Although the rally in stocks has drawn in fresh money, last year's big slowdown in trading is likely to lead to some further thinning of the online broker herd in 2013. Some of that will come through a handful of takeovers, and others will occur via straightforward closures, according to brokerage executives and analysts.
Because of continued near-zero interest rates and cost increases in clearing fees and data from exchanges, "there will have to be consolidation this year. It may be less in the form of mergers, though, and more likely where one firm just exits the business and sells its accounts to another firm," says George Ruhana, CEO of OptionsHouse. As the head of one big firm puts it, "there is excess system and people capacity."
TD Ameritrade AMTD 0.6589268904926263% TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD32.08 0.21 0.6589268904926263% /Date(1444683752351-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1439565 AFTER HOURS USD32.08 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 16964 P/E Ratio 21.972602739726028 Market Cap 17311179890.6701 Dividend Yield 1.8703241895261846% Rev. per Employee 560735 More quote details and news » (ticker: AMTD) Senior Vice President Steve Quirk adds, "The industry is probably in the seventh or eighth inning of the acquisition game." He says there are still some opportunities, and that the smart companies are evaluating and watching for the right strategic/financial balance.
Hedge fund Citadel's recent announcement that it was shedding its 9.6% stake in E*Trade is a sign the market for online brokers is pretty limited, according to Richard Repetto of equity-research firm Sandler O'Neill. Citadel has been pushing E*Trade ETFC 0.6118546845124283% E*TRADE Financial Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD26.31 0.16 0.6118546845124283% /Date(1444683600360-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1774188 AFTER HOURS USD26.31 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11582 P/E Ratio 16.865384615384617 Market Cap 7591528118.01643 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 592984 More quote details and news » (ETFC) to sell itself and apparently gave up on its quest, he noted. E*Trade hasn't commented on Citadel's decision to sell.
The only relatively large firm to disappear in 2012 was Zecco, which was folded into TradeKing via a August merger.
Fewer new brokers are expected to jump in to restock the ranks. CEO Neville Golvala of ChoiceTrade says, "It is unlikely that a new market entrant can be successful in a crowded field." Fidelity's recently hired executive vice president of retail brokerage, Ram Subramaniam, notes, "The number of new entrants into the brokerage space has certainly slowed as it has become more difficult and expensive to introduce a new trading platform that could compete with what is currently available."
Still, a number of intrepid newcomers have braved the environment over the last 18 months: Ditto Trade, Motif Investing, Kapitall Investing and OptionShop, all of which Barron's has covered. These entrants occupy small niches, though, and they cater to a specific investment style or process. Tom Heffernan, vice president of marketing at TradingBlock, says, "We figure they're just short-term plays looking to prove their model and then try to cash out if the big boys find what they're doing has value, and choose to acquire or replicate."
Alok Prasad, head of Merrill Edge, believes there's room for a broker that provides integrated services, including self-directed, advisory, and banking. "We don't expect to see a lot of new entrants in the traditional direct brokerage model, but rather the emergence of interesting new providers in line with these themes, including analytics and social collaborative consumption," says Prasad. Not surprisingly, Merrill Edge is such a broker.
Analyst Repetto says trading volumes in the second half of 2012 were "just miserable." The dollar volume for stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange declined 25.5% from 2011 to 2012; the fall was 32.2% when comparing just the latter half of each year. "The numbers have modestly improved since the back half of 2012," says Repetto. However, he isn't anticipating a big uptick for the first quarter.
MINI-OPTIONS ARE IN PLAY with investors. Launched on March 18, these options in five names ("Apple in Small Bites," March 4), are designed to give individuals a chance to buy options on some popular, high-priced stocks and exchange-traded funds in more-affordable batches of 10 shares, rather than 100.

port scan definition
A port scan is a series of messages sent by someone attempting to break into a computer to learn which computer network services, each associated with a "well-known" port number, the computer provides. Port scanning, a favorite approach of computer cracker, gives the assailant an idea where to probe for weaknesses. Essentially, a port scan consists of sending a message to each port, one at a time. The kind of response received indicates whether the port is used and can therefore be probed for weakness.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence, a
Republican, will be the keynote speaker at a meeting of social
conservatives calling on lawmakers to approve a controversial
constitutional amendment which seeks to prohibit Indiana from
recognizing any union other than a heterosexual union.
Next Thursday's Faith and Community
Leader Legislative Luncheon is sponsored by the Indiana Family
Institute and its Indiana Pastors Alliance.
"The battle lines for the future of
marriage are drawn," Curt Smith, the group's president, said in
announcing the upcoming event. "Your support and direct
participation are vital. Please attend this pivotal meeting and
bring others."
The 13-member House Judiciary Committee
on Monday will consider HJR-3, formerly HJR-6, which easily cleared
the Republican-controlled House and Senate in 2011. A second vote is
needed before the amendment can head to voters in November.
(Related: Indiana
House panel to consider proposed gay marriage ban on Monday.)
Pence has previously voiced his support
for the amendment.

Product Reviews
nanaannieDuluth, MNAge: 55-65Gender: female1 Stars Out Of 5Would NOT recommendDecember 20, 2010nanaannieDuluth, MNAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1I was SO disappointed in this book. At first I was very excited to teach a class of apologetics to my ladies' Bible study and one by John Ankerberg, no less. However, it is first of all FULL of typographical errors. AMG did NOT do a a good job of proofing this book before it went to press. Wrong Bible verse addresses are very common and a chart misprint about the afterlife relates that faith in Jesus is works-based theology. Mr. Ankerberg is an old-earth creationist (his label--I would catagorize him as a theistic evolutionist) which affects some of his other views in the book. I could never buy this book for a friend and say, "Here, study this for yourself." I wrote Mr. Ankerberg and AMG several times but never heard back from them so, I am left to write this review.

I can't really seem to grasp what it really means to say a problem is NP-Complete. Could anyone help me with the following question?
An NP-complete problem is a problem for which one can prove that an algorithm for solving it in polynomial time does not exist. Is the statement true?
I would want to say this statement isn't true, because can anyone actually prove that such an algorithm doesn't exist for any NP-Complete problem? From looking around on various sources, I understand that no polynomial time algorithm is known for any NP-Complete problem; however, it can't be proven.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dresden Frauenkirche
The signature landmark of Dresden is the Frauenkirche, the Church of Our Lady. It is one of the most talked about German buildings in the recent past.
In World War II, air-raids wiped out Dresden, destroying many historic buildings and churches. Among them was the Frauenkirche, which collapsed into a 42 feet high pile of rubble; the ruins were left untouched for 40 years, a reminder of the destructive powers of war.
I'm nobody
Dresden was on our way to Prague so we thought we would look at the old city, and the church they had to rebuild after the serious bombing during the war. We had a walk around, saw some great historic buildings and had a beer. It was a lovely city but me and Roy were both hot now, so we pushed on to Prague to find a hotel.
We thought about camping but wanted easy down time.
... Pity.
Also climbed a few steps in the church to have a look at the old city from above!!!
Joined the cycle brigade one day and rode to a village 26km away down the river Elbe. Nice ride although it was a bit hot (the weather has improved and its now 30+ degrees). The town – Meissen – is known for its famous porcelain. And its cathedral and castle!!! Quite a medieval town with cobbled streets. You can do ...

The tour couldn't have taken up more than 2 square miles although this is where so much of the history is. We weren't fully aware that Dresden was one of the last areas bombed at the very end of World War ll ...

help-history of child abuse
Lilyan Gene coming July 29th to a hospital near me :)
"Don't judge me because I sin differently than you do."
Believe in yourself!
I had a rough childhood and I have to remember to research other ways to discipline and deal with difficult situations.
I made it a rule in our house there is no hitting (spanking counts) and no yelling - ever!
I give my self timeouts when I can't handle it.
Just really try to educate yourself on other techniques and practice them now!! It is hard not to do what our parents did because that is all we know but you can.
Talk to your therapist about techniques or someone in your area you can go to for help. There are county run centers here that offer child care classes that teach about positive disipline.

Try to relax (I know, easier said than done). Having been in therapy helps, have you talked to your therapist about your concerns?
Even though there are many people who continue the cycle of abuse, there are many of us who don't. My dad was very abusive, I had similar concerns to you when I had my daughter and was so scared I'd get PPD or something. I used to second guess myself on everything I was so worried about continuing the cycle, every rock, every bounce, every time I picked her up when she wouldn't stop crying... I always worried something would happen or I'd hurt her like I was hurt. But she's 16 months old now, loves me to death, I can't imagine life without her, and laugh about how ridiculoussome of my fears of hurting her were. My childhood abuse HAS affected the way I parent - but not in a bad way. I may never spank my child, because I know that can get out of hand and would always worry I was doing it too aggressively. I will never hurt my child the way my parents hurt me. I'm turning it into a positive and allowing my childhood abuse to make me an even better parent. I may not be perfect, but I will not hurt my child.

This might not go over well, but this is what I've learned in my experience. There is a reason people tend to end up like their parents, even when they vow they never will. I have found that the only way to be free of becoming like your parents is to forgive them for whatever they've done to you. Doesn't mean their behaviour is excusable. It just means you release any anger and bitterness towards them. Without doing that, you cannot be truly free of their hold over you, and we tend to end up becoming just like those we judge. Again, I am in no way saying what they did was not horrible. Anyway, there is a lot more to it than that, but that is the main principle that I think is key to finding freedom.

I know that parenting classes exist, though I'm not sure how to access them. But it might make you feel better, give you some extra skills, and relax if you were to take them.
Talk to your OB about your concerns. S/he might be able to give you some resources that you could use. Any education you can give yourself on good parenting techniques, and breaking patterns would probably be beneficial since you don't have your own parents to use as a guide.

Buy a Welcome calligraphy wall scroll here!
Start your custom "Welcome" project by clicking the button next to your favorite "Welcome" title below...
This is the Japanese greeting that you'll hear just about every time you enter a sushi bar, restaurant, or shop in Japan.
This calligraphy would be appropriate to hang by the entry door of your business or shop.
This would be the ultimate Chinese "welcome mat". Except it will be on your wall, and people will not step on it.
In a somewhat literal translation, you could say it means, "I feel happiness as I welcome you, as you have brought a shining light to this place with your arrival" or in a more simple way, "I am happy you've come as your presents really brightens up the place".
It has become common for this greeting to be announced by the staff upon the arrival of any customer in to a fancy store in China. You will also see these characters on the "welcome mats" in front of 4 and 5 star hotels in China.
Having this on a wall scroll is an extra nice touch. I have seen a few horizontal scrolls with this phrase on the wall behind the reception desk of better hotels, or near the front door of fine shops. At the most fancy department stores and restaurants in China, several greeters (almost always young women) will stand by the front door all wearing sashes with this phrase embroidered on them. As you walk in, they will bow and say "huan ying guang lin" to welcome you to the establishment.
Note: The first two and last two characters do make words in Korean Hanja, but seldom used as a sentence like this in Korean.
This is a common Japanese way to say, "welcome home".
This is said by a person greeting another as they return home. It's a typical phrase that is almost said by reflex as part of Japanese courtesy or etiquette.
Sometimes written as 御帰りなさい (just first character is Kanji instead of Hiragana).
This means master in Chinese (occasionally used in Korean Hanja and Japanese as well). In the context of Martial Arts, this is the master and teacher who instructs students.
The second character by itself means father. Thus, you get the "Fatherly Master" translation. There's an old Chinese saying that goes something like, "One who is your teacher for one day, is your father for life".
Language notes: I've often seen this romanized as "sifu", this is actually the Cantonese romanization. In Mandarin Chinese, it's "shifu". The pronunciation in Mandarin is actually like "sure foo" (using typical English pronunciation). There's an "R-sound" in there, which is not obvious from the romanization. Many martial arts studios incorrectly pronounce this like "she foo" (which is actually the Japanese pronunciation). In Cantonese, it sounds like "Sea foo" (almost like "sea food", minus the "d" on the end).
This is kind of a weird selection for a calligraphy wall scroll, this entry is more for educational purposes. But you are welcome to buy it if you feel it's appropriate for your circumstances.
This Chinese phrase suggests that a good host will make guests feel like they are returning home or are as comfortable as they would be at their own home.
This is also the Chinese equivalent of, "a home away from home", and is used by Chinese hotels, guest houses, and inns to suggest the level of their hospitality will make you feel at home during your stay.

All of our calligraphy wall scrolls are handmade.
When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.
Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up a week or two for $10!
When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.
The wall scroll that Sandy is holding in this picture is a "large size"
single-character wall scroll.
We also offer custom wall scrolls in small, medium, and an even-larger jumbo size.
Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

Title: Use of fresh clippings from tree trimmers for mulch in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Hi, The tree trimmers are in my neighborhood (east central Austin) to clear the power lines and said I can have a load of free mulch. I am wondering if there is any harm in using the fresh mulch from our neighborhood trees in my flower beds and around our native trees. In particular, how likely is it that something in the mulch could harm my plants or big pecan trees (should I be worried about diseases or harmful/invasive seeds)? Also, we have been organic since we moved here 2 yrs ago -should I worry that local trees might have been sprayed with something nasty this spring that would end up in the mulch? Thanks!
We once had a sweetgum stump ground out of a flower bed in our garden, and the plants, including roses, planted there after that were profuse and vigorous. The soil was soft and loose, and had all that good organic matter in it. On the other hand, this was our own tree, on our own property, and we watched the grinding being done. We knew about herbicide use (we didn't use it), diseases (there weren't any in the old tree) and had only cut it down because of the invasive roots of Liquidambar styraciflua (sweetgum). So, while we had a good experience, your points about the condition of the clippings are well taken.
Our preference would be to compost the whole stack of stuff, adding nitrogen in the form of manure, cottonseed meal, or fresh green material. That would be a big project, taking a lot of space, and probably about two years, but it would remove most of the objections having to do with pesticides or diseases, as a hot enough compost pile will take care of about anything. However, you might be able to compost it in place, as it were, as long as you were conscious that the decomposition of the wood chip material would be taking away nutrients from the soil itself. Adding nitrogen-rich material to the top layer as the lower layer decomposed away would probably alleviate that. Whether something that coarsely ground would be acceptable in flower beds, we couldn't say, but you certainly couldn't put it on when you were expecting seedlings to come up, or plants that were cut back in the Fall to re-emerge, they would be smothered.
Read this article from North Carolina University Mulching Trees and Shrubs, from which we extracted this paragraph:
"Properly composted wood chips can be used as a long lasting mulch that weathers to a silver-gray color. Unfortunately, most wood chip material is sold as a fresh material rather than as a composted or aged material. The chips decompose slowly, but as they decompose, microoorganisms use nutrients from the soil that might otherwise be available for plant growth."

Years ago when I was a little kid, there were not that many bakeries in Chiaing Mai. I used to love this place so much and it was one of my very favorites. Visiting this place always bring me a smile :) Of course, cakes were great!
Charming delicious spot off the beaten path in Chiang Mai. Great for tea time or coffee break. Delicious pies - especially the coconut cream with fresh coconut flakes. Yum!
No less than 40 differnt kinds of pasteries. Found this lovely bakery on our last day in Chiang Mai, by accident. It was close to our Hotel Rimping Village and we were looking for a midday snack. If we would have been in Chiang Mai longer, we definately would have come back to try some more of these wonderful cakes....
Went there for a quick lunch and was perfect.
The menu is really small (mostly sandwiches and cakes) but everything was well made and the staff are friendly and helpfull.
The price are a a bed high (140 for a BLT, about 100 for a piece of cacke, 80 for a shake), but in the overall we were happy and...
Great place for cakes and coffees. Love the beautiful garden and friendly boss - Matty.
Best to visit after tour of Wiang Kum kam ( Old Ancient Underground City ), on way back to town. Tuk Tuk may not know the way, so best to print out the location map. Must try the Lime Pie and Volcano Mud Pie
The bakery is tucked away in a lovely little garden. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. The food was worth the visit.
A cafe in a quaint little garden which is part of the owner's property. Friends told me she had learnt how to bake at Le Cordon Bleu! We counted more than 40 cakes and pies on the menu. The coffee was very good too. It was by sure coincidence that we saw pictures of the owner of Eastin Hotel with...
Visited a couple of weeks ago. The cafe is in a quiet soi with lovely gardens and sitting outside is a pleasure. Seated promptly and orders taken. The drinks (fruit shakes) were lovely especially the coconut but the food was average. Kids had lasagne and fish and chips. Neither particularly enjoyed them. People at the next table were sharing desserts...
LAFB has a lovely garden and is an oasis of tranquility. We had lunch not pastry and it was very good though not cheap by CM standards at 150bht for a main. Well worth it. And their home made ice cream is, er, homemade. The machine is right by the flavour tubs and they let me try quite a few...
We first found this bakery about 6 years ago and have visited it every time we come to Chiang Mai. I can personally recommend the Banana Cream Pie. If searching for the address on Google there is a spelling mistake so search for "Love at Fist Bite". The restaurant is closed on Mondays.

Posted: September 13, 2013SACRAMENTO -- The boater advocacy group Recreational Boaters of California (RBOC) has issued a "Call to Arms" to boaters across the state, asking them to contact their California Assembly members to prevent the taking of funds that are currently mandated for use only in boating-related projects, to pay for non-boating-related flood control.
If it becomes law, California Senate Bill 436 would open the boater-financed state Harbors & Watercraft Revolving Fund for a non-boating purpose: prevention of damage to streets and property within cities caused by beach erosion and flooding, including $1 million for areas located along Hueneme Beach.

Cat Food Reviews
Thank you so much for improving FELIDAE
8/26/2008 – I just want to tell you how much my cat loves the new FELIDAE formula better than the old one. To be honest, I bought the food because I really liked the ingredients and knew it was the best for my cat, but she really didn't eat it that well. Well I thought I would give you one more try before switching brands and OMG my cat "Chloe" won't stop eating the new food. I have to measure her food now or she will over eat. After two months on the new food her coat is better than ever and she just shines with health. Thank you so much for improving FELIDAE Cat and Kitten food.

Wish we had tried FELIDAE years ago
8/25/2008 – Oh boy did we have trouble with our finicky little cats. We have four of them and they are all over 8 years old. For the past six months or so they have been vomiting on and off and their fur looked scruffy. We thought maybe they were just getting older, but took them all in for a checkup at the vet who didn't find anything wrong and suggested that we try a new food. She gave us some brand names to try but the vomiting seemed to get worse. A clerk at the pet store said FELIDAE Platinum was just improved and he'd heard lots of good feedback. We gave it a try and the vomiting stopped. What a relief! All of their coats are starting to look shiny and smooth again. Wish we had tried FELIDAE years ago. Thanks so much for making a quality cat food.

She is back to being her happy, healthy self
7/9/2008 – Thank you for a MIRACLE! A friend who feeds CANIDAE heard that our cat, Taz, had chronic diarrhea which was terrible for her and us humans too. I had tried many food changes using organic and "natural" foods to no avail. We spent hundreds of dollars with the vet and never got a clear diagnosis or improvement. Finally, I took my friend's suggestion. It wasn't easy to get the food in our rural location but your distributor, Cloe's Barkery in El Paso, was so helpful and made arrangements to have it shipped. Then the miracle happened. Within two days of switching to FELIDAE canned and dry food, Taz's two-year long problem went away entirely. It's been nearly three months now and she is back to being her happy, healthy self and our house is a happier place because of it. THANK YOU for saving both Taz and our sanity!

Thank you for your commitment to the health of cats
5/23/2008 – I just wanted to say thank you for making such a wonderful cat food. We have had problems with one of our cats throwing up for the last four years despite having tried a multitude of "special" foods. We learned of FELIDAE through a family member and decided to try it. It is wonderful! Our cat no longer gets sick and her coat is thick and shiny. Our veterinarian saw her yesterday and remarked at how healthy she was. Thank you for your commitment to the health of cats.
It was a miracle
3/4/2008 – My cat, Cricket, developed 'fatty liver' disease this past summer and she had to get a temporary feeding tube to reverse the disease. She had developed anorexia and would not eat on her own. We had to feed her for 2 months with the feeding tube until she would eat on her own. Getting her to eat on her own was nothing but a challenge, not only because she has always been a picky eater, but also because this disease made her feel so bad. She wanted nothing to do with the food she was eating before she got sick, so I got her a lot of samples to try. She was NOT interested in dry food and would only eat baby food for weeks. Finally I found a sample of FELIDAE and it was a miracle. Cricket started eating it on her own. She loved it! She is healthy again and I think her coat looks better than it ever has in 9 years… Thank you FELIDAE for helping my Cricket survive FL disease.
You guys Rock!
11/13/2007 – Hello, I'm writing to you about my boyfriends two cats. Now, this isn't your run-of-the-mill testimonial about skin allergies or sensitive stomach, this is the gross stuff that nobody talks about and everyone has probably dealt with before. Now, I'm NOT a cat person, and when the cats are constantly bringing up the catch of the day from the fields (in some sort of critter form) sans a head or internal organs, it gets pretty disgusting. AND, they would lose their bowels on the floor even though their boxes were sparkling clean. In comes FELIDAE. I feed my dog CANIDAE, so I picked up a bag of the cat stuff. I find this totally unbelievable, but the cats have stopped hunting ever since they have been eating FELIDAE! No more "pieces parts" everywhere! No more loose bowel movements on the floor! AND…their is no odor from the cat boxes. When I mentioned this to the normally Doubting Thomas (the cat owner, his real name is Paul) He actually stepped out of his man mode and fessed up that he thinks that the FELIDAE made the drastic difference. WOW. Anyway, I know this testimonial seems a bit dramatic, but it is absolutely true. No more hunting in the fields and the cat box smells lovely. I feel that this is due to the cats finally getting what they need nutritionally, and we all know that balanced nutrition for animals is not necessarily available at a supermarket near you! Thanks and Bless you for all of your work to make a better product for man's best friends!
They sure do love FELIDAE
7/1/2007 – A special thank you for the winning coupon for a FREE 5 lb. bag of FELIDAE found in the last bag I bought. We now have ten cats that we have rescued and now share our life with their life. As the enclosed picture shows, they sure do love FELIDAE and I thank you for making such a great product and the free bag.
With Much Gratitude,

Your cat food has saved my cats life
6/18/2007 – I've never written to a food company before, or anyone else, but your cat food has saved my cats life, and also made my life so much easier.
My 9 years old cat Tuzi, has had IBS, for 2 years. I won't go into detail on the mess I've been cleaning up after her all these years. We have tried every different food, medication, etc, etc. At $5,000 later with vet bills, I started thinking I need to do something drastic…
A friend of mine told me about your food, for my other kitties. I started feeding it then, and Tuzi started sneaking up stairs for the FELIDAE food (she was eating ZD and ID, which was very costly). I noticed her stools were firmer more and more every day. She is now on FELIDAE, her coat is shiny; she is happy, and healthy.
I'm just writing to THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Their coats seem much softer
2/2/2007 – I just wanted to thank you for a great product. I started feeding my 2 cats FELIDAE about a week and a half ago and the improvement is apparent already.
They had both been throwing up all the time before they started eating your food (which I got a free sample of at the Natural Pet store here in Milwaukee) and one of my cats was having issues with constipation, which in turn led him to poop outside of his litter box quite often–every day I was coming home to cat vomit and/or poop and it was getting stressful – (I'm pregnant with my first child and due any day).
I brought the samples home and my cats went crazy for it–they love it!!! They haven't vomited or pooped outside of the box once since they started eating your food—I hope this continues and if it does you definitely have a lifelong customer!
Thank you,
Julie G
Looks like we may be making a switch
11/17/2006 – I just wanted to compliment you on the FELIDAE dry food. When we moved to Fort Wayne in 2000 we had 2 cats. Of course we moved to an area that was full of stray, dumped kitties. So I have taken in 6 more and I have found homes for many kittens and some of the mama cats too. I have this one old male…named him Groucho, and the name fits. He was eating off my porch (I put food out for the shy ones) and one day he decided to stroll into the house, and he decided to stay! We had him neutered and he gained weight, he is a lovely but grouchy fellow. Recently, he has begun turning his nose up at dry cat food. So I saw the FELIDAE in the pet store and bought it. Gave him a bowl and he went to town! Thank you…
I was concerned that he was getting sick and now I am not. He loves this food and so many of the others. I have 2 males with sensitive stomachs and they are on Science Diet but Elvis was eating the FELIDAE and he hasn't thrown it up yet! Looks like we may be making a switch.
So Thanks again…
You have a new customer!
She loves it….
2006 – One of my cats is a 'rescue', and she lived across the street from me but was almost feral. She wouldn't let anyone near her… the story was that she had been left behind when the people living at the house she stayed near, moved, and she just stayed at that house, but wouldn't let anyone help her. She had lost half of her body fur and was suffering terribly with itching. I spent 6 months taking food to the area she was in and sat patiently waiting for her to show up each evening to eat. She wouldn't let me near, and everyone who saw her thought she was dying and very old. I 'caught' her one night and took her to the best vet in the world, Dr. Tony Rogstad, or "Dr. Tony" as he is known to his hundreds of faithful followers. He took care of her for no money… kept her for three days looking into her eyes, giving her loving baths and diagnosing an allergic skin allergy. He thought she had great potential as a pet, and would be a very appreciative pet. I took her home and started her on the FELIDAE. She has gotten and continues to get special injections for her allergy, but she eats nothing but FELIDAE, dry and wet. She loves it….. Tony can't believe her coat…. and even my neurotic bulimic Siamese can eat it and not 'urp' it up every other day….. thank you for this wonderful product!!!

I Have Been Amazed By It…
2006 – I work with a local cat rescue league. All four of my cats are rescues and during this holiday season I had 7 kittens I was fostering and eventually found new Christmas homes. My friend owns the local feed store and introduced me to your product and I have been amazed by it. My 5 year old female has always vomited after meal time. I have tried all the big names as well as the store brands and FELIDAE is the first cat food that she keeps down. Because FELIDAE is a well rounded option, it's perfect for my household because I don't have to worry about who's eating what.
My Fat Isabo, My Urinary Tract Boy, The various kittens, my little Sophie who was undernourished as a kitten and has bone/cartilage loss and sleek active Gryphon Gargoyle can all eat and benefit from the same bag of cat food. Healthy Coats, bright eyes and active evenings are all signs of great nutrition!
I thank you and appreciate this excellent product.

Rare George Harrison Rickenbacker Guitar To Be Auctioned Off
A 1962 Rickenbacker 425, owned by George Harrison and believed to be the guitar he used on 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' will go up for sale this week.
A 1962 Rickenbacker 425, owned by George Harrison and believed to be the guitar he used on 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' will go up for sale this week.
The late Beatle's second solo effort was his most experimental, his worst-selling, and one of his more controversial albums. Yet, it opened the door for something important.
Feb. 20, 1979 was a celebratory day for loyal Beatles fans, nearly a decade beyond the group's dissolution, because it signaled the release of George Harrison's first album in more than two years.
According to correspondence recently unearthed by the U.K.'s Daily Mail, long-simmering resentments between former Beatles may have prompted George Harrison to turn down a distinguished award from the royal family before his death.
George Harrison rarely gave his son advice. "The only two things he felt I had to do in my life were be happy and meditate," Dhani Harrison once told Rolling Stone about his late father.
Celebrating its 11th anniversary this week is George Harrison's understated and deeply beautiful 'Brainwashed,' the famed guitarist and former Beatle's eleventh -- and, tragically, final -- studio album.
With the release of 'Wonderwall Music' in November 1968, George Harrison was the first Beatle to step into the spotlight on his own. Recording sessions actually began a year earlier -- when the Beatles were recording their annual Christmas message -- with 'India' and 'Swordfencing,' both working titles that would be changed before release.
The Gap's new ad campaign is all about going back to your roots, so it's only fitting that for a pair of new ads, they sent two young musicians back to their own.
With nearly 56 percent of the vote, George Harrison becomes the first double inductee into the Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame.
More than four decades after the sessions for the album, a previously unheard George Harrison guitar solo for the Beatles' 'Abbey Road' classic 'Here Comes the Sun' has been discovered — and not only can you hear it, you can see video of the track being heard for the first time by George's son Dhani, producer George Martin's son Giles, and George Martin himself, who admits he'd forgotten the solo even existed.

When it comes to watching baseball, I'm a traditionalist. I believe the sport should be viewed as God intended; relaxing in a stadium chair with a hot dog in one hand and a cold beer in the other. Whenever possible, I prefer to watch the Angels play at the Big A. But sometimes, I'm forced to find other options.
During the recent Angels road trip, I watched the game at one of my favorite summer spots, the Deck Restaurant on the sand in Laguna Beach. My Afternoon Angels buddies and I may not have had the same experience as the fans who were watching the game in person; enduring the high humidity and torrential rains of Chicago. But with gentle ocean breezes and fruity cocktails, we still managed to cheer from afar.
PHOTOS: Favorite places to watch the Angels
The menu may have been a little different too; instead of peanuts we munched on the spicy ahi and crab stack and a heavenly plate of mahi tacos. But we were still able to watch every pitch courtesy of The Deck's flatscreen. Unfortunately, the game on the TV wasn't nearly as picturesque as the sunset.
Southern California baseball fans have a bad reputation. They say we're soft, sushi-eating, sun worshippers who would rather go to the beach than root for our team.
I beg to differ.
Angels fans aren't fickle; we just have an embarrassment of riches when deciding where to watch our team. Besides the tried and true sports bars, Halo fans follow the team in all sorts of places; in restaurants and on rooftops, while sipping wine or shopping for shoes.
In Southern California, Angels baseball is everywhere.
What's your favorite spot to watch the Angels when you can't see them at the Big A?

Sun-Scorched Phoenix Takes More Heart for Its Homeless
Bowers, Faye, The Christian Science Monitor
Bottles of water don't last long these days at the Lodestar Day Resource Center in downtown Phoenix. One homeless person after another grabs an ice-cold bottle, untwists the cap, and drains it in an instant.
"That's so good," says Nicholas Travis, who is living at a nearby shelter while working to get his life back on track after a stint in jail. "They keep us well stocked."
Water is a precious commodity in Arizona generally, but for the homeless, access to it can become a matter of life or death. With much of the West sizzling - temperatures in Phoenix have climbed above 110 degrees F. for 12 straight days, the third-longest such heat wave in state history - people living on the street are at just as much risk from exposure to the elements as they are in the Northeast during the harsh blasts of winter.
"Living outside, whether summertime or wintertime, is both dangerous and life-threatening to the homeless," says Michael Stoops, acting director of the National Coalition for the Homeless in Washington. "Phoenix," he adds, "has had a sorry history in dealing with the issue."
That's changing, say experts in Arizona. After 30 homeless people died during a similar hot streak in 2005, officials and faith-based groups in the Phoenix area redoubled efforts to coordinate services for the homeless, ensuring that they have access to shelter, water, and food during the most dangerous times of day.
"The community responded," says Jacki Taylor of the Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness. "And not just in Phoenix. There's been a statewide effort to reach out and help care for our men, women, and children on the streets."
In 2006 - the year the National Coalition for the Homeless designated Phoenix as the 17th meanest city in the US (out of 200) for how it treats the homeless - about 7,300 homeless people lived in the metro area, according to Ms. Taylor's group. The number statewide was 14,960.
Phoenix has added hydration stations and "low-demand centers" for women, men, and families, says Taylor. These large, cooled rooms have cots or mats on the floor to temporarily house people who can't find spots in permanent shelters.
The United Methodist Outreach Ministry (UMOM), which runs the centers for women and families, is full this summer. Calls from families seeking shelter have roughly doubled since the heat wave struck, says Nichole Churchill, community relations manager for UMOM. …

The Disciple (MP3 CD)
Special Order
Iran is much closer to having operational nuclear weapons than the CIA believes, and Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has a plan. With twelve nuclear warheads mounted on twelve missiles, he will make Iran a martyr nation; then he will lead the world's Muslims in a holy war against the nonbelievers. However, the Americans have a secret weapon in a group of Iranian dissidents, including a brother and sister determined to avenge the death of their beloved grandfather at the hands of the religious police. They are funneling information to Tommy Carmellini. They want to stop the attack before their leader launches a new world war. Will the U.S. government believe the information they are providing, and can the Americans prevent the Israelis from taking matters into their own hands, which could prove disastrous?

Last Day, excursion to Gozo
... to the ticket counter. She asked us to wait, while she sorted the tickets. We had to wait for about 20 minutes for the departing ferry. Whilst we were the first in the queue for the ferry it very quickly filled up. When the gates opened to enter the ship there was a mad rush, we had been told earlier that the Maltese 'don't queue' something that we had experienced on many occasions whilst on our hols. The guide wasn't very clear at this point saying only find her when ...
The Next Chapter
... experience came from when the lovely waitress brought over a wheeled cart with fish and lobster sat on, LIVE fish and lobster – the lobster especially freaking the pair of us out! All I could think while sat wide eyed staring at this odd cart of live sea life was how I felt so sorry for the poor bloody lobster – I decided to spare his life and go for the beef steak instead (fortunately they opted against herding a live cow out prior to our starter). ...
Valetta, Malta
Docked on this tiny island nation this am. Its only 26km long and 12km wide with 400,000 people. It has been a major destination for thousands of years as it is centrally located in the Med. Pretty much all conquering empires have claimed it. In the late 1500's when the turks invaded Rhodes, the Knights fled Rhodes and settled on Malta! To protect themselves from pirates they built massive stone walls around the city ...
Magick & Joy on Gozo
... like a womb, for me a place of nuturing & connection with Mother Earth. After watching it for a little while I realised that was were I was meant to perform ceremony. I would watch people get so far & then for some reason turn around. I knew I would have the privacy I desired. I made my way up the beautiful well worn steps & up to a gate. I started to get nervous as I looked down into a spiraling staircase. It was that feeling of not knowing. Every ...
My farewell Scribble Party
... looked great!
I quickly decorated the house, and then decorated myself. I was making some pasta for dinner as people started to gradually arrive. It was a fantastic night full of inappropriate scribbling, laughing, pool and darts, climbing copious amounts of stairs, opening my bedroom door to interesting sights, cooking spring rolls, dancing and playing with sparklers. Some people gradually left, but the rest of us kept going until the sun ...
