This product really works. If your cat is scratching up furniture or rugs you need to buy this product. They sell them at both Petsmart and Petco. However I have had better luck buying the refills at Petsmart in Huntersville, NC. First determine if you cat is a horizontal or vertical scratcher. Basically if you cat is scratching furniture he/she is a vertical scratcher and you will want to hang the iScratch from a door knob. If he/she is scratching a rug then its a horizontal scratcher and all you need to do is buy the iScratcher and place it on the floor. The product and refills also come with catnip that you place in the cardboard. I recommend the cardboard fills it makes your cat think its bark from a tree.

Are you looking for a new position/job but are having difficulties getting the interview?

Well let me tell you I have been dealing with a lot of different contracting companies and they say they have positions but wheres the interview? I am hear to tell you that the positions that they have are not even approved. Why are they advertising a position then you ask? Well I also found out that they will reach out to their contact and if that contact tells them well I should have a position coming in a couple of months they will start getting the details and posting for it even when the position has not been approved and right now I would say for the financial institutions most of those position are getting denied.

Free Software -- Is it Worth It? Yes!!!
Do you find yourself needed Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but do not want to spend the money for it? Is there a substitute and will I be able to open my current word documents. The answers are all yes!! What about anti virus? Or pc cleaning software? Yes and yes.

The OpenOffice Suite located at http://www.openoffice.org/ is free and is a substitute to Office. Will there be growing pains. Sure like any new product or version there will be some glitches or annoyances. Most of these will be due to the fact you are a newbie with the product. I give this free suite 5 stars.

Updating PHP to version 5.2 on CentOS

To install PHP 5.2.5 (Highest in repository at this time) you can make use of a RPM repository maintained by Remi. He has a repository for each distro, but to save you translating for the ES5 one I’ll give you the commands here. Run the following to get up and running:

wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...5-2.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/el5.i3...emi.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm

You now have the Remi repository on your system, however it is disabled by default. Obviously you don’t want all of your packages been effected by this repository, however to enable it for a specific package, run the following:

yum --enablerepo=remi update php

If you were like me I have been looking at throwing steel-tip darts in the Charlotte area and had trouble locating places to play with some competition. I had been throwing darts since Dec. 2007 at the Flying Saucer in the university area. They have two dart boards but the format is just challenge the board, nothing formal.

Okay enough about that let talk about the formal places.

Keeping Dogs Out - I love dogs its the owners that need to learn respect.

Article from http://www.stretcher.com/stories/03/03jul14a.cfm

I'm looking for something that I can spray or sprinkler on my front lawn that will repel the neighborhood dogs. I have a lot of burned circles from the urine of one particular female dog and apparently her "marking" my lawn as her latrine is attracting other dogs to urinate and defecate there as well.

1. Garage Sale - Whether you attend one or host one its a good way to sell products laying around the house. If you're you can find some great deals. Sometimes you can find new to like new products.

2. Quit or cut back on Smoking. You can save a lot of money by quitting and it would be a healthy move too.

3. If I mention smoking I must mention Drinking Less. Look for an inexpensive beer or wine. Maybe an off brand liquor.

Cable and Satellite providers are trying to sell their expensive plans with contracts. Here is what you need to know when they switch from analog to digital on February 17th 2009.

I wanted to share some of my success that I had while fishing off a dock in Nokomis FL. On Monday 12/22/2008 I caught 2 Jacks, 2 Snook, and 1 small baracuda off Gotcha Plugs by Seastriker. On Tuesday 12/23/2008 I caught 2 snook and 2 Jacks. On Wed. 12/24/2008 it slowed down and I caught 1 Jack. On Thursday 12/25/2008 I think I caught a grouper. I will post a picture to see if anyone can identify it. I caught this off a pinfish (live). Everything else was off the Gotcha Plug by Seastriker. Plug size was 7/8 gold orange head and 1 oz white with orange head. I caught most off the gold one. I used the 7/8 becasue of the oyster beds. I banged up the head of the Gotcha's but they still worked with perfection.

If your like most folks you need additional wireless coverage in your basement or bonus room or some other room in your home. This also works for areas like your TV where you might not have a network cable run. You can hook up your PS3, slingbox, locationfree to this device via a network wire and let the bridge that we create send the data via wireless.
I can save you money by not having to buy one of those expensive devices they call a bridge. Follow these simple steps and you will be on your way to an inexpensive wireless solution.

Logitech Harmony 550 Universal Remote

This remote is awesome. I received it for Xmas and this is the easiest remote ever. You connect the remote to your pc and it downloads the codes from your TV, VCR, DVD, Satellite, and A/V Receiver. Now when I want to watch TV I press the TV button and only what needs to come on turns on. Awesome remote.
