Nothing Ralph Lauren Outlet about computers
Early this year a water pipe broke outside my apartment.This resulted in some of the concrete being broken up, so they could dig a hole and fix the pipes.But they didn't replace the concrete.

Recently they put some sand, then put some loose dirt on top of that.Now every cat in the neighborhood is using this spot as a public toilet!I wish i could catch one in the act.I'd gladly get some sheit on my boot for the chance to kick a cat across the parking lot.But what i really want to do is put out some antifreeze in a tuna fish can and.Well some of you know what will happen.Is this just evil of me or what?

Ok there is one fact that i did not discuss yet.The majority of these cats are completely feral(As in wild, no owner, types)That Feed out of the dumpster, which is just across the parking lot.In the past i've even called the spca because they would have fights in the middle of the night right outside my apartment.The spca refused to do anything they suggested that i"Feed"Them!

Now i don't want to kill someone's sweet little kitty.But these cats, the ones that i can see occasionally, don't qualify as that at all.They're street cats with scars from fights, chunks of ear, and tips of tails missing, and they are covered with flees and ticks.My preferred method of"Disposal"Might be"Target practice".However, discharging a firearm in the city limits is illegal, and i don't even own a gun anymore.

In the same fashion, it's technically"Illegal"For me to modify the landlord's property without their Louis Vuitton Bags uk permission.So the 3am quickcrete action might get me in trouble as well.

This leaves me with the basic two choices:Find some way to keep the cats away, or apply enough pressure to the management to force them into action.Legally speaking this situation could eventually constitute"Constructive eviction"And would allow me to move out without paying penalties for breaking my lease.The biggest problem with that is that i can't afford to move atm, even though almost any other apartment complex would be appealing atm.

I will continue to try and persuade the manager.But people, being what we are, don't like it when someone else forces us to do anything!And in the mean time i will try my best to tolerate the stench of cat poop outside my door, at least a little longer.I guess i was hoping someone might know of some other way of getting cats to stay away.

As much fun as any one of us could have with giving you a lot of grief about your problem, it does sound like you do have a real problem on your hands and that nobody has or will do anything about it.I would write a letter to your local government and express to them your situation and provide them details of who you spoke to at spca, when and how many times as well as how many times you've spoken with the apartment's manager.Sometimes all it takes is pushing the button of the right person to get some action.

Case in point, several years ago i purchased a computer from an add in a computer magazine that by all accounts looked really good.When i got it, the thing was junk and i do mean junk.I made every attempt to make contact with the manufacturer, keeping records of every call and email, but they chose to ignore me, so i wrote to the attorney general's office and the better business bureau.I provided a phone record and a copy of every email i sent along with a detailed letter identifying every problem with the computer itself.Within a week i had the arkansas attorney general's office in a three way call to the vp of the computer manufacturer and received a full refund as well as a refund for all shipping and handling.Lesson learned on my part!

It sounds like you are miserable about this, so i would do myself a favor and take it to the next level.Good luck!

Yeah!You're right!I talked to my neighbor and she will help me gather signatures on a petition, regarding the feral cats.Not more than 1 hr ago some of my other neighbors spotted one of the cats that was foaming at the mouth and staggering around(Sounded like rabies to me).We called animal control and reported it.I've also contacted the landlord/tennant relations board, and am preparing a letter stating my grievances.Then after my neighbor and i have collected at least 30 signatures, from our part of the apartment complex, i'll take that and letters from myself and my neighbor to the board.

Also i don't mind folks giving me a hard time.I was feeling guilty that i could even consider poisoning these creatures, irregardless of how much i detest the odor of cat feces.I guess i just needed someone to tell me to stop!Being a putz and do something constructive.Thanks!

Take the problem to the other end of the thought here.Dump a big bag of catnip into the hole and sand.In no time, the cats will dig the hole out down to the pipe.The apartment manager will then have to do something about those crasy cats making a mess.

Animal control has in fact come in and removed most of the cats.To be precise, just as topher predicted, the animal control officer confirmed that they would all be euthanized because some of them were obviously rabid, and their prospects for adoption were about nill anyway.So the positive side, from my perspective, is that these animals won't die from kidney failure.No wait!I don't know exactly how they put animals like this to"Sleep".Well i guess their end will at least be swifter, and less painfull, than antifreeze induced kidney failure.They probably use some form of sedative, with whatever chemical actually kills them.

On monday i will take my grievances to the landlord/tennant relations board and schedule a hearing.See i don't intend to leave this"Area"Without cement.And the manager is going to do it, whether she wants to or not!
Wheeling Phone Guyu Roams Oakland

Don't miss:Paula deen dropped as spokeswoman'family ties' creator diesgastropub trend arrivesasian box coming herecannabis cup winners19990326 04:00:00 PDT EAST BAY In this wired and hightech world where speed could well be our most valued commodity, Oakland resident operates his oneman telephone wiring business on a bicycle.Using cargo buckets, a bicycle trailer and a commendable display of human propulsion, van tress still manages to arrive for work on time.

Van tress sees himself as a sand wich board on wheels promoting not just his business, but also advancing the cause of carless transportation. "The direction i'm try ing to take with my business is that, although the bike is certainly a great recreational toy for the weekends and can be used for commuting, it can also be used to run a small business,"Van tress said.

"I thought it was quirky, but wonderful,"Said, a berkeley landlord and social worker. "He's very efficient;He lugs all that stuff around and always has what he needs. "

"He's on a bicycle, the phone company's got vans.And alan's the one who shows up on schedule,"Said forman, who hires van tress to wire his rental units in emeryville and berkeley.

Van tress, who worked for pacific bell before at 1984 divestiture, installs residential telephone wiring in homes and apartment buildings in the east bay, from el cerrito to san leandro.

"People are surprised that i serve such a large territory,"Van tress said, explaining that for longer commutes outside the north oakland/berkeley vicinity, he combines the bike with bart.

Using public transit, which he emphatically endorses, makes his business more viable, he said.

"If you were limited to a territory where you could just bike to, you might Pandora Charms UK have a problem making a living. "

But van tress isn't fazed by suggestions that an automobile might help increase business by enlarging his workload. "I'm finding this a very viable form of business,"He said. "I don't feel i'm sacrificing income because i'm bicyclebased. "

Van tress argues that the bicycle doesn't necessarily cut down on revenue or number of appointments in a day, because he has less overhead and fewer traffic snarls to sit through.

"When i look at traffic at certain times of the day, actually, a lot of my territory is more accessible through bart and bike than the freeway,"Van tress said.

"I think having a bicyclebased business really challenges the notion that cars are a more efficient way of doing business because of the traffic problem in the bay area.The freeways and roads will just be getting that much more crowded over the next decade.The projections are pretty horrendous. "

But van tress more philosopher than businessman, more prone to dissect cultural beliefs than spreadsheets is driven by motives other than profit.

"I would also suggest that there is value to my business beyond its income,"He said. "I'm looking at all the things we need in order to be happy in life.If one were to quantify an ideal business or ideal life, it would be to make enough money to survive and to take care of your health.I'm combining them. "

Van tress commutes on a loadbearing mountain bike, which he's modified with thinner tires and racks for its new role as urban road/work bike.He uses four cargo buckets in the same configuration used in long distance bike touring two in front and two in back and pulls a trailer for bigger loads.

Always on the lookout for appropriate and versatile tools, van tress' latest find is a"Miracle"Lightweight ladder that collapses from 12 to three feet.He uses river rafting dry bags to protect large boxes of wire from the elements.

But the workhorse of all his finds is the cargo bucket, which, as it turns out, isn't just any bucket.It's called an oyster bucket bicycle pannier, or saddlebag, and was designed by of cobbworks in olympia, wash.Made from recycled materials, it's lightweight, sturdy and watertight all advantageous for hauling tools and wiring in loads weighing close to 100 pounds.

Van tress said the buckets, designed to fit standard bike racks, are unique. "When i'm on bart, people ask about them constantly,"He said. "An electrician stopped me in golden gate park,"He said. "He wanted to find out about my buckets.He said he didn't always need to drive to the job site, he just needed to take his tools. "Most americans aren't accustomed to cargo bikes, which are used widely in other parts of the world.

But bay area residents aren't ones to shy away from novelty or departures from the norm. "People stop me in their cars and on the street and ask for my phone number,"Van tress says. "The bicycle, particularly when i use the trailer, attracts attention.People look at me as sort of a unique business. "

Van tress isn't just shifting gears until he can acquire a work truck.The bike is his vehicle of choice.He doesn't own a car and has long been a proponent of bicycle power.For two years, van tress was a member of berkeley's pedal express, a cooperatively run business and the only nonmotorized cargo delivery service in the bay area.

Van tress is admittedly less active in transportation politics than in the past, but he sees his role now as doortodoor educator, and to advance his business practices as a prototype of his vision.Or, you might say, he's trying to reach out and touch a few people especially those who drive cars.
