VCA Animal Hospitals announced today that local SOUTHERN California VCA
facilities are offering free boarding for companion animals whose families
have been evacuated or displaced as a result of the current firestorms.
Conveniently located VCA animal hospitals will provide a safe environment
for pets that have been affected by the fires through November 5, 2007, on a
space available basis.

As thousands of families are being evacuated to shelters or facing the loss
of their homes, VCA hopes to ease their burden by offering free boarding for
pets so they can focus on the critical issues with their families and homes,
said Art Antin, Chief Operating Officer of VCA Animal Hospitals.

Boarding assistance for pets is based on space availability at individual
VCA Animal Hospitals throughout Southern California.

We all need a little variety in our workouts. In fact, an excessively repetitive workout program is a major cause of fitness burnout.If you're looking to mix things up a little bit, try one of these 30-minute options created by SparkPeople Coach Joe D. They should each be preceded and followed by at least a little stretching and warm up. The only equipment you'll need for most of these exercises are small dumbbells, an inflatable stability ball or resistance bands. Many are simple "body weight" exercises with no need for equipment at all.Click here to see all six 30-minute workouts. Read Entire Article

Beware of the scams going on. Never cash a money order and send partial of it back. That great big order may look very enticing but think about what happens two or three weeks later. The money order comes back as fraudulent, your bank takes the money back out of your account leavintg you with overdrafts and you're out the product that you were shipped. See http://www.fakechecks.org for more varieties of the scam.
