Cat communication
This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Cat communication is the transfer of information by one or more cats that has an effect on the current or future behaviour of another animal, including humans. Cats use a range of communication modalities including vocal, visual, tactile and olfactory. Cats have intricate feelings that many people believe they can sense due to their strong connections with their individual cats.
The communication modalities used by domestic cats have been affected by domestication.[1]
Cat vocalisations have been categorised according to a range of characteristics.
Susanne Schötz categorised vocalizations according to three mouth actions:[2]
- sounds produced with the mouth closed (murmurs), including the purr, the trill and the chirrup,
- sounds produced with the mouth open and gradually closing, comprising a large variety of meows with similar vowel patterns, and
- sounds produced with the mouth held tensely open in the same position, often uttered in aggressive situations (growls, yowls, snarls, hisses, spits and shrieks).
Brown et al. categorised vocal responses of cats according to the behavioural context: during separation of kittens from mother cats, during food deprivation, during pain, prior to or during threat or attack behavior, as in disputes over territory or food, during a painful or acutely stressful experience, as in routine prophylactic injections and during kitten deprivation.[3] Less commonly recorded calls from mature cats included purring, conspecific greeting calls or murmurs, extended vocal dialogues between cats in separate cages, "frustration" calls during training or extinction of conditioned responses.
Miller classified vocalisations into five categories according to the sound produced: the purr, chirr, call, meow and growl/snarl/hiss.[4]
Owens et al. (2017) categorized cat vocalisations based on their acoustic structures. There are three categories: tonal sounds, pulse sounds, and broadband sounds. Tonal sounds are further categorized into groups of harmonically structured sounds or regular tonal sounds. Pulse vocalisations are separated into pulse bursts and hybrid pulse bursts with tonal endings. Broadband sounds are separated into four groups: non-tonal broadband sounds, broadband sounds with tonal beginnings, broadband sounds with short tonal elements, and broadband sounds with long tonal endings.[5]
The purr is a continuous, soft, vibrating sound made in the throat by most species of felines. Domestic kittens can purr as early as two days of age.[4] This tonal rumbling can characterize different personalities in domestic cats. Purring is often believed to indicate a positive emotional state, but cats sometimes purr when they are ill, tense, or experiencing traumatic or painful moments such as giving birth.[6] A more expansive definition is "purring signals a friendly social mood, and it can be given as a signal to, say, a vet from an injured cat indicating the need for friendship, or as a signal to an owner, saying thank you for friendship given."[7]
The mechanism of how cats purr is elusive. This is partly because cats do not have a unique anatomical feature that is clearly responsible for this vocalization.[8] One hypothesis, supported by electromyographic studies, is that cats produce the purring noise by using the vocal folds and/or the muscles of the larynx to alternately dilate and constrict the glottis rapidly, causing air vibrations during inhalation and exhalation.[9] Combined with the steady inhalation and exhalation as the cat breathes, a purring noise is produced with strong harmonics. Purring is sometimes accompanied by other sounds, though this varies between individuals. Some may only purr, while other cats also emit low level outbursts sometimes described as "lurps" or "yowps".
Domestic cats purr at varying frequencies. One study reported that domestic cats purr at average frequencies of 21.98 Hz in the egressive phase and 23.24 Hz in the ingressive phase with an overall mean of 22.6 Hz.[10] Further research on purring in four domestic cats found that the fundamental frequency varied between 20.94 and 27.21 Hz for the egressive phase and between 23.0 and 26.09 Hz for the ingressive phase. There was considerable variation between the four cats in the relative amplitude, duration and frequency between egressive and ingressive phases, although this variation generally occurred within the normal range.[11]
One study on a single cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) showed it purred with an average frequency of 20.87 Hz (egressive phases) and 18.32 Hz (ingressive phases).[10] A further study on four adult cheetahs found that mean frequencies were between 19.3 Hz and 20.5 Hz in ingressive phases, and between 21.9 Hz and 23.4 Hz in egressive phases. The egressive phases were longer than ingressive phases and moreover, the amplitude was greater in the egressive phases.[12]
It was once believed that only the cats of the genus Felis could purr.[13] However, felids of the genus Panthera (tigers, lions, jaguars and leopards) also produce sounds similar to purring, but only when exhaling. The subdivision of the Felidae into "purring cats" on the one hand and 'roaring cats' (i.e. non-purring) on the other, originally goes back to Owen (1834/1835) and was definitely introduced by Pocock (1916), based on a difference in hyoid anatomy. The "roaring cats" (lion, Panthera leo; tiger, P. tigris; jaguar, P. onca; leopard, P. pardus) have an incompletely ossified hyoid, which according to this theory, enables them to roar but not to purr. On the other hand, the snow leopard (Uncia uncia), as the fifth felid species with an incompletely ossified hyoid, purrs (Hemmer, 1972). All remaining species of the family Felidae ("purring cats") have a completely ossified hyoid which enables them to purr but not to roar. However, Weissengruber et al. (2002) argued that the ability of a cat species to purr is not affected by the anatomy of its hyoid, i.e. whether it is fully ossified or has a ligamentous epihyoid, and that, based on a technical acoustic definition of roaring, the presence of this vocalization type depends on specific characteristics of the vocal folds and an elongated vocal tract, the latter rendered possible by an incompletely ossified hyoid. Cats may purr for a variety of reasons, including when they're hungry, happy, or anxious.[14]
The most familiar vocalisation of adult cats is a "meow" or "miaow" sound (pronounced /miˈaʊ/). The meow can be assertive, plaintive, friendly, bold, welcoming, attention-soliciting, demanding, or complaining. It can even be silent, where the cat opens its mouth but does not vocalize.[15] Just like humans who talk a lot when they're happy, cats can too. According to The Purrington Post, a chatty cat is likely happy too.[16]
A mew is a high-pitched meow often produced by domestic kittens.[17] It is apparently used to solicit attention from the kitten's mother,[4] and adult cats may use it as well.[17] The mew is similar to what is described in Brown et al. 1978 as an isolation call. By around three to four weeks of age kittens do not mew when at least one littermate is present, and at four to five months of age kittens stop mewing altogether.[3] Adult cats rarely meow to each other, and so adult meowing to human beings is likely to be a post-domestication extension of mewing by kittens.[15]
The chirr or chirrup sounds like a meow rolled on the tongue. It is commonly used by mother cats calling their kittens inside the nest. Kittens recognize their own mother's chirp, and do not respond to the chirps of other mothers.[18] It is also used by friendly cats when eliciting the approach of another cat or a human. Humans can mimic the sound to reassure and greet pet cats.[4]
Chirping and chattering[edit]
Cats sometimes make excited chirping or chattering noises when observing or stalking prey.[19] These range from quiet clicking sounds to loud but sustained chirping mixed with the occasional meow.
Some researchers believe this chattering may also be an involuntary instinctual imitation of the moment a killing bite on the neck occurs. This action activates a vibration of the feline's jaws to allow the precision to slide between a prey's spine.[20]
Chirping is also used by mothers to comfort and get the attention of the kittens in their litters. The kittens learn to identify their mothers' chirps fairly early in life.[18] There was also mention of a call, that presumably was a chirp, in Brown et al. 1978 where a five-week-old kitten had wandered from the nest and when the mother chirped and the kitten immediately turned back in her direction.
The call is a loud, rhythmic vocalisation made with the mouth closed. It is primarily associated with female cats soliciting males, and sometimes occurs in males when fighting with each other.[4] A caterwaul is the cry of a cat in heat (estrus).[21][22]
Growl, snarl, hiss, and spit[edit]
The growl, snarl, and hiss are all vocalisations associated with either offensive or defensive aggression. They are usually accompanied by a postural display intended to have a visual effect on the perceived threat. The communication may be directed at cats as well as other species – the puffed-up hissing and spitting display of a cat toward an approaching dog is a well-known behavior. Cats hiss when they are startled, scared, angry, or in pain, and also to scare off intruders into their territory. If the hiss and growl warning does not remove the threat, an attack by the cat may follow. Kittens as young as two to three weeks will hiss and spit when first picked up by a human. "Spitting" is a shorter but louder and more emphatic version of hissing.[4]
Howl, yowl, moan, and wail[edit]
These sounds are commonly used during threatening situations. Howls are more tonal, while moans are long and slowly modulated. Anger wails are combined with growls, and yowls are similar to howls, but longer.[23]
Very high frequency ("ultrasonic") response components have been observed in kitten vocalizations.[3]

Cats use postures and movement to communicate a wide range of information. There are various responses such as when cats arch their backs, erect their hairs and adopt a sideward posture to communicate fear or aggression. Others may be only a single behavioural change (as perceived by humans) such as slowly blinking to signal relaxation.
Domestic cats frequently use visual communication with their eyes, ears, mouths, tails, coats and body postures. It has been stated that a cat's facial features change the most and are probably the best indicator of cat communication.[4]
When cats lie on their back with their belly exposed, they are in a position of vulnerability. Therefore, this position may communicate a feeling of trust[24] or comfort; however, cats may also roll onto their back to defend themselves with their claws, or to bask in areas of bright sunlight.
When cats are calm, they tend to stand relaxed with a still tail. If they become aggressive, the hind legs stiffen, the rump elevates but the back stays flat, tail hairs are erected, the nose is pushed forward and the ears are pulled back slightly. Because cats have both claws and teeth, they can easily cause injury if they become involved in a fight, so this posture is an attempt to elicit deference by a competitor without fighting. The aggressor may attempt to make challengers retreat and will pursue them if they do not flee. A fearful, defensive cat makes itself smaller, lowers itself toward the ground, arches its back and leans its body away from the threat rather than forward. Fighting usually occurs only when escape is impossible.[4]
In cats, flattened ears generally indicate that an individual feels threatened and may attack. Having the mouth open and no teeth exposed indicates playfulness.[25]
Cats can change the position of their ears very quickly, in a continuum from erect when the cat is alert and focused, slightly relaxed when the cat is calm, and flattened against the head when extremely defensive or aggressive.[26]
A direct stare by a cat usually communicates a challenge or threat and is more likely to be seen in high-ranking cats; lower-ranking cats usually withdraw in response.[4] The direct stare is often used during predation or for territorial reasons.
In contrast to a direct stare, cats will lower their eyelids or slowly blink them to show trust and affection to their owners. According to Gary Weitzman, a licensed veterinarian and animal author, this type of feline body language is similar to a "kitty kiss". He further explains in his book, "How To Speak Cat: A Guide to Decoding Cat Language," slow blinking could be a physiological response to lowered stress hormonal levels from being in a calm state.
"The slow blink really is an acceptance gesture," Weitzman said. "They do that when they're absolutely comfortable with you, and they do it with other cats as well." It's not clear why cats do this when they're feeling calm and comfortable, but Weitzman said, "it's likely an autonomic response … having to do with the cat having its cortisol [stress hormone] levels down."
In fact, Weitzman encourages cat owners to mimic this behavior to return not only a message of affection, but one that reinforces a nonthreatening position. This behavior is not exclusive to domestic house cats. Since cats can be very territorial, in the wild they utilize this slow blinking with other cats to signal themselves as friendly or nonthreatening.[27]
Cats often use their tails to communicate. A cat holding its tail vertically generally indicates positive emotions such as happiness or confidence; the vertical tail is often used as a friendly greeting toward human beings or other cats (usually close relatives). A half-raised tail can indicate less pleasure, and unhappiness is indicated with a tail held low. In addition, a cat's tail may swing from side to side. If this motion is slow and "lazy", it generally indicates that the cat is in a relaxed state. Cats will twitch the tip of their tail when hunting or when otherwise alert or playful. Abrupt, full-tail twitching indicates a state of indecision.[26] A stalking domestic cat will typically hold its tail low to the ground while in a crouch, and twitch it quickly from side to side. This tail behavior is also seen when a cat has become "irritated" and is nearing the point of lashing out, typically by biting or swatting with claws extended. A cat may also twitch its tail when playing.[28]
Sometimes during play, a cat, or more commonly, a kitten, will raise the base of its tail high and stiffen all but the tip into a shape like an upside-down "U". This signals great excitement, to the point of hyperactivity. This may also be seen when younger cats chase each other, or when they run around by themselves. When greeting their owner, cats often hold their tails straight up with a quivering motion that indicates extreme happiness.[29] A scared or surprised cat may erect the hairs on its tail and back. In addition, it may stand more upright and turn its body sideways to increase its apparent size as a threat. Tailless cats, such as the Manx, which possess only a small stub of a tail, move the stub around as if they have a full tail.
Cats often lick other cats as allogrooming or to bond (this grooming is usually done between familiar cats). They also sometimes lick humans, which may indicate affection.
Cats sometimes repeatedly tread their front paws on humans or soft objects with a kneading action. This is instinctive to cats and in adults, is presumably derived from the action used to stimulate milk let-down by the mother during nursing. Cats often purr during this behaviour, usually taken to indicate contentment and affection.
Cats have scent glands on the underside of their paws. When they knead or scratch objects or people, it is likely these pheromones are transferred to the person or object being kneaded or scratched.
Touching noses, sometimes referred to as "sniffing noses", is a friendly, tactile greeting for cats.
Some cats rub their faces on humans, apparently as a friendly greeting or indicating affection. This tactile action is combined with olfactory communication as the contact leaves scent from glands located around the mouth and cheeks. Cats also sometimes "head-bump" humans or other cats with the front part of the head; this action is referred to as "bunting".[30] Again this communication might have an olfactory component as there are scent glands in this area of the body, and is possibly for seeking attention when the cat turns their head down or to the side while doing so.[31]
Head-bumping and cheek rubbing may be displays of social dominance as they are often exhibited by a dominant cat towards a subordinate.[4]
Gentle biting (often accompanied by purring and kneading) can communicate affection or playfulness, directed at the human owner or another cat; however, stronger bites that are often accompanied by hissing or growling usually communicate aggression.[32] When cats mate, the tom bites the scruff of the female's neck as she assumes a lordosis position which communicates that she is receptive to mating.
Cats communicate olfactarily through scent in urine, feces, and chemicals or pheromones from glands located around the mouth, chin, forehead, cheeks, lower back, tail and paws.[33] Their rubbing and head-bumping behaviors are methods of depositing these scents on substrates, including humans.
Urine spraying is also a territorial marking.[34] Although cats may mark with both sprayed and non-sprayed urine, the spray is usually more thick and oily than normally deposited urine, and may contain additional secretions from anal sacs that help the sprayer to make a stronger communication. While cats mark their territory both by rubbing of the scent glands and by urine and fecal deposits, spraying, most frequently engaged in by unneutered male cats in competition with others of their same sex and species, seems to be the loudest feline olfactory statement. Female cats also sometimes spray.[4]
The urine of mature male cats in particular contains the amino acid known as felinine which is a precursor to 3-mercapto-3-methylbutan-1-ol (MMB), the sulfur-containing compound that gives cat urine its characteristically strong odor. Felinine is produced in the urine from 3-methylbutanol-cysteinylglycine (3-MBCG) by the excreted peptidase cauxin. It then slowly degrades via bacterial lyase into the more-volatile chemical MMB.[35] Felinine is a possible cat pheromone.

The 31-year-old man fell asleep on a sofa at a party in January last year and told the court in the western city of Bergen he woke to find the 23-year-old woman was having oral sex with him. Under Norwegian law, all sexual acts with someone who is "unconscious or for other reasons unable to oppose the act" are considered rape. The court sentenced the woman Wednesday to nine months in jail and ordered her to pay 40,000 Norwegian crowns ($6,355) in compensation. "This is a very harsh sentence," the woman's lawyer, Per Magne Kristiansen, told the Norwegian news agency NTB. The woman argued the man had been awake and consented. The prosecutor had sought a 10-month sentence and argued the court should not be more lenient with a woman than a man. It was Norway's first conviction of a woman for rape. Norway has long traditions of equality -- 40 percent of the cabinet of Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, for instance, are women. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=8332138 Back to top LexiLunaticJoined: 25 Jul 2004Posts: 185 Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2005 10:20 pm Post subject: Amazing.

The Phyllis A. was fished by the same Gloucester family for 75 years. Many people working in Gloucester's fishing industry today, at some point, fished off the Phyllis A.

As we reported in the earlier installments in this series, ABC News is reporting that scholars and pundits are once again pushing for the abolition of the Electoral College. They insist that the electoral college established by our Founders in the Constitution is outmoded and not in keeping with the realities of contemporary presidential politics. One proposal being promoted by those seeking to scrap the Electoral College is the National Popular Vote (NPV) initiative.
Constitutionalists will at once recognize problems in the National Popular Vote (NPV). First, let us consider the historical issues. That is to say, any democratization of the presidential election process is an affront to the express intent of the Founders. The men who constructed our federal government zealously guarded against permitting the harmful influence of democracy to infect the inner workings of our nation. In the case of the Electoral College, the Founders intended the body of electors to be a deliberative convention of wise men brought together for the sole purpose of soberly choosing a president from among the available candidates.
In Federalist, Number 68, Alexander Hamilton explained how the method chosen by him and his colleagues of electing the president was still influenced by the will of the people.
It was desirable that the sense of the people should operate in the choice of the person to whom so important a trust was to be confided. This end will be answered by committing the right of making it, not to any pre-established body, but to men chosen by the people for the special purpose, and at the particular conjuncture.
Regarding the decision to rely on such a body to make such an important decision, Hamilton wrote:
It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favourable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements that were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to so complicated an investigation.
It was peculiarly desirable, to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of government. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief.
If the NPVIC continues along its current trajectory, these precautions so "happily concerted" in our Constitution will be eliminated, along with the securities provided thereby to the mischief of democracy.
There is another historical issue at hand. The Electoral College is part of an impressive federal arrangement invented by our Founding Fathers. The government established by them in the Constitution created a federal government with few and defined powers, while leaving the bulk of governing power in the hands of the sovereign states and the people. (As described elegantly in the 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.")
Furthermore, the states themselves were to be represented in the new federal government through a balanced bicameral congress composed of one house representing the people (the House of Representatives, where members are chosen according to population) and one house representing the states (the Senate, whose membership is divided equally among the states regardless of size). This intricate system was the result of a compromise known to history as the Connecticut Compromise, wherein the feud between populous states and smaller states was settled by giving to each a means of being represented equally in the legislative branch.
The relationship between the balancing of state interests in Congress and the design of the Electoral College was succinctly and superbly described by John Ryder, a member of the Republican National Committee from the state of Tennessee. In an article published in the Washington Times entitled "Popular Presidential Vote Subverts Constitution," Ryder wrote:
The Electoral College mirrors this arrangement by giving each state electoral votes equal to its membership in the House plus its two Senators. Thus, California gets 55 electoral votes because of its large population, but no state, even Delaware, has fewer than three electoral votes. It reflects the Founders' compromise between large states and small states and between electing the president by Congress and electing the president directly by the people.
Bypassing the Electoral College through the proposed compact undermines that balance by effectually erasing states' boundaries along with those states' sovereignty.
If each state instead possessed a number of electoral votes equal only to the size of its delegation in the House, then California would have 53 electoral votes instead of 55 and Delaware would have one electoral vote instead of three. But the design conceived by the Founders skews representation in the Electoral College to the benefit of the smaller states, which like the larger states, are sovereign in their own spheres.
As the situation stands today, a successful candidate is required to build a coalition of electoral support from across the country. The frequent trips to Iowa, New Hampshire, and other less populous states witness this campaign reality. To be elected, a candidate cannot simply woo voters in urban areas while ignoring those citizens living between the two coastal megalopolises.
Should the National Popular Vote measure become the de facto law of the land, a candidate could simply spend time, money, and attention on the large cities in order to ensure garnering a plurality of votes on election day. As further explained by Ryder: "Under such an arrangement, presidential candidates would have no incentive to campaign anywhere except the major media markets in a few states. The country would, in essence, cede our presidential elections to the largest metropolitan areas, whose concerns are different from those of other areas of the country."
Then, there is the issue of voter fraud. As Election Day draws nearer, many are coming to realize that voter fraud is more than just a "myth." NPVIC would have the effect of rewarding voter fraud in large cities because every vote cast in such densely populated areas would be exponentially more valuable under the terms of the compact. As the situation stands today, however, fraudulently cast votes have an impact only on the outcome of the election in which it is illegally cast, leaving the elections in sister states wholly untainted. This would not be the case under NPV, as the popular vote would be the sine qua non of who is chosen to occupy the Oval Office.
Regardless of the dire warnings of those seemingly interested in setting aside the Constitution — National Journal, for example, declares: "The Possibility of a Popular, Electoral Vote Split is Very Real" — there are sound reasons to ignore these predictions of calamity and reject the movement toward a popularly elected president.
Our Constitution erects barriers around the states protecting them from usurpations on the part of federal authority and from the tyranny posed to them by coalitions of other states that would rob them of their sovereignty and effectual representation in the federal government. These barriers are under attack from the NPV and its advocates. Our nation is a republic, if we can keep it, and one way to avoid losing it is to reject the National Popular Vote initiatives when they are presented to us and to encourage our state legislators to do likewise.

Brad Outlaw's Homebuilt Model A Was Done His Way
Less than an hour after arriving in Gulfport, Mississippi, this Model A coupe caught my eye from across the parking lot. Highboy Model A coupes have long been one of my favorites and this particular hot rod struck a wicked profile. The 4-1/2-inch chopped top looked aggressive but avoids that crushed look that a more radical cut might produce. Semi-flat green paint was another eye-catcher, not quite primer, not quite paint, it has a built-in patina that gives the appearance of timeworn paint, yet the packaging was all there.
The twin velocity stacks rising above the grille shell make a real performance statement and that performance is backed by a 427ci Ford FE motor topped with a very rare Mickey Thompson cross-ram intake manifold that mounts a pair of Holley 600-cfm carbs. Inside the motor you'll find a COMP cam and roller rockers moving the valves in mildly reworked heads. Flattop pistons push the exhaust through the headers and collector-mounted mufflers.
Connected to the big Ford motor is a TREMEC five-speed that spins those pie-crust cheater slicks through a 9-inch Ford rear. While checking out the driveline it became obvious something was missing, namely the radiator. An electric water pump is in service and coolant lines run along the inner framerails to a trunk-mounted radiator. Suddenly the heavily vented decklid made perfect sense. The radiator was relocated to the trunk where an electric fan forces cool air through the radiator and out of the decklid louvers.
This entire effort was to produce the proper look of an early drag car and the results are spot on. The empty grille shell now carries a Moon tank mounted with owner-built brackets. The upper half of the grille is filled with well-perforated and riveted aluminum.
All this rolls on a Model A chassis with buggy springs front and rear. The front axle is a drilled Super Bell unit located with Pete & Jake's hairpins, while out back the rearend is located with P&J ladder bars. It's a simple hot rod approach that works fine. The combination disc and drum brakes stop the coupe with ease and rolling stock consists of Rocket Wheels up front and steelies out back.
Beyond chopping the top and punching the sunvisor full of holes, the Model A body remains largely stock, including the roll-down rear window. All that changes once you open the door. A pair of Speedway Motors bomber seats are mounted to the bead-rolled steel floor with a set of owner-built brackets. Brad opted to dress up the seats by fabricating side panels and riveting them to the seats. When it came time to do the "upholstery" Brad tackled that too, after a trip to the local Army-Navy surplus store. The bottom seat cushion is covered in OD canvas sourced from an Army tent, while the back pads are covered by a pair of B-12 parachute packs, chosen because of the snap straps. All the aluminum panels are owner built and they envelop the entire cockpit. Speed holes and rivets give the interior some serious attitude, while bead rolling stiffens the panels and adds to the race car look. Gauges consist of a set of modern winged S&W gauges with a vintage Super Sun Tach mounted to the steering column. Add a rollbar and the cabin is complete.
After talking with owner-builder Brad Outlaw it was apparent that this car was 100 percent old school, built at home, help from some friends, using the parts that were available and substituting creativity and hard work for liquid dollars. The results are remarkable, a hot rod coupe that has blended military aircraft and vintage hot rod into a perfect flavor. The craftsmanship is impressive and only exceeded by Brad's enthusiasm for hot rodding.
COMP Performance Group Tech Tips
Presented by COMP Cams
Installing Rocker Arms? Add Pushrods.
It is always a good idea to replace your pushrods when you install new rocker arms. Pushrods and rockers wear together, much like a cam and lifters. Even though the pushrods may not show any wear, installing new rockers on old pushrods can result in premature failure. Use a small amount of COMP Cams Valve Train Assembly Spray (PN 106) on the tip of each pushrod at the rocker arm to prevent wear on initial startup.
Using the Proper Intake Manifold is EZ
Any intake manifold you have used with a four-barrel carburetor will work with both the EZ-EFI and EZ-EFI 2.0 Self Tuning Fuel Injection Systems. They have been tested with both dual- and single-plane intakes. However, as with carburetors, using adapter plates to adapt a two-barrel to a four-barrel is not recommended due to poor air and fuel distribution.
Synchronize Your Carbs
Weber IDF Carburetors are commonly used in pairs, making synchronization important. Be sure to bring the high-flowing carb down to the low-flow carb, and then bring them both up to proper idle speed.

IRS to-do list: Same-sex benefits
The IRS — already stretched thin managing scandals, a complicated tax code and the implementation of the health care law — has a new task: providing federal tax benefits to gay couples.
At its heart, the case to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act centered on tax policy. Edith Windsor, the plaintiff in the case, was slapped with a $363,000 tax bill after the death of her wife. She wouldn't have faced the tax if the federal government had recognized her marriage, which took place in Canada. The couple lived in New York, a state that recognized Windsor's union when her wife died in 2009.
Story Continued Below
But Wednesday's ruling, heralded as a landmark decision by gay and lesbian activists, creates a host of challenges for the IRS and will likely fuel uncertainty about how tax benefits will be applied.
( PHOTOS: 21 landmark SCOTUS rulings)
"It is almost worse, administratively, in some ways," said Anthony Infanti, a professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. "You still have a whole class of people who are unmarried who have the same uncertainty as they did before the court ruled."
For starters, the agency will essentially have to create two tax regimes.
One system, for couples in states where same-sex marriage is recognized, will allow gays and lesbians to file their tax returns jointly, exclude them from paying taxes on their spouse's estate and clear them to contribute together to health savings and flexible spending accounts. The other system, for couples in states that don't recognize same-sex marriage, wouldn't allow such benefits.
( Also on POLITICO: SCOTUS gay marriage rulings reshape landscape)
The tax situation is especially tricky for same-sex couples who move around.
A couple who marries in a state or country where same-sex unions are legal but lives in a state where such marriages aren't recognized wouldn't receive federal tax benefits.
And a couple who moved from a state like Maryland, where same-sex marriage is legal, to a state such as Virginia, where the constitution bans recognition of such unions, would see their tax benefits curbed or eliminated entirely.
By sidestepping the issue of whether same-sex marriage should be recognized nationally in its Proposition 8 decision, the Supreme Court is creating an even murkier tax system than the one in place today, Infanti said.
( Also on POLITICO: Gay marriage decision may shrink deficit)
"These two decisions together will now open up a Pandora's box about who will be considered married for federal purposes and how the disconnect between federal recognition of same-sex marriage and state-level non-recognition of same-sex marriage will play out," Infanti said.
The rulings also create a logistical nightmare for the seven states that recognize civil unions or other legal partnerships that are not already defined as marriage. Couples in states like Illinois will still have access to the state benefits of their legal partnership, but the court has not made clear if their partnerships are legal in the eyes of the federal government.
"The issue of tax treatment for folks in civil unions, it is not addressed or resolved by this decision at all," said John Mahoney, an attorney at the law firm Tully Rinckey. "The IRS usually makes decisions on the tax treatment at the federal level, but it isn't clear if a civil union is the same thing as a marriage."

Wes Welker is hoping to receive an official contract offer from the New England Patriots before free agency starts Tuesday. If it happens, it will be the first offer the Patriots have sent Welker during months of negotiations.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported that the Patriots haven't extended an official offer to Welker during all of their conversations, according to a source. That's a surprise, but perhaps it shouldn't be.
Teams are wary of getting official offers shopped around at this time of year. It's hard to believe Welker's agents don't know the rough ballpark of where negotiations stand, and whether or not the Patriots are willing to pay enough to keep Welker off the market.
Still, it's telling that there remains such unease between Welker and the Patriots so close to free agency. The Patriots sure sound confident in letting Welker shop his goods around the league. Either that or the Patriots are preparing to make that first offer in the next few hours.
UPDATE: Rapoport reported Tuesday that at this point, talks between the Patriots and Welker have broken down and no further talks are scheduled. Rapoport added that Welker is set to test free agency.

William Scagel, rest his soul, can be considered the father of modern custom knifemaking as many of his designs and techniques are still copied and used to this day. Scagel's style of using stacked leather and stag, paired with a drop point hunting blade became popular for it's quality, elegance, and high degree of function. Scagel Knives were always 100% handmade, as William preferred it, making original Scagel models extremely hard to come by. Today, a new company has begun remaking Scagel knives to the same exacting standards in Michigan and they come in two different fixed blade models, the Bowie and the Hunter. Whether you prefer stag or leather, a maneuverable 5-3/8″ blade or a larger 8″ size for more serious tasks, there's a Scagel configuration for you. Get one in your hand and you'll be able to tell the absolute quality of every William Scagel knife, available at www.knifecenter.com.

AquaBlok, Ltd., a manufacturer of composite particle materials and provider of a low-permeability thin cap sequestering technology, reported successful applications of a range of in-situ treatment materials at historic Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) sites during 2010.
Over the construction season, the company supplied a range of materials to remediate sediments at five MGP sites and one additional petroleum contaminated site. The installations are in Maine, New York, Indiana, and Massachusetts.
Materials included application of organoclay-based in-situ treatment materials and the implementation of a second full-scale horizontal funnel-and-gate type approach.
One significant challenge at these sites involves implementing an approach to minimize the appearance of sheens on the water from residual seepage from the shoreline "wedge." The wedge is the triangular area of the site that slopes from the shoreline (generally the previously remediated up-land area) down to the sediment (below water level). At a site in upstate New York, the remediation team implemented a horizontal funnel and gate configuration of a combined in-situ treatment and capping approach. The key advantage is that this approach removes both residual contamination and reduces the potential for sheens that can be caused by isolated seep zones.
AquaBlok, Ltd. has a long history in the environmental industry and a range of products used in sediment remediation technologies. The company uses its delivery system in a range of other products including, pond and industrial impoundment sealing, as seep collars on piping, to construct cut-off walls in porous soil conditions, and flood control applications.

A debris disk is a circumstellar disk of dust created by the collisions of planets and/or minor bodies such as asteroids. Because the emission and scattered light properties of dust are more easily observable than the planets themselves, these debris disks provide an indirect means to study planets and planet formation. Indeed, the dynamics of a planet interacting with the dust in a debris disk may sculpt it into elegant forms that reveal the planet, such as has been suggested for disk surrounding Vega.
Some of these debris disk systems are close enough that we can study them spatially and in great detail; these are the nearby resolved debris disks. Among them are the Fabulous Four, Vega, Fomalhaut, Beta Pictoris and Epsilon Eridani which were all detected by IRAS. Other more recently discovered sources include HR4796A, AU Mic, HD 141569 and HD107146. Since their discoveries, Spitzer, HST, Keck, Gemini and VLT data are providing a wealth of new data on these nearby resolved debris disks.
Workshop Topics
The goal of our workshop is to discuss these data as a whole set and to compare the data with models of their dynamics, radiative transfer and chemical/dust processed evolution. Topics we plan to address in this forum are:
- The complete inventory of currently known nearby, resolved debris disk systems
- The structure of these disks and their implied dynamical history
- The composition of the dust and its associated radiative transfer
- The role of the central star in shaping debris disks
- Evidence for the presence of planets in these systems
- The nature and origin of these systems: left over debris or failed planetary systems?

Gen. Foster and Union troops spent the night of Dec. 14, 1862, in Kinston. On the morning of Dec. 15, Foster paroled 400 Confederates he captured over the previous couple of days.
Gen. Foster and Union troops spent the night of Dec. 14, 1862, in Kinston. On the morning of Dec. 15, Foster paroled 400 Confederates he captured over the previous couple of days. He re-crossed the partially-burned Jones Bridge and successfully burned it to prevent a Confederate rear attack.
Kinston and Lenoir County had experienced war. Its economic and psychological impact, as well as the social effects, would be felt for many years to come.
Foster proceeded west along the River Road (current-day N.C. 55) toward Whitehall (now Seven Springs) and Goldsboro. His troops advanced to within 4 miles of Whitehall before stopping for the night. Meanwhile, Confederate troops under the command of Gen. Beverly H. Robertson, crossed the river and burned the bridge at Whitehall to help protect the troops and the gunboat being built on the north side.
On Dec. 16, Foster posted his infantry along the riverbank and several batteries of artillery on the hill overlooking Whitehall. His troops suffered rather heavy casualties due to their exposure and from their own artillery when the projectiles fell short of their intended targets. A large number of sawlogs along the riverbank helped protect the Confederates, as well as the gunboat. The partially-built gunboat received little damage.
On the morning of Dec. 17, the Union troops reached the railroad at Goldsboro. The bridge was guarded by Confederate troops under the command of Gen. Thomas L. Clingman. By this time, Gen. Evan�s troops had reached Goldsboro along the north side of the river and arrived at the bridge to serve as reinforcements.
Foster was successful in having the bridge torched. Satisfied that the bridge would be completely burned, he ordered a countermarch to New Bern. He later reported to his superiors that his expedition was �a perfect success.�
Some historians speculate that Foster�s intentions might have been to continue on to Wilmington. However, a number of realities worked against him.
For example, he met much more resistance than he anticipated; while in Kinston, he learned by telegraph that Gen. Burnside had lost the battle at Fredericksburg, Va., which no doubt affected his morale. His supply of ammunition was fast being depleted and Confederate forces were returning by rail after their success in Virginia.
He also knew that New Bern would be vulnerable to a Confederate attack, plus he could be cut off inland with limited escape options.
Foster and the Union troops returned to New Bern by Dec. 21, 1862. His inland expedition resulted in 90 Union soldiers killed, 478 wounded and over 400 captured.
On the Confederate side of the ledger in Kinston, 71 were killed, 268 wounded and more than 400 captured
Typically, many of the seriously wounded died within a few days after a battle.
No lasting results were accomplished by Foster�s expedition; Kinston was vacated without major damage, the gunboat at Whitehall survived and the railroad bridge at Goldsboro was repaired in about 10 days. Supplies continued to flow along the Wilmington-Weldon railroad to support the Confederate forces in Virginia.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Twitter on Thursday said it has begun using a technology to make it harder for impostors to send Twitter members forged emails purportedly from the social microblogging site.
The new system, called DMARC, for "Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance," is aimed at making it "extremely unlikely that most of our users will see any email pretending to be from a Twitter.com address," Twitter said in a company blog post.
"While this protocol is young, it has already gained significant traction in the email community with all four major email providers – AOL US:AOL , Gmail GOOG, +0.27% , Hotmail/Outlook MSFT, +0.82% and Yahoo Mail US:YHOO – already on board, rejecting forged emails," Twitter said.
The announcement follows the high-profile hacking of the Twitter pages of Burger King and Jeep, and admissions by Facebook Inc. FB, +0.03% and Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.94% that their networks got hacked. See: Facebook, Twitter, Apple in hacker sights.
In the wake of the Twitter page hacks, the company on Tuesday posted a "friendly reminder" to users regarding password security.
"Watch out for suspicious links, and always make sure you're on Twitter.com before you enter your login information," a company blog post said. "Be cautious when clicking on links in Direct Messages."

So, like most others, my life has been taken over by Pokemon Go, an altered reality game where you catch cute as hell pokemon and run around like a crazy person. Altered Reality Games are defined as " an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and uses transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions." What this means is, it's interactive and fully user-based. In this case, it involves walking and jogging around town to different landmarks, collecting items from those landmarks, and catching cute pokemon that spawn through out town.
Now, what does this have to do with Writing? Well, it explains a lot about fandom and how interacting with it works. We've seen a lot of examples of fandom interactions between those of us who create, and those who consume. Often times, those that interact with their fans generally make more sales, and also have more material with which to work. After all, what better engine of creation than several hundred rabid fans all coming up with theories like breathing?
In fact, some artists interact with their fandoms solely for this reason. Others, however, have fun with it, and generally just interact with their fans for entertainment. Then there are those who fuck it up royally while interacting, and somehow get accused of being predatory towards their fanbase (here's looking at you, John Greene).
One of my favorite examples of an author who interacts with their fanbase is Andrew Hussie, creator of modern day Illiad Homestuck and Problem Sleuth. This is a man whose work has garnered him a fanbase capable of pulling together 1.2 million dollars in TWO. WEEKS. I saw the kickstarter (and donated to it myself) go from 0 dollars to $500,000 in 24 hours, all in anticipation of a videogame.
How did he do it? In-jokes. Good writing. MASSIVE character base. He opened his twitter and several other places for questions to his fanbase. He allowed them to interact with him, and they did. It was massive. In fact, there's an entire in-joke within the fandom (Fat Vriska, for anyone who knows it) that was started when someone on Formspring asked him about the weight of one of his characters. Eventually, he was asked about Vriska. Which concluded in this glorious manner:
In one of the most glorious fuck-you's I've ever seen, he declared this, and the fandom ran with it.
For more of these absolutely hilarious happenings, you can, of course go to Knowyourmeme.com, and read up on all of them. Or, you can attempt to track them all down. That could be a fun scavenger hunt!
Speaking of scavenger hunts, have you heard of CipherHunt? Well, the fandom of Gravity Falls has. You see, Gravity Falls is a disney show that made it's fandom massive through the use of ciphers, mysteries and the sorts of things that make those particular fans go crazy. That is, an omniscient Dorito demon who makes bad deals. CipherHunt is creator Alex Hirsch's way of making his fans happy one last time. Even though the series has ended, he's provided them a series of clues, and told them, go on, get hunting.
At the end of each clue is a souvenir/next clue. Now, this isn't possible for ALL authors, obviously, especially if you don't have DISNEY backing you. But the fact that he allows it, even though his series is over, shows you what kind of person ends up with a fandom that large. Playful people who love what they're doing.
Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe, is another playful person who loves what she's doing, and in so doing, interacts with her fandom. But she does it quite a bit less than the others on this list. Honestly, she just keeps an eye on what her fandom creates and says, and then sometimes makes nods to it in her show. This is the bare minimum, but because of the way her show works, it does wonders.
So, you might be asking, how can I become this sort of creator? What do I need to do to woo my fandom beast? Well, first of all, find the fans. If you have work out already, look at who bought it, and who likes it. Encourage these people to talk to you. Encourage them to create, whether fanfiction, fanart, or fanmusic. Encourage creation, and it'll create itself around you.
Then, remember, no matter what you do, it's not going to be perfect. Laugh about your mistakes with those who point them out. Or, like Hussie does, make them into injokes. Have a sense of humour, and openly enjoy the community growing around your works. Even if it's only a few people.
And finally, be accessible. Don't hide yourself away, because while that may work for people like Steven King, or George R.R. Martin, when you're writing for the sort of demographic that likes Anime and Manga, you really can't afford to.
Who knows, if you succeed, you just might end up like Ishida-sensei, the creator of Tokyo Ghoul, who got to share his joy at his new Pokemon with the fans of his work.

A leaked internal memo from US retailer Best Buy suggests
that a major Apple installation is due to be set up in-store on 21 October –
pointing at a probable date for the launch of the iPhone 5.
With the iPhone 4 still selling like hotcakes, it is no
surprise that Apple seems to be in no rush to launch its successor. 18 months on
from launch, the iPhone 4 is still the number two best-selling phone on the
A source inside Best Buy has leaked an internal memo to website
This is my next stating that an "Apple fixture installation" is set for Friday,
21 October next.
No press event has been announced by the Cupertino company yet hinting that a rumoured
September release date is a little wide of the mark.
The installation at the Best Buy store will require a
manager to be on-hand from 6am on the date in question, while normally the
manager isn't at the store until 7am. This is a similar set up to when the
iPhone 4 was launched according to the source.
In related iPhone 5 news, it was reported widely over
the weekend that a test version of the handset had been left at a restaurant in
San Francisco
by an Apple employee carrying out some off-site testing in late July.
While no official word on the matter has come from Apple
(surprise, surprise), it was reported that Apple investigators has tracked the
device to a house in San Fran and a some of them turned up at a house to retrieve it – which they failed to do.
Now we have gotten some confirmation from the San Francisco
Police Department, which has admitted to co-operating with Apple to locate a missing
iPhone prototype.
Here is their official statement:
After speaking with Apple representatives, we were given
information which helped us determine what occurred. It was discovered that
Apple employees called Mission Police station directly, wanting assistance in
tracking down a lost item. Apple had tracked the lost item to a house located
in the 500 block of Anderson
Street. Because the address was in the Ingleside
Police district Apple employees were referred to Officers in the Ingleside
district. Four SFPD Officers accompanied Apple employees to the Anderson street
home. The two Apple employees met with the resident and then went into the
house to look for the lost item. The Apple employees did not find the lost item
and left the house. The Apple employees did not want to make an official report
of the lost item.
Reports are circulating the internet regarding the current
location of the prototype iPhone but so far nothing conclusive has been discovered.

Wanda Sykes Slams NBC's Ridiculous Black History Month Menu... On NBC
Perhaps you have heard about the funny NBC Black History Month menu? Fried chicken, collard greens, corn bread, etc. etc. What a convenient night for famous black comedienne Wanda Sykes to be on the The Jay Leno Show!
The Roots' ?uestlove revealed today via Twitter that the NBC cafeteria had made the rather unfortunate choice of serving stereotypical black people food in honor of Black History Month. The chef who set the menu—who is black—didn't understand why it caused a media uproar. Wanda Sykes took a different view.
"I'm scared to know what they were having for dessert," said Sykes. "I hope they at least took it off the rind." Jay Leno looked genuinely very uncomfortable! Good job, Wanda Sykes.

Currently, the finest umber comes from Cyprus.

Testing Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Gloss To Achieve Fuller Lips
My obsession with plumper fuller lips is real.
I place the blame on Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Kylie Jenner, and all of the Real Housewives on Bravo.
I was born with tiny, barely noticeable, pale, skinny lips. I have other good qualities, but I wouldn't count my lips as one of them. And since I have an extreme love of anything lip gloss or lipstick related, I'd die to have a nice pillowy pucker to paint on! (Okay, maybe 'die' is a strong word, but I'd do almost anything for fuller lips.)
Testing out Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme in pursuit of a fuller pout.
But since injectables at a plastic surgeons office are a huge and pricey commitment, I figured I'd start trying out one of the most popular and talked about lip plumping products on the market – The Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme, $28. Recently my mom got me this product as an early Mother's Day gift (thanks mom!) after hearing me bellyache about my barely there lips. I've read mostly glowing reviews on this stuff and told her I was wanting to try it. This stuff sounded like a miracle worker if you read about it online, so of course I couldn't open it fast enough to try it out.
Here is how I found that it tastes, feels, looks, and most importantly if it works!
Taste : Super tart, spicy and berry-like. Unlike most plumpers, there is no cinnamon taste to it.
How it feels : A thin wash of gloss at first, then after less than a minute, the fai...
