Love how Pro Life supporters are now called Anti Choicers.
Because if your view points and morals don't go along with the majority, you are wrong and shouldn't be allowed to freely express them.
I am Pro Life, and unfollow me if it really bothers you that freaking much.
and taking away a woman*'s right to make choices with their own body
hence the anti-choice
people don't have an issue with expressing opinion
people have an issue with controlling people, through law, because of their opinion.
That's what anti-choicers DO, op.

NEW YORK, NY (release) - New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman will propose a bill that will allow people who are wrongfully convicted of a crime, imprisoned and subsequently had their convictions overturned to present a claim for damages against the state. The Attorney General's "Unjust Imprisonment Act" would remove burdensome provisions from current law – barriers that can preclude people who were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned from recovering damages from the State of New York. The legislation will be introduced by Assemblymember Joseph Lentol, chair of the Assembly Codes Committee.
During remarks delivered at John Jay College Of Criminal Justice's "Life After Exoneration: Emerging Issues" breakfast program in Manhattan, Attorney General Schneiderman announced details of the proposed legislation and reasons the law needs to be revised.
Adopted in 1984 and updated in 2007, the current law can prevent certain people from recovering damages from the state after having been wrongfully convicted and incarcerated. The proposed legislation allows those who can prove their actual innocence, even after pleading guilty, to pursue a claim.
"Those who are wrongfully convicted and unjustly deprived of liberty must be allowed to put their lives back together again, and we have a moral obligation to help them do so," said Attorney General Schneiderman. "The legal reforms we are proposing today are critically important not just to the futures of the people wrongfully convicted by our criminal justice system, but to our future as a just society. The Unjust Imprisonment Act will remove unjust and unnecessary burdens on those who have been imprisoned for a crime they did not commit."
Assemblymember Joseph Lentol said, "New York State law currently presents unnecessary and unjust barriers to recovery for some individuals who have been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned. I am proud to sponsor this legislation to fix the law, and thank the Attorney General for his leadership on this issue."
Albany County District Attorney David Soares said, "Prosecutors are in the business of locking up the bad guys. But when the system fails us, and innocent people are sent to prison, they must be given a chance to rebuild their lives afterward - it's only fair. I applaud Attorney General Schneiderman for proposing this legislation."
Jeremy Travis, President of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said, "We are honored to host this forum for a discussion of the barriers to justice for individuals wrongfully convicted of crimes. Attorney General Schneiderman is to be commended for recommending a pathway that will help those individuals seek justice and get their lives back on track."
The Unjust Imprisonment Act would amend the law to clarify that a person who falsely confessed or pleaded guilty to a crime he or she did not commit may still be eligible to pursue a claim for damages under Section 8-b. Under current law, a person whose conviction was overturned may pursue a claim only if that person can show he "did not by his own conduct cause or bring about his conviction." People who falsely confess or plead guilty to crimes they did not commit may be considered to have "caused or brought about" their conviction. There is overwhelming evidence that points to wrongful convictions occurring as a result of false confessions and ineffective assistance of counsel, among other reasons. The current law includes an overly broad exclusion that disregards certain extenuating, but all too common, circumstances for a false confession. It doubly victimizes innocent people who were in fear for their lives, who had a nervous, mental or psychological problem, or were simply too young to know better, so they admitted doing something they didn't do.
The Unjust Imprisonment Act would also amend the law to allow those whose claims are dismissed for failure to personally verify their claim to correct the mistake and resubmit the claim.
Under current law, a claimant must personally verify his claim in cases involving unjust conviction and imprisonment, with no ability to correct an improperly verified claim once the 2-year statute of limitations has expired. An example is the case of Fernando Bermudez, who was tried and convicted of murder in 1992 and released from custody nearly 18 years later, in 2009, after being found innocent. Bermudez subsequently filed a claim against the state under Section 8-b. While he signed the claim, he failed to personally verify the claim by signing a statement asserting he had been wrongfully convicted. Although the Attorney General's office notified Bermudez's lawyer of the error, the lawyer failed to fix the verification in time, and the Attorney General's office is now obliged to seek dismissal of the claim. The proposed amendment gives Bermudez, and others going forward, six months from a dismissal for failure to correctly verify a petition to correct the technical error.
The Unjust Imprisonment Act would also expand the existing grounds for dismissal of a case that can form the basis of a claim under Section 8-b.
The current list of "eligible grounds" for 8-b relief is unduly narrow and, quite inexplicably, excludes cases where the dismissal was based on a violation of the claimant's constitutional rights or on post-conviction DNA evidence indicating that the claimant was "actually innocent." This bill would broaden the list of dismissal grounds that can form the basis of a claim under Section 8-b, and thereby help to ensure that the truly innocent are not denied their day in court.
The Unjust Imprisonment Act would extend by one year the statute of limitations for filing a claim for damages by those who seek to prove they were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned.
In an effort to ensure that no one who may be eligible for relief under the statute is shut out of his or her ability to make a claim, persons who were pardoned, or whose cases were dismissed based on exculpatory DNA evidence, constitutional violations or on any other ground enumerated in the statute, would have three years from the date of the pardon or dismissal, rather than the current two years, to file a claim for damages.

10 Decorative accents for boring rooms
From drab to fab
Mix up mirrors
Mirrors are particularly important to use in a space that's small (they give the illusion of depth and space). Instead of purchasing one big mirror, buy several small ones and create a mixed up mirrored wall.
Count on clocks
Sprucing up your space with clocks has been another home design trend for the past few years. First, it was all about using multiple clocks to fill one wall, now it's about locating the biggest, most stylish clock you can and letting the piece speak for itself.
Wonderful wine racks
If you're a wine drinker, wine racks can be a great way to add some flair to a dining room or kitchen. Adorn the rack with a variety of wines (rosé, white, and red) and you'll end up with a colorful and unique piece of art (as well as a handy everyday object).
Vintage signage
Everything that was old is new again, at least when it comes to home trends. So, if you have any old signage, movie posters, or magazines lying around now would be the time to showcase them. Simply frame whatever objects you've got and create an old-school wall collection that's all your own.
Break the bank for backsplashes
If you want to upgrade your kitchen or bathroom, a surefire way to add pizzazz is with a backsplash. They protect walls from grease and grime while adding texture, color, and depth to a space.

But space flight accidents no longer seem to rise to that level. We've been down this road before with the Challenger disaster. Like every astronaut that came before, the Columbia crew members were adventurers who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way. It is absurd to think that NASA, even with a blank check, could guarantee the safety of astronauts hurtling though space in a man-made contraption at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour.
Experts once placed the odds of space flight disasters at one in several hundred. Turns out to be more like one in 57 so far. We're too new at this to know how dangerous it is. Just because we come to ignore these missions after a while doesn't mean they are routine.
And please, let's not call the lost astronauts "heroes," a term that has been especially abused since the terrorist attacks. These astronauts were incredibly smart and driven people, and we'll never know what more they could have contributed.
But not everyone who dies a tragic death is a hero. That's not how these astronauts would want to be remembered.

These kids and their photos are beautiful! What fun!
- Phantom Scribbler said...
I think what we were reacting to in the previous post, Moreena, was the thought that some of us cannot pull off a trip to the grocery store without inflicting more trauma on our kids than you do on a trip to the hospital for tests. Materialism strikes me as the last thing you'd be transmitting to your kids...
And also: what Yankee Transplant said.
- ocelot said...
Great snaps! Makes me think i need a new camera (already!). :D I'm a horrible electronics consumeraholic, and I need help.
Not to sound encouraging, but we got a great miniDV JVC cam new on eBay for $225. Definitely does the job and firewires the content to the computer. All the better, we sold our crappy generations old never used camcorder for $150 on eBay, so it only cost us $75 net to join the current age. That's the trick for me, don't buy anything new until i sell something old on eBay. :)
Also, we got a laser printer for around $100 at one of the office supply type stores, and it should pay for itself in around a year as far as not needing to replace inkjet cartridges. It's so great, we couldn't figure out why we didn't do it years ago (probably because they weren't $100 years ago). ...er... again, not trying to be encouraging of feeding the consumeristic beast... but isn't this what *-aholics do to help justify/mask their addiction?
- Jay said...
That's so cool, and I must say, you take mahhhvelous photos. It helps that you have gorgeous kids, but still.
- Moreena said...
My camera is actually the older, less fancy version of the one you have now (we have the Sony DSC-P72).
Yes, the ebay advice is good. I'm trying to keep it under $200 while still buying one that has good low-light performance (my primary complaint with the little movies from my digicam). It looks possible.
- Moreena said...
Thanks for the compliments on the photos. I admit I love posting my favorite kid pics.
And thanks, phantom, for the reassurance about the complaining bit.
- Laurie said...
I love those pictures! I've seen them all before, but I love to look at them again! You have such beautiful girls.
- Scrivener said...
Those are all beautiful photos. Damn I need a digital camera! ;)
- said...
Moreena...you are NOT a whiner. I think it's more along the lines of what phantom scribbler said...I don't think I have it in me to do it myself. I think it was more of a introspective cringe at the thought. That said, Justice is more of a vocal protester than physical assailant when it comes to needles and scans now so progress is being made on our home turf as well.
Your kids are gorgeous!!
P.S. God bless hospital gift shops and McDonald's for tacky toys! :)
- Bettie Bookish said...
Your post about the trip to Chicago for tests brought me back to my own childhood when I was on the child-end of the hospital equation. Thanks for giving me the mother's perspective.
And I can tell you that, looking back, I'm more amazed than ever at the things my mom handled and how well she handled them. And if your experience is anything like mine, you and Anni will always have a bond to each other like neither of you has with anyone else.
A bond that you can document with your shine new video camera!
- PPB said...
oh, yes.
lucky, indeed.

Oh! So u think you can smile!
What an intracit design. So… Brown
Well… I guess the opera took my door
Just because I eat doesn't mean I'm fat. I only eat for the sake of I like food just as everyone else does. Sometimes I think of sour patch kids as my favorite munchkins that I eat the heads off of!
Sometimes I look out my window and wonder why there is not a camel waiting for me to ride it.

Across all of the various debate-reaction polls Gallup has conducted, Romney's 52-point win is the largest Gallup has measured. The prior largest margin was 42 points for Bill Clinton over George H.W. Bush in the 1992 town hall debate.
Among 'All debate watchers' - people thought Romney won the debate was 72% - and for Obama only 20%. Then, among Independents, people thought Romney won was 70%, and for Obama only 19%.
One expert somewhere said - people who never really paid attention to who Romney is - and what Romney has been saying in details - just saw Romney for the first time in this debate - and found him really likable than Obama.
Closer to center - indicating willingness to work in bi-partisan ways. Romney also scored high on these points.
I don't find mentioning on this - but clearly GOP side had this planned. During campaign trail - lean to far-right - and then once real national stage starts - strike out from near-center.
Wondering anyone predicted this beforehand.

"Roy & Brad of Do It Yourself Lettering did an A+ job. They are hands on owners actively involved in their family business of Vinyl lettering. They understood my fonts, sizes, colors, and IMPACT marketplace I wanted to display at my business location. Roy provided me sample display sizes, sample fonts and ideas via E-mail and we had it all worked out within a short time frame. The installation process of the lettering on my 2 story location was very easy to do. I shopped for pricing and NO ONE could match their pricing and quality material used for my job. It made a big difference dealing directly with owners Brad & Roy. Not some hourly employee who did not return calls or expressed enthusiasm. I would strongly recommend Do It Yourself lettering to any interested parties. They can contact me anytime here in Los Angeles CA at (562)-863-7543 office of United Pacific Realty ATT: David Manning Broker/Owner"

The Boston Bruins announced the signing of goaltender Niklas Svedberg to a one-way NHL contract on Monday. According to the team, Svedberg signed a one-year deal worth $600,000.
The 24-year-old netminder spent nearly the entire 2013-2014 season manning the crease in Providence. He notched a respectable 25-15-4 record to go along with a 2.63 GAA and .910 save percentage. Svedberg made one start at the NHL level last year, helping push the Bruins past the Predators in January.
Svedberg has exhibited conistant signs of developing into an NHL goaltender after winning the AHL's most improved player award in 2012-2013. The signing likely means he'll spend the upcoming season as Tuukka Rask's backup.
The Boston brass is clearly pleased with Svedberg's play and believe he'll be more than a capable replacement for Chad Johson, who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent. Johnson will command a more lucrative deal than that of Svedberg based on his performance this past year behind Rask.
It's highly unlikely that the Bruins would consider carrying three goalies on the roster. With that being said, Johnson did confirm he'd be playing elsewhere. Svedberg will serve as Rask's new partner between the pipes and Malcolm Subban will take over the reins at the AHL level for the baby B's.

If the Bengals were trying to hide the real talent of their team in
The Jets came in and quickly took advantage of the Bengals short handed defense. With Chris Crocker and Domata Peko out, the Bengals have had a hard time stopping the run. The Jets used wide receiver Brad Smith in the wildcat formation and were able to torch the Bengals with draw and option plays. The Jets finished the game with 257 rushing yards in a 37-0 route. The Bengals suffered a setback early in the game when defensive tackle Pat Sims went out with a broken arm.
The Bengals offense didn't do much better. Going into halftime the Bengals had -2 total yards with 2:13 time of possession. They finished up with 72 total yards, the lowest amount in franchise history. Carson Palmer, who played only shortly into the second half was 1 for 11 with zero yards. Chad Ochocinco, who had been talking trash with Jets corner Darrelle Revis all week, was held without a catch for the first time in 120 games.
But there may have been a reason for
The rematch happens to be the first game of the post season, right here in

Still not over this.
I present to you the world's only consulting detective and the British Government himself…lying to their Mummy in the least convincing way possible.
It's no news that these two very clever, very powerful individuals are also deeply childish - we've seen it in their antics and in their bickering relationship, so watching them regress to the state of two boys when in the presence of their parents didn't exactly come as a surprise.
But. What I didn't expect was to see them so attached to their parents (their hidden-genius mother, specifically, who gave up her potential for love and family out of all). They don't just simply respect her, they want to please her. Humouring her, going to see Les Miserables, this family reunion, might all seem little things but I'm not a high-functioning sociopath and yet I easily ignore my parents' wishes to spend some quality time together.
And this scene was such a great summary of this warped up and cute relationship. I mean, their mother knows Sherlock is a drug addict - and yet both Sherlock and Mycroft think it's paramount that she should not catch them smoking. That would be bad, that would disappoint her, so in their mind this is a big deal.
The reactions are so typical of the older sibling/younger sibling dynamics that it's almost comical - Mycroft flatly denies. He's protecting himself, of course, but in a household your little brother is your responsibility - if he does something bad, it reflect on you who led him astray, who didn't keep a close eye on him. So Mycroft tries to clean after Sherlock, because Sherlock's misdeeds reflect on his projected perfect image.
Sherlock, on the other hand, is a full-on Momma's boy. He doesn't want to simply deny the fact, he wants to shine by comparison. He easily, instinctively throws Mycroft under the bus with an angelic face that says 'How could you even imagine me doing something so foul, of course Mycroft was doing it but never me!'. In this moment I imagine a little chubby Mycroft, straight hair perfectly parted in two and carefully combed, always getting blamed when Sherlock, who can so easily play with human perceptions, would look up to their mother, all wild curls and big blue eyes, and always fail to get punished. He'd always get away with it. At most Mrs. Holmes would just say 'I hope you learnt your lesson', and let him go with a pat on the cheek, while Mikey got scolded and resented Sherlock for it. For his ability to play the goldfish.
So of course thirty years later Mycroft both tries to protect Sherlock and to discipline him. To keep him out of trouble but get him what he deserves because fuck it, if HE doesn't do it it's not like anybody else would bother to scold and ground the Great Cute Sherlock Holmes. It's a dirty job…but someone's got to do it.
Beautiful analysis.

Seattle's game winning drive was a very creative drive by the Seahawks offensive coordinator but the Patriots secondary looked abysmal and simply out of place.
Pats are up 23-17 with 2:00 to go in the game.
-1st & 10 on Seattle 43 yard line, Seahawks in a shotgun formation, 3 WR set, Lynch in the backfield. Wilson with a fake handoff to Lynch with the line trapping to the left and Wilson keeps it and runs to the right for 9 yards as it appeared to be a designed run.
-2nd & 1 at the NE 48 yard line, Seahawks in an I formation, 3 WR set, 1 RB set (Lynch, ) TE Zach Miller comes in motion, bootleg rollout Wilson pass to Sidney Rice is incomplete. Rice was open, Wilson just rushes the pass and over throws Rice who also SLIPS on the play. The pass could've been picked off if the Patriots CBs weren't the Patriots CBs.
-3rd and 1 at the NE 48 yard line, Shotgun formation, 3 WR set, 1 lone RB, Zach Miller goes in motion again, Wilson with a draw handoff to Lynch for 1 yard.
-1st and 10 on the NE 46 yard line, Seahawks in the I formation, 2 back set, 2 WR set, 1 on both sides of Wilson, Zach Miller in motion gets set and planted on the right side. Wilson with the play action, rolls out to his right and launches it to Sidney Rice who completely burns safety Tavon Wilson for the TD go ahead TD.
Sidney Rice simply runs a fly pattern with a simple head move on the defenders and by the time Wilson had rolled out, Rice had already gain a step on Pats safety Tavon Wilson. It was a great throw by Russell Wilson and a clutch catch by Sidney Rice.
The Patriots played a lot of Cover 2 and zone and it was simply exploited by the Seahawks passing attack.

Hold off on the Brodeur love fest please! He's not as close to the record as you think!
10/20/08 in NHL | Gazzo | 18 respect
You're pretty confused at this point. Blame Gary Bettman. O yea and that crazy little thing called a shootout.
In reality, Mr. Brodeur has 515 wins NOT 542. At least in the reality of "Hey I wanna pass the all time wins record, and put possibly the best goalie ever in the #2 spot". Patrick Roy did NOT have the benefit of a Shootout. If he did, this discussion wouldn't even be on the horizon, because you can bet your autographed curtains that he would have won at least half of his 131 ties. Yea sure Brodeur played most of his career with ties too, but he only has 105. Assuming they both win half of their ties, that's another 65 wins for Roy and 52 for Brodeur. That would leave him 49 wins shy of the record, and like I said, this conversation doesn't happen this season.
Back to reality. Obviously the game of hockey has changed over the years, as all sports do. This makes it very hard for statisticians to keep a fair count on records and who holds them. I understand this. But this situation is pretty clear. Martin Brodeur IS NOT the single season record holder for wins (neither is Luongo for the same reasons). It's still Bernie Parent. He didn't have shootouts either, yet still managed to win 47 games. As for the career record, shootouts are obviously now part of the game. However that doesn't mean that we should start handing out records to players who haven't really earned them. I have no problem with Brodeur being the all-time leader so long as he earns it! That means he needs to win another 36 games in regulation or OT to claim the record.
Am I wasting my breath with this whole thing? It's debatable, since the last time Brodeur failed to win at least 36 games was the 96-97 season. So it's more than fair to say that he breaks the record this season either way. The career one anyway. He'll never be the single season leader.

In this day and age, what makes a song a throwback? As editor, I'm proclaiming "old school" as before 2000. Partially to give myself options, but also because the late 90s brought forth some of the best hip hop music to date. My first Froback Friday as editor barely makes the cute. Jurassic 5's "Concrete Schoolyard" was released on their self-titled debut album in 1998.
They didn't actually make their major label debut until Quality Control was released in 2000. It's too bad, because the date will not allow us to use any of the album's great tracks ("The Influence" is a personal favorite of mine). The group disbanded after their 2006 album Feedback, but did reunite April of 2014 for the UK's Glastonbury Festival. This came after an announcement of a new studio album.
Without further ado, here is the hip hop group's classic first single:

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editors' note: The rating on this review has been lowered because of changes in the competitive marketplace.
The midrange of a product line is sometimes where bargains meet high-performance, and that describes the LNA550 series of LCDs from Samsung quite well. The company's entry-level 1080p resolution models, represented in this review by the LN46A550, lack the fancy "touch of color" styling, Internet-connectivity, and 120Hz processing of their step-up brothers in the company's A650 and A750 series, but keep the superb picture-quality basics of black-level performance and color accuracy. We also appreciated that, unlike the glossy screen on flashier high-end models, the A550's screen doesn't reflect ambient light like a mirror. If you can stand to lose a few features and style points, the LN46A550 looks like a great choice among midrange LCDs.
Basic, glossy black defines the LN46A550's look. A relatively thick swath of fingerprint-attracting, black plastic borders the sides and top, while an even thicker black plastic strip is nestled along the bottom of the screen. The very bottom edge of the cabinet receives a thin strip of accent chrome, from the center of which peeks a blue accent light, which, thankfully, can be turned off. The downward-firing speakers are completely hidden from sight. The overall look will blend well into many rooms and retains the element of classiness imparted by glossy piano black.
Including the matching swivel stand, the LN46A550 measures 44.4-inches wide by 30.2 inches high by 11 inches deep, but removing the stand brings the panel down to 44.4 inches wide by 27.6 inches high by 3.9 inches deep.
We're fans of Samsung's 2008 TV remote. The buttons are nice and big and backlit, and we liked the dedicated Tools button that offered quick access to picture and sound modes, the sleep timer, and the picture-in-picture controls. We didn't like the clicker's glossy black finish, however, which picked up more than its share of dulling fingerprints after a few minutes.
Samsung's new menu system is sleeker than last year's and blessed with a big, highly legible text set against transparent backgrounds that occupy almost the whole screen. Getting around is easy; there's helpful explanatory text along the bottom, and we dug the context-sensitive menu that pops up occasionally to provide more options. Overall, it's one of the best designed and most attractive menu systems we've seen on any HDTV, and it really makes setup a breeze--except for the confusing picture mode arrangement (see below).
As we mentioned above the LN46A550 lacks many of the more esoteric, often less useful, features found on step-up models. Like most other LCD and plasma TV models on sale in 2008, however, it does have a native resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels (aka 1080p), although at this screen size those extra pixels don't translate to any appreciable increase in detail over lower-resolution televisions.
The LN46A550 offers all of the control over the picture found on more expensive Samsungs. It has three adjustable picture modes that are each independent per input. That's great, but in addition there are three more picture presets, called "Entertainment Modes," which cannot be adjusted and are accessible via a separate key on the remote and the Setup menu. This arrangement is unnecessarily confusing on a TV with so many settings anyway; we'd prefer to have all of the picture modes, both adjustable and nonadjustable, be accessible together from a single key on the remote and one area of the Picture menu. Also, if you're in Entertainment Mode, you're prevented from making picture adjustments, or even selecting one of the adjustable picture modes, until you actively cancel an Entertainment Mode by navigating to the Setup menu (which the onscreen instructions suggest) or toggling the mode to "Off" using the remote. That's an awkward hitch in an otherwise smooth menu design.
Other picture controls include five color temperature presets, along with the ability to fine-tune color using the white balance menu, three varieties of noise reduction (including an automatic setting), a film mode to engage 2:3 pulldown (it also works with 1080i sources), a seven-position gamma control that affects the TV's progression from dark to light, a dynamic contrast control that adjusts the picture on the fly, a "black adjust" control that affects shadow detail, and a new color space control that lets you tweak the Samsung's color gamut. (Phew!)
You can choose from four aspect ratio modes for HD sources, two of which allow you to move the whole image across the screen horizontally and/or vertically. As we'd expect from a 1080p TV, one of those modes, called Just Scan, lets the LN46A550 scale 1080i and 1080p sources directly to the panel's pixels with no overscan--the best option unless you see interference along the edge of the screen, as can be the case with some channels or programs. There are also four modes available with standard-def sources.
We appreciated the three power-saver modes and the fact that, much like Panasonic's plasmas, this year Samsung did not use the brightest picture mode as its default. Instead, the default picture mode for home use is Standard, which saves a lot of energy compared with the much brighter Dynamic. Check out the Juice Box below for details on the set's energy use. As far as other conveniences, Samsung throws in picture-in-picture and compatibility with the company's forthcoming digital media adapter.
