Close to tri-rail station and I-95Posted Sep 19, 2016
I picked the hotel due to it's location. Rooms were pretty clean however the hallways could have used more attention. Rooms were a little dated. I came in late one night, and there was no staff in sight.

its ok.Posted Sep 2, 2016
Rooms were clean. About 5 mins from Deerfield beach without traffic. Staff was friendly. I didn't go to the pool so I can't comment on that. Breakfast was ok. There were fruit, waffles, boiled eggs (no scrambled eggs), toast, cereal and muffins. No meat like sausage links, ham, etc.

Umm, yeah...Posted May 13, 2016 on Hotels
We were given a room next to the rubbage room, so the smell was awful! The entire 3rd floor smelled of garbage!The breakfast lounge was pretty bad. The hotel clerk was not too friendly. I assume the adults allowed kids to get pancake batter all over the floor and it was never cleaned up by the staff. The orange juice was just orange water as well as the apple juice. The ONLY good thing that I can say about this location is that the water pressure was awesome, and the beds were pretty good..clean room! The bathroom as a whole? Well the door almost hits the toilet when you open it. Hardly any room to change your mind!

Drained oil today - think it's an oil passageway plug - anyone know where this originated & cause for concern? 11k on the clock & she's been running great.
Not exactly sure what it is but there is no marks on it from it going thru a gear or causing any motor damage. Also there was no other metal shavings on the drain plug
What to do? 😩🔫

(Open WinSCP and enter IP Address, then on Name type: root and for P/W: alpine) Step 3: You will see Media and Library when you first start. Go back by clicking the VERY FIRST FOLDER with the arrow. It will take you back a bunch of other folders. Look for a folder called, "stash". Open it and look for another folder called Themes.xxxxxx Open it Step 4: Leave page where it is. That is your Winter board folder! Next, minimize WinSCP. Part II: Okay! Now for the Installation! Step 5: Go to Cydia and add repo: david.ashman.com/beta Step 6: Once downloaded, go into the source.

Loss of Alumus, Former Administrator Dr. Gordon Stork
We join our friends in the North American Baptsit Conferencein mourning the loss of alumnus Dr. Gordon Stork (MDiv & MACO '86; DMin '97), who served as an NAB Regional Minister, pastor, and former administrator at Sioux Falls Seminary.
Mentor Teams, Contextual Learning Good Ideas - Kairos Project Series
As we enter into the third year of the Kairos Project at Sioux Falls Seminary, I am more convinced than ever that mentor teams and contextual learning are great ideas. This reality should come as a surprise to no one.
Agile Program Development - Kairos Project Series
Agile Program Development is a method by which schools can develop programs that meet a need and are responsive to student and market realities. This philosophy embraces the idea that we are not the keepers of pedagogical truth.
Curricula, Assessment, and Efficiency - Kairos Project Series
As we enter the third year of this project, it is helpful to reflect on some of the early results and what we have learned. Today, we look at results as they relate to the impact Kairos has had on curricula, assessment, and efficiency.
Enrollment and Reach - Kairos Project Series
The Kairos Project has been up and running at Sioux Falls Seminary for two academic years. We are entering our third year, and students in the program account for nearly one-half of all the seminary's master-level students. We have learned a lot over the past two years.
Where Are They Now? - Kairos Project Series
Two years ago, Sioux Falls Seminary embarked on a remarkable journey as we launched a new educational paradigm called the Kairos Project. In our first announcement about the program, we talked about our desire to shift the focus of theological education.
Thanking God for His Continued Blessings
The new academic year began last Monday. Students returned to campus and are journeying together on the road of theological education. Faculty and administration are committed to making theological education more affordable, accessible, and relevant as they remain faithful to their calling as servants of God.
Reclaimed: Discover Your Role in God's Story
We have been planning our annual Women in Community event. We are very excited for Friday, September 23! This week, we'll preview Women in Community by learning more about Christy Fay, guest speaker, and her call to join God in the renewal of all things.
Faithful to the Call: Remembering Alumnus Randy Reese
Alumnus Randy Reese (M.Div. '93), who passed away on August 11, was one of the seminary's alumni who serves others and builds up the body of Christ. He poured his passion into the leadership development of others and remained faithful to his call.
Academic Year, Students Reminder of Mission
Empty parking spaces and classroom chairs will soon be full. The return of students and the sense of community they bring serve as reminders that God has brought us together for a very specific purpose. Our students, new and returning, are at the core of our mission.

Most Helpful
I'm surprised this doesn't have better reviews. I thought it was great, but I just love ricotta cheese. I chopped up the broccoli into mini pieces and I used medium shells because it was for a potluck and I wanted there to be more mini ones.
I just did not care for the combination of broccoli with ricotta and pasta sauce. My kids picked the broccoli out... maybe if I had chopped it up smaller...
This was a good recipe, thank you. Next time i might try varying the veggies a little shredded carrots and zucchini too. my meat loving husband enjoyed it as well

text: TapCreator Beta 1 A Custom Song Creator for Tap Tap Revenge I have been busy with school for a while, and loaded with homework. but I have found the time to complete yet another one of my projects. TapCreator is a Windows application (Sorry Please Register or Log in to view images) written in Visual Basic .NET which simplifies the task of creating .tap files and converting the songs to the .m4a format. Note To jchaike: As I have said before, I apologize for criticizing your app. It is true that it would not even run on my computer, but I might have exaggerated about the bugs, and I was not attempting to form any problems. I simply created this with good intentions of building upon what has already been made to form something newer and better. My apologies once again. How To Use It: You MUST have a jailbroken iPhone/iPod. To play the songs, simply put the contents of the "Songs" folder in: var/mobile/Applications/(Find the one with TapTap.app inside)/TapTap.app/Tracks After that, you can fire up Tap Tap Revenge, and try it out. Important Quick Note: Sadly due to a restriction in Windows Please Register or Log in to view imagesmadPlease Register or Log in to view images you can not put certain characters (\ / : * ?

The update about the Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie divorce is heartbreaking. It seems Pitt cries for his kids and misses them. Will Jolie change her mind and reconsider the decision?
The Salt actress filed the separation papers on Sept. 19. Jolie asked for full physical custody while Pitt got visitation rights.
A source from In Touch magazine (via Hollywood Life) revealed the emotional reunion of Pitt and their six children. A DCFS (Department of Children Family Services) personnel was also there to accompany the actor.
"Once the kids came in, [Brad Pitt] lit up. He had tears in his eyes and tried to hold it together because he didn't want them to get upset because he was crying," the insider claimed.
"The visit was gut-wrenching. Vivienne, 8, and Zahara, 11, both started crying, asking when they could go home [to Brad's compound in LA's Los Feliz neighborhood]," the source added. Pitt also explained the presence of a social worker in a more positive way.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have six kids: Maddox (15), Zahara (11), Pax (12), Shiloh (10), and twins Knox and Vivienne (8). They tied the knot in 2014.
The former couple met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith which was out more than a decade ago. However, it appears that Jolie has hinted at problems regarding their relationship in one interview for the 2015 film By The Sea.
According to a previous report, Jolie cited Pitts' alcohol and substance abuse as the reason for divorce. Aside from that, the ex-wife also cited his parenting methods.
"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids," Pitt said in a statement to CNN hours after the divorce news went public. "I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
What would be the ending of Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie divorce? Find out in ANN soon.

Country life
From Wikiquote
Country life is the lifestyle associated with those who live in rural areas, as opposed to to living in cities or their suburbs.
- Nor rural sights alone, but rural sounds
Exhilarate the spirit, and restore
The tone of languid Nature.
- William Cowper, The Task (1785), Book I, line 181.
- The town is man's world, but this (country life) is of God.
- William Cowper, The Task (1785), Book V, line 16.
- How happy in his low degree,
How rich in humble poverty, is he,
Who leads a quiet country life;
Discharged of business, void of strife,
And from the griping scrivener free!
Thus, ere the seeds of vice were sown.
Lived men in better ages born,
Who plough'd, with oxen of their own,
Their small paternal field of corn.
Nor trumpets summon him to war,
Nor drums disturb his morning sleep,
Nor knows he merchants' gainful care,
Nor fears the dangers of the deep.
The clamours of contentious law,
And court and state, he wisely shuns,
Nor bribed with hopes, nor dared with awe,
To servile salutations runs.
- John Dryden, Imitation of Horace (1685), 2nd Epode
- The country is no more left as it was originally created, than Belgrave Square remains its pristine swamp. The forest has been felled, the marsh drained, the enclosures planted, and the field ploughed. All these, begging Mr. Cowper's pardon, are the works of man's hands ; and so is the town—the one is not more artificial than the other.
- Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1833 (1832), 'Linmouth'
- Philosophers are moral, and poets are picturesque about the country.
- Letitia Elizabeth Landon, The New Monthly Magazine (1834), 'Calendar of the London Seasons' page 425
- The country is lyric,—the town dramatic. When mingled, they make the most perfect musical drama.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Kavanagh: A Tale (1849), Chapter XIII.
- Rus in urbe.
- Country in town.
- Martial, Epigrams (c. 80-104 AD), Book XII. 57. 21.
Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations[edit]
- Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 140-41.
- The East bow'd low before the blast,
In patient, deep disdain.
She let the legions thunder past,
And plunged in thought again.
- Matthew Arnold, Obermann Once More, Stanza 28.
- There are Batavian graces in all he says.
- Benjamin Disraeli, Retort to Beresford Hope (descended from an Amsterdam family), who had referred to Disraeli as an "Asian Mystery".
- O crassum ingenium. Suspicor fuisse Batavum.
- Oh, dense intelligence. I suspect that it was Batavian (i.e. from the Netherlands-Batavia).
- Erasmus, Naufragium.
- A land flowing with milk and honey.
- Exodus, III. 8; Jeremiah, XXXII. 22.
- I hate the countrie's dirt and manners, yet
I love the silence; I embrace the wit;
A courtship, flowing here in full tide.
But loathe the expense, the vanity and pride.
No place each way is happy.
- William Habington, To my Noblest Friend, I. C. Esquire.
- Far from the gay cities, and the ways of men.
- Homer, The Odyssey, Book XIV, line 410. Pope's translation.
- To one who has been long in city pent,
'Tis very sweet to look into the fair
And open face of heaven,—to breathe a prayer
Full in the smile of the blue firmament.
- John Keats, Sonnet XIV, line 1.
- And as I read
I hear the crowing cock, I hear the note
Of lark and linnet, and from every page
Rise odors of ploughed field or flowery mead.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Chaucer.
- Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old-fashion'd country seat,
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar-trees their shadows throw;
And from its station in the hall
An ancient time-piece says to all,—
"Forever! never!
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Old Clock on the Stairs.
- Mine be a cot beside the hill;
A beehive's hum shall soothe my car;
A willowy brook, that turns a mill,
With many a fall, shall linger near.
- Samuel Rogers, A Wish.
- Nec sit terris ultima Thule.

The hotel room is clean and tidy. It is located in a scenic place however the management need to maintain it properly. I found the rumali rotis with dal tadka very tasty at the restaurant. The staff should get more efficient.

What you need to do to remove someone's name from a property title
A property title is a land titling document that lists the names of the registered owners of a property. It's an important legal document that you're likely to come across when you're buying or selling a house.
Sometimes in life, it will become necessary to have someone's name removed from a property title. For example, your marriage may be ending in divorce and you need to remove your spouse's name from the document, or perhaps the original property owner has passed away.
Whatever the case may be, read on to find out the process you need to follow to get a name removed from a property title. Reading this from the US? Read our guide to removing names from a property deed on finder.com Guide to changing property ownership
How to remove someone's name from a property title
The exact process you will need to follow to have someone's name removed from a property title will vary between states and territories. You can perform these tasks yourself, but most people seek the services of a conveyancer or lawyer. You'll generally have to complete the following steps:
- Fill out a transfer of title form. You can find this form online at the relevant state government department's website. You'll need to provide proof of identification for each party involved in the transfer.
- Submit the form. Submit the signed transfer form and any other evidence that may be required to your state's land department.
- Pay the fee. Although circumstances can vary depending on where you live and your reasons for changing the title, you'll typically have to pay a fee to have your form processed.
- Lodge the form. Once the fee has been paid, you can lodge your form and wait for it to be processed.
Depending on your circumstances, you may need to follow extra steps to ensure the process runs smoothly. For example, if you have a mortgage on the property, you'll need your lender's consent to have someone's name removed from the property title. This may also involve getting new mortgage documents drawn up. It may also be necessary to have a formal separation agreement prepared by your solicitors if you're getting divorced. If you're gifting a property to your children, which would involve having your name removed from the title and your child's name added, you'll have to pay capital gains tax (CGT) for doing so. This tax is based on the property's market value, not the price you charge your children.
State websites
How is tax treated when removing a name from a property title?
It's possible to take care of this process entirely on your own, but land title laws and the tax treatment of property transfers can be confusing, so it's often in your best interest to enlist the services of a conveyancer or solicitor. This is the best way to ensure that all the necessary paperwork is done correctly and you don't end up with any nasty surprises – such as fines – down the line.
Stamp duty
Typically, transferring ownership of a home from one person to another requires you to pay stamp duty. However, in cases where you are having someone removed from a property title due to divorce, the best thing to do is draw up a formal separation agreement with the help of your lawyers. This legal document details the obligations of both parties and how you'll split your assets, which may help you avoid stamp duty and save you thousands of dollars. If you need a name removed from your property title for reasons other than a marriage breakdown, you'll be slugged with a stamp duty charge.
Capital gains tax (CGT)
As a personal asset, your home is exempt from CGT. However, if you sell an investment property or gift it to someone else, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) defines this as a CGT event and you will need to pay CGT. If you're unsure about a tax matter relating to property, get professional advice before selling or gifting it. Although it can be a confusing issue to deal with, removing someone's name from a property title is simple to take care of once you know the correct policies and procedures to follow. Whether you're gifting a property to someone else or you're splitting up assets after a marriage breakdown, seeking help from a conveyancer or solicitor is often the best way to go. This will ensure that the entire process is managed efficiently and effectively.

How does a title transfer differ from a name change?
A title transfer normally involves adding or removal a name from the title deed which can be completed by filling out a transfer of title form. However, a name change (which may become necessary as a result of marriage, divorce or death), involves submitting the appropriate record of name change with your state government department.Back to top

RAYMOND BROWN, PETITIONER,v.DARWIN LACLAIRE, SUPERINTENDENT, GREAT MEADOW CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, RESPONDENT.
Pro se Petitioner Raymond Brown, a New York state prisoner, seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 following his plea of guilty to one count of murder in the second degree. Petitioner contends that he felt "coercive pressure" to plead guilty to the murder charge, because the same judge's conduct during a previous trial convinced him that he could not receive a fair trial in front of the same judge.*fn1
For the reasons discussed below, the Court DENIES the petition. First, Petitioner's claim is barred because Petitioner did not raise it in his first motion to vacate the judgment resulting from his guilty plea pursuant to New York Criminal Procedure Law ("CPL") § 440, and Petitioner has not demonstrated valid cause for this procedural default. Even if Petitioner could overcome the procedural bar, Petitioner's claim fails, in any event, on the merits. The state court's decision that Petitioner's coercion claim was "without merit" and "refuted by the record" was not contrary to, or an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). BACKGROUND
I. Proceedings in the Trial Court
On January 24, 2000, a Bronx County grand jury charged Petitioner (Indictment No. 425/2000, "No. 425") with the November 1999 murder of Dwayne Hamilton. On April 9, 2001, a second indictment was filed (Indictment No. 1786, "No. 1786"), charging Petitioner with two counts of attempted murder and other weapons-related offenses in connection with the April 1999 shooting of Xaviar Roman and the May 1999 shooting of Charles Cox.
The charges contained in the second indictment, No. 1786, were tried first, in May 2001, before Justice Phyllis Bamberger in Supreme Court, Bronx County. On May 30, 2001, a jury convicted Petitioner of two counts of attempted murder in the second degree, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (Petitioner's "trial convictions").
The following week, on June 4, 2001, Petitioner again appeared before Justice Bamberger, for trial on the first indictment, No. 425. Petitioner's counsel informed the court that his client wished to plead guilty to one count of murder in the second degree, with the understanding that he would receive a minimum sentence of fifteen years to life imprisonment on the murder conviction, and that this sentence would run concurrently with the sentence still to be imposed on the trial convictions.
The court explained that the disposition of this indictment would be independent from the trial convictions, and that if the trial convictions were later reversed on appeal, his guilty plea and sentence under this indictment "would stand." The court also explained that, by entering a guilty plea, Petitioner would waive his right to appeal his murder conviction, "except to challenge the knowingness and voluntariness of [the] plea and the legality of [the] sentence." (Killian Decl.; Ex. 1, Tr. 14-15.) After conferring with his attorney, Petitioner stated that he understood the terms of the plea.
The court asked Petitioner if anyone "had force[d] you to enter this plea to the murder case or [made] you do it against your will." Petitioner replied, "No, your honor. I spoke with my family and they say that it's the best, it's the best thing." The court inquired, "So you're doing this because you think this is the best way to resolve the case?" Petitioner replied, "Yes, your Honor." (Tr. 16.)
Finally, the court asked Petitioner to describe the events that took place on November 2, 1999. Petitioner stated that he "shot Dwayne Hamilton several times to cause his death." (Tr. 19-20)
On August 9, 2001, the court sentenced Petitioner pursuant to his trial convictions and his plea conviction. Pursuant to his trial convictions, the court sentenced Petitioner to an aggregate term of fifty years imprisonment: a determinate term of twenty-five years on each attempted murder conviction, to run consecutively, and terms of fifteen years and seven years on the two weapons possession convictions, to run concurrently with the other two terms of imprisonment. (No. 1786.) The court next sentenced Petitioner to an indeterminate sentence of fifteen years to life imprisonment for the Hamilton murder (No. 425), to run concurrently with the sentence imposed on Petitioner's trial convictions.
II. Appeals in the State Courts
A. Petitioner's First § 440 Motion
Over a year later, on October 29, 2002, Petitioner, in a pro se motion, moved the trial court to vacate the judgment of conviction on both indictments, pursuant to New York Criminal Procedure Law § 440.10, arguing that, inter alia, his status as an illegal alien deprived the court of jurisdiction, and that his counsel was ineffective in not raising this defense at trial. (See Killian Decl.; Ex. 2.) On April 28, 2003, the trial court denied the motion. (See Killian Decl.; Ex. 5.)
B. Petitioner's Direct Appeal
Petitioner also appealed both judgments, through his assigned appellate counsel. Petitioner's brief raised two issues, both of which concerned his trial convictions: (1) whether the trial court erred when it found that defense counsel's explanation for the exercise of a peremptory challenge was pre-textual under Batson v. Kentucky; and (2) whether the trial court improperly allowed evidence that Petitioner shot a third person (i.e., Dwayne Hamilton) pursuant to the identity exception to New York's Molineux rule. Petitioner also filed a pro se supplemental brief that raised a third issue: whether the trial court abused its discretion curtailing defense counsel's ability to effectively cross-examine the alleged victims. Petitioner did not raise any issue with respect to his guilty plea in either the brief prepared by assigned appellate counsel or his pro se brief. In fact, the brief prepared by assigned appellate counsel states that "no challenge is made below to the propriety of the conviction under Indictment No. 425/00 [Petitioner's plea conviction], and that conviction should therefore be affirmed." (Killian Decl.; Ex. 6, Br. at 3.)
On December 14, 2004, the New York State Appellate Division, First Department, rejected Petitioner's arguments and affirmed both judgments. People v. Brown, 13 A.D.3d 145 (1st Dept. 2004). Leave to appeal was denied on March 11, 2005.*fn2 People v. Brown, 4 N.Y.3d 828 (2005).
C. Petitioner's Second § 440 Motion
On June 24, 2004, during the time Petitioner's appeal to the Appellate Division was pending, Petitioner moved the trial court, now acting pro se, to vacate the judgment resulting from his guilty plea (Indictment No. 425), pursuant to CPL § 440.10 (Petitioner's "second § 440.10 motion"). Petitioner claimed that he was under "coercive pressure" when he pled guilty to the murder charge, due to "fear visited upon him" by the trial judge's statements and rulings during his earlier trial (Indictment No. 1786). Petitioner claimed that the judge's conduct at trial (1) demonstrated bias against Petitioner, and (2) convinced Petitioner that he would not receive a fair trial if he proceeded to trial on Indictment No. 425 in front of the same judge. Petitioner claimed that his guilty plea was involuntary and violated due process.
In support of his motion to vacate the murder conviction, Petitioner cited several exchanges between the judge and defense counsel during the trial. One of these exchanges occurred in connection with defense counsel's application to introduce certain of Petitioner's pre-trial statements (to rebut the prosecutor's use of other such admissions). Initially, the trial court rejected the application, opining that there was no case law to support the defendant's argument. (May 9 Tr. 5, 11-12; see Killian Decl.; Ex. 17, Br. 5.)*fn3 Overnight, the trial court did further research and discovered some case law that supported defense counsel's position. The judge expressed her displeasure with counsel (more so defense counsel) for not having alerted the court to the case law. (May 10 Tr. 24-25, 27) The judge stated that "if anybody knew this yesterday and didn't tell me even though I asked for it, I think you're behaving in a horrendous manner." (Tr. 25.) The following exchange ensued:
THE COURT: So if you know of some authority that supports your argument, it would be helpful if you cited it to me.
DEFENSE COUNSEL: I don't have one.
THE COURT: That's called sandbagging the judge, Mr. Torres, and I really don't appreciate that. I really don't.
DEFENSE COUNSEL: Do you think that... if I had a case I wouldn't give it to you? Do you think I want just one statement to come in? I made the argument, I had no authority for it. (Tr. 28.) Petitioner alleges he was "appalled" at this exchange and could not comprehend why the court was criticizing his attorney. (Killian Decl.; Ex. 11, Mem. 5; see also Ex. 17, Br. 6.)
Later, during jury selection, another conflict between the court and defense counsel (over what the judge described as defense counsel's record of having challenged "every white juror on this panel") prompted the judge to comment, "I'm really disturbed by your behavior in this case. I really find it unconscionable." (May 14-15 Tr. 243-44). The following exchange took place:
DEFENSE COUNSEL: I think you're exhibiting a certain amount of hostility towards me. I don't know where it's coming from, I don't care, but I do care that this man receive a fair trial and if you can't -
THE COURT: He's getting a very fair trial, Mr. Torres.
DEFENSE COUNSEL: If you can't refrain from continuing this hostility toward me personally, I would ask you to recuse yourself and let us try the case before a judge that can refrain from being hostile towards me infecting my client's rights. (Tr. 244.) Defense counsel then moved for a mistrial and recusal on the ground that: "there appears to be, the court has exhibited certain hostility towards me personally and has made comments about how I have been acting during this trial." (Tr. 260-61.) Defense counsel stated, on the record, that: "My client has expressed to me it's an appearance that this Court somehow disfavors me personally as a lawyer." (Tr. 263.) The judge responded that "she did not have time to dislike lawyers personally" but reiterated that she felt counsel had "sandbagged" the court by making an "important application with no authority at a time when I was mistaken about the law." The court denied the motions for a mistrial and for recusal. (Tr. 263-64.)
Petitioner alleged that, after these exchanges, he proceeded "in fear of the judge." Petitioner also alleged that he discussed his concern about the judge with his family and that they also "responded with fear."*fn4 Petitioner contends that: "It is difficult to believe that the defendant's witnessing of the trial judge's outrageous accusations [and improper rulings] did not have an effect (coercive pressure) on the defendant, to take the plea that was offered. The defendant's guilty plea should not stand, even if only in part it was motivated by duress visited on defendant." (Killian Decl.; Ex. 11, Mem. 7-8; see also Ex. 17, Br. 6-7.)
On August 5, 2004, the trial court denied Petitioner's second § 440.10 motion, relying on two procedural grounds: (1) pursuant to CPL § 440.10(2)(b), the claim should have been raised on direct appeal because "the record" of the plea and trial provided an adequate basis for review of the claim, and (2) pursuant to CPL § 440.10(3)(c), Petitioner was "in a position to adequately raise the claim" in his previous § 440 motion, but failed to do so. (See Killian Decl.; Ex. 14.)
On August 6, 2004, before Petitioner received a copy of the trial court's decision, Petitioner sent a reply memorandum to the court, arguing that his claim should not be barred under CPL § 440.10(3)(c) because he had not received a copy of the transcripts of the plea proceeding and the trial at the time he filed his first § 440 motion, and therefore was not in a position to adequately raise the coercion claim. The court treated Petition's memorandum as a motion to re-argue, and granted re-argument. In an opinion dated August 12, 2004, the court again denied Petitioner's motion. The court concluded that Petitioner was "obviously personally aware of all the circumstances that led him to enter that plea," and, thus, he did not need copies of the relevant transcripts in order to assert the claim that his plea was coerced. (See Killian Decl.; Ex. 16.)
On October 21, 2004, Petitioner, through assigned counsel, appealed the denial of his second § 440.10 motion. Petitioner argued that the trial court violated his constitutional rights to due process when it summarily denied this motion. On December 22, 2005, the Appellate Division affirmed the trial court's decision. The Appellate Division first concluded that the trial court properly exercised its discretion in summarily denying Petitioner's motion pursuant to CPL § 440.10(3)(c), because Petitioner was in a position to raise the claim in his previous § 440 motion.*fn5 The Appellate Division then concluded "[f]urthermore" that the motion was "without merit" because it was based "upon defendant's conclusory and otherwise unsupported claims, which were refuted by the record." People v. Brown, 24 A.D.3d 271 (1st Dept. 2005). (citing CPL § 440.30(4)(b), (d)).*fn6 On April 19, 2006, the New York State Court of Appeals denied Petitioner leave to appeal. People v. Brown, 6 N.Y.3d 846 (2005).
C. The Habeas Petition
On May 14, 2007, Petitioner filed the instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Dkt. No. 2.) Petitioner also applied for the appointment of counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(g). (Dkt. No. 3.)
In lieu of an answer, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the petition was untimely, because it was filed after the relevant one-year AEDPA statute of limitations. On March 26, 2009, this Court denied the motion to dismiss, finding that the statute of limitations should be equitably tolled because certain of Petitioner's legal papers were lost during his transfer between correctional facilities, and ordered Respondent to submit an answer. The Court also denied Petitioner's application for counsel without prejudice, with leave to renew after Respondent had answered. Brown v. Laclaire, 2009 WL 804131 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 26, 2009). (Dkt. No. 13.)
Respondent submitted a declaration and memorandum of law in opposition to Petitioner's motion on May 7, 2009 (Dkt. No. 14); and Petitioner submitted a declaration and memorandum of law in reply on June 25, 2009 (Dkt. No. 16). On July 9, 2009, Petitioner renewed his application for appointment of counsel. (Dkt. No. 17.) DISCUSSION
For the reasons discussed below, the Court denies the petition. The Court concludes that (1) Petitioner's challenge to his guilty plea is procedurally barred because Petitioner failed to raise his claim in his first motion to vacate the judgment resulting from his guilty plea; (2) Petitioner failed to demonstrate "cause" sufficient to overcome this procedural default; and (3) even if Petitioner could overcome the procedural bar, his claim must be denied, because the state court's determination that the claim was "without merit" is not contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law.
I. Procedural Default
A. Legal Standard
Federal courts may not review state court decisions that rest on an adequate and independent state procedural default, unless the prisoner can demonstrate cause for the default and actual prejudice as a result of the alleged violation of federal law, or demonstrate that a failure to consider the claims will result in a fundamental miscarriage of justice. Fama v. Commissioner of Correctional Services, 235 F.3d 804, 809 (2d Cir. 2000); see Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 750 (1991). However, procedural default in state court will bar federal habeas review only when "the last state court rendering a judgment in the case clearly and expressly states that its judgment rests on a state procedural bar." Glenn v. Bartlett, 98 F.3d 721, 724 (2d Cir. 1996) (quoting Harris v. Reed, 489 U.S. 255, 263 (1989)).
B. Application
In this case, habeas review is foreclosed because the New York State Appellate Division - the last state court rendering a judgment on Petitioner's claim - relied on Petitioner's failure to raise the coercion claim in his first § 440 motion as an independent ground in affirming the trial court's denial of the motion.*fn7 "Federal courts in this circuit have found [§ 440.10(3)(c)] to be [an] adequate and independent procedural bar[] for the purposes of federal habeas review." Collins v. Superintendent Conway, No. 04-Civ-4672, 2006 WL 1114053, *3 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 26, 2006); see Rosario v. Bennett, No. 01-Civ-7142, 2002 WL 31852827, *21 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 20. 2002); Ryan v. Mann, 73 F. Supp.2d 241, 248 (E.D.N.Y. 1998).
The fact that the Appellate Division also considered, in the alternative, the merits of Petitioner's due process claim does not - contrary to Petitioner's argument - make the claim amenable to federal review. Federal review is foreclosed "even where the state court has also ruled in the alternative on the merits of the federal claim." Glenn, 98 F.3d at 724 (quoting Velasquez v. Leonardo, 898 F.2d 7, 9 (2d Cir.1990); see Harris, 489 U.S. at 264 n. 10 ("[A] state court need not fear reaching the merits of a federal claim in an alternative holding."); see also Fama, 235 F.3d at 811 n.4.
Thus, to overcome the procedural bar, Petitioner must demonstrate "cause" for the default (and actual prejudice attributable thereto) or that a failure to consider the claim will result in a fundamental miscarriage of justice.*fn8
II. "Cause and Prejudice" A. Legal Standard
The "cause" standard requires Petitioner to show that some objective factor external to him or his counsel impeded their efforts to comply with the state's procedural rule. Murray v. Carrier, 477 U.S. 478, 488 (1986). Cause exists, for example, when the factual or legal basis for a claim was not reasonably available to the defendant, or when some interference by state officials made compliance with the procedural rule impracticable. See McClesky v. Zant, 499 U.S. 467, 493-94 (1991). A petitioner's pro se status or ignorance of the law does not excuse his failure to establish "cause" for the procedural default. Tapia-Garcia v. United States, 53 F.Supp.2d 370, 378 (S.D.N.Y. 1999).
The "prejudice" requirement is met by a showing of "actual prejudice resulting from the errors of which [petitioner] complains." United States v. Frady, 456 U.S. 152, 168 (1982) (internal quotation marks omitted). However, if a petitioner cannot show valid cause for the default, the federal habeas court need not consider "prejudice." See, e.g., Saahir v. Collins, 956 F.2d 115, 118 (5th Cir. 1992).
Petitioner claims that he did not challenge the voluntariness of his guilty plea in the first § 440 motion because he did not, at that time, have access to transcripts from the completed trial, and that, as a pro se litigant, he felt any argument he could make would be stronger if accompanied by citations to the record. (See Killian Decl.; Ex. 17, Br. 14.)
Although Petitioner's explanation for his failure to raise the claim is understandable, it does not rise to the level of cause required to excuse the procedural default. At the time of his plea, Petitioner was, as the trial court concluded, personally aware of his reasons for pleading guilty, and consequently, could have formulated his voluntariness claim at the time he filed his first § 440 motion. Cf. Pena v. Fischer, No. 06-Civ-5427 (AKH), 2007 WL 636504, *2 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 1, 2007) (holding that Petitioner's inability to obtain transcripts of hearing minutes does not constitute "extraordinary circumstances prevent[ing] him from filing his petition on time" that would justify equitable tolling of AEDPA's limitations period). Petitioner also waited some six months after filing his brief on direct appeal in the Appellate Division (a brief that quoted heavily from the trial transcripts) to raise any issue with respect to his guilty plea. In that brief, Petitioner conceded that "no challenge is made... to the propriety of the conviction under Indictment No. 425/00 [Petitioner's plea conviction], and that conviction should therefore be affirmed." Finally, Petitioner does not allege any improper interference by officials that prevented his access to transcripts of his plea or the completed trial. See McClesky, 499 U.S. at 494.
Because Petitioner has not demonstrated cause for the default, the Court need not consider whether he can demonstrate actual prejudice as a result of his allegedly defective guilty plea. Thus, Petitioner's habeas claim is procedurally barred and must be dismissed.
III. The Merits
Even if Petitioner could demonstrate sufficient cause (and prejudice attributable thereto) to overcome the procedural bar, the petition fails, in any event, on the merits. The state court's decision, denying Petitioner's due process claim as without merit and refuted by the record, is (1) entitled to deference as an adjudication on the merits under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act ("AEDPA"), and (2) not contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established Supreme Court precedent. As set forth below, Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that his decision to plead guilty on the murder charge was the product of any constitutionally unacceptable conduct on the part of the trial judge that is sufficient to render his subsequent plea involuntary.
A. Standard of Review
Under AEDPA, if a habeas petitioner's claim was "adjudicated on the merits in State court proceedings," a federal court can grant habeas relief only if the state court's decision was "contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States,"*fn9 or was "based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented." 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). State court factual findings "shall be presumed to be correct" and the petitioner "shall have the burden of rebutting the presumption of correctness by clear and convincing evidence." Id. at § 2254(e)(1).
An "adjudication on the merits" is one that (1) disposes of the claim on substantive grounds, and (2) reduces that disposition to judgment. Bell v. Miller, 500 F.3d 149, 155 (2d Cir. 2007); Eze v. Senkowski, 321 F.3d 110, 121-22 (2d Cir. 2003). "An issue may be considered to be adjudicated on its merits even when the state court does not specifically mention the claim but uses general language referable to the merits." Eze, 321 F.3d at 122 (internal citation and quotation marks omitted). The state court need not specifically refer to the federal claim or to federal law as a prerequisite to AEDPA's deferential standard. Hines v. Miller, 318 F.3d 157, 160 (2d Cir. 2003). Finally, the fact that a state court rules in the alterative on the merits of a claim does not deprive that ruling of AEDPA's deferential standard of review. Zarvela v. Artuz, 364 F.3d 415, 417 (2d Cir. 2004) (per curiam).
The Appellate Division's determination that Petitioner's claim (in addition to being procedurally barred) was without merit was an adjudication on the merits that is entitled to AEDPA deference on federal habeas review.
B. Violations of Due Process
Petitioner appears to be making at least two claims: (1) that his plea was involuntary and therefore violated due process, and (2) that the trial court's summary denial of his second § 440 motion without a hearing also violated due process. See Pabon v. Wright, 459 F.3d 241, 248 (2d Cir 2006) (when a petitioner appears pro se, the Court must construe his pleading liberally and interpret them "to raise the strongest arguments they suggest").
1. Voluntariness of Plea
Due process requires that a guilty plea be made "voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently." Bradshaw v. Stumpf, 545 U.S. 175, 183 (2005); see Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742, 748 (1970). The standard for determining the validity of a guilty plea is "whether the plea represents a voluntary and intelligent choice among the alternative courses of action open to the defendant." Ventura v. Meachum, 957 F.2d 1048, 1058 (2d Cir. 1992) (citation omitted).
"[A] plea... is deemed 'voluntary' if it is not the product of actual or threatened physical harm, mental coercion overbearing the defendant's will, or the defendant's sheer inability to weigh the options rationally." Miller v. Angliker, 848 F.2d 1312, 1320 (2d Cir. 1988). "[T]he Supreme Court has instructed that, with regard to voluntariness, a guilty plea 'must stand unless induced by threats (or promises to discontinue improper harassment), misrepresentations (including unfulfilled or unfulfillable promises), or perhaps by promises that are by their nature improper as having no proper relationship to the prosecutor's business (e.g. bribes).'" United States v. Doe, 537 F.3d 204, 211 (2d Cir. 2008) (quoting Brady, 397 U.S. at 755).
When a guilty plea is challenged as being the product of coercion, a court considers not only the subjective state of mind of the defendant, but also "the constitutional acceptability of the external forces inducing the guilty plea." United States v. Davis, 48 Fed. App'x 809, 812 (2d Cir. 2002) (summary order) (quoting Iaea v. Sun, 800 F.2d 861, 866 (9th Cir. 1986)); see also United States v. Juncal, 245 F.3d 166, 174 (2d Cir. 2001) (explaining that "commonplace feelings of being 'coerced' in the lay sense of the word by an attorney's recommendation to plea guilty" are not valid grounds for withdrawing a plea); cf. Miller v. Fenton, 474 U.S. 104, 115-16 (1985) ("Although sometimes framed as an issue of 'psychological fact,' the dispositive question of the voluntariness of a confession has always had a uniquely legal dimension.")
Finally, plea allocutions are entitled to a "strong presumption of veracity" and are generally treated as conclusive in the face of a later attempt to contradict them. Doe, 537 F.3d at 213; Adames v. United States, 171 F.3d 728, 733 (2d Cir. 1999); Blackledge v. Allison, 431 U.S. 63, 74 (1977).
Petitioner alleges that the trial judge's conduct at the completed trial caused him to believe that the judge was biased against him. Petitioner asserts that his decision to plead guilty was motivated, in part, by the fear of having to appear before the same judge on the murder charge. The record of the completed trial reveals that the judge expressed her displeasure with defense counsel on a number of occasions, even prompting counsel at one point to state his client's concern that the judge "somehow disfavors me personally as a lawyer." However, even assuming that Petitioner's decision to plead guilty was motivated by fear of bias on the part of the judge, such subjective feelings of coercion are, by themselves, insufficient to render a plea involuntary. In this case, Petitioner has not pointed, and the record does not reveal, any constitutionally unacceptable conduct on the part of the trial judge that could rise to the level of improper judicial coercion.*fn10 See Davis, 48 Fed. App'x at 812 (rejecting challenge to voluntariness of guilty plea on ground that defendant felt "subjectively coerced" into pleading guilty by, among other things, the trial judge's refusal to grant him an adjournment to resolve his differences with counsel, where no showing that trial judge abused his discretion in denying the motion); Oyague v. Artuz, 274 F. Supp. 2d 251, 258 (E.D.N.Y. 2003) (Weinstein, J.) (rejecting challenge to voluntariness of guilty plea based on an alleged off-the-record conversation when the trial judge warned petitioner that if he went to trial and was convicted he would likely face the rest of his life in prison, where there was no evidence that the alleged statement was "motivated by anything but a desire to fully inform petitioner of the consequences of going to trial" and where petitioner's claim that the trial court "badgered him, threatened him, and expressed animus toward him [was] belied by the record"); see also Doe, 537 F.3d at 212-213 (concluding that prosecutor's statement that, if defendant went to trial, letters to his co-defendants would be disclosed reflected "an entirely legal-and wholly predictable-scenario, and thus could not have rendered the defendant's plea involuntary").
The Court recognizes that criminal defendants choose to plead guilty for a variety of reasons. See Fabre v. Taylor, No. 08 Civ. 5883 (DLC), 2009 WL 1457169, * 4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2009) (noting that "defendants frequently face difficult choices when entering pleas of guilty," including the fact that defendants often face more serious charges if they choose to go to trial, but that these difficult choices "do not [ ] render the plea involuntary"). In this case, Petitioner feared that, in light of the judge's rulings and the jury's verdict at the first trial, the outcome of the second trial would have been the same.*fn11 Petitioner thus made a considered judgment to avoid what would have been, in his and family's view, a murder conviction after trial, and instead accept a minimum sentence of fifteen years to life imprisonment, to run concurrently with the sentence imposed on his trial convictions. This judgment, however difficult, does not render his plea involuntary. See Doe, 537 F.3d at 213.
2. Failure to Hold an Evidentiary Hearing
The appropriate standard for deciding whether a state criminal procedural rule violates due process is whether it "offends some principle of justice so rooted in the traditions and conscience of our people as to be ranked as fundamental." Hines v. Miller, 318 F.3d 157, 161-62 (2d Cir. 2003) (quoting Medina v. California, 505 U.S. 437, 445 (1992)). In Hines, the Second Circuit observed that "[b]oth federal and state precedent have established that a defendant is not entitled as a matter of right to an evidentiary hearing on a motion to withdraw a guilty plea." Id. at 162. The court concluded that the failure to hold an evidentiary hearing on a motion to withdraw a plea, therefore, does not offend a deeply rooted or fundamental principle of justice. Id.
Accordingly, in this case, the trial judge's decision not to hold an evidentiary hearing on Petitioner's motion to vacate the judgment resulting from his guilty plea (on the ground that Petitioner was in a position to adequately raise the claim at the time he brought his first § 440 motion), and the Appellate Division's decision that, on the merits, no evidentiary hearing was required under CPL § 440.30(b) and (d) (on the grounds that Petitioner's claim was unsubstantiated and otherwise refuted by the record) did not violate any constitutional requirements of due process.
IV. Application to Appoint Counsel
Petitioner also moves for the appointment of counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(G). A court has discretion under the Criminal Justice Act ("CJA") to appoint counsel for any person seeking relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 "[w]henever...the interests of justice so require and such person is financially unable to obtain representation." 18 U.S.C. § 3006A. In making this determination, courts ascertain, as a threshold requirement, "whether the indifent's position seems likely to be of substance." Hodge v. Police Officers, 802 F.2d 58, 61 (2d Cir. 1986). Having found the petition ultimately to be without merit, the Court denies Petitioner's application for the appointment of counsel.
Brown's petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied. (Dkt. No. 2) Brown's application for counsel is also denied. (Dkt. No. 17) The Court decines to issue a certificate of appealability. Brown has not made a substantial showing of a denial of a federal right, and therefore, appellate review is not warranted. Love v. McCray, 413 F.3d 192, 195 (2d Cir. 2005). Petitioner is provided with a copy of all unpublished decisions cited in this Order.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. Any pending motions are moot.

tjrag Review
good product
The foam topper smelled toxic when I first unrolled it. I did expect that after reading many reviews prior to purchase. After a couple of days, it went away a little. I think it needs to air out for more than 3 or 4 days prior to using it. Nonetheless, the quality of the foam is great! Our old bed feels like new, and it's comfortable.

"Xiu Shui Market-Beijing" China Tourist Trap Tip by Jenzhen
China Tourist Traps: 88 reviews and 53 photos
This market is great for buying rip-off name brands and souvenier things. The vendors will harass you and even grab you at times. It can be quite a horrible experience. They will ask for 3-4 times what you should really pay for it.
Unique Suggestions: If you must go, then make sure not to pay more than a third of what they ask for. Don't be afraid to walk away because they will call you back if they are willing to give you your price. Don't be afraid to be aggressive either. You won't hurt their feelings. Also, they will look extremely sad when you have gotten a good deal. Don't think you are ripping them off. I guarantee that they would not have sold it to you if they were not making money.
Fun Alternatives: I would suggest going to the Qianmen market which is off the Qianmen subway stop. It has many of the same products, and much more reasonable prices (dont pay more than half here) and they aren't so aggressive. Or you can try the Ya Show (SanLiTun) clothing market for the rip-offs. They are pretty calm. "Hey lady, cheaper for you!" Have fun!

Reporting Microscopic Findings
Gram-stained direct smears are examined using the oil immersion objective of the microscope (total magnification =1000x). The quantity and type of bacteria and nonbacterial cellular elements present are recorded. A minimum of ten microscopic fields should be examined before reporting the Gram stain result.
Organisms and other cells that are observed on a Gram-stained smear should be reported with as much description as possible.In addition to staining reaction, the shape of the organisms should be reported (e.g., cocci or bacilli). It may also be useful to report the cellular arrangement of microorganisms on the smear, although this is more often reported from a smear that is made from culture rather than a direct smear.
Cellular arrangements may be described as:

Introducing the 4th AttLis Workshop at BITS Pilani Goa Campus
The workshop's theme is multi-modal cognition with an emphasis on the interaction between language and vision. More specifically, there is a central focus on how attentional and visual processes interact with spoken and written language processing. Why are attention and vision crucial to language comprehension? Prominent approaches to language-vision interactions have focused so far on whether language processing is like sensory processing (the 'embodied cognition approach') or whether cross-linguistic differences lead to permanent restructuring of cognition and perception (the 'linguistic relativity approach'). We know, however surprisingly little about the nature, representations, and mechanisms of every-day language-vision interactions such as when language guides our attention around the visual world. Core themes of the workshop are the (non)-intentionality of language-vision interactions, the nature of competition, selective processing, learning and development which suggest that the investigation of language-vision interactions by means of methods such as eye-tracking offers a window into the mechanisms of how high level representations involved in language and memory interact with visual input. The workshop seeks to encourage discussions which advance the field in important ways and lead to close collaborations between the participating researchers. It also discusses how research in this field can affect our understanding of consumer psychology and consumer neuroscience.

J.K. Rowling announced that she's working on a new book, only this one will be "very different" from the Harry Potter series — because this time she's writing for adults. Perhaps this is an appropriate time, therefore, to point out that many of Potter's biggest fans are, in fact, already adults, so hasn't she been writing for us this whole time? If by "very different" J.K. means that her latest project will include wizards and graphic sex scenes, well then I for one can't wait to read it.

In a segment that is notoriously slow to get to market, Solid State Pharma Inc. is a two-year-old biotech company that is not only profitable but also is doubling revenue and staff annually.
Founded by CEO Mahmoud Mirmehrabi, the Halifax-based life sciences company has developed expertise at converting liquid medicines into solids — the pharmaceutical industry's preferred state to transport and dispense drugs. Mirmehrabi said about 30 per cent of medical compounds are liquids in their natural state, and it is essential to ensure they retain certain properties when converting them to solids. Expertise in doing so is why his company is growing so quickly.
"It's the demand that is out there, and basically that the pharmaceutical companies are thirsty for high-quality research and work," Mirmehrabi said in an interview in his office in Halifax's Innovacorp Enterprise Centre.
He started the company when he arrived in Halifax two years ago with a PhD from London's University of Western Ontario, and more than a decade-and-a-half of experience with such blue chip drug companies as Pfizer and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. (He has also served as an expert witness in court cases involving drug manufacturing, though he's too busy now to perform such duties.) Now, Solid State Pharma has a staff of 10, all with graduate degrees, and is growing rapidly.
He said the compounds in a drug can exist in different polymorphs — or a different arrangement of the elements in a compound. But changing the arrangement can affect the properties of the drug, including the solubility or dissolution rate. He noted that both diamonds and graphite are pure carbon, but they're very different products because of the arrangement of their atoms.
And making mistakes in the solidification of compounds can prove expensive for drug companies. The most notorious case was Abbott Laboratories having to pull its HIV drug, Ritonavir, which resulted in lost sales worth $250 million.
SomaDetect Plans Pilot Project for 2017
Mirmehrabi said the largest pharma companies have the in-house capability to solidify their compounds in ways that meet regulatory standards, but small and medium-sized pharmaceutical and natural products companies have to outsource the work. Solid State Pharma is one of only a handful of companies in the world with the equipment and expertise to carry out the task.
The company earns 90 per cent of its revenue abroad and the other 10 per cent from out of province; all of its sales are outside the region. The company is also conducting research into new products or processes.
The company has $700,000 worth of equipment in its labs, and is planning to buy a further $500,000 in additional gear.
The company is profitable and is doubling its revenue and sales each year. It's a situation Mirmehrabi believes will continue for several years to come, leveling off at a staff of about 60 people. The company has already had opportunities to exit, though he wants to grow the company.
"We've had two cases of European companies that were interested in acquiring us," he said, adding that their interest was strong enough that they came to Halifax to examine the companies.
"We were not interested in pursuing the conversation. The primary reason is we want this company to be here 20 years from now."
