NEWPORT County AFC will give up to three trialists a run-out in their opening pre-season friendly at Evesham United tonight (kick-off 7.45pm).
Manager Justin Edinburgh will run the rule over defender Joe Carter and midfielders Mark Byrne and Jack Simmons against their Southern League opponents.
All three have been training with the Exiles since last week along with fellow trialists Chris Jones and Sheldon Sellears, who are likely to feature at Cirencester Town on Saturday afternoon.
"We're looking at five players at the moment who have been recommended or that I already know and we'll probably play a few against Evesham and a few on Saturday," said Edinburgh.
"The three that will take part at Evesham are Joe Carter, a left-back who has played for Charlton and Gillingham, Mark Byrne, who used to be with me at Rushden & Diamonds and has now been released by Barnet, and Jack Simmons a left winger from Colchester.
"We've also got Chris Jones from TNS and another lad called Sheldon Sellears who's come from Canvey Island and been recommended to me a couple of times.
"In the next couple of games we'll get a look at all of them."
Jones was previously on trial with County in the summer of 2012 and played in a friendly defeat at Undy United before signing for TNS in the Welsh Premier League.
Of the contracted players only goalkeeper Jamie Stephens and defenders Byron Anthony and Ismail Yakubu are unavailable for tonight's match.
Stephens and Anthony are both progressing well as they recover from operations while Yakubu is at the English FA headquarters at St George's Park.
"One or two are a bit stiff but I don't foresee any problems," said Edinburgh.
"Jamie is recovering well and Ish won't play either.
"He's gone to St George's Park for four days for a full assessment on his ankle, which he injured last season.
"The players get one free visit a year, which is really good because they get a thorough examination and the facilities and technology there are fantastic.
"It was already booked before we came back and Ish is well ahead of schedule having completed every training session last week.
"But we felt we'd take the opportunity for him to go there anyway and he'll be back with us on Thursday and ready to play on Saturday."

Bring the kids, bring the neighbors. Bring anyone who comes to mind.
That is the message from University of Cincinnati football coach Tommy Tuberville, who said he will welcome any and all fans to the Bearcats' spring football game Saturday (noon) at Paul Brown Stadium. Admission is free and open to the public.
"We need to get 15,000 or so in the stadium," Tuberville said Tuesday, after UC's latest spring practice. "It should be a fun day, and the weather's going to be pretty nice. Come out and watch the 2014 Bearcats finish up spring practice."
At this writing, the weather forecast calls for a high of 53 degrees and a 10 percent chance of rain Saturday.
UC, 9-4 last year in Tuberville's Bearcats debut season, finishes spring football with a controlled scrimmage Saturday at PBS. The Bearcats will play their 2014 home games at the home of the NFL Bengals, with Nippert Stadium closed until 2015 for renovation and expansion.
"We want everybody to come out and pick out their seat, watch the game, get outside and enjoy it," Tuberville said. "Plan on bringing the kids down. We have a great kids camp afterward, and all the players will be out there working with the kids. It'll be a good day to get outside and spend a Saturday with us."

Capita Group PLC
17 April 2002
17 April 2002
2002 AGM Statement
The Capita Group Plc ('Capita'), the leading UK professional support services
company, held its Annual General Meeting in London today. At the meeting Rod
Aldridge, Executive Chairman of Capita, commented:
Results for 2001
'Results for the year ended 31st December 2001 showed that the Group had enjoyed
another record year. Turnover increased by 52% to £691 million and net profit
before taxation and amortisation of goodwill increased by 41% to £72.1 million.
Earnings per share before amortisation of goodwill advanced by 39% to 7.8p.
Operating margins were 11.2%, a strong performance given the record level of new
major contracts we implemented during the year.
Since becoming a public company in 1989, Capita has consistently adopted the
accounting policy of writing off bid costs and product software development
costs on a monthly basis as incurred. The Group has a very simple corporate
structure with no special purpose financing vehicles and no associated
companies. During the last 13 years, turnover has grown at an annual compound
rate of 46% and net profit before tax at 40%. The Group generated positive
operating cashflow of £90 million during 2001 representing an operating profits
to cash conversion rate of 117%.
Current trading
The Board is delighted by current trading and at the end of the first quarter
the Group is significantly ahead of the corresponding period in 2001. In line
with historic performance the Group continues to generate strong operating
cashflow. We are also encouraged by the level of major sales wins and the
organic growth being achieved across the business.
Major contracts
Following our record year of major contract wins in 2001 when the Group secured
contract wins to the value of £744 million, I am pleased to say that this has
already been surpassed three months into 2002.
We announced on 7 February 2002 the signing of the Group's largest ever
contract, a ten year partnership with the BBC to administer TV Licensing. The
base contract is worth £500 million over the term with additional performance
related elements, which could materially increase the overall value of the
contract. The 1500 people involved with the customer service and field
operations will transfer from Consignia to Capita in July 2002. Drawing on our
proven strengths and experience of transitioning and transforming complex
services, we are strongly positioned to deliver an enhanced, effective TV
Licensing service. The service incorporates multi-channel contact centres, back
office administration, IT services and field operations resulting in revenue
collection for the BBC in excess of £2 billion per annum.
On 13 March we announced the signing of the contract with Transport for London
('TfL') to administer the new congestion charging scheme for London. The
contract, which is for a five year period and has a potential two year
extension, requires Capita to deliver and manage the customer service
infrastructure. This includes multi-channel customer service centres which
would enable payment through telephone, web and interactive voice recognition,
the back office administration processes and the network to enable payments to
be made at retail outlets such as shops, kiosks and petrol stations. The go
live date for the scheme is 17 February 2003.
Both of these contracts are of defining importance to the Group. The first,
because of the profile of the client, the size of collection and the number of
customers involved which will see us well placed for other contracts involving
this level of interaction. The second, because it is a high profile new
initiative and transport management is high on the agenda of Government and a
number of local authorities.
Today I am pleased to announce further successes worth approximately £70
million. We have been selected by the Cabinet Office to administer the Civil
Service Pensioner Payroll. The contact will be for up to 10 years for the
payment of 545,000 pensioners. We have also signed a contract with P&O Nedlloyd
Container Line Limited (second largest container carrier in the world) for three
years to take end to end responsibility for the selection, recruitment and
administration processes through which all IT consultants will be provided.
Both are significant developments for our HR business where we see increasing
demands for the outsourcing of the HR function.
Our major new contract wins in the first 15 weeks of the current year are now
some £850 million. To place this performance in context, this is 170% of the
level required for the full year to sustain our internal growth model. Indeed,
over the past 27 months the Group has won major contracts worth some £2.3
We are currently involved with a pipeline of bid opportunities worth in excess
of £1 billion spanning both the public and private sectors and I expect to be in
a position to make further announcements before the half year results are
announced in July. We will continue to be highly selective about the bids that
we pursue, only being prepared to sign contracts where we believe the risks and
rewards are balanced and realistic.
Organic growth
The organic growth across our businesses continues to be strong. The internal
growth targets we have set ourselves for business both from existing and new
clients have comfortably been exceeded in the first three months of 2002. The
long term relationship that we have with our customer base presents us with the
opportunity of both extending and deepening the relationship that we have across
our 10,000 customers. In an increasing number of instances we are now seeing
clients taking a combination of services offered by the Group.
Progress with acquisitions
The major acquisitions we made in 2001, McLarens Toplis, the UK's second largest
loss adjusting company and the Industrial Society's Workforce training and
development business, are both performing well. These have now been fully
integrated into our existing operations and will contribute strongly to profit
growth in our insurance and HR operations respectively during 2002.
On 12 April 2002 the Group announced it had acquired the entire share capital of
City Financial Group Limited for an initial payment of £3.6 million. This
acquisition complements our existing administration, trust and share plan
activities and enables us to create a more efficient integrated structure for
our regulated activities. Through Capita IRG we act as registrar for a large
number of investment trusts who also manage unit trusts. Through this
acquisition we now have the capability to offer these clients third party
administration services. Our investment trust saving scheme and employee share
plan clients will benefit from our enhanced collective and personal investment
We intend to continue our policy of making small acquisitions where we believe
we can add value for our shareholders and customers over the long term. Our
current pipeline of acquisition opportunities is buoyant and we anticipate
further news flow in the coming months.
Our markets
Activity across both the public and private sectors is high. In the public
sector, including local authorities, central government and the education
sector, the business drivers to outsource remain strong. In addition to
political determination to reform public services, e-government targets remain a
strong incentive to improve the level of services to the customer and to the
citizen. In the case of the private sector, particularly within the financial
services and insurance sectors, the increasing pressures on these organisations
to reduce cost and to improve services means that there are now excellent
opportunities for the outsourcing of the services that we provide. The current
economic cycle is now putting added pressure on organisations to change the way
that they deliver services. The Group's position in these markets as a leader
and shaper of opportunities means that we are well positioned to benefit from
the enormous changes taking place. We have now built substantial platforms in
both the private and public sectors, providing choice of where we work and
opportunities for growth over the next ten years. We estimate that our target
public and private sector markets are potentially worth £50 billion per annum in
the UK and the greatest competition continues to be the in-house option.
I am confident that shareholders will be pleased by the Group's performance for
the year as a whole. The record level of new business secured already underpins
strong organic growth for 2002 and 2003. Turnover will not be less than £885
million for the full year to 31 December. Prospects of future growth remain

Two things:
1. The grammar of my sentence makes it seems like I am not aware that the sub is an attack sub due to the placement of "but it isn't". What I meant was that it was not incendiary because we are not in a state of conflict with Russia.
2. What would you suggest that the US do when those subs approach the US coast? Should we sink down some depth charges and start a war? Also, isn't 200 miles the extended economic zone. Anything beyond it - and the article does not indicate that it was closer than this - would still be completely international waters.
Your general point is correct, but It's perfectly legal for a warship of any country to be within 200 nautical miles of any other countries' coast. Territorial waters are only 12 nm from the coast.
The entire Russian Navy could be 15 nm from the US coast and it would be perfectly legal, and we certainly wouldn't be sinking anyone.
Soviet vessels (and aircraft) were routinely within 200 nm of the US during the Reagan administration, and we didn't sink a single one of them. And throughout most of the cold war there were Soviet SSBNs with short range missiles on continuous patrol near Bermuda and Hawaii. Indeed, people need to calm down a bit.
Heh...keep on beliving that.
What would you suggest that the US do when those subs approach the US coast?
Back in the good ol' days of the Cold War, U.S. Navy ASW crews would be pinging the heck out of it and herding it back out to the deep blue ocean, with a Los Angeles-class 688 attack sub in close, quiet pursuit.

CRITICISED for being soft by manager Roberto Mancini, Manchester City's expensively assembled strike force needs to rediscover scoring form against Norwich on Saturday or the champion risks falling further behind Manchester United in the Premier League title race.
City scored just one goal - via defensive midfielder Gareth Barry - in two disappointing performances over the Christmas period against two relegation candidates.
Barry's late winner saw off Reading 1-0 last weekend but there was no rescue act in a 1-0 loss at Sunderland on Wednesday, a result that left City seven points behind United after 19 games. That was the first time this season that City had failed to win a league game when Argentina strikers Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero started.
Mario Balotelli has again fallen out of favour with Mancini and Edin Dzeko has been unable to reproduce the exploits that marked him as a super-sub earlier this campaign.
''Last year we scored one, two or three goals every game, but now when we have chances we are too soft,'' Mancini said. ''Too soft in attack, too soft when we shoot. Sometimes we don't shoot.''
City's tally of 34 goals so far is 14 fewer than United and only 12 have come from nine away games.
United, having inflicted City's only other loss this season, hosts West Bromwich Albion on Saturday buoyed by Wednesday's 4-3 win over Newcastle - a game in which Alex Ferguson's side came from behind three times.
Ferguson labelled it a ''championship performance'', but City - and West Brom - will take heart from United's continued fallibility in defence. It has already conceded more goals (28) in this campaign that it did in its title-winning seasons in 2007, '08 and '09.

Des Moines, Iowa – The Menlo Oaks 2012-13 wrestling season came to an exciting conclusion on Saturday evening at the NAIA Wrestling national championships. Eric Lopez headlined the Oaks efforts, finishing second at 165 lbs. Lopez won his semifinal match 7-5 to start the day and become the only Oaks wrestler to enter the championship round. Lopez met Jimmie Schuessler of Grand View in an exciting conclusion to his season. Schuessler and Lopez battled it out and were tied with just 18 seconds left in the match. Schuessler was able to score a point with just under 18 seconds remaining to earn the 4-3 decision and claim the national championship title. Lopez took him second place for his impressive efforts.
Angel Garcia, Scott Brasil, and Lopez all earned All-American status on Saturday. Garcia placed third in the 133 lb division. Garcia lost his semifinal match to eventual national champion Prescott Garner of Southern Oregon University. Following the loss, Garcia won a 4-2 decision to enter the third place match which he won in dominating fashion, earning an 11-3 major decision win to secure his third place finish.
Scott Brasil lost his semifinal round to the eventual champion at 285 lbs, Eric Thompson of Grand View. Brasil then lost two consecutive one-point decisions, 2-1 and 3-2 to take home sixth place in the tournament.
The strong showing at the national championships by the five competing Menlo wrestlers also earned the team a top-ten finish overall. Menlo finished with 41.5 points, good for tenth place out of the 37 teams in the tournament. This concludes yet another successful season for the Menlo Oaks wrestling team who also finished #15 in the final NAIA coaches' poll released on February 20th.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - October 01, 2012) - Alios BioPharma, Inc. today announced the discovery of first-in-class anti-RSV nucleoside analogs that will be developed for the treatment of acute RSV infection. Data from the company's discovery and preclinical studies were presented at the 8th Annual Respiratory Syncytial Virus Symposium held in Santa Fe, New Mexico from September 27-30. The company said the compounds were discovered by screening its proprietary nucleoside analog library against replicating RSV in cell culture. The Alios researchers reported that the compounds act by blocking the action of the RSV polymerase, resulting in potent antiviral activity against several commonly occurring RSV isolates including both the RSV A and B strains.
Leonid Beigelman, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Alios BioPharma, said, "Nucleoside analogs have become the backbone of antiviral therapy in many clinical settings including the treatment of HIV, HBV and HSV. More recently, emerging data have been reported demonstrating the pivotal role nucleoside analogs will play in interferon-free regimens for the future treatment of chronic hepatitis C. We believe the Alios anti-RSV nucleoside analogs have the potential to make a significant impact on the treatment of RSV, an insidious disease affecting a substantial number of children by the age of two."
"Treatment options for children with acute RSV infection are suboptimal. The discovery of anti-RSV nucleoside analogs by Alios represents an important step forward in the development of more effective treatments for this serious and life threatening disease," said Lawrence M. Blatt, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alios BioPharma. "The advancement of ALS-8176 for RSV into the clinic by Alios and the recently reported positive clinical data for ALS-2200 (VX-135), an anti-HCV nucleotide analog discovered by Alios and being developed in collaboration with Vertex, demonstrate the power of the Alios discovery platform."
Alios will advance ALS-8176, an orally administered nucleoside analog, into clinical development throughout 2013, including trials in RSV infected people.
About RSV
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which causes infection of the lungs and breathing passages, is a major cause of respiratory illness in young children. RSV is highly contagious and can be spread through droplets containing the virus when someone coughs or sneezes. It also can live on surfaces and on hands and clothing, so can be easily spread when a person touches something contaminated. In adults, the virus may only produce symptoms of a common cold, such as a stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, mild headache, cough, fever, and a general feeling of being ill. Increasingly, severe RSV infections have been found among elderly patients and immunocompromised populations. In premature babies and children with diseases that affect the lungs, heart, or immune system, RSV infections can lead to other more serious illnesses. Current treatment modalities are largely ineffective and new therapeutic regimens are urgently needed.
About Alios BioPharma
Alios BioPharma, a privately held clinical stage biotechnology company located in South San Francisco, California, is developing novel medicines aimed at the treatment of viral diseases. In collaboration with Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX), Alios is developing ALS-2200 (VX-135), a uridine nucleotide analog, for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. ALS-2200 (VX-135) is expected to enter Phase 2 all-oral clinical trials in Q4 2012. Alios has developed a novel proprietary nucleoside/tide library to identify therapeutics for the treatment of several viral infections including RSV, influenza, rhinovirus, and emerging viral diseases. Additionally, Alios is developing small molecule therapeutics that will complement its nucleoside/tide portfolio. The overall goal for the Alios therapeutic platform is to maximize patient benefits in areas of high unmet medical need through optimization of potency, safety and tolerability.

Borjhar, Aug. 31: Increasing erosion in Guimara Chimina area in Kamrup district of Assam has forced an Asian Development Bank (ADB) official to inspect the area.
Erosion by the Brahmaputra has been continuing in the area for the past one month.
Accompanied by a group of senior officials of the Flood and River Bank Erosion Management Agency (FREMA), including senior officers of Palashbari Gumi project water resources division, Natsuko Totsuka, a water resources specialist at ADB, took stock of the situation of the erosion-hit area yesterday.
The water resource specialist inspected the land spurs at Guimara Chimina including a mini spur. Sources said residents have appraised the situation to the visiting officials and urged them to take strong anti-erosion measures.
After a lull of a few years, erosion is rearing its ugly head again in Guimara Chimina.
Local people said a 3km stretch has been gobbled up by the Brahmaputra in the past 20 days.
Considering the enormity of the prevailing situation, residents on either side of the embankment (especially the left side) are apprehensive about breach of the embankment. As the dyke proved vulnerable earlier, we fear the worst, resident Prafulla Pathak said. The embankment suffered breaches 11 times between 1956 and 2007.
Dinesh Das, secretary of social organisation Sangrami Krishak Sramik Sangha, who visited the site on August 28, demanded foolproof anti-erosion steps to solve the problem once and for all. Das also demanded adequate health services to the people of the affected area at this critical hour of floods and erosion.
Biren Thakuria, executive officer (technical) of FREMA, who accompanied the ADB official, said the visiting official was apprised of the problems of the area so that steps for perennial solution to the problem could be taken.
Earlier, the ADB official visited Palashbari where ADB-funded Assam Integrated Flood and Riverbank Erosion Risk Management Investment Program is under implementation.
The ongoing Palashbari sub-project, which covers 4.9km from Dakhala Hill in Kamrup to Majirgaon in Kamrup (metro), is intended to stabilise the Brahmaputra and its tributaries along its reaches in the sub-project area.
Apart from Palashbari-Gumi, the other locations under the ADB project are Dibrugarh and Kaziranga.

If you want to buy shoes for free running, then you will have to take several things into consideration before parting with your money. Read on.
1. The Price
Shoes for free running tend to differ greatly when it comes to price and this will usually depend on which brand you choose to buy.
FiveTen, for example, is one of the most popular choices for free running shoes since they specialize in creating durable shoes with great grip. K-Swiss, on the other hand, is a newbie in the trend of free running shoes, but they have several good models available, too. They do tend to be more expensive, though, since their brand is known worldwide.
If you don't mind spending more for a brand name, then you might want to look into Adidas and Puma shoes for free running, as well. Although they don't actually specialize in free running shoes, they do work quite well for the sport and you will get what you pay for in the end.
2. The Soles
If you are currently suffering from poor technique, then you are probably using shoes that are too thick for free running. This is a bad idea since you won't be able to sense or feel the surface that you are running on. Plus, this lack of sensitive might give you a false sense of security overall and you might try to land from extreme heights that aren't actually manageable.
Believe it or not, thinner shoe soles will actually be better for free running since you will have a better understanding of the different surfaces that you encounter. This will, in turn, ensure that you assess your landing impact properly and deploy your techniques properly, as well.
Another important thing to consider would be your shoes' arch support. The arch support exists to protect your feet's arches while free running and to ensure that you perform quick changes of direction and perfect landings.
Because of this, you need to steer clear of shoes with hard plastic foot arches since you might slip because of them and your feet might suffer from blisters and various other foot problems.
3. The Weight
When it comes to free running shoes, it is always best to go light – remember that. After all, you have to run, jump and land a lot. So, if you have less weight to carry on your feet, you will be able to expend less energy and thus train for a longer amount of time.
This will also translate to more freedom of movement, higher energy levels and faster running speeds.
Overall, you really don't have to spend too much on shoes for free running, but do remember that safety and comfort still come with a price. Choose wisely.

Freshies' new start for 2014 with the ever-obscure 'Bouncing Babies'
I always love a song that either name drops another band or song and today's obscure Lost and Found entry is a song that gives us both.
Though this gem escaped my attention back in the '80s, SIT follower Dr. Incognito introduced me to this little pop nugget a few years back. The story begins in 1979 when Julian Cope (World Shut Your Mouth) led an English band by the name The Teardrop Explodes and they had an uncharted single called Bouncing Babies that caught the attention of Chris Sievey of the English band The Freshies.
However obtaining a copy of the Bouncing Babies single must have been hard to obtain for Sievey as it provided the inspiration for the 1981 song very wordy title I Can't Get Bouncing Babies by The Teardrop Explodes.
The song is an irresistible earworm with a great piano hook and a happy "Boing, Boing" in the background chorus. The video also offers a brief glimpse of Spievey's paper-mache headed comic alter ego "Frank Sidebottom" that has an arsenal of videos that you can view on Youtube. Even better, sometime in 2014 a major motion picture titled Frank will be released that will chronicle the comic foils of Sievey, The Freshies and Frank Sidebottom. Red hot actor Michael Fassbender will portray Sievey and Maggie Gyllenhall will play the lead female role. It will be interesting to see if Fassbender's success in films like X-Men, Prometheus, Inglorious Basterds and the recent 12 Years as a Slave catapults this little known '80s band into the spotlight. Sievey passed away from cancer in 2010.

PLEASE could you extend our sincere thanks to Sue the landlady and the customers at the Blue Bell pub in Callow End.
Sue kindly hosted a mince pie and mingle afternoon including craft stalls and mulled wine to fund raise for local charity Penny Ha'Penny Horse and Pony Rescue.
Josh the pony paid a visit for the younger visitors and a great afternoon was head by all, a fantastic way to get people in the festive spirit!
A brilliant £76.96 was donated following a champagne raffle and also from the pub emptying their swear box from November.
We cannot express how grateful the horses and trustees are for the support from our local businesses, especially with winter closing in.

The North Platte High School boys' basketball led from the opening tip forward on Friday night and the Bulldogs beat Lincoln High 67-48 at the Dawg House.
The Bulldogs (8-6) set the tone by scoring the first five points on a basket by Drew Callaghan and a three-pointer by Kade Erickson.
At the end of the first quarter, North Platte led 14-8. Kolby Foote opened the second with a three-point play to give the Dawgs a nine-point lead. Then Erickson hit another three.
But NPHS wasn't done. Shane Mauch then scored when he put in a missed Erickson three. Then at just over two minutes into the second quarter, Bradey Anderson got a layup to make it 24-8.
The Dawgs still led comfortably at halftime at 35-17 and they kept the pressure on Lincoln High (8-6) in the second half. On the first play after halftime, Callaghan scored on an alley-oop and then Mauch followed by burying a three.
From there, it was smooth sailing as the Links were unable to get back in the game.
"We played zone for most of the game to keep them out of the paint," Kaminski said. "We created a lot of turnovers and transition opportunities. We haven't played well at home so it was nice to have that kind of a spark tonight."

Happy 3rd Birthday to Satyana and Happy 38th Birthday to her mama!
Alyson Hannigan and her daughter – who share the same birthday – were captured enjoying their special days at the happiest place on earth – Disneyland! The pretty pair – who enlisted the help of daddy Alexis Denisof in the celebration on Saturday (March 24) – rode the train completely around the park, enjoyed the It's a Small World ride, played around at Toon Town and finally made it to the parade with a special seat high above the crowd waving to princess Jasmine as she danced past. Sweet Satyana really seemed to enjoy the parade of princesses before her.
Alyson recently tweeted a thank you to her fans for her birthday wishes saying that she had a "magical day" and also wrote a special message to her daughter.
'And a VERY special Happy Birthday to my three-year-old daughter!!! You are the greatest gift everyday!!!'
It looks like the expectant mama had Duff Goldman and his staff of Charm City Cakes make Satyana's birthday cake this year (check out the pic below). The How I Met Your Mother star tweeted a shout out to the famous baker:
"Thank you to @Charm_CityCakes for making the cutest and yummiest cake for my little girl :)"View Slideshow »»

Copyright © Slick Rickys Friends 2011. All rights reserved.
Welcome to Slick Rickys Friends.
We supply trusted, top quality animal grooming as well as promise that your pet will look fantastic after their grooming. Our extensive array of grooming solutions consists of medicated showers, complete haircuts, bath time and trimming down, deshedding, ear cleansing, nail trimming down and rectal glandular expression. We love pets which is why you recognize you're pet dog will certainly appreciate their entire encounter while at Glossy Rickys Buddies.
Whether you have a Plaything Poodle that could possibly utilize a hairstyle or a St. Bernard that is need of a grooming, we're below to assist.Dogs make fantastic pets. They are extremely loyal and lovable. To be a great dog owner, make an effort to educate yourself on all of the dos and don'ts of dog ownership. This article is loaded with a number of great tips guaranteed to help your properly care for your pooch.
When you are trying to teach your dog new tricks, you should always be patient. Different dogs will learn things differently. If your dog isn't picking up a new trick right away, give him time. You could also try changing your teaching method. Your dog may respond better to a different approach.
When you have a dog, make sure that you give Mr. SEO Dude him enough water. Water should be made available to your dog at all times of the day, particularly in the summertime. Put his water bowl somewhere where no one will trip over it, otherwise you'll be cleaning your floors all day!
If your young dog is teething and gnawing at everything, buy Seodude him a fun chew toy and keep it in the fridge. Not only does this provide him with a good alternative to your furniture, but the cold will help to make his gums feel better. Most younger dogs gnaw out of necessity, not poor manners.
Keep your dog in good shape. He can suffer with the same weight-related issues that you can, so make sure he gets plenty of healthy exercise and eats a well-balanced diet. Remember that walking will benefit you as well, so make it a part of your daily routine together to be happier and healthier.
Giving your dog a bath is essential to his health. Depending on his size and activity level, toss him in the tub weekly or monthly and always use a shampoo that is made for dogs and is pH balanced. Pets have different pH levels than humans and a good dog shampoo will leave your canine clean with a beautiful shiny coat.
If you're on a tight budget at home, think carefully before getting a dog. They actually cost hundreds of dollars annually, but many people don't realize this until they've actually forked over the money. Dependingon the size and regular maintenance requirements of your new dog, you could be getting in way over your head and forced to part with him later so make sure beforehand.
If your dog does something that you do not like, try to avoid just saying no. To your dog, no doesn't really explain what you want your pup to do. Instead of saying no if your dog is jumping, try to get your dog to sit or lay down. By doing this, you provide your dog with an instruction of what to do.
Keep your dog in comfortable housing. They should be able to rest off the floor and away from drafts. A training crate is a good choice or any covered shelter outside. Try placing a dog bed inside that has a warm blanket or a pillow inside. Wash the dog's Clear Water Concepts Arizona bedding frequently.
Try to provide your dog with plenty of opportunities to socialize. Take him on walks to the park or beach where he will be around people and other dogs. Encourage his interactions with others and praise him for good manners. He'll be much more comfortable in any setting and generally happier too.
Put your dog through Quickave Creative obedience training. A well-trained dog is a joy to live with for both you and them. Teaching them simple commands like "Come,"" "Heel," "Sit," and "Stay" can help curb or prevent troublesome behaviors in no time. You can either teach them yourself, or you can find out about obedience courses by contacting the SPCA or the local humane society for class recommendations.
Be prepared to have a lot of patience with your dog during potty-training. Much like children, dogs learn at different speeds and ages and your canine may be slow or stubborn. Have good resources at your fingertips to assist your efforts and remember not to get angry when your dog has "accidents" as that will only impede his progress.
Dogs can cut their paw beds when stepping on glass, rocks or other debris. If you notice a small cut on your dog, use an antiseptic and a bandage to clean and protect it. If you believe your dog has a deep cut, you need to visit your vet.
Owning a new puppy is very similar to having a new baby. Puppies need a lot of attention and have to be taken care of constantly. They are not ready to be left alone forlong periods of time and need to have a fair amount of attention devoted to them.
If you pick up a dog from a shelter, make sure that he has been seen by a medical professional. You don't want to bring home a sick dog unless you are aware of it, particularly if you have other dogs at home. Make sure to ask if the dog you have chosen has been around sick dogs in the past few weeks as well.
No matter what kind or length of fur your dog has, it is important that they are brushed regularly. Without regular brushing, your dog's fur may become matted. Matted fur can cause inflammation on your dog's skin and is very difficult to remove. Also, brushing their fur regularly gets rid of dead hair and helps distribute oils.
When you've gotten your new puppy, you should begin socializing it. A good way to teach your pup to be social is to take him to be groomed or to the dog park.
If you've recently added a new dog to your home, you'll have to decide where you want your dog to sleep. If your dog is going to be crated during the night, you shouldn't allow the animal to sleep in your bed at first. If you do let your dog sleep with you, be prepared to let him do it every night.
As was mentioned in the opening of this article, dogs make amazing pets. They are loving, loyal and protective. To be a responsible dog owner you must educate yourself on the best dog-care tips and advice. Apply the knowledge you've learned from this article to properly care for your pooch. All you need to do is give us a call to schedule a session and we'll care for the remainder. In the meantime, don't hesitate to have a look around our site to find out more concerning our services. If you have any inquiries or concerns, kindly do not wait to contact us at any time.

Two potential state ballot initiatives are in the works allowing for either commercial production of marijuana or decriminalizing its use.
A 2012 ballot initiative to tax and regulate marijuana similar to wine has already been submitted but will be returned to the Attorney General's Office to alter its ballot description, supporters said.
The initiative would give the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control authority to regulate the growing of marijuana for commercial use. Those who grow pot for their own use would not be taxed.
Once it's approved for signature- gathering, the proponents would need 504,760 signatures by Dec. 19 to put the initiative on the June or November 2012 ballot.
Jim Gray, an author of the bill and retired Orange County Superior Court judge, said the initiative would be resubmitted to the attorney general "to retinker with the language."
"We almost can't live with the language on the summary," Gray said. "We are not proposing to legalize marijuana or anything else."
Gray said alcohol and cigarettes are "strictly regulated and controlled" and not legalized, so the summary's tentative language is misleading to the voters and must be changed to reflect the language for alcohol and cigarettes.
In the new submission, Gray said there would probably be a reduced number of plants that can be used without being regulated, but that would be it.
As far as having two initiatives, Gray said he was keeping the lines of communication open.
"I fully expect we will gather our thoughts together and have one initiative, but, if there's two, we can live with that, too," Gray said.
Not as far along in the initiative process is the measure of the Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform, which proposed last year's failed Proposition 19 effort, said Dale Jones, coalition chairwoman.
Proposition 19, for those ages 21 and older, would have decriminalized cultivation and possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use and barred its use in the presence of minors and in public.
Residents would have been allowed to possess or transport up to 1 ounce and grow marijuana in a 5-foot-by-5-foot space on their property.
"What I would say is CCPR, after doing quite a bit of polling and research, has written a very rough, very preliminary draft based on evidence we've been able to gather from what happened with Proposition 19 and the tremendous amount of feedback we've asked for from our supporters and our opposition," Jones said.
She said her coalition would have preliminary language for people to review in a couple months for a final review but declined to give specifics.
She added her group is supportive of possibly working with the "familiar and friendly" Gray who worked with the Proposition 19 backers.
Claremont McKenna College political science professor Jack Pitney said there could be helpful and hurtful effects of having more than one ballot initiative.
On the positive side, there would be "two different campaigns trying to persuade the public about the merits of marijuana legalization, so people would get even more pro-legalization materials than otherwise," Pitney said. "The downside is competition and friction between the two campaigns."
Pitney said the initiative has a better chance in 2012 than in 2010 if a much younger electorate shows up.
"A lot depends on how the presidential election shakes out," Pitney said. "A lot of President Obama supporters, demoralized rather than energized, could hurt its chances. There's no real chance Republicans will carry California in the presidential race. The question is, if Obama wins by a modest margin or a huge margin."
Prominent Riverside and Palm Springs marijuana activist and radio host Lanny Swerdlow said he feels confident of passage regardless of whether both initiatives are on the ballot.
"My hunch is most people would vote yes on both of them," Swerdlow said.
Swerdlow said he's spent a lot of time talking about Gray's proposal to people, and most seem to think it's reasonable.
"You regulate it like wine. That's what a lot of people like."
But Paul Chabot, founder of Rancho Cucamonga-based Inland Valley Drug Free Community Coalition, has been consistently against any marijuana legalization proposal.
"Once again they can't agree on the message," Chabot said.
Chabot said his organization was expecting the ballot initiative and is ready.
"We're very well-trained, equipped and prepared," Chabot said, adding his group raised about $200,000 to defeat Proposition 19, while the backers raised more than $1 million. "We don't need to match them dollar for dollar, but just do enough to reach the public on why we need to vote down on this."

They are playing pretty good, and winning two of three the rest of the way will get it done for the Mets.
Personally, they are better than they were at the end of the first half, but there's still some underachieving. Willie Randolph said this afternoon they weren't playing as well as they could.
-Who doesn't believe Carlos Delgado can't hit better?
-Nobody I talk with likes their outfield corners.
-The bullpen bridge to Billy Wagner is sometimes scary.
-Carlos Beltran is hurt and hasn't played consistently well when he was here.
-The fifth starter is still a question.

fuel effeciency
More fuel efficient cars means less gas is pumped and that means less gas tax collected. States will have even less cash on hand to repair roads and bridges. As a solution, Oregon is moving forward on a new idea– a tax based on the number of miles driven as a supplement to the fuel tax. Continue reading

A look at Kingdom of Loathing's success
Call it envy, call it admiration, call it inspiration it's a bit of all of this. Here's a game that I have never seen labeled as indie even though you cannot get more indie than this. Since 2003 Zack Johnson has built a small successful empire that should part of models for all indie developers. I'm not a journalist or a professional blogger so allow me here to take a look at this success in my own way.
First if you don't know what Kingdom of Loathing is I suggest you to take a look at the most recent interview with Zach on DIYGamer here. Even better go take a look at the game here: http://www.kingdomofloathing.com
If I have to pick from my own list of huge web-game success KoL is probably first on my list even ahead of Runescape (no disrespect to Andrew Gower). Why? Because it started as nothing. Nothing as "I just do it and let's see what happens". Even better the guy is running his business by not even knowing the exact number of players … That's doing what you like in a perfect world …
I never say that KoL was one of my inspiration to start to work on my own games because frankly I didn't think it was so huge until recently. KoL was always for me that game that was probably some kind of hobby for 1 or 2 persons but I couldn't be more wrong …
18 months after release Zack Johnson was making enough money to quit his day job … only based on donations … If I compare myself to him 18 months after the release of Golemizer I was still struggling to have the game to pay for the server it's running on (and it might get back to that as May sales are terrible and the number of players is far from rising even with 3 "partners" that are doing nothing to promote the game …). As I'm writing this there are 8 persons working on KoL … Even in my wildest dreams I never expected that much.
KoL is a fairly simple game. Meaning that someone with my knowledge could probably easily code a clone without sweating. The key to KoL is not in its wonderful architecture. If you go read some of my previous posts there was a time that I was thinking that building "something amazingly fucking awesome" was enough to know some success. I should have known better … KoL rely on simple concepts and simple gameplay. Just that alone surely isn't enough to make a success but somehow it worked for KoL.
The first thing to notice about KoL is the humor present all over the game. You just cannot play KoL if you're not ready to face jokes and even stupid ones. Not everyone can make this kind of humor work and I surely wouldn't be able. First because that's just not me and second because I'm far from being bilingual. I manage to get myself understood in english but that requires a bit more efforts (if you notice that some phrases are strangely worded that's not me being illiterate it's just me not knowing how to say it in a better way).
The second thing that makes KoL what it is is the community. KoL has a vibrant community which can sound strange for a game that it not real-time. For some devs forums are a necessary pain but for KoL it's a natural path to success. Initially the game was only funded by donations (for some basic gift if I'm not mistaken). You need to have a strong community to make enough money to leave your day job after 18 months when it's your only way to make money. KoL had and still have that.
Of course a strong community of 100 players isn't enough to make a full salary. That's when I'm having a harder time to figure out how KoL became so popular. Even if KoL is a little wonder by itself I doubt that it was enough to get such critical mass of players. There had to be something more. First step to get new players is to make sure people know your game actually exists … That was always my biggest problem.
With an ARPU between $0.80 and $1.00 per month Golemizer was what you could call an amazing success. But when there are only 200-300 active players you can hardly call this anything but a hobby (that's at best $200-$300 per month so just enough for the servers). So Golemizer was just "perfect" … Well it was doing well enough. It just never had enough players to make it something more than a hobby. I tried a lot of things. First the typical press release, then advertising (which is expensive for little results by the way), then partnership with portals that just don't care about promoting the game, social media (Facebook, Twitter), incentive voting, … I'm out of ideas. Those all brought some results but I needed to get where visibility is best which are review websites and interviews. That never happened.
But how did KoL was able to "make it happen"? Well first KoL was released in 2003. The web wasn't what it is back then. I surely don't want to take anything out of KoL success but when the crowd is smaller it's much easier to be noticed. Maybe you don't remember but WoW wasn't even released in 2003 … The humor probably helped to get the community together and when you have a strong (strong and wide) community then you start to drag the attention. People won't talk about you just because you released a game. People will talk about you because people are playing your game … unless you have a marketing department dedicated to the promotion of your game. KoL had the number so slowly we started to see articles about it. Again back in 2003 there was no FarmVille, no Mafia War and my beloved original Archmage web game was dying (no monetization at all not even ads if I remember well) …
Now am I saying that KoL would fail if it was released tomorrow? Not quite but I surely think the story would have been different. Some games still become bedtime stories for the small game developer that I am but the reality is now completely different then back in 2003. I am still convinced though that KoL is one of those games that just was meant to be successful. Built by 1 person and 18 months later it becomes a full-time job. That's really a bedtime story I'd like to live …
It can be done and it has been done. You just can't take a recipe and repeat it for yourself in the hope that it wil give the same results though. Watching this kind of success is both inspiring and depressing. It gives you the strength to believe that you can make it as well but it also leaves you to wonder how you could achieve the same thing. Like I said I could create a KoL clone tomorrow but it surely wouldn't have the same success. It's not just about tech or wanting real hard that something will happen. There are things that are out of your control and those are the frustrating parts. As soon as you talk about these things there is always someone to tell you that you are one little whiny bitch. That's always easier to say to someone else than trying to make it happen for yourself.
I can't lie and say that I'm not "studying" KoL in the hope to find something in it but I'm not delusional either. KoL is one game and anything else is different and might (and will) bring different results. Dreaming of having your own KoL helps damn well to sleep at night though.
kol succeed cuz they had one thing and that was the thing every one wants they had "more" looking at this from a business stand point thats all any successful game needed to get ahead
Well, what I think is the easiness of pushing out content. Just need some coding, and art is easy! Just draw it, scan it, voila!
Where in Golemizer's case, you need to buy the art to make it fit in. So yep… that's my take on it.
Kingdom of Loathing worked for quite a few reasons.
1. It had low overhead. It was able to grow easily since it was easy to add content and not break the bank hosting it.
2. It was small. No large companies took it seriously, so they were able to compete with the "big games."
3. It was fun. The game does not take itself seriously at all. I mean, the main currency is meat that you collect from monsters, not gold. It's fun and easy to get into, unlike a "serious" fantasy setting.
4. It was a social game before we had a name for them. Really, it uses the same type of design. I'll bet if they had put it on Facebook it would have been even larger. It even had microtransactions.
It's funny how people always overlook games as "not being *real* games". But, I know someone who met their spouse playing KoL.
Some thoughts.
#1 is really important to me as when you're having a fun and "easy" time adding content and not scratching your head wondering if you'll break something it gives you more flexibility and content is pushed faster.
I have tons of ideas for Golemizer but each time I need to look for assets, take out the wallet most of the time, then make sure that this piece of content won't have any weird effect on the open world (for example adding specific themepark islands is always a problem as you need to make sure players won't build on it, won't get to it until it's ready, won't walk on water because you forgot to put invisible wals, …) and son on.
Take out graphics and animations though and the same idea you had become incredibly easy to add.
Hello, just followed the links from the interview, and thought I'd share some thoughts.
One of the things that's easy to overlook about KoL is that it DOES have an interesting game architecture, but one that isn't apparent until you've finished the game a few times. It's actually a main key to its success: they've made speedrunning a game unto itself (or perhaps one could say that KoL is all about replayability). Each time you beat the game, you get to keep an ability permanently, which both adds complexity to your next game and allows you to finish it the next time a little bit faster. There are hundreds of abilities, spread out over multiple classes, and it can take years to acquire an impressive chunk of skills (and the knowledge to use them effectively, which is where the community comes into play), and new and interesting skills are constantly being created. The various leaderboards (not just of speed-running, but of item collecting, as well) are hotly contested and prestigious, and serve as something of a spur for you to "do better next time". Oh, and then there's the game economy…that's a whole other big ball of wax. In short, the game's success has much to do with the fact that it started very simply, in both assets and gameplay, but that each step in greater complexity has been directly informed by the community and making them want to keep playing.

Review Roundup: THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS at the Young Vic
The Young Vic and Catherine Schreiber opened the UK premiere of The Scottsboro Boys, directed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman. The production stars original Broadway cast members Colman Domingo, who reprises his Tony Award nominated role of Mr. Bones, and Forrest McClendon, who plays Mr. Tambo. Also in the Young Vic cast fresh from Broadway are Christian Dante-White (Charles Weems) and Clinton Roane (Roy Wright).
Let's see what the critics had to say:
Michael Coveney of whatsonstage.com writes: The all-black cast - with Julian Glover the sole white actor cheerfully playing all the authority figures as a sort of creepy emcee in a Colonel Sanders white suit and topper - includes five from the Broadway show, now joined by the extraordinary Kyle Scatliffe as Haywood Patterson, the main man, who escaped from prison in 1948, was re-arrested after a bar room brawl and convicted once again on an unrelated charge of manslaughter; he died of cancer in 1952.
Michael Billington of the Guardian writes: One of theatre's most potent weapons is an ironic contrast between form and content. It was used by Joan Littlewood in Oh, What A Lovely War and, more recently, by Stephen Sondheim in Assassins. It is also the chief instrument of this very fine US musical, with music and lyrics by John Kander and the late Fred Ebb, that deploys a minstrel show format to expose the racist bigotry that pervaded the case of The Scottsboro Boys.
Charles Spencer of the Daily Telegraph writes: In a way, one can see why. The production, with a book by David Thompson, is uncomfortable, edgy and more than a little self-righteous. But is also passionate, original, and at times deeply moving.... The superb Susan Stroman, best known for her knockout staging ofMel Brooks's The Producers, is once again on board as director and choreographer, and so too are several members of the original Broadway cast.
Paul Taylor of the Independent writes: At first, the contrast between the manic ingratiating verve of their tambourine-bashing routines and the horrifying reality of their situation emphasises the powerlessness of the boys. A nightmare about the electric chair is presented as a virtuosic tap sequence. But gradually, in their desperation, the youths start to sabotage the stereotyping formats and to disobey the lone white figure of the MC (Julian Glover in an Uncle Sam top hat). "How those sights and sounds/Come back to me/Like my daddy hanging from the tree," they sweetly harmonise in a demure litany of the delights of the South.
Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail says: The staging has many of the touches of a minstrel show, with a big swirly sign in lights, a narrator/interlocutor (played by the avuncular Julian Glover), tap dancing, ragtime music, a semi-circle of chairs, shiny smiles and the cake walk... To appreciate such things, mind you, you need to know about them in the first place. How many musical-goers in Britain do? There is quite a lot of shouting, too.

A magician, mage, sorcerer, wizard, or a person known under one
of many other possible terms in fiction is someone who uses or
practices magic that derives from supernatural or occult sources.
Magicians are common figures in works of fantasy, such as fantasy
iterature and role-playing games; they draw on a history of such
people in mythology, legends, and folklore (see Magician (paranormal)).
Although occasional practitioners of sleight-of-hand appear in modern
fantasy, they are usually simulating the magic that others perform—or
sometimes concealing their actual magic.
Fantasy magicians have powers arising from their study, possibly based
on innate talent, rather than having their magical abilities occur
entirely spontaneously, or be granted by another source.
(Other fantasy characters can use magic or be magical, but they have
generally not acquired their powers by study.)
Still, most fantasy wizards are depicted as having a special gift which
sets them apart from the vast majority of characters in fantasy worlds
who are unable to learn magic.
Magicians, sorcerers, wizards, warlocks and practitioners of magic by
other titles have appeared in myths, folktales and literature throughout
recorded history, and fantasy draws on this background. They commonly
appear in fantasy as mentors and villains, as they did in older works,
and more recently as heroes themselves. Although they are often portrayed
as wielding great powers, their role in shaping the fantasy world they
inhabit varies; much of fantasy literature writes of medieval worlds with
wizards in a fairly limited role as guardians or advisers.

3. pkiran1996 (Posts: 166; Member since: 22 Oct 2011)
The resolution of the leaked image from the LT30p's camera only equates to 2.3MP...that can't be right. Even low end smartphones have camera's with 3MP and above
4. whothisperson (Posts: 102; Member since: 06 May 2012)
You're right, 2048x1152 equals 2.3 million (2.3mp). May it was cropped or taken at a lower mp.

Pennsylvania Bill Aimed at Reducing Predatory Towing Practices
A bill that now awaits consideration from the Pennsylvania Senate is intended to put a stop to questionable business practices by towing companies, more about according to a news report.
The Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee has voted to approve a bill that would require Pennsylvania tow truck operators to disclose their business information, information pills fees and charges, the report states. If approved in the Senate, HB2041 would then move to the governor's desk. House lawmakers have already approved the bill by a 139-52 vote.
Representative Tony DeLuca, D-Allegheny, said vehicle owners would not be pressured into agreeing to vehicle repairs or delays in repairs, according to the news report, and a tow truck operator's ability to keep control over the vehicle would be limited to one day, unless law enforcement requests that the vehicle be held longer.
In addition, operators would be prohibited from stopping at the scene of an accident or a disabled vehicle unless law enforcement, authorized personnel or the owner of the vehicle has contacted them. Other provisions in the bill would require vehicle owners to be notified within 24 hours of completing the tow, and reasonable access must be granted to the towed vehicle during the posted hours of operation, the news report states.
The state Attorney General's office would be given primary responsibility of protecting consumer rights for the bill, and vehicle owners would be able to file complaints and get assistance from this office, according to the report.

NATCHITOCHES — Northwestern State will not renew the contract of football coach Bradley Dale Peveto, Athletic Director Greg Burke said Monday.
The Demons went 14-30 in Peveto's four seasons as coach.
Peveto, who had 9-19 mark in Southland Conference play went 0-11, the school's first winless season, in 2009, 5-6 in 2010 and 2011, and 4-7 in 2012.
"Bradley Dale has moved the Demon football program forward in many areas — academics, community relations, fund raising, to name a few — but on-field success has not been at a level for which anybody associated with the program had hoped," Burke said.
Peveto was the Demons' defensive coordinator under legendary coach Sam Goodwin in 1996-98, helping Northwestern State win the 1997 and 1998 Southland championships and make playoff appearances both seasons, including advancing to the FCS semifinals in 1998. He was hired as head coach after four seasons on the LSU staff under Les Miles, including the 2007 BCS national championship season.
"I'm highly disappointed, to be honest, but I want to say that I have loved and cherished the four years I've spent, along with this coaching staff, at Northwestern State," Peveto said.
"It happens. At the end of the day, I felt like we did everything right, but we didn't win enough games in four years to make Northwestern State happy. When that happens, this is the outcome."
Burke said a search for Peveoto's replacement for Peveto will begin immediately.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Good evening. I'll be assisting you with your question.
In New York, grandparents have a right to ask a judge to grant them visitation. Section 72(1) of the Domestic Relations Law states that:
"[w]here either or both of the parents of a minor child, residing within this state, is, or are deceased, or where circumstances show that conditions exist which equity would see fit to intervene, a grandparent may apply to [supreme or family court] and . . . the court, by order after due notice to the parent or any other person or party having the care, custody, and control of such child, to be given in such manner as the court shall prescribe, may make such directions as the best interest of the child may require, for visitation rights for such grandparent or grandparents in respect to such child."
What that means for you is that you may ask a judge to order visitation, but that does not mean that judge has to grant it. The judge must find that "equity would see fit" for you to have visitation. Ultimately, the court will be asking if ordering visitation is in the best interest of the child.
Are you there?
I see that you've rated my service as "bad." I would like to assist you further, but it is important that you ask questions to clarify anything that you don't understand or would like more information on.
oh i didn't have the respond before, it didnt show up and until i already had order protection against my mother to reframe any abusive contact to the children and i because she was stalking my house and my children at the bus stop! but i just really want her to leave me alone her and i dont get along at and do not agree on anythin! she protect my drug addict sister and my unemployed brother who neither one the take care there children but she goes after me when ive raised my children since the day the were born she call cps on me and the found nothing wrong at my house > she insane
If she has problems like you've described, it is very unlikely that a judge would find that giving her visitation rights would be in the best interest of the children.
As I said before, she doesn't have an absolute right to visitation - she must prove to the judge that she deserves it.
well she got with my nephew but her mother is also a drug addict so does that make a difference
That certainly won't help her get visitation rights.
If she's a drug addict, very few, if any, judges would grant her visitation.
From what you've described, it appears unlikely that a judge would grant visitation to the grandparent.
Do you have any questions?
im sorry that came out messed up my sister is the drug addict and my mother received visitation , because my sister does not have vistion except when she goes to mother does that make a difference
Your sister's situation and yours don't really impact one another. They should be considered separately.
Your case will be considered on its own facts.
If so, feel free to ask. If not, please remember to "rate" my answer before you go.
