Anne Harrington, NNSA Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, and Rhys Williams, NNSA Deputy Director, Nonproliferation and Verification Research & Development, visited Sandia National Laboratories on Nov. 15 to see the results of NNSA's Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development Program at Sandia.
NNSA's Office of Nonproliferation Research and Development is the principal organization in the U.S. government that conducts long-term basic and applied research, development, testing, and evaluation into new nuclear nonproliferation, counterproliferation, and counterterrorism technologies. It work to reduce the threat to national security posed by nuclear weapons proliferation and illicit nuclear materials trafficking by developing new and novel technologies that can be translated into useful tools.
A select group of early-career safeguards professionals from across the NNSA enterprise came together in September for networking and a hands-on learning experience about safeguards inspection challenges and resources. The event at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and facilities in the surrounding area was designed to increase NNSA's future capacity by building the diverse understanding young professionals need in nuclear safeguards. The activity, now in its third year, is an annual highlight of NNSA's Next Generation Safeguards Professional Network.
Safeguards experts are responsible for ensuring that all quantities of nuclear materials are accounted for in nuclear processes, facilities, and equipment. Their success is crucial in ensuring that such materials are not lost, or diverted for nefarious use.
This highly specialized field requires nuclear engineers, statisticians, physicists, chemists, information technology professionals, analysts, and policymakers. "Because of the variety of backgrounds, many young professionals benefit from additional development opportunities to become well rounded in these disciplines," said Melissa Scholz, Office of Nuclear Safeguards and Security.
For the four-day event, Scholz accompanied nonproliferation staff from six DOE national laboratories that support the NNSA mission. "We designed this experience to increase their familiarity with the facilities, capabilities, and resources available across the NNSA complex," she said.
Participants saw the inner workings of nuclear production, reactors, reprocessing, and uranium enrichment in real and test facilities. A highlight was discussing real-life inspection challenges with PNNL staff members who formerly worked as inspectors for the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"Participants came away with a much stronger understanding of how safeguards play into the entire fuel cycle," Scholz said. "This is exactly what we're aiming for—ensuring a sustainable safeguards capability for the global security mission."
As your Chief Information Officer, I lead a talented and dedicated team in delivering the NNSA Network Vision (2NV) as a key element of the OneNNSA transformation strategy.
We must change the way we use and view information, and when leveraged effectively, information becomes a strategic asset which enables us to do our jobs faster and more effectively. But almost more important than the information itself, is the security of that information.
Cyber security has become a buzz word these days, but the funny thing is that you can't just go buy some cyber security. Rather, increasing our Cyber Security posture is the result of an effective, well-managed architecture which combines our IT investments with cyber tools and talented professionals. Because we protect some of our nation's most sensitive information, our network has to be managed unlike any other!
So in order to transform our computing environment, we developed 2NV, which has three strategic pillars 2NV, JC3, and CSL, and once delivered, will set the stage for a transformation in how we actually do our work!
Pillar one: 2NV
2NV "modernizes our current computing environment" by providing a secure, mobile, agile, and adaptive IT infrastructure which will allow the NNSA workforce to perform their duties from any device, anywhere, any time.
Pillar two: JC3
The Joint Cybersecurity Coordination Center (JC3) allows us to "understand the health" of our sytems, data and networks within our computing environment
Pillar three: CSL
The Cyber Sciences Laboratory (CSL) provides a capability to "protect our future" by establishing a process through which theoretical research in IT and cyber security can be rapidly applied to operational computing environments.
We aim to leap from our current, desktop centric computing environment to a "best in class" mobile, capable and secure computing environment which will carry NNSA into the future.
Check back often to track our progress as we deliver this vision!
NNSA Defense Program and Savannah River Site Office officials recently broke ground on two new buildings at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, S.C.
The two buildings will receive personnel from prime tritium process real estate, enabling the next steps in the Tritium Responsive Infrastructure Modifications (TRIM) program, a plan to remove processes and equipment from Cold War-era buildings into more modern facilities that provide enhanced security and advanced technologies to support the facility mission.
In addition to the two new buildings, the ten year TRIM program includes consolidation of existing processes and facilities, deployment of new technology and process equipment, and decontamination and decommissioning of the old structures. Implementation of this effort will result in an overall lifecycle cost reduction and assurance of continued safe and secure national security tritium mission at SRS.
"Today we're here to break ground on facilities that show the national commitment, and the NNSA's commitment, to modernizing our nuclear enterprise." said NNSA Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator for Military Application, Brigadier General Sandra Finan, who participated in the ceremony.
"Today is a historic day, but what you do every single day is just as historic. I am very proud and honored to be here to share this with you today," said General Finan. "But more importantly, I'm very proud to be associated with what you do every single day, and thank you for your dedicated service."
The Process Support Building is a 10,000 square-foot building that will house forty-seven tenants and replace offices, briefing rooms and control room simulators from other buildings. The Tritium Engineering Building will consolidate the engineering function into a single 16,000 square-foot structure, accommodating 94 personnel. Both buildings will be constructed through a contract with Akima Construction Services, LLC, and are scheduled to be completed by October 2012.
Future projects within the TRIM program will relocate and modernize operational process equipment, allowing deactivation and decommissioning of several 1950s era structures.
Tritium is a heavy isotope of hydrogen and a key component of nuclear weapons, but it decays radioactively at the rate of 5.5 percent each year and must be replenished periodically. This is accomplished by recycling tritium from existing warheads and by extracting tritium from target rods irradiated in a nuclear reactor that are operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Recycled and extracted gases are purified to produce tritium that is suitable for use. The SRS Tritium Facilities occupy approximately 29 acres in the northwest portion of H Area. Operations began in 1955.
NNSA's most recent quarterly summary of experiments conducted as part of its science-based stockpile stewardship program is now available here.
The quarterly summary prepared by NNSA's Office of Defense Programs provides descriptions of key NNSA facilities that conduct stockpile stewardship experiments. These include some of the most sophisticated scientific research facilities in the world. These include, for example, the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories. The summary also provides the number of experiments performed at each facility during each quarter of the fiscal year.
The U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program is a robust program of scientific inquiry used to sustain and assess the nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground nuclear tests. The experiments carried out within the program are used in combination with complex computational models and NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program to assess the safety, security and effectiveness of the stockpile. An extraordinary set of science, technology and engineering (ST&E) facilities have been established in support of the stockpile stewardship program.
Two NNSA supercomputers are ranked in the top ten of the TOP500 List of the world's most powerful supercomputers. The list was released today.
Both NNSA computers are located at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL): Cielo is ranked number six on the list and Roadrunner is ranked number 10. Five other supercomputers housed at NNSA sites are ranked in top 26 of the TOP500 list.
As part of NNSA's mission to extend the lifetime of nuclear weapons in the stockpile, the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Campaign provides NNSA with leading edge, high-end simulation capabilities. The ASC program helps NNSA to meet nuclear weapons assessment and certification requirements, including: weapon codes, weapon science, computing platforms, and supporting infrastructure.
Cielo, a petascale resource for conducting NNSA weapons simulations in the 2011-2015 timeframe, can achieve more than one quadrillion floating point operations per second. Earlier this year, the Cielo system was upgraded from 1.03 petaFLOPS (72 cabinets) to 1.37 petaFLOPS (96 cabinets). Cielo is operated by the New Mexico Alliance for Computing at Extreme Scale (ACES), a collaboration between LANL and Sandia National Laboratories.
Roadrunner has a peak performance of 1.38 petaflops and was the first supercomputer in the world to perform at a sustained petaflops rate on a scientific calculation. Roadrunner has a unique architecture that was designed to explore new computing technology, and is an important stepping stone to even larger systems in the future.
The top 26 include Number 15: The Appro Xtreme-X, LLNL; Number 17: BlueGene/Q, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL); Number 22: BlueGene/L, LLNL; Number 24: Red Sky, Sandia/National Energy Laboratory; Number 26: Dawn - Blue Gene/P, LLNL.
The TOP500 list is compiled by Hans Meuer of the University of Mannheim, Germany; Erich Strohmaier and Horst Simon of NERSC/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; and Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. To see the entire list, see: http://www.top500.org/lists/2011/11

The Annular Core Research Reactor at Sandia National Laboratories recently completed its 10,000th reactor pulse operation. The ACRR has been supporting weapons certification for more than 30 years. The first pulse was conducted in April 1979. The ACRR provides unique support to the NNSA and is the only reactor of its kind in the world with its special ceramic fuel rods. Since the shutdown of the Sandia Pulsed Reactor, ACRR has been a key component for qualification alternatives. The environmental testing performed at ACRR enables NNSA to be able to certify weapons systems with confidence each year without underground testing.
In 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the world celebrated. After four years of bitter war, an armistice was signed. The "war to end all wars" was finally over. In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11, as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, which in 1954 became Veterans Day -- a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
As the Nation celebrates Veterans Day, we offer our sincere appreciation to members of the military -- past and present -- and their families. The courage and commitment of these Americans are an inspiration to all.
With over 42 million men and women who have served in our armed forces, chances are you know someone who has served. Our NNSA family has always included many dedicated men and women in uniform, and we appreciate their contributions to our mission.
As you take this day off work on Friday, please join me in saluting our military members. Take a moment to remember the contributions they have made to our safety and way of life, and the sacrifices they continue to make for all of us on a daily basis. Our veterans deserve our gratitude, and we look forward to the day when those serving abroad will return home safely.
A sharp eye and a lot of luck led to an interesting discovery at Pantex last month.
Workers excavating at the construction site for the new High Explosives Pressing Facility uncovered the jawbone of an ancient peccary, a prehistoric pig related to modern javelinas, but the discovery was nearly lost amongst the giant piles of earth.
"If we'd have taken another bucket of dirt out of the wall of that pit, we'd have never known they were there," Don Lankford, contractor on the project, said of the bones. "We just happened to knock off for the day right there, and the next morning, the light was hitting the bones just right, and one of the workers spotted them."
Lankford said the bones were imbedded about eight feet down in the walls of the excavation, with a color that nearly matched the surrounding dirt, so the proper light was crucial to the discovery. The bucket of the massive excavator would almost certainly have destroyed the bone fragments if it had taken another bite out of the wall of the pit, he said.
Plant Historian Monica Graham joined with plant wildlife biologist Jim Ray, geologist Mike Keck and other personnel to excavate the bones. Dr. Gerald Schultz from West Texas A&M University identified the bones as belonging to a Platygonus, an extinct genus of herbivorous peccary of the family Tayassuidae that roamed the area in ancient times. According to Ray, Platygonus were similar to modern species of peccaries (also known as javelinas) but were larger, likely reaching 290-360 pounds.
Platygonus became extinct at least 11,000 years ago, but the bones could be as old as 23 million years old.
Work crews were able to move to other areas of the HEPF site and continue excavation for the foundation and flooring of the facility for several days while the find was dug out and catalogued. Work on the HEPF was not delayed.
"We were very fortunate to find the bones and to be able to get in there and remove them without impacting the schedule on the HEPF," Graham said. "It's a win-win for everyone when we can learn about the ancient history of this site at the same time we are ensuring the future with this new facility."
The HEPF is a $65 million, 45,000-square-foot facility that is being built to modernize the high explosive capabilities at Pantex. Ground was broken on the HEPF in August, and construction is expected to take about two-and-a-half years.
Pantex has policies in place that govern the excavation of paleontology sites. Graham said plant personnel have quite a bit of experience with excavation, having previously recovered historical remains from a site located near Pantex Lake, a playa northeast of the site. The peccary bones will be preserved and stored along with other finds from the site.
I'm excited to welcome you to the new blog of the National Nuclear Security Administration. I want this to be a unique place for you to hear from some of the dedicated men and women who help keep our country safe, protect our allies, and enhance global security every day.
We have a lot of interesting content to share. As we work to lock down dangerous nuclear material across the globe and execute our nonproliferation mission, we will give you an inside look at some of the challenges we face and how we overcome them. As we continue to develop cutting-edge science and technology in support of our stockpile stewardship mission, we will share those innovations and what they mean for our national security. And as we modernize our enterprise and make critical investments in our future – whether the MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility in South Carolina, CMRR in New Mexico , or UPF in Tennessee – we will share our progress along the way.
This will also be a place for you to learn more about the important work NNSA is doing to prevent terrorists from acquiring a nuclear weapon, to prepare to respond to a nuclear emergency anywhere in the world, and to ensure that American sailors and submariners reach their destinations safely and reliably in ports across the globe.
I'm committed to posting notes here as often as I can. And I'm sure you'll be hearing from Neile Miller, Principal Deputy Administrator, very soon.
President Obama has laid out an ambitious nuclear security agenda, and thousands of people across the country are working hard to implement it as I type this. This will be a place to tell their stories , and I hope you'll read along.
Medal of Honor recipients share experiences @y12nsc; honored for service to the nation - http://1.usa.gov/1uRKqUV

At the end, when his body began failing, Manny Fernandez took any drug the Miami Dolphins' team doctor gave him. When Butazolidin, illegal in race horses, took his white count to dangerous levels, the doctor prescribed Indocin, which ate his stomach lining.
Aristocort was next in the cycle. It is linked with prostate cancer today. And, finally, Motrin, another stomach crusher in the doses Fernandez took. This was 1974. No one knew what they were doing.

Digital Universe Projected to Reach 40ZB by 2020
Machine-generated data is a major factor behind the expansion of the digital Universe.
The recent EMC2-sponsored IDC study anticipates that the digital universe – a measure of all the digital data created, replicated, and consumed in a single year – will reach 40ZB by 2020, which is equivalent to 5,247 GB per person worldwide.
In just the past two years, the digital universe has doubled to 2.8 zettabytes – a zettabyte (ZB) equals a trillion gigabytes. And, the IDC survey, titled "Big Data, Bigger Digital Shadows, and Biggest Growth in the Far East," projects that the digital universe will continue to double every two years between now and 2020. According to the study, a major factor behind the expansion of the digital universe is the growth of machine-generated data, which is expected to increase from 11% as recorded in 2005 to more than 40% in 2020.
Emerging markets will be another big factor in the the coming years. Whereas emerging markets accounted for 23% of the digital universe in 2010, their share has increased to 36% in 2012. And, IDC predicts that 62% of the digital universe will be attributable to emerging markets by 2020.
The current global breakdown of the digital universe is: United States – 32%, Western Europe – 19%, China – 13%, India – 4%, rest of the world – 32%. According to IDC, by 2020, China alone is expected to generate 22% of the world's data.
"This is the sixth year EMC2 has sponsored IDC in this study. Each year, the previous forecasts prove to be far too conservative, and all the numbers are significantly revised upwards," said Chuck Hollis, Global Marketing CTO at EMC2.

DETROIT – It was less than an hour before the game when the Falcons emerged from a tunnel at Ford Field and found the entire Detroit Lions team standing there in the corner of the end zone. Mike Peterson, self-appointed drill sergeant in matters such as these, announced his team's arrival.
"We had somewhere to go and they were in our way," the Falcons linebacker said. "I said, 'We're not going around them — we're going this way [straight ahead].' I said, 'Get the bleepity bleep out of the way.'"
Some pre-rumble-like jawing ensued. There were no punches but it got uncomfortable enough that pipsqueak game officials were forced to step in and separate a thousand pounds of humanity.
This was a good sign for the Falcons.

A lawsuit filed on behalf of a 10-year-old Santa Fe boy claims a local police officer fired a 50,000-volt Taser at the kid after he jokingly refused the cop's request to clean his car.
On May 4th, Officer Chris Webb of the New Mexico Department of Public Safety and Motor Transportation was visiting Tularosa New Mexico Intermediate School for "career day," where he spoke to groups of students about gun and taser safety.
During a demonstration of a Taser X26, Webb reportedly asked students "who would like to clean his patrol unit."
One of students, identified as R.D. in court documents, jokingly refused, to which Webb allegedly replied, "Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police."
The officer then shot two barbs directly into the boy's chest, "causing the device to deliver 50,000 volts into the boy's body." R.D. quickly fell to the ground and blacked out.
The lawsuit claims Webb did not radio for emergency services, choosing instead to lead the boy into the school's bathroom "to help clean him up." Webb personally removed the barbs from the boy's chest, leaving behind "cigarette burn" scars.
For his part, Webb told superiors he accidentally reinserted the taser cartridge into the weapon after an initial demonstration, and forgot to remove it for the second demonstration.
Webb claims R.D.'s mother "wasn't mad at what had happened," but the lawsuit says the boy is showing signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and "has woken up in the middle of the night holding his chest afraid he is never going to wake up again."
The DPS suspended Webb for three days, and no further action was taken.
The civil suit is seeking punitive damages of an unspecified amount.

Mailjet's new pricing: even more cheap!
You may have heard a few rumours on Twitter but it's now official: Mailjet is releasing a brand new pricing! As you're going to realise, we might be offering the best value on the emailing market…
A new pricing to change the ESP game!
We have worked a lot on this strategy and we believe it will be a decisive move. Along with all the competitive advantages that our product already has, being cheaper is something that will allow us to get a lot of people switching to our solution.They will actually have to realize that on the mid and long term, staying where they are won't benefit them.
Delivering great performance and being cheaper at the same time? Yes sir!
There are 3 reasons that allow us to be better and cheaper at the same time:
1- Our whole system is built to fully leverage the cloud power. Mailjet's model allows us to maximize the efficiency of the power we need to buy. We can therefore obtain the same results with less money.
2- Our model doesn't integrate the need of big sales teams: we work on partnerships and word of mouth. This saves us a lot of time and money. All this can then be invested in our R&D. Our main battlefield is the technology, not the market place.
3- We're a start-up: all our team never stops striving for efficiency and our work organization allows us to have a really impressive productivity. We're caught in the course of action and when something needs to be done… it gets done very quickly. No bureaucracy, no lost energy, etc. That's a lot of money saved and that's a lot of money you don't have to spend.
Even more to come…
Having the best rates is not enough for us: we're already working on how we're going to offer you more flexibility. A new statistics module also is on its way: as our prices go down, our product gets more sophisticated!
As you can see, we're really trying to design the product you could have dreamed of! Stay tuned, subscribe to our RSS and follow us on Twitter @Mailjet

ROC City Tattoo Expo 2013
By johndotcom
There are only two things you need to know about the ROC City Tattoo Expo…
- 1. If you are a tattooer, this show should be on your tat con list!
- 2. If you are a tattoo enthusiast, this show should be on your tat con list!
Actually, there's more to it than that… But just like me, that's the tall and skinny of it… I cannot begin to thank Jet (Joseph DiProjetto, Love Hate Tattoo), Shane Stevens and the whole ROC Crew for making this experience better every time I come to Rochester… (more…)

About A51 Student Ministries
CLICK HERE to join us on Facebook
A51 Student Ministries is the High School/Middle School Student ministry of First Baptist Church of Royal Palm Beach. The name Area 51 was given to the old Air Force Flight Test Center located on the edge of Groom Lake outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. UFO conspiracy theorists believe that this facility was used by the government as an alien test center. We are identifying with the concept of being aliens living in a strange land.
In John 17:16-18 (NLT) Jesus states, "They are not part of this world any more than I am.17 Make them pure and holy by teaching them your words of truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world."
Area 51 Student Ministries is designed to:
- Share the Gospel of Jesus with high school and middle school students
- Disciple students who have a relationship with Jesus through the reading and teaching of the Bible
- Equip students for active ministry
- Provide ministry opportunities for the students

My friends Mikey and Wendy gave me this thing they found at a yard sale. They were hoping to sell it for something on ebay, but it turned out to not have any practical purposes, since the unidentified object had tubes and speakers in it, which suggested it was an old hi-fi amplifier, but no input jacks of any sort could be found. A radio? but no tunning nob or switches. Clearly it had an amplifier in there somewhere! Read More and watch this thing in action!

Introducing Burkina Faso
Standing at the geographical heart of West Africa, Burkina Faso (formerly Haute or Upper Volta, or just Burkina to the locals) is the sort of place that captures the imagination – how many of your friends back home even know that Burkina Faso exists? – and wins the hearts of travellers with its relaxed pace of life, friendly people and wealth of interesting sights. From the deserts and unrivalled Gorom-Gorom market in the north, to the green countryside and strange rock formations of the country's southwest, Burkina spans a rich variety of landscapes. The country, too, is home to a fascinating cultural mix, with the Burkinabé (people from Burkina Faso) almost as diverse as the terrain.
This may be one of the world's poorest countries, but it's also one of the most stable in the region and runs with an efficiency that's the envy of many of its neighbours. Throw in the continent's most important film festival, the delightful small-town atmosphere of Bobo-Dioulasso, wildlife safaris in the south, the enjoyable and gloriously named capital, Ouagadougou, and there's enough here to transform Burkina from the country that no-one knows to an experience you'll never forget.

Morning Brew – Friday, April 1: Jane Lynch channels David Bowie, "Pretty Little Liars" are back to work, gays get their own beer
Good morning, sunshines! Did you hear the news? Callie said yes to Arizona's proposal on Grey's Anatomy last night! We're going to have ourselves a full-on, primetime lesbian wedding on broadcast TV next month! Five years ago, that kind of lede would have been a colossal April Fool's Day joke, but not anymore! Times, they are a-changing!
Grace Chu emailed me some photos of the AfterEllen team's night out at The Dinah last night. They caught a comedy show with our favorite Fortune Feimster.
And that other alliterative comedy genius, Paula Poundstone.
If you're at The Dinah, be sure to stop by and say hi to the AfterEllen gang.
Last night, Jane Lynch told Access Hollywood that she was on the set of Glee dressed up as David Bowie:
"I'm dressing up as David Bowie today. Sue Sylvester is going incognito as David Bowie. I mean, come on. Who gets to do this kind of stuff?"
Jane wouldn't say which incarnation of Bowie she was channeling, but I'm hoping for either Ziggy Stardust or a "Serious Moonlighting"-caliber tux. (And if Rachel Berry is the clown from "Ashes to Ashes," all the better!)
This week's episode of Off the Map finally featured that lesbian couple we've been hearing about. Fran and Charlene are on their second honeymoon, bickering about whether or not to enjoy a couples massage or a paragliding lesson. Charlene pushes the paragliding, and Fran ends up crashing and almost dying. They rekindle their relationship over Fran's life-threatening surgery, with Charlene promising to stop focusing on the stuff Fran does that drives her bonkers. (That makes two Shonda Rhimes stories this week in which lesbian couples recommit after near-death experiences! Better than watching lesbian bed death, I say!)
Earlier this week, Bridget McManus told us about a new Freckles music video that features the age-old story of a lesbian falling in love with her straight best friend. You guys liked it so much, and I've got some good news for you: You can download the single, "Uh huh," for free from Freckles' official site!
Yesterday, Pretty Little Liars boss Marlene King let us know the girls of Rosewood are back for their first table read of the second season! She even Tweeted this photo of Troian Bellisario (in glasses!) to prove it!
(Thanks for the tip, Dii!)
Salon.com features a cute story about a reluctant lesbian grandma in their "Real Families" section today.
Who am I to them? Well, I'm not exactly grandma, because my partner fills that role as their "blood"grandma, the woman who raised their parents. Mostly, I'm just plan Sandy to them. Do they care that we are both women and gay? They think it's just fine. And while I never would have asked for this, I've also realized that now, I can't imagine living without them.
I took a while to warm up to the idea of having little people who saw me as part of the family scene. When I signed onto this caravan there was just one little creature, a yellow-haired tyke who raced naked down hallways, pushing a toy stroller, and hid under the grand piano with his grandma (a lively creature herself) when it was time to disappear. I watched from the middle distance, waiting to see if I would like him.
This morning, one of my personal favorite pre-weekend websites, Atlanta Beer Master, highlighted a little something called "Purple Hands Beer" — the world's first gay beer! Mexico's Minerva Brewing is marketing the booze, targeting the "important and demanding" LGBT community. Apparently the label can be reused as a sticker for laptops and stuff. The beer will make the leap to American markets some time the year. Until then, AfterEllen field trip to Cozumel?
I hope your weekend is as lovely a bottle of queer-specific, honey-based ale!

Our Featured Pet...
Meet Max. He is the reason that rescue groups are around. He was abused and starved almost to death when a shelter picked him up and now he is safe with us. He is getting all of his shots and is great with people even though he is a bit shy at the first meeting, but who can blame him? He is a wonderful dog and within weeks I have no doubt he will be a healthy happy dog. If you would like to meet or adopt Max please call. Please call Michael at 817-880-5858. OR E-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com
Who We Are
At MARS we rescue adoptable pets from shelters that are special cases, or are about to be euthanized to make room for new animals. We take these animals to one of our participating vets for a thourough check up,current vaccinations,heartworm check and preventative,additional health care when needed, and microchip. Because we believe in stopping overpopulation, we make sure all of our pets are spaed or neutered. We are looking for permanent homes for these formerly lost, abandonded, and abused pets, but also need volunteers to help foster these pets.
Adopting a friend
We have a short application available on our website for you to fill out that tells us a little bit about you, your family, and your other pets. It lets us know what pets are best suited to your family, and home environment. This process could take a couple of days.
Come Visit Us!
Please call in advance so that we can give you our undivided attention !

When we showed you the $8 million 1958 Ferrari 250 TR hit the tire wall at Laguna Seca over the weekend, all our evidences were constricted to photographs. But now, thanks to videos captured by those who were at the race, we now have video evidence of exactly what happened to David Love's obscenely expensive ride.
We've seen a lot of cars that crash in races over the years but not to the extent of this one. And it's not because of the damage either, which if you look at the photos we showed, isn't all that much – a few detailing tweaks here and there and banging sheet metals should do the trick. This car crash is significant because, well, the car that got introduced into the tire wall is one of the most expensive cars in the history of the world. One even got sold a few months ago for a cool $12 million!
While the video does give chills down our spines, we're still compelled to show this to you guys. After all, how often do you see a car that can be sold for about four Bugatti Veyrons skirt the gravel and crash into a tire wall?
