Dizziness (Latin: "Vertigo") is the sensation of instability. The term is fairly vague, and can include a number of more specific conditions, ranging from harmless to life-threatening. One of the most common causes of dizziness is rapid spinning; this cause lent its name to the baseball pitcher Dizzy Dean, whose windup while throwing the ball caused him to spin completely around. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. The cerebellum takes input about the location and motion of the head from the inner ear ...

He became a well-known sportscaster, famous for his wit and often-colorful butchering of the English language. Much like football star-turned-sportscaster Terry Bradshaw years later, he chose to build on, rather than counter, his image as a not-too-bright country boy, as a way of entertaining fans: "The Good Lord was good to me. He gave me a strong right arm, a good body, and a weak mind." He once saw Browns outfielder Al Zarilla slide into base, and said, "Zarilla slud into third!" Later, doing a game on CBS, he said, over the open mike, "I ...

Dizzy Guilty Gear - Background. The details of Dizzy's birth are not known; all that is known for certain is that she was found as an infant roughly three years before the events in Guilty Gear X, by an old couple with no children of their own to depend on. The other villagers became afraid, however, since Dizzy appeared to age from being an infant to apparently being in her late teens in three years. This was compounded when she discovered, one day, that she now had wings and a tail. Dizzy was now identified a Gear -- essentially, a living weapon of mass destruction, and a hundred-year war a ...

Dizzy relies on range and power. Various summons she uses keep her far from her opponent. Many combinations can be made from these, with creative use of FRCing and Buffering to make it even more difficult for Dizzy's opponent to stay on the offensive. Her combo game is not lacking, however, as her bubble attack (a popular tiger-knee) is specifically designed to add punch to her already devastating combinations. Her strategy can be said to be a mix of Testament's and Justice's, in that it relies on powerful combinations and the ability to control the battlefield. < ...

Dean was best known for leading the 1934 "Gashouse Gang" team. He had a 30–7 record with a 2.66 ERA during the regular season. His brother, Paul, was also on the roster, and was nicknamed "Daffy," although this was usually only done for press consumption. The Gashouse Gang, as the southernmost and westernmost team in the major leagues at the time, became a de-facto "America's Team," and members, particularly Southerners such as the Dean brothers and Pepper Martin, became folk heroes in Depression-ravaged America, who saw in these pl ...
