Happy Birthday Angie!

Today this post is dedicated to my former co-worker but more importantly someone who was a dear friend Angie Werner. Angie was taken from us on Wednesday October 10, 2012 in a tragic accident. I am still trying to come to terms that I will no longer be able to just pick up the phone or text her just to say hi.

 Angie was a bright star in my life. She was always positive and was as just as friendly as could be to everyone she came in contact with. Today would have been Angie’s 49th birthday. To celebrate her I have attached just a few pictures to celebrate a wonderful person.

Great American Scrapbook Convention

I can’t believe it has been January since I have last wrote on my blog and that on Sunday we will actually be in July.

I have had a lot of changes going on and that is part of the reason for the disappearance. As you have heard me say before my job was just hectic and not a happy place but one phone call from my former Director of Accounting changed everything. In March I left my old company and started a new job and that was the best decision I have EVER made in my life. Trust me I was absolutely worried about the change and leaving all of the great people I worked with and my boss who will always be a close friend but change was what I needed and was sad to leave the people but not sad at all to leave. My boss on my last day could not even look at me for most of the day as it just made her sick to the stomach.

 But let’s get to what this post is really about. This past weekend was the Great American Scrapbooking Convention (GASC) in Chantilly, VA and me and my cousins (Robin Shakoor, and her daughter) go every year. This year I took a class that was being offered by Clear Scraps to make a banner and it was so much fun.

We also found this cute little die that we bought to make little cards for down at my family reunion. I tasked my little cousin with doing this as her summer project while at home from college at the summer.

I will be back soon with more projects as I now in the mind frame to actually do some scrapbooking and also have a deadline to get some stuff done for my family reunion which is in like 3  weeks and have not started a thing. Nothing like waiting until the last minute J

52 Photos in 52 Weeks

As I have mentioned that I will be really getting into my photography this year more and in that commitment I have found some photography challenges. This challenge is 52 photos in 52 weeks.

Week 1 theme: New

This is the new barbie I got for Christmas. I LOVE HER!!!!

Week 2 theme: Shine
Every year my Aunt gives all us girls bedroom slippers and these were my new slippers this year. Ever since I was a child we had a theme of what we got. It's fun ever year to see what she type of slippers she has found this year.

The theme for this week is: COMMUNITY

Hello Monday!

I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend! I relaxed on Saturday while my husband was at his figure drawing class and did some much needed chores like washing clothes and then we went to see Red Tails the movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. It was such a good movie and the line to get into the movie looked like the Santa Claus scene from "The Christmas Story" movie. I usually like going to matinees but we knew that if we wanted to see it this weekend we had to go Saturday night because on Sunday I had my first photo safari at one of the airports near me (more on that adventure later in the week).

As promised here is another of the tags that I did using the Dabber Effect. I really like this one and how the butterfly just looks like she is floating. I love that stamp. I believe I found it at Michael's or A.C. Moore.

I didn't get to do any crafting this weekend nor take down my Christmas tree (YES!!! my tree is still up). I hope to get all of that done next weekend since my rule is usually take it down when it snows and we had a freak snow shower and snow and ice this weekend so I am more than overdue to take it down LOL!!!!

Dabber Resist Tag

UGHHHHH!! I return back to work today but I did enjoy my 4 day weekend of getting my hands dirty with ink and trying new techniques.

I have not had much of a scrapbooking mojo and unless I needed to get on the computer in my scrap room I just walked past it but no more. On Saturday I spent part of the day inking up and trying something absoutley new to me. I had gotten the Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities book and looked thru to see as a tag beginner what I could try that would be easy.

Well on page 37 I found it "Dabber Resist" technique. It was so much fun that I made three of the tags with that technique. Now my tags are nothing compared to what Tim Holtz does and what I have seen other people doing but hey I am just starting out and I am proud of what I did.

Hope you enjoy!

Spend more time Exploring

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday so far. I am just relaxing and trying out some new techinques with tags which I will show this week.

My husband and I say every year that we are going to explore our city and vist many of the sites that Washington, DC has to offer in monuments and memorials.  Every year we end up not doing it due to life getting in the way and other obligations. Well this year we will be exploring more or the Northern Virginia area.

Here is a picture of our exploring Old Town Alexandria the other weekend when it was seasonably warm. I loved the way the sky looked and just spending time on the waterfront.

My resolution is to capture more pictures like this

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Happy Tuesday!

In 2012 I want to take my photography to the next level so I have signed up for a few seminars for this year already so you will be seeing more pictures on this blog beside some scrapbooking. I am even thinking of doing some photo challenges like "Project 12" or "52 Photos in 52 Weeks". Next year I may even do Capture your 365 where you take a picture everyday.

I want to show you some of the pictures I took in my class last spring. The first five pictures will be from the field trip we went on and the game was to take 5 photos that told a story.

Yesterday it snowed here in the area when they forcasted rain. Boy did all those weather people get it WRONG!!!. Here is a picure of the snow out of my office window. I am hoping this is the most snow we get this season but I know that it won't be.

NEW WORKS Exhibition

Hello All! I know that I have been very bad at blogging lately but life has gotten in the way and before I knew it we were at the holidays. Time has definitely been flying by. I hope everyone had wonderful holiday's and were able to relax and spend quality time with family.

I had a very excitable weekend one that goes down the book of big accomplishments in my life. I had a photograph of mine accepted into an exhibition at this place in my area called “The Workhouse of Lorton”.

Last spring I took a class there called “Storytelling with Photographs”. It was a great class that taught me to look at my pictures in a whole different way and want to definitely approve my pictures. A friend asked me is it hard to have your pictures critiqued? My answer to her was NO it actually helped and makes me take better pictures.

I have loved taking pictures since I was given my first camera as a high school graduation gift and it was all it took to get me hooked and I have not stopped taking pictures ever since. My cousin Robin actually calls me “paparazzi” because I always have a camera not too far away that I can grab.

Here is a picture of me and my submission at the opening reception on Saturday night. My picture is of the LA port at night. I took this picture several years ago on a John Mayer cruise.

This was a great challenge because it gave me the idea on how to make this dark and blurry photo look good using filters. I used paint daubs and lots of blending modes to get the effect I wanted.

Photo looks great to me! Not dark or blurry at all! I'm glad the challenge helped you find a way to make it useable. This is a lovely layout - I like the white mat border around the page and the balance between the photo and the embellishment cluster.

Let's Scrap

Just a quick post to share this weeks sketch from Let's Scrap. These pics were in a Christmas mini I did, but I had not actually ever scrapped. I love the big pic of B, looking so little, surrounded by all his gifts. This was from Christmas 2006, Things were much simpler then....

Here is my LO:

Based on this Sketch:

Another 2 pager for me. Crazy, I know. Working on lots of other stuff. Will share more soon!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
Happy Scrappin'!

A bit more Christmas Spirit

Yay! It's Wednesday. Time for the newest sketch at Let’s Scrap. I chose the 2 page version this time around. This one definately put me in the Christmas spirit. I combined the newest Christmas lines from Pink Paislee and My Mind's Eye. They just blended together so well. I did this LO about some of my favorite tree decore. I have so many favorite Christmas ornaments from over the years, but for this LO, I chose to showcase a few of the more recent faves. Here is my layout:

Based on this sketch:

So come play along. There is a great prize from Precocious Paper up for grabs.

I also wanted to share something fun. I spent a majority of the day Sunday making cookies. Steve was in Boston on Monday visiting a relative in the hospital. While he was there, he also stopped by to deliver some cookies to our friend Kevin (aka Supah Fan). Kevin loved it and took this pic in his store and posted on Facebook how happy he was. I love it! It is all about spreading Christmas cheer:

Feed the World...Let them know it's Christmas time!
Happy Scrappin"!!

One more week...?

Hey friends! Can You believe it is only one week till Christmas? Crazy I know, but I love it! In between all the craziness I am still scrappin! Thought I would share a couple more LO's. Here is the latest for B's school photo's album. I had lots of fun with Pink Paislee's Old School line:

I also played along with a sketch challenge over at the My Minds Eye blog:

I used some very old MME papers that I have been hoarding in my stash. Here is my take on it:

Today I will be putting the finishing touches on my LO for this weeks upcoming sketch at Let's Scrap. It's a good-y! Also need to bake some cookies and get some cleaning done. I thought Sunday was suppose to be a day of rest! Ay yay yay!
Happy Scrappin'!

Scrappy Happy

Today is Wednesday. Time for the newest Let’s Scrap sketch. Every third Wednesday it is a card sketch. I really, really wanted to make a Christmas card, but I just kept being pulled towards flowers (Plus I love these MME papers from my stash!). Maybe I am already looking forward to Spring...and it isn't even really Winter yet.!

Here is my card:

Based on this week's sketch:

I may not be feeling Winter, but I am definately feeling the Christmas spirit. I love Christmas. I have been pulling out some pics from past years. Like this 'Cool Santa' one I took of Bryant last year. I have taken some of the greatest pics of him over the years. I had the best time creating this LO with some of my favorite Pink Paislee papers and letters from my stash, too. I have seen many grid type LO's over the years and wanted to try one myself. It was perfect for this one:

Another thing keeping me in the spirit are these:
I was blessed to be included in this 'White Christmas' tag swap with some amazingly talented ladies. I have these beauties proudly displayed in my office for all to see. Makes me smile!
It is definately beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Don't forget those less fortunate than you. Salvation Army. Toys for Tots. Your local Food bank. Every little bit helps. No Matter how small.
Happy Scrappin'!!

Make a Wish

It is Wednesday. Time to share the newest sketch over at Let’s Scrap. This sketch was so much fun to work with. I love this simple pic of Bryant , that I took over the Summer. I changed it over to sepia and it worked perfect with these patchwork papers. Yes, I used pink on a boy page, It worked for this one and I loved the result. I dug way into my stash for this. These papers are from one of my Scarlet Lime kits from way back. I love the uniqueness of their kits. Always so colorful and always so many fun extras.

Here is my LO:

Based on this sketch:

You can check out the 2 page version Here. I love that you have the option to do a one or two page version. This week there is a great prize from Paper Wishes.

So what are you waiting for?

Come play along.

Happy Scrappin!!!

Christmas Spirit

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing the play 'A Christmas Carol' at the Northshore Music Theatre in Beverly, MA. It was amazing. There is nothing like seeing such a great show, to give you that feeling of true Chistmas spirit. Sometimes we get so caught up in the everyday hustle and bustle, that we just need to take a moment and truly enjoy this time of year. I love Christmas, but I too admit I get a bit caught up in the commercial-ism of it. There are a few simple things during the season that really make me happy. Seeing the red kettles of the Salvation Army and donating whatever I can. Sometimes it is not much, but every little bit helps. I also like to give to Toys for Tots. Every kid deserves a visit from Santa. I know not everyone is religious, but I, myself, love the feeling of being in church. Something really special about this time of year. I like to bake and decorate cookies with my son. To get together with Friends & Famly. All very simple (inexpensive) things...and they all make me so HAPPY!

Another thing that makes me happy...scrapping of course! I wanted to share a couple of LO's I did recently of Bryant at Christmas. Both photo's were from a couple years ago. Rudolph went with him everywhere. It was the cutest thing!

Here is B with Santa. This LO came together in a flash, using Teresa Collins Noel line papers:

I loved this pic of B on Christmas eve. Sound asleep with Rudolph watching over him. I had the best time creating this LO with many Pink Paislee lines (Amber Road, Spring Fling, Old School and a bit of ribbon from Tinsel Town). It all came together for "Sweet Christmas Dreams":

So the Christmas season begins. Remember to take some time for yourself. Enjoy the simple moments.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Scrappin'!!

December Has Arrived!

Today is Wednesday, and that means a new sketch goes up at Let’s Scrap. Remember you always have the option to do the one page or two page LO. This time around I chose to do the single page option. Just a couple pics of me along with some gorgeous papers from Teresa Collins Noel line. Yes, it is her Christmas line and this is not a Christmas LO. I just loved the rich colors and thought that they went perfectly with the pics I was using. A long time ago, a friend of mine reminded me to get in front of the camera once in a while. Document yourself in the moment. I have been trying to, more and more. Plus, it does help that I just got my hair done that day and I was going out that! But, the title does ring true. I am a happy soul:

Here is the sketch that it was based on:

You can check out the 2 pager here. There is a fabulous RAK from Pretty Little Studio.

It is now December...and do you know what that means? Day one of the December Daily:

and....Pink Paislee's Twelve Days of Christmas begins!!!

I love December!

I love Christmas!

I love Scrappin'!

They hunt alligators in the Louisana bayou for a living and yet it was a car accident that nearly killed 'Swamp People' stars, Tommy Chauvin ("Trigger Tommy") and his step-dad, Joe LaFont ("Trapper Joe"). The two men were involved in a massive five-car pile-up near the Arkansas-Louisana border yesterday, though both walked away unharmed and ready to hunt more gators.

The accident was caused by a large tractor-trailer, which smashed into four cars waiting in line during a traffic stop at a construction site. According to TMZ, while Chauvin and LaFont are fine, a large collection of merchandise for their History Channel show spilled onto the road.

Thankfully, no one was killed in the accident, though Arkansas State Police is reporting that three people were seriously injured.

Photos of the wreckage are available on the Texarkana Gazette web site.

Essay / On This Day

Happy Birthday, Robert Lowth

(Special guest post by Torrey prof Joe Henderson, Old Testament scholar who wrote the book, or at least the dissertation, or at least a big part of a dissertation, on Lowth!)

Robert Lowth (1710-1787) was born this day, November 27.

Lowth (his name rhymes with south) was Bishop of Oxford and later London. He was best known his works on Biblical poetry and English grammar. In the 1740’s he delivered a series of lectures at Oxford that were published in 1753 as De sacra poesi Hebraeorum praelectiones. These lectures are celebrated in the field of Biblical studies for their “discovery of poetry” in the Bible, and the principle of that poetry, what Lowth called “parallelism of members.” Generations of Bible students who learned that Hebrew poetry has three types of parallelism —synonymous, antithetical, and synthetic— have Lowth to thank.

In literary studies, the lectures are celebrated for introducing an alternative to classical theories of poetry, and thus laying the groundwork for the Romantic revolution in poetry. These achievements in defining Biblical poetry and creating a new model of poetry were both byproducts of the central aim of Lowth’s lectures: to demonstrate that the biblical prophets wrote in poetry. The success of his arguments can be measured by opening almost any modern translation of the Bible to the prophetic books. The majority of the text will be printed in individual lines of poetry. Lowth not only made this presentation of the prophets possible; he was the first to carry it out in his 1778 translation of Isaiah, the crowning achievement of his work on prophecy and poetry.

“The prophetic office,” wrote Lowth, “had a most strict connection with the poetic art. They had one common name, one common origin, one common author, the Holy Spirit.” Lowth’s bold identification of the Holy Spirit with the poetic muse required a new understanding of the significance of prophetic inspiration: “to give force and energy to the devout affections was the sublime employment of the sacred Muse.” For 18th century poets, Lowth’s new understanding of inspiration provided a ancient precedent for a poetry of force, energy, affections, and sublimity as an alternative to the neo-classic poetry of decorum, elegance, wit, and culture. It also made the lives of the biblical prophets available as models for poets. In Lowth’s life time, poets like William Blake, Christopher Smart, and William Cowper took up the mantle of the prophet-poet. The lives and poetry of these poets, in turn, provided models for the Romantic poets and men of genius in the 19th Century.

For 18th century biblical critics, Lowth’s understanding of inspiration provided an alternative explanation of prophecy that appealed to an age skeptical about a speaking God. At a time when people were losing confidence in the Bible as a source of historical facts and dogmatic truth, Lowth’s theory made the prophetic books available as sublime literature, the work of great-souled geniuses. Lowth’s work was especially influential in Germany. The lectures were translated into German by the great Orientalist, Michaelis in 1758.

The formative effect of Lowth’s work on German biblical criticism came especially through the work of Johann Gottfried Herder, On the Spirit of Hebrew Poetry (1782), which explicitly drew on and developed Lowth’s lecture. Herder turned Lowth’s intuition that prophetic poetry is an spontaneous creation of a youthful nation into a historical scheme in which the age of poetry and prophecy is followed by an age of prose and law. Herder’s historical scheme provided the basic framework for the reconstruction of Israel’s history and reorganization of books of the Old Testament that were the main product of the 19th century German higher criticism. The outcome can be summed up in Julius Wellhausen’s dictum that “the prophets precede law” and his presentation of the decline of the living religion of Israel into the dead wood of Judaism.

Lowth can hardly be blamed for the dubious fruit of his arguments, and he is certainly to be celebrated for helping readers appreciate the beauty and power of biblical literature. His lectures remain a stimulating, if sometimes unreliable, guide to biblical poetry.

Lowth’s reputation as a guide to English grammar comes from his 1762 work, A Short Introduction to English Grammar. Lowth takes a prescriptive approach that attempts to reform English usage along the lines of Latin grammar. It is this work that introduced the dictum that an English sentence should not end with a preposition. Thus E.B. White has Robert Lowth to thank for the popularity of his story about the man who brings the wrong book upstairs to read to his son. The boy asks: “What did you bring that book I don’t like to be read to out of up for?”

Rushing out the door to begin enjoying a vacation can cause people to overlook several easy ways to ensure their homes will be protected. Taking the necessary precautions to protect your home while you’re away will save you those nagging worries so you can thoroughly enjoy your trip!

Ask a Friend to Help ~ Give this person a key so that he or she can bring your mail in, feed your cat, water your plants, mow your lawn, etc. He or she should also have your contact information and a copy of your itinerary in case of emergencies. Ask them to put your trash containers out for pick-up and put them back again when they’re empty and to park their car in your driveway occasionally to give your home a more lived-in look.

Don’t tip off Criminals ~ by posting  the details of your vacation for the whole world to see. Refrain from discussing your trip on social networking sites. It’s like setting up a sign letting criminals know your house is ripe for the picking!

Pull the Plug ~ Unplug your television, computer, toaster oven and other appliances to protect them from power surges. Unplug the power to your automatic garage door to keep thieves from opening it with a universal remote.

Remove Your Spare Key ~ If a criminal figures out you’re away on vacation, it’s likely that he or she will check your porch for a spare key.

Examine Your House from the Street ~ Make sure no valuables, like expensive electronics or artwork, are visible from the street. If a passerby can see your belongings, so can criminals. Use timers on lights, radios and televisions. Leave your curtains exactly as you usually keep them when you’re home. The more normal your home looks, the better.

DON’T Leave a Portable GPS in your Car ~ when you use long-term parking at the airport. It’ll alert thieves that you’re not home and give them a convenient map to your house.

Thanks to  and for the recommendations and photo.

The Sekure Lok™ Panel Clip System is comprised of the following components:

  • A ferrule cast into the concrete panel.
  • There is a lug located on the underside of the panel clip. The clip itself measures either 150mm or 200mm long x 130mm wide x 10mm thick.
  • The Sekure Lok™ Swagable Washer has a tongue which fits into the slot in the face of the clip.
  • The cap of the Sekure Lok™ Swagable Washer fits down over the head of the bolt connected to the ferrule. The points on the bolt head pierce the slits in the washer cap.

When installed, the engineers reports confirm that the rotation of the panel clip is prevented. However the components permit expansion and contraction to occur without any stress cracks appearing in the concrete panel.

Mack Benton Drops An Incredible Single With Secret (Banger!!!!)

I’m not always up on the latest singers, or hip hop acts, I’m behind at times, but it’s always refreshing to see new talent releasing music. One such artist that I just caught wind of is Mack Benton. Benton’s vocal style is nothing new, but the way he pushes the lyrics and sounds through a mix of hip hop beats and instrumentals rings true to something incredible. In fact, I had to put the track on repeat, because it was that catchy.

The latest single from Mack Benton is titled “Secret (Banger!!!!)” and if you hear it, you’re going to swear that it’s the latest from a larger act, or it’s the next big thing, because it’s that solid. From the moment you hear the beat come in, to the point where Benton starts to sing, you’re sold. If you move forward through the chorus you’re swaying from side to side, and you are in complete R and B mode, because it’s a solid track.

If you are a fan of rhythm and blues, hip hop, and modern music, this is going to be right up your alley. It’s one of the better releases, and it’s definitely on par with some of the latest slow jams being played on radio today. Benton has a bright future if he continues to drop singles like this. It’s going to definitely get stuck in your head.

If you want to hear more from Benton, especially this single, go to his official soundcloud page here, and listen up. Get your girl, it may very well put you in the mood. I recommend it.

Article Abstract

Student Paper: An Assessment of the Potential Impacts of the Proposed European Union Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation on the Semiconductor Industry
Douglas J. Moilanen; University of Wisconsin - Stout

The Council of the European Union has recently proposed legislation that will drastically change the way that chemicals are regulated in Europe. The legislation Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) would require all businesses that manufacture or import a substance in a quantity greater than one metric ton register the substance. Registration would require that information be provided on the substances toxicological properties, ecotoxicological properties, and use. A future European chemicals agency would have the authority to ban or restrict the use of certain substances based on the registration materials. Although, the primary focus of the proposed regulation is on chemical manufacturers and importers, it has the potential to significantly impact downstream users of chemicals. Potential adverse impacts include increased supply chain costs, restriction of the use of essential chemicals, limitations on the confidentiality of information, and direct product regulation. Potential benefits include increased availability of chemical hazard information and a more concise regulatory framework.

Can You Lose Your Salvation *

Many Christians declare: "Once saved, always saved!" By this they mean that once a person confesses faith in Jesus Christ, he is "saved" from all God's punishments for sin, including hell. Whatever he may do for the rest of his life, he is guaranteed a place in heaven.

Catholics--and many other Christians as well--reject this teaching as unbiblical. For example, there is this warning in the Book of Sirach: "Of forgiveness be not overconfident, adding sin upon sin. Say not: 'Great is his mercy; my many sins he will forgive.' For mercy and anger alike are with him; upon the wicked alights his wrath." (5:5-7)

Some might object that this passage doesn't apply to Christians; after all, Sirach is an Old Testament book that doesn't even appear in Protestant Bibles. Nevertheless, the New Testament echoes this warning to Christians:

    For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened and    tasted the heavenly gift and shared in the holy Spirit and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to bring them to repentance again, since they are recrucifying the Son of God for themselves and holding him up to contempt. (Heb 6:4-6)

At the same time, in speaking of severe trials ahead for his followers, Jesus predicts that "the love of many will grow cold. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved" (Mt 24:12-13). Not the one who makes a one-time confession of faith, but the one who perseveres to the end.

To clarify further, we should note that "salvation" means much more than an initial experience of faith. It's a lifelong process, in this world and the next, which culminates--if we faithfully persevere--in perfect holiness and the vision of God. (See "Is Purgatory in the Bible" and "What Does the Church Teach About Heaven?") After the "new birth," St. Peter says, despite undergoing "various trials,... you attain the goal of (your) faith, the salvation of your souls." (1 Pt 1:3, 6, 9).

So we don't obtain our salvation one day and then "lose" it another. Instead, for a lifetime we must "work out (our) salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12).

Other related scriptures: Rom 13:11; 2 Thes 2:3-5; Heb 10:26-29; 1 Pt 1:3-5; 2:2-3, 6, 9.

Catechism of the Catholic Church: 95; 169; 620; 776; 780; 830; 980; 1129; 1257; 1696; 1811; 1889; 2036; 2090-92.

How important (and distinct) is harmless error analysis for sentencing?

The question in the title of this post is prompted by the fact that the Supreme Court hear oral argument today in Vasquez v. United States (SCOTUSblog case page here), which concerns the meaning and application of the federal harmless error rules.  The SCOTUSblog folks have an effective oral argument preview in this post, which includes this background and insights:

Vasquez v. United States [concerns] the meaning of the harmless error rule in Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 52(a) and 28 U.S.C. § 2111. These similarly worded provisions govern appellate review of any trial error to which counsel objected below; they provide that if an error does not affect “substantial rights,” then it was harmless, and an appellate court should not reverse to correct it.  The proper scope of the harmless error rule has divided the courts of appeals.  Many hold that unless the government proves that the error could not have had any material effect on the proceedings below, it cannot be harmless. Others hold errors harmless when the evidence of the defendant’s guilt is overwhelming. Because the harmless error rule governs so many cases, its meaning is one of the most important questions in criminal appellate law....

It will be interesting to see whether the Court regards the harmless error rule as primarily concerned with process, or instead with results.  Vasquez argues that the Seventh Circuit erred because it failed to consider how close the case was, and failed as well to analyze the effect of the error on the overall verdict.  But if the Seventh Circuit had gone through the motions of such an analysis and reached the same conclusion, it is not clear what else Vasquez would say the court was required to do.  The rules set forth by the United States, on the other hand, are more concerned with the outcome of the analysis.

Another interesting question is whether the Court will treat the error in this case as serious or not. Vasquez argues that the error was global -- i.e., that because the tapes suggested that even his attorney didn’t believe in his defense, they tainted the jury’s consideration of the case as a whole.  Respondent argues that the error was minor -- the tapes would have been admitted anyway, and the court’s only error was failure to provide a limiting instruction. Both characterizations have some force to them.

As the Vasquez case itself spotlights, the harmless error rule arises most often (and its stakes are heightened) after a defendant has been convicted at a trial in which an error occurred.  And yet, because the vast majority of convictions and sentencings follow a plea, whether and how harmless error doctrines apply in other contexts will impact how consequential any ruling in Vasquez will become.

In the wake of Booker, I thought that some circuit courts might start making aggressive use of harmless error analysis to reject defense claims of guideline calculation errors.  But, perhaps for good reason given the considerable significance and weight that the guidelines still have in most courts after Booker, there has not developed a robust harmless error sentencing jurisprudence.  But perhaps readers have some distinct sentencing experiences with harmless error rules in other settings.  If so, do tell.

personally i think the whole ideal of "harmless error" is ass backward. The burden should ALWAYS be on the state. In cases like this when an error is discovered it should be on the state to PROVE BRD they did NOT hard the individual. Fail to do that CASE IS GONE!

That is about the only thing that might slow them down!

Will bipartisan momentum get Congress to enact some real and really consequential sentencing reform?

The question in the title of this post is prompted by this lengthy new AP piece, headlined "Momentum behind sentencing changes grows as supporters in Congress seek changes this year."  Here are excerpts:

An unusual alliance of tea party enthusiasts and liberal leaders in Congress is pursuing major changes in the country's mandatory sentencing laws. What's motivating them are growing concerns about both the fairness of the sentences and the expense of running federal prisons.

The congressional push comes as President Barack Obama and his Cabinet draw attention to the issue of mandatory sentences, particularly for nonviolent drug offenders. Supporters say mandatory minimum sentences are outdated, lump all offenders into one category and rob judges of the ability to use their own discretion. They also cite the high costs of the policies. The Justice Department spends some $6.4 billion, about one-quarter of its budget, on prisons each year, and that number is growing steadily....

Tough-on-crime drug policies once united Republicans and Democrats who didn't want to appear weak on crime. Now reversing or revising many of those policies is having the same effect.

The Fair Sentencing Act, passed in 2010, drew bipartisan support for cutting penalties on crack cocaine offenses. The bill reduced a disparity between crack-related sentences and sentences for other drugs, though it only addressed new cases, not old ones.  [Senator Dick] Durbin, one of that bill's chief sponsors, has written a much broader bill with [Senator Mike] Lee, called the Smarter Sentencing Act. It would expand a provision that gives judges discretion for a limited number of nonviolent drug offenders. The new law would allow judges the same latitude for a larger group of drug offenders facing mandatory sentences.

It's one of four bills dealing with sentencing that the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to take up early in the year. The committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he wants one consensus bill to clear the committee.

Leahy is a co-sponsor on the Durbin-Lee bill but has also introduced legislation with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., that would expand the safety valve even more, to all federal cases with mandatory sentences if certain conditions are met.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced legislation late in December that is based on changes in Texas' state prison system.  A separate bill, sponsored by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, allows inmates to earn credit for completing programs designed to reduce recidivism.

Leahy's committee delayed writing a sentencing bill several times in 2013.  But supporters noted that the last sentencing legislation took months to negotiate and said that the committee has delayed work until early 2014 in large part because behind-the-scenes talks are proving fruitful.  Durbin said he and Lee had been lobbying their fellow committee members — Durbin talking to skeptical Democrats, Lee to Republicans.  In the House, Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, a tea party conservative, and Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., are co-sponsors of a companion to Durbin and Lee's bill.

A number of outside groups have expressed support for the Durbin-Lee bill, too, and they run the ideological spectrum, including the conservative Heritage Action, the American Bar Association, the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union.

President Lyndon Johnson was our smartest politician to make it into the White House. The book by Doris Kearns Goodwin quotes him as saying that no significant legislation gets passed without a big push by the President. Tell our President we need him to twist some arms and go into the cloak room on Capital Hill and make this bill happen.
