I hav ea little 9 week old kitten named Bitterman who I loooove to death. When i got him at 6 weeks old his owners were feeding him meow mix for kittens( eww!) cuz they had 16 cat sand couldnt feed them all high quality stuff. I immediatley switched him over to Nutro natural choice kitten food which comes in pouches. Then i wanted to switch him to Wellness, which i did, but i have to drive sooo far out of th eway to get it when theres a petsmart 2 miles from my house. so I switched him back to Nutro natural choice for kittens and have now started adding blue buffalo dry food (spa select kitten food w/ the little life source bits in it which my kitten loves! and i use as treats)…anyways the question is is this a decent quality diet for my kitten or is it waaaaay worse than the wellness diet? I know it sounds like i switched his food alot but he has done fine no pooping problems or anything…hes a really hearty lil fellow. I just want him to be healthy without breaking the bank on gas…what do u think?
Nutro natural choice (wet) and blue bufaalo(dry), good mix?
In a video interview posted to You Tube yesterday, Southers states the the government and the TSA has to “pay attention” not to Muslim terrorists but to “anti-government, anti-abortion, survivalist types” who are “christian identity oriented,”
it is bad to be a survivor? or have a survivor mentality? and Southers is up to be the head of the TSA. Now I don’t think you should be anti-government but you do have a right to be anti-policy or disagree with some actions of govt. or some people in govt. and you have a vote that counts so vote em out!
and who the heck cares if you are anti-abortion.? Does that make you a bad person in and of itself?
now granted you will have your select few loons of all sorts christian, atheists, anyone, but that shouldn’t give you a right generalise all. there are bad apples on every tree.
And he said not to have tsa(people responsible for your transportation security)”pay attention” to “Muslim terrorists” WHAT?????? UMMM I think we should be paying attention to known terroists. Not paying attention is what allowed that last guy be able to board that plane at Amsterdam.
Sounds like a great plan Southers! What a MORON!!!!! is there anyone “paying attention” those within our govt that are ANTI-AMERICAN?????
Also has there been a “high ranking” Islamic leader that has stepped up and openly condemned terrorist actions against the world? One that would oversee a “mega mosque” or like the equivelant to a Catholic Pope or Cardinal or Arch Bishop? source?www.thereligionofpeace.com
ok several q’s in one but can anyone clear these up because I don’t see the logic…?
I’m doing a project for school, and need a person-to-person/first-hand source for it. Answer the question above if it applies. OR, I’m probably going to combine what I get here into sort of a survey.

Anyone have a personal story/opinion with the WWF (Worldwide Fund for Nature)?

Do some people start out life truly “gay” or “straight” or even “Bi” or “A” sexually orientated and later their sexual orientation changes? or are you genetically predisposed for one of those four options from birth?
If it’s fluid? was it ever genetic?

On topic comments with sources and/or links are greatly appreciated.
Unwarranted cries of “Homo-phobia” not so much. Peace; DD.

I bought a used Kasparov Blade Chess Computer and the playfield (where the pieces are) must have a stuck switch or something. When the computer turns on, it says “White to play…Illegal move”. I opened it up and disconnected the playfield connector and it starts up with no problem. Once I connect the playfield again, it says the error again.
My question is: Does anyone know of a website where I can get more information on how to diagnose the playfield. Perhaps there is a diagnostic procedure to test the playfield. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. I am well versed in Electronic repair and I am sure I can repair it. I just need to be steered to a source of information. Thanks in advance.
p.s. – I didn’t know exactly what category to put this question into. Sorry if it is not in the correct one.

What for me a difference that I have wondered about for some time now is when Im sitting in meditation and I often find myself wondering if and how long I should sit in silence focusing on my breath and when or if I should try to summon strength, power and guidance from the spirit realm…..angels, spirits, Holy Spirit, Etc)
I have had some unique manifestations on rare occasions where you know there’s a presence there in the room with you, but you can’t actually see it. So, if angels for example really exist and they are there to help, that seems a direct and powerful way to get help and guidance for your life. I also know that the mere faith in such helpful beings brings joy and hope with struggles in life although my faith in their power to help shifts from day to day and moment to moment.
So, to sit in silence or focus on help and guidance from external sources? Keep in mind that extra-dimensional beings (angels etc) can be said to be in and out of you at the same time.
What do you think about all this? Also, aren’t ether angelic beings in Buddhism? Bodhisattvas?
Buddhism & Christianity…Meditation v. Prayer?
Something I’ve found interesting lately is that from news sources and internet stories cigarette laws seem to be tightening and marijuana laws seem to be loosening. For instance, around my area, it has been announced that you now cannot smoke outside of a hospital. There is no tobacco allowed at all. Same for all restaurants, some clubs, etc, etc. Now, I keep reading about marijuana dispensaries now becoming popular in many towns and such. Although most of them do seem to be strictly “medical”, I find it hard to believe only people who are prescribed this are using it. I feel that people are taking advantage of it. Not to mention that once it is accepted as legal one way (medically) it only paves the way for it to become mainstream legal for everyone. Personally I don’t enjoy being around someone stoned. I could only imagine going out and seeing more people that way. I know it sounds dramatic but it hurts me to think people must use it to be happy/feel well. Not to mention the effects these dispensaries may have on the towns/neighborhoods – crime, more drug use, etc. I thought the reason behind cigarette laws was for health reasons. Interesting enough, marijuana smoke is still carcinogenic. It does have detrimental effects to ones health. So why a doctor in their right mind would ever prescribe this to someone already ill makes no sense to me. You don’t see a doctor telling people to go smoke cigarettes to ease there tension at work. Opinions?
Cigarette laws tightening but marijuana laws loosening? Make sense?
