Officials doubt last week's massive blackout was caused by a terrorist or domestic hacker breaking into an electric power system via the Internet. Yet, the incident again brought to the forefront concerns that such an attack is possible.
"This power infrastructure is all Band-Aids and baling wire. And, of course, it's all dependent on computers," says Peter Neumann of research firm SRI International. "This stuff is riddled with security and reliability flaws."
The electric industry is concerned enough that on Wednesday — one day before the blackout — the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) adopted the industry's first-ever cybersecurity standard. It outlines 16 things that utilities should do to protect themselves.
"Some companies have gone well beyond this. Some have to catch up," says Lynn Constantini, NERC's chief information officer.
Yet, because the grid is so interconnected, experts note, companies that must catch up put the whole system at risk. "Most computer networks are only as good as the weakest point," says Ramnath Chellappa, computer business professor at the University of Southern California. As the blackout illustrated, if a hacker could break into one undefended piece of the system, the effects could cascade through the grid.
Some security and energy experts say developments in the past two years actually increase the grid's vulnerability. Among those:
• Worries about Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Such systems control critical functions in many industrial settings, such as chemical processing and water filtration. They also control the flow of electricity in many power company systems, and are often connected to the Internet so managers can monitor them, collect data and manipulate them from afar. A hacker might not be able to breach a utility's protected central computer but might be able to get into a SCADA system.
The energy industry has opened its systems "to a vast array of cyberdisruptions by creating inadvertent Internet links (both physical and wireless) between their corporate networks and (SCADA) systems," writes Dan Verton in his new book Black Ice: The Invisible Threat of Cyber-Terrorism.
• Competitive pressures on power companies have increased. Since Sept. 11, utilities are two years deeper into deregulation. Verton points out that as utility managers focus on reducing costs, they increasingly use the Internet, just like managers in any industry. That can create more pathways into the power system, or make it possible for a one password to open access to more functions, experts say.
• A study by security company Riptech found that in the six months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, energy companies were cyberattacked at twice the rate of other industries surveyed.
The problems won't go away if the power industry hastily patches the grid to get power back on. Instead, the industry needs to update the system to make it robust enough to survive any problem. "There's a tremendous opportunity here," SRI's Neumann says.

The Three Lives of Thomasina (1963)
directed by
Don Chaffey
featuring Patrick McGoohan, Susan Hampshire, Karen Dotrice, Vincent Winter, Denis Gilmore
Based on a whimsical novel by Paul Gallico, Disney's Three Lives of Thomasina is an imaginative tale of a resourceful cat. Thomasina is the pet of ... Show synopsis Based on a whimsical novel by Paul Gallico, Disney's Three Lives of Thomasina is an imaginative tale of a resourceful cat. Thomasina is the pet of Karen Dotrice, the daughter of taciturn Scottish veterinarian Patrick McGoohan. When Thomasina falls ill, McGoohan coldly diagnoses the cat as suffering from tetanus and declares that the pet must be put out of its misery. As Dotrice and her friends sadly prepare to bury the "dead" Thomasina, backwoods girl Susan Hampshire, who is said to be a witch, shows up and runs off with the kitty corpse. Using equal doses of intuition and love, Hampshire revives Thomasina, who of course wasn't dead at all. While in limbo, Thomasina ascends to Cat Heaven, where her case is heard by the Cat Goddess (this is a wonderful piece of special-effects wizardry, even if you don't like cats). Returned to life, Thomasina has no memory of her previous existence. Thus, the cat runs off in terror when Dotrice sees her again during a torrential downpour. Now it is Dotrice who becomes seriously ill, necessitating a collaboration between the cold, cut-and-dried ministrations of her father and the tender loving care of the "bewitched" Hampshire. As it turns out, Thomasina is the catalyst for both Dotrice's recovery and the film's happy ending. Hal Erickson, Rovi

Event Description
This is quite possibly the hardest of all mountain bike events on the Epic Endurance Bucket List. For perspective, consider that for time-in-the-saddle it's like doing the Leadville 100 three days in a row. There's more climbing than Leadville in Stage 2 alone, and in half the distance!

"Pura Vida!" is what you'll hear over and over from fans and kids and everyone in Costa Rica. It translates to "pure life" but it means more like "enjoy life" or "live life to the fullest". That's the spirit that surrounds La Ruta and it's impossible not to get caught up in it!

Close, but No Cigar (15 of 16) by Steve Wagers
This content is part of a series.Close, but No Cigar (15 of 16)
Series: A Closer Look at the Book: ACTS
Steve N. Wagers
Acts 24-26
November 25, 2007
Sermon Outline
1. Felix: Concerned but not Converted!
A) A Servant He could not Accuse
B) A Season He would not Accept
2. Paul: Confined but not Condemned!
A) His Willingness to Stand on Trial
B) His Willingness to Stand for Truth
3. Agrippa: Confronted but not Convinced!
A) A Supernal Testimony
1) A Happy Man
2) A Hopeful Man
B) An Eternal Truth
The phrase, "Close, but No Cigar," is of US origin and dates from the mid-20th century. Fairground stalls gave out cigars as prizes, and the owners of livestock that did not receive a blue ribbon were handed a cigar instead.
It is first recorded in print in Sayre and Twist's publishing of the script of the 1935 film version of Annie Oakley: "Close, Colonel, but no cigar!"
It appeared in U. S. newspapers widely from around 1949 onwards. For example, a story from The Lima News, (Ohio) November 1949, where The Lima House Cigar and Sporting Goods Store narrowly avoided being burned down in a fire, was titled 'Close But No Cigar'. [1]
As I ponder the events of Acts 24-26, the phrase that immediately pops into my mind is, "Close, but No Cigar." There are 3 main character in these chapters; Paul the Apostle, Felix the Governor, and Agrippa the King.
Paul had just stood toe-to-toe with the council in Jerusalem with a "good conscience before God." Many of the devout Jews hated Paul's message because of its challenge to their orthodox system.
Thus, they had spread many slanderous rumors and accusations about Paul which caused the leaders to step in to investigate their claims. However, up to this point they could find nothing on Paul, because there was nothing to find.
Paul was guilty of nothing but preaching Christ, proclaiming Christ, presenting Christ, promoting Christ and pleasing Christ.
The council arranges for Paul to be sent to Caesarea to stand before ...

Another Solar Innovation-The Spherical Sun Power Generator
From Alternative Energy News
German Architect Andre Broessel believes he has a solution that can "squeeze more juice out of the sun", even during the night hours and in low-light regions. His company Rawlemon has created a spherical sun power generator prototype called the beta.ray. His technology will combine spherical geometry principles with a dual axis tracking system. The futuristic design is fully rotational and is suitable for inclined surfaces, walls of buildings, and anywhere with access to the sky. It can even be used as an electric car charging station.

Troon: The world's top golfers have been quick to praise the Royal Troon Golf Course, which will play host to the 133rd Open Championship in Scotland later this week. The first round gets underway early on Thursday and some of the biggest names in golf have expressed their satisfaction with what they believe will be a fair test of their ability. Star-studded cast A star-studded cast has assembled at the links course on the west coast of Scotland, with none of the world's top players missing from a top quality field.

see: logan jackson photography. i know i kept saying this, but i just don't know how young photographers these days take such great photos AND self portraits. and yes, lots of them are self taught too. i need to learn from these guys how to take good portraits!
can you believe it's the end of january already? i feel that i haven't done much yet this year, i know it's still 11 months ahead to go but new years resolutions don't seem to be working for me. i think i need to set up some short term goals instead (realistic ones). how are you going with your resolutions?
8 comments
i <3 both the first and third photos, they're beautiful. photographers/artists/bloggers they all seem to be getting younger and younger but just as talented, its pretty amazing.ReplyDelete
hm, i do have realistic resolutions, i just don't have the drive to do them everyday. maybe try marking it in your calender? i have form i downloaded (i can't remember where, sorry) where you colour in each day you've done.
i know! i need to learn how to take amazing portraits tooReplyDelete
and my resolutions are going really well for once.. my one adventure a week is proving tough but its definitely a ton of fun :)
wow, those photos are amazing! i need to learn how to take good photos too :)ReplyDelete
i cant believe it's nearly february too! it's going by so quickly
Me too, I totally agree.ReplyDelete
Photographers are so young these days and most of them are really good. I've been digging into Photography lately but I just can't get the self portraits down.

ohhh inspiration.ReplyDelete
thank you thank you thank you.
I know, I wish I had half their talents!ReplyDelete

Segafredo on Lincoln Road Celebrates 8 Years
Lincoln Road's Segafredo Cafe has always been sort of the place that you could only find in South Beach; it's part Euro-centric cafe, part chic lounge. But even with its dual personality, it is as much as a place to party as it is a place to grab a bit to eat or hot cup of espresso and maybe that's why patrons have kept the business profitable that tonight the cafe-lounge celebrates 8 years of existence.
The party starts at 7 p.m. and those who stop by can enjoy "an endless flow" of Cin Cin prosecco (not sure if that's keyword for "open bar") as well as other goodies. It's a '70s theme, so come dress appropriately if you want to party.

I'm afraid that a lot more information than that will be necessary to diagnose this problem. Can you fill in whatever you know about the network and where SpiceWorks is running, what "crashes out" means. What the dialog is that you are refering to, etc.
Mar 12, 2009 at 2:00 UTC
Spiceworks is running on a Dell 2950 Win2k3 Server
At times when I attempt a device/range scan of any particular node, Spiceworks becomes totally unresponsive and has to be restarted, including the server it's installed on.
Network Scans become hung indefinitely in the ranges of 3 to 6% and authentication looks to be failing on all machines regardless of no changes to previously known good configurations.
I have roughly 60 machines on my network.
Mar 12, 2009 at 7:09 UTC
I stumbled across someting while looking through the logs. It was hanging on a few machines that's names were resolving to outside addresses (i.e. workstation name ups was looking for ups.com IP)! I've since removed them from the scan and it seems to be moving along now. Now I must hunt for how it would resolve outside rather than in.

With over 12 million children under the age of five enrolled in child cares in the United States, two Penn State programs are collaborating to give child care professionals the tools they need to provide safe early learning environments for children across the nation and world.
Mice and other rodents are not big fans of the cold, so during the winter months they seek shelter in our homes, sneaking in through cracks and crevices and leaving their tell-tale droppings behind. Give them the boot following these steps.
The IPM Practitioner's 2013 Directory of Least-Toxic Pest Control Products is now available online.
It is that time of year when we spend more time indoors. This can lead to more clutter, which can provide a perfect winter home for pests. Signs of infestations include: droppings, gnaw marks on baseboards, holes chewed in materials, and shredded paper stashes in corners or behind/under appliances and fixtures.
In this issue . . . Slugfest in Field Crops: New Project to Battle Pests; Uninvited Guests: Mice; Online Training Emphasizes Safe Child Cares; Updated Pest Fact Sheets Now Available; IPM Directory Available; International Degree Spawns Student Seminars; Useful Websites; Upcoming Events
As wicked cold temperatures blanket the region, many bugs search for a warm, cozy place to survive the winter. While some — such as the noisy and often clumsy brown marmorated stink bug — are easy to spot, others can be quite discrete as they find places to hide inside a house. Enter the flea.
Scientists and biotechnology companies are developing what could become the next powerful weapon in the war on pests — one that harnesses a Nobel Prize-winning discovery to kill insects and pathogens by disabling their genes.
Slugs are one of the most challenging pests faced by no-till field crop growers in the Northeast, but a new Penn State project is looking to contain these pests while benefiting the environment.
Four pesticides commonly used on crops to kill insects and fungi also kill honeybee larvae within their hives, according to Penn State and University of Florida researchers. The team also found that N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) -- an inert, or inactive, chemical commonly used as a pesticide additive -- is highly toxic to honeybee larvae.
As far as historian Etienne Benson can determine, the nation's great squirrel experiment began in 1847 in Philadelphia, when three of the plucky rodents — a wildlife novelty at the time — were released into Franklin Square.
Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day! We'd appreciate it if they'd leave our structures alone! Here are some management tips.
"Dear Diary..." We've had some fun: We collected pages from the private diaries of pests and turned them into an annual report. We invite you to get to know some of the pests we face and learn about the Northeastern IPM Center's role in supporting IPM solutions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 300,000 Americans contract Lyme disease annually, with the number of tick-borne infections growing. WPSU-TV's next installment of "Conversations LIVE" examines the treatment and prevention of Lyme disease. Joining host Patty Satalia are Steve Jacobs, Meryl Littman and Barbara Ostrov, all subject experts.
Amanda, 6, poses in her Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment. Amanda's mother, Rossana de la Cuadra, has had mold in the bathroom of the apartment on and off for most of the 14 years that she's lived there. She believes the mold may be a contributing factor Amanda's asthma. Rossana de la Cuadra and Jose Santos are fighting their landlord to provide an asthma-safe environment for their sick daughter.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday announced it is continuing to focus on further development of integrated pest management practices through three new awards in a recurring grant program.
Two Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences graduate students are building upon their international experiences by conducting a new graduate seminar series on tropical entomology.
As part of a USDA NE SARE grant, Penn State entomology students have created a number of natural enemy videos and posted them to the "Pests and Natural Enemies" YouTube channel.
Populations of European corn borer (ECB), a major corn crop pest, have declined significantly in the eastern United States, according to Penn State researchers. The decline suggests that the use of genetically modified, ECB-resistant corn hybrids -- an expensive, yet effective, solution that has been widely adopted by farmers -- may now be unnecessary in some areas.
Pests and rodents aren't simply a nuisance - they can severely affect your health and the health of your family. This is why bug and insect prevention is critical in protecting homes, businesses, schools and any other place where human beings live, work or play from a pest infestation.
WPSU intern LIndsay Jordan attended Penn State's Great Insect Fair held earlier this fall and files this report.

MassDOT Secretary Richard A. Davey today announced the 2014 Pothole and Winter Recovery Program to support and accelerate the repair of potholes and other damage caused by the recent severe winter weather. The $40 million one-time program will assist all municipalities and MassDOT in performing necessary repairs on state and local roadways and facilities.
"We experienced an extraordinary winter season that caused damage to our roads, bridges, and vehicles well beyond the typical year," said MassDOT Secretary and CEO Richard A. Davey. "This one-time, targeted program will speed repair and recovery and maintain safe travel for motorists."
"Our cities and towns already challenged by what seemed to be never ending snow and ice removal now face higher than expected costs in fixing streets, signs, and other transportation facilities," said MassDOT Highway Division Administrator Frank DePaola. "These funds to be spent immediately this spring and summer will allow all communities to make the most basic and necessary repairs and provide quick improvements for the traveling public."
The $40 million program includes $30 million allocated to all municipalities according to the same Chapter 90 formula used to provide longer term local road and bridge project funds. MassDOT will receive $10 million to address the greater than normal winter damage to Interstate highways and other state roads.
The Pothole and Winter Recovery Program is funded through existing FY2014 authorizations available to the department prior to the expected passage of the Transportation Bond Bill and requires all work to be completed by September of 2014.
MassDOT also appreciates the public's help throughout this winter season in reporting pothole locations on state roads, allowing repairs to be made as quickly as possible.
If you see a pothole, please call MassDOT at 857-DOT-INFO (857-368-4636), Toll Free at 877-MA-DOT-GOV (877-623-6846), or visit our online contact information web page to send us an e-mail.

Theophagy is the practice of eating the body of a god. This is sometimes performed symbolically through the eating of a food or material symbolic of the god. In fertility rituals, the harvested grain may itself be the reborn god of vegetation. This practice has origins in many ancient religions. Dionysus and many examples are documented in The Golden Bough by Sir James George Frazer (1854-1941). Vestiges survive in many modern religions, notably in the Christian eucharist.

LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two years after Lehman Brothers imploded and sparked trillions of dollars in bailouts, restructuring experts face a situation few dared predict: a glut of cash and less pressure on companies to restructure.
The number of companies unable to make debt payments has tumbled and vulture funds that seek out bargains in the corporate scrap heap are finding thin pickings. Some restructuring executives have more leisure time than they might have wished for.
"It's much quieter than most bankruptcy professionals would have predicted ... if you asked them a year ago," said Richard Hahn, a bankruptcy attorney at Debevoise & Plimpton in New York.
"Still I think there are a lot of problems lurking out there that will have to be dealt with eventually. There's a large amount of debt that has to be refinanced in some way."
Top restructuring experts, bankruptcy attorneys and distressed investors will address the outlook for struggling companies at the Reuters Restructuring Summit in New York and London this week. The specialists will examine which industries might be next in line and what steps can be taken to shore up weakened firms, as well what might be attractive investments.
For distressed U.S. companies the outlook has brightened dramatically over the past year. The amount of U.S. distressed debt tumbled to $65 billion as of last month, having peaked at $398 billion in December 2008, according to Standard & Poor's, as a roaring bond market drives down yields.
The biggest bankruptcy of 2010, Corus Bankshares Inc, would not have cracked the top 15 of 2009 which included huge filings by General Motors GM.UL, CIT and General Growth Properties.
However, professionals caution that a decline in financial stress should not be taken as a sign of a corporate recovery.
"The lack of yields ... which flows from the zero interest rate policy has permitted still-undeserving companies to access capital," said Peter Kaufman of the Gordian Group.
That easy money has helped lower the "wall of maturities" -- the hundreds of billions of loans and debts due in the next few years. Analysts have been warning that unless addressed soon, corporate America faces mass defaults.
A large numbers of companies also have benefitted from the practice of "amend and pretend" -- altering credit agreements as default deadlines approach while hoping for a pickup in demand to rescue the ailing company.
Still, structural problems remain: frugal U.S. consumers, high joblessness and a badly hobbled housing market. Companies may be able to refinance and get a year or two of breathing room, but unless growth picks up, problems loom.
Outside the United States, even refinancing prospects are less certain.
"Underperforming businesses have not yet been caught out, partly because some of them don't have covenants or have very loose ones, and these will hit a wall," said Scott Pinfield, managing director at Alvarez & Marsal in London.
These pressures have yet to fully materialize, however, while even the scarce mandates available across the wider EMEA region, like the blockbuster one for Dubai World DBWLD.UL, are drying up.
A fresh wave of economic anxiety across western Europe, meanwhile, has until now triggered scant work for the advisory boutiques which sprang up when the financial crisis gripped.
Even the uphill struggle faced by the likes of Ireland to restructure its banks has generated little work for restructuring experts, with few roles available in what has become a government-dominated exercise.
"There are some interesting times coming up in the UK with the spending review (on October 20)," said Pinfield. "It is likely to have a knock-on impact on suppliers in the public sector, and the supply chain of companies related to them."
Despite bank lenders' reluctance to let go troubled debt, investors are also hoping to start picking up good deals again.
"We're moving into another phase in the next two to three years," said Robin Doumar of Park Square Capital in London. "Companies which can't outgrow their debt structures will start running out of time."

Game of Thrones is back for its sixth season on the 24th of April 2016, and things are about to get even more epic, if that's possible.
There are a whole load of plot threads to tidy up from last season, though if previous experience is anything to go by they're just going to get messier and bloodier and end up with lots of people dead. The final trailer for the new season has just dropped and its a delicious blend of dread and death, with a cast of characters that's become so broad that it's a bit of a shouty soap opera at times. Check it out.
What the heck is happening with Arya? Is Sansa finally going to step up? What is Tyrion up to now and seriously all this Jon Snow stuff is getting ridiculous. And then there are dragons, and we can't wait to see what happens with them. This new material has mostly outpaced George R.R. Martin's books at this stage so literally anyone is fair game for a sudden death, though hopefully the creative sorts are paying attention to the characters we really want to see continue.
Game of Thrones season 6 debuts on the 24th of April on HBO in the States and will be on Sky Atlantic in Ireland on the 25th.

Can publication work against an applicant to an MFA in Creative Writing program -- is it possible to be considered too experienced? I was rejected last year with a portfolio that included several published pieces (novel excerpt, short fiction and non-fiction.) I don't think I came off as arrogant in my cover letter, but I probably sounded more confident than I am -- I have a lot to learn and badly want to learn it.
Applying Again
AA, it might work against you, so I'd be sure to address it in your personal statement. Do so directly, clearly, and briefly. Focus on what you'd like to get out of the MFA experience. I like that last sentence of yours: "I have a lot to learn and badly want to learn it." That's the right tone. Don't worry it too much: many have been published before. Unless you come across as arrogant or beyond learning, then I'd be surprised if it cost you a spot. Good luck.

Multihomed Network on MPLS cloud
We have a Hub and Spoke MPLS network with SAP and Email application hosted in IDC.
At remote site we have dual links from different service provider.
Aim is to access the SAP traffic from one link with backup on the other link in case of primary link failure.
Also Email should run from other service provider with backup on the first service provider in case second service provider fails.
How can we achieve this using BGP between CE-PE.
Secondly at few locations we have only few network users approx -10 Nos and we want some users to go out from service provider 1 and the rest on the other service provider with backup on service provider available on given point of time in case either service provider link fails at the remote site.
Pls suggest.

The fastest electric motorcycle can reach 335 km / h
A two-wheeled vehicle was able to reach a speed that will enter the Guinness Book of Records.
Lightning Motorcycles has broken the land speed record for the fastest electric motorcycle.
After running their test this past weekend, Lightning Motorcycles set the record at a top speed of 208.386 mph.
Lightning Motorcycles is a team led by Race-Tech's Paul Thede, a veteran of the Salt Flats. He was the one who rode the bike and established the speed record at 335 km / h.
Thede thus became one of 65 who managed to exceed the speed of 320 km / h at Bonneville. However, he is the only one to have done so on an electric bike.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat has asked officials to speed up repair work of roads en route to the four Himalayan shrines as he will travel by road to the last point of each Char dham yatra to review preparations for this year's pilgrimage. He also asked officials and administration to focus on the senstive zones like Sirobagad and Lambagad and appoint dedicated teams of the PWD if need be.
Rawat has instructed the officials to expedite repairs on the yatra route so that they can be ready before the start of the pilgrimage in April-May.
He also assigned monitoring duties of the different pilgramage routes to senior bureaucrats in an attempt to meet the existing deadlines of the yatra season. The flash floods in 2013 eroded much of the roads on Char dham yatra routes and was catestrophical to Uttarakhand's tourism. Hence robust preparation are underway to ensure that it does not take long to reopen the roads in case of landslides during the yatra season.
He made amply clear that laxity will not be tolerated and has asked officials to review repair work every ten days for a smooth passage of pilgrims. Concerned with the displace families in this operation The Chief Minister has asked officials concerned to identify land for relocating families in the Lambagad village. Additional Secretary Arvind Hyanki has been assigned for Yamunotri route, Additional Chief Secretary, Rakesh Sharma, has been appointed to monitor the repair work of Rudraprayag-Kedarnath route, Commissioner Garhwal is to inspect Badrinath route while IG Garhwal is entrusted with the task of monitoring Gangotri route.

Knowledge about segmental flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is crucial for a better biomechanical understanding, particularly for the development of fusionless, growth-guiding techniques. Currently, there is lack of data in this field. The objective of this study was, therefore, to compute segmental flexibility indices (standing angle minus corrected angle/standing angle). We compared segmental disc angles in 76 preoperative sets of standing and fulcrum-bending radiographs of thoracic curves (paired, two-tailed t tests, p < 0.05). The mean standing Cobb angle was 59.7° (range 41.3°–95°) and the flexibility index of the curve was 48.6% (range 16.6–78.8%). The disc angles showed symmetric periapical distribution with significant decrease (all p values <0.0001) for every cephalad (+) and caudad (−) level change. The periapical levels +1 and −1 wedged at 8.3° and 8.7° (range 3.5°–14.8°), respectively. All angles were significantly smaller on the-bending views (p values <0.0001). We noted mean periapical flexibility indices of 46% (+1), 49% (−1), 57% (+2) and 81% (−2), which were significantly less (p < 0.001) than for the group of remote levels 105% (+3), 149% (−3), 231% (+4) and 300% (−4). The discal and bony wedging was 60 and 40%, respectively, and mean values 35° and 24° (p < 0.0001). Their relationship with the Cobb angle showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.56 and 0.45). Functional, radiographic analysis of idiopathic thoracic scoliosis revealed significant, homogenous segmental tethering confined to four periapical levels. Future research will aim at in vivo segmental measurements in three planes under defined load to provide in-depth data for novel therapeutic strategies.

When I first saw the title of Anja's project, I felt a bit thick....maybe because I am not a dog owner, I've missed out on the doxie (doggy) trend, so I actually had to Google it in order to see what was going down. When I did, I ended up finding some of the most hideous decorations known to man....and I own a glittery squirrel. I had no idea what to expect. Although I DID suspect that whatever she had made was bound to be heaps cuter than what I had already seen. Then I realised I was spelling it incorrectly (doxxy) and was more pleasantly surprised to find a breed of dog. I (It is so worth googling 'doxxy ornament' to see what this COULD have been). Thankfully, for all of us, Anja's doxIE ornament is EXACTLY what you all need this Christmas. Here she is now to talk you through it:
My mind has been all over the place lately - and definitely nowhere near Christmas mode. Anyway, this month's Craft Challenge is for Christmas. So I had to come up with something, right?
Christmas in our home is a mix between traditional and whimsical. For example, I have all the classic Christmas ornaments from my grandma, but they share the tree with all kinds of adorable not-so-traditional ones: the Eiffel tower, turquoise toadstools, a silver pick-up truck... in a blue, white and silver extravaganza. That's why I decided to create some doxie Christmas ornaments this year.

Florida sheriff: Parents of alleged bully should be charged
Florida sheriff Grady Judd says the parents of a 14-year-old-girl arrested for bullying another student, who ended up taking her own life, should be charged for failing to monitoring their daughter's online activity. Some legal experts say that unless it can be proved that the parents encouraged the behavior, a crime cannot be established. NBC's Mark Potter reports.

For just about every mission, you'll have two or three partners along for the ride. You can order them around using the E key -- point your reticule at an onscreen spot, click the button and the team will move there -- but most of the time your teammates are going to just run into battle, stand there, get shot and lay on the ground until you've beaten all of the foes. Hell, if it wasn't for your own inability to open doors -- you have to order your teammates to kick-in or blow-in entry ways -- there'd be no reason for their existence.
Look at my late-game battle with one of the game's Fire Brutes. This huge turtle-like bastard with a head that can shoot lasers is laying waste to an open area in the Nevada base, and it's up to me to stop it. Now, at this point in the game, I've tussled with this type of creature before. They're huge, but they have a giant weak spot on their back -- don't bother thinking that's a spoiler, the game'll tell you how to beat the things as soon as they show up on screen -- so all I've got to do is get to the baddie's backside and fire a rocket.
The first time we went toe-to-toe, I was alone and had to run through blown-out buildings and dodge body-slicing lasers. It was frantic and simplistic but fun. This time though, I had two teammates with me. We saw the bad guy, the team announced that I should provide a distraction, and they ran to their positions. I climbed into a jeep, began driving around the creature and the sparse cover, and the big guy never took his eye off me. Meanwhile, my team sat behind sandbags and buildings while screaming at me to shoot the brute. Okay. No big deal. Maybe I'd get the rocket launcher and the team would provide the distraction.
I got the gun, and the brute kept on watching me and my team kept on sitting there. How many times would I have to die, wait for the game to reload and have to repeat the same frustrating process over and over until the dumb villain finally lost sight of me and allowed me to shoot him in the back?
Wow. What fun.
The brute isn't the only brain-dead opponent you'll be put up against in BlackSite -- in fact, the final boss is just as stupid and a bigger letdown. I'll set the stage: the government has sealed off this astrodome that used to be the base for its twisted alien experiments. You've battled huge beasts, exploding-ball spitting snakes and now you're inside this dome destroying level after level of repeating enemies as you make your way to the ground floor and the final boss. You get there, and the game grinds to a halt. You have to walk around a giant centrifuge dodging a slow-moving laser and killing bad guys. You stop the laser, move to the centrifuge's center and prepare for the final showdown -- the culmination of the game's six episodes and 34 missions.
The boss stands in the middle of the room; you hide behind a pillar and jump out to shoot him. He doesn't move. I beat him by moving slightly to the right so that I could hit him without him hitting me and shot him five times in the knee until he died.
What a formidable opponent.
Beyond my additional single-player complaints -- the PC version is really framey but has less pop-in than the 360 -- there is an online-only multiplayer mode for you and nine of your friends to duke it out in, but the modes -- deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, abduction -- stick with the game's theme of blah. The levels are wide and airy with armor and damage powerups, but there's nothing that stands out. There's no co-op (online or offline), you can't capture the enemy's flag if your team's banner isn't at the base, and CTF is only available on two of the eight maps. There is a new abduction mode -- if you're human, stay alive to remain a human; if you're a reborn soldier, kill the humans to make them reborns -- but it's hardly a purchase-saving feature.
The fact of the matter is that BlackSite: Area 51 is just like every other run-of-the-mill FPS out there. You can find better multiplayer in Crysis, you can find a better storyline in Bioshock, and you can find a livelier environment in just about anything. The game underperforms in every aspect, and although that doesn't make it bad, it certainly makes it a major disappointment for everyone who was anxiously awaiting this game's debut.

Meet Shadow! He was rescued in late 2013 when he was surrendered by a homeless person who could not give him the quality of life he deserved. He seems to be about 3-4 years old, we believe he is a Doxie/Chi mix. He is house broken, a great travel buddy. great with dogs of all size (as long as they don't mind him trying to be the boss hehe) great with kids of all ages and he is the biggest sweetheart! The perfect home for Shadow would be a home where he has plenty other dogs/kids to play with, goes on walks, likes to cuddle, likes to travel and take him with, a home where he wouldn't feel left out and would be very much apart of the family!
Shadow has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on all vaccinations.
If you would like to schedule a play date with our Shadow please contact us today! :-)
After I went down there I saw the horrendous conditions the animals were living in; I yelled, screamed, demanded these animals get the proper care, called the news, I did everything I could to be their voice. I located the Basset Hound, he was sad and depressed; looked to be about 12 and not in good health. After the vet took a look at him she told me, "Ma'am this dog is very old and sick; he may have to be on medicine the rest of his life...." I knew what she was getting at; I told her I was aware of his condition and I was trying to SAVE him. They released him to me on a medical waiver and we strutted out of there with our heads held high! (as high as any basset could be) ;-)
We named him Gramps.
I took Gramps immediately to the groomer for some much needed R&R. After about an hour of deep cleaning the groomer was finished and had told me she had never seen so many ticks on a dog. I took Grampsy straight to the vet to get him properly evaluated. He was put on antibiotics for extreme bladder infection and they did some lab work to see what kind of shape he was in internally... he came back perfectly healthy! The vet said that after some TLC and antibiotics he was healthy enough to get neutered and have a dental.. he had 7 teeth pulled! She even said that she would only put him at about 8 age wise. Not only did we save Gramps' life but we shed 4 years off his age!!
Gramps was almost a casualty and the shelter due to lack of funds, staff and concern for his well-being. Did they not see him urinating blood? Did they not see he was covered in tics? Or did they just not care? Gramps is living the good life in New Meixco now at All Ears Basset Sanctuary. He even lives with the owner and goes to work with her everyday. But before Gramps left I walked him into the Animal Control Commission meeting and made them look at him. I made them stare into the face of this sweet soul they thought wasn't worth saving. He was a hit! Everyone loved him, the members of the commission could see the appreciation in his eyes. His appreciation of life and of me for saving him.
I made complaint after complaint about how everything was handled. From the office staff to the conditions the animals were living in. I was even threatened to be "escorted" off the property. Why? Because I was fighting for these creatures? The shelter supervisor made the wrong comment in the end.. he said, "If someone doesn't like it how about they come and volunteer then." And THAT is exactly what I did....
I volunteer twice a week at the shelter now. I am an extra pair of eyes and ears. I am a voice for the animals, a voice for the employees that work so hard and for so little. I attend the monthly animal control commission meetings and have been known to take matters to the Board of Supervisors when needed.
My journey has just begun and sometimes it does feel like I'm David vs. Goliath; but when I look into the eyes of those defenseless animals and I see that they look to us for help, how can you walk by without doing something? Whenever I feel overwhelmed I look at a picture of Gramps' face, I look at his "freedom pic" taken right after I bailed him out.. and I remember that feeling. Complete freedom and bliss.
After the adoption application has been approved we will setup a date and time for a home visit and schedule a meet and greet with your other pets and immediate family members, if applicable.
If everything goes smoothly with the home visit and meet & greet all that is left is the paperwork and adoption fee (which vary anywhere from $100-200) and you are ready to start your new lives together with your new furrever friend.
Thank You!
