Hypoallergenic Cats

A small California biotech company says it is ready to deliver the Holy Grail of the $35 billion pet industry: a hypoallergenic cat.



At the start of next year, the first kittens — which the company calls “lifestyle pets” — will go home to eager owners who have been carefully screened and have been on a waiting list for more than two years.

Since it announced the project in October 2004, the company, Allerca, of San Diego, says it has received inquiries from people in 85 countries seeking to buy a cat bred so that its glands do not produce the protein responsible for most human cat allergies.

Cats ordered now will take 12 to 15 months for delivery in the United States, 15 to 18 months in Europe. Cost: $4,000. And owners must pass Allerca’s finicky screening tests.

Well, it's been over a year since I have been on here. A lot has happened. I lost my job, my hula school, my boyfriend left and I was referred to a psychiatric hospital. All of this happened in a span of 4 weeks. Who would not be near a meltdown? I felt as if my whole world was destroyed. I sank into a deep depression and of course suicide was at the top of my list. It was sooooo difficult to find the positive things in life and needless to say I needed help.

As the walls came crashing in, one of the moms of my hula students decided to help me find another location to restart my hula school. Because she is retired, she was able to spend many hours with me, encouraging me and distracting me from this horrible mess. To make matters worse, my landlord shut the water to the building off for repairs without warning and we were without water for our showers. Other people have family living in this state so they have alternate places to shower. I do not have such a privilege. I asked the landlord where I am possibly supposed to shower?? She said, �You can get the water from the laundry room and transport it in bucket.� SERIOUSLY!! This was a sign that it was time to move, but with no job and no savings, how could I afford the move in fee and increased rent?

I was out of work for 9 months on administrative leave which meant that I had another chance to get my job back. My manager was a tyrant and micromanager that I knew there was no way on earth that she would allow me to come back. She painted a picture in the minds of HR that I was mentally and emotionally unstable and HR subjected me to an 8 hour evaluation and exam with a psychologist of their choice. I had to wait nearly one month for the results and the Dr. said that I am currently not fit for duty and that I need to be re-evaluated in 90 days.
During those 90 days I looked for other work, I filled out a minimum of 10 applications per day and they were all dead ends. I started reading books, doing meditation, and taking online intelligence assessment tests because I wanted to pass the next evaluation.

I went to spiritual healers, psychics and card readers because I wanted to find out, what was in store for me. I had absolutely nothing! NO job, no home, no friends, no money, no love relationship�. I received �light energy� and noticed a change right away. I received a spiritual healing and felt a lot of the pain and depression releasing. I know, it sounds strange. I continued to receive light energy 3 times a week and felt more positive. Things in my environment began to change. Negative people started disappearing. I found another location for my hula school that was only 1/3 the rent of where I was. I started getting students and earning a tiny income. I started to develop new friendships with the students and families that were coming to me for instruction. I continued to receive light energy and found a better place to live. I went from an apartment to renting a house. The owner is very nice and worked with me on the move in and deposit. My environment continued to become more and more positive. After receiving light energy for 2 months I decided to take the course to learn how to give light energy. After passing the 90 day re-evaluation with flying colors I was able to return to work and have my medical and dental benefits back. My manager fought it tooth and nail and said that she was concerned for the �safety of her workers if I returned to her office.� Oh please lady!! Once again it was in my favor. I am back at the same company working in a more positive environment with a boss that is against micromanaging. Nobody bothers me and I am making more money now then where I was before.

So here I am today� one year after my train wreck (so to speak) and I am back on track with a more positive attitude. My job is still great, my environment is still positive, negative people do not seem to linger and loiter around me and my hula school is full of positive, loving people. I continue to give and receive light 3 times per week and I am grateful for the way my life is today. Light energy is not a religion but a way of living the universal principles.
Now that I�m �back to normal�, I am hoping to visit NuTang at least once a week!

Gay, Straight, or Taken

I am not feeling well. I am actually feeling kind of dizzy from the sinus infection and I am just sooooo sleepy. So I am at home in bed watching episodes of Gay, Straight, or Taken. It is SUCH a funny show. You guys have to watch it. The youtube vids do this show no justice. If you watch it I bet YOU could not tell which was which. I know I cant !!

About the Show
Mondays at 8 pm et/pt



You can't help but notice that cute guy at the gym, in the bar or around the neighborhood. You smile at each other. And all you're thinking is one question...

Is he gay, straight or taken? Well, now you can find out how your intuition measures up by watching this new kind of dating game. It's a dating game with a twist like no other.

One woman meets three men for a series of dates and then must decide who is gay, who is straight and who is taken. She has to select the one straight, single man in the trio in order to win a luxurious dream getaway for her and this available bachelor. If she makes the wrong call, the man she incorrectly chooses gets her prize instead!

Think you can figure out who's who? Play along and find out! As you observe this woman spending time with the guys one-on-one and in a group, you can test your guydar with an online scorecard. Or grab your phone and text us the name of the guy you think is straight and single.

Life can sometimes be like a washing machine. .

Just the other day while doing my laundry I started to daydream. I saw the water filling up during the rinse cycle. All the clothes were squashed against the sides as the water began to fill. Then once it was full the clothes began to get tossed from left to right and top to bottom. When they are all cleaned and wash they get air dried in heat. That is the best part. They separate, fluff, and smell fresh.

To me life can be this way at times. Like the wash cycle, you feel stuck and heavy. Then as the water (problems) fills you begin to drown, getting tossed in many directions. Once life sends through the rinse cycle and you think all is lost. You get tossed into the sunshine (drier) to heal, renew and re-live.
