Happy New Year from Jaxs and Kim

Media_httpfilesmyoper_ixvic

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

The New Year looks very promising for Jaxs and Kim.

Game developer Jonathon Barton fell in love with Kim's cross stitch fox sea shell.

Kim's sea shell is now being used as a card backing on the game Solitaire 3D and Solitaire 3D Pro.

Kim and I are further working with Jonathon to bring large print to the game. Kim will be cross stitching a whole deck of cards.

Jaxs will then photograph them then work his magic to reduce the size so that Jonathon can then insert the images into the game.

Much work and time is going into this project and certainly has it challenges to over come the images being too pixelated.

Solitaire 3D is a mobile game designed for Android and I Phones. Jaxs and Kim hope that you enjoy the game. There is a free and paid version of the game for your gaming enjoyment.

K-9 Heroes of 9-11

These are the dogs that worked the Trade Centers that are still alive but retired. They are heroes too.

 

Their eyes say everything you need to know about them. Truly amazing creatures.

 

True Heroes of 9-11 still with us today.

 

Moxie, 13 from Winthrop, Massachusetts, arrived with her handler, Mark Aliberti, at the World Trade Center on the evening of September 11, and searched the site for eight days.

 

 

 


 

Tara, 16, from Ipswich, Massachusetts, arrived at The World Trade Center on the night of September 11. The dog and her handler, Lee Prentiss were there for eight days.

 

 

Kaiser, 12, pictured at home in Indianapolis, Indiana, was deployed to the World Trade Center on September 11 and searched tirelessly for people in the rubble.

 


 

 

Bretagne and his owner Denise Corliss from Cypress, Texas, arrived at the site in New York on September 17, remaining there for ten days

 

Guinness, 15, from Highland, California, started work at the site with Sheila McKee on the morning of September 13 and was deployed at the site for 11 days

 

 

Merlyn and his handler Matt Claussen were deployed to Ground Zero on September 24, working the night shift for five days 

 

Red, 11, from Annapolis, Maryland, went with Heather Roche to the Pentagon from September 16 until the 27 as part of the Bay Area Recovery canines

 

Abigail, above, was deployed on the evening of September 17, searching for 10 days while Tuff arrived in New York at 11:00 pm on the day of attack to start working early the next day

Handler Julie Noyes and Hoke were deployed to the World Trade Center from their home in Denver on September 24 and searched for five days

Scout and another unknown dog lie among the rubble at Ground Zero, just two of nearly 100 search and rescue animals who helped to search for survivors

During the chaos of the 9/11 attacks, where almost 3,000 people died, nearly 100 loyal search and rescue dogs and their brave owners scoured Ground Zero for survivors.

 

 

Now, ten years on, just 12 of these heroic canines survive, and they have been commemorated in a touching series of portraits entitled 'Retrieved'.

Now, ten years on, just 12 of these heroic canines survive, and they have been commemorated in a touching series of portraits entitled 'Retrieved'.

The dogs worked tirelessly to search for anyone trapped alive in the rubble, along with countless emergency service workers and members of the public.

Traveling across nine states in the U.S. from Texas to Maryland, Dutch photographer Charlotte Dumas, 34, captured the remaining dogs in their twilight years in their homes where they still live with their handlers, a full decade on from 9/11.

Their stories have now been compiled in a book, called Retrieved, which is published on Friday, the tenth anniversary of the attacks.

Noted for her touching portraits of animals, especially dogs, Charlotte wanted 'Retrieved' to mark not only the anniversary of the September 2001 attacks, but also as recognition for some of the first responders and their dogs.

'I felt this was a turning point, especially for the dogs, who although are not forgotten, are not as prominent as the human stories involved,' explained Charlotte, who splits her time between New York and Amsterdam.

'They speak to us as a different species and animals are greatly important for our sense of empathy and to put things into perspective.'

Jaxs found this cool story and hopes that you enjoy it as much as he does.

MY BIRTHDAY WISH

Hi I am Jaxs of Creative Images by Jaxs and Kim. My birthday is Saturday September 17th and i have a birthday wish I would like to share with you.

 

It is my wish that others help to provide Solar Air Heat for Native Americans.

 

Did you know that Native American Families spend up to 70% of their  total income just to heat their homes during the winter months? And heating options are few: expensive electricity, polluting propane, or firewood from the few trees that remain. The weather is cold and harsh in this part of the country leaving some of the poorest communities in this nation struggling to keep warm.

 

Please consider donating to this worthy cause.
