Protect Birds by Keeping the Cat Indoors

Patch bloggers write about the issues near and dear to them.

Patch bloggers write on a variety of topics. Here are a few of the best from around Patch sites.

Send the kids outdoors but --so says Stella Miller. "You may be wondering if it is cruel to deprive your cat of an outdoor life.  Absolutely not.  Cats that are allowed outside are more likely to lead shorter lives."

Robert Pape writes about the . "These men are a true band of brothers who have always been there when called to service. They represent the best of the Irish spirit and tradition and they brought New York City through some of its darkest days."

Mary Redler finds Long Island "Driving through many of the Long Island's downtown areas and seeing the businesses that line the streets, one might think that it is merely a place where people eat out or get take-out after work and women get their nails and hair done, but Long Island is so much more."

Brian Kelly advocates for to control the population in the spring. "Many homeowners consider the fall as the end of tick season as the temperatures decrease, but it is actually an important time to treat properties to prevent the spread of ticks for the spring season."

Randy Levin writes about the and the need to get going. Now. "Once again…the 28,000 other students….many of whom were driven to get 2400 on their SAT were also club presidents and competitors who gave their time to charity work….if not a kidney."

when you say elite do you mean the hard working people who have money? it's a matter of labels. youRead More call them elite..they call themselves hard workers. yes, some inherit money. but most of us work for it.

No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treatedRead More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.

The canopies will be primarily over the staircases, elevator, waiting room, and one other small section on the middle section of the platform between the elevator and east escalator.

Also blocks along Alhambra Road including Granada and Sutton. It rained the other day and was up toRead More the front lawn on one house that is still being renovated from Sandy!!!! Horrible if those owners saw this.
