Report: Bush Refuses to Pardon Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos
The Bush administration is in its last days. One of the upshots is that requests for Presidential pardons are on the rise. Newsweek reports that
"Among rejected applicants for commutation were Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos, two former U.S. Border Patrol agents whose convictions for shooting a Mexican drug dealer have become a lightning rod in the illegal immigration debate. Their requests were recently "closed without action" because they haven't yet served out their prison terms, Justice spokesman Ian McCaleb told NEWSWEEK. However, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, Texas Sen. John Cornyn and California Sen. Diane Feinstein have written letters urging Bush to commute their sentences."
In July, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the bulk of the convictions of the two Border Patrol officers, who are serving sentences of 11 and 12 years in prison respectively for shooting a fleeing drug smuggler and covering it up.

Max, Total Dog Training – Session 1
Max's owner called us in for a couple of reasons; Max is extremely nervous and at 9 months old, is still toileting in the owner's home.
I went to visit Max in his home to assess his issues and to see were we our dog training classes in Liverpool could help. I saw straight away Max was a really nervous dog and he seemed to be anxious of everything in his environment.
Max's owner and I decided it would be best for him to spend a couple of days with me and my pack to help him with his nervousness and anxiety developing his confidence and trust.
Max came to stay with me for a couple of days this week to work on his nervousness and anxiety, he's done really well. The first time I took him out he was cowering away from other people and dogs and scarpering from any sudden movements or loud noises.
He's now walking right by my side with no pulling holding his head high showing little to no nervousness. I have made Max face all of his fears and brought him through it with no harm coming to him. We have introduced a new feeding pattern and food for Max that his owners can continue with once he goes back home. Overall, Max's cases has been a great success. I would love to keep Max myself as my personal dog to help us out with Dog Training Liverpool rehabilitations – it's sad to see him go!

One of the pages that is referenced frequently from Huffington Post is the blog called Food52.com. They publish a lot of good recipes, and I am bringing one to you for a chocolate cake, for two reasons.
The first reason is that it comes recommended as a favorite of many readers and is also the favorite of one of the Food52 regulars. The second reason is that if you would like to vary it, you can change the jelly or preserves that you add to it for the Black-Forest-type fruit and chocolate combination.
If I were thinking about making that change, my first idea would be orange marmalade, which I buy at Cost Plus World Market in Tucson. There you can find some amazing imported foodstuffs, such as their Lifeboat Tea, a delicious tea blend that goes to benefit England's Lifeboat Society, a volunteer organization that watches the English coastline for shipwrecks and seeks to save victims. They also have an interesting feature that enables you to select from many single-serving-type food items and create your own personalized gift basket.
But if you do like the German influence on chocolate cake, go right ahead and find some sour cherry preserves. I'd look at Sprouts or Whole Foods first, because they have a respectable selection of hard-to-find jams, jellies and preserves. If the idea of "sour" cherries turns you off, you can always use regular red cherry preserves or even black cherry preserves, which are always the sweetest of the cherry family.
From Food52.com
3/4 cup cocoa
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
2 cups boiling water
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups flour
2 scant teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup good quality sour cherry jam or sweetened if you like it
Preheat oven to 350° F. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
Place the cocoa and 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate in a bowl and pour in the boiling water. Stir until all the chocolate is melted. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract.
Alternate mixing in the dry ingredients and the melted chocolate mixture. Do not over mix. Pour batter into two 9-inch cake pans and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
To make the frosting, pour the cream into a saucepan over a medium heat and stir in the 8 ounces of chocolate. Whisk until smooth and shiny.
Place the jam in a saucepan over a medium heat and stir until it loosens enough to pour it over the cake. When the cakes are done and cooled invert one on to a plate and spread the cherry jam over it. I find it better to spread the jam over the "bottom" of the cake since it is always flat. Place the other cake layer on top and pour the frosting over the whole thing. Decorate with whipped cream and cherries to reinforce the "Black Forest" mood of the cake.
When you get to the point of heating up the jam, you could loosen it up with heat and then transfer it quickly to a food processor, or get out your immersion blender and break the fruit up. This isn't crucial in soft fruit like cherries, but orange marmalade would benefit from the breaking up of those shreds of orange peel.
Whatever fruit you use in the cake would also suggest decoration themes, from whole cherries to candied orange peel and whipped cream.
If you choose not to use fruit and go with the pure chocolate flavor, you could also pour a caramel sauce over the cake in place of jam. That would be delicious as well.

Very good. I would maybe marinate the tuna in the glaze next time though, but it is still really good just the way it is. I wouldn't cook it as long next time either, i like my tuna a little raw in the middle. I used all fruit marmalade instead of honey.

Tony Bosch may not be well advised to testify in Biogenesis appeals
Aug 1, 2013, 5:52 PM EDT
This morning I linked a story about the feds taking an interest in Biogenesis and investigating whether or not it sold drugs to high schoolers and things. The Daily News has a more thorough story about it here.
I hadn't thought of this before — my lawyer skills are atrophied, it seems — but a friend of mine just pointed out that this set of circumstances could possibly present a problem for Major League Baseball.
The problem: as a target of a federal investigation, Bosch would be well-advised to clam the heck up. If he testifies or speaks anywhere, his comments will be used against him in any subsequent criminal proceedings. That includes if he speaks at, say, an arbitration following a ballplayer's appeal of a Major League Baseball suspension. If Bosch has a good lawyer, that lawyer is telling him NOT to go on the record anyplace if he fears federal prosecution. Especially given that his testimony at an MLB arbitration would be all about how he sold drugs to people.
Now, this doesn't necessarily create a huge problem. For one thing, Bosch's former employee, Porter Fischer is both cooperating with the feds and Major League Baseball. It could very well be that baseball is relying way more on him than Bosch and that his testimony would be sufficient. It's also possible that Bosch himself is under no illusions that he's going to escape federal pain and could very well make a deal with the feds in time to help baseball if they need his testimony to sustain player discipline.
But it is an interesting wrinkle. One that, if you were a lawyer for a player trying to decide whether or not to appeal Biogenesis discipline, could certainly impact your thinking on the matter.

What's worse the devil that you know or the devil that you don't know. Careful who you align yourself with. Braun might be the only one that regrets any of this.
Craig, do you now see the suspensions being delayed? I mean, what did this guy and MLB think was going to happen???? Selling drugs to kids…your star witness and a thief who stole the documents from the drug peddler.

Kind of makes you wonder if Braun is now banging his head against the wall…
- thebigtim2012 - Aug 1, 2013 at 8:52 PM
This is assuming Tony's deal isn't a massive one where he gets immunity from MLB and the Feds.
- rightherenow123 - Aug 1, 2013 at 9:00 PM
Why would the Feds give Bosch immunity? What do they have to gain by doing so? You go after the illegal doctor/drug dealer, not the ones buying the drugs.
Immunity for what I ask?
- jwbiii - Aug 1, 2013 at 10:29 PM
Right. In a federal case, Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez would be given immunity to spill their guts on Anthony Bosch, not the other way around.
- woocane - Aug 1, 2013 at 9:35 PM
But since most of the documents were written by Bosch based only on his knowledge, it's questionable whether Fischer can authenticate them. Evidence rules are often looser in arbitrations, but without Bosch, the case could well be seriously if not fatally impaired.

A good value. Would be nice if you could get wax paper discs to separate the patties. I make up to 5 pounds of patties at a time and freeze them in Food Saver pouches. You can make multi layer patties easily (hamburger, cheese, and hamburger layered in a single patty).You need to spray the press with an oil spray (olive) to make removal of the patties easier. There is some concern as to how long the plastic press will last.
This tool goes beyond simply pressing hamburger into round disks. The tool makes it easy for any choice in thickness. Adding diced onions, mushrooms, etc before pressing is a breeze. Even making patties that are "stuffed" with complimentary herbs and veggies is an easy option. Using the device as a storage container for preparing patties in advance is a good idea.
The hardest part is figuring out how thick you want your burgers. The press makes bigger burgers than you'd initially think, but they come out perfect.

A terrific value, clever idea to make several hamburger patties at one time. It was shipped very quickly, I'm a happy customer.
There were no instructions with the burger press. How complicated could the simple thing be? The USA distributor says that the pictures on the carton show all that is needed. Not so. The pictures show a thickness that is a 7 plus ounce burger. That is too big for healthy eating. Because of the diameter of the press, 4 ounces of burger meat comes out way too thin. Thus, the burgers BBQ cook at the speed-of-light. Product instructions would have revealed that the carton pictures were only for show and not representative of product actual usage. When a USA distributor gets products made in China they should proof read the information printed on the carton for accuracy and/or include instructions written for and readily understood by Americans. It is not dishwasher safe either.
This made nice burgers however, when I made the burgers ahead of time and stored them in the burger press, the meat bleed all over my refrigerator, it sort of expanded over the lid and leaked everywhere, not sure if I made them to thick or what. In any case it was a mess to clean an hour before my company came.
I like the being able to make the patties ahead of time, and then just pop them on the grill. Also the patties are the same size and cook evenly.

Trying to Make Useful Park Factors
(This is going to be a long page because of all the data displays; be patient.
How to Go About It
As a simple demonstration of the issues, let's try to make a "park factor" for the simplest and most basic stat of all: runs scored. What we are looking for is some one number for a given ball park that will tell us how much easier or harder it is to score runs there than at an imagined "perfectly average" ball park.
To begin with, it should be obvious that the sample size in inter-league play is so small, and the complications from use or non-use of the DH Rule so aggravating, that we must needs restrict ourselves to trying to measure parks relative only to other parks in the same league. Fine: given that, what next?
The first principle is that we need to give parks equal weight in constructing our basis, the presumed "all-average" league park; but equal weight is something the schedule does not provide. A team might play as few as 5 games with some other team, or as many as 18 (and the number of home and away games against a given opponent need not be equal); so to deal with those issues, we need to measure not runs per se, but runs per game.
The next principle is that we need to compare like with like. How Team X does in scoring runs in Park Y and in Park Z depends not only on the characteristics of Parks Y and Z but also on the quality of the pitching staffs of Teams Y and Z. So we need to consider pairings: Team X against Team Y at Park X and at Park Y. Fortunately, we can double our sample size by also considering runs allowed by Team X against Team Y, because we are still comparing apples and apples (X vs. Y).
Another point in avoiding apples-and-oranges situations is changes in parks (or, nowadays, wholly new parks coming on line). For now, let's thus confine ourselves to a single season. For this example, we'll use the 2008 season.
A Typical Season's Raw Data
If we first look at the raw data (excluding inter-league games), it looks like this:
First Calculations
From those data, we can easily make a first calculation of paired raw factors by simply making the per-teams-pair home and away runs-per-game ratios, then making a per-team-pair home-away runs factor:
Some Ratios
We can now strip away the scaffolding and show just the resultant per-team-pair home-away run ratios (we will assume that each park, relative to itself, is 1.000). That gives:
Normalizing Results
But notice something: each block of values was calculated using a particular park as the basis. Thus, the various factors calculated do not average to 1. To clarify: suppose that Park X is the worst park in the league for run scoring; in that case, every other park will necessarily, relative to Park X, show a runs factor above 1. But we can (if we assign Park X a value of 1 relative to itself) now calculate what the supposed "league-average" park looks like by taking the average of all the park runs factors (still, remember, relative to some particular park) and dividing each individual park factor by that average. In principle, we will now have determined what each park's runs "park factor" is relative to the desired (if imaginary) "league-average" ball park. The data now look like this (naturally, for each block, the average park factor is now almost exactly 1--any difference from exactly 1 being just cumulative rounding error):
A First Look at the Real Results
But at once, we see what a disaster we have on our hands. In principle, the factors shown in each block should all be the same. Very clearly, they are anything but. We can see that better if we rearrange the display of the data. Instead of blocking the data out by park used as basis, we block them out by supposed park factor calculated. That looks like this:
Examining the Disaster
To emphasize the comical size of the spreads, we can sort those data by factor size, to get:
Hiding Behind Averages
Let me repeat: if this method worked in practice, for each park the runs "park factor" calculated from other parks should be nearly the same: every horizontal line in the Table above should have nearly identical numbers right across. But in reality, we see spreads approaching a 3:1 ratio. That has nothing to do with the methodology: it is entirely a result of ridiculously small data samples--which is why calculating "park factors" is a bad joke.
In the usual figuring presented to the public, that is all pretty well hidden, because what you get for a given park is--more or less--an averaging of the sorts of results here broken out in detail. You can disguise (though not correct) an awful lot of sins in data analysis by taking averages. (A prediction that every team in baseball will finish with a .500 record will not look bad at all if one takes some Standard Error calculations of the actual-versus-predicted results.)
If you want to see what averaging can hide, here is a tabulation of the averaged runs "park factors" for 2008; for comparison, I show the ESPN results as well (not to pick on ESPN--it's just that the method they use is typical). The "best" column means best-guess, which is what all our figuring above amounts to. I have included a "delta" (differences) column, both as a ratio and as a percentage. What you will notice is that in a very broad way, there is agreement: San Diego seems to have, without much doubt, the stingiest stadium in the majors, and the general pattern from stingiest to most generous crudely corresponds.
But the point here is not whose method is more accurate--when you average the results calculated here, all you're doing is making a slightly better approximation of what the "typical" method achieves, so of course they sort of agree. The real point is that none of them are really much good save in a very general qualitative, not quantitative, way. We can say, for example, that Colorado's park boosts run scoring substantially--but if we try to actually adjust data to correctly allow for it, we're just going to be faking it.
The Bottom Line
The only way one could hope for better results is to cumulate data over several seasons. But, as we already noted, the frequency of structural changes--not to mention actual park replacements--and even such things as percentage of times a park with a retractable roof has it open in a given season, makes any such technique yet another disguising of error by averaging.
Bottom line: if MLB were to stabilize stadia--say, no structural changes any more often than every three years--and cut out interleague play (a folly in any event), we might in time get more meaningful data. But none of that is going to happen, so we need to accept that in analysis the best we can do is what is done on this site: calculate measures from exact data and let the viewer apply a rough mental adjustment to results. Anything else is the sort of thing meant by "lies, damned lies, and statistics."
(Just as food for thought: in the last 10 years alone--2000 through 2009, inclusive--fully a dozen wholly new ballparks debuted, an average of more than one a year. Meanwhile, those with patience and a lot of time on their hands could make a list of structural changes to existing parks during that period, or any other that strikes one's fancy; possible starting places for such eager beavers would include the Clem's Baseball stadium chronology page; or the Baseball Parks park-changes pages.)

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. SB 228 certainly proves that adage in Colorado. When Gov. Bill Ritter signed the bill last week, he characterized the bill as taking a big step toward modernizing Colorado's state budget. At the same time, Josh Penry, the Senate minority leader and a possible challenger to Ritter in next year's governor's race, called the bill "California-style taxing and spending."
If Faye Griffin had her way, there would be no tobacco use at the county's main administrative building and courthouse in Golden, and possibly in other county facilities.
"This is for the health of our employees," said Griffin, a first-term county commissioner who said a tobacco-free government campus is a goal she'll pursue. "It's not to be mean. It's just because we care about the employees."
Griffin is in the very early stages of trying to convert the Jefferson County Courts and Administration Building in Golden to a tobacco-free area.
A plan to increase Jeffco's development fees is moving forward after a June 9 hearing that highlighted county leaders' different philosophies on who should be paying development-related costs.
Because of personal issues, Wanda Boyke's daughter had to leave school for a few months during her junior year.
Boyke, who lives in the Deer Creek area, said her 16-year-old daughter missed so much of the 2008-09 school year that it was nearly impossible for her to be re-admitted at any local high school. Officials at several schools told her they feared her daughter would just be too far behind.
It's safe to say that handcrafted log furniture is more widely found in mountain homes.
Rocky Mountain Log Furniture sells custom items from its stores on Meadow Drive in Evergreen, on Miner Street in Idaho Springs and in Grand Junction. It has just expanded its reach by renting space at the Rocky Mountain Home and Design Center.
The center, on the north side of Interstate 70 at Floyd Hill, houses Colorado artisans who make and sell everything for homes from lighting and flooring to furniture and windows.

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
KEUKA PARK, NY – Kamil Cislak made 10 saves against Keuka College September 5 but his efforts weren't enough as the Hilbert College men's soccer team lost 3-0 in a non-conference game on the road.
Juniors Ed Minkel and Ed Sarcione (in photo to right) both led the Hawks with three shots-on-goal apiece, yet Derek Condon made nine saves to give Keuka their second win of the short season.
Keuka took a 1-0 lead into intermission and finished the scoring less than 20-minutes into the second period with their final two goals.
Hilbert (0-1) looks to earn their first win of the season when they host Wells College September 7 with a 3pm start.

Lidl have a half price sale on this weekend, with prices reduced
on selected items, plus a range of DIY bargains available from
There are just a handful of items reduced to half price; rump
steak, chocolate, cucumber and Suddenly Madame Glamour
ladies perfume. All a bit random, but if you like steak it's hard
to argue with a 400g pack for £1.99.
Now DIY can be a real moneysaver around the house, if you know
what you're doing and secondly, have the right tools. A circular
saw for £34.99, with blades at £6.99 is an ideal way to get busy on
that new decking, or flooring project.
Meanwhile some anti-mould silicone sealant at £3.99 could give
your bathroom a spruce up and stop any water seeping into nooks and
crannies where it can cause trouble.
Starting from next Monday 13th August Lidl have
reductions on a range of kids toys and games by the way, plus a
Singer Serenade 2250 sewing machine at
£79.99. If you're looking to save money by repairing or making your
own clothes then that could be a good investment.

What happened with them, though, was that initially they appealed to a cult audience--the progressive rock audience (which I was and still am a part of)--they had type (3) success from my post above; they were very skilled in a genre that had a built in cult audience, who would basically support anyone very skilled in the genre. They also had "musician's musician" appeal.
Then they started moving into a more commercial direction--and they subsequently started getting some type (1) success instead, while alienating a good portion of their previous cult audience. That type (1) success brings more money in the short term, but suddenly you've got "fashion" fans (and some holdovers from the cult audience, like me, who like a very wide variety of music, including commercial stuff), and the fashion fans aren't going to stick around forever. So by the Hold Your Fire tour, they were starting to see serious attrition, and they had to try to appeal to the cult audiences more again, which after a couple speed bumps, they've pretty successfully done.
Yes, you are correct they started playing bigger places after 2112, and started touring arenas on their own prior to Moving Pictures. I know they opened for KISS a lot in the 70's, and had my dates mixed up.
But the other point remains, the "keyboard" albums sold better out of the gate.
Rush had never had a platinum album until 1981.
Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows all went Platinum in the year they were released.
I just thought it was odd in the movie, they make it sound like Rush lost a ton of fans during that time period,
when record sales show the opposite
, that they gained a ton of fans that more than offset the fans they lost, which lead to huge spikes in sales of their prior albums, as all the new fans became fans of the their older stuff.
I was just at their show last week. I was very surprised by the teenagers who knew every word to every song from all of the older material as well as the newer material.
And BTW, I'm jealous you got to see then so far back!!!!

The gay hero has been remembered in Milton Keynes, where he cracked the Enigma code...
A new piece of art recognising and celebrating WW2 codebreaker Alan Turing has found a home in Milton Keynes. The stunning mosaic created by Yorkshire artists Al Butt and Rita Gav, now takes pride pride of place in Watling Street close to where Turning cracked the German Enigma code.
Having cracked the code, Turning effectively saved tens of thousands of lives during WW2 and was recognised by Winston Churchill as being the man who had made the single biggest contribution to the victory against the war with Nazi Germany.
Prosecuted in 1952 for his homosexual activities, Turing was given a posthumous pardon by The Queen last December and apology from Gordon Brown for the appealing treatment he had received for being a homosexual male. Turing later died from cyanide poisoning and was recorded as having committed suicide.
The piece which has been described by Mayor Cllr Shafiq as being "a staggeringly beautiful work of art with a powerful message" intends to bring more recognition for the genius of Alan Turing whilst inspiring freedom and hope for those still stigmatised because of their sexuality.
Check our the mosaic in Watling Street, Fenny Stratford, in Milton Keynes.

Full detailed profile on Michael Morgan Corinthos III (Past) Played by Dylan Joseph Cash on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Dylan Joseph Cash (ABC)
Birthday: November 30 1994
In the lounge at the coffee warehouse, Alcazar's hired woman is politely waiting. Milo notices her but doesn't flinch. Michael and Morgan come in after school and Max lets them in to see Sonny. Milo gets them hot chocolate and they have a nice visit (while the woman waits in the lounge).
Now that the ball in Time Square has dropped, Sonny tells his boys and Carly that his New Year's Resolution is to be the best father he can be. Carly agrees that she shares the same resolution, but adds that she also wants to be the best wife to Jax. Then, Carly and the boys leave a Happy New Year voicemail for Jax. Sonny overhears Carly telling him that she can't wait to elope when he returns.
Michael and Morgan want to invite Sonny over for New Year's Eve. Carly tells him them that New Year's Eve is different than Christmas, it isn't necessarily about family. In fact, it was supposed to be about "something else". Just then there's a knock at the door. Carly opens it to see a very dressed up Skye, Lorenzo and Lila Rae. Their limo has slid off the road just in front of Carly's house. They want to know if they can stay warm inside until the driver is able to get it going again. Lorenzo offers to stay outside, if it would make Carly more comfortable. She begrudgingly tells them they can all come inside. After Skye goes to the guest room to feed Lila, Carly tells Lorenzo that if it weren't for the baby, they wouldn't have been invited in. She pounces on him and asks if Skye knows what he is capable of? Lorenzo informs his former wife that Skye knows him better than anyone.
The song "What are you doing New Year's Eve" plays beneath the following montage of scenes:
Robin and Patrick are beneath a furry blanket on an air mattress in the middle of the floor. They are listening to music from a boom box and make a toast with plastic cups.
Lorenzo, Skye and Lila Rae are in the back of their limo. At the stroke of midnight, Lorenzo kisses Skye.
Carly and her boys wear party hats and get ready to watch the ball drop on Time's Square on TV at midnight. Sonny shows up and the boys are delighted. Carly reluctantly gives him a party hat, but they all smile and hug. Sonny gives her a warm kiss on the cheek.
Spinelli is blowing noisemakers and stuffing his face while Sam paces back and forth. Jason walks in the door just in the knick of time to kiss Sam at midnight.
Lucky and Maxi are dancing to the jukebox at Kelly's. Maxi lifts her head from his shoulder and they kiss.
Liz is driving during the snow storm. She spins out and crashes the car. She opens the door and falls to the ground.
At home, Carly is helping Michael with his pageant costume. She decides this is the perfect time to explain that Jax will only be with them in spirit this Christmas, and the wedding won't be on Christmas Eve after all. Carly explains that Jax is off helping his brother. She tells Michael that they are going to elope � all together � after Jax rescues Jerry. Michael is bummed that neither Sonny nor Jax will be at the pageant.
Over at the Christmas pageant, the show is getting ready to start. Mike brings his video camera so he can tape all three of his grandsons in the same play. Nikolas whisks Mike up to the manger so that he can set up his shot. Emily is talking to Spencer about how brilliant he will be. We can see Helena, as well as the priest who looks like Manny all in various parts of the background. The show's director sees that she has a new choir singer (Colleen) and introduces herself. Carly arrives with Michael and Morgan and Mike stops them for a picture. Then, he learns that Jax has gone off and before he can say anything, Carly tells him that Sonny will NOT be able to do anything to sabotage their relationship � the wedding is merely on hold. Jason makes it just in time to be seated in the front row with Carly, Emily and Nikolas when the pageant begins. As Michael says his lines perfectly, Carly starts to cry and fumbles around in her purse for a tissue. Someone gives her one and says, "Looks like I got here just in time." It's Sonny! It's Morgan's time to do his part as the Little Drummer Boy. He drops his drumstick and is thrilled when Sonny reaches over and puts it back in his hand. He says, "Dad?" and everyone laughs. As soon as the show ends, Jason excuses himself so that he can go meet Sam. Michael rushes over to Sonny and hugs him. Sonny explains that he spoke to Carly on the phone and she sounded emotional so he thought he'd better come home. They agree to have a full Corrinthos Christmas. Emily goes to warm up the car while Nikolas retrieves Spencer from the manger.
Liz is walking along the waterfront and frantically calling toy stores on her cell phone. She looks over on a bench and sees a red bow on a toy� it's a Chugging Charlie! It has a note on it that says, "To Cameron from Santa". Jason comes out of the darkness and tells her to have a merry Christmas.
Sonny, Michael and Carly are happily walking towards the limo as snow is starting to fall. Sonny looks around and says, "Where's Morgan?" At the same time, Nikolas keeps getting stopped by people on his way to the manger. First the pastor thanks him and then Mike nabs him and shows him a little video clip. Finally, Nikolas is free to pick up his son, blanket in hand. But when he gets to the manger, it's empty.
Carly excitedly shows her boys the fabric she bought to make their costumes for the Christmas Eve pageant. Michael sadly tells her that they can't be in a play if their dad won't be there. Carly doesn't understand what her son is talking about. He explains that Sonny dropped by to tell the boys goodbye and that he'd be home in time to pick them up before Carly goes on her honeymoon. Stunned, Carly promises that their father will be at the play.
Jax and the boys visit Nikolas. Michael asks Nikolas if Spencer can play baby Jesus in the Christmas Eve pageant. Emily loves the idea. Colleen comes into the room to say goodbye to Spencer. Michael tells Colleen that Spencer is going to play Baby Jesus at the Queen of Angels on Christmas Eve. As she whispers in his hear, Emily takes the baby away and Nikolas thanks Colleen for all her hard work.
Carly tries to convince Jax why she needs to stay in Port Charles to keep her hands into the wedding plans. Jax reminds her that Luke and Laura had a memorable wedding with even less time to plan it. He tells her that they should concentrate on each other during this time. Carly excitedly agrees with him and calls the boys downstairs. Once they are seated on the couch, she tells them they are going to Australia for Christmas. Michael promptly says, �No!� He explains that he and Morgan can't go away because they have to find Jesus. Michael explains that they have parts in the nativity pageant on Christmas Eve. In fact, they wanted to ask if baby Spencer could play baby Jesus. Jax and Carly send the boys upstairs so they can decide what to do. Carly votes that she and Jax should concentrate on themselves for a change. Jax has a compromise. They should all stay for the pageant and leave for the Bahamas the next day. Carly says she'll handle Sonny. Jax asks, �Why do we have to handle Sonny at all?�

You can perfectly go through the city without being hit by a car. Leaving the house doesn't imply death.
Of course! But you can also install software on your computer without polluting your registry. This is an English language thing, I think. There is a saying in English that if you want to avoid the negative consequences of some action you should simply avoid that action altogether. For example, if you don't want to die in a plane crash, don't fly! To make some other examples: if you want to avoid slipping and hurting yourself in the shower, don't shower! Don't want to choke on a chicken bone? Don't eat chicken. Scared about a paper cut? Avoid paper.
I suppose, really, I read your comment in haste and interpreted it in light of the English saying described above. So I read it like this: ANYTHING we do on a Windows computer is going to affect, and potentially pollute, the registry. Therefore, if you want to avoid polluting your registry you shouldn't install any software on your computer. Now I realize that you probably meant it in the way that I rephrased it: just be careful about what you install on your system.
EDIT: corrected some atrocious grammatical errors introduced in my last edit!
