Obviously liverpool in the semi final at villa is my outstanding memory, but taking the north bank at highbury after they were taunting us in the clock end was nearly as good back in the day, and qpr away in the quarters after terry venables left us and clive allen stuck his finger up after scoring and running to our end, only to see the fans flooding onto the pitch were great days out,,,but liverpool for the sheer unexpected result and first live fa cup game on bbc for the nation to see,,priceless!
First live FA Cup semi wasn't it, not first live fa cup match?
I remember expecting the thrashing the moment I women up at stupid o clock to get one of the 4 or 5 10am special trains from Euston. Sudden change of possibilities after HT once Pembo nudged the ball down the wing and raced after it.
Coppell was and is a smart scouser.
Bit chilly to be wearing a blouse and skirt back then that April but each to their own.
yeah, my bad ! And only few months from the 9 nil thrashing, those unexpected results stay with you forever, doubt many palace even had money on us to win, i know i didnt even think of having a bet, wonder what the odds were?
personally, cardiff, 2004 vs west ham in the play off final.
It was so busy, the streets were packed with palace fans and we all jus tgot on, had a great time, playing footy in the street, hoofing balls every where, i was tipsy and enjoying the buzz, great atmosphere. We all drove up in a s***ty 12 seater mini van and it yeah.. great day.
I also loved place v vancouver, small section of palace fans in the pub, sunny day.. felt like 'normality' - seeing how i live there now.
It was a warm day. Dressed as a butch lesbian with breast bags full of Brandy to calm the pre match tension.
We were s*** at the time, Wrexham were the only team below us in the old 2nd division, we hadn't won away for 18 months, it was November, freezing cold, foggy, Wrexham was a s*** hole, we were fenced in like convicts, all 80 of us!!! But when Steve Lovell popped up with the winner 5 minutes from time and jumped up on the fence in front of us and we went mental it turned into one of my most memorable away days.
remember listening to it on the crackling radio, the atmosphere was great, 4 specials? good effort!
End of 2001 v Portsmouth (followed by Stockport).
Great games. Dean Austin who up until those games I thought was utter sh@t played incredibly and showed huge spirit.
I actually only went to the Pompy game. I watched the Stockport game on TV as I was in court the following day on a misdemeanour and thought I was going away for a while.
Little did I know that 24 hours later Palace would still be up and I would still be out!


The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in this case that respondent Oreste Fulminante's confession, received in evidence at his trial for murder, had been coerced, and that its use against him was barred by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The court also held that the harmless error rule could not be used to save the conviction. We affirm the judgment of the Arizona court, although for different reasons than those upon which that court relied.
Early in the morning of September 14, 1982, Fulminante called the Mesa, Arizona, Police Department to report that his 11-year-old stepdaughter, Jeneane Michelle Hunt, was missing. He had been caring for Jeneane while his wife, Jeneane's mother, was in the hospital. Two days later, Jeneane's body was found in the desert east of Mesa. She had been shot twice in the head at close range with a large caliber weapon, and a ligature was around her neck. Because of the decomposed condition of the body, it was impossible to tell whether she had been sexually assaulted.
Fulminante's statements to police concerning Jeneane's disappearance and his relationship with her contained a number of inconsistencies, and he became a suspect in her killing. When no charges were filed against him, Fulminante left Arizona for New Jersey. Fulminante was later convicted in New Jersey on federal charges of possession of a firearm by a felon.
Fulminante was incarcerated in the Ray Brook Federal Correctional Institution in New York. There he became [p283] friends with another inmate, Anthony Sarivola, then serving a 60-day sentence for extortion. The two men came to spend several hours a day together. Sarivola, a former police officer, had been involved in loansharking for organized crime, but then became a paid informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While at Ray Brook, he masqueraded as an organized crime figure. After becoming friends with Fulminante, Sarivola heard a rumor that Fulminante was suspected of killing a child in Arizona. Sarivola then raised the subject with Fulminante in several conversations, but Fulminante repeatedly denied any involvement in Jeneane's death. During one conversation, he told Sarivola that Jeneane had been killed by bikers looking for drugs; on another occasion, he said he did not know what had happened. Sarivola passed this information on to an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who instructed Sarivola to find out more.
Sarivola learned more one evening in October, 1983, as he and Fulminante walked together around the prison track. Sarivola said that he knew Fulminante was "starting to get some tough treatment and whatnot" from other inmates because of the rumor. App. 83. Sarivola offered to protect Fulminante from his fellow inmates, but told him, "'You have to tell me about it,' you know. I mean, in other words, 'For me to give you any help.'" Ibid. Fulminante then admitted to Sarivola that he had driven Jeneane to the desert on his motorcycle, where he choked her, sexually assaulted her, and made her beg for her life, before shooting her twice in the head. Id. at 84-85.
Sarivola was released from prison in November, 1983. Fulminante was released the following May, only to be arrested the next month for another weapons violation. On September 4, 1984, Fulminante was indicted in Arizona for the first-degree murder of Jeneane.
Prior to trial, Fulminante moved to suppress the statement he had given Sarivola in prison, as well as a second confession [p284] he had given to Donna Sarivola, then Anthony Sarivola's fiancee and later his wife, following his May, 1984, release from prison. He asserted that the confession to Sarivola was coerced, and that the second confession was the "fruit" of the first. Id. at 6-8. Following the hearing, the trial court denied the motion to suppress, specifically finding that, based on the stipulated facts, the confessions were voluntary. Id. at 44, 63. The State introduced both confessions as evidence at trial, and on December 19, 1985, Fulminante was convicted of Jeneane's murder. He was subsequently sentenced to death.
Fulminante appealed, arguing, among other things, that his confession to Sarivola was the product of coercion and that its admission at trial violated his rights to due process, under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. After considering the evidence at trial as well as the stipulated facts before the trial court on the motion to suppress, the Arizona Supreme Court held that the confession was coerced, but initially determined that the admission of the confession at trial was harmless error, because of the overwhelming nature of the evidence against Fulminante. 161 Ariz. 237, 778 P.2d 602 (1988). Upon Fulminante's motion for reconsideration, however, the court ruled that this Court's precedent precluded the use of the harmless error analysis in the case of a coerced confession. Id. at 262, 778 P.2d at 627. The court therefore reversed the conviction and ordered that Fulminante be retried without the use of the confession to Sarivola. [n1] Because of differing [p285] views in the state and federal courts over whether the admission at trial of a coerced confession is subject to a harmless error analysis, we granted the State's petition for certiorari, 494 U.S. 1055 (1990). Although a majority of this Court finds that such a confession is subject to a harmless error analysis, for the reasons set forth below, we affirm the judgment of the Arizona court.
We deal first with the State's contention that the court below erred in holding Fulminante's confession to have been coerced. The State argues that it is the totality of the circumstances that determines whether Fulminante's confession was coerced, cf. Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218, 226 (1973), but contends that, rather than apply this standard, the Arizona court applied a "but for" test, under which the court found that but for the promise given by Sarivola, Fulminante would not have confessed. Brief for Petitioner 14-15. In support of this argument, the State points to the Arizona court's reference to Bram v. United States, 168 U.S. 532 (1897). Although the Court noted in Bram that a confession cannot be obtained by "'any direct or implied promises, however slight, nor by the exertion of any improper influence,'" id. at 542-543 (quoting 3 H. Smith & A. Keep, Russell on Crimes and Misdemeanors 478 (6th ed. 1896)), it is clear this passage from Bram, which under current precedent does not state the standard for determining the voluntariness of a confession, was not relied on by the Arizona court in reaching its conclusion. Rather, the court cited this language as part of a longer quotation from an Arizona case which accurately described the State's burden of proof for establishing voluntariness. See 161 Ariz. at 244, 778 P.2d at 609 (citing State v. Thomas, 148 Ariz. 225, 227, 714 P.2d 395, 397 (1986), Malloy v. Hogan, 378 U.S. 1, 7, (1964), and Bram, 168 U.S. at 542-543). Indeed, the Arizona Supreme Court stated that a "determination regarding [p286] the voluntariness of a confession . . . must be viewed in a totality of the circumstances," 161 Ariz. at 243, 778 P.2d at 608, and under that standard plainly found that Fulminante's statement to Sarivola had been coerced.
[T]he confession was obtained as a direct result of extreme coercion, and was tendered in the belief that the defendant's life was in jeopardy if he did not confess. This is a true coerced confession in every sense of the word.
We normally give great deference to the factual findings of the state court. Davis v. North Carolina, 384 U.S. 737, 741 (1966); Haynes v. Washington, 373 U.S. 503, 515 (1963); Culombe v. Connecticut, 367 U.S. 568, 603-604 (1961). Nevertheless, "the ultimate issue of 'voluntariness' is a legal question requiring independent federal determination." Miller v. Fenton, 474 U.S. 104, 110 (1985). See also Mincey v. Arizona, 437 U.S. 385, 398 (1978); Davis, supra, 384 U.S. at 741-742; Haynes, supra, 373 U.S. at 515; Chambers v. Florida, 309 U.S. 227, 228-229 (1940).
Although the question is a close one, we agree with the Arizona Supreme Court's conclusion that Fulminante's confession was coerced. [n3] The Arizona Supreme Court found a credible threat of physical violence unless Fulminante confessed. Our cases have made clear that a finding of coercion need not depend upon actual violence by a government agent; [n4] a credible threat is sufficient. As we have said, "coercion can be mental as well as physical, and . . . the blood of the accused is not the only hallmark of an unconstitutional inquisition." Blackburn v. Alabama, 361 U.S. 199, 206 (1960). See also Culombe, supra, 367 U.S. at 584; Reck v. Pate, 367 U.S. 433, 440-441 (1961); Rogers v. Richmond, 365 U.S. 534, 540 (1961); Payne v. Arkansas, 356 U.S. 560, 561 [p288] (1958); Watts v. Indiana, 338 U.S. 49, 52 (1949). As in Payne, where the Court found that a confession was coerced because the interrogating police officer had promised that, if the accused confessed, the officer would protect the accused from an angry mob outside the jailhouse door, 356 U.S. at 564-565, 567, so too here, the Arizona Supreme Court found that it was fear of physical violence, absent protection from his friend (and Government agent) Sarivola, which motivated Fulminante to confess. Accepting the Arizona court's finding, permissible on this record, that there was a credible threat of physical violence, we agree with its conclusion that Fulminante's will was overborne in such a way as to render his confession the product of coercion.
Four of us, JUSTICES MARSHALL, BLACKMUN, STEVENS and myself, would affirm the judgment of the Arizona Supreme Court on the ground that the harmless error rule is inapplicable to erroneously admitted coerced confessions. We thus disagree with the Justices who have a contrary views.
axiomatic [proposition] that a defendant in a criminal case is deprived of due process of law if his conviction is founded, in whole or in part, upon an involuntary confession, without regard for the truth or falsity of the confession, Rogers v. Richmond, 365 U.S. 534, and even though there is ample evidence aside from the confession to support the conviction. Malinski v. New York, 324 U.S. 401 (1945); Stroble v. California, 343 U.S. 181; Payne v. Arkansas, 356 U.S. 560.
Jackson v. Denno, 378 U.S. 368, 376 (1964). The Court has repeatedly stressed that the view that the admission of a coerced confession can be harmless error because of the other evidence to support the verdict is "an impermissible doctrine," Lynumn v. Illinois, 372 U.S. 528, 537 (1963); for "the admission in evidence, [p289] over objection, of the coerced confession vitiates the judgment because it violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment." Payne, supra, 356 U.S. at 568. See also Rose v. Clark, 478 U.S. 570, 578, n. 6 (1986); New Jersey v. Portash, 440 U.S. 450, 459 (1979); Lego v. Twomey, 404 U.S. 477, 483 (1972); Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 23, and n. 8 (1967); Haynes v. Washington, supra, 373 U.S. at 518; Blackburn v. Alabama, supra, 361 U.S. at 206; Spano v. New York, 360 U.S. 315, 324 (1959); Brown v. Allen, 344 U.S. 443, 475 (1953); Stroble v. California, 343 U.S. 181, 190, (1952); Gallegos v. Nebraska, 342 U.S. 55, 63 (1951); Haley v. Ohio, 332 U.S. 596, 599, (1948); Malinski v. New York, 324 U.S. 401, 404 (1945); Lyons v. Oklahoma, 322 U.S. 596, 597, n. 1 (1944). As the decisions in Haynes and Payne, supra, show, the rule was the same even when another confession of the defendant had been properly admitted into evidence. Today, a majority of the Court, without any justification, cf. Arizona v. Rumsey, 467 U.S. 203, 212 (1984), overrules this vast body of precedent without a word, and, in so doing, dislodges one of the fundamental tenets of our criminal justice system.
In extending to coerced confessions the harmless error rule of Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18 (1967), the majority declares that, because the Court has applied that analysis to numerous other "trial errors," there is no reason that it should not apply to an error of this nature as well. The four of us remain convinced, however, that we should abide by our cases that have refused to apply the harmless error rule to coerced confessions, for a coerced confession is fundamentally different from other types of erroneously admitted evidence to which the rule has been applied. Indeed, as the majority concedes, Chapman itself recognized that prior cases "have indicated that there are some constitutional rights so basic to a fair trial that their infraction can never be treated as harmless error," and it placed in that category the constitutional rule against using a defendant's coerced confession against [p290] him at his criminal trial. 386 U.S. at 23, and n. 8 (emphasis added). Moreover, cases since Chapman have reiterated the rule that using a defendant's coerced confession against him is a denial of due process of law regardless of the other evidence in the record aside from the confession. Lego v. Twomey, supra, 404 U.S. at 483; Mincey v. Arizona, 437 U.S. at 398; New Jersey v. Portash, supra, 440 U.S. at 459; Rose v. Clark, supra, 478 U.S. at 577, 578, and n. 6.
where, as here, a coerced confession constitutes a part of the evidence before the jury and a general verdict is returned, no one can say what credit and weight the jury gave to the confession.
Spano, supra, 360 U.S. at 320-321. Thus, permitting a coerced confession to be part of the evidence on which a jury is free to base its verdict of guilty is inconsistent with the thesis that ours is not an [p294] inquisitorial system of criminal justice. Cf. Chambers v. Florida, 309 U.S. at 235-238.
is prohibited from entering a judgment of conviction or directing the jury to come forward with such a verdict, see Sparf & Hansen v. United States, 156 U.S. 51, 105 (1895); Carpenters v. United States, 330 U.S. 395, 408 (1947), regardless of how overwhelmingly the evidence may point in that direction.
United States v. Martin Linen Supply Co., 430 U.S. 564, 572-573 (1977). A defendant is entitled to counsel at trial, Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 (1963), and, as Chapman recognized, violating this right can never be harmless error. 386 U.S. at 23, and n. 8. See also White v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 59 (1963), where a conviction was set aside because the defendant had not had counsel at a preliminary hearing without regard to the showing of prejudice. In Vasquez v. Hillery, 474 U.S. 254 (1986), a defendant was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt, but the conviction had been set aside because of the unlawful exclusion of members of the defendant's race from the grand jury that indicted him, despite overwhelming evidence of his guilt. The error at the grand jury stage struck at fundamental values of our society, and "undermine[d] the structural integrity of the criminal tribunal itself, and [was] not amenable to harmless error review." Id. at 263-264. Vasquez, like Chapman, also noted that rule of automatic reversal when a defendant is tried before a judge with a financial interest in the outcome, Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 535 (1927), despite a lack of any indication that bias influenced the decision. Waller v. Georgia, 467 U.S. 39, 49 (1984), recognized that violation of the guarantee of a public trial required reversal without any showing of prejudice and even though the values [p295] of a public trial may be intangible and unprovable in any particular case.
certain constitutional rights are not, and should not be, subject to harmless error analysis, because those rights protect important values that are unrelated to the truthseeking function of the trial.
Rose v. Clark, 478 U.S. at 587 (STEVENS, J., concurring in judgment). The right of a defendant not to have his coerced confession used against him is among those rights, for using a coerced confession "abort[s] the basic trial process" and "render[s] a trial fundamentally unfair." Id. at 577, 578, n. 6.
For the foregoing reasons, the four of us would adhere to the consistent line of authority that has recognized as a basic tenet of our criminal justice system, before and after both Miranda and Chapman, the prohibition against using a defendant's coerced confession against him at his criminal trial. Stare decisis is "of fundamental importance to the rule of law," Welch v. Texas Highways and Public Transp. Dept., 483 U.S. 468, 494 (1987); the majority offers no convincing reason for overturning our long line of decisions requiring the exclusion of coerced confessions.
before a federal constitutional error can be held harmless, the court must be able to declare a belief that it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Court has the power to review the record de novo in order to determine an error's harmlessness. See ibid.; Satterwhite v. [p296] Texas, 486 U.S. at 258. In so doing, it must be determined whether the State has met its burden of demonstrating that the admission of the confession to Sarivola did not contribute to Fulminante's conviction. Chapman, supra, 386 U.S. at 26. Five of us are of the view that the State has not carried its burden, and accordingly affirm the judgment of the court below reversing petitioner's conviction.
the defendant's own confession is probably the most probative and damaging evidence that can be admitted against him. . . . [T]he admissions of a defendant come from the actor himself, the most knowledgeable and unimpeachable source of information about his past conduct. Certainly, confessions have profound impact on the jury, so much so that we may justifiably doubt its ability to put them out of mind even if told to do so.
Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. at 139-140 (WHITE J., dissenting). See also Cruz v. New York, 481 U.S. at 195 (WHITE, J., dissenting) (citing Bruton). While some statements by a defendant may concern isolated aspects of the crime or may be incriminating only when linked to other evidence, a full confession in which the defendant discloses the motive for and means of the crime may tempt the jury to rely upon that evidence alone in reaching its decision. In the case of a coerced confession such as that given by Fulminante to Sarivola, the risk that the confession is unreliable, coupled with the profound impact that the confession has upon the jury, requires a reviewing court to exercise extreme caution before determining that the admission of the confession at trial was harmless.
due to the overwhelming evidence adduced from the second confession, if there had not been a first confession, the jury would still have had the same basic evidence to convict Fulminante.
Id. at 246, 778 P.2d at 611.
We have a quite different evaluation of the evidence. Our review of the record leads us to conclude that the State has failed to meet its burden of establishing, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the admission of Fulminante's confession to Anthony Sarivola was harmless error. Three considerations compel this result.
[W]hat brings us to Court, what makes this case fileable, and prosecutable and triable is that later, Mr. Fulminante confesses this crime to Anthony Sarivola and later, to Donna Sarivola, his wife.
[W]e have a lot of [circumstantial] evidence that indicates that this is our suspect, this is the fellow that did it, but it's a little short as far as saying that it's proof that he actually put the gun to the girl's head and killed her. So it's a little short of that. We recognize that.
10 Tr. 75 (Dec. 17, 1985).
The jurors could also have believed that Donna Sarivola had a motive to lie about the confession in order to assist her husband. Anthony Sarivola received significant benefits from federal authorities, including payment for information, immunity from prosecution, and eventual placement in the federal Witness Protection Program. App. 79, 114, 129-131. In addition, the jury might have found Donna motivated by her own desire for favorable treatment, for she, too, was ultimately placed in the Witness Protection Program. Id. at 176, 179-180.
Finally, although our concern here is with the effect of the erroneous admission of the confession on Fulminante's conviction, it is clear that the presence of the confession also influenced the sentencing phase of the trial. Under Arizona law, the trial judge is the sentencer. Ariz.Rev.Stat. § 13-703(B) (1989). At the sentencing hearing, the admissibility of information regarding aggravating circumstances is governed by the rules of evidence applicable to criminal trials. § 13-703(C). In this case, "based upon admissible evidence produced at the trial," No. CR 14821, supra, at 2, the judge found that only one aggravating circumstance existed beyond a reasonable doubt, i.e., that the murder was committed in "an especially heinous, cruel, and depraved manner." Ibid.; see Ariz.Rev.Stat. § 13-703(F)(6) (1989). In reaching this conclusion, the judge relied heavily on evidence concerning the manner of the killing and Fulminante's motives and state of mind which could only be found in the two confessions. For example, in labeling the murder "cruel," the judge focused in part on Fulminante's alleged statements that he choked Jeneane and made her get on her knees and beg before killing her. No. CR 142821, supra, at 3. Although the circumstantial evidence was not inconsistent with this determination, neither was it sufficient to make such a finding beyond a reasonable doubt. Indeed, the sentencing judge acknowledged that the confessions were only partly corroborated by other evidence. Ibid.
In declaring that Fulminante "acted with an especially heinous and depraved state of mind," the sentencing judge relied solely on the two confessions. Id. at 4. While the judge found that the statements in the confessions regarding the alleged sexual assault on Jeneane should not be considered on the issue of cruelty because they were not corroborated by other evidence, the judge determined that they were worthy of belief on the issue of Fulminante's state of [p302] mind. Ibid. The judge then focused on Anthony Sarivola's statement that Fulminante had made vulgar references to Jeneane during the first confession, and on Donna Sarivola's statement that Fulminante had made similar comments to her. Ibid. Finally, the judge stressed that Fulminante's alleged comments to the Sarivolas concerning torture, choking, and sexual assault, "whether they all occurred or not," ibid., depicted "a man who was bragging, and relished the crime he committed." Id. at 5.
Although the sentencing judge might have reached the same conclusions even without the confession to Anthony Sarivola, it is impossible to say so beyond a reasonable doubt. Furthermore, the judge's assessment of Donna Sarivola's credibility, and hence the reliability of the second confession, might well have been influenced by the corroborative effect of the erroneously admitted first confession. Indeed, the fact that the sentencing judge focused on the similarities between the two confessions in determining that they were reliable suggests that either of the confessions alone, even when considered with all the other evidence, would have been insufficient to permit the judge to find an aggravating circumstance beyond a reasonable doubt as a requisite prelude to imposing the death penalty.
1. In its initial opinion, the Arizona Supreme Court had determined that the second confession, to Donna Sarivola was not the "fruit of the poisonous tree," because it was made six months after the confession to Sarivola; it occurred after Fulminante's need for protection from Sarivola presumably had ended; and it took place in the course of a casual conversation with someone who was not an agent of the State. 161 Ariz. 237, 246, 778 P.2d 602, 611 (1988). The court adhered to this determination in its supplemental opinion. Id. at 262, 778 P.2d at 627. This aspect of the Arizona Supreme Court's decision is not challenged here.
2. There are additional facts in the record, not relied upon by the Arizona Supreme Court, which also support a finding of coercion. Fulminante possesses low average to average intelligence; he dropped out of school in the fourth grade. Record 88i, 880. He is short in stature and slight in build. Id. at 88. Although he had been in prison before, ibid. he had not always adapted well to the stress of prison life. While incarcerated at the age of 26, he had "felt threatened by the [prison] population," id. at 88x, and he therefore requested that he be placed in protective custody. Once there, however, he was unable to cope with the isolation, and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Id. at 88t-88bl. The Court has previously recognized that factors such as these are relevant in determining whether a defendant's will has been overborne. See, e.g., Payne v. Arkansas, 356 U.S. 560, 567 (1958) (lack of education); Reck v. Pate, 367 U.S. 433, 441 (1961) (low intelligence). Cf. Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218, 226 (1973) (listing potential factors); Culombe v. Connecticut, 367 U.S. 568, 602 (1961) (same). In addition, we note that Sarivola's position as Fulminante's friend might well have made the latter particularly susceptible to the former's entreaties. See Spano v. New York, 360 U.S. 315, 323 (1959).
3. Our prior cases have used the terms "coerced confession" and "involuntary confession" interchangeably "by way of convenient shorthand." Blackburn v. Alabama, 361 U.S. 199, 207 (1960). We use the former term throughout this opinion, as that is the term used by the Arizona Supreme Court.
4. The parties agree that Sarivola acted as an agent of the Government when he questioned Fulminante about the murder and elicited the confession. Brief for Petitioner 19, Brief for Respondent 2.
5. In Satterwhite v. Texas, 486 U.S. 249 (1988), and Moore v. Illinois, 434 U.S. 220 (1977), the harmless error rule was applied to the admission of evidence in violation of the Sixth Amendment Counsel Clause, but in neither case did the error involve admitting a confession or an incriminating statement of the defendant, which was the case in Milton v.

8. Although Fulminante had allegedly confessed to Donna Sarivola several months previously, police did not yet know of this confession, which Anthony Sarivola did not mention to them until June, 1985. App. 992. They did, however, know of the first confession, which Fulminante had given to Anthony Sarivola nearly a year before.
9. The inadmissible confession to Anthony Sarivola was itself subject to serious challenge. Sarivola's lack of moral integrity was demonstrated by his testimony that he had worked for organized crime during the time he was a uniformed police officer. App. 74-75, 104-105. His overzealous approach to gathering information for which he would be paid by authorities, id. at 79, was revealed by his admission that he had fabricated a tape recording in connection with an earlier, unrelated FBI investigation. Id. at 998. He received immunity in connection with the information he provided. Id. at 129. His eagerness to get in and stay in the federal Witness Protection Program provided a motive for giving detailed information to authorities. Id. at 114, 129-131. During his first report of the confession, Sarivola failed to hint at numerous details concerning an alleged sexual assault on Jeneane, he mentioned them for the first time more than a year later during further interrogation, at which he also recalled, for the first time, the confession to Donna Sarivola. Id. at 90-92, 148-149. The impeaching affect of each of these factors was undoubtedly undercut by the presence of the second confession, which, not surprisingly, recounted a quite similar story, and thus corroborated the first confession. Thus, each confession, though easily impeachable if viewed in isolation, became difficult to discount when viewed in conjunction with the other.
10. Fulminante asserts that other prejudicial evidence, including his prior felony convictions and incarcerations, and his prison reputation for untruthfulness, likewise would not have been admitted that the confession to Sarivola been excluded. Brief for Respondent 31-32. Because we find that the admission of the confession was not harmless in any event, we express no opinion as to the effect any of this evidence might have had on Fulminante's conviction.

The rumored lovebirds share a smooch while enjoying a candlelit dinner at a restaurant in the Big Apple.
AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lawrence has been spotted sharing a kiss with her rumoured boyfriend during a date night in New York.
The Oscar-winning actress has been linked to art gallery director Cooke Maroney, 33, since May, with the pair first photographed together in New York earlier this month.
Jennifer and Cooke were also snapped enjoying a candlelit dinner at a restaurant in the Big Apple on Thursday night, June 21, with the duo unable to hide their affection for each other and even sharing a smooch at one point.
While the blonde star is now gearing up to start work on biographical drama Bad Blood, a source has told People.com that Jennifer is serious about her new romance.
"She is smiling like I have never seen her do with any of her previous boyfriends," the insider divulged, adding that they have "great chemistry".
Cooke works in the New York art scene and represents artists including Lena Dunham's father Carroll. He is also a director at Gladstone 64, the Gladstone Gallery's Upper East Side location in the famed Edward Durell Stone House.
Jennifer, 27, previously dated her Mother! director Darren Aronofsky, with the Hollywood duo getting together in September 2016 after filming on the psychological thriller had ended.
The pair called it quits in November last year (17), and The Hunger Games star insisted there was no negativity between her and any of her former flames.
"I'm friends with all my exes, actually," she said in February. "For the most part, yeah, I have a theory: I think it's because I'm blunt. I don't think that you can have any sort of bad relationship with anybody if you're just blunt".

Status epilepticus (SE) is any seizure lasting more than 30 minutes, whether or not consciousness is impaired or recurrent seizures without an intervening period of consciousness. SE is a medical emergency, and aggressive treatment of seizures that last 5 minutes or more is strongly recommended. Seizure duration of greater than 30 minutes is associated with increasing risk of long-term consequences. Table 57–1 shows the classification of SE. This chapter focuses on generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE), the most common and severe form.
The four stages of GCSE are (1) impending, (2) established, (3) refractory, and (4) superrefractory.
Most common in older children.
Most common in adolescents and adults.
Most common in infants and young children.
Seizure initiation is likely caused by an imbalance between excitatory (eg, glutamate, calcium, sodium, substance P, and neurokinin B) and inhibitory (γ-aminobutyric acid [GABA], adenosine, potassium, neuropeptide Y, opioid peptides, and galanin) neurotransmission.
GCSE is largely caused by glutamate acting on postsynaptic N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA)/kainate receptors. Sustained depolarization can result in neuronal death.
GABAA receptors may become less responsive to endogenous GABA and GABA agonists.
During phase I of GCSE, each seizure produces marked increases in plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, and steroid concentrations that may cause hypertension, tachycardia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Muscle contractions and hypoxia can cause acidosis, hypotension, shock, rhabdomyolysis, and secondary hyperkalemia, and acute tubular necrosis may ensue.
In phase II, beginning 30 minutes into the seizure, the patient begins to decompensate and may become hypotensive with compromised cerebral blood flow. Serum glucose may be normal or decreased, and hyperthermia, respiratory deterioration, hypoxia, and ventilatory failure may develop.
In prolonged seizures, motor activity may cease, but electrical seizures may persist.
Younger children, the elderly, and those with preexisting epilepsy have a higher propensity for sequelae.
Recent estimates suggest a mortality rate up to 16% in children, 20% in adults, and 38% in the elderly. Neonates have a higher mortality and more neurologic sequelae.

TSX says 'hardware failure' to blame for Friday outage, not cyber attack
News Staff and The Canadian Press | posted Monday, Apr 30th, 2018
The TMX Group says Friday's early shutdown of its exchanges in Toronto and Montreal was due to a hardware failure and not the result of a cyber attack.
The company said in a statement on Saturday that the outage began just after 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon due to a failure in a central storage appliance of the trading system.
The issue prompted the TMX group to shut down its exchanges at 3 p.m. Friday, with the last data reading showing the S&P/TSX up 31.34 points at 15,668.93.
"This hardware failure impacted both the primary and the redundant components preventing storage failover procedures from engaging," read the statement.
It says that due to the timing of the incident, it was impossible to implement disaster recovery systems in time to reopen on Friday.
"This incident was not the result of a cybersecurity attack."
Besides the Toronto Stock Exchange, which primarily handles equities of some of Canada's biggest companies, the company also operates the TSX Venture Exchange, the TSX Alpha Exchange and the Montreal Exchange, which is Canada's largest market for trading derivatives.
The Canadian Securities Exchange, a much smaller operation under different ownership, was unaffected.
"We apologize to all of our valued clients across Canada's capital markets and around the world," TMX CEO Lou Eccleston said in the Saturday statement.
"TMX is committed to applying the lessons learned from this incident to help us prevent such issues from recurring in the future."

LUIZ: I NEVER GO INTO A GAME THINKING CHELSEA WILL LOSE
Posted By: VICTOR N September 12, 2018
Photo: Catherine Ivill – AMA/Getty Images
David Luiz first arrived Chelsea in the summer of 2011, before departing the club three years later and then returned under Antonio Conte in the summer of 2016.
Over the course of his two spells as a Chelsea player, David Luiz has been part of sides which have won the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup, and he has revealed that he never goes into a game thinking Chelsea will lose.
"I never went onto the pitch in a Chelsea shirt thinking, 'We're going to lose today,'" he states.
"The feeling is always that we will win, and this is a great feeling, because I've been playing football for many, many years and if you feel that way every day, it means you're in the right place.
"Chelsea's a big club with the opportunity to fight every year for titles and there is also pressure to get results quickly. But it's a good pressure, and I think if you don't feel this pressure you stop being the type of player to play for Chelsea.
"Look at the Champions League in 2012. In one moment of the season, everybody was saying it was the worst for Chelsea in the last 10 years. But every single match we went out on the pitch to win, hoping to win, and in the end we won the Champions League, so it was the best year. So we changed our worst year for a long time into the best year in the history of this club. This is amazing."

Does that have something to do with faith also?
'Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap.
God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first.
So you have to make that effort.
I've always had, how shall I say it?
The prize at the end.
My whole life shows that.
should never have made it.
but I'll always have my family.
buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.
I have been lucky enough to have had.
my happiest moments were in the country.
for trees, for birds and flowers.
It is too much to hope that I shall keep up my success.
I don't ask for that.
All I shall do is my best and hope.
that others come first and you come second.
so don't fuss, dear; get on with it.
does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.
My own life has been much more than a fairy tale.
I've always gotten the prize at the end.
that would be materialistic, but to treasure the day.
simply to be alive at all.
Your heart just breaks, that's all.
But you can't judge, or point fingers.

Power Generation | RB Royal Industries, Inc.
RB Royal takes care in producing fluid transfer components and assemblies that our customers rely on worldwide. We understand the unique requirements that the Power Generation equipment markets demand and we provide proven technology and innovative component design that can get the job done. Some of the design challenges we have faced include limited space for fluid connections, excessive heat and vibrations generated by combined functions in a small space, inconsistent engine oil level readings due to issues with the oil line routing to the external oil cooler, and the need for the fluid connections to withstand rugged use and transportation. RB Royal engineers determined that flexible hoses, a remote oil-to-cooler application and custom hybrid hose assemblies were the best solutions to address the compounded issues.
The wear and tear of vibration, heat, impact and corrosion are all conditions that can compromise mechanical joints – this affects safety, productivity and the significant cost of lost time and repair. We work to improve the design of components and sub-assemblies for industrial and commercial equipment products by building in safety and durability while making it easier and more cost effective to access and service the system.


Monotype printmaking is a process where ink is applied directly onto a plate, and then manipulated to create an image. It is therefore very painterly and open for artists to bring their own style into their work. The image is then printed onto paper through a hand-worked press. Each inking of the plate produces a one-off unique image. Participants will experiment with the techniques and then work towards one of two more developed pieces to take home. Each workshop is limited to four participants and lunch is provided.

Below is an example of how to use the Mail wrapper, in an Android activity.
@Override

  setContentView(R.layout.main);

  Button addImage = (Button) findViewById(R.id.send_email);
  addImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
      Mail m = new Mail("gmailusername@gmail.com", "password");

      String[] toArr = {"bla@bla.com", "lala@lala.com"};
      m.setTo(toArr);
      m.setFrom("wooo@wooo.com");
      m.setSubject("This is an email sent using my Mail JavaMail wrapper from an Android device.");
      m.setBody("Email body.");

      try {
        m.addAttachment("/sdcard/filelocation");

        if(m.send()) {
          Toast.makeText(MailApp.this, "Email was sent successfully.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        } else {
          Toast.makeText(MailApp.this, "Email was not sent.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
      } catch(Exception e) {
        //Toast.makeText(MailApp.this, "There was a problem sending the email.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Log.e("MailApp", "Could not send email", e);
      }
    }
  });
}

A: I am getting the "test 3" log which means that the exception happened..
The result is that the email is not sent and the app is stuck... I dont know what is the wrong..

Blind assumption, Just Put your Mail sending code in AsyncTask. I think the reason for your Exception is NetworkOnMainThread..
Also post the full stacktrace of Exception. So we can further help you..
Update:
I think this line transport.connect(host, from, pass); from sendEmail() gives you Exception.

A: Word of warning if using "smtp.gmail.com" as the default smtp server.
Google will force you to change your linked email account password frequently due to their over zealous "suspicious activity" polices. In essence it treats repeated smtp requests from different countries within a short time frame as "suspicious activity". As they assume you (the email account holder) can only be in one country at a time.
When google systems detect "suspicious activity" it will prevent further emails until you change the password. As you will have hard coded the password into the app you have to re-release the app each time this happens, not ideal. This happened 3 times in a week to me, I even stored the password on another server and dynamically fetched the password each time google forced me to change it.
So I recommend using one of the many free smtp providers instead of "smtp.gmail.com" to avoid this security problem. Use the same code but change "smtp.gmail.com" to your new smtp forwarding host.

BLOG - Language games
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING WEIRD: on language games in contemporary Greek films
Geli Mademli
Discourse analysis, Genre, Language games, Performativity, Weird wave
Weird wavelengths
According to a popular dictionary, the word "weird," an adjective equivalent in connotation to the "strange" or "unusual," is akin to the "old English term for fate, or else for what was 'worthy' to come into existence" (Merriam-Webster 2011). As fate would have it, the very same word was brought to the fore and has been highly associated with contemporary Greek film production, from the moment a Guardian journalist introduced this tag. In this unusual founding document, Steve Rose relates the aesthetic values of this art-house films that were channeled in the international festival circuit, to the status quo of Greek politics and finance in the beginning of the second decade of the new Millennium: "The world's most messed-up country is making the world's most messed-up cinema" (Rose 2011). The world film industry and criticism has already assimilated the notion of "weird" as a generic term for an innovative artistic current. At the same time, the regulating tag of the "messing up" is still applied in favor of the standardization of a national identity, in a "common process where the structural and morphological traits of a national cinema conclude to the formation of a particular genre" (Poupou 2014: 47). However, we still find ourselves puzzled by the most striking trademark of this cinematic expression; the appearance of a new, hybrid spoken language in the diegetic world, which consists in word plays, metaphorical schemas, elliptical sentences, loanwords and made-up words etc., while the concept of role-playing is central in the narrative and the character development. Approaching this recent artistic practice through the scope of the notion of language games in the context of Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy, we will try to speculate on how this playful approach to language criticizes its power as an established social practice and domineering structure, and how these films disband a master narrative that would be articulated as a totalizing cultural narrative schema by a national cinematic apparatus. Eventually, the cultural idiom that is formulated by this roster of young directors is neither national nor transnational (Papadimitriou 2011: 493), but it is rather self-reflective, as it speculates on the place of a piece of art in a globalized context, at this time juncture. ...

This year I'm thinking of passing Erwin, Tn. (too close to Hot Springs) and try out Mountain Harbour Bed & Breakfast, located 0.3m west on US19E (~385.5 miles N. of Springer). I'm pretty sure this is the same place I heard a lot of good things about last year.
I used it to leave a car and take a shower. He charged $5 per night for the car and $3 per shower. Worked out fine.
Friends and I will be staying there this March 21. When will you be there, John?
Are you starting from Springer, if so when you leaving? I'll be leaving sometime in March, from Amicalola, so I don't expect to be there until sometime in April.
This is a good place to stay, but not huge. It was lonely for me as a sobo, but if nobos know what's good, you may have trouble getting a bed.
Why not stay in Erwin and Mt Harbour?
I stayed there on my 2006 thru-hike and I absolutely LOVED the place! It was probably my favorite hostel on the whole trail. The owners were amazing and very hospitable, and the breakfast was out of this world! I loved the hostel above the barn - and when I left my favorite shirt there, they mailed it to me and wouldn't take any money for shipping. Overall I just thought they went far beyond the call of duty as hostel/bed and breakfast owners. I'd highly recommend the place!
Yes, very hospitable people and a great place to stay.
I stayed there as well and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great hostel. Best shower on the trail. Would stay there again in a heart beat. Mary's breakfasts are amazing!! five bucks a day for a car is a bit much, but there's not much parking. They'll do your laundry for a couple of bucks too. I recommend it.
We live about 12 miles from this hostel and have extra beds and a AYCE dining hall when school (Lees-McRae College) is in session. If we are around, we can pick up and drop off folks at the Rt. 19E trailhead.
No smokers, alcohol, illegal substances, pets and blue-blazers.
How far is Mountain Harbour from the Kinkora in miles wise?
It is from 19E to Dennis Cove Rd, about 24 miles.
Between Erwin and Kincora there is also the Greasy Creek Friendly hostel. That got me wondering - what is the farthest distance between hostels? The Smokies?
Mountainer Harbour is real nice. Its $5 for straight up parking. Then they give some small discounts if you park and shuttle, or stay in the hostel. Just give them 24-48 hours notice of shuttle reservations. Shuttles vary due to location. I believe bitter end was $8, Carvers was $20, Buck Mtn Road/Campbell Hollow was $5, and Elk River was $10.
Usually when the main wave of thruhikers come through, Mountain Harbour gets packed fast. So get there early in the day when the crowd hits. High Point, Apple House Shelter and Doll Flats are the nearest campsites.
no internet, no cable. it was wonderful. had the place to myself a few weeks ago. great hosts. I hike. I don't drive,but $5 a day doesn't seem unreasonable to me. If it does to you, try parking by the trailhead and hope your car doesn't get broken into. 19 is infamous for that.
PS. For future reference, all I am doing is substracting mileage from here (http://www.aldha.org/comp_pdf.htm) (click on appropriate state for the .pdf).
The breakfast at this place was the BEST I had on the trail. Even if you don't stay, stop by for the breakfast! Seriously delicious for like $5 or $6.
5 bucks a day for the car?
I've used Mountain Harbour. I thought it was a bit expensive, but the accomodations and breakfast were well above average. For a section hiker, not bad at all. If I were trying to do an economy thru I'd pass. YMMV.
I am wondering if they know they have to make that climb up to Pond Flats. I saw a few Sobos who shortcuted from the Lake to Hampton Blue Blaze.
Used Mtn Harbour for a shuttle down to Iron Mtn Gap this week.
Parking was only $2 per night, showers when we finished were $3.
Interesting that the hostel is the top floor of a working barn that has been converted. 4 bunks and a separate room that has a queen (?) size bed. Shower stall might be a bit cramped if you are over 6 feet tall, full kitchen set up.
Mtn Harbour is a great place and the people that own it are wonderful. We stayed over-night at the bed and breakfast back in October. We had the most wonderful breakfast, they shuttled us to Indian Grave Gap at a very reasonable rate, and picked us up at Carvers Gap. They let us have free parking. We will definitely us their services again!!!
I stayed in that barn and the shower was the best I've had on the trail!!!!
Amazing breakfast! Gourmet B&B quality at hiker prices.
John - great place to stop for the night. I was there at a time when there were heavy thunderstorms and they tried to amke room for everyone. The horse trailer leaks though - you're better off in a tent.
Some section hikers made reservations in advance. If you know the date you'll be there for sure, you may want to try to reserve a bed in the barn. They also have more expensive traditional B&B rooms in the main house.
My youngest stills talks and tells others about staying at the Mountain Harbour B&B Hostel. It ruined her. That was her very first night "on" the trail, as we drove over and spent the night there before beginning a section hike to Kincora the next morning. We stayed in the horse barn hostel with a couple other hikers. Very nice.
But the "piece de resistance" was breakfast the next morning. Linen. China. Sterling. Goblets. With the B&B guests. And the food, oh, the food!
THAT was how she thought hiking the AT was all going to be! :eek: She's done many more miles now, plus part of Georgia by herself. She still talks about Mountain Harbour.
BTW, I don't even recall them charging for us leaving a vehicle there, which I've done on two occasions. Maybe they did, but it was very reasonable, if so.
Anyway, highly recommended. In fact, I just recommended the place this week to a couple who plan to thru-hike this year.
Had a bad shuttle experience with him. I won't ever use them again. I also won't recommend shuttle service from them. The hostel I know nothing about. But after the shuttle ride I will never stay there.
For starters I will go with speeding and passing a car on a blind turn with double yellow lines, going up to Carvers.
Mountain Harbour is a fantastic hostel. Very friendly hosts. Very reasonable rates for the hostel and set in beautiful surroundings. A friend hiking now had a great experience there. I think this would be a much much better choice than staying in Erwin. My friend hiked in so I'm not sure about the parking fees. I have to agree with Lonewolf that if it is $5 per day is high but it sure beats having your car vandalized up the street at the trailhead.
I stayed there that night along with loads of other hikers. Got there late afternoon and not only was the horse trailer fully occupied, they had so many hikers trying to duck the incoming storm, they also had their RV full, too. So I ended up tenting in a protected spot between the barn and the hillside. Quite a wild and wooly night with torrential rain and 60 mph winds. As I recall, it was about $5 for tent site, shower, laundry and stove fuel.
Breakfast was over-the-top delicious and worth every penny ($7? $10?). Definitely a "do again" if I'm ever in that area--one of the best hostels on the trail IMHO.
MUST-STOP! It has a large movie collection, wood stove, the classiest and gourmet breakfast spread on the trail, accomodating and gracious owners, a ride into town, EXCEPTIONALLY clean, slackpacking if you're into that sort of thing, down right homey feel.
I stayed two nights here on my SOBO thru, and felt like quite a princess, something I desperately needed at the time. The rates are extremely reasonable considering the services. The Roans are magical unto themselves, and this hostel puts them over the top! Can't wait to go back!
My visit was fantastic too. I look forward to my next visit.
Hikers must keep in mind that this is a business and prices are fair. But, the owners Mary and Terry are not there to serve freeloaders.
Super clean, very nice people (not hikers, so keep that in mind), we stayed there last fall for a shuttle to Carver's and hike back to 19E. Breakfast was stellar, fresh fruit, cantelope and blueberries, homemade jams from her neighbor, OJ, coffee and pancakes - delish.
There are cats in house, so if you're allergic be aware. Let our dog stay with no problems at all, and $2 for parking. Not a budget minded stay if you are a thru, but peaceful and a great porch to just chill out on, and watch the goats.
I cant say enough great things about MHBB. Mary and Terry (sp) as well as Shannon got Ward and myself all over the area during my sectioning this area over the span of 3-4 shuttles. I can only hike fri nights, sat and sundays so I cant go very far in a single trip and live 4 hours away. Never stayed here just used their shuttle and parking service. Very dog friendly if your dog isnt an *******, and on a scale this place and people are a 10/10. I will miss seeing them as a venture futher south but will def make a trip to Roan partly to visit with them.
I used pictures of the breakfast buffet to show what thru-hikers "normally" eat in the woods. Half my kids believed me. The other half weren't too sure if I was lying or not.
Great place - tented in the parking area, as bunk houses are not for me. Others loved it. Got a shower, buffet, nice shuttle up the road to town. great deal all in all.
Hope they continue. Looking forward to stopping by again in 2016.
I thought this place was top notch. I am sorry to hear others didn't like it. Passing on a hill, etc. I've had way worse on hitches. This was really a primo place. We got out of the snow. There's another hostel less than a day north and then Kincorra or Bear the next night. Very AT, three hostels in a row.
Stayed there 2 nights during very bad weather in 2011. Most pleasant stay, they did our laundry, took us into town for dinner and shopping, and they have the best breakfast ever! Hope to be lucky enough to get reservations there this year.
Stayed there in 2013, and I can't say enough good things about the place- clean, comfortable and really nice people. Never had such a great breakfast before or since, top notch food and really nice people.

Grownups.
When I was a little girl, I wanted to grow up. Not for the same reasons why everyone else wanted to grow up. It wasn't about being able to drive or have a house or a family or to be able to stay up as late as I liked. I sincerely thought that when I grew up, I'd be tall and get to wear long dresses that I could spin around in, and my hair would be blonde.
That's what all the tv, movie, magazines, books, and people implied, when they talked about being a grownup.

Jack and the Beansprout.
My earliest memories are of me with my pudgy fat cheeks and lips, hanging onto my grandmother's back with my tiny hands clasped around the cool, papery skin of her neck trying to say, "bean sprout." It kept coming out as "jack and the beanstalk" because I knew that one part of that long tumble of words was the right one, and if I could just catch it, it would trigger the rest. (By the way, I still use this technique when I'm trying to think up words in German.)
Funny now, as I think about it, that "bean sprout" should have been one of my very first words. Bean sprouts, namul, or mung beans, were one of my favourite foods as a child. I loved the crunchy white stalk, but the best fun of all was taking the yellow bean head and squeezing them apart and eating each half in two tiny bites.
I'm pretty sure that none of my Caucasian friends had ever seen or eaten a mung bean until they were much older and experienced their first Korean barbecue restaurant . Jack and the Beanstalk was absolutely my favorite fairy tale because I thought he was Korean. He understood. Who knew that food could be so magical?
Heidi was my neighbor. She was the poster child Korean daughter, the studious standard to which my parents always held me. They never directly asked, "Why can't you be more like her?" but their pointed questions prodded me that way.
I thought about Heidi a lot more as an adult than I did at the time. We were just kids, and she lived around the corner and was in my class and a girl, but despite inviting me to the usual round of after school activities and birthday parties, I wouldn't say that we were friends. We were always next to each other because we had the same last name. Everyone asked if we were sisters. No, a third of Korea shares our last name. She was the perfect overachiever: straight A+'s, first in everything, and she did everything. And even to her, that was never quite enough. I could tell by her face.
As an adult I wonder a lot about the differences between us and how we approached the world. Did her parents push her, or was her determination to be the best coming from inside? I resisted the expectations, the Asianness that my parents pushed onto me with reluctance and angst.
As an adult I first felt bad, joking insensitively that she was the kind of Asian who snapped when they got older. But who am I to say? Maybe now, even 30 years later, I'm secretly jealous.

Grandma.
Grandmothers to me were a completely different concept to me than my actual grandmother. Grandmothers were secret friends, moms squared, caretakers and conspirators, that friend you could always relate when you couldn't stand your parents. The one you mourn when they're gone.
My grandmother was an imposing silver figure with whom I have never shared a word.
I know almost nothing about my grandmother, not even her real name until I was an adult. She was always "halmoni" or at most, "Mrs Lee" in her retirement community. Ancientness is next to godliness in Korea, and while she walked amongst us physically, I always felt the world silently revolve around her. She didn't speak a word of English and never wanted to, although she lived in America since the 1970s. She was the proudest person I have ever known. She always insisted on mixing two breakfast cereals together in the same bowl. She hated chicken.
As the years passed and I asked my mother more about her, she became even more of a mystery to me. I know (now) that she was a true remnant of the old Korea, a place of arranged marriages and households full of servants and women having separate lives than men. She was all of this and so much more that I will ever know. I don't understand how or why she decided to come and stay in America, in a country where she actively pushes away everything American. But I know that she is not alone in that, and that there are thousands of people who wrap and shield themselves with their differences.
I live in Germany and get upset when people don't accept me as one of their own.
Orchestra.
I started the violin when I was 5. My teacher was a recent Juilliard graduate, young and energetic and Korean, meaning she was a 5'3 musical drill sergeant. Orchestra became the only other activity I would do, outside of homework and studying for the SATs. For me and the children of other Asians in our suburban neighborhood. The other students of my teacher were nearly entirely Asian. Our orchestra was one of the best in the state, and it was comprised of nearly entirely Asian-Americans like myself. I didn't think this was unusual until years later. In fact, I thought this was normal, that the majority of classical musicians were Asian everywhere in the world.
It wasn't until much later - when I went to university - that I realised how my experience was skewed. I think it was the scene in movie, The Red Violin, that hit me hard, the scene where Comrade Xiang was pursued for having a violin in communist China. A symbol of the evils of western culture.
While I'd known that my sheet music had instructions in Italian or German, I had not really known that classical music was still a very European thing. Those blinders were locked on, hard.
Jane.
My high school friend Jane was one year older, but we got along like sisters. We were both black sheep, wearing audacious outfits and had a rebellious, creative streak that probably made us a lot cooler than we felt. Jane had a brother, who, in the way of many Korean familes, did nothing and got everything. Jane, her brother, and her mother lived alone, and her future in college was contingent only upon her getting a scholarship. His was secure as long as he existed. He got the BMW, although he couldn't drive. He had no academic requirements or curfew. No questions ever asked. I didn't know how to empathise or be a good friend at that age, but I could see how much Jane hurt, and was outraged at the injustice. I was ecstatic when she earned a scholarship to art school.
I don't know what happened to Jane after graduation, but decades later I imagine her as a creative director somewhere in Manhattan.
Her time. Her choice. Her life.
I've never dated an Asian guy. In high school I would get close and we'd be friends, but despite my brain wanting more, my body just couldn't. It felt like dating a brother.
My family with my grandmother visiting Washington DC, 1981.
Because my parents lived through the Korean War, they grew up with almost nothing. No food and no home, cousins and grandmothers separated by political borders, disappeared forever. When I finally visited my mother's childhood home outside of Seoul, she pointed to the garden and told me about hiding my grandfather in a hole in the ground, secretly delivering food to him only after nightfall. She never talked about any of this until I was in my 30s, so growing up I always wondered why they worked so hard all the time.
At first, I thought it was just because they liked working. Only later did I realise that it was more than that. It was a pride of your tree being uprooted and destroyed, and the seed finding a firm hold somewhere new.
But they worked and worked and worked. I would see my mother for a few minutes in the morning before she left for work, and I would see her after 8 when she got home. For part of this, my father owned his own business too, and she would go directly there to help him close up at night.
Thanks to them, I never experienced the same level of poverty. Sometimes feel like the life they gave me undermined my own ability to understand my own limits. The biggest difference between their generation and mine is that I crave challenge as an opportunity to grow, and they strive to never struggle again. That's how you know you've made it, they say.
Integration.
In retrospect, it's interesting that although my parents were very proud to be American and wanted the American dream for our family, nearly all my doctors, dentists, and tutors were Korean.
They would only trust their own people, but how is that possible when your goal is total integration?
Remembering the traditions my parents developed when I was little.
I was tired of being called "Kim." Teachers, coworkers, nurses, government officials would call out, "Kim. Kim! Kim?!" and get irritated when it took me several minutes before I realised they were calling for me.
Consequently, I took my husband's family name when we were married, a naively mute, passive swing at all of America that only I would ever hear. Aha! I thought to myself triumphantly, Now when you deal with me, you can't pronounce it! While true, this hasty legal, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity erased my Korean heritage and made me ethnically ambiguous forever. A few years later I took on my nickname as my given name (in all forms but the IRS) and the deal was done.
I had, in two simple strokes, evolved completely away from my gender, my heritage, and my family.
Only now am I beginning to find my way back.

Earlier research has been conducted on body mass index (BMI) and economic outcomes. However, this is the first study to employ the Panel Study of Economic Dynamics (PSID) to address this topic. PSID, which has surveyed a nationally representative sample of 5,000 families since 1968, allows researchers to track changes in Americans over several decades–notably the interaction between age and gender–rather than at a single moment in time or over a short period.
