US DOJ Charges White Suspect, 27 Year Old Conrad Alvin Barrett, for "Knockout Game" Targeting 79 Year Old Black Man in Texas
The President Barack Obama/Attorney General Eric Holder US Department of Justice is finally going to charge an individual in connection with the "Knockout" game with a hate crime … of course the punk suspect is white.
The DOJ for the the southern district of Texas has arrested and charged 27 year old Conrad Alvin Barrett with a "hate crime" in connection with the "knockout game" assault of a 79 year old man. According to reports, Barrett recorded himself on his cellphone attacking the 79 year old man, laughing and saying "Knockout" as he ran away. Might this be a hate crime? Yes, it may just be, but what is ridiculous and borders on pathetic is the fact that an overwhelming majority of this sick "knockout game" epidemic has been black on white crime and any mention of a "hate crime" is taboo. Personally, its pretty sick for a 27 year old to break the jaw of an elderly, frail man no matter who is what color.
However, in this administration it appears that color always does matter. As the Jawa Report opines, so what makes this case so unique that the DOJ would finally charge one of these punks with a "hate crime," why the victim is black.
Federal authorities said Thursday they have arrested and charged a Texas man in connection with the "knockout game," accusing him of a hate crime for targeting a black man for a vicious street attack.
Most knockout victims that have appeared in news reports have been white, but the Justice Department said in this instance the victim was a 79-year-old black man, and stepped in with federal charges.
"Suspected crimes of this nature will simply not be tolerated," said Kenneth Magidson, the U.S. attorney for the southern district of Texas. "Evidence of hate crimes will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted with the assistance of all our partners to the fullest extent of the law."
The Justice Department said it filed a criminal complaint against 27-year-old Conrad Alvin Barrett on Tuesday and arrested him on Thursday.
According to Justice officials, Mr. Barrett recorded himself on his cellphone attacking the 79-year-old man, laughing and saying "Knockout" as he runs away.
The 79-year-old man had his jaw broken in the Nov. 24 attack.
No one is saying that this assault probably was not a hate crime as the suspect said and did some pretty incriminating things. The issue is, why aren't assaults with regards to the knockout game when it is black on white considered a hate crime? It is just another case of the Obama administration causing strife amongst the races.
Investigators say they only found out about the case because Barrett was showing off the video at a bar in Fulshear the night of the attack. He allegedly showed it to an off-duty police officer he'd just met.
On his phone, authorities found not only the video of the attack but 10 others, including one where Barrett allegedly says, "The plan is to see if I were to hit a black person, would this be nationally televised?"
He also makes derogatory statements toward African Americans, including one video in which he says that they "haven't fully experienced the blessing of evolution."
In his defense, Barrett's attorney, George Parnham, says his client has severe mental health issues, that he's bi-polar and on heavy medication.

AMBER ALERT & Missing Children Not Considered Essential by Eric Holder and Barack Obama … Amber Alert Victim of Government Shutdown
WAR ON MISSING CHILDREN … So Democrats claim they care about the children, eh? Everyone might want to rethink that one.
Talk about offensive and unthinkable, the government web site AMBER ALERT. gov is down. The message on the web site reads, ""Due to the lapse in federal funding, this Office of Justice Programs (OJP) website is unavailable." Thanks to the government shut down and Attorney General Eric Holder not deeming the Amber Alert program to be considered essential and funded. Talk about irresponsible and despicable. But this is just another way Obama and his minions want to try and inflict as much pain as they can upon the American people. Talk about a divider and community agitator.
It is unbelievable that the Obama White House would endanger the American public to score political points. Missing children be damned … how is it possible that the Obama administration does not consider missing and abducted children and essential part of day to day life? With 87% of the federal government actually open during the so-called shut down, how is it that the Amber Alert is part of the 13% closed? Everyone might want to remember this the next time Obama claims he cares about the children.
Instead of showing critical missing children bulletins, the federal Amber Alert website on Sunday displayed a sparse, white screen with a simple message: It's a victim of the government shutdown.
"Due to the lapse in federal funding, this Office of Justice Programs (OJP) website is unavailable," the message reads, just below a U.S. Department of Justice seal.
The website normally displays urgent alerts from across the nation about the most at-risk missing children, helping to connect citizens and law enforcement across all participating jurisdictions.
As reported at the Gateway Pundit, the government thought it more important to keep Let's Move Website: up and running than the Amber Alert one, UNREAL!!!
HATE CRIME: Ginger Slepski Brutally Beaten by Four Black Teens in North Side of Pittsburgh, PA Says Attack Was 'Racially Motivated' … 'Shut up White Bitch'
A note to President Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NAACP and Attorney General Eric Holder … the following is what would be considered a racially motivated hate crime …
As reported at WPXI, Ginger Slepski was brutally attacked by a group of black female teens after Slepski stopped her vehicle to confront the girls after they had thrown a bottle at her car. When Ginger Slepski got out of her vehicle she was brutally attacked by the teens as they yelled at Slepski, "Shut up white bitch." The other said, "Get that white bitch." According to Slepski, she tried to get back into her car, but they grabbed her by her hair. Then one of the attackers punched her in the head and I was on a set of concrete steps and my head hit the concrete so hard. Then Slepski said, "Then they all got on top of me and all their hands were in my hair. They kept telling each other to, 'Kick her in the head. Kick her head in the concrete."
Hmm, where is the MSM demanding justice?
A woman who said she was brutally attacked by a group of black teenagers in Pittsburgh's North Side Sunday said the girls savagely beat her while calling her racial slurs.
Ginger Slepski said she suffered multiple injuries, including torn shoulder ligaments. She said she thought the girls were going to kill her.
"I thought it was so animalistic. So violent. I'm so afraid for these girls to get out and walk the streets," Slepski said.
Police said Slepski was savagely beaten after the girls threw a bottle at her car on Concord Street and she stopped to confront them.
"I was mad. I knew they were younger. I thought they were in their early 20s. I got out and said, 'What is your problem?'" Slepski said.
All four African-American girls then called her names before getting physically violent.
"They yelled, 'Shut up white [expletive].' The other said, 'Get that white [expletive],'" Slepski said.
Paging Attorney General Eric Holder. What a joke that Holder would actually contemplate civil rights and hate crime charges against George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Marin where there was no racial motivation, but in a case like the above attack where there is an obvious racial component, all we hear from Holder is the sound of crickets. Maybe Holder should be charged with a hate crime for his bias in determining what is and is not a hate crime depending on the color of one's skin who is the attacker.
Well here's an easy case, Eric. It won't be too hard to prove a violation of 18 USC 249 or 18 USC 245 in this context. No outrageous self-defense defenses here.
But like in all the other similar cases you refuse to prosecute, the victim here wasn't one of "your people." Ginger's parents didn't endure the sort of garbage that your wife's parents did down south. So she isn't entitled to equal protection of the law, right?
Make no mistake, Ginger isn't the only victim who won't get justice from Justice just because of her race. Neither will the parents who were beaten at the Wisconsin State Fair. Nor will the parents in Ohio who saw thugs come on their lawn shouting racial slurs before they beat them.
Oh yeah, ans as The Other McCain reminds us, what say you Eric Holder about the "hate" speech coming from DHS Employs Deranged Race Warrior Ayo Kimathi who has only been placed on administrative leave with pay? Huh?

Ted Nugent Says, 'Trayvon Got Justice,' as Anti-American Libs Try to Stop Free Speech … Calls Petitioners "Idiots" and "Subhuman Numbnuts" & Calls Out Barack Obama and Eric Holder
Whether you love him or hate him, Ted Nugent, the Motor City Madman rocker is allowed his "free speech" as afforded by the United States Constitution.
During an interview with Maine radio station WGAN, Nugent defended his recent comments regarding Trayvon Martin, blacks and crime and those that think that he should not play rock and roll in Connecticut were "idiots". Those that have an issue with the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution have started a petition to prevent Nugent from performing at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT. Really folks, this is how you direct your energies? Nugent called a group of petitioners who want his August gig at the nightclub Toad's Place in New Haven canceled "subhuman numbnuts." I guess it is safe to say that none of the "numbnuts" will be attending his concert. These same "idiots" are the ones who are claiming that "Justice for Trayvon" and wanting to get Attorney General Eric Holder and the DOJ to file a Civil Rights case against George Zimmerman. Oh the irony, as at the same time the collective "idiots" are trying to take away Ted Nugent's freedom of speech. What a shock that there is a liberal double standard.
Ted Nugent stated that "Trayvon Martin got justice". Personally, I think this is a poor choice of words because of how individuals define justice. What Trayvon Martin got was his day in court. Initially that is what Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Martin's parents and the liberal MSM wanted when they made this story a race issue and forced Florida to try the death of Trayvon after prosecutors in Sanford. FL had decided not to. But that is not what they really wanted, they wanted their pound of flesh from George Zimmerman. They were only after a guilty verdict no matter what the evidence showed. They could not accept a jury's "not guilty" verdict in the case and now are seeking other avenues of going after Zimmerman. As if this case has not been exploited enough.
Ted Nugent expresses his views as only the 'Motor City Madman' can …
When asked about the "idiots" in Connecticut who think he "shouldn't play rock and roll," Nugent told the conservative host: "You and I stand on the line of reason" and must not be silenced.
"People who hate Ted Nugent hate freedom," he said, and promised to continue to speak what he sees as the truth.
Nugent also had some choice things to say about liberals, racial activists and Trayvon Martin during the interview.
Defending his previous comments about blacks and crime, Nugent insisted the statistics bear him out.
Of the Trayvon Martin case, Nugent said, "Trayvon got justice." He went on to say that Martin was a "gangsta wannabe" who had a "bloodthirst," as evidenced by the fact that he was supposedly eager to "get into fights with people." He said Martin showed racism in calling George Zimmerman a "cracka."
Ted Nugent went on to say …
Nugent said Zimmerman got only a "sliver of justice." Although Zimmerman was found not guilty, powerful people from President Barack Obama to Attorney General Eric Holder have targeted him, as have "Holder's best friends," the New Black Panthers. Nugent implied the president and Holder are trying to subvert the legitimate verdict in the case.
"It pains me deeply" to have to acknowledge that the president and some others in the administration are "just bad people," Nugent said. He said he had hoped to be able to speak better of the country's top officials.
DOJ & Eric Holder Puts 'Hold' on Trayvon Martin Trial Evidence, Including George Zimmerman's Gun … Eventhough Florida Law Says it Must Be Returned
The DOJ, Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama are going to play the race card until the end.
In a sign that the Obama Administration is not going to let this go and continue to fan the flames of racism and make promises that they cannot deliver on, the Department of Justice placed an evidence hold on the George Zimmerman murder trial evidence and most notably the gun that was used in the "self-defense" shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted of murder and manslaughter by a jury of his peers and was found "not guilty" last week. So why can't George Zimmerman be given his gun back? According to Florida state law, he has committed no crime, has a permit to carry and should be entitled to his property back. On top of that, if the DOJ ever decided to bring a case against Zimmerman, one in which they have no, none, nil, nada evidence that Zimmerman ever acted in a racist manner, the DOJ would be charging him with violating Trayvon Martin's civil rights, not causing his death. So for what purpose would the gun be needed? Only a meager 21% actually believe that the DOJ should charge George Zimmerman with a hate crime.
Ok Eric, Let's Tea Party Zimmerman …
The U.S. Department of Justice, overseen by Attorney General Eric Holder, has ordered the Sanford, Florida police department to keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial – including the exonerated neighborhood watch volunteer's gun.
Sanford police confirmed on Thursday that the DOJ asked the agency not to return any pieces of evidence to their owners. Zimmerman was expected to get his firearm back by month's end.
The development is a sign that the criminal section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is seriously investigating Zimmerman to determine if federal civil rights charges should be filed.
WESH-TV in Orlando reported Thursday afternoon that police had confirmed the evidence 'hold,' meaning that everything related to the trial, from Zimmerman's gun to the Skittles and iced tea Martin was carrying when the pair's altercation began, will remain in the hands of law enforcement.
So why keep Zimmerman's gun? It just seems like more vindictive actions that this administration has been known for. Protein Wisdom makes a great comparison in saying that they believe that the DOJ will never charge Zimmerman; however, it reeks of the IRS holding up Tea Party and conservative groups non-profit applications whereas a hold and "other enemies of the Obama regime tied up for months in outrageous red tape, so the Justice Department can drag Zimmerman and his family through months of harassment until they say "Oh, never-mind." Amen brother.
In the wake of the not guilty jury verdict, many irresponsible black leaders, athletes, celebrities, politicians and twitter cowards have made threats against George Zimmerman and his family. Now more than ever, Zimmerman probably needs that gun for protection. Just curious, what happens if something bad happens to George Zimmerman after all this hysteria has been ginned up by the so-called Civil Rights leaders of our times? Will Eric Holder and the DOJ have blood on their hands?
ACLU Files Lawsuit Challenging NSA's Patriot Act Phone Surveillance Against We the People … Violates Americans' Constitutional Rights of Free Speech, Association & Privacy
Once again we are witness to a government that has become just too big.
As reported at the New York Times, the ACLU has filed a aw suit against the federal government challenging the NSA's phone surveillance against "We the People". In an interesting twist, the left leaning ACLU has filed a law suit against the far-Left Obama administration over the collection of logs of domestic phone calls of all Americans where they were the target of an investigation or suspected of terrorism or not. The law suit names Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, NSA Director Keith Alexander, Attorney General Eric Holder, Defense Secretary Charles Hagel and FBI Director Robert Mueller III as defendants. It is pretty bad when the ACLU is forced to sue the Obama administration over such an issue, or face a complete lack of credibility.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the Obama administration on Tuesday over its "dragnet" collection of logs of domestic phone calls, contending that the once-secret program — whose existence was exposed last week by a former National Security Agency contractor — is illegal and asking a judge to stop it and order the records purged.
The lawsuit could set up an eventual Supreme Court test. It could also focus attention on this disclosure amid the larger heap of top secret surveillance matters revealed by Edward J. Snowden, the former N.S.A. contractor who came forward Sunday to say he was their source.
I have personally disagreed with many actions in the past and inactions by the ACLU, who is supposed to defend all Americans civil liberties. However, I have to give them credit here. The ACLU filed a law suit charging that the program violates Americans' constitutional rights of free speech, association, and privacy. It is troubling that the US government thinks that it can just sweep up all data without any cause of legal search and seizure. It is even more eye opening that Barack Obama when he was Senator and candidate Obama ridiculed and vilified this program. When he became president, the program went on steroids.
In the wake of the past week's revelations about the NSA's unprecedented mass surveillance of phone calls, today the ACLU filed a lawsuit charging that the program violates Americans' constitutional rights of free speech, association, and privacy.
This lawsuit comes a day after we submitted a motion to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) seeking the release of secret court opinions on the Patriot Act's Section 215, which has been interpreted to authorize this warrantless and suspicionless collection of phone records. [...]
The ACLU's complaint filed today explains that the dragnet surveillance the government is carrying out under Section 215 infringes upon the ACLU's First Amendment rights, including the twin liberties of free expression and free association. The nature of the ACLU's work—in areas like access to reproductive services, racial discrimination, the rights of immigrants, national security, and more—means that many of the people who call the ACLU wish to keep their contact with the organization confidential. Yet if the government is collecting a vast trove of ACLU phone records—and it has reportedly been doing so for as long as seven years—many people may reasonably think twice before communicating with us.
Legal Insurrection reminds us that this was not the first law suit filed when it comes to the NSA data dragnet, Larry Klayman, former chairman of 'Judicial Watch' filed one as well.
On Sunday, a similar suit was filed by Larry Klayman, former chairman of Judicial Watch, against President Obama, Eric Holder, Keith Alexander, the NSA and Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam, among others. The suit claims that the government's phone surveillance activities "violates the U.S. Constitution and also federal laws, including, but not limited to, the outrageous breach of privacy, freedom of speech, freedom of association, and the due process rights of American citizens."
Judge Jeanine Pirro Takes on the IRS, NSA, FBI, Benghazi & Susan Rice, From 6/8/13 … Our Founding Fathers Would Not Recognize the America of Today
Judge Jeanine Pirro shreds the IRS, the NSA, FBI, Susan Rice, terrorism and much, much more.
As Judge Jeanine Pirro of 'Justice with Jeanine Pirro' stated, Our Founding Fathers would not recognize the America of today. Judge Jeanine Pirro just shreds the IRS, their scandal of targeting conservatives or anyone who has politican dissent against Obama and the extravagant and wasteful spending of tax payers money. Pirro then goes on her rant … "These bozo's are not even sure how much was spent on the conference because they did not keep the receipts. And they're sorry. There lies the double standard and hypocrisy. As Judge Jeanine opines, "Really? When was the last time the IRS told the target of an audit deducting a business expense for which there was no receipt …no record, no problem bro, we'll over look it. And don't tell me you can't fire these people. Is it just too much trouble, or do they know too much? Can they point higher than themselves?"
Following that Pirro then goes on to question the NSA and FBI for their collection of all the data of Americans to supposedly protect us from terrorist. Pirro was on a roll on this one. At what point is the U.S. Constitution adhered to when it comes to the surveillance of Americans? If it is needed to collect all this data, how come you could not stop the Boston Marathon bombing? America's trust in government is at an all-time low. Has our Constitution been so damaged that it and our America is beyond repair? This is a must see video.
President Barack Obama Sounding an Awful Lot Like Richard Nixon (VIDEO) … " I First Learned of it from News Reports".
Hmm, President Barack Hussein Obama is sounding an awful lot like Richard Milhous Nixon these days. The video below by Reveal Politics has side by side Obama – Nixon sound bytes and it sounds like they are separated at birth. Even CBS's Bob Sheiffer of 'Face the Nation' stated to White House advisor Dan Pffeiffer, this is exactly the approach that Nixon took during Watergate. Nixon had Watergate, but Barack Obama is juggling three scandals, or is it four, at the same time and doesn't have an answer for any of them. For those that refuse to compare Obama's scandals to Watergate, what's the difference? Both attacked political opposition, both used the IRS to intimidate, harass, and affect political outcomes. Both used the powers of the government against their political enemies, heck and even friends in the MSM. Oh, there was one difference … no one was left behind in Benghazi to die as they begged for help.
Remember how Democrats reacted when Nixon was caught in one scandal? But of course there is a double standard for Obama. Sorry, one scandal might be explainable. Two, makes one start to raise their eye brow. Three, is a very troubling trend and four, we begin to use the "I" word. The LEFT is losing their collective minds that their Obamamessiah, the president of 'Hope and Change' is nothing more than Richard Nixon with a "D".
Good Grief, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is a Bumbling Disgrace, Fox News Ed Henry Rips Him on Eric Holder's Lies Under Oath to Congress
Today was the 4th of July come early as fireworks flew at the White House. Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry White House
spokesman spin doctor Jay Carney went at it like cats and dogs today during the White House press conference discussing Attorney General Eric Holder's lies under oath. CBS reported, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday expressing "great concern" about the possibility that Holder lied under oath during his testimony earlier this month on the Justice Department's seizing of journalists' records. With three scandals going on simultaneously, it's only a matter of time before some one takes the fall. The Obama administration has to do something to stop the political bleeding. The fact that Obama appointed Eric Holder to investigate Eric Holder only added fuel to the fire and made a complicit MSM raise an eye brow. Carney would say, "I don't see the conflict". Dude really? Stevie Wonder can see the conflict. It is hard to imagine this does not end with a Holder resignation.
Transcript from The Gateway Pundit:
Ed Henry: Was he not telling the truth at that point? He was involved in it.
Jay Carney: Involved in what?
Ed Henry: He signed off on the search warrant!… Are you not involved after you sign off on a search warrant?
Jay Carney: Again, I'll refer you to the Justice Department. You guys are complaining that the subpoena with prosecution. Again… I would just point you to what the Attorney General said.
Major Garret: But is this a technical inaccuracy you're holding onto?
Jay Carney: I'm not. I'm saying based on what I've seen in published reports and what the Attorney General said, I don't see the conflict.
From CBS News, the White House defended Holder on Wednesday, with press secretary Jay Carney saying it was "self-evident" that Holder told the truth. "I think based on what he said, he testified truthfully," Carney said. "The attorney general talked about prosecution," he explained, while the case in question was completed with no further charges or prosecution slated. The truth? Carney, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!! If Obama and his minions think that they are going to get away with parsing words and "it all dependes on what is, is" they are going to go down hard and the Democrat party in tow.
On May 15, Holder told the committee he wasn't involved in "the potential prosecution" of a member of the press under the Espionage Act for disclosing classified information. "This is not something I've ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy," he said.
Shortly thereafter, reports began to surface that the Justice Department, in addition to seizing telephone and email records of Associated Press reporters, had seized the the emails and phone records of Fox News correspondent James Rosen. While Holder had recused himself from the AP proceedings, the Washington Post reported that the attorney general had personally signed off on the search warrant for Rosen's records.
In the search warrant, the FBI called Rosen a "criminal co-conspirator" and suggested there's probable cause that he violated federal law. Rosen was not charged with any crime.

Krauthammer Says Holder's Going to Have to Go Because He's a Liability to the President … Obama May Have to Get a Second Bus
Can Barack Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder survive? From the Most Transparent White House Ever …
Not according to syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer, who last night stated on 'The O'Reilly Factor,' I think Holder is going to have to go because he is a liability to the President. Its all about the president. Its all about whether there is space under the bus." Krauthammer thinks Holder is toast. Of course this is the same Holder that has been responsible for past scandals like Fast & Furious, the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case, and now the AP and Fox News Rosen debacle. It is hard to believe that Holder can survive this. And when that happens, the Obama administration admits as Joe Biden is so famous for saying … "Its a big F'n deal".
"Holder's going to have to go because he's a liability to the president. It's all about the president.
It's all about is there space under the bus. So there are a lot of people. He may have to get a second bus.
Remember Obama says he trusts Holder 100%. And now he learns that he did not say they truth."
Video Hat Tip – The Gateway Pundit
The Hill is reporting that, The House Judiciary Committee is investigating whether Attorney General Eric Holder lied under oath during his May 15 testimony on the Justice Department's (DOJ) surveillance of reporters. It would appear that the House does not trust Eric Holder investigating, Eric Holder. Which is exactly what Barack Obama ordered Holder to do in the wake of the AP/Rosen scandal. How did he not lie under oath?
The panel is looking at a statement Holder made during a back-and-forth with Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) about whether the DOJ could prosecute reporters under the Espionage Act of 1917, an aide close to the matter told The Hill.
"In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material — this is not something I've ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy," Holder said during the hearing.
However, NBC News reported the following week that Holder personally approved a search warrant that labeled Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen a co-conspirator in a national security leaks case.
The panel is investigating whether NBC's report contradicts Holder's claim that he had not looked into or been involved with a possible prosecution of the press in a leaks case.
PJ Tatler had a caption contest on whether Holder should resign. We added this link as it plays right into the vision of "Scared Monkeys" … the #2 was 'Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Also known as the Helen Keller Defense of tyranny'.

Driver SafetyShare
Here are some important tips and information for RAGBRAI Support Vehicle Drivers:
- Be sure to read all available information from the Iowa Department of Transportation regarding operating buses, trucks and motor homes in Iowa. www.iamvd.com/omve/busasmotorhome.pdf
- Attend the RAGBRAI Support Vehicle Drivers Meeting at 4:00 p.m. during the RAGBRAI Expo on the opening Saturday, before RAGBRAI starts.
- Stay off the bicycle route. Support vehicles will have a different route to the next overnight town. Follow the RAGBRAI Support Vehicle Maps, do not create your own. GPS, MapQuest and State Maps are great tools, but you should follow the RAGBRAI Support Vehicle Map. GPS systems might guide you on roads that have bridges out or that are closed for RAGBRAI routing. The Support Vehicle Map will keep you away from the bike route and will guide you on a path that is suitable for all vehicles. The Support Vehicle Route is also supported, in case you have mechanical troubles.
- Participating in RAGBRAI as a support vehicle driver could be addictive. (You may catch the RAGBRAI bug like everyone else.
- Make sure you check in with the Information Center at every overnight town. This helps your group find out where you're camping, and also gives the Information Center your location in case of emergencies.
- Please be courteous. You are a guest in the community and should act like one. Please keep in mind that the people helping you in these towns are volunteers!
- Turn your generators off when they're not needed. It is hard to enjoy the great outdoors with the fumes and noise of multiple generators.
- Be patient. There will be lines everywhere you go, even when you're driving.
- Be careful. When driving a large straight truck or pulling a trailer, be especially aware of what or who is behind or beside your vehicle.
- Overhead clearance is critical. Remember, you may have a bike rack on top of your vehicle that could hit tree branches or signs.
- Share. You are sharing camping sites with more than 10,000 bikers. Give everyone his/her space.
- Be neat. Encourage your group to pick up after themselves. Have garbage bags on hand for trash. Before you leave in the morning, walk your area. You'll find the misplaced billfold, watch, sunglasses and bike computer. Your group will appreciate your efforts.
- Always buckle up and don't drink alcoholic beverages if you're going to be driving.
- Make sure you're getting plenty of rest the night before driving so you stay sharp. Drowsiness can lead to becoming distracted and inattentive.
Have a safe and fun trip!

We haven't really been doing much since we got here, just chilling out ready for the next bit. We went to the National Funeral Museum for something to do but it smelt weird so we didn't stay long.
On Saturday night Clare and Matt got a babysitter and we all went out to the Gingerman, the original of Graham's favorite bar in New York, then afterwards we stopped at the worlds biggest supermarket for snacks.
We had a BBQ on Sunday with some of Clare and Matt's friends but we started drinking at 2pm which meant we were all in bed by about 10pm. Rock on.
We babysat that night so Clare and Matt could go out, we drank far too much money in New Orleans so need to save a bit of cash. Oh and Graham and I have had our first and probably last experience of changing a nappy, I mean last cause after that I'm put off having kids for life.
On our last day here Matt took us to find the Mexican Tourism Office to get our tourist cards in advance of the hideous and possibly dangerous journey to Mexico City... advise to all, there is no Mexican Tourist Office at 5075 Westheimer. Total waste of time, so the stress levels are back up and I'm wishing I'd remembered the Valium.
When we got back Matt found a Brown Recluse spider behind the TV, can't tell you how much I want that Valium. Will have to get drunk instead.

Posts tagged: Quote of the Day
Good morning, Netizens…
In this picture, (June 21, 2009
AP Photo/Markus Schreiber) an Iranian woman living in Germany weeps during a protest against the
results of the Presidential elections in Iran and post election
violence, in Berlin, Germany, Sunday. Which brings us to our quote of the day:
In politics you must always keep running with the pack. The moment that you falter and they sense that you are injured, the rest will turn on you like wolves.
R. A. Butler (1902 - 1982)
Good morning, Netizens…
I am wandering a bit afield here for today's quote of the day, as I could not help but wonder how it would sit with each of you.
"I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did, at 22, (because) I would have been much more in touch with myself. To me, that's a health regret." (Brooke Shields, attributed to People Magazine)
Now mind you, I am in what some call the mid-60's of life, and having lived a long and very colorful life, I hereby admit remembering the location and time when I lost my virginity at the International Odd Fellows Old Folks Home residents hall at the ripe of age of 21.
Do you remember losing your virginity, or is that even a charged issue for you today? Do you have any regrets, like Brooke Shields obviously does? Or, if you could relive that part of your lives, would you wait or hurry?
We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it.
Dave Barry (1947 - )
Good morning, Netizens…
The quote of the day comes from British writer Clive Barnes, who is frequently cited as thus:
Television is the first truly democratic culture — the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want.
Clive Barnes
Now that is a question which keeps poll-takers up late at nights, scratching their heads, manipulating numbers and attempting to project which television shows will "work" next season.
More than anything else, television shapes our news habits, for as several world-reknown journalists have observed, you can get a television viewers to sit vapidly in front of the Tube watching all the news of the day in half-hour segments with the clicker in their hands, but you cannot get them to read a morning newspaper.
Why is that, do you think?
Is it literacy or the lack thereof? Does television news give you something you cannot get from subscribing to and reading the morning paper? Is it the cost factor, that you never sense the cost of cable TV lurking behind the scenes when you are watching Randy Shaw, but you have to pay the Spokesman for reading the news?
Or, as Clive Barnes put it so eloquently, are the essentials which people have come to expect from television more terrifying than most would believe?
Good afternoon, Netizens…
The quote of the day perhaps has even greater meaning than perhaps its author might have foreseen.
Quote of the Day April 23, 2009
The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan (1911 – 2004)
With no offense intended to the author of Reaganomics, we have seen a few horrible changes to our national economy which mandates we add a few additions to how government views our national economy.
One: If you cannot solve the problem, by all means throw money at it. Money cures everything, right?
Two: If you are going to subsidize the United Auto Workers by financially underwriting GM, Chrysler and Ford, ignore how well their respective automobiles are selling. Obviously once things improve, Americans will begin buying new cars. Well, maybe.
Three: (Brightening) Look at the medical sector of the American economy. It continues unabated to grow each year. Ignore those comments that suggest the average American can no longer afford medical care nor insurance. Once things improve, Americans will begin buying insurance and everything will be good once more.
Four: Our nation's economy will get better. (The choir chimes in with a heart-felt "Yeah, sure!" as the descent into an unknown future continues.
I wonder what Ronald Reagan would do if faced with similar circumstances? Anyone have any ideas?
Good morning, Netizens…
Somehow Barack Obama has already made it into the database that powers Quote of the Day, which comes as no surprise to me, given how "quotable" he has become before, during and since his ascendancy to the Presidency of the United States. So, without further ado, I'll quote his words, wondering what people will say about him after his first term in office.
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to
build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there
in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more
hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a
people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree
with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the
government can't solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will
listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you
to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done
in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand
by calloused hand.
Barack Obama (1961 - ), Election Night Speech in Chicago, 11-04-08
Good morning, Netizens…
Today's random quotation takes me back
to another time, another place.The quote of the day is:
You cannot make a man by standing a sheep on its hind legs. But by standing a flock of sheep in that position you can make a crowd of men.
Max Beerbohm (1872 – 1956)
Years ago, I met and, despite our obvious differences, became enamored of a Bishop of the Latter Day Saints in Wyoming who, despite being unlettered, having never completed high school, managed to read and retain some of the most-humorous aphorisms which he would dispense, at will, from behind the counter of his Napa Auto Parts Store to anyone willing to listen.
One of his favorite citations went, "If you can teach a horse how to canter, you're doing good. However, if you can teach a horse to float on his back in the pond while whistling 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' you may have something."
Unfortunately the Bishop's son, who never had his father's loquaciousness nor his abstract sense of humor, inherited the role of Bishop upon his father's demise as well as titular ownership of the Napa Store.
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.
George Burns (1896 - 1996)
Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.
Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)
When I first saw this quotation come up, I froze both the word of the day and quote of the day, which are processed together, until I had time to verify the authenticity and validity of what the late Former President Reagan was quoted as saying. After several hours spent fruitlessly looking for any alternatives to this quote, or perhaps a clarification of what was said, I have nothing to show but the quote, itself.
Now perhaps more to the question, did Ronald Reagan actually talk with Thomas Jefferson? It seems extremely unlikely, but the question remains nonetheless. According to this quotation, he did.
I guess I can blame it on the Internet.
Good morning, Netizens…
Our Quote of the Day:
Storms make trees take deeper roots.
Dolly Parton
If what, as Dolly Parton states, is truthful, is it not plausible that despite our present economic hardship, our nation is merely being rebuilt and rethought into substantially stronger fare? Is it possible that as the storm passes, our economy if not our nation will be rebuilt with stronger roots, better fiscal wisdom and perhaps to reemerge as the world leader we have repeatedly stated we are?
Or, conversely, as we have seen throughout our history, when storms come, trees topple and fall, edifices are thrown to the ground and people's roots simply cease to exist. We have a clear choice between the acceptance of inevitable strengthening or abject failure.
Is how and when we make this decision determined largely by our faith in ourselves as a nation if not ourselves?
Good morning, Netizens…
Our quote of the day, which comes to us from television icon and sometimes-funny man, David Letterman, bespeaks how bad the air in Los Angeles is.
Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
David Letterman (1947 - )
Fortunately, most days of the year our air here in Spokane is better, at least so long as you do not have to shovel it, which sometimes happens. However, we have recently seen an upsurge in the number of peregrine falcons that have the same result on indigenous bird populations, with frightful efficiency.
They swoop out of the sky at a high rate of speed, snapping the neck of their target, and then lift off to someplace more private to eat their dinner, tossing the bones and various unwanted parts of their meal over the side. The only difference between Los Angeles and Spokane is that the birds are somewhat disembodied when they fall from the trees and the falcons are fat and happy.
Good morning, Netizens…
First, we delve into some essential truths about ourselves through the quote of the day:
A diplomat… is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip.
Caskie Stinnett (1911- ), Out of the Red (1960)
Unfortunately my fate in life has nearly always been that when I tell someone to go to hell, it takes them at least an hour, perhaps longer, before they realize I have already left the room. Thus in most cases, I seldom have an opportunity to find out whether they found the pathway or not.
In a similar vein of thought, when I describe a person's sins, I always prefer to describe their personal demons in as graphic a manner as possible, so there is not one shred of doubt to what sins I am referring.
I hazard a guess that I will never aspire to nor be a diplomat. Based upon the quote of the day, could you be considered a diplomat?
Good morning, Netizens…
We have a picture of Maugham, the author of our quote of the day, and what he wrote:
Follow your inclinations with due regard to the policeman round the corner.
W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), 'Of Human Bondage', 1915
Perhaps if you are curious you might want to read the entire Wikipedia article on Maugham, as this British citizen and world-renown author was not only a multi-hued man of interesting experiences in the world, he was gay, and yet, because of the various places he lived, very discrete about it. In reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Somerset_Maugham you can gather the scope and breadth of Maugham's incredibly prodigious literary life as well as his world travels. Since "Of Human Bondage" is also a free Gutenberg text here http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/351, not to mention available in Kindel format from Amazon, you can easily obtain a copy of the book for your own personal library if you wish. Just remember that, according to several critics, Maugham often injected an autobiographical image or two into everything he wrote.
Now as to the quote itself, and without launching myself into the ongoing, deep, confusing and murky waters of the Spokane Police Department at this particular juncture in time, suffice it to say the quote is timelessly-irrespective of any law enforcement services anywhere in the world. It is a strong admonition to carefully consider your actions before you step forth onto the stage of the world and to always be aware of the policeman, to whom you may pose a particular threat.
Perhaps a classic example of this is you are driving down a long and largely empty road, and suddenly you become aware of a patrol car looming up in your rear-view mirror. You glance at your speedometer almost out of instinctual fear, do you not? Isn't that human nature?
Just a modest thought for the morning in washed-out gray Spokane as we tremulously continue treading toward Spring.
Good morning, Netizens…
Our randomly-chosen quote of the day today:
"The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible."
This bit of truth comes to us from Jean Kerr (1922-2003) Writer and playright, who once wrote, "It's pretty good for a girl who tried writing to justify not doing the dishes," according to Los Angeles Times journalist Myrna Oliver. Author of a 1957 best–seller, "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and many other plays and short pieces, her husband won a Pulitzer Prize as a theater critic for the New York Times.
I hate to disagree with someone so experienced in life, but when I get up in the morning, typically around 2:30 AM local time, my first thought is to see if the world as I know it to be, is still in existence. Since nothing much is moving about at that ungodly hour of the morning, no one to disturb my reveries and contemplations, it is a sacred period of time. When I wake up I always look forward to being able to write something functional, even if I do not necessarily agree with what others are saying about it.
Kerr often wrote in her Chevrolet, parked two blocks from her home in New York, for privacy's sake. This was, of course, before the Internet gave us the tools to write anywhere at all, and thus be able to elude the hordes of people wanting to see into the world of introspective creativity.
Jean Kerr was both a prolific and terribly funny author. That says something about simultaneously writing in a Chevrolet and having six children, neither of which strike me as particularly easy tasks to master.
Good morning, Netizens…
Rather than simply post the quote of the day, after over a year of quoting some of the great thinkers, poets and raving mad of our times, I have decided to make the quote of the day part of my morning ritual by investing a tiny bit of my introspective processes. What better way that to start with one of my favorite authors, Edward Abbey?
No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets.
Edward Abbey (1927 - 1989)
Edward Abbey had me tied up in knots with his treatise (above) until he mentioned electromechanical gadgets. Since many of my associates and I make livings servicing many of those electronic gadgets to which Abbey pays backhand homage, I would have to demur from his reasoning, adding that you haven't truly delved the depths of human depravity until you have encountered pious and sanctimonious people who manage huge computer networks.
They meet or exceed any standards ever set by policemen or government employees when it comes to being irksome.
The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.
Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982), Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, 1966
When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Norm Crosby
You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart.
Fred Allen (1894 - 1956)
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists.
John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006)


text:
The deadlock began around week 20 of my pregnancy, when my mom casually asked about when and where our son would be circumcised. I presumptuously told her we weren't going to do that. Then I saw the surprised look on my husbands face.
"We're not?" he asked.
Sensing an opportunity to mount an offensive, my mom backed him with the full force of the guilt-inducing tone she'd perfected over the years. "But honey, it's not natural to leave your son uncircumcised," she said. "You don't want to do that to him, do you?"
Quickly realizing that I would never win a drawn-out argument, I decided to end the conversation. To do this, I summoned the petulant teenager lying dormant inside me—something that only a mom can awaken in a 33-year-old woman—and said, "Actually mom, circumcision is the exact opposite of natural. That's the whole point, to do away with the 'natural'." Then I gave my husband the 'you'd like to have sex with me again, right?' look and said to him, "We'll talk about this later."
But we didn't. We avoided the conversation until a full week past our little boy's due date, and it seemed like our little boy might never arrive until we made a decision.
When we finally started talking, we quickly realized that neither of us had any rational reason to feel strongly about the subject. We hadn't done any research, nor did we have any current medical information. This is just an emotional topic, in which opinions tend toward the extreme.
To begin working our way towards agreement, we consulted the professionals. Our pediatrician was impossible to read and exasperatingly diplomatic. Either decision would be fine, she assured us. We also learned that the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends circumcision, but not enough to assert that it should be a routine procedure.
In fact, we got the impression from the AAP's website that it was actually trying to talk us out of its position. According to the AAP, circumcision only "slightly lowers" the risk of urinary tract infections for baby boys, which are already "not common," and while the procedure does prevent penile cancer, they note that that form of cancer is "very rare," which I read as "not worth worrying about." They also present a lot of cons to consider, such as pain and a belief that the procedure can affect sexual pleasure later in life.
Other medical organizations aren't more definitive. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, for example, supports the AAP's recommendation, but also notes that the benefits are only "modest." To fully support the idea of cutting my son's penis, I was looking for convincing arguments and significant benefits. These lukewarm endorsements only complicated our decision. Still, I was willing to accept that if multiple groups of medical professionals say that removing the foreskin is reasonable and preferable, I should stop putting up so much of a fight.
This was good news to my husband, who in return committed to a good-faith second phase of research. He looked at numerous photos of the medical procedure online. They were much bloodier than he expected, and he came away confident that there are less intrusive ways to protect oneself from STDs and HIV, two of the major arguments for circumcising. Next, he tried to assuage a personal concern by watching a few "adult" movies to see how an uncircumcised penis "worked." Not surprisingly, this critical investigation revealed that (as 80% of European men could have told us) bedroom mechanics tend to "work" for uncircumcised men just as "naturally" as they do for circumcised men.
We were now united in complete uncertainty, so we decided to do something a little unusual. We polled our friends about their sons' penises, and as you might guess, we learned a lot of interesting things.
First, I learned that the little "we don't recommend routine circumcision [as an after-birth procedure]" clause in the AAP's position is there for good reason. Back in the 1970s, my friend Brad was wheeled out of his parent's hospital room for "routine" tests and came back a foreskin lighter. This happened without notifying or getting permission from his parents. As an adult, Brad based the decision to not have his son circumcised partly on this experience. "I don't have a chip on my shoulder about it," he said. "But it is a little annoying that the decision was made for me at all…and the fact that my parent's didn't get a say is also frustrating."
Our second realization came from the parents of twin boys who told us that not all doctors are equally talented artisans when it comes to genital whittling. "One of our sons has a much better circumcision than the other, which really annoys me," the mother said. "If we have another boy, I seriously might consider getting a mohel (even though I'm not Jewish)."
I'd never thought about circumcision quality control—asking to see examples of previous work seems pretty awkward, but it looked like that's one more thing we'd need to do.

1999 Honda CivicVisitor, Surprise, AZ, April 11, 2014 22:37My 99 civic has 200k miles and still runs great, low cost to maintain,changed oil every 3000k and never had any real big problems, oh i did have to replace head, but that was due to the water pump piece broke off and clogged something over heated, had it replaced and expect to get another 50K out of it, my last civic befor this one went 300k, and never leaked anything, 35-40mpg someone knocked on my door and asked me to sell it to them, that 88 civic took me across the country many times, went through college then I gave it to my little brother and he used it until he graduated Medical School at UCLA and bought his own practice, he gave it back to me with 300k and I drove it to Phoenix where someone stole it to smuggle drugs got it back when police found it and it still ran great up to the day I sold it. I believe in hondability, GO CIVIC!!

10 Brilliant Redesigns for the Bicycle
The bicycle is the near-perfect vehicle, but that doesn't stop people from (brilliantly) messing with the design to increase speed, comfort or desirability to commuters. Here are 10 innovative variations on the bike.
By Jeremy Repanich
Lexus Hybrid Bicycle Concept
At the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota's Lexus brand unveiled this Hybrid Bike prototype, complete with a 240-watt motor powered by a 25.9-volt lithium-ion battery. The bike has the ability to recapture kinetic energy to recharge its battery when the brakes are applied, a common feature in most hybrid vehicles, but certainly rare in bicycles. But to Stoddard it's a bit of an oddity for an electric hybrid bicycle, which he says usually focus more on comfort. "It's a beautiful design, but it [has] a very aggressive riding position more typical to a racing bike," says Stoddard. "That's counterintuitive to what an electric bicycle is offering, which is an easier riding experience."

MLS Preview from The Sports Network (ET)
Vancouver (5-2-5) at Philadelphia (3-7-5), 7 p.m.
Chester, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Philadelphia Union will aim for a second consecutive victory on Saturday when the club hosts Vancouver Whitecaps FC at PPL Park.
Philadelphia has struggled for the majority of the season, but put together its best 90-minute effort thus far following a comfortable 3-0 victory over Chivas USA at StubHub Center last weekend.
Conor Casey bagged a brace and Cristian Maidana claimed a third goal for the Union, who earned just their third victory of the season.
Casey got things going in the right direction for Philadelphia in the 28th minute when he fired home a penalty kick following a handball in the box. He added a second goal just minutes into the second half when he nodded home a cross from Maidana with a diving header.
Philadelphia put the result away 12 minutes from time when Maidana was allowed to gallop into the box unimpeded and he fired it past Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.
"We were able to find ourselves in some good spots and although we didn't always pull off the play, we were trying to just get balls into the box which is important," Casey said
"We've played against some tough opponents this year and this [was] a game that we definitely wanted to win. Hopefully we'll be able to take the confidence from this week and use it to follow up with getting points at home."
Vancouver, meanwhile, comes into the match with supreme confidence after earning a thrilling 4-3 victory over Cascadia Cup rivals Portland Timbers at Providence Park last week.
Pedro Morales scored a pair of penalty kicks, while Erik Hurtado and Jordan Harvey scored for the Whitecaps, who put an end to Portland's 22-match home unbeaten streak.
Portland opened the scoring through Max Urruti just three minutes in, but the Whitecaps drew level in the 16th minute with Morales' first goal. 10 minutes later Morales netted a second PK and Hurtado scored in first-half stoppage time for a 3-1 lead.
Harvey netted four minutes into the second half, but Portland roared back with goal from Gaston Fernandez and Will Johnson in the final 13 minutes, but Vancouver held on for a historic victory.
"It was a great game today," Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson said. "We took our chances and it was a very good performance. We showed a lot of character. We had never beaten Portland, and I made the guys aware of the before the game. The effort and determination was outstanding."

In the end, the only person who didn't know that Jordin Sparks was going to be crowned the newest American Idol was... Jordin Sparks.
After host Ryan Seacrest (finally!) got around to announcing Sparks as the winner, the 17-year-old high-school junior from Arizona said that she had no idea she was the odds-on favorite to join Kelly, Reuben, Fantasia, Carrie and Taylor as America's favorite singer. "I've been in a bubble," Sparks told TVGuide.com after being crowned the youngest Idol to date. "When I went home [after making the finals] there was so much support, but that was from my home state. I had no idea what everyone was thinking."
Sparks needed to go no further than the red carpet outside the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood and Highland Wednesread more
This week, two of my favorite reality shows signed off with satisfying (if, in one case, anticlimactic) season finales. On Bravo's thoroughly addictive Project Runway, Chloe Dao won on the strength of her glamorous, vivid collection, which to my eyes did outshine both Daniel Vosovic's and Santino Rice's. But in the bigger picture, I still feel Daniel won the season, so I was a bit deflated when it was all over.
Daniel dominated many of the challenges, and even his relatively tame collection was lovely to behold. And unlike businesslike Chloe, Daniel's passion for his craft was evident throughout the season. (The less said the better about Santino, who did manage to create a couple of stunners in his collection. But he's had his time hogging the spotlight, and I'm more than happy to move on.)
And then there's WB's adorable read more
American Idol Last week Becky went back to the pages of Maxim, and Stevie? Nixed. The top 10 were a bit disappointing tonight. The ladies made some bad song choices, and almost every one of them attempted to sing too low for her range. Katharine combined both mistakes by kicking things off with Stevie Wonder's "All in Love Is Fair." How many times have I asked you people to please leave Stevie Wonder alone? Katharine was much more impressive last week, so hopefully she'll wow us again. Two people who may not have that chance are Brenna and Heather. Heather, there is a reason nobody has performed Mariah Carey's "Hero" on American Idol. The woman's voice goes from gutter growl to dog whistle at the speeread more
More Credits (4)
American Idol castoff Scott Savol is not just a singer of questionable talent who's sparked heated debate among Idol addicts. He's also a man of few words. Very few words.
Asked how he feels about his love/hate relationship with the audience, Savol simply tells TVGuide.com: "That remains true in life. There were people that hated me and loved me before the show, and now there are just more of them."
Sure, but the knowledge that scores of Americans were rooting for his downfall must have added stress to his performances. "I knew people didn't like me," he sighs. "There are a lot of people that didn't like all of us. If we went with that and performed with that in mind, we all would have had bad performances and just canceled the show [last Wednesday] night."
Much of viewers' distaste for Savol has stemmed from the publicity surrounding his violent past. (He'd previously been

There are two primary ways to find and access individual services within this catalog:
1) The Home, or front, page of this service catalog divides services into ten groupings. Clicking on either the title of the group or the picture next to it opens a page with a short descriptive paragraph for each service within that category. The title of each service contains a link to its catalog page.
2) The "A-Z Listing" page is a list of all of the services in the catalog listed alphabetically. There's a link to the "A-Z Listing" in the top menu of all pages within this catalog.
Once you are on the A-Z Listing page, clicking on a letter at the top will make the focus jump to the first item beginning with that letter. Links are provided to jump back to the top of the page.
Many services are listed multiple times in the A-Z listing because we have tried to include as many possible different terms that might be used to describe or refer to a service to make it more likely that you will find what you are looking for quickly.
Throughout the catalog, clicking the header graphic containing the words "OIT Service Catalog" (the puzzle graphic) will return you to the home page. There is also a standard top menu with links to the A-Z Listing, Help or the Home page.
