"I had no idea what sex was or how babies were made," says Jonsin, a Santa Fe resident who supports abortion rights.
Jonsin grew up in relatively conservative Boise, Idaho. As a teenager in the mid-1960s, she got pregnant three times by the boyfriend she says she loved at the time. Through it all, she says no one ever taught her about birth control or sex education.
"I mean, it sounds crazy today," she says, "but you have to put it in the context of 1965: no Internet. No literature about sex. I was totally in the dark."
She didn't want to talk to her peers about it either, for fear of being labeled "a slut."
After each pregnancy, Jonsin had an abortion—an illegal procedure at the time. She recalls having her abortions done in different towns during the dark of night and feeling "like a total criminal." Each procedure was a difficult and emotional decision, she says—but that doesn't mean she regrets it.
"I don't think any woman thinks, 'Yeah, I can't wait to get this thing outside of me,'" Jonsin, who went on to raise three kids, says. "It takes some thought. But again, it just wasn't appropriate. Every baby needs to be wanted and be in a good environment."
Jonsin's abortions occurred just a few years before the US Supreme Court's landmark 1973 abortion decision in Roe v. Wade. The ruling established a balancing test between women's privacy rights and the state's duty to protect a baby's life. Today, the ruling is generally interpreted to mean that abortions must be available to women before a fetus is "viable," or has at least a 50 percent chance of surviving outside the womb. Generally, the age of viability is thought to begin around 23-24 weeks.
Today, Jonsin says abortion rights are under attack. She's worried about a proposed ballot initiative in Albuquerque, which would ban abortions after a fetus reaches 20 weeks.
Listen to SFR's partner story on Making Contact:
Janet Gotkin, treasurer of the National Organization for Women's Santa Fe chapter, warns that the consequences of the ballot initiative extend well beyond Albuquerque. All three of the state's abortion clinics are located there, which means women who live in rural areas may face even more hurdles in getting to an abortion provider.
"These actions really affect women all over New Mexico," Gotkin tells SFR.
But for anti-abortion activists, the city represents an opportunity. For one, it's home to Southwestern Women's Options, a clinic that provides abortions into the third trimester. The city also lets residents gather signatures for ballot initiatives, which isn't allowed on the state level.
Nationally, anti-abortion groups are finding new ways to push their agenda—including shifting their focus to the local level. Indeed, bans like the one proposed in Albuquerque were recently passed in Texas, North Dakota and Arkansas. (Some have since been struck down in court.)
University of New Mexico political science professor Lonna Atkeson says the abortion debate may continue to play out locally.
"There's such gridlock in Washington; it can't get anywhere in the federal government," she says. "Certainly the Senate wouldn't move on an issue like this. The Democrats would stop it. Where do you go?"
In addition to going local, anti-abortion groups are also looking for ways around Roe v. Wade. At a protest last week in Albuquerque, Mark Harrington, president of Columbus, Ohio-based anti-abortion group Created Equal, called for activists to help "enact legislation in spite of Roe v. Wade."
"For 40 years, we have tried to reverse Roe v. Wade as a federal law," he said. "I think we can look back and say we failed at that."
The Albuquerque protests featured out-of-state pro-life groups like Operation Rescue, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust and Created Equal. At the clinics, roughly 35 teenagers and young adults from California held blown-up images of bloody fetuses and signs with slogans like "ABQ: America's Auschwitz."
Using such graphic images is controversial, even within the anti-abortion community. During a town hall meeting last week, anti-abortion activist Lloyd Martinez asked if the images could be oriented "towards the clinic and not towards the population."
Harrington replied that while there may be disagreement about using graphic images, "I think we must all come to the conclusion that they work."
"There're going to be people that are upset," he said. "You're not going to win them. They're not your friends anyway."
But California-based Survivors took the tactics even further, protesting in front of the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum to demand that it open an exhibit on abortion. The museum refused.
Harry Rosenfeld, a rabbi at Albuquerque's Congregation Albert who's active with the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, says he takes offense when one group tries to co-opt another's genocide.
"For each group, the times that it has been oppressed and killed are very personal and seen within a lens of their own experience," Rosenfeld says. "To use language that another group uses or owns, as it were, is insulting and demeaning to the feelings of that group."
Many anti-abortion groups are also pushing for incremental change rather than an all-out ban. The proposed ballot initiative, for example, would limit so-called "late-term" (after 20 weeks) abortions, which currently make up just over 1 percent of all abortions in the US. Recent polling shows that roughly half of Americans support a 20-week ban, while far fewer support banning abortion outright.
"I think sometimes there has to be this middle ground," says Bud Shaver, an Albuquerque anti-abortion activist who's played a key role in the ballot initiative. "And so as we work in the community, we try to build a bridge."
Shaver says anti-abortion groups "came together to look at the options" after limits on abortion repeatedly stalled in the state Legislature; a team of lawyers examined potential challenges to the Albuquerque ballot initiative.
Such a challenge is likely. The American Civil Liberties Union's local chapter deems the measure unconstitutional because they view 20 weeks as predating the age of viability. Federal courts have struck down more stringent measures, such as North Dakota's six-week ban and Arkansas' 12-week ban, for the same reason.
The ballot measure faces other hurdles. The city attorney has questioned whether a 20-week ban could be properly enforced; the city clerk has questioned whether there will be enough time to verify the submitted signatures by the Aug. 19 deadline in order to make the ballot this fall.
Jonsin, for her part, says comprehensive sex education—rather than curtailing abortion rights—is the best way to prevent abortion.
"People are human beings, and we have sex," she says. "And that's never going to stop."

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: American Poets)
Marilyn Hacker was educated at the Bronx High School of Science, at Washington Square College of New York University, and at the Art Students League. She has lived in New York, Mexico City, San Francisco, and London, and has come to divide her time between Manhattan and Paris. Her marriage to science-fiction writer Samuel R. Delany did not survive their mutual acknowledgment of homosexuality, and Hacker has lived since the mid-1980's with her life partner, Karyn London. Many aspects of her life, especially the evolution of her relationship with her daughter, Iva, and her mother (whose death is the subject of the fine "Mother" and "Mother II" in Assumptions); her battle with breast cancer; her witness to the ravages of human immunodeficiency virus-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV-AIDS); as well as the intricacies of friendship, travel, and the vicissitudes of love, form the subjects of her poetic work.
Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Marilyn Hacker is one of the most diverse, talented contemporary poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Her distinguished stratification of work inspired poet Rafael Campo to refer to her as an "award-winning poet, political activist, editor, and literary formalist." Hacker's innovative poetic forms and autobiographical, raw subject matter infuse her work with jagged but irresistible energy. Her expert employment of forms and her clever, straightforward voice assures her permanent status as a master of poetic craft.
Hacker is the only daughter of working-class Jewish parents from the Bronx of New York. Her mother received a master's degree in chemistry, aspiring to train as a physician, but was denied admission into medical school, being both a woman and a Jew. Her father, an industrial chemist, was never continually employed. Hacker's mother taught within the New York public schools and solely supported the family. Her father died at forty-eight from pancreatic cancer not long after receiving a teaching position at City College of New York (CCNY). Marilyn Hacker later became a professor at CCNY, directing the master of arts program in creative writing and English literature.
The scare availability of resources following the Great Depression and World War II prompted Hacker, during her childhood, to seek libraries for entertainment. Reading classic plays, fiction, and volumes of poetry established an early foundation for academic success. She attended the Bronx High School of Science and began studying French. Her keen intellect afforded her enrollment at New York University (NYU) at fifteen. She spent the summer preceding her freshman year taking French literature survey courses at Hunter College, to qualify for French scholar Germaine Bree's courses on twentieth century French theater and...

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy
I thank the Chairman for scheduling this hearing at a time that works for all of our witnesses so that we can hear different points of view rather than the echo chamber most often favored by the Administration. The entire Committee, and indeed, the entire Senate, benefits when we can hear from the leading authorities on both sides of an issue, as we will do today. We are still waiting for Attorney General Ashcroft to appear before this Committee. It has been well over a year since the Attorney General's last, brief appearance on March 4, 2003. He returned to work nearly two months ago, after being briefly hospitalized for a medical condition, and there is no apparent reason for his continued delay in scheduling a time to testify and to answer the many oversight questions that have been piling up since his last appearance. I noticed he appeared last month before the 9/11 Commission. We are also working with the Chairman to schedule an oversight hearing with FBI Director Mueller. I understand that the Director was available to testify next Wednesday, but we are not holding the hearing on that day because Secretary Ridge was not available, and the Chairman wanted him to testify at the same hearing. That is, of course, the Chairman's right. But if the Director is available to us next week, we should take advantage of that opportunity. I know we all have questions for him, and I see no reason why we should have to wait for his answers until Secretary Ridge can be here. Instead of an FBI oversight hearing with Director Mueller, the Committee will apparently take the day off next Wednesday - there has been no notice of any full Committee hearing for that day. If we will not hear from the FBI Director next week, there is other oversight that we can and should do. I have long urged the Chairman to hold a hearing on the Administration's claim that it can designate U.S. citizens as "enemy combatants" and hold them incommunicado without charges. It is appalling to me that the Hamdi and Padilla cases have worked themselves all the way up to the Supreme Court - and will likely be decided by that Court - before this Committee has ever weighed in on this issue. I have also asked the Chairman to hold a hearing on the reported abuse of prisoners by Americans in Iraq. Given the wide-ranging jurisdiction of this Committee over civil liberties and prisons, the reported role of civilian contractors, our role in enactment of the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, and the lack of other congressional oversight, we need to act. I sent the Chairman a letter on Monday, following the revelations over the weekend. At this morning's hearing we will focus on two criminal statutes that have come under some fire in the federal courts. Sections 2339A and 2339B of title 18 prohibit the provision of "material support" to terrorists and to designated foreign terrorist organizations. Since the 9/11 attacks, these statutes have become the weapon of choice for domestic anti-terrorism prosecution efforts. But with the increased use of these statutes, some problems have come into focus. What Constitutes "Material Support" First, the key term in the statutes - "material support" - is defined by reference to a laundry list of broad terms, all of them undefined. These include, for example, "currency or other financial securities"; "weapons"; "explosives"; "false documentation or identification"; "transportation"; "lodging"; "facilities"; "communications equipment"; "personnel"; "training"; and "expert advice or assistance." While few of these terms are models of clarity, most are clear enough. For example, we all know what "currency" and "explosives" are. But some of the terms included in the "material support" definition are considerably less clear. Does a person provide "personnel" merely by providing her own services, as the Government has argued in several cases? Is using the conference call feature on one's telephone enough to satisfy the prohibition on providing "communications equipment," as the Government has also argued? Would teaching international law or some other innocuous subject to the members of a designated terrorist organization qualify as "training"? And what does it mean to provide "expert advice or assistance"? We added that term in the USA PATRIOT Act, at the request of the Administration, but in the rush to pass anti-terrorism legislation after the 9/11 attacks, there was little discussion of what was meant by the term, and important clarifications did not occur. Then there is the meaning of the concept of materiality, itself. When Congress criminalized "material support," it intended there to be significance to the support, not just incidental contact with what is suspected to be a suspicious group. Multiple courts have found parts of the "material support" definition to be unconstitutionally vague. Vague statutes raise concerns because they can punish people for behavior they did not know was illegal, lead to arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement by government officers, and chill protected activity. The chilling effect of our "material support" laws is not hypothetical, but real. In 2002, for example, officials of the University of California at San Diego directed two student groups to remove links from their Web sites to the Web sites of groups that the U.S. State Department had identified as "terrorist organizations." The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and others petitioned the school to reverse course, arguing that its construction of the term "material support" was overbroad and would prevent any professor, student, or campus news organization from using links for scholarly and reportorial purposes. As AAUP wrote to the University, "Americans have a right to inform themselves about any group, no matter how abhorrent its positions. Acts in furtherance of terrorism are prohibited; speech about it is not." In February -- nearly three months ago -- I wrote to the Attorney General to ask how the Department interprets some of the terms included in the "material support" definition. I have yet to receive a response from the Attorney General. I hope to get some answers from our witnesses today. Specific Intent Requirement A second problem that courts have identified in this area relates to the level of intent required for conviction. As we all know, intent - or mens rea -- is a crucial component of our criminal justice system. The first material support statute, section 2339A, is straightforward on the issue of intent. It prohibits providing material support or resources, "knowing or intending that they are to be used in preparation for, or in carrying out, [a terrorist act]." By contrast, section 2339B appears to criminalize the provision of material support to a designated terrorist organization, regardless of whether the defendant had a specific intent to further the organization's unlawful ends. In prosecuting cases under this statute, the Government has argued that a defendant may be convicted for providing support to an organization even if he did not know the organization had been designated as a "terrorist organization," and even if his sole intent was to further the organization's lawful humanitarian goals. Courts have resisted this interpretation, and for good reason. Otherwise, as one court noted, a woman who buys cookies from a bake sale outside of her grocery store to help displaced Kurdish refugees find new homes could be held liable so long as the bake sale had a sign that said the sale was sponsored by the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or "PKK", without regard to her knowledge of the organization's designation or other activities. Or to take another example, Pentagon advisor Richard Perle could perhaps be considered to have violated the material support law earlier this year, when he spoke at a charity event sponsored by at least three organizations with ties to a designated terrorist organization. Mr. Perle believed he was assisting the Iran earthquake victims when he delivered the paid speech. Designation of Terrorist Organizations A third concern about section 2339B, also being challenged in the courts, relates to the process for designating organizations as "terrorist organizations." In a criminal prosecution under section 2339B, may the defendant challenge the State Department's designation of the organization he is alleged to have supported? Courts have gone both ways on this question. Conclusion I have noted a few areas in which the material support laws need work. There may be others. I hope we can make some progress this morning. One of the dangers with vague statutes that accord maximum discretion to prosecutors is that we prosecutors have to be cognizant of our power and make judgments. When prosecutors overreach, overuse a provision, or overcharge, it puts pressure on the courts to rein them in and on the construction of the statute itself. Sometimes Congress is called upon to revisit an area and clarify the law to do what is intended. Former Assistant Attorney General Viet Dinh, who has been a staunch defender of the USA PATRIOT Act, has recognized the need to clarify the material support laws to avoid government overreaching. In January 2004, he said: "I think we can all agree that there are certain core activities that constitute material support for terrorists, which should be prohibited, and others which would not be prohibited. Congress needs to take a hard look and draw the lines very clearly to make sure that we do not throw out the baby with the bath water." Today's hearing gives us an opportunity to discuss where those lines should be drawn. # # # # # |

Emma Watson's Style Transformation
It's been a long time since she first starred in Harry Potter as a 9-year-old. See her grow up on the red carpet.
Plus, see our cover shoot with Emma and read our exclusive interview!
By Julia Morpurgo
November 3, 2010 8:00 AMOctober 2001
On the set of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone — the first film of the hit fantasy franchise — a young Watson poses with her wizarding costars, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.
November 2001
Even at her earliest Harry Potter premieres (and in varying shades of olive green!), Watson displayed a natural charm and charisma on the red carpet — qualities that have guided her through her skyrocketing career, both as an actress and fashion icon.
November 2001
At the British premiere of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, an 11-year-old Watson matched a gray floor-length dress with fun, age-appropriate accessories — a purple boa and lavender python boots.
November 2002
The following year, at the premiere of the second Harry Potter installment, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Watson added some edge to her long chiffon dress with a brown leather jacket and boots.
May 2004
Now comfortable on the red carpet, the young starlet ditched the Hermione frizz for a more polished, feminine look with a side chignon. Another chic fashion choice: embellished flats.
May 2004
While promoting Prisoner of Azkaban, Watson and costar Daniel Radcliffe charmed the crowd at MTV's Total Request Live. Perhaps inspired by music legend Michael Jackson, Watson sported a studded military jacket for the occasion.
May 2004
At a London party for the U.K. premiere of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Watson debuted her glamorous side in a floor-length plum evening gown with matching floral accents on both her dress and in her hair.
September 2004
At the U.K. premiere of the movie, Wimbledon, Watson — whose love of tennis brought her to see the film — looked radiant in a floral-embroidered kimono, and metallic gold flats.
November 2005
At the New York premiere of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a 14-year-old Watson looked elegant in a charcoal blue skirt and top. This look foreshadowed the mature sophistication Watson would later model for the likes of Burberry and Chanel.
June 2007
At 16, the actress wore a Chanel haute couture collection gown to the Raisa Gorbachev Foundations Second Annual Gala in support of childhood cancer research. (Is it coincidence that the golden fringe pattern is reminiscent of Harry Potters infamous lightning scar? You decide.)
June 2007
Watson looked lovely alongside her longtime costars at a London event for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in a knee-length olive dress.
December 2007
The actress arrived at the Chanel Paris Londres Collection Show in London in head-to-toe black — with heels, a leather jacket, and a Chanel shoulder bag.
February 2008
The stylish star attended the London opening of a Burberry-hosted photography exhibition — wearing none other than Burberry.
July 2008
For the Cartier international polo match, the 18-year-old actress looked absolutely enchanting with dark makeup and a delicate ivory dress.
October 2008
Watson was a knockout at the Diesel Rock & Roll Circus at Brooklyn's Pier 3 in a black and gold dress.
December 2008
Watson turned heads at the Hollywood premiere of The Tale of Despereaux in a more grown-up version of her November 2005 frock — a form-fitting navy mini-dress by William Tempest.
February 2009
With seven films under her belt, the actress worked her magic on the London red carpet of The 2009 Orange British Academy Film Awards. She looked stunning in a floor-length, embellished Temperley London gown.
June 2009
At a Rodarte event in London, Watson sported a one-shouldered dress by the designers. The actress paired the draped frock with understated hair and makeup for an avant-garde fashion statement.
July 2009
At the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Hermione Granger herself didnt let the rain stop her from looking radiant in a plunging pink and gray vintage dress from iconic British designer Ossie Clark.
July 2009
At the films New York premiere, Watson chose a sexy leather-top dress from Proenza Schoulers resort collection. The classic-yet-edgy look was just right for the first-year Brown undergrad.
September 2009
At London Fashion Weeks Burberry Show, the Burberry spokesmodel dazzled the crowd in this gold mini dress, paired with towering black platforms and a leather-braided belt.
May 2010
All grown up, the 20-year-old wore a custom one-shouldered Burberry gown to the Metropolitan Museums annual costume ball in New York City.
June 2010
At Englands Glastonbury Festival, Watson pulled off a red carpet look in the midst of the English countryside. Her Louis Vuitton corset paired with Hudson denim shorts and Christian Louboutin boots showed her knack for working runway into everyday.

ipad please help looking for a schematic.
That's not a schematic, if that's what you meant. Otherwise I'm not sure what you are getting at.
I doubt anyone but Apple's engineers have schematics for the iPad. Even repair shops will find that kind of detail of little use. These days it is cheaper to replace the board/component than take the time (equipment and training) to do onboard repairs. Like so many older tech skills, component level repair has become a hobby.
Sure, a picture s worth a thousand words, but not always the right words.
twerppoet types much wisdom.
The USAF stopped training for component level general repair back in 1988 if memory serves. While I was grateful for the training I got in '86, I haven't used it for a business application since 1990.
Facts are the first casualty of bad information.

I miss the magic of component electronics; though even then the writing was on the wall.

perhaps fixing games consuls is a possible way for you to go then, either buy broken to repair and re-sell, or repair broken ones sent to you.Originally Posted by twerppoet
in my case, as an electronics engineer i always think i can do whatever better than what has been done before , i work mainly in bespoke security systems, often re-design an item to be a better fit, or fit more situations than the original concepts required, once i conquer the problem i move on, not wanting to keep re-inventing the wheel so to speak.

The appearance of unexpected new evidence has once again delayed a preliminary hearing for Billy Kissner of Cedaredge, charged with second degree murder in the death of his wife, Rayelynn, at their home in 2010.
In a joint motion before Judge Sandra Miller, district attorney Dan Hotsenpiller and defense attorney R.L. Benjamin asked that Kissner's hearing be delayed for a second time because of "new discovery" in the case.
The prosecution and defense are still evaluating how the new evidence will affect their cases, Hotsenpiller said. "We are still talking about a lot of things," he told Judge Miller. The new evidence involves "additional statements."
Benjamin added that the evidence is "wholly new information" in the case.
Kissner's preliminary hearing was rescheduled for Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. Miller scheduled two hours to hear the matter.
A preliminary hearing is a criminal law proceeding that is held to determine whether there is probable cause to believe the defendant committed a crime within jurisdiction of the court. Therefore, the appearance of wholly new evidence affecting the case is important to the defendant's right to a fair trial.

lovely and soft fabric.
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
Good fit. Am using this item as a short sleeved pyjama top as i usually order v-necks for t-shirts.
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
It is comfortable and soft to wear. Sometimes it appears a little twisted over the bust.
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
Again a nice bright colour and seems good quality. Functioal rather than fashionable which suits me, I'm not grumbling.
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
Telephone service is excellent & goods are despatched quickly. Also, the quality of the goods is excellent. Delivery precedures need addressing.
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
I am very pleased to find such a good quality t-shirt in a length that fits me and in a wide range of colours. Most t-shirts are far too long for me but the petite size in these is ideal. They are not cheap when compared with high street prices but knowing Lands End quality, they will probably last many times longer. And it's worth the price for me to have a t-shirt that actually fits!
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
Lovely tee shirt, soft feel and good quality
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
The finest cotton, plus a petite size, what more can I ask?
Comments about Women's Supima Short Sleeve Crew Neck:
The Supima crew in terms of fabric is excellent. but the style is too masculine. It could be shaped a little to make it more feminine - it is too wide and 'boxy' and the wide neckline band makes it look more like a man's t-shirt. I have bought some about 8 years ago and the band around the neck was much narrower which made the neckline sat better. But it also was not 'shaped'; - I know the relaxed fit is popular but some of us are quite small and the relaxed fit is just too large! Thank you.

How To Measure
If possible, get a friend to help. To be sure of accurate readings, measure over the undergarments you'll be wearing with your purchase, not over your outer clothing. If you need a tape measure, please e-mail us or call us, and we'll whisk one off to you absolutely free!
Stand in bare feet with your feet slightly apart and your back to a wall. Measure from the top of your head to the floor.
With arms relaxed at your sides, measure the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
If you need help, call!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us on 0845 0123 000.
Please Note
Use the size charts above to find your Lands' End (US) Size. If your measurements fall between two sizes, pick the next smaller size — unless you prefer a roomier fit.

2007-04-02 | YDRCsigma2, a Ty3 LTR on Chromosome IV, was mistakenly annotated on the wrong strand (i.e., on Crick instead of Watson). Both the orientation and the feature name have been corrected, so that the LTR now has the systematic name YDRWsigma2 and is annotated on the Watson strand. The name YDRCsigma2 is being retained as an alias. |

A thrilling, funny, fast-paced contemporary remake of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic.
In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early 21st century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard's detective inspector Lestrade because he's actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan 'peace-keeping' fights, less adoring and more active.

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
This wine is the true expression of Carneros-in-a-glass, though structurally its bigger than our usual house style. Fruit sets the tone: cherries, plums and orange blossoms. Nicely integrated oak supports the fruit. Notes of baking spice add interest. Serious at first, this Pinot is creamy in the mid-palate and the finish goes on and on. While ready to drink now, it will clearly benefit from bottle aging.

Some bosses just don't understand...
This started as an animatic for our upcoming animated sketch comedy series and grew from there. I figured I would post it here to get some reactions.
Hope you enjoy.
-Update- 10.28.08
I added a quality toggle switch to see if that helps people's crashing problems and optimized the sound to try and help reduce slowing or pauses. These changes should be in place within the next day or so (pending admin approval).
-Update- 10.27.08
1.) Front page! Awesome! Thanks to everyone at newgrounds!
2.) I am working on fixing the crash problem some people are having however I can't seem to get it to happen on any of my computers. If people could PM me with where the cartoon crashed for them if it happens or with any possible fixes it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
-Update- 10.26.08
1.) Hey, Daily Third, thanks everyone for all the views and kind words.
2.) I have uploaded a new version with the music during the credits lowered. I'm not sure why it is freezing on some peoples computers but at the very least this will make the freeze (slightly) less annoying.

The Classicist: Thomas Pink Celebrates Englishmen in New York
LVMH-owned London shirtmaker and haberdasher Thomas Pink is celebrating a stylish forthcoming book called An Englishman In New York with an event and exhibit at its Madison Avenue flagship in New York on March 24. The volume of photographs by Jason Bell includes notables and notable dandies like Vogue's Hamish Bowles (above), Barneys' Simon Doonan and Sting, British to the core but also quintessential New Yorkers. Bell's photographs are currently on exhibit at at London's National Portrait Gallery, where the book has already been released; it's scheduled for publication here on April 1.
As an Englishman living in New York himself, Bell was inspired by the fact that there are 120,000 British men and women living in New York City – about the same amount as the entire population of Stamford, Connecticut. In addition to the above Bell photographed a diverse cross-section of British born figures, including taxi drivers, cops, construction workers, divers, helicopter pilots, chefs, burlesque dancers, drug dealers, UN ambassadors and dog walkers, all of whom tell stories about how they came to settle in New York.
"I went for a walk in Central Park with Sting, and for a cup of tea on Kate Winslet's roof terrace, sat on Zoë Heller's stoop and watched Stephen Daldry bicycle down 8th Avenue," Bell relates. "I was given a private tour of both the Metropolitan Museum and the Barneys' shop windows. I started with a blank canvas and was amazed by the number of Englishmen and women who have made such a large impact on the cultural life of the city. And amidst all the questions about why people had come here and what they had left behind, I learnt a little bit more about what it means to be English, what it means to be a New Yorker, and where the two intersect."
"We are extremely excited to be hosting an event to honour Jason and his brilliant work," says Jonathan Heilbron, President and CEO of Thomas Pink. "Thomas Pink itself is 'An Englishman in New York.' We opened our Madison Avenue Flagship store over 13 years ago and New York has come to be a second home and major market for our brand. Thomas Pink is English at heart but we are truly a New Yorker too." [cont'd]
We have a preview of the photos in the gallery below; here's an excerpt from the musings of Doonan, who moved to New York in 1885: "My first home was a ratty hotel on 44th street called the Iroquois, which is where you stayed when you couldn't afford the Algonquin. I was very into Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley and all those funny drunken people, so i loved the idea of being there. back then New York was Midnight Cowboy and it's amazing how much of that film is still a very accurate depiction: you have your Upper East Side women turned out in their designer clothes, your 'Ratso' Rizzo characters turning tricks and hustling. It's not as sleazy as it was then but there's still that sense of hustle. In the film there's an incredible mix of people, from artists to bums and from hustlers to duchesses; New York is still very much that way."

By Treadmill Indiana (Fort Wayne IN) on Jan 1, 2010
Comments: The treadmill was heavy and we had problems getting it from the door to our workout room. I would recommend paying extra for home installation. It is a very solid treadmill which my wife and I use for walking during the cold months. We have had it a year now and I would recommend as a good buy. The only problem we have had is the IFIT light blinks and is annoying. I was told buy this site that it is an IFIT problem, so they gave me IFITS number. I called them and they said it was normal because it was reading the SD card. I told them it did not do it for the 1st 6 months. I think they wanted me to go away. What happened to customer service ?
Experience the ultimate in interactive training with the NordicTrack T9 ci treadmill. Simply slide your finger across the iFit® Touch Display and watch your workout come to life - simply slide, touch and go. And, with built-in Competition Training, the T9 will help you discover the champion within, allowing you to race, head-to-head, against a team of virtual competitors - ready, set, get fit.

On Tuesday Governor Perry and Lt. Governor David Dewhurst announced their support for drug testing applicants of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program. TANF was created to help families in need, particularly children, and already includes a provision that requires applicants to, "Train for a job or look for employment if capable" and, "not abuse drugs or alcohol."
The saga continues in Kountze, Texas over cheerleaders using religious scripture on football banners. Governor Rick Perry and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott say they support freedom of all religion but their actions show their intent is to establish a defacto Christian government claiming there's a "moral basis for the legal code" outlined in the Ten Commandments. The truth is as more nonpartisan groups review the facts in this case its increasingly beginning to look like the cheerleaders are being exploited for political gain.
Governor Perry Skyped with Kountze cheerleaders and expressed his support for putting Christian scripture on their high school football team's run-through banners. In the short video the Governor cited scripture and compared the school board to the Sanhedrin that commanded Jesus' disciples not teach or speak in his name.
Hidden behind the pine curtain, a small East Texas town has erupted into a frenzy after school officials banned religious banners held by cheerleaders during high school football games. Kountze ISD Superintendent Kevin Weldon told the students to cease the practice after he received advice from his legal council to comply with an anonymous complaint.
Quick wrap-up of news pertaining to the ongoing Republican primary runoffs here in Texas:
Crazy People for Cruz! Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Rand "Son of Ron" Paul an Mike Lee are coming to Texas to campaign for Ted Cruz. Also actively supporting him is shamed radio psychopath Glenn Beck and one-man Dick Armey, who will also attend a rally in Dallas for Cruz. Source: AP
Rick Perry stumping for JM Lozano: This week in advance of the Democratic turncoat's runoff next Tuesday, our Republican Governor has taken a trip down south to bolster his campaign. This comes after Lozano voted against two of Perry's "emergency items" — photo voter ID and sanctuary cities legislation — during last session. I guess when Lozano sold his soul, he exacted a pretty high price from the Republican leadership. Maybe they're just desperate to find a Hispanic Republican who won't get "Victor Carillo'ed" this cycle. Source: KRIS TV
$21 Trillion in Tax Havens: The Guardian published a lengthy piece on the $21tn in assets currently hidden offshore, wealth that would close many developing nations' budgetary gaps and alleviate the need for much humanitarian aide.

Any news in your neck of the woods? Post about it here
Rick Perry wasn't happy about President Obama's visit to Texas last week. His office released this statement:
Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement on President Barack Obama's visit to Texas:"Perhaps while the President is visiting Texas, he can take a break from big-dollar fundraisers to disavow his Attorney General's offensive and incendiary comments regarding our common-sense voter identification law.
"In labeling the Texas voter ID law as a "poll tax," Eric Holder purposefully used language designed to inflame passions and incite racial tension. It was not only inappropriate, but simply incorrect on its face.
"The president should apologize for Holder's imprudent remarks and for his insulting lawsuit against the people of Texas."
Attorney General General Eric Holder is, in fact, challenging Texas' Voter ID laws passed in May…because they do disenfranchise minority voters. Specifically, Hispanic voters who make up such a significant part of Texas's voting population.
ThinkProgress explains:
Texas passed an election law overhaul last May which included a requirement that voters present a certain form of government-issued photo ID or be turned away from the polls. Neither Student IDs nor Social Security or Medicaid cards, and no exceptions are allowed for the poor or elderly. Unlike some states which ask for photo ID but have recourse such as a provisional ballot for voters who lack an acceptable ID, the Texas law simply turned away these folks.
Now that SCOTUS has ruled that the Affordable Care Act is mostly here to stay, Republican state leaders, with Rick Perry at the forefront, are doing everything they can to avoid implementation.
Despite the 4.5 million Texans insured through Medicaid who otherwise would not be able to afford coverage, Perry recently stated that adding people to Medicaid is like "adding people to the Titanic." Accordingly, he's limiting Medicaid expansion in Texas - an expansion that would have been required as part of the ACA, but is now optional. And the price paid for all the posturing is that a lot of people who could stand to benefit tremendously from the ACA now won't. Politico reports: "Perry's decision means as many as 1.3 million people who could have gained coverage under the Medicaid expansion won't get it, according to figures from the Urban Institute. That's more than any other state that has given a definite 'no' to the Medicaid expansion, including Florida."
The chart below, courtesy of the Washington Post, shows that Texas has some of the most to gain from the ACA. Currently only families under about 30 percent of the federal poverty line are covered by Medicaid - a fact that will fortunately remain unchanged despite Perry's feelings about Medicaid. It's also fortunate that families between 100 and 133 percent of the poverty line will now be eligible for subsidies to buy a private plan, again regardless of Perry. But families between 22 percent and 100 percent of the poverty line in Texas - families who were supposed to receive Medicaid - will receive neither Medicaid nor subsidies to help them purchase insurance. Because they were supposed to receive Medicaid, the subsidies were never allocated for them.
Texas Democrats have a strong new leader in TDP Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa. Today, he sent out this no-holds-barred email to Texas Democrats about the truly evil, wholly political decision that Rick Perry made to refuse to implement Obamacare. His decision leaves millions of Texans uninsured - and Chairman Hinojosa isn't about to let it slide.
We reported yesterday that Rick Perry has made clear his refusal to accept the Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act, in a gutless and inhumane effort to remain politically relevant and deny low-income Texans access to affordable, quality health insurance.
A recent article from the Dallas Morning News makes clear that Perry's decision will just pass the buck down to property tax payers, since our emergency rooms and healthcare districts will continue to shoulder the cost of folks who don't have health insurance. Perry could have helped put between 1.5 and 1.8 million Texans on the Medicaid rolls. His stubborn refusal to care for the working poor of his state is shameful, and it's also bad economics for the county commissioners who now have to foot the bill for their ER care instead.
From the DMN:
If the Texas Legislature chooses not to expand its Medicaid rolls in 2014 to cover an additional 1.5 million people, counties and public hospitals would continue to shoulder the burden of paying for the uninsured, who often seek expensive care in emergency rooms.Unlike many states, Texas does not directly subsidize the cost of caring for the uninsured. Instead, taxpayers in Dallas County and elsewhere help pick up that tab through property taxes that support safety-net hospitals such as Parkland Memorial Hospital.
Just because Perry won't give low-income Texans health insurance doesn't mean they won't get sick or need medical care. The problem is, his decision forces many of these folks to continue to rely on the emergency room, and pass the cost on to the healthcare districts in their areas, who in turn may need to raise property taxes to keep up with our growing low-income, uninsured population.
Some experts have even suggested that the Medicaid expansion could result in lower county tax rates for healthcare districts due to the increased revenue these hospitals would receive from Medicaid patients — i.e. Medicaid would be paying for their care, not the county tax payers via property taxes to the healthcare districts.
While conservatives are patting Rick Perry on the back for sticking it to the feds and the poors, remember this — really, he's sticking it to property taxpayers, who are going to end up footing the bill for medical care for those whom Rick Perry willfully forces to remain uninsured.
