The little sister of the vast O2 Arena isn't really all that little. In fact, with a capacity of 2,350 – part-standing room, part-amphitheatre seating, sometimes part-table seating – the former IndigO2 is one of the city's bigger venues. It attracts big soul, funk and pop-jazz acts (Roy Ayers, Stacey Kent), knackered old pop stars (Howard Jones, Gary Numan) and all points in between. It's hosted everything from the NME Awards to the legendary 'X Factor' boot camp sessions and Jongleurs Comedy Club's twenty-fifth Anniversary shows. Given the right headliner, Indigo is well worth the schlep out to Greenwich – especially if you go by boat.

Went to see Dr Hook last night and it was fabulous! Every member of staff was cheerful and friendly. No waiting at the bar or for the loos. A big venue with a personal intimate feel ... Would definitely visit again, thanks Dave and the rest of the staff!
Good location and nice venue. Went to kisstory on Saturday 20 October 2012 and although we had VIP tickets we waited for 30 minutes to be served a drink! There were only 2 bar staff in the VIP bar. Absolute joke. Then the card machine broke so they only accepted cash, if you didn't have cash, you didn't get a drink. No apology! Kisstory put on a brilliant night. Shame the venue let them down.

Police Remove 9/11 Plane Debris 12 Years After The Tragedy
Category: Society
/ May 01, 2013 12:53PM EDT
New York Police removed a piece of plane debris on Wednesday (May 1) believed to be from one of the commercial airplanes that crashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. The debris was discovered last week wedged between two lower Manhattan buildings, in a narrow alleyway behind 51 Park Place and 50 Murray Street in Manhattan's financial district. The item includes a "clearly visible" Boeing identification number, according to New York City police. Police said the discovery was made on Wednesday (April 24) by a construction crew inspecting the rear of the Park Place building. The location is the site of an Islamic prayer space and community center that opened amid controversy in the fall of 2011, two blocks from Ground Zero. Nearly 12 years after two commercial airliners smashed into the two Manhattan skyscrapers, destroying them and killing nearly 3,000 people, city officials continue to turn up debris from the attack and identify human remains. It will be up to the New York City medical examiner's office to determine whether to sift the soil around the site where the landing gear was found for more evidence. Video Source: Reuters

With reference to yesterday's news that Chrome has caught up with Firefox and that they now hold roughly the same market share (both behind Microsoft's Internet Explorer), I thought I would present the situation for exactly the same functionality, in Chrome, as the one described in my post on 10 + 2 favourite Firefox addons. You may find all the extensions mentioned here, at the Chrome Web Store.HTTPS Everywhere – encrypt the web! This plugin is the result of an initiative by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and it will always attempt to use a secure, encrypted connection to any web page you try to visit, so that third parties cannot eavesdrop (or make it harder for them to do so, anyway). This functionality does not yet exist in Chrome, as such. However, there's the «HTTPS Enforcer» extension, which comes pretty close. Note from the developer:«Chrome doesn't yet have the necessary API to make this plugin completely secure as Firefox plugin (https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere). So, plugin doesn't provide the full security benefits of Firefox HTTPS Everywhere, but I think it would a) provide a clear improvement in security to those who understand the risks, b) make it easy to provide the full security benefits as soon as the necessary APIs have landed. It may also increase the pressure to finish those APIs. By the way, needed APIs currently are experimental, so we can use it in stable version soon. Stay tuned.» Add to Search Bar. Chrome kicks butt in this department, as it automatically saves and imports the functionality of every search engine you use while you're surfing. No need to install anything!

My favourite 10 + 2 Firefox addons, for 2011…
I've tried almost all browsers available, and my favourites are Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. In this post I'll list the Firefox addons that I consider indispensable, and which are the reason I stick with Firefox, most of the time!
- HTTPS Everywhere – encrypt the web! This is an initiative by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, to make the web a more secure communication medium. This plugin will always attempt to use a secure, encrypted connection to any web page you try to visit, so that third parties cannot eavesdrop (or make it harder for them to do so, anyway).
- Add to Search Bar. Very handy plugin, especially in combination with «Organize Search Engines«, of the same developer, as well as with InstantFox. In fact, I would consider «Add to Search Bar» and «Organize Search Engines» as one addon, made of two components. What it does, is that whenever you are on a page with a search box (e.g. an eshop, a dictionary, a forum, whatever), you can right click in the box and add the particular search functionality into your custom search engines.

Ratings for Dr. Natasha A. Rodgers
Dr. Rodgers is amazing! My daughter is 2 and Dr. Rodgers has been her doctor since she was 2 months old! Dr. Rodgers ha always been so patient with me (I always had tons of questions) and always sends me home with printouts that answers all of my major questions. She also always tells me how well my daughter is doing and how smart she is, which makes me feel like she really cares and loves her job!
Amazing doctor who takes her time with our infant daughter. I always feel like she's answered all my questions and I never feel rushed. She seems very confident in her advice and prints out step by step directions to send home if we ever have any questions. I'm happy we have her for our pediatrician!
Dr. Rodgers is part of a multi-Dr pediatric group, but we request her as much as possible. She is young, bright, and friendly. She is always willing to answer questions and we never feel rushed when we are with her. She even makes my pre-teen boy feel comfortable with a female Dr.

Historical Traveler Reviews Monaco Washington DC, a Kimpton Hotel
Tiny room, big prices
Stayed here last summer, thankfully just for one night. Had spent a few days in the Four Points Sheraton (which was great!) but foolishly decided to "splurge" on a boutique hotel for a treat. What a mistake! I was banished to a tiny room in the basement. High ceilings, but so small I could barely squeeze past the end of the bed, to look out of the window where I was eye level with the road surface of a street with a noisy bar opposite (people parking - very badly ;) all night). Staff were sullen and disinterested on check-in, blatantly dismissive on checkout. I guess they must have taken an instant dislike to me, as looking at the floorplan for the hotel (on the fire notice on back of my door) my room was actually equal smallest in the whole hotel...
Serves me right for booking last-minute through the internet, I suppose. I'm sure that if you pay rack-rate for a deluxe room you'll be quite happy, but for a regular traveller it's a total rip-off. Sorry to go on, but I've travelled a lot, stayed in some ropey hotels, but this one really got to me. Plus points: Clean. Minus points: Overpriced, rude, shower falling apart, bed too short (I'm 6ft 1"), Overpriced, er... overpriced...
Never ever again
This hotel is not worth $200 a night by any stretch of the imagination.
First, the valet service is very slow (it took almost 20 minutes to have our car brought around everytime) and they are not in the least bit polite. The rooms are small but the tall ceilings make them seem bigger initially. We probably would have been okay for one night but staying for six made the room small very quickly. The shower had very low water pressure and took close to ten minutes to get hot. There is very little closet space and only three drawers for clothes. The bed was okay but the pillows were so soft your head sank into them within five minutes offering no supoort for your neck and the down blanket was thin (not the warmest for the cold DC weather). Since this building used to be an office the hallways are loud and echo when people are walking by. The only redeeming factor for the Monaco is the great location. You can walk to tons of restuarants and attractions.
Hated this hotel
I paid a rate of $240 for this hotel in June 2003. What I got was a room in the basement that was so small I could barely fit. When I asked the manager to help me find a different hotel (he would not move me claiming the hotel was full), he refused. The room was so small there was no room to put the TV. It was wall mounted in the corner, like some cheap hotel, and because the room had high ceilings, it was impossible to watch without laying on the bed. Of course, since there was only a desk chair in the room, there was no place to sit anyway. Service was terrible. When I wanted some water from the mini-bar, I realized I had no mini-bar key. When I called, I was told they were out of keys and that someone would be sent to open it for me. It took me two additional calls to get someone to open the mini-bar. Another problem was the bedding. While it would have been fine in the winter, the down comforter was completely inappropriate for the humid weather of June. I could not wait the get out there. When I later emailed the hotel with my complaints, they never responded. I have stayed at other Monaco hotels and other Klimpton properties. They've all been great. The Topaz is a real gem, and the Monaco in Denver is excellent. The Monaco in D.C. was the most expensive and the worst.
What a nice mini-vacation
The hotel is only one block from the Shakespeare Theatre which we were going to see a play at so we decided to stay here. My husband and I had a very pleasant stay. The decor was fun, the staff was nice. It was my husband's birthday so I arranged to have a bottle of wine in our room upon arrival along with a goldfish. The wine was there, but not the goldfish. Oh well, at least the most important thing was there. After the performance, we stopped at their little restaurant for dessert. I was dissapointed by the service and quality of the dessert so we wont do that again. But I would stay at the hotel again. Housekeeping was very good too.
Very pleasant - but less radical than I'd expected
The other reviews here are accurate. The decor is very modern in parts (leopardskin robes!) but surprisingly traditional elsewhere, especially the TV cabinets. As its an old building conversion, however, the mix works. I paid $219 for a two-room suite in August and can't complain - you get double the normal space and a jacuzzi bath. All I would say, however, is that this is not a 'design' hotel in the mould of a 'W'.
There is no hip-and-trendy bar, no hyper-trendy lobby, no condoms in the mini-bar. Think of it as a traditional hotel with a few funky furnishings and you won't be disappointed. (PS. As with all downtown hotels, the area is not exactly buzzing at night. If you want lots of restaurants, cafes, bars etc you may want to stay in Georgetown and cab it downtown everyday.)
Modern and Eclectic!
Recently stayed at the Hotel Monaco and was pleasantly surprised when they allowed us to check in early (1:30pm) as oppoed to the usual 3 pm check-in time. Reserve online at their website (...) and they will let you check out late as well! The room was a tad bit small but very comfortable. The bed looked funky with its orange and blue pillows contrasted with white linens. All very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean with Aveda amenities. Bring CD's cause there is a stereo! Hallways were adorned with post-modern art canvases and large "artsy" benches and lamps hanging from the ceiling. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Complimentary coffee in the morning and wine tasting in the evening. Metro is right across the street. Overall, very wonderful stay at the Hotel Monaco!
Not your typical hotel room
Recently returned from a long 4th of July weekend in DC. Although we won't go back to DC in July, we will definitely stay at the Hotel Monaco again. The rooms were great, high ceilings, bright colors and very clean. The linens were high quality and comfortable. The decor was a little unusual for one ultra conservative member in our party but the rest of us loved it. The location, 3 blocks from the Mall and right across the street from the Spy Museum was excellent. Perfect for tourists who plan on a lot sightseeing and walking.One troublesome issue with the Monaco, they allow pets so beware of barking dogs at night. We had one across the hall from us who barked for about an hour one night. Apparently they reserve certain rooms for guests with pets.
When I go back, I will request to be put on a no pet floor or as far away as possible. Other than that one irritating hour, the hotel was wonderful.
Nice hotel but room was small
We had a nice stay at the hotel. The service was excellent, and the restaurant was also very good. The room was full of amenities, but rather small. It only had a bed, one side table, one desk that doubled as the other side table, and one chair, that's it! No other sofa/lounge or coffee table where you can eat if you order room service. But other than that it was a nice hotel and they had complementary wine tastings every evening in the lobby.
Pleasant stay
We stayed a night in March 2002. The hotel was well located, adjacent to the International Spy Museum with the MCI Center and metro stop just diagonally across the street. Rooms were well appointed, spacious, very high ceilings and two beautiful full length windows (it's a restored old building). Bedlinen of excellent quality, and Aveda amenities, CD player, cordless phone etc. (No bath tub though, for those of you who want a soak.) But what I liked best were the corridors leading to the rooms, which were stunning and unforgettable -- you have to see it for yourself. Service at the front desk can't really be faulted but could have done with a bit more warmth and enthusiasm.
Absolutely wonderful!
I travel a lot, and my job allows me to stay in wonderful hotels wherever I go. By far the best stay I have had anywhere is at the Hotel Monaco. The room was unbelievably large and well-appointed. I particularly enjoyed the cashmere and silk throw across the foot of the bed and the high-quality name-brand bath products in the bathroom.

The staff was friendly and considerate but not particularly knowledgeable about the area. Because the hotel is still so new, I'd guess that this will improve with time. I will most certainly stay at the Hotel Monaco whenever I visit D.C. in the future.

We've got our review of Ubisoft's RTS R.U.S.E. up, albeit a bit later than we prefer.
Blame Microsoft for sending Halo: Reach on time.
The console versions aren't much better, as I understand it.
They've also got the usual pop-in loading and inaccurate controls.

It's interesting that you seemed to can it, then yet give it a fairly respectable score of 7/10.
Thinking of buying this game, this review posed more questions than answers for me though!

Sociological, psychological, and public health studies document that many gay and bisexual men may self-label by their anal penetrative role (i.e., bottom or exclusively receptive; top or exclusively insertive; or versatile, both receptive and insertive during anal intercourse). Yet, what orients men to think of themselves as tops, bottoms or versatiles is poorly understood. We surveyed 429 men engaging in same-sex anal intercourse to investigate the degree to which anal penetrative self-identity was concordant with actual penetrative behavior. Additionally, the roles of masculinity and physical body traits (e.g., penis size, muscularity, height, hairiness, and weight) were tested as correlates of anal penetrative identity and identity-behavior concordance. Tops and bottoms showed a high degree of concordance between identity and enacted behavior; however, only half of versatiles reported concordant identity and behavior (i.e., wanting to be versatile and actually reporting versatile behavior). Generally, tops reported larger penises than bottoms. They also reported being comparatively more masculine than bottoms. Versatiles fell somewhat between the tops and bottoms on these traits. Of the six independent variables, penis size and masculinity were the only two factors to influence concordance or discordance between identity and penetrative behavior. Our study suggests that the correlates of gay men's sexual self-labels may depend on objective traits in addition to the subjective pleasure associated with receptive or insertive anal intercourse.

Initial assessment on Libya wrong, Rice says
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice told lawmakers Tuesday that her initial explanation of the deadly Sept. 11 raid in Libya was wrong, but her concession failed to mollify three Republican senators who signaled they would oppose her possible nomination to be secretary of state.
In a closed-door meeting that Rice requested, the ambassador answered questions from Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte about her much-maligned explanations about the cause of the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. She was joined by acting CIA Director Michael Morell.
"The talking points provided by the intelligence community, and the initial assessment upon which they were based, were incorrect in a key respect: There was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi," Rice said in a statement after the meeting. "While we certainly wish that we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the case the intelligence assessment has evolved."
Rice's unusual visit to Capitol Hill — typically only nominees meet privately with lawmakers — reflects the Obama administration's campaign for the current front-runner to replace Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton against some strenuous GOP opposition.
"We are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didn't get concerning evidence that was leading up to the attack on the consulate," McCain told reporters after emerging from the hour-plus session that he described as candid.
Said Graham: "Bottom line I'm more disturbed now than I was before that 16 September explanation." He said in a later interview that Rice went "far beyond the flawed talking points" and should be held accountable.
"I'm more troubled today," said Ayotte, who argued that it was clear in the days after the attack that it was terrorism and not a spontaneous demonstration prompted by an anti-Muslim video.
The White House remained defiant in its support for Rice, arguing that she was relying on an assessment from the intelligence community and had no responsibility in compiling the information on the cause of the attack. It dismissed what it characterized as a fixation on her national television appearances five days after the raid.
"The focus on, some might say, obsession on comments made on Sunday shows seems to me and to many, to be misplaced," spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at a White House briefing.
House Democrats, including female members of the Congressional Black Caucus, have suggested that the GOP opposition to Rice is sexist and racist. Senate Democrats, who will increase their advantage to 55-45 in the next Congress, said Rice could win confirmation if Republicans recognize the unfairness of penalizing her for the intelligence community's talking points.
"The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a statement. "I am shocked that senators would continue these attacks even when the evidence — including disclosures from the intelligence community about the information she presented — have made it clear that the allegations against Ambassador Rice are baseless, and that she has done absolutely nothing wrong."
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., told reporters that "it is so unfair to hold her responsible for something that she didn't produce and which the intelligence community has specifically stood by."
Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., who met separately with Rice and Morell, said the ambassador told him that she based her Sunday show appearance on material from the intelligence community and the White House neither provided briefings nor additional talking points.
A recurring issue is whether changes were made to the intelligence material at the request of the White House or for political reasons. Lieberman said Morell told him that was not the case.
"The acting director of the CIA said whatever changes were made in the original talking points before they were given in unclassified form to the House Intelligence Committee and to Ambassador Rice were made within the intelligence community," Lieberman said.
Despite lingering questions over her public comments after the Benghazi attack, Rice has emerged as the top candidate on a short list of possible successors to Clinton, with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., seen as her closest alternative.
The strong statements from the three senators clouded Rice's prospects only two days after Republican opposition seem to be softening. Rice planned meetings on Wednesday with Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who is in line to become the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.
Corker said Tuesday that he had concerns with a possible nomination.
"When I hear Susan talk she seems to me like she'd be a great chairman of the Democratic National Committee," Corker said. "There is nobody who is more staff supportive of what the administration does. That concerns me in a secretary of state."
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., who had indicated late Monday that Rice perhaps had been unwittingly used by the administration, said in a statement Tuesday that Rice is unfit for the top diplomatic post.
"It is now clear that she willingly misled the American public five different times in the days after the attack," Inhofe said. "And for months after the attack she failed to acknowledge, until today, that her account of what happened was deeply and fundamentally flawed."
A senior Senate aide said the administration was sounding out moderate members of the Foreign Relations Committee, such as Corker and Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. Assessing the prospects for Rice before Obama makes any announcement would avoid the embarrassment of a protracted fight with the Senate early in the president's second term and the possible failure of the nominee.
On talk shows the weekend following the attack, which took place on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, Rice was given talking points that described the attack as a spontaneous protest of the film, even though the Obama administration had known for days that it was a militant assault.
Republicans called her nomination doomed, leading to a vigorous defense of her by Obama in his first postelection news conference. Since then, GOP lawmakers have appeared to soften their views. McCain, who said earlier this month that would he do everything in his power to scuttle a Rice nomination, had said Sunday that he was willing to hear Rice out before making a decision.
Rice, who at 48 is relatively young, has been known to covet the job for years, but was passed over for Clinton in 2009.

Nintendo Profits Declining for First Time Since 2004
Price drops and the yen value reduced company profitability, but 3DS could put it back on track.
For the first time since the DS launch in 2004, Nintendo is forecasting a drop in profits for the fiscal year ending in March 2010. Business Week reports that the company will report 230 billion yen ($2.4 billion) in profits, down from 279.1 billion ($2.95 billion) the prior year. The reduced profits are being attributed to three factors: weaker sales early in the year, a lower profit-margin on the Wii due to the price cut, and the value of the yen. The company also saw a stock drop earlier this year, which it has been recovering from.
Of course, this doesn't mean the company is losing money -- just that it has ceased steady year-over-year increases. Some analysts even predict that Nintendo is underestimating its own sales. "We are expecting the results to be better than the company forecasts for the Wii," said Nomura Securities analyst Yuta Sakurai. "Christmas shopping was strong."
The company seems to be banking a lot on the success of the 3DS. Another portable hardware launch is almost certain to be a boon to company profits, but analysts are cautious to bet on the hardware until we see it at E3. Its coming out party is growing increasingly important for Nintendo.

It was bound to happen eventually. Let us hope that there next console leap is more compatible with current technology. Don't get me wrong I love the Wii but seriously seeing it even with component on my 47" fails to impress next to the 360 or PS3. I know the whole graphics aren't important crap they spew blah blah blah well guess what they are. I just played chrono trigger on the ol' snes and loved every second of it's standard definition hard to read textness but come on if it's a new title with hype it needs to be somewhat enjoyable and eye pleasing next to gow or fear or asassins creed ect.

Just look at what's coming out on Wii this year. Sin and Punishment 2, METROID OTHER M, The Last Story, Mario Galaxy, maybe a new Zelda, and maybe Xenoblade. And that's not even including DS games. As far as I'm concerned, Nintendo has the best software line-up of 2010.

Well written article.Posted: May 04, 2010 12:00AM PST by NagChampa
The title is a bit misleading, as it hints at Nintendo being in dire straits, but the article is written in a very informative and matter-of-fact manner. On topic, I don't think Nintendo has anything to worry about. Posting profits for six years, consecutively, is impressive and something that can't be undone over night. I'm really skeptical of the 3DS' impact on Nintendo's gaming market, but you never know...
The End of the World!Posted: May 04, 2010 12:00AM PST by RonaldBryan
Oh no, Nintendo only made $2.4 billion. This must be a sign that Nintendo is about to fold because there is no way a company can survive on $2.4 billion. That's right Nintendo, you never should have forgotten the hardcore market, because billions of dollars can't save you. Everyone knows a company that made billions is going to fail.

The Wii broke all its prior holiday sales records in 2009. And it's still been selling very well here in 2010, a pattern which will no doubt continue with the Black Wii + Wii Sports Resort combo out soon.
... that said, it's 'printing less money' than it used to, because of the price cut to $200. And with the new bundle considered, they'll likely be making around $75 less off of Wii console purchases than they were 8 months ago.
Basically, Nintendo's in a situation where they sold about the same number of Wii's this fiscal year as the prior (a shitton). They're just making substancially less money off them.
I guessPosted: May 04, 2010 12:00AM PST by pandasnyper723
we're all going to have to get another 1 or 2 Wii's then.
Well...Posted: May 04, 2010 12:00AM PST by rickopolis
...when everybody in the world already owns a wii you would expect sales to decline a little.
It happensPosted: May 04, 2010 12:00AM PST by jacktrades
It is amazing to hear that for the first time in 6 years that they dropped in profit. And with the Nintendo 3DS coming I would agree that with its appearance and it coming out, the drop in profit should only be a temporary setback.

Dearbhail McDonald: There are no words to describe the pain the little girls endured
Published 04/03/2014 | 02:30
In an extraordinary act of dignity, sitting yards away from the man who defiled his child, the father said he was not seeking revenge, only justice
THIS is the hardest piece I have had to write in my professional career, certainly the saddest and without doubt the most horrific. I'm struggling to find words.
Struggling because there simply are no words to describe the unspeakable trauma visited upon two young girls, babies really, subjected to a terrifying rape and kidnap ordeal at the hands of a man described by their parents as sadistic and animalistic.
Years covering the criminal courts, observing what William Golding described as the innate savagery of man, thicken your skin.
It's not that you become immune to the horrendous details that unfold in the seemingly endless murder, manslaughter and rape trials you cover.
Far from it.
But you have to maintain a professional detachment, report the facts, place them on the public record – and silently hope that the nightmares you report on by day don't haunt you at night, as they sometimes do.
Yesterday, as prosecutors outlined the horrendous details of the assaults on the six- and nine-year-old girls, the professional detachment betrayed almost everyone in court six of the Criminal Courts of Justice.
As the sobs of the parents reverberated around the state-of-the-art courtroom, a cacophony of mourning sounds – gasps, shocked sighs and weeping, including my own – mingled with theirs.
Prison officers sat slumped with their heads in their hands; lawyers and gardai struggled to maintain their composure, others just rocked back and forwards as if to comfort themselves from the horrors.
Several journalists, described by sentencing judge Mr Justice Paul Carney as "hard-boiled", wept as the evidence of the rapes was solemnly read out by Senior Counsel Patrick McGrath, leading the prosecution.
We cried as the mother of the nine-year-old girl said in a victim-impact statement that her daughter was traumatised beyond belief.
Tormented by unrelenting images, she said she could picture her little face and almost hear her heart beating, her pain and her little body being defiled by him.
"Inside, I am slowly dying," she said as the statement was read out, clinging to her husband, who was close to collapse. For his part, the father of the nine-year-old paid tribute to the dignity and bravery of his daughter, saying that it took his breath away. In an extraordinary act of dignity, sitting yards away from the man who defiled his child, the father said he was not seeking revenge, only justice.
The father of the six-year-old took to the witness box to honour his daughter.
He said he wanted to be able to answer his daughter and say "I chose to do this for you", reading a heartbreaking poem he wrote for her in the aftermath of the violation.
He told Judge Carney that the man had engaged in acts of depravity not fit for a society where a six-year-old exists.
Few judges are as exposed to the sheer depths of depravity humanity can sink to as Judge Carney.
As listing judge of the Central Criminal Court, he has presided over more rape and murder trials than any other judge.
From time to time, he has had quite public spats with the Court of Criminal Appeal over certain rulings and sentences, some of which have been reduced by the three-judge court.
But his decision to issue two life sentences was perfectly pitched and one that is unlikely to be overturned.
Judge Carney searched for redemption, as he is legally required to do, to consider mitigating factors in favour of the rapist. He found few.
Those that might ordinarily lead to a reduced sentence including co-operation with gardai and a signed plea, which obviated the need for a trial and the prospect of those babies testifying against the "bad man", could not unseat the life terms Judge Carney imposed.
We believe there is a strong public interest in naming this abuser who has, unusually, been given a mandatory life sentence for rape and deserves no protection from his crimes. One day he will be released. And, traumatic as that will be for his victims, the public interest may require that he be identified at that time.
But we have chosen not to do so now, only because the families of his victims asked that he not be identified and we do not wish to add in any way to their suffering.
The vast majority of child rape victims are assaulted not by strangers, but by their fathers, uncles or a trusted adult.
Their family units are destroyed.
The one heartening aspect of this case is that these girls are so loved and protected by their parents, as their testimony proved.

Per Mertesacker believes the key to Arsenal's Champions League progress is what happens BEFORE they take on Bayern Munich.
The Germany defender and former Bayern star Lukas Podolski are licking their lips at the prospect of taking on the Allianz Arena side in the last 16.
Read Martin Lipton's club-by-club guide to the Champions League last 16
Runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern have a score to settle with English football after Chelsea beat them in last season's final in Munich.
But Mertesacker is convinced that Arsene Wenger's men can knock out the German giants if they hit form in the next two months. Mertesacker said: "Maybe it's a good opportunity for us to face them in February because we will be in our rhythm.
"We will hopefully go through the Christmas period in a strong way.
"We can do that. We have a lot of potential and Bayern know they will face an Arsenal squad that will be strong in February.
"We have to show that it's not only our potential which makes us a good side but we have to get good results until the next Champions League game.
"Bayern have strong players and have created a team. That's what matters – that good teams with good individuals stick together."
Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger last night told Theo Walcott it is time he showed some genuine loyalty to the club that made him.

When receiving head, suddenly without warning, the "blowee" pushes down on the "blowers" head, forcing them to the base of the penis and thus causing them to gargle and "argh" like a pirate. If they wish the "blowee" may yell pirate slang at this point, i.e. "arg! take me seed wench! arg!"

Garage sale season brings bargains for Erie-area shoppers
With warmer days arriving, Erie-area residents are opening their garages and yards to sell their stuff.
Finding bargains is just one of the reasons buyers flock to such sales. The hunt for treasure, the opportunity to make a quick buck and the overall experience are other reasons shoppers are willing to enter strangers' garages.
Some shoppers, such as Jim and Debbie Miaczynski of Millcreek Township, have managed to furnish entire rooms in their house with garage and yard sale purchases.
"It's amazing what you can do," he said.

But that wasn't enough for the family of Jason Larkin Jr., who died of blunt-force trauma and internal bleeding after suffering body punches from Zysk in the Roxborough home he shared with the boy's mother.
A third-degree murder conviction could've kept Zysk, 30, in state prison for 20 to 40 years. But, after three days of deliberating, a Common Pleas jury deadlocked on a murder charge.

What happened to the art of writing
long letters to a friend,
a lover waiting anxiously,
a beginning and an end?
Emails miss the middle bits
and all the extras, too,
but letters can be rich with words
of details through and through.
I know of some whose only kiss,
flowed from heart to pen,
on scented sheets of pale paper,
read again and again.
These letters safely tucked away
in secret backs of drawers,
are memories rich for years to come,
a journal of one's stories.
So, if I write too much today,
forgive me if you ...
I dreamt of you again last night
a face to see, no face to know,
whatever face I give you then
from glimpses of your words
to me -
That's all I know.
You are a phantom mystery;

Dec 2012
Marcus had been content to strolling peacefully along route 102, enjoying the slight breeze that made the route seem so welcoming. Had been fine whistling a tune to himself, blissfully walking towards Petalburg, his mind wondering what he would do once there. Had been fine wandering with not a single care. Until someone had given him one.
"You're a trainer? We have to battle!" A girl exclaimed, bombarding Marcus with words he could hardly follow as they flew out of her mouth. He just gave her a quizzical look as she returned it with a look of confusion, as if his lack of sudden action had disturbed the natural order of things. "You're new aren't you?"
"Uh, a little." Marcus admitted, noticing that the brown haired girl was a little younger than him and wore a school uniform or something similar.
"Well let me explain something," she stated, her voice almost too upbeat. "Once two trainers lay eyes upon each other, they MUST battle!" She practically yelled at him, emphasizing the "must" too much for his liking. He knew she was just being dramatic, but even so, the fact that she would think such things worried him. Mostly because it meant he wouldn't get out of battling her, but also because she probably had more experience.
"I might as well," Marcus replied, almost shocking himself with how much his confidance had been lacking since starting his journey. He could do nothing at the present time but shrug it off and assume it was just him being the cautious beginner as the two trainers put a little distance between each other. "I'm Marcus."
"Tara. Now go Petilil!" Tara announced as she enlarged a pokeball and tossed it into the air, letting the blinding white light summon her small green Pokemon, Marcus taking note that it looked similar to a floor before it bloomed. Marcus knew Tara was waiting on him to start, but his hand had nervously been shoved into his pocket, confusing him on which Pokemon it was in the ball he held.
, he couldn't help but scream at himself within his thoughts,
Spheal gets out and I lose
Pidgey gets out and I die
Win win
Marcus thought sarcastically as he worked up the nerve to throw it, releasing his own Pokemon in a similar white light.
"Pidgey," the Pokemon stated upon being summoned onto the field, its form almost gentle and calming as it peacefully sat upon the grass. Until it looked back at him with a look that would kill him if it could. It was mad.
"Petilil use Leech Seed!" Marcus almost felt grateful for the attack being called out, for upon its release, Pidgey had quickly taken to the skies, intent to attack its trainer filling its determined eyes. However, it had been hit by the small yellow seed Petilil had shot at it, the seed quickly sprouted, covering Pidgey in vines that hampered its flight, knocking it to the ground at Marcus' feet. Pidgey still struggling to worm its way towards its trainer when the Leech Seed had taken full effect, the vines suddenly zapping Pidgey of some of its strength. A blessing in disguise as it made Pidgey forget its hatred of Marcus, instead it turned its head to glare at its opponent, a beautiful grass type that had practically stabbed it in the back.
"Good, Pidgey get it!" Marcus yelled, willing to let the Pidgey command itself for the time being. Finally managing to work its wings out of the entrapment of vines it began to hover over the ground, cries of battle filling the air as it darted towards Petilil, almost completely unphased by the Leech Seed which continued to zap its strength. It all would come down to Pidgey's ability to take attacks, as well as its ability to dish them out. Pidgey quickly delivering a few Tackles, Petilil having difficulty keeping up the bird's speed.
"It seems your bird is fast, but it means nothing if it doesn't have a single flying type attack!" Tara yelled, either oblivious or unconcerned with the beating her Pokemon was taking.
"What are you talking about? I'm the one winning!" Marcus yelled, his eyes focused on the form of Petilil as it struggled to its feet.
"You need to think farther ahead. Petilil Synthesis!" Marcus was astounded, watching the Petilil absorb the sunlight that gracefully fell upon it, healing all of its injuries before his very eyes. Marcus knew he would need a change of tactics if he wanted to win. From the look of Pidgey, he didn't have long to think of one either. It was almost the perfect strategy, continuously zapping your opponents strength while replenishing your own, all to leave the opponent confused and helpless. Wait! Confused! It had suddenly struck him, he needed to get Petilil to become confused. Pidgey was so focused on the fight that Marcus knew it would never use the move he wanted it to on its own, but would it listen to him either?
"Pidgey! Swagger!" Pidgey only looked at him quizzically, its mind trying to decide whether or not to do it or not. Sure, he was its enemy, but he hadn't exactly treated it badly. Giving Pidgey a look that almost seemed pleading, Pidgey seemed to give in, looking back at Petilil with a small nod. So small, that it was almost uncaught. Marcus, unsure of what Pidgey had actually done, watched as it circled the Petilil, cries filling the air -- cries different from the earlier ones of battle -- leaving Petilil leaning to the sides, almost as if it were dizzy.
"You must be new to be relying on confusion to win, but I guess a little risk never hurt anyone! Petilil add on the damage with another Leech Seed!" Tara commanded, her Pokemon dizzily walking the field, falling to the ground before the attack had even begun.
"What's life without a little risk! Tackle Pidgey!" Marcus and Pidgey had been so focused on capitalizing on the small chance of victory that neither had noticed them playing the traditional roles of trainer and Pokemon. The two in perfect sync as the Pidgey flew circles around Petilil steadly damaging Petilil at a rate faster than what the Leech Seed could replenish. It didn't take that much longer for Pidgey to emerge victorious. Barely, but still a victory all the same. The two trainer's returning their Pokemon as they issued praise for their performance.
"That was a good battle!" Tara beamed, walking away so suddenly that it was almost like she had never met him before. The Pokemon Center was probably a priority, but the next town was a little ways away and who knew how many more trainers would try to get Marcus to battle them between his current location and his destination.
Resuming his walk towards the town, he couldn't help but note how important Potions would be in the future.
I need like fifty
, he thought to himself as he walked. Counting each and every step as a blessing, his eyes falling upon no trainers or Pokemon. Deciding to stop for a little while, Marcus quickly summoned Spheal in the usual flash of white light, its spherical body rolling around his feet happily. "Okay Spheal, we need to train, so I'll throw rocks and you blast them with a Water Gun okay?" The Pokemon nodded in understanding, or at least it looked like a nod, more of a roll but that is beside the point. Marcus had spent a good length of time doing that, giving Pidgey the chance to rest. Each and every rock Marcus had found to toss into the air had been sprayed with a jet of water. It seemed weak compared to pro's but it was to be expected, but he couldn't deny that with each use it was getting steadily better. Slowly, but steadily.
"Wow, that one went pretty far!" Marcus marveled upon his Pokemon's most recent usage of Water Gun as the rock he tossed was sent flying into the closely grouped trees that surrounded the route. It seemed that nothing could go wrong.... except for sudden battles, wild Pokemon attacks, catching diseases, or sudden death. Other than that, nothing could go wrong. Everything was going great for him so far, so quiet, so peaceful.
