The Dirty Dozen
After more than a decade of recording for other labels, George Thorogood & the Destroyers moved back to EMI/Capitol for the release of 2009's The Dirty Dozen. Split into two sides (just like a vinyl album!) and consisting of covers of classic blues songs, some bar band favorites, and a couple of lesser-known tracks, the album showcases the current sound of the band and digs back into the archives to uncover some buried tracks from the '80s and '90s. What's uncanny is that apart from the tinny sound of the recordings from the late '80s/early '90s, the band and Thorogood sound exactly the same almost two decades later. Just as they sound virtually unchanged from the first time they stepped into a recording studio. George still has the same ferocious slide technique, his growling vocals have barely aged, and the band still has the feel of skilled musicians who know how to play it simple. In other words, GT & the Destroyers still rock, and if you were ever a fan, you still should be. The only real problem with this record is that as cool as it is to hear the band's 1991 take on "Six Days on the Road" or their tumble through Howlin' Wolf's "Howlin' for My Baby," it'd be better to hear more of the new tracks. They have a more immediate feel and the group sounds like they're playing for fun rather than chasing commercial success. There's a fire in "Born Lover" and a bounce in "Run Myself Out of Town" that the old, muffled production can't reproduce. Not that the old tracks are bad by any means, and longtime fans of GT will be glad to have them. Just as they will be glad that he and the Destroyers are still around and still rocking out.

At the end of our summer programming, we like to throw a party for all of the kids that came out and participated in all of our wonderful summer awesomeness! With this year's theme being "Build a better World" and our department's focus on collaborative art, we decided to make the summer closing party second as an art exhibition to showcase the collaborative art created by the kids over the summer. Each artist that showed up got to wear a laminated badge indicating that they are one of the summer artists that created the work in the exhibit. To go along with the art exhibit, we set up multiple stations for the visitors to experience and have fun with. We had two texture tables, magnetic blocks, matching games, puzzles, hopscotch, beanbag tic-tac-toe, and more. There were snacks and music to make the event special. Even our 30 foot alligator couch was in the festive spirit with a decorative party hat! We had over 80 visitors during our hour long party. I love these events because they allow us to interact with our patrons and thank them for all of their support and for coming out to our programs! Check out some of these collaborative art exhibits! Too cool!

ALA Committee Appointments!
I wanted to give a quick update about some awesome recent developments! I was recently approached to be a part of two wonderful committees for two different subgroups of the American Library Association (ALA). One of the appointments is Chair of the committee! They are:
I was asked to sit as the Chair of the PLA Continuing Education Advisory Group. This is a one year appointment with a following year as just a member of the committee. The purpose of this committee is to advise the PLA on the identification, development and evaluation of relevant, cost-effective, and emerging face-to-face and online continuing education products and services. I took over Chair duties at the conclusion of the 2017 ALA Annual Conference.
I was also asked by the president of the ALSC to sit as a member on the ALSC School-Age Program and Service Committee. This is a two year appointment. The purpose of this committee is to identify and disseminate information on effective, cooperative or innovative programming for school age children to libraries, schools, and community agencies serving youth. To develop training workshops on school age programs and services and present them at conferences, institutes and for other institutions serving youth. To cooperate appropriate with other ALSC committees and other associations working with the school age child to initiate activates and projects.
I am very excited about both appointments and look forward to all of the wonderful work that we will do together. I will occasionally post updates of relevant committee happenings as they come up.
Summer Reading Tracker! (Update)
Wow! We have had a lot of awesome summer readers add their names and counts to our skyscraper! We have a couple weeks left of our summer programming. Let's see if we can fill up all of the remaining spaces. Keep up the good work! read, read, read!
The original post can be viewed here: Summer Reading Tracker! (Interactive Display)
Summer Information Display
To kick off our summer programming, I created a simple display to house our flyers and programming materials. I used our groovy display building blocks to create the base. I added different sized posters that note our summer theme "Build a Better World". The display is topped with a custom cardboard cutout stand-up and is finished off with an array of events calendars and flyers showcasing our different summer programs and special events! Yay summer!
Summer Reading Tracker! (Interactive Display)
Each summer during our summer programming, we encourage everyone (yes, adults too!) to keep reading and to keep track of the books that they read. We offer both an online and paper way to track the books that are read over the summer. Once a certain amount of books are read, the children came come in to get prizes and a free book.
Throughout our library system, the Main library and all of the branches were tasked with creating a unique tracker to help keep track of the books that were read by their own respective patrons. I took up the challenge to create the reading tracker for the Children's Library at our Main Library. Since our summer theme was "Build a Better World", I decided to create a skyscraper as our reading tracker. I created a ten foot outline of a skyscraper, outfitted with groovy windows, antennas on the roof, and birds and clouds to give it some atmosphere. The idea is that as students come in to claim their prizes for reading, they can put their name and how many books that they have read onto a pre-cut "brick" to add to our skyscraper. As the summer moves along, we should see this outline fill up with plenty of bricks! Happy summer reading, everyone!
Last DCPS Visit of the School Year!
I had the honor of being the tour guide and presenter for our final DCPS school visit of the year. As we continue to strengthen the relationship between the Jacksonville Public Library and DCPS, these class field trips are an excellent way to connect with school age children and demonstrate what we have to offer at the library. Here are the happy fourth graders with their noses buried in their awesome new books!
Flower Garden – Interactive Display (Passive Programming)
I'm very excited about the new interactive display that I created for the Main children's department! To celebrate the spring, I wanted to create our very own growing flower garden. The display itself features a gang of happy little flowers in rainbow flower pots. Behind them are giant growing vines that are waiting for some colorful flowers to grow!
The display is a simple scavenger hunt similar to the Pokémon Scavenger Hunt, Display (Passive Program) that I previously made. The children are tasked with finding the seven missing flowers that are hiding throughout the children's library. Each flower has a word on it that correlates with each letter in the word "Flowers" (Fun, Love, Outdoors, Wish, Enjoy, Sun). The children will have to go around and find the flowers and write down the words that they find. This part of the passive program helps children with letter recognition, word recognition, and basic writing. Once the children find all seven flowers/words, they can color their very own flower to add to the garden. The children will also be able to cut out their flowers which is an important manual precursor to early literacy skills.
I am a huge advocate for interactive displays and passive programming within a children's library. They allow for a consistent source of fun and learning, and often get tied to library materials which is a win/win for everyone!
Puppet Show Theater
In the children's department at our Main branch, we have many little stations where children can play, explore, socialize, and learn! One of my favorites is the mini puppet show theater. We have a collection of puppets that children can ask us for and put on their very own puppet show. Each animal puppet has the corresponding letter printed on it to help develop phonemic awareness and other early literacy skills! The children have the opportunity to play, pretend, and to collaboratively create an impromptu show. Check out the awesome show that was put on by these 4 awesomely talented young puppeteers!
Jax Book Fest 2017
Wow! Wow! Wow! I'm trying not to geek out too much. We are just wrapping up the first ever Jax Book Fest. The event brought in over 150 authors and over 3,600 guests! The event took place throughout the entire library, but I only was able to snap photos from the festivities that took place in our wonderful children's department. The highlight of the event were presentations by three of my favorite children's authors/illustrators: Karen Beaumont, David Catrow, and Ethan Long… yes, you are reading that correctly, they were ALL here! If you don't know those names, look up their books and you will be like, "…oh wow! They did all of these books?!?!?! This one is my favorite!!!"
Each of the three held separate presentations where they discussed everything from their inspirations, writing/drawing techniques, and answered all sorts of questions. They each stayed around after their presentations to sign autographs and chat with their loving fans. Additionally, the Jacksonville Zoo came out and brought a few wild friends for us to learn about including: a tortoise, an alligator, and an armadillo! We even had an awesome face-painting clown to add to the awesomeness.
Pictures from DCPS Art Reception
Great success! This was once again a wonderful event and a highlight of the Spring for me! The Duval County Public School art reception brought in over 70 students, artists, parents, and teachers. To make this event special, we set up in the middle of the library, set out some fancy refreshments, and topped it off with some tunes by Chopin.
It is wonderful to see the local community come together to support young budding artists. Some of these works were created by artists in kindergarten!!! Please check out the pictures and take note of the young artists posing with their works. I love living the #LibraryLife!

I will catch up with the trip in a day or so, but just want to say we have made it to Kings Lynn and hope to go across the Wash to Boston tomorrow. Daryl (the pilot) says we are good to go and that he will be here between 07:30 and 08:00, so an early start for us to walk and 'empty' Monty!
The three boats are safely moored on an incredible floating pontoon - more details at a later date. If the sky is anything to go by we will be on our way in the morning!

Have Subaru Questions? Ask a Subaru Mechanic and Get Answers ASAP
Hi ,Push button start?
when you enter the car do the dome lights come on ,does the dash have the greeting on it ?
Yes all should return to normal, when the jump start arrives see if possibly something was left on when you exited the car like a dome lamp or something
I agree,if nothing was left on better get it checked out,it's still under warranty which is good

We spent a summer in St. Paul, 2016, at Riverview. The apartment was clean and quiet with a lovely view. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The neighborhood was delightful, right on a Mississippi riverwalk. I recommend Riverview at Upper Landing apartment living.
Genesee- I love living here, it really is home
I moved in about six months ago and it has really been a great experience. The amenities make me feel like I am living in a resort, but the staff makes me feel like I am part of a family. I love that I can walk to many places and the location allows me to get to almost anywhere in the Twin Cities. The building is quite quiet for how large it is and it is maintained very well. I'd recommend it to anyone!
One Southdale Place- Friendly, Cooperative, Professional
I have been living here for over 8 months now and couldn't have been more satisfied! The staff is very friendly, cooperative and professional. I moved from NYC and all my stuff arrived before I did and the staff was kind enough to get all the big and heavy moving boxes delivered up to my apartment (they did ask me for authorization first). The neighbors are also very nice and friendly. It's more like a family community and they do not make you feel like an outsider at all. The apartments are nice and clean and maintenance requests are attended to promptly, if not the same day. It also has the most convenient locations and has 24 hr groceries, pharmacies coffee shops etc right across the street.
Moving here was probably one of the best decisions I made when I decided to move to Minneapolis!
Southwest Gables- Concierge service, value pricing
Just reaching out to express how invaluable Tabitha Lane has been to my mother and me, making Southwest Gables a remarkable experience. Tabitha is superbly organized and knowledgeable, but more importantly, a concerned listener. While Tabitha handles the day to day management tasks with poise, what really impresses me is the way she steps in to solve problems. From coaching me through online bill-pay, to clarifying storage questions, to providing notary public services, she creates positive outcomes in an environment of thoughtful engagement and concern. This level of attention is unprecedented for me, and I would encourage future residents to share this experience for themselves.
Southwest Gables- Great Place to Live!
I have been here for 6 months now and I absolutely love it. Everyone from the residents to the staff are all very friendly. I looked around at several places when selling my home and have found that the value for what you get here is unmatched. I feel very safe and comfortable here. It really feels like home.
Remington Cove- Nice, modern living space
Nice, modern living space with all the amenities you could want. Friendly and clean community, very courteous and very attentive staff members, and close to shops, restaurants, and nightlife. You just can't beat the looks and location of Remington Cove!!!
Remington Cove- Outstanding place to live
Remington Cove is an outstanding place to live! Extremely convenient proximity to a wide variety of shopping and dining. Property and all appliances are new, and very well maintained. The office staff have been friendly, professional, and will go out of their way to assist with any concerns that may arise. Highly recommend!

Here some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
Third child with possible SN - DLA(26 Posts)
I have four children. Ds2 has dyspraxia and Lang disorder, ds3 is autistic in a ASD school. Nursary was concerned about ds1 who is about to turn two. She been seen by pead and portage. Things aren't looking good.
When can you claim DLA from? Is it two? I think that's when I claimed for ds3. I don't want to think about what's wrong or even needing DLA but it's a two year wait for SLT and over two years for OT so if if she has got autism then the money would be handy for private therapy.
Can't belive this is happening. I think I need to start therapy as I can't see how I will cope. I didn't know my ds3 had SEN until I was past 30 weeks pregnant with ds1.
My mind went bananas reading your post because I use ds1/2/3 based on their position in the family
The short answer is "it's easier to get the older the child is because the difference in needs is more pronounced", but if you can show you need to do more I think it's possible
Ds1 is NT - well as NT as my kids get, ds2 is the dyspraxic tribunal one, ds3 has autism and my baby girl is dd1. Dd is hard to type after three sons.
I am so sad. Good job SS aren't around anymore as jumping off a bridge looks pretty appealing right now
No bridge jumping. [stern]. You are going to have a lovely life because regardless of all this SN nonsense they are yours and lovely.
We all feel overwhelmed at times. Sometimes we just need someone else to say, you can.
Everything was nice and calm. I was just feeling like a boring parent - not a Sen parent after many many years and now this.
Hopefully dd will talk soon. I can't face another round of silence.
It's true that the older the child the easier it is to claim but where you have evidence of needs and a supporting statement it makes it easier.
I guess as a Dla oldie you know about the Cerebra guide?
its really about evidencing extra care and support needs and a 2 year old with (I guess) suspected ASD does need lots more help than a child without. I have done both and it thinking back it was astonishing how much easier things were with Dd2 (NT) as compared to Dd1 (ASD) even when they were only toddlers.
you are under paed and should be able to evidence things.
I found quantifying the difference MUCH more challenging when ds was younger because of course ALL 2 year olds need constant supervision etc etc. Ds really isn't mildly effected, so in hindsight it should have been fairly straightforward.
Big hugs. Two out of three of my girls have autism. Three year old also has a complex speech disorder and coeliac. Life at home is a riot. I put in for dla when she was two. Check with your council but if you can a good rate of dla from middle upwards it can help with nursery costs. The toddler years are a nightmare with asd. When people say the toddler years are hard with an nt child I'm tempted to laugh (sounds bitter doesn't it) but asd as made it so much harder. Doesn't help she's non verbal. Sending hugs 🍷 and 🍫 X
Thanks. I'm going to phone my careers support today to see if they think it's worth claiming now or if I should wait.
I have no one to talk to. All the family are in denial about ds and he's 4.5 and non verbal! No one ever talks about it, it's totally bizarre.
That must be really hard. My youngest is three and non verbal and that's hard enough but I can lean slightly on my mum (though it upsets her that two of the girls have autism). i read an interesting article on people that are sensory thinkers and communicate through their senses. That's really bizarre no one mentions it at all x
It is. It's like a ten tone elephant in the room. Ds3 has extreme sensory issues, can't talk at all, isn't potty trained. We told the family via email (mil and BIL live abroad) FIL and mil ignored it and BIL said he's fine. Whatever, I don't have headspace that level of weird. So ds could be barrel rolling for 20 metres on a trip to legoland ( one of the very few places he is allowed out of his buggy - he's got a blue badge) and we just don't mention why even though it's not something they would ignore if it was anyone else along with the blue badge....
My mum is better but I'm pretty sure she has some serious emotional issues ( Apple - tree kind of thing)
It's just too much to bear some days.
If mil heard a friends child had ASD she is te type who would cry, say isn't it awful etc, posts about ASD on FB yet ds is invisible to her.
So I guess she will start politely ignoring dd soon.
I wonder if it's a selective thing and she would notice if I dyed my hair pink. Possibly not.
Sorry it's feeling like Groundhog Day 2boys.
If it's anything like I was with ds2, the depression came more from the mental prospect of (constant long pointless) arguments with services, than the 'issues' themselves.
I would put the DLA application in now. You can get care component from infancy (from memory, it's 3 months old so they can say its been 'longterm'). Mobility high rate is from 3y and low rate is from 5y.
There'll be plenty of evidence providing nursery are happy to write something. It'll possibly only take a week or two for GP or HV to write to paediatrics, and you can enclose a copy of that letter too. Plus if you self refer her to SLT/OT, you can send off copies of the referral forms.
Plus if she gets a magic cure, or you are found to have been imagining things, you can ring DWP and say stop sending us £, she's ok now.
And I presume you'll have something vague written down from paed & portage already??
She has been referred to SLT and ent. I have the pead report and portage appointment letter. Ds3 got high rate care and his blue badge when he turned three - sigh.
I talked to careers support who think I should presume it's fine until it's not. Now I'm studying her again like a hawk and finding her extremely hard work which is such a shame.
I am going to start her a folder and once it's all together if it looks bleak ( I can't really face what the pead has written) I will start a DLA form. She sees portage again in September and the Pead in November. Also the early years improvement officer will see her next week. If either portage confirm she needs to stay on their books or the pead asks to see her after November I can be ready to send it off.
She could have a mild-moderate special developmental need right now (which you'll already be addressing with lots of expert additional care/mother-provided-therapy)
But then make fast enough progress that by school age she neither needs nor qualifies for a diagnosis. At which point you give back the DLA, and see how she goes, only coming back into the system later if she seems to need it
Neighbours big dc had language unit nursery, statement right through school, couldn't write/read well, social stuff was big issue, struggled with English/maths GCSE ...
Then got to uni via NVQs, thrived with disabled student provisions, got a job. Did well but missed academics so looked into more study. And has just finished Masters degree from Russell Group Uni
That's lovely to hear thank you. I think that because my son has been in ASD nusery and starts ASD school in September it seems so bleak right now. He's at the very lowest end of the spectrum. Dd was playing row row row your boat with her dolly yesterday singing to it. I can't see how she could be autistic. Maybe I'm blind to it all now.
is she anything like ds1 or ds2?
I want to say no, but if I'm honest she does have the triad of traits.
But personality wise no. Mind you ds2 was and still is my silent shadow. Always just behind me where as ds3 is more of a loud ( in a non talking way) ninja. Never by my side. So they are also very different.
Dd likes to spin until she falls, hardly has any words ( 7 maybe) like repetitive play. Very very needing and demanding but of tens doesn't really want the thing she screams for.
But she does interact with me like I'm a person, she shares things with me ( I think?)
She isn't at all like her peers. But she might be just a few months behind them. She is two in August.
So- maybe she has ASD, or broader phenotype + a bit of language delay
Or she's going to be Theresa May.
No wonder you're
I wouldn't have been worried if nursery hadn't flagged her needs up.
I was waiting for the pead or portage to laugh me off. But that didn't happen. I'm still hoping that there's a strong chance that people are being cautious because of her brothers
Diagnosis (or lack therof) doesn't link all that well with outcome- whichever side of the ASD cut-off she sits, the important thing is that her individual strengths and various challenges get the right input at the right time <hollow laugh>.
It's reasonable for them to be cautious because of the combination of a) the brothers and b) the current difficulties.
hugs. I understand. I have 5 boys with different needs and I've had the "oh he's fine" comments from various family members that make me want to scream. My youngest was 2 in June and I would bet money on him having ASD although a lot of people think I'm wrong.

'Community' And 'Whitney' Premiers Indefinitely Delayed
Well, fans of Community and Whitney might not be happy to hear that their favorite shows, aren't set to premiere just yet. In fact, the date on which they were set to premiere has been delayed indefinitely. When something like this is declared, it is usually assumed that the fate of such shows is sealed and they are possibly on the path to cancellation, but such is not the case with these two shows.
NBC has given clarification to this effect and justified its actions by saying "Given the success we've had for the past four weeks – including winning the first week of the season in A18-49 – we've decided to continue to concentrate our promotional strength on our new NBC shows that are scheduled Monday through Wednesday and have therefore decided to hold COMMUNITY and WHITNEY from their previously announced premieres of October 19th. Without having to launch these comedies on Friday at this time, we can keep our promotion focused on earlier in the week — plus we will have both comedies in our back pocket if we need to make any schedule changes on those nights. When we have a better idea of viewing patterns in the next few weeks, we will announce new season premieres of WHITNEY and COMMUNITY."
To catch more TV News, visit us at Daily Bubble!
Basically, this means that the network did not want to relegate these shows to a Friday slot, as was the plan earlier. In other words, its good news for these two shows, as both would probably replace other shows in the beginning of the week. They would probably replace shows that are set to end or be cancelled. The Friday slot is anyway known as the 'death slot' as it apparently doesn't receive very high ratings.
The network is also probably looking to plug a few gaps that would be created in the middle of the week by a few shows that are set to end, and therefore these two shows would prove to be an ideal replacement. For example, Up All Night has been struggling lately, so Community might sub in there if needed. Let's hope this game of musical chairs that NBC is planning to play with these successful shows, doesn't prove counterproductive.

I was there!
Just me and a quarter of a million other ecstatic Americans celebrating the election of the first non-white president in our country's history. What a party! I got there late (waited until I put Sam to sleep at my friend Kristin's, so didn't get there until 9:30ish. Ed was working the election returns.) The line for ticket-holders was about a mile long, but after it was announced that he won, they just moved all of us into the non-ticket area. So I wasn't able to see him (or meet up with my sister and her family), but I had a great view of the Jumbo-tron. And it was energizing just to be around so many happy people! Even the CTA was organized. I was really proud of my city.
And proud to have been part of making this happen. On Election Day, my sister and I made our third trip to Indiana during this campaign , knocking on 82 doors in a final GOTV attempt. (Some say Indiana is still too close to call, but others are saying it went for Obama, the first time Indiana went for a Democratic president since the 60s.) This is the first time I've gotten this involved in a campaign (donating and volunteering, although I also volunteered once on Obama's Senate campaign). I really am inspired by his integrity, his own personal story, and his concern for the least among us. In fact, it is my Catholic/Christian faith that led me to become a Democrat and to be so excited about Obama.
I was touched by McCain's speech (wish we'd seen more of that side of him during the campaign), though I can't think of anything nice to say about Palin, so I'll just keep my mouth shut. I hope that those who didn't support Obama will give him a chance. I think they will be pleasantly surprised by the job he will do as leader of this country. Lord knows we need a good one now.
Enough politics for now. Back to knitting and crafting soon.

Heidi!!!!!!!!! You were there! How totally freaking cool. I wish I had the foresight to drive us to Chicago to be there too, lol.

How exciting to have actually been there!! From over here in Scotland it seems like a good thing just happened! I woke up nervous this morning with anticipation of what the news would be when I switched on the TV! A sea change over night......
All I can say is that I'm proud to say that I live in Indiana! What a great opportunity and what an amazing slice of history to be a part of. We woke up the kids to tell them the news of Obama winning (didn't know about IN until the next morning.) They didn't remember, but we're still excited anyway. It's a new day. :)
xo Kristi
Yes, it was such a great night. I was so proud of Chicago for such a well-run event. And I'm so thrilled for our country that we've elected a true leader. Way to go Indiana! I always knew you could do it!! Love, Amy

Hey Heidi, I know things are busy with Sam, but any chance you have a red felted sweater kicking around I can buy from you? (I need a whole sweater to make a wreath.)

Hello friends!
A few days late with my 29 week (11 more to go!) update but better late than never! And I totally did not mean to wear the same outfit as last time for this week's picture but here it is. Biggest difference? I got my hair cut this past weekend!!! Oh man it feels so good to get all that hair chopped off. I cut off three inches, well technically I didn't do it, the stylist did, but you catch my drift. I actually think my belly looks bigger last time around, but it might be the way my arms are placed around it.
This week was Thanksgiving, and boy did I enjoy all the food that was around. It was so nice to be surrounded by our family for five full days!
I did learn this week that I can no longer wear my boots L I don't think they have enough support and I have HORRIBLE lower back pain when I wear them. I guess I am stuck to wearing my New balance shoes until she comes! I really can't believe I only have 11 more weeks until my due date. I had my glucose test on Monday, but I will wait until my 30 week update to let you know the results of that one.
I've been taking advantage of Black Friday sales and deals, and I am ALMOST done with my Christmas shopping! I am really in the Christmas spirit this year, and I think it has a lot to do with how excited Liam is about everything Christmas related. He seems to really love Home Alone and has already watched it two times in the last 4 days. He gets really upset when Kevin is mad at his mom, he looked at me the other day and was like "Neeni (kid in farsi) mad at mommy" and he gave me a really sad face. It was really cute. I love that kid so much! I cannot wait to see how he interacts with his new sister!
I think that is all I have for you all today!
Spark notes version:
How far along? 29 weeks!

Innocent or Guilty, the mere fact that you have been arrested will tarnish your good name. Even if the case has been dismissed, friends, relatives, and potential employers will be able to see that you have been arrested. Often, the mere fact that you have been arrested calls your integrity into question, but it does not have to. The law provides remedies to those who have been found "Not Guilty" and for those who have had their cases dismissed. Call me immediately to get the process started. If you are seeking an experienced lawyer for expungement in Fort Worth then give me a call.
Contrary to popular belief, having a case dismissed – either outright or after the successful completion of deferred adjudication probation – does not "keep your record clean."
Your record will always show that you were arrested and how the case was dismissed, unless you take the steps necessary to erase or hid all evidence of your case from public view i.e. expungement aka expunction.
Expunction Attorney
Generally in Fort Worth, you will be required to file a legal pleading requesting the court to expunge or hide the case, and this requires the assistance of an experienced attorney. I have a lot of experience with the Expungement of Records in Fort Worth. Call me immediately to find out how to get started.
Clear your record in Fort Worth with an expungement / expunction by an attorney who has experience. An expungement will potentially clean your record of past offenses or charges. Call me to today for an expunction attorney in Fort Worth that you can count on!

Insects and lies
There is evidence that neonicotinoids marketed by the likes of Bayer, Syngenta and Monsanto (of genetic modification fame) are killing bees...Yes, of course its not ALL farmers who use this kind of stuff, but many do - and so do many ordinary gardeners. We've reached a point where its seen as 'normal' to use poisons in farming and gardening. Look at the common use of slug pellets ...and when did you last see a thrush ? I find it laughable (and of course very sad) that humans see themselves as so separate from nature that they think its fine to soak the planet in poisons - whilst assuming it won't affect them!

New Allotment
out of the blue came the letter from the Town Council - 'you have an allotment - plot 48b - you can start right away'.
- suddenly we are people who can grow stuff...well, serious stuff! - so Luke dug and we planted some chitting spuds from under the sink
we broke off the old raspberry canes and stuck them in the ground.
we dug some more and planted onions and garlic (released from a pot in the kitchen). Chris pulled up the long tough grass growing round the strawberry plants and gave us baby brassicas and a chestnut tree in a pot
we filled carrier bags with dandelion clocks and seed heads - '1 year's seeding 7 years weeding!' said Steve
Sue gave us a key to her new shed and showed us her sherry, glasses, kettle, and the red and green grass cutter her dad had given her (no petrol, no electricity)
Steve said - 'Oh you're growing brassicas...you'll have to cover them or birds 'll have 'em - you can borrow my cages'
'Don't you need them? ' 'No - I've got club root - can't grow brassicas - you can't get rid of it'
we cut Steve's grass path with Sue's mower
Margaret had some palettes and Bill built a compost stable - also using the bricks at the back of the plot.
Now our allotted plot looks quite 'meant' ...... allotment
The blackbirds approve of the digging as it unearths worms - but I'd like to do some permaculture...so we're going to start a small tree nursery with the tiny oak trees dug out of the grass at the playground near Thirsk, Chris's chestnut and some birches rescued by Luke.

In fact I used to run a lot.
And bike a lot.
And swim a lot.
Okay, I'm gonna spill the beans. I was a sprint distance triathlete! "Uh-uh!" you say. Well, that's because you know me now, or you knew me before then, when I was a gym-class hatin' kinda girl. It's true, it was rather short lived in it's existence and almost like another lifetime ago, but it's true. (Remember the key word here is SPRINT distance (as in short distance=quarter mile to half mile swim, 25k bike, 5-8k run.)
There was one summer when I participated in 6-7 of these races and I remember LOVING it so much! (Laughable to think about now for me.) But there is something to be said about being prepared for a race. For not only running it, but training and being disciplined and knowing that it is not necessarily how you race against everyone else but mostly about you and your own race. I cannot say that I ever won a race (ha, that makes me giggle to consider) and I don't really know how fast I really was. But I do know that I enjoyed training for those quarter-mile swims, 16-25 mile bike rides and 5k to 8k runs all in succession. And I tried. I did it.
Especially even now as I look back, that is priceless to me to know as I take on new challenges and try running different races.
I've started to run again after a L-O-N-G reprieve. I've always returned to it after the birth of every one of our sons, never doing the triathlon thing, but simply running. After Nolan's arrival it has been more of a difficult return. Blame it on having three little boys or the fact that we had a ton of rain and flooding in 2008 or that we have three kids and only a double jogging stroller if you're a kind soul ... but the truth is, it's just plain ol' hard and it was something I was kinda avoiding. (There is also this issue that I'm continuing to have with my post-gigantic pregnancy belly--belly button that makes running less fun. I think it's herniated and I probably need to have it checked out.) Thank goodness for Mr. Lycra and Mrs. Spandex! I would NOT be here without them. If you've EVER wanted to start running/jogging I will totally tell you to check into the lycra and spandex that is super-supportive. It is a God-send!
Anyway, our family all went on a run last night together. Brayden on his bike, Jeff pushing the jogging stroller with N and E in it (E sometimes hopping out to run a bit,) and me trailing behind like a flag in the wind. (can you envision us all strung out like a thread in the wind on this country gravel road? It was just beautiful and kinda funny!)
When we reached the lake a mile and a smidge away, we stopped to toss in some rocks and splash with some sticks (necessary for all boys when around water) and then turned around to go home again. (I would like to add here the detail that this is the lake where I had my VERY FIRST triathlon the summer BEFORE meeting Jeff. Crazy that I now live only a mile and a smidge away from that spot and run to it nearly every time I'm out for a jog!) So when we turned around, in gentleman fashion, Jeff let me get a head start while he buckled the boys into the stroller (remember the post a couple days ago on Easton jumping out of said stroller?) I was actually in the lead, brief as it was. Of course it wasn't long when I heard the zzzz-zzz-zzz whirrling of bike tires and the pounding of feet behind me as the rest of the family caught up and Brayden didn't miss the opportunity to pass me (and let me know it!) It was then that I remembered how during triathlons when someone passes you or you're passing someone else, you yell out something like, "Lookin' good! Way to go! Finish strong!" as an encouragement to them. But it always was an encouragement to yourself as well whether you were the one passing OR the one being passed! Instead of getting that notion in your head that, "shoot someone else is passin' me, I'm falling behind," you heard a voice that said something different and you remembered the goal and believed that you could do this! You would do this! You remembered to press on. You dug deeper and pushed just a little bit harder ... or kept pushing harder even if you had a side ache and thought you were re going to keel over (ha!)
I guess yesterday was the day of giving encouraging words for me, as only a few hours prior to this, Easton was getting dressed for his hockey practice and he was having a hard time finding any motivation. Which has been the case since he started in April. It's been an uphill battle for this little guy. He's 4 and following in the footsteps of his super-aggressive, sports-minded brother. Those are some big shoes to fill and Easton takes it so seriously and so often thinks he should be at the same level as his 7 year old brother! He really wanted his dad there to get him on the ice, to skate with him, to coddle him ... but his dad was at work, he needed to practice with the coaches, he needed to just t-r-y. So I dug deep. I pulled out the tough-love mom card. I got him dressed, I used humor, I ignored the negative comments or him going limp while I tied on his breezers. I let him help out getting the straps tightened and the pads on. But let me tell ya, he is a tough cookie and he was not liking it much at all. So I had to ask nose to nose (through the hockey helmet)--what are you scared of Easton? What's wrong with just trying?
Silence from him along with a big-lip.
"How old are you?" I asked (in a tone like I really didn't know anymore.)
"4," he answered
"Just plain ol' four?" I questioned and kinda taunted?
"No, just plain ol' four and a half," he fired back at me in aggitation.
"Well, Mr. just plain ol' four and a half, what's going to happen to you out there?"
"They're going to ask me to do Really. Hard. Things.," he replied in disgust and annoyance.
And I said, "Okay, it's going to be really hard, what's going happen then?" "Are you gonna try to do them?"
"Yes," he said in that tone all mother's know will someday be followed by a "no duh mom," comment, but thankfully now was just coupled with a little roll of the eyes.
"Well then, what's gonna happen if you don't do it?" "What are they going to do?"
Silence ... and a smile from Easton as he realized something new. They couldn't do anything. It was all up to him if he did or didn't do it.
"Well, Mr. just plain ol'-four and a half," I said, "You go out there and you Try ... and you give it your all and if you don't do what they ask what are they going to do about it? You just go out there and try and give it everything you've got in you and show 'em what 4 and a half is all about and when we're done we'll go have some ice cream. OKAY?! Okay.!"
At this point he's laughing because I am sounding like some kind of a wacky drill coach and not his mom and he has the promise of ice cream in his heart. And you know what? He had the best skate of his life and was SO happy when he was done! He did it. And he did it like no other 4 and a half your old could do. It was so cool. He is so cool. And that ice cream was SOooo good!! (dollar cone at Cold Stone)
And I hope to remember this moment in all the "really hard stuff" that I'm asked to take on or that I take on myself and find myself neck deep in. I'm not just (insert age here), I'm (insert age here) and I'm going to show everyone what (insert age here) is all about. I may not be the best, but I'm gonna go out there and try. And that's where success is. In trying.
In a side note, you may have noticed that the end-date for the fund-raiser on "Blessings a Hundred Fold" has been moved back until around Labor Day. (Please go read the wonderful post by Rita explaining things if you haven't yet!) With summer keeping everyone SO busy and not checking blogs as often, along with the anticipated arrival of The Rippee's Pre-Approval coming at some point very soon after all the delays in paperwork, we decided that we'd like the opportunity to extend the timeline. With Pre-Approval comes the introduction of their daughter with photos, name and information. And hopefully some added excitement over this family and hopefully excitement over the drawing. PLEASE spread the news of this fundraiser via your FB or blog or email ... I know we can raise more than 126 dollars for this family. (AND THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE WHO HAS ALREADY GIVEN!!! We are SO blessed and thankful!) I know you all can leave an encouraging word for Rita, I know you are all lifting them up in prayer! Please keep doing that! The reward you will feel when you see the joy in this little girls' eyes knowing she has her FOEVER mom and dad is incredibly deep! And we are so close to enjoying that part of the sweet reward. But there is an even sweeter reward ... an eternal prize even beyond any success here on earth. For that I will keep striving and I know you will too.

"The only thing better than singing is more singing," said Ella Fitzgerald. True to that, our Bollywood singers sang a number of soulful songs, one better than other!
So which singer's singing was so mesmerizing that he managed to bag the Best Singer award in Filmfare!
For 61st Britannia Filmfare awards, the singers who got nominated for the category, Best Playback Singer (Male) were:
• Ankit Tiwari - 'Tu Hai Ke Nahi' (Roy)
• Arijit Singh - 'Gerua' (Dilwale)
• Arijit Singh - 'Sooraj Dooba' (Roy)
• Atif Aslam - 'Jeena Jeena' (Badlapur)
• Papon - 'Moh Moh Ke Dhaage' (Dum Laga Ke Haisha)
The winner of 2016 Filmfare award in the Best Singer category is Arijit Singh for the soulful number Sooraj Dooba from the film Roy. While the movie failed miserably at the Box Office, the songs of the movie was super awesome and Arijit's song was one of the most favourite of viewers from the Roy.
Roy movie starred Ranbir Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez and Arjun Rampal in lead roles! Arijit being the latest sensation in Bollywood was bound to win the award!

Saints Row: The Third
Blaize Assassination **SPOILERS**?
I started the assassination missions when I was done withthe main campaign. The only assassination that takes place in the zombie filled area involves a superhero named Blaize. You are supposed to rob a store for him to show himself. There is only one store in the designated area, a "Rim Jobs". I robbed it, sirens and everything, but nothing.
Is this not possible to do after the zombie mission?
ybtone79 - 5 years ago
Top Voted Answer
You need to rob a store somewhere in Carver Island (the Luchadore territory). While Arapice Island is Luchie territory, I'm not sure it counts as Carver Island. Any time I've done this mark, I've been sent to the New Baranec or Yearwood neighborhoods. For people still having trouble, avoiding Arapice may be a better plan. Plus it's a lot easier to rob Planet Saints, Let's Pretend, and Friendly Fire than it is Rim Jobs due to where the clerk has to move (the easier stores require no clerk movement, while with Rim Jobs the clerk has to move to the safe).
siraronar (Expert) - 5 years ago
Sometimes in co-op they won't show, in single player also. If he keeps not showing up, try it in someone's game.
Nayroy (Expert) - 5 years ago
I did all assassinations after the campaign, so it can be done. Sadly, I can't offer any help for your problem.
Pyrnstein (Expert) - 5 years ago
Strange, i just completed that earlier tonight and i didnt have to do it on the zombie island. maybe try a store near but still within the borders of the designated area?
mrkitsune - 5 years ago
So, when I first tried to do it, the game actually pointed me to the wrong location.
But yeah, like you tried, I robbed a Rim Jobs and held him up until I saw the white target cursor appear.
Shirase - 5 years ago
Rob the Friendly Fire instead. The clerk doesn't have to move and it's more conveniently placed.
MagicManJay - 5 years ago
My recommendation would be to try robbing Planet Saints. That's the one I did when I completed it.

Before the tropical air hits you here, an uncanny sense of time travel does, as you scan the historic Vijayanagar's devastatingly beautiful ruins and temples spread across the boulder-strewn landscape. The ancient capital of the Vijayanagara Empire (1343-1565), which has now become a favourite hipster holiday destination, is best explored on foot or bicycle. It has a lot of famous attractions such as the Hemakuta Hill, home to the ancient scattered ruins and a monolithic sculpture of Hindu God Vishnu, along with Hampi Bazaar, once an ancient trading spot for horses, silk, cows, precious stones and now a hub of handicraft shops and little restaurants, with the 15th century Virupaksha temple at its western end and the 16th century Vittala temple at its eastern end. Sule Bazaar and the Achyutaraya temple is also a must visit. This historic expedition can get tiresome and overwhelming for many, and the village in contrast maintains a very laid back atmosphere, with innumerable guest houses spread around, some even with a fascinating spartan setting, costing no more than 300 rupees. Just like its ruins, an ancient festival called the Hampi Utsav has also been kept alive since the Vijayanagar reign and is celebrated annually in November, with light and sound shows, music and dance performances, all boasting of the Kannadigas' rich culture, set against the backdrop of Hampi's ruins. The Mango Tree restaurant is a quaint place reached via passing through a banana plantation. Other good places to eat include Prince Restaurant, Goan Corner Restaurant and Laughing Buddha, popular for South Indian, Chinese, Israeli, Tibetan, and usual vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, enjoyed by the riverside.

Dear PA Hometown Deals:
We, at Royal Dutch Dog and Cat Grooming, have a terrific "word of mouth" clientele base. However, we were searching for an effective way to reach out to new clients, in our local region, without having to take out a small business loan.
We have tried many different advertising avenues from coupons, on the back of register receipts to radio spots. We just could not reach the customers who did not know about us. So when you approached us about your mail out flier we were intrigued but skeptical. After considering it for a few days we decided to give it a shot.
You took care of the entire process from what we should offer to the actual design of the ad. You were easy to work with and always prompt with your responses. We were very pleased with the quality of the flier and our ad was bright, colorful and eye catching.
We have always tracked our new customer as to how they heard of us. And our ad has generated new customers. Woo Hoo!
We look forward to working with you, in the future, due to the success we had with the November ad.
Thank you,
Royal Dutch Dog and Cat Grooming

Does the Gluten Free - Casein Free Diet Have a Place in the Autism Community?
Surely we have all heard of using a Gluten Free Diet (GF), or Gluten Free - Casein Free Diet (GFCF) for Celiac Disease (CD). It is a must for people with it. Ingesting Gluten for an individual who has CD can actually become very painful. How many people have heard of using a GFCF diets for autistic children?
This diet started as something rarely heard of or used and has turned into a wide-spread, dare I say, fad amongst parents. Many professionals have even begun to refer to this diet as the "Autism Diet" because of how fast it has been adopted by parents without any "real" solid medical evidence of it working in their opinions.
Now, don't get me wrong, there are a large sum of parents that swear by this diet, not to mention as a mother of an autistic child myself I have learned that sometimes it pays to listen to fellow parents rather than to professionals. However, when it comes to this topic, I personally have not formed any opinions yet. My 10 year old severely autistic son is currently on the Gluten Free Diet and has been on it for several months, yet I remain unsure.
What the GFCF Diet actually is
The Gluten Free - Casein Free Diet Diet is done in two different forms. They either use the standard GFCF rules. This necessitates removing all casein and gluten from your child's diet. Some parents also opt to just follow a GF Diet with their child. A GF Diet only consists of removing gluten from the child's diet. Researchers do advise that in children with gastrointestinal issues it is best to stick to a formal GFCF Diet. For further information as to how to follow this diet's guidelines see this story from Mayo Clinic..
The Parental Beliefs of GFCF Diet
The belief amongst parents is that this diet is beneficial because their child has an allergy or a sensitivity to gluten and/or casein, so in turn to the foods which contain them. To be more specific, some believe their child processes the peptides and proteins in foods that have gluten and casein in them differently than others do. They believe that, in theory, the difference in how the autistic child processes the peptides and/or proteins from how others do may in fact exaggerate their child's autistic symptoms.
To add a little credence to this claim, researchers have, in fact, found irregular levels of peptides in bodily fluids of some people who have autism. Nonetheless, the success of a GFCF diet for autism has not been supported by medical research. A number of parents also believe that their child's brain treats these proteins like false opiate-like chemicals. In turn the reaction to the chemicals leads their child to act in a certain ways. Some parents even seek out allergy testing to prove the purported allergy in their child. Even after the tests come back and tell them that there is no allergy they tend to still elect to use the Gluten Free - Casein Free Diet diet.
From using this special diet parents claim they experience improvements in the symptoms of their child's autism. Such benefits include claims of seeing improvements in:
• Gastrointestinal Issues
• Communication/Speech
• Social Behavior
• Sleep
• Meltdowns
• Maladaptive Behaviors
• Executive Functioning
• Their child is essentially "cured"
According to researchers 82% of parents surveyed about their child's use of the Gluten Free Diet reported improvements. Specifically, a reported 27% of surveyed parents reported a high level of improvement in their child's autistic symptoms. 19% report very high levels of improvement, 38% reported moderate improvements, and 16% reported minimal improvements. When surveyed parents have also reported there being a substantial financial burden in maintaining this diet. On average, costing between $101-500 more monthly to maintain.
The Scientific Arguments
Research remains pretty split as to if this diet offers any real benefits for autism. In the U.S. it is said that there is no real medical basis for the use of this diet in children without GI problems. Children with autism that have gastrointestinal problems have shown considerable improvements in their autism symptoms when following a GFCF diet though. Seeing as though around half of all children with Autism have gastrointestinal issues one can only speculate as to why this diet helps the autistic symptoms. I'd venture to say that if I had intestinal issues I'd have difficulty focusing and sleeping too. It'd possibly even contribute to a meltdown or two.
