A big day at PetSmart getting refills for the litter boxes. We use a combo of World’s Best and Yesterdays News. The World’s Best is expensive corn kernals but it lasts a long, long time. Some of the group really likes the Yesterday’s News so I have 2 litter boxes with that in them that I change weekly.

Lucky cats, eh!

Man is God.
He is everywhere, he is anybody, he knows everything.
This is the Prometeus new world.
All started with the Media Revolution, with Internet, at the end of the last century.
Everything related to the old media vanished: Gutenberg, the
copyright, the radio, the television, the publicity.
The old world reacts: more restrictions for the copyright, new laws against non authorized copies. Napster, the music peer to peer company is sued.
At the same time, free internet radio appears;
TIVO, the internet television, allows to avoid publicity; the Wall Street Journal goes on line; Google launches Google news.
Millions of people read daily the biggest on line newspaper. Ohmynews written by thousands of journalists; Flickr becomes the biggest repository in the history of photos, YouTube for movies.
The power of the masses.
A new figure emerges: the prosumer, a producer and a consumer of information. Anyone can be a prosumer.
The news channels become available on Internet.
The blogs become more influential than the old media.
The newspapers are released for free.
Wikipedia is the most complete encyclopedia ever.
In 2007 Life magazine closes.
The NYT sells its television and declares that the future is digital. BBC follows.
In the main cities of the world people are connected for free.
At the corners of the streets totems print pages from blogs and digital magazines.
The virtual worlds are common places on the Internet for millions of people.
A person can have multiple on line identities.
Second Life launches the vocal avatar.
The old media fight back.
A tax is added on any screen; newspapers, radios and televisions are financed by the State; illegal download from the web is punished with years of jail.
Around 2011 the tipping point is reached: the publicity investments are done on the Net. The electronic paper is a mass product: anyone can read anything on plastic paper.
In 2015 newspapers and broadcasting television disappear, digital terrestrial is abandoned, the radio goes on the Internet.
The media arena is less and less populated. Only the Tyrannosaurus Rex survives. The Net includes and unifies all the content. Google buys Microsoft. Amazon buys Yahoo! and become the world universal content leaders with BBC, CNN and CCTV.
The concept of static information - books, articles, images - changes and is transformed into knowledge flow.
The publicity is chosen by the content creators, by the authors and becomes information, comparison, experience.
In 2020 Lawrence Lessig, the author of ‘Free Culture’, is the new US Secretary of Justice and declares the copyright illegal.
Devices that replicate the five senses are available in the virtual worlds. The reality could be replicated in Second Life.
Any one has an Agav (agent-avatar) that finds information, people, places in the virtual worlds.
In 2022 Google launches Prometeus, the Agav standard interface.
Amazon creates Place, a company that replicates reality. You can be on Mars, at the battle of Waterloo, at the Super Bowl as a person. It’s real.
In 2027 Second Life evolves into Spirit. People become who they want.
And share the memory. The experiences. The feelings. Memory selling becomes a normal trading.
In 2050 Prometeus buys Place and Spirit. Virtual life is the biggest market on the planet. Prometeus finances all the space missions to find new worlds for its customers: the terrestrial avatar.
Experience is the new reality.

The process of purchasing products o services from the Internet is commonly referred to as online shopping. All the businesses nowadays whether they have a real shop are having the shopping outlet.

“1934 Ford Build” ” Streetbeasts Replica Car”

The United States are rightly famed the world over for their incredible smorgasbord of natural wonders and the motorhome enthusiast is truly spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a scenic destination. Trying to choose the ultimate top five would have nature lovers arguing till the cows come home. So instead, let’s play it safe and just pick out five destinations that might be in contention for the title ‘America’s Greatest Natural Wonder’.

1. Niagra Falls

Part of the border between the US and its northern neighbour Canada, the world-famous Niagra Falls take some beating when it comes to jaw-dropping natural beauty. A favourite with honeymooners and daredevils (who still occasionally plummet over the falls in some inappropriate craft or barrel), Niagra Falls formed at the end of last Ice Age and is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world, dumping around six million cubic feet of water over the edge every minute.

2. Death Valley National Park

Death Valley National Park is a land of extremes: extreme heat, extreme geography and extremely stunning vistas. While most famous for the eponymous Death Valley, one of the driest desert environments on the North American continent, the National Park also boast snow-capped peaks and is home to the native American Timbisha Shoshone people.

3. The Grand Canyon

Carved out of the desert by the Colorado River over millions of years, the Grand Canyon can be seen from space and is arguably the greatest natural wonder on the planet. Nearly two billion years of earth history have been exposed by the eroding action of the river, and the sedimentary strata and rock formations that are visible on the canyon walls are a geologist’s dream come true. Park up your Winnebago at the top of the canyon and marvel at its scale. Then hitch a ride on a sure-footed donkey to plunge into the canyon and see it up close.

4. Mount McKinley

With an elevation of approximately 20,320 feet (6,194m), Mount McKinley is the highest peak in North America and is the centrepiece of Denali National Park in Alaska. The best time to visit by motorhome is definitely in the spring or summer months, when you’re less likely to come a cropper in a snow drift. Temperatures as low as -73 C have been recorded on the mountain in winter.

5. Redwood National and State Parks

Located on the northern coast of California, this stunning national park has preserved an area of virgin redwood forest of a kind that once covered vast swathes of the West Coast. Clear-cut logging devastated much of it, but thankfully this section survives. Only around four percent of old-growth redwood forest remains, and the trees are enormous measuring in at over 100m. The area is fairly inaccessible however. Do your research and ensure you have a berth for your motorhome booked before venturing into the region.

Promotional giveaways can work their magic on your potential consumer base, converting them discreetly without even having to aggressively market your product. It is fairly easy to let them slip into the hands of your niche consumer base – mainly because they are provided for free. With a bountiful of options to choose from, you can easily make merry with such an easy but effective alternate marketing option at hand!

Promotional giveaways can range for small jute bags to exquisitely carved magnets and glassware, depending upon your budget and willingness to invest in such a campaign:

·         Bags – Bags can be great items for marketing gifts, albeit with a great emphasis being laid on the design and print of the bags – which should be in tune with your brand image and colors. 

·         Calendars – Calendars are another great promotional giveaway, especially as it is often the most used accessory within the house.

·         Glassware – Beautifully carved and engraved glassware that is both usable as well as a stark reminder of your brand is another great idea for diplomatic marketing. However, this option should only be availed if you have a sufficient budget in hand.

·         Magnets – Magnets again are a great promotional giveaway, but can be ignored too since most of them are miniscule in size and can often fail to attain long-term brand image establishment.

·         Clothing – T-shirts, caps and allied clothing accessories can also become great alternative marketing substitutes, especially when implemented with bags and allied items.

·         Stationary – Coffee mugs, notepads, professional folders and allied items also work well in helping your indirect marketing campaign surge forward and meet success.

There are more ways to provide impetus to your brand establishment campaign – all you need is a creative mind and a trustworthy dealer!
