PC and Telepathy
Laptop, Android Smart Phone and Nintendo Wii. I get some problems with the smartphone, as it takes ages to load (not because of the connection though)
I can view it in my GS3 and my laptop and computer so it's alright.
Well let's see, I usually use my laptop but I use my phone to check up on things occasionally.
iPod - Problems with images and animations which appear as white squares and sometimes hard to navigate using my iPod.

my PC. i dont visit on any other device, too annoying to type on touch screens and i hate laptop track pads

There was a time in my life when dead trees/naked trees were simply scary, particularly when silhouetted by the moonlight. It could also be just a product of my over active imagination. I do blame all those horror movies though.
Before I thought they were scary; now I find them beautiful and full of character and personality.

Very disappointing, not what advertised

About Me Casual Dresser
Comments about Gameness Top Dog Fight Shorts:
This item is very disappointing because they advertise "MaxGrip rubber waistband ring" and the one that I received does not have a rubber waistband and I'm missing this because the movements make the shorts move from the waist. You can look at the picture and you'll not see any rubber band.Also it does not have the "Convenient mouthguard pocket" so, another missing feature.And the last thing of this item that I really hated is the lack of reinforcement in the leg openings (don't know how this is called, but I hope you understand what I mean), I've used this short 4 times, and today in a bjj match the shorts got ripped in the leg.These are cool shorts, they look great, but not made for training, trust me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Decent Shorts
By Adam
from Milford, DE
I have had these shorts for 2 weeks now and the only time they feel good is when I lift weights. The reason being that the material they used is very restricting especially when I attempt to use them for BJJ or even Muay Thai or Kickboxing. Compared to the Gameness Elite Fight Shorts this pair is far inferior in terms of comfortablility and movability.
Awesome Fit

It is true that few people who don't know it would ever guess that this symphony is by Charles Ives. It seems a product of some 1890s European, or an American imitator. In fact, Ives was enormously gifted at imitating a range of styles, whether a Victorian parlour song or a German lied or a take-off of Debussy. Games with styles would be an important feature of his music. Here, he hits late Romanticism spot-on. And in the end, as usual, Ives imbues this work with a powerful personality. The First Symphony is tuneful, rousing, funny, sometimes spine-chilling. For all its rampant (and rambling) eclecticism it is one of the most entertaining and individual symphonies in the American repertoire.
It begins with a pulsing string figure over which a clarinet sings a wistful theme that Dvorák might have admired. In the background lurks a certain Romantic fatalism that will come and go in the movement until it boils over in the coda. The development section begins with a remarkable stroke: a quiet, haunting, endlessly rising chord sequence decorated with wisps of melody. Ives would not forget those chords; they turn up again in his valedictory Psalm 90.
After a second movement based on a Dvorákian quasi-spiritual for cor anglais comes a nimble and delightful canonic scherzo, which in scoring and execution can only be called masterful. The finale is entirely of the 'banish care' variety, filled with romping themes and vigorous march rhythms until it ends brassily with one of Ives's grand parades of themes from the whole symphony.

Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Kenya's presidential race tightened late Thursday as new results pushed the leading candidate below the crucial 50 percent mark needed to win outright. A final result was expected Friday, but the close race and a troubled vote count are sparking fears of the kind of violence that ripped through the country after its last national election.
Tensions rose as the political coalition led by Kenya's prime minister, currently running in second, alleged that some vote results have been doctored and called for a stop to a tallying process it said "lacked integrity."
The statement by Raila Odinga's coalition said the counting process should be restarted using primary documents from polling stations, but the election commission insisted there was no way to doctor the results.
Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta had a small lead over Odinga as of late Thursday, though crucially Kenyatta for the first time slipped below the 50 percent threshold that would give him a clean win.
Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto face charges at the International Criminal Court for their alleged involvement directing postelection violence five years ago. The court announced Thursday that the start of Kenyatta's trial would be delayed from April until July.
Kenya's national vote on Monday was the first since the 2007 election sparked tribe-one-tribe attacks that killed more than 1,000 people. Minor protests have cropped up, but no massive rioting or ethnic violence has occurred. As more time passes without a final result, though, tensions are rising, sparking fears that the dam now holding back potential protests could break.
Though Odinga's party said it continues to urge "calm, tolerance and peace," its call for a halt to the vote count and allegations of vote rigging could agitate its supporters. Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, Odinga's running mate, said the announcement "is not a call to mass action."
Odinga's supporters in 2007 felt they had been cheated out of an election win over President Mwai Kibaki. Those supporters took to the streets, kicking off two months of clashes that, in addition to the ethnic violence, saw more than 400 deaths caused by police who were fighting protesters. A 2008 government report said the results were so tainted it was impossible to say who actually won.
The winner must capture 50 percent of the vote from the eight presidential candidates in order to win; otherwise there is a runoff.
Officials on Thursday continued to add up votes from tally sheets that have been transported to the capital, results that are being played across Kenyan TV screens. The partial results as of late Thursday in Kenya showed Kenyatta with about 3.5 million votes; Odinga had about 3.25 million. A little more than half of polling stations had been tabulated.
Musyoka told a news conference that "we have evidence that the results we are receiving have actually been doctored." He then listed several voting districts where he said the total votes cast exceed the number of registered voters. Musyoka also said that Kenyan law requires that vote results be transmitted electronically from polling stations before transporting the results.
The election commission chairman, Isaak Hassan, said later he has not seen any case where the total valid votes exceeds the number of registered voters.
Musyoka said Odinga's party was exploring several options to stop the vote count, including getting a court injunction. The electronic tally that was to serve as a preliminary vote count and be available soon after the polls closed failed on Tuesday, leaving the country in a tense information vacuum late Tuesday and Wednesday.
One issue that arose Thursday was why rejected ballots are no longer reflected in the count in high numbers. When the preliminary count froze on Tuesday there were more than 330,000 rejected ballots, an important issue because of a legal fight that will be launched over whether those ballots should be counted in the overall vote total, thus making it harder for a candidate to reach 50 percent of the votes cast.
Hassan said that the number of rejected ballots was incorrectly increased by a factor of eight because of a computer error.
On Thursday, by contrast, official vote tallies showed a very low number of rejected votes, leading to questions about where they all went. The election commission was to hold a news conference later Thursday but had yet to make any statements as of mid-day.
Kenya is the lynchpin of East Africa's economy and plays a vital security role in the fight against Somali militants. The U.S. Embassy in Kenya is the largest in Africa, indicating this country's importance to U.S. foreign policy.

Scratch Lounge revolutionizes cat-scratch technology by introducing the first two-sided scratcher! This one-of-a-kind design allows cats to satisfy their instinctual needs to nest and scratch.
Cats spend more than half of their lives lounging, and old-fashioned scratchers rarely provide a suitable place to rest. The design is so unique, it was issued a US utility patent!
Scratch Lounge prevents cats from damaging furniture by providing a scratchable piece of "furniture" all their own. And cats will enjoy the Scratch Lounge much longer than any conventional one-sided scratcher because of the reversible super-dense honeycomb construction of the pads.
The Scratch Lounge contains NO harmful materials. They use nontoxic wheat-based glue to adhere the cardboard structure.
Scratch Lounge is made of 100% recyclable materials & Made in the USA!
Measures: 21 1/2" x 13 3/8" x 4 3/8".
About Scratch Lounge:Scratch Lounge donates 10% of all profits to their designated charity, the new Amanda Foundation Mobile Clinic.
The Amanda Foundation runs the most successful mobile spay/neuter program in the United States, performing over 7,000 surgeries per year. Five days a week, cats and dogs are spayed/neutered and vaccinated at no charge to their low-income guardians.
Scratch Lounge believes that the Amanda Foundation mobile clinic program is the most important component to the no-kill shelter goal, because it serves pet guardians, who are in most need of the services.
These are the people who lack transportation, do not have affordable vet services in their immediate neighborhood, and usually have no knowledge of the City's outreach efforts. They learn about the program through word of mouth, they see the mobile clinic parked in their community, or they get a pamphlet that is handed out to them by their minister, teacher, community leader, food bank, etc.
The mobile clinic goes to the poorest areas in the City of Los Angeles, to the same areas that have few helpful community resources. By donating to the mobile clinic, Scratch Lounge is a partner in reducing the numbers of unwanted pets that end up dying in the shelters.

One cat needs second scratch lounge
By The cat lady
from Salt Lake City, UT
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Scratch Lounge Double-Sided Cat Scratcher:
My cat loves boxes to sleep in. We bought a scratch lounge for Christmas and put it on the couch beside his box. After the first day, he hasn't been in the box at all. LOVES the scratch lounge. We are buying another to put on the floor upstairs. May end up buying a third.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Triple Threat
By World's Truest Animal Lover
from Waitsfield VT
This is a triple threat item. It's a gym, a place to take naps, more fun than tearing up furniture and a great place to just spend time. Both of our cats love this, so we now have four spread around our home. AND we have purchased some for friends.

This thing is great! I have 4 cats of all different ages and temperaments, and every single one loves it. I had to get 2 more so they'd all have a turn. They like laying in it as well as scratching it, and it doesn't matter if it's the dainty girls or the huge feral-rescue boy, they all dig it. I put them near places where they had already clawed up favorite furniture, and it has really reduced the incidence of inappropriate scratching.
By Susan
from Westmister, MD
My cats LOVE this! This is actually a repeat purchase and I am adding another. They sleep and play in the tray, and do lots of scratching besides. I've purchased this for friend's kitties and recommend for any kitty that loves to stretch and scratch.
Scratcher Lounge Double Sided Cat Scrath
By Rags Mom
from Rhode Island
Having four large cats I purchased two of these scratchers and thought I would keep one until the first one wore out....but there was such rivalry over taking turns, I opened the second and that seem to allow them all to have their "turn"!!!

Ubelievable scratcher!
By Lucky's owner
from NY, NY
Hands down the best cat scratcher ever. My cat has always enjoyed scratching boards but this one she not only immediately used but she also took a nap in it, too. This is a wonderful product!
Can't go wrong
By Rae
from New York, NY
I put this in front of the TV and play the Cat Sitter DVD and my senior cat is set for hours. She loves the Scratch Lounge. I have tried cardboard scratchers before and they have always been a success but this is the best because of it's sturdy design. Everyone should get this for their cats!
They love them
By Pat
from Maryland
After reading reviews I purchased two. My cats love them. Laid back Oliver just chills and the little devil Chloe just scratches and rubs to beat the band. Had to purchase two because she would never have left Oliver alone.
Saving my rug!!
By Alhan2
from New Salisbury, IN
My cat ignored it for the first two days, but now he sleeps in it, plays in it, and most importantly of all, scratches in it, thus saving my very expensive rug from further damage!!. The cost of shipping was a bit high. If I could buy this in a store I definitely would, therefore, saving the cost of the shipping.
Great Scratcher
By Katy80K

It looks good and the kitties love it.

Steve Coogan laughs as he reads the Frank Sinatra quotation etched into the restaurant wall: "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good at they're going to feel all day."
"I was talking to someone, (saying) as you get older, you have to choose between the mornings and the evenings," the 48-year-old English actor/writer/producer says as he takes his seat in the booth. "You can't have a really great evening and a really great morning. You sort of have to choose which one's more important to you. Mornings are more important to me, but that's very funny."
That said, Coogan won't be sampling any of Howells & Hood's 100-plus beers this lunch. "I'm off booze at the moment, because I have periods when I want to be totally clear-headed, when I'm working generally," he says.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Talking over food, on the other hand, is something with which Coogan is quite comfortable. The mostly improvised, Michael Winterbottom-directed 2010 BBC TV series "The Trip," edited into a film of the same name, consists of Coogan and Welsh actor Rob Brydon yakking, sparring and trading impersonations (their brilliant dueling-Michael Caines clip has drawn more than 2.5 million YouTube clicks) as they share a series of meals across the English countryside.
On the surface Coogan's new film, "Philomena," which he co-wrote and produced, marks an abrupt shift from "The Trip" and other projects in which the actor plays a comically self-centered heel. With Stephen Frears ("The Queen") directing and Judi Dench (who starred in Frears' "Mrs. Henderson Presents" in the title role, "Philomena" is a serious-minded Oscar-season entry about a BBC journalist who helps an elderly Irish woman search for the son whom nuns gave up for adoption against her wishes almost 50 years earlier.
Yet there is Coogan again, debating about food and more serious issues in a series of hotels and restaurants, albeit without the celebrity impressions. "It was only afterward that I realized, 'Oh, yeah,' I guess this is the same as 'The Trip'; it's become a road movie," Coogan says. "But we didn't really set out to make it kind of like a road movie. It's just that the conversations ended up happening in cars a lot because they were searching, they were on a journey."
Coogan is in a dark blue checked jacket and jeans, and his formerly wavy hair is cropped short, as it is in "Philomena," with silver around the temples adding to the refined look. After our server recommends the lamb meatballs and toasted ravioli as the most popular shareable items, I ask Coogan whether he's persuaded by hearing that something is popular.
"If I'm somewhere else — and right now I'm somewhere else — then yeah," he says. "You know, when in Rome. I like to see what people like. I don't like not being adventurous. I think that's sort of wrong somehow."
With "Philomena" the adventure for him is a pronounced shift in tone. Coogan is a comedian/comic actor and often an arch one at that; in Britain he's best known for playing insecure, narcissistic show host Alan Partridge in an assortment of TV and radio projects as well as a feature film ("Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa") already released in Britain and due in the U.S. next year. His Hollywood career has included supporting parts in hit comedies such as "Tropic Thunder" and "A Night at the Museum" as well as the co-lead (with Jackie Chan) in the not-so-successful 2004 "Around the World in 80 Days" remake.
He has played some dramatic roles, such as Factory Records founder Tony Wilson in Winterbottom's "24 Hour Party People" (2002) and a custody-battling parent in Scott McGehee and David Siegel's "What Maisie Knew" (2012), but "Philomena" is the first serious script he has written, in collaboration with BAFTA-winning TV writer Jeff Pope. Given that Coogan is one of the British celebrities whose phones were hacked by the now-defunct London-based News of the World tabloid — he sued and received a large settlement from parent company News International — one might guess that his interest in "Philomena" stemmed from his wanting to explore a potentially positive role for journalism in everyday people's lives.
"But that connection wasn't made by me until I'd written the movie, and people were saying, 'Oh, this is journalism,' and I was like, 'Oh, I thought I was making a movie about faith and religion and cynicism,'" Coogan says.
Coogan acknowledges that his version of Martin Sixsmith, an actual BBC journalist who wrote the non-fiction book "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee" on which the movie is based, is about 50 percent the real-life guy and 50 percent the actor/writer imposing his own internal struggles. There are two levels of conflict in "Philomena": the basic one of a mother trying to find her long-lost son, born out of wedlock and sold to another family by a convent's disapproving nuns, and the below-the-surface one of whether to react to such injustice with anger or forgiveness. The character Martin, like the man who wrote and plays him, is an atheist who's angry at the church, while Philomena remains a believer despite all that has happened. That gulf provides the film's true tension.
"(The character's views) are my thoughts on the church, but also what you have to realize is that I also wrote the dialogue, with Jeff, that argues against my point of view and argues against my own cynicism," Coogan says. "So it's a conversation about: Am I cynical? Yes, more than I should be. Do I wish I wasn't? Yes. Do I think it's a flawed way to look at things? Absolutely."
Frears says in a phone conversation that he didn't initially realize how close this story hit home for his leading man.
"Well, he's a lapsed Catholic," the director says. "It took me some time to find that out…I came to see how personal (the script) was — and also how imaginative, like he could find his own sort of autobiography in this story."
Coogan recalls that as he read Sixsmith's work aloud to his girlfriend, "I started weeping." He not only related to it, he says, but also felt he could tell this story on screen.
"Philomena could be my mother," he says. "I know lots of old Irish ladies like that. My grandmother was like that. There's a sort of simpleness to them, but there's also an underlying integrity, and I thought I know how to write this and not fall into the trap of an intellectual writer who doesn't understand that kind of simplicity and thinks it's just weird."
Much of the movie's humor stems from Martin's overly refined, if not pampered, tastes contrasted with Philomena's enthusiasm for such simple things as a hotel's omelet station and the opportunity to watch "Big Momma's House" in her room.
"I saw some comments from liberal intellectuals in the Guardian saying it's patronizing to portray an Irishwoman as being stupid like this and saying dumb things," Coogan says. "Well, you know what? A lot of our old Irish ladies do say stupid things sometimes. That still doesn't mean that they don't have a dignity."
Of course, having 78-year-old Oscar winner Dench playing the role helps in the dignity department. Frears says he was intrigued when he heard that the classically trained actress would be playing off the younger modern comedian.

You want to be at 730 haste with 3 points in Celestial Focus! You should use gems/gear selection/ whatever other means available to reach this number.
I was wondering if with the haste changes anyone thought it would be valid to sacrifice more crit for more haste or if the haste effect would be considered to minimal to really be taken into consideration.
Previously i never saw much of a need for having more that 500 haste but rescently i have been wondering if the haste changes would be worth me sacrificing some more crit for haste. granted i will be losing my t9 4set bonus soon however i would like some more input on the subject from other druids before i go and regem for even more haste :P
While i am on the subject of haste i was also wondering what people thought about speccing farther into balanced to pick up celestial focus for the extra 3% haste.
You want to be at 730 haste with 3 points in Celestial Focus! You should use gems/gear selection/ whatever other means available to reach this number.
i would appreciate numbers for and reasoning as to why you say these stats over crit I am a bit stingy on how my character is geared so i would be interested in knowing the stats/benefits and loses for going with haste vs crit I have heard i want 730 haste before and i wouldnt have posted this thread if i was just asking how much haste i needed :P
Also i was wondering if anyone had a few combat parses showing pre haste changes vs post haste changes so i can see the difference
Last edited by Sunchips; 12-11-2009 at 11:14 AM.
I can't give you numbers, but if your question is haste vs. crit i can give you a few reasons why. Feel welcomed to challenge please.
First off with talents and the 2 pc t9 set piece your crit is already pretty high, It's gonna take alot of crit to really affect it at that point and when we start to break our tier bonuses crit will become less important.
If you are a raid healer having your gcd down to 1 second is pretty important, albeit more in 25 than in 10. If you're blanket hotting you obviously want it to 1 second and if you're trying out the new RR glyph you're not gonna see a big difference till you're sitting at at least 750.
I think that the RR Glyph would also make a big difference if you were tank healing, i was trouncing the other healers on fights with tank heavy damage because of that, and again, you want your haste pretty high to use it.
From what i've seen around the boards the question really isnt even haste vs. crit, its gotten to the question of Spell Power Vs. Haste cap.
Pulling this from my druid guide;
(0/3 CF) Lifebloom: 449 haste rating Everything else: 856
(3/3 CF) Lifebloom: 339 haste rating Everything else: 736
WoA alone (5%)
(0/3 CF) Lifebloom: 563 haste rating Everything else: 980
(3/3 CF) Lifebloom: 449 haste rating Everything else: 856
Moonkin/Swift Ret alone (3%)
(0/3 CF) Lifebloom: 638 haste rating Everything else: 1063
(3/3 CF) Lifebloom: 523 haste rating Everything else: 936
no haste buffs
(0/3 CF) Lifebloom: 757 haste rating Everything else: 1193
(3/3 CF) Lifebloom: 638 haste rating Everything else: 1063
Being at the haste cap is so much more important than crit, especially since most of our spells have a built in crit factor from spec. After you reach the haste cap you can either gem straight for spellpower or go for the socket bonuses with 12 spellpower 10 spirit or 12 spellpower 10 intellect. It really isn't too hard to make it to the haste cap; I only have to change one piece of gear and 3 gems.
It still seems that the numbers are a bit off...i mean 730 haste is alot and i really dont think that much is necissary to heal efficiently...with my haste as it is i have been beating out druids with more haste on healing done not so much total healing but they are way ahead of overhealing i think its mostly contributed to the fact that their HoTS fall off way to fast in comparison to mine and so they will tick on someone who is at full health faster than mine will and ultimatly have a shorter duration than me...i think that 460-500 haste (depending on group makeup and food buffs) would be more than enough haste for a raid healer. it seems like an extreamly ginormous waste of gcd's
The thing is, in 25 man content, if you're a raid healer, you will most likely be casting something on every cooldown. When this is the case you are gonna get an extra cast for every 2 or 3 casts if you have your gcd down to one second, as opposed to say the built in 1.5, that's why it's so important for resto druids.
This fact isn't really new, it was the same in 3.2, the only difference is the change to gift of the earth mother and we just have to adapt to that, before the change, everyone still agreed it was important to get the haste cap and that hasn't changed.
The only reason the other trees' hots would fall off faster is if they were using rapid rejuvenation, and the jury is still out on that glyph. Plus with having the new haste cap our nourishes are getting down to 1.1 or 1 second cast times, which is great imo.
Like Llego said, we get enough crit automatically.
That doesn't mean the haste cap is a prerequisite to raid healing, especially if you're doing 10 man content or just aren't pushing high end progression.
well we are at end game content but tbh with my 450 haste my gcd is down to 1.08 seconds and with latency differences the the .08 isnt going to kill me..my nourish its self is down to 1.19 so im still not seeing why i need that much haste :|
Well its a game, and you're welcome to play it any way you want. The fact is having that haste cap means more people you can have a rejuv on, which is a druids role, and having nourish's cast time as low as possible.
I hope that blanket hotting goes away a little bit and if it does i think it will happen with rapid rejuv, which also benefits more from higher amounts of haste.
Thems are the facts.
You're gemming for crit, I seriously consider re-thinking that considering the high amount of crit we can get from gear/spec. Those yellow slots would be much better suited with sp/haste or sp/int gems. Also you are more than welcome to not get to the haste cap, but the only thing you are doing is not preparing yourself to be the best possible healer that you can be.
i havent had crit gems in months...you may be looking at my old pvp gear O_o

I didn't pay attention to the size description, so they were a little longer that I prefer. The colors are just as the picture shows--really vivid. I love gemstone jewelry and these fit right into my taste and budget. I would definitely recommend them to a friend and I will purchase again in the future
On my earrings the length of the teardrop is 1 inch with the widest part of the teardrop measuring 3/4 inch. These earrings have a variety of colors in them. Only upon close observation does one see that this is caused by the inlay of 6 different stones, the same color and position in each earrings. They are not for newly-pierced ears as there is a small weight to them. I purchased these earrings with the Alpaca Silver Inlaid Stone Turtle Pendant (Mexico). All three are a good match.
I bought these as a gift for a friend but they are so pretty I think I'll keep them for myself! Very lightweight and the perfect length.
After waiting several weeks for the earrings to arrive, I was very disappointed when I opened the package. I was expecting vividly colored, handmade earrings, like the description. I honestly thought the earrings looked junky and mass-produced. I would not recommend this product.
Earrings received are not as bright as shown, dissappointed, but will keep.
I am so happy with these earrings, they are beautiful.They are made with great quality and the design is amazing. I am so glad I ordered them
Prompt receipt of earrings. These are beautiful and I am pleased with the art work. They are heavy and deep rich color. I am very pleased with my purchase. I have never received any jewelry from Mexican artisans that I was displeased with.
Have already gotten a lot of compliments. Well worth the money
Very nice earrings. I love wearing them. The colors make them easy to wear with different color outfits.

text: One of our favourite handbag designers, Pauric Sweeney. The lovely Irishman wanted to show us his new collection of neon colour-pop bags that are being exclusively stocked in London's Dover Street Market. He's moved away from his patent and snakeskin finishes for now (our personal lust-have of last season) and onto hi-tech synthetic materials jazzed up with interesting prints and massive cobalt zip pulls. Why? 'I'm not a one shape, five colours type of bag designer. Some materials just aren't right for the shape,' he told us. 'I've used 350 materials, working like a puzzle designing and fitting the fabric to the shape.' We love the black and white print that's inspired by the Memphis furniture movement and the neon pink satchel is amazing too. So hot in fact that Agyness Deyn snapped one up at Dover St Market as they were unpacking them to display in the store. And you know what they say: if it's good enough for Agy... Get to Dover Street quick though - they're only there until net week when they're being moved to Paris for Fashion Week. Pauric Sweeney on the up.

Steps to a Healthy Cat Weight
The VCA Big Pet Project can help you achieve and maintain your cat's ideal weight.
Quick reminders to keep your cat at a healthy weight
Keep a close eye at feeding times
Be sure to follow your veterinarian's personalized nutrition plan!
Don't overtreat
Many cats will replace food for affection. If your cat begs for a treat, try a belly rub instead!
Keep your cat active!
Play with your cat for at least ten minutes twice a day. You can even turn mealtime into a game by hiding your cat's food bowl!
Monitor your cat's weight
Keep a record of your cat's progress, and have regular weigh-ins with your veterinarian.
Nutrition Tips for Dieting Cats
Exercise Tips for Overweight Cats
Before you change your cat's exercise routine for weight loss ask your veterinarian for a safe regimen that's appropriate for your cat's weight.Overweight Cat Tool Go Back to Top
Obesity in Cats
Today's cat population is mirroring the weight issues of the human population-and the health risks that go along with it.
Our cats are packing on the pounds and it's not cute. 45% of cat owners don't realize their cat is actually overweight3 and don't understand the risks that extra weight poses to their pet. In reality, a cat's weight impacts their overall health, longevity and quality of life.
But there's great news:
Overweight or obese cats that return to their normal weights may once again enjoy lively activities and could even experience the reversal of some weight-related health conditions.
What can you do about your cat's weight?
With help from your VCA veterinarian, you can prevent your cat from becoming overweight or obese, and if it's a little too late for that, your cat's added weight can be reduced. Before starting your cat on a diet or exercise program, consult your VCA veterinarian for a proper diagnosis, and to get the right diet for his/her age, body condition and general state of health.

The money of the future won't be cash, or even sliding plastic—it'll just be a wave of the hand, we're all told. RFID-enabled credit cards sound great, but add an unprecedented theft risk. So how about an on/off switch?
RFID chips are super cool because those little buggers can beam things wirelessly. The guys at Mythbusters totally thought so too and wanted to make an episode about how trackable and hackable RFID chips were. Sounds amazing! Everyone would've learned more about the technology that's invisibly invading our lives. But, nope. Credit Card companies banned 'em.
Every circle of friends has one—the guy who's only willing to chip in "a couple of quid" for the night's keg but double fists his brews the entire evening. Well, no longer! This suds security system will only pour for authorized imbibers.
It's easy to avoid pushy sales clerks when shopping for new threads. So a department store in Japan now uses inescapable RFID-equipped clothing hangers that try to sell you other products and accessories when you take a garment off a rack.

Two Chowhound's Road Trip (Starting in the Southwest)
- Scargod May 7, 2009 04:12 PM
Starting April 17th, Passadumkeg and Scargod (who met on Chowhound), started a road trip from Las Vegas to the coastal town of Ellsworth, Maine (Passadumkeg's home). We spent ten days eating our way across the South and up the Atlantic coast, while traveling in a 1990 Miata. We are even still friends! We stayed with friends and relatives occasionally, along the way. Some meals were simple and some involved six people and hundreds of dollars. I researched many places that were along our trail; some we ate at, yet often we winged it. This thread will chronicle our adventures across the Southwest and then we will move to the Texas, Austin, New Orleans, South, Florida, Tri-State and finally the New England board. We will Permalink threads together so you can follow our progress. We took many photos…
This is a new experience for both of us and I cannot see posting all our eating experiences in one post and our photos are too numerous to post just four. So, I foresee a rolling dialog with posts that will include pictures of each place we ate at and other related images, while Mark and I go back and forth with our impressions of food, service and ambiance, of which we didn't always agree. Still, we were good Chowhounds and shared and discussed almost everything we ate. Sometimes we swapped plates halfway through a meal!
My first meal was some lousy chili (at Chili's), at La Guardia, before the flight out, but we will start when we first went out to dinner at "M" a relatively new resort (and casino), in the southernmost part of Las Vegas. It was not our idea but Mark's brother's wife, that we try the buffet, which is quite popular, at $19.00. With gambling charge card it went down to $17! They have seafood, some standard fare and Asian food. This includes sushi, raw oysters, planked salmon, snow crab legs, many desserts and a selection of about four wines. Wow! This sounds great till you realize that you must be there at 4PM if you want to eat by 7PM. You get a reservation to show up in the line about 45 minutes later. You then stand in a line for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours before you get to eat! Is it worth it? I/we think not. The oysters were the biggest disappointment. They were not freshly shucked. They brought them out on huge trays and dumped them on the ice. They were very dirty and had an off-taste and texture, as if they had been shucked and frozen, or refrigerated for a long time. There was no liquor, or juice with the oysters. Crab legs were very good. Most fish was overcooked. It was a crapshoot, so you tried lots of things and there was lots of waste. This is abhorrent to us. People were rude, acting as if they were in a game show, where you competed for getting the food and how much of it you could eat before time was up. This was a strange environment, which I do not wish to revisit.
Drinks at the bar, "32", a draft beer bar where you can get 96 different draft beers: We sampled about five of them. Big Sky Moose Drool, Abita Amber, Young's Double Chocolate Stout and Abita Turbo Dog. I can't remember which I preferred..... all good…
We left Henderson, a suburb, the next morning before daylight. That may be the only reason we got out of the area, since they say bad things stay in Vegas…
We had breakfast in Kingman, AZ, at the Silver Spoon. We will address it in a future post.
Scargod, please keep the thread going. You gained a lot of creditability with me just for "panning" one of the Vegas buffets. They are not about good food, just making the "mark" think they got a "steal".
Mark gets me up before the crack of dawn and we hit the road. Our first stop was to take pictures of construction of a new bridge over the Colorado River, just below the Hoover Dam. In the dark the illuminated view was incredible.
We searched around the non-descript, Kingman, AZ for a place to eat breakfast and were finally directed to the Silver Spoon Family Restaurant, a '60's retro-futuristic diner. We both could not resist getting the special of pork and green chile omelet with biscuits and gravy. We had an awesome breakfast here. Our coffee cups were never empty. Supposedly this diner is one of the original "Route 66" buildings. It's architecture is very unique. The waitress told us the owner/cook is Greek and there is some Greek food on the menu. This is a gem, in the middle of nowhere. We highly recommend it!
Don't hesitate to stop and seek out a local for advice. This served us well throughout our trip!

re: Scargod
Hot damn, we now know there is in fact good food somewhere in Kingman!
Silver Spoon Family Restaurant
2011 E Andy Devine Ave, Kingman, AZ 86401
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
The green chile and pork omelet was excellent. I was in a big need of a green chile fix and it helped.
re: Scargod
Oh yeah.... that's better. I can see clearly now.
Seriously, What a fantastic time you two must have had. So far the report is just perfect for those following on your trail. I've only been to Dallas in the southern tier so I'm looking forward to the eastern seaboard leg.... that's my stomping grounds. Glad you're both home safe and sound.
re: Scargod
A couple of Fat Tires later, we are at Mark's property in New Mexico. That is a gypsum mine in the background. There were black seams of coal everywhere and stark white seams of gypsum.
There was a horse ranch below us and I scared up a jackrabbit, but no Micky D's! We're in God's country...
It's been six hours now, with only a beer in between; man am I hungry! It's going to be another hour and a half before we see salsa, chips and beer...
re: Scargod
Yes, we have a coal mine on the property and lots of pinon trees right at the foot of beautiful 11,300 ft Mt Taylor.
re: Scargod
The BBQ sliders were wicked good too.
Lunch on Saturday, the 18th: We drove some three hours, till we were starving; finally settling on El Falcone, a true Chowhound kind of place. The sign is in disrepair, as were many vehicles outside, but the food was fantastic. Lots of Mexicans/Indians were eating there. We had lunch of stacked green chile enchiladas and soft tacos and washed it down with Negra Modelos. Sometimes we were so eager to eat that the value of taking a photo was lost by the time we thought of it. Oops! Starving this soon after a huge breakfast is a bad omen…
Note the incredible 30 foot mural and Mark's Red Miata. We met a nice Aussie couple who were also doing a road trip. That's their real nice rental car next to us. As we left we came across the Casa Blanca Cafe, a very spiffy looking place, with nothing but upscale cars parked around it, but it was too late and we were already satiated.
re: Scargod
More green chile, yes!! Feeding my addiction. More, more, give me more.
re: Passadumkeg
This is the green chile enchilada, stacked w/ a fried egg. Yum.
re: Passadumkeg
I am a green chile junkie and a New Mexican food snob. But i was not overwhelmed by any of the 3 places we ate in Ariz. or NM. Maybe we should have hit Albuquerque where I used to teach in the Hispanic South Valley. Or is it just my memory has exaggerated the wonderful flavors of green chile. I wish we had time to stop at Padilla's or even the Frontier in Alb. Now I need to return to NM for a more extended green chile feed. Maybe build and adobe on our land.
Go Lobos!
The best green chile was the bowl on the side at the Lodge.
re: Passadumkeg
So, where is this place? Town?
TIA, Pete Tillman
re: Tillman
I'll answer for Pass: I believe you are referring to The Lodge, in Cloudcroft, NM, where we had some great green chiles with our Eggs Benedict (made with crab cakes). Green chiles not shown...
Dinner 18th: It was getting late and we were concerned that we might miss an opportunity for dinner if we waited till we landed in Cloudcroft, where we had a reservation at The Lodge. Seeing a Mexican restaurant in Socorro, NM, we jumped on it. At Armiljo's Mexican Restaurant we had a modest, but respectable NM-Mex meal. The salsa was smooth and red or green and baby shit like; both were tasty. I had a good tamale, but the stuffed sopapilla, beans and rice were average. Service was OK and the food was cheap. On a Saturday evening, they were not busy. It was a good value, though not very impressive. We had the view of a beautiful sunset, with clouds and some rain off in the distance. So far we have had perfect weather!
re: Scargod
May I just say that you paint a picture, most notably of the salsa, that sends me running from the room.....
re: Gio
Thanks! Which reminds me that I never had a problem with any of the food on the trip. Mark had one bad night, after eating several dozen oysters, but he quickly recovered. He slowed down for two subsequent meals. I tried to pick up the slack...
Pictures are of The Lodge in Cloudcroft, NM.
re: Scargod
I think I enjoyed the meal more than Tex. I go for the stuffed soppaillas and the regular sopapaillas w/ honey and the tamale. More Green chile, yes, yes! To hell w/ the beans and rice; who needs 'em w/ green chile in abundance? Baby shit? Naw, just salsa.
Breakfast, Sunday 19th: Rising at daybreak, we took the opportunity to take a few pictures while we waited till 7Am for the kitchen to open. They did have good, fresh brewed coffee for us as we waited. We both ordered the Eggs Benedict, made with crab cakes. I cannot say enough about the perfection of this breakfast and the almost pure crab cake.
Now, I am realizing that Mark is never satisfied with the menu "as usual". He is not bashful about asking for changes or substitutions, in a nice way. It is amazing what people will do for you if you coat your requests with the sugar of friendliness and respect. In this case, Mark asked if they had any green chiles. Amazingly, out came decent-sized bowls of wonderful green chiles, which were great with our eggs.
I hated to leave this beautiful setting atop a 9,000 foot mountain and the comfort of a old (originally 1899) and famous hotel, who's visitors included such notables as Poncho Villa, Judy Garland and Clark Gable. The bar is from Al Capone's place and many famous names are carved in the observation tower.
Still, the car, an unknown restaurant and our children beckoned. Mark has been very kind to let me drive the car in the most challenging and exciting stretches of roads. It was great driving down, out of the mountains. He has yet to flinch as I tossed his car through corners at more than twice the posted speed. The car was solid as a rock with Bridgestone Potenzas, newer shocks and fresh brakes.
BTW, Mark says you can tell a good restaurant by the ones that put lemon in the glasses of water... Other pics show diningroom and Al Capone's bar. We did not drink at the bar. We had our own bottle of Johnny Walker Black and per Veggo's inspiration, we have learned to "put air in the bottle"!
re: Scargod
Yes, after the drive, God Bless Johnny Walker. Scarman is a driving fool and really good at it. I think the old Miata (1990), whom I named Marisol, learned new tricks form Scargod and she likes to be spanked.
I'm fussy about my crab cakes and had them 3 times on the trip, but none compared w/ Maryland, Maine or even the ones I grew up w/ in NJ made by my mom. The breakfast was excellent, though and the coup de grace was the bowl or green chile. Did I mention how much I liked green chile.
I was last at The Lodge in '73 w/ my now deceased parents and my first wife. A special place.
Delightful posts
Wonderful trip
Great descriptions
I can smell the asphalt . . .
Looking forward to more! (and the real dirt)
This post is pretty long after you were in Kingman and probably you don't care all that much about this town anyway, but I am on Day 1 of a 12 day road trip to the Midwest and decided to make it kind of a local specialties eating odyssey. Hard to believe, but I found very little input about Kingman, AZ. I figured every little American town has its "finds," but all I found was your entry. So we had dinner at the Silver Family Restaurant (breakfast was not going to work for us).
There was meatloaf on the menu - my longtime favorite comfort food since childhood. I'm the product of Kansan Depression Era parents and can never resist trying one more version of this mysterious (sometimes delectable) meat concoction. Sorry to report that this was possibly the worst version I have ever tasted... sort of a combination of white bread and, well, meat, I guess. No other flavors to speak of, and the consistency was so similar to paste that it actually stuck to the roof of my mouth. It was cheap, though, served with mashed potatoes, canned gravy, iceburg lettuce salad, at just $5.69 for the senior plate. I covered it in hot sauce and ketchup and ate it anyway, chalking it up to "You never know unless you try." The all-you-can -eat fish fry looked pretty good across the aisle for just $8.99, but I didn't think Kingman would be the best place for fish. Oh well.
re: shelbones
I hate meatloaf made with white bread! Where were you brought up/what style? My mom would put a little old biscuit and Nabisco saltines in ours. A nice texture that was never gummy!

"Having the ERC help coordinate this experience has allowed me to connect my summer internship with my college education, and get credit for it."
This past summer presented a unique opportunity for educational ministries and communication studies double major Nate Sullivan. Sullivan, a junior, spent six weeks interning with Experience Mission, a short-term missions organization, where he traveled to different parts of the country as well as internationally working as a photojournalist.He spent his time with the organization independently traveling each week to a different community in which the organization was working. "I was responsible for gathering media that captured the face of each location and the work that was being done there," he said. "This included a minimum of 250 photographic images per week and three to four written articles about community stories." The internship was far from easy, though. His technical and photojournalistic skills were challenged on a weekly basis, but skills he honed in the classroom helped him excel in the field. "Through my studies of communications, ministry and missions, I had a lot of book knowledge relating to what I did over the summer. Having the opportunity to actually put theories, strategies and formulas into practice, however, was so useful in moving my understanding and perspective past the classroom and into the 'real world,'" he said. Sullivan said he is thankful for the opportunity he had this past summer, and said he learned how valuable an internship can be in helping you understand different aspects of the field you are studying. "I gained beneficial experience in photojournalistic work and the technical skills therein," he said. "On top of that, my perspectives toward ministry and faith were challenged and shaped in ways I had never anticipated. While my internship was far from easy, the lessons I took from it were and are invaluable." With a year left at HU, Sullivan said he will continue to seek out other internship opportunities, and he encourages others to do the same. The Enterprise Resource Center (ERC) was helpful in organizing the details to make this internship possible. "Having the ERC help coordinate this experience has allowed me to connect my summer internship with my college education, and get credit for it," he said. "Working with the ERC was easy and enjoyable."
