Understand<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
The unofficial yet elegant and simple guide to<br />
gender awareness.<br />
Gender today is def<strong>in</strong>ed as A social cultural<br />
and personal construct. We have<br />
moved away from b<strong>in</strong>ary def<strong>in</strong>itions<br />
and it is not a biological construct; separate<br />
from the sex-based categories of<br />
male/female.<br />
But its not really about gender is it? Its<br />
about how you th<strong>in</strong>k and act. The lack<br />
of understand<strong>in</strong>g that creates bully<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and can be verbal, physical, or via<br />
the Internet. It can severely affect the<br />
victim’s self-image, social <strong>in</strong>teractions,<br />
and often leads to <strong>in</strong>security, lack of<br />
self-esteem, and depression. Who <strong>in</strong><br />
their right m<strong>in</strong>d would be happy to see<br />
others suffer? Probably those that suffer<br />
the most. maybe some <strong>in</strong> the LGBT<br />
community felt it happen to them and<br />
now they do it to others. We have many<br />
bullies all around us. I see it on face<br />
book, constant jabs and creat<strong>in</strong>g social<br />
clicks that exclude rather the <strong>in</strong>clude.<br />
People even use their friends to trick<br />
them <strong>in</strong>to bully<strong>in</strong>g others. Some times<br />
its just <strong>in</strong>tentional. We may be crazy<br />
but really we are all we have, we should<br />
make life better not harder for others.<br />
Optical illusion?<br />
Above, how many legs can you count?<br />
The <strong>in</strong>formation that your eyes feed<br />
back to the bra<strong>in</strong> must to be understood<br />
by the bra<strong>in</strong>,<br />
While the bra<strong>in</strong> is quite clever at<br />
guess<strong>in</strong>g what it should be see<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
sometimes this difference can be quite<br />
astound<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Can you all spot the different animals<br />
that are with the elephant, or even a<br />
part of the elephant?<br />

Roy Smith - Award W<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g Figure Artist-<br />
Partner - Smith/Vargas Gallery<br />
Egon Schiele was the topic of last <strong>week</strong>s<br />
article. He was an emerg<strong>in</strong>g Austrian artist<br />
at the turn of the century <strong>in</strong> early 1900.<br />
Today his work is be<strong>in</strong>g revised and recognized<br />
for its unique expressionism. It is<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g used <strong>in</strong> publications and orig<strong>in</strong>als are<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g collected and exhibited <strong>in</strong> galleries<br />
and museums. Roy Smith who is be<strong>in</strong>g featured<br />
<strong>in</strong> this <strong>week</strong>s article has been <strong>in</strong>spired<br />
by Egon Schiele’s work.<br />
Roy Smith the other half of Smith-Vargas<br />
Gallery is also an accomplished figure<br />
artist. He <strong>in</strong>dicates that much of his <strong>in</strong>spiration<br />
is derived from the work of Schiele.<br />
Roys own work was a w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g entry <strong>in</strong> the<br />
Tom of F<strong>in</strong>land, Erotic Art Contest. <strong>This</strong><br />
year Roy is a featured artist <strong>in</strong> the ART of<br />
MAN. <strong>This</strong> is an annually published work<br />
on art of the male body. Egon Schiele is<br />
a historically featured artist <strong>in</strong> this same<br />
issue.<br />
Roy grew up <strong>in</strong> northern Wiscons<strong>in</strong> and<br />
attended the University of M<strong>in</strong>nesota. He<br />
jo<strong>in</strong>ed the Air Force and was stationed <strong>in</strong><br />
Germany. His <strong>in</strong>terest was not <strong>in</strong> art dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
these early years. It was not until his sister<br />
demonstrated her talent with watercolor<br />
that his <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> draw<strong>in</strong>g and pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g<br />
sparked.<br />
He has lived and worked <strong>in</strong> Los Angeles for<br />
several years with his now deceased partner.<br />
He draws nearly everyday of the <strong>week</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong> his studio and at LACMA (Los Angles<br />
County Museum of Art). Roy’s work with<br />
the human figure is executed <strong>in</strong> a variety of<br />
media, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g, pastel, watercolor, acrylic,<br />
<strong>in</strong>k and pencil. The figures are either<br />
seated or recl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, nude and clothed. The<br />
contours of the figures are expressive and<br />
def<strong>in</strong>itive. Here is where the <strong>in</strong>fluence of<br />
Egon Schiele is noted. As you view his<br />
work, the sense of his knowledge of the human<br />
anatomy is appreciated. He <strong>in</strong>cludes<br />
detailed design <strong>in</strong> textiles and furniture<br />
with <strong>in</strong>k and color, sometimes add<strong>in</strong>g gold<br />
leaf to embellish the details. <strong>This</strong> contrasts<br />
with the more delicate figures to create the<br />
unique<br />
quality of Roy’s work.<br />
You can view and appreciate Roy Smith’s<br />
work as part of the permanent collection of<br />
the Smith/Vargas Gallery on North <strong>Palm</strong><br />
Canyon <strong>in</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />

Bayard Rust<strong>in</strong> was a leader <strong>in</strong> civil rights<br />
movement of the 20th century. In 1947<br />
he planned the first Freedom Ride, which<br />
challenged segregation on <strong>in</strong>terstate bus systems<br />
and <strong>in</strong>spired further such rides <strong>in</strong> the<br />
1960s. Rust<strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ed his organizational<br />
skills with support for nonviolent resistance<br />
and became a key adviser to Mart<strong>in</strong> Luther<br />
K<strong>in</strong>g Jr. He was often arrested for his stances<br />
and spent two years <strong>in</strong> prison for refus<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to register for the draft. Widely known as<br />
gay to his contemporaries, Rust<strong>in</strong> was also<br />
jailed for homosexual activity <strong>in</strong> 1953 and<br />
often attacked as a “pervert” by his political<br />
opponents.<br />

The Anatomy of a DUI<br />
An Overview of Alcohol<br />
By Manuel J. Barba,<br />
DUI Defense Attorney<br />
<strong>in</strong>struct the subject to follow the stimulus<br />
with his eyes only, not mov<strong>in</strong>g his head.<br />
Check<strong>in</strong>g the left eye first, the officer is<br />
tra<strong>in</strong>ed to slowly move the stimulus towards<br />
the right at a speed that would take approximately<br />
four seconds for the stimulus to<br />
reach the edge of the subject’s shoulder. The<br />
officer is tra<strong>in</strong>ed to watch the eye carefully<br />
for any sign of jerk<strong>in</strong>g to beg<strong>in</strong>. When the<br />
officer observes the jerk<strong>in</strong>g beg<strong>in</strong>, he should<br />
stop the movement, verify that the jerk<strong>in</strong>g<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ues, and note the position where the<br />
jerk<strong>in</strong>g began (what degree po<strong>in</strong>t). The<br />
officer will then move the stimulus to the<br />
left (to check subject’s right eye) aga<strong>in</strong> at a<br />
speed that would take approximately four<br />
seconds for the stimulus to reach the edge of<br />
the subject’s shoulder, and aga<strong>in</strong> watch the<br />
eye carefully for any sign of jerk<strong>in</strong>g to beg<strong>in</strong>.<br />
When the officer sees the jerk<strong>in</strong>g beg<strong>in</strong>, the<br />
officer should stop, verify that the jerk<strong>in</strong>g<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ues, and note the position where he<br />
observed the jerk<strong>in</strong>g beg<strong>in</strong> (what degree<br />
po<strong>in</strong>t). <strong>This</strong> procedure is repeated for a total<br />
of two passes for each eye for this part of the<br />
test.<br />
If the po<strong>in</strong>t at which the jerk<strong>in</strong>g beg<strong>in</strong>s is<br />
prior to 45 degrees (between 0 degrees and<br />
the 45 degree po<strong>in</strong>t), then the officer can<br />
score it as a clue. Remember, if the center of<br />
the face is 0 degrees and the tip of the shoulder<br />
is 90 degrees, then 45 degrees will be <strong>in</strong><br />
between those two po<strong>in</strong>ts on an arc (aga<strong>in</strong><br />
th<strong>in</strong>k of a protractor).<br />
If the po<strong>in</strong>t at which the jerk<strong>in</strong>g beg<strong>in</strong>s is<br />
either at 45 degrees or after the 45 degree<br />
po<strong>in</strong>t (between 45 degrees and the 90 degree<br />
In the last article I discussed procedures<br />
relat<strong>in</strong>g to the first two clues of the Horizontal<br />
Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test – Lack of<br />
Smooth Pursuit and Dist<strong>in</strong>ct and Susta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
Nystagmus at Maximum Deviation. In this<br />
article I will cont<strong>in</strong>ue the discussion with<br />
the procedures for the third clue – “Onset of<br />
Nystagmus Prior to 45 Degrees.”<br />
The third clue, “onset of nystagmus prior to<br />
45 degrees, is the po<strong>in</strong>t at which the eye is<br />
first observed to beg<strong>in</strong> jerk<strong>in</strong>g. It is alleged<br />
by the research studies that if the jerk<strong>in</strong>g<br />
beg<strong>in</strong>s prior to 45 degrees it is a clue that the<br />
person has a blood alcohol concentration<br />
of 0.08% or above. It is believed that the<br />
higher the amount of alcohol <strong>in</strong> the subject’s<br />
system, the sooner the nystagmus will be<br />
observable.<br />
Where is 45degrees you might ask? Beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />
with the stimulus properly positioned<br />
at the center of the subject’s nose, this<br />
position is considered 0 degrees. The tip of<br />
the subject’s shoulder would be 90 degrees.<br />
Thus 45 degrees would be <strong>in</strong> between those<br />
po<strong>in</strong>ts (th<strong>in</strong>k of a protractor).<br />
To perform this part of the test (clue #3), the<br />
officer beg<strong>in</strong>s with the stimulus positioned<br />
at the center of the subject’s face with stimulus<br />
positioned 12 to 15 <strong>in</strong>ches away from<br />
the subject’s nose. The officer is tra<strong>in</strong>ed to po<strong>in</strong>t), then the officer should not score it as<br />

a clue as this mean noth<strong>in</strong>g as many people<br />
will exhibit nystagmus at or after the 45<br />
degree po<strong>in</strong>t, even with hav<strong>in</strong>g no alcohol <strong>in</strong><br />
their system. <strong>This</strong> is why when observ<strong>in</strong>g if<br />
a subject has nystagmus at maximum deviation<br />
(clue #2 discussed <strong>in</strong> my last article) it<br />
is essential to make sure that the nystagmus<br />
is dist<strong>in</strong>ct and susta<strong>in</strong>ed for a m<strong>in</strong>imum of<br />
4 seconds. Many alcohol free persons may<br />
have it for 1 or 2 seconds.<br />
Also the tim<strong>in</strong>g is aga<strong>in</strong> important when<br />
conduct<strong>in</strong>g this part of the test. The speed<br />
of mov<strong>in</strong>g the stimulus slowly - the rate<br />
of 4 seconds from center of face to tip of<br />
shoulder - is important because studies have<br />
shown that if the officer moves the stimulus<br />
too fast, the officer will actually <strong>in</strong>duce or<br />
cause the nystagmus to occur. If the officer<br />
causes the nystagmus by mov<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
stimulus too fast, any conclusions from his<br />
observations (that the nystagmus is caused<br />
by alcohol or drugs <strong>in</strong> the body) is compromised.<br />
In addition, it is essential that the officer<br />
perform two complete passes for each eye as<br />
the second pass allows the officer to confirm<br />
what he saw on the first pass to elim<strong>in</strong>ate the<br />
possibility of a false positive.<br />

of the three clues of the Horizontal<br />
Gaze Nystagmus Test. Attorney Manuel J.<br />

THAT IS FUNNY<br />
A psychiatrist was conduct<strong>in</strong>g a group therapy session with three young mothers and their<br />
small children. “You all have obsessions,” he observed. To the first mother, he said, “You<br />
are obsessed with eat<strong>in</strong>g. You’ve even named your daughter Candy.” He turned to the<br />
second mom. “Your obsession is money. Aga<strong>in</strong>, it manifests itself <strong>in</strong> your child’s name,<br />
Penny.” At this po<strong>in</strong>t, the third mother got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered,<br />
“Come on, Dick, let’s go.”<br />
A guy walks <strong>in</strong>to a pub and sees a sign hang<strong>in</strong>g over the bar that reads: CHEESEBURG-<br />
ER: $1.50 CHICKEN SANDWICH: $2.50 HAND JOB: $10.00 He walks up to the bar<br />
and beckons one of the three exceptionally attractive tw<strong>in</strong>ks serv<strong>in</strong>g dr<strong>in</strong>ks. “Can I help<br />
you?” the tw<strong>in</strong>k asks. “I was wonder<strong>in</strong>g,” whispers the man. “Are you the one who gives<br />
the hand jobs?” “Yes,” the tw<strong>in</strong>k purrs. “I am.” The man replies, “Well, wash your hands. I<br />
want a cheeseburger.”<br />
