Homemade Cat Food

By: Mike Kim

Benefits Of Homemade Cat Food

Making your own cat food at home is

a great alternative to commercially

available food. First of all, you know

what ingredients will be used and it

will be a more natural meal com-

pared to pet food, which is usually

loaded with preservatives and other

nasty fillers. Here is what you need to

know about making your own food for

your cat.

LMMAR Halloween Luncheon-

“DARE TO COME FOR A FRIGHTFULLY GREAT LUNCH”

As one walked into the dining room at Michaels and

seeing many folks in costumes, there was no doubt

that you just entered a Halloween party. Norm Dhom

welcomed everyone, ghosts and goblins all, at the

LMMAR luncheon on October 26th, 2012 asking eve-

ryone to be seated.

All the tables were decorated with hand carved figurines of witches and oracles

surrounded by autumn leaves, straw men, pumpkins, gourds and candy bars of

all kinds. The podium was decorated with a beautiful autumn wreath. All of

these provided by Vera Pedretti who hand-carved many of the objects with which

she decorated the tables.

As always, Michael’s provided a great luncheon with entrée choices of Ghostly

Goulash, Vampire’s Chicken Breast and Warlock Salmon, served with fresh rolls,

salad, coffee & iced tea. Dessert was pumpkin pie with a generous dollop of

whipped cream.

After lunch and before dessert, Norm thanked Joe Reickerd and Ralph Honda for

getting everyone signed in and getting the correct menu item. He thanked Vera

& Karen for decorating, as well as Lucille Wilson and Gay Morgan for arranging

the luncheon. Norm outlined the program that was to take place. After dessert,

Norm introduced Mr. Marshall Case, Vice President of Infrastructure Services at

Lockheed Martin. Mr. Case gave us a Lockheed Martin business update. He

was warmly received and he captivated the audience. He answered many ques-

tions and thanked us for inviting him.

Jan Hammerlund advised all of us about the up-coming LMMAR event, a bus trip

to San Mateo to see a performance by Pasquale Esposito accompanied by the

Mission Chamber Orchestra at the Bayside Performing Arts Center on December

15th, 2012, (Mr. Esposito, Italian tenor, was our June entertainment). For infor-

As carnivores, cats need:

Protein from meat or fish

Fatty acids

Vitamins

Minerals

Water

Taurine

As meat eating animals, cats don't re-

ally need carbohydrates such as rice

and grains. But a small amount of

them in the diet is fine. Carbohydrates

can be used as energy and are also

cheaper on than meats. .

Taurine is a very important amino acid

so make sure your cat gets it in the

form of a vitamin.

Usually meats and vegetables are a

staple of homemade cat food. Grains

are optional. Organ meats can be used

as a once in a while treat.

You can use raw lamb, beef, turkey, or

chicken. Never use raw pork or fish as

these can have parasites. Use meats

that have some fat content to them.

To make the meat mixture, mix 1

pound of the meat, 1 cup of water, and

3 tablespoons of powdered egg shells.

After it has been mixed, store it in the

freezer.

Now, you need to be careful with vege-

tables. Never feed your cat onions, to-

matoes, potatoes, eggplant, and pep-

pers. These vegetables can cause

health problems for your pet. Cut the

vegetables up into small pieces and

store them in the refrigerator.

(Continued from page 1)EDITOR’S CORNER For the grain mixture, you can use

oats, rice, flour, etc. Cook the grains

so that they are soft and easy to chew

on.

When preparing the meal, the mixture

should mostly be made of meat. The

rest should be made of the vegetables

and grains. Aim for a ratio of 3:1. You

will want to thaw the mixture with hot

water. Wait till the mixture is warm as

cats prefer warm food.

You can also add nutritional supple-

ments to the mixture. An adult cat will

only need a few spoonfuls of this mix-

ture per day.

A homemade meal will add years to

your cat's life.

improve EPA employees’ access to

communications and mobility tools

and will offer EPA a significant cost

savings. The new system is expected

to save approximately $12 million

over the four-year contract period.

“EPA and Lockheed Martin have a

long and productive relationship. I am

excited to have them assist us in

transforming the way our employees

work and collaborate with one anoth-

er,” said Malcolm Jackson, Assistant

Administrator for Environmental Infor-

mation and Chief Information Officer

at the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency.

Under the terms of the contract, ap-

proximately 25,000 users of EPA e-

mail will be transitioned to Office 365

for Government, a new multi-tenant

service that stores U.S. government

data in a segregated community cloud

and includes e-mail, calendars, sched-

uling and collaboration tools for inter-

nal and external use. Lockheed Martin

will manage the migration and pro-

vide engineering and ongoing integra-

tion services. The primary e-mail mi-

gration will be completed in early

2013.

“Lockheed Martin has supported the

IT needs of the EPA for more than 35

years,” said Frank Armijo, vice presi-

dent of Lockheed Martin Energy Solu-

tions. “By providing cloud-based tools

that facilitate collaboration, communi-

cation and cost savings across the

agency, our team is dedicated to the

EPA’s mission.”

Lockheed Martin has several cloud

services such as the proven Solutions

as a Service (SolaSTM) secure cloud

delivery innovation, which combines

domain expertise, proven processes

and smart technology. The corpora-

tion began its investment in cloud

solution development in early 2008,

with its first cloud implementation in

early 2009. Since then, Lockheed

Martin has been on the front lines of

the cloud evolution, developing inno-

vation centers, flexible cloud compu-

ting solutions and alliances with part-

ners to provide the most comprehen-

sive solutions to customers.

“The EPA will continue to lead the

pack on environmental stewardship,

and moving an IT environment to the

cloud is a natural part of that,” said

Greg Myers, vice president of Mi-

crosoft Federal. “There is tremendous

potential in the cloud, not only for

transforming the way government

employees work, but also for helping

agencies meet their environmental

and energy efficiency goals. Microsoft

cloud services are backed by the lat-

est innovations in data center design

and energy efficiency, providing agen-

cies with a unique opportunity to re-

duce their energy consumption, gener-

ate cost savings, and reduce the envi-

ronmental impact of their overall tech-

nology footprint.”

Microsoft delivers a variety of technol-

ogies that meet the unique needs of

government agencies and their mis-

sions. These include private, public,

and government community cloud

offerings, as well as on premises solu-

tions and hybrid architectures. The

EPA joins a growing list of government (Continued on page 4)

cessful Test Flights

Royal Navy Fleet Ballistic Missile

Launched in Test in the Atlantic

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 31, 2012 –

The U.S. Navy supported the Oct. 23

launch of a U.K. Royal Navy Trident II

D5 Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) built

by Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT). The

unarmed missile was launched from

the submerged Royal Navy submarine

HMS Vigilant in the Atlantic Ocean.

The test marked the 143rd successful

test flight of the Trident II D5 missile

since design completion in 1989 – a

reliability record unmatched by any

other large ballistic missile or space

launch vehicle.

“The Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy

continue to demonstrate the readi-

ness and reliability of this highly capa-

ble system, whose mission is to dis-

courage aggression,” said Melanie A.

Sloane, vice president of Fleet Ballis-

tic Missile programs, Lockheed Martin

Space Systems Company, the Trident

missile prime contractor. “The cooper-

ation of both governments, supported

by industry, provides a credible sub-

marine-based strategic deterrent.”

The test, which was part of a Demon-

stration and Shakedown Operation

that verified the integrity of the strate-

gic weapon system following an over-

haul of the submarine, was the 10th

consecutive successful Trident II D5

missile test flight by the U.K. since

1994. The missile was converted into

PRESS RELEASE

Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules Variants Declared 'Mission Capable' After U.S. Air Force Testing MARIETTA, Ga., Nov. 1, 2012 – The

Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] HC-130J

Combat King II and the MC-130J Com-

mando II aircraft have been certified

as “Effective, Suitable and Mission

Capable” by the Air Force Operational

(Continued from page 1).UNCHEON Test and Evaluation Center. The U.S. Air

Force is currently recapitalizing the HC,

MC and AC-130 gunship fleets with new

C 130J variants.

The HC-130J is the personnel recovery/

combat search and rescue aircraft for

Air Combat Command, and the MC-

130J is the Special Operations tanker

aircraft for Air Force Special Operations

Command. Currently Lockheed Martin

is on contract for 27 MC 130Js and 15

HC-130Js. The certification was re-

ceived in October.

“This further demonstrates the amazing

flexibility of the C-130J. We took a KC-

130J tanker and, through in-line produc-

tion design changes and significant ca-

pability enhancements, produced the

current HC and MC aircraft,” said

George Shultz, Lockheed Martin vice

president and general manager for C-

130 Programs. “The C 130J is without

equal in terms of its multi-role, multi-

mission flexibility and availability. No

aircraft in production — or in develop-

ment — can match the capabilities of

the Super Hercules.”

From initial contract award in mid-2008

to the first ahead-of-schedule flight on

July 29, 2010, the HC/MC program

demonstrates the proven design, relia-

bility and technology of the C-130J. The

new AC-130Js will be converted to MC-

130Js with the addition of a precision

strike package.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lock-

heed Martin is a global security and

120,000 people worldwide and is princi-

pally engaged in the research, design,

development, manufacture, integration

and sustainment of advanced technolo-

gy systems, products and services.

The corporation's net sales for 2011

were $46.5 billion.
