Killeen's Animal Control
I recently found myself in the Animal Control building to adopt a cat. A member of my family had been over in their building on a service call the day before, and the staff had been playing with various animals to give them a break from their cages. Okay, the staff probably was playing with them as a way to show them off to the people servicing various equipment in the hopes of finding homes for some of the animals. It worked. Within48 hours, we had a pet cat.
I grew up with the notion that the animals that the City picked up were "undesirable." They were wild or misbehaved or something, I don't really know what. And perhaps where I grew up that was true, or maybe it was true of the 1960's & 1970's. I don't really know. What I do know is that Killeen's Animal Control has some simply wonderful animals that are house-broken, gentle, playful--even spayed or neutered in many cases. Our cat is all of these and has been a wonderful addition to our petless household.
While picking up the cat, I overheard the manager and one of the officers talking. The officer reported that they had picked up 23 cats and 9 dogs that day. Sadly, they had had to put down 19 animals on the same day. You could tell that they truly disliked having to put down the animals, and in talking with them I found out that they go to great lengths to avoid doing so. But sometimes they do not get a choice. Help them out, spay or neuter your animals. And if you are thinking of adding a pet, drop in and see them. I am betting that they have the pet for you.
Just a note, when you walk in to Animal Control, don't look at the bulletin board to the right as come in the door if you have a weak stomach. It's a "wall of shame," showing the injuries that people have inflicted upon animals. Animal Control officers have to deal with this sort of thing far too often, and they created the bulletin board to remind people that "dog catchers" are not the real bad guys. Killeen's are certainly the good guys. Now, go see them and find a furry friend. They are open 7 days a week, and there is an animal there hoping you will be the one to save its life.

There would be no way I'd be able to look at the "wall of shame". As an animal lover, it would tear me up. I recently observed a non-indigeous critter attempting to cross a busy street and was almost in tears. I'm sure the poor thing had been a pet and then dumped.
The people who work at any animal shelter must have one of the most heart-rending occupations out there. My hat goes off to them.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
