W- What ?! ............... Oh , sure ! :
" .....Later. I parked my car in the Wardour Street underground car park next to the Intrepid Fox pub. I walked past the Marquee Club towards Brewer Street, and looked up at the beautiful big half-moon windows of my old apartment on the top floor at the corner. I felt comfortable in Soho because I had once lived there; I felt comfortable because the Marquee Club was where the Who finally proved themselves at our residency there at the start of our career five years earlier in 1964. This wasn’t Soho, this was my home, my manor. And yet as I turned the corner down Old Compton Street towards Frith Street my heart began to pump. I reminded myself, in a familiar mantra, this is futile. To feel fear is pointless. There is nothing to fear. I am a man now. No one can hurt me any more. In thirty minutes time The Who were to play their new rock opera Tommy to the press at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, our first Live performance before the critics. As I crossed Dean Street I imagined I heard a voice shouting ‘Judas’. Did I fancy myself to be Bob Dylan? I realized someone was shouting ‘Trousers’, one of my nicknames used by insiders. I looked towards the voice and saw a small group of men I knew to be a travelling party of fans of the band from the Marquee days, led as ever by a bombastic music journalist, already a little drunk, who I had always regarded as an ally. He would not catch my eye. I did not want them to join me on the last steps of my journey, carrying my guitar, on my way to face an inquisition of sorts. I didn’t want them to catch any scent of fear; fear I could not allow myself to feel. One of them spotted me and ran to catch up with me. Breathless, smelling of alcohol, he asked me how I felt. I said I felt all right. He told me not to worry, even if everyone was saying that Tommy was sick, it was controversial, a little controversy never hurt anyone in show business. "

You want to talk disturbing? I find you head and shoulders above anyone who has ever posted on these boards in that regard. Send some more pictures of yourself from 1986 to people over the internet that you will never meet. Oh and continue to call yourself "hot" in the process. Talk about a big head. LOL. I find it disturbing especially when you send topless shots of yourself to complete strangers. Even if those pictures are you, and are current, it's no great shakes in my dept. Anyway, just do your thing and leave me out of it. I want nothing to do with you. Your fascination with me and my family is unhealthy and considered stalking by us.
Have a nice day, fruit loop.

Bloomberg Press
Israel Denies Plan to Attack Iran Nuclear Facility
By David Rosenberg
“ Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Israel denied a newspaper report that it's preparing a nuclear attack against Iranian uranium- enrichment plants and said it remains committed to ending a dispute over Iran's nuclear program through diplomacy.
The denial followed a report in the London-based Sunday Times today, citing unidentified people in the Israeli military, that Israel plans to use nuclear ``bunker-buster'' bombs against the Natanz site in northern Iran. The Mossad, Israel's intelligence service, predicts Iran will be able to produce nuclear weapons within two years, the newspaper said.
Should such a plan be carried out, it would be the first use of nuclear weapons since the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Japan in 1945. The United Nations Security Council last month imposed sanctions on Iran, through resolution 1737, for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. Iran says its enrichment program is designed to produce nuclear power not weapons.
``Israel is 100 percent committed to the international effort to achieve a diplomatic solution and supports the full and expeditious implementation of UN resolution 1737,'' Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said by telephone today. Israel ``formally denies'' the newspaper report, he said.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini, speaking at a weekly briefing with reporters, said in response to the Sunday Times report that any ``attacker would quickly regret their act,'' the official Islamic Republic news Agency, or Irna, said on its Web site.
Arms Control
Emily Landau, director of the arms control and regional security program at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, said that while Israel hopes diplomacy will bring a suspension of Iran's program, officials have hinted at military action in what she called ``deterrent statements.''
``Israel is basically still hoping for some kind of diplomatic outcome to this crisis while trying to keep a low profile,'' Landau said by telephone. ``It shouldn't surprise us that Israel will also attempt to deter this danger, but I don't think we need to make leap between deterrent statements and plans to make an attack.''
Israel's concerns about the Iranian program have grown since Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for the Jewish state to be ``wiped off the map'' several times in the past year. The president On Jan. 3 said Iran will start producing nuclear fuel on an industrial scale soon, without elaborating.
Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to attack the concrete-shielded facility in Natanz, to the south of Tehran, using low-yield bunker-busters equal to 1/15th the power of Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, the Sunday Times said.
Nuclear Reactor
Israel is also considering facilities near Isfahan and Arak as targets and its pilots are flying as far as Gibraltar, a 2,000-mile round-trip, to prepare, the newspaper said. Israel carried out air strikes against an Iraqi nuclear reactor in Osirak in 1981, the Sunday Times said.
Iran in November test-fired a Shahab-3 ballistic missile capable of traveling 2,000 kilometers, a range that would put Israel's major cities within reach.
Hosseini told reporters today that his country had no plans to suspend cooperation with the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency in spite of the Security Council resolution, Irna reported.

Someone had a clump of my hair at the back of my head held so tightly that it felt it would tear away. My eyes were stinging and I tried to rub them, but my torturer held my hands together easily behind my back, and plunged my face into the water again. Again and again, whenever I could take in enough air I gasped and cursed, I hate you, I hate you. After a while my defiance ebbed with the last suds spiralling down the plughole. I lay naked in the bottom of the bathtub, weeping, a pathetic six year old moaning for my mother. Suddenly I was taken up in a warm towel and rubbed so briskly I began to panic again, I vomited one last mixture of soapy water and bile over my captor. With that I was hurled back again into the tub as it was filled with cold water. "

I, too, was prepared to dismiss Judge Seidlin as a judicial buffoon on no better evidence than heavily edited TV "news" clips. The intelligent position, however, is to defer to the judgment of those such as Josh who have practiced before His Honor. Any of you who have had direct experience of an event and then seen it distorted on television or in the newspaper should understand this (not to mention you chronic calumniators of the "mainstream media"). |

Nah, no needling was intended. We figured that folks like LJ would want them. It's sad that the one photo has been turned into an object of derision. Makes me pissed.

Looks like Virgie won on appeal. And the dead son's body might be moved. |

Thank you for deferring judgment. I can assure you Judge Seidlin did not change much at all for the cameras. He has been this way since I first appeared in front of him almost 18 yrs ago. A very emotional, friendly, and entertaining judge whom usually gets it right. Unlike many of the judges I appear before, he n ever forgot where he came from and how difficult the attys job is. |

"Where he came from"?...Dude's been a judge since he was 28...right?...which means at best, he spent 2, maybe 3 years in private practice...How informed can he be with respect to the real world dynamics of his procedural rulings?...My experience is, and no offense, that if a plaintiff's attorney is singing his praises, then he spends less time on the legal issues and more time bullshittin'...and is no stickler for abiding by the rules of evidence...that's my experience |

Down here we call that "kibitzing". But seriously, like a trained monkey, any law school graduate, let alone judge, can recite, apply, and understand the Rules of Evidence, the Rules of Civil Procedure, the Rules of Criminal Procedure, Probate Rules etc., The skilled judge or lawyer for that matter, understands the rules, but more importantly, understands they are only the tools to navigate to a judicially sound opinion. It is the art of applying the rules to a specific set of facts, and coming to a well reasoned decision/remedy that separates a skilled lawyer/judge from someone who simply has a plaque on their wall.

always defer to the local counsel's experience (unless he's your opponent)

I think it is kind of refreshing to see a judge show such emotion. Along the lines that jb said, it shows a human side to the guy -- not merely a fuzz-head, legal eagle that knew a Senator or had a good golf game.
I have been before a lot of different judges and magistrates, and some are great and some are absolute pricks, some are good at making decisions and others cannot decide anything, some are totally unbiased and others are pure political animals.
The only type of judge I don't care for is one that doesn't listen and won't let you make your argument because he/she is too busy illuminating the masses with their brilliance. But those are few and far between.
