Cat Body Language
Cats are funny. They just are! But what does their body language tell us? Here are some assumptions:
Cats will twitch the tips of their tails when hunting or angry, while larger twitching indicates displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting towards humans or other cats (usually close relatives) while half-raised shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is indicated with a tail held low. A scared or surprised cat may puff up its tail and the hair along its back may stand straight up and turn its body sideways to a threat in order to increase its apparent size.
Tailless cats who possess only a small stub of a tail move the stub around as though they possessed a full tail, though it is not nearly as communicative as that of a fully tailed cat. Touching noses is a friendly greeting for cats, while a lowered head is a sign of submission. Some cats will rub their faces along their guardian's cheek or ankles as a friendly greeting or sign of affection. This action is also sometimes a way of "marking their territory," leaving a scent from the scent glands located in the cat's cheek.
Cats also lick both each other and people (e.g. their owners). Cats lick each other to groom each other and to bond together (this grooming is usually done between cats that know each other very well). They will also sometimes lick people for similar reasons, that is, to "groom" them and to show them caring and affection.
When cats are happy, they are known to paw their guardian with a kneading motion. Cats often use this action alongside purring to show contentment and affection for their guardians or other times it can be when the cat is in pain or dying it is said to be a way of comforting itself. It is instinctive to cats, which use it when they are young to stimulate the mother cat's breast to release milk during nursing. As a result, cats hand-raised by humans may lack this reflex.
Pawing is also a way for cats to mark their territory. The scent glands on the underside of their paws release small amounts of scent onto the person or object being pawed, marking it as "theirs" in the same way they would urinate to mark their territory.
Yawning in front of their owner and blinking behavior is common in cats and may be a sign of trust or affection. Cats will respond to a human who dramatically closes and opens their eyes by reciprocating the action. This perhaps illustrates a remarkable aspect of cat intelligence; that they are able to identify and relate part of their own anatomy to the same structure on another species.

Classic Engagement Ring
If you would like to get engaged in a very classic fashion, surrounded by all your relatives and friends in a courtyard, you might consider buying an antique style engagement ring, which goes well with the theme and environment and would not cost much too. There are several reasons why people would go for an antique style engagement ring instead of contemporary ones, especially those who lean towards unique objects. At a glance, we can see that contemporary engagement rings are usually for those who live in such a lifestyle and have their engagement in a very modern way. On the other hand, antique style engagement rings are for those who aspire to lead a fairytale-like classic lifestyle. Some common factors which encourage the preference of this type of engagement ring would be uniqueness and charm, less expensive than contemporary ones, better craftsmanship, and many more.
Uniqueness and Charm The antique style engagement ring by nature itself has the element of uniqueness due to its classic touch. Most of the engagement rings are made of intricate and delicate details. And this classic touch indeed gives the charm to it, regardless as to whether it has stones or not.
Less Expensive An antique style engagement ring is usually cheaper than modern ones, because they do not necessarily use expensive metals like platinum and so on. For example, the Victorian style engagement rings are made of yellow or rose gold. And design wise, this is very good because it is very simple and elegant at the same time. These characteristics are not compromised with the price, meaning to say that though they generally cost less, they are as good as the contemporary ones, and in fact more beautiful and elegant.

How to Avoid Scams in Runescape
There are many ways RuneScape players choose to scam or trick other RuneScape players for personal gain. Such dishonest methods can range from extremely simple to entirely complex. You'll be surprised by how elaborate a scammer's scheme might be. Either way, you must keep an eye out for such dishonest pixel-lovers...
Steps
1.Watch the second trade screen closely before accepting. The January 2nd update makes this scam impossible. Because you cannot trade out of the 3k limit (for non-members) and up to 30k for members. Even Mithril is worth more then 3k, so as stated before this no longer applies.
