I've been looking for a guide on how to do a power mirror conversion. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find one...at least, one for the Focus. So, I figured that when I was ready to take the plunge, I'd document the steps I took in order to do this conversion.
Part one: Materials, hardware, and tools - oh my!
T20 Torx screwdriver (For some reason, the passenger side mirror I pulled had this screw in the lower left corner. The other one didn't.
If it wasn't for law enforcement & physics, I'd be unstoppable.
Step 1: Remove the corner piece that houses the manual mirror adjustment.
Step 2: Unbolting/screwing the old mirror.
normal sized ratchet/extension wont fit in the hole, it's kinda small) and remove those two bolts.
double & triple check to make sure you didn't miss a bolt (door handle) or screw (along the edge of the door panel).
ahead and plug in the black clip into the back of the switch - it's keyed, so it'll only fit one way.
mirror) into the bezel, then clip it into place.
Coming off the drivers side pig tail, you have yellow/violet, blue/yellow, and white/red.
pig tail on the other side.
You essentially match the colors up, with the exception of the white/red wire, which gets connected to the white/green wire.
You can verify this by looking at the schematic in the first part of this guide.
white/red wire and splice in the solid white wire.
it to the rubber grommet below it, to bring the extended wires into the cabin.
crimp connectors to connect to the pigtail.
a tab holding it into place.
Remove the screws, and gently pry the tab out to unclip it.
orange/yellow wire so you can use a vampire tap to splice into that orange/blue wire.
ignition on in order to use the mirrors.
After that, go ahead and test the mirrors to make sure they move in all directions.
If everything works like it should, go ahead and button up your doors, and you'll be good to go!
Q. How long did this take?
If your driver side mirror doesn't go up/down, check the blue/red wire/connection.
Q. Help! None of my mirrors work!
good connection. If that fails, check fuse #35 in your fuse panel (it's the fuse for the interior lights - if you look at the schematic, you'll see that that wire branches off into the interior lighting) If the fuse checks out fine, then go through your connections. It's possible that theres a bad connection, bad wire, bad switch, or heck, even a bad mirror.
Q. Hey... wait. I have two/four extra wires that aren't connected! What gives?
A. Depending on the color (Green/black, Green/orange, and 2 black) It seems that you bought/salvaged power mirrors that have the built in heater/de-fogger. The mirrors I salvaged from the junkyard didn't have the built in heaters/de-foggers.
Very good and detailed write-up! This should be added to the how-to archive.
Thanks! I hope it does. I know when I was searching for a guide, I noticed a lotta people were asking about them.
I'm gonna need this to do... my Mom's Egg Yolk Yellow '00: perfect!

Samsung has now officially announced that it will launch its new M series smartphones on January 28. Samsung made the announcement via its official Twitter account by sharing a teaser image. The upcoming Galaxy M series is most likely to include the Galaxy M10 (SM-M105F) and M20 (SM-M205F) smartphones. It is worth mentioning here that, the two devices recently received Wi-Fi and Bluetooth SIG certification.
However, Samsung didn’t reveal the devices which are expected to be announced at its upcoming launch event on January 28. However, the product page on Amazon shows only one device which we expect to be the Samsung Galaxy M10.
The Twitter post also confirms that the first M series devices will be available exclusively on Amazon.
The image in the tweet also reveals the device to come with a waterdrop Notch. We can also see the small earpiece just above the Notch. There also appears to be a powered the volume rocker keys placed at the right side. The Amazon listing shows the device to sport a dual rear camera setup. There is also a fingerprint sensor on the back.
On the bottom of the device, we have a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and speaker. The page also teases a powerful battery on the device. As for its color, the Amazon listing shows only a blue color variant of the device.
The pricing and the device name hasn’t been confirmed yet by the company.

Does anyone dehydrate their own meals for hiking? What kind of dehydrator do you use? What are some foods to avoid? What are some of your favorites?
Just wondering because I just ordered an Excalibur dehydrator and am looking for recipes for backpacking foods.
Chili, beef stew, various casseroles are what I typically dehydrate.
Thanks for the input! I have a feeling I am going to be developing a lot of my own recipes. I like to cook and experiment with food so it will be fun.
After these you will be creating your own recipes!
I have an excalibur, very fine dehydrator. Assuming you bought it new, it will come with a recipe book and great tips on how to dehydrate. I don't have recipes; I just dehydrate all types of veggies/fruits and meats. The closest thing I got to recipes are the concoctions I put together for marinades, (but I don't write them down) which can enhance the taste greatly.
However, I don’t marinade much of the stuff for a long hike (only for stuff I do for home), because I just got too much stuff to mess with marinades. Of course this doesn’t include meat/poultry -- ALWAYS MARINADE MEAT/POULTRY -- marinades are an important process to ensure the meat stays bacteria free.
Lean ground beef, browned, drained, rinsed (yeah, rinsed), dehydrated. Packs light, rehydrates wonderfully, and works in so many trail meals - ramens, mac & cheeze, potatoes, everything.
For meat, lean ground beef works real well. Just cook it up drain it and put in in the dehydrator. I have a Nesco with the 'fruit roll up trays" they are solid so nothing falls through the tray. When drying stuff one way to have a better chance at being successful is to dry food with low fat content, the higher the fat content the better chance at it going rancid. Don't add butter or oils to the foods and always get the leanest meat available. Beans, corn, peas, work well. You can put them in right out of the bag if you buy them frozen. Dry these items separately and you can add them to supplement store bought foods on a hike.
You will find lots of backpacking recipes using dehydrated ingredients on my website. I use an Excalibur Dehydrator.
You guys are great! Thanks for all of the tips, my dehydrator will be here tomorrow! I will definitely check out backingchef.com.
In a dehydrator, which is a machine that removes all the hydro (water) from the food. You can buy these or make them. My grandmother used to make dehydrated foods by putting the food between screens and putting them out in the hot sun. We have a Sunbeam, which works great.
Thanks for the plug Russ. While I do really like my own book, the other that you posted, Backpack Gourmet, is a wonderful resource as well.
If the original poster has any questions I'd be more than happy to help.
Thanks LauriAnn, I may just buy both books, I have been dehydrating all kinds of food! What great fun! I just discovered how stinky it is to try and dehydrate broccoli!!!!
On an impulse, I bought an Oster brand food dehydrator when I was in Wal-Mart one day. It only cost me a mere $40, and is pretty much bargain basement special.... but I'll have to say, I'm pretty glad I bought it.
I was thinking about getting a better one like the Excalibur, but then decided that I want to maybe build my own, as I am looking to "stockpile" dehydrated food in mass quantities for when I live "off the grid." But for the time being, my cheap little Oster brand is good for experimentation purposes.
Here is a decent YouTube channe (http://www.youtube.com/dehydrate2store) which specializes in instructing people on the art and science of food dehydrating.
Thusfar, I have only experimented making "soup mixes," dehydrated chili, as well as a beef/turkey stew kind of thing with some combination of noodles and "one minute" rice. I used a variety of freeze dried meats from the different freeze dried food suppliers combined with dried gravy packets (and dried chili packets for the chili) which you can get at just about any supermarket (McCormicks brand 'seasoning mixes,' or there is usually also a 'store' brand of these things, for about $89 cents apiece.
. I have not tried dehydrating the meat yet myself. Kind of afraid to leave meat exposed on the counter in the machine for 24 hours... afraid it might pick up bacteria from sitting there.... but I'll experiment with that later.
Dehydrating jerky is simple. To ease your fear of the meat getting contaminated try this method that I use.
1) Top shelf London Broil meat, Its low in fat.
3) Mix in w/ your jerky mix over night.
4) Place on cookie sheet and bake @ 350* for only ten min. in your home oven. Blot off dry w/ paper towel.
No risk of spoiling because they were allready cooked in the oven.
Oh-oh !! I'm new to dehydrating too- do you have to first cook the meat conventionally (10 mins. in 350 degree oven) ? Made jerky just a few times and didn't cook it previously, but kept it in a 'fridge after I jerkyed it as we tested (munched on) it.
When you purchase a dehydrator they usually come with a "cookbook", many of which recommend that you pre-cook (or sometimes post-cook) the meat, especially poultry. I never do (start dehydration with completly raw meat/poultry) and I don't refrigerate nor do I vacuum seal. I just keep in a dark cool space and have eaten chicken jerky that was about a year-old.
However, the marinade process (with ample amount of salt), IMHO, is cruicial to keeping bacteria growth under control. No matter how lean, most meat has some fat, which will liquify during the dehydration process and you can blot away with a napkin. However, not all fat will melt away, to do this one would have to over-dehydrate the meat, devoiding it of most of its nutritional value.
I have a certain chili recipe I make which uses a can of Bush baked beans (different flavors), and I'm looking to see if I can make a dehydrated version of my concoction for use on the trails. Most of the other ingredients in my chili I can dehydrate no problem..... but the can of beans.... I need to figure out how to do that. It's not the beans, obviously.... those are easy to dehydrate.... but its specifically the tasty liquid in the can of beans that I need to dehydrate.
I was thinking about maybe separating the beans from the juice, dehydrating the beans as normal in my dehydrator.... and then putting the liquid from the can spread out on a tray in my oven.... with the door partially open to let the moisture escape... and then seeing if I can turn all that liquid into some kind of..... whatever.... some kind of dried out substance like a Fruit roll up.... where I can just add the water back to it later to reconstitute the sauce.
Same question I have for tomato sauce..... I reckon if anyone knows how to dehydrate tomato sauce, it would probably be the same as dehydrating the liquid in the can of beans.
I'll be using the food dehydrator specifically in drying veggies and fruits. I find my Excalibur works perfectly for me. After experimenting for some time with dehydrated foods, I've discovered that outside of dried fruits/veggies, crackers & onion bread, I don't put it to much use, so a 4-trayer is ideal. None of them compare to the Excaliber. Well worth it.
I can never get celery to reconstitute to it's original shape. This is beginning to irritate me. It's a small nitpick, but it's bugging me.
I have not tried enough kinds of vegetables to see which other ones don't reconstitute properly, but I have tried celery multiple times, using different blanching lengths and times... and it always reconstitutes basically "flat." It doesn't regain its curved shape, like it originally had. It also tends to be stringier too, in taste, but that bugs me less than the shape.
Corn and carrots seem to reconstitute to almost identical their original shape.... but celery.... grrrr.... I am now resigned to the fact that I shall just have to supplement my dehydrated celery with freeze dried celery which is much more expensive. The freeze dried stuff should retain the same shape, since it's not as shriveled up as dehydrated food, and resembles more the original look.
I tried many veggie dishes, I have not tried to dehydrate noodle/pasta since I wasn't sure if they would dry properly or not. I have stayed away from meats since I tend to buy the cheap stuff and know they have more fat then the leaner stuff.
I do have some precooked ham I going to try and dehydrate and make my own bean/ham/tater soup.
Fruits no problem,Right now dehydrating water melon and see how they turned out. Bannana chips and apple chips are awesome with some walnuts/pecans.
I want to try Yogurt,but not sure how to properly do it right.

Discussion in 'Cat Behavior' started by ScarlettSkater, Apr 21, 2018.
I've written on this board quite a bit, and quite frankly, I'm frustrated, concerned, and confused over the behavior of my littermate Siamese kittens, and I'm hoping someone can help advise.
As some of you may know, I am the owner of 5-month-old Siamese, Luna, a female seal point, and Artemis, a male chocolate point, and they are littermates as mentioned above. They have always been loving, bonded to each other (often to the exclusion of their humans), and the best of friends. In fact, I often remarked that they got along better than most human siblings! However, that changed after yesterday.
Both were scheduled for spaying/neutering yesterday. As is usually the case, I was able to get Luna into her crate (which is actually the size of a small apartment: it can fit not just the two of them, but a litter box, bedding, etc with plenty of room to spare), but Artemis could not be caught. This happened a few weeks ago, when we took them on a "trip to grandma's house", (a five-hour trip one way). They loved being there, but while I was able to catch Luna easily, Artemis took THREE HOURS to catch. So this is hardly news.
So Luna went to get spayed, and we have to figure out a way to get Artemis there (which I ask about later in this thread,) but when she returned, Artemis started acting antagonistically. I realize he was stressed from the multiple "catching attempts" so I get why he would hiss and growl at me, but when he started doing it full-time from his perch in my boxspring (where he goes when he gets freaked out) to the point I could hear it even with the tv on, I knew something was wrong. I was further reminded of this when I saw him growling louder when Luna came near, which she did, not realizing that her brother was being hostile towards her, hissing at her, and even swiping at her if she didn't get the hint.
Obviously, I didn't want her hurt, especially in her condition, so I did what others in this forum recommended in similar situations, finally getting Artemis to move to my mom's bedroom down the hall and keeping the door closed so he stays in there, while Luna stays with me. Despite what everyone has said she should do, she still climbs a bit to get on my bed (which I'm trying to discourage, don't want her messing up her stitches) but both are relatively better now, despite crying all night for each other.
To add to the problem, I don't think the cats were very well socialized. While they did come from a breeder, they also were in their own "wing" with three adult cats, (mom, dad, and aunt) and other than cursory visits from the breeder to feed them, replace their litter, etc, I don't think they had much socialization. So all the tools listed in this article work for folks whose cats let them near, but not necessarily in my circumstance. I did rub a towel on Luna to try to get the "vet stink" off, but good luck getting anywhere near Artemis to get his scent to rub on her! I even had to raise my voice at him to get him away from her (they were under the bed, so I couldn't physically seperate them) which I hate to do in their traumatized state.
My next challenge will be getting Artemis to the vet, since he is the one who is hardest to catch. The irony is, I have the crate out all the time as sort of a "Cabana" for them, and he loves hanging out in there...when we don't need him to be there. I'm wondering how that's going to go, and if Luna will suddenly start acting hostile towards him because of the "vet smells" and if this will have to start all over again.
I've kind of been going crazy over here (in case you haven't noticed lol) and not sure what to make of all this.
1) How long should I keep them apart? I think this article said "a few days" but I'm not sure what worked for your cats, specifically Siamese? To clarify, there will be someone with each of them 95% of the time, my mom and I are keeping an eye on both, especially Luna, until she heals.
2) Is socialization only possible during a window of time, as one vet suggested, or is there still hope? I can only really pet/hold Luna when she's in repose, or if she's not actively playing, but Artemis is my loveable coward who is seemingly afraid of everyone and everything, so only lets me pet him when he's in repose/sleepy and even then, if I move my other arm as if to lift him, he freaks out. In the two months I've had them, I have lifted Luna countless times, but only lifted Artemis a few, after which he wriggled out of my grasp. Any suggestions?
3) Will they get any more social towards me? Part of the reason I wanted Siamese is because they are supposedly "vocal", yet perhaps because of Luna and Artemis' bond, they only seem to chat with each other, no matter how much I speak to them. I'm honestly a bit disappointed that they are relatively aloof and not super-social....any suggestions?
4) For the lovely experience of trying to get Artemis to the vet, I read on this forum about gabapentin to mellow him out - anyone with Siamese experienced with this? I know pedigree cats tend to be high-strung and more sensitive (these cats eat better than most humans I know) so I wasn't sure if they are a good idea....I would of course ask my vet for the prescription, but wanted to get the Siamese perspective before I ask.
Thanks again everyone, and sorry for the rambling, I'm really worried about the kitties and want to make sure I do everything correctly. In case you didn't notice, these are my first kitties, and they are quite a challenge!
Your kitten's smelling the vet on the other kitty. Cats know each other by scent and since your kitty doesn't smell like himself anymore, he thinks its a stranger on his territory.
Try using a small amount of baby powder. Put some on your hand and rub on all cats heads and behind the ears. It neutralizes the smell. Works well for me and usually works quickly.
Cats personality can change as they get older. One of my cat (not a siamese) was not cuddly or affectionate, but the older he got, the more loving and vocal he became.

A few drops of real vanilla extract on both cats may also help.
I know that what your vet said is the acknowledged current thinking, but we've had more than one member here successfully turn a street cat into a house cat with time and patience. At least one was, to all intents and purposes, a true feral. Don't give up, but do be aware that the socialization at this point will be a longer, slower process. There may well be setbacks, so don't let that discourage you!

I second the vanilla. REAL vanilla extract on both cats. Just give them time, you could feed them on opposite sides of the door so they have a pleasant experience near each other. Sorry you are going through this with your kittens. Sounds like an awful breeder selling under socialized cats.
As far as catching Artemis, since he is young we can try a couple of things that don’t work as well on older and more wary kitties. I would start feeding him a treat he loves by putting it in the bathtub or shower area and I would store cat carrier In the same room for at least a few days prior to vet day. You could in fact try putting the treat in the carrier but he may not fall for that. Anyway, once he is happily eating you shut the bathroom door and in that small space with limited places to hide you should be able to capture him and stick him in the carrier. Top loading carriers work best, if you have a front loader only then tip it on end and drop him in feet first.

I have litter mates that are best pals, but when one goes to the vet and comes home, it's 2-3 days of slapping, screaming, hissing, etc., and no blood shed nor a hair out of place. Lots of noise, no damage, but it's stressful for the slap-ee and the cat being yelled at (not to mention being jolted awake at 1:45 AM to a somewhat melodramatic cat scream), so we do keep them separated for a few days til everyone's cool.
The vanilla thing is really, really good to know.
For us, giving the cats time to relax, calm down, get a good meal and take a good, long bath is the best start.
IME litter mates ARE like siblings in humans. They play together, sleep at the same time, eat side by side, but can argue and fight like crazy. Unless there's serious targeting behavior and someone is being bullied unfairly, or there's any kind of "real" fighting, I wouldn't worry too much but just keep them separate for awhile and let them calm a bit.
Does Artemis love food? I'd start by feeding him any and all meals in a crate, door open. If he won't go in, feed him near it, then the bowl at the entrance, then just over the entrance threshold until he's happy to go in and out for food. If we're trapping semi-ferals for SN's, this method works well to catch 4-5 at a time in a large dog-type crate.

Thank you! After keeping them away from each other for about a week and a half, everything was fine again and they are now getting along. I did finally catch Artemis, but he's still weird and I'm posting a separate question about how to socialize him better. Luna is the loveable one!
Oh, good. These things often settle down with time and patience.
Funny you say this. I started working on "socializing" Luna a month ago. Then, she was reluctant to be held, and would only let me hold her for very short periods of time - 30 seconds, 1 minute, at the most. I went away to visit family with both her and Artemis and while I was there, worked to increase the amount of time she would consent to be held. I think I got up to 2 minutes. When I returned home, the time started to increase more; then she got spayed, so I had to separate her from Artemis so she could heal. That's when things changed: she started to become much more friendly, and wanted me to pet her 10, 20 minutes at a time! She would flop in front of me, knead whatever she could, bonk my hand with her head, and rub against me to encourage this.
However, Artemis is tricky. I'm still having a difficult time with him - sometimes he lets me pet him, but most of the time, he runs away whenever I come near. It's not just me either, the rest of my family has the same experience. I'm posting a separate thread about that.
This is awesome, thank you! I'm especially excited about the last one, still trying to get Artemis to be more affectionate and less skittish, so I'll check it out.
This is good to know for the future. In the end, time was the answer. Now they are back together with no problems.
I really liked the breeder, it was the vet who suggested that perhaps they were not ideally socialized. Seeing Luna behaving so affectionately now, I'm not sure that's the case. Artemis is still a little weirdo though, but I'm wondering if that's personality more than anything else.
And I see now that the lack of recognition post-vet-visit is normal, so that's reassuring. It was mostly because I had never had two cats before, so had never seen the dynamic change so abruptly. Thanks for the help!
This is great, thank you! The only issue is, my bathroom has a washer and a dryer. Because of mandates, we needed a special filter for energy efficiency so they are away from the wall which gives kitties even more space to squeeze behind them. I don't even allow them in there too much for that reason.
What worked for me, (finally) was getting Artemis out in the small hallway between our rooms. We blocked any furniture he could squeeze behind and put his favorite tunnel (he likes to hide there whenever he's frightened, which seems to be most of the time). Then when he went into the tunnel, my mom picked it up, folding it so he couldn't get out, and I opened the door into the bathroom (where the carrier was hidden) so we could put him in. Before that, we had given him a light sedative. Honestly, it didn't seem to help much, it slowed him down but not much, but perhaps it did help and I just didn't notice. Anyway, that's what eventually worked for us. Now both seem to have recovered and are back to being buddies!
Funny story - Artemis LOVES food and LOVES his pet carrier - when I don't need him in it, that is. He actually sleeps in his carrier (I call it his cabana because it is large and covered with fabric over a frame), and considers it a great place to hide out.
The kitties still spar, but not maliciously but more like playful tussling. Of course, I watch to make sure it doesn't get out of hand, since Artemis is larger and about two pounds heavier than Luna, but for the most part they are super comfortable with each other now.
Sounds as if things are well under control now!
As for Artemis, some cats are just less hands-on than others. Hekitty would barely let me touch her when she was much younger. As she has become a middle aged cat, she is far more affectionate.

Discussion in ' Cat Behavior ' started by ScarlettSkater , Apr 21 , 2018 .
 I 've written on this board quite a bit , and quite frankly , I 'm frustrated , concerned , and confused over the behavior of my littermate Siamese kittens , and I 'm hoping someone can help advise .
 As some of you may know , I am the owner of 5 - month - old Siamese , Luna , a female seal point , and Artemis , a male chocolate point , and they are littermates as mentioned above . They have always been loving , bonded to each other ( often to the exclusion of their humans ) , and the best of friends . In fact , I often remarked that they got along better than most human siblings ! However , that changed after yesterday .
 Both were scheduled for spaying / neutering yesterday . As is usually the case , I was able to get Luna into her crate ( which is actually the size of a small apartment : it can fit not just the two of them , but a litter box , bedding , etc with plenty of room to spare ) , but Artemis could not be caught . This happened a few weeks ago , when we took them on a " trip to grandma 's house " , ( a five - hour trip one way ) . They loved being there , but while I was able to catch Luna easily , Artemis took THREE HOURS to catch . So this is hardly news .
 So Luna went to get spayed , and we have to figure out a way to get Artemis there ( which I ask about later in this thread , ) but when she returned , Artemis started acting antagonistically . I realize he was stressed from the multiple " catching attempts " so I get why he would hiss and growl at me , but when he started doing it full - time from his perch in my boxspring ( where he goes when he gets freaked out ) to the point I could hear it even with the tv on , I knew something was wrong . I was further reminded of this when I saw him growling louder when Luna came near , which she did , not realizing that her brother was being hostile towards her , hissing at her , and even swiping at her if she did n't get the hint .
 Obviously , I did n't want her hurt , especially in her condition , so I did what others in this forum recommended in similar situations , finally getting Artemis to move to my mom 's bedroom down the hall and keeping the door closed so he stays in there , while Luna stays with me . Despite what everyone has said she should do , she still climbs a bit to get on my bed ( which I 'm trying to discourage , do n't want her messing up her stitches ) but both are relatively better now , despite crying all night for each other .
 To add to the problem , I do n't think the cats were very well socialized . While they did come from a breeder , they also were in their own " wing " with three adult cats , ( mom , dad , and aunt ) and other than cursory visits from the breeder to feed them , replace their litter , etc , I do n't think they had much socialization . So all the tools listed in this article work for folks whose cats let them near , but not necessarily in my circumstance . I did rub a towel on Luna to try to get the " vet stink " off , but good luck getting anywhere near Artemis to get his scent to rub on her ! I even had to raise my voice at him to get him away from her ( they were under the bed , so I could n't physically seperate them ) which I hate to do in their traumatized state .
 My next challenge will be getting Artemis to the vet , since he is the one who is hardest to catch . The irony is , I have the crate out all the time as sort of a " Cabana " for them , and he loves hanging out in there ... when we do n't need him to be there . I 'm wondering how that 's going to go , and if Luna will suddenly start acting hostile towards him because of the " vet smells " and if this will have to start all over again .
 I 've kind of been going crazy over here ( in case you have n't noticed lol ) and not sure what to make of all this .
 1 ) How long should I keep them apart ? I think this article said " a few days " but I 'm not sure what worked for your cats , specifically Siamese ? To clarify , there will be someone with each of them 95 % of the time , my mom and I are keeping an eye on both , especially Luna , until she heals .
 2 ) Is socialization only possible during a window of time , as one vet suggested , or is there still hope ? I can only really pet / hold Luna when she 's in repose , or if she 's not actively playing , but Artemis is my loveable coward who is seemingly afraid of everyone and everything , so only lets me pet him when he 's in repose / sleepy and even then , if I move my other arm as if to lift him , he freaks out . In the two months I 've had them , I have lifted Luna countless times , but only lifted Artemis a few , after which he wriggled out of my grasp . Any suggestions ?
 3 ) Will they get any more social towards me ? Part of the reason I wanted Siamese is because they are supposedly " vocal " , yet perhaps because of Luna and Artemis ' bond , they only seem to chat with each other , no matter how much I speak to them . I 'm honestly a bit disappointed that they are relatively aloof and not super - social .... any suggestions ?
 4 ) For the lovely experience of trying to get Artemis to the vet , I read on this forum about gabapentin to mellow him out - anyone with Siamese experienced with this ? I know pedigree cats tend to be high - strung and more sensitive ( these cats eat better than most humans I know ) so I was n't sure if they are a good idea .... I would of course ask my vet for the prescription , but wanted to get the Siamese perspective before I ask .
 Thanks again everyone , and sorry for the rambling , I 'm really worried about the kitties and want to make sure I do everything correctly . In case you did n't notice , these are my first kitties , and they are quite a challenge !
 Your kitten 's smelling the vet on the other kitty . Cats know each other by scent and since your kitty does n't smell like himself anymore , he thinks its a stranger on his territory .
 Try using a small amount of baby powder . Put some on your hand and rub on all cats heads and behind the ears . It neutralizes the smell . Works well for me and usually works quickly .
 Cats personality can change as they get older . One of my cat ( not a siamese ) was not cuddly or affectionate , but the older he got , the more loving and vocal he became .

I took the test and waited 15 minutes . It was only one line.
I then threw it away . Would you see any changes after this timeframe? I noticed when I saw it in the bin some pink orange discoloration at the bottom of the strip. The solid control line was the only solid line though. Is that the solution seeping through?

What does a collector look for in a Ferrari? This issue, we learn the answer to this and other fascinating questions from Prancing Horse collector Jon Shirley whose cars include the 1954 375 MM Scaglietti Coupé that won Best of Show at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance at the exclusive Carmel golf club last August. “All Ferraris are marvellous,” says Shirley, “but the ones I like have a backstory that makes them unique. It could be because of victories on the track or famous previous owners, as is the case with the 375 Scaglietti Coupé that won at Pebble Beach and once belonged to the great director, Roberto Rossellini”.

Tesco Law, will it affect you and if so how?
In October the Alternative Business Structure will come into force. Commonly dubbed “Tesco Law ” this is likely to change the face of the legal profession.
How will it affect solicitors and legal firms?
It is not likely to be the “Big Bang” feared by some but it will have an effect. What that effect will be is not clear yet but we do know what the aim of the change is and that is to increase competition and innovation. Most solicitors now have a website but finding them is the difficulty. With this in mind Pali Ltd (Property And Land Information) have created Pali Law.
This enables the public to ask a question online which is automatically directed to a solicitor specialising in that subject. There is no charge for the initial contact as the hope is to get a new client. Where Pali Law differs from other such websites is in being location and topic specific.
The site automatically filters the enquiry by topic and location so that the questioner is contacting a solicitor specialising in the subject and as close as possible to the postcode of the questioner.
Pali has been providing a service to solicitors since 1999. It has a central ordering and case management system which also provides conveyancing leads to its clients. All of this is free of charge and it is hoped that Pali Law will put the company and its clients in a position to react to any opportunities which arise through “Tesco Law”.

The temperature history the ice cores record reveal are not only temperatures that are both substantially cooler and warmer than current ones, but that temperatures naturally have periods of "accelerating" movement over extended periods. Finally, the Greenland ice sheets that the ice cores came from obviously survived much higher temperatures without sliding into the sea, as global warming alarmists claim will happen by 2100.

The IUCN Red List did a study on 473 of the aquatic plants in the Mediterranean. The organization determined that of these, at least 15 percent are at risk of becoming extinct. Along with threatened native plants, the Mediterranean also has introduced aquatic flora. Pollution, degradation of the sea biome and invasive species all play a part in affecting Mediterranean aquatic plants.
Water pennywort, also called marsh pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris), is an aquatic plant species found in the Mediterranean. Although native to North African and European regions, it is not endemic, or not found exclusively, in the Mediterranean. The 5-inch-wide leaves, shaped like rounded shields, float above the water's surface. Water pennywort blooms to produce inconspicuous white flowers. They are not at risk in the Mediterranean biome.
White lotus, also called Egyptian white water lily (Nymphaea Lotus), is found in stagnant waters in the Mediterranean region. Native to the Nile River, it has been introduced to the Mediterranean biome. Flower stems branch from floating lily pads at heights of up to 20 inches. Flower blossoms are white, multi-petaled and star-shaped. White lotus is endangered in the Mediterranean.
Water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) is an invasive species in the Mediterranean basin originally from South America. According to the IUCN Red List, water hyacinths double their population every two weeks in the Mediterranean. The plant's leathery, long leaves float above the water, preventing sunlight from penetrating, which affects the ecosystem below. Water hyacinth also outcompetes native aquatic plants and interferes with boat traffic. This species produces showy blue-violet blossoms. Six-petaled flowers form an elongated clump or tube on the top portion of the stem.
Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica) is presently only found in the Mediterranean and in the southern waters of Australia. It may be found at depths from 15 to 165 feet. Its ribbon-shaped grass blades slowly grow along horizontal rhizomes to form underwater meadows. Unfortunately, it is being severely outcompeted by Caulerpa taxifolia, an introduced aquatic green alga. Caulerpa taxifolia was introduced from the Caribbean and has quickly become prolific in the Mediterranean. Its feathery, green blades form invasive masses. According to the Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, in areas it establishes itself, it is able to kill 45 percent of the Neptune grass population per year.

Bay Area home prices hit another record high in April.
Bay Area home prices set another record for the second straight month in April, as the median climbed to $850,000. That’s up 2.4 percent from March and 13.3 percent from April of last year, according to a CoreLogic report released Thursday.
It was the ninth consecutive month of double-digit year-over-year increases. Over the last six months, those gains have averaged 13.2 percent, compared to a year-over-year gain of 6.5 percent during the same period a year ago.
This year’s price rise is especially remarkable when you consider that mortgage rates have risen almost three-quarters of a point over the past year. The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage hit 4.66 percent this week, its highest since the week of May 5, 2011, Freddie Mac said Thursday. The current rate is up from 4.61 percent last week an 3.95 percent a year ago.
There is “no question that rising rates will price out people who were just on the bubble to qualify for a mortgage,” said Garrett Frakes, a managing partner with Polaris Pacific, which markets newly built condos.
But rising rates could also be contributing to the upward spiral in home prices, by choking off some supply.
“What you have here is sellers simply not putting their homes on the market. We are seeing this in single family homes and condos,” Frakes said.
There are several reasons for this. Many people are reluctant to sell because they’re afraid they won’t be able to buy a replacement home in the Bay Area.
And some long-time homeowners have an aversion to paying capital gains tax on highly appreciated homes, or giving up their low property tax base.
Rising rates are keeping some people in their homes. “If you refinanced three or four years ago at 3.75 percent, you don’t necessarily want to go out and buy a new home and pay 4.75 percent,” Frakes said.
Instead of moving, more people are choosing to renovate their existing home. “When you have low inventory, it tends to support itself,” he added.
The CoreLogic report includes all newly built and existing single-family homes and condos in the nine-county Bay Area. The data comes from recorder’s offices and includes homes that were not listed on a Multiple Listing Service before they were sold. These off-MLS sales account for at least a fifth of home sales in some areas.
It showed that 7,497 homes homes and condos sold in April, which was up 4.5 percent from March and up 8.2 percent year over year. Sales typically climb between March and April, by 5 percent on average over the long run. The 8.2 percent year-over-year climb is encouraging, but the number sold was still 15.8 percent below the long-run (since 1988) average for April.
For the fifth consecutive month, Santa Clara County had the biggest year-over-year price gain — 23.3 percent. Prices there, however, fell 5.8 percent from March, the Bay Area’s biggest month-to-month drop. That could reflect some buyer exhaustion in a region where high-paying tech jobs are plentiful tear-downs go for millions of dollars.
Coldwell Banker Realtor Cheryl Rivera Smith has two identical side-by-side tear-downs in Mountain View on the market. The homes are about 1,000 square feet each and in such bad shape buyers aren’t allowed inside. “But they’re within walking distance to Google,” Smith said.
The owner of both homes wants to sell them for $3 million each, but that includes the land and a new home to be built by local contractor Fred Weaver. Without a new home, the existing properties would cost around $1.9 million each, Smith said.
She held an open house over the weekend, except the homes weren’t open. Instead, Weaver showed plans to prospective buyers in the driveway.

Do you ever let a day go by without talking? Each day that you have breath in your body, you get up, start your day and at some point, you open your mouth to start talking. You talk here, there and every where. You talk to your spouse, friends, family, co-workers and even to strangers. The question for this week is will you talk to Jesus with your spouse?
It sounds crazy to even think about going through a day without talking doesn’t it? It is even more crazy to let the day go by without praying with your spouse. Prayer is simply talking to God. Take time to talk to God about your spouse, your children, your life, your decisions and your plans. God can accomplish so much in us, our marriage and our relationships when we pray together. James 5:16b says, “. . .The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Yes, you can pray alone but there is something so powerful about a husband and a wife coming together to pray.
Why Should You Pray With Your Spouse Every Day?
Since the enemy knows all of this, he does everything that he can to keep a husband and a wife from praying together. Don’t let him succeed with this in your marriage. Little prayer, little power, much prayer, much power. Pray with your spouse every day!
ps I will be releasing a new book soon, “Embracing Excellence.” If you are in the metropolitan area, please meet me at Barnes & Noble (Bowie) on Wednesday, December 16th (6:00-8:00). If you can not attend and would like to get a copy, you can pre-order, going to carolyntatem.com and click on pre-order. Thank you for reading!

Due to a sharp decline in metallurgical coal exports, as well as a near weeklong disruption at the Port of Virginia from Hurricane Florence, US coal exports fell to a six-month low 8.6 million mt in September, down 5.7% from 9.12 million mt in August, but were capped off by thermal exports, which were at the highest level since March 2013, US Census Bureau data showed. However, the latest month was up 6.6% from 8.07 million mt shipped out in the year-ago month. Thermal coal exports were at 4.9 million mt, up 23.2% from August and 56% higher year on year. It was the highest monthly export volume since 5.5 million mt was shipped out in March 2013.
It was also the second time in three months and only the fourth time in the last six years that thermal coal exports exceeded metallurgical coal shipments (July 2018, February 2015 and October 2012).
Year-to-date thermal exports are at 37.03 million mt, up 44.4% from the first nine months of 2017, due to five of the six largest thermal coal importers -- India, South Korea, Mexico, Japan and Egypt -- seeing over seven-year highs. The Netherlands was the only country to see a yearly decrease.
Thermal exports out of Baltimore nearly doubled in September to 1.23 million mt, up 95% month on month and the highest in over seven years. Shipments out of New Orleans also jumped 19.5% month on month to 1.81 million mt, which were also the most since 2.14 million mt was exported in July 2012.
Bituminous exports to 26 different countries totaled 4.26 million mt in September, up 29.9% month on month and 74.9% from a year ago.
India received the largest volume of bituminous coal at 1.22 million mt, up 53.2% from 796,394 mt a month earlier. The Netherlands also imported 844,553 mt of bituminous coal in September, up fourfold from 209,341 mt in August and the highest since 911,415 mt in February 2017, while 460,062 mt was shipped to the UK, up 114% from August and the most since 487,412 mt in January 2015.
Subbituminous exports were at 622,812 mt, down 2.3% from 637,339 mt from a month earlier but up 6.4% from the year-ago month.
South Korea received 301,787 mt, or 48.4%, of the total subbituminous exports in September, down from 453,191 mt, or 71.1%, a month earlier. Mexico imported 163,499 mt, up from 153,550 mt a month earlier, while India imported 82,659 mt, its first subbituminous exports since 44,000 mt in July 2017.

In 2006, the government of the Indian state of Bihar introduced an innovative program that aimed to improve school access and reduce the gender gap in secondary school enrollment by providing girls who continued to secondary school with a bicycle. This paper evaluates the bicycle program and measures its impact on girls’ access to secondary schools in Bihar.
Using data from a large household survey, the researchers employ a triple difference approach for the evaluation, using boys and the neighbouring state of Jharkhand as comparison groups. They find that the Cycle program was successful in increasing girls’ enrollment in secondary schools. Being in the Cycle program increased girls’ age-appropriate enrollment in secondary school by 30% and reduced the gender gap in enrollment by 40%. This increase in enrollment mostly took place in villages where the nearest secondary school was further away, suggesting that program impact was driven by the reduced time and safety cost of school attendance made possible by the bicycle.
The study also finds that the Cycle program was substantially more cost effective at increasing girls’ enrollment than comparable conditional cash transfer programs in South Asia. This suggests that the Cycle program may have resulted in additional positive outcomes beyond the cash value of the program, including improved safety for girls cycling to school in groups and changes in patriarchal social norms that proscribed female mobility outside the village.
