Last Tuesday night, March 20th, a man stumbled upon two dog heads in a recycling bin behind the CVS store at the intersection of W. Slauson and S. Vermont Avenue. The man found the two heads, a chocolate Labrador retriever mix and a tan German Shepherd, beheaded in the trash can, with no signs of dog fighting or death by anything other than intentional slaughter. The heads are believed to have been severed by a large, sharp object, at a location other than CVS. Los Angeles Police Department Detective Hector Sanchez, who heads the city's Animal Cruelty Task Force, issued a $20,000 reward on Wednesday for any information leading to the capture and conviction of the individual responsible for the two severed dog heads found in the trash bin in South Los Angeles last week. "This is one of the most heinous crimes against animals in my lifetime," said Councilman Paul Koretz. The reward consists of $10,000 from the city, $2,500 from each Humane Society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Best Friends Animal Society, and $2,500 from Koretz. Koretz, the chair of the City Council Personnel and Animal Welfare Committee, and Councilwoman Jan Perry, announced the reward Wednesday morning, alongside the Los Angeles Police Department. The goal of Best Friends Animal Society, according to Elizabeth Oreck, a spokeswoman, is to “…increase the reward to incentivize someone to come forward to help with the apprehension and conviction of whoever is responsible of this terrible crime.” The bodies of the dogs have not been found, and no one has come forward as owners of the two missing dogs. "People are paying attention to this case because it's so strange and so there is so much mystery surrounding it," Oreck said. "Two cleanly severed heads, not dog-fighting dogs, obviously these were someone's pets." The largest concern of the Police Department is that the individual who committed this crime is most likely highly violent. Often times, violent individuals get progressively more violent with each crime. Little crimes lead to more and more daring ones, and can eventually lead to crimes extremely dangerous to the community, such as murder. Along with this kind of crime comes the question of mental stability of the individual who committed the crime, which adds even more to the fear of the community and law enforcement. The city of Los Angeles has not found any more evidence leading to the individual or the whereabouts of the dog’s bodies. The city is currently relying on its citizens to take action and come forward with any information concerning the crime. "Somebody who is that unbalanced is a real threat to the community. It may not be just dogs that they can do this to," Oreck said.

Zach’s 2011 Top Games
Well the year of 2012 is upon us and believe it or not 2011 was a good year of gaming. So to close out 2011, I will have my own little award show here on the BlogSpot. Before I get to the actual games let me just say real quick that although only a few games will win, every game I mention is well worth a try. Every single one deserves to be recognized and should not be looked down upon. Well without further ado here are the games.
First we’ll look at the top fighting games of 2011 and the nominees are:
Mortal Kombat
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
After playing these games it was a hard choice to make between them but the Winner of Fighting Game of the year is……… Mortal Kombat!
Mortal Kombat didn’t have the best series of games after UMK 3 but showed promise after MK vs. DCU. It’s good to see it come back and completely destroying its past history and gives the MK fans what they want: good, bloody, fun. Not to mention the cool X-ray attacks that are a welcome addition to the franchise and are here to stay. If you don’t know what I’m talking about let me inform you. The X-ray attacks are a special move that allows major damage to the opponent and literally let you see the internal damage that is given. Plus the guest characters that are there are perfect for the game which are Kratos from the God of War series and Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm Street.
Next we’ll look at RPGs, so the nominees here are:
Dues Ex: Human Revolution
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Dead Island
L.A. Noire
So the winner for RPG of the year is…… Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Now those of you who know me you’ll already know how much I love creating my own character and with Skyrim I can go above and beyond. The game has multiple ways of creating your own character and you’ll feel new and refreshed. Not to mention the amazing graphics and unique style of duel wielding. Players can wield both a melee weapon and magic at the same time but you can also have two weapons or two magic gloves but it all ends with what you want. And that is basically how you play the game, HOW EVER THE HECK YOU WANT!!!! THAT IS PURE AWSOME RIGHT THERE!!
And now for the best Action game nominees
Batman Arkham City
Assassin’s Creed Revelations
And the best action game of the year was another hard choice but…….. Batman Arkham City!
Batman has always been a fan favorite of practically everybody. It was a close match between this game and Assassin’s Creed but I liked Arkham City just a bit more. You may disagree with me on the choice but you can’t deny that Arkham City is a blast to play and the Dark Knight is the best there is in the DC Universe. The reason I’m not describing the game like I did with the previous games is because I already gave a review on it and you can look at it anytime.
Next category is the FPS (First Person Shooters) and they are:
Battlefield 3
MW3 (Modern Warfare 3)
You should have known this fight was coming but the winner for best FPS game of the year is………Call of Duty MW3!!
So the winner between these two great games has finally been decided, by me anyway. The reason I picked Call of Duty was because the story was more interesting than in Battlefield’s and the online seemed more personal. By now you should know that I love customization and in MW3 the customization is a little more widely open than in Battlefield in my opinion. Plus with Battlefield it’s more realistic than MW3 and I like that but I prefer the feeling of walking into a room and wasting everyone in there like in MW3. It gives me that feeling like I’m invincible.
Next is Horror but there is only one nominee and winner which is…..
Dead Space 2!!!
Those who get frightened easily beware this game. If you can’t take the extreme content of blood and space zombies then read no farther. Dead Space 2 has really upped the scale of the franchise in terms of horror and good story telling. Isaac Clarke, Dead Space’s main protagonist, is becoming insane because of a strange artifact he found on the Ishimura of the first game. A red Marker that creates Necromorphs; a race of aliens that take over the bodies of the dead. And now a second marker has been brought to Titan Station near Saturn and another Necromorph outbreak is on the loose. Being haunted by the death of his girlfriend on the Ishimura, Isaac battles his inner demons while battling the outside ones as well, limb by bloody limb. It’s everything you want in a horror game and your mother is going to hate it!
Last but not the least we have the system exclusives. First for PS3 there is
Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
Little Big Planet 2
Infamous 2
And the best PS3 game of the year is ……..Infamous 2!!
I don’t know what is it about lighting based powers that is really fun but it just is. In Infamous 2 players will once again take control of Cole McGrath who is destined to defeat a beast that is intending to destroy the whole world. This is one of these games where you can choose to be good or evil but does so in its own way. You can get cool powers that you can use your lighting such as Lighting grenades, shockwaves, levitation, healing, or even rockets. There is plenty of karma moments where you choose on what you would rather do if a situation like that occur and you had lighting based powers. Pretty cool if you ask me!
Next are the Xbox exclusives.
Gears of War 3
Halo CE Anniversary
And the winner for best 360 exclusive is………Gears of War 3!
It was hard to believe that Epic games could top the first Gears with Gears 2 and now they’ve wowed us again with their goodbye game. Gears 3 take place 18 months after the events of Gears 2. People are trying to make a living but a new enemy known as the lambent are killing everyone and only one person knows how to kill them off once and for all, Marcus’ dad Adam Fenix. The whole story is based on getting to Adam and finishing off the lambent but there is still Locust that have survived and determined the finish off Humanity and the Lambent once and for all. There are plenty of new weapons at your disposal and online has improved a lot from the second game but still if you use anything but a shotgun, sniper, or Boomshot you’re not going to last long at all.
There you have it! My Top Games of the year 2011! Hope you enjoyed this little award show and sorry it took so long to be posted but as long as it gets up who cares. Better late than never right? Just a reminder Next review will be on The first majorly anticipated game of 2012, Street Fighter x Tekken! If you remember I did a preview on it earlier in the year but it comes out very soon so look forward to that. And as always Keep Playing, Keep Praying!

I've been Marathon Momming
To contact us Click HERE
I'm not gone, and I haven't forgotten my little blog. But, I've been super busy with my mom duties! It's just been a marathon of momness for the past couple of months.
The oldest moved home from South Carolina at the end of September. Then she found a house to rent and moved in with her air mattress, a towel and a saucepan and spoon that she "borrowed" from my kitchen. After a week in her empty lonely house, she flew to Connecticut to spend a couple of weeks with her husband. He will be stationed out here beginning in December. Katie will be back in San Diego next week. Yay! We're going to pick her up at the airport and then "camp out" in her empty house.
Lexie and Charlie have been home more frequently, in fact, they stayed here all week this week. So nice to have them around more! But, three little kids is sure a lot of work! They exhaust me and I love it. I'm so glad I get to babysit my grandson while my daughter works. Since she's been working till midnight more often, she just spends the night instead of waking Charlie just to take him home. Plus, since she doesn't have a car I would have to wake up the girls for the ride too.
Gracie and Libby are having so much fun! Libby just had her birthday and then it was Halloween and then Thanksgiving, yikes, it's almost Christmas now! It's really going that fast. I've been taking them on lots of outings since it is cool out and has been kind of rainy, if I don't get them out they feel too cooped up. Besides, outings are fun. We tried to get in as many outings as we could on nice days, just in case we didn't get another nice sunny day for a while. My mid-western mentality kicks in every fall. Must hurry and get out before we are stuck at home all winter! I still forget that life in Southern California is different and I'm never really stuck at home.
My husband has the whole week of Thanksgiving off from work. As soon as he was home from work on Friday, he packed up and headed out. Off he went for a hunting trip to South Dakota. He should be back Sunday evening. Of course, he won't have any time to catch up on sleep before he goes back to work on Monday. I imagine next week if we see him, he'll be snoring.
If all of those excuses for not blogging more aren't enough, there's this: I'm working on changing my blog. It will include a name change and new pages. Hopefully it will be more manageable for me and you all won't lose me when I shift it all over to the new one. Exciting changes for my Momathon Blog! I want to work on it a bit more before the unveiling. Stay tuned.

Observing Spring growth.
To contact us Click HERE
Also making a mental list of all that needs to be done, you know, weeding, removing unwanteds, replanting, etc.
But the one thing that I look forward to year after year is watching my Wisteria bloom, it grows over our trellis. Wisteria blooms on its bear wood, so the effect of these beautiful hanging flowers on the silvery wood is breathtaking. Not to mention the strong heady aroma.
As the blooms begin to die off and fall, it almost looks like snow falling, it just takes a soft breeze. :)
In my opinion, every stage of this vine is beautiful. When the leaves fully come in, we get the best summertime shade ever. At a later date I will let you all know what happens in the fall.

It seems like its been forever since my last post, not that my hook hasn't been busy at work, it has just been other things keeping me from sharing.
But it's Monday morning, and a new week to look forward to.
Well as you can see from my pictures it has been all about Miss. Amelia lately.
She needed a nice, warm, girly poncho for school. Since the school uniform requires a navy blue hoodie or jacket, I thought it would be ok for her to wear a poncho in the required color. The flowers on the draw string ties make it fun and not-so-uniformy looking.
She of course loved it!!! And will be wearing for a school field trip today. ( I think).
And since leftover yarn is always available in these parts, I kinda made a matching pencil case which I will put in her Easter basket.
Other than this, my granny blanket is coming along nicely, I will share a bit of that later.
Today, I will look into staring a new spring project. Got any ideas????
Ciao for now my friends.
Have a great Rest of your week!!!!

Well, march is almost gone, and even though I've had to deal with a bad cold, and an even worse flu, I feel like the month has been productive.
My darling daughter Katherine always manages to make the strangest requests. This time in the form of a stone cozy, (sometimes I really do wonder about that girl.)
Of course, my latest granny is almost done, hopefully I'll share that with you before the weeks end.
And last but never least, it was all about Miss. Ireland last week.
I don't know why but I have the impression that she is always cold. So, of course she needed a warm, thick and chunky 3/4 sleeve cardi.
This sweater was very easy to make. I think I whipped it up in a couple of hours. The yarn was so soft, and fun to work with. :). She of course liked it, and her mommy loved it.
Well, ladies, I will keep this one short, it is now about 10:16 pm, and my NyQuil is kicking in, yaaaaawwwwn. :0.
Have a great and blessed rest of your week. Hugs for one and all!!!

"It's just another manic Monday"
I've had that song in my head all morning. :-/
Anyway, I just wanted to share a few little things from weeks past, and some from a few days ago.
As you all know, I had been quite under the weather for a few weeks. But that all ended when about a week ago, we had a family gathering. All my children, along with spouses and grandchildren came over for a Saturday lunch. That rarely happens anymore since everyone is so busy with their own lives and schedules.
We had a great lunch, the children played, the adults got caught up with each other, music was played, walks we're taken, scooter rides were given, a lot was done.
But I was really happy to finally get a picture of our four children. Of course mom and dad too.
On the pic. Left to right, Mr. W. (papa) Ryan age 26, Katherine, just turned 30,
Jayson, just turned 33, Gabriel, 34, and yours truly, (mom, Mimi).
And these are AMC!!!
On a more crafty note, I have started my very first knitted amigurumi, I won't say much, but I'm crossing my fingers that it will turn out good.
And last but never ever least!!! I received a post card from wayyyy across the Atlantic, my dear friend Lorena from Lorybeat blog, sent a note all the way from England!!! Now that, put a huge smile on my face this weekend. Sometimes folks don't know how much a friendly gesture can lift ones spirit. Thank you so much Lory!!!!
Well my friends that's it for today.
I hope everyone enjoys a great week!!!
Hugs for all. :)
