The Ana<strong>to</strong>my of a DUI<br />
An Overview of Alcohol<br />
By Manuel J. Barba,<br />
DUI Defense At<strong>to</strong>rney<br />
In <strong>the</strong> last article I began discussing <strong>the</strong><br />
Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test, and<br />
I outlined <strong>the</strong> first part of <strong>the</strong> test which is in<br />
essence a mini “medical” evaluation <strong>to</strong> make<br />
sure that <strong>the</strong> HGN test can be administered<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> subject. If <strong>the</strong> subject’s eyes cannot<br />
track <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r equally, or <strong>the</strong> pupils were<br />
of different sizes, or resting nystagmus was<br />
present, this would be an indication that <strong>the</strong><br />
subject has some sort of medical condition<br />
and <strong>the</strong> HGN test should not be administered<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> subject. Once it is determined<br />
that <strong>the</strong> subject’s eyes track <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r equally,<br />
<strong>the</strong> pupils of both eyes are <strong>the</strong> same size, and<br />
that <strong>the</strong> subject has no resting nystagmus,<br />
<strong>the</strong> administration of <strong>the</strong> HGN test can<br />
proceed.<br />
Remember <strong>the</strong> instructions given <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
subject by <strong>the</strong> officer are as follows:<br />
(1) “I am going <strong>to</strong> check your eyes.”<br />
(2) “Keep your head still and follow this<br />
stimulus with your eyes only.”<br />
(3) “Keep following <strong>the</strong> stimulus with your<br />
eyes until I tell you <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p.”<br />
Clue #1: Lack of Smooth Pursuit.<br />
The stimulus (pen light, finger, etc.) is placed<br />
approximately 12-15 inches from <strong>the</strong> suspect’s<br />
nose and slightly elevated above eye<br />
level<br />
Beginning with <strong>the</strong> stimulus centered with<br />
<strong>the</strong> subject’s nose, <strong>the</strong> officer will check <strong>the</strong><br />
suspect’s left eye by moving <strong>the</strong> stimulus <strong>to</strong><br />
his right, moving <strong>the</strong> stimulus smoothly,<br />
at a speed that requires approximately two<br />
seconds <strong>to</strong> bring <strong>the</strong> suspect’s eye as far<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> side as it can go. While moving <strong>the</strong><br />
stimulus <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> right, <strong>the</strong> officer is taught <strong>to</strong><br />
watch <strong>the</strong> suspect’s left eye and determine<br />
whe<strong>the</strong>r it is able <strong>to</strong> follow <strong>the</strong> stimulus<br />
smoothly. The eye of an alcohol free person<br />
will usually (but not always) follow <strong>the</strong> stimulus<br />
smoothly, like a marble rolling across a<br />
smooth pane of glass, or windshield wipers<br />
moving across a wet windshield. If <strong>the</strong> eye<br />
begins <strong>to</strong> “bounce” as it follows <strong>the</strong> stimulus,<br />
this is a clue that <strong>the</strong> subject may have been<br />
drinking alcohol or taken some o<strong>the</strong>r drug.<br />
The bounce is slight, like a marble rolling on<br />
sandpaper, or a windshield wiper moving<br />
across a dry windshield.<br />
Once <strong>the</strong> officer has reached <strong>the</strong> far<strong>the</strong>st<br />
point <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> side, <strong>the</strong> officer will reverse<br />
direction and move <strong>the</strong> stimulus all <strong>the</strong> way<br />
<strong>to</strong> his left, back across subject’s face checking<br />
<strong>to</strong> see if <strong>the</strong> right eye pursues <strong>the</strong> stimulus<br />
smoothly. Once at <strong>the</strong> far<strong>the</strong>st point <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> left side, <strong>the</strong> officer will <strong>the</strong>n move <strong>the</strong><br />
stimulus back <strong>the</strong> center. Again, <strong>the</strong> speed<br />
of <strong>the</strong> stimulus as it is being moved is crucial;<br />
movement of <strong>the</strong> stimulus should take<br />
approximately two seconds from <strong>the</strong> center<br />
out <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> right side, two seconds back <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
center, and ano<strong>the</strong>r two seconds from <strong>the</strong><br />
center out <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> left side, and ano<strong>the</strong>r two<br />
seconds back <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> center. Once a complete<br />
pass (movement <strong>to</strong> both sides and back <strong>to</strong><br />
center) <strong>the</strong> procedure is <strong>to</strong> be repeated again,<br />
thus two complete passes are <strong>to</strong> be made<br />
across <strong>the</strong> subjects face.<br />

important & exciting panel with national<br />

Transgender rights are receiving increasing<br />
attention both in <strong>the</strong> media and by our<br />
elected legislative bodies.<br />
Critical <strong>to</strong> securing <strong>the</strong> rights for Transgender<br />
individuals is education of lgbt<br />
community and <strong>the</strong> public at large.<br />

and <strong>the</strong> way we are inside. We all have<br />
our opposite sex side and many men<br />

greatest part of us. Lets hug each o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

AROPTIMISM AND ART FOR <strong>2016</strong><br />
The art world has helped <strong>to</strong> define many of <strong>the</strong><br />
major issues during <strong>the</strong> past year. Topics, such<br />
as Black Lives Matter, ISIS, income inequality<br />
and marriage equality have been engaged and<br />
portrayed in various art media.<br />
Marriage equality has been passed by <strong>the</strong><br />
Supreme Court. There are several cute and<br />
emotional examples of art showing gay and lesbian<br />
love. However <strong>the</strong> struggle for rights and<br />
equality still continues in <strong>the</strong> <strong>LGBT</strong> community.<br />
Issues that are still prevalent include: gay<br />
violence, gay bashing, as we have just witnessed<br />
in <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> over <strong>the</strong> past few months;<br />
Employment discrimination is still out <strong>the</strong>re in<br />
subtle and overt examples; Poverty, especially<br />
among young gay and lesbian people who are<br />
shunned by <strong>the</strong>ir families and communities is<br />
prevalent; Health care among <strong>LGBT</strong> people is a<br />
problem, with many not reporting health issues<br />
as a result of discrimination, in some communities.<br />
David Wojnarowicz - 1954 -1993, was a prolific<br />
gay New York, artist, working in various media,<br />
including: painting, pho<strong>to</strong>graphy, and film was<br />
also an aids activist. He created a pho<strong>to</strong>stat,<br />
drawing with text in 1990. It is still relevant<br />
<strong>to</strong>day regarding <strong>LGBT</strong> acceptance. The piece,<br />
which is one of 10 prints, is displayed at <strong>the</strong><br />
Whitney Museum of American Art. This is<br />
shown below, consisting of a drawing of a<br />
young boy, assumed <strong>to</strong> be from a pho<strong>to</strong>graph<br />
of Wojnarowicz. The work which was untitled,<br />
is subtitled, “One Day This Kid”. The size<br />
restriction in <strong>the</strong> reproduction below does not<br />
allow <strong>the</strong> reader <strong>to</strong> read <strong>the</strong> text. Quoted are<br />
a few lines <strong>to</strong> provide you with a feel for <strong>the</strong><br />
substance of <strong>the</strong> text. You may find <strong>the</strong> complete<br />
text in Whitney.org, looking under David<br />
Wojnarowicz, as follows:<br />
“One day this kid will come <strong>to</strong> know something<br />
that causes a sensation equivalent <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> separation<br />
of <strong>the</strong> earth form its axis....One day this<br />
kid will reach a point where he senses a division<br />
that isn’t ma<strong>the</strong>matical. One day this kid will<br />
find something in his mind and body and soul<br />
that makes him hungry... One day this kid will<br />
do something that causes men who wear uniforms<br />
of priests and rabbis, men who inhabit<br />
certain s<strong>to</strong>ne buildings, <strong>to</strong> call for his death....<br />
Or one day this kid will talk. When he begins<br />
<strong>to</strong> talk, men who develop a fear of this kid will<br />
attempt <strong>to</strong> silence him with strangling, fists,<br />
prison, suffocation, rape, intimidation, drugging,<br />
ropes, guns, laws menace, raving gangs....<br />
Doc<strong>to</strong>rs will pronounce this kid curable as if his<br />
brain were a virus....All this will begin <strong>to</strong> happen....<br />
when he discovers he desires <strong>to</strong> place his<br />
naked body against <strong>the</strong> body of ano<strong>the</strong>r boy.”<br />

LEATHER REALM by Dave Murdock “The Lea<strong>the</strong>r scene is changing – Part 2”<br />
Before I continue last weeks column I just want <strong>to</strong> friends and so everyone banded <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> help,<br />
give a shout out <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Desert</strong> Daily <strong>Guide</strong>. This and in doing so everyone found common ground.<br />
column marks my 1 year anniversary of writing We <strong>to</strong>ned down <strong>the</strong> bd/sm not only so as not <strong>to</strong><br />
Lea<strong>the</strong>r Realm for <strong>the</strong>m and I wanted <strong>to</strong> thank scare off potential donors but because we didn’t<br />
Will Paige and his staff for giving me <strong>the</strong> opportunity<br />
know what was killing us so we put a lid on it.<br />
of writing a Lea<strong>the</strong>r column. Not many But that’s still not <strong>the</strong> entire reason. The rest of<br />
publications would be be as accomodating as <strong>the</strong>y it, and sometimes I think <strong>the</strong> majority of it, has<br />
have been. They have consistently supported <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong> do with <strong>the</strong> internet. Now you don’t have <strong>to</strong><br />
Lea<strong>the</strong>r Community in <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> by promoting get dressed up in your best gear, you can just type<br />
Lea<strong>the</strong>r events here by giving us generous ad space, a few words, click a few but<strong>to</strong>ns and you can get<br />
so take <strong>the</strong> time <strong>to</strong> send <strong>the</strong>m a note <strong>to</strong> thank <strong>the</strong>m pretty much whatever you want. Anyone can call<br />
for supporting our community. You can send an <strong>the</strong>mselves Master, no bona-fides needed. And<br />
email <strong>to</strong>: publisher541@desertdailyguide.com. while I understand it and yes, partake in <strong>the</strong> online<br />
Last week I started writing about how <strong>the</strong> Lea<strong>the</strong>r<br />
scene, it does scare me a little.<br />
scene has been changing from <strong>the</strong> hard core The o<strong>the</strong>r day a friend, new <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> scene, sent me<br />
ultra-masculine Tom of Finland look <strong>to</strong> something an article he’d found about electro-play. I’m glad<br />
that has less <strong>to</strong> do with what you are wearing and he was searching for info but <strong>the</strong> problem was <strong>the</strong><br />
more <strong>to</strong> do with homogenization of Lea<strong>the</strong>r in<strong>to</strong> a article he sent me was mostly wrong. In <strong>the</strong> bad<br />
clothing fetish with more and more people wearing old good old days you learned how <strong>to</strong> “play” safely<br />
lea<strong>the</strong>r as a fashion statement.<br />
by your men<strong>to</strong>rs, <strong>the</strong> elders in <strong>the</strong> community and<br />
So why is this happening? The article stated you didn’t do a scene until your men<strong>to</strong>r felt you<br />
that ““Lea<strong>the</strong>r became metaphoric for claiming were ready <strong>to</strong> solo. And while that still happens<br />
masculinity,” said Michael Bronski, a gender and in <strong>the</strong> harder core Lea<strong>the</strong>r scene <strong>the</strong> Internet has<br />
sexuality studies professor at Harvard University<br />
become ano<strong>the</strong>r method of learning. My problem<br />
and author of “A Queer His<strong>to</strong>ry of <strong>the</strong> United with it is how do you know if what you are learn-<br />
States.” “These guys were baby boomers who’d been ing is correct or written by a 15 year old who has<br />
<strong>to</strong>ld that being gay meant being a sweater queen or no clue and is just regurgitating something <strong>the</strong>y<br />
being fluffy or effeminate.” And I think that’s really read?<br />
<strong>the</strong> truth, and why I was attracted <strong>to</strong> lea<strong>the</strong>r in Good grief, I’ve reached my column length and I<br />
<strong>the</strong> first place. I liked heavy duty masculinity and still have more <strong>to</strong> say on this <strong>to</strong>pic so I guess this<br />
that’s what <strong>the</strong> scene offered. As I was coming out is going <strong>to</strong> be a 3 part series. Tune in next week<br />
I looked at <strong>the</strong> more effeminate gays in my small for <strong>the</strong> continuation where I’ll talk about why just<br />
home <strong>to</strong>wn community and thought “If that’s what wearing lea<strong>the</strong>r does not a Lea<strong>the</strong>rman make.<br />
being gay is <strong>the</strong>n I must not be gay”. Well, we all<br />
know how that statement played out...<br />
But <strong>the</strong> Lea<strong>the</strong>r scene has really been homogenized.<br />
Dave Murdock<br />
We don’t have <strong>to</strong> have our own places (al-<br />
If you have any questions about <strong>the</strong><br />
though a part of me wishes we still did). Lea<strong>the</strong>r is<br />

now accepted everywhere, and it’s not looked at as<br />
something scary anymore. We had <strong>to</strong> join forces <strong>to</strong> Lea<strong>the</strong>rrealm@gmail.com<br />

David Bowie Facts I don’t<br />
know where I’m going from<br />
here, but I promise it won’t<br />
be boring. DB<br />
Bowie provided <strong>the</strong> voice of <strong>the</strong> longnosed,<br />
blue-skinned, stilet<strong>to</strong>-sporting<br />
Atlantean King “Lord Royal Highness” in<br />
<strong>the</strong> 2007 animated TV movie SpongeBob’s<br />
Atlantis SquarePantis.<br />
Nominated for an MTV award for his<br />
cameo in Zoolander “If nobody has any<br />
objections, I believe I might be of service?”<br />
Artist and school chum George Underwood<br />
punched Bowie in <strong>the</strong> left eye while<br />
wearing a ring on his finger, during a fight<br />
over a girl, causing paralysis in Bowie’s<br />
left pupil and his distinctive mismatched<br />
appearance. But <strong>the</strong> injury did not affect<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir friendship.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r boyhood friend when he was 17,<br />
Bowie (David Jones) hung out with friend<br />
Reginald Kenneth Dwight (El<strong>to</strong>n John)<br />
at <strong>the</strong> Soho’s Giaconda Cafe, <strong>to</strong> talk about<br />
music.<br />
David Bowie died of cancer at <strong>the</strong> age of<br />
69. Though his songs were forbidden in<br />
<strong>the</strong> USSR for many years, Russians found<br />
ways <strong>to</strong> hear his music. And <strong>the</strong>y loved his<br />
music. He will be missed world wide.<br />

Unfortunately many officers will not perform<br />
this part of <strong>the</strong> test correctly; many<br />
officers will move <strong>the</strong> stimulus <strong>to</strong>o fast, or<br />
only doing one pass instead off <strong>the</strong> required<br />
two passes, or will only check one eye.<br />
Why is <strong>the</strong> speed important? Because<br />
studies have shown that if <strong>the</strong> officer moves<br />
<strong>the</strong> stimulus <strong>to</strong>o fast, <strong>the</strong> officer will actually<br />
induce or cause <strong>the</strong> nystagmus <strong>to</strong> occur. If<br />
<strong>the</strong> officer causes <strong>the</strong> nystagmus by moving<br />
<strong>the</strong> stimulus <strong>to</strong>o fast, <strong>the</strong> conclusion that<br />
<strong>the</strong> nystagmus is caused by alcohol or drugs<br />
in <strong>the</strong> body is false. Thus <strong>the</strong> timing is<br />
important!<br />
If <strong>the</strong> officer fails <strong>to</strong> complete two passes<br />
and only does one pass, <strong>the</strong>n he has no<br />
opportunity <strong>to</strong> rule out a false positive. The<br />
purpose of <strong>the</strong> second pass is <strong>to</strong> ensure<br />
that what <strong>the</strong> officer thinks he observed on<br />
<strong>the</strong> first pass is really <strong>the</strong>re by confirming<br />
it on <strong>the</strong> second pass. For instance, let’s<br />
say on <strong>the</strong> first pass <strong>the</strong> officer believed he<br />
observed a lack of smooth pursuit in both<br />
eyes. On <strong>the</strong> second pass he should see <strong>the</strong><br />
lack of smooth pursuit again in <strong>the</strong> eyes. If<br />
he does not, <strong>the</strong>n it’s not <strong>to</strong> be counted as a<br />
clue. Thus <strong>the</strong> second pass is essential!<br />
Next week, I will discuss <strong>the</strong> second clue:<br />
Distinct and Sustained Nystagmus at Maximum<br />
Deviation, as well as its standardized<br />
procedures. DUI Defense At<strong>to</strong>rney Manuel<br />

SENIOR CARE<br />
Words <strong>to</strong> live by.<br />
Under certain circumstances, profanity<br />
provides a relief denied even <strong>to</strong> prayer<br />
Patriotism is <strong>the</strong> last refuge of scoundrels.<br />
Part of <strong>the</strong> secret of a success in life is <strong>to</strong> eat<br />
what you like and let <strong>the</strong> food fight it out<br />
inside.<br />
It is better <strong>to</strong> deserve honors and not have<br />
<strong>the</strong>m than <strong>to</strong> have <strong>the</strong>m and not deserve<br />
<strong>the</strong>m.<br />
Let us be thankful for <strong>the</strong> fools. But for<br />
<strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> rest of us could not succeed.<br />
You can’t depend on your eyes when your<br />
imagination is out of focus.<br />
I’ve lived a long life and seen a lot of hard<br />
times...most of which never happened.<br />
Keep away from people who try <strong>to</strong> belittle<br />
your ambitions. Small people always do<br />
that, but <strong>the</strong> really great make you feel that<br />
you, <strong>to</strong>o, can become great.<br />
Suppose you were an idiot... And suppose<br />
you were a member of Congress... But I<br />
repeat myself.<br />
Always do <strong>the</strong> right thing. This will gratify<br />
some people and as<strong>to</strong>nish <strong>the</strong> rest.<br />

THAT IS FUNNY<br />
A guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at <strong>the</strong> door. He opens <strong>the</strong> door and sees a<br />
snail on <strong>the</strong> porch. He picks up <strong>the</strong> snail and throws it as far as he can. Three years later<br />
<strong>the</strong>re’s a knock on <strong>the</strong> door. He opens it and sees <strong>the</strong> same snail. The snail says: “What <strong>the</strong><br />
hell was that all about?”<br />
My grandfa<strong>the</strong>r always said, “Don’t watch your money; watch your health.” So one day<br />
while I was watching my health, someone s<strong>to</strong>le my money. It was my grandfa<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
I always look for a man who has a tat<strong>to</strong>o. I see a man with a tat<strong>to</strong>o, and I’m thinking,<br />
“Okay, here’s a guy who’s capable of making a decision he’ll regret in <strong>the</strong> future.”<br />
My husband and I <strong>to</strong>ok out life insurance policies on each o<strong>the</strong>r -- so now it’s just a waiting<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by Jersey Shore<br />
Social Media is <strong>the</strong> death of humanity. It’s<br />
an excuse <strong>to</strong> bully people while remaining<br />
anonymous. If you ask me, it just makes<br />
you a coward. Not <strong>to</strong> mention said bully.<br />
Do you really need <strong>to</strong> bash o<strong>the</strong>rs so you<br />
feel better about yourself? Well, I guess<br />
you do because everyone seems <strong>to</strong> be<br />
doing it. What I find interesting is that it<br />
appears <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong> “people” that have been<br />
bullied in school or beyond. Well, if you<br />
were/are a victim of bullying, why would<br />
you do it <strong>to</strong> someone else?<br />
I find that my name is being dragged<br />
through <strong>the</strong> mud, so <strong>the</strong>y look innocent<br />
and perfect. It’s <strong>the</strong> people who have<br />
known me for a while who suddenly say,<br />
Jersey did that? Well, Jersey DIDN’T do<br />
that and you should know because you’ve<br />
know Jersey for multiple years. Jersey is<br />
an open book and because a talentless<br />
hack and walking coat hanger on stage<br />
says it, you believe <strong>the</strong>m? Where are your<br />
balls? <strong>Your</strong> opinion? <strong>Your</strong> intuition? <strong>Your</strong><br />
morals and own thought process? Man up<br />
and be your own person and not a follower.<br />
I have ano<strong>the</strong>r soon <strong>to</strong> be ex friend who<br />
dabbles with <strong>the</strong> enemy. Someone leaving<br />
all options open <strong>to</strong> join <strong>the</strong> Shit team and<br />
dump me for something “better” after<br />
all I’ve given. They always seem <strong>to</strong> figure<br />
it out way <strong>to</strong> late that it doesn’t get any<br />
better than me. Well that s<strong>to</strong>ps now. I am<br />
fair, honest, <strong>to</strong>o honest, and respectful<br />
and drama free. If you can’t deal with that<br />
<strong>the</strong>n walk away before I show you <strong>the</strong><br />
door.<br />
The End. My life has continued without<br />
you and even better than when you were<br />
in it. SO, <strong>the</strong> jokes on you!<br />
Peace, Love, and Melvin,<br />
