A repeater for sure!
The very first thing that I noticed was the look of the whole place, which was out of the world. For starters we ordered some sandwiches and rolls which were tasty. I'm very impressed and look forward to visiting this place again. There's a reason why I have visited this place close to 5 times in the past 2 months.

It was quite late at night and we were hungry. Luckily we found The Mocha opened at Churchgate and hopped in. It sure is a cool place to hang out with friends. We wanted to order something that came quite quick as we were hungry and also getting late. So we ordered for The Roast Chicken Panini and a Hummus bowl salad. The The
Roast Chicken Panini was really good and also the Hummus salad is definitely worth a try. The only thing is that even this took ages to come. The service was pretty slow. I cant say if its always like that or was it because we went late night.

Mocha is a place I would visit often because of their amazing shakes and desserts. I went there around lunch time and started with the mocha shake. I clearly instructed the waiter to make the shake with an extra shot of coffee and no whipped cream on top. When my drink arrived there was a mountain of cream on top and all I could taste was milk, it's as if they forgot to put coffee in my cold coffee! I asked the waiter to fix my order, and he came back with my so called mocha shake and this time it was warm! I gave up and just wanted my food and wanted to leave.
The arab platter was a dish that was a total disaster. The shawarma had no hummus or garlic sauce instead it had a 2 cm layer of mayonnaise! Yuck. There was hardly any chicken in the shawarma and all I could taste was mayonnaise!
Lastly my cheese fries came and the dish was cold! I returned it and paid the bill and left. I knew if I asked the waiter to replace it, it would come in a worse state! On top of everything the staff tried to argue about everything, from the coffee to the fries (apparently cheese fries are served cold and when the cheese is hard)

well its your standard Lounge. Dim lighting , distinguished interiors , chaser type food. One thing though is that the waiters tend to be a bit rude and weirdly i saw them commenting about the people in the restaurant , which i found offensive.

Bad service , Annoying waiters
We had visited Mocha today and i couldn't wait to write this review!
Let me start with what happened ..
We ordered waffles , berry slush , fries , mexican panini .
The waiter/manager informed us that it would take 30 minutes for the waffles. We were absolutely okay with it as we had tasted their waffles during our last visit and it was great. There were few women who sat right behind us . They argued with the waiters for some service related issues.
Here comes our story ,
A foreigner couple sat right in front of us (this was 20 minutes after our arrival)
We waited for 20 minutes and there was no sign of juice or fries . We still waited and didn't utter a word. In 5 minutes , the foreigner couple were served the juice / coffee and in 10 minutes they were served their food. We still waited and it has been 45 minutes.
We informed the waiter thrice and he just smiled . I told him to stop smiling and get the food .How much time does it take to get a glass of juice and fries?
Oh also in between a couple sat beside us and they received their drinks in 10 minutes. No , seriously?
Well.. he finally served the juice first after 45 minutes of waiting and panini after 50 minutes.
Well..you're supposed to serve fries & drinks first right?
Then after 1 hr , the waiter comes up with our fries. He had the audacity to argue with us inspite of this being his/chef's fault and this is what he said
"Mam..it took time as it was DEEP FRIED!" . No, wait? Do you think i am an illiterate person who doesn't know how fries are made?
We told him to take it back and paid the bill (for panini and the berry drink ) as i wanted to get the hell out of this place due to the disgustingly slow (partial) service
Being a blogger myself , i would definitely NOT recommend this place to my readers / friends.
Such a shame!
Oh also , Mocha staff , please stop arguing with the customers when it's your fault !

Oh my deserts!!
Chocolate avalanche was the first dessert i tried at mocha. It was really an avalanche of chocolate. I have never really gone there for its coffee. Its the deserts I prefer. And they hardly disappoint. The atmosphere is good. A separate smoking zone is really appreciated. The service is good. Its the place me and my cousins prefer when we want to spend quality time with each other.
January 28, 2013response from management at Mocha:
Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to serving you again soon.

Impressed with this place!!!
This place is famous for hookah, some of my friends who are hookah lovers took me to this place. The very first thing that I noticed was the look of the whole place, which was out of the world. For starters we ordered some sandwiches and rolls which were tasty. Some restaurants give good food but their service is pathetic, but I have never visited a place so perfect. Their service was good, food was delicious and the ambience was too good. I'm very impressed and look forward to visiting this place again.
Paradise for coffee lovers!!!
Im an avid coffee lover and love to discover places that offer my kind of coffee. Churchgates Mocha is one place which fits my budget and gives an excellent coffee every time I visit them (Just the way I want). Me and my friends love the ambience as it gives a very lazy feeling and then you just sit and chat till we realize that its too late! :P I visit this place so often that the waiters out there also know which coffee I want.

Sit back and indulge in the luxury here
When talking about Mocha, the first thing that comes to my mind is the soothing ambiance it has. The food is another thing why you would want to come back to this place again and again. I went there last weekend and had a great time with my friend's company there. We had the Italian Omelette, Chiken Aioli and ofcourse the classic Panini. All the dishes were very well prepared and flavoured. This is what Mocha is all about, great ambiance, good food and not to forget wine...I love to visit this place whenever i get a chance.

Ambiance is the talk of the town here
Mocha is a place famous for its ambiance. I love to come to this place, it feels good to come to a place where you can be chilled out and be just yourself. The food is awesome and let your tastebuds try the different European flavours from sandwiches to paninis, all are worth trying. You will definately come back to experiance the fun in the soothing environment of this place.
June 26,2011
Has been
Went there with friends after a long time. Ordered a bunch of things. The green apple and melon drink was very good and the reason for the star. One of the burgers was good but the rest was all rubbish. Service was non existent. I think that they should just convert the whole thing into a hookah parlour since that's all they seem to be doing right.

Great place for youngsters...
Mocha is famous for its varieties of coffees and it indeed does justice to it. The Irish coffee being the best, I also liked the choices they have given in desserts, try 'Vertigo', its fabulous. Another reason for Mocha to be famous is the fruit flavoured hookahs, one will definitely regret going to Mocha and not having a hookah. All in all, a nice pleasant experience which you may remember after visiting this place.
Cool place to check out
You cannot come here and not have hookah. The range of flavours that they provide is fab. You should try the grapemint, which according to me is the best one. I normally opt for desserts as they are pretty good. The Panini is a must have as its simply yum! Although the food here is somewhat expensive, but then again we dont come in such places again and again right? So guess it is worth for once in a blue moon!!
The perfect place for late night hangouts
Mocha provides a luxurious experience from its awesome ambience and quick quality service. Famous for its hookah parlour, it surely has a serene atmosphere even after being so overly crowded because of being situated near to the churchgate station and can be easily spotted from far.
The music played is as soothing as the ambience and one can just come and enjoy a quite time with their loved ones here. That doesnt mean this place is not for people who want to have fun. There is a big screen for all those cricket lovers and the fun during the world cup matches could not have been better as I was one of them who enjoyed the thrilling India - Australia match here. It is indeed a nice place and I actually experienced more than what I had expected.. Definitely recommended to all!

Hookah lovers will enjoy here...!!
This place has got me addicted to hookah ohh I just loved the ambience..I went to mocha with four of my friends and we enjoyed every moment we spent there...we spent almost 2 - 3 hours and no one even complained..The waiters were quite quick to attend our table and suggested us some really good food...Panini is something that you cannot miss if you have come here...You should also try the very famous Irish Coffee...Its awesome..I think mocha should be one of the most acclaimed places to be visited if one is addicted to hookah and wants to have some great food altogether..

Shabby ambience... but nice service!
I was here last Saturday along with couple of friends for a drink & some hookah. There was a match between England & SL that day.
Location: easy to spot beside Shiv Sagar near churchgate railway station!
Ambience: when we entered the place, there are 4 parts of this joint to be precise One on the outside where F&B activities was carried out & a large screen was placed der 4 ppl to njy d match! This sight gave us a good presumption that things inside would be better where they serve hookah! But how wrong we were!! The second section is a bit of lounge type where hookahs were served along with food, which was quite OK types! The third one was the royal place type on a slight platform above the ground may be ½ a floor up! This was the special lounge where things were slightly expensive we were disappointed since there was no space available for 4 of us there! The most horrible place was the smoking room (d 4th part of this place) . U can say it as bahar se sundar . Sada hua andar. Broken chairs sofas with cigg holes & tables which must have been a century old broken & somehow together!!! And to top it all, this was the only place available (no wonder why)! Crowd were mostly college goers or couples!
Our order: well, as I said earlier, we went there for a drink & hookah we ordered a hookah along with few beers one of the worst hookah I have ever had at a hookah joint the flavor was so low that we had to ask them twice to make it stronger! Beers werent chilled enough it was on the room temp kinda types! Since we were meeting after a long time, we just went on with it! Hookahs in other mocha joints are much much better than the one I had here!! Wt a disgrace they have taken ppl for granted to make profits instead of providing a customer with good service to make them come back again at ur plce! No wonder, now I have written it off my list of hookah joints!
Price: the overall bill ran upto arnd Rs. 1500 with the hookah being charged at 495+taxes!! This is on the costlier side considering the kind of hookah we had! So, I felt being cheated on hookah!
Service: Well, with the kind of rush they had the waiters were quite attentive & regular in replacing the coal as & when asked without taking a long time! We also made a special request of getting a cigar for us & though they didnt have it with them at Mochas.. the waiter tried getting it for us from a nearby place! So overall, the level of service was pretty good!
Recommendable: You can go here, but dont enter the smoking room on the ground floor or else it can just spoil ur mood! Otherwise, I have been here before too (but not for hookah) & enjoyed having a drink or two here in the open space outside! So overall, yes you can visit this place & I hope the management does something for the shabby smoking room!!

Brilliant place gone down
Such an awesome place this used to be; great ambience, good choices of drinks, the Hukka's...ohhh, mind boggling and no hurry for the people to leave....Sadly, the quality of staff here has gone down drastically, the staff almost feels like they are doing us a favour by serving us! The food tastes the same, run-off-the-mill stuff; a MUST avoid are the cookies and the brownies.
The only thing that gets me back to this place is the ambience; which is pretty good
January 28,2011
pretty good for a night out with friends
The ambience was definitely interesting and uniquely designed.. I liked it quite a bit!
The coffee's and shakes my friends and i had there were all great, as were the hukkas! Service was ok too i must say, though we did have to repeat our orders to a confused waiter more than a few times!
The only downside were the cookies that we ordered.. They tasted a rather undercooked and were hard to keep down.. so that was a bummer..
Otherwise, it was nice place to hang out at after a hearty meal with a group of friends!

This branch of Mocha is popular owing to its location. And maybe the panini and hookah. Everything else is mediocre.
The coffee is so-so. The coolers are so sugary you would want to throw up! The service is sloppy and confused... I called for a California Cooler and got some rubbish sugar-loaded berry drink instead X-(
So if you're thinking about taking your date to Mocha, think again. There are much better places around town.
November 01,2010
there are very few places where you are so disapointed that you truely question why the hell are you wasting so much money. ok i must tell you that ive been there only once and had just two things....one roasted chicken sandwich and one coffee. the CIABATTA bread sandwich was absolutely horrible. the bread tasted like those monginis pizza bases. the roast chicken filling ttly tasteless...and whatever they cald herb chutney...well i could throw a few green chillies and corriander and mint salt and come up with something much beter. the coffee also nothing special and i dont know about the sugar...i added 4 sachets and still dint go sweet. worst of all they were showing wresting on a giant screen.

Desserts - Innovative and Big
This place is stacked in the all so popular row leading to Churchgate station. They have a seating outside for the ones who love fresh air and also have an enclosed section for the Hookah lovers.
I preferred the fresh air section. They had some offer running on beer. Order 3 pints get the fourth free. Nothing great in the offer, but wasn't bad. In the end the VAT (25%) gives you the real blow.
The food was OK. Nothing to really write about. We ordered a assorted Tapas, which included four different starters. The sausage tasted very close to one of those ready to cook ones (but i'm almost sure it wasn't one of that). The meat balls they had servred were really bad. The batter was too thick making the entire chunk hard to chew. The chicken was coked well and worth appreciation.
The best pasrt of Mocha as always was the Dessert. We ordered the Avalanche. Every dessert you can relate with Chocolate is dumped in a huge mug and served to you. But eating it is truly pleasurable. The portion is also huge. We ordered an "Avalanche Junior" and it turned out to be a little too much for 2 people. But when it comes to Chocolate - Never waste.
Surely a must visit for the desserts. They are supposed to have good coffees too. If you are in a larger group, try the Vertigo (Chocolate cake). Ideally would require 4-5 people to finish it. Challenge yourself
Nice place to chill
Churchgate Mocha is a great place to chill, am in love with it. The best thing i like about Mocha is its Coffee and Food. I love the Columbian Supremo, its sinful. The BMT Panini is also engaging. Everything about this place is awesome, right from the ambience to the food to the customer service.

When did I first visit Mocha yaa somewhere in 2003 ..They were only offering hookahs then..Must say their offering has improved a lot in terms of ambience,food and hookah flavours..What I like the most is amazing paninos and shakes they offer..Blackforest Shake being my favorite...Like Always.. this place still remains my favorite.:-)
November 19,2009
dis z my place !
The first thing that hits you when you enter Mocha is the strong essence of coffee. One can find the best of coffees imported from all-over the world at Mocha and my favorite is the signature coffee of Mocha - The Choco-Latte, it's a killer combination of espresso, whipped cream and European chocolate. I have a sweet tooth so can't live without deserts which Mocha is also known for. Chocolate Avalanche Sr. is what my jaw drops down to and why shouldn't it - the desert is a mix of chocolate mousse, brownie, fudge and truffles. Mocha is famous for its college kid clientele but it's just another cool hangout for working professionals like me in Churchgate.

Chill Out..Dont Expect Anything Else..
My (and my friends') biggest love factor with this place has always been the fact that it exemplifies the term "chill out"-the whole atmosphere is that of people simply chilling out (or "too dim and smoky" depending on your taste!) basically u go in, see a whole lotta youngsters sitting around a (supposedly cool) hookah and maybe 1-2 cups of coffee and simply yakking away..u can join the haze with your own gang or you can decide to sit inside (there are 2 levels of sitting-again either too cool an ambience or too dark-depending on ur taste!)
u can try out any of the coffees-i like the hot ones more than the coolers, ofcourse anyone can tell u that mocha is famous for its chocolate based stuff-so u can always order a chocolate avalanche and dip yourself in its chocolately taste and maybe swear to never half chocolate again (and break the vow as soon as u come out of dere!)
u mite also wanna give any of de edible stuff a try-even though i would personally never pay anyone more than 20 bucks for a plate of maggi (here they charge u much much more dan dat!)-u can try it out for sure..
u can definitely try out one of its many awesome different shakes-toblerone, kit kat, ferrero rocher, apple pie shake (thats my fav one!) and please do not think about dieting here!
waiters typically take more than 10 minutes to appear at ur table with the menu, another 15 minutes before dey wanna take ur order, another half an hour before dey serve it...basically the best part about being here is dat u can chill out for a minimum of 2 hours widout anyone disturbing u or threatening to throw u out! All in all, a very good relaxing place for u nd ur friends, a bit expensive (so always good to go in a group of 5-6 people and take 2-3 different stuff and split de bill so dat it comes to around 150-200 per person!) nd just remember, not everything on dat expensive menu is awesome, but yes, nothing beats de ambience nd de relaxing feeling of being able to even sleep dere for an hour or two widout anyone bothering u :D

Mixed bag
Had gone with two other friends on a _weekday_ evening, it wasn't particularly crowded (the outer section was almost completely empty)... settled down, ordered iced tea (strictly ok), currant cooler (very nice, strongly recommended!), a panini or something (meh... they claim its a baguette, but its really just a toasted hotdog bun)...
The most anticipated part of the order was naturally the dessert, and we chose the Chocolate Avalanche Sr., but they broke our hearts by saying it wasn't available (they didn't have brownies that day!)! We had to settle for "That Chocolate Thing", recommended by the server... sadly it was a complete disaster! :-( the menu says its a sinful flourless chocolate cake, but in fact it was the furthest possible thing from that delicious description x-(
Service: very slow, not enough people to handle the upper floor -- just one guy who would pop in every 15min or so. And they add a 10% service tax to your bill whether you like it or not! Ordinarily i wouldn't grumble about this, but the lack of brownies and the terrible dessert hit us pretty hard!
used to be alot better!
mocha, this is the only mocha joint which serves only hookah/sheesha in that one small room of a place they call the smoking room! they serve no food or drinks!
before when they used to serve sheesha outside it was a lot better, they got a lot more people, a much bigger place, not at all closterphobic anbd much more fun!
i seriously they think they should take a look at the juhu and lokhandwala.

Upper Level Seating is Great
This branch of Mocha has multiple seating spots, one thats the outdoor and then the indoor has a two level seating.
I love the floor seating concept on the upper level. Although many a times i have found the upper level closed. Adore this place for the wide variety of shakes and food. Had the omlettte and a glass of wine and was perfect on all counts. Service could deter a bit. Must have the kit kat shake.

Best quality sheesha.
Many of you might be thinking that a place like mocha truly deserves a 5 star? Well yes may be for me atleast,as far as i'm concerned i'm a fan of mocha.Especially Churchgate and Bandra.as bandra one is under renovation let's talk about churchgate mocha.The ambience is a classic british brick ambience and the recently made smoking lounge is a cool place to be but one thing that if you don't smoke please don't enter as you might get affected by smoke.Mocha serves the best quality sheesha that no other serves.The + point of mocha is the staff that ensures that sheesha taste's good.They change the coal by themselves that's another + point.Variety of things to choose over the menu.100% lounge music.And all those shakes can make you fat enough and increase your calories because they are heavan made shakes.And the wine is brilliant and the wine menu is really innovative,i would suggest you ivy from the pink wine.I would suggest everyone to go atleast once.And then you will start going on your own.And KIDS BELOW 18 STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED!!...keep your i.d cards ready/

Mini Meals
I discovered two more dishes at Mocha, which make the visit all the more worthwhile. Next time you're there do have the Maggi Arabiatta (Rs 95) or the Scrambled egg on toast (Rs 65). Complete mini-meals in under a hundred bucks each. Both yummy!

The usual
This place is everything you expect from Mocha. I personally prefer the Bandra Mocha but that should not take away anything from this branch.
My only gripe is the crowd. Since there are quite a few colleges nearby, you'll usually see a whole bunch of annoying, acne ridden teens bunking class and occupying space without any signs of leaving. These wannabe, cell phone wielding crowd usually hangs out in the outer open area. Inside though, its a little better.
As you can see, apart from the crowd I have no complaints.
Just make sure you have time on your hands since you'll most probably have to wait a while before you can make yourselves comfortable.

vsync, twinview, composite
I keep finding conflicting statements or 6-12 month old references to work that will be done in the future, or will be done during 2010. Question is, is it not possible to have vsync on both displays with twinview setup, and desktop effects enabled?
Edit: Oddly, KDE desktop effects allows me to at least use xv video output and avoid tearing on second screen. Same vo in gnome with compiz enabled gives tearing. VDPAU under either desktop environment also gives tearing, regardless of VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE variable.
Edit again:
It seems I can only get vsync on one screen while in twinview. And, I can only get it on the screen that is connected to the first connector on my 9600GT. __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE changes nothing. It always syncs to the screen connected to the first connector, no matter what I do. I'm using one CRT and one DFP. Changing primary x screen in nvidia settings also has no effect. It still always syncs to whatever screen I have connected to the first connector on the graphics card.
All I really need is for it to sync to the second connector instead, since I can live without vsync on my application monitor, but can't stand tearing in movies I'm watching on my plasma.
Edit FIXED (sort of):
Well, using two separate x screens running metacity on plasma tv and compiz on the other I can now use vdpau and everything seems to be working. So far p)
#!/bin/bash sleep 5 DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --only-current-screen --replace &

When I first started exploring the world of cloth diapers, I really wanted to use prefolds.

"Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here." ~Marianne Williamson
Sometimes I look at people who appear to be confident, successful, and happy and imagine that they always feel that way—that they never feel insecure or afraid, and they always operate from a place of trusting love.
Then I remember that every person who has a pulse deals with human emotions. What confident, successful, happy people have going for them is that they feel fears, but they make decisions from a place underneath them.
They push through discomfort, fully aware that it's impermanent, and in the process learn, grow, and expand. They realize that whatever happened in the past is over, and what happens is the future is dependent on their willingness to act now.
Some days I let my fear control me, feeling sure I know what bad thing is coming and determined to prevent it. On other days I remember that I am shaping the future, and I can create it in love or fear, but not both. Which do you choose today?

A Dupe for Clarins 230, aka Unicorn Pee?
If you're a fan of unique nail polishes, but hate how hard they can be to come by, I may have found something really exciting for you!
Clarins 230 is an incredible shade. It's a multichrome purple-red shade that is packed with shimmer that takes on a life of it's own, glimmering away in all sorts of different colours...I could stare at the bottle for a good while, it's that beautiful! (If you've never seen it before, go do a search! There are lots of much better photos than mine out there)
For some odd reason, Clarins stopped making this stunning colour which has resulted in it being one of the hardest nail polishes to find and purchase nowadays. It occasionally pops up on eBay, almost always for a ridiculous price (there's one being sold for around £65 right now). Being so scarce, 230 has been given the name 'Unicorn Pee' by bloggers, which seems like an apt description to me!
I actually managed to get a bottle a few years back for less than £10 which was a point of pride for me, lol! But due to it's scarcity and how beautiful it is, I can't bring myself to use it!
But I came across a little something today that has a lot of promise and I won't mind using it all up! I'm not going to tell you what it is yet, this is just a little teaser until I can get proper swatches and comparisons done. But here's a little photo:
What do you think? Is it a possible dupe? Could I have found a new source of Unicorn Pee?!

I know EXACTLY what it is as I bought it a few days ago and I'm wearing it now. ;) I don't know the Clarins nail polish, so no idea if it's a dupe or not, but this one is really pretty in its own right.

Rrright, I was afraid it might be that.I have it on my list of "try to finds!". As, I am in the USA, and damn, can't get it here. I can't even seem to find a supplier, to even ask if they would ship it here. =\ Any sites or ideas to find this lovely? =) I was hopeful for a night that it might be something I could find here.

The present invention relates to a connecting device for telecommunication circuits.
It is known that in the practical operation of telecommunication systems, the signals existing on the circuits, in order to be correctly employed, must undergo to suitable treatments or processings, such as amplifications, attenuations, equalizations, controls, protections, decodings and so on, which operations are realized by means of suitable electric and/or electronic components.
The object of the invention is to provide a device which allows to connect input circuits with output circuits through one or more circuitries apt to carry out one or more of the said processings.
Hereinafter the term "input" will be used to denote the circuit(s) carrying the signals to be processed, and the term "output" to denote the circuit(s) carrying the already processed signals.
The device according to the invention is characterized in that it substantially comprises a threeside frame, made of an insulating material and advantageously shaped as a rectangle open in correspondence of one side, which frame is provided, on an outwardly directed wall of each of the two opposite sides, input or respectively output terminals, and has on the inner face of each of the said sides a longitudinal groove, which may be engaged by two opposite edges of a movable board, which board has shape and size substantially corresponding with the shape and size of the hollow space encircled by the frame, the said board having printed thereon circuits in which elements apt to process the signals arriving at the input terminals may be connected, said frame being provided with input and output connectors, connected to the corresponding terminals and apt to cooperate with conjugate connectors carried by the board and electrically connected to the circuits thereof, in order electrically, to connect the said input terminals with the said output terminals through the processing circuits carried by the said board.
According to a first embodiment of the invention, the said opposite sides of the frame are mechanically connected by a fixed board, having printed thereon leads to which are connected the input or respectively output terminals. Advantageously the said terminals have one end projecting from the inner face of the said sides of the frame and are suitably connected to one end of the leads of the printed circuit of the fixed board, which through the said leads electrically connects the said terminals and those of a connector located on the fixed board in front of the frame opening and possibly corresponding to the closing side of the frame.
According to a second embodiment, the connectors on the frame consist of areas of conductive material realized on the inner face of each of the two opposite sides of the frame, and suitably connected to the input or respectively output terminals, and the movable board is provided, on the edges engaging the said grooves, with contact springs which, when the board is inserted in the frame, provide for the desired connection between input and output through the circuits carried by the board.
Advantageously the device according to the invention may be coupled to a plurality of other similar devices; to this end the two major sides of the frame are provided with through holes, with axis perpendicular to the plane of the movable board, and which may be engaged by suitable rods apt to support the said plurality of devices.
The invention will appear more clearly from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which show some embodiments of the invention given by way of non limitative examples, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention, with the movable board extracted;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the device of FIG. 1, with the movable board inserted in the frame;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1 and shows a second embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a group of devices according to the invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the device according to the invention comprises a frame 1 of insulating material, advantageously of rectangular shape without one of the minor sides and upwardly open, which frame has on the inwardly directed surface of its major sides 3 and 4, guiding grooves 5 or respectively 6 which may be engaged by two edges of a movable board 2, which will be described later on.
The outer surface of each of the two major sides 3 and 4 has fixed thereon input and respectively output terminals 7, 8, an end portion of which is embedded in the insulating material of the sides and projects from the inner surface thereof permitting to connect electrically, the terminals with printed circuits 9, 10 realized on a fixed board 11 solid with the frame 11. Only the projecting and portions 12 of terminals 8 are shown in the drawing.
The printed circuits 9, 10 of plate 11 are also connected to contacts 13 located on the two faces of a groove realized in a connector 14 which may form the third side of frame 1.
The board 2 has on its faces printed circuits 15 to which devices apt to process the signals arriving to the input terminals 7 may be connected: these devices are diagrammatically shown by the parallelepiped 16.
FIG. 1 still shows that the board 2 has a bottom edge 17 having realized thereon contacts 18 conjugate with contacts 13 of connector 14: the said edge 17, in the operating position of the device (FIG. 2) engages the groove of connector 14, so that contacts 13 and 18, together with circuits 9, 10, 15 and the projecting ends 12 of the terminals, cooperate in order electrically to connect the input 7 with the output 8 through the processing devices 16 carried by the plate 2.
The drawing still shows that the terminals 7, 8 are fastened to the respective frame side at an acute angle therewith: this has the aim to make easier the assembling and the connection of the device in the telecommunication circuits, and has no limitative character for the invention.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the device according to the invention still comprises the rectangular frame 1 with three sides, provided on the major sides 3, 4 with the guides 5, 6 for the plate 2 and with the input and output terminals 7, 8.
In this embodiment the terminals 7, 8 have on the inner face of the sides 3, 4 of frame 1 contact areas 19 and respectively 20, and the edges of plate 2 are provided with contact springs 21, 22 connected to the printed circuit 15. The distance between adjacent springs coincides with the distance between adjacent contacts 19 or 20 on the frame 1, and the said springs cooperate with the said contacts to realize the desired electrical connection between the terminals 7, 8.
In this embodiment the minor side 14 of the frame 1 acts only as a mechanical link between the major sides 3, 4.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show also that the major sides of frame 1, near their ends and in an intermediate point, are provided with through holes 23 of which the axis is perpendicular to the faces of the frame, said holes allowing to gather together a plurality of devices, as shown in FIG. 4, for instance by means of rods 24 engaging the said holes.

As a lawyer and consultant, I have been engaged in some form of what I now know as public relations for more than 20 years; it was just never called public relations. It was alternatively referred to as public affairs, public information or public participation. And although I had real-world experience, I had no formal training in such topics as communication theory, models or history. Nonetheless, in May 2013, when two APRs in our firm held a session to introduce Accreditation, I was intrigued. A week later I was in a Jump Start class.

Friday Tunic
14 comments:
This tunic is gorgeous! I love the soft gray color. The belt thing across the front does add visual interest. I would style this with leggings and boots! Have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
I really like that tunic. It looks nice and warm.ReplyDelete
Those are cool jeans. I'd wear them every day! :-)ReplyDelete
I love the A.S. tunic - and what a great price : > Cool jeans too.ReplyDelete
Ya, I have mixed feelings on the belt too. I can only imagine all the possibilities for belts you could come up with if it wasn't there, but it certainly isn't offensive (and I do love tunic options that don't require belting for those "my stomach doesn't want anything touching it" days).ReplyDelete
And good grief, I didn't realize that I wear jeans ALL THE TIME until now!!
I love that tunic sooo much!:) Don't cut it. It's an automatic belt and it does it much needed interest.ReplyDelete
okay, that's supposed to say "it does give it much needed interest."ReplyDelete
Great tunic!ReplyDelete
I would wear a tunic like that. It looks very comfy. But the fabric belt thingy? Um...I'm not loving it. I've cut off belts before and I probably would take it off this tunic too. It's not bad, but it could look cuter.ReplyDelete
I'll be watching for your outfit polyvores this weekend!
i love that tunic. and i actually like the belt thingy. looks pretty cool and gives it character! i really love this look over those jeans.ReplyDelete
Your jeans are really cool :D and I think the belt makes the tunic a little more fun, but if you don't like it - chop it off!ReplyDelete
Okay - while you are at my house, hiding in my closet, waiting to steal my new animal-print dress, I'll be at YOUR house, hiding in YOUR closet, waiting to steal this tunic. It. Is. Soveryawesome. And I particularly love it with those jeans. Which I might also steal while I'm at it... ;)ReplyDelete
And I vote to keep the belt-thingie. You have a narrow waist and the belt highlights that. Figure flattering!
Great tunic! You have such a good eye for the All Saints stuff...when I go to their website I can't picture how to style anything.ReplyDelete
i really like the belty thing on the tunic!ReplyDelete

When I first met Richard I weighed just over 12 ½ stone, I was a dress size 16/18, and able to run for perhaps 250 yards before having to stop.
In our first session I remember that when boxing I really didn't think I could manage to keep going, that I felt weak and thought I would never be able to achieve what my friend, who introduced me, had achieved in terms of fitness.
I was 40 years old and had been fat all my life. I still have the photograph that I took of my reflection in the train window one day, which was the moment I decided to change.
Today I'm a size 10, I weigh 10 stone and am continuing to lose weight, my shape is totally different. My tummy is getting flatter, my hips are slight, someone has commented on my arms looking good. I can run for 8 Kilometers, I am scheduled to run a 10K for charity in a few weeks and am confident of my pace. I can box (I love the boxing!), I can step, I can lift weights. I have so much energy now, I can run and play with my Children. I no longer get an energy dip in the afternoon and I feel and sleep so much better.
The period between these 2 statements is 7 months. However, I noticed an improvement in my stamina and ability within a couple of weeks, and have continued to notice improvement as Richard has changed the way I'm working so that the improvement continues. He is patient, encouraging and kind, yet he will make sure I am giving of my best, he knows what I'm capable of and expects that from me. He works me in short bursts with different activities and equipment because he knows I bore easily, but he pushes me to do things I'm not good at first time – for example anything requiring co-ordination! I don't even need a gym membership!
Best of all, for me, he has advised me on how to keep up my activity in the time between our weekly sessions and always encourages and praises me even when a workout happens other than in his paid time. He has advised me on eating as well, which of course makes a big difference to my weight.
I can wholeheartedly recommend PT:U, Richard has changed my life for the better and forever and I will always be grateful. Do something about it, today!

'Richard's training methods and approach have helped me lose over 15 stone in total, and as a result I have a new lease of life.
I can't put into words how grateful I am for everything he's taught me, in addition to his resolute determination to reach and exceed whatever goals I've set myself with his guidance along the way.
His training style is completely bespoke to my own needs and preferences; every session is different - and difficult - but I feel a real sense of achievement afterwards when I eventually catch my breath.
The Biggest Loser helped me start my journey towards physical fitness and I know that with Richard's support and training, I'll reach the summit.
Anyone who trains with him will realise he's a secret weapon - their training performance will sky-rocket and any fitness goals they thought they had will need to be reassessed'.

'Richard Jones is simply awesome! His skill, knowledge and approach to personal training has helped me change my entire life. I have had the pleasure of losing a serious amount of weight with Richard support, and think that it is no coincidence that Wil, my training buddy - also lost a lot of weight whilst training with Richard.
Every session was different, but spot on for what was needed during my weight loss journey. Richard was always there for any support and motivation that was needed, both in and out of the gym - he really made sure that I stayed on track.
I have worked with many trainers over the years, and can honestly say Rich is up there amongst the best, he is a true gentleman and has a perfect mix of professionalism and fun in his training sessions. His belief and trust in me, not only change me physically but mentally too.
Although I have now left the UK, I will still be using Richard for advice and support, especially when I beginning studying to become a personal trainer myself later on this year.
Thank you Richard for being so utterly awesome, and fantastic at what you do - you completely exceeded my expectations of both a personal trainer and a friend'.

'Big thanks to Richard at PT:U Performance Training for my Power and Conditioning sessions, these have really made such a difference to my fitness and pre-fight preparation. Thanks so much for all the work you have done with me.'
Former Heavyweight British Commonwealth and Prize Fighter Champion, Aged 36, Reading.
Emma Rigby
'Richard is undoubtedly incredibly talented at what he does, even after just a few sessions I certainly noticed and felt the difference in my body and fitness.
He works you extremely hard yet in an enthusiastic manner, which therefore means you actually enjoy working out! As a personal trainer, he is everything you could possible wish for and couldn't recommend him more highly.
Not only a passionate hard working individual who can help you achieve whatever goal you are aiming for, Richard is one of the nicest guys I know and is always smiling and fantastic for a good old gossip also!
If you are looking for the ultimate work out, Mr Jones is certainly the man for you'.

'When I finally became so over-weight I didn't even want to look at myself in a mirror, I decided I needed to change my appearance and have a healthier lifestyle.
After getting in to contact with Richard Jones at PT:U, Richard met with me and since then my life has changed completely. Richard really listened to my problems and really seemed to take on board what I was saying and then put together a program for me that was challenging but I felt could be achieved. I began to train hard everyday of the week and saw results instantly.
I also changed my diet and started to consume less calories and eat healthier than i would usually instead of skipping breakfast and over eating. So far I've managed to go from being 128kg down to now being 91kg all in the space of just 15 weeks.
As a result of this i feel much healthier and my stamina has increased drastically. Not only this, but i now feel a lot more confident where as before I was so concerned about my weight it was affecting my social life. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Richard for all his hard work and belief and confidence in me as I wouldn't be in the position I am now without his help. I intend to keep up the hard work continuing to re-shape my future in to a healthier one and also encourage anyone who is planning on losing weight like I was to go for it, as the hardest part is taking that initial step. Thanks again Rich!'

'Richard @ PT:U has helped me achieve a new level of performance and swing consistancy by guiding me through an amazing strength and conditioning program for Golf. His delivery was exceptional. More controlled clubhead speed and power is at my disposal! Good technique alone is not enough without an efficient body. Thanks to Richard, I now have both!'

'Leading a busy, mostly desk-based lifestyle meant some personal training was what I needed to get back in shape. Rich set me a programme of increasing challenges, keeping the sessions interesting and achievable. Rich was very encouraging and helped me achieve my goals. He won't give up on you if you don't give up on yourself.'

Richard has been hugely motivational in helping me to lose weight and tone up. I have changed my diet based on his good advice, and I have followed a training programme for the past 12 weeks which Richard has tailored to suit my fitness levels. I have lost over 2 stone in 12 weeks and I am continuing to train with Richard as we move from weight loss into resistance training. Richard is clearly very good at what he does but above all he is encouraging, supportive and most importantly a very amenable guy.

'Richard Jones, on a scale of 1-10 would get 10 from me.
I am a lady in my forties and have had P.T with Rich for over 2 years, every session we do something different, and always such good fun.
I have dropped 2 dress sizes have a BMI of 20.5 and feel really healthy. Really worth all that sweat, would definitely recommend you give Rich a go.'

Victoria Smith
'I started seeing Richard as I felt I wanted a bit more variety in my exercise routine and also to gain some tips, as I myself am a gym instructor training to be a P.T. I would highly recommend Richard as a trainer. The sessions were really varied - no two sessions were ever the same and so I never became bored. He really pushed me, which was what I wanted - my fitness reached a new level and I lost half a stone in weight. Richard was flexible and willing to fit training sessions around my lifestyle; he came to my house to train me when I was unable to get to the gym and changed times to fit around my commitments and it never seemed to be a problem. Richard is also a genuine guy who gave me some really good advice on setting up as a PT myself. '

Allan Boath
'My fitness objectives were to help my golf game and have fun exercising. My weekly hour with Rich flies by and his PT program has helped get my handicap down too - result!'

Dale Thomas
'Knowing what a specific exercise is doing for you is important in motivating you to work harder. Richard has always been clear in explaining the benefit that you can expect for the effort expended. Richard pushes you to work harder and knowing the areas of improvement beforehand helps you focus your mind and efforts.'

Emily Parker
'My name is Emily and I am a 30 year old who works as a nurse. I have been undertaking personal training with Richard now for the last few months. Richard is not only a friendly person but an excellent and supportive personal trainer who has tailored an effective and individual training program for me and offers dietary advice. The sessions are always enjoyable but tough which is what you expect from personal training. I like the fact I feel that I have had a really good work out. I would highly recommend Richard as a personal trainer.'
Nurse, Aged 30, Wokingham
Sabi Chadda
'I originally started PT sessions with Richard because I had been out of the gym for a few years with injury and illness. Richard created an easy going, relaxed, and comfortable atmosphere to ensure I trained consistently and injury free. As my motivation, fitness and confidence levels increased, Richard made the workouts more challenging and creative. Richard is passionate about fitness and is highly educated in all aspects of diet and training. I now train 6 days a week in various sports and have incredible energy and motivation. All this was possible due to Richard's dedication to help me achieve my goals.'

Alisa Loyal
I have been training with Aaron since May this year. I have never needed to lose weight. I am a runner and train regularly but wanted to improve my body shape by adding definition and muscle tone. As a women I've always had the misconception that the weights room is for men and women that lift weights are bulky. Aaron has changed my mind on this and taught me that "strong is sexy" and muscles are beautiful on women. The most important thing he taught me was body composition and not to worry what the scales say.
After completing a food and exercise diary for Aaron he suggested that I add resistance training and gave me a nutritional plan to follow. We focused most of my PT sessions on weight training and Aaron wrote up a plan for me to follow. Aaron is very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic . He made me feel comfortable training in a male dominated weights room that can feel intimating to women. He always corrects me when my posture or position is wrong and I now feel confident on my own to lift weights.
I've significantly improved my all round fitness, especially my strength, stamina and energy levels. This in term has helped with my running. After two weeks of following his plan I achieved a new PB in a 10k something I had been desperate to do for months.
I've learnt so much about exercise techniques, nutrition and am now able to do exercises that I never thought possible.
Aaron always encourages me to succeed in the exercise I am doing. I'm proud to say that I can squat more than my body weight which is an amazing achievement for a lady that just liked to run! The sessions can be tough but are always enjoyable. I feel happier now with my body than I ever have.
I would thoroughly recommend Aaron to any one looking for a personal trainer.
Laurence Gaubert-Carter
I have had the pleasure to work with Aaron for 18 months now. I was a size 22 and very out of shape when I first met him. 18 months later, I am a size 12 and have become a gym bunny! Aaron changed my routine every 6-8 weeks so I never got bored and kept an eye on me. He s lovely, gentle and personnable but won t let you stop or sell your self short. I cannot recommend Aaron enough.
I first decided to have personal training sessions with Aaron for an upcoming holiday; my goal was to lose some weight and to tone up. I had tried several 'diets' on my own and lost and regained the some few pounds over and over again. Although I did go to the gym, I wasn't really sure what I was doing; so I mainly stuck to cardio in order to burn some calories. Aaron has made the whole process really enjoyable, and I have had great results while sticking to the plan he had drawn up for me. As well as a new exercise plan, he also put me a new diet plan together.
The diet was great as he worked it around my lifestyle and foods I would normally eat; as a result, it was then far easier to stick to and I wasn't hungry at all. He has also adjusted the diet plan as we have gone along to reflect what I have been doing at the time, which has been really helpful, as this is not something that I would have known to change myself.
With regards to exercise, I have been using a five day plan that Aaron has created for me which includes free-weights, intervals, kettle bells and circuits. I have been having one personal training session a week with Aaron, and the rest of the week I have been training by myself; he had gone through all of the exercises with me so I knew exactly what I was doing, it has definitely helped me feel more comfortable when training alone.
The PT sessions are what really kept me going, as having someone encouraging me all the way through, really helps to get the most out of a session. I frequently ask him questions about what I am doing, and he is always more than happy to help.
It has been much easier and more enjoyable since having more variety in the exercise rather than just doing cardio all of the time; I haven't felt like I have wanted to give up as I have done previously. At first I was slightly nervous, as I did feel unfit and I had never used free-weights or kettle bells before; Aaron was really helpful through this and kettle bells have now become one of my favourite things to do.
I am really pleased he encouraged me out of my comfort zone, as this is something I would never have tried on my own. Taking up personal training sessions have been one of the best things I have done; in the 12 weeks that I followed the diet and exercise plan, I have lost 3.9kgs, 6% body fat, and a total of 8.5 inches.
I achieved the results that I had wanted before my holiday which was my original goal. However, I have also enjoyed it much more than I ever thought I would, and the results have been amazing. I have felt better and more confident than I ever have previously, and will continue to have PT sessions to feel to reach my next goal.
Sarah Amos
Turning 40 with an under active thyroid (now treated) had left me nearly 14 stone. I decided enough was enough I was tired of feeling stodgy, unattractive and with no energy or clothes that fitted! As a long time member (but very infrequent user ) of the gym, exercise was key to the weight loss and increased fitness i wanted.
It was my husband's suggestion to try a personal trainer and he 'found' Aaron. Aaron is a very motivational and dedicated professional genuinely interested in helping you achieve your goals. Nothing is too much trouble ; writing programmes for me to do on my own, keeping track of my progress through weight and %body fat measurements and even regularly getting up at 6 am to do a session for me before work, on his day off.
His sessions and programmes are always varied and interesting with many smaller goals along the way to keep you motivated. His helpful tips about diet, meals and snacks and not beating yourself up if you have a bad week were all instrumental in the success achieved.
The result, I lost a total of 44 lbs, am now a size 10 (was 16/18) and am fitter and healthier than ever before. One most important effect - the amount of energy I now have to get on and enjoy life! If you are considering using a personal trainer than I can highly recommend Aaron.

The centre-back was omitted from Adams' 21-man squad for the weekend friendly win at Dereham and instead played 60 minutes for the development set-up in a 3-1 defeat at Boston United.
Bassong did not feature under Adams at the end of last season and speculation has suggested he could be moved on following their relegation from the Championship, but the Norwich boss insists no departures are imminent.
Adams has instead challenged Bassong to convince him that he should be involved with the first team.
"He is our player and if we feel we need to use him then we will," Adams said in the Norwich Evening News.
"He has trained and played with the development squad so far, but he is our player.
"There is nobody who is going at the minute, but it is my job to manage the squad and do that for every situation.
"Seb played at Boston and I will speak to the coaches to see how he has done and we'll take it from there."
Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Wes Hoolahan and Anthony Pilkington also missed the Dereham win, along with Martin Olsson, who had a shoulder problem at the end of last season but did not require surgery.
Adams said: "Ricky is fine. He didn't train on Friday but he trained on Saturday with the rest of those lads.
"Martin is looking sharp. He has not had to go and get the surgery on his shoulder. He had a family illness, which we don't obviously need to go into, but he was given a little bit of extra time off and he is back with us now and he is fine.
"He is just a little bit behind the squad but he will be at Braintree."

Elizabeth is a great caregiver for my kitties! They instantly bonded with her and she was very attentive to their needs.
I'll definitely be hiring her again :D
I'm so happy I found Elizabeth on Thumbtack. She's been walking my two dogs twice a week for the past few months and she's been reliable and very prompt with responding via email and text. My boys look forward to their walks with her.
Liz only walked my dogs for a month and quit. I did ask her in the beginning concerning the distance and she did not think it as a problems. After 2-3 weeks of walking my dogs, she just suddenly quit the job and gave me only one week notice. I had to rush in to find another dog walker. I don't think I can trust her service in future.
I offered to do at least two weeks notice so the customer would have time to find a new dog walker. Unfortunately, the conditions of the home were not a comfortable working environment for me so I needed to end my commitment.
We have used Elizabeth and Stephen twice this year to look after our two cats while on breaks away from home and would definitely recommend them to anyone with pets. They are always thoughtful and helped put our mind at ease while away by sending us a photo of the cats chilling :)
it was so nice to have peace of mind when while we were away that our cat was being taken care of. Elizabeth was so great and updated us when we asked. I will definitely be utilizing her services again!
Great experience. Elizabeth is very reliable and took the time to meet my baby and me before I went away. She was very prompt and made sure she was able to access the property and do other things like water plants and get mail. She sent updates while I was away so I knew how my baby was doing.
They were great with the cats, gave them their pills and took care of specific requests about the cat boxes.
Elizabeth was just wonderful. Very outgoing, great with my 1 year-old dog, and she listened to my needs and flexible with her time if it was possible. I'd definitely recommend her.
Elizabeth and Steven did a phenomenal job taking care of our 14 week old labradoodle Monty and our 7 year old Jack Russell Terrier Cooper. Because of Monty's age they stayed in our home which was not something we were initially comfortable with until we met Elizabeth. She immediately put us at ease with her professionalism and friendly nature. While the dogs were under their care we received consistent updates on what they were up to. We had a change of schedule and they were incredibly accommodating. Before they left they changed out sheets, cleaned up and left a really nice note...from the dogs. I would highly recommend Pawsitively Purrfect to anyone who needs pet sitting.
Elizabeth is the best. She is professional, fun, reliable, and extremely committed to her work. She is awesome with my dogs.
I trust her to take walk and take care of my dogs, and am thrilled to have met her.
I'm so happy we found Elizabeth through Thumbtack. She was wonderful with my dogs. I will not hesitate to use her services again.
We have been using the services of Pawsitively Purrfect Pet Care for about 14 years, that fact alone I think speaks highly of what they provide! I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that our beloved cats are well tended to as well as the security of our home in our absence. We request one visit daily during which time the cats are fed, sand box cleaned and there is also some playtime which gives companionship. I like the idea that someone lightly checks the interior of the house in case there should be any maintenance mishaps. Being a bonded professional business I have no problem having Elizabeth retain a key and that way is easily available when needed.
Elizabeth is fabulous. We had a new puppy and an older dog and she bonded with both of them very quickly....She is kind, responsible, on time, and very reliable. She understands dogs very well and what they need. Our dogs are high energy and she walked them alot when she sat, and taught them to be better on leads....what a nice gift....
Our family and our canines can not say enough good things about Eilzabeth....having her help is priceless.
I feel very lucky to have such wonderful customers who have become great friends.
We have used Pawsitively Purrfect for more than 10 years. We have always felt very secure leaving our pets in their care. They are extremely accomdating and very pleasant to work with.
Andy takes care of my cat Zeke and does a wonderful job. Zeke is always in a good mood when I get home - even when I'm gone a week! A great sign that Zeke is getting wonderful attention and care.
It's great being back to pet sitting Zeke. Andy misses he and Juno but Steve, Aiden, and I love taking care of them.
Andy cares for my ragdoll cat, Olive, whenever I am out of town. He is very attentive to her and takes great care of her. I tend to be a nervous pet mom and Andy is always available by phone to give me an update when I need one. I really should not worry because she is so well cared for with Andy. Thanks Andy and the rest of the PAWS stafff. I don't know what I would do without you.
It's great to be back to pet sitting and I feel so blessed to have such great customers like Olive and her mom.
We have been using Pawsitively Purrfect for our cats for about 20 years. They have taken excellent care of our cats when we are away, even coaxing the shy ones to come out & play. They really spend time with our cats, as well as doing the other chores that you would expect (clean the litter box, take in the newspaper & mail, etc.) They leave us a nice long note for us to read when we return, telling us how our cats did while we were away. This is a personal service, with real people who truly care about our pets. I recommend them very highly.
A. We come to your home once or twice a day to feed, brush, play, and cleanup after your pet. Your dogs can be walked and pets can be given medication for no additional fee. We will bring in you mail, newspaper, adjust your lighting and draperies for home security, and will also water you plants and gardens. Our visits are about 30 to 40 minutes in length.
A. The number one thing to look for in hiring a pet sitter is to look at how long they have been in business. In our case we have been in business for more than 15 years. The longer a business has been around the more references they will have. This doesn't mean the newer business will not do a great job it is just there is more to look at in an older established business. I know we were a new business at one time, all I am saying is do your homework. The other thing to look at is the rate structure if the business is charging a fee that is out of line with the rest of the businesses, buyer beware. An example is if everyone is charging $20 per visit and someone else is charging $12. There is to much of a difference. Most of the time the business will not be a professional service(part time or on the side) or they will have just started. Do yourself a favor and check references very carefully. You want to make sure that the pet sitter will be there no matter what, whether they are sick or not, holidays, emergencies no matter what. The pets always come first. A professional pet sitter will always be there for your pets. Most pet sitters do a great job.
A. For me to give you the most accurate quote I need the following information: Dates of service you are looking for? Do you need one or two visits per day? What are your major cross streets where you live?
A. The thing we like most about our job is getting to spend time with the animals. We have 4 cats ourselves and we also foster puppies and cats. We love all animals, fish, lizards, snakes, cats, rats you name we love to be around them. The other thing is that we get to meet so many different types of animals that we normally wouldn't get a chance to take care of. We have taken care of poisonous frogs, snakes, birds, tropical fish, iguanas....
A. My favorite story about our business is the time we got locked out. We had a new customer that had multiple locks on the door. We didn't have keys for all the locks so the customer said that they wouldn't lock the one that we didn't have a key for. (that was our first mistake).
We went for our first visit and guess what? the lock was locked and we couldn't get in. The customer had 3 locks on the front door and the garage was locked. We walked around to the back and guess what we saw? There was a bedroom window open and a ladder was sitting right next to it! I helped Elizabeth(my wife) up the ladder and through the window.
The pets were a little freaked out but they all came around pretty quickly. The funniest thing was that was the very first pet sit that we had ever done. Our first customer over 16 years ago.
A. I have always wanted to work with animals but being a vet was not an option. I would not be able to handle the really sick and dying animals. In 1994 I read a copy of Cat Fancy magazine about the pet sitting profession and thought now this is for me. I can work with animals who look forward to seeing me and get to spend time playing and caring for more than I could ever have on my own. I do care for some sick animals once in a while giving them medication and fluids but because it is not part of my everyday routine so I am happy to care for them.

Hey! Now I have just gotten my 56002EVM to work and have been planning to have a MIDI interface in it someday. To me it seems that the secondary RS232 connection is almost dedicated to such use. Since you have built a MIDI interface to the EVM, I'd *LOVE* to see the specs and all the stuff--would you be kind enough to mail all the technical info to me or have it on a web page or an ftp server? Please please please :) -- -Jarno
