My old cat is very thin and underweight. I've just adopted a cat that could stand to lose a few (he has always been fed as much as he wanted at all times). How am I going to feed both, enough so the old cat still gets enough and in hopes of minimizing how much the overweight cat eats? |
Follow-Up Postings:
When you find out let me know. I have two cats 21 pounds and 19 pounds and then two normal weight ones , one a bit underweight.It's a problem because the 21 pound one lives to eat. When they get their morning wet food it's distributed in decreasing quantities from obese to skinny but the dry food is the problem. |
I brought all of my cats into healthy weight ranges by stopping dry food entirely. Skinny cats bulked up, fatty catties slimmed down. Something about the carbohydrates in dry food-think of empty calories and what they do to people. I've ranted about cereals in cat foods for years but now think that any carbs are very bad when too much are fed. Since dry foods need carbohydrates to hold the kibbles together, they're automatically high carb. It may not be horribly high but still is too high. Another problem is the portion sizes given by the cat food makers. It's always been far too much for my own cats. If you can visualise this, it helps to find the proper portion size for your cats, no matter how fat or thin they are: A cat's comfortably full stomach is about half the size of its head. So, a half-head-sized portion is about right for two or three feeds daily. Maybe try to slip in a dab more for the thin cat and a dab less for the heavy cat. My cats' vets thought this was hilarious when I told them about it. They'd been working with me on fat and skinny cats for some time before I stopped feeding dry food and started the tinned food. It took weeks to hit on the half head portions. Besides accomplishing proper weight, my cats shone with healthier coats, more energy and general good nature. |
The only way to adjust weight is to adjust caloric intake. Simple in theory, a bit more complicated in practice. I absolutely agree with minimizing or eliminating kibble and feeding canned food (or a homemade or raw diet) instead. Even the low-carb kibbles like EVO and CORE have a much higher carb content than most canned foods, and EVO and CORE are very high in both calories and fat. It will not be easy - and perhaps not even possible - to take weight off of your fatty as long as you free-feed him. Put him on three small meals a day, and cut back to two meals a day after a week. Believe me, he'll adjust to the portioned, scheduled meals just fine. I took a houseful of fat cats who were raised on free-choice kibble and switched them to portioned, scheduled meals with very little fussing on their behalfs. It took about 18 mos to bring them gradually down to optimal weights, but they all look great now. I weigh them all every two weeks and make slight adjustments to their individual food portions, if necessary, to maintain proper weights. Most of them are fed 1/8 c. of EVO kibble for one meal and between 2.2-3.8 oz of Raw Prey Model (a homemade raw diet) for the other meal. The RPM meal could just as easily be swapped for commercial canned, as far as quantity is concerned. While all of my other cats were needing to lose weight, my oldest was needing to gain. I just fed him under my watchful eye as many times a day as I could convince him to eat. If I couldn't supervise while he ate (to keep the other cats from bothering him), I just put him in a separate room to eat behind a closed door. I also fed him whatever he was willing to eat, even if it was low quality, "junk" canned food brands. If you haven't done so already, I strongly recommend you take your elderly cat to the vet for a full blood panel and Total T4 test to check his kidney, liver, and thyroid function, among other things. Skinny old cats often have diseased kidneys and/or thyroid glands, which can be treated and/or managed with proper care and medication. If your old cat has uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, you could feed him everything in your fridge without putting an ounce on him. Laurie |

If you want to free-feed the skinnier cat and give the heavier cat scheduled meals, I read something that may be helpful on another forum a week or so ago. Find or build a square enclosure for the food bowl similar to a milk crate. It should be totally enclosed on the top and three sides. The fourth side should have vertical wooden slats nailed to it. The space between the slats should be wide enough for your older cat to get in but too narrow for the heavier cat to do so. |

For my fosters, I just feed them 2x a day in separate bathrooms with the door closed until they've finished. Underweight kitties also get some NutriCal squeezed on their paws to lick off to increase their calorie content. Overweight kitties get individualized laser tag time until they are panting good and heavy. Just like humans, it's much harder to turn fat cats into svelte cats than it is to make skinny cats gain some chub. And, just like humans, the added exercise is they key to making it work. |

it was easy for me...a friend got me started on feeding the cats wet food to supplement the dry. My larger cat doesn't even touch it, the smaller cat gobbles it up. Strange. |
You can also do what some of my clients have done, as this is a pretty common situation. one method that works well is to get a durable cardboard box (large, like what a dishwasher might come in) and put the food dishes in there. Lid on it if fat cat can jump high... (but few cats, no well how good a jumpers they are, will purposely jump into a tall box without being able to see what's on the other side). Cut a small hole just large enough for the skinny cats to easily go through and get to the food, but way too small for the fat cat to get through. Feed the fat cat outside the box (as he is likely to gobble his/her food up immediately and then try to get to everyone else's). If you have a particulary determined fat cat, you can reinforce the hole with duct tape to increase the time the fat cat takes to actually tear its way into the food box. My sister did this and got her fat male cat to lose a lot of weight while her two skinny females maintained their slim figures. Worked perfectly. But ditto on the canned food idea, too, as canned food (high protein, lower carb) can 'normalize' a lot of cats that are not the proper weight. |

Both my fat cats lost weight when I switched from Science Diet dry food to Wellness canned food. I now give the oldest one (15) some EVO dry too because he lost too much. |
I have seven cats - too expensive to feed canned. I adopted an obese cat off the e-list at the shelter. She's a black tortie/declawed in front. Sweetheart. Long story short, i now am giving two meals of kibble a day. I put down lots of food and let them eat what they will until they are full. This takes maybe 15 minutes and they all walk away from the food. Again at 5 PM. I know they are hungry because they all meow at meals now. They didn't meow before on my previous system which was a failure. I think that cat GAINED weight. |

Item Description
This acclaimed amplifier is revered among owners of planar speakers (electrostatic, ribbon, etc) because of its ability to drive virtually ANY load presented with great musicality, control and finesse. The original iteration received Harry Pearson's "Editor's Choice / 4-star rating" award. The amplifier operates at very high voltage (90 volts+) and has a prodigious output of 300 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, (600 wpc into 4 Ohms, 1000 wpc into 2 Ohms…) and can safely drive a 1/2 Ohm load!
Unlike most high-power solid-state amplifiers (that have a tendency to sound hard and strident), the ESL-300 utilizes 36 bi-polar output devices -- 18 / channel. Each is capable of delivering 250 watts - combined, all are able to deliver a "staggering" 135 amps of current with a combined power rating of 4500 watts per channel! The ESL-300 design biases each transistor to operate at minimum output capacity -- ensuring that the amplifier is neutral and transparent, & exhibits a very relaxed, smooth and coherent signature, yet possesses tremendous power reserves making it able to drive any speaker with stunning authority. Designer Roger Sanders asserts that "because the amp has so much voltage and current capability, it virtually never clips and doesn't exhibit any transistor sound." Despite its tremendous power output, the amplifier (which runs in Class AB) runs very efficiently, using less than 3 watts / hour when idling.
This amp is in excellent operational condition with no issues. There are a couple of superficial scratches on the front faceplate (thus the "7/10 rating" see close-up), otherwise, the amp is in near MINT condition. The Mk2 iteration improves upon the original with upgraded parts and improved performance.

Thank you.

2nd Metra board member resigns
A second Metra board member has resigned in the wake of the controversy over the $718,000 severance package awarded to the agency's ousted CEO and the furor over patronage allegations involving House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Paul Darley, who represented DuPage County on the board, announced his resignation Tuesday in a letter to county Chairman Dan Cronin.
Darley, an Elmhurst businessman who has been on the commuter rail agency board for the past two years, said it was a "difficult" decision because he had agreed to serve as a civic duty.
"On one hand, I feel I am abandoning the Metra team at a time when it faces monumental issues, aside from this discreditable (severance) settlement and patronage situation," Darley wrote. "On the other hand, there are a lot of other places where I can invest my time and talents and won't involve Illinois politics."
Several Illinois legislators among others have called on Metra's board, particularly Chairman Brad O'Halloran, to resign after the board's June 21 decision to award Alex Clifford the severance deal, which could end up paying him as much as three times his annual salary.
Darley and other board members have defended the settlement, saying it was a prudent business decision.
"As hard as it is to swallow, the settlement was in the best interest of our riders, Metra employees and taxpayers," Darley wrote.
Cronin supported Darley, whom he had appointed, noting that Darley had donated his $15,000-a-year salary to charity and turned down other benefits. Cronin said he also backed the decision to approve the severance deal.
Neither Darley nor Cronin was available for comment.
Darley's resignation follows that of Mike McCoy, who represented Kane County. McCoy quit July 19, saying he no longer had "the time or the energy" to continue serving.
Some others on Metra's 11-member board have said they stand behind their vote on the package. Only board member Jack Schaffer of Lake County voted against the deal.
Clifford spurred anger at a hearing July 17 before the Regional Transportation Authority and in an eight-page memo by charging that O'Halloran and board member Larry Huggins improperly interfered with his authority and with the awarding of a $93 million construction contract.
More significantly, Clifford alleged that Madigan helped bring about his downfall after Clifford refused to give a raise to a Metra worker who was a Madigan foot soldier, promote another and hire a third person.
O'Halloran and Huggins have denied the allegations, as has Madigan.
On Tuesday, state Rep. David Harris, R-Arlington Heights, reiterated his demand that O'Halloran step down, after the Tribune disclosed that O'Halloran received a salary from his position as an Orland Park village trustee at the same time he was receiving compensation at Metra, which is prohibited by state law.
"Mr. O'Halloran's actions have further demonstrated that he has no regard for the proper accountability and handling of public funds," Harris said.

MISSOULA — A 38-year-old Kalispell woman has pleaded guilty to repeatedly defrauding federal programs designed to aid low-income families.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Wendy Renee Houser-Bond pleaded guilty on Dec. 6 to theft of federal property by fraud after receiving nearly $41,000 in food stamps and other benefits to which she was not entitled. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy of Missoula scheduled sentencing for March 20.
Prosecutors say Houser-Bond underreported her family's income from September 2002 through December 2008 and obtained more than $29,000 in food aid to which she was not entitled.
Court records say she and her family illegally collected more than $10,000 in welfare benefits in Washington state from September 2010 through May 2011 and another $1,700 in Montana from June 2011 until May 2012.

A Yummy Dinner
At one of our wedding showers my grandma gave me a recipe book filled with some of my favorite recipes that she prepared for me while growing up. I use it all the time!
After I got good at those recipes and became a little more confidant in my cooking abilities, I started seeking out new recipes online and trying out new dishes.
One thing I love about blogging is all of the great recipe blogs, and I love when blog friends share their favorite recipes.
I found myself using recipe blogs so much, that I went and bought a notebook so I could print out all the recipes and keep them in my very own notebook. I use it all the time!
One of my most favorite recipe blogs is of course Mimi's Making Meals.
Tonight I tried her Stuffed Pepper Soup. Can you say AMAZING??
It was SO amazing and SO easy to make! We gobbled it right up!
Here I am preparing the soup. This is what I look like at 7:00 at night, I have not applied makeup since 6 in the morning and I put sweats on as soon as I get home from work. Please excuse my look.Luke loved it! Here he is at our kitchen table. There is no room in our apartment for a table so we eat all of our meals on the couch. Tonight was the perfect night for this soup, it is cold and rainy here. We are supposed to get a wintery mix of snow and ice tomorrow.
The university that I work at even cancelled classes tomorrow afternoon! How crazy is that?!!? Nothing has even happened yet, and they already cancelled I thought it was kinda weird.
But I have the afternoon off, so I am fine with it! I plan on going shopping and using gift cards that I got for my birthday!
Forever 21 here I come!!!
Yay for a snow day in March!!

I wish that I could look that adorable at 7:00 at night! (or any time for that matter!)
I am behind on my blog reading, but just wanted to say thanks so much for the shout out. I am so glad that you and Luke liked it and it sounded like it was the perfect night for it.
That particular soup is one of my favorites, too, because I am a huge fan of Stuffed Peppers. Not sure if you saw my post on my blog about my husband making it the other night. Look out ---we might have a "Poppa's Making Meals" soon! - March 30, 2009 at 5:23 PM

Product Summary:
Prevue Calypso Creations Fiesta Ball Bird Toy Ensure that the mind, beak and feet of your bird remains absolutely active with the help of the Prevue Calypso Creations Fiesta Ball Bird Toy. It comes equipped with hundreds of colorful paper crinkles that effortlessly grab the attention of your pet birds. Hand-woven seagrass mesh ball is flawlessly created to serve up an endless supply of nest-building fun or tuck your own treats and toys inside as tantalizing foraging rewards. The included metal quick link and hanging chain enables convenience of mounting inside the cage or out. Product Features:
Item Specifications: Instructions: Cleaning Instructions: Toys should be cleaned weekly. Remove from cage and wipe off toy with warm water and a soft cloth. Allow toys to dry completely before returning them to your bird's cage. It is a good idea to have two or more sets of toys so clean, dry ones can be quickly placed back in the cage while the other set dries. Discard any toy that does not come clean, is frayed or broken. Playtime Recommendations: Interacting with your bird is every bit as important as providing an interesting environment. The key to keeping your bird happy is the frequency of attention, not the duration. A few minutes of attention every half hour or so works wonders to relieve stress. Mental growth comes from engaging in a variety of life experiences. Experiment to discover the types of toys your bird finds the most interesting and challenging. Keep in mind that no matter which toys you provide and regardless of how intriguing, your bird will eventually tire of them. It is important not to place too many toys in the cage at once, which may over-stimulate your bird and cause stress. It's better to choose a select few and to rotate them every few days.

Are your business cards earning their keep? If they are stuck in a drawer, a pocket, a wallet or a glove box of the car, not only are they not working for you, but also, they are costing money. Here are some easy-to-implement tips for getting those valuable marketing pieces out of your briefcase, office or vehicle and into the hands of qualified prospects for your goods and services.
With the state of the anemic economy and shrinking budgets, more and more consumers are turning to couponing as a way to ease the sticker shock of buying products and services. Coupons and special incentives are an excellent way to reward loyal customers, attract new customers, encourage people to try your product or service, or generate repeat visits to your storefront or website, especially if you offer a coupon for a discount on a future visit. Now, picture that coupon on the back of your business card and you have a vision of how you can leverage your cards for more marketing advantages.
Just as popular in today's economic climate, if not more so, are free samples or trial offers. By giving potential new customers the opportunity to try before they buy, their anxiety about the risk of trying a new product or service is lessened. In addition, you increase your odds of capturing a repeat customer for your goods.
Passive Marketing
While passive marketing will not generate huge returns on your investment, it never hurts to keep your pipeline populated. A simple way to do this is by including your business card in all your promotional materials, invoices and other distributed information. Pinning your business card to community bulletin boards or asking non-competitive businesses to let you leave some cards on display in their business are some other examples of passive marketing.
Giving your loyal customers a recurring discount for bringing in new business is a smart way to increase your bottom line and reward your customer base. An easy way to do this is have some of your business cards printed with a special discount code, and then give the coded cards to your customers. Ask them to write their name on the back of the cards and hand them out to friends associates. Each time someone redeems a card, your customer receives a credit. Once they understand what's in it for them, you might be surprised at how many referrals they will send your way.
Cost Effectiveness
What would you pay to get 1,000 unique visitors to your website, or 1,000 new customers coming through the doors of your store? While you will not convert 1,000 prospects from your next batch of 1,000 business cards, at an average cost of 2.5 to 10 cents per card, it's a pretty small price to pay for some mega marketing exposure. Even if you only convert one or two prospects to new clients, would it be worth the expense?
Visit our sister store Metropolitan Digital to get 50 free business cards and remember, you'll always save 25 percent on all business printing!

...Read moreThe Ethiopian International Taekwon-Do Association General Assembly conducted its meeting on August 30, 2014 at Beshale Hotel Meeting Hall.
Whereas, four regional representatives were present during the meeting:
These were, representatives of Addis Ababa International Taekwon-Do Association,
Representatives of Oromia Region International Taekwon-Do Association
Representatives of Amhara Region International Taekwon-Do Association
Representatives of Benishangul Gumuz Region International Taekwon-Do Association,
Though the representatives from South Region and Dire Dawa Town Administration were absent due to problems which were beyond their capacity, since four regions were present among the regions to establish a quorum, the meeting was commenced with an opening statement from Sabom Wogayehu Behailu, the president of the Ethiopian International Taekwondo Association. Whereas, a thorough discussion was conducted on the presented written and verbal explanation of the performance of the year 2013/2014, Audit Report and plan for the year 2014/2015; approval was rendered for the matters thereon. Whereby, Mr. Tamirat Feyisa, who is the president of the Ethiopian International Taekwondo Federation and Mrs. Wengel, the head of trainings of the Ethiopian International Taekwondo Federation, who were participating in the meeting as a witness also rendered their comments and recommendation. The meeting was concluded with a luncheon.
...Read moreHuman life does not always run smoothly and is often affected by turbulent phases, major challenges or even tragic moments. A young TKD athlete from Ethiopia, Kemal Kasim, has sustain a blow of fate already with 6 years when he (after the civil war in Ethiopia) lost his right leg above the knee playing on a tank. But he did not crush - he even has gained strength. In 1996 he started with TKD, became a coach and an example for many of us (see also the video of his breaking demonstration on our ITF website). Today he is 24 years old and on 31.07.2014 he has passed his examination to 3rd degree. I had the honor to promote him to his 3rd degree and can say that he has passed the promotion with flying colours.
Download the clip (mp3, 3.4 MB)
His life-story and his development are my motivation to start a foundation to allow him a prosthetic leg. Because of his financial situation he cannot afford this and also the technical and medical options are not given in his home country. For this reason I want to invite him to Germany (he can live in my house) for about three or four weeks, where all the requirements are fulfiled. The cost of an artificial leg with necessary precaution and aftercare will be approximately € 10,000.00 (including the flight to Germany). Who is willing to support this project has the opportunity to donate money. The donations should be addressed under the keyword "Kemal Kasim" to the ITF which manages the money.
Bank of the ITF in Spain:
Bank Name: Deutsche Bank
I am thanking you in advance for the humanitarian gesture to support our TKD-brother and allow him a new life. I will continuously inform about the progress of donations and also about the current status of things.
Yours sincerely

December 17, 2012 | Great Amp |
Review by
jocelyn from silver city, NM
This amp is auwsome I have it with the Boston g1 dual sub box I also got from this site and sounds very crisp n clear with about 500 Watts. RMS on 13.75 volts very clean deep bass u can get the Boston G1 dual 12s with this amp, that's a great buy and combo definitely recommend Boston products as well as this site.
August 7, 2012 | Can't go wrong! |
Review by
Pascal from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada
I'm using 4 of these to power 2 component units in my SUV (1 amp per door) and the power is mindblowing. Nice look, easy setup, good build quality. For the price, you just can't go wrong. I've put 3 stars for reliability because they're brand new and i don't know how reliable they will be.
July 28, 2012 | recommended for running woofers also |
Review by
Parker from Fargo ND
Great amp. Boston acoustic, need I say more? Running 2 fifteen inch Boston acoustic g2s on it 300 rms a piece @ 2 ohm bridge and it sounds so nice! Crisp, pure, clean hard low thumping bass. It does get warm at 2 ohm bridge but the heat sink and cooling fan does do there jobs leaving it warm not hot... Frequency reach is unbelievable. Anything from rock, screamo, country, hip hop, dub step everything it plays perfect. If I could id keep this system for life
June 27, 2012 | dont bother buying another amp |

andrew from oakley, CA
this amp is incredible boston acoustics has always been a choice of mine best bang for buck ever
March 14, 2012 | Made my speakers ear piercing |
Review by
Ty from Livonia, MI
Bought this amp when it was $300 and it is worth every penny then, now I see it listed at for a little higher an I'm a bit jealous now. If you're considering this amp I don't know if you can find a better amp for the price. I have both sets of my infinity perfect 6.1 speakers hooked up to this guy and they absolutely scream with clarity.
For those of you who have the infinity perfect 6.1 speaker and are having impedance issues with the speakers driving the amp into protect mode, if you do enough research you'll see that some of these speakers have impedance issues, maybe from the crossovers. But i have not had an issues with my speakers on this amp. I have each set wired in series so the amp is seeing 8 ohms a channel, but since there are these impedance issues, or whatever you want to call it, i dont know what the actual resistance is, but i know the amp has never went into protect and i haven't blown a speaker. Have the gain at 4V and had to turn the tweeter setting to -4dB. Hope that helps someone with the infinity perfect 6.1 impedance/clipping problem. I tried the Infinity Reference 475a and rockford amps and they all went into protect unless i wired in series and kept the gain really low. This amp should not have a problem though
January 21, 2011 | Awesome amp! |
Review by
Grant from Manitoba, Canada
I bought this and hooked it up with an 12" Alpine Type R. WOW. This thing puts out unreal power! Better than a Alpine 500 Amp with 2 type S's.

car audio retailer. from billings mt.
Boston gt series amplifiers are the best. Just compare the thd- distortion level. Also they have by far the widest range of frequency reproduction of any amp I have ever seen! And that is all you need for a crystal-clear extremely loud system. Buy these amps for subs and interior. U won't regret it.

It is basically awesome how technological innovation seems to be making anything possible and everything just a few mouse clicks away. We are able to understand, discover and buy things without even going out of our houses these days. In fact, you do not even need to own an actual piano any longer to be able to study one. You can now obtain exclusive pianos from the online sources that will allow you to understand how to study songs and play a piano as if it was the genuine factor. Play piano online is trending in rapid pace in today's world and there are millions of takers from all across the globe.
Learning how to try out a play piano online can serve all the stages of the gamers, especially the newbie's for sure. This is because it will give the beginner an opportunity to see if enjoying the piano is right for them, before they make a large collection of the money to purchase a piano and personal training. To be able to understand to try out an online piano, all you will need to do is obtain the system and particularly connect an inexpensive key-board to your PC via the USB slot and you are ready to use.
It can be a great way for the mother and father to educate their kids how to learn the songs and in the piano. If your kid does not end up displaying an interest, then nothing is missing for sure. On the other side, if your kid really requires some intensive training, then they will feel more assured when you shift them up to an actual category with a actual piano. An easy change from play piano online to the playing of an actual piano will be knowledgeable and your kid will become assured and desperate to understand.
Also as a matured person, many of us wish to understand piano but just basically don't have the time for the proper and intensive training. We are all living very active lifestyles these days and trying to add to that can just end up worrying us out. When you figure out how to try out to play piano online, you learn whenever you want.Whether you are in the lawn, the office or on the bus, as long as you have a computer and internet, you can engage in an online piano playing effectively. Even without the key-board, you will still be able to exercise your skills wherever you are and whenever you choose.
Study piano on the internet and find out just how skilled you can be. Whether you are someone who would really like to just study the piano or you would basically like to look into a refresher course to get yourself back into form, you can find that it's about a chance to look into on the internet lessons! More and more people are recognizing how easy it is to get going with play piano online basically through using the sources that they find out on the internet and regardless of what your stage of skills are, you can find this is something that can create a significant distinction in the way that you progress.

Making real money online may seem impossible to some people since there are many affiliate sites and marketing ploys masking as real money making opportunities to scam people into visiting certain websites without getting anything in return.
Sometimes, what seems like a legitimate way to make money online sounds like a dream someone created just to trick you into paying large sums of money.
If you are tired of the search and ready to give up looking for real ways to earn money online after being scammed several times, this is the perfect time to try Google Sniper and see that it is different from others.
Google Sniper has its pros and cons, but the cons are nowhere close to making the product a scam. Devoting enough time and effort to learn the ins and outs using this Google Sniper 2.0 review can earn you a reasonable amount of money over time. This is unlike other marketing schemes that promise a load of cash immediately after you sign up or download the product.
What is Google Sniper 2.0 Exactly?
Google Sniper 2.0 is a webpage development product and an affiliate marketing training course rolled into one. Getting Google Sniper 2.0 will allow you to create simple WordPress blogs to make an extra income online.
The product is best for small one-page sites with an average of three to five posts which does not include the About Me, Contact Me, or the Policy pages.
Pros of Google Sniper 2.0
The main great thing about Google Sniper 2.0 is that it does not leave you hanging after paying for it. It has all the features that you paid for and a great support system that ensures the ease of using the product.
Unlike other money-making schemes found online, this product does not propose to give more than the time and effort you devoted to it. If you work hard to understand the product, you can certainly earn and learn more in the process.
Included in the Google Sniper 2.0 is a comprehensive training package with downloadable manuals to work as a guide to using the product. Aside from the manuals, the package also includes myriad of how-to videos for the step-by-step procedures involved in the website and SEO creation process. If you are a visual person, these videos can certainly help when using the package.
The great thing about these videos is that it is not a random guy going through the website making steps for you. Most of the video tutorials include George Brown teaching the process or his business partner Anthony.
George Brown is the one behind this product, so to have the manufacturer himself teach the users how to set up websites and conduct SEO is really a big plus point for the product. This feature differentiates Google Sniper 2.0 from other money-making schemes online.
Aside from the manuals and the videos, users of the Google Sniper 2.0 are privileged to join a webinar monthly so that they will be updated on the latest trends. Webinars can be quite costly, but the Google Sniper 2.0 offers this for free.
Users of this product will also have the opportunity to clarify certain concerns, ask any questions, and solve specific problems they have with the product during the webinars. The webinars also include critique websites for users wanting to hear recommendations and feedback on how to improve the sites that they have set up.
The comprehensive webinars add legitimacy to discredit Google Sniper scam claims. These features also set it apart from other products promising the moon and stars but are scams in reality.
The manuals included in the package are not just scraps of paper with few instructions. The manuals are really comprehensive. Each user gets a 104-page, very detailed manual with big color illustrations when they get the Google Sniper 2.0 download.
Illustrations can certainly help anyone struggling with the website creation process especially if it is their first time to create websites. A flowchart is also thrown in the package which comes in handy when you want to keep track of your progress of creating Google Sniper 2.0 sites.
George Brown also included a course on Empire Building with the Google Sniper 2.0. Empire Building is the term used by George Brown google sniper to describe the process of making more sites after you already created some as well as outsourcing as many of the processes as you can so that you can earn more money.
Empire Building is designed for those who are already well-versed with the Google Sniper 2.0 product.
New users who have not successfully created websites will have difficulty understanding Empire Building. However, the fact that a more advanced feature is being offered through the package is a sign that George Brown did not come up with the product to scam anyone. It reflects Brown's anticipation that majority of the users of Google Sniper 2.0 will last long in the program.
The program also comes with a support section where users can pose their questions anytime they have some. For example, if you are struggling with a process and the webinar is not until the next week, then you can go to this support section and ask away by submitting a question.
A ticket will be generated, tracked, and someone from Google Sniper 2.0 support system will get back with an answer to the question in a day or two.
Cons of Google Sniper 2.0
Like the disclaimer given right at the very start, Google Sniper 2.0 is not a perfect product. There are bad points about the product, but these negative points are surpassed by the positive ones and these negative points can be resolved.
The cons of Google Sniper 2.0 do not make the product a scam. In fact, these cons make it more legitimate and real. A product that is too good to be true is nine times out of ten, not true indeed.
The first negative point of the Google Sniper 2.0 is that because it gives users so much information, manuals, videos, and all sorts of features designed to help beginners. As a result, they are likely to suffer the consequences of information overload.
Creating your first website with all the information can become tiring and confusing. However, this is normal. After successfully creating one or two websites, you will be able to create more websites quickly until it almost becomes second nature.
You can expect to get really cranky during the first few tries, but sticking with the product can improve your chances of making money online.
Another negative point about Google Sniper 2.0 is that it cannot guarantee that you will learn the art of finding good keywords and LSI keywords. George Brown does his best to teach the users how to find keywords, but this cannot guarantee that you will be able to find them all the time. This is not really a problem. You can always search for more tricks and strategies around the web.
Users Feedback of Google Sniper 2.0
Users around the web can attest that Google Sniper 2.0 is not a scam and that they have earned reasonable income using it. Some users even have websites that ranked number one on the first page of Google because of this product.
Novice users who have not created websites ever before using this product can also attest to its user-friendliness.
It is easy to say money-making opportunities online are scams because most of them are. However, GSniper 2.0 is not. If you are looking for a product that can help you earn a reasonable amount of money, then Google Sniper 2.0 is a good product; even though you really have to devote some time and effort to learning the product and sticking by it. If you are looking for a get-rich quick scheme, then this is not the product for you.

The dog whisperer did a show on wolf hybrids. I've got it on tape and haven't watched it but that's what I'll be doing here soon.
From the commercial it sounded like it might give people a good idea of what the wolf hybrids are like. The show repeats this Friday so check your local listings for the time. I'll post a bit more on it tomorrow after I watch it here. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I saw it last week and they stress how wolves and dogs should never be cross bred. It was an amazing show and the two wolf experts Caesar brought in did an excellent job explaining just a few of the problems an owner can expect with the wolf hybrids. IMO, it's ridiculous that breeding these two genetically different animals was ever allowed. |
- Posted by christine1950 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 2, 10 at 9:53
I saw the show also and I feel it did a great job of showing people what a bad idea it is to breed them and have them as pets, wolf's belong in the wild just like bears,tigers etc. You will enjoy the show I'm sure :>) Christine |
Actually dogs and wolves are the same species, canis lupus, just different subspecies which is why they can so easily breed. Dogs are canis lupus domesticalis and wolves are canis lupus lupus. That said, wolves are not pets. Hybrids are unpredictable at best; while I know of some who act just like dogs others are sketchy to downright feral. Problem is most people can't even train a domestic dog properly so training a potentially dangerous wild or semi-wild animal is simply asking too much. |
- Posted by archimedes (My Page) on Tue, Nov 2, 10 at 21:03
If you or anyone is thinking about getting a wolf hybrid then this is a good show to watch BEFORE buying one. After watching the show I'd say they did a very good job of showing you what some of the things you'll be up against if you get a wolf/dog hybrid and the requirements they need. As one of the wolf experts said that the wolves instincts are more primal in nature than domestic dogs and their body language is also harder to read which makes it harder to handle them. Why someone would still want one after knowing this without educating themselves first is beyond me. What I found sad is when the guy from Mission Wolf said that there are an estimated 300,000 to 2.5 million hybrids which is more than there are wolves out in the wild and in captivity combined. In the past couple of years he's had to turn away over 6,000 people who wanted to get rid of their hybrid wolves. OUCH! This means these poor animals are going to pay with their lives all because of the greed of man. The one good thing that came out of the show was Milo Sanchez who was and is willing to educate himself about hybrids and go the extra mile with the one he rescued. Now he is the type of person that when you see them you should thank them for being caring enough to go that extra mile to help these wolf hybrids or any other type of animal for that matter. |

I've met only 2 wolves or wolf hybrids, not sure which, & they both scared the bejeebers out of me, not physically but mentally; they were just not tuned in to living in a human world. The first one was running loose in the feed store where there was a pen with 2 terrified mother goats & their 3 babies. The wolf was trying to get into the pen, & he ignored all the customers' yells to get away, stay away, etc. He had eyes & ears for no one but his owner, & the owner was oblivious (outside putting feed in his truck while his wolf ran rampant through the store!), & those goats were prey. Five feet three & 120 pounds that I am, I sort of wish I had knocked the owner silly. The other one was at the vet; Thank goodness nobody brought in a cat while he was lying there watching everything. I love wolves, but wolves belong to the wild. |

Seems to me that with so many breeds of 'domestic' dogs out there, you wouldn't want one that was part wild. Just asking for problems, IMHO. |

Life, Sex and Ideas: The Good Life Without God, by AC Grayling
A review by Dallas Gaytheist
If, from reading this book's tagline, you were to assume that it is a self-help book for atheists, or a book on honing your lifestyle skills, you would be sadly mistaken. It is nothing as ridiculous as that.
I suspect this tagline was chosen by the publisher because it sounded more controversial. This suspicion is reinforced by the fact that its inclusion meant that the word "life" would be included twice in the title—surely something the author would not have overlooked. Be that as it may, this book is definitely not a self-help book.
Really, it is simply a collection of very brief essays—most not longer than two or three pages—on a variety of topics, such as morality, education, slavery, profit, experience, marriage, guns, politics, etc.
This is the first book I've read by Grayling, and really my first look at him as a philosopher. I knew his name, and have seen one video in which he appears, but nothing more.
Grayling strikes me as a thoughtful man who has spent many hours in quiet contemplation genuinely trying to understand the world around him. His insights on human nature are, for the most part I believe, quite accurate, if not a bit more forgiving than we are used to seeing from today's intellectuals.
Still, I cannot say that I agreed with him on everything.
Although he shows nothing but well-deserved contempt for religion and its adherents, he is certainly not a hardcore cynic. In fact, he strikes me as more accommodating and supportive than most people these days. His critiques are not meant to demoralize humanity, but to enrich it by reminding us of our accomplishments and potential.
I am attaching scans of some of the chapters below so that you may read a sample of Graylings writing style and ideas.

SO wants nameberry ideas for middle name
I was shocked when my SO saw me on nameberry and asked if I could ask people for suggestions for a middle name. He has said in the past that he didn't need random people to tell him what sounded good, and that the name would just come to him one day, so I am still pretty surprised.
The last name is Knapp, pronounced like nap. The first name will be Griffin.
We have considered Thomas since it is my SOs middle name, but he can't seem to commit to it. We have also considered Beau to honor my father, but it doesn't quote flow right, and my SO really wants a name that sounds put together and thought out in its rhythm and sounds, if you know what I mean.
So let the Berry creative juices flow! We would both love suggestions since I am 30 weeks now. Thanks everyone!Mommy to a beautiful baby boy!Griffin Adam~~~~~~Favorite girls names: Mirabelle Irene, Aurora Faye, Seraphina Louise, Cordelia Isobel, Serena Lux, Rosamund Fable, Elowen Phoenix, Calliope Eve

In terms of flow, I like the 3-syllable options personally, so that you have 2-3-1 (all different). Although Griffin Thomas Knapp is a great name. 4 syllables is also good (the classic Alexander works with basically everything, and I think pp suggestion Emmanuel works incredibly well). Some that haven't already been suggested:
Griffin Alistair Knapp
Griffin Anthony Knapp
Griffin Barnaby Knapp
Griffin Christopher Knapp
Griffin Dominic Knapp
Griffin Elijah Knapp
Griffin Elliott Knapp
Griffin Everett Knapp
Griffin Frederick Knapp

Oct 22, 2013 11:37 AM by Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco Bay Area's main commuter train system is running limited service Tuesday morning after a tentative deal was struck to end a commute-crippling four-day strike.
Bay Area Rapid Transit tweeted that riders should expect up to 45-minute delays system wide as the trains get back on track.
Union officials announced the deal Monday night. It still requires approval from union members, then from the Bay Area Rapid Transit's board of directors.
The talks between BART and its two largest unions dragged on for six months- a period that saw two chaotic dayslong strikes, contentious negotiations and frazzled commuters wondering if they would wake up to find the trains running or not.

I had a bit of an embarrassing (and somewhat scary) situation today. In fact, it's embarrassing enough that I'm a bit reluctant to post it here. However, its nowhere near as embarrassing as taking a chunk out of your hand with an ND (though for a little while today, I thought it might have been) and I figure that if Eric can fess up to that in the interests of helping somebody learn something, I can follow his example endure some (well justified) ridicule for what I did today.
I'm a graduate student at the University of Utah, which gives me a rather flexible schedule, and allows me to carry my gun at school (gotta love Utah's great preemption law). Today I spent most of the morning futzing around doing a bunch of little stuff (including reading this forum) before leaving for school. When I finally left, I was in a bit of a hurry, but I made it to class on time (I'm the instructor for this class, so it really doesn't behoove me to be late). After teaching my class, I decided to go get some lunch before my office hours started. About halfway over to the student union I (finally) noticed something funny. It took a second to figure out what it was, then I realized my holster was empty!
Oh crap! I must have left my gun at home.
Then, a couple of seconds later, the other possibility hit me.
OH CRAP! What if I didn't leave my gun at home? Could it have come out or gotten left somewhere, sometime during the morning?
I think back, did I have the gun out of the holster anytime during the morning? Nope. At school my gun stays strictly in the holster (unless I'm disarming to go in the post office). Did I do anything where it could have fallen out? Well, my carry method is pretty secure (a good IWB kydex holster under a cover garment, in this case a 5.11 vest). I've never had the gun come loose before. Even if it did, I think I would have noticed it clattering to the ground. I'm not oblivious enough to miss that, am I? Well, until today I thought I wasn't oblivious enough to walk around with an empty holster for a few hours without noticing, so it might just be possible.
So at this point I'm not quite in a panic, but I'm getting pretty close. Trying to keep it together, I retrace my steps back to my office, check around my desk, go back to the classroom where I taught and check around the podium there. I decided this was serious enough to skip out on my office hours and head home, so I packed up my stuff. My apartment is a 20 minute walk from campus, and I retraced the path I took this morning exactly, trying simultaneously to hurry and to keep an eye out for a carelessly dropped pistol.
All this time, the prospect of having to call the police and report loosing my pistol was hanging over me like a dark cloud. The supreme embarrassment of having my friends and acquaintances find out I carry because I lost my pistol was just too much to consider.
Finally I make it home, rush into the bedroom and find my pistol sitting next to the bed in the usual overnight spot. Whew! Was that a big sigh of relief!
Obviously this situation could have been a lot more dire: I might have needed my pistol sometime this morning and not had it, if I really had lost it somewhere someone could have taken it and used it to commit a crime or some kid could have found it an accidentally shot himself or someone else, the list goes on (I live alone, but if I had kids, there are obviously a bunch of dire consequences that could have arisen from leaving my pistol unattended on the nightstand as well). Half an hour of severe stress on my part is probably the best of all possible outcomes for this situation.
So how did this happen? Well, before I left for school this morning I transferred my EDC gear from the pair of pants I was wearing yesterday to a pair that had just come out of the wash. To do this, I generally take the gun out of the holster and put it on the nightstand (it's a lot easier to get the holster slid inside the waistband and the clips properly in place without the pistol in there). In my rush to get out the door, I must not have replaced the pistol in the holster. My holster has a sweat guard, so the pressure of the holster against my body isn't really that different whether I've got the gun in there or not (especially since I've lost a little weight). The only real oppurtunities to notice are the weight lack of weight on my hip, the grip's interaction with my cover garment, and whether my arm brushes up against it. Before today I would have said that I'd easily notice these things, but that obviously isn't always the case.
What lessons will I take away from this? #1 is that I need to check to be sure I have everything important before I walk out the door: keys, mags, cellphone, flashlight, knife, and gun. This is like a preflight checklist, no flying unless everything checks out. Second, I won't assume that I'll immediately notice when something is missing or out of place. I need to make a conscious effort to check the status, not just when I leave the house, but throughout the day.
Bottom line is I did something stupid today. Thankfully, it turned out that my stupidity never really posed a danger to anyone, but there were some anxious moments in there. Now I need to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Subtropical saw-grass marsh region, southern Florida, U.S. Covering more than 4,300 sq mi (11,100 sq km), the area has water moving slowly through it from the lip of Lake Okeechobee to mangrove swamps bordering the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Bay. Everglades National Park, established in 1947, encompasses the southwestern portion of the marsh, covering 2,357 sq mi (6,105 sq km). The largest subtropical wilderness left in the continental U.S., it has a mild climate, which provides an environment for myriad birds, alligators, snakes, and turtles. A large portion of the glades has been reclaimed by drainage canals, altering the habitats of many species.

Easy DIY Summer Table Centerpiece
It takes just a few items you already have on hand to make a "natural" centerpiece without any fuss, bother or cost. Bring nature indoors with this simple project that can help inexpensively decorate for a party or just provide natural beauty in your home.
What you need
Assorted stones
Glass bowl
Small flowers or leaves
How to
- Lay the rocks along the center of the table, meandering like a river bed. Make it as wide or narrow as you like depending on the width of your table.
- Fill bowl partially with water and float flowers or leaves, then place bowl at one end of rocks with a few surrounding it.
You also could add some beeswax votives in the center or even float one in the bowl. If you own a small fountain, you might want to use it in place of the bowl and if you happen to have some shells on hand, add them in, along with anything else you think will add to the scene.
That's it!
Couldn't be easier.

This is so beautiful, I wanted to share it with you all here.
Life presses us all with so much, often it seems there is no time or place for us to consider thoughts that do not involve the nuts and bolts of daily life, and it is sometimes difficult to keep these ideas in mind at all. But we should remember that any efforts at reaching out to what is beyond our Ego, beyond our personal considerations, offer peace and a perspective that can make even the most difficult times more manageable. Seek peace, for even the mention of enlightenment and release from suffering brings hope to the soul, for the light becomes visible and beckons us forward.
Rumi, Say I Am You
life. It can beI am dust particles in sunlight.
I am the round sun.To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.I am morning mist,
and the breathing of evening.
I am wind in the top of a grove,
and surf on the cliff.Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,
I am also the coral reef they founder on.I am a tree with a trained parrot in its branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.The musical air coming through a flute,
a spark of stone, a flickering in metal.
Both candle and the moth crazy around it.
Rose, and the nightingale lost in the fragrance.I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
the evolutionary intelligence, the lift, and the falling away.What is, and what isn't.
You who know, Jelaluddin,
You the one in all, say who I am.
Say I am you.
