Well, here's a couple of winners Siblings face child porn charges Pair baby-sat victims, Wise County sheriff says; images found 03:34 PM CST on Friday, March 24, 2006 By PAUL MEYER / The Dallas Morning News A Wise County brother and sister remained in jail Friday, accused of using baby-sitting jobs for friends to produce child pornography. Phyllis G. Riedle, 48, and her half brother, Kevin Riedle, 41, were living together in an incestuous relationship and possessed a large cache of child pornography on a computer, sheriff's officials say. "It's a sick case," Wise County Sheriff David Walker said. Detective Mike Neagle said Friday that investigators expected to get more calls from parents whose children had spent time with the Riedles. From photographs on the computer, investigators identified two local children as victims – an 18-month-old girl who had been sexually assaulted and a 7-year-old girl who was photographed nude. Ms. Riedle baby-sat both children. "We think that the brother and sister were both there at the time," Sheriff Walker said. Ms. Riedle turned herself in to police Wednesday on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child and was booked into the Wise County Jail. Her bail has been set at $150,000. Sheriff Walker said she confessed to investigators. Officers also found photos of a 14-year-old female relative on the computer. Mr. Riedle was arrested March 1. He faces four charges of possession and promotion of child pornography. He remains in jail, with bail set at $300,000. "Since then, the investigation has continued to grow humongous," Sheriff Walker said. It began 18 months ago when Dallas police received a tip that Mr. Riedle had child pornography on his computer, Sheriff Walker said. Mr. Riedle worked as a long-distance truck driver and carried the laptop on trips, transmitting through wireless connections at truck stops. About a month ago, Dallas police contacted their Wise County counterparts to let them know Mr. Riedle might be living in Runaway Bay, a small town on the southern shore of Lake Bridgeport. The brother and sister were living with Ms. Riedle's two children. The children are in Child Protective Services' custody, Sheriff Walker said. An analysis of the computer hard drive produced thousands of digital images of child pornography, including children engaged in sex acts with adults. "This does have pictures of what looks to be 12- to 18-month-olds all the way up to teenagers in various stages of sexual assault," Sheriff Walker said. "It is a bad, bad deal. Quite honestly, I hope I and my investigators never have to see anything like this again." There were also several hundred video clips. Investigators are continuing to look for other possible victims but say they believe most of the pictures and videos came from third parties. "The majority of images and videos we believe came through the Internet," Sheriff Walker said. The FBI, Dallas police and Tarrant and Wise counties' district attorney's offices have been helping in the investigation. "If there's anybody familiar with Kevin and Phyllis Riedle ... we want to hear from them," Sheriff Walker said.

Yeah, I think Siouxsie Sioux would probably give her OK for that. Just not sure what it would sound like?

You mean he swears a lot?

Landy LOS ANGELES, Californai (AP) -- Eugene Landy, the psychologist who gained notoriety for his controversial treatment of and control over Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson, died March 22 of respiratory complications from lung cancer in Honolulu, said his longtime colleague, William Flaxman. He was 71. Landy pioneered what he called "24-hour therapy," in which he worked with patients for long, uninterrupted periods. His show business clientele included rock musician Alice Cooper and actors Richard Harris and Rod Steiger. He was best known, however, for his treatment of Wilson, the troubled founding member of the iconic California surf band... (see link for more)

My suggestion to folks who ask me about my car (even while I'm driving, people will roll down their windows to ask!) is that if they want to know more, they should try renting one for a weekend (locally, Enterprise Rent-A-Car offers a Prius) and just drive it around like you normally would any other car that you own. People's driving habits and needs differ of course, so I'm only able to answer their questions on gas mileage, how it handles, and the always "Do you have to plug it in?" question. Also, for non-hybrid cars, I rented an '06 Toyota Camry while in New Mexico and that was one of the smoothest riding cars I've ever driven and the mileage on that was pretty good too - about 35-38 mpg.

You're right - not on that Honda Hybrid are you're gonna come out ahead because it's not a true hybrid and gets a paltry 25 mpg. Still, for gas mileage, reliability (most problem-free), customer satisfaction ("would you buy this car again?"), and ageing more gracefully (less problems as they age), I'll stick with my Prius'. The only problem that I've had with my car was that the navigation disc wouldn't read every once in a while but, the disc was from 2001 and probably was getting worn... but that's it! These cars have lifted an enormous "worry-weight" off of my shoulders.

I have two. What would you like to know? Manufacturing technologies and real costs. Well, your statement is a little "Jack Webb" for me to understand, but, Erik is correct about his reading that it can take about 6 years to recover initial costs (Consumer Reports April '06), but in my many years of reading CR, they have a tendency to be pretty conservative when it comes to certain issues - gas mileage would be one of those areas. Of course, they try to come up with what they think an "average" driver may do and so there's some leeway there. Anyway, the six years is based on paying full list price and getting only 44 mpg in an '06 plus a few other things. All I know is what I've experienced so far for the past few years and that is that I've yet to have a problem with either of them - heat nor cold doesn't affect it's starting or driving - and besides the fact that I'm currently averaging 49.6 mpg (and climbing) and only have to fill my tank at the beginning of each month, it's just plain fun to drive! I've stayed with Toyota because my last two Corollas took me to nearly 200,000 miles and were still running strong when I got newer Toyotas. The cars before that were real pieces of crap.

I have two. What would you like to know?

Sheesh...I don't get it? What's the big deal about a "babe thread"?

Just heard the news. Apparently, he died soon after his Knitting Factory gig on Saturday night. Checking for details now. If you were/are a Swell Maps fan, then you know... Sudden Death Rod

I think the really strange bit is that if it is meant as a prank, then how does Nissan think that this may help their image or sales?

A wonderful book on the band Can that's nearly 500 pages of great quality analysis, statements, and interviews. Instead of being presented as a biography, it's a wonderful artistic reconstruction which is what much of their music was about. Physically, it's a well made book on good quality paper that gives it an amazingly hefty weight and sturdiness that is often found in higher priced "art" books.

I was in our nation's crapitol most of last week and was excited to come across an article on Go-Go God Chuck "Bustin' Loose" Brown. Apparently, he's doing quite well now with his new funky DC Lottery commercial for their "Rolling Cash 5" game. Haven't heard the commercial yet, but an extended version should be released on his new CD (sans the Lottery lyrics natch ). The article is available here for only a couple more weeks if you're interested. He has a "myspace" site too if you want to check out what's up with him lately.

Other than most of what passes as "smooth jazz," I have no idea... this will take some time... no Norah Jones? Oh! and no Wynton. (actually, he may be on a compilation...hmmm...)

...or you could just keep the record light on all of the time...

I have a friend who's manic-depressive. I think he's the perfect couple.

Yup! that about sums him up alright! One of those (often) "Can you believe he said that?" kind of writer. The times I've read him, I never know whether to laugh, shake my head, cuss, or all of the above (and more). I suppose he's kinda the Stanley Clownch of the classical critics. If you can stomach it, here's a collection of recent columns.

I think the Plasmatics performance was included for it's over-the-top value - maybe helps sell the set. I'm hoping for future volumes in the future. Not sure what to think about including complete shows- coulda fit more music - but maybe there was some kind of contractual reason for doing it this way. I have to admit that there's some non-music moments that are funny reminders of that time. Just before the Patti Smith interview (I think), there's the introduction of the "never before seen" game Simon. Anyone remember this big round game with flashing lights and sound that was an electronic version of "Simple Simon"?

Who plays Juliet Greco?

The line-up:

God, even here I can't get away from that Lebrecht prick.

It's a great slice of the past! The only one that I saw previously was the infamous John Lydon/Keith Levene/P.I.L. episode with Tom getting all bent. R~
