|SG-1 Season 3
|Season 2
|Season 4
- This episode is part 2 of 2; it is preceded by "Out of Mind".
"Into the Fire" is the season three premiere of Stargate SG-1.
While Captain Samantha Carter and Dr. Daniel Jackson try to escape from Eskal, Colonel Jack O'Neill is implanted with a Goa'uld. Teal'c, who left Stargate Command, seeks help on Chulak to assist SG-1. There he has an unexpected volunteer, Major General George S. Hammond.
Previously on Stargate SG-1Edit
Colonel Jack O'Neill, Captain Samantha Carter and Dr. Daniel Jackson are captured by the Goa'uld and told that they are in Stargate Command and the year is 2077. The Goa'uld use a Memory recall device to gain information on the state of the Goa'uld Empire. After recovering from his injuries, Teal'c leaves the SGC and returns to Chulak to recruit Jaffa willing to help rescue the rest of his team. O'Neill discovers the truth and escapes to free the other two. They are later surrounded by Jaffa and Hathor reveals herself as the culprit and plans to use one of them as a host for a symbiote.
Colonel Robert Makepeace returns to inform Major General George S. Hammond that the Tok'ra have found SG-1 and that they've been kidnapped by Hathor. Hammond sends SG-teams 3, 5, 6 and 11 to find them.
In the mock-up Stargate Command, Hathor ponders which member of SG-1 should be a new host. The mature symbiote chooses Colonel Jack O'Neill, but before she could implant the symbiote, Jack attacks and is shot with a Zat'nik'tel by Dr. Raully. In the stasis chamber, Hathor implants the symbiote and tells O'Neill that once it takes control, he'll swear loyalty to her. Suddenly, gunfire is heard and Hathor commands the Jaffa head to find the source. Raully reveals herself as a Tok'ra and puts Jack in stasis to kill the symbiote. Hathor finds out and uses her Kara kesh to throw the Tok'ra against the wall.
Makepeace and his men free Captain Samantha Carter and Dr. Daniel Jackson, but soon get a message from the men at the Stargate: they have been ambushed. Carter, unaware that a Tok'ra spy has helped Jack, informs Makepeace that O'Neill is now a host. Makepeace declares Jack a casualty and they head to the gate. When they get there, the gate is guarded by Jaffa, a forcefield and staff cannon towers. A cannon blast from one of the towers punches a hole in the ground as Makepeace dives for cover. Noticing a strange blue glow emanating from the hole, he looks inside to find a network of Tok'ra tunnels created by the spy as a means of entering and exiting the compound unseen. They are forced to retreat to the Tok'ra tunnels where they attempt to find a way under the shield, but discover it extends underground and they cannot pass.
Meanwhile, Hammond contacts them for an update because they are now behind schedule. As he lets the teams know he will send reinforcements, he scans the area with the MALP. Trofsky fires at it with his zat and disables it. Because of the sheer size of the forcefield, Carter deduces there must be a massive generator nearby. She takes with her a device to detect energy readings and heads back to the fake SGC to shut down the power to the shield.
On Chulak, Teal'c finds Bra'tac left for dead. After helping Bra'tac, he summons nearby Jaffa together to speak with them. He announces to the Jaffa that the Goa'uld are false gods and asks for help in fighting alongside the Tau'ri. Only a few Jaffa and Bra'tac remain to join the fight, but it is revealed that Hammond has tagged along because the President of the United States refused to risk any more lives to save SG-1. He went to Chulak to find Teal'c, to ask for reinforcements and to help out himself. Bra'tac leads them to a now derelict Needle Threader hidden nearby many years ago.
Makepeace, Daniel, and everyone else still hiding in the Tok'ra tunnels are captured by the Jaffa. In the Goa'uld compound, Carter finds Raully and revives O'Neill, but is attacked by Hathor. O'Neill manages to throw Hathor into the stasis chamber unprotected, which kills her. Rually tells them where the power generator for the shield is. They arrive in the fake gate room and Jack flips a switch, revealing the generator.
At the gate, O'Neill confronts the Jaffa, first pretending to be a Goa'uld, then telling them that Hathor is dead. They refuse to believe him. Sam blows the generator at the last minute. Suddenly, the gate activates and a Needle Threader (flown by Teal'c and Hammond), Bra'tac and rebel Jaffa came through. Trofsky is finally killed by Bra'tac and the two staff cannon emplacements are destroyed by Hammond and Teal'c. Once all of Hathor's Jaffa are taken care of, SG-1 returns home.

Notable QuotesEdit
Jaffa woman: I know you! Shol'va! You dare return to Chulak.
Teal'c: The people of this world are my brothers and sisters. I have betrayed no one.
Jaffa woman: Except your god.
Teal'c: False god. Dead false god.
Teal'c: The Goa'uld are not gods.
Crowd: Shol'va.
Teal'c: It is a lie we live each day. Only when he takes a host does a Goa'uld become strong. Even then, only as strong as the Jaffa that serve him. With out us, the Goa'uld are nothing.
Crowd: Lies.
Teal'c: We are their strength. We are their power. Until we choose to serve them no more. I was witness to the final breath of Apophis. I watched him tremble with fear at what lay beyond. I believed that day would be honored for all time on Chulak. But instead, I see Jaffa taking up arms against one another. I see cowardice and I am ashamed. This is our time. It will not come again. But first we must grow stronger, as the people of the Tau'ri have done. I call for warriors to join me through the chapai'ai, to gather weapons, to forge alliances with other Jaffa who seek freedom. To show the Goa'uld we will do battle with them wherever they may be. Who will join me?
Makepeace: How's the leg? Can you walk?
Jackson: It's just a deep bleeding gash, but it'll be fine.
O'Neill: Jaffa, kree!
Trofsky: Kel ma Goa'uld? Kritock.
O'Neill: You heard me, I said kree!
Jackson: Jack?
O'Neill: Hey, guys. Makepeace, nice rescue. Good job.
Trofsky: Silence!
O'Neill: Alright, listen up. There's something you should know before you start shootin' and killin' and ruinin' what could be the start of a beautiful friendship. Our beloved Hathor is dead.
Trofsky: What you say is impossible. Hathor is a queen. More than that, she is a goddess!
O'Neill: Yeah ok, ex-goddess, maybe. I killed her myself. You should trust me on this, she's gone. She is no more. She's…well, let's face it, she's a former queen. So why don't we just put an end to this right now?
Trofsky: We will end this with your surrender!
Teal'c: Firing the weapon will be your responsibility, General Hammond.
Hammond: Understood. What exactly did you mean by threading the needle?
Teal'c: Observe. (Teal'c flies them through the Stargate) Fire.
(Hammond blasts the tower)
Hammond: Yeeeee hah!
(Teal'c with very surprised face looks at General, not expecting such colorful emotions from that usually emotionless aging man)
- The Needle Threader is flown through the Stargate in this episode. This would later become common in the Stargate SG-1 spin-off series, Stargate: Atlantis with Puddle Jumpers.
- The title is presumably meant to invoke the 'out of the frying pan' imagery, as well as tying into the 'Out of Mind' precursor.
- Hathor's Jaffa came from many different Goa'uld (Serpent Guards from Apophis and Klorel, Horus Guards from Heru'ur, and others). She has obviously spent much of her time over the past year and a half gathering dissidents and defectors from Goa'uld all over the galaxy.
- Colonel Jack O'Neill says the line, "Something you should know before you start shooting and killing and ruining what could be the start of a beautiful friendship." The "start of a beautiful friendship" is from the film Casablanca.
- O'Neill's humorous words to Trofsky, "She's gone. She is no more. She's an ex-goddess. She's… well, let's face it, she's a former queen" is reminiscent of Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" sketch, in which an exasperated John Cleese tries to explain to the dull shop attendant that his parrot is dead.
- General George Hammond is talking with Major Paul Davis about forming three new SG teams - SG-15, SG-16 and SG-17. But it takes more than one year than the first of them (SG-15) was finally mentioned in "Divide and Conquer".
- When the SG teams are firing at the Jaffa behind the forcefield, the fluctuations where the bullets hit are clearly visible. The bullets strike at various points all across the force field, many of them nowhere near the target. Also at one point, one of the SG soldiers fires their automatic weapon at a 45 degree angle right in front of the camera. At that angle so close to the gate, the bullets would actually fly right over the gate, well over the heads of anyone in front of it.
- Teal'c claims that he witnessed Apophis' final breath in "Serpent's Song". However, he was in the Stargate Operations room at the moment of Apophis' death.
- When the Needle Threader arrives through the Stargate, its left wing should hit the MALP's arm.
- Nominated Leo for "Best Cinematography in a Dramatic Series" (Jim Menard)

Back in 2016, South Korean actor Song Joong-ki shined in his role of the charismatic captain Yoo Si-jin in major hit proclaimed "Descendants of The Sun" television series, for which he won Most Popular Actor and iQiyi Global Star awards at the 52nd Baeksang Arts Awards.
Not long after Descendants aired, the actor began filming for movie Battleship Island, a film that speaks about the hardships occurred in the Japanese occupation era. This movie comes as a surprise for fans, but then it is not such a big one since Song seems to do very well in heroic roles. And although the vibe is very different from its last movie work, I get the feeling that the actor will shine once again as a noble character.
The movie hasn't got an official date release and has been sold to 113 countries according to CJ Entertainment. On June 15, South Korean actors Hwang Jung-Min, Kim Su-An, So Ji-Sub, Lee Jung-Hyun alongside Song attended the press conference for 'The Battleship Island' at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul. As a final say, I'm suggesting a napkin refill and then holiday recovery.Embed from Getty Images

We saw him last on Coronation Street in 2007 but tonight, Audrey's son Stephen Reid, got a mention in the show.
Stephen is Gail's half-brother and the uncle to Nick, David and Sarah-Lou, who's in Milan, working for one of Stephen's businesses.
With thanks to Corripedia, we also remember that when Stephen was born, Audrey had to give him up for adoption.
Stephen turned up in the Street for the first time in 1996 to get to know Audrey and his half-sister, Gail. During his stay, Nick was
sent by Gail to live with him as Nick's relationship with his mother
became stained and Stephen offered him a job in Canada, which Nick accepted.
Could it be time for Stephen Reid to reappear?

Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain star Ezequiel Lavezzi during the ongoing January transfer window.
According to the Telegraph, the Reds have received a major boost in their pursuit of the Argentina international as the report claims that the Ligue 1 champions are willing to let the forward leave the club in January.
Brendan Rodgers is desperate to sign a forward in January as he looks to address his side's lack of goals this season despite signing Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli in the summer. Both the summer arrivals have failed to find the back of the net on a regular basis and have one goal between them in the Premier League, which was scored by the former Southampton striker.
Lavezzi joined the Ligue 1 club in the summer of 2012 following a impressive spell with Serie A club Napoli, but has failed to reach the same heights in France and is struggling to nail down a regular place in the starting XI.
This has frustrated the player and he is also looking to move away from the club in search of a new challenge. It is believed that the French champions are willing to let go of the Argentinean forward as they are targeting a move for Benfica winger Nicolas Gaitan.
Gaitan, who is Lavezzi's compatriot has been strongly linked with a move away from the Portuguese club with Manchester United being touted as a possible destination.
Earlier in the season, there were reports suggesting that Louis van Gaal has sent scouts to Portugal to have the winger watched and even the Old Trafford club's record signing Angel di Maria has urged the boss to sign his international teammate, who is rated at around £30m by Benfica.

8 Conditions That Are More Common for Women
Some health conditions overwhelming affect women. Learn which ailments to watch out for here.
When it comes to health, the sexes are not always created equal. Some diseases and disorders pose an overwhelming risk to women — though the reasons why females are more prone to certain ailments vary. Still, gender does not equal destiny. Here are common conditions to watch out for.
A Woman's Risk for Osteoporosis
Of the 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, 80 percent are women. Being a woman of a certain age is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Half of all women older than 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. The hormone estrogen protects bones and, when estrogen levels drop sharply during menopause, bone loss and weakening can increase rapidly. Getting lots of calcium and vitamin D, and plenty of exercise, can help protect bones throughout your life.
Depression in Women
Women are twice as likely to develop depression as men, says Renee Scola, MD, an internal medicine and women's health specialist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. She says many factors may come into play, but hormones and stress seem to have significant roles. Depression peaks in women during childbearing years — just when women are stressed with work and family responsibilities, Dr. Scola says. Plus, up to 20 percent of new moms experience postpartum depression. This is believed to be partially because of the decrease in serotonin levels after giving birth.
Migraines and Women
Migraine headaches are three times more common in women than men. This throbbing type of headache is caused by the swelling of blood vessels on the surface of the brain. Family history plays a role, and so do hormones — more than half of migraines in women occur just before, during, or just after their monthly period. Stress and other factors can trigger migraines as well. The good news is that menopause can provide relief from this women's health issue: Reports of migraines tend to fall off in post-menopausal women, Scola says.
Incontinence and Women
Do you leak a little urine when you laugh, cough, or sneeze? Or do you feel an overwhelming urge to pee that you sometimes can't control? If so, you're in the company of millions of women. Urinary incontinence is about twice as likely to affect women health as men. Incontinence occurs if the bladder muscles suddenly contract, or if the sphincter muscle is too weak to hold back urine. Pregnancy, childbirth, and the loss of estrogen after menopause are the main risk factors.
Sleep Woes for Women
Trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep is another common condition more likely to impact women's health than men's health, says Michael Decker, PhD, RN, D.ABSM, an associate professor at Georgia State University in Atlanta and a spokesman for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. During menopause, drenching night sweats can disrupt sleep. Chronic fatigue syndrome, more common in women, also results in sleep that isn't restorative, he says. Insomnia can also be caused by stress, psychological problems, and the brain's inability to completely turn off the mechanism that keeps us awake. In women especially, a stressful event can turn a troubled sleeper into an insomniac. Treatments for insomnia include cognitive behavioral therapy and medication to help retrain the brain for better sleep.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Women
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) causes abdominal pain, cramping, and changes in bowel movements. It's twice as common in women as in men. IBS affects men's health and women's health differently, Scola says. Men tend to be bothered by diarrhea while women usually complain of constipation. It's not known what causes IBS, but having an intestinal infection could be a risk factor. Again, stress as well as food intolerances may trigger IBS.
Multiple Sclerosis in Women
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that damages the protective covering of nerve cells, causing signals to become distorted, slow down, or stop. Symptoms can range from numbness in the limbs to paralysis and even blindness. Because MS is two to three times more common in women than men, researchers are looking into whether hormones play a role. Having a family history of MS is a major risk factor in developing the disease. Starting treatment early and sticking with it can help you manage the disease effectively.
Rheumatoid Arthritis in Women
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is another autoimmune disease two to three times more likely to affect women's health, Scola says. In RA, the immune system attacks the membrane that lines joints, causing pain and swelling. As the disease progresses, joints can become deformed, causing disability, and internal organs can also be affected. The cause of RA is not known, but it could be a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal risk factors. There's no cure, but prompt treatment can slow the progression of the disease.

Stay strong, stay true.
I've just finished watching the season finale of series 6 of this UK television drama Waterloo Road, which centres around a school and it's students and teachers.
One of the larger story arcs that has been taking place involved one of the teachers, Francesca, getting involved with a student, Jonah. Since it is not just taboo but illegal for a teacher to 'take advantage' of a student in this way, you can imagine there was a lot of sneaking around, being paranoid and alternating between 'I/we can't do this. It's wrong. It's too difficult, too risky. It's not possible." and "It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. I love you and all's fine as long as we have each other." All this cumulated in ep19 and 20 with (SPOILER ALERT!) them being found out, Francesca being suspended and charged along with pending imprisonment, and then the two of them running away to get married (before being arrested and brought back). Makes for great TV drama indeed!
The whole thing could easily parallel a closeted gay relationship; constantly watching your back and being afraid of being found out; the way you act around each other in public, a necessary facade; the lies that come with keeping a secret; and huge secrets, even from those closest to you; the conviction that you'll be ostracised and worse if anyone knew; knowing that no one will understand; all that negativity, risk and adverse concequences being offset by the joy you feel when you're together…
To be honest, most of the arc made me really dislike both characters, possibly precisely because I could see myself in a similar situation so easily. They were being retarded and brainless! Too careless and impulsive and immature! C'mon guys, it's hard but not impossible! Can't you sacrifice some short term pleasures for the long term happiness!?
At the very first signs of it, when Francesca was still trying to stop it from even starting, and then stop it from progressing… To me she didn't try nearly hard enough. Later on, when they were well into it; Acting so suspicious, doing really stupid/risky things, not taking enough or proper precautions, and not planning or talking about things seriously… why couldn't they have kept it a secret until Jonah graduated? Like I said, it's difficult, (in the sense of being mentally and emotionally draining,) but not impossible, (like I cannot NOT speak to you during school hours.) I've been there! …or maybe I haven't, since we didn't share a working/schooling physical space and weren't closeted with most mutual friends.
But these last two episodes really brought me over to their side. What was once blind, stupid impulsiveness has become an inspiration: If i were in a similar situation, with hostility and disapproval on all fronts with no sign of respite in sight, would I be so brave to continue to stand firm for what I believe in, and do what I think is right?
To lose your family, your friends, your job, your community, you life and still stand strong?
At least they can get married. Part of me thought. Even if gay people were to run off to some other country to get married, that piece of paper would have absolutely no power back home. We'd still have absolutely nothing. And in time, when the scandal has blown over, they will become just any other couple, blending in. They can rebuild. Gay will always be gay, and will always stand out.
What would you do? What would I do? Would I be willing to give up my family, my home and friends if it came down to it, for the person I love? Would "giving up" your family, home and friends even be the 'Right' decision to make?
Here's my stab at it:
You're not 'giving up' anything. You're merely standing by what you believe in, you're merely staying true to yourself. And if, because of that, other people fall away, that's hardly your doing, your choice, nor your fault. And if they should, in time, change their minds about accepting who you are, you'd more than welcome them back with open arms. The only 'giving up' would be if you gave up on your dreams, your beliefs, your values and yourself.
The only choice you should be making is to stand by what you believe in, and to stay true to yourself. Leave judging and rejecting of people to someone else, that's not your choice to make.
I guess this is the follow up to my Charles and Erik post that I've been meaning to do for the longest time, but hadn't truly reached the conclusion in my mind and heart. I knew where it was heading all along; It just took me a while to get there. Am I there yet? Maybe I still have a little way to go… maybe we'll always have a little way to go. You always have something to better, something to work towards. That's life.
To recap my entry, I was envisioning Charles Xavier as someone holding a belief (presumably the Right one): that mutants should ultimately live in harmony with humans ie humans are friends, and Erick (Magneto) holding a differing belief (presumably the Wrong one): that mutants and humans can't be in harmony ie humans are the enemy. And these differing beliefs, while not directly pitting them against each other, were different and serious enough to change them from friends to enemies. And I wondered where such a line would be drawn? What kind of differing beliefs would make turning against a friend justifiable, and inevitable?
Specifically, I was using this fictitious example to help me think about these these differing beliefs: homosexually is morally wrong / homosexuality is NOT morally wrong; religious beliefs in general.
Soon after I wrote the post, a friend pointed this out to me: If i insist on alienating or cutting ties with people who think homosexuality is Wrong, I would have turned into Magneto. It's not, as I was envisioning, Xavier vs Magneto representing pro-gay and anti-gay. But rather, mutants as homosexuals, humans as heterosexuals and Magneto the one who has turned evil, hating all humans for the evil deeds of a few. So the right answer, according to X-Men? Be Charles, and not lose hope. Be Charles, and reach out even to the ones kicking you down. Be Charles, for how else would humans be able to know that mutants aren't all bad?
And I also realized: neither Charles nor Eric ever rejects each other? They never said, "You're not with me? Then you're against me. From this day forth you are my sworn enemy and I hate your guts and nothing will change that." Wasn't it more like, "Friend, join me. No? Well, I'm sorry, friend, I have to go. But the invitation stands."? Being 'enemies' only as a technicality of finding themselves on opposite sides.
Well, I'm not an X-men fanboy or fanatic, so forgive me if I'm straying from canon and projecting my own ideas onto the characters.
But… the lesson never seems to change does it? Be a Gandhi. Be a Jesus (ok tbh I'm still feeling slightly sore about Jesus/christianity). Be a Charles.
That is… hold on to what you know is true. Stand up for what you know is right. And most of all, love and accept everyone. Leave the judging and rejecting to the one who has all the answers (or thinks he has all the answers, anyway.)

Restore Your Good Name with the Help of a New Orleans Criminal Lawyer
A criminal record in the state of Louisiana, or anywhere else in the United States, can be a serious impediment to quality of life and can cause a myriad of problems. Difficulty securing employment and enrolling in school can result from a criminal record that is not addressed. Fortunately, in Louisiana an individual's criminal record can be sealed and/or destroyed in a number of situations to help rightfully restore his or her good name and keep past arrests and convictions from affecting his/her life any further with the help of a New Orleans criminal lawyer.
A New Orleans criminal defense attorney at Bloom Legal can help both local residents and individuals from out-of-state who have a criminal record in Louisiana get their record cleared. Expungement is the legal process of "clearing" a record of a particular crime. In a successful expungement case, law enforcement, witnesses and all involved parties are ordered to destroy any record (digital, paper or tangible records) of the case.
Expungement Law in Louisiana
When the court orders your record to be expunged, agencies and law enforcement offices with information on your arrest and/or conviction must destroy all records. This includes all computer, paper, digital and photographic records. The benefit of expungement is a clean record. When employers conduct a background check your criminal history related to the expunged charges will not appear.
Expungement covers three main categories of records:
- Violations of parish and municipal ordinances, and other misdemeanors
- Felonies and violations including some misdemeanors
- Crimes and persons who cannot move for expunging records
Expungement is not possible in all situations and generally you can have your record cleared only by petitioning the court where the violation was prosecuted. This means you may seek expungement from a traffic, state, municipal or district court.
During the process you will have to demonstrate that you are eligible for expungement, which may mean showing that your conviction was set aside or dismissed, the prosecutor did not press charges, or you were found not guilty.
In expungement cases, you need to only petition the proper court and take all required steps, but you also have the burden of demonstrating that you are actually eligible for expungement. An experienced New Orleans criminal defense attorney can help to guide you through the process and ensure you meet the strict legal requirements.
Expungement Basics
Throughout the country, and in the state of Louisiana, the process of expunging criminal convictions from one's record is a civil action. The civil actions related to expunging Louisiana criminal convictions, investigations, or proceedings seek to destroy or seal records pertaining to a previous judicial action or criminal court proceeding, thus rightfully restoring an individual's good name. Each state possesses very unique and complex procedures and policies regarding the expunging of criminal records, and the state of Louisiana and Orleans Parish criminal expungements are no different when it comes to expunging Louisiana criminal records.
In the state of Louisiana, the laws pertaining to expunging records, whether paper or electronic files, are covered in LSA-R.S. 44:9. The Louisiana expungement laws are complex and oftentimes, very ambiguous, but as such, a great level of maneuverability is offered to clients and their attorneys when seeking the removal of criminal proceedings from their records. The three main categories of records that fall under expunge Louisiana law, include:
- Violations of parish and municipal ordinances, and other misdemeanors
- Felonies and violations including some misdemeanors
- Crimes and persons who cannot move for expunging records
Expunging Louisiana Misdemeanors
Any person arrested in the state of Louisiana for a violation of misdemeanor state, parish, or municipal law can file a motion for expunging their records. This is generally done under the provisions of Article 894 for all misdemeanor charges and municipal criminal violations in the state of Louisiana. A written claim from individuals seeking to expunge their records must be filed at the location of the jurisdiction where the arrest and violation originally occurred or was prosecuted. A sufficient time period must have elapsed, based on the original arrest crime or crimes, before a motion to expunge Louisiana arrests can be made. Typically, motions to expunge in Louisiana, if granted by a judge, will include destruction of all documents related to the investigation, arrest, and trial including:
- Photographs
- Fingerprints
- Electronic files
- Films
- Paper documents
- Any references of inferential documents to infer an arrest
As an attorney focusing on catering to the clients of Orleans Parish, as well as Jefferson Parish and the entire New Orleans area, expunging criminal misdemeanors and municipal criminal charges covers a large area of Bloom Legal's experience. Given the high number of tourist, party, and festival related charges involving disputes and alcohol found throughout the year in New Orleans, Bloom Legal regularly assists clients in expunging records under the provisions of Article 894 and Article 893. Some of the misdemeanor charges and Orleans and Jefferson Parish municipal violations Bloom Legal will expunge, under the provisions of Article 894, for all clients include:
- Public intoxications
- Open container ordinance violations
- Underage drinking
- Lewd Conduct
- Solicitation
- Resisting arrest
- Disturbing the peace
- Domestic violence
- Simple battery
- Truancy
- Assault
All of the aforementioned charges, as well virtually any other misdemeanor charge, can be expunged through the provisions of Article 894 and the counsel of Bloom Legal. Almost any individual can recognize the immediate and long term benefits of expunging criminal convictions, even simple misdemeanors and municipal offenses. Especially for DUI/DWI offenders, the provisions of Article 894 are essential for not expunging charges, but also, a feasible means of returning their unabated driving and license privileges. At Bloom Legal, we maintain a high reputation for counseling and representing clients seeking expungements of records under the provisions of Article 894 in Louisiana state law.
Expunging Louisiana Felonies is Possible with a New Orleans Criminal Lawyer
In the state of Louisiana, certain misdemeanors must undergo the expunging process used for felony arrests. These misdemeanor charges include:
- Aggravated assault; 14:37
- Battery of School Teacher; 14:34.3
- Battery of a Police Officer; 14:34.2
These offenses, coupled with all other felonies, can be subject to expunging after a period of time lapses between the arrest and request for expunge Louisiana arrest records. Additionally, felonies and the aforementioned misdemeanor arrests require a hearing with the state of Louisiana District Attorney, as well as the presentation of contradictory statements to the expunging motions from arresting law organizations. With expunging of felonies and these misdemeanors, the records will be restricted from public access; however, law enforcement is not expressly required to destroy all records relating to the arrest.
Louisiana state laws provide for the expunging of felonies, whether occurring in Orleans Parish, Jefferson Parish, or anywhere in the state of Louisiana, under the provisions of Article 893. Article 893 of Louisiana law pertains to the ability of individuals to acquire expungement of their criminal convictions with the counsel and representation of an attorney. Bloom Legal regularly assists clients in removing felony convictions, investigations, and proceedings from their records, which is essential in maintaining any form of employment and reputability in the legal system. When filing for an Article 893 expungement, individuals must file in the parish of their arrest, which may include Orleans Parish, Jefferson Parish, or any one of the other 64 parishes in the state of Louisiana.
Crimes and Individuals Not Permissible to Expunge in Louisiana
According to Louisiana expungement crime laws, which is found at subsection 44:9(E)(2), any individual convicted of sex offenses involving a person under the age of seventeen cannot expunge any or all related documents and records to their arrest and conviction. The definition of sex offense used by the state of Louisiana regarding expunging records is detailed in R.S. 15:542(E). Additionally, persons currently under incarceration have no right to motion to expunge any felony charges according to Louisiana expunge laws.
Employer Disclosures Regarding Expunged Arrest Accords
For individuals looking to expunge Louisiana arrest records for the purposes of future employment and other times requesting disclosure, subsection I of 44:9 notes no individual will have to make note of the arrests expunged in a civil action through Article 893 or Article 894. Bloom Legal can assist clients in ensuring this is the case with all of their criminal convictions and investigations. The only hindrances to these events of disclosure would be for persons applying for employment at the following state employment entities including:
- Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists
- Louisiana State Board of Dentistry
- Louisiana State Board of Nursing
- Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners
- Any and all state of Louisiana law enforcement agencies

Dear Advance Steel and Advance Concrete user,
It is with great pleasure and honor for me, Francis Guillemard, as founder and CEO of Graitec, to share with you very exclusive news.
Indeed Autodesk has signed a definitive agreement with Graitec to acquire certain technology assets, including its Advance Steel and Advance Concrete product lines, and associated employees.
The acquisition will enhance Autodesk's current offerings for structural engineering and expand its portfolio of technology for Building Information Modeling (BIM) for structural fabrication and detailing.
Why is Autodesk acquiring technology assets from Graitec?
Autodesk's strategy is to extend BIM across the building lifecycle beyond design to support fabrication and construction of structural systems with best-in-class solutions. With the acquisition of Advance Steel and Advance Concrete Technology, Autodesk is expanding its technology and gaining domain expertise to accelerate the adoption of BIM for structural detailing and fabrication, and to connect BIM workflows between engineers, engineering consultants and contractors.
What does that means for me as a user of Advance Steel or Advance Concrete?
In fact, Graitec will remain your support partner as it is today, providing the best in class support to your daily use of this core technology. The development of Advance Steel and Advance concrete will now be done by Autodesk. For such development, a team of over 40 Graitec developers has joined Autodesk, and will guarantee the continuity of the development for both products.
What happens to Graitec ?
Graitec will continue to reinforce its expertise in the structural field. We continue to develop and market our Structural analysis solutions (Advance Design, Arche, Melody, CS Statik, Superstress). In close collaboration with Autodesk, Graitec will also develop vertical add-ons to the Autodesk BIM solutions, aiming to enhance the customer experience with specific and vertical expertise. This R&D investment will be particularly important for Advance Steel in order to complete and extend the products automation.
Last but not least, Graitec continues to be your partner for any sales, training or support purpose. Graitec benefits from an exclusive agreement with Autodesk for Advance Steel and Concrete.
To summarise, in the future, the development of Advance Steel and Advance Concrete will be done at Autodesk, the customer relationship such as the support and training will continue to be the responsibility of Graitec.
We have worked all along this acquisition process, having constantly in mind the best interest for the Advance Steel and Concrete users.
As founder of Graitec, I personally believe that this is a fantastic opportunity for the future. From a product perspective, Advance Steel and Concrete will definitely benefit from the best BIM platform and environment, but also from the AEC experience and unique knowledge of Autodesk. We also expect to see the user community drastically increase, making Advance Steel and Concrete the solutions of choice for Steel and Concrete detailing markets.
Most importantly for Graitec and for me, we will continue to serve you, with our best local support in order to secure your loyalty and custom with Graitec as the industry specialists with unique vertical and industry knowledge.
Graitec is very proud to partner with Autodesk to continue to serve the industry with a common vision and strategy and a shared customer centric approach.

City State Entertainment's Mark Jacobs has been a busy bee over on the Camelot Unchained blog today, delivering two posts about the game. The first discusses the world editor and progress on the programming front. Writes Jacobs,
We've kicked it up a notch with our combat system. We've now got character stats in the game. We've got more interesting abilities that can apply buffs and debuffs and affect your character's stats. Active effects on the character are passed to the UI layer so you can see what effects are active on your character. Abilities are saved to the database and updates can be pushed straight to the Live or Stable server. Cooldowns are in place and can affect one or more abilities.The second blog post includes new concept art and a lengthy lore piece on the Caretakers of the Tuatha De Danann. Enjoy both on the official site.

Religious organization should indicate its full title when carrying out its activities," Vice-chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin writes in his Scraps essays published by the Pravoslavnaya Moskva paper.

Competition within the digital commerce space is extremely fierce, and when a client from this industry asked Impress to help them with launching a new concept, we knew we needed to make them stand out.
With digital video ad spending expected to double by 2016 to over $8 billion, the client developed an online product research and comparison tool with a library of videos at its core to aid consumers in their product purchasing decisions.
Through advanced printing and an integrated video player we created a single, dynamic touchpoint. Our direct mail piece used these elements to create an overall synergy that mimicked the dynamic and immersive experience of the client's website.
In what was near unanimous feedback, the recipients used words such as "intriguing," "novel," "sophisticated," and "high end" when describing this mailer and the perception of the brand behind it.

"What is wrong with these people?"
It's a question you hear quite a bit in 2017. Usually – but not always – it's asked when the subject is Donald Trump.
Trump is the most unpopular president in the history of polling. Seventy per cent of Americans want him out. Almost as many think he won't serve a full term. It's hard to think of an American president as detested as Trump is.
And yet his support among Republicans is rock-solid. Republicans in Congress may tut-tut about his crazy tweets but they have yet to abandon him entirely. And the conservative media – in particular the most-watched cable news network, Fox – still defend every insane thing he says and does.
Thus, the much-heard question: "What is wrong with these people?"
Why do they stubbornly cling to nutty conspiracy theories – like that former president Barack Obama was born in Africa, not America? Or that Obama ordered tapping of the phones at Trump Tower? Or that former Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz's father conspired with Lee Harvey Oswald to kill John F. Kennedy?
Seeking an answer from the lead singer of a revered California punk rock band is a bit unusual. But Exene Cervenka of X is a bit unusual. And given that she has referred to herself as a "conspiracy therapist," she's inarguably very knowledgeable about the roiling, seething conspiracy constituency who – along with Russia –helped shoehorn Trump into the Oval Office.
Reached as she's doing laundry, preparing for her band's 40th anniversary tour, Cervenka is reluctant to discuss politics. Recently, she got in a lot of trouble for doing so. She shared some videos on YouTube that claimed that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School was a hoax and that another mass shooting, in California, was engineered to give the government more control over citizens.
Cervenka apologized for sharing the videos and took them down. But, when pressed, it's evident that X's legendary singer still maintains a lingering connection with the conspiracy theorists who regard Trump as their Saint George, come to slay the twin-headed dragon of liberalism and media.
"There are people who are in power and there are people who are not in power," says Cervenka. "[Government] play their games and we're supposed to play along with everything they do. And act like we're participants when we're not."
To Cervenka, "globalists" in governments do away with our humanity, creating a populace that's "barely surviving, uneducated, scores of people who destroy each other, without even knowing why."
Asked what she and her bandmates – bassist John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer D.J. Bonebrake – are hearing from fans about Trump, Cervenka hesitates, grumbles a bit, then plunges forward. "The media are engaged in total fabrications and lies, and are self-serving," she says, sounding without doubt. "They have candidates they want to win. They aren't the real media, and haven't been the media for quite a long time. But fortunately, we have the Internet."
At this point, one can almost see Infowars' Alex Jones nodding approvingly – about the views of a leftie punk rocker! But the X front-woman, perhaps sensing she has gone too far and sounds a bit too right-wing whacko, pulls back a bit.
"I just don't get involved in politics," she says. "What I see now is that race relations are worse than they've been since the '60s. Crime is out of control in the Democratically-controlled inner cities. All people in power have an agenda. They're pretending to favour immigrants or whatever. But what they really favour is votes."
Maybe, maybe not. Justice and equality shouldn't have a partisan affiliation.
But she's the lead singer of X! What happened?
To punk rockers, who tend to hew to the left side of the spectrum, it's disappointing – and depressing – to hear the likes of Cervenka say such things. Punks are supposed to be against the likes of Trump and Jones, aren't they?
But Cervenka is relevant and not because her band's four earliest albums are among the best of the genre, 40 years after the fact. Cervenka is relevant because she's the embodiment of a growing constituency in the United States of America which believes in nothing emanating from government or the media, and which has decided to craft private worlds.
Exene Cervenka may no longer be much of a true punk rocker.
But she's decidedly a true Trump-era American – and she doesn't think she's wrong.
She thinks we are.

A look at the funniest, most entertaining, and outrageous tweets from some of the biggest names in hip hop.
Kanye wept. Drake reigned. Dark Sky Paradise happened. This week in hip-hop can be summarized in those three tersely worded sentences. It makes sense because this week has been weird everywhere else. There's something going about a dress and llamas. Hip-hop was a small bubble this week, but it's still an existing bubble. So, of course, we got that 140 Bars Or Less.

American meat processing giant Tyson is now the proud owner of a minority steak, er, stake in food tech startup Memphis Meats. While it may sound like Tyson has acquired shares in a Tennessee-based house of sausage and such, that couldn't be further from the truth. Memphis Meats is a cultured meat startup headquartered in the food tech-rich haven of San Francisco, and produces animal protein from animal cells. That's what cultured or "lab-grown" meat means: no actual animals are involved in the process the company calls "a better way to feed a hungry world."
While not exactly famous for sustainability-forward practices, Tyson is marking a shift in interests with this investment. Lab-grown meat eliminates the need to feed, slaughter and process animals. With the world's population ever-increasing and eating more meat than ever before in history, this is a prime time to heavily research alternative methods of food production.
So is this stuff meat or not meat? It depends entirely on your definition of meat — how does that hot dog up there look? The edible result of the culturing process is every bit as meaty as its animal-sourced counterpart; however, it requires up to 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, land and water than conventionally-produced animal protein. As a bonus, it enables you to utilize hashtags like #environment and #sustainability like you know what you're talking about.
CSO Justin Whitmore is quoted in @Forbes regarding our @MemphisMeats announcement today: "If disruptions take place in the way that food is going to be developed or delivered in protein, in particular, @TysonFoods is going to be there." #Environment#Sustainability#Innovationhttps://t.co/IPxYax2hjO
— Tyson Foods (@TysonFoods) January 29, 2018
When it comes down to it, there's no guarantee that the status quo of producing food of any kind — meat, dairy, produce — will be the way of the future. Sinking funds into research now, particularly from a position of power like Tyson has, is a smart, proactive way to get a head start on keeping a densely populated planet safe and fed.

AMSTERDAM – Just because the US national team's 45 minutes of 4-3-3 soccer against Colombia on Tuesday night was a bust, that doesn't mean the experiment was a mistake.
In science, we progress through trial and error. The same can be said for soccer, as Bob Bradley would surely tell you.
The truth is, it's high time the US boss gave this set a shot. At full strength, the Nats have all the necessary tools to replicate the often celebrated and tricky-to-emulate Dutch style.
Inspired in part by the historical need to use space advantageously, the 4-3-3 was perfected in the 1970s by Ajax and the Dutch national team. Run properly, it is extremely hard to handle, even for the best opponents.
The last time Bradley tried it also lasted 45 minutes and was a much bigger disaster: a humiliating 3-1 loss at Costa Rica last June in World Cup qualifying. Of course, that was the wrong time in the wrong place under the wrong circumstance to make this switch. Now is the right time, and the same goes for the US' next friendly in a trip back to South Africa next month.
Having spent more time than I can count watching Eredivisie and Oranje matches, and talking with current and former practitioners of note, I was eager to detect flaws during Tuesday's first-half run-out at PPL Park.
Yes, this time, the United States were actually attempting a textbook 4-3-3. It was no trick of the lineup card. Problem was, they didn't run it faithfully.
READ: Bradley's 4-3-3 experiment falls flat vs. Colombia
There were three glaring issues with the purr of the new motor against Colombia. One was of personnel, one of attitude and one of the most important single element when installing a brand-new 4-3-3: spacing. Let's run through these three issues across positional lines.
The back line was generally with the program. The US center backs were willing to step up for "attacking" defensive plays and they all dealt pretty well with some poor incoming passes.
Naturally, a different midfield set tends to give opponents different attacking lanes. Though the defense scrambled about a bit early on Tuesday, they all settled into good positions.
The biggest disappointment was that wingbacks Heath Pearce and Jonathan Spector didn't get down the line very far or very often. But as I'll explain, that is not so much their fault.
First, let's talk about roles. On Tuesday, nobody's was clear. This is not only a big problem, it creates others. Ideally, one wants a centrally pinned defensive stopper, a two-way midfielder shading one way and a forward-thinking playmaker set slightly to the other.
[inline_node:320719]Why Benny Feilhaber (or even Alejandro Bedoya) wasn't used in this set-up is beyond me. Instead, there were three somewhat similar guys and no organized plan.
We had Jermaine Jones wandering wide, Michael Bradley dropping too deep and (as ESPN's Julie Foudy noted) Maurice Edu frantically waving his teammates all forward. With confusion reigning positionally, it's no wonder the spacing was a big problem. When the US attempted transition, one of three problems predictably arose.
Either the three midfielders were too crammed together, or they were too far apart or they were all inhabiting the same basic horizontal line. Additionally, all of them seemed allergic to the vertical pass up the middle, which is an absolute must in this formation.
Someone in the middle has to insist on moving the ball forward in a positive manner. Though not an ideal No. 10 player, Bradley is most familiar with this role. For whatever reason, he played things safe – certainly not a bad thing in and of itself.
This was nobody's fault and everyone's fault at once. With no one holding the keys, there were precious few organized ideas moving forward and far from enough patience in simply possessing the ball.
Yes, the ideal team running a 4-3-3 likes to attack, but first it likes to tire you from chasing and lull you to sleep. It likes to toy with you relentlessly, in fact. The US are accustomed to explosive bursts on the ball, and can still have those, but they need to revamp their mind set for this tactic.
Opportunism is no longer just pouncing on a stray moment; it's about forcing those moments, repeatedly, from a blueprint construction. It's about controlling the game.
Controlling the midfield is actually most essential to winning in a 4-3-3. But you get the blueprint wrong, the house always crumbles. Next time, let's see one cog with an attacking eye, Landon Donovan or Feilhaber, and then let's judge.
The major issue with this line was also quite obvious. Wingers Stuart Holden and Brek Shea didn't push high enough and spent far too much time far away from the touchline.
As David Winner describes in his existential manual to the thinking behind the Dutch 4-3-3, Brilliant Orange, the idea of spacing has many forms. Total Football is as much about creating passing lanes as it is about using them.
With Holden and Shea routinely 25 yards or more in from the sideline against Colombia, several inherent functions of the formation were practically non-existent. Not only did this eliminate their presence as an attack outlet, it changed the way the defense was able to organize.
With a 4-3-3, the idea is be compact at and coming out of the back, then spread the field in attack. The US actually made Colombia's job much easier by wandering positions when they had the ball.
[inline_node:320739]The further back the wingers, the more the visitors' wide defenders could provide midfield support. With them straying so far inside, there were no overlap partners for the fullbacks and an already confused midfield became more crowded.
All this going on effectively left Jozy Altidore stranded. Combined with the midfield rejecting vertical passes and the absence of a true attacker among the three, the striker generally had to go wide to see the ball, further distorting the proper shape.
The end effect of all this? It took 26 minutes before the US even attempted a diagonal outlet from central midfield to an advanced winger. No one tried to take a defender from a wide attacking position until just after the half-hour – and that was Oguchi Onyewu.
There was no wing crossing, few wide responsibilities for Colombia's defense and I stopped counting the number of times Jones was wider and further down downfield than Shea as the US advanced at eight with half the period left.
There is a difference between daring and calamitous; the team needs to invest with confidence in this tactic or there will be no dividends.
Re-tool the midfield slightly with some smart flair, set stricter roles and down a shot of tactical confidence. Do that, and Bob Bradley may find just the right gameplan to match a squad loaded with quickness and determination.

Cory Booker, Newark, N.J.'s mayor and Democratic platform-committee co-chair, stopped by CNN's Starting Point this morning to discuss his party's decision to alter the language of its platform to restore a mention of God and declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
He said that he found the extensive discussion about the issue "a little over the top" and encouraged viewers to "not create a partisan issue out of a nonpartisan issue." From Mediaite:
The vote, he said, was made after an effort to add back the language Democrats had used for years within their platform, "convention after convention," and called the change an "unfortunate [omission]." He also made note that, on the other side, the candidate does not [agree] with his own party's plank regarding abortion and abortion exceptions.
Booker also advised others to "not create a partisan issue out of a nonpartisan issue." All this […], he continued, is "a simple omission that was corrected by the Democratic party."

I tried to bring you some information on the new Gigabyte S1185 slate the other day but pretty much failed! Let me give that another shot now with the help of news, images and videos from a few bloggers out at CES.
Let's start with the specifications we've got so far. Bear in mind that Gigabyte are a relatively small company and their tablets are often build to spec for large orders so what's possible in terms of specifications, might not be available.
- 11.6" fullHD IPS screen with integrated optical mouse pointer and mouse buttons on the frame. This feature is extremely useful for two-handed Windows desktop use.
- Processor: Intel 3rd Gen Core (Ivy Bridge) i3 and i5 (details not given)
- RAM: Up to 8GB
- Storage: Up to 256GB
- Full size VGA port, full-size HDMI, one USB3.0, micro SD slot
- Cam: 5Mp rear, 1.3Mp front
- 3G option
- Kickstand
- Weight: 2lb (about 900gm)
- Docking port for optional keyboard
There's no detailed information on the battery capacity at this stage although Gigabyte are saying 7-8hrs.
The Gigabyte S1185 is typical of Gigabyte tablet offerings. With the optical mouse and kickstand they've once again offered features that will appeal to the pro user. We hope they also release a desktop docking station that could make hot-desking even easier.
Price target $1000. Availability: March 2013

It was intended to be special. We pulled out all the stops to begin with. Starting two years ago when Alan Sprints, owner of Hair of the Dog Brewing Company, came to Bend to brew his two most iconic beers (Adam and Fred), ferment them and put them into barrels for an as yet unknown purpose. Our team brewed two of our own beers (The Dissident and The Stoic) and treated them the same way. Meanwhile, we had recently acquired some very special barrels from Europe, a port pipe and a sherry pipe and some cognac barrels. These were introduced into the mix with bourbon, wine, rye and new oak and the beer waited. Alan suggested we do a blend to see what we could create. And we waited. We periodically tasted the beers but mostly, we waited.
A year passed, then another six months and we waited. It seemed during a lull in business action, that it was time to start talking about what we wanted to do with all of this lovely beer. Alan came to Bend in August to discuss the blend. What we liked was a blend that was nearly equal parts of each beer. However, The Dissident was intended to be added in its non-soured version. We found that the beer needed some acidity to add structure to the final beer. So, a soured The Dissident was added as a minor ingredient along with the non-soured version. The Stoic, additionally, was created without pomegranate molasses to reduce the acidity as well. The final blend, or "Collage", was wonderful in all its complexity. When you find the Adam and Fred with their component parts of smoked and rye malts, they add just the amount of earthy complexity to round out the finished product.
Why am I telling you all this when the article is about the beer dinner? Well, I think to understand the dinner, you must first understand the remarkable beer and its component parts who gave life to the dinner in the first place. Then you can understand the vision of two men, Paul Kasten, chef at Wildwood, and Jeff Usinowicz, chef at Deschutes Brewery's Portland Public House.
Their interpretation of the beers and the accompanying food was remarkable. They led us on a journey the likes of which has been seldom seen around beer. The beers were themselves remarkable and the understanding of them in the context of their individuality and character, what they contribute to the final blend, and then the remarkable food preparations were, in a word, extraordinary. I have been privileged to travel quite a bit and have attended hundreds of beer dinners, both ours and others. This, in my opinion, was the best ever, in its uniqueness, creativity, story and overall quality.
In addition, there was something extra. I have known Alan Sprints for a very long time. In fact, I was there when they introduced Fred to an adoring audience 14 years ago. (I know I said it was Adam at the dinner, but it was a long time ago and there were no markings on the then un-opened case.) My case of Fred #1 has been dying to be opened for an occasion such as this. And we did. What a treat to see this 14 year-old beer in its wizened condition. And we were able to raise a little extra money for our charity of the evening, the Oregon Food Bank as a result. Thank you everyone who donated!!
And, we get to do it again. Yes, this Friday at our Bend Pub, our culinary team will recreate this great event for a select group with the foresight to purchase tickets. I will see you all there. Remember, work, work, work.

Now I forgot to tell you that if you are in New York and in Central Park and you're a dog you just have to go to the cafe at the Delacorte Theater. You know the theater where they perform Shakespeare in the Park. Well the cafe has great things for people like lemon whoopie pies, but, even better, they have huge dog bones for me. There is a enormous glass jar on the counter and they're free. You can just lift the lid and take as many as you want. We stopped by everyday. I insisted.
Angus and Roxie and I sat on a park bench near the theater for a photo-op. That's what dad calls it. Seems like everything is a photo-op in dad's world. Anyway, it was a beautiful day the day we arrived in New York. We walked all over Central Park and met all sorts of dogs. In the evening, Dad went to see a play on Broadway called Everyday Rapture and he loved it. Angus and Roxie and I stayed in the suite, ordered room service and watched TV. Well, we didn't really order room service. Dad always checks the bill really closely.
You know what? Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry Potter sat right in front of my dad at the play. You may not know that I love Harry Potter. But I do. I really do. Dad took a pic of young thespian Radcliffe with his iPhone for me. It's pretty fuzzy but it is Harry Potter. I would know that profile anywhere. Dad also took a picture of the stage curtain. It is a beautiful shade of blue. I just love blue. Except in food. I definitely don't like blue food. Except for blueberries. I'll eat one or two of those. On a really hot day.
Our second day in New York was quite rainy, but that didn't stop us from paddling all over New York. We got completely soaked. We looked like little beavers. Beavers in long coats with good teeth. I wonder what Csopie, that sweet Puli, looks like when she gets wet. I wonder how often she takes a bath. What shampoo does she use? Does she bathe at all? I'm sure she does.
We walked back to the hotel along all the boutiques and cafes on Madison Avenue. We passed Nello. The restaurant I wrote about a few weeks ago. By then the sun was peeking through and the tables outside Nello looked beautiful. We also ran into Susie in a pink coat with her dog walker. Susie is our old friend Brondi's dog. Part dog part bloated tick. With a really tiny head. But really sweet. Sort of. We didn't call Brondi this trip. We haven't called her in a long time. We hope she somehow sees this post so she knows we were thinking good thoughts. When we got back to the hotel, we soaked our tired feet in the tub and then settled in while Dad went to an exhibit at MOMA. He told us it was a performance art exhibit that featured naked people. Several patrons have been thrown out or arrested or something for copping a feel. That's what I read in the New York Times. That night dad went to dinner without us at a restaurant called Paola's next door to the hotel. He sat at the bar and had them make him one of his Whiskey Sours, complete with a slice of orange and sugar on the rim. He loved his pasta with green beans and potatoes. He said it was Ligurian. Can someone tell me where Liguria is? He sat next to a nice guy named Steve who lives with his wife on Fifth Avenue across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Of course, they talked about me and Roxie and Angus. The guy even brought up our website on his phone. He thought we were "cute."
Our last day in New York was beautiful and we headed north to the Conservatory Garden in Central Park. Its site was once a huge greenhouse. It's now filled with beautiful flower gardens and fountains. We really loved the birds that love to splash in the fountain.
We then made our way to Lincoln Center where Angus tried to jump up on the granite bench that surrounds the huge fountain there. A security guard appeared and told us that is simply not allowed. We loved that fountain. It was super gushy. We then had a picnic right in the middle of Columbus Circle. It's like a little oasis there since they redid it and surrounded it with fountains. Did I mention that I love fountains?
After lunch we made our way back to the hotel along Central Park South and then up Fifth Avenue. It was a really lovely trip, but we happy to see the comfy cushions in the back of our car. As my friend Dorothy says "There's no place like home. There's no place like home."
