United States District Court, S.D. New York
September 24, 2004.
CURTIS MEDLEY, Petitioner,
U.S., Respondent.
Petitioner Curtis Medley pleaded guilty on June 22, 1998,
before the Hon. Sonia Sotomayor, to whom the case was then
assigned, to participating in a racketeering enterprise through,
inter alia, murder and conspiracy to murder, as well as three
related charges contained in an information, S13 96 Cr. 515. His
plea was entered pursuant to a plea agreement that called for his
cooperation. Absent a motion by the government pursuant to
U.S.S.G. § 5k1.1, stating that Medley had provided substantial
cooperation, the crimes to which he pleaded guilty carried a
penalty pursuant to the Sentencing Guidelines of life
imprisonment. Thereafter, the case was reassigned to my docket.
On February 13, 2001, the government having made a § 5k1.1 motion
and described Medley's cooperation in a letter to the court dated
January 23, 2001, I departed downward from the prescribed life
term and sentenced Medley principally to 20 years' imprisonment.
The judgment was filed on February 14, 2001.
Medley took no appeal, but has submitted a petition, dated
April 5, 2002, and received by the Pro Se Office on April 10,
2002, to set aside his conviction and sentence, alleging that his
plea resulted from ineffective assistance of counsel, denial of
due process, and ignorance of the charges and the consequences of
his plea. He asserts as well that he did not get the opportunity
to review either the presentence investigation report or the government's letter in support of its downward departure
motion pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 5k1.1, and that his lawyer was
ineffective for failing to apply for an additional downward
departure and for failing to file a notice of appeal.
For the reasons set forth below, Medley's application for
relief is denied and the petition is dismissed.
During Medley's plea, Judge Sotomayor established that he was
competent to enter the plea (6/22/98 Tr. 9-10), explained to
Medley and confirmed that he understood each of the four charges
in the information (id. at 15-18), and confirmed as well that
Medley had reviewed the plea agreement with his lawyer and
understood it before he signed it (id. at 24-25). She
explained, and elicited from him that he understood, the possible
penalties he faced, including the mandatory minimum penalty of 10
years for the narcotics charge that was among the crimes to which
he pleaded guilty (id. at 17-21), that he had the right to an
appointed lawyer to represent him at all stages of the case
(id. at 12), that he had the right to proceed to trial before a
jury with the assistance of a lawyer who could cross-examine the
witnesses against him (id.), that he need not testify at such a
trial (id. at 13), and that if he pleaded guilty there would be
no trial (id.). She established also that Medley had had enough of a chance to
discuss the case with his lawyer, that he had discussed the
consequences of pleading guilty, and that he was satisfied with
his lawyer's representation. (Id. at 10) She established as
well that he had read and understood the plea agreement, and that
nothing had been omitted from it. (Id. at 24)
During the allocution, Medley confirmed that he was guilty of
the crimes to which he was pleading guilty, including at least
two murders (id. at 11, 28-29, 33-34), in addition to the
murders Medley either had agreed to participate in or for which
he served as an accessory (id. at 27, 29-32).
Medley faced a mandatory life sentence for the crimes to which
he had pleaded guilty. At the sentencing on February 13, 2001,
Medley's lawyer said that he had reviewed the presentence
investigation report with the defendant and had no objection to
it, a position Medley did not then dispute. (2/13/01 Tr. 4)
Counsel also handed up to the court records reflecting Medley's
efforts while in prison to provide support for his children from
his earnings. (Id. at 8) He also spoke in mitigation, pointing
out that Medley was in poor health and arguing that he was
unlikely to survive the 20-year sentence recommended in the
presentence report. (Id. at 9-10) The government disclosed in
its letter in support of a downward departure motion that
whatever delay there had been in the onset of Medley's cooperation had ended when the lawyer who represented
him at the plea and sentence replaced an earlier lawyer who had
failed to help Medley pursue his cooperation, a view articulated
by Medley's lawyer at the sentencing and not objected to by
Medley (id. at 6).
In addition, the court heard at the time of sentence from Leroy
Matthis Sr. and Sandra Lewis, father and sister, respectively, of
one of the men Medley had pleaded guilty to killing. (Id. at
2-4; see 6/22/98 Tr. at 33-34) When the time arrived for Medley
to exercise his right to address the court before being
sentenced, he addressed the Matthis family, and told them he was
"very deeply sorry and I hope one day you will forgive me."
(2/13/01 Tr. at 10) At the time of sentence, the government made
a motion under U.S.S.G. § 5k1.1, based on facts contained in a
letter of January 23, 2001 from Assistant U.S. Attorney Sharon L.
McCarthy to the court, outlining Medley's cooperation. (Jan. 23,
2001 Letter of Sharon L. McCarthy to the court (the "Government
Letter")) The Government Letter set forth both the positive
aspects of Medley's cooperation, and the problematic aspects. The
latter included that he had lied to minimize and conceal his own
involvement in murders, inculpated others in murders of which he
had no actual knowledge (Government Letter at 2-3, 13-14), and
damaged what remaining credibility he might have had as a witness
by writing a letter threatening to kill a woman with whom he had had a relationship and who had
borne one of his children. Based on the government's motion and
letter, I departed downward and sentenced Medley principally to
240 months imprisonment.
Medley now claims that he entered the plea without
understanding the nature of the charge against him or the
consequences of the plea, including that a murder to which he
pleaded guilty, which he does not specify, was one he did not
commit (Petition at 5-6), that he was not permitted to review
either the presentence investigation report or the government's
letter in support of its downward departure motion (id. at 5),
and that his lawyer failed to provide effective assistance
because he did not move for a downward departure pursuant to
U.S.S.G. § 5k2.0, and failed despite Medley's instruction to file
a notice of appeal (id. at 6).
As set forth below, Medley's petition is without merit, both
procedurally and substantively.
First, the petition is time-barred. As appears above, Medley
was sentenced on February 13, 2001. The judgment was filed on
February 14, 2001. The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty
Act ("AEDPA") requires that a petition such as Medley's, pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, be filed within one year of the date the conviction becomes final, absent exceptions not
here applicable. Because no notice of appeal was filed, Medley's
conviction became final following the last date such a notice
could have been filed ten days after entry of the judgment.
Because that date fell on a Saturday in 2001, Medley's conviction
became final the following Monday, February 26, 2001. Thus,
Medley had until February 26, 2002 to file his petition. The
current petition was not received in the Pro Se Office until
April 10, 2002, more than two months after the expiration of the
one-year limitations period.
To be sure, the one-year period "is a statute of limitations
rather than a jurisdictional bar so that courts may equitably
toll the period." Smith v. McGinnis, 208 F.3d 13, 17 (2d Cir.
2000); see also Green v. United States, 260 F.3d 78, 82 (2d
Cir. 2001). However, the circumstances in which such tolling will
be appropriate are "rare and exceptional," id. (internal
quotation marks omitted), and Medley has presented no facts that
fit either category. That Medley has been acting pro se is not
a "rare" circumstance, and his lawyer's failure to take a direct
appeal is not "exceptional." Cf. Geraci v. Senkowski,
211 F.3d 6, 9 (2d Cir. 2000) (mistake by counsel in calculating time
to file petition does not justify equitable tolling); German v.
United States, 209 F.Supp.2d 288, 293 (S.D.N.Y. 2002)
(inability to understand English and lack of law library in Spanish not "extraordinary"). Further, even if rare and
exceptional circumstances were present here, Medley would have to
show that such circumstances were responsible for his failure to
file on time and that he had "acted with reasonable diligence
during the period he wishes to have tolled." Smaldone v.
Senkowski, 273 F.3d 133, 138 (2d Cir. 2001) (internal quotation
marks omitted); see also Hizbullahankhamon v. Walker,
255 F.3d 65, 75 (2d Cir. 2001). He has made no such showing here.
Moreover, even if the petition were not time-barred, it would
provide no justification for relief on the merits. Medley's claim
that he was unaware of the nature of the charge against him or of
the consequences of his plea, or that he pleaded guilty to an
unspecified murder that he did not commit, all alleged with a
broad brush, is refuted decisively by the record. As set forth
above, Judge Sotomayor painstakingly explained to Medley the
elements of the charges to which he offered to plead guilty, and
the penalties attached to those charges, all of which she
confirmed that he understood, in addition to confirming that he
had read and understood the plea agreement. (See p. 2, supra)
Further, Medley admitted the elements of each of the charges to
which he pleaded guilty (id.), and not only did not deny his
guilt at the time of sentence but also addressed the members of a
victim's family who had come to court to witness the sentence and
who had addressed the court before sentence was imposed (see pp. 3-4, supra). Medley's
statements to the court at the time of his plea, made under oath
and confirmed by his statements at the time of sentence, are not
to be disregarded simply because Medley now may find them
inconvenient. Plea declarations under oath in open court "carry a
strong presumption of verity." Blackledge v. Allison,
431 U.S. 63, 74 (1977); see also United States v. Napolitano,
212 F. Supp. 743, 747 (S.D.N.Y. 1963) (Weinfeld, J.) (defendant's
statements during guilty plea allocution are "solemn
declarations; they are not to be lightly disregarded in favor of
his present self-serving assertion").
Medley's claim that he was not permitted to review the
presentence investigation report is also undone by the record. As
noted above, at the time of sentence counsel stated on the record
that he had reviewed the report with his client and had no
objections to it. (See p. 3, supra) Notably, Medley does not
specify what in the report he now disputes.
As concerns Medley's claim that he did not get a chance to
review the government's letter underlying its downward departure
motion, Medley specifies no issue that he would raise with
respect to that letter, and it is difficult to imagine what issue
he could raise. Although the court has authority to review a
prosecutor's refusal to file a downward departure motion if that
refusal seems to be based on unconstitutional motives, see Wade v. United States, 504 U.S. 181, 185-86 (1992), the
government did move here for a downward departure, and Medley
suggests no suspect motive in connection with whatever
unspecified shortcoming there may have been in the government's
Medley's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on
his attorney's failure to move for a downward departure based on
U.S.S.G. § 5k2.0 or to file a notice of appeal also is devoid of
merit. In order to prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance
of counsel, a petitioner must, first, show that his lawyer's
performance was "below an objective standard of reasonableness"
under "prevailing professional norms," and, second,
"affirmatively prove prejudice," resulting from the alleged
shortfall in counsel's performance. Strickland v. Washington,
466 U.S. 668, 687-88, 693-94 (1984). Medley has shown neither
Under Section 5k2.0 of the Sentencing Guidelines, a court may
depart downward "if the court finds . . . that there exists a[]
. . . mitigating circumstance . . . of a kind, or to a degree,
not adequately taken into consideration by the Sentencing
Commission in formulating the guidelines that . . . should result
in a sentence different from that described" in the guidelines.
Medley specifies no such circumstance here and the record
discloses none. Medley's only hope for avoiding a mandatory life term was his cooperation, and that hope was realized. The
abstract existence of Section 5k2.0 as an additional basis for
departure was of no demonstrated relevance to Medley.
Nor is any weight added to Medley's claim of ineffective
assistance by his assertion that his lawyer failed to file a
notice of appeal. His lawyer has averred that after sentence
Medley was interested in seeking to cooperate further in order
possibly to win a further reduction in his sentence pursuant to
Fed.R. Crim. P. 35, rather than in pursuing an appeal, and his
contemporaneous notes bear out that assertion. (Affidavit of
Roger L. Stavis, Esq., sworn to Oct. 23, 2003) Further, neither
Medley nor the court's own imagination suggests any issues he
might have pursued successfully had an appeal been taken.
For the above reasons, Medley has not shown that his lawyer's
performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness,
or that he suffered any prejudice from that representation. Medley has failed to make even the slightest showing of denial
of a constitutional right, or raised any issue as to which
reasonable jurists might differ. Accordingly, his application to
vacate his sentence is denied, the petition is dismissed, and no
certificate of appealability will issue.

Skip to comments.Keeping the trust is the first order (Minutemen-Simcox)
Posted on 07/28/2006 3:05:06 AM PDT by Anti-Bubba182
The first thing a Minuteman has to learn is to keep his powder dry. The bigger the powder magazine, the bigger the risk of getting it all wet.
This is the lesson that Chris Simcox, the president of the volunteers on the border, who have almost single-handedly aroused the nation's conscience about the tide of illegal immigration, seems to have missed in basic training.
The "powder" is the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Americans have contributed to the Minutemen, who have been exceedingly helpful to the U.S. Border Patrol. The careful, rigorous reporting of Jerry Seper in The Washington Times reveals that the Minutemen management has not made its records of fundraising and finances public in more than a year, raising the hackles and suspicions of several top Simcox aides. Some of them have resigned, protesting the loose management of the money...."[snip]
"... All the more reason that Chris Simcox and his lieutenants must account for the money and explain what the Declaration Alliance, the grandly named political public-relations firm in Herndon, has done with the money it has collected and disbursed in the name of the Minutemen. The Declaration Alliance is the creation of Alan Keyes, the smooth-talking conservative activist and sometime pol, and is meant to provide mass mailings, public relations and "a fully accredited and independent audit." So far no one in the Minutemen management has said how much has been paid to the Declaration Alliance, and what the Minutemen got for the money...."
(Excerpt) Read more at jewishworldreview.com ...
I can imagine the logistics of keeping that group running is a nightmare, especially on a volunteer basis. Unless there is proof of something nefarious I would not be too concerned. This is simply another attack against a group trying to keep America strong.
. . . a few thousand dollars . . .
How much?
I agree with you, if the money went for prostitutes, parties and outragous trips thats one thing. I wish people were as concerned and outraged as to what our goverment does or doesn't do with our money.
"I wish people were as concerned and outraged as to what our goverment does or doesn't do with our money."
Good point, even if these guys paid for prostitutes, parties and trips the money was still better spent dollar for dollar than our taxes.
I think people should be forced to pay their taxes AFTER its deposited. It hits you MUCH harder having to give up that 30% after the money hits your account. Might help people realize just how much money is wasted.
One donor mortgaged his house, others have poured substantial sums into an effort that has yielded very little.
One troubling feature of the past accounting from the Declaration Alliance is that only a nickel out of every dollar goes to the stated purpose of the donation.
If the same processes are in place here, questions about the disposition of the other 95 cents must be asked and answered.
How efficient they are will be followed. They won't be able to hide with fronts.
You hardly seem concerned about the 10+ billion dollars that illegals cost the California taxpayers each year.
Your slip is showing.
Seem concerned? What kind of conservative are you, pining for expressions of my feelings? Should I rend my garments just to convince the likes of you?
I don't pay taxes in California and I have no vote there, they can make themselves into whatever kind of socialist hellhole they want, it effects me little.
"Seem concerned..." That's hilarious. Like I'm supposed to supply a YouTube link to video of me weeping about the Cali taxpayer.
Your slip is showing.
I don't wear a slip, sister.
Did you contribute to the MM fund?
If you're not concerned about CA taxpayers, and didn't contribute to the MM fund, what's the point of your post?
Just curious.
More anti-minutemen rhetoric from the anti-minutemen brigade.
Why of course he did not contribute. He does not want any support for the MMDC published on FreeRepublic, even though there are links to Keyes groups on the front page of FreeRepublic.
See you are too stupid to make ideological decisions or funding decisions on your own and need to be instructed on who to vote for, what to think, whom to associate with, what policies to support especially when your views collide with their Alienist party position.
They are upset because someone gave 120K to Simcox instead of a competing organization. They repeat the same sorry discredited and unsubstantiated attacts on a volunteer organization, yet turn a blind eye to federal policy because they are affiliated closely with the party currently in power.
You can't be a conservative according to this gang.
Dont attempt to think outside the box, have a contrarian opinion, support other than "party approved" thoughts groups ideology on the immigration topic or you will be branded racist and any adverb they can think of at the moment.
They have a pretty baseless foundation to attack from, but can rehash the same arguments for months on end.
Too bad they are losing in the court of public opinion and reality.
If you read the MMDC blog the person who donated his money knows where the cash is and what it's to be used for and has no qualms about it. Competing minutemen/border groups got their panties in a wad about it. As well as you, it seems.
Do some research before rehashing old unsubstantiated undocumented slimes. Especially if you claim to be morally superior to the MSM.
Bringing down Simcox already has taken over a month. It's not as easy taking down a conservative organization as it was a document fraudster like Rather. It's going to take until November, and by then they will have put up alot more fence.
I don't think there are any 990s available for this group--and Simcox will then form ANOTHER group, as he's done already. Lather, rise, repeat...
Pruden's one of the editors at the Washington Times. Nice try.
These questions will continue until they are answered.
Open the books.
And so it goes...on and on and on and on...
New info to read.
You aren't supposed to notice that.
Are you referring to me?
If this claim is referring to me, then I will call you sir a damn liar. You don't know squat about me, you're one of the crew throwing charges at anyone who dare criticize Chris Simcox or his prophet Alan Keyes (or maybe that's the other way around).
Cut out the damn lies.
If you are referring to me, you are now twice the liar you were above.
They are upset because someone gave 120K to Simcox instead of a competing organization.
Is this meant to refer to me? If so, you have lied again.
Are you paid by the lie?
Why doesn't Simcox just put up the MMDC's financial paperwork on the internet? If he's got his jots and tittles straight, wouldn't that end the efforts against him?
i.e., if you dare criticize Simcox, Keyes, et.al., you will be told you must be a member of LaRaza and/or other liberal organizations, and you certainly aren't a real conservative.
They are upset because someone gave 120K to Simcox instead of a competing organization. They repeat the same sorry discredited and unsubstantiated attacts on a volunteer organization, yet turn a blind eye to federal policy because they are affiliated closely with the party currently in power.
Any criticism of Simcox is "discredited and unsubstantiated". However, even if it were true, it wouldn't matter because the federal government is worse.
In other words, whether or not Simcox is a crook is irrelevant because the government isn't doing its job.
You can't be a conservative according to this gang.
Of course, all TRUE conservatives believe in Keyes and Simcox.
Dont attempt to think outside the box, have a contrarian opinion, support other than "party approved" thoughts groups ideology on the immigration topic or you will be branded racist and any adverb they can think of at the moment.
You must approve of Keyes and Simcox, or you are a liberal, and OBLer, a closet member of LaRaza, and an anti-FReeper.
They have a pretty baseless foundation to attack from, but can rehash the same arguments for months on end.
Don't wait for any facts, but insults abound.
Too bad they are losing in the court of public opinion and reality.
More and more conservative columnists are calling for openness from the MCDC, but don't expect this small group of FReepers to do so....expect them to insult those who stand for responsibility and openness.
Chances are if the fund-raising through DA has been going on for less than 18 months, you won't see anything on a 990.
Well, okay, not quite true...let me put it this way. Anything collected for their current tax year has yet to be reported, but anything collected in the previous tax year will be there.
I have seen the posts; may not have been you specifically. But there are many snide remarks about posters being in the minority, not conservative, not representative of Free Republic or conservatives. In general.
"Nobody's trying to take down anybody."
I beg to differ if you read the threads.
Horsefeathers amelia. You are one of the persons I was speaking of.
Are you holding the Federal Govenment to the same standard?
How much is being spent on personell, equipment and training on the NG deployment to the border?
How many NG personnel are actually on the border?
Are you asking for the same openness of the Feds that you are asking of volunteers?
Do you think there will be 6000 NG folks on the border by next tuesday?
4500. Next question?
Where is your call for a GAO audit of the NG Deployment?
I hear crickets.
How many were promised on the border by next tuesday?
How much is being spent?
Where are the reports? Why arent they public. The mission is being paid for with tax money.
6000 and on track. Get a new talking point.
How long are we going to have to wait for disclosure of the GAO audit?
Come on tex. How much is it costing the taxpayers?
Go to their website
5 billion.
All of this, according to Mr. Simcox, will be done at the legally required time in th legally required manner.
You are a hypocrite.
FedGov drops 5 Billion in 3 months and not a peep from you.
No asking for accounting.
One volunteer organization has raised up to 1.6 Mil over 3 years and you want a proctological exam.
I will love to see your posts Tuesday when they report there are not 6K on the border. And that the bulk of the troops are at home station in training and in support roles.
I guess that's a double standard you hold.
Once again for the comprehension impaired.
The MMDC has stated over and over again that they will 'open' their books at the legally required time in the legally required manner.
Nobody's trying to take down anybody.
Piffle, stuff, and nonsense.
You don't like these guys, you disagree with their goals, and would like nothing better than to see them fail.
It's pretty pathetic you can't be at least be honest about that much.
How long are we going to have to wait for disclosure of the GAO audit?
Go to their website
Whose website. There is no GAO audit until someone from congress requests it or there are numerous calls to the fraud line. Otherwise the guard will be back home if they call the deployment off prior to or after the elections.
Crickets. Peeep Peep Peep
Homeland Security is not DoD.
They wont know how much is spent until the funding line for the deployment is at the end of the FY - 1 October.
NG is DoD, not Homeland Security.

To use your Groomaroo, first adjust its movable dial to the setting that corresponds to the length of your pet's hair.
- Turn on
Next, press the power button on the front of your device in order to power it up. Once you've done so, it'll begin to make a quiet whirring noise.
- Groom Pet
Finally, begin to move the device gently up and down your pet's coat in order to detangle and trim it. You can either move it in circles or back and forth—either way will work just as effectively, so go with the method that feels most comfortable or the one your pet seems to enjoy.
- Empty Fur
Your Groomaroo will collect trimmed-off fur within its middle pocket during each grooming session, so all you'll need to do is empty it into a wastebasket or another trash receptacle after you're done.
- Gentle
This grooming tool is super-gentle towards both pets and humans. Not only will its blades never touch your pet's skin directly, they are so harmless that they won't cut your finger if you accidentally touch them yourself.
- Quiet
The whirring noise that this tool makes sounds more like the hum of a furnace than the sound of a blow dryer, so it likely won't scare or irritate your cat or dog. Other people nearby probably won't be bothered by the noise, either.
- Compact
Each Groomaroo is about the size of a hockey puck, so it'll fit in most handbags or your glove compartment if you decide you want to groom your pet somewhere besides your home.
- Cordless
You won't need to connect to a source of power to use your Groomaroo, which means you can use it virtually anywhere. Furthermore, you won't need to worry about an extension cord taking up valuable storage space in your car, bag, or home, either.
Positive Points
- Feels Like Massage
Your Groomaroo will gently massage your dog or cat while trimming its coat, so your pet may even willingly enjoy a grooming session with it instead of begrudgingly putting up with the process.
- Works on Variety of Coats
Since this tool will effectively trim and detangle cat or dog hair, regardless of its length, you might be able to use it for more than one of your pets. As mentioned, each won't take up that much space, so you may choose to get each pet their own grooming device that can be customized for their specific hair length.
- Good for Novice Groomers
If you're an inexperienced groomer, you might find it difficult to work with other grooming tools, such as fine-toothed combs and small pairs of scissors. However, Groomaroo is so simple and safe to operate that even older children will be able to groom pets with it, no matter how much grooming experience they've had.
- Professional Grooming
Instead of using the Groomaroo, you could take your dog or cat to a professional to be groomed. This would require you to spend a lot of time sitting and waiting at appointments, though, along with the time you'd spend driving your pet to them.
- Scissors and Clippers
Some people choose to use small pairs of scissors or clippers to groom a pet's coat, but if you aren't experienced with grooming, or lack hand-eye coordination, you could accidentally cut your pet with these.

Planning your wedding starts with deciding on a realistic budget together. It could be the first time you disagree on priorities and have to work to find a compromise. The…

They're going to be responsible for one of the most beautiful elements of your wedding day, so how do you find a florist who understands what wedding flowers you want, and what suits your budget?
Image courtesy of JK Photography
Start searching
As soon as you get engaged, chances are you'll start flicking through various magazines and books and looking online at some fantastic wedding flowers. Start making a list of the flowers and designs you like, and also of florists whose work you admire. Local directories, confetti's supplier listings, and wedding magazines are all great ways of finding florist contacts in your local area. Your reception venue may also have a list of recommended florists. Choose the most promising three or four florists in your area and arrange an appointment to see each one.
What should I ask them?
When meeting your florist, take along as much information as you can to help them understand exactly what you're looking for. Pictures of flowers are helpful, as are photographs of your venue and even fabric swatches of your dress or your bridesmaids' dresses. You'll also need to give the florist an idea of your budget, and your wedding date so they will know what flowers are in season. Arm yourself with a notepad and ask the florist the following questions:
A good florist…
A good florist should be able to take your ideas and your budget and suggest something that you can afford and that will fit with the style of your wedding. If they keep encouraging you to spend more, they're not right for you. Equally, you have to allow a florist to be creative, so be sure to listen to any alternative ideas and suggestions they may have.
As with all suppliers at your wedding, you also need to make sure that you get on well with your florist. Some personalities simply clash, and this isn't ideal when you're planning a wedding. You need to feel that your florist understands your ideas, and that you can totally trust them when you're feeling stressed in the run-up to the big day!
Book up
If you're happy with your choice, make your booking. This can be as far in advance as you like -florists tend to get booked up, especially over the summer, so it's good to get your name down asap! You're likely to need to meet and discuss flower choices around three months before the wedding.
There is lots of great advice about wedding flowers on Confetti!

Excerpt from The Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 44: A Magazine of Literature, Science, Art, and Politics At the south end of Block Island is a line of grand cliffs from one to two hundred feet high. Some of them are grass-grown to the very beach- but most of them have a rough surface of clay and sand worn into enormous furrows by the rain. They are of irregular shape, some spreading out into wide plateaus on the top, others being merely a sharp point of land running out between two broad ravines. At sunset, in summer, the mists from the ocean often gather slowly in these ravines, and curl upward like colossal smoke-wreaths from subterranean homes. Gradually they spread over the island, until all road-ways, gates, and fences are obliterated, and men grope their way about by the sense of feeling. A person unacquainted with the labyrinthine paths of the island is as helpless in one of these thick mists as in a blinding snow-storm. It was on such a night as this thai Massy Sprague's daughter, Toinette, was cautiously groping her way home from the cliffs. Toinette had been lying on the cliffs all the afternoon. There is a great fascination in lying flat, face down, on these cliffs, and looking over the edge, where the earth seems to be only an inch thick under your shoulders. Somebody said once that these cliffs looked as if they had been broken off from some other side, as a loaf of cake is broken into jagged and unequal parts, with the crust left projecting here and there. Perhaps a giant did it some day, and threw his half of the loaf into the sea. But no such speculations as these had occupied the mind of Toinette this June afternoon, as she had lain with her elbows propped firmly in the knotted grass, and her chin resting on the palms of her hands, looking down on the beach below. White-sailed ships had come and gone in the blue offing, sailing south and sailing north, but Toinette had taken no note of them. Her eyes were riveted on the brown sand one hundred feet below her. Across this beach Ramby Karns drove his father's cows home every night, and Toinette and Ramby had a system of signals carefully arranged and thoroughly understood, by which they communicated with each other at this point upon the shore. It would seem as if two people living on an island only eight miles long and three wide need never be driven to establishing signal stations in mid-air, to reach each other.

text: Awhile ago I installed dTunes from Cydia and got a couple songs from it. I put those songs into my iTunes library and never had a problem. Until now. I restored my iPod because it wouldnt connect to my wifi network (turns out I just had to reset my network settings ). After that I synced all my songs, games, and movies back. But the songs that I got from dTunes wouldnt sync back. All iTunes said was they "could not be synced". So I installed a few patches from cydia thinking they would help. They didnt do anything. I tried manually syncing the songs, but they dont sync! Also, theres a ! mark next to each of the songs from dtunes. Is there anyway I can get the songs back on my iPod?

Ancaster's Brad Martin placed sixth in the halfpipe finals of the first event of the 2010 LG Snowboard FIS World Cup in Cardrona, New Zealand. Mercedes Nicoll of Whistler, B.C., placed eighth in the ladies finals.
"This result for Brad is great. He has not been on snow since June," said Tom Hutchinson, head coach of the Canadian Halfpipe Snowboard team.
"He has been working hard on developing new tricks on the trampoline and getting in good physical shape for this important season. This contest shows that Brad is right on track to medal at Cypress Mountain for the Olympics."
"Mercedes did very well in a tough field of play. The riders at this event are basically the ones we expect to see at the Olympics, both for women and men," continued Hutchinson.
The first World Cup event of the season drew the World's best riders to New Zealand. The riders showed off their latest tricks developed this summer in a Superpipe with walls elevated at 22-foot in the air, the same size to be used at Cypress Mountain during the Olympic Winter Games.
It was no surprise to see American Shaun White, the defending Olympic gold medallist, win the men's event. White scored an impressive 47.1 points for his first run performance. He was joined on the podium by Switzerland's Iouriin Podladtchikov (44.4) in second position and Japanese rider Kazuhiroin Kokubo (43.2) in third place. Martin scored 38.4 points.
In the ladies finals, the defending World Champion and Halfpipe World Cup defending champion, Jiayu Liu of China, took home the gold medal, scoring 44.1 points with an impressive first run. She was followed by Americans Kelly Clark (40.5) and Gretchen Bleiler (37.1) who took home the silver and bronze medals. Nicoll racked up 30.7 points.
The event finals went underway despite tough weather conditions. The strong and gusty winds created many delays throughout the day and made it challenging for the riders as they jump over 20 feet in the air as they display their top tricks.
The 2010 LG Snowboard FIS World Cup now makes its way to South America as the world's best snowboardcross riders will merge at Chapelco, Argentina on Sept. 12. The Snowboardcross events will showcase world class excitement as Canada's top riders will battle for a coveted berth on the Olympic snowboard team.

How to Remove the Hard Drive From a Dell Computer
Hard drives generally have a lifespan of one to five years, depending on how much they are used. It is still never good news to find that your hard drive has died. Fortunately, you can purchase a replacement hard drive for almost every Dell computer online (see Resources). Dell computers can run hard drives as small as a few gigabytes (GB), and as large as several hundred GB depending on the computer's make and model.
Things You'll Need
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- ESD wrist strap
For Dell Laptops
Step 1
Power down your Dell laptop, and fold down the LCD screen. Disconnect the AC adapter from its socket on the laptop. Place the laptop face down and remove the battery from its compartment and set it aside.
Step 2
Locate the hard drive compartment on the bottom casing of your laptop. The location the hard drive varies from laptop to laptop. For more specific information as to your hard drive's location on your laptop, refer to your computer's service manual.
Step 3
Remove the two Phillips-head screws securing the hard drive inside its compartment. Grasp the face of the hard drive, and then slide it out of its compartment and set it aside.
Step 4
Slide the replacement drive into your Dell laptop's drive compartment until it is fully seated inside the drive compartment. You will hear a faint click when the connectors on the back of the hard drive connect with the motherboard's data and power connectors. Replace the hard drive's retaining screws.
Step 5
Place the battery back inside its compartment. Flip the laptop over. Re-connect the AC adapter and all peripheral devices to the laptop.
For Dell Desktops
Step 1
Shut down your desktop, disconnect the power cable from its socket and remove all external and peripheral devices from the computer. Rotate the computer so the back panel of the desktop is facing you.
Step 2
Lay the desktop on its left side, remove the two locking screws from the upper and lower right-hand corners, and then slide the side access panel away from the laptop. Some Dell side access panels are secured by a locking latch on the back panel of the desktop.
Step 3
Locate the hard drive inside your desktop on the front panel of the computer. Disconnect the power and data cables from the back of the hard drive. Remove the Phillips-head screws securing the hard drive inside the drive compartment on the front panel of the desktop.
Step 4
Place the new hard drive inside the hard-drive compartment. Align the screw holes on the hard drive with the screw holes on the drive compartment. Replace the retaining screws so the replacement drive is securely fastened to the drive compartment. Connect the power and data cables to the back of the new hard drive.
Step 5
Replace the side access panel, and replace any Phillips-head screws to hold the side access panel in place. Place the desktop vertically and reconnect the power cable and peripheral devices.
Tips & Warnings
- Use an ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) strap to prevent against electrical damage to your computer caused by static electricity.

In the hub of the greatest bastion of major league sports (New England), John has been lucky enough to work as a professional sports announcer in the region for the last 25 years. Today he announces charity hockey games all over North America for the Boston Bruins Alumni, U.S. Olympic Alumni Hockey Teams, (for both men and women), and with members of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens and National Hockey League Alumni.He is recognized as one of the premiere "show" hockey announcers in North America, having called over 3,500 sporting events (including three historic intercontinental Friendship Cup series between the Gazprom Export Hockey Team, Team USA and Team Canada). In 2012, he called a game between the Russian Arctic Hockey and the Boston Bruins Alumni - and was given only 15 minutes notice before the game! He served as the host for Brad Park's Be A Bruin cable televsion series in 2006. He called the Winter Legends Classic at Fenway Park with Jack Edwards in early January of 2010, served as the bench interviewer for the Legends Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium in December of 2015, and called two Canadian Legends Winter Classic hockey games between the Canadiens and Bruins Alumni in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Horrigan webcasted the play-by-play for two exhibition games between the Boston Bruins and the New York Islanders at the TD Garden in September of 2010. John also served as the announcer for a series of fundraising hockey games in Nantucket involving members of the Gold Medal-winning U.S. Olympic Women's Hockey Team and other Olympians on Nantucket from 2007 - 2012 ("Charity on Ice")
Horrigan also announces charity basketball, softball and flag football games for the New England Patriots Alumni, which is a team comprised of both retired and current players. Since 1994 he has worked with players from all 6 of New England's Super Bowls. John has also worked with alumni members of the New York Giants.
John is a seasoned veteran of comedy basketball, having announced and performed professionally in over 600 games (since 1993) around the globe (Kuwait, the Caribbean, Canada) for the Harlem Rockets, Harlem Wizards, Harlem Magicians, Harlem Hoopsters and currently with the Court Jesters comedy basketball team. In 2013, he called a Comedy Basketball All Star Game at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts featuring members of Harlem Globetrotters, Harlem Rockets, Harlem Wizards and Court Jesters
He has called over 500 football games in his career and spent 19 seasons in the Eastern Football League with the Randolph Oilers. John called the historic Moscow Giants / Marlboro Shamrocks exhibition game in 1990 (after which some Soviet players defected to the United States), the transcontinental minor league football championship game in Canada (just after a moderate earthquake) between the Randolph Oilers and the Ottawa Bootleggers and the Minor League Football Alliance Championship between the Marlboro Shamrocks and the Racine Raiders. He called the Bridgewater Gladiators inaugural game in 2009.
John recently retired after 25 years of calling Thanksgiving Day High School football games for the Dedham/Norwood rivalry and more recently for the Medfied/Dover-Sherborn rivalry.
As a producer and host of the cable television program Atlantic Boxing Television, John announced over 200 professional and amateur boxing matches (ringside or as the ring announcer). He was the final boxing announcer in the old Boston Garden in 1995 where he called the Golden Gloves National Championship and he also called the 1994, 1995 and 1996 Golden Gloves New England Regional Championships at Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Horrigan called many of "Hurricane" Peter McNeeley's fights leading up to his match with Mike Tyson.
Horrigan produced and announced the 1995 NCAA Fencing Championship at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts and later turned it into a cable television series entitled En Garde.
John was a pit reporter on the auto racing cable television series Speedway Heat from 1994 through 1997 and later called seven Arthritis Foundation Mini Grand Prix races from 2000 - 2006.
Since 2001, he has called the Peabody Police vs. Northshore Oldtimers Labor Day Baseball Game to benefit the Jimmy Fund.
He has hosted seven Millis Firefighters' Musters.
Horrigan now partners (for the 21st year) with Celebrity Marketing Inc. by serving as their host for Bourque Golf (2001-2016), Kevin Faulk Celebrity Softball (2007-2010), the Boston Celtics Shamrock Golf Classic (2008-2009), Jason Varitek Celebrity Putt-Putt (2006-2009), The Annual Boston Bruins Foundation Golf Tournament (2008-2016), New England Sand Sculpting Festival (2006-2008) and Troy Brown Celebrity Bingo (2004-2008).

· With the Stanley Cup in Stowe, Vermont along with legendary referee and NHL player Paul "Stewie" Stewart and 3-time Stanley Cup Finalist (and 1970 Stanley Cup Champion) defenseman Rick Smith.
· With the Stanley Cup before a Freedom Cup game in December of 2007. I was ailing that day.
· Calling a game for the "Be A Bruin" television series in July of 2006.
· Calling a game for Brad Park's "Be A Bruin" television series in 2006.
· With hockey legend Bobby Orr
· With 22-year veteran Hall of Fame Defenseman Ray Bourque at his annual golf tournament in 2009.

· With young Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask
· With Boston Bruins former coach and captain (whose number 24 has been retired by the Boston Bruins) Terry "Taz" O'Reilly. Terry is a legend who epitomizes what the Boston Bruins are all about - hustle, heart and soul. I remember talking to him on a bus ride about economical and political matters and thinking that I was conversing with a college professor (and not a former NHL gunfighter). O'Reilly would take on anyone in the National Hockey League during his playing days, but only if the terms were with honor and valor. He never jumped anyone. He always gave the other guy an even chance to fight him, even though Terry would eventually kick his ass. Behind us is super sports marketing agent and outstanding goaltender Cleon Daskalakis. Cleon has been so good to me over the years and has helped my career out substantially (since 1993!). He is a spectacular goaltender and all around athlete who really understands what "show hockey" is all about. He reminds me of the great showman "Rainbow" (of the Harlem Rockets, Harlem Hoopsters and Court Jesters) who is mentioned later on this page. They both "get it" in regard to what sports entertainment should be.
· This is one of my prized autographed photos. Legendary official Paul Stewart is ready to go with Bruins' captain Terry 'Taz' O'Reilly. Stewart took on three Bruin heavyweights that night (and lost all 3 battles): O'Reilly, Stan Jonathan and Al Secord. It was a homecoming for the kid from Jamaica Plain and it was a testimony to his willingness to take on three of the toughest guys in the league.
· With Boston Bruins All-Star Right Winger and former captain (whose number 16 really should be retired by the Boston Bruins - C'mon Charlie, Pete and Donny) Rick "Nifty" Middleton. Nifty is my new boss as President of the Boston Bruins Alumni.
Along with me and my fat face is two-time Stanley Cup finalist, former president of the Boston Bruins Alumni and currently Director of Development for the Boston Bruins Foundation Bob Sweeney. "Swoop" has really helped out my broadcast career and he is a great event coordinator. He's brought alot of goodwill back to the organization.
· With one of the toughest Boston Bruin players ever: Left Winger Jay Miller. He has some awesome stories from his days as Wayne Gretzky's 'bodyguard'.
· Another one with gladiator Jay Miller. Boy could this guy throw 'em. Holy....

· With Baseball Hall of Fame President and friend Jeff Idelson. I'm lobbying to put Ray Bourque (who is in the Hockey Hall of Fame) into the BBHOF. Jeff has brought the Hall into the 21st century and has made it into one of America's greatest museums.
· Again, with Baseball Hall of Fame President and friend Jeff Idelson. I'm lobbying to put Tom Brady into the BBHOF. Again, no dice.
· Every year my brother Jeff and I travel to Cooperstown to see our friends Jeff and Brad.
· Peter Nash, formerly of the rap group "3rd Bass" (like me, a member of SABR) is an expert on early 20th century baseball and has recreated a turn-of-the-century bar in Boston ("Third Base") that currently resides in Boston. He produced a documentary that included my brother's song Tessie.
I am an avid 19th century baseball researcher, statistician and computer game designer. I am also an avid professional hockey, basketball and football researcher, statistician and computer game designer. I have been told that I have a photographic memory, but I can't remember who said it.
· Shooting the breeze with Paul Jones, Mark Quigley and Peter Nash, formerly of the rap group "3rd Bass" (like me, a member of SABR). This photo was taken in 2005 at Pete's "Third Base" turn-of-the-century replica bar in Cooperstown, NY. It was later moved to McGreevy's Pub in Boston.
· Presenting an autographed football to Peter Nash that features signatures of players from all six of the New England Patriots' Super Bowls
· Holding Hall of Fame pitcher Christy Mathewson's glove.
· Pete Rose is not in Baseball's Hall of Fame, but the bat he used to break Ty Cobb's all-time hit total of 4,191 sure as hell is.
· With my brother Jeff holding Hall of Fame outfielder Ted Williams' bat that he used to hit .406 in 1941.
· The booth at Memorial Field in Randloph, Massachusetts where I spent 17 years as an announcer for the Randolph Oilers of the Eastern Football League.
· A contrived smile for what I thought would be my final game (after 17 seasons) in the Eastern Football League for the Randolph Oilers. I later came out of retirement for one game for the expansion team Bridgewater Gladiators' inaugural game.
· In the booth at Bridgewater-Raynham High School prior to the inaugural game for the Bridgewater Gladiators of the Eastern Football League. I had retired from the EFL in 2006, but came out for this one special game in 2009.
· Big Hair, Bad Attitude - just prior to kick-off of an Eastern Football League game in Marlboro, Mass. in 1991.
· The program for the three Thursday nights in October of 1996 when I called over 60 professional boxing matches. Someone told me that it is probably a Guiness World Record. I'm not sure, but Micky Ward and Peter McNeeley were on that fight card.
· ESTIMATED GAMES BROADCASTED (pro and amateur): 3300
· BUSIEST DAY: June 9, 1995 - I gave a lecture in the morning, announced a New England Patriot's alumni softball game in the afternoon and went on stage in a lead role ("Run For Your Wife") that evening. I have also called four hockey games within 48 hours and three football games within 24 hours. With the Harlem Rockets we played three games on three South Atlantic islands in one day. In all of the events that I've broadcasted, I've served as producer and statistician. Many times reporters request my statistics as the official game record. On September 14th-16th, 2001 I announced five Harlem Rockets basketball games in 4 states in 48 hours. On September 21st-23rd, 2001 I announced a football, basketball, hockey and softball game within 48 hours. On April 21st, 2007, I had a lecture on the Great Brant Rock Fire in Marshfield, MA at 2:00 PM, I announced a New England Patriots' Celebrity Basketball game in Fiskedale, MA at 7:30 and went on the air with Spooky Southcoast Radio from Dover Massachusetts at 10:00 PM. One more - on Saturday, February 15th, 1986, I announced three separate high school hockey games at three separate arenas for three separate local cable access television productions in Massachusetts: 1:00 face-off at Ryan Arena in Watertown, 5:00 face-off at West Suburban Arena in Natick and 8:00 face-off at Babson Arena in Wellesley.
· TODAY: I work
as the Boston Bruins Alumni hockey public address announcer and as a public
address announcer for the New England Patriots Alumni basketball, flag football
and softball games. I also work with other alumni of other pro organizations
(MLB, NHL, NFL and NBA alumni, U.S. Olympians) as their public address
announcer for hockey, football, basketball, comedy basketball, baseball and
softball events. I currently work as an itinerant public address announcer for
the Court Jesters Comedy
Basketball team. Comedy basketball has allowed me to travel extensively.
With the Harlem Rockets, Court
Jesters and Harlem Hoopsters,
I have travelled all over America, the Middle East and the Carribean including
Kuwait, Curacao, Seba, St. Martin and St. Eustatius. At ball games I coordinate
the introduction of the event, broadcast the game, keep statistics, run the
scoreboard and play music and organ blasts to give it the "pro
ballgame" effect. My apologies if it sounds arrogant and please
excuse my frankness, but I truly believe that I've no peers in this
industry. I am the best at what I do. I have worked at my craft very hard and
travelled hundreds of thousands of miles to games around the globe and worked
at my craft. I invented "show hockey" announcing, culled from
my extensive training as a comedy basketball and show basketball announcer. I
would be a great match for the N.B.A., N.F.L., M.L.B. or N.H.L. given my
ability to manipulate my vocal inflection, annunciation, resonance, timbre and
