informal) "coffee shop" type eatery. Ironically, it is the one that likely to be connected to a hotel, to which the 饭店 is an "adjunct." A 餐馆 is a "standalone" operation that would NOT be "adjunctive" to a hotel.
餐馆 is a restaurant. It is usually a small one on the street where you can have an inexpensive lunch or something like that.
饭店, on the other hand, could be either a restaurant or a hotel. And it could be as small as a 餐馆, or it could be as good as a five-star hotel.
I don't think they differ in formality; they refer to different types of restaurants.
It think both means restaurant. Someone use 饭店 to refer hotel, I think that's not precise and is little bit old school. Use 酒店 if you mean hotel.
If you work for a 餐馆 and they offer accommodation, it's possible you are going to stay in 餐馆。But in general,餐馆 is a sheer place for people to eat and 饭店 probably combine the staying part and eating part.
