Cat Behavior ? Alternatives to Declawing
2012-02-02 14:18:00 When the cats start scratching the furniture, declawing is often the first thing that comes to mind, but there are many less radical alternatives to this sometimes dangerous and debilitating operation. While for some cats the choice is truly between declawing and surrender to a shelter, many other cats can learn to respect the furniture and claw only appropriate objects. It certainly pays to give these alternatives to declawing a try. One of the most important things cat owners can do is introduce the cats in their lives to scratching posts, climbing poles and other appropriate scratching surfaces as soon as possible. Making these surfaces even more attractive by rubbing them with catnip is a great idea as well, as is placing the front paws on the surface and miming a scratching motion. Most kittens and many older cats will get the idea right away. Of course providing good alternatives to scratching your favorite couch, chair or set of curtains is only half the b...

Owner Financing Offers Alternatives for Home Buyers
2011-11-16 06:00:00 When home buyers can't get a loan, they often turn to owner financing options. Back in the 1970s, newspaper classifieds were sprinkled with home ads titled OWC, meaning "owner will carry." Although today's real estate market is different, there are still similarities between the 1970s and now. Many home buyers in the 1970s faced financing challenges due to tightening of credit. And days on market exceeded 30. Buyers like owner financing for a variety of reasons, and it's also an alternative for those with less than stellar credit. That's because a buyer can have a decent FICO score but still be unable to qualify for a loan due to debt ratio requirements or time on the job. Buyers who utilize owner financing find they save on closing costs because they aren't paying loan points or lender fees. Sellers might offer a lower interest rate to the buyer than a buyer would get from a conventional lender, and the term of the financing can be negotiated between the seller and buyer ...

Elliott Gue: If Obama wins ... seek 'alternatives'
2008-10-13 06:00:00 "An Obama administration is likely to be very aggressive in subsidizing and promoting alternatives, including a windfall tax on oil firm to support development of alternative energy," says energy sector specialist Ellliot Gue (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2441). In The Energy Strategist (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2441), the advisor suggests, SunPower (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=spwr) (NASDAQ: SPWR (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=spwr)) is our pick to play an Obama victory.""Obama's energy plan calls for generating 10% of electricity from renewable sources by 2012 and 25% by 2025, an aggressive goal when you consider that less than 3% of America's power comes from non-hydropower renewables today.

10 Alternatives to Retiring Abroad
2008-09-12 03:46:00 The premise of my site is that moving to a low-cost country like India will allow you to retire earlier than you could otherwise. This is a straightforward case of cost-of-living arbitrage, which is the idea that differences in cost-of-living between different places can be exploited to one's advantage.Now, moving to another country to retire is no simple matter, and is certainly not for everyone. This got me thinking about some of the other non-traditional living options that can help with the goal of retiring early. If moving outright to another country seems too radical to you, you may like to consider one of the following options (or maybe not!).1. Roaming ("Perpetual traveler")For those with an adventurous streak, one possibility is not to settle down anywhere, but to keep moving from place to place. This requires you to downsize aggressively, selling everything that you really don't need. Not having to maintain a permanent home cuts down significantly on costs (no mortgage, ...
