the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
In the wild your cat would get perfectly balanced, ideal nutrition, neatly wrapped into one small package: a mouse. The best commercial cat foods essentially try to replicate that delicate balance of proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Some do a surprisingly accurate job, critics say. However, caring cat owners need to be wary as lots of cat foods fall woefully short. That said, we found good, species appropriate cat foods at nearly every price point -- from 70-cent canned supermarket cat food to $40 bags of frozen gourmet duck for your cat.
Among cat foods, there are three main choices:
Canned cat food is the top choice of many experts. Among other things, it packs plenty of moisture. That's important for a cat's health as their lack of a natural thirst drive can lead some to become dangerously dehydrated. Canned foods -- at least the best ones -- also usually pack more meat and less starch than dry food.
Dry cat food is more convenient then canned, but some experts say dry-fed cats don't get enough moisture. Others say dry food works fine. Meat-rich dry cat foods with little or no grain are the critics' choice for carnivorous cats.
Raw cat food does the best job of impersonating prey. Raw meat and organs are ground up in exact proportions to give cats all the nutrients they need. Many raw cat foods are sold frozen, but some raw or near-raw dehydrated varieties are also available.
Some cat owners want to feed their cats vegetarian or vegan diets -- and some cat food companies manufacture them -- but this is controversial. Cats evolved as obligate carnivores that eat other animals, and almost nothing else. Vegetarian cat food advocates, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), agree that cats do need certain nutrients that plants don't have, but they say supplements can be added to vegetarian food to cover that. Some cat owners say they've fed vegetarian or even vegan food for years, and their cats are healthy.
But plenty of veterinarians aren't convinced. "For cats, it's really inappropriate. It goes against their physiology and isn't something I would recommend at all," Cailin Heinze, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and assistant professor of nutrition at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, tells WebMD.com. Without proper supplements, vegan and vegetarian cats can't get enough of certain amino and fatty acids, and it can be hard for them to get enough protein, all of which can lead to growth problems, eye problems, reproductive failure and life-threatening heart disorders.
"For me, it boils down to this question: 'Why?'" veterinarian Jennifer Coates -- herself a vegetarian -- writes in her nutrition blog for PetMD.com. "Why have an obligate carnivore as a pet if you are not willing to feed him or her meat?"
We agree. For best health and nutrition, the best guidance we found was to feed a diet that's species-appropriate -- and for a cat, that means meat, and lots of it. That's a characteristics of all the foods we name as the Best Reviewed or that are worth considering.
Finding the best cat foods in every category comes down to evaluating each one based on the quality of its ingredients, safety (history of recalls, etc.) and value. Critics aren't shy about pointing out the foods that fall short. Our expert sources, including PetsumerReport.com, CatInfo.org, About.com and others, scrutinize cat food labels and closely follow cat food recall news. Cat owners posting at sites like Amazon.com, Chewy.com and elsewhere fill in the final pieces of the puzzle -- whether cats seem healthy while eating a certain food they enjoy, for instance, or whether they turn up their finicky noses at it. The result of that research and feedback are our picks as the Best Reviewed canned dry and raw cat foods.
Elsewhere in this report:
Cat Food Ingredients: While reviews help, reading the label can help an educated cat-food shopper find the best choices. Here's what to look for.
Best Canned Cat Food: Canned cat foods provide nutrition and hydration. These are the ones that experts and cat owners say are tops.
Best Dry Cat Food: Dry cat kibble is more convenient, and often lower in cost, than feeding canned or raw foods. These are the ones that provide the meat that your cats need.
Best Raw Cat Food: These foods can come closest to matching what your cat would eat in the wild. Both frozen and dehydrated raw products are highlighted.
Buying Guide: Not sure where to start to find the best cat food for your pet and your budget? Our editors explain the top considerations.
Our Sources: These are the reviews and other sources we consulted to find the best-rated cat foods of all types. They are ranked in the order of their expertise and helpfulness.

Curated Cool
THE PARTY Taking hip to haute new levels, The Joule threw a fabulous bash welcoming its latest inhabitants: TenOverSix, stimulating Weekend Coffee and the Commerce Street lobby. THE SCENE There was barely room to breathe as Dallas' most au courant crowd vied for space at the bar. And yet, somehow, they still managed to shop at Kristen Lee and Brady Cunningham's new multilabel Los Angeles-based outpost, TenOverSix. Helping to fuel the festivities were bites from new eatery CBD Provisions, with crowd-pleasing pastry chef Ruben Torano's mini cinnamon rolls taking the cake. THE HIGHLIGHTS Live performances by Wild Child and Doom & Gloom; a DJ set by Robert Schwartzman; a short film series by Bad Day magazine creator Eva Michon; and, from afar, the squeals of a million Wes Anderson fans fawning over one of the auteur's film regulars, Jason Schwartzman, all added to the curated chaos.

Traditionally, coaches have advised people training for big events—like half marathons—to take in some carbohydrates post-workout via a sports drink to refuel their muscles with glycogen, or stored glucose. But University of Connecticut researchers discovered that full-fat chocolate milk, which contains both protein and carbs in the form of chocolate syrup, replenished glycogen just as efficiently as the equivalent calories of Powerade in subjects who ran for 45 minutes. And the added milk protein was associated with greater rates of muscle protein synthesis, while Powerade was not.
For women, chocolate milk is a particularly good choice "because you're getting calcium," says lead author of the study Nancy Rodriguez, PhD. But watch out for the extra calories, particularly if you're not expending a ton of energy. In that case, Rodriguez says you're better off eating a decent meal before working out and sticking to water during and after.

There are two kinds of people — those who thrive on the whole holiday dynamic, and those who would rather catch a jet to the Caribbean until the last drumstick has been eaten and the last verse of "Auld Lang Syne" sung. For the latter, I offer a humorous take on holiday classics. Consider it a new way to imagine the movies and stories we watch and listen to every year (along with Uncle Bob's never-ending accounts of his glory days). And for those who love the season? You might find yourself laughing, too. Just imagine the following:
The Three Scrooges
The madcap adventures of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and that wild and crazy guy, Ebenezer.
It's a Wonderful Wife
The true story of how George Bailey's wife coped. Do you know how hard it is to live with a delusional lunatic? And with those bells ringing constantly?
Frosty the Snowplow
How our villain, disguised as everyone's favorite snowman, manages to plow down an entire neighborhood.
Jingle Sells
Or, how to sell the crap out of the holiday season, now starting as early as July in a store near you.
Randolph the Brown-Nosed Reindeer
The untold story of Rudolph's kiss-ass cousin (and his plot to win the reindeer games).
How the Winch Stole Christmas
The hilarious account of what happened when dad tried to string holiday lights from the roof and the fire department crane had to get him down.
Let It Snow, Let It Snow – Let It Go Already!
A heart-wrenching drama that follows one L.A. woman through therapy as she seeks to get past her (sob!) unrealistic hopes of a white Christmas.
'Twas the Night Before Hanukkah
A retelling of the classic bedtime story, wherein "visions of sugarplums" are replaced by "dreams of Bubbe's latkes," and that damn mouse is eradicated (a mouse in my clean house – oy!) by pest control.
A Partridge in a Bare Tree
The three-handkerchief story of one former teen idol's brave effort to revitalize his career in the winter of his years.
Yes, Virginia, There Is an App for That
The heart-warming tale of one little girl and her quest for the truth: "If I see it on an app, does that make it real?"
Happy holidays!

Rated 2 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sara would buy this product again nice cabinet for the bathroom January 16, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by bamm great size (small), poooor quality I purchased this for my second bathroom for towel storage. I do not have many towels to store for the small bathroom, so it's small size was okay, though slightly larger would have been ideal for the space needed to fill. When I received the box in the mail, it was so light that I was convince I would open it and discover that there was a second box that had not arrived yet. The directions were difficult to follow and weren't clearly marked as to which side goes up down left or right (keep in mind I've put together almost every piece of furniture in my house without difficulty). All the pieces are made of particle board, not just the back board and all is very flimsy and marks easily. The finish is beautiful; though chips easily with any bumping. I will, a dark cherry; probably replace the handles so that it looks more classy...overall, poor purchase. I am disappointed, unsure if it is worth it to return it. November 30, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kara Cheaply made, too small... We bought this to use as storage in our tiny bathroom. This is a very cheap piece of furniture - it is way too small for practical storage (no shelves inside to help organize) and the craftsmanship is shoddy (you get particle board for the back, not real wood). After I put it together, my husband pulled one of the handles out trying to open one of the doors. This is a huge disappointment - I had a cheaper cabinet from a big box store that was of better quality than this. We plan to buy the Ayana teak shelving and ditch this when we move next time. Save your money and pass on this one. January 6, 2011

Each of us, at some point in our lives, will come to realize that most of the ordinary things we take for granted are, in fact, almost never permanent and, in fact, often fragile. The unraveling of my confidence came in 1973. That year, I realized that the seemingly perfect wild nature in which we had been climbing, skiing and hiking for years was actually in big trouble. By then I'd been working for Yvon and Malinda Chouinard at Chouinard Equipment for three years. Patagonia clothing, as we know it today, was just a big idea with not much meat on its bones. We were very cramped for working space at that time, but Yvon and Malinda handed over one of our scarce offices to someone who was trying to recover the polluted and overly impacted Ventura River in hopes of allowing steelhead to run once again up its waters.
I was taken aback by this gesture. It was the early '70s and the Vietnam War was still raging, but besides that, life was good. I couldn't imagine why on earth the Chouinards would give up needed office space for such a project. I had crossed that river thousands of times in the course of my daily life.
What needed fixing?
I didn't know it then, but losing that office to someone trying to save one of nature's keystone species would, many years later, become one of the touchstones of my life.
For the next 20 years, we worked together building Patagonia the company and also following the Chouinards' lead, 20 years earlier, of establishing Patagonia as a leader in the environmental movement in the United States. Weaving together business and ecological values is like tightrope walking and swimming in a sea of contradictions, but even with its imperfections, Patagonia – as the company's mission statement reflects – is still determined to be a model for business in a finite world.
In 1993 I retired as CEO of Patagonia and moved with my husband, Doug Tompkins, to southern Chile. Since then, through Doug's foundation, Conservation Land Trust, we've purchased land to conserve it – working to place nearly two million acres into some form of permanent protection. In 2000, I founded Conservacion Patagonica (CP), a land trust focused exclusively on conserving land within the Patagonia region – an area depleted by intensive overgrazing, mining, oil drilling and logging. Yvon and Malinda Chouinard and the Patagonia company have joined this effort, along with other friends and lovers of the region.
In 2001, CP purchased Estancia Monte León, one of the oldest sheep ranches in the Argentine Patagonia, located on the southern Atlantic shoreline a few hundred miles north of the Straight of Magellan. Monte León had long been one of the priorities for Argentine National Parks because of its richness and diversity of species, including Magellanic penguins, sea lions, elephant seals, leopard seals and several migratory seabirds. CP purchased this 155,000-acre estancia, crafted a master plan for its transition to a national park and, in 2002, donated the property to the Argentine National Parks Administration, creating the first coastal national park in Argentina.
In 2003, a conservation opportunity of a lifetime arose when one of the largest ranches (173,000 acres) in Chilean Patagonia came up for sale. The Chilean National Parks had made this ranch their number-one conservation priority for over 35 years because it formed the center of prized habitat in the region. CP set about finding the funds to make the purchase – by far the largest of the foundation thus far – and by mid-2004, the property belonged to CP. From the beginning, the plan has been to join this estancia to the neighboring 460,000 acres of Chilean national reserves and create the new Patagonia National Park, which would eventually be more than 650,000 acres. This park will represent every ecotone found in the Patagonia region: grasslands, Andean foothills, the Andes themselves, and arid and semi-arid Patagonian steppe. There are also lakes, rivers, ponds, wetlands and undisturbed native southern beech forests. Virtually all of the original species of the region are still intact and, especially now that conservation steps have been taken, there is a real opportunity to see species such as the nearly extinct huemul deer make a comeback. The new Patagonia National Park will increase their open range area by more than 30-fold.
A year and a half into the project, we are going full steam on the development of the future Patagonia National Park. We have been putting the estancia in order, selling down the sheep and cattle, working on conservation plans and taking species inventories. We work closely with the Chilean government on issues pertaining to the huemul protection program in our area and are generally becoming a part of the local community; in turn, the community is participating in the creation of the new park. Patagonia employees have volunteered during the spring and summer seasons to take down fences (only 290 miles of fencing to go!), eradicate exotic species, and work in the burned-out forest understory – just some of the jobs to be done as we transform the estancia from a working ranch into a new national park.
So I come full circle to steelhead in the Ventura River. Ten years ago, most biologists thought the Patagonia region could not recover. But today, steelhead swim up the Ventura River (thanks to the fellow who got that office 32 years ago), and today in Patagonia, one can witness a resurgence of grasslands and wildlife within protected areas.
Private wildlands philanthropy, mixed with political will, can create wildlands restoration and preservation on a grand scale and swing the pendulum of extinction back on wavering species.
Proof positive. Land conservation can change the end of the story.

Funny show even though it wasn't filmed to be comedic. Entertaining and oddly enough interesting to where you keep watching to see what these folks will say or do next. It even makes you think a little bit every once in a while. Overall I give it 5 stars and I would say buy it. You'll enjoy it.

Well. This is my demand. CRS is needed. Not only to us true lovers of hip-hop. But for the game itself. Guys like you bring it back to the roots. Speaking of The Roots, hookin up with them to do your tracks would be a dream come true. But you know, that is indeed only a dream.

Lupe, cmon, you Kanye and Pharrell are three of the most talented motherfuckas in the game, who wouldn't want to see you collaborate on an entire LP???? Us Placers, Everyone Nose Remix, and Don't Stop are works of art, and I know that plenty of people would appreciate more of that. The amount of talent and effort that would go into such an album would be unheard of. DO IT!
"Seeing if the demand is there, seeing if people really want it."? OF COURSE the demand is there and OF COURSE people really want it! CRS sounds amazing
Im Definitely craving for the CRS album. 3 of the most talented musicians of our generation coming together for an album.Thats off the chain

Heart Health: Potassium Good, Sodium Bad...
Salt's a bad guy! Dr. Fuhrman says consuming salt boosts stroke risk and previous studies show sodium leads to hypertension, i.e. high blood pressure. Even sea salt is a bad idea. When he was on Studio 10 TV in St. Petersburg, Florida, this past November, Dr. Fuhrman explained the supposed health benefits of sea salt don't out weigh the negatives.
And now, a new study in Archives of Internal Medicine claims high sodium intake and low potassium consumption increases heart disease risk by 24%. Scientists collected data from 2275 participants, ages 30 to 54, with pre-hypertension. After examining urine excretion, researchers determined those people peeing out more sodium and less potassium were more likely to develop cardiovascular disease; from FoodNavigator-USA.
Fruits and vegetables are packed with a myriad of nutrients and vitamins. And foods like strawberries and plums are excellent sources of potassium. So, go buy some!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Case Western Reserve University will honor rock and roll pioneers the Everly Brothers during the 19th Annual Music Masters® series this October. Don and Phil Everly were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a part of the first class of inductees in 1986. Two-time Grammy Award winner Rodney Crowell will serve as musical director for the tribute concert, which will take place on Saturday, October 25 at 7:30 p.m. at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre. Tribute concert artists will be announced in the coming months.
"I'm honored and proud as I know Phil would be for the recognition being given to the Everly Brothers," said Don Everly. "I'd like to thank the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and fans for keeping the Everly Brothers alive and accept with great appreciation this special celebration. I wish Phil were here to share this honor with me. It has cost many tears and taken many miles and several decades to arrive at this point."
Phil Everly passed away in January of this year, shortly before his 75th birthday. His family shared their thoughts on the honor. "Phil would have been tremendously honored and humbled by the recognition you have bestowed upon him. He would say it was hard to believe, when he and Don started, that there would even be a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, let alone that they would be among the original inductees. The Everly Brothers sang about heartbreak and love in equal measure - both to the world and to each other. If he were here today he would thank the amazing Everly Brothers fans for believing in them and supporting them all these years. He would thank the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for bestowing this tremendous honor and he would above all thank his big brother Don for taking this journey with him. It wasn't always easy, but together, they gave the world something extraordinary and changed music forever."
Musical director Rodney Crowell spoke on the duo's legacy and impact, saying, "The Everly Brothers were the first Appalachian born recording artists to bring close harmony to the rock and roll mainstream, which greatly influenced the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, the Hollies, the Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash and so many more. And their rhythm guitar style is still being copied today. The Everly Brothers gave modern teen angst its first beautiful voice."
The weeklong celebration begins on Monday, October 20, and will feature interviews, panels, films and educational programs throughout the week, including a keynote lecture at Case Western Reserve University. On Saturday, October 25, a conference will be held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, exploring the Everly Brothers' impact on popular music. The tribute concert will be held Saturday, October 25, at 7:30 p.m. at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre in Cleveland. Ticket information will be announced in the coming weeks. A limited number of VIP packages beginning at $300 are available by contacting the Rock Hall's development office at (216) 515-1201 or email@example.com. Interested parties may also download the 2014 Music Masters VIP registration form.

Update on Veterans Law Developments
Much has happened since we celebrated Veterans Day in 2010. The Don't Ask, Don't Tell law is officially dead. The U.S. Department of Defense, as the result of a settlement, has agreed to review disability ratings from 2001 to 2009 that wrongly denied benefits to veterans separated from service due to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was found by a federal appeals court to have violated the due process rights of veterans through its failure to timely treat veterans and process their medical claims and ordered make systemic changes in its regional office. The U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs have agreed to share medical records—previously prohibited by regulation—in a way that facilitates health care for military servicemembers as they move from active service to veteran status. A Wisconsin county is the latest jurisdiction to create a special veterans court to ensure that offenders who are veterans get the medical treatment they need rather than follow a well-trod pathway to prison. The current Administration has continually pushed the private sector to create more jobs for veterans and hire more veterans for current jobs. Legal aid lawyers can help servicemembers, veterans, and their families by providing legal services where possible and by being aware of legal resources available and laws aimed specifically at servicemembers, veterans and their families.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Thousands of servicemembers were legally freed from the burden of hiding their sexual orientation on September 20, 2011, the date the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 (signed on December 22, 2010) became effective. As the President stated on September 20, "[W]e are not a nation that says, 'don't ask, don't tell.' We are a nation that says, 'Out of many, we are one.'" While inequality is likely to remain, lives have already been changed. The Defense Department in its Quick Reference Guide to the repeal act has, as of October 28, 2011, identified 14 benefits for which servicemembers may designate beneficiaries including same sex partners.
News on help for Veterans with PTSD
That military veterans suffer from of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not news. That the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs have woefully inadequate procedures probably is not a surprise either. But recent court victories by advocates are helping to change that. The Department of Defense on its website announced that it is "re-evaluating … disability ratings for some Veterans medically separated between September 11, 2001, and December 31, 2009, to ensure a correct disability retirement determination was made." This action is required under a settlement agreement reached in Sabo v. United States. The National Veterans Legal Services Programbrought the suit the result of which will ensure that over 2,000 U.S. military veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and who were medically discharged from the military after a diagnosis of PTSD will finally receive the military benefits due them. The settlement agreement was preliminarily approved by a U.S. Federal Court of Claims August 12, 2011; final approval is expected by January 2012.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a May 2011 scathing opinion, castigated the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs for its delays, averaging four years, in processing veterans' mental health claims, holding that the VA violated veterans' due process rights through its failure to timely treat veterans and process their claims. Noting that in many cases timely treatment is a matter of life or death, (the court cited current suicide rates amongst servicemembers and veterans) the court ordered the VA to develop a system-wide plan to reduce delays in delivering mental health care to veterans. The court stated that it would have preferred the VA or Congress to take action, but found that the VA's failure to develop procedures to handle the influx of claims from Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans left many veterans without treatment for years—a violation of due process under the Fifth Amendment.
State courts are seeking ways to help veterans with PTSD get the treatment they need instead of merely sending them to jail. Judges in Green Bay, Wisconsin, are working towards establishing a special court for military veterans. If this court is established in the next month as planned, it will join a list of about 50 special veterans courts created around the country over the past three years. The courts were developed because "military veteran offenders are more in need of treatment than prison." The goal of the special court is to find the most effective way of dealing with veterans' mental health issues, particularly PTSD. While some special veterans courts accept only combat veterans whose offenses have resulted from PTSD, others accept all veterans.
Unemployment and Homelessness
Employees who leave their jobs to work in the armed forces often cannot regain their jobs or retain benefits. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) is designed to protect eligible military members from illegal employer action. But the American Bar Association (ABA) found that veterans still face barriers to employment and reemployment and recently adopted a resolution urging Congress to amend USERRA. The resolution, recommended by the ABA's Standing Committee on Legal Assistance for Military Personnel, would require employees to provide certain reasonable accommodations for returning veterans with combat injuries, make unenforceable employment agreements that require arbitration of USERRA disputes, and authorize attorney fees.
President Obama has recognized that the unemployment rate among veterans is unacceptable. The Obama Administration recently launched two initiatives to support veterans and their families. President Obama's Veterans Employment Initiative challenges the private sector to hire veterans and the President proposed a tax credit for businesses that take up the challenge. (The tax credit has been suggested before.)
Veterans are twice as likely as the general population to become chronically homeless. Many resources can help veterans improve their finances and access supportive housing so that they can have a place to live and can lead healthy, stable lives. Greater availability of two innovative legal programs—alternative sentencing statutes and veterans courts—would link at-risk veterans to life-saving treatment and lower their risk of homelessness.

State of Exception
Of Braceros Fracasados and Other Success Stories: Border Ballads and Laments
The heightened surveillance and criminalization of the U.S.-Mexico border—and the resultant body count—has cast into sharp relief the zone's shadowy reputation as a dangerous periphery of two nation-states. The traveler who traverses outside the legal limits does so at his or her own peril; hence, migrants' invocation of heavenly succor for the passage. Like other border zones in other times and places (e.g., the Scottish-English and Spanish-Moorish borders), however, the frontera has also proved a fecund site of subaltern poetics. From migrating beet workers in "Michiga" in the early twentieth century to "Wetback" workers of the post-WWII era to migrating oaxaqueño and Central American Pentecostal evangelists today, the experience of uprooting and contingent citizenship has found expression in a vast musical repertoire, both profane and sacred, and in visual and prayer practices that have left their traces in home and church altars and among the detritus and cadavers of undocumented border-crossers.
This exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks, water bottles, border patrol restrains, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León's Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes, De León, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition, human experience, culture, violence, and accountability.
Two days of events are planned around the exhibit opening which will bring together students, scholars in the field, artists, and the local community:
Wednesday, January 23:
- Visit to Jason De León's class on materiality/violence by University of Arizona Professor Robin Rieneke and writer Kathryn Ferguson.
- Workshop and round-table presentations featuring Jason De León and students who have participated in the Undocumented Migration Project and Field School.
Thursday, January 24
- Lecture by Stephen Brighton, Professor of Anthropology, University of Maryland
- Panel discussion with Stephen Brighton, Kathryn Ferguson, Robin Rieneke, and Jason De León.
- Opening reception of State of Exception exhibit with short remarks from students from the field school and informal Q & A in the gallery.
Tuesday, January 29
- Daniel Ramirez Lecture

Beautiful product
The product was very nice in every way except that it's too small to accommodate my husband's driver's license and other cards he carries there. I would have ordered your larger key case, but it's out of stock and I understand nobody knows if it will be brought back or not...maybe in April an announcement will be made. Too bad!
December 12, 2015
Nice, but no more monogramming?
These are really nice key cases, which I've used for many years. They're both attractive and durable. My only issue with the current version is that Bosca has dropped the optional monogram for this item. The monogram added a very personal touch, and I miss not having it available.
March 30, 2015
A Great Key Case
I have a nappa vitello key case and purchased the bifold with card/I.D. flap in dark brown, Old Leather. I decided to match the key case with the wallet, so I purchased the Old Leather key case in dark brown. It is the best key case that one could want. it is very rich looking and together with the wallet it really makes a fashion statement.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bosca products.

Spoiled by faulty D ring
This is the third of similar Bosca key case I purchased throughout the years. The first one with 8 golden hooks was the best but is no longer available. The latest one has faulty D ring almost unable to be opened. Had I lived in US would certainly asked for refund or exchange.

Great products! We will order more!
Although still usable, intact and worn-looking, my husband was in dire need of a new wallet and key case after carrying them through thick and thin for over 20 years. My husband deserves nothing less than the best so I went on the internet to search for the perfect wallet and key case. Then I realized that if he was able to use the same wallet and key case for over 20 years, well that brand must be extremely durable and made to last! It was made by BOSCA! So needless to say, I ordered a new BOSCA wallet and key case for my wonderful husband. Both products are incredibly beautiful and will last him a lifetime. As for his old BOSCA wallet and key case? We had a farewell ceremony and finally put them to rest. Thank you for your quality products - they do make a difference!
October 10, 2013
Great Keycase
Beatiful leather and the metal loops appear to be securely attached to the case and lock tightly. To be 100% safe as I have had problems with other cases, I have threaded a small wire cable loop through each key and key case loop to prevent any problems.
October 9, 2013
Great product
This is the second of these key cases I've purchased in the last few years. I put a lot of wear on my key cases and this one stands up to the abuse. I'll keep buying these as long as Bosca keeps making them.

Big Ag's Big Pal in the Oval Office
Even as a journalist following food and politics, I have trouble keeping up with the revolving door between the Obama administration and the corner offices of huge agrichemical and GMO seed producers like Monsanto and DuPont. The latest announcement to catch me by surprise is that Romona Romero, a DuPont corporate lawyer, has just been nominated by the president to the post of General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
So it was great to receive this handy roster from the Organic Consumers Association last week. The list could grow, but here's the current lineup of Team Big Ag:

Before we get into the how, let's talk about why you should make herbed butter. Herbs grow, a lot. It seems a shame not to enjoy their zingy, full flavors while they're at their prime these hot months. Yes, you can dry out the leaves and use them all year, but this usually weakens or at least alters their flavor.
And I'm not saying don't make tub after tub of pesto, but maybe your freezer is full of those already. You could even make a tincture, or try your hand at homemade perfume. But if you like to make bread, or serve it at dinner, then it's fun to have a host of flavored butters on hand. And chopping up herbs, storing them in fat — butter — preserves their flavor, even stretches it, as it'll permeate the whole glob. Continue reading

[Mike is one of these guys who does most everything right. Limeade, too. – mb]
When I'm sweating my way through the tropics (my haunts are Cambodia and all over south and central Asia), my drink of choice is lime soda, with lots of fresh squeezed lime juice. I usually don't take sugar or syrup with it because limes are sweet enough over there, though they're still tart. Interestingly, a pinch of salt when it's stinking hot, or when the limes are really acidic, can help.
Back home, up here in the frigid North (i.e., Boston, where it was simmering near 100F last week) I love limeade. Or Margeritas. Or gin and tonic with a huge amount of lime juice. But most especially, I love limeade. I like lemons, too, and what follows also applies when life gives you lemons. Continue reading

So when I moved the flour and found the unopened package of tapioca behind it, I said all my favorite swear words and pulled my freshly-made cherry pie out of the oven and plopped it on the counter. This pie already had a long history; I bought the sour cherries at the farmer's market Saturday morning, but by the time I pitted them and made the crust, the temperature had hit 95 degrees and we don't have air-conditioning. Running the oven would have made the house uninhabitable. Everything went into the fridge until a milder day.
Monday morning was cool. Shortly after my first cup of coffee, I decided to get the pie in the oven before the day heated up, and that was my first mistake: never do anything requiring skill or precision before two full cups of coffee. I wanted to make a lattice-top, which I'd never done before, and took my time getting it perfect. I congratulated myself as I put it in the oven, at least until I found the tapioca. Continue reading
It's the weekend after the 4th, it's hot, and you're still stuffed with meat. Check out this unbelievably refreshing (and quick) avocado soup from How to Cook Everything. There's no cooking required, but if you have any leftover cooked shrimp or crab lying around, definitely try the variation.
Fast Avocado Soup
MAKES: 4 servings
TIME: 10 minutes, plus time to chill
Creamy, with a gorgeous color, this soup couldn't be simpler. If you like, dress it up with chopped cherry tomatoes, sliced scallion, chopped chervil or mint, or a dollop of crème fraîche (or any of those in combination). Or see the variation for some seafood additions.
By Kerri Conan
When house guests first arrive the kitchen is filled with promise. I've shopped, baked, and gardened. The over-stuffed pantry is mapped in my mind, and select jars of homemade canned treats have been moved to the fridge to chill along with the wine.
These preparations—which undoubtedly include advance menu planning via email—are a lot more fun than changing the sheets and scrubbing the bathrooms. But their thrill is just as fleeting. Before you know it, the suitcases are lined up by the door and we're all gathered around the table for the farewell meal. Continue reading
It's not a recipe, exactly, but it's a revelation, or it was when my roommate Judy showed it to me 40 years ago (scary, but true; it was 1970). There was something daring, creative, wonderful about it.
What was it? Lemon rice. Lemon, black pepper, cooked rice. Fried rice with lemon and pepper. Whatever you want to call it, it's hardly exciting now. Continue reading

If you're not doing anything else today, you might consider driving to Waldoboro, Maine, to help celebrate Moxie Day. The Moxiemobile will be there and other Moxie-intensive excitements, plus free samples of that beverage for everyone. Despite the fact that, before the Great Depression (I mean the earlier one), Moxie was America's bestselling soft drink (okay, I don't believe it either, but it does seem to be a fact), most people south of the Maine border have never heard of the drink, and the few who have, more than not, have refused to sample it again. Among them I count my doctor, who favors diet Dr Pepper, a drink which in any form should never have been allowed to cross the Mason-Dixon Line. (We already have it in New England; we call it cough syrup). When I suggested he might try diet Moxie, he reacted as though I had suggested he sip iced sewage.
Moxie's popularity in Maine is genuine. Checking online to confirm the Waldoboro event, I discovered that there are other Moxie Day celebrations in Maine this summer — in Lisbon Falls, Kennebunkport, and Union. I mention this only in passing, since my interest is in the beverage, not the "famous" Moxiemobile, Moxie memorabilia, or even Moxie ice cream. Even so, that these things actually exist gives me that comforting feeling you have when you discover you're not alone. Continue reading

Lubricated Crab Larvae
It had to happen sooner or later. Oil has officially contaminated the Gulf of Mexico's seafood chain.
Last week Geoff Pender of the Sun Herald, a newspaper serving the Mississippi coast, reported that scientists at the University of Southern Mississippi and Tulane University had found droplets of oil in the larvae of blue crabs. While the oil's presence is no immediate cause of concern for those craving a summer evening Cajun crab boil ,it is a harbinger of bad news. Small fish such as menhaden feed on crab larvae, and as they say, big fish eat little fish. "I think we'll see this enter the food chain in a lot of ways," Harriet Perry, director of the Center for Fisheries Research and Development at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, told Pender.

Roderick David Stewart (a.k.a. Rod Stewart) is born in London.
Rod Stewart's first single, "Good Morning Little School Girl," is released in Britain. It fails to chart and Stewart will not, in fact, make the Top Forty as a solo artist until the 1971 release of "Reason to Believe"/"Maggie May."
The Jeff Beck Group, featuring Beck, Rod Stewart, Ron Wood and Mickey Waller, makes its American performance debut at the Fillmore East in New York City.
The Jeff Beck Group, featuring Rod Stewart on lead vocals, releases its debut album, 'Truth.' It fails to chart in the U.K. but reaches #15 in the U.S.
'Beck-Ola,' the second album by the Jeff Beck Group (with Rod Stewart on vocals), enters the U.S. album charts. Like it's predecessor, 'Truth,' it reaches #15.
Vocalist Rod Stewart and bassist Ronnie Wood leave the Jeff Beck Group to join the Small Faces (later amended to, simply, the Faces). Wood reverts from bass to guitar, his original instrument.
Rod Stewart releases his first solo album, entitled 'An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down' in the U.K. and 'The Rod Stewart Album' in the U.S.
'First Step,' the first album by the re-formed Small Faces, with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood having replaced vocalist/guitarist Steve Marriott, is released.
Rod Stewart's second album, 'Gasoline Alley,' enters the U.S. charts, where it will peak at #27. The album contains the favorites "It's All Over Now," "Cut Across, Shorty" and the title track.
Almost exactly a year to the day after the appearance of 'Gasoline Alley', Rod Stewart releases his self-produced masterpiece, 'Every Picture Tells a Story.' It tops the Billboard album chart for four weeks.
"Maggie May" b/w "Reason to Believe," by Rod Stewart, becomes a double-sided hit, topping the singles chart for the first of five weeks.
'Never a Dull Moment,' Rod Stewart's fourth solo album, hits #1 in the U.K. It will reach #2 in the U.S. and launch a pair of hit singles in both countries
Rod Stewart pointedly references his move from England to America with a new album ('Atlantic Crossing') for a new label (Warner Bros.)
"Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)," by Rod Stewart, tops the singles chart for the first of seven weeks.
"First Cut Is the Deepest," Rod Stewart's interpretation of a Cat Stevens songs, is lodged at #1 in the U.K., holding the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" at bay.
13 of the 23 #1 songs are disco, including Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?", Blondie's "Heart Of Glass", and Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"; "Disco Demolition Night" at Chicago's Comiskey Park, hosted by Steve Dahl, spearheads "Disco Sucks" movement
Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" tops the singles charts for the first of four weeks. It owns the distinction of being the first 48-track 12-inch disco remix.
Rod Stewart kicks off his first tour in three years, supporting a strong new album ('Tonight I'm Yours') that yields another pair of hits
"Passion," from Rod Stewart's 'Foolish Behaviour' album, hits #5.
"Infatuation," from Rod Stewart's 'Camouflage' album, hits #6. "Some Guys Have All the Luck," from the same album, follows it into the Top Ten in October.
Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck team up for a version of Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready," which appears on Beck's album 'Flash.'
Rod Stewart's version of Tom Waits' "Downtown Train" enters the Top Forty, where it will peak at #3 – his highest showing in more than a decade. It is also his 25th Top Forty U.S. single.
Rod Stewart's recut version of the Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart of Mine," with Ronald Isley on duet vocals, enters the Top Forty.
Rod Stewart releases 'Vagabond Heart,' which will peak at #10 – his most successful showing since 'Blondes Have More Fun' topped the chart in 1979.
Rod Stewart tapes an "MTV Unplugged" appearance, which airs on May 5th.
The CD version of Rod Stewart's "Unplugged" session, entitled 'Unplugged...And Seated,' hits #2 for the first of five weeks.
Rod Stewart is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the ninth annual induction dinner. Jeff Beck is his presenter. Stewart himself misses the ceremony because of the Los Angeles earthquake two days earlier.
Rod Stewart's 'Greatest Hits, Volume I & II' receives its third platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying sales of more than 3 million copies.
Rod Stewart performs on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro for an audience of 4.2 million people. He make into the Guinness Book of World Records for staging the largest outdoor concert in history.
Rod Stewart releases 'When We Were the New Boys,' which contains songs by Oasis, the Waterboys, Elvis Costello, Graham Parker and Nick Lowe – as well as the Faces and Stewart himself.
Rod Stewart releases 'Human,' the 21st album of his career – not counting best-ofs, compilations and repackagings or his work with the Faces (five albums) and Jeff Beck Group (two albums). Whew!

E-Mail Coach DeMont: email@example.com
A former standout swimmer at the University of Arizona, Rick DeMont is beginning his second season as head coach and 26th season as a member of the Wildcat coaching staff. DeMont was named an assistant coach to the South African men's swim team at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, and the 2008 Games in Beijing, China. He recently returned from serving as coach at the Pan Pacs in Australia.
DeMont, a four-year All-American, began his collegiate swimming career at the University of Washington from 1973-75.As a freshman at UW, he finished second in the 1650 freestyle and fourth in the 400 individual medley at the NCAA Championships. A two-year and eight-time All-America selection at UA, DeMont swam for the Wildcats from 1977-79.
DeMont is a former world record holder in the 1500m freestyle (1972), the 400m freestyle (1973) and the 4x100 freestyle relay (1977). He collected numerous titles during his swim career, including National, Pan-American, World and Olympic champion. Following his senior year in high school, he was named World Swimmer of the Year. DeMont also pioneered negative split swimming (swimming a faster second half of a race than the first).
At the 1972 Olympic Games, DeMont was stripped of a gold medal in the 400m freestyle, when it was discovered he had unknowingly taken asthma medication containing the banned drug ephedrine. The next year, at the World Championships in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, DeMont erased all doubts of his greatness with an unprecedented performance. He swam a world record in the 400m free and, in the process, became the first man in history to swim that race in less than four minutes.
To this day, he is still struggling to regain the medal from the International Olympic Committee. DeMont was rewarded for his athletic accomplishments in 1990, as he was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
Long considered a world-renowned sprint freestyle coach, DeMont has been the subject of feature stories and up-and-coming swimming technique articles in numerous publications, such as Swimming World, Swim Technique and Splash magazines.
In the late 1980s, DeMont was inducted into the World Swimming Hall of Fame. During his tenure with the UA program, he has coached an amazing 22 U.S. Swimming and NCAA individual national champions, as well as numerous national champion relay squads. In September of 1999, DeMont was inducted into the University of Arizona Athletic Hall of Fame and in April 2008 he was inducted into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame.
DeMont is also an artist whose paintings have been shown in local and national galleries, and some of his work can be seen on the walls of offices in Arizona's athletics department. DeMont has one daughter, Angela, a UA alum, and daughters Tierra and Jordan. He and his wife, Carrie, reside in Tucson.

Tracey Griesbaum enters her 15th season as head coach at the University of Iowa in 2014. She has led the Hawkeyes to three Big Ten Tournament Championships (2006, 2007, 2008), one regular season Big Ten Championship, six NCAA Tournament appearances and the 2008 NCAA Final Four.
During Griesbaum's Iowa tenure, the program has had 20 national All-Americans, 52 regional All-America honors, 53 All-Big Ten selections, three Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year awards and three Big Ten Freshman of the Year awards.
Griesbaum, who was a two-time All-American as a player at West Chester University and a six-year member of the U.S. National Team, is 169-107 at Iowa and 182-128 overall. She recorded her 100th career victory with a win at Fairfield in 2007, her 100th career win as Iowa's head coach at Stanford in 2008 and her 150th career triumph with a 2-1 victory over Ohio State in 2012.
In 2013, Iowa advanced to the Big Ten Tournament championship game for the 10th time in program history, and finished 13-8 overall. Griesbaum coached four Hawkeyes -- Natalie Cafone (first team), Dani Hemeon (first team), Karli Johansen (second team), Stephanie Norlander (Freshman of the Year) -- to All-Big Ten recognition. Cafone, Hemeon and Norlander earned NFHCA West Region All-America honors, and Cafone and Hemeon also earned All-America honors. Cafone became the first Hawkeye since Kristy Gleason in 1992 to lead the nation in points per game (2.48). The sophomore also ranked third nationally in goals per game (1.05).
Off the field, nine Hawkeyes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, seven Hawkeyes were named to the NFHCA National Academic Squad, and once again, Iowa was awarded the National Academic Team Award. In addition, Brynn Gitt and Jessy Silfer were named NFHCA Scholars of Distinction, (GPA of 3.9 or higher). Marike Stribos was named Iowa's 2014 Female Big Ten Medal of Honor winner, and Cafone was named the University of Iowa's 2014 Female Athlete of the Year.
During the 2012 season, Griesbaum guided the Hawkeyes to their second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance -- the 22nd in program history. The squad finished with a 14-7 overall and 4-2 Big Ten record, which tied for second place, and finished with a No. 14 national ranking.
Griesbaum coached five Hawkeyes to All-Big Ten recognition -- the most for the program since 2008 -- and had four individuals earn regional All-America honors for the second-straight season. Two players -- Jessica Barnett and Kathleen McGraw -- garnered national All-America recognition, and the duo was selected to play in the NFHCA Senior Game.
Griesbaum led Iowa to its 21st NCAA Tournament appearance in 2011. The Hawkeyes finished 15-5 overall and ranked 12th nationally. She coached three All-Big Ten honorees and four regional All-Americans, including Barnett, who earned the program's 81st national All-America honor.
In 2008, Iowa enjoyed its best season under Griesbaum. She led the Black and Gold to their third-straight Big Ten Tournament championship. Griesbaum also led the Hawkeyes to their 20th NCAA Tournament appearance. Iowa defeated Louisville and Michigan State to advance to the NCAA Final Four. The Hawkeyes fell to eventual national champion Maryland 2-1 in double overtime and finished the season with an 18-5 record. She was later named the 2008 NFHCA West Region Coach of the Year. Additionally, Griesbaum was inducted into the West Chester University Athletics Hall of Fame in February.
In the first year of the Griesbaum era, the Hawkeyes fielded an extremely young team that finished with a respectable 12-8 record and a third place finish in the Big Ten.
Year two, was even better for the Hawkeyes. Iowa finished with a record of 13-5, an appearance in the Big Ten Tournament Championship game and ended the season ranked No. 12 by the NFHCA. On their way to the Big Ten Tournament Championship game, Griesbaum led the Hawkeyes past the co-Big Ten regular season champions, Michigan State, 3-2, in overtime.
In Griesbaum's third season, the Hawkeyes finished with a 9-8 record and ranked No. 20 by the NFCHA. The Hawkeyes opened the season with a great shutout victory over eventual National Champion Wake Forest, 1-0. They closed the season with a 2-1, double overtime loss to the eventual national runner-up Penn State. Six of the Iowa losses came by one goal.
In 2003, the Hawkeyes finished 11-8 with a final ranking of 16th by STX/NFCHA. During the season, Iowa reached as high as No. 6 in the poll. Six of Iowa's eight losses came from teams ranked in the top 10.
During Griesbaum's fifth year, she directed the Hawkeyes to a 13-8 record and their 12th regular season Big Ten Championship with a 5-1 conference record. The Hawkeyes' exceptional play earned them a trip to the NCAA Tournament for the 16th time in school history. Griesbaum was named Big Ten Coach of the Year and the Division I Coach of the Year by WomensFieldHockey.com for her efforts.
In 2005, Iowa fielded a young team that resembled Griesbaum's first Hawkeye squad in 2000. The 2005 team finished with a 12-8 record and a third-place finish in the Big Ten.
In 2006, Griesbaum guided the Hawkeyes to a 12-9 record, the Big Ten Tournament Championship, an appearance in the NCAA Tournament and a final ranking of 14th in the STX/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Poll. Six of Iowa's nine losses came against teams ranked in the top five and two of their losses were by more than one goal.
In 2007, Iowa finished 17-4, and ranked fifth nationally. The Hawkeyes captured their second consecutive Big Ten Tournament championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 19th time in the program's history. Iowa began the season ranked 10th, and climbed as high as No. 3.
Griesbaum has a long history with the United States Field Hockey program. She has served in many capacities within the USFHA, including a full-time assistant and head coach for the U.S. Under-21 Team. She led the Under-21 team to a second-place finish at the Pan American Junior Championships and a spot in the 2001 Junior World Cup, where she served as an assistant coach. Her work was good enough to earn her the 2000 United States Field Hockey Coach of the Year award.
Before leaving to accept her post with U.S.A. Field Hockey, Griesbaum was an assistant coach with the Hawkeyes for eight seasons. She helped Iowa win four Big Ten Championships, advancing to the NCAA Tournament six times and the Final Four four times.
While Griesbaum worked for the United States Team in a full-time capacity for only one year, she has served the organization for 20 years as a coach.
During the summer of 2012, Griesbaum served as an assistant coach of the Midwest Team in the USA Field Hockey Women's Senior High Performance Tournament. She also was an assistant coach in the USA Field Hockey Futures Elite Championship.
In 2006, Griesbaum was the head coach of the Midwest Region's EPTC Program team, which placed second at the national tournament. She also coached the Midwest in 2004 and attended the FIH Coaching Course held in conjunction with the Champions Challenge and coached at the Elite Team Trials.
Griesbaum was head coach of the 2000 Super Camp and B Camp, and an assistant coach for the 1999 Under-20 Junior National Team, which toured Canada and Argentina.
During the summer of 1998, Griesbaum worked with the USA Field Hockey program. She was the head coach for the USA Under-23 team that competed in the USFHA National Indoor Tournament, toured Holland playing various club teams and competed in Canada against the Canadian National and Under-23 squads.
Griesbaum has also coached at the USFHA A-camp since 1995. In 1998, she was one of 38 international coaches selected to attend the International Field Hockey coaching course, held in conjunction with the 1998 World Cup in Holland.
In the spring and summer of 1997, Griesbaum worked camps and coached the national teams throughout the country. She coached at the United States Field Hockey Association A-Camp and served as assistant coach for the United States Under-21 National Team that played in the Junior National World Cup Qualifying Tournament in January of 1997 (Santiago, Chile). Griesbaum participated in that same tournament as an assistant coach in Venezuela in the fall of 1992.
In 1996, 1997, 1999, and 2001-04 she was a selector at the National Futures Tournament in Maryland. Those same summers Griesbaum was a coach at the USFHA B-Camp. Following B-Camp she coached the Under-18 team in a mini-tournament held in Boston (1996).
During the summer of 1996, Griesbaum was the co-head coach of the U.S. Under-18 National Team which traveled to Montreal, Quebec to compete in the Montreal Cup.
As the head coach at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, Pa., during the 1990 and 1991 seasons, Griesbaum led her team to a 13-21-3 overall record.
A 1989 graduate of West Chester University, Griesbaum earned a bachelor's degree in liberal arts with a minor in health sciences and coaching. She was former Hawkeye coach Beth Beglin's first recruit at West Chester University in 1984 and was a three-time regional All-American and a two-time national All-American. In 1987, she was named the Pennsylvania Association Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (PAIAW) Field Hockey Player of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year.
Griesbaum, a 1987 Honda Broderick Award nominee, also has extensive international playing experience. She was a member of the U.S. National Team from 1989-91, 1993 and the U.S. National Reserve Team in 1988. Griesbaum played on the U.S. National team that competed in the 1993 Intercontinental Cup. She played in the 1991 Pan American Games, World University Games and Olympic Qualifying Tournament. In addition, she was a two-time U.S. Olympic Festival participant, winning the Gold Medal in 1989.
