Another key aspect of modernism is the "type follows perform" perfect, which is basically the contribution of Mies van der Rohe and his Bauhaus followers, whom you can thank for the office cubicle. The movement also produced giants in the pantheon of structure, including Frank Lloyd Wright in America, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in Germany, and Le Corbusier in Switzerland. The modernist movement represented a rebellion towards the traditions of classic structure. Because this movement spanned nearly sixty years, it embraces different architectural types together with Arts & Crafts, ranch, and Art Deco. However trendy architecture refers back to the design which was inspired by the historical modernist art motion, Decorating in order that in precise truth most examples of modern home plans are at the least fifty years old. The important thing elements which distinguish modern architecture are open residing areas, which is largely Frank Lloyd Wright's contribution. Another key aspect of the modernistic fashion is its clear geometric strains and lack of adornment, as a substitute of the embellished columns and arches characteristic of the classical style. Bottom line, perhaps the important thing thing to keep in mind concerning a basement interior design undertaking is the consideration of value versus worth and necessity.
Consideration ought to even be given relating to for what function the redecorated basement will likely be used. Therefore, most certainly in your common basement interior design project you'll haven't any consideration of window coverings. Basement interior design must, therefore, require cautious consideration as to how enough lighting will probably be supplied in lieu of natural mild. The thought of construct out building could also be included in most basement interior design projects. This may embrace redesigning the entrance to the loft, however most frequently it involves paneling walls and closing in pipes and wiring. Mies' view was that houses and other buildings should be large and wide-open in an effort to accommodate various features, and then be subdivided as wanted with movable screens and partitions. If the basement is of an excellent measurement, or if the project contains extra than just adding further dwelling area, walls and doors mat be added to your basement interior design project. On this case, your basement interior design undertaking might change into dearer than an average household could budget for.
In case your shopper is considering a basement interior design project so as to add a bedroom, play room or research, the design parameters are fairly easily determined. In such conditions, your interior design expertise may be severely tested, as some distinctive construction may be required. This creative shopper may be launching right into a basement interior design challenge to create a paint or sculpture studio, a observe dance ground or maybe even a recording studio. However, in case your client is an artist, the requirement could also be fairly completely different. As you are extending an present construction, double deck bedroom it is rather doubtless that the shopper has a limited quantity of funds out there for his or her basement Interior Design interior design undertaking. Unless this client is pretty rich, or maybe an artist with a selected aim in thoughts, wisdom dictates that you just consider their funds as you present your recommendations. Open house in the house can interfere with folks's want for privacy. Indeed, in trendy luxury home plans it is possible to see dirty dishes from the residing room, so there is nowhere to hide from having to keep the kitchen spotless always.
Thus, modernist residence plans are characterized by open flooring plans which combine spaces for entertaining, stress-free, and dining. With an open ground plan, it isn't possible to shove litter right into a nook and shut a door on it. Mies believed that the open space would create a feeling of neighborhood. Although the idea of open space in modern structure has visible attraction, most likely Wright by no means thought for a moment about the issue of preserving all that open space clear. It is simple to confuse the phrases modern structure and contemporary structure since the two words mean the identical factor in informal utilization. While fashionable architecture honors the idea of freely flowing space, its slavish devotion to pure operate tended to disregard human wants. Modern country houseplans function massive plate-glass home windows and out of doors patio areas to increase the dwelling house and to carry the sense of the outdoors inside. As an example, towering modern condos and condo complexes are an economical use of limited land house, however their lack of contact with nature and greenery and of frequent areas discourages human interplay and promotes isolation.

We will discuss here of mechanical power being converted to electrical power. First we will discuss about the controlling of mechanical power then how it is converted to electrical power.
Mechanical power in rotating machines
Mechanical power to a rotating machine is P.
P = ωT; ω = 2 π n. -ω is to be kept constant,ω = angular speed, rad/s and n=speed(which is should be kept constant)
This formula leaves us only one adjustable parameter to control the power of the rotating machine.
Which is T = torque.Torque is the power with which the piston(s) turns the crankshaft and so rotates the engine.
Thus P = ωT = ωFl = pAl 2 π n
F = pA , force is pressure multiplied by area
T = Fl , torque is force multiplied by the length of the arm (stroke/2)
p=Pressure, A=Area, l=length of the stroke
Control the power in a rotary machine
So from above formula, we conclude the controlling factors of the power in a rotating machine- which are p=Pressure; A=area of combustion chamber, l=length of piston arm , n= rpm -speed of rotation.
Large engine or turbine (Slow and large)
Slow rpm & big piston surface area. Slow and long stroke power from torque.
Medium engine or turbine-
Medium rpm & piston surface area . Medium stroke power from torque and medium rpm.
Fast engine or turbine-
Very high rpm & small piston surface area . Short stroke power from high rpm.
Generated electrical power in rotating machines
Electrical power is combination of two “ingredients” ; P = Active Power, kW, power which does the actual work,rotating, heating, lightning etc. and Q = Reactive Power, kvar, power which is needed for the
excitation of different coils, motors, transformers etc.
Thus the active power (P) is generated by the prime mover which leads us to the conclusion that it has to be controlled by the prime mover and Reactive power (Q) is really generated by the generator/ alternator in accordance of load and excitation.
To increase active power we will have to increase the power of prime mover – adding fuel, gas, more air, more steam etc. And to increase the reactive power we will have increase the flux strength of alternator rotor flux- this can be done by increasing excitation current to rotor circuit.


The Role of “PC” in our Evolution as a Group
By Mariamne Paulus
I read an article the other day about how “PC” (political correctness) is stifling free speech. I have sometimes felt that, too, but my stronger sense is that PC is helping to awaken us as a group.
When I was a kid, we used to love jokes that made fun of minority groups, including those we called “sick jokes” which made fun of various handicaps people suffer. I could count the “groups” we made fun of: “Pollacks,” “Hill-billies,” “Dumb Blondes,” “Dirty Mexicans.” I’m sure there were many more.
When I look back on the humor, I see that it was completely impersonal. That is, I never actually knew someone who belonged to the group we were laughing at or about (except that I was a blonde; however, since I never felt “dumb” I didn’t fit the category.) But I recognize that there was a feeling of superiority that went with the humor. There was a big separation between “them” and “us.”
I recognize that most of the time we repeated things we had heard others say without any direct experience that would have resulted in the stereotype. I remember the day when OSO and I were at my mother’s. She was sharing about an experience she had had. She said, “They were Jewing me down.” She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly aware of Arleen, a Jew, sitting at her table. She said, “I never heard that expression before.” She meant she had never been aware where the expression came from or to whom it referred. The irony was that Arleen had never heard the expression either, even though she had grown up with the custom of bargaining, which she could immediately see could be seen as “Jewing” someone down.
I suspect that most of us are unaware of where the jokes or expressions we use so freely come from. They are no doubt based on direct experience, but by the time they become common-place, their original meaning is lost.
We used to do a practice session called “The Joy of Roots and Differences.” One of the exercises was to take an expression commonly used to describe the group to which you belong and claim the nugget of truth in it. I remember one woman saying that she was raised in an Irish family and that the stereotype of drunk Irishmen was true to her experience. She shared that her father was a drunk.
Others shared similar “nuggets of truth” in stereotypes they had heard about their groups. I owned the temptation to play “dumb” in order to win the attention of boys in my high school years. I happened to be blonde and intelligent, but I was often put down for “always getting A’s.” Since I wanted to belong and to be attractive to boys, I was tempted to “play dumb,” and thus fit the stereotype of the dumb blonde. I saw other girls in my class do the same.
Changes in the Culture
I mention all of this by way of sharing my reflections on the issue of “PC” and its role in our culture. It is true that we can’t tell any of those jokes anymore that made fun of other groups. Nor can we casually make reference to other groups by using labels now considered derogatory or offensive. And this does stifle, not so much “free” speech as “unconscious” speech. It serves, I believe, a higher purpose. It is waking us up, making us conscious that there are live human beings to whom those terms or jokes refer. To be awakened like that is startling, if not embarrassing. But it is necessary if we are to live in a culture that respects all people equally.
Not only that, but “PC” forces us to find kinder and more descriptive ways of saying what we want to say. I suspect that a part of Donald Trump’s appeal is that he says whatever comes to mind without monitoring whether it will offend someone. People seem to find that relaxing, comforting. It is the way they would like to continue to speak, not having to take others into consideration or to be conscious before speaking.
But as a group we are awakening to the fact that that is not worthy of us in the diverse culture of which we are a part. We need to find ways to speak of one another that are respectful. We need to stay awake to the fact that we are speaking of real human beings, not stereotyped representatives of groups.
Evolution of Group Consciousness
It is in this light that I feel the attention to Politically Correct speech is really an expression of the evolution of consciousness. We are awakening to our use of language and its effect on others. This can only be good for us as a group. It calls us to listen to ourselves when we speak, to consider how the words we use can affect the ones to which they refer, and to choose kindness and respect over ridicule.
I believe the attention to “PC” speech indicates that as a cultural group we are evolving into a finer state of consciousness, and I am grateful for it.

The sister of West Coast Eagles star Rhett Bazzo made a show-stopping appearance at Monday night’s 2023 Sandover Medal.
Kameron Bazzo stunned in a yellow dress by Australian designer Natalie Rolt as she posed on the red carpet.
The beauty showed off her figure in the glamorous backless sequinned gown, which she paired with white heels and a matching coloured bag.
Kameron attended as the partner of East Perth player Angus Schumacher.
The Sandover Medal is awarded to the best-and-fairest player in the Western Australian Football League.
Kameron’s bright appearance on the red carpet came after her mother Kylie was killed in a boating accident in Mandurah, south of Perth, in January.
The dress also featured a plunging neckline similar to the iconic red dress worn by AFL WAG Rebecca Judd at her first red big carpet event 19 years ago.
Rebecca burst onto the scene when she wore a red Tarvydas dress with a plunging neckline to the 2004 Brownlow Medal.
She’d been dating Chris Judd for a few years at the time, but the couple had yet to marry.
Chris told The Herald Sun last year, the 2004 Brownlow was the night Bec became ‘public property’ and their lives changed forever.
‘It did feel like a before and after event. Some wonderful opportunities opened up from it. Life was just very different,’ said Chris, who was just 21 when he won the prestigious Brownlow Medal.
‘Things around privacy, having a partner who was seemingly public property as well, there were a lot of things to get used to and my memories are of a really special night, but an exclamation point between life before that and life after that as well.’
The Judds tied the knot in 2010, and he retired from football five years later.
They have since welcomed four children: son Oscar, 12, daughter Billie, nine, and seven-year-old twins Tom and Darcy.
Rebecca and Chris live in a $7.3million mansion in Brighton, Melbourne.
They have made many renovations to their Spanish Colonial home to make it suitable for their needs.

Tattoo Artist Dario Grasso: Art Exhibition
Dario Grasso (b.1988 in Ludwigsburg, Germany) grew up in Agrigento, Italy. From a young age, his mother encouraged him to explore his passions, helping him achieve his first collaborative exhibition at the age of 14. Later, he studied at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, where he developed an interest in art history– especially Mannerism, ancient Greek art, and European Modernism. Grasso is known for his use of unconventional mediums and re-imaginings of established forms from across art history. He has worked in England since 2017 as a multimedia artist, embracing media from sculpture to painting to tattoos.
View an exhibition of Dario’s work this September 28-29-30th at The London Tattoo Convention. Advance tickets are now on sale.

My wife and I are buying
a 1970 Tartan 34c. This is our first "real" boat (we've had some sailing dinghies), and this is also my first post on the formum. We had the marine survey
done today and the boat checked out in great shape. Whoever had her before us fit her out for some serious sailing, and evidently did a fantastic job on every installation
. My only concern was the head
, which is a Wilcox model, possibly original. The current
owner has been living aboard
for some time, and probably has not used the head
in 3 years. When I operated the lever to run flushing water
into the bowl, all kinds of weird green gunk came out. Would that just be algae or some other kind of build up in the raw seawater line that would go away if I pumped long enough? The whole set up just seemed kind of delicate compared to everything else on board and I don't know how to feel about that. My concern is that if anything goes wrong with the current
head, not only will it be disgusting, but it will be a flooding hazard.
We live in Hawaii
, so in time we will be cruising this boat in bluewater to distant paradises. However, for the next couple of years, we will probably be cruising around Oahu
and to neighbor islands. It seems to me that it might be a good idea to just have the head and holding tank
removed, to seal off the associated thru-hulls, and to install a good portapotti. When the day comes to start making longer passages, I could put a new head and holding tank
I don't have the slightest idea where to start with removing the current system and how big an undertaking this would actually be. Do I have to haul out
the boat to do this, or can it be done in the water
? Is this a DIY project
I could do without buying
a haz-mat suit? Would I potentially screw up something that works nicely?
Any advice or war story would be much appreciated.

Officer O’Whisker is concerned about the growing number of kittens joining a feline gang that calls itself ‘The Fluffballs.’ He warns people to watch for signs of your kitten doing just this, a common practice among gangster wannabe kittens. “Next thing you know, they’ll jump on humans from the bushes and make them drop their groceries,” Officer O’Whisker warns.

Having a cat in the house is a wonderful, rewarding experience. Having a velvety, warm creature cuddle with you everyday is heartwarming. Watching them play and pounce, and seeing the content look of love in their eyes. However, getting a cat for the first time isn’t something that should be done on the spur of the moment. You might wonder what to think about before getting a cat? How do I prepare for a cat?
Here are twelve things you should know before getting a cat.
Where to find your cat A very important thing to consider before getting a cat! Cats bought in pets stores may suffer from genetic disease because of inbreeding, especially Persians, who often suffer from polycystic kidney disease and other diseases. Getting a cat from a reputable cats breeder is safer.
If you consider adopting a kitten, a feral cat taken off the streets might be healthier than a shelter cat, because in large, crowded shelters, cat can infect one another.
Does the cat look healthy? A sick cat has no appetite, doesn’t want to play, and shows no interest in things. Watch for these signs of illness. Especially kittens, who are usually more playful than older cats, and sometimes even hyper. If a kitten is apathetic, it’s suspicious.
If you see a motherless kitten in a shelter, ask the worker if the kitten was abandoned or orphaned. This is a very important question because orphan kittens have a better chance at survival than kitten who were abandoned, because when mother cats abandon their kittens, they usually do it because the kitten is sick, and the mother has given up on it.
A vet I only take my cats to the best vet in town. I’d stopped people walking their dogs in the street and asked their opinions, until I found the most recommended one. There’s also the internet, of course. You need to familiarize yourself with directions to the vet and working hours.
What to buy before getting a cat
A cage is something essential to have before getting a cat because that’s the only way to take your cat home, and for vet’s visits. Cats are pretty good at escaping. I’d once put my cat in a cats’ carriage and lashed his collar to it for extra security. He was out of it within less than five minutes, before I’d left the house, fortunately. I’d taken several sick and wounded feral cats to the vet and had once had a cat get out of a locked cage.
Get a good, solid cage. Lock its door and try to open it, see if it’s loose. Cover it with a towel or blanket, making sure the cat has enough air to breath. Darkness soothes cats, which makes them less likely to try to escape. Pick up the cage from underneath instead of holding it by the handle.
Age That’s another key thing to consider if you’re thinking about getting your first cat. You may not want to get an old cat, because old cats usually need more vet’s visits, and they’ll die and break your heart. If you want to keep your furry friend with you for a long time, get a young cat or a kitten.
Before taking a kitten home, take into consideration that kittens tend to be hyper. You might come home from work to find your house looking like it’d been through a tornado. Also, kittens are needy and may not leave you alone. They also tend to climb on people, digging their nails through your clothes and into your skin, which might hurt. They might scratch and bite a lot, too.
I never take a kitten from the mother unless mother cat rejects it because of its’ age, but that’s me.
Jealousy Ask the breeder if the cat is jealous. This is important if you have other pets. The cat might act aggressively toward other pets if jealous. Some cats are more jealous than others.
Temper A necessary thing to consider before getting your cat. A bad-tempered cat is a difficult patient. You may get attacked when trying to put them in a cage to take to the vet, or when you try to force a pill down your cat’s throat. If you want to get a cat off the streets, watch them and see their personality for yourself before you decide which of the feral cats will be the lucky one. Is the cat quick to hiss? Does it fight with other cats?
Tip: A nervous cat is usually a bad patient. A trusting cat is usually less aggressive and more cooperative. But then a trusting cat can be taken or hurt by strangers if you plan on letting your cat outside.
If you have another pet If your first cat has been in your house awhile, it will become more territorial. If you want two cats, get the second one a short time after, or at the same time you get your first cat in order to avoid territorial dispute. Also, when you bring a kitten into your house, the first cat will usually act protectively and even paternal toward the kitten. Two young kittens are also more likely to get along better with each other and maybe even become best friends even after they’re grown. Getting two kittens, or one cat and a kitten, is less likely to create fights than getting two grown cats.
The cats’ personality must be taken into consideration. A very gentle cat wouldn’t be the best match for a cat who likes to play rough. Two cats that are very territorial can be a disaster. Perhaps two gentle cats will get along together, or two cats who like to rough and tumble playfully.
Don’t take your cat for a walk Most cats will run when you take them out for a walk. That depends on the cat’s personality, but walking your cat like a dog is not an option for the average cat. I’d tried taking mine out with a harness, and he got out of it in less than a minute and ran all around the yard.
Don’t let the cat out for two weeks That’s something everyone considering getting a cat must know. New cats don’t understand this is their new home. If you want to let your cat outside, keep them indoors for at least two weeks. Otherwise, they may get lost and never come back.
Fenced-in yard A fenced-in yard can be very helpful with a cat that is used to going outside. You can fenced you yard. And if you don’t have this option, maybe a cat that is used to outdoor life is better suitable for you.
A cat-proof fence must seven times higher than the cat’s size. They’re powerful jumpers. It has to be made of metal or rock, because cat can dig their nails into a plastic or wooden fence and climb. And it must be far from a roof, a tree, or anything else a cat can leap from.
Tracking device There are tracking devices that can be put in the cat’s collar. Just take the cat’s personality into consideration. Some cats get rid of their collars in less than twenty four hours. But then again, I have experience with tough feral cats.

Seeing the world through feline eyes. How do felines see humans? What do cats think of us? What does Mew The Fluff see when he looks at you, his human?
Kittens learn from their mothers which creatures to chase and treat as prey, which animals to ignore, and which to run away from. Humans are large, move around a lot, and make noise. Most cats see people as larger predators, but they’ll trust a human who loves them. It’s like being afraid of lions and tigers, but trusting one wildcat you know, who shows love. A friendly, tamed tiger.
How cats see humans vs dogs – Dogs see us as the alpha creature, the pack leader. Cats don’t live in packs. They’re solitary animals. They won’t take orders from a human, but they do show love and affection in their own way. They think they’re the alpha creatures, not us. This is how cats see us through their eyes. That’s the feline vision of the world.
Cats see humans as large creatures who do weird things like wear clothes that we keep changing all the time, click on the remote control, type in front of the computer. Imagine a huge creature who keeps touching their fingers on a long, black device, who sits in front of a flat panel on which images show up and disappear, and clicks their fingers on some machine, making clicking sounds. A creature who keep putting things over their bodies and changing them every day, although the cats can’t distinguish between the bright colors like yellow or red.
Cats see us disappearing everyday someplace mysterious, and then returning. Cats see humans doing chores around the house like cooking or doing laundry. Cats see us disappearing into the place where the good smells come from, the food smells. They see us taking those thing we like putting on our body and putting them in that big white machine. Then our felines see humans putting these soaked things in those big hot machines we don’t let them near. We do things our cats don’t understand the reasons for. Our world is so much different than theirs.
This automatic self-cleaning litter box will make your life easier: You won’t have to scoop or refill the box, or clean the floor around it. It also absorbs the smell, so you won’t have to open the window to get rid of the odor, or hold your nose every time you clean the litter box. Click to learn more.
How many cats is too many in a house or an apartment? How many cats should one person have? I’ll try answering these questions in this post.
People disagree on the question of how many cats are too many for a house. For some people, two cats are too many, and for some, twenty cats aren’t too many. I don’t think there’s any limit for how many cats one can have, but then I’m a crazy cats lady. I know a lady who feeds dozens of feral cats and have over ten living in her house, and she doesn’t think she has too many cats. But it all depends on the situation. For instance.
Space How many cats are too many for a small apartment? If you live in a tiny one-room apartment, with barely enough space for the bed and a dining table, you might want to limit the number of cats you have, especially if they can’t go outside. Cats needs space to run, climb, and leap without bumping head to head with other cats.
Money Cats’ food, vets visits for vaccination, worms, and emergencies, drops for fleas that you drip on the back of the cat’s neck, all cost money. And these are just the necessities. You might want to buy toys, beds, scratch posts, and cats’ trees and condos for your furry friends. Although several cats can share the same condo, tree, or toy, they can’t share the same bed, not at the same time, anyway.
Clingy cats Having a cat who likes sitting on your lap for hours and hours is equal to having several independent cats. I had a cat who wouldn’t leave my lap for the world. He practically lived in my lap, all day long. His name was Angel, and he died at the ripe old age of sixteen and a half, not bad for a feline. Having even two Angels would’ve been like having too many cats, in my opinion.
Jealousy My Angel was very possessive and jealous, pushing the other cat whenever she’d tried snuggling close to me. Sometimes I’d felt that the couple of felines I had were too many cats already, just because of the jealousy.
Getting along I now have three feral cats living in my house, and the forth one leaps in the window just to eat. They all hate one another because the first cat sees the others as invaders, and she lets them know it, which causes them to hate her. Also, each and every one of the cats thinks she’s the boss and the owner of the house, and they block each other way when one tries going in through the window. If your cat doesn’t get along with other cats, if he or she is territorial, your house might turn into a battlefield.
So, whether or not two or three felines are too many cats, or whether ten isn’t enough, it really depends on the situation and the personality of the cats involved. Don’t let others tell you how to live your life, or how many cats you’re allowed to have. Remember, we humans only go around once, so we should do what we want with the one time we’ve been given, not what others think we should do.
If you don’t have the space or resources to get a cat, show the world you love cats by installing a Cat-shaped lamp in your house. It may not be the real thing, but is practical in a rented apartment where the landlord doesn’t allow cats, for instance.
How many times have you heard the saying, ‘Cats have nine lives?’ Have you ever wondered why some people believe it, and where the saying came from? Do cats really have nine lives? Why do cats have nine lives? And what does it mean to have nine lives?
Cats seem to have nine lives because Stray cats climb on rooftops and trees and survive. They take nasty falls that would’ve killed a human – and other animals – for sure, and they land gracefully back on their feet. They avoid getting hit by cars at the last second. Where I live, they survive on the streets. There are hardly any mice to eat. The cats have wiped the streets clean of them. Haven’t seen a mouse in years.
So, do cats actually have nine lives? No. The myth that cats have nine lives originated from the cats’ resilience, the evolutionary traits that keep them alive in dangerous situations; their flexibility, the razor-blade sharp instincts and amazing speed that help them turn in the air to land on their paws, the nails that go through wood that they use to climb trees to avoid dogs and predators, their amazing sense of smell that helps them find food in garbage cans, and their sixth sense that helps them determine when someone is about to attack them.
Many years ago, my cat had run away for two and a half months and had come back so skinny, she didn’t weigh anything when I picked her up, and I could feel her spine and bones sticking out. She had survived. That cat had used eight of its nine lives.
If you have a similar story about a cat surviving against all odds, please share it in the comments. I love hearing stories about cats.
Cats love to climb, and they love being on higher ground that gives them a good viewpoint. To keep your feline entertained and fit, view this huge and complicated cat tree, with scratch posts, toy mouse, and resting places. Click to view customers reviews.
Why do cats lick and then bite? Why does my cat bite me when she’s being affectionate? These are questions many cats parents ask themselves, because it’s confusing. Licking is a way to show affection, while biting can be perceived as an act of aggression, a show of anger. Many cats’ owners are confused by this. Here are three reasons why do some cats lick and then bite their owners.
Why does my cat lick and then bite my arm? Well, cats love to play. It’s an evolutionary trait born out of necessity, the instinct to hunt. A more playful cat is more likely to lick you and then bite than a calm cat. My Amiga does it all the time, and she loves to play. Cats play with those they like and trust, so when Fluffy or Mew licks and then bites the hand that pets them, it’s a feline compliment of some sort, and a common feline behavior.
Cats lick each other in mutual grooming. Mother cat licks her kittens to keep them clean. Cats lick to show affection. They can bite to show affection, too. This lick bite behavior may sound strange, but kittens bite their mother constantly. Your cat may see you as his adoptive parent, because you feed them and show them love. They may treat you the way they treat mommy cat.
Needing alone time
Cats are loners. They’re solitary creatures. When you pet your cat, and your feline licks your hand and then suddenly bites you, that can mean they enjoy the petting, but it’s been too long. They’re tired of the attention. They want to be alone.
This special cats condo, made of stacks, satisfies your cat’s natural instinct to climb, hide, and play. It also gives them the alone time they need, a space of their own. A best seller. Click to see why.
The easiest way to give a cat a pill is to hide it in food. If the vet says it’s OK to crush the pill and put it in food, and most pills are, the trick is to wait until the cat is hungry, then put a layer of tuna on the bottom of the bowl, crush the pill to dust, and sprinkle it on top of the layer, then add another layer of tuna on top.
You can also crush cats candies, your cat’s favorite, and mix it with the crushed pill or medication.
If the cat won’t eat the crushed pill anyway, wrap your feline in a towel, put his head in the crook of your arm, and gently pry his mouth open with a small spoon where you’ll put the pill. You’ll have to title his head backward slightly, and then add water with the spoon. Stay with him a while to make sure he doesn’t throw up and spit.
If your cat turns into a tiger at the prospect of a pill, wait until he sleeps, then grab the back of his neck, raise his head gently, and put the spoon in his mouth. Not too deep. You don’t want to choke him.
If none of the methods above work, and you can’t force your feline to swallow the pill, take him to the vet and tell the doctor you can’t make Fluffy take his pill. They have shots today that break down in the body slowly. The vet gave one to my cat, and it worked it magic day by day. I didn’t have to give my cat a pill at all.
If you feline attacks you ferociously when you try to put him in a cage to go to the vet, get a cage that snaps when he gets inside. If he won’t get in to get the tuna, close the door to the room the cat is in, put the cage in the entrance of the room, and close the door so the cage is trapped between the door and the wall. Then chase the cat until he runs to the cage. This way, you can take your cat to the vet and have him take his pill.
There are mind-reader cats. I had one, and I have another one now. Giving a pill to a mind-reading cat is more difficult. Put the pill and the spoon in your pocket, the cup of water near you. Then force your mind away from your task and think about something else. Think about petting your cat. Imagine your hand sliding along his fur, the silky touch. Don’t think about the pill, and then grab the back of his neck real quick. Works for me. Sometimes.
To make sure your cat doesn’t get out, pick up the cage from underneath, not the handle. You can hold on to the handle as long as you slid one arm under the cage. Cover with a towel, but make sure there’s enough space for air. Darkness calms a cat and sometimes even makes him sleepy.
Discuss the cage with the vet before you put your cat inside. Make sure the cage is strong. Cats can surprise you. They’re a lot like Hoodini. Keep that in mind.
This tunnel bed is the perfect place for cats who like privacy. The darkness calms felines and make them sleepy. Cozy and soft surface in the middle, and several entrances and exists, the feline miniature version of the subway tunnel. To keep Fluffy purring, Click to view.

Cats love hiding and watching the outside scenery. They’re fascinated by grasshoppers and birds. The tiny sounds of insects walking on leaves and flapping of wings and the smells are magnified to their sensitive ears and nostrils. That’s when they’re in their natural habitat. Which is why cat houses and cats patio are the best gift you can give your furry friend.
Many years ago, I had a cat who suffered from depression because I didn’t let him go outside. I was afraid he’d get hit by a car. I wish I could’ve put a cat house or cat patio outside for him, but with my crazy neighbors who hate cats, that wouldn’t work. The cat kept trying desperately to get out, and finally I gave in. He’d been going in and out every day, and nothing happened. But there are dangers out there, and my cat Amiga was hit by a car once, although she’s all right now.
The best thing to do is to build a cat-proof fence around your yard. This way, you cat can roam the yard safely. However, if this isn’t an option, there are other ways to keep your feline friend protected but entertained, seeking adventure and enjoying the outdoors, living the feline dream. Ensuring his safety while enhancing his quality of life. A cat patio or cat house is the perfect solution.
You can put a cat house for your feline, if you have a fence around the yard, or want to put a yard around the cat house. It has that little porch where the cat can sit and watch, and an indoor. Click to learn more.
If you can’t put a fence in the yard and want an enclosed space, this lovely cat patio will keep your feline friend safe while enjoying nature. There’s a ladder, where your cat can climb and watch from a higher ground, which cats love because it makes them feel safe and gives them a good view. Click to learn more.

The flood fallout showed no sign of cresting Wednesday as repair shops, tow yards and auto dealerships continued to take in water-logged cars and trucks by the hundreds.
The city announced that by 1:30 p.m., some 550 abandoned vehicles had been reported to law enforcement or other authorities and removed from public streets over the preceding 2½-day period.
State Farm, the largest auto insurer in Texas, has received at least 5,360 weather-related auto claims, most of them in Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties, and a spokesman said flatly, "We do anticipate that these will continue to climb." The prognosis was similar from Farmer's and Allstate.
And at John Eagle Honda in the hard-hit northwest area, the woeful parade of flood-damaged vehicles being towed in for repair showed no signs of letting up. Workers filled the 58 service bays, unbolting car seats, pulling out soggy carpeting and cranking up fans and dehumidifiers to get the vehicles ready for the next round of repairs. They draped carpet linings on posts and kept doors, trunks and hoods open to help get the moisture out.
About 125 vehicles had arrived by midday, and John Eagle president and managing partner Mac DeLaup was predicting more on the way.
"The calls that we're getting from people - the wreckers have simply not been able to get to them yet," he said.
DeLaup said most of the vehicles would prove salvageable - provided workers get an early start.
"Being quick is the key," he said.
In addition, flooding damaged about 200 new and used vehicles at the dealership itself. DeLaup said most of the damage was minor.
Meanwhile, area wreckers are dealing with a post-flood surge in requests for service.
Wednesday was "a little bit slower" for the three-truck crew at Superior Wrecker, owner John Payette said. Superior had 28 calls by midafternoon, which Payette estimated was about half of what his drivers would do that day.
On Monday, "the phone rang off the hook all day long."
Tow truck drivers' calls were so frequent on Monday that they faced a choice: Work the most urgent calls and take down information for non-emergency service later, rather than fight floodwaters and risk equipment.
Coming days will be spent clearing that backlog and addressing new calls from people getting to their vehicles for the first time, said Ken Ulmer, president of Houston wrecker company SafeTow and a committee member with the Texas Towing & Storage Association.
One company on Tuesday towed between 500 and 600 cars, Ulmer said.
"In Houston, especially, to have a flood and have anything less than 300 or 400 cars involved is a mud puddle," he added.
"It really doesn't take a lot of water to damage cars."

When dog teeth begin to replace puppy teeth, the incisors come in first followed by the canines (fangs), then premolars. Teething can be frustrating for your puppy and for you. Puppies want to chew on everything to aid in the teething process. He may chew on your expensive leather shoes, your furniture, and even your children’s toys. All this chewing is just an attempt to relieve discomfort. Your dog may also drool excessively, be irritable, or show fluctuations in his appetite.
How many teeth does your dog have?
Your dog has six incisors on the upper jaw and six incisors on the lower jaw. These teeth are used to eat shreds of meat from bones as well as for grooming. Dogs groom themselves, as well as other dogs. Grooming other dogs is a greeting and bonding behavior. It also maintains pack order. Both dominant and submissive dogs groom each other. It is the order in which the grooming occurs that keeps pack order. The dominant dog can seek or give grooming whenever he wants to while the submissive dog can not. The submissive dog must wait until he is asked or approached for grooming. If you have more than one dog, you can learn a lot about your pet by paying attention to these grooming sessions.
What about those canines?
The canine teeth are for most people, the scary teeth. Movies and television makes us picture ferocious and wild creatures that hunt people down as prey. These media images can lead to a misunderstanding and fear of mild-mannered dogs that just happen to show their teeth a lot. These teeth are very useful to the dog. Canine dog teeth help to hold objects in the mouth and, when necessary, can help the dog defend himself. Wolves do use these fangs to grab and rip their prey, but wolves should not be mistaken for house pets.
The four premolars are behind the canines and line each side of the upper and lower jaw. Wolves use these teeth to shear and rip large chunks of flesh from prey animals. Dog teeth are no longer used to hunt for survival, but dogs can still eat in the same manner that wolves do. They can use the premolars to grab meat and rip it off the bone.
Dog teeth can also be beneficial for play. Dogs use the premolars to chew on rawhides, bones, and other toys. Dogs use the premolars by tilting their jaw to the side and biting a toy that is held between their paws.
The molars are the crushing teeth. Wolves use these teeth to crack caribou bones. Dog teeth function in the same way to eat the last bites of a large biscuit. The top jaw holds two molars on the left and two on the right. The bottom jaw holds three molars.
Dog teeth can have the same problems that people teeth can, including retained baby teeth, malocclusion, and tooth decay. Pet owners should periodically check their dog’s teeth to make sure that they remain healthy. Use biscuits as treat to let your dog exercise his jaws. Feed kibbled food as well. Provide chew bones and toys to promote a healthy mouth.
Baby dog teeth have roots, which should be absorbed as the adult teeth come in. However, this does not always happen. If the root does not absorb, or the absorption is slowed, the puppy tooth does not allow the dog tooth to come in. Malocclusion, or a bad bite, can be caused by this retention of puppy teeth. Malocclusion can cause many problems later on, including tooth decay. The puppy tooth needs to be removed if it does not fall out when the adult tooth comes in.
Why does that puppy chew on everything?
The way that the dog’s teeth fit together when his jaws are closed is the bite. Most breeds have a scissors bite where the upper incisors overlap and touch the lower incisors. This scissor bite prevents wear and tear on the incisors while keeping the teeth aligned.
If the incisors meet edge to edge, it is called a level bite. This bite is not ideal, but is acceptable.
Two very common bite problems are overshot and undershot jaws. In an overshot jaw, the upper jaw is longer than the lower jaw. This causes the dog’s teeth to overlap without touching. The permanent teeth from the lower jaw can damage the soft tissue in the roof of the mouth as the come in. This damage can be prevented by removing some of the teeth on the lower jaw.
In an undershot jaw, the bottom jaw is longer than the lower jaw, which is generally a problem. However, some breeds do have a naturally undershot jaw. These breeds include the Boxer, Boston Terrier, and Bulldog.
Breeders try to avoid breeding dogs with these jaw problems. Undershot and overshot jaws are not allowed in the show ring. Puppies that do have these jaw problems are not sold as show dogs, but as pets.
Dogs with these problems can experience eating problems. In the wild, a wolf or coyote would not be successful in killing and eating prey with an overshot or undershot jaw. Dogs do not have to hunt their prey, but the same problems with eating their food will exits. Dogs with an overshot or undershot jaw may also have trouble playing fetch or Frisbee.
Tooth decay in dogs
Although dog teeth can develop tooth decay, dogs teeth generally do not develop cavities. Many tooth problems stem from soft foods in the diet that leave food debris in gum pockets at the base of the teeth. That food debris can lead to infections. Infections cause the gums to soften and recede as well as cause bad breath. Either sign should trigger a trip to the veterinarian. This infection can lead to loss of teeth if left unchecked and untreated.
Tartar buildup on the dog’s teeth can also lead to loss of teeth and an increased risk of gum disease. Tartar builds up on teeth in hard water areas because it is a precipitate of calcium salts.
Tartar should be removed on a regular basis. The buildup of tartar increases with age. Advanced tartar buildup may require scraping of the dog’s teeth with dental instruments, which also requires sedation of the dog. Tarter can be removed from dog teeth at home with a rubbed on solution of three percent hydrogen peroxide or a weak one percent solution of hydrochloric acid.
There is quite a lot that pet owners can do to prevent or lessen the onset of gum decay. Feed kibbled foods and hard biscuits to help scrub the teeth. Don’t give soft foods, or keep them to a minimum because these can leave debris behind. Provide hard rubber toys or nylon toys for chewing. Brush your dog’s teeth twice a week with baking soda toothpaste or toothpaste formulated for dog teeth. Do not use toothpaste formulated for people.
Open wide Fido!
Dog teeth can be intimidating. You should be able to manage your dog’s use of his teeth with practice. Do not let your dog get the idea that his teeth can be used to control people.
Some early lessons in bite inhibition are necessary with your puppy. Puppy teeth serve many functions including examining the environment, greeting pack members, testing the hierarchy of the pack, and relieving the discomfort of teething. Puppies should be taught to open their mouths on command. This will allow you easier access to the dog’s mouth to evaluate tooth and gum health. If your puppy is more comfortable with you examining his mouth you can remove foreign objects, check for injuries or tumors, and administer medicine or vitamins.
You will need a good strategy to begin teaching bite inhibition to your puppy. Puppies do not like to have their mouths handled. Puppy teeth are sharp, so once you have your fingers in the puppy’s mouth, don’t pull away quickly or you may get scratched. If your puppy grabs a finger or other body part, don’t yell at him as the puppy will not understand this response. Instead, yelp in pain. Yell, “Owwwww.” This should be fairly easy to remember if you do get scratched by a puppy tooth, as it does hurt. Redirect the puppy by giving him something he is allowed to bite or chew on when he lets go of your finger.
Stop the bite!
What do you do if your puppy bites again? Pick the puppy up gently by the scruff of his neck and shake him gently. Do not shake him roughly!
A time-out in his crate may be necessary if your puppy still insists on biting your hand or ankle.
Children can encourage biting by waving their hands, toys, or food near the puppy’s face. Don’t let your puppy play with small children unsupervised, and don’t let your children encourage biting with teasing behaviors.
Although it is tempting, do not let your puppy have free reign over the food. This makes it much more difficult to house train the puppy. Free feeding also gives control to the puppy and the puppy’s mouth. You want to retain control of the puppy’s mouth, so do not free feed.
How to inspect your dog's teeth
You should check your puppy’s mouth several times a week. Each time you check his mouth, reward him with a treat. You can condition your puppy to this handling of his mouth. Begin by lifting up his lips to look at his teeth.
Place your right hand across your puppy’s muzzle and with your thumb, lift his lip just behind his canine tooth. Lightly grasp his lip while holding him still with your other hand. Push your thumb into the puppy’s mouth while giving the command, “open.” Lift up on the upper jaw. Give a treat when you puppy has successfully completed this check. Check your dog’s teeth two to three times a week.
Once you can handle your dog’s teeth without fear or frustration on both your part and the dog’s, it will be easy to administer any medication prescribed by your vet, including his monthly heart worm pill. You can also easily remove foreign objects from his mouth. You can also teach your dog to drop something he has in his mouth. Do this by removing the object from the dog’s mouth and then encourage the dog to give you the removed object.
Although dogs do not hunt in the wild for their food and kill their own meals, dog teeth still perform the same functions that they once did in the wild. Dog teeth can seize, tear, and crush. Dogs still have the instinct to use their teeth for chewing, social bonding, and if necessary, defense. As a pet owner, understanding canine behavior can help you teach your dog to use his teeth in a manner acceptable for living among humans, and not dogs. You can also keep better track of the health of your dog’s teeth. Although it is frustrating at times to teach your dog to use his teeth in an acceptable manner, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Especially when your dog remains healthy and keeps his mouth off of your couch!

Sarah Palin came out swinging after an episode of Fox's Family Guy referenced her family.
And now, the Family Guy voice actress is firing back.
Palin recently responded on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor about the show, which referenced her son, Trig, who has down syndrome. "Yeah, well, when is enough enough? And when are we going to be willing to say, you know, some things just aren't really funny," she said.
But the actress who played the Down syndrome character - and who has Down syndrome herself - found the episode "very funny."
Actress Andrea Friedman told the New York Times in an email:
I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm."
In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life.
Apparently that wasn't the full extent of the email. Palinsgates published the complete letter, sent to them by the actress' father, that included this zinger:
My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.
Check out the Family Guy clip below ( from Mediaite):

Your wedding day is one of the most important life events you will have, and your first dance will play a big part of that day! These 10 tips will help you to have a fun and easy experience while entertaining your guests as well!
1. You don't need dance experience for a first dance! We've all seen the reality dance shows on tv! You don't need prior dance experience or be a gymnast to do your first dance...just you and your partner and a willingness to have fun and enjoy yourselves!
2. Get the party started! As a professional dance instructor an performer I've found that audiences begin to lose interest in a performance at about the 2:30 minute mark. If your first dance song in longer than that don't worry! I suggest that you invite your guests to join you on the dance floor and while everyone is up ask the dj to fade into something HOT! That should keep everyone up on the floor to get the party started.
3. Practice makes perfect! Even professional dancers don't just "wing it". Take some lessons from a pro and then push back the rugs and sofa and practice! Dancing is really a matter of "muscle memory". The idea is that repetitive movement makes the body remember so the brain doesn't have to. Kind of like learning to ride a bike. Once you know how your never forget. Don't force your guests to watch 3 minutes of the high school prom dance!
4. Rehearse in your shoes! You don't have to wear them the whole time you are preparing for your first dance, but somewhere near the end you both should practice in the shoes you are going to wear that day. I had one bride how found her shoes where so uncomfortable to dance in she ordered a pair a 1/2 size up...she was able to change shoes because she left enough time to try the first pair out! Don't have a shoe emergency at the last minute!
5. Reconnect with your partner. It can get pretty hectic leading up to the big day with all the details and all...Having some lessons with your partner gives you a chance to reconnect and share some romantic time with your partner as well as giving you confidence on the dance floor!
6. Keep it simple and fun! You don't want to worry about memorizing a lone and elaborate routine...I recommend that you learn how to dance several basic steps WELL and have a few tricks to mix in...Usually a strong entrance...something cool in the middle and a romantic dip at the end with some strong dancing to fill in will wow your guests and make your day easier!
7. Forget the flaws! Don't worry about making mistakes...nobody knows your routine but you. If you don't telegraph the mistake by pulling an "OH NO" face, your guests won't even realize anything happened. Guys, lead the way and enjoy your first dance...flaws and all!
8. Your first dance song should be meaningful to the both of you! Don't worry if it's not the latest and greatest on the radio. Don't worry if everyone doesn't know who the artist is...pick something that makes you think of each other and that your both enjoy!
I hope these tips will help you to have an enjoyable, easy and stress free time of preparing your first dance. Remember...this is a small part of a big day so just have fun and go with it!
