ELSEWHERE IN OZZYLAND: Jack Osbourne also has the famous kid blues. Explaining why he checked himself into rehab he says "I took myself out of the picture for a second and I looked around at every single person in the room - at who they were, how old they were and what they had going on in their lives. A lot of them were near 30, unemployed, living off their parents. There were heroin addicts - there were the world's biggest couch potatoes. I don't want to be like that. I don't want my life to be controlled by a drug." Interesting that he looked at these people hooked on drugs and sponging off their parents well into their fourth decade, and decided he didn't want the drugs part of the deal. But you'll note he booked himself into rehab, and didn't at the same time book himself into his own place.

Cheerleaders Perform Insane Acrobatic Feats [Video]
Who says cheerleading isn't about sheer athleticism? After watching this video, nobody.
Trust us, we wouldn't post a cheerleading video unless it was truly worth watching. The human acrobatics are incredible. Does the cool music and sweet camera work help? You be the judge.

The story of Varu's creation of the world of Jenika, and the fall of humanity and feykind. The phrase in Atorinth at the beginning simply states, 'God created the world.' The phrase at the end implores, 'God protect our souls in peace!' Though not related in the story (because everyone already knows this in Jenika, of course) the Drainil, or messengers of spirit, have the appearance of dragons.

One thing that has fascinated me recently has been the seemingly imperative perogative of the left to somehow invoke Jesus into their side of the debate. This is interesting because many of these "Jesus-thumping" (never would they actually go for the Bible) politicians gladly align themselves with aggressively anti-Christian factions.
Consider Senator Hillary Clinton's recent injection of Christ into her position on immigration. This is just the latest in a series of Christian allusions by the social left. Former president Clinton did it frequently; Al Gore mentioned scripture in the 2000 presidential debates; John Kerry did the same. Yet all the aforementioned men had one thing in common: they were devout social liberals, considering abortion OK and same-sex marriage as a possibillity. So their conveniently timed sermons clearly don't match up to what they may claim they believe.
Why the interest from the left in Jesus? It's very amusing, in light of some really harsh attacks from liberals on the "religious right." Their sudden piety could be attributed to a possible growing trend in mainstream America that is very pro-Christian. The phenomenal success of Pastor Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life is evidence; so is the recent Gallup poll which reveals that a majority of Americans accept the Biblical account of creation.
So the left realizes that the Christian vote is not to be scoffed at. But if Congressional Democrats want to take advantage of these recently revealed trends, a complete rethinking of their far-left bent is necessary. And that is truly easier said than done.

An issue I found while navigating is that then when the GPS signal becomes weak the software tends to freeze. It also repeatedly gives out a, 'GPS signal too low' message, which quickly gets annoying, though this can be turned off in one of the options. By way of contrast, the TomTom GO features Assisted Satellite Navigation which continues to guide you even without a signal. This means that it behaves much more gracefully when the signal temporarily goes down.
One thing that I've come to rely on with my TomTom GO is the free speed camera database downloadable from here. This also works with the Destinator but has to be imported and converted to the correct format using the Destinator Console. I also had trouble with the POI database with many entries I was expecting to find, such as Banks, not available. It also took me a while to realise that to get a POI category to show on the map you need to activate it, and this is done by selecting an eye like icon to the left.
One feature that is quite handy is a permanent on screen 'Home' button'. This can be set to an address of your choice, so you can always navigate there at the touch of a button. Another touted feature is seamless cross border navigation. However, though I'd copied the Major Roads of Europe onto the PDA I couldn't get it to plan a route and instead it kept falling back to the default map.
All in all Destinator PN impressed me with its powerful features and routing ability but it has to be said that I wasn't completely convinced. Its interface is just too quirky, brimming with strange icons that don't mean much to the uninitiated. By comparison TomTom Navigator is much more immediate. What's more, the latest version matches Destinator for features and exceeds it in some areas. Destinator's support for TMC might have made for a useful and not to mention, cheaper alternative to TomTom's Plus service, (which offers live traffic data and more), but it's not much use in the UK without compatible GPS receivers.
Destinator is a well featured and powerful piece of software but the interface is quirky where is should be intuitive making it difficult to use at times. While it certainly makes for an interesting alternative if I were laying down my cash, I'd still go for TomTom.

Yes, the lovely Miko Macabre (who I first discussed here) and her acerbic but hilarious take on trashy horror films is back with a new episode of her show Cryptique. She's got a new look, better lighting and improved audio, though I have to say the editing still needs some tightening. Still, the show is a lot of fun and this time Miko skewers the Frank Henenlotter classic Basket Case. You can link directly to the Cryptique sight here, and check out the new episode below.

Sonic ReducerThe Ruby Suns Sea Lion (Lil' Chef/Sub Pop)Part hippie drum circle, part lo-fi psychedelia, The Ruby Suns have crafted an indie-pop record with a "world music" feel about it. The Ruby Suns' singer/songwriter Ryan McPhun is clearly enamored with the sounds he's come across while trotting the globe, but a part of him still likes the popular synth-enhanced genres from the States. Sometimes there are too many instruments in play and the banging and clanging starts to grate. Still, Sea Lion keeps you guessing and the surprises are usually pleasant. (SM) Speakeasy All Your New Favorite Songs (Zarr Records)Midwest groover Speakeasy delivers a solid work of punchy funk woven over and under rock 'n' roll rhythms. It's certainly possible to be too catchy, though, with hooks like "You never got down with the get-down until you get down with me now, baby." Speakeasy sharpens its sound with producer Pete Matthews (The B-52s, North Mississippi All Stars), but this album never takes any chances in regard to song structure. The best bet might be handpicking your new favorite songs off iTunes. (JH) The Gutter Twins Saturnalia (Sub Pop)Rogue songwriters Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, QOTSA) and Greg Dulli (The Afghan Whigs, The Twilight Singers) are The Gutter Twins. This effort harkens, lavish and unabashedly ornate, back to the days of early "alternative." Still, a mature approach puts the brakes on "throwback," a word heading down the rails due to some of these arpeggiated, effects-laden guitar riffs. Bluesy swagger tinged by an aching gothic sensibility, this is a ride worth taking.

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson has had enough and is retiring… at least from the pageant life.
The star of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" will no longer compete in children's pageants, which helped launch her career on "Toddlers & Tiaras."
"We're done," Alana's mother, "Mama" June Shannon, told In Touch. "We haven't done a pageant for a while, because we're so busy with our show and school and life in general."
According to her mom, the child star "misses the stage," but still remains close to her pageant friends.
"Alana's trying different things, but I don't think she's found that new niche yet that she wants to get into," June said.

I am considering having a revision rhinoplasty cause I've developed a pollybeak deformity. I have an acquaintance who works as an assistant to a plastic surgeon and he told me that the surgery is a much simpler process that can happen with local anesthesia, it takes less time to heal and that the overall cost of the procedure is significantly smaller than a full nosejob. I can't afford a second nosejob but if this is really the case I would like to look into it. Is there any truth into it?
Pollybeak Correction - Simple Procedure?
Doctor Answers 11
I read your posting and reviewed your photo. Your upper bridge is a bit low, and your lower bridge near your tip is a bit high. I think the best approach is to decrease the height of your bridge near your tip, and possibly deproject your tip as well.
Get a second opinion from another rhinoplasty specialist to discuss what may be best for you.
All the best from NJ.
Web reference: http://nosejobphotos.com/
This is far from a simple operation under local anesthesia - to get the best result you will likely need cartilage grafting
Web reference: http://www.seattlerhinoplasty.com/html/before_n_after_set.php?procedure=revision_rhinoplasty&id=03
Surgery to correct polly-beak deformity is not a simple procedure. It is a revision rhinoplasty that is usually done under general anesthesia. The cartilage of the lower third of the nose has to be sculpted and adjusted. Any further scar tissue is removed and occasionally bridge augmentation at the top of the nasal bridge has to be performed. Close follow-up is also important because of the potential for reoccurrence. Cortisone shots during the first six months after the revision surgery will help prevent it from coming back.

I'm sorrry, but I don't think nasal revision for correction of your pollybeak will be a "simple" procedure. Your tip lacks projection; the fullness above your tip is thick skin or excess cartilage. However a careful examination will be necessary before making specific recommendations.
Cannot tell from photos but some polly beaks are such because the skin thickened as the nose swellig dimished. Maybe the problem is the " soft tissue" as we call it; not necessarily cartilage.
The examination will tell the doctor of such is the case and whether or not the injection of a shrinking medication will work.
Regarding surgery, it is not always as simple a situation as one might think. The surgeon has to be prepared to do what has to be done, including the use of grafted tissue or even insertion of plastic parts.
Revision nasal surgery should not be underestimated.
Robert Kotler, MD, FACS
Beverly Hills, CA
There are a number of causes for a Polly beak deformity following rhinoplasty. Some are simple to fix and some are more complex. The biggest problem I have seen is when you need a complex treatment and opt for the simple fix that might not be enough, then you have worse problems. I suggest you either discuss this with your surgeon or seek out a specialist in revision Rhinoplasty to discuss the best treatment for your Polly beak deformity.
Web reference: http://revisionrhinoplastyny.com
The amount of work in a revision rhinoplasty can be either quite simple or very extensive depending upon what was done to your nose previously and what additional alterations you would like achieved. If it is something as simple as just taking down a small pollybeak and not doing anything else to the nose, then this procedure can often be done under local anesthesia with minimal costs and downtime. However, if other changes need to be made like correcting a hanging tip which you might have or narrowing the mid third or correcting irregularities, other efforts and costs might be involved. I hope this information helps.
A polly beak deformity occurs in the lower 1/3 -2/3's of the nose. This is often soft tissue and resiudal dorsal septal cartilage that needs to be taken down in most cases.
It is a mistake to apply the word "simple" to any revision rhinoplasty procedure. This takes experience and any surgeon who says it is "simple" is either deceiving you or deceiving themselves a bit.
regarding: " Polly beak Correction - Simple Procedure?

I have an acquaintance who works as an assistant to a plastic surgeon and he told me that the surgery is a much simpler process that can happen with local anesthesia, it takes less time to heal and that the overall cost of the procedure is significantly smaller than a full nosejob. I can't afford a second nosejob but if this is really the case I would like to look into it. Is there any truth into it?"
The Parrot Beak or Polly Beak Nose deformity is caused by a combination of factors resulting in a residually elevated septum and relatively low tip complex compared to the line of the dorsum of the nose. Although the lowering of the cartilaginous septum is not as involved as a full reduction rhinoplasty, I would not classify it as "simple". IF it was so simple, WHY would we so so many people with failed Polly beak revision procedures? The operation requires precision and accuracy.
If you believe and trust your surgeon, you may want to ask your surgeon if he could reduce his fees, in your case, to correct this complication.

This old page has been moved! Click the link next on the right to enter the new Enciclopedia of Cacti. We hope you find this new site informative and useful.
A fast growing cactus that is covered with eye-catching silvery spines. Creates large clumps as it matures.
Description: Cleistocactus strausii is a slender, erect, columnar group-forming cactus covered with so many silvery-white hairy spines that the green stem is almost completely hidden. It branch profusely from the base. Stems: The stems are grey-green, slender columns up to 3 m tall , but only about 6 cm across. Ribs: The "columns" are formed from around 25 ribs. Areole: Closely set and densely packaged over the stems. Central spines: Four, thin acicular, yellow-brown up to 40 mm long. Radial spines: 20-40 usually shorter, fine, bristly 15-50 mm long. Flowers: This plant is a heavy bloomer and mature cactuses, over 50 cm tall, will profusely produce deep violet-red tubular, slightly curved flowers. The blooms are 6 to 9 cm long and protrude horizontally from the stem on the sides near the tips. In common with other cacti in the genus Cleistocactus, the flowers hardly open, with only the style and stamens protruding. Floral tube with silky hairs. Blooming season: Late summer. Cultivated plants often flower freely. Fruits: Pear shaped, red, up to 2 cm in diameter. Remarks: The nice crested form is very nice and will form large silvery mounds.
It is propagated usually by grafting as the cuttings will generally not root.
Photo of conspecific taxa, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Cleistocactus strausii complex.
Scientific name: Cleistocactus strausii (Heese) Backeb. Kakteenkunde und Kakteenfreund, p.125, 1934
Type: Type Specimen: LT: Heese, Gartenflora f. 47 (1907); ; LT designated by Hunt & Taylor, Cact. Syst. Initiat. 21: 6 (2006)
Origin: It is native to high mountain regions of Southern Bolivia and Northern Argentina.
Conservation status: Listed in CITES appendix 2.
Common English Names include: Silver torch cactus
Etymology: Cleistocactus - Greek words "Kleistos" meaning closed. Strausii - For Strauss.
Cultivation: The Cleistocactus is a vigorous and easy to grow plant, and requires, strong sunlight or half shade, but not high temperatures. Water generously during the summer, but allow to dry fully before watering again. During the winter months plants should be rather kept dry. In cultivation, watering too much in winter often leads to root rot. It can withstand hard frosts down to -10°C, but the tips might get damaged below -5°C. Since they are rapid growers it needs plenty of space for its roots. Repotting should be done every other year, or when the plant has outgrown its pot, and give an occasional high potassium liquid feed. Its silvery spined stems branch from the base and then grow straight upwards towards the greenhouse roof, making a pleasant backdrop for the more numerous globular cacti.
Propagation: It is propagated usually by grafting or sometime by cuttings, but the cuttings will generally not root. If you remove an offset, remember to let it dry for a week or so, letting the wound heal (cuttings planted to soon easily rot before they can grow roots). Rooting usually occurs within 3-8 weeks.

Today I've got another Recipe Redo for you – one of my favorite recipes I shared in the beginning days of my blog that is so good it deserves a little facelift.
This recipe for Tomato Basil Tart is a perfect dish for a brunch, luncheon or as a side dish for dinner. You can combine it with a green salad and you have a meal. It is also a great dish for a picnic which is how I recently enjoyed it.
This recipe came from my mother who had attended a luncheon with some of the ladies in her apartment complex and when she came home she was raving about this dish that someone had brought. I told her to get the recipe for me!! And she did – thanks mom. It has become a favorite since the first time I made it. It tastes alot like pizza – with it's warm mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and tomatoes.
I have tweeked the recipe a bit. The original recipe called for a layer of fresh basil leaves and garlic – I used a layer of pesto instead. So here is my version of Tomato Basil Tart.
I start with a store bought pie crust. Feel free to be an overachiever and make one from scratch! Bake it according to directions and then fill it with 1/2 C of Mozzarella cheese.
Allow the cheese to melt on the warm crust.
Then cover with a layer of pesto.
And then a layer of fresh Roma tomatoes. Mine came straight from the garden.
Next the mixture of mayonnaise, cheese and pepper goes on top of the tomatoes.
Top it off with some more Mozzarella cheese and it is ready for the oven. Bake until golden brown.
I like to garnish it with a little sliced fresh basil. The next step is to slice yourself a piece and enjoy. I love it warm, right out of the oven but it is lovely at room temperature and reheats well also.
- Pie Crust, store bought
- 1½ C shredded Mozzarella
- 4 medium tomatoes, sliced
- ¼ C pesto
- ½ C mayo
- ¼ C shredded Parmesan cheese
- ⅛ tsp. white pepper
- fresh basil for garnish
- Bake pie crust according to directions on crust.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle ½ cup Mozzarella on bottom. Let cool.
- While crust is cooling, cut tomatoes into slices (about ¼" thick or thicker if preferred) and drain on paper towel.
- Spread layer of pesto over cheese.
- Place tomatoes over pesto layer.
- Combine mayo, Parmesan, pepper and remaining Mozzarella and spread on top.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until browned.

The game is based on the Ninjago theme, and includes ten microfigures representing major Ninjago characters. Jay, Kai, Cole and Zane must infiltrate their own temple after it has been overrun by skeletons, and locate the four golden weapons in order to defeat the skeleton general. The game is cooperative - the players all take the role of ninjas and either win or lose the game as a team. A Sensei Wu microfigure is included which can save the team from defeat once per game, and a rope element can be used to swing a Ninja onto a new space. The game uses both a die to dictate movement, and a brick-built spinner to decide combat.

Drosophila Developmental Neuroscience and Gene Regulation
The long-term goal of our lab's research program is to understand the molecular basis of Drosophila CNS development. The experimental system we study are the neurons and glia that reside along the midline of the embryonic CNS. Much of our early work studied the Drosophila single-minded bHLH-PAS transcription factor gene, the master regulator of CNS midline cell development, and the lab continues to devote special attention to how transcription factors control developmental processes. In recent years, we have utilized genetic, molecular, genomic, and cellular approaches, including live imaging, to pioneer understanding of Drosophila CNS midline cell development. Our studies have revealed the regulatory circuitry controlling neuronal and glial cell fate and differentiation, the properties of midline transcriptional enhancer elements, the control of neuronal and glial cell migration, how axons and glia interact, and how motoneurons form precise synapses on muscles.

Day Jobs: Undergraduate and Masters Students
Not content with dominating the triathlon competition, the Brownlee brothers balance their sporting commitment with academic study. Gold medal winner Alistair is studying for his Masters in Finance at Leeds Metropolitan University. His younger brother Jonny has not only followed in his footsteps by winning bronze in the same event, despite incurring a 15-second penalty for mounting his bike too quickly, he's also an undergraduate history student at the University of Leeds. Alistair briefly studied Medicine at Cambridge but dropped out to allow more time to focus on training.

We had our first real snowfall of the season last night. It was nice to wake up to a layer of fresh clean snow outside.
The snow was heavy and sticky...what we call "snowman snow". Kids around town were excited because we only get "snowman snow" a few times a year. It's not usually warm enough.

The Best Headphones for Cycling
Look for thicker-than-normal cords with the leader wire centered between the two headphones. They should have earpieces that fit over most of the surface of the ear to keep out wind, they should be about the size of a 50-cent piece or slightly larger. There are two types that work best. One type has a springy band that fits around the back of the neck, joining both earpieces together. The other type has individual speakers, with a small, ergonomic, form-fitted padded clip that fits over the top of your ear.
Common Pitfalls
Avoid buying earbud-type headphones. Earbuds don't stay in your ears when you get sweaty, sound terrible and are even dangerous because you have to keep stuffing them back in your ears while you are flying down the highway. Don't spend less than $10 for any pair of headphones either, since they crackle, the cords break and they whistle when wind blows across them.
Where To Buy
It's fine to buy your headphones at Wal-Mart, Kmart or any of the "marts"--even RadioShack is good. Don't buy them at a bike shop; you will pay double for them there, if they have them at all. Just look for brand names like Sony, Koss, Phillips or any recognizable brand name. Look for brand names that have lifetime guarantees; even though they won't actually last that long, you will get your money's worth.
As of 2010, a pair of lifetime-guaranteed headphones costs about $15 to $20. Some high-fidelity headphones run up to $25 to $50, but these may actually be counterproductive. When you spend that much, you get into noise-canceling headphones that block out traffic noise; you need to be able to hear traffic approaching from behind.
Comparison Shopping
The "top of the head" headphones may be a bit cheaper, but these are a pain in the neck because they interfere with your helmet. Your helmet has to fit over the steel wire and that presses the wire into the top of your head. The behind-the-neck headphones are the most stable, but be aware of the fact that a small wire will be resting on the nape of your neck all day when you are riding. With individual "over the ear" type, if you are wearing glasses of any kind, the two earpieces will be competing for the same space between your ear and your scalp.
The single best accessory for cycling is a cell phone with a built-in radio. This device will actually shut off the music that you are listening to and ring the phone through the headphones as you are riding. All you have to do is touch the phone and begin talking; the phone will pick up your conversation through your jersey, and you can hear the person on the other end through your headphones. When you end your conversation, the radio comes back on and you haven't even stopped your bike. Another handy accessory is a do-rag. Tie this pirate-looking headgear around your head, securing the headphones to your head. Then put on the helmet, positioning the speakers of the headphones through the triangle in the helmet strap.
Insider Tips
Put your headphones on first, then connect the headphones to the radio or phone. Drop the phone or radio down your back, inside your jersey. When the phone, radio or I-pod drops out the bottom of your jersey, pull the slack from the cord and drop it in one of your jersey's back pockets. Before buying, check to make sure the cord is long enough to accomplish this. When you are done riding, coil up your headphones and tuck them inside your helmet. Some headpieces are foam-covered and some have a soft, smooth plastic. The foam won't last; get the ones with the smooth rubber coating.

Bart Simpson Toy Story Parody on The Simpsons [VIDEO]
Bart Simpson and the beloved show The Simpsons poked fun at Toy Story Sunday night.
Bart Simpson is trending on Twitter right now and I bet it is because of Sunday night's episode of The Simpsons. Either that or somebody was really bored and decided to make Bart one of the highest ranked trends. Anyways, Sunday the hit FOX cartoon poked fun at Pixar's Toy Story franchise.
The episode of The Simpsons that aired on Sunday was entitled "Angry Dad: The Movie" and we take a look at Bart Simpson and his homemade film. Maybe Bart's film debut is the reason he is a Twitter trend right now. Regardless the Toy Story parody is pretty damn funny and I have included the episode below. (start the clip at 17:00 for the parody)
Keep up the Bart Simpson trend by heading over to Twitter and tweeting his name! Catch The Simpsons Sunday night at 8|7c on FOX!

So how many times a day do you check Site Meter?
UPDATE: I'll bet no one checks the Site Meter as often as I do. I can become mesmerized clicking from one page of it to another. What's going on with the world map? Let's map the last 200 visitors. Someone in Riyadh is reading. Let's look at the time zones. The "Who's On?" pages. Who's been on the longest? Why someone in Virginia Beach has been reading for over 100 minutes and has viewed 40+ pages. How's the year going? Will this month be the highest traffic yet? How about the referring web pages ranked by visit? And the search words ranked by visit? As usual, the therefore symbol and Kate Moss naked are doing well, with some interesting action today for "high heeled boots" and "fo shizzle" -- which I doubt I've ever written. Yeah, it's in a comment. Ha, ha -- I come up fifth in Google for "fo shizzle." That's so wrong. And now writing this post might boost me higher in the crazy ranking business that is Google. And so, hours drift by....

I check it often.

Almost never. I actually practice law full time. I add to the blog, and what happens site wise happens.
- vbspurs said...
I confess -- I'm at Althousian levels for Site-Metre checking.
But it gets worse. I have another hit counter from Italy, and I check that too, since their data is different (in many ways, better) than the still excellent SM.
Now I have another obsession...until it becomes second-hat at least.
I've just become a blog beggar at Blogads.
Since last night, I must've refreshed a million times to see who or what is sponsoring a new ad of mine -- as well as seeing which of my 5 ads were added on to sites.
This has a secondary purpose though:
I am now much more receptive to clicking on ads, say on Althouse, because I know every little bit helps.

You gave in to the trackback hounds! I thought you'd hold out. Now I'm one of the few people that completely disregards this.
I don't want to know everyone who posts something about my site. For me, it's always a pleasant suprise to find out a couple of months later that someone had been talking about what I thought was a completely needless topic.
I do check sitemeter often, but seldom do I find anything as interesting as you. - 10/18/05, 7:44 PM
- olivia1 said...
So, I couldn't quite tell but does this mean if a blogger is a friend who knows your email address they can tell if you've visited their site and how long you stayed? Does every blog meter work the same way?
- Ann Althouse said...
Steve: I just tested the feature for a few minutes and then took it down. I hadn't noticed Blogger lets you do that, but then I decided I didn't want it. Too much clutter. I can see who's linking anyway.
Olivia: No. Email addresses aren't revealed. Only the names of the cities, something that really fascinates me. I'm really touched when I see that someone from far away is reading. - 10/18/05, 8:09 PM
- john marzan said...
can you tell me my location using sitemeter?
- john marzan said...
you can also adjust your comments permalink to include the time AND date. For example. 6:35 PM, October 19, 2005, instead of just 6:35 PM.
A new blogger option too, i think. - 10/19/05, 6:42 AM
- Ann Althouse said...
John: If you want to know anything about what I can see on Site Meter, click on Site Meter and look. It's not private. Basically, I can't tell WHO is here (unless you comment), but I can see where people are from.
And thanks for the tip about getting dates on the comments. - 10/19/05, 7:03 AM

Congratulations on rising up the google list!! - 10/6/06, 11:38 AM

ABU Go Home
Abu speaks today about his role in the firings of the US Attorneys.This is probably not going to help him:
''There obviously remains some confusion about my involvement in this,'' Gonzales said Friday. ''At the end of the day, I know what I did. And I know that the motivations for the decisions I made were not based on improper reasons.''Umm, okay. I guess that translates to, "You gotta trust me when I tell ya I didn't do anything bad." Well, no, we don't. And the only confusion here is yours- you're apparently confused as to just how gullible the rest of us are.
This isn't going to help him either.
''I signed off on the recommendations and signed off on the implementation plan, and that's the extent of my involvement,'' he told reporters after a holding a round-table discussion in the U.S. attorney's office here with state and federal law enforcement officials about a Justice Department initiative to thwart online predators.So basically he just turns little asswipe Karl, Jr. wannabes like Kyle Sampson loose to make decisions and he then signs whatever is put in front of him.
That leaves just a few options, either (a) Abu is an incompetent hack who hasn't got the faintest fucking idea what is going on in the Justice Department or (b) he's a fucking liar who doesn't want to get nailed as the Bush-Rove lackey that he is. No, wait, it must be (c) all of the above.
Dear Abu, I think you belong in prison, but I'd be happy if you'd just go the fuck away.

Throw the bums out, and destroy the RNC before it destroys America. It's the only way to be sure.
Update: This is HIGH-LARIOUS. From the WAPO, in an editorial by Michael Waldman and Justin Levitt:
(Michael Waldman is executive director and Justin Levitt is an attorney at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law)
Eight federal prosecutors were fired last year because they did not sufficiently support President Bush's priorities, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' former chief of staff says in remarks prepared for delivery Thursday to Congress.Well, in my opinion, the distinction between bushies and large, festering assholes is largely artificial.
"The distinction between 'political' and 'performance-related' reasons for removing a United States attorney is, in my view, largely artificial," said Kyle Sampson.
Throw the bums out, and destroy the RNC before it destroys America. It's the only way to be sure.
Update: This is HIGH-LARIOUS. From the WAPO, in an editorial by Michael Waldman and Justin Levitt:
But the notion of widespread voter fraud, as these prosecutors found out, is itself a fraud. Firing a prosecutor for failing to find wide voter fraud is like firing a park ranger for failing to find Sasquatch.Ouch.

On twitter the other day, I asked for some article ideas and a friend of mine asked me to analyze the bullpen and lament all of the blown saves. After all, Franklin blew four saves in the first month of the season… take those away and the Cardinals would be right in the thick of the NL Central race, right? Well, not exactly… but it's probably fortunate that Albert is holding the sniper rifle in the picture to the right instead of one of 3 million fans that will walk through Busch Stadium's gates this season.
A quick glimpse at FanGraphs' leader board pages confirms that the Cardinals' 2011 bullpen has been disappointing. Their ERA/FIP/xFIP leave them ranked 18th, 15th, and 17th against all MLB teams respectively.
Their 9th place ranking in SIERA is a little more promising, however. In case you don't know much about the newest ERA estimator, it was originally developed by Matt Swartz and Eric Seidman at Baseball Prospectus. You can read all about it at FanGraphs where it's been made available for free. There's probably not a simple way to explain why it's better than xFIP, but it favors pitchers with higher strikeout rates since they tend to induce weaker contact on balls in play (meaning they allow fewer hits and home runs per fly ball). No doubt, SIERA is a complicated model, but it does account for factors previously ignored by xFIP, and it is slightly more predictive of future performances when dealing with smaller sample sizes, so it warrants mentioning, especially since it views our bullpen in a more favorable light.
Cardinals' relievers have graded out better with this metric because they've been able to rack up strikeouts at a respectable rate. In fact, if they can sustain their 8.12 K/9 rate throughout the rest of the season, it would easily be the highest rate of the LaRussa era. The previous high was 7.51 K/9 in 1999. So while the pen has been underwhelming in many regards, the results could have been worse had this particular group not possessed the ability to strike out hitters. Better yet, their 2.37 K/BB mark is good for 6th best in MLB. It's not all doom and gloom here. Just mostly.
In order to do away with saves and holds that are often awarded in unimportant situations, superior metrics have been developed to gauge bullpen performance. At the oft-cited Tom Tango's Book Blog, spirited discussion and a little math gave way to Shutdowns and Meltdowns. These two statistics don't glorify the "save" since they only award pitchers with a shutdown when they increase their team's odds of winning by .06 WPA (win probability added). Also, all relievers can rack up shutdowns, not just those deemed closer. This eliminates relievers from being awarded for succeeding in relatively easy game situations such as getting three outs in the bottom of the ninth when their team is leading by three runs. One way to evaluate a bullpen's overall performance, then, is to look at their ratio of shutdowns to meltdowns (SD/MD).
Let's take a look at how the Cardinals stack up against the rest of the league. Click on the graph for a larger image. Numbers were gathered on 8/13/11.
Only two teams (Rays and Astros) have been worse in terms of SD/MD ratio (though the Rangers have been just as bad). To break things down a little further, let's take a look at the individual members of the bullpen. Numbers were gathered on 8/16/11. I used full-season stats for the new guys (e.g. Dotel's numbers include his time as a Blue Jay).
Pitcher | Games | Shutdowns | Meltdowns | SD/MD | SD% | MD% |
Salas | 50 | 26 | 7 | 3.71 | 52.00% | 14.00% |
Motte | 56 | 19 | 10 | 1.9 | 33.93% | 17.86% |
Sanchez | 25 | 10 | 5 | 2 | 40.00% | 20.00% |
Batista | 25 | 9 | 6 | 1.5 | 36.00% | 24.00% |
Lynn | 16 | 8 | 0 | 8 | 50.00% | 0.00% |
Boggs | 41 | 6 | 6 | 1 | 14.63% | 14.63% |
McClellan | 8 | 4 | 3 | 1.33 | 50.00% | 37.50% |
Miller | 39 | 3 | 8 | 0.38 | 7.69% | 20.51% |
Dotel | 45 | 10 | 4 | 2.5 | 22.22% | 8.89% |
Rzepczynski | 50 | 11 | 8 | 1.38 | 22.22% | 16.00% |
Valdes | 7 | 1 | 2 | 0.5 | 14.29% | 28.57% |
Augenstein | 5 | 1 | 3 | 0.33 | 20.00% | 60.00% |
Tallet | 18 | 1 | 4 | 0.25 | 5.56% | 22.22% |
Franklin | 21 | 1 | 7 | 0.14 | 4.76% | 33.33% |
Rhodes | 34 | 5 | 8 | 0.63 | 14.71% | 23.53% |
There have been a lot of moving parts this season… and for good reason. Franklin, Miller, Tallet, and Batista were absolutely horrible. Their 25 meltdowns were good for 38.9% of the team's total blow-ups. Even more sobering, the Phillies have only suffered 32 meltdowns all season. The Red Sox? 37. The Yankees? 40.
Last season, our very own Erik Manning had some fun with shutdowns and meltdowns at FanGraphs. He looked at three seasons (2007-2009) worth of data to get a profile of the best and worst relievers. Premier relievers (Marian Rivera, Joe Nathan, and Joakim Soria) had shutdown percentages around 50% to go with very low meltdown percentages (8-12%). Salas has nearly met that standard (of course, I had written this before he suffered another meltdown last night). The next best shutdown percentages belong to Lynn and Sanchez but they've both been bitten by the injury bug, and their timetable for return is unclear.
Beyond those three guys, however, there's a plethora of mediocrity. Out of the new relievers, Dotel has probably had the best season. But at this point in his career, he's well-documented as a right handed pitcher who gets out right handed hitters (otherwise known as a ROOGY). And Rhodes probably isn't much of an upgrade over the other LOOGYs we've endured to date. He's already suffered two meltdowns in his three game appearances.
Some have blamed the rotation for failing to consistently pitch deep into games. There is some logic to this position. Lesser pitchers are in the bullpen for a reason. In general, they weren't good enough to stay starting pitchers. In a sense then, the more innings that are shouldered by a bullpen, the more innings a team is handing over to their inferior pitchers. But then again, three of the four teams with the highest SD/MD ratios (Phillies, Giants, Braves, and Red Sox) have accumulated just as many innings as the Cardinals, so that theory doesn't exactly hold up.
The Cardinals rank near the bottom of the league in UZR. Defense has surely played a part. The metrics seem to like Jon Jay better than Colby Rasmus (2009 aside) in CF. And to say that Rafael Furcal is a better defensive SS than Ryan Theriot is a serious understatement. So defensive improvements have been made, but as long as Berkman is patrolling RF and Schumaker is manning the keystone, adventures will abound.
When you think about it though, even the rose-colored view of the relief corp has wilted… at least for 2011. Yes, this bunch has shown a knack for dialing up hitters at a pace we haven't seen in awhile, but even those peripherals were being propped up by guys now on the disabled list (Sanchez and Lynn).
Honestly, the bullpen was one aspect of the team that concerned me very little coming into 2011. And, at times, it's looked like a competent bunch. They strikeout quite a bit more than they walk (only five teams have been better in that regard). Its right-handers regularly dial up 95-99 mph heat. Its left-handers… are left-handed, and one of them can even supposedly retire opposite handed hitters. But they just haven't been able to find any traction. As soon as answers have emerged from triple-A, injuries have derailed them. Consequently, the bullpen's been in a constant state of flux all season long. And the team has suffered because of it.
As mentioned earlier, the Rangers' bullpen has been similarly ineffective this season, but they're sure to improve with the additions of Mike Adams and Koji Uehara. Adams has a shutdown percentage of 57.89% and meltdown percentage of 12.28% while Uehara's game appearances have featured 38% shutdowns and 6% meltdowns. That'll get it done. The Cardinals' acquisitions, however? Don't be so sure.

Joe D'Ambrosio
Other Ohio Cases with Perjury or False Accusations
Joe D'Ambrosio (Gun Chan, The Plain Dealer)
On September 24, 1988, a jogger found the body of 19-year-old Estel Anthony Klann in Doan's Creek in Cleveland, Ohio. Klann had been stabbed three times in the chest and his throat had been cut.
Three men were charged with the murder: Thomas Michael Keenan, Joe D'Ambrosio and Edward Espinoza.
Espinoza pleaded guilty to manslaughter and testified against Keenan and D'Ambrosio, who were tried separately. In return, Espinoza was sentenced to 15 to 75 years in prison.
D'Ambrosio, 26, went on trial before a three-judge panel in Cuyahoga Common Pleas Court on February 6, 1989.
Paul "Stoney" Lewis testified for the prosecution that on the evening of Friday, September 23, 1988, he and Klann visited a tavern called The Saloon. There, he saw Keenan, a former employee of his, and he and Keenan left in Keenan's truck to another bar called Coconut Joe's. Not long after, Klann, Espinoza and D'Ambrosio arrived at Coconut Joe's.
Lewis testified that Espinoza got into a heated argument with Klann. Lewis said he left the bar alone sometime between 10:45 p.m. and 11:45 p.m.
Espinoza testified that he and D'Ambrosio left the bar about 1:30 a.m. and went to D'Ambrosio's apartment. As they arrived, Keenan drove up. He said Lewis had stolen some drugs from him and asked them to help him find Lewis to get the drugs back.
Espinoza said he armed himself with a baseball bat and that D'Ambrosio picked up a knife. They then began driving around looking for Lewis.
Carolyn Rosel testified that at 3 a.m., she and a friend, James Russell, were awakened by Keenan, Espinoza and D'Ambrosio. They were looking for Lewis and talking about killing Lewis because he had "ripped Keenan off." They said they didn't know where Lewis was.
Espinoza testified that they resumed their search and spotted Klann walking along the road. He said Keenan forced Klann into the back seat of the truck and they began interrogating him about Lewis. When Klann professed ignorance, Espinoza hit him in the head with the bat.
Klann then provided Lewis's address and they drove to the apartment building. Residents said they were awakened around 3:30 a.m. by Keenan and Espinoza pounding on a door, shouting "I want my dope" or "my coke."
One resident, Adam Flanik, testified that he opened his door and told them they were at the wrong door. After Flanik directed them to Lewis's apartment, they kicked in the door, but Lewis was not there.
Flanik said he looked outside and saw D'Ambrosio pointing a knife at Klann's face.
According to Espinoza, the men returned to Rosel's home where they told Russell to "tell Stoney we got a contract out on him" and that they had Klann in the truck and that he was "dead meat." Rosel testified that Espinoza said they were "going to do him in, and drop him off."
Espinoza testified that Keenan drove to Doan's Creek, where they began interrogating Klann again. When Klann again said he did not know anything, Keenan took D'Ambrosio's knife, cut Klann's throat and pushed him into the creek.
According to Espinoza, Klann got up and began to run. Keenan said, "Finish him off" and D'Ambrosio took off after Klann. Within a minute or two, Espinoza said, Klann screamed, "Please don't kill me." Then D'Ambrosio killed him, Espinoza said.
Although no weapon was recovered, prosecutors introduced a knife that they argued was similar to the one that D'Ambrosio used.
The trial court sealed its verdict on February 9, 1989, pending the culmination of Keenan's trial which began immediately after. On February 21, 1989, after Keenan was convicted, D'Ambrosio's verdict of guilty was announced. Both were sentenced to death.
Keenan's conviction and death sentence were overturned in 1993 when the Ohio Supreme Court found that the trial prosecutor, Carmen Marino, who also tried the case against D'Ambrosio, had committed misconduct. The court found that Marino engaged in improper closing argument by unfairly disparaging the defense and Keenan's friends, stabbing a large knife into counsel table and calling Keenan an "animal." Keenan was later retried, convicted and again sentenced to death.
After D'Ambrosio lost his appeal and a post-conviction petition was denied, Neil Kookoothe, a Catholic priest who had counseled two men on Death Row who were executed, took a look at D'Ambrosio's case and discovered that Klann suspected that "Stoney" Lewis had sexually assaulted another man named Christopher Longenecker. Kookoothe read D'Ambrosio's file and discovered that Longenecker had told police that he suspected Lewis killed Klann. Kookoothe shared the information with D'Ambrosio's lawyers who subsequently filed a federal petition for a writ of habeas corpus in 2000.
On December 2, 2002, U.S. District Judge Kathleen McDonald O'Malley ordered the Cuyahoga County District Attorney's Office and the coroner, as well as Cleveland police to produce all documents in their possession relating to the case.
In the documents, D'Ambrosio's lawyers found evidence never seen by the defense. In July 2004, at an evidentiary hearing, they presented the following items of evidence—none of which had been provided to the defense before D'Ambrosio's trial:
• Two former Cleveland police detectives testified that because no grass or weeds were disturbed in the area where Klann's body was found, they believed he had been killed elsewhere and dumped in the creek.
• Longenecker testified he and Klann were roommates. He said that "Stoney" Lewis raped him shortly before Klann was killed. He said that almost immediately after the rape occurred, Klann came to the apartment. Although he did not tell Klann was happened, he said he was clearly distraught and that he told Klann that "something had just happened." Lewis was charged with the rape, but because Longenecker was legally blind, he misread the court date and did not appear, resulting in the dismissal of the charge. After hearing of Klann's murder, Longenecker called police to say that he believed Klann had been killed because he was likely aware of the rape.
• Records showing that at one time police had an audio recording of a statement from a man named Angelo Crimini, who implicated others in the murder.
• Steven Gaines, the manager of Coconut Joe's, testified that he recalled Espinoza and Klann fighting in the bar and recalled it was "Tequila Night," which always was on a Thursday—not Friday as Espinoza had testified. Gaines said he called police after Espinoza threw a beer bottle.
In other testimony at the hearing, D'Ambrosio's lawyer at trial said that during a pre-trial conference with Marino, he was not allowed to see police reports. He was allowed to take notes as Marino read selected portions.
Several witnesses testified that at the time of the murder, Klann was selling cocaine for Keenan and they had quarreled because Keenan wanted to pay a debt to Klann with cocaine while Klann demanded cash.
Other witnesses testified that on the night of September 23, 1988, D'Ambrosio was not at Coconut Joe's, but instead was hosting a party at his apartment because he was being evicted. One witness, who was pregnant and not drinking, recalled D'Ambrosio passed out on his bed.
On March 24, 2006, Judge O'Malley granted the writ because of the failure to turn over exculpatory evidence. His conviction was vacated and a new trial was ordered.
On June 5, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed the ruling, saying that the withheld evidence "would have substantially increased a reasonable juror's doubt of D'Ambrosio's guilt."
The court said the evidence not only "contradicted or weakened" the testimony of Espinoza, the prosecution's only eyewitness, but also demonstrated a motive for Lewis to kill Klann.
In February, 2009, the prosecution disclosed that it physically possessed evidence slides containing biological evidence from the victim that could be used for DNA testing, blood evidence from D'Ambrosio's apartment, soil samples from the bank of Doan's Creek that had tested negative for blood and soil samples taken from the back of Keenan's truck. The prosecution then filed a motion seeking to extend the deadline to bring D'Ambrosio to trial. The defense responded by requesting that the prosecution be barred from retrying the case.
On April 27, 2009, O'Malley refused to extend the deadline and ordered that D'Ambrosio be released from custody. The judge also ordered that D'Ambrosio's conviction and sentence be expunged because of the prosecution's repeated failure to turn over evidence. However, she did not bar the prosecution from retrying D'Ambrosio.
Meanwhile, Espinoza, who had been released after serving 12 years, died in a Chicago suburb on April 26—one day before the judge said she would not bar a re-trial. Prosecutors waited until late July 2009 to inform D'Ambrosio's lawyers, who then renewed their motion to bar a retrial. They argued a trial would be unfair because they would be unable to cross-examine Espinoza with the newly discovered evidence.
On March 3, 2010, O'Malley granted the defense motion to bar a retrial. The Sixth Circuit Appeals Court affirmed the ruling in 2011 and on January 23, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition for a writ of certiorari.
In January 2013, a judge ruled that D'Ambrosio could seek up to $1 million in state compensation. That ruling was later overturned by the Ohio Supreme Court. D'Ambrosio also filed a federal lawsuit seeking damages, but the lawsuit was dismissed.

Electronic Arts' studio based in the North West of England is to close.
The closure will affect the jobs of around 50 developers - although all have been offered the chance to relocate their roles to EA's current UK development HQ in Chertsey.Explained spokesperson Tiffany Steckler: "It's very much our genuine desire that everyone has the chance to take their job to our Chertsey or Guildford studios."
Steckler also explained that the motivating factor for the studio closure - exact details of which will be worked out as production winds down - was a creative one as EA UK Studios strives to unify and reinforce its development staff.
EA Warrington had most recently worked on Battlefield: Modern Combat.
It's not the first shake-up EA UK has seen of late - just last week the publisher's Geneva offices officially opened, with a number of key publishing staff making the move from the UK to the new Switzerland offices.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Carrigay Early OriginsThe surname Carrigay was first found in Ayrshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Inbhir Àir), formerly a county in the southwestern Strathclyde region of Scotland, that today makes up the Council Areas of South, East, and North Ayrshire, and were known as 'the men of Carrick'. Duncan de Carrick (died 1250) was made the Mormaer (Earl) of Carrick by Scottish King Alexander I in 1186. He was a direct ancestor Robert the Bruce (Robert I), King of the Scots 1274-1329. Carrigay Spelling VariationsCarrigay Spelling VariationsThe origin of rules governing the spelling of names and even words is a very recent innovation. Before that, words and names were spelled according to sound, and, therefore, often appeared under several different spelling variations in a single document. Carrigay has been spelled Carrick, Carick, Carich, Carrich, Karryck, Karrik, Karrick, Kerrich, Kerrick, Carrig, Carrigy, McCarrigy and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationThe persecution faced in their homeland left many Scots with little to do but sail for the colonies of North Ameri ca. There they found land, freedom, opportunity, and nations in the making. They fought for their freedom in the American War of Independence, or traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In both cases, they made enormous contributions to the formation of those great nations. Among them: Richard Carrick, who arrived in Virginia in 1650; Roger Carrick, who came to Virginia in 1672; Christian Carrick, a bonded passenger, who came to America in 1758.
