Just had a look at your (up-to-date?) website : Do you still have that copy of There's Something About Mary on sale for $50 ?

That is just an OS Commerce site giving as an example of what I can do for you (not necessarily you).
Unfortunately, I don't have any of the things offered on the sample site. It is just a sample.
Having said that I could direct you to where you could get a copy. Send me an email and I will respond.

i consider myself a cat person. Regardless of that my cat would never reach the point to "attack" any member of my family or friends for that matter, just a matter of how you educate your pets.
And yes you can train cats, easily.
Hmm i wonder why its doing that......ARGHS NO STOP, ROLLBACK ROLLBACK...F*** That's how i learned to "Always Backup"!!
Dogs are man's best Friend,
Cats are man's adorable little serial killer

Yeah, that's what all of them told the police.

The guy might need to 'turn in his man card', but he also needs to turn in his pet owner card. Any animal, cat, dog, turkey buzzard, or whatever will react violently if stressed sufficiently. It's obvious from the cat's behavior that it's been subjected to the wrong environment and poor treatment for an extended period. I doubt that it is recoverable without extraordinary efforts at this point. The most merciful thing (and the safest for his family) would be to euthanize it.
I f***ing hate stories like this. Why do people acquire pets that they can't give the proper care? It's always the same. The animal is at fault, the police shoot it in front of the kids (nice picture in their heads, there), and everyone stands around looking sorry and wonders what went wrong.

I agree.
I'm always amazed at how poor people (that I've seen) have a tendency to buy really expensive and dangerous breeds of animals only to keep said animal chained on a 10ft. leash in the back yard. I've a neighbor who is doing this right now - she thinks screaming obscenities at the animal is 'training' it.

I was watching the local news today on the TV in our fitness room at work. They showed a story about a woman's dog that had been shot during the night, presumably because it barked too much. The dog was a pure-bred Husky kept in a 6ft by 6ft cage, in a yard that was maybe 15 ft by 30 ft. You could tell from the video that the cage was filthy. The yard had no grass, and there were visible depressions where the dog paced.

Let's see, how would this go in my house?
1) cat scratches baby...
2) all children/wife screaming...
3) I check my man card, yes, this is not permissible...
4) loud click as something gets loaded...
5) cat hissing loudly, threatening to scratch more... aim...
6) more screaming, "What are you doing? Don't shoot the kitty!!! What kind of person are you?"
You need therapy!!!
Girls start petting the cat giving me venomous looks...

Just read a comment on The Times website regarding this and it says.
"Quote: Nigel Brodrick-Barker 52 minutes ago
@Peter Jordan
Is it remotely possible, Peter, that a lightweight aircraft, built of composite materials and flying at great altitude, could exit the gravitational pull of the Earth?
Might this lost plane actually be in orbit?
Can anyone explain to me why this is guff?
|

Because the top speed of a Boeing 777 is 950km/h, and the escape velocity you need to escape the pull of the earth gravity is 11.2 km/s or ~40,000 km/h.

But surely, if it flies in a straight line rather than following the curvature of the earth ...

Curve? What curve? The Earth is flat - ask DD!

You don't see the words 'flat' and 'DD' in the same sentence very often.

Escape velocity assumes unpowered.
The 777 is powered, so velocity is immaterial.
There's lots of other reasons a 777 can't get into orbit, but being unable to reach a particular velocity isn't one of them.
Otherwise it wouldn't be possible to put up a really, really long ladder and climb into space - which it patently is.

If escaping earth's gravity was so easy and could happen unintentionally, do you think NASA would have spent billions of dollars to build high power rockets to launch its space shuttles?

Um. They didn't, it's an urban myth.
An ordinary Biro works fine in space since it uses capillary action to add ink to the ball. Pencils are not allowed in space, because the fragments that break off (in use and when you sharpen them) are both sharp (and thus rather uncomfortable to get your eyes for example) and highly conductive - with is a bad thing to have floating around in an area full of electrical equipment...
