We invite you and everyone who cares about cats to join us in changing the way people think about the term "cat food."
Everyone who cares about cats and their health should join Feline Nutrition. Whether you are a nervous beginner looking for information and help or have been feeding a raw diet for years, we want and need your support. If you seek to network with others who understand feline nutrition or want to be more involved and advocate for change, Feline Nutrition is your home base, your community. We also encourage membership for those involved in cat-related businesses or organizations, such as enlightened retailers, raw diet and food companies, rescue/adoption groups, breeders and veterinarians who understand bio-appropriate feline nutrition.
We include all those who want to change how we feed our cats. Whether you are a proponent of ground or
, homemade or commercial, raw meaty bones or think "ditching the dry" is what you can do right now as a first step, you are welcome. Feline Nutrition is a place where you can feel you belong. The methods of feeding will vary, based upon what works for each person and their cats. We encourage tolerance for all methods and unity in our common purpose.
What We Do
Our basic mission is actually pretty simple. Get as many cats as possible onto a healthy raw meat diet. We believe every cat deserves the benefits eating a raw diet can bring. Every pet parent deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are feeding the diet your cat evolved to eat. To accomplish this mission we educate pet parents with science-backed, practical information.
Feline Nutrition provides a website second to none, with thorough and documented feline nutrition and health information, carefully cited and footnoted to the science journals and studies - the research of the scientific community. Science is a word that has been badly abused by the status quo; we intend to take it back. We show how a bio-appropriate diet impacts the lives of cats and their humans by offering compelling stories from real people in real situations. The Answers area tackles the many questions you have, from beginner to advanced.
We communicate to all who keep cats. Too many have never heard of a raw meat diet, believing dry plant-based food to be acceptable, or at least adequate. Too many find out about a raw food diet only after searching for something that will help their sick or dying cat. Feline Nutrition messages change in a way that is lean and smart, speaking in a way that people will actually listen to. No yelling, we promise.
We understand that changing how you think about something can be difficult. Realizing that everything you thought you knew could be wrong can be unsettling. We communicate in a deliberate, moderate way about the benefits of bio-appropriate diets for cats, the dangers of dry food and the ease with which one choice, a bad choice, may be replaced by another.
Where We Are Going
We have become the go-to site for feline raw diet and health information. When people go searching for information on raw diets, they find us. But, that's not enough. Our goal is to reach those pet parents who aren't looking. The ones who don't give "cat food" a second thought.
Reaching pet parents when they first get their cat is one way. We liaise with organizations that have concerns about how cats are fed, including rescue and adoption groups, enlightened shelters and breeders and other feline advocacy organizations. We provide information for new cat owners on proper feeding for their new family members and promote the health benefits of bio-appropriate feeding.
We offer great
. The internet is full of cats and there are millions of people watching. We can take advantage of that to reach those pet parents who haven't heard of raw diets for cats. Getting the idea into people's heads is the first and hardest step. Once people start thinking about it, we are there to provide the information they need to make the change and do it right.
We are expanding our media presence. Through interviews and articles we are working to increase awareness of the benefits a natural raw meat diet can bring to cats, both in health and overall well-being.
We actively promote membership, which is free. We are already the world's largest feline raw diet organization, with thousands of members from over 80 countries. Membership matters. Just by being a member, you add your voice to the thousands who care deeply about cats and their welfare. Members are critical to changing the status quo. With a united and growing membership base, we are taken seriously by traditional and new media, and are better able to liaise with like-minded organizations to promote proper nutrition for cats. Everywhere cats can be found, we are the raw diet ambassadors to the world.

In 2013, Mama Mia's Ristorante in Seaville celebrated 25 years as one of the finest — and most successful — Italian restaurants in South Jersey.
But that fact alone doesn't totally surprise Owner Joseph Massaglia. It's about more than that.
"It's true, I can't believe it, but what I can't believe even more is that I have been in this business for 45 years," Massaglia says. "You can't take away the quarter of a century that we have thrived here. But to me, it's about my whole legacy. We established a great business with a great name and a great brand. We aren't just a restaurant. We are an institution. And I am proud of that."
It all started May 5, 1988, when Massaglia opened the doors to what was then just a pizzeria with six or seven tables. At the time, Massaglia was managing a gourmet steakhouse inside Trump Marina, which was preceded by him managing Victoria's at Steve Wynn's original Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, which was considered the top restaurant in A.C. at the time.
"I saw the light at the end of the tunnel and wanted to be my own boss and entrepreneur," says Massaglia, who decided to open his original location because it was near his residence. "The heartbeat of my business has always been Seaville. We experimented with everything under the sun since we opened there. I opened in the middle of nowhere, and people say Mama Mia's put Seaville on the map. People used to call and say, 'Where is Seaville?' We took off right away."
That small pizzeria eventually grew to 25 tables and 100 seats as Cape May County diners learned there was more to Italian restaurants than spaghetti and marinara.
"We started with a small, simple Italian menu, but we always had an experimental attitude," Massaglia says. "We introduced things that people in Seaville never had before … like pesto sauce. It sounds silly but people just didn't know that pasta could be cooked with a basil sauce and pine nuts. We would take balsamic and reduce it to it was so sweet and put it on our salads. No one caramelized balsamic down here 25 years ago. So between our experiments and introducing recipes that were in the family, people learned what great Italian food was here."
Massaglia learned how to cook in Italy at his mother's side, literally. Growing up in northwest Italy in a small town called Brozolo in the Piedmont region near the France and Switzerland borders, Massaglia was "raised next to my mother's skirt in the kitchen."
His parents owned a trattoria there, but he fell in love working summers on the bay in Portofino, where he started as dishwasher at 13 years old and eventually graduated to cooking.
"You have to have passion to cook and be a humble cook to start," Massaglia says. "I think you have to start with dishwashing pots and pans and getting your hands dirty … and I did that a long time."
Massaglia later worked for the acclaimed Italian hotel group CIGA and then received his education on the "real love boat," the MS Pacific, which was later called the Pacific Princess.
"It was just overall amazing exposure to food," Massaglia says. "From food service to garde manger to ice sculpture to food instruction to cooking … it was great knowledge."
On his very last cruise in 1975, Massaglia changed his mind about going back to Italy to open his own restaurant after he met his future wife Christine.
"I met this beautiful brunette with green eyes," Massaglia says. "I came to Philadelphia to visit her as a tourist in 1975 and I'm still here. Now we have four children — three girls and a boy — and none of them want to be in the food business. And I don't blame them. You have to have passion and stamina. It's tough. But the secret to success in this business is that it has to come from inside you."
Massaglia brought more than luggage and love for a beautiful woman to the United States. He brought tons of experience and a heritage full of recipes that can be tasted in his restaurants today.
His mother Bertina and brother Giovanni opened La Grolla in Philadelphia, and one of their family recipes — now named Tortellini Pavarotti — was made for opera great Luciano Pavarotti in 1976 at that restaurant. And that recipe – cheese tortellini with thyme, sage, herbs, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, white wine cream and parmigiano cheese reduction — is still being made at Mama Mia's.
"We always have traditional recipes from the regions of Italy, but we definitely gravitate toward northern Italian cuisine," Massaglia says. "Pavarotti was looking for a great Italian restaurant after he performed in Philadelphia and he ended up at our family restaurant. And my mother made this recipe for him and it's been amazing for us ever since."
Other longtime classics include roasted red pepper polenta Bagna Cauda ($9), Massaglia's hometown recipe of fresh roasted red peppers over polenta bagna sauce; penne "My Way" ($22) with sautéed shrimp or chicken, garlic, olive oil, caramelized onions, mushrooms, hot peppers, gorgonzola cheese and white wine sage cream sauce; the famous Penne Mama ($19) with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, sage, prosciutto, caramelized onions, peas, cognac, marsala wine and a rosa sauce; homemade gnocchi ($20) in a variety of sauces including Bava, a popular northern Italian recipe with butter sage cream sauce, fontina cheese and broccoli.
For entrees, you will always find the Carre Di Agnello ($27), stone-grilled rack of lamb encrusted with herb bread crumbs, shallots, glazed honey Dijon mustard and a brown sauce complemented with risotto; Pollo alla Olive Urcia ($21), sautéed chicken breast in a white wine, green olive sauce garnished with sundried tomatoes and sliced black olives; and the bouillabaisse ($27) with shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops and fish in a sauce made with shaved fennel, vegetables, white wine anise, bouillon herbs, tomato and saffron served over linguini with grilled garlic bread.
Massaglia still loves to experiment in the kitchen, particularly with his entrees. but one of his most stellar creations is Clams Julio ($11), an appetizer featuring a broth you can drink like a soup made with wine broth, pancetta, caramelized onions, roasted peppers and topped with toasted parmesan herb crumbs. Other recent experiments include Gnocchi Boscaiola ($20) with rosemary, sage, ground sausage, red wine and buffalo mozzarella; Valdostana Al Marsala ($21) boneless pork loin stuffed with ham, grueyere, fontina and mozzarella cheeses, breaded with panko crumbs and served in a marsala mushroom sauce; Bracciole di Verona ($22) beef bracciole sausage with wild mushrooms, roasted garlic, fresh herb bread crumbs and brown tomato red wine sauce served with ravioli and polenta; and the Salmon Farcito Petrale ($23), salmon filled with shrimp crab mornay over roasted red peppers and spinach in a white wine lemon sauce.
Insiders know to ask for Cotechino Modena, a sausage imported from Modena, Italy, that Massaglia says only he and Iron Chef Mario Batali carry in their restaurants in the United States.
"It's not on our menu, but we make it with lentils or garlic mashed potatoes," Massaglia says. "Mario Batali is the only person other than myself who has it here. Items like that help me educate people little by little. I'm getting old; I'm not a young chef anymore, but little things like that still get me excited."
But some things, no matter how experimental Massaglia wants to be, cannot change.
"I have been giving away bruschetta as a kind gesture ever since I opened," he explains with a laugh. "And I was thinking, 'Hey, the tomatoes are costing me $25 and the herbs and garlic and bread, I think I am giving away too much. I am going to stop it.' And people told me, 'You stop giving the bruschetta, we won't be back.' So I still offer it complimentary."
That value — along with great food — is what keeps people coming back, Massaglia says.
"People always have and always will want value," he says. "When you come here, you get the bruschetta, then you get a house salad, then with entrees you get a side of pasta and vegetable included in the price. In other places, you pay $20 for an entrée and then by the time you add everything, you're over $30. It's old-fashioned, but it works for us."
Lunch and takeout remain vital parts of Mama Mia's success. Brick-oven pizzas include the Florentine Quattro Formaggio ($14, $18), with spinach, roasted peppers and four cheeses, and the 12-inch Cape May Creole ($12) with grilled chicken, gorgonzola cheese, red peppers and pine nuts. A wide array of subs, paninis and finger foods complement pasta dishes that are available in Mama Mia's trademark party trays.
Massaglia's entrepreneurial spirit has certainly not been confined to Seaville. He opened Trattoria Giuseppe in Stone Harbor, which lasted from 1992 to 1994; Mama Mia's in Salem in the 1990s, which was purchased by the Amato family and is now called Amato's Mama Mia's; and Mama Mia's in Egg Harbor Township (see sidebar), which is another success story.
The local chef and business owner says he wants to work for five more years, retiring after 50 years in the business. He wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, including 2-year-old Isabel, who already loves to cook. And he wants to travel and do the things retirees do. But first, he wants to keep experimenting and reinventing without ever losing focus on what keeps him successful.
"I look forward to passing this business on to some young chef who shares the same passion and excitement I do and who can keep Mama Mia's thriving," Massagia says. "You always have to be creative and come up with new ideas. The ingredients you use are mostly the same, but how you combine things together is what keeps the excitement going and gives you that little high you get when you create something great. I am getting ready to throw in the towel and I want a successor to be able to carry on what I started. I want to leave a legacy."
Same great food in EHT
Joseph Massaglia opened his second Mama Mia's in 2009, this time as a boutique Italian eatery with just 25 seats.
Building on the reputation he created in Seaville, his Mama Mia's sequel has been successful since opening, offering an upscale experience in the evening with takeout and a casual lunch being a foundation for the business, offering pizzas, pastas, subs and more.
In the hallway of Mama Mia's you're transported to the Italian village of Portofino, with its faux windows and Italian architecture. In the dining room, a huge mural of Portofino — the town where Massaglia fell in love with the food business — is surrounded by hues and a classy ambience.
The menu changes to reflect fresh ingredients, and you can usually find fish such as bronzino roasted as a special and fileted tableside.
"It's a very small place and that's the way I want to keep it," says Massaglia, who plans to renovate the restaurant this year. "It's a small place where people know they can bring a great bottle of wine and share it with great food."

Description: A forgotten heroine of science and how she solved one of the crucial mysteries of the universe. "A short, excellent account of [Leavitt's] extraordinary life and achievements."Simon Singh, New York Times Book Review How big is the universe? In the early twentieth century, scientists took sides. One held that the entire universe was contained in the Milky Way galaxy. Their champion was the strong-willed astronomer Harlow Shapley. Another camp believed that the universe was so vast that the Milky Way was just one galaxy among billionsthe view that would prevail, proven by the equally headstrong Edwin Hubble. Almost forgotten is the Harvard Observatory "computer"a human number cruncher hired to calculate the positions and luminosities of stars in astronomical photographswho found the key to the mystery. Radcliffe-educated Henrietta Swan Leavitt, fighting ill health and progressive deafness, stumbled upon a new law that allowed astronomers to use variable starsthose whose brightness rhythmically changesas a cosmic yardstick. Miss Leavitt's Stars is both a masterly account of how we measure the universe and the moving story of a neglected genius. 10 illustrations.

George Johnson was born in 1952, in Fayetteville, Ark. He has worked for newspapers in Albuquerque, N.Mex. and Minneapolis, Minn., and is a science writer for the New York Times. His first book, Architects of Fear: Conspiracy Theories and Paranoia in American Politics (1984), won a special achievement award in nonfiction from the Los Angeles chapter of International PEN. Many of Johnson's other books evidence thoughtful, spiritual examinations of the relation between man and science. Fire in the Mind: Science, Faith and the Search for Order (1995) is about the diversity of ideas in New Mexico. Johnson draws parallels between Los Alamos and the worshipful view of scientific discovery and the high desert, a sacred place for the Tewa Indians and Hermanos Penitentes.

Beyond that – we know nothing and nothing has been agreed to.
We don't know if Fox's contract has been restructured. We don't know the salary of the last two years of the contract. We don't know if assistant coaches have been given a pay bump. We don't know if the buyout structure of the deal has changed.
But there is a lot of guessing going on right now – and I'm not immune to that myself. People pay me to tell them what I know, and what I think. The known, it is pretty clear on this one, is unknown. So here is what I think:
I think the biggest mistake people are making in their assumption is that McGarity would agree to extend the contract Damon Evans signed with Fox when he signed him away from Nevada last decade without any changes.
That, I think, is nearly impossible to believe.
Fox's current contract (again, there is no contract signed thus far) ends on March 31, 2016. The agreed extension will likely now end on March 31, 2018. But the final two years on the contract will probably have little in common with 2014-15 and 2015-16 that stand right now.
Why do I assume that? I'm just looking at the adjustments that McGarity has made to contracts at Georgia of late. I want to be clear – Damon Evans was not a good AD… all you have to do is look around at some of the coaches he hired that are no longer at Georgia, the coaching contracts he entered into while at Georgia and the dive in athletic performance over his tenure as AD to understand that. Evans' failure at the position is important to remember as Fox's current contract is one of the few things left from his era in charge – this and that silly indoor meeting room that charades as an football indoor practice facility.
That's why McGarity, put simply, is in between a rock and a hard place on this one. Frankly, Fox is, too. Had McGarity pulled the trigger and fired Fox after this season he would have certainly taken heat from national basketball pundits (who always side the coaches anyway because that's where they get their gossip from) for firing a coach who "finished tied for second in the SEC" and who "is a good coach coaching up not-great talent".
Fine – but like politics, running athletic departments is local (and political, too, if we are being clear). Those national pundits are glossing over the fact that Fox has been to the NCAA tournament once in the last seven seasons as a head coach – once. But national guys drool for the coaches… always. Why, too, would you fire a coach when his team did finish third in the conference it plays in? Fox certainly didn't deserve to be fired after this past season.
In addition, relieving Fox of his duties would have resulted in a significant payout to him. Consider that Fox would have received a buyout of more than $3.2 million thanks to the contract he signed in 2009-10 and the straight up extension he got in 2010-11. Fox, if he wanted to leave, would owe Georgia about $2 million.
Both of those are silly situations to be in. McGarity, in my view, correctly thinks that if a coach doesn't want to be at a school that coach should leave. McGarity won't say it, but he knows that Georgia is Georgia… and you don't leave Georgia for a slew of reasons – most notably the recruiting base and pay. God bless anyone who would really leave Athens for Pullman, Washington – where the average low temperature during basketball season struggles to get above freezing… if anyone is that crazy they need not be coaching at Georgia.
"Life's too short. If someone wants to move on, I have no problem with that," McGarity told the Athens Banner-Herald's Marc Weiszer two summers ago when he and Mark Richt agreed to a restructured contract
And one has to pay close attention to Richt's restructured contract from before the 2012 season. After all, Richt is quite obviously the most important coach at Georgia. If McGarity took his contract and restructured it why wouldn't he do the same with Fox's? Lest we forget Richt has been drastically more successful at his job as Fox has at his.
Again, according to Weiszer's reporting in the ABH: "The money Georgia will owe Richt if it fires him without cause also will decrease during the length of the deal. It's $4.8 million if he is fired after the 2012 season, but that number decreases to $2.4 million after the 2013 season, to $1.6 million after the 2014 season and $800,000 after the 2015 season."
Fox's current deal (again, he's not signed anything yet) doesn't decrease over time. Are we to believe that Richt, who has all of the leverage in the world, would agree to a restructured agreement, but that Fox, who has very little leverage with three losing seasons in five and one appearance in the NCAAs in a half decade, would not agree to that same sort of structure?
Of course not – yes, this will be an extension, but that ignores the fact that the contract will almost certainly be restructured and may well be completely new. And in doing so McGarity, in my view, is taking away any excuse for failure in the men's basketball program. I/we don't know that yet, but that's what's going to happen, and McGarity is doing his job and fulfilling his fiduciary responsibility in doing so.
I don't doubt that this news will help Fox on the recruiting trail – that's the entire point; this is a recruiting announcement. Coaches in the conference have been saying that Fox is going to be fired for two years now – that doesn't help in the recruiting wars. That argument won't be so convenient to use any more for Georgia's foes.
Recruits will see the headline that Fox got an extension as one less thing to worry about with Georgia – after all, he's going to be there four more years. The firepower that was "Mark Fox is going to get fired" has been taken away from other coaches' weaponry. You know by reading this article that Fox could very well leave or be fired after next season – I can assure you that no basketball recruit is going to say that at all (trust me, I am not that well-read in the basketball recruiting community).
So recruiting should come together better now – at least that's the case McGarity is making. When asked about recruiting he said:
"That's the responsibility of the head coach. Coach (Fox) knows what needs to be done. We need to recruit at a very high level because you have to continually restock every year. That is a very important point. We did talk about that. Needless to say sometimes that is the elephant in the room. We realize what needs to be done, but our staff stands ready to assist in any way," McGarity said.
The extension, McGarity added "puts to rest any questions when you are talking to a recruit about how long you are going to be around. This (new agreement) takes that off the table. We thought it would be important with recruiting to go ahead, and do it at this time."
McGarity, basically, did exactly what he needed to do. He gave Fox the cover he needed in recruiting. He's said publically, in a non-aggressive manner, that recruiting needs to improve. In his words, McGarity said: "Anybody would hope that when Mark signed his first contract that at the end of that six-year period that we were competing at a high level. We competed on a high level this year… not as high as we wanted to. Now we need to start stacking success upon success. I am sure we will be picked high. Our ultimate goal is to get into the show (NCAA Tournament)."
The path seems pretty clear. Mark Fox needs not just a good season next year, but a birth in the NCAAs to fell pretty comfortable about his future in Athens – extension, restructuring or whatever is going on with this "extension". McGarity said he wouldn't issue an ultimatum on next season: "Is (getting into the NCAAs) the final determining factor? You never go to a coach and say 'if this doesn't happen, or else you are gone.' I think that handcuffs a coach."
No, you don't say that to a coach, and you certainly don't broadcast that to the world (talk about undermining a coach). But what McGarity did on Wednesday was do the best he could given the circumstances he was given. As he put it: "Our staff stands ready to assist in any way."
With a four-year term on the way – it seems clear the rest is up to Fox.

Riverdance and Gaelic sports await China's Xi
When China's leader-in-waiting touches down for the only European stop of his trip on Saturday after a U.S. visit, Xi Jinping will not visit Germany, France or Britain.
Xi has set his sights on Ireland's rolling countryside where he will watch Gaelic football, have a private showing of the Irish Riverdance show and visit the idyllic Cliffs of Moher.
The vice-president's fascination with all things Irish dates back to his first trip to Dublin in 2003 when he was a provincial party secretary.
His love of Ireland has been cultivated by his friendship with Ireland's ambassador to China and a passion for sport.
He very correctly noticed the similarities between Gaelic football (the national game) and Australian rules football when the rules were explained by our former president on a recent visit, Irish ambassador to China Declan Kelleher said.
He's a man who understands sports.
Dublin's government is hoping to make the most out of Xi's visit to promote exports to China of anything from IT services to dairy products during the three-day visit.
Already Riverdance is very popular amongst the Chinese and Irish tourism officials are keen to entice visitors to see Ireland's picturesque west coast scenery, its rich cultural heritage and to drink Guinness in its hotels and bars.
Vice President Xi is well informed on Ireland and has a very positive attitude towards Ireland, Kelleher said in an interview. He is interested in Irish culture and indeed Irish sport as well.
Although the Xi visit is a major coup and a huge opportunity -- particularly with China set to keep investing in euro zone debt -- Ireland is no stranger to distinguished guests.
President Barack Obama began a four-nation European tour by visiting the Irish home of one of his ancestors last year while former President Bill Clinton last week told investors at a New York event that they would be nuts not to invest in Ireland.
But Ireland's chief goal, as it tries to exit an EU/IMF bailout on schedule next year, is to ensure its booming exports keep growing.
Although China accounts for just 2.5 percent of Irish merchandise exports and 1.9 percent of services, it is being targeted as a key growth area and Xi will attend an investment forum with some 300 companies in Dublin on Monday.
The relationship has been developing very fast, trade has been developing very fast and Ireland has been very willing to develop this, said Ding Yifan, an international affairs expert at the Chinese State Council's Development Research Center.
There's no trade friction. That's more a problem for old Europe with its old economies, Ireland has a new economy.
For Irish exporters who sell a wide range of products from ink cartridges to artificial limbs to China, the visit of the next leader of a state is a big deal.
Jimmy White, who exports brown crab and lobster to China from the north-west Irish county of Donegal in the face of colossal competition from North America, certainly thinks so.
It'll help, there's no doubt about it. It's a long way from south west Donegal to Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, White, manager of Hannigan Fish Trading, told Reuters.
China's a gigantic country with a thriving economy so we're certainly hoping to build on that.
The visit isn't all one way.
Beijing is keen to see how Ireland transformed from a developing agricultural economy to one that attracted high tech companies like Intel and houses facilities for nine of the top 10 global drug companies.
Before visiting a local dairy farm and the popular Cliffs of Moher in Ireland's rural south west, Xi will begin his trip at a high tech zone near Shannon airport which inspired the building of a similar zone in the city of Shenzhen, the pilot project of former leader Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms.
Chinese interest in Ireland has increased as a result and delegations from China, which have included the mayor of Beijing and high ranking members of the politburo, have quadrupled in the past 18 months, according to the Ireland China association.
However, having seen Chinese students who have never set foot in Ireland do a perfect rendition of Riverdance, the chairman of the voluntary body says the links go deeper than just business.
China has seen the U.S. use Ireland as an advantageous base to access the European market and I get the feeling that's something China would like to replicate, Kevin Lynch, whose Dublin law firm also practice in China, told Reuters

The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4 – 7 contains four more funny and spooky stories from the beloved series by James Howe.
An overnight camping trip! Howie, the Monroe's faithful dog, is not excited, and Chester the cat is worried. The woods, Chester informs Harold, are not only full of cockleburs and ticks, but of spirits - evil spirits who prey on the innocent. Harold is not taking Chester seriously. But when two strange men and their even stranger dog set up camp next to the Monroes, things begin to happen that make even Harold wonder. Could Chester be right?
Return to Howliday Inn:
Harold, Chester, and Howie return to Chateau Bow-Wow, and it's as creepy as ever. The Monroe pets, alongside cat burglars Felony and Miss Demeanor, with Hamlet, a Great Dane, and Weasel (a weasel, of course) , work together to solve the mysterious disappearance of fellow boarder named Rosebud.
Bunnicula Strikes Again!:
It seems that Bunnicula, the vampire rabbit, is back to his old ways - or so Chester thinks, having found pale vegetables drained of their juices and scattered about the Monroe family kitchen. This time Chester decides to take matters into his own hands (or rather paws).
Can Harold let Chester get away with hurting an innocent bunny, no matter what his harebrained suspicions are? When the Monroes notice Bunnicula's weakened condition and rush him to the vet, the chase is on, ending with a dramatic confrontation in a most unusual (and dangerous) location.
Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow:
The Monroe house is going mad with excitement.
Pete has just won a contest, and the prize is a school visit from none other than M. T. Graves, Pete's idol and the best-selling author of the FleshCrawlers series. He's even going to stay with the Monroes while he's visiting! Harold and Howie are thrilled, but Chester the cat is suspicious. Why does Graves dress all in black? Why doesn't the beady-eyed crow perched on his shoulder say anything? Why has a threatening flock of crows invaded the backyard? And most worrisome of all: In each of the FleshCrawlers books, why does something bad always happen to the pets?
Suddenly, Graves' interest in all of the animals - especially Bunnicula - looks far from innocent. It's up to Chester, Harold, and Howie to find out if M. T. Graves and Edgar Allan Crow are really devising a plot to make their beloved bunny...NEVERMORE!

terrible customer support passable book
yes but not on audible
The first series has better voice acting
Campy performance and some annoying voices.
The last book of the series cuts out at the end so you never know what happened to the bunny! MY toddler was not amused. I called customer service to have this fixed but nothing was done. I asked if I could have the last book as a single book since i already bought the set but as expected customer service was pathetic. I would cancel my service if i could get my credits held of refunded.

Lovely stories; incomplete narrator information
I don't know about better (gosh, I read and loved these books so much when I was a kid!), but audiobooks are of course a very different experience from reading in print, and for me there's something extremely soothing about having some tales--P.G. Wodehouse, Terry Pratchett, and, of course, James Howe--read aloud by the right narrator.
I suppose it has to be Harold, that scruffy dog who's been a fictional companion since I was wee--but, then, who's Harold without Chester? Who's Watson without his Holmes?
The sheer color and variety of his characterizations! Every character, no matter how small, gets distinct shading from Garber (the only character where I feel he goes seriously astray is Harrison in _Howliday Inn_ in the first collection). But really, my favorite thing here is the cosy, often hilarious rightness of his voices for the main characters. Everyone no doubt envisions Harold, Chester, and Howie differently, but Garber gets them just as I'd imagined only somehow more so.
A few years ago, I reread Howe's _Bunnicula_ stories for the first time since childhood. They remain charming, engaging, and fun. I have an enduring love for this series, and Victor Garber's readings have given me a magnificent fix.
NOTE: VICTOR GARBER ONLY NARRATES THE FIRST THREE OF THE FOUR BOOKS IN THIS COLLECTION. I purchased this in the first place because I hadn't yet read or listened to _Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allen Crow_. The other three books I bought separately years ago on iTunes, but I was happy to spend a credit on this for a new-to-me _Bunnicula_ tale read by a narrator I like. Alas, that last book is read not by Garber but by Patrick Mulvahill, and I don't care for his performance. I ended up returning this.

What are your favorite still-active blogs?
I've mentioned previously that the blogosphere is feeling a little quieter lately, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
What are some of your favorite still-active writing and publishing blogs? Who's out there still innovating and keeping the people talking?

Hard to find good blogs related to writing these days that aren't utterly devoted to promoting the work of a single author--new releases, appearances at book signings, etc. etc. (YAWN)
I'd like to see more space devoted to the writing life, especially the ups and downs of choosing the indie/self-publishing path. I'm less interested in sales figures than I am finding out how my colleagues endure the daily grind of putting words on paper, with little expectation of reward. Fame and fortune? You might as well put your faith in buying lottery tickets. I've been a professional writer for 30 years and i still struggle to draw attention to my stories and novels.
All that said, the two writers I check in with most often are Peter Watts and Ian Sales. They're intelligent guys and not nearly as self-obsessed as many of my other colleagues in the blogosphere. Check 'em out:

Although I agree with a previous commenter that many blogs nowadays are either selling an individual's books or pushing the self-publication model, I still like to read what some agents are saying for writers. Although Rachelle Gardner no longer blogs regularly in her own space, she's an integral part of the several agents that publish on the Books & Such blog. I also enjoy what Steve Laube has to say. Thanks for asking.

I've always favored well-written PERSONAL writerly/publishy experiences. Think Nora Ephron sort of blogs. I still have a few on my list, but they are getting thinner.
It's all right. Quality is not quantity.

Mirka, I also like personal writer's blogs. Sara Letourneau writes a prolific one at http://saraletourneauwriter.com.
The blog at DIYMFA.com has diverse, unique writer voices, and is focused on both craft and publishing.
And (I'm saying this humbly, if it's ok to mention this) I also write a blog for writers called Words From The Sowul at www.leannesowul.com.

Every Friday, Jon Gibbs does a roundup of interesting blog posts from the week:
It's a good place to start, in addition to the blogs already mentioned above.
I still follow several writers' blogs, though not so much for writing or publishing advice. In fact, I find that I approach blogs mostly as a reader now: I'm looking for good stories and book recommendations.

At the moment, I enjoy reading the blogs of people who I believe I could have some sort of relationship with, so well-moderated forums or social media groups are a far more satisfying use of my time than blogs or websites have been in the past couple of years.
In other words, I like to read the blogs of people who I might want to maintain a regular line of communication with. http://marblesonglass.blogspot.com/ comes to mind when I think of a blogger who is interested in maintaining long-term ties with other bloggers.

May I humbly suggest my own blog? www.fangsandclause.wordpress.com
It's a cranky account of the struggle both as an editor and as a writer. I went freelance as a copyeditor in 2008 and got really sick of self-promoting everything-is-sunshine-and-roses blogs where and talking to myself. Thus I started a blog.

Almost ten years later since the US housing crash, the largest lender in the nation, Fannie Mae, is adjusting the ceiling for the debt-to-income ratio (DTI) for loan applicants starting next month, bumping the current ratio from 45% to 50%. What exactly does that mean for potential borrowers? The DTI ratio is a figure most lending institutions use to calculate the maximum amount each applicant can borrow and the rate they're given, based upon the borrower's overall debts and overall income - thus, calculating their ability to repay the loan. The ratio used is arrived at by calculating a percentage of the borrower's monthly income, matched against their debts - things like credit card bills, car loans, student loans, etc. - and finding enough money left over for a mortgage payment. In order to qualify for a home loan, the borrow's debts need to be within that specified percentage range (under the "ceiling" or cap) when compared to their income. Basically, the lower DTI the applicant has, the more favorable loan terms they are likely to receive (and the more they're allowed to borrow). Historically, Fannie Mae was created following the Great Depression to allow a secondary market of home loans, making it possible for more Americans to become homeowners. Making the decision to raise the DTI ceiling now could allow more potential homeowners to enter the market - particularly, within the millennial generation (many who have been slowly chipping away at large student loan debts). Read more about this in the article below!
Taking a vacation can be exhausting work! As much as we enjoy leaving our everyday behind to start on an adventure for a week or two or more, how much more enjoyable it usually is to see our own front door again...unless that front door is standing open! Here are some suggestions for keeping the good vibrations from your summer vacation alive by following a few safety tips before heading out:
A quick visit to the USPS online service to put a "HOLD" on mail delivery should be the first order of business. Don't forget to arrange stopping any newspaper delivery as well. Or perhaps, just ask one of your neighbors to scoop that up when they give the place a quick once over daily. Your Neighborhood Watch captain would most likely welcome the opportunity to help in this area.
Unplug small appliances and electronics like the TV that won't be used while you're gone. Not only will you save on electricity, you'll protect your gear from any electrical surges. (Unplug even if you have surge protection. It could prevent an electrical fire.)
May 2017 Snapshot
Source: Information and Real Estate Services, LLC | Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed
If you want to know whether this year is going to be good for buyers or sellers or both we need to look at several factors. First, looking at the housing market we see a recent uptick in mortgage rates. Second, we are seeing home prices move upwards and third, low inventory does not appear to be changing anytime soon. This has made buying a home slightly less affordable than it was a couple of years ago, but that doesn't seem to be stopping the flood of buyers in the marketplace.
They may realize that mortgage rates, still at historically lows, means buying a home remains a very affordable choice. This does appear true when taken together with recent economic data.
According to the most recent outlook from Fannie Mae's Economic & Strategic Research Group, how things play out will depend largely on young Americans who are just beginning to enter the real estate market in greater numbers.
The National Association of REALTORS' Pending Home Sales Index is a good indication of where home sales will be a month or two down the road. Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist, says we may be seeing fewer contracts signed simply because of the lack of available listings. The number of buyers in the market is strong and hasn't abated, in spite of the inventory struggles.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- A special reunion took place along Sarasota's Bayfront Park, where art and history came to life 68 years later.
Standing 25 feet tall along Sarasota's Bayfront is a sculpture that recreates that famous kissing photo on the cover of Life Magazine, marking the end of World War II in 1945.
While on leave in New York City, an 18-year-old Carl "Moose" Muscarello was walking through Times Square with a buddy when he hears the war has ended.
Carl says, "I was very happy I would kiss all the girls standing still, even a couple of guys. I was in a kissing mood, it was great."
Carl is the "kissing sailor" in that famous photograph. A series of sculptures titled "Unconditional Surrender" re-enact that moment, including the statue in Sarasota.

Disgraced former governor Mark Sanford releases a full page ad rehashing why he was 'trespassing' at his ex-wife's house and even includes his REAL cell number for voters to call with questions
- Mark Sanford released a lengthy ad in a local newspaper explaining how he broke the rules of his divorce to watch the Super Bowl with his son
- His ex-wife filed a lawsuit calling it a 'pattern' of trespassing
- Lawsuit led to the National Republican Congressional Committee to pull their funding for the race, and now he is 9 points down
- The Republican spoke to MailOnline about his motivation behind the ad
- Said that original version of events sounded like a 'rather spooky story'
Former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford released a full page ad in a local newspaper explaining why he was caught leaving his ex-wife's house, the revelation of which started a domino effect for his congressional campaign.
He didn't stop explaining his side of the story with the 1,200-word ad either, as he included his real cell phone number in the 'personal message', encouraging voters to call him with questions.
'I think that people always want to know the real story, the full story,' he told MailOnline by phone.
'Context matters': Former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford told MailOnline that he released a full page ad in order to get his side of the trespassing story out to the voters before the election
The Republican former governor was the subject of an ethics investigation after he was caught returning to his home state after a trip to visit his mistress in Argentina even though he told his staff he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. The affair lead to his fall from grace, and eventual divorce from his wife Jenny.
Now the details of their divorce have come to light after she filed a lawsuit against him for a 'pattern' of trespassing after he entered her Sullivans' Island home without her permission in early February.
Last-ditch effort: Sanford's campaign took out a lengthy ad in a local paper over the weekend as his poll numbers drop just two weeks before the election
That lawsuit led to an explanation from Sanford- who said he was watching the second half of the Super Bowl with his 14-year-old son while his ex was out of town- but that didn't stop the National Republican Congressional Committee from pulling their funding from the race.
And that move came even before Jenny confirmed that the first time that one of the couples' sons met his Argentinian mistress-turned-fiancée was on stage at his primary victory party just weeks ago.
When MailOnline spoke to Mr Sanford on Monday, he said that he felt the need to take out the lengthy ad in The Post and Courier in order to make sure that the voters knew the whole story.
'I think that context matters,' he said.
The first reports of the trespassing incident in question drew from the court documents that Jenny Sanford's legal team filed, saying that he was seen leaving the back door of her Sullivans Island home using his cell phone as a flashlight.
'That's a rather spooky story- it would creep anybody out,' he said.
For that reason, he and his campaign staff felt the need to flesh it out more in print, in wordy detail.
did, indeed, watch the second half of the Super Bowl at the beach house
with our 14-year-old son because, as a father, I didn't think he should
sit alone and watch it. Given Jenny was out of town, I tried to reach
her beforehand to tell her of the situation that had arisen, and met her
at the back steps and told her what had happened under the light of my
cell phone when she returned,' the ad reads.
The 10-paragraph ad goes on to talk
about the influx of funding from Democratic political action committees,
backing his competitor Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
It also talks about his history of cutting government spending, even taking the unexpected route of bringing up his frugality when it came to his trips while serving as the state's governor.
Awkward: Mark Sanford's son is visibly uncomfortable when he was standing next to his father's mistress-turned-fiancee Maria Belen Chapur, a woman he had met for the first time just moments before
Celebration: Sanford leans in for a kiss with his fiancee following his win on Tuesday night
Considering his ethics charges- of which he was cleared- surrounding the extramarital affair stemmed from the cost of his trips to meet his mistress, talking about other issues may have seemed like the more politically safe option.
One thing he does not mention in the ad is the report that one of his son's first meetings with his father's mistress-turned-fiancée was onstage at his victory party for his primary win earlier this month.
When asked if the public venue was really the first time that his son had met his future stepmother, he said: 'one of them had and one of them hadn't'.
'That's the nature of a surprise- I didn't know she was coming,' he said of his fiancée Maria Belen Chapur.
The report of the awkward encounter made news when Jenny Sanford confirmed it on Wednesday.
The trespassing revelation, family introduction at the victory party and the withdrawal of NRCC funding all made for- as, Sanford said in the ad, 'a rough week'. And now a new poll shows that it has taken its toll.
Ex-couples court: Former governor Mark Sanford
(left, now running for the state's open congressional seat) is accused
of trespassing on his ex-wife's property and she confirmed the victory party incident
Trespassing: Jenny Sanford's lawyer filed court documents stating that her ex-husband Mark repeatedly entered her Sullivans Island home (pictured) without permission
The Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling released the latest numbers on Monday saying that Sanford was trailing Mrs Colbert Busch by nine points, with the Democrat winning 50 per cent to the Republican's 41 per cent.
The poll was conducted between April 19 and 21, two days after the wave of bad news hit the Sanford campaign.
'Elizabeth Colbert Busch is now looking like a clear favorite in the special election,' the poll reads.
'The only question is whether an extremely unpopular Sanford can find some way to make voters like her even less than him in the next two weeks.'

NYC Housewife Sonja Morgan Wants To Sell Her $7 Million St. Tropez Retreat
Real Housewives of New York City star Sonja Morgan wants to say au revoir to her gorgeous getaway in the South of France… for the right price, that is.
This socialite knows money talks and is already renting the European retreat for nearly $120,000… wait for it… a month! So the lucky owner is going to have splash even more cash to call this home.
Celebuzz. "I love the St. Tropez house.
"But I'd like to get out of Chapter 11."
The TV vixen filed for Chapter 11 in November 2010, listing nearly $20 million in debts.
But while she's thinking about counting those multi-millions, potential owners are already vying for the exclusive property — with an offer of $7 million on the table.
And we're not surprised.
The charming villa has all the character of a French countryside retreat — from the five bedrooms, French doors in every room that open up to the lush green gardens, vine draped patios, sparkling pool and incredible ocean views.
And this isn't the first home away from home the housewife is getting rid of — she already has her Colorado ranch on the market for a cool $9 million.
Take an exclusive tour inside Sonja Morgan's St. Tropez retreat in the CB! gallery above.

If Nick Kyrgios' purple suit was not quite loud enough at the recent Newcombe Medal function, the Wimbledon quarter-finalist also appeared keen to make a verbal statement.
A specific one, considering how many times that night Kyrgios publicly endorsed his close friend and Davis Cup squadmate Thanasi Kokkinakis as the other young star at the forefront of a long-awaited renaissance in Australian men's tennis.
Was this planned? Rehearsed? Was there some kind of chummy back-slapping pact made beforehand?
"I don't know! I was surprised, he kept bringing up my name," laughs Kokkinakis, who won the best junior male athlete gong at the same function, but whose senior ranking (150th) is already a shade more advanced than Kyrgios had managed at the same age (18).
"He likes talking about me. It's a bit weird ..." Kokkinakis joked. "No, we're good mates, and he likes a chat here and there."
Kokkinakis, too, is a good talker, and keen basketballer, and exciting young prospect in the big-serve-and-forehand mould, which makes it unsurprising that the two Australian Open junior finalists from 2013 are inevitably bracketed together.
It was Kyrgios who made the big breakthrough by monstering world No.1 Rafael Nadal at the All England Club, while Kokkinakis rates his own graduation year as one of more ups than downs.
Specifically, there was the South Australian's maiden grand slam match win as a 17-year-old at Melbourne Park, against 73rd-ranked Igor Sijsling, and successful qualifying efforts at ATP Masters 1000 events in Toronto and Shanghai.
More generally, he takes heart from the fact that, without any spectacularly good results, he has already leapt from 628th to 150th in not quite one full season.
"It feels like I've gotten to about 150 without any real breakout tournaments, or without really playing that well," said Kokkinakis, who pushed top-20 duo Feliciano Lopez and Kevin Anderson in close three-setters.
"I've shown my level's there, so it's just taking that next step, and maybe a little bit to do with fitness and concentration - I think it's concentration, mainly.
"It tells me I'm really close. There's a few matches that if I'd just turned it around I feel like I could have been in the top hundred by the end of this year - like, I had a match point to qualify at the French Open.
"But then again, I'm not really too worried about where my ranking's at right now, because I think I'm in a good position to really make a good push next year."
To that end, Kokkinakis left for Dubai on Thursday with AFL club Port Adelaide, the teenager having formed a casual alliance with the Power and spent some gym time getting to know the likes of Jackson Trengove, Chad Wingard and Ollie Wines.
But he will still be guided by his own Adelaide-based fitness team in the UAE, and travel with long-time coach Todd Langman.
"I think it will be good for me to train in a couple of different places - that helps keep me motivated a little bit," Kokkinakis said before departing. "And the weather's going to be really hot there, really humid, so it's going to be good preparation.
"I'm going to be doing a lot of sweating, and I'm just trying to get in the best shape possible coming into the Aussie summer."
Kokkinakis will also practice in Dubai with Roger Federer, Kyrgios having spent a week with the 17-time grand slam champion in Zurich back in May.
"Obviously his intensity's going to be good, and his level's unbelievable, so when I've seen him train he's pretty much a perfectionist as well," Kokkinakis said of the champion Swiss.
"I'm ready to be thrashed while I'm over there, and hopefully I come away healthy and real fit."
For the second consecutive year, Kokkinakis will thus skip the annual Australian Open wildcard play-off - surely a certainty to receive a discretionary invitation from the selectors, but claiming he will happily contest qualifying if not.
This is about testing himself in other ways; seeking variety and some new training horizons beyond Adelaide and Melbourne Park.
"You see all the same Australian guys; I don't think there's a whole lot of point me playing it," he said.
"I'm not saying it would be a walk in the park, by no means, cos there are great players in it, but I just wanted to do something different again. I like to be a bit different to the other guys … and I think it's gonna hold me in good stead."
Staying injury-free remains a priority, the 196-centimetre right-hander having endured six and seven-month stints on the sidelines with stress fractures in his back as a junior, before minor neck and ankle setbacks earlier this season.
He is fitter and stronger than last year, though; more experienced, and more aware of what to expect, week after intensely competitive week.
Behind him, thankfully, is a final school year Kokkinakis admits he found distracting at times. "My year was a little bit broken up with that, on and off," he said, having set himself for a basic year 12 pass mark, in a let's-just-get-it-over-with way.
"I was going on for matches, and my teachers were telling me 'why hasn't this been sent through?' or stuff like that, so that was driving me nuts. It's really good to kind of be stress-free right now and focusing on my tennis. I've got no excuses."
Game-wise, he and "coach-slash-brother" Langman have recently been collaborating with former top-20 player Jason Stoltenberg, who formerly worked with 2002 Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt and most recently with Ashleigh Barty, with whom Kokkinakis shares a US-based agent. All good, it seems, so far.
"Thanasi has a big game. He has weapons, potential weapons, which is important these days," says Stoltenberg. "I think he still has a lot of things to learn, and physically he can get a lot stronger, but he's got a good team around him.
"Ultimately there's just a lot of upside to Thanasi's game in a lot of areas that he's really not tapping into yet. I see a young guy who's pretty raw, with a lot of ability and a lot of power, who seems to really want to succeed and want to do well."
The same, of course, goes for the little-further-along Kyrgios, with whom Kokkinakis shares a "pretty tight" rivalry on Playstation, famously competitive practice sessions, and a fondness for hoops. As basketballers, then, who has bragging rights?
"He's probably a better one-on-one player, but when it gets to the team, I think I get it done. I've got him in the shooting; I've got him from long range."
Long-term, both are marvellous prospects, the question of who will eventually be the better player still one that is often asked.
Kokkinakis has been impressed with how Kyrgios has handled the increased pressures and expectation of late, and knows, too, that there will be more eyeballs trained on the other Special K this summer, but intends to block out "all the other stuff" and concentrate only on his opponent, confident that the results will come.
Which, of course is nothing that Kyrgios has not already flagged, with his many and not-too-varied "obviously, Thanasi, he's gonna have a massive next year" public statements a few weeks back.
That night, as Kyrgios strutted his purple stuff, Kokkinakis sported a more classic tuxedo-and-slicked-back-'50s-hair look, the style differences obvious, matters of substance still yet to be fully revealed.

THE political fix for Queensland's power price pain has hit a stalemate on the eve of one of the most demanding days to confront the local electricity grid.
State Energy Minister Mark McArdle has accused Prime Minister Julia Gillard of "a dishonest grab for a headline" following yesterday's release of her plan to save households $250 a year on their power bills.
The issue will come to a head on Friday when Ms Gillard meets state premiers at a Council of Australian Governments meeting.
But the southeast first faces a serious test of the network at the centre of the debate between the nation's leaders.
With temperatures tomorrow set to hit levels not recorded in the southeast for more than a decade, the network will be swamped by consumers turning to airconditioners and fans to combat a near-40C heatwave.
Mr McArdle said he was confident the system would cope because of billions of dollars invested in new generation and distribution capacity in recent years.
The "gold-plating" of those networks - massive spending on poles and wires to build up a capacity to cope with loads experienced on only a handful of days each year - is at the centre of the stand-off between the Prime Minister and premiers.
"What we are talking about is a detailed plan to change many features of the way the electricity market runs," Ms Gillard told Channel 10.
The Prime Minister said under the new plan power distribution businesses would be able to cut about $2-3 billion in spending over the next five years, translating to a saving of $250 a year for householders.
The new strategy would also create a new Consumer Challenge Panel to let consumers question the way power companies propose price rises.
The states will also be asked to implement smart meters and cost-reflective pricing.
But Mr McArdle said the proposed savings were uncosted and called on the Prime Minister to release full details of her calculations before Friday's meeting.
He said the figure had not been raised at a meeting of energy ministers in Melbourne just two weeks ago.
"Regardless, today's proposed saving is a dishonest grab for a headline that is not backed up by any details," Mr McArdle said. "It should be judged accordingly."
He also claimed that smart meters, instead of reducing prices, could boost annual household bills by hundreds of dollars.
"The use of smart meters will cost up to $1 billion to roll out across the state," he said.
Mr McArdle said the State Government had recently released an interim report by an expert committee that identified long-term reforms aimed at producing savings for electricity customers
But he acknowledged that resolutions of the continuing problem of soaring power prices "does need to be a joint plan put forward by the state and federal governments".
"I think there will be differences as to how that plan can be effectively put on the ground," he said.
Even if the premiers and the Federal Government strike a deal on Friday, consumer advocacy group One Big Switch spokesman Christopher Zinn said consumers would have to wait before they would notice any price falls.
"It does take time for those savings to flow through," Mr Zinn said.
