There is music specifically made for cats that features frequencies and tempos used in natural cat communications. “Researchers turned to musician David Teie to compose songs that would fit into those parameters, which resulted in the tracks, “Cozmo’s Air,” “Spook’s Ditty,” and “Rusty’s Ballad.” Test-

After their tests, the researchers found that the cats showed a “significant preference for and interest in” the cat-appropriate music compared to the two human songs, to which they didn’t respond at all. The study also found that the cat music also evoked better reactions from younger and older cats than middle-aged felines.”

Bookmark it! New and Upcoming Reads Bulls Eye By James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge Available August 1 Snow blankets the avenues of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper West Side. The storm is the perfect cover for a fashionable, highly trained team of lethal assassins as they prowl the streets, hunting their prey. But their first hit is simply target practice. Their next mission may very well turn the Cold War red-hot once again. Stepping directly into the line of fire, the president of the United States is in New York for a summit at the United Nations with his Russian counterpart. Pulled away from his family and pressed into service, Detective Michael Bennett must trace the source of a threat that could rip the country apart, and ignite a war the likes of which the world has never seen. With allegiances constantly in doubt and no one above suspicion, only Bennett can save the president, and the country, before the assassins’ deadly kill shot hits its mark.
A Time of Torment By John Connolly Available August 1 Jerome Burnel was once a hero. He intervened to prevent
July 28, 2016
multiple killings, and in doing so destroyed himself. His life was torn apart. He was imprisoned, brutalized. But in his final days, with the hunters circling, he tells his story to private detective Charlie Parker. He speaks of the girl who was marked for death, but was saved; of the ones who tormented him, and an entity that hides in a ruined stockade. Parker is not like other men. He died, and was reborn. He is ready to wage war. Now he will descend upon a strange, isolated community called the Cut, and face down a force of men who rule by terror, intimidation, and murder. All in the name of the being they serve. All in the name of the Dead King.
X By Sue Grafton Available August 1 Sue Grafton’s X: Perhaps her darkest and most chilling novel, it features a remorseless serial killer who leaves no trace of his crimes. Once again breaking the rules and establishing new paths, Grafton wastes little time identifying this sociopath. The test is whether Kinsey can prove her case against him before she becomes his next victim.

A pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound of flour and a pound of eggs—that’s the easy-to-remember recipe for an 18th-century pound cake, large enough to feed a family for days. Most of us don’t have large families to feed, and with the short days and long nights of January, we may be inclined to polish off the entire cake by ourselves. Enter our pound cake made with yogurt and olive oil instead of butter—we call that plenty wise. Olive oil produces a super-tender crumb, and here’s why: Olive oil, which is 100 percent fat, with no milk solids like butter, coats the flour proteins better, reducing gluten formation, which is what makes bread sturdy, but cakes tough. With cakes, you want to use a mild-flavored olive oil, one labeled “pure,” rather than extra-virgin.
Orange-Ginger Pound Cake • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour • 2 tsp baking powder • 1/2 tsp salt • 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt or Greek yogurt • 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided • 3 eggs • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract • 1 Tbsp finely minced, peeled fresh gingerroot • 1 Tbsp minced orange peel • 1/3 cup mild olive oil or vegetable oil • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4-inch loaf pan. 2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Whisk together yogurt, 1 cup sugar, eggs, vanilla, gingerroot, orange peel and oil. Slowly stir in flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake about 50 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. 4. Place 1/4 cup fresh orange juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until sugar dissolves. 5. When cake is done, let cool in pan 10 minutes. Place cake on a wire rack over a sheet pan. While cake is warm, poke holes in top and pour orange juice mixture over cake, allowing to soak in. 6. Combine confectioners’ sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice, stirring until smooth. When cake is cool, drizzle glaze over top of cake. Serves 10

HOROSCOPE JULY 28 - AUGUST 3 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You keep saying that you could do better if you were given the right circumstances. Well, you’ll give yourself those circumstances through saying “yes” and saying “no” to things today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are not bored by other people, though you might be bored by the same people (possibly the person you live inside) in the same circumstance you’ve seen again and again. You’ll most certainly do something about this. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The project before you is exciting. Don’t let your excitement cause you to rush. Leave a good amount of space between the different stages of work. It will help you to refine and improve as you go. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Good news. Though you’ll be very out of your element for a period of this day, there is no need to study or watch another person in order to know what to do. The right answers come to you by nature. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The idea that was strange and wonderful will now show a different side. The idea that was strange and horrible will seem to have its merits. These are merely signals that your mind is open. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one is ever alone in a feeling. However complex it may seem, someone else in the world has gone through or is going through something very close to your emotion, but you have reach out to know the truth of this.

Both are just weather and mood. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You graciously acknowledge the favors you’re given, but you don’t use them all, as it would incur too much debt. Note: The favors from on high are generally lower priced than those from down low. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes you think you sound like a broken record, as the circumstances of your life seem to run you, and the “you” they seem to run has the same message, recurring. Flip it. Play the other side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t always like to admit it, but there’s comfort in a routine. By the way, you could really use some comfort right now. Instead of moving to the next excitement, consider setting a nice groove. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Will you deliver what you said you would? Probably. And when the potential recipient is persistent, definitely. Furthermore, whatever is open to interpretation, you’ll interpret it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your contentment will rely on valuing the help you give. Don’t promise more. Even if you only help a person one time, being present in a moment of need will have a profound impact.
