THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,v.HOMER BROWN, JR., DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Alex R. Renzi, J.), rendered October 5, 2005. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the third degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree.
Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of robbery in the third degree (Penal Law § 160.05) and grand larceny in the fourth degree (§ 155.30 [5]), defendant contends that his plea was not voluntarily entered and that County Court abused its discretion in denying his motion to withdraw the plea without conducting a hearing (see CPL 220.60 [3]). We reject those contentions. "Trial judges are vested with discretion in deciding plea withdrawal motions because they are best able to determine whether a plea is entered voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently" (People v Alexander, 97 NY2d 482, 485). Here, defendant's allegations of duress and coercion are belied by the statements of defendant during the plea colloquy, wherein he knowingly and voluntarily admitted that he committed the crimes to which he was pleading guilty (see People v Nimmons, 27 AD3d 1186, lv denied 6 NY3d 851; People v Dale, 235 AD2d 565, 566).
Our website includes the first part of the main text of the court's opinion.
To read the entire case, you must purchase the decision for download. With purchase,
you also receive any available docket numbers, case citations or footnotes, dissents
and concurrences that accompany the decision.
Docket numbers and/or citations allow you to research a case further or to use a case in a
legal proceeding. Footnotes (if any) include details of the court's decision. If the document contains a simple affirmation or denial without discussion,
there may not be additional text.

Yesterday, a friend of Amanda's came back from a New York trip brandishing the latest copy of American Vogue. You know, the one with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on the cover.
"I had to fight off this cow dressed in Prada for it," Melanie reported. "It was the last copy on the newsstand!"
Amanda was awestruck as she stroked the magazine. "You mean it? This is for me?"
"I haven't even read it," Melanie said. "It went straight into my carry-on bag. I didn't even dare put it with my check in luggage in case those TSA boys randomly picked my bag to inspect and nicked it. I thought maybe you might want to eBay it or something. It's got to be worth something!"
Later, Amanda said that it was so humbling that she had friends like Melanie, a comment that displeased Saffy enormously.
"She bought a magazine. Big deal!" Saffy whispered to me, her bosom inflating dangerously close to my chest. "I hate that Melanie, rubbing her SCGS education and fake English educated Peranakan accent in our faces every time she opens her thin lipped mouth!"
"Uhm…why are we whispering?" I said softly.
"That Amanda has the hearing of a bat!"
Not in this instance, she didn't because she was absorbed in the Kimye article. Or, to be strictly accurate, she was slowly savouring each hi-resolution image of Kim in her various outfits by Lanvin and Alexander McQueen. I'm not sure Kanye or the presence of baby North even registered.
Over dinner, the magazine safely stored away in her room, Amanda was rhapsodic.
"I tell you, Vogue is always so daring!" she said as she daintily slurped her wonton noodle soup.
Saffy snorted. "Oh please. They put a big busted reality TV star and her Taylor Swift interrupting husband on the cover. Big deal!"
Which only invited a fifteen minute lecture from Amanda about how Kimye have transcended their fame to become true celebrities and how smart Vogue was to do something that all the other blue chip magazines didn't dare to.
"Which is?" Saffy demanded belligerently.
"Which is to expressly acknowledge their zeitgeist power!" Amanda said serenely. "Kim Kardashian is the new Victoria Beckham! You don't stay famous and relevant for so long without being smart!"
A silence descended over the table, interrupted only by the sound of chewing as Saffy struggled for something scathing to say in response.
"How does she do that?" she complained that evening to Sharyn.
"Ay, I ask you, hah," Sharyn said. "Can you ask Amanda if I can borrow that Vogue when she finish reading?"
Saffy was astonished. "You, too?"
"What? Cannot read, meh? I love to watch that Kar-dare-sian show, you know. They are just like my family. Except we got no private plane, lah. Or clothing store. Or stylist who come do our hair and make-up every time we go out."
In spite of herself, Saffy put down her chopsticks. "Ok, how are the Kardashians like your family, Sharyn?"
"Haiyah! Their mud-der love her children. Her children all very naughty. The son so useless. One daughter marry black man. One daughter got children but don't get married and the boyfriend no one like. The udder daughter always in trouble in public. The two younger daughters are rebellious. Wah, you change their names to Chan, and the children to Mervyn, Carol, Lucy, Lydia, Cynthia and Sharyn and you got my entire family!"
"Who's married to a black man in your family?" Saffy asked.
"Carol marry gwai-loh, what. She don't marry Chinese. In the eyes of my mudder, same thing, lah!"
So maybe that's the key to understanding the appeal of the Kardashians. And the hidden shame of our fascination. Behind the glitzy dresses and glamorous magazine covers, they have the same issues as the rest of us – motherhood, growing up, bad relationships, fights and spats, career issues. They're just like us. Only richer.
Of course, Saffy was having none of it. "If that's the case," she told Sharyn severely, "I should also be on the cover of Vogue. I may not travel around in private jets or attend fashion shows, but my love life is just as tumultuous as Kim's! My family is just as dysfunctional!"
"Yah, but you not famous, what!"
"Well, what is Kim famous for?" Saffy demanded.
By the way Saffy screwed up her eyes and stared off into the distance, you could tell that a whole world of opportunities had just presented itself.
Sharyn must have caught the glint in Saffy's eyes because she looked worried. "Ay…you don't anyhow…Ay…Saffy…"

"A great community is one in which its members work together," says Christine Guanipa, owner of Little Man Handbags in Whitinsville. Christine's line of textile handbags has become very popular, enough to be sold in the White House gift shop.
Foppema's Farm on Hill Street in Northbridge, long a provider of home-grown fruits and vegetables, has become the area's busiest seasonal farm stand.
Now the two businesses have formed a collaboration that "came through a serendipitous meeting" between Christine Guanipa and Lisa Foppema.
During the quieter months of winter, they joined their talents and efforts to create a new line of products. "We wanted to design something that would be unique to the community, functional, and fun," said Christine. Their ideas included a reusable canvas tote bag that Foppema Farm's customers could use to carry home their fruits and vegetables.
Christine's daughter, Faye Hurley, also became part of the design team. Faye is a freelance textile artist and illustrator and owner of Olive & Company in Worcester. She created an elaborate black and white etching of a panoply of farm vegetables, which would be printed on the canvas bags.
"We wanted Foppema's customers to both enjoy the beautiful design and the functionality of a reusable tote," said Christine. The totes will be available at Foppema's Farm on June 1, when the farm stand opens again for the season. They will be priced at $14.95, said Lisa. The tote bags will be manufactured in Little Man's Whitinsville studio.
In addition to the totes, Christine and Lisa worked with Lisa on a separate line of products: an exclusive line of Little Man products with carefully selected print designs like fresh apples, tomatoes, and vegetables that reflect the spirit of Foppema's Farm. These prints were made available on Little Man items that include wristlets, key fobs, card wallets and change purses.
For the little farmer, Christine and Lisa selected prints with tractors and farm animals that Little Man made into adorable bib sets and bib-danas. All these products will be available exclusively at Foppema's Farm.
"This was our first project joining forces with another local small business to make a custom, branded product. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to a continued collaboration," said Christine.
Foppema's 75-acre fruit and vegetable farm is located at 1605 Hill Street in Northbridge. Opening day is June 1. The farm also participates in major farmers' markets from here to Boston. The web address is www.foppemasfarm.com and on Facebook: Foppemasfarm.
The Little Man Handbags studio is at 110 Church Street in Whitinsville. Customers are invited to stop by to shop for a wide array of handmade gifts and accessories. The website is www.littlemanoriginals.com, and on Facebook: LittleManHandbags.
Faye Hurley's design business Olive & Company is at www.localporch.com/oliveandcopaper.

How spam could be more effective
My "real" job's email account has been overloaded with spam for the past 2-3 weeks, and no one at the school seems to be interested in installing a spam filter to help the poor, beleaguered faculty escape it. Some came in yesterday with the obviously porny subject line "Me and my roommate . . ." I would be more inclined to open these if the subject lines were grammatically correct: "My roommate and I . . ." You know what writing teachers are like!

i am an editor. at least i get PAID to edit. being an editor for quite some time now, my brain has inadvertently been on the lookout for errors in all types of non-work-related published material, which, sadly, includes this blog.
the problem with blogging is finding typos and grammatical errors in past entries and thinking (more like "screaming internally"), "people saw that! they saw that error and wondered why the hell i'm still working as an editor!!!"
recently, an editor-friend who religiously (and i hope not in a cult-type way, marti) reads this blog pointed out a small error which disturbed me greatly. i wanted to drown in my self-imposed suffering. but i corrected that (you'll never find it now! haha!) and moved on.
today, i discovered yet ANOTHER error resulting from carelessness and an obvious love affair with parentheses ("brackets," according to my favorite british editor). in this entry, the first paragraph ended with "item" when it should've been plural.
will the grammar gods ever forgive me?
(i wonder if melodrama pays well. if it did, a number of hysterical friends should've been millionaires by now. it's probably a good idea to keep these friends. you never know.)

Aluminum Guitar
This electric guitar is the loudest of Specimen's blocked-bridge aluminum models. It has an extremely broad frequency response, with subharmonics and overtones dancing around in fiery little rings inside.
I have been wanting to build this aluminum guitar for some time. The idea was finally brought to fruition for Alan Sparhawk of the band Low (pictured here). He liked the concept and wanted a mini-humbucker in the neck position.
Alan purchased this guitar after recording Low's album "Things We Lost in the Fire" with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio.
This Specimen aluminum guitar comes either with a stock Fender-style neck (pictured here) or with a custom Specimen neck that features a non-adjustable steel reinforcement and our special 6-on-a-side headstock design. Pricing for a stock neck is listed below. A custom Specimen neck is an additional $800.
Neck: Maple
Scale length: 25-1/2"
Fretboard: Rosewood
Body: Aluminum
Pickups: Mini-humbucker neck pickup, Lindy Fralin bridge pickup
Controls: One volume and tone control, three-way selector switch
Please call 773.489.4830 or email email@example.com to discuss details and make arrangements for your commission.

Of late, may mutual fund have declared dividends. If you have been wondering that your scheme ( direct) was treated differently from the other for dividend declaration, here's the reason.
No dividends in yourdirect plan?
No dividends in yourdirect plan?
Don't worry on this count, as thereare valid reasons regarding realisedgains; look at other factors, too
Investors of the HDFC Prudence Fund direct plan received a
dividend of ~1.25 a unit in March. But investors in the regular
plan of the same fund received a dividend of ~3 a unit. Similarly,
in the ICICI Prudential Tax Plan, the direct plan declared a dividend
of 1.5 per cent a unit, while the regular plan declared a dividend
of two per cent a unit.
HDFC Mid-cap Opportunities Fund declared a dividend of
~1.75 for the regular plan in February but did not declare any
dividend for the direct plan. Similarly, in January, ICICI
Prudential Discovery declared a dividend of ~2.14 for the regular
plan but none in the direct plan.
Data from Value Research says this is not a trend across
mutual funds and schemes. It is specific to some schemes. The
reason why some direct MF plans did not declare dividends or
declared less was because of a Securities and Exchange Board
of India rule that dividends can only be paid from realised
gains, says Dhirendra Kumar of Value Research.
For instance, if the net asset value increases from ~10 to ~13,
the gain is ~3. Earlier, funds used to pay a dividend out of these
gains. Sebi has now said the dividend can be paid only out of
the profits the fund makes, by selling shares and booking profits.
So, if the fund makes a profit of ~1, it can pay dividends only
out of that ~1.

Kit & Caboodle
What a long way it is to Dalton in Furness from Wilmslow. I was up at the crack of dawn to get to demo on Saturday but it was well worth it. I had a great day with Alison and her lovely ladies. Thanks to Mabe for being gentle with me and not heckling and for Pete's whistling whilst I visited the little girls room! Don't forget to get your competition entries to Bramwells see the link here.
