— Sadira
Sadira, a Persian name which means "Dreamy", is a mysterious female fighter. She is the first, and so far only new character revealed for Killer Instinct 2013. She is also the first female character added to the current roster.
Sadira is extremely pale, she has long black hair and her eyes are also notably and unnaturally glowing yellow. Sadira wears a mulberry-colored outfit with a hood and a decorative mask. She appears to be wearing ripped stockings on her legs. In general, her clothing appears to be of a Persian or Arabian design, perhaps hinting at her nationality. She has bladed gauntlets with two talons protruding from the knuckles
Killer Instict 2013
Story: Leading the Red Eyes of Rylai assassins, Sadira has long observed the fighters of previous tournaments. Ordered by a shadowy figure to "prepare the way", she has chosen this moment to reveal her singular purpose of eliminating all former competitors.
Extended Story — "The Widow's Bite": Sadira is a cold-blooded assassin who has contracted with Ultratech to quiet whistleblowers, activists, politicians and any other enemies of the megacorporation who might prevent the artificial intelligence called ARIA from executing her plans for an evolved humanity.
Sadira was born in a refugee camp on the Thai border, an area rife with bloody conflicts waged between ethnic groups and the Communist government of Myanmar. As a child she learned to fight in order to survive in the tough camp, training in the muay boran—the ancient boxing style of the region. Her instructor tried to teach her that this martial art was meant to build character, but what Sadira loved about it was the sheer violence…the thrill of pummeling, dominating and humiliating another human.
And she craved something darker and more satisfying than just a contest.
When she was a teenager she was recruited by the female insurgent group known as the Red Eyes of Rylai. She gladly joined their order and quickly rose up the ranks due to her innate ferocity. Her first act was to fight a fellow initiate using glass shards tied to her fists with hemp rope. Sadira toyed with her outmatched and terrified opponent, using the glass to disfigure her face, leaving her alive as a warning to the others.
The Red Eyes made their jungle base in a hidden subterranean limestone cave system that had been used centuries before as a temple. The Master of the Red Eyes—an old but still very dangerous assassin—took Sadira under her wing, knowing that she had a dangerous but extraordinary fighter in her midst. She treated Sadira like a daughter, giving the young woman the only true affection she'd ever known.
The Master wore a necklace in the shape of a golden spider: it was the symbol of her chiefdom. For years Sadira coveted this thing with an all-consuming lust, pretending to love and respect her leader, but quietly plotting to seize control of the Red Eyes.
Eventually Sadira came to be considered one of the Red Eye's best assassins, but more than once her impetuousness nearly got her killed. What's more she constantly bullied the other women in the Order, and her rash nature caused her to make a grave mistake on a covert mission, getting her fellow strike team members killed in the process.
One night the master took Sadira to a secret chamber in the caverns and showed her a beautiful gilded throne. This was the place where she came and meditated. She told her pupil that one day Sadira might sit in this chair, but that first she would have to earn the position of Master through bravery and sacrifices. She would also have to learn to temper her recklessness. Eventually, the Master explained, the two would have a ceremonial fight in front of all the members of the Red Eyes and, if Sadira was victorious, then and only then would she be handed the spider necklace and the throne.
Sadira pretended to accept these words, bowing low in submission. Then without warning, she lashed out with a hidden blade, slicing her master across the cheek. The older woman's eyes opened wide in shock as she felt a deadly poison coursing through her veins. Dropping to her knees she grinned hideously. Then with her final utterance she said, "The spider has found its true home."
Sadira stood over her dead master, staring at her curiously for some time. Then she took the necklace from the corpse and put it around her own throat. It felt extremely heavy and cold. She went to the throne and sat on it, lounging lazily. Suddenly she felt something bite into her skin. The legs of the spider had come alive! As Sadira screamed and clawed at the spider, the golden thing dug itself into her chest, burrowing deep into her flesh, coming to rest next to her heart which throbbed and rolled in her breast as if it were a frightened animal. Her forearms and palms tingled painfully as though they were buzzing with an electrical current. At that moment webs burst from her hands and coated the cave wall. She instinctively leaped up and clung to the gossamer threads, breathing hard.
A dark and chill power emanated from that golden thing inside her body. Sadira could feel it surround her heart, slowly consuming and replacing it. There was a sharp pain in her chest that would not go away…a pain that would always remain.
But losing her heart was worth the price, for the power that came from the spider was magnificent. Under Sadira's nefarious direction the Red Eyes expanded their activities, providing services across the globe—paid murderers and mercenaries for the rich and powerful. ARIA became aware of Sadira through her intelligence network, and retained the wily killer for a massive sum of money. The AI sent Sadira on many covert missions, including stealing tech from the alien Glacius's crashed ship.
One of her assignments was to fight Glacius in the Killer Instinct tournament and surreptitiously steal some of his DNA using a hidden syringe implanted in her boot. After that ARIA was able to use this genetic code sample to bypass the security protocols on Glacius's fold core and open a portal to another dimension.
Her work for ARIA had made Sadira fabulously wealthy. Realizing that she now had the capital to operate beyond the shadows, Sadira moved to strengthen her terrorist organization and become a feared name across the globe. Her activities became more audacious, forcing ARIA to warn her of her increasing presence in the public eye.
When ARIA requested that she personally investigate a shrine in a remote Japanese village, Sadira assumed there was a high-powered target there for her to dispatch. But instead she found herself at the grave of a 17th century Japanese girl who had died heroically defending her village from raiding samurai. Sadira foolishly started digging up the grave, thinking that there was a treasure hidden there. This impiety awoke a powerful vengeful spirit in the form of Hisako, who pursued Sadira mercilessly no matter where she fled. Sadira was seriously wounded by Hisako, and the assassin slunk back to her lair in the jungles, clinging to life and believing that ARIA had set her up: she'd become too much of a liability and a threat to the AI. Sadira clung to her web, brooding like a wounded spider. How could she bring ARIA's empire crashing to the ground?
While Sadira pondered this, she was visited by Omen—the Herald of Gargos—who called upon her to turn against ARIA and join the path of the Astral Lord. Sadira has a choice to make that will help decide the fate of humankind…a position she relishes greatly.
Sadira uses the ruthless powers of the spider granted to her in the past. They come naturally and easily to her, almost as if she was born with them. But near-death at the ghost's hands awoke something inside of Sadira. Revenge and survival are now one and the same. She must take the time to unlock her true potential as she recovers by studying the hunting and killing techniques of actual arachnids. She has taken particular interest in the Salticidae family of spiders…

Spare Fulgore, ULTRA Jago:
Secrecy has long been Sadira's greatest weapon, but now, she has been dragged from the shadows to become a puppet for ARIA. She has won riches beyond imagination, but the price of her newfound wealth may be too great, and the ultimate prize too small.
ULTRA Both Jago and Fulgore:
Long ago, Sadira abandoned her humanity to an unending quest for wealth and power. Now, allied with ARIA, she has both. Abandoning her life lived in secret, she vows to extend her network of assassins into one that will blanket and terrorize the globe.

This review is from: ASUS ROG PG278Q Black 27" Gaming Monitor 2560X1440, 144Hz 1ms(GTG), WQHD G-SYNC 3D Monitor, Gaming Hotkeys, 6mm Slim Bezel 350 cd/m2
Pros: Everything about this monitor is absolutely fantastic. I was a bit weary of ordering because of some reviews, but I must have received a good one? If I didn't intentionally order it refurbished, I would have never know it was. It arrived in a much larger box than I imagined, ASUS tape sealing the box, in perfect condition. The screen is really bright, no stuck pixels or visible backlight bleed. It's just perfect.
Cons: It wasn't a buy 1 get 2 free deal?READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ZOTAC AMP! SUPERCLOCKED ZT-70402-10P G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: I am very pleased with this purchase. I have played a few matches of COD Ghosts and BF4 on highest settings with all the knobs turned to 11 and never went below 50 fps. This video card has definitely exceeded my expectations. (I figured I would need a GTX 780 for this kind of performance) It stays very cool and very quiet.
Cons: None.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
Pros: I've always loved corsair power supplies because they have always been dependable and never had one fail on me. I normally get a non-modular psu but I thought I would go with a modular psu this time and wish I didn't. (see cons)
Cons: I've had this PSU for a while now to replace the stock PSU in my computer so I could add a graphics card. I just ordered the graphics card yesterday and I thought I would go ahead and connect the pci-e cables to it to get ready for the graphics card to arrive. I could connect one cable to the power supply without a problem. The other 3 cables were a problem. No matter how I would try to connect a cable to either port in the psu it would try to push pin 7 out of the connector. All the pins in the psu connectors look completely straight, all the pins in the pci-e cables connector look completely straight. All the pci-e cable connectors look identical. I can't figure out why pin 7 in all of the connectors wont connect properly. There are 2 wires connected to pin 7 leaving pin 8 is empty, which i'm sure was done on purpose (I hope) and I'm sure that is not the cause of why pin 7 wont connect properly. The graphics card I ordered only requires 2 6pin pci-e connectors. I'm hoping that pin 7 on one end of the connector is also connected to pin 7 on the other end. If that is the case then I won't have any problem when I receive my graphics card. Needless to say, when I decide to get a new psu, I will be going with one that uses a different type of connector.READ FULL REVIEW

"In this webinar, Carla Schroder, columnist, blogger, and author of the Linux Cookbook and Linux Networking Cookbook, covers the finer points of secure remote graphical administration from your Linux PC, showing how to run graphical applications, your favorite desktop, remote helpdesk, and even control a Windows machine from Linux.

She includes a bunch of photos of some of the women who attended and discusses the issue of their "visibility" in the open source community.

Laura makes an interesting point about our education system, too: "Despite the fact that nearly every student will be working with computers in whatever field they enter, they likely will never have even one class where they study any sort of computer science or algorithm theory." She says that the leading women contributing to Drupal came...

Mar 07, 2008 GMTYes, this is slightly off topic for this blog, but it caught my eye. A Miami University study indicates that girls like science and math better in the 4th grade than they do in the 8th grade. According to the study, the good news – if you can call it that – is that girls lose interest in subjects across the board and don't seem to single out math and science. But the even better news is that "as they become college students, some females regain their interest in sciences: At Miami's Oxford campus, there are more female majors than male in botany, microbiology and zoology."

Google has launched an experiment with post-quantum cryptography in Chrome. A small fraction of connections between Google's servers and Chrome on the desktop will use a post-quantum key-exchange algorithm in addition to the elliptic-curve key-exchange algorithm already being used. The idea is that large quantum computers eventually might be able to break current security algorithms retroactively.

July 12, 2016
Concerns have been multiplying in the United States over the creaks of a medical infrastructure that's bearing the weight of an aging population. Current and upcoming members of the over-65 club are helping to drive a new age in healthcare, in which devices connect patients with caregivers, things get even smarter, and machines get even better at learning what sensors are saying.
Parsing the Clinton Email Scandal
July 11, 2016
I've been watching the Clinton email scandal closely, because I not only have been in and out of law enforcement and security for much of my early life, but also was an internal auditor for IBM and one of the leading email experts in the 1990s. I think this is the only time I've seen an investigator channel a prosecutor and give someone a pass without addressing why crimes were committed.

Airbnb Fights City Hall Over San Francisco Registration Rule
July 8, 2016
Airbnb recently filed suit against San Francisco over a new rule governing short-term rentals, which the city's Board of Supervisors approved last month. An Airbnb-supported law adopted earlier this year requires short-term rental hosts to register with the city, but it's estimated that only about 20 percent of them have done so. The new rule requires services like Airbnb to enforce the law.

The writer hails from Monty Python, the director invented the Muppets, the executive producer spawned a little thing called Star Wars. Its leading lady was a future Oscar winner. And the villain was played by a British rock god, who also contributed a couple of none-too-shabby songs to the soundtrack.
Labyrinth (***1/2), the 1986 Jim Henson-helmed fantasy, is being rereleased at the Ritz at the Bourse today - and this Alice in Wonderland-y, Wizard of Oz-y yarn about a girl who descends into a land of goblins to rescue her infant brother is a real trip. Jennifer Connelly, 16 at the time, plays the heroine, Sarah; David Bowie is Jareth, the glam rock Goblin King; Pythonite Terry Jones scripted, and George Lucas oversaw the project.

The National Hockey League Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly sent out a memo to all general managers and coaches, part of which reads as follows: "During the first week of the playoffs, we have had several instances of team personnel using inappropriate and profane language in media interactions... While we appreciate the intensity and passion with which you all approach your jobs, everyone must also understand the need to maintain suitable decorum in public settings... Any such violations in the future will subject both the individual's involved and their clubs to potential fines."added 6:55am, from the Leader-Post,
If the Tampa Bay Lightning are eliminated by the Ottawa Senators tonight, some of the loudest cheers will be coming from the people who bring you the NHL playoffs on radio and TV, and maybe from the guys in the league offices in New York and Toronto, too. That's because Lightning head coach John Tortorella has a toilet for a mouth, forcing broadcasters to fill the airwaves with bleeps to mask the expletives he often uses in his remarks to the media.more

AUSTIN (AP) - The bill to require voters to present photo identification or two other forms of ID before casting ballots was not going to get a vote Wednesday night, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said, effectively killing it for the session.
Under Senate rules, midnight Wednesday was the deadline for the bill to come up for debate before Monday's end of the legislative session.
Democrats, who claim the identification requirements would disenfranchise poor and minority voters, had vowed to filibuster the bill - and threaten other bills - if it ever came up.
Under Senate rules, it would have taken 25 members to pass the bill before the deadline and Democrats had the votes to block it.
The bill triggered an angry debate in the Senate when Republicans previously tried to take up the bill over Democratic objections.
Democratic Sen. Mario Gallegos, who had a liver transplant in January, ignored his doctors' advice and stayed at the Capitol to cast his vote on the issue. A Republican colleague had set up a hospital bed in a room outside the Senate chamber so that Gallegos could be ready to vote.
"We're not going to do it," said Dewhurst, who said he told Gallegos to go home and take care of himself.

'Collected Stories' collaboration an uneven read
Neatly arranged nesting dolls - appearing on an upstage table in a Greenwich Village apartment - tell us a lot about the theme and structure of Donald Margulies' "Collected Stories." Under C. Michael Wright's direction, the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre and Madison's Forward Theater Company opened a collaborative production of Margulies' play Friday night.
Author Ruth Steiner (Sarah Day) has lived in that apartment for more than 30 years. Star-struck Lisa Morrison (Laura Frye), the young writer who bursts into Ruth's life in the first scene, is Ruth's latest protégée - another nesting doll aspiring to replicate, on a smaller scale, her master's form. »Read Full Article

World Cup- Quarter-Finals(6/2): Uruguay vs. Ghana
The buzzzzzzzzzing crowd helps them not in this one.
Uruguay's team should dominate Ghana... Ghana is going to hurt this game from some yellow cards during the USA game. Not to mention that Uruguay just has a lot better team!
i think Uraguay will take this but with those odds i might take a punt on Ghana....hmmm, what to do?
With these odds I'm gonna have to bet on Ghana. It's not like Uruguay is a world class team whos gonna whipe the floor with them. I think Ghana is coming out swinging, and it would be huge for them to reach the semis in Africa. 300 on Ghana.
Ghana are overrated I think, shouldn't have really beaten the US who were far better. Gotta go with Uruguay.
I'll toss 100k on Uruguay. I also think the USA would do better.
I don't really know a lot about either club, though, to be honest.
Gotta go with Uru on this

Our most inspiring stories come from you, our clickers. We love hearing about your rescued, adopted, beloved pets. Please click the button below to share your story with the world!
In October 2004, my mom died. As you would expect, I was struggling and then one night my neighbor called and told me of a little dog she had seen posted on a rescue. She knew about the little guy because I had heard some friends had taken him to the rescue because he wasn't good with a small child in their family and was too "quirky" The little lhasa apso was named Marley. We both knew this rescue wasn't a good idea and once I saw the posting I was determined to save him. The little dog had had his hair chopped off and was wearing a muzzle. The look on his face was pure terror. I immediately put in to adopt him. Marley joined our family on Christmas Eve, complete with his own box of antacids! His eyes were blood red and our vet determined the "rescue" had been using a snare to drag Marley from his kennel.
Marley was a quirky little guy doing things his way, chasing his tail, growling and watching shadows and could lay for hours, staring at the wall. We just let him be himself and eventually, he started jumping on our laps and giving hugs. Over the years we treated Marley for his stomach issues, sight problems and dementia like behavior. In October of last year, at the age of 16, the problems were obviously getting worse and Marley's vision was totally gone. He knew and so did I that maybe it was time to end the fight. Marley crossed over the rainbow bridge that day, safely tucked in my arms. He was finally at rest. I always believed mom had played a part in our getting him to ease us through the pain of losing her and he had done that. I miss my Marley..... I still hear him growling as he ran up the hallway to our room where he slept on our bed. Special Marley had finally found a home where someone loved him because of his quirky differences. We wouldn't have wanted him any other way.
About 6 weeks ago (today is 5/2/16), I heard loud crying at my back door. Opening the door, a young, muted tabby boy, though I didn't know his sex at the time, tried to waltz on in.
Unfortunately, my 4 resident felines would have caused quite a riot. Not to mention the 2 big dogs.
So, I grabbed a carrier, went outside and managed to stuff him in, all the while he kept trying to slip past the door. Talk about determination.
Once in my car, I called my vet to give them a heads up that I was on my way with (another) stray. He's the 3rd kitty to show up in my back yard.
I left him at my wonderful vet's to be checked over, tested for disease, and spayed or neutered whichever was appropriate.
When he came home the next day, my husband rolled his eyes at yet *another* mouth to feed. But didn't say a word. Smart man.
Bobby aka Bobowitz, is quite the boy, impish and into everything, so he got a real boy name. He has appointed himself my assistant chef, housekeeper, laundress, dog washer, and chief inspector of everything I bring home.
Bobby is the first cat I've had, and to date I've had 14, with a mohawk. The fur on the top of his head grows toward the middle, and sticks straight up, making the mohawk.
I work in an aviation museum with one enclosed hangar and one open, unrestored hangar. One day while working back in restoration, a coworker heard scuffling and a small meow from inside a World War II-era B-17E bomber nicknamed 'Swamp Ghost.' The airplane had crashed in a swamp in New Guinea during the war and was left there for decades before being removed. Today the plane is still unrestored, so there are holes from bullets and rust all throughout. My coworker had found a small kitten. She was all alone. No sign of a mother or other members of her litter anywhere. Unfortunately our hangar is also home to owls, which may have played a part in the disappearance of the rest of her litter.
After repeatedly texting my landlord, I found out that I could take this sweet girl home with me. All day she had quietly sat in a box in our offices without a peep. She came with me to the vet where he estimated her age at 6 weeks. Only weighed 1.3 pounds. Since she came home, all her shyness has melted away. Every minute is spent playing or napping away in the big blankets on the bed. Her fiesty energy is no doubt how she was able to survive without her mother.
I present my newly adopted kitten, Swampy.
Hello everyone
When I raised four children in Australia we had pet mallard ducks, Honey and Sugar, raised from chicks, and The Duke, a male so named because he had a truly stately waddle :o)…we also had two budgies, one of whom sat on my shoulder most of the day in the house, and on walks. I taught Boo to say 'kiss mum', but could never teach him to say 'Doug's a naughty boy!' lol …The children and I also had a perfect little tiger tabby who gave endless hours of joy …sadly I no longer have birds, cat, nor ducks, because I've been a bit of a nomad in Europe the past 8 years…and that's been terriffic for me but no life for a pet…
I've been clicking for the rescue's bowl of food since I met a vet's wife in Portugal 7 years ago, and it's always disappointing when there is no story of the day
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your rescue stories…they often make my day…evidence of human kindness….it fills my heart with warm emotion to know that kind people still exist…and practise random acts of caring….which is so obvious from all the loving kindness that pours from these posts…some of the stories have brought me to tears :o)
you restore my faith in humanity, thanks for that
best wishes to you all
Samantha and Elouise are 2 of a litter of 4 kittens born April 20, 2012, to a feral cat They and their mother were being tended by a Good Samaritan. The mother cat was run over by a car when the litter was 1 week old. The Good Samaritan knew 4, 1-week old kittens were beyond her ability. The vets and staff at Pellissippi Veterinary Hospital were glad to become their foster parents. Known today as Sam'n'Ella, my husband and I adopted them in June 2012 (about 3 months old in the picture).
We know they had the same mother, but we think they must have had different daddies. Sam (black) a long, lanky lay-about, now weighs in at 16 pounds. Ella tips the scale at 7 pounds and is quite an agile acrobat, leaping 6 feet up door frames (yes, leaping, not climbing). Because 1) their eyes weren't open when their mother was killed, and 2) lived and were loved in a clinic for 5 weeks, they never learned the trademark, stereotypical cat characteristics. They want to be wherever we are, they come when called, Ella plays fetch, and Sam requests to be put to bed at night.
They have made their peace with Murran, our 11 year old Maltese/terrier (whom we adopted at 6 weeks). They are still coming to terms with Bear, our 1 year old Pomeranian/Yorkie (whom we adopted at 6 weeks). One of the vet techs thinks calling them Sam'n'Ella is "just awful"and will only call them Ella and Sam. As we say in the south, "Call me what you want; just don't call me late for supper."
Just so you know, all of our furry family members are (and have been), "free to good home."
Nine years ago I lost my beloved Yorkie , Nugget. I was urged by my neighbors to get another dog so I went on Petfinders. I found a Shih Tzu and put in to adopt him. I was told he was already adopted so I went back and looked around and found a Yorkie. I put in to adopt him and got a phone call saying I could have him if I guaranteed to take him. I said yes. The next day I got a call that the Shih Tzu had been returned and I could have him. I went to the rescue foster parent's home and picked him. His name is Toby and he has been a wonderful dog.. He's now 12 and has some health issues but is still going fairly strong. Two days after I got Toby, Tyler arrived. A 5 lb skin and bones dog. I was afraid to pick him up that I would break a bone. Tyler was afraid of everything. If I opened a door he ran. If anything made a noise he ran. He was afraid of everyone except me. Everyone in the neighborhood said I should take him to the pound and forget about him. Well he gradually came around and now is one of the best dogs around. He learned a lot from Toby - like the leash doesn't hurt you, doors opening done hurt and you can peek in and see all kinds of things. He follows me everywhere I got and cuddles with me at night. I am glad I got him and Toby - two of the best dogs one could ask for.
May 2015 I was looking for my forever home for few days and luckily a three women adopted me and they named me Snowe.
September 2015 I am happily living with my new family when I decided to jump and fell over the window. I got my two front leg broken. My mommy bring me to Vet but the Vet can't operate me because my bone was small and the operation was expensive. The Vet give me pain reliever and medicine for my bone. My two front leg bent after the accident but I can still walk.
December 2015 even if my two front leg is bent I stay healthy but one morning I can't walk, I can't move my two back feet. The Vet said that I broke my two back leg and put me to cage. Inside the cage I don't stop biting it and I damage my neck and teeth. I can't move my neck and I can't eat on my own but my mommy cares about me. She remove me on my cage and create a small bed for me, she started feeding me with a syringe for one week. I recover but I ended up crawling to move.
March 2016 my mommy got worried because I have a blood on my pee. She call the vet and gave me vaccine and medicine to drink.
Today I eat a lot and take a sunbath early in the morning. I never let any other cat(boy) to get near to my dear Barbie(another rescued cat that stuck on the water pipe.) If the cat meowed I meowed louder. I love the way my mommies petted me. I love my mommies but I love them more.
In November 2014, I opened my bedroom window and saw two tiny kittens huddled together in a corner of our garden. I ran out but only managed to save one of them, the sickest who couldn't run. Even though we thought he would die, turns out he was one tough kitty and he pulled through. My sons called him Tiggerjack. We still see and feed his brother often but he is too feral to be caught. When we found him, Tiggy, had worms, a skin condition, he was skin and bones, had a ton of fleas, ear mites and a fever. Even though he was about 2 months old, he was half the size he was supposed to be and to this day remains tiny.
He became the sweetest, most loving lap cat ever!
Fast forward in June, I hear kitty cries so I go out to investigate. Tiggy had brought home a teeny tiny ginger boy. He wasn't the friendliest kitty, and he escaped our home a couple times but Tiggy kept bringing him back. In about a month he was tame and loving. We named him Leo because his profile with the long nose reminded us of a lion.
Since then the two have been inseparable even though by six months old Leo outgrew his friend!!
I guess Tiggy paid it forward!!
A thin, terrified two-year-old blue heeler was found wandering the streets of Phoenix, Arizona, one extremely hot summer day in 2014. She ended up in a local animal shelter, where she was soon put on the euthanasia list due to her "unfriendly" personality. No one came to claim her.
But then some nice people with a local dog fostering nonprofit decided to take her out of the shelter and saved her from the euthanasia list.
I had a 6-year-old border collie at the time (still have him), and he was home alone regularly, which tore me up with dog-mom guilt. I decided he needed a pal, so I started searching online. I came across this blue heeler and was immediately struck by how sweet she looked.
I brought her home and quickly discovered whoever had "owned" her previously had abused her. When I'd lift my arm up to take something out of a kitchen cabinet, she'd shrivel in fear onto the floor and wet herself. She'd cry and hide in the closet from even the slightest noise or quick movement. It broke my heart to see her so afraid.
This went on for a couple of weeks, when I decided she and I needed to have a heart-to-heart. One night we sat down on the floor together, I gently stroked her head, and I told her, "Abby, (the name I chose for her), you will never be hurt again. You will never be starved, neglected, yelled at or struck. I will love you forever. You are part of this family now. I want you to be Happy Abby."
She looked at me I swear, she understood. Ever since that talk, she's become a completely different dog. She plays, chases her Border Collie brother around the house, sits by my side, and best of all, when we go to bed, she puts her head by mine, stretches her arm out across my chest, and snores in my ear.
Abby is a great, brilliant, delightful dog who will always have a happy, safe home. I'm so glad she decided to adopt me.
My family and I have always rescued animals...all animals. I have always had a closeness with cats and after watching several shows about them, I wanted a Sphynx. I was contacted by a friend, who was contacted by another, that there was a domestic violence situation and a woman who ran a rescue needed emergency fosters. My friend took the Scottish fold and I took in the two Sphynx! So excited! Not so exciting was the shape these cats were in. EB was missing an eye, has partial blindness in the other eye, been declawed on all four paws had such severe anxiety and collitis, she was having bloody stool accidents all over our home. The Dude had HCM and a severe upper respiratory infection and could barely breath. Unfortunately, the Scottish Fold wasn't so lucky and my friend had to pay to euthanize the poor cat. Her vet told her he had all the signs of being in a hoarding situation. I later found out the woman who had the cats also placed two Sphynx's at another home that she was supposedly sending to the Bahamas. Whomever took these cats in, put them in a spare bathroom and they starved to death. Since I had EB and the Dude (original names Athena and Osiris), I got them both to the vet and back to health. I would go for months without hearing from this woman and then she would call and say how are my cats? I stopped returning her calls at this point because the cats were doing really well and my husband and I decided they would live the rest of their lives comfortable and loved. The Dude became a mama's boy and EB is definitely a daddy's girl! Unfortunately, the Dude developed cancer and passed in November 2014 and I was crushed. EB is still giving us unconditional love and following her daddy like a shadow. I am just happy they were/are able to be loved and happy considering where they started. I love my naked kids! Furry ones too :-)

DAT SALMONIt looks amazing. Seriously, you made me want it like mad.
As for the rest of your meals... Love it. Breakfast looks good. Is that raw onion? Your taste buds are... interesting :P Your post-workout cottage cheese dish sounds GREAT! How much better was it with the dried fruit mix ins? I love dried fruit, myself. Heavenly. I've never had spaghetti squash... before... and I like the consumption of goat cheese.
My one criticism or comment I will make here is: I think you should have a had a greater carb source along with that salmon. Have you ever baked your own potato chips? That should be a mound of potatoes and starch alongside that protein, dude, especially after a day of deadlifts! You can do so many things with them. Boil them, bake them and top with cottage cheese, bake them into wedges/fries - lately I've been frying mine, and they're amazing! Sub out some of that squash for a good source of starch if you can next time. Not only does your body need the calories (especially after those lifts), but I get the feeling that - if you're anything like me, anyway - you'll really enjoy them.
What's you rgym like? What kinda equipment do you have?
Damn, -2C? That's cold. The coldest I've ever been was when I was out hunting with my girlfriends stepfather in the mountains. Ended up somehow gettin glutened and puking and crapping everywhere. It was messy. But he said he could hav never imagined a little guy could puke so much. Compliment? :3
I think I've heard of Volare, actually! I've been watching Luther with my sister. Well, I was, but now we finished it - I highly recommend it.
Have a great one, Adrian, and keep it up!

Historical Traveler Reviews Vincci Maritimo Barcelona
Beautiful, well-designed hotel
I spent three nights at the Vincci Maritimo with my boyfriend from 25 november - 28 november. The hotel is really gorgeous - I've stayed all over Europe and it is honestly the first and only hotel that looks as beautiful as it does on its website - and better. The details of design in the room, common areas, and bathrooms are truly spectacular. That showerhead is the most amazing I've ever seen! We spent 80 euro/night, and even though it wasn't on Las Ramblas, we sure weren't paying Las Ramblas prices. It is sooo close to the Metro that you can get to Las Ramblas and the rest of the city in 10 minutes. We're young (20s) so it was nice to be closer to the clubs and bars on the beach. I definitely recommend this place. Enjoy!
We booked this Hotel after reading the reviews and it being one of the only hotels that would accomodate our 2 small children in the same room as us (they did this free of charge). This was my 4th trip this year to Barcelona and this time I was returning with friends and their children for 3 nights and they had left the accomodation booking to me - my only reservation before I booked was that it was too far out of the centre. Upon arrival we were not disappointed - the hotel staff were very polite, the rooms and hotel were very clean and the extra beds for the children were in the rooms as promised. The beds were HUGE and the rooms were very modern with the bathroom reviews not disappointing (glass sink, thick grey slate floors and the biggest shower Ive ever seen!). Breakfast was an extra €11 each but was well worth it and the children ate free so we did not eat again until 6pm because we were so full. The metro was 1 minute walk from the hotel which was another experience not to be missed and put England to shame. The trains came every 4 minutes and were 7 stops to the Ramblas (10 mins). 10 trip ticket was €6, they ran until midnight and were very clean and safe. Immediately left to the hotel was a shopping mall with eateries, cinemas and bars and the Olympic port with its vibrant nightlife was 3 metro stops away. I will definitely be returning here and highly recommend it to anyone - I just love this place!!
Great Hotel, Ok Staff, Bad Soundproofing.
First impressions of this hotel were very good, the interior design of both the room and the common areas were indeed impressive. The cleanliness was of a high standard and the finish of the room and bathroom was excellent.
Unfortunately the soundproofing was forgotten in this otherwise great design and you realy could hear every word and movement of the other guests and staff.
The ironing service was very bad, the staff were rude and after promising to iron 5 items of clothes in 25 minutes 2 items were returned 2 hours later with the remaining 3 items which were handed over on hangers, screwed up in a ball in a plastic bag, we were charged 12 euro for this service.
However, having read the comments of the other reviewers of this hotel, it is my belife that we were just unlucky with our room and the staff on this occasion and this well priced and presented hotel probably deserves a second chance when we next visit Barcelona.
Exactly What I Expected
Book it now. I stayed at the Vincci Maritimo at the end of May 2004. My main reason for choosing the hotel was the lack of negative reviews on this site, and I wasn't disappointed. The staff were friendly but professional, even humoring me by allowing me to practise my dire Spanish. The room was exactly what I was expecting: spotless, modern and stylish, comfortable, air conditioned, and with a huge bed and a decent shower. Access to the centre of town was a relaxing stroll along the seafront or a few minutes on the cheap metro, which is literally less than a minute away around the corner. (We didn't eat in the hotel, but only because there were so many tapas bars and restaurants we wanted to try in town.) In fact, I'm not writing this to add anything that hasn't already been said; I just want to add one more positive review to the site so that other people can benefit the way I have. (Like others on this site, I found the best rate through the Vincci website - 100 Euros per room per night, which, considering the quality of the hotel, was a bargin.)
Highly Recommended
Not ideally situated if you want to be in the centre of town but we didn't. It was a lovely walk through the park along the sea front to the harbour and then up La Ramblas, particularly on a Sunday morning when all the locals were out in force.
When we stayed in Feb 2004 there was a lot of building work going on around us for the Forum. Once you were in the hotel though it was peaceful and the room was lovely.
Cannot comment on the food as we did not eat in the hotel.
Would definately return, particularly now that all this area has been re-developed.
This is an amazing hotel, for a 4* hotel its really outdone itself in terms of room quality. The room was big, and very modern. Its modernisitic flair was brilliant, the high quality wood panelling to the the highlight of the room which is the frosted glass bathroom. The bathroom was gorgeous, it had a huge shower head and excellent water pressure. The glass sink was just beautiful. The hotel made our barcelona trip just amazing, to come home from a long day and just let the shower wash away your aches and pains.
The only downside to this hotel is its location, the nearest metro station is Salva Del Mar which is a 2 minute walk from the station however the surrounding area looks abit run down as the hotel sits right at the border of the old run-down part of town and the newer more modern part. Although i must admit i never encountered any suspect characters around the area even at 2am.
It is however near to other interesting areas of barcelone like Jaume I and Barcelonetta.
I would definitely stay in this hotel again
Two thumbs up!
Nice hotel on the eastern edge of the city
We stayed at Hotel Vincci Maritimo for one night on Saturday May 8, 2004. The hotel is a modern structure next to a small park on the eastern edge of Barcelona near the newly constructed Forum. We walked to the beach (4 blocks) and were surprised to find a large carnival including booths from various Spanish regions with food, music, and dancing. (The carnival should be there throughout summer 2004.) Aside from this, however, the hotel is quite a bit away from city center and would be somewhat inconvenient for visiting the major tourist sights. A nearby subway stop will easily take you to the Barri Gotti in 15 minutes, but a cab ride is costly and walking would be ambitious if not impossible. The hotel room was very modern, evocative of an Ian Schrager hotel in NY, LA, or London. The furnishings were interesting with a slightly Asian touch, including a backlit nature photo behind the bed and a tall vase with dried stems. The funky bathroom had slate floors, thick glass doors, and an enormous rainfall style showerhead. The major drawback was hard water. The hotel's lobby has a unique sculpture with giant suspended cubes, and each of the floors overlook the lobby. We enjoyed the hotel for an evening, but would recommend something closer to the Barri Gotti or Eixample district if you plan to focus on tourist sights.
Very Pleasant, Modern Hotel.....
Booked this hotel for three nights on the back of the reviews that I read on Trip Advisor.The taxi from the airport to the hotel was � 25. A little more than I would have expected to pay; but as normal when you get into a city that you are not familar with then you just want to get to your hotel as soon as possible.The hotel itself was constructed April 2003 and is part of the Diagonal area of Barcelona. This area offers the best of both worlds, with plenty of open space with the beaches/park closeby but also only 15 munutes or so from the city centre.The check-in was seemless and straightforward with the staff very welcoming. The room was also as I had envisaged. Very modern, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also very good. Buffet style where you could help yourself and always plenty on offer.There is a metro station approx 100 metres away and 15 minutes will take you to the very heart of Barcelona. Transport in this city is first class. The metro is clean, cheap, and frequent.Also closeby is the massive Diagonal-Mar shopping centre. Located here are numerous stores, cinema, and more or less everything that you would require to buy. I bought presents from this mall as it literally had everything under the one roof!Overall, the Vincci Maritimo is a great hotel that has alot to offer and I would not hesitate to book this hotel again on my next visit to this wonderful city.
Stay here with confidence
I checked this site before booking the Vincci Maritimo and was a bit concerned there was only one review. However, it was very positive review and as the price I managed to find was so much better than any other equivalent place I could find at that time, I felt I had to book here. I was not disappointed.The Vincci Maritimo is new, modern and to my mind, a good quality 4* star hotel. The staff we encountered during our stay were professional and helpful. The bedroom we stayed in was both comfortable and clean. The very smart and spacious slate and glass bathroom was kept clean throughout our stay.Breakfast was very good with a large variety of prepared fruits, salads, cereals, breads, cheeses and meats. There was also a variety of cooked eggs to choose from, bacon and sausages.With regard to location, it is around the corner from the Selva Del Mar Metro, which whilst not being central, gets you in to the centre in a matter of minutes (at a cost of 1.10 Euro). It is only a couple of minutes on foot to the seaside and close enough to the Olympic Port area that after a night out you can make a pleasant stroll back once the Metro has stopped running at midnight.Booked directly with the Hotel website and got a special 90 Euro a night rate with breakfast (total price for 2 people). Expedia could only offer �94 pounds per night.
The Fantastic Vincci Barcelona Maritimo Hotel
What a fabulous hotel! The hotel was booked via an agency and I was unsure, but no worries, the hotel is beautiful - very modern, very clean, very helpful and friendly staff, it was a very pleasant stay.
The buffet breakfast is huge, with so much choice. if anyone is unsure about this hotel, as it is a small way out of the centre of the city, dont let that stop you booking it. It is less than 100m from the Metro station, and the trains are very frequent and very cheap. The hotel is just a short walk from the beautiful beaches, and there are plenty of restauants and cafes in the vicinity. Next time I'm in Barcelona, I will definitely be staying here again, just to use the fantastic bathroom (green glass sink and shower walls, huge shower!) GREAT PLACE

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article
