Ways to Keep a Tabby Cat Happy
Posted by gracelydia51 in Cats on August 28, 2012
Tabby cats are not a breed. The coat of a tabby cat has a set of patterns, such as stripes, swirls, and a distinctive 'M' shaped mark on the forehead. The exact placement and shape of these patterns highly depends on the specific type of tabby. Like any other cat, tabby cats also need proper diet and stimulation to remain healthy, active, and happy.
Cat Health:
You can keep your tabby cat happy by establishing its predictable feeding routine. For this, you need to feed your cat at the same time each day. It is better to use different types of foods and alternate both wet or dry food and ingredients for feedings.
If possible, provide your cat an access to running water. You can either provide running water from a tap at expected intervals or buy a cat fountain from a pet supply store.
Providing a small planter of cat grass, that is at least 2 inches tall, is also a good way to keep your cat happy. Place the planter away from the food and water dishes. Moreover, it is advisable to put any houseplants that are toxic to cats in a room where your cat is not allowed to go.
Place at least two litter boxes in two different rooms of the house, and do not change their place once they have been used. Clean them on daily basis or as required.
Cat Stimulation:
Keep your tabby cat happy by providing scratching posts or mats. It is preferable to place them near any object that the cat is presently scratching. You may need to scratch them yourself in order to teach the cat how to use them. Encourage your cat by feeding it after it begins using the post.
Get a cat-climbing tree from your local pet supply store and encourage the climbing behavior of your cat by placing a treat on higher platforms.
Cats love to watch outside world. Keeping window shades open will allow them a clear view of the outdoors. However, if your windows do have enough space to sit, you can provide a cat perch to sit and enjoy the outdoor scene.
Play with your tabby cat every day at the same time. You can also take it outside occasionally; however, you need to secure them with a leash to prevent them from running off and risking injury.
Interesting Facts about Bengal Cats
Posted by gracelydia51 in Cats on August 18, 2012
Bengal cats are among the most expensive cat breeds of the world. These cats have some unique genetic heritage and possess distinct personalities, unusual behavior patterns, and attractive visual appearance, which make them a popular cat breed among the cat owners.

They are indeed domestic animals, however it is important to note that, being so active, these cats may totally inadvertently scratch people whilst galloping over them or jumping from them. Therefore, caution should be taken if you have small children in the family.

Facts about Russian Blue Cat
Posted by gracelydia51 in Cats on April 24, 2012
The Russian Blue Cat (also known as Archangel Blue Cat) is believed to have originated from the port town of Arkhangelsk in Russia. In 1800s, it was brought to the UK and has been domestically bred since then.
The Russian Blue Cat is famous for its silver-blue coat that shows off its wiry frame and complements its vibrant, dark green eyes. It has a long, slim body with short fur, and its coat is known as "double coat" as it has a soft, velvety undercoat that helps in providing the cat with an additional insulation in the extreme northern winters. The topcoat fur (even if sometimes a soft black in color) can be a real shade of blue with silver tips, giving the cat an iridescent look.
These cats are recognized as highly intelligent and playful; however, they are really shy around strangers. Moreover, they are quite easy to train and are well known for developing close bonds with their owners.
Since the saliva and sebum of Russian Blue Cats contain less of a certain protein than many other cats, they are among the hypoallergenic breeds of cats.
The purebred Russian Blue Cat does not have any white markings on its body, however in rare cases, a 'locket' of white fur can be found on its throat, which is considered as an extremely negative feature in cat shows. Another prominent feature of a purebred Russian Blue Cat is the positioning of its ears on its head, which are usually attached to the head at a rakish angle.
Russian Blue Cats are popular due to their calm and loving nature. In addition, they are one of the few domestic breeds that are not prone to illness or carry genetic defaults.
Persian Cat Care – Grooming
Posted by gracelydia51 in Cats on April 10, 2012
Persian cats are longhaired cat breeds and require regular grooming, particularly if your pet cat is allowed free-wander. Unlike shorter hair cats, its grooming can be difficult. This is because these cats have thick coat along with an undercoat, which feels like there are two coats instead of one. Therefore, these cats need regular grooming in order to stay clean, healthy and happy. Moreover, grooming is an ideal time to shower your pet cat with love and affection.
The grooming is of great importance to keep your Persian cat clean, happy, healthy, and comfortable. Some of the major advantages of grooming are as follows:
- Brushing and bathing removes unwanted dust, grit, dirt and loose hair as well as lifts dead skin cell flakes.
- Daily brushing increases blood circulation, hence improving muscle tone and invigorating healthy new hair growth.
- Brushing separates each hair, making your cat's wonderful coat even fuller and fluffier.
- Brushing removes excess hair, reducing the ingestion of hair during self-grooming. This will reduce cat fur balls.
- Regular grooming reduces shedding, which means less cat fur around the house, making it easier for those humans who are vulnerable to allergies to cope.
- A neglected coat can be easily tangled, matted, and knotted, making it a perfect breeding spot for parasites.
- Grooming is a perfect time to examine your Persian for possible ticks, lice, mites, or symptoms of any other minor skin, eyes, ears and mouth diseases.
Brushing with a fine wire brush on a daily basis is suggested in order to prevent matting of the fur, forming of knots, and shedding of hair. Claw trimming is also an important part of cat grooming, and should not be neglected.
Although, it highly depends on the nature of your Persian cat, however, a large number of cats enjoy getting brushed and groomed. It is better to start grooming routine as kitten so that it can get used to it.
Remember that you should never wake your cat from sleep or try to groom it when it is asleep. Moreover, postpone the grooming session until later if your cat become stressed and irritated during the session.
Types of Cats
Posted by gracelydia51 in Cats, Small Mammals on January 26, 2012
There are a large number of different types of cats, which makes it difficult to categorize them. However, we can categorize domesticated cats on the basis of their length and types of their coat. Other popular categories that are used include classification based on their physical features and size.
Here are some of the most popular cat types.
Long-haired Cats:
Long-haired cats usually belong to the areas with cold climates. Their long hair keeps them warm in extreme low temperatures of their surroundings. Popular examples include Persian cats, Birman cats, and Siberian cats.
Hairless Cats:
As the name shows, hairless cats do not have hair on their body. They look bald, which is thought to be caused by natural mutation of their species. Popular hairless cats include Sphynx, the Dwelf, Bambino, and the Minskin.
Rexed Cats:
Rexed cats have curly hair, and this feature can be passed on from one offspring to another. However, the visibility of this characteristic is held by either dominant or recessive genes. Popular examples of these cats include Devon rex cat, Cornish rex cat, and the Skookum cat.
Short-legged Cats:
Cats that are categorized according to their physical features include short-legged cats. The most popular short-legged cats include Munchkin cat, Bambino, Lambkin, and Genetta. Since the cats of this group have short legs, therefore they are often called "dwarf cats".
Short-tailed Cats:
These cats extremely short tails, which look similar to lumps. The most popular cats that have short tail include the Cymric, the American Bobtail, and the Manx.
Atypical-eared Cats:
These types of cats have either curled or folded ears. Sometimes, their ears look asymmetrical. The most popular examples of such cats include American Curl and the Scottish Ford.

Date story was published: Friday, February 16, 1990
Kentucky, a James "Buster" Douglas of Southeastern Conference basketball, floored the league's Mike Tyson last night.
But like last weekend's heavyweight upset, the SEC's Tyson, Louisiana State, had a shivering knockdown blow of its own. Chris Jackson, the baddest man on the SEC basketball planet, delivered a scary explosion of points on UK.
The Cats held on, emboldened by the screams of a record Rupp crowd of 24,301, to beat LSU 100-95. The old record was the 24,288 who saw last year's UK-LSU game.
Kentucky roared to a 23-point first-half lead and appeared to have subdued LSU, No. 9 in the country and No. 1 in the SEC.
The Tigers never led, and tied UK only at 3-3 (the first of Jackson's seven three-pointers), but Jackson made things interesting.
Jackson, the SEC's leading scorer in both of his seasons, scored 26 of his game-high 41 points in the second half. His brilliant shooting included six three-pointers in the second half, three of which came in the final three minutes.
Jackson's missiles helped LSU close to within two, 94-92. Seventy-two nail- biting seconds remained.
But Richie Farmer hit six straight free throws in the final 1:05 to give Kentucky the victory.
UK (13-10) closed to within a half-game of first-place LSU. Considered an also-ran and saddled with probation, the Cats improved their SEC record to 9-5.
LSU, awesomely talented but still basketball babes, fell to 19-5 overall and 9-4 in the SEC.
"My esteem for this team can't get any higher," UK coach Rick Pitino said of his Cats. "The impressive thing is we beat a team on a seven-game winning streak that had the kind of performance that young man put on."
That young man was Jackson, a sophomore chronologically but a savvy NBA vet in terms of nerveless talent.
"He's my Pistol Pete," said UK's Derrick Miller, recalling LSU's last precocious backcourt star, Pistol Pete Maravich. "We knew it was coming. We didn't panic."
Pitino confessed to re-evaluating his defensive philosophy after watching Jackson almost single-handedly turn a thorough -- if sloppy -- UK victory into high drama. Pitino said Wednesday he differed from legendary UK coach Adolph Rupp, who 20 years ago conceded points to Maravich and designed his defenses to stop Pistol's teammates. Pitino said he believed in stopping the other team's first option.
"I've changed to Coach Rupp's philosophy," Pitino said. "I've never seen before -- maybe Michael Jordan -- where you wonder what defense do you use? . . . He hit three 'threes' I don't think we can hit the rim on."
UK led 87-70 with less than six minutes left.
Then Jackson suddenly -- inevitably -- came alive. Four of Jackson's three- pointers and 14 of his points came thereafter. "I just love that pressure," said Jackson, who missed nine of his first 13 shots and six of his first seven three-point attempts. LSU needed something special from Jackson after freshman center Shaquille O'Neal fouled out with 6:52 left.
"Coach kept yelling and screaming to get beyond the NBA line to guard him," said Sean Woods, one of UK's many heroes. "I thought, 'Hey, I am. This guy's at the hash mark.' "
Jackson saved his eye-popping three-pointers for the end. With 2:46 left, he stopped and popped on the fast break to cut UK's lead to 92-86. LSU hadn't been that close since the game's first six minutes.
Backdoor baskets by John Pelphrey and Deron Feldhaus kept Kentucky ahead, but Jackson kept countering with three-pointers. One from the right corner with two UK defenders all over him brought LSU to within two, 94-92, with 1:12 left.
"It's got to worry you anytime you've got a guy who can make those shots," Farmer said.
Farmer came to the rescue. He hit all six free throws in three one-and-ones in the final 1:12.
"That wasn't anything new," he said. "I acted like I was at practice. It didn't bother me. I like it."
Rupp Arena housed a celebration of revenge throughout most of the first half. UK led by as much as 23 points as the Cats set about making amends for an emotional 94-81 loss at Baton Rouge last month.
UK had LSU out of sync in the half. The Tigers shot horribly (11 of 34) and openly oozed with frustration.
At one point, backup 7-footer Stanley Roberts received a technical for batting the ball at one of the referees.
Later, after committing a turnover against a UK trap, Jackson scowled at a referee and gestured that he had been slapped on the forearm. "There was a lot of holding and pushing," Jackson said, "but that goes with the territory."
"We could have wound up like Noriega," LSU coach Dale Brown. "They were so emotional it was like an avalanche. We could have been down by 30."
Kentucky struggled with its shooting, too. The Cats made only 16 of 47 shots. But UK's floor game excelled. The Cats had only six turnovers, 11 fewer than LSU. UK outscored LSU 16-4 off turnovers.
UK never trailed in the half, building its lead to as much as 41-18.
UK ran out of emotional gas, Pitino said, allowing LSU to go on an 18-7 run in the final 6:14 of the half.
"We were running out of gas because we didn't substitute like normal," Pitino said. Reggie Hanson (11 points and 12 rebounds in 40 minutes) and Deron Feldhaus (24 points, 10 rebounds and one turnover in 39 minutes) pulled extra duty, Pitino said, because of LSU's tall and deep front line.
UK got a lift from Woods in the second half. Limited to less than three minutes in the first half because of foul trouble, Woods scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half.
Woods also had seven assists, enabling the sophomore to set a school record for first-year players. Woods increased his season's assist total to 128, two more than Dirk Minniefield had as a freshman in 1979-80.

Because of their proneness to humour, Romanians have learnt to use it mercilessly even (or, better yet, especially) in relation to notorious icons of the political class which emerged after 1989 (the year of the Revolution). Therefore, any breach in the code of behaviour of the ideal politician was and still is verbally penalized with sheer irony by means of representative nicknames.
My research has two parts: a theoretical one, which regards a brief history of nicknames, generally speaking, and an application part. Here I present some criteria according to which I classified some of the most common nicknames of the politicians. Whilst the traditional system of nicknaming is characterized by stability and duration, the new system refers to occasionality and transience. Here are, for example, some of the criteria of this new system I deal with in the body of my research:
● appearance and dress code,
● the job practised before the political career,
● serious moral flaws,
● mistakes made due to lack of knowledge,

Dead Monsters and Bleeding Objects - I
Thomas Suire's show which opened here Saturday is divided into two parts: "Le Safari Imaginaire," mythical, whimsical animals, their heads mounted like trophies, which have all been wiped out thanks to man, and "L'art Eco-vert" sculptures made from found objects recycled into art.
The poster child for the show, (pictured right) the piece called "My New Wife Loves Football" hints at a sinister, Stepford wife-like reality, and in fact, Thomas's comment about the piece confirms "Une légère operation, sans aucune danger, qui peut sauver bien les couples." That is, "A minor operation, completely safe, that saves marriages."
If only marital bliss were that simple.
Each of the fifteen pieces in this part of the show display an imagination that is at once dark, unfettered, wild, ironic and deeply, deeply humorous. The artist is an actor and musician whose gentle, self-effacing mien belies the fact that inside resides a monster talent. He resorts to pieces like this when only three dimensions will do. He plays the cello and the theramin and has an entourage around him of artists and musicians. Yesterday his album with Adeline Loiseau - together they form the group "Mismerizer" - debuted in stores around town, and when he works solo, he creates under the name "Infecticide."
The photographer Laetitia Laguzet took the photo above. Another friend, Jacques de Candé added gramophone music for the vernissage, and it is thanks to artist Jimmy Vep (who lives in California and wasn't able to make the opening night) that we met.
Some of the pieces will go to the town of Lille to be part of a show of monsters. http://vimeo.com/7068343
Here chez Grace til October 31st. Prices on request.

She is warm, she is caring, she smiles through her eyes and she is a woman with loads of courage and strength; well, we are talking about Manini Mishra, who has completed almost fifteen years in this city of dreams.
Her romance with stardom began in the 1995, with Amma And Family, a show on Home TV, where she essayed the role of Farah.
Even though the channel was barely viewed, Manini's talent did not go unnoticed and with dreams in her eyes, she came to Mumbai in 2001.
For Manini, it was a very tough call as she did not know anyone here, but being a brave heart, she is, she did want her heart told her to.
For her it was a new beginning as life was full of challenges for this girl. With countless dream and spirit of fire, she stood like a rock to make a name for herself.
Auditions after auditions, rejections after rejections, life was not easy for her, but she never looked back.
However, year 2003 changed everything for her, as she was cast as Pari Kapadia in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin and as they say the rest is history.
Manini essayed the role of Pari Kapadia to such a perfection that till date, it's been etched in the minds of people and she is often mistaken to be the character rather than herself.
Her rise was unprecedented and she was part of shows like Sarkar, Twinkle Beauty Parlour, Jeete Hain Iske Liye, Remix, CID and the very recent Diya Aur Baati Hum.
She has also been part of films like Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part II, Rules: Pyaar Ka Superhit Formula, Krrish, Fashion, Student Of The Year and many more.
For Manini Mishra, life has always been full of up's and down's, but then she has always taken things in her stride, as she does not believe in delving into the past but believes in only looking ahead.
Her journey has been full of resilience, courage and hope. She has given her all, be it in her craft or the people she loves and in return only commands respect.
Strong women do not stand victim, do not make themselves look painful and they never point fingers. They stand and they deal. Well, that's how I would like to sum up Manini Mishra.
Stay blessed girl.

There are many reasons why I want to be the next London Assembly member for Enfield and Haringey. As a candidate, I bring a very diverse background to the table. I was born in London and have lived in London for most of my life to a working-class family in NorthEast London, going to a school that was previously in special measures to eventually graduating from a good university. This shaped my view that the best path towards a good life is education, and it is our duty to deliver those opportunities. Realising I was gay at a young age and experiencing discrimination and bullying first-hand shaped my views of social justice and fairness.
Since I've been born, it feels like London has changed a lot. Demographically, there are huge shifts – politically, even bigger. Something as seemingly innocuous as the creation of the Greater London Authority has changed London massively – we have Oyster cards, Boris Bikes (as dreamed up by our own Lynne Featherstone), the London Overground and TfL Rail (soon to be Crossrail). Putting London in control of its own destiny has made London a much better place to live already. I know London can be better though. At the same time as all this progress has been a worrying slip on some issues – housing is the big social and demographic time-bomb we have on our hands. We need to act now unless we want a generation of pensioners on housing benefit.
In the shorter term, the housing problem is causing an intolerable house-of-living crisis. In Haringey, many residents spend 50% of their weekly earnings on rent. This cannot be allowed to continue. Air pollution has become a bigger issue in London. We need a big, bold approach to reducing air pollution that blights the lives of everyone across London. We need to build on London Assembly reports looking at the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street; we need to be radical looking at schemes that will reduce this as a problem. The issue of Heathrow will loom large in this election and we must, again, be the only major party unambiguously against a third runway. Local infrastructure cannot take it, local residents do not want it and our environment will not allow it.
I want to be part of a strong London Liberal Democrat team campaigning and hammering out our distinctive message – we need a full-time Mayor who will stand up for all of London, not just Zone 1, a Liberal Democrat team who will tackle the housing crisis, a team that can be trusted with the future of London Underground and delivering Crossrail, a team that will work hard to protect local services as we have done since 2012. We have a proud record in London, and we will continue to have one – but only if we continue to shout about it.
Being from North-East London, the way in which the North is distinct from the rest of London resonates with me. Enfield and Haringey is no exception. When I canvassed during the General Election in places like Highgate, Bounds Green and Muswell Hill, I realised something: these were our voters – they had not left us, so much as they had felt we left them. They are socially liberal progressives with social justice at their heart. A large number of them stayed with us, but there is still a large number that we need to win back next year, and in years to come.
I want to win these people back. If shortlisted and selected to be the Liberal Democrat London Assembly candidate for Enfield and Haringey constituency, I will fight tirelessly to deliver our unique message, to fight for our unique values and to deliver a victory for our party across London and to elect more London Assembly members in 2016.

|@jpennycook ,
This situation was recently discussed with input from Secunia here (scroll down):-
I get my software as Media Player Classic-Home Cinema from the K-lite Codec Pack here (I use the Mega pack) :-
PSI shows the current version 1.3.1752.0 as secure in it's "patched" tab .
K-Lite offers an alternate choice of MPC as the latest version 184.108.40.206 rev 107 , but I think PSI will still show it as "insecure/End of Life" ; if you have confidence in it you could risk setting an "ignore rule" and all that implies .
Hope that helps .
It always seems impossible until its done.

|Hope I am posting in the correct place.
Secunia says I have Media Player Classic 126.96.36.199 installed. I want to uninstall it but cannot find it in Add-Remove programs. Also cannot find it in the Start menu of Windows XP.
The path Secunia is showing is C Programs - Media Player Classic. mplayerc.exe and mplayerc.ini files are there.
Can anyone give me advice for uninstalling Media Player Classic?

Hello Brussels ,
You would be better starting your own thread under programmes as this one deals with the MPC vulnerabilities themselves rather than your problem of deleting the/a programme .
If you have followed the Secunia PSI pathway to the Media Player Classic folder you can delete the individual files or the entire folder - if you so wish , Windows system is not dependent upon it - by right clicking and selecting delete .
If you are not sure whether other programmes depend on MPC you can always rename a folder or file by , say , adding _old to the end of the .exe to read ".exe_old" .
You can then delete the file at your leisure if such action has shown no side effects .
Deleting or renaming will remove the files/folder from the PSI scan .
If you have further trouble , create your own thread in the relevant sub-forum ; see top left column on this page .
Take care
It always seems impossible until its done.

|I have removed every instance, file and folder I can find related to Mplayer including the original .exe file and PSI still says I have one. There is nothing at all like it or relating to K-lite codecs in that folder ( I also deleted the K-lite) so I am at a loss as to my next move. PSI has scanned several times since removal and still tells me it's in that same folder.
Any ideas?

IRVINE, Calif. — The Latest on a driver arrested after a chase and carjacking (all times local):
10:15 p.m.
A man wanted for assault on a police officer has been arrested in Irvine after a wild car chase that ended with a carjacking and the driver tackled by a police dog.
Antonio Padilla Jr. was arrested Monday.
Police say he was suspected of almost hitting a Garden Grove policewoman with his truck during a traffic stop last week. He also was wanted for a parole violation.
Police spotted his pickup Monday. During a chase, the driver hit several cars then left the battered truck, pulled a woman from her SUV and stole it.
The woman's brother tried to drag the carjacker out but backed off when the lurching car nearly pinned him against the abandoned truck.
The car crashed and the driver tried to run but was taken down by the police dog.
8:31 p.m.
Police have arrested a carjacking suspect in Irvine after a wild chase during which the man stole another car and was finally tackled by a police dog.
Police say the man was wanted for a Garden Grove carjacking last week and tried to ram police who spotted his pickup truck Monday in neighbouring Santa Ana.
In the ensuing chase, the truck careened along streets into Irvine, rear-ended a car, clipped several others and then finally rolled into an apartment building parking area where the driver pulled a woman out of an SUV.
A good Samaritan who tried to drag him out of the car backed off when it lurched forward and nearly pinned him against the truck.
The driver was arrested after crashing and being tackled by a police dog.

What is gelato? It is an Italian treat that tastes just like ice cream, but it isn't exactly the same. Gelato is awesome because it tastes as good as ice cream, if not better, but doesn't have the same fat content. That is why you need a gelato ice cream machine to make it. Don't make the mistake of thinking that an ice-cream machine can double as a gelato maker; it can't. Making gelato is a different process that takes a different type of machine.
There are things that differentiate gelato from ice cream, and most of them stem from the way that it is made. The major differences between ice cream and gelato are:
- Gelato is not made with cream. Gelato starts with milk and then reverses it, so it contains a lot less fat
- Gelato is much more flavorful because it is denser. Ice cream is made through a process of air being whipped, so it doesn't have the same taste sensation
- You don't need any cream or eggs to make gelato, just milk
- Gelato doesn't need to be frozen at the same low temperature, so you don't have to worry about freezing it the way that you do ice cream
- Gelato, when made with the right machine, is super easy to make
There are good gelato machines, and then there are better ones. It isn't always about the price that you pay for your gelato machine. But if you want a good gelato machine, sometimes paying a bit more means that you make a higher-quality gelato that just tastes better. Gelato machines come with various options, but having more options doesn't always make the best gelato. If you invest in the right machine, it can last a lot longer and make incredible-tasting Gelato.
If you get a machine with a self-refrigerating mechanism, it will turn the gelato more slowly and give it a better consistency. If your machine doesn't provide a self-refrigerating option, it may take hours to make the gelato, and then you have to let it sit in the freezer for hours before serving it. If you get a machine with a self-refrigerating mechanism, it can be ready to eat in twenty to thirty minutes.
Get a designated gelato machine
Although you can make gelato in an ice-cream maker, it won't taste the same. A gelato machine is designed to make gelato with the right consistency and temperature. Ice cream machines introduce air into the process, which can spoil the richness of your gelato. Gelato is much denser, which is what differentiates it from its ice cream counterpart.
Find a machine that is quiet and will last
Even if you don't want to spend a whole lot of money, it is important to find a machine that isn't too noisy. If you skimp on the price and get a cheaper one, you might end up regretting it. If you want to run the machine during dinner, the last thing you want is the distraction of the noise. A gelato maker with a whisper-quiet operation is really a nice option. Although this option is a bit pricier, if you make the investment, you won't end up having to listen to it or replacing it.
The size matters
If you have a bigger family or entertain guests a lot, then the higher-capacity machines will better fulfill your needs. Before you find the right gelato machine, consider how much you will want to make and what you will be using it for. Gelato makers typically come in 1.2 quarts sizes up to 1.5 quarts, so there isn't just a difference in the amount they make; a smaller machine might be easier to store when you aren't using it.
The manufacturer does matter
If you want to get the best gelato machine, then it is a good idea to get an Italian one. Since gelato is an age-old Italian delicacy, it would make sense that Italian manufacturers know best how to make it. Looking for a company that has Italian origins will likely ensure that you get the type of machine that will make you happy.
A gelato machine might seem like a fancy name for just another ice-cream machine, but it is critically different. If you want to get an excellent machine that works well, is quiet and easy to store, you might want to consider investing just a bit more to get one that lasts and does the best job to make the tastiest Italian treat ever.

ADOPTION charity PACT is to hold an event for adopted adults, birth relatives and adopters to remember family members who died before they were reunited.
The Remembrance and Reflection Day will take place in London on Saturday 8th November. It is also open to professionals who work with adults affected by adoption.
It will include a non-religious ceremony for people adopted as children and birth families to remember relatives who have died.
The ceremony will be followed by an event for everybody, which will include music, speakers including Sue Elliott, author of Love Child, Jenny Plant, Chair of the Natural Parents Network, Alley Lofthouse of Afoundling, and a Ribbon Ceremony.
Organiser Jean Milsted said: "Every year PACT supports up to 100 adults with tracing their relatives and it can be devastating for them to find out that the person they are searching for has passed away.
"This can be particularly poignant for birth parents who find that the child that they placed for adoption had died some years ago. Sometimes the grief cannot be shared openly, and so this ceremony can be a place to feel safe, where other people understand what it is like for them.
"We will also be having a Ribbon Ceremony – a tradition started by the charity Norcap that has now closed - where ribbons represent people they want to think about on the day.
"This whole event is a way for people to think about their relatives and reflect on their adoption experience as well as an opportunity to meet other people in the same situation. It is not just for PACT adopters and adoptees, but is open to any adopted adults, birth relatives and adopters who would like to come."
The event will be held at Resource for London at 356 Holloway Road, London N7 6PA. The ceremony is at 2.15pm with the main event at 2.45pm. The event finishes at 5pm.
Tickets are £5 each as a contribution towards costs. To book a place please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
PACT supports vulnerable families through outstanding adoption services, permanent fostering, award-winning therapeutic support and community projects in London and the south.

- Words by Mr Tom M Ford, Features Writer, MR PORTER
More than three years after their dark debut, The Fool, Warpaint returned last month with a second helping of their stylishly psychedelic indie music. Following a period of intense touring, the four-piece retreated to Joshua Tree to create their self-titled LP, which, with the help of legendary rock producer Flood, expands on their cooler-than-thou rock with bulkier sounds and experimental beats. Having also recruited the services of director Mr Chris Cunningham - who produced their album artwork and a yet-to-be-released documentary - the group are reaching new creative heights. Recent news of a collaboration with Earl Sweatshirt and King Krule, and confirmation of the girls' appearance at this year's SXSW festival, has done nothing to harm their status as indie queens of the moment.
Taking in everything from J Dilla to Aphex Twin, check out the tracks that have been inspiring Warpaint of late - and stream their new album, here.
Talking Heads
"Born Under Punches"
"This is the opening track on arguably their finest album, and features a good dose of Brian Eno synths and that futuristic Afro-funk that is everywhere these days."
J Dilla
"A beautiful yet short meditation off his final album Donuts, this track displays the perfectly imperfect sampling that makes the record feel like a pleasant hangover."
"Neon Lights"
"The Man-Machine album, which features this track, sounds as much like a pack of proto-electronic Düsseldorfians from the late 1970s as it does experimental synth artists from the future. This song and record will never age."
A Guy Called Gerald
"Voodoo Ray"
"A house classic that pairs well with bicycle rides in the Joshua Tree desert."
"Yama Yama"
"An incredible-sounding record, this song is the epitome of 1970s French production, but with an added traditional Japanese twist."
Nathan Fake
"I'm a huge fan of his past two records - he creates an astounding sonic landscape. This track is an extremely satisfying adventure and made for listening to on a good pair of headphones."
Aphex Twin
"Alberto Balsam"
"This was a song that we listened to about 400 times a day while writing in Joshua Tree. One of the most deliberate and beautiful pieces of music ever written."
A Tribe Called Quest
"Electric Relaxation"
"As well as GZA of Wu-Tang's Liquid Swords, this is a record that gets a great deal of air time in our camp. Both albums conjure up nostalgia, but evolve and change shape with age."
"Erotic City"
"Perhaps an obvious choice of artist, but this is my favourite incarnation of Prince. This has a wonderfully unromantic sentiment and is a perfect track."
"Moondog loved to explore the complexities and textures of music, but this track is just so simple and sweet - the perfect lullaby."

Hinge Cabinet Replacement For Door Hinges Kitchen Cabinet
Sizes: Thumbnail, Medium, Large.
If we intend to update the look through the kitchen cabinet door hinges, so it's good to know how many hinges that need to be replaced. Most kitchen cabinet with a height under 50 inches only requires 2 hinges, while the kitchen cabinet with a larger size, it may take a number of additional hinges that can support the weight perfectly. As this is one of the essential elements of kitchen cabinets, it will be very important for us in choosing the right hinges. If necessary, we can request the assistance of a professional to help choose the right type of hinges before deciding to proceed with the installation. Another thing to note is the fact that the hinges are present in various shapes hence we will probably need advice on the best type of hinges for kitchen cabinets.
(1) Butt hinges – this is one type of hinges which is also known as mortise hinges are commonly used for kitchen cabinet doors. Butt hinges have two metal leaves connected by a pin and very easy to install. Additionally, butt hinges are very strong type of hinges and ideal for kitchen cabinets which incidentally has a very high level of usage.

Based on the photo above, you might think that you're looking at some version of the Ferrari 599. You'd be wrong, though, as this is actually a specially-built rotary supercar from an independent German manufacturer known as you ready for this? Rotary Super Cars.
Underneath what appears to be replicated fiberglass and carbon fiber Fiorano bodywork sits a four-rotor Wankel engine developed by RSC with parts sourced from that other House of Rotor, Mazda. The supercar is projected to offer four levels of trim including S, RS, RSR and N-Spec, featuring single or twin turbochargers with output ranging from 500 metric horsepower all the way up to 1,200. An in-house eight-speed sequential transmission is also part of the package, along with active aerodynamics and suspension, electronic differential and a carbon-aluminum driveshaft, making its resemblance to its Maranello counterpart (rotary engine notwithstanding) more than passing.
Inside, the RSC Raptor GT is also said to feature a pair of seven-inch digital displays coupled with a five-inch tachometer, gear indicator and shift lights, the entire package supposedly weighing in at a claimed 2,425 pounds. RSC also plans an all-wheel drive, mid-engine project with similar specs, which seems like a lot to bite off while they still appear to be chewing on this one. But in the meantime you can check out the trio of renderings in the gallery below and the press release after the jump.
RSC Raptor GT
Rotary Super Cars Germany is a young company with the goal of offering symbiosis of high performance vehicles and active environment to create new benchmarks in the areas, power efficiency, value for money or the use of high-tech materials.
Since there is no vehicle that meets all these requirements, the construction of the RSC Raptor GT™ started in 2009. Systems such as the VAS (variable aerodynamic system) were developed and brought to small series production. This vehicle meets all requirements or exceed them. With enthusiasm and passion of our team involved in the development and production of the Raptor GT™. We guarantee the best workmanship and highest individuality. The selective use of proven components increases the active/passive safety while reducing production costs, which ultimately benefits every buyer.
With the Raptor GT™, we give our customers the opportunity to experience the unique combination of high end components and environmental protection on the roads and racetracks of the world. The Raptor GT™ doesn't follow the standard in many areas, he goes a very unique way with his drive and approach design. Each vehicle is handmade and unique, which corresponds exactly to the needs and wishes of the owner.
The RSC Raptor ™ GT S, RS, RSR and N-Spec does not have a conventional drive system as used in most of today's super sports cars. He has a self-developed and heavily modified, based on parts of the Mazda 13B MSP, high-performance engine with four rotors (4-Rotor rotary engine) and, depending on the model, a water-to-air intercooled turbo or biturbo system. This engine is the heart of the RSC Raptor GT™ and gives him his very special temperament. The power output of a rotary engine uniformly grows with increasing rpm. The high-performance engine in the RSC Raptor GT™ has the redline set depending on the selected driving mode, up to 7,500 rpm or 9000 rpm. The fuel E85 is used, which is produced from rapeseed. By using this fuel to reduce the emissions by about 90% is feasible.
The sequential 8-speed RSC R-SHIFT transmission in the RSC Raptor GT™ is controlled by a hydraulic shift system with shift times of 25-35 milliseconds. Furthermore, each RSC Raptor GT™ has a carbon-aluminum drive shaft, and an electronically controlled rear axle differential.
The powertrain is controlled by an engine management system, specifically developed from Bosch Engineering GmbH for the RSC Raptor GT™, including a complete electronic system consisting of ESP, ABS, EBD, VAS, R-TRAC (traction control), R-DIFF (electronic differential) and a Launch Control. The RSC Raptor GT™ RSR and N-Spec also has an active suspension. All electronic systems can be easily operated via the buttons on the steering wheel.
Depending on the model the body of the RSC Raptor GT™ is of 80% glass fiber or carbon fiber and differs in details in the form and aerodynamics. Furthermore a wide range of special equipment is available. Starting with the rims, complete body equipment packages up to the painting - the customer has no limits.
The RSC Raptor GT™ also has the RSC VAS™ (Variable Aerodynamic System), a system that changes the aerodynamics and the aerodynamic properties of the RSC Raptor GT™ to generate more downforce at high speeds. This system include SBS (Speed Brake System).
The RSC Raptor GT™ has two 7" full-graphic-Diyplays, where various telemetry data such as speed, mileage, temperatures, pressures, and the chosen vehicle settings and many other data, are available. These displays create exciting visual effects that show the high-tech genes of the RSC Raptor GT™. They are placed on the left and right of the large 5" tachometer with digital gear indicator and shift light. The driver is always looking at the relevant information and driving a RSC Raptor GT™ becomes a special experience.
The cockpit offers an unique combination of high-quality materials like carbon fiber, brushed aluminum and various types of leather. Many interior equipment packages are available. There also no limits for the customer.
Production levels of the RSC Raptor GT range from the base 500 hp 2.6L 4 rotor rotary to 800 hp turbo and 1.200 hp twin turbo variants. The cars are built in Germany. They are available in left- and right-hand drive configuration.
The second car which is currently in the construction phase. The main facts: Mid-engine, AWD, 8-speed sequential RSC R-SHIFT transmission, RSC VAS, 90% carbon fiber, over 1.200 hp and a weight under 1.100 kg.
This car will set new benchmarks...

Hello, my name is Rebecca and I can't sit still. When I'm not reading, knitting or making jewelry, I spend a lot of hours dancing in my own living room, my den, my kitchen, with my earbuds in and the volume on my iPod turned up. My wife is always tickled to catch me doing it. Our dog and two cats are perpetually confused and I can only imagine what my neighbors think.
I wonder what they all would think if they knew I do it so that the energy inside doesn't build up and push me around the bend.
Like a lot of people, my history with depression precedes my birth: two of my great-aunts were in psychotherapy for most of their adult lives. My father was formally diagnosed with clinical depression in 1991 and had been hospitalized when he was in high school. My childhood was filled with hugs goodbye and "see you later, sweetie. Daddy's got a doctor's appointment." No one told me until I was much older that the doctor he was seeing was a therapist.
My own symptoms began when I was fifteen – I couldn't get to sleep at night. For the majority of my high school years, I attended class on between one or two hours of sleep every day. Food issues soon followed – I would become nauseated and purge everything I'd eaten. I've never called it insomnia or bulimia because, to me, they were merely recurring symptoms of a much larger problem. It's normal for adolescents to experience high energy and low self-esteem, but children with depression suffer everything in the extreme. On a good day, my energy could have kept Paris lit for a week and my self-esteem hovered somewhere around -50. I felt absolutely worthless.
I stowed my depression away where no one could see it. It helped that there was always another crisis going on nearby to hide behind: a friend who was having a manic episode and needed rescuing, another friend who was having a sexuality crisis and needed comforting, a sibling with autism who was being bullied, a parent who was leaving, a parent who was dying. I invested myself completely in caretaking duties – being a bulwark for the people in my life who were swept up in their own turmoil - and, for a time, it helped me to forget my own just under the surface.
Later, chasing scholastic success replaced the crises and I poured all of the dark energy I'd been trying to ignore into getting a good education. Finally, when I graduated with my B.A. in Journalism and came out to a rapidly shrinking job market, there was no place left to hide it.
Crafting came into my life at this time. After graduation, I had a seasonal job at a metaphysical shop which also sold beads and bead findings. When I wasn't scanning online ads for reporters or writing freelance pieces, I started making my own pearl and jade jewelry to wear on job interviews.
Rebecca has shared her story with Close Knit readers but writes about her own experiences mostly over at her blog Black Mood Craft.

A nationally recognized leader in the field of public-private partnerships (P3s), Corey Boock offers clients more than 25 years' experience in structuring, procuring, financing and negotiating cutting-edge deals in the transportation industry, as well as the social infrastructure, water/wastewater and solid waste sectors.
Mr. Boock handles a wide range of P3 and alternative project delivery and innovative finance approaches including concession/franchises, availability payment models, design-build, design-build-finance (DBF) and design-build-operate-maintain (DBOM). He has represented public agencies as well as private sponsors and contractors in Alaska, Arizona, California, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and British Columbia.
Largely as a result of his leadership role in the financial close of the precedent-setting $1.18 billion East End Crossing project (now known as Lewis and Clark Bridge), Law360 profiled Mr. Boock as a "Project Finance MVP" in 2013. The East End Crossing project and financing included the largest issue of Private Activity Bonds (PABs) for a U.S. P3 transportation deal and was the first bridge availability payment concession transaction in the country.
Mr. Boock, who is Chambers-rated nationally and globally in the field of P3s, guides state departments of transportation as well as regional and local transportation agencies in developing P3 programs from the outset. These include the Arizona Department of Transportation, the Indiana Finance Authority, the Nevada Department of Transportation, the Riverside County Transportation Commission and the Texas Department of Transportation (the largest P3 program in U.S. history).
In the social infrastructure realm, Mr. Boock is at the forefront of applying proven P3 models to develop governmental facilities projects such as courthouses, prisons and street lighting.
His expertise also includes nearly two decades advising private-sector clients on P3s and design-build models in the water/wastewater sector. He has been particularly active in the use of innovative project delivery on water/wastewater/biosolid and related treatment and reclamation facilities in California and throughout the West Coast.
In the solid waste arena, Mr. Boock has advised on groundbreaking public sector divestitures and private sector sales of landfills and transfer stations and outsourcing of operations, including pioneering transactions for counties in California.
Arizona Department of Transportation – Phoenix Metropolitan Area Freeway Lighting Project. Leader of the legal team advising on the development, procurement and financing of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area Freeway Lighting Project through a DBFOM availability payment concession delivery model. ADOT seeks to upgrade more than 19,000 luminaires from high-pressure sodium to LED technology with remote monitoring and controls, covering approximately 300 miles of controlled access highway throughout the greater Phoenix area, including the Deck Park Tunnel on I-10. Following an anticipated two-year construction/installation period, the concessionaire will then operate and maintain the system to prescribed performance standards for approximately fifteen - twenty years. The procurement commenced in fall 2017.
Michigan Department of Transportation – I-75 Modernization Project (Segment 3) P3. Leader of the legal team advising on a P3 widening and reconstruction project of the third section of Michigan's Interstate 75. The $600mm capital cost project has been in the planning and development stages for nearly 20 years. Segment three of the I-75 highway spans a 5.5 mile (8.9km) section stretch serving the cities of Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Hazel Park and Oakland County. The project will add a lane in each direction and includes construction of a major underground stormwater tunnel. The reconstruction and modernization works are the first major upgrades to be done on the highway since it was built in 1960s. Mr. Boock assisted MDOT with the structuring of the procurement, the drafting and negotiation of procurement and contract documents and the development of the evaluation and selection process. Commercial and financial close were reached on October 12, 2018 and November 20, 2018 respectively.

After bringing Forest School to Croydon 10 years ago as Croydon Council's 'Forest Project', we have offered a wide variety of wild, outdoor experiences to the children, young people and adults of Croydon and beyond. We've now ventured out into the world as a Community Interest Company to carry on this good work and spread the love of the outdoors even further!
We're still working closely with Croydon Council, working with the children, young people and families of Croydon who need it most, and also working as consultants with practitioners who are seeking support to set up Forest Schools and outdoor play in the borough.
We're pretty flexible and are happy to cater for larger groups, bring our skills into schools and nurseries or welcome people out to us in one of our many local woodland venues. We work with lots of different people and groups, we're always open to new ideas, and we're looking forward to hearing from you!

Have a Very Merry Green Christmas
Christmas is the time for excess and indulgence. For those people trying to adopt an eco-friendly approach, it's the one time of year that can prove the most challenging. Yet, there are lots of things that we can do to stay green this Christmas, without making us feel blue!
Curb your spending
Most people overspend at Christmas time and buy excess items that often end up in the bin. Make a list of what you really need and try to stick to it.
Make your own
Try to make your own as much as possible, whether it's your own cards, gift tags, decorations or mince pies, making it yourself is a lot better for the planet and can also be very rewarding.
Send e-cards
Choose to send Christmas e-cards this year. Most of us communicate through email these days, so sending e-cards is becoming an increasingly acceptable way to send a greeting - it's also good for the planet!
Buy recycled
Choose recycled products, such as wrapping paper, as much as possible. Always recycle items again after use.
Shop local
When it comes to buying food for the Christmas period, try to shop locally as much as possible. Buy local produce and choose an organic or free range meat from your high street butcher. Choose items that are loose rather than wrapped in packaging.
Buy second hand
Children won't know the difference if you buy toys that are second hand, as many are of very good quality. Buying second hand gives items another lease of life, and reduces the need for them to be sent to landfill.
Avoid batteries
Try to avoid buying toys or gadgets that rely on batteries, as batteries are a huge environmental burden.
It might be a lot darker at this time of year, but that doesn't mean to say you necessarily need to whack more lights on. Opt for lighting candles, instead. They create a really cosy mood and won't impact on your energy bills.
The tree
A real Christmas tree is actually more environmentally friendly than an artificial one, so consider buying a real one this year. You can plant it after it has been used.
Don't leave your Christmas tree or decorative lights on if you go out or when you go to bed. Choose LED lights, which can help reduce energy usage.
Avoid buying gifts that are made with excess packaging or have been made abroad. Source locally made products, or consider buying friends and family an experience type of gift, such as a voucher, spa day or even money, which won't need wrapping up or comes with packaging.
Defrost your freezer
Your fridge and freezer will be working over time during the festive period to hold all the excess food. Before you start grocery shopping, defrost your freezer so that it will be working at its most efficient over Christmas.
Watch your kettle
With all those family and friends coming and going over the holiday season, your kettle will be working hard to keep everyone topped up with hot drinks. One of the biggest energy guzzlers is the kettle, so make sure that you only fill it with the amount of water that you actually need.

Early symptoms of schizophrenia and other major psychiatric disorders can mimic behaviors related to drug and alcohol abuse or adolescent turmoil (such as rapid changes in school performance
or relationships with friends).
The First Contact Assessment Service was developed by the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University to improve the outcome of such disorders through early detection and intervention.
The program's primary goal is to identify young people under age 18 who are experiencing symptoms that may indicate they are at risk for the development of major psychiatric disorders.
Assessments generally include evaluation by a psychiatrist plus diagnostic interviews and cognitive testing by our psychology team. These assessments are covered by many health insurance
plans. The First Contact Assessment Service does not take over patient care, but can provide full psychiatric and psychological evaluation reports to the patient's referring physician
or psychotherapist.
High Risk Symptoms
These experiences may indicate adolescents or young adults could be at high risk for developing a major psychiatric disorder:
Best Candidates
The following types of patients are the best candidates for First Contact Assessment services:
Complex Developmental Disorder Evaluations
Some children present with a complex mixture of motor development problems, social impairment, and/or nonspecific psychiatric symptoms. Some of these children may be at risk for developing
a major mental illness in later life, particularly if there is a family history of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. In some cases, these children may benefit from a First Contact
evaluation that includes more detailed assessment of developmental history, subtle neurological signs, motor coordination, and/or autistic symptoms. Our referring provider screening
form includes questions to help us determine whether extensive neurodevelopmental testing will be needed.
Requesting a First Contact Assessment
We limit the number of evaluations that are scheduled in order make sure people with greatest need for these services can be evaluated quickly. To help us decide whether an evaluation
is appropriate, the patient's treating mental health provider (usually a psychiatrist) must fill out the First Contact Screening Form (Physician
Referral Form for requesting evaluation by Dr. Angela Reiersen, MD), which is available at the Washington University Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
Center website. We may also request medical records, and our screening staff may ask a parent to answer some questions over the phone. After this information is reviewed,
Dr. Reiersen will decide whether an evaluation can be scheduled. You can find more information, including our
First Contact Welcome Letter, at the Washington University Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Center website . After approval by Dr. Reiersen,
parents can call 314-286-1700 to schedule their child's appointments with the First Contact Assessment Service.

Kevin Durant used to tweet some great things.
Your teams. Your favorite writers. Wherever you want them. Personalize SI with our new App. Install on iOS or Android.
Kevin Durant may have only taken a few days to decide where he was going to sign in free agency, but to NBA fans, it feelt like weeks. While they waited, they unearthed KD's old tweets. And let me tell you—they are incredible.
Durant used to be a prolific tweeter. Some of his greatest content—and, really, the site's greatest content—came from his thumbs five, even six years ago. He used to speak really candidly back then, because the site was still young, and his audience was significantly smaller than the 14.2 million who see his tweets now.
His tweets have been surfacing in recent months, and it's probably the best work the social network has done in years. Durant's old tweets deserve to be appreciated, years later, and some might warrant a spot in a museum somewhere.
• Latest on Durant's free agency | Six questions before Durant's decision
Here are some of the tweets that have been re-shared.

If Kevin wants to re-enter free agency, that's OK with me. I'd love nothing more than to see more of these thoughts.

Paying an airline extra to transport your luggage is hard enough to swallow, but paying them to lose it is the ultimate insult. So more of us are bypassing the baggage carousel altogether.
Throw in $8 blanket fees, $45 carry-on charges, and $25+ for checked luggage, and there's no question that less is more.
But packing light hasn't always been my forte. Until recently I was a one checked bag, one carry-on and one personal item, kind of girl.
Enter Eagle Creek's Tarmac 22, the perfect carry-on solution for travelers, like me, who are looking to lighten their load.
The ease and efficiency of this bag has made me a true carry-on only convert.
Favorite feature: The built-in shoe, toiletries, and dirty laundry compartments help to keep things organized. Gone is the chaos that repeated packing and unpacking once resulted in.
Not-so-favorite feature: I wish the exterior front pockets were deep enough to accommodate a laptop. I'd also like to see the addition of an exterior back pocket big enough for a paperback or travel document holder.
Bottom line: The Eagle Creek Tarmac 22 is my bag of choice for carry-on only air travel.
Available at www.EagleCreek.com as well as the Adventure Traveler section of the Travel Store at EllenBarone.com powered by Amazon. Suggested retail price: $285.00
FYI - See also Eagle Creek's Hovercraft Upright 22", currently my husband Hank's bag of choice. Product comparison below:
The Eagle Creek Hovercraft Upright 22 is available at EagleCreek.com and The Travel Store at EllenBarone.com powered by Amazon. Suggested retail price: $250.00.

General Information
Telephone Number Etiquette
When your telephone number is preceded by your area code, it is the only one like it in the United States or Canada. When leaving your telephone number for someone else to call you, be sure to include the Area Code. Numbers are most easily understood if they are given as "area code 3-1-1(pause) 5-5-5-(pause) 3-6-2-1." When writing your telephone number, separate it like this: area code 311 555-3621. If you're in business, it's smart to make it easy for your customers to reach you. Why not include your telephone number on your stationery, statements, and all advertising pieces? Show your area code, too - it helps distant parties call you faster.
Advertising Telephone Numbers
The advantages of showing numbers on stationery, signs, cards, etc. are recognized, though the growth and arrangement of telephone facilities may require the changing of telephone numbers. For this reason, stationery, cards, signs etc., showing telephone numbers should not be printed in large quantities. The customer has no property right to the telephone number assigned. The telephone number remains the property of the Telephone Company, and we reserve the right to make such telephone number changes as are necessary in the conduct of business. Any telephone number used in advertising will make it necessary to classify the telephone involved as a business telephone.
When you hear a "beep" tone
A short "beep" tone heard on your telephone about every 156 seconds means that the person with whom you are talking to is recording your conversation. This signal is provided by the telephone company for your protection. Use of a recorder without recorder-connector equipment containing a tone-warning device is contrary to the company's tariffs and is not permitted. If you do not want a record of what you are saying, ask the person with whom you are talking to disconnect the recording machine. When it is disconnected you will no longer hear the "beep" tone.
"Certain subscribers are liscensed by the Georgia Public Service Commission to use service observing equipment. A list of these subscribers, within the area served by this directory can be obtained by our Business Office upon request without cost." A section symbol(§) in the margin in the phone book adjacent to said firm or company telephone number denotes the following: "This company or firm has been licensed by the Georgia Public Service Commission to use service observing equipment pursuant to Georgia code annotated Section 16-11-65." The toll free number for the Georgia Public Service Commission is 1-800-282-5813.
Out-of-Town Directories
Directories for other cities may be obtained by calling the business office.
Telephone Directories
Consult the current directory before placing a call and avoid the use of obsolete directories. Between directory issues certain numbers do not appear in the current directory due to changes and new installations. These numbers may be secured by calling "Information." The use, in connection with the Telephone Directories, of any auxillary covers, tabs, stickers, inserts or other matters, except such as are provided by, or with the consent of, the telephone Company is prohibited. No liability shall attach to or be assumed by the company for any errors or omissions in the compiling, printing or distribution of its directories. In order that the directory record may contain correct listings at all time, notifications of changes or errors should be given at once at the Business Office of the Company.

hi mates,
I joined the forum from Hungary Actually I train a SD GT animal, that is fully original but sooo boring.
For me it's just a pure industrial tool without soul. Anyway I need to adapt myself somehow, like at home I can`t step further easily since it`s already on the top of the food chain. So, today I decided that I`m going to try to take the beast out of it - the winter is coming soon and we have time to manage our couple relationship. Hopefully she becomes an Amazon, or a Huunigan...
Started today, step by step... for first I stuck tank protective stickers today and than I ordered some Rottweiler stuff.
The chewy thing is the exhaust. Maybe mid decat arrow and akra slip on?
I`m not sure what to do, my ex was a steam loco (Ducati Diavel with full Termignoni) and I miss that torque at low rev but from the other side that was too harsh for me. Sadly but I`m not 20 or 30 anymore, rather my B side turns actually.
An exhaust with overpass valve could be my favorite - indeed:) If it exists ...

I'm titling this photo "who *doesn't* need a stuffed weasel?"
Or a candle sconce with reflective mirror, in case you'd like to pretend you are Versailles, or perhaps at Almac's inveigling to put yourself in Fitzwilliam Darcy's path…
Or a wire hat-making rack? Or a guitar?
Or a gracious gilt mirror back there on the table? Is that man in the reflection a) an apparition, b) an unwitting photo bomb-er, or c) a product of my incredible photoshopping skills? He's either a or b. Or I suppose, D) a Frenchman thinking "why is this crazy woman taking photos of the weasel?"
Here's another treasure I found: a handmade lock, with letters on the tumblers. I got really excited about it, my head teeming with visions of Robert Langdon and rosebud or whatever the word was that opened the lock in The DaVinci Code, and I began running through four letter word possibilities. Then I remembered: I'm in France. It was probably a French person who made the lock. It will probably be a French word that will open it. Merde.
The man selling it didn't have the combination, but he did knock two euros off the price because I looked so crestfallen. Oh well. It will be a nice little truc to keep me busy on those cold New England winter nights, trying out every possible combination…
Here are the treasures I came home with: A bronze pitcher with a lid chained to it (that I haven't quite figured out what it was used for, but it's obviously handmade and I think it's kind of cool. And the guy wanted 3 euros for it. SOLD!); a pottery vase with daisy (from the Alsace region of France) and the light blue pitcher that the lady threw in as a bonus, for 5 euros; an acorn lidded cup carved from a single piece of wood (for 50 cents); an ammonite fossil for 2 euros, a bracelet with the coat of arms of all the Gaelic nations (vintage, 2 euros), and my favorite purchase of the day, a tiny blue pitcher with multi-color dots, which was 6 euros and was my big splurge of the day, but I love it immensely and it brings me joy, so it was well-worth the splurge.
Not pictured: a stunning vintage structured handbag in black leather, a wrought iron trammel (to raise and lower pots in a fireplace) PLUS the hanger from which to hang the pots, and a huge beechwood ring mold for pressing Beaufort (our favorite kind of cheese). All important and necessary purchases, even if the trammel did turn my hands all sooty, and walking with it made me clanked so loudly I felt like Marley's ghost. And, let me be clear, the cheese ring is big enough that, rather than carry it, my husband wore it home as a bandolier a la Chewbacca. (I spent the afternoon calling him Cheesebacca. He thought it was hilarious, in a really very not-so hilarious sort of way.)

Small mixed forest with pines and oaks near farmland in Holland winter morning 10.30 AM. It feels could but birds sing there 'coming spring' song. Woodpeckers, tits, crows and other common birds around. The low-level hum you hear is from the A2 highway.

Dr. Mitzvah was tired. It had been a long day. He had taken care of two sore throats, a twisted ankle, three stitches in little Yochai's knee, one sparrow with a broken wing, and a trip to the hospital to see how Mrs. Noodle's new triplets were doing. In the afternoon, he was called to help shod a farmer's horse after which he had hoped to mow his own lawn, but he felt it was time to rest. So he sat in his rocking chair while Mrs. Mitzvah ran to bring him a stool for his feet and a cup of tea.
Why does your head hurt before a test? What is ADD? What is a nervous tic? How does a neurologist treat all this? Mishpacha Junior spoke to Dr. Michael Pitem, a neurologist inRehovot,Israel, to find out.
