Performance Chips will Increase Gas Mileage

With today's inflated gasoline prices we all find ourselves searching for ways to cut corners when it comes to how many of our dollars go to the gas pumps. I have actually encountered people that do not want to invest in aftermarket accessories now that gas prices are high. This honestly baffles me for a lack of a better term. There are many great aftermarket accessories that will help increase your MPG.

One performance accessory that you can justify purchasing due to the simple fact it will pay for itself with the money you will save in gas is a performance chip or power programmer. A chip or programmer will enhance your truck's performance. All vehicles come with a special computer chip that controls your engine's output, particularly in the area of fuel delivery. A performance chip will help your vehicle realize a much more efficient delivery of fuel to your engine at specified times in the course of driving. This will result in noticeable increases in horsepower as well as torque.

Top name brands in the aftermarket performance chip arena include Edge Products, Superchips Inc, Diablo Sport and Bully Dog. What I would recommend is finding an online store such as Thoroughbreddiesel.com that specializes in performance products. Ask them any question you may have. Each programmer option will serve different results based on your vehicle. Do your homework and you will be unable to deny the fact that a performance chip or programmer is a great investment for your vehicle.

Male Cat Behavior Problems - How to Stop Your Tom Cat's Bad Behavior

Owners of male cats face extra challenges as their tomcats often have additional behavior problems compared to female cats. The first of these is that they are more active and need to find the companionship of female cats. As a side-effect of this need, male cats frequently try to leave home. It is not quite running away, as they are quite willing to come home after doing the deed. The problem is that they face a lot of danger outside the house. They will get into fights with other male cats. They may also get run down by traffic. These additional worries of owning tomcats can certainly give their owners premature grey hair.

For these reasons, vets and many animal rights groups strongly recommend that owners neuter their tomcats. Neutered male cats lose that urge to wander, making it easier to keep them close to home. They will stop chasing after the female cats in heat, and stop aggressively fighting with rival tomcats. No more wandering and less fighting - all these mean they are less likely to get badly hurt outside the home. One more side benefit is that they will not produce stray kittens from their unauthorized rendezvous with female cats.

SPAYING YOUR DOG

Many vets prefer to err on the side of caution and will not neuter male cats until they are one year old. Others are willing to do it as early as four months old, as some newer studies indicate that younger neutered tomcats do not show adverse reactions. The earlier you get your tomcat neutered, the better. They are less likely to develop the habits of fighting, wandering and chasing after female cats. Despite this, neutering them late is better than not neutering them at all. As long as the habit is no longer being driven by natural instinct, it can be broken and replaced with something else.

Still, neutered or not, tomcats do tend to be more aggressive. While you can never get rid of this aggression completely, you can reduce it over time. One simple way is to put a collar with a bell on your male cat. What does this do? Often, your male cat likes to attack other animals. It will stalk them, and ambush them. It is obvious that the attacker often has the initiative in a fight. If your tomcat can surprise the other cat and pounce first, it is more likely to win the fight. While winning is generally a good thing, in this case it only encourages your cat to get into more fights. Once you bell your tomcat, it will have more difficulty stalking and successfully attacking other cats and animals. Slowly, it will lose the urge to get into fights.

Another problem more common to male cats is spraying. Spraying is different from urination. For one thing, it usually affects vertical surfaces like walls. Your cat does it to mark its territory. Common litter training techniques will not help. Neither will punishment. One thing you can do is to learn where your tomcat's favorite spraying locations are, and clean it with some form of enzymatic solution. Normal cleaners will not work - they do not remove the underlying odors of male cat urine. Your vet or local pet shop will probably have something suitable for you. After cleaning, you can spray one of those "pet behave sprays" to keep kitty away.

How to Tell Your Cat Loves You

Cats have a reputation for being disloyal, at least compared with dogs. However that can be an unfair reputation in most cases. Your cat will often show its affection for you, and it's important to know just how it does so you can respond in kind. This will help you to build an even stronger bond with your pet.

Cats purr when they are happy and content. It is usually a sign that a cat is showing affection towards you or someone else, although very occasionally it can be used to signal discontent, stress and even sickness. However given the circumstance it should be possible to differentiate between these two very different emotions. As always, if you aren't sure about your cats health you should visit a vet.

SPAYING YOUR DOG

A cat wanting to show affection will also be willing to rub against you, often while purring. If a cat trusts you, then it will be comfortable in your arms and will usually allow you to pick it up. Another common signal of trust is rolling over to expose its belly, which is a cats weak point.

If your cat shows some or all of these signs of affection then it is likely to be content and happy. A consequence of happiness is the loyalty of the cat will increase. Look out for other signs of affection such as licking or rubbing its nose against you, or even bringing what the cat considers presents to you. Dead mice might not be appetizing to you, but it does show your cats love towards you.

It's important not to try and force your cat into doing any of the above. If you treat your cat well, feed it properly and allow it the freedom it needs then over time your relationship will build naturally.

Can Cats Find Their Way Home?

Cat owners often find it necessary to allow their pets to explore the outdoors, rather than keeping them contained in the home. The cat is often let out in the morning before the owner goes to work and is waiting at the door step when the owner arrives home. The humans often wonder how cats can find their way home when there is so much to see in the world.

Though it seems it would be easy for the feline to get distracted by all the outdoor creatures and locations to investigate, the cat has its priorities in line. Wild cats in early times were forced to travel great distances for a meal but needed to find their way back home in order to avoid becoming prey. In addition, the animal could plot new routes from one point to the other once it developed a familiarity of the terrain.

SPAYING YOUR DOG

The cat has the ability to make mental maps, observe the terrain, and use its senses of smell and hearing. Some even believe that these animals make use of the position of the sun and magnetic fields in order to find their way. This has been studied but has yet to be proven and the ability for a cat to find its way home from hundreds of miles away is very unlikely.

Inside cats that are accidentally let out of the home will frequently follow the same path and end up in the same spot each time. If they escape on a regular basis, they may become braver and venture further into the outdoors. In most cases, they will be scared and will not want anyone to pick them up or touch them.

If the cat goes missing, check the area within and surrounding the home and then walk through the neighborhood. The cat may be hiding in a bush or shrub in the neighbor's yard and if it is scared, it may emit a high howling sound. Look under parked cars and if the cat is still not found, wait overnight to see if it comes home on its own. If the cat is still missing, place posters on telephone poles throughout the neighborhood.

Cat owners often wonder how their cats can find their way home if the animals have never been outdoors before. The cat makes use of its senses and instincts in order to make a path and then retrace its steps. Before long, the kitty will be safely snuggled in the lap of its owner after having a nice meal of cat food.

Correct Spacing When Laying Down Tile

Choosing the spacing between your tiles is an important part of tiling. You will want to have the correct size tile spacers before you start your project. Using tile spacers will help you stay straight with any pattern or design when you lay your tile.

Does size spacing matter?

SPAYING

The size of spacing between your tiles does matter. Choosing spacers for your tile spacing will help with the style and design. Using spacers also will help in getting your tile project correctly done. You will want to work out the tile spacing, before you start cutting or laying your tile. This is important to ensure that the tiles at the edge of the room or walls are not small pieces or fillers that will change the look of your design. If you choose not to use spacers and guess at the amount of space in-between each tile, this could throw off the whole room and your grout lines will not be even. You want to keep your tile in a grid; this will allow you to construct a symmetrical finish to your project.

The principle of using spacers is for your tile to be lined up straight. When choosing spacers the size of space will determine consistent width of your finished grout line. When you are looking for the different sizes of spacers the traditional sizes are 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1/8", 1/16". The most common spacers used tend to be ¼ or 3/8 inch. There is no rule to why these sizes are the most common used, however they tend to give most tile a nice proportional look after the grout is finished.

The size of the tile and the look you are going for will determine the size of tile spacers you will pick. There actually is not a specific rule to what size spacer you will be using. If you were to have a 10x10 tile you want to use the spacer that would fit best in your project for less cutting and also that will put your tile wall to wall or end to end.

Choosing the best spacer for your tile can be very easy if you know a few tips, for instance if you are tiling on an uneven floor that you are not going to fix before tiling you want to choose the smallest spacer for a small grout line this will help keep the maintenance up, your grout will stay put and you will not have to re grout as often.

Spacers come in different types and styles. The original spacer is a cross-like plastic tee you that you can find in any hardware store. You can also find round top spacer that has a tee on the bottom and a line or knob on the top for easy removal. All spacers are made of a washable and reusable material such as plastic. If you keep your spacers washed up they will last a very long time for your next tiling project.

When you are tiling ceramic tile, porcelain tile, travertine, marble, or Saltillo tile you want find the grout that best matches your tile. Grout comes in many different colors and brands. If you are looking for warmth on a bathroom floor and you are laying down a light porcelain tile you can choose a darker color grout. If you are using porcelain tile in a larger room you can pick a lighter color grout than what the tile color is and this will allow your room to have a large open look.

The purpose of tile grout is to close the space between the tiles so they bond tightly together. This also keeps water and other substances out of the cracks of the tile.

When you choose your spacer size you can use new modern styles you can choose a very large tile such as an 18x18 tile and use small grout line this will give your floor and house a contemporary look. If you are using small 4x4 tiles you can pick a larger grout line such as a 3/4 grout line these ideas are more edgy styles that you would not be used to seeing in past tiling.

When you make your final choice of tile spacer size, you should be aware that your tile and grout will need maintenance. You should wash and reseal your tile and grout once a year. You can use the brush on or spray sealer, allow time to dry before walking or laying items on your tile.

The Best Ways to Stay Regular

One of the most common concerns my patients have is how to stay regular. Although it rarely indicates a major health concern, constipation can cause discomfort, bloating and lack of energy. When you feel uncomfortable, it's not easy to focus on work, family and other important activities. Many people think harsh laxatives are the only answer to the problem, but that is not the case. Fortunately, there are natural treatments and easy ways to stay regular that don't require prescription drugs or cause annoying side effects.

Curing Constipation

SPAYING

If you have gone longer than two to three days without a bowel movement, there is a good chance you are suffering from constipation. Your first thought may be to pick up a laxative at the drug store, but these medicines can cause cramps, diarrhea or dehydration. To cure constipation naturally, you can turn to herbs and other natural remedies that have been used for centuries to gently restore balance to the body.

To tackle clogged bowels, psyllium husk is a highly effective option. Derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, this grainy substance is sold in natural food stores. Follow the directions on the package or simply stir a spoonful into a glass of juice and drink up.

Psyllium is often mixed with sweeteners and other artificial ingredients to make products like Metamucil and Fiber Con. Natural psyllium has no additives and is less expensive. You can drink psyllium up to three times per day to fight constipation and once a day to maintain regularity.

Ayurvedic medicine, which is popular in India, encompasses some natural cures for constipation. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend senna, an herb that encourages easier bowel movements. Licorice root has similar properties to senna, and the two may be used together. Coriander leaves, often used in Indian cooking, are another trusted remedy that helps balance the digestive system.

Hot liquids may encourage bowel movements, so teas and tonics are a good choice. Dandelion tea has many health properties and is thought to relieve constipation. You should be able to purchase dandelion tea bags in health food stores. Honey is a centuries-old home remedy for a variety of ailments, including constipation. Mix a tablespoon with hot water and sip after meals.

Natural Prevention

Even people with healthy digestive systems occasionally fall prey to constipation. Stress, travel or a change in eating habits may be to blame. Taking preventative steps can keep your body functioning smoothly, even when life gets hectic.

You've probably heard about the importance of fiber, especially as it relates to preventing constipation. Fiber is the natural bulk in whole grains, vegetables and fruit that is indigestible to the body. Fiber attaches to the stool and helps it move easily and quickly through the digestive track.

The surest way to get adequate fiber in your daily diet is to load up at breakfast. Look for cereals with at least 5 grams per serving. Eat whole grain or sprouted grain breads, English muffins or pitas. Breads should have at least 3 grams of fiber per slice. Add a piece of fiber-rich fruit, like pears, apricots, strawberries, apples, dried prunes or dates, peaches or pineapple.

Other high fiber foods that anyone can fit into their diet are beans, which can go into salads, burritos, soups or grain dishes; nuts, which are filling and packed with antioxidants; and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. Ground flax is another superfood you can trust to keep you regular. Sprinkle it on yogurt, cereal, salads, grain dishes or soups. If you are too busy to change your diet, natural supplements can help. Look for those containing flax and probiotics, the good bacteria that keep your digestive track healthy.

The more high fiber, unprocessed foods and supplements you consume, the happier your digestive system will be. In case constipation does take you by surprise, look to natural cures that have been used for many years to restore balance and comfort. Constipation is an unfortunate condition most people have to deal with, but remember that you can choose to manage it naturally.
