A new range of resources for schools to introduce children to shipping and the lives of seafarers has been launched. Written by teachers and produced by the seafarers' charity Apostleship of the Sea (AoS), in association with Ten Ten Theatre, the resources are aimed at KS2 and KS3 students.
The downloadable resources include lesson plans and assemblies that are both easy to use and engaging for students. Powerpoints and teacher guidance notes are included.
Each lesson follows a simple structure and includes clear objectives and learning outcomes. It has been designed around the national curriculum and gives students the opportunity to learn about the world of shipping and seafarers and how the Apostleship of the Sea is helping to support seafarers worldwide.
John Green, AoS Director of Development said, 'the subject of the sea and the lives of seafarers touches many aspects of the national curriculum and is a fundamental part of this country's heritage', he continued 'these attractive and engaging resources, written by teachers, will capture the excitement of the sea and the lives of seafarers, a world that is often so close to children from seaside trips and ferry crossings, but relatively unknown to them.'
The resources were produced in association with Ten Ten Theatre. Ten Ten aim to communicate the richness of the Church's experience in human relationships and engaging with the modern world. Martin O'Brien, Artistic Director of Ten Ten, said he was 'proud' to be collaborating with the Apostleship of the Sea and 'bringing closer this hidden world and work of the church within it to children and young people.'

Gameloft: Dungeon Hunter 2 iPhone hands-onPocket-lint
Set 25 years after the first game, Dungeon Hunter 2 has a wonderfully transparent and simple plot. Even the Gameloft product sheet keeps it as basic as can be: "You are one of the immortal king's sons. Survive a war, escape from prison, and travel across your realm to save everything!" That's it.
To be honest, that's all you need, because the fun with DH2 is in the exploration. And even more so in multiplayer.
The best new feature with this sequel is the ability to play through the entire campaign with up to three friends, as four adventurers can take part at the same time. Dungeon Hunter 2 also runs equally as well (if not quite so fancy in the graphics department) on a 3GS or 3rd Gen iPod touch (as long as they have iOS 3.1.2 or higher), so you don't all need iPhone 4s or iPod touch 4Gs.
To prove it works, Pocket-lint played on an iPhone 4 while a Gameloft representative played on a 3GS, and, we have to be honest, he was doing a bit better than us. There was no lag in play whatsoever.
If you're playing solo, you will be joined by computer aided NPCs, and the powered-up fairies from the first game have made the leap across, to keep you further company.
Graphics, on the retina display at least, have made a major leap up in quality though, with lighting effects being superbly rendered. The game is as colourful as before, just far more atmospheric, and spells look better when unleashed.
Additionally, levels are bigger than before; up to five times bigger. And there are more enemies, areas and quests to complete. Plus, if you fancy a bit of replay action, the dungeons shift about, so the layout differs each time you play.
The final major improvement is in character classes. Where you start, like in the first Dungeon Hunter, with Warrior, Rogue or Mage classes, they can be further enhanced after you reach Level 12. Then you will be offered more specific specialisations, such as Berserker, Death Walker and Archer. So, that will add further replay value, if you want to do the game with a different character style. Lots of it.
Dungeon Hunter 2 will be coming for iPhone and iPod touch initially (before Christmas) and iPad later. It'll be in the same ball park, price-wise, as other Gameloft titles (around £3.99).

Gentoo Gets an Installer
Almost as though they heard my suggestions, Gentoo now has an installer. It's not included on an official Live DVD just yet, but it just might next release.
Wiktor W Brodlo has ported the Red Hat Anaconda installer from Sabayon to work with Gentoo. You can either install it in the live Gentoo environment or you can roll it up in a new Gentoo ISO.

3 open source alternatives to Office 365
It can be hard to get away from working and collaborating on the web. Doing that is incredibly convenient: as long as you have an internet connection, you can easily work and share from just about anywhere, on just about any device. The main problem with most web-based office suites—like Google Drive, Zoho Office, and Office365—is that they're closed source. Your data also exists at the whim of large corporations. I'm sure you've heard numerous stories of, say, Google locking or removing accounts without warning. If that happens to you, you lose what's yours. So what's an open source advocate who wants to work with web applications to do? You turn to an open source alternative, of course. Let's take a look at three of them.
Hackable voice-controlled speaker and IoT controller hits KS
SeedStudio's hackable, $49 and up "ReSpeaker" speaker system runs OpenWrt on a Mediatek MT7688 and offers voice control over home appliances. The ReSpeaker went live on Kickstarter today and has already reached 95 percent of its $40,000 funding goal with 29 days remaining. The device is billed by SeedStudio as an "open source, modular voice interface that allows us to hack things around us, just using our voices." While it can be used as an Internet media player or a voice-activated IoT hub — especially when integrated with Seeed's Wio Link IoT board — it's designed to be paired with individual devices. For example, the campaign's video shows the ReSpeaker being tucked inside a teddy bear or toy robot, or attached to plant, enabling voice control and voice synthesis. Yes, the plant actually asks to be watered.

Irish Blogger Gathering: Beat Bama Edition
Jan 5, 2013, 8:43 AM EDT
So this is it…the moment you've all been waiting for.
Nope, not the highly anticipated matchup between #1 Notre Dame and #2 Alabama, but rather, Subway Domer's take on the big game in the final Irish Blogger Gathering of the season.
It has been great fun to participate in this year's IBG, along with Subway Domer, the Her Loyal Sons blog team and Keith Arnold from NBC's Inside The Irish. Beginning all the way back in September, we've traded questions about Irish football each week during Notre Dame's incredible ride to the BCS championship.
As you prepare for the biggest Notre Dame football game in almost 25 years, here are Subway Domer's thoughts on Monday night…
Everyone seems to be talking about the Notre Dame front seven vs. the Alabama offensive line, and the play of Irish quarterback Everett Golson. Are there any other match-ups or x-factors you are particularly looking forward to watching?
Those of course are obvious choices, and not because of the usual journalistic laziness that accompanies a football game, but because those are clearly the strengths for both teams and they will be going at it all night. However it is truly good, right, and salutary that we should remember in all times and in all places, that this is a TEAM game and I gladly lift up this cup to toast those "X" factors.
Notre Dame's Receivers: Can Notre Dame's receivers match the physicality of the Alabama defensive backs? Will they be able to get off the line of scrimmage? Will they be able to get seperation while running their routes? Will they be able to physically handle the Alabama secondary during a run play? If this group can do these things, it will give the Irish offense that much more of a better chance to move the ball and score on a very good Crimson Tide defense.
Notre Dame's Safeties: It's no big secret that Alabama will want to try and pound the football and then look to go vertical with the play-action pass. This is what has made McCarron so efficient all season. Can Farley and Motta handle this attack? Can they provide the much needed run support while also patrolling the deep halves of the field? The Irish safeties have been pretty darn stout all season – can they handle and control this assault? If they can, Bama is in for a rough night and will look much like the other offenses that tried this attack this season… STOPPED.
Between the ND fans and ND haters, the Alabama fans and Alabama haters, and the SEC fans and SEC haters, It's safe to say Monday will be one of the most watched college football games of all time. What kind of message would a Fighting Irish victory send to the sports world?
As much as Irish fans believe that Notre Dame football is essentially "back," there is no way to convince much of the nation of this (let alone the haters) unless this season ends with a win over the SEC champ & defending national champ for the National Championship. That's it. Otherwise the "overrated" talk hits – regardless of how the game played out.
MESSAGE? We're back and we're taking your girlfriends.
As Notre Dame bloggers, I think we can all agree that the Irish are going to win on Monday? Why? How will it all go down?
Yeah, I think it is safe to say that we are all calling for the win. Obviously, I'm in that mix and I think it all comes down to the basics of what everybody is talking about… TRENCH WARFARE. Look, I have an abundance of confidence in both the offensive line and the front seven of the defense and I think they eventually take over – but not in some awe-inspiring fashion. It will be a more gradual process.
Now, we can sit here and try to come up with some different scenarios about how this game is played out, but I honestly think that we are in for a big surprise, if not only because of some wrinkles that Kelly installs for the offense.
In the end, Notre Dame's offense does just enough to put the "W" in the column for the Irish. A 23-19 score sounds about right.

Jason Derulo Urges Men to Check for Cancer
May 6, 2011 (10:18 pm) GMT
Hunky singer Jason Derulo hopes his nude shoot for a top British women's magazine will encourage his male fans to regularly check for testicular cancer.
The "Ridin' Solo" hitmaker Jason Derulo has stripped off for the June issue of Cosmopolitan in a bid to raise awareness of the disease and he wants men everywhere to "take care" of their privates.
He says, "I'm very proud of my manhood. It's the best part of my body, so I want to look after it. That's why it's important to raise awareness of testicular cancer; we need to be more open about our health, go for check-ups and take care of our bodies."
"I was actually quite shy on my photo shoot. I take off my shirt in front of thousands of people on stage, but when there are just a few people around, it's nerve-racking. I said, 'Just make sure the room is warm and I'll be good'."

Tuition? UC Riverside Students Say Bill Me Later
A student group called "Fix UC" suggests colleges take a share of each student's salary for the first 20 years after they graduate.
Facing the prospect of double-digit increases in tuition for the remainder of their college careers, the editors of Highlander did what any self-respecting campus journalists would do. They wrote columns complaining about it.
But then they did something more. They kicked off a movement at their campus -- the University of California, Riverside -- that now has university officials rethinking their entire fee structure.
Rather than collecting tuition up front, the students' proposal would have UC take a share of each student's salary, 5 percent of their incomes for the first 20 years after they graduate. "When we found that no one was really working on anything like this, that no real solutions were being put forward, we decided to work on one ourselves," says Chris LoCascio, Highlander's editor-in-chief and now leader of a group called Fix UC.
The idea is getting a "serious hearing," says Steve Montiel, a spokesman for the UC system. University budget mavens are working on mechanical questions such as how collections and income verification might work. At the same time, there are serious doubts about the plan. Since the university couldn't collect until students graduated and started working, Montiel says, it would be left with a serious cash-flow problem for years to come.
And it's not clear that paying a percentage of future income would be such a great deal for students themselves. LoCascio objects to descriptions of his scheme as a loan, but that may be what it amounts to. Students could end up paying more as a result, especially since many get a big break on current tuition rates through financial aid.
The plan does nothing to address the underlying problem behind the sharp tuition increases -- major reductions in state aid -- says Bruce Johnstone, an expert on higher education finance at the University at Buffalo. Instead, it mainly serves to shift costs from higher-income parents onto students themselves, Johnstone says, while "making the low-income students, whose parents do not have to pay now because they are financially unable, have to pay when the tuition is shifted to the deferred form."
Still, despite its potential downsides, LoCascio's idea is getting attention from student groups around the country. At a time when everyone is eager to figure out how to keep college affordable, it seems, any idea is worth talking about.

We're leaving April 20th for an 8 night trip to Ireland. Flying in/out Dublin due to the deal we got with Aer Lingus.
Here is the itinerary as it stands, but I welcome your comments & opinions.
4/21 - Dublin
4/22 - Kilkenney
4/23 - Kinsale (or Kenmare - thoughts?)
4/24 - Dingle
4/26 & 4/27 - Galway (part of the package)
4/28 - Dublin
Considering our time in the southwest, are we missing something? Moving around too much? I've heard Killarney is really touristy, though we are tourists, should we go there?
Definitely want to use our time wisely so would definitely appreciate everyone's opinions.

Ireland Itinerary - Dublin, Galway & ??
We're leaving April 20th for an 8 night trip to Ireland. Flying in/out Dublin due to the deal we got with Aer Lingus.
Report Abuse
With only 8 days on the ground (I assume that your travel days are 4/20 and 4/29) and required Dublin-->Dublin with Galway required, I would:
4/21 Dublin
4/22 Dublin (Day trip to Newgrange or Glendalough
4/23 Trim Castle, Clonmacnoise, stay near Galway
Report Abuse
Oops! New keyboard. Here's the rest of the week:
4/24 Day trip to Aran Islands Sleep there or same place as 23rd
4/25 Explore Connemara stay near Galway
4/26 & 27 Spend time in Galway, explore north as far maybe as Westport Stay same
4/28 Drive back to Dublin, perhaps via Roscommon/Strokestown
4/29 Fly home. Don't forget to toast my 65th birthday!
This may or may not be what you had in mind at all but all those one-night stops gave me the collywobbles. Feel free to ignore!
Report Abuse
Jaja's itinerary looks really good. There is so much to see and do in the Galway area. You can't see it all in 8 days, so explore that area and think, "I will be back!"
I would also suggest heading a bit south of Galway for one of your days. You could take in the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, Dunguaire Castle in Kinvarra. You could also take in a banquet at Dunguaire. Dunguaire is quite a picturesque castle with lots of photographic possibilities. If you don't want to do the banquet, have supper at one of the restaurants along the pier at Kinvarra and watch the "sun go down on Galway Bay".
Again, lots to do and returning to the same place each night will be more relaxing than whizzing through all the one nighters. BUT it is your trip and maybe that is how you like to travel. Nothing wrong with that. Jaja and I just wanted to give you something else to consider.
Have a wonderful trip (and a trip report).

I think you are attempting to spread yourself too thinly and would consider 2 nights in Dublin with side trips, Killarney for 2 nights after a night in Kilkenny. Drive round Dingle and stay on the Clare coast possibly Doolin for the Cliffs of Moher and Burren before your penultimate night in Galway. Final night up by the Airport in Dublin. Even this would be a push
Report Abuse
Hi -
Thanks for the feedback. We've both been to Dublin before, so we really don't want to stay there two nights, but rather head south/southwest.
Do you think we should stay in Killarney for 2 nights (4/23 & 4/24) and sightsee from there (Dingle, Kenmare?)? Then head north to County Clare (where? Doolin?)?
Report Abuse
I was in Ireland in late May and early June and the weather was warm. In April the weather could be wet and cold. I'd stay in the southern part of the country. The southwest is great! We rented bikes and rode around the lake at Killarney National Park. We wet to the Torc Cascade waterfall. Muckross House abbey and gardens are close and the rhododendrons and azaleas are huge. The gardens are free. It was awesome.

A freelance filmmaker and director has been announced as a finalist in this year's Uni Shorts International Student Film Festival.
Joey De Guzman, who moved to New Zealand from the Philippines 14 years ago, began making films while at school.
He always wanted to make a film about a Filipino street game he used to play as a child called tumbang preso, which translates to jailbreak. An opportunity to make it presented itself by coincidence.
He was in the Philippines and about to film a music video, but the rest of the crew were four hours late.
While waiting, he met a young boy and asked him to make a kite. He followed the boy around, filming, while the boy gathered his friends and resources to make the kite.
A year later, De Guzman went back to the Philippines to find the boy. When he did, he followed the boy and his friends and filmed their lives, which included playing tumbang preso, the children's favourite game.
"And then he started talking about his dreams."
"What he wanted to be when we grows up and his friends did the same thing. His dream is to be a policeman . . . and I saw a link between the game and their dreams."
Not only were the children's stories meaningful, but it is important to De Guzman to tell stories that reflect his own experiences.
"In the Philippines a lot of people are into popular culture and I think it's important to keep your roots alive.
"I'm [in New Zealand], I'm growing up here, I miss so much about home," De Guzman says.
The short film Tumbang Preso (Jailbreak) has won best documentary in a student film competition in Canada and he hopes this festival, run by Unitec, will be just as successful.
"I felt really good when I found out I got in because I've entered this particular competition twice before with my other films and I didn't get in. I was like 'Yes finally, I got one!'."
De Guzman hopes becoming a finalist will help his career as a director.
"It shows that you have international recognition . . . you're competing on an international stage and it brings you up a different level," he says.
"And it's good to have your filmed screened in different countries to tell your story."
The film festival runs from September 12 to 14 and includes panel sessions and guest speakers. The cost is $45 for the general public and $25 for students, which covers screenings, discussion forums and meals.
Go to unishorts.unitec.ac.nz for information or to buy tickets.

Through the first seven weeks of the year, the number of equine abortions remained up in Kentucky when compared to 2002. The University of Kentucky's Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center (LDDC) reported on Feb. 20 that it had received 221 aborted fetuses for evaluation in 2003 compared to 190 last year through the same period. During the year's seventh week, the number in 2003 was down -- 25 compared to 28 in 2002.Scientists associated with the LDDC say they have not seen signs consistent with another outbreak of MRLS. They also say the number may be up because more mares are foaling early this year than they were last year. Also, because of a heightened awareness of MRLS, horsemen may be submitting more aborted fetuses to the LDDC.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 183 reviews
We had a double suite which offered plenty of room for my family of 4. The beds were comfy and the air conditioning was perfect! My kids enjoyed the pool.My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub which was great after a long road trip. The breakfast was great and had plenty of variety. My overall stay was great!! I was in a good location to connect with family in Frisco, Lewisville, and Denton!
everything was very pleasant
Staff was great! Very friendly.
This is a nice hotel with all the expected bells and whistles of a corporate chain. The room was clean, and it offered an ice bucket, ironing board, cable TV, soap, and shampoo, etc. The rooms are nice and large, and you'll feel safe and comfortable here. The pool is nice if you like chlorinated pools, and there is plenty of parking. They offer a breakfast, which I didn't try, but it looked pretty good.
Nice stay, but, kinda limited on the TV channels. Didn"t have the golf channel, so a write up. Oh well, other than that, nice place.

Wyplay Chooses Sigma's SMP8700 SC Family for Its Frog by Wyplay Solution
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 01/06/14 -- CES -- Sigma Designs (NASDAQ: SIGM), a leading provider of System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for home entertainment, connectivity and converging multimedia delivery, today announced a collaboration with leading European middleware vendor Wyplay. Together they have extended a porting effort on Sigma's new ARM based STB (set top box) SoC product line. A proof of concept debuted in Amsterdam at IBC 2013. In Las Vegas at CES 2014 the middleware port is available at multiple performance tiers with Sigma's new HEVC capable SoCs.
The Sigma SMP8700 series have a wealth of features that make it the ideal fit for OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), STB manufacturers and service providers. The SMP875X family is the first to enable HEVC video decoding capability with the Main-10 profile allowing processing of up to 10bit color samples and will be demonstrated at CES. The SMP8700 series includes SOCs with multiple ARM A9 CPU configurations for 3000 or 6000 DMIPS of application processing. Similarly, SMP8700 series includes GPU options with multiple performance levels for new 3D user interfaces and over-the-top applications. The STB vendor thus has flexibility to combine the right pair of CPU and GPU to meet customer requirement at optimum platform BOM. Incorporating Sigma's industry-proven expertise in multi-format Full-HD video decoding, VXP� display processing, and field-proven AV software core, the SMP8700 family of SOCs is able to provide premium quality video experience. There are also multiple CAS solutions planned for this family including Verimatrix's cardless Video Content Authority System (VCAS�).
Frog by Wyplay is an initiative aiming to free all players in the TV ecosystem from being locked into proprietary solutions. Thanks to Frog by Wyplay, the full source code of Wyplay's innovative and flexible set-top box middleware and backend add-ons -- already being deployed to more than 10 million subscribers at Canal+, Belgacom, SFR, and Vodafone -- will be accessible free of charge for evaluation and development purposes.
Frog by Wyplay is based on the philosophy that traditional "black-box" models prevent software reuse, restrict partnerships, stop independent innovation, and cause development resource bottlenecks that lead to increased costs and delays in the introduction of new devices and services.
Mustafa Ozgen, vice president and general manager home multimedia for Sigma Designs, said: "We are pleased to have partnered with Wyplay and their Frog initiative to open their code base to operators and partners to achieve fast time to market. We are also glad that our joint offering spans SoC performance tiers and HEVC decoding capability. Considering both companies' strength in HTML5, we believe that we will be able to quickly address our mutual customers in a variety of geographic locations." "We are excited about our collaboration with Sigma Designs. Their SDK has been easy to work with and to allow portability across multiple SoCs in their ARM product line," said Wyplay CEO Jacques Bourgninaud. "We are convinced that their HD HEVC chipset family is perfectly suited to current customer needs." A demonstration of the Sigma Designs/Wyplay solution can be seen at CES 2014 January 7-10 in Las Vegas Hotel Suite 2990. For more information, visit www.sigmadesigns.com.
Frog By Wyplay will be officially launched at the CES Las Vegas tradeshow in January 2014. The source code and documentation will available at www.FrogByWyplay.com.

Horrible customer service. Rooms are old and smellPosted Aug 8, 2016
Never will I be staying at a red roof hotel again. I knew they were only two star hotel, but between rude customer service and bad room condition, poor kept breakfast bar, I would rate it as a 1 start. Lowest of the lowest.

Bed was a little hard, but plenty of fluffy pillows good location and easy to get around new Braunfels.

Met all Low ExpectationPosted Jun 5, 2016
Pros: Location
Cons: Everything
Location: Schlitterbahn, outlet malls, minimalls, major stores are close by. It is a short drive to San Antonio, Canyon Lake, Local Rivers & places to dine out
The room was clean with the exception of: dusty head boards, lamp fixtures, appliances. The office chair was worn and needs to be replaced. The bedding was clean, but is older patterns and could use updating. When you drive around the back, there were rows of old mattresses that needed to be taken to the dump. The continental breakfast was a let down: stale cereal, few options and cheaply done. The staff was kind and courteous. I won't stay at the New Braunfels location again.

The hotel was fair. Room was noisy. Did not get any sleep. Very disappointed with breakfast because they did not have fresh fruits. Lights in the room did not work. No refrigerator or coffee maker. Ice machine was broken. Shower curtain was old and dirty. ALL IN ALL I give it a negative 0 (zero) rating. Would not recommend it to anyone or will come back.

NEVER AGAINPosted Apr 27, 2016 on Hotels
I requested street/1st floor excess when booking. This was "Booked". When I arrived was informed that the hotel had "only one room left. It was on the SECOND FLOOR. As senior citizens this factor was terrible for our climbing stairs while carrying luggage. The bath tub was extremely slippery and unsafe. The ice and venting machines never worked during our 2 1/2 day stay.

Kentucky waltz Lyrics by Hank Locklin
Kentucky waltz by Hank Locklin
We were waltzin' that night in Kentucky beneath that beautiful harvest moon
I was a boy that was lucky but it all ended too soon
As I sit here alone in the moonlight I can see your smiling face
And I long once more for your embrace and that beautiful Kentucky Waltz

Canine terrorizes neighbors
It's hard to catch a shadow, even one with four legs and a tail.
A black lab named Shadow in the Kokomo neighborhood of Spokane Valley has been terrorizing residents, chasing motorcycles and trapping parked motorists in their cars. Living up to its name, the black Rottweiler-Labrador cross has been impossible to catch. The dog's owners have managed to elude animal control officers by giving the pooch a string of aliases.
Shadow is also "Shady," and occasionally, "Dusty." At one point, animal control officers said, a person answering the door at Shadow's 10808 E. 26th Ave. home informed them that the dog had died, although complaints about the pooch poured in postmortem.
Neighbors, frustrated that the dog by any name continued to harass their community, informed Spokane County Regional Animal Care and Protection Services last week that officers were being out-foxed. A little wiser, the officers returned to the neighborhood this week ready to declare Shadow a potentially dangerous dog, a distinction that could lead to the animal being put to death if it kept harassing neighbors.
"Sometimes people change the names of their pets to protect them," said Nancy Hill, director of SCRAPS.
There are so many black dogs in the area that it's easy for someone to pass off a problem black dog as a different pooch of the same color, Hill said. She thinks the neighborhood's problems are over.
But there's a new twist.
Rebecca LaVelle, whom animal control officers believe is Shadow's owner, was evicted by sheriff's deputies for an unrelated matter Tuesday afternoon. LaVelle could not be reached for comment because her whereabouts are unknown.
On Wednesday, an anonymous neighbor posted on LaVelle's sun-scorched yard a sign proclaiming, "Rebecca doesn't live here anymore. Hooray!" All that remained were a few broken windows and an automobile transmission on the front lawn. A broken-down El Camino on jack stands was parked in the driveway.
East 26th Avenue, just east of South University Road, is a middle-class neighborhood of nicely manicured lawns, urban forests and 1970s split-level homes. There's a portable basketball stand on every block, and kids play uninterrupted on broad streets.
"We have lived in fear of this dog attacking a child," said Lisa Pursch, a neighborhood mom. "Last year, that dog chased my son, who was 10 or 11 at the time. He was on his bike, and the dog came at him."
Glad the dog is gone, neighbors are none-theless incensed with SCRAPS, having called animal control several times in the last year only for Shadow to continue roaming. Pursch said neighbors were frustrated that SCRAPS wouldn't respond when attacks actually occurred. Because the dog never actually bit anyone, neighborhood run-ins with Shadow never warranted immediate response.
Neighbor Alex Heffelfinger said he frequently found himself trapped inside his car after coming home from work late at night. The free-roaming dog would circle Heffelfinger's vehicle. After the fact, when animal control would investigate, there were too many stories about the dog's true identity and whether it was alive or dead for anything to be done.
Hill said witnesses reporting that LaVelle dropped the aliases when animal control officers weren't around made the dangerous dog distinction possible. The dog will be dealt with, once it is found.
"It's hard to catch a Shadow," said Hill, "especially when it's Shady."
