What Makes It Great? with Rob Kapilow | The Songs of Harold Arlen
Presented by Celebrity Series of Boston at NEC's Jordan Hall
November 3, 2013
In 1938, the year Celebrity Series was founded, over one hundred shows opened on Broadway. Rob Kapilow, with singers Rebecca Luker and Michael Winther, pays tribute to that era by exploring the songs of the Tin Pan Alley master song writer, Harold Arlen, unlocking the secrets of this composer of over 400 songs, many of them, such as Over the Rainbow, Stormy Weather, and I've Got the World on a String, recognized as among the very best in the Great American Songbook.
"An educator, motivational speaker, and game show host, all rolled up in one ... Rob Kapilow's insightful and entertaining programs ... often bring moments of revelation to even the most seasoned aficionados." —The Boston Globe

Shining Armor and Cadence's spell reveals something completely unexpected as it expels Chrysalis and her changelings out of Canterlot: A secret kept from everypony for several years...
Now with a TV Tropes page! Warning: Will Contain spoilers.
...I thought I'd leave a teaser of what's coming up tonight or tomorrow night.
"Announcing Queens Purity and Chrysalis of the Northern Hive!"
Since I'm finally catching up with The Empty Room's excellent spin-off series: The Game of Worlds by the incomparable DualThrone, I went back to re-read a few chapters of TER and thought about writing a bit about how I viewed Nightmares in that story...
But I got caught up in it. It's a damn good story! He said, obviously not biased at all, but then again, any story you write that you can re-read constantly is pretty sweet! I really need to get off my butt and finish rewriting it. Read the original anyway, it's awesome.
Gothic updated!
I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts about it so far, although admittedly it's just starting. I'm not talking about corrections and such (although those are always welcome), I'd like to know your impressions... what you like about it and to know if you're finding it intriguing at all! I mean, it sorta depends on that, so your comments will help me a lot to see if what I'm writing is what I want to convey.
We need Tavi smileys.
Thanks to Google's unreliable chat on the doc, I'm afraid I'll be cutting tonight's session short. I will, however attempt again tomorrow night, if anyone is interested.
If there's an option you guys might know to allow people to chat so that there's more interaction than just me typing away, please let me know.
You... you wonderfull bastard.
Error: " wonder... what was she thinking? She could have saved himself and left us both to die...""
You've fixed it.
Well done.
My mind got screwed
but in a good way.
Man, why is it that every time I interact with you, the words "mindscrew," "mindfuck," and/or "mindcrush" come up?
My my...another awesome story/ Cheers, mate!
Daaammmmnnnnnn good story.
Also being a mod is a surefire way to get featured.
This is solid crystal awesome, with extra d'awww.
Bittersweet stories are always the ones that make me cry Well done.
The feels...
I love Chrysalis fics. Especially backstory ones.
Added to headcanon multiverse.
This...this is awesome. Manly tears hath been shed.
Loved it. Proper comment to come later.
Wow WD, that was really, really good. The depth you obtained with the introduced OCs was brilliant.
Such an amazing story. Thank you.
that pic is so adorable!
D'aww. This is all tobe said on the matter
*Applause* Damn, that's a hell of a backstory for Rarity.
Interesting. I would normally say that it's stupid that Rarity would care so much more about Pupa's safety than her own, but, y'know, Element of Generosity and all that.
Now this is the kind of sad story I like.
Fave'd hard.
That's what this story is.
I would guess in the end Rarity's soul was the larger of the two in "will". Maybe because Rarity was already destined to be the Element of Harmony? Either that or Rarity and Pupa were close enough in personalities that Pupa just merged into Rarity and since Changelings arn't likely to have a true internal identity aside from Pupa feeling of being a Princess that she just became Rarity in a sense.
beautiful and sad
>>718001718001 Did it occur to you that maybe it's because he's an AMAZING writer that he BECAME a mod? His fics were already popular before he became a mod. (Not saying it might be a contributing factor as to how many people read it, but it's not like he was a mod before The Empty Room OR The Sweetie Chronicles. Just sayin.)
Oh wow. So sad, yet so sweet. That backstory...
I am definitely faving this!
Not bad
In my opinion Pupa's mind is still their but Rarity had the stronger will so Pupa's consciousness is buried and dormant.
Awesome fic though! Loved it!
I demand more!
Great story. You gain
this was alomst as sad as my little dashie. I'm still fightin back tears
this was alomst as sad as my little dashie. I'm still fightin back tears
Another fic by Wanderer? Yes, yes, yes and more yes.
so sad... yet happy. please tell me you have some form of ideas in a similar realm to this story.
And not one dislike was given that day...
..wow...just beautiful...
Wow... That was incredible...
Jaw dropping
I need a chapter where chrysalis finds rarity and figures out some of pupa is in her, and realize that was her the whole time. Reminds me of the song ego selfish.so saaaaad
*Manly Tears*
Liked, faved, and amazed!
>>718633718633Nor any other day
I have but one critic to make: Then how did Rarity pass the anti-changeling shield at the beginning of the episode?
It's magic, He don't gotta explain shit. Also it was probably because she was inside the carriage if anything.
God....That's good.
It's magic, He don't gotta explain shit.
WD's fanfics wouldn't be good if he "explained" everything with "It's magic, I don't have to explain shit."
Also it was probably because she was inside the carriage if anything.
So? In the beginning of the fanfic she was inside the palace and she almost got squashed on the walls. What stopped her from being squashed against the walls in the train?
>>718772718772 Also, going by the episode, the shield probably wasn't changeling specific. (edit: or for a sillier answer, maybe Rarity doesn't register as a full changeling since she's a combined soul or something) edit2: >>718804718804 Maybe it was simply a barrier shield (think the shield the CMC ran into around the Library) with designated checkpoints.... dunno where you're getting the deadliness of it to be honest.
(probably edit in actual comments in later)
Hmmmm, them perhaps it's because the cannon world doesn't conform to fanfic's. Deal with it.
If it isn't changeling-specific, why does it repel changelings then? If it is a lifeform-specific shield, why doesn't everyone at Canterlot die?
Your "I'm right, fuck you" tough guy attitude amuses me greatly.
But you know I'm right.
If I knew you were right, I wouldn't pursue the issue further, homeboy.

Instrument Panel Fire
CarComplaints.com Notes: The second generation Durango was introduced in 2004 and instantly came under fire for, well, catching on fire.
From 2004-2006 electrical overloading in the driver's side instrument panel caused numerous reports of interior fires. The interior infernos became so commonplace that Chrysler eventually issued a recall.
The problems didn't stop there, however. Owners of the recalled vehicles complained about being treated unfairly and given take-it-or-leave-it low ball settlement offers. "They offered me $2000 under NADA retail as a settlement," said one owner, "and have been rude and hostile to deal with." Nothing says awesome service like treating your customers rudely after their cars have caught on fire.

YA'AN, China (AP) -- Rescuers and relief teams are struggling to rush supplies into the rural hills of China's Sichuan province after an earthquake left at least 179 people dead and more than 6,700 injured and caused frightened survivors to spend the night in cars, tents and makeshift shelters.
The earthquake Saturday morning triggered landslides that cut off roads and disrupted phone and power connections in mountainous Lushan county, farther south on the same fault line where a devastating quake wreaked widespread damage across the region five years ago.
Hardest hit Saturday were villages farther up the valleys, where farmers grow rice, vegetables and corn on terraced plots. State media reports rescuers hiked into a neighboring county after its roads were cut off, reaching it overnight. In Longmen village, authorities say nearly all the buildings were destroyed in a frightening minute-long shaking by the quake.
The quake -- measured by the earthquake administration at magnitude-7.0 and by the U.S. Geological Survey at 6.6 -- struck shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday, when many people were at home, sleeping or having breakfast.

In early November, I posted a picture of naked Nationals Park, stripped of its Kentucky Blue Grass Turf field for the first time since 2008.
After four years of use, "the grass became compacted and the decision was made to replace it with a fresh new surface of the same type of Kentucky Blue, which will be laid on top of brand new sand," a spokeswoman told me then.
The work was completed around Thanksgiving, as planned, but I forgot to get an image of the finished product. So here it is, courtesy of the Nationals. Makes you long for April, no?
This concludes your mid-December Nationals Park playing surface update.

First recreational marijuana club closed
Category: News | Posted on Wed, January, 2nd 2013 by THCFinder
The nation's first known recreational marijuana club has already closed its doors after a dispute with its landlord.
Paul Lovato, owner of the White Horse Inn in the southern Colorado town of Del Norte, said he wanted to be first in the country to open a marijuana club, according to the Associated Press. He beat another pot club owner in Denver by a few hours.
Lovato had the keys to his the building that would house the White Horse Inn on Monday, but his lease didn't start until Tuesday, reported the Denver Post. The owner said that when his landlord saw the publicity about his club, he canceled the lease before it took effect.
"By opening early I kind of screwed myself out of my building," Lovato said Tuesday.

Sally Bercow signs tabloid deal after reality TV foray
Tuesday 30 August 2011
Sally Bercow, the wife of the Commons Speaker John Bercow, has signed up as a columnist for the Daily Star Sunday following her reality television debut, prompting further howls of contempt from Mr Bercow's parliamentary colleagues.
The 41-year-old, who on Friday became the first contestant to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house, has hit back at rumours of a divorce, insisting her marriage is "as solid as a rock", despite her husband's misgivings over her involvement.
Mrs Bercow, who has three children, said she was keen to take part in other television shows, but admitted her appearance had caused "the biggest fight" of her marriage.

3rd Annual Guns 'N' Hoses Hockey Game Coming to Ford Center October 4th
Cops and firefighters from around the Tri-State will trade in the boxing gloves for hockey skates to raise money for 911 Gives Hope.
Cops and firefighters from around the Tri-State will trade in the boxing gloves for hockey skates to raise money for 911 Gives Hope.
The boxing gloves are coming off, and the hockey gloves are going on as the men and women of 911 Gives Hope hit the ice to raise money for their worthy cause.
Remember the joy of rising early on Christmas morning to find a mound of brightly wrapped packages piled under a twinkling evergreen as a child? Remember the chill of the morning air, the smell of the tree and the feeling that everyone else is moving in slow motion when all you want to do is tear into the presents? What if you had awoken one Christmas morning to IV tubes, needles and the feeling of being away from the comforts of home? Mustering the Christmas spirit would be a challenge… especially for a child.
Stromfest is back...with Pizza King and 103GBF! Last year's event was a such a success that they just had to do it again. Stromfest 2011 is going on now through the end of September, and will raise money for local charities 911 Gives Hope and the Boys & Girls Club of Evansville.
Four years ago when Evansville Police officers and Firefighters decided to put on a charity boxing match to benefit local children, 911 Gives Hope and Guns & Hoses were born. After the first Guns & Hoses, 911 gives hope was able to distribute about $20,000 to local children's charities.
The 4th annual Guns & Hoses charity boxing event is coming up this Saturday night at Roberts Stadium. Area cops and firefighters will go head to head in 15 boxing matches...trying to raise a ton of money for 911 Gives Hope.
I had the chance
It's now time for you to cast your vote as to who you think should be a Ring Girl at this year's Guns & Hoses. Check out all of the pictures at the gallery and then cast your vote!

Step 1
Some of the things you'll need. Get someone to take your waist-to-floor measure.
Step 2
Start with connecting the fabric in length. Be sure to make the stitch from the wrong side (back of the fabric).
Step 3
Now do the zigzag stitch on the edge. This will prevent your fabric from fraying.
Step 4
Make the hem fold. The width of the skirt at this point needs to be the same as the width of your hips so that you'll be able to get the skirt on and off.
Step 5
Measure the elastic band to the size of your waistline. Use a black thread for sewing on a black elastic.
Step 6
This is an important step. When sewing the fabric and elastic band together, be sure to stretch the elastic as you go. The final step is to do the hem (not shown in the picture).
It's gorgeous and I love your outfit!
Lovely! and you are so pretty!
*blush* Thank you for the kind words!
Love this skirt - it's so cute!
Got very confused with the instructions though. S:
Sorry about that. I know it's not the best tutorial because I'm not really familiar with English sewing terminology, but I'm sure you'll figure it out if you have sewing experience. It's not that difficult. :-)

Looks great, thanks for the great idea for coming summer!
You're welcome. :-)
So easy and so cute. I think this summer will be a skirt summer for me.... :)
Thank you! :-)
This is beautiful! Definitely making!! But what would you wear under it? :)
Thanks, Jenny! It's not that transparent, but you can wear a black body or a tunic underneath, for example. :-)
You look gorgeous, I love this outfit! Is the jacket also self made?
Thank you! :-) No, the jacket is old. The name of the brand is Fervente (http://www.ferventeshop.com/).
This looks amazing and seems so simple.
Is the skirt just the one layer using the full 3 metres?
Thanks, Eleanor! It is simple if you're good at sewing. :-) Yes, it's one layer.

Adelaide Strikers 136 for 1 (Ludeman 71*, Klinger 53) beat Sydney Sixers 135 for 6 (Smith 58, Henriques 32, Tait 2-13) by nine wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Related Links
Players/Officials: Michael Klinger | Tim Ludeman
Series/Tournaments: Big Bash League | Australian Domestic Season
Teams: Australia
It was Sixers' third successive loss, and the Strikers' third win of the tournament, as they announced themselves as genuine title contenders.
Sixers' decision to bat first backfired almost immediately when they slumped to 2 for 10. Former Australian spinner Brad Young, aged 39 years and 304 days, was picked for his first domestic fixture in almost a decade and picked up the first wicket of the match. Daniel Smith sliced an attempted drive to Callum Ferguson at point. Steve O'Keefe ran himself out when he took on the arm of Johan Botha at mid-off. It was the first of two direct hit run-outs for Strikers' captain in the field.
In between, Botha managed his bowlers very well. He had a fair arsenal at his disposal. Shaun Tait thundered in and bowled consistently at 145kph, Kane Richardson and Matt Johnston both swung the ball at a lively pace, and his spinners, Young and Cameron Boyce, besides himself, all varied in age and style but bowled with control and guile.
Brad Haddin and Steve Smith came together to try and conquer the Strikers attack and resurrect the innings. They managed just one boundary in seven overs before Smith found the rope twice off Botha and then clubbed 15 runs off Kieron Pollard in the 11th over. Haddin struggled throughout, eventually being dismissed off Johnston for 22 off 30 balls, with just one boundary.
Smith continued on to a well-made half century. But he was run out when he ran from the non-strikers on the quality of Moises Henriques' drive rather than his loud call of "no".
Tait returned to deliver an over of rapid inswinging Yorkers and claimed two wickets. He first destroyed Henriques' stumps and then bruised Jeevan Mendis' toes in trapping the Sri Lankan lbw.
The Sixers' total of 6 for 135 looked well short of a commanding total, and Tim Ludeman and Michael Klinger made light work of it with a smartly built 125-run opening partnership. Neither is renowned as a Twenty20 specialist, but they have been productive throughout the tournament thus far.
Ludeman has been thrust into the opening role in the absence of Phil Hughes, and has thrived. His 71 from 43 balls featured seven fours and three sixes. He struck length balls powerfully over the leg side, possesses the poise and skill to execute the ramp shot with stunning regularity, but also produced some impressive strikes over cover and backward point. Klinger was the silent partner in making 53 from 52. But his great skill is his consistent scoring in all formats. He rarely, if ever, is contained. His dismissal was out of character, a skip-down the-track and miss at O'Keefe, but the job was all but done by then.
Despite Christmas being less than 48 hours away, neither side gets a significant break with the Sixers hosting the Hurricanes on Boxing Day while the Strikers host the Melbourne Stars in a big clash on December 27.

Carol Perdue, nail technician. In her other life: dogsledder.
Maybe there's a bit of an adventurer in every nail technician, but Carol Perdue, a nail technician at Details Nail Salon in Bloomington, Ill., demonstrated more than her fair share of daring when she undertook a 5-day dogsled trip in the frozen reaches of Minnesota. The group of five women drove to Grand Marais, Minn., along the coast of Lake Superior, and then hiked to a fisherman's camp that served as home base.
"The first night we were introduced to a dog and shown how to rig up a team, how to stop, and how to try and control the dogs. I fell off about five times during the trip!" says Perdue. Despite the mishaps, she was quite taken with the beautiful scenery including a frozen lake they traveled across.
"It was the most difficult adventure trip I have ever been on, but also the most rewarding," she says.

Hugo Chávez is in the news again, appropriating and nationalizing more of the oil industry in his country.
That sort of move by him has become so routine that it almost isn't news anymore. But this particular sentence caught my eye and reminded me of what we've seen here as well:
This move forms part of a broader assault against the private sector, which Mr Chávez has increasingly blamed as Venezuela slides into recession.
Vilification is a political tactic in use by a certain type of politician, and anyone paying attention to what has been going on in this country has seen it deployed in earnest against the wealthy and certain industry sectors in the US in the last few months. The health care industry is next. And, as in Venezuela, the government is being offered as the best alternative. Yet watching Venezuela, most understand the ramifications of moves such as Chavez is making on the long-term viability of Venezuela's economy:
But analysts say that by shifting its problems onto its suppliers, PDVSA is storing up even bigger problems for the future. Not only does it lack the ability to operate as efficiently as the service providers, but it sends a grim signal to companies considering investing in Venezuela. Consequently, future oil production is under threat.
While the moves taking place here aren't as drastic as those in Venezuela, they're just as problematic. Government appointed board members on auto company boards and government calling the shots in the financial sector aren't direct takeovers, but they portend a level of government meddling unseen here before. And health care and energy are next.
The key word in the quoted paragraph above is "investing". Investors are very wary about both the auto and financial industries at this point. They're wary of the auto industry because government is essentially throwing the bankruptcy procedures out of the window and those investors which should be guaranteed the first seat at the table for the recovery of their investment are now being vilified as "greedy" and pushed to the side. Any reason they or any other investor should take a monetary stake in either of the government controlled auto companies again? And given the experience with autos, don't you suppose investors in the financial sector are having second thoughts?
Investment is the road to recovery in recessionary times. The moves Hugo Chávez is making in Venezuela are exactly the wrong moves in terms of economic recovery (not to mention being a complete violation of property rights). While not as drastic as Chávez, the moves the Obama administration have made are sending a similar signal to investors. And that doesn't bode well for a swift economic recovery.
Health care and energy are next.
Cheney: Obama Endangers the Nation
Before everyone goes ballistic about this, I just want to remind our friends on the Left what they've been telling us for the past 8 years: "dissent is the highest form of patriotism".
So, how do you like all that "speaking truth to power" stuff now?
Podcast Posting Delay
Yes, we did do a podcast. I have the recording and everything. he reason you don't see it because right after I finished recording it, I had to take Apollo to the emergency vet hospital.
Apollo had an "inverted prepuce", causing Paraphimosis. I'm not going to tell you what that is. Look it up. (Be aware though, that if you look up "Paraphimosis", you'll probably get a NSFW result. Even at Wikipedia.) Apparently, even though he was neutered as a pup, when Contessa goes into heat, he has…urges. Which led to today's complication.
So, I've spent the last 3.5 hours at the vet's. But they got his thingy put back in, and he's resting now. Any by "resting", I mean stoned to the gills on a Valium and opiate cocktail. Here's pics of the little stoner as of about 15 minutes ago.
He's zonked out with a cool compress between his legs, to keep the swelling down.
Anyway, I'll try to get the podcast up tomorrow.
More recent pics of the dogs from last week below the fold, for those who are interested.
BlogTalk Radio – 8pm (EST)
This Is "Rich"
I'm still amazed that many people who put their support behind Obama in the presidential election, are suddenly discovering things about him they don't like.
Really? Now they discover Obama is a class warrior? It comes as no surprise for those of us who took the time to assess where he came from and what (little) he'd done.
Suddenly, the rich are concerned that the guy they backed may not be what they hoped he was (notice that's the correct context in which "hope" should be used when "hope and change" is spoken):
Some of Barack Obama's richest supporters fear they have elected a "class warrior" to the White House, who will turn America's freewheeling capitalism into a more regulated European system
Ya think? What was your first clue – his remarks about "spreading the wealth" to Joe the Plumber or the thousands of other things he said which might imply such a tendency?
And as an aside, America's capitalism is about as "freewheeling" as a modern waterslide is "death defying".
Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute, a free enterprise think tank, said Democrats in Congress were unnerved by the president's latest plan to raise $210 billion over 10 years from multinational corporations.
The money is needed to pay for a national debt that will double over the next five years; and triple over the next 10 years to $17.3 trillion. But the crackdown already faces fierce Democratic resistance.
"These big companies are based in New York Boston, Seattle and Silicon Valley, where Democrats dominate," Mr Edwards said. "Obama's tax plan is already cleaving him from his big corporate supporters," he said.
The good news in this, of course, is that Congress has to pass the legislation that enables this, and per Edwards, they're getting cold feet. The reason is also obvious – any "cleaving" of Obama from "big corporate sponsors" also means the rest of the Democrats suffer the same fate.
The level of taxation necessary to pay for the profligate spending now taking place will have to be massive as anyone with a 5th grade education understands. But the Dems also understand that any taxation that takes place must be other than income taxes because it is important to maintain the mirage that "95% of all Americans" are getting tax cuts. That leaves "the rich", corporations and smoke and mirrors.
The rich have been identified ($250k or more), corporations are on the block with much higher taxation in the offing. So the investor class and the engine of the economy are under assault. The smoke and mirrors show? Wait until health care and cap and tax trade hit. 100% of Americans will be paying large sums for both.
But back to the point – the deeper we get into the Obama administration, the more we come to understand how gullible a good portion of the American public appears to be. There is a certain level of satisfaction with the buyer's remorse being seen among many of his supporters as they see what their vote has actually bought. I sure hope they don't shop for other important items as badly as they apparently shop for presidents.
"Star Trek" – My Review ***With Spoilers***
The short review is simple. If you are really devoted to the current Star Trek canon, you won't like it. For everyone else, you'll probably like this movie. Taken on it's own, it is a good movie, albeit with a few minor problem here and there. And most people won't even notice the problems.
The acting is very good. Chris Pine's performance as the young Jim Kirk is especially well done. When the guy is on the screen, you just have to look at him. And he has the character of the young Kirk down pat: Brash, womanizing, risk-taking, and self-confident. Karl Urban's Dr. McCoy is also well played, and we even got an "I'm a doctor, not a physicist!" out of him. Zachary Quinto expresses the conflict between emotions and logic that plagues his character with surprising subtlety. Zoe Saldana's Uhura is, for practically the first time in 40 years, an interesting character, with a story and a life.
The dialogue is sharper and wittier than we're used to seeing in a Star Trek movie, and the wit pops up in unexpected places, like Capt. Pike's first encounter with Nero, the Romulan villain of the piece: "I'm Captain Christopher Pike, of the Federation starship Enterprise." "Hi, Christopher, I'm Nero." The back-and-forth banter between the Spock and McCoy characters that was so much a part of the original series is presented well in the new movie.
The action in the film is practically non-stop, with hardly any time to catch your breath. So, the film is tightly scripted, which makes the 2.5 hour running time seem like much less.
Based on the above, I rate the movie very highly.
I did mention some problems though, and I'd like to address them. I can't do that, though, without giving away some spoilers.
Do not read any more, unless you're willing to encounter serious spoilers.
This is your last warning.
Another Saturday Bush-era Backpeddle
Another "horrible Bush-era rule", uh, er, kept:
The Obama administration on Friday let stand a Bush-era regulation that limits protection of the polar bear from global warming, saying that a law protecting endangered species shouldn't be used to take on the much broader issue of climate change.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that he will not rescind the Bush rule, although Congress gave him authority to do so. The bear was declared threatened under the Endangered Species Act a little over a year ago, because global warming is harming its habitat.
So why is this interesting (and important)?
The US Environmental Protection Agency designated polar bears an endangered species last year, because their habitats were disappearing as ice-caps melted.
Environmentalists seized on the ruling, arguing that endangered species were entitled to heightened protection under US law and that the government was therefore obliged to crack down on the carbon emissions causing global warming.
The Endangered Species Act bars federal agencies from "taking actions that are likely to jeopardise the species or adversely modify its critical habitat", and lays down civil and criminal penalties for people that kill or injure designated animals.
But the Bush administration passed a rule exempting "activities outside the bear's range, such as emission of greenhouse gases" from prohibition.
Which, apparently, the Obama administration has found to be the proper rule:
It is this rule that the Obama administration has decided to let stand.
Because, you see:
"The Endangered Species Act is not the proper mechanism for controlling our nation's carbon emissions," Mr Salazar said.
"Instead, we need a comprehensive energy and climate strategy that curbs climate change and its impacts."
While I'm not so sure about Sec. Salazar's last point, I agree whole-heartedly with his first.
The usual suspects, of course, are livid – but then they spend most of their life livid.
Military Commissions Again In Saturday News
Last Saturday, May 2nd, we were reading about the possibility that the Obama administration might revive the military commissions that candidate Obama had so reviled.
Today, Saturday May 9th, we again see more on the subject. Could the administration be any more obvious in their attempts to "hide" this story?
The Obama administration is preparing to revive the system of military commissions established at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under new rules that would offer terrorism suspects greater legal protections, government officials said.
The rules would block the use of evidence obtained from coercive interrogations, tighten the admissibility of hearsay testimony and allow detainees greater freedom to choose their attorneys, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
So apparently it really wasn't the commissions themselves, but how they were run. Of course they were run by rules that Congress had put in place. Yeah, you can figure out the rest.
And the only change I can see is the elimination of some evidence, tightning of the rules on other evidence and the ability to choose their attorney (to a point).
Yet, in the big scheme of things, it ensures that secret testimony, exposure of which so concerned the previous administration, will remain secret. Yes, that's a good thing.
But, as the Obama administration begins to reinvent the wheel (even though it will claim that these military commissions aren't the same as the previous military commissions – a bit like saying a Ford isn't a Chevy. They're still both cars) I keep remembering a very sure candidate proclaiming:
"By any measure, our system of trying detainees has been an enormous failure."
The Obama administration is seeking a 90 day extension on the 120 day extension previously imposed on military commissions. They would be moved to American soil (given the ruling by SCOTUS that doesn't mean as much as it would have previously). But by all appearances, they will be pretty much the very same thing that candidate Obama said was unacceptable and an "enormous failure". In the end, it appears, it has just been justice delayed (another reason he was against them).
Of course the real critics of such commissions (those whose opposition wasn't strictly political in nature) are not happy:
"This is an extraordinary development, and it's going to tarnish the image of American justice again," said Tom Parker, a counterterrorism specialist at Amnesty International.
Yeah, well he won you know Tom, and with that, he reserves the right to throw issues under the bus if necssary, especially when it becomes clear that he had no idea about the subject he was condemning. And as an aside – I suspect that the slight differences in the commissions listed above will be enough for the fevered left to roll over and accept these military commissions as "OK".
About Your Illegal Yard Sale
One of the things I try to consistently feature here at QandO is the depth of intrusion of the federal government into our daily lives. Talk about "mission creep". There's little that we do any more that doesn't seem to involve the government looking over our shoulder and I, frankly, don't welcome that sort of monitoring or intrusion.
The latest? The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a 28 page pamphlet which outlines the result of a recent law (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) and its impact.
So if you're planning on selling your kids old books (or anything else that a kid under 12 might use) and they haven't been "tested" first, you're liable to a $100,000 fine. Now I know you're reading this and saying, "no way. Our government would be that intrusive".
I guess the best way to counter that is with the CPSC's own words:
This handbook will help sellers of used products identify types of potentially hazardous products that could harm children or others. CPSC's laws and regulations apply to anyone who sells or distributes consumer products. This includes thrift stores, consignment stores, charities, and individuals holding yard sales and flea markets.
The next line of defense for those who support this level of intrusion, once that level of intrusion has been exposed in the government's own words, is "well, how would they enforce it"?
It's not a bad argument (the answer is selectively), but it misses the real point.
Obviously, it's unlikely the CPSA goons are going to bust up your yard sale. But putting out a detailed booklet that reserves the right to do so is hardly encouraging about where the implementation of this legislation is heading.
It is about precedent. And, it's about acceptance. When both are established, it doesn't require much in the way of the imagination to realize that like any entity which seeks to increase its power, government will soon attempt to stretch the envelope just a little further (further precedent/acceptance).
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Car Czar Thuggery (Updated)
Steven Rattner, the Obama administration's "Car Czar," was recently accused of acting, well, rather czar-ishly by White & Case attorney Tom Lauria. Those accusations were later corroborated by others privy to the meetings. Now comes a rather disturbing (and presently unsubstantiated) account of exactly what was said1:
Confronting the head of a non-TARP fund holding Chrysler debt and unwilling to release it for any sum less than that to which it was legally entitled without compelling cause, this country's "Car Czar" berated the manager of said fund with an outburst of prose substantially resembling this:
Who the f*** do you think you're dealing with? We'll have the IRS audit your fund. Every one of your employees. Your investors. Then we will have the Securities and Exchange Commission rip through your books looking for anything and everything and nothing we find to destroy you with.
Faced with these sorts of threats, in this environment, with valued employees in the crosshairs and AIG a fresh, open wound upon the market, the fund folded.
Keep in mind that the non-TARP creditors in the bankruptcy have been forced to lump their fates in with the TARP recipients (emphasis added):
As of last night's deadline, we were part of a group of approximately 20 relatively small organizations; we represent many of the country's teachers unions, major pension and retirement plans and school endowments who have invested through us in senior secured loans to Chrysler. Combined, these loans total about $1 billion. None of us have taken a dime in TARP money.
As much as anyone, we want to see Chrysler emerge from its current situation as a viable American company, and we are committed to doing what we can to help. Indeed, we have made significant concessions toward this end — although we have been systematically precluded from engaging in direct discussions or negotiations with the government; instead, we have been forced to communicate through an obviously conflicted intermediary: a group of banks that have received billions of TARP funds.
Rattner's alleged threats should give everyone some pause. Is it really the case that private companies will be forced to do the President's bidding or face the full brunt of the state's police power? Because that's exactly what's being alleged. I share the concern of the reporter of Rattner's comments in that I certainly hope the accusations are inaccurate/misstated/outrageously untrue.
It is my deepest wish at this point that there is nothing about this latest bit of Car Czar thuggery even remotely based in fact- as this would mean that this country has truly and unarguably descended into fascism.
I use this term, "fascism," quite deliberately. I also use it well aware that many will consider it needlessly inflammatory. Be this as it may, I submit there is simply no other term that properly describes the style and tenor of government emerging both in public and behind once closed doors.
The corporatist model — i.e. where unelected government officials and industry "leaders" fashion economic policy for the benefit of the state as whole, and in complete disregard of, and often quite hostile to, individual liberty — has never died, and is used more often than you might think (e.g. in the creation of energy policy, environmental policy, financial market rules, etc.), albeit in less radical form. That does not mean that Jews or any other disfavored groups will be marched off to concentration camps (opponents of gay marriage not named "Barack" can be forgiven for thinking otherwise). But it does mean that the preconditions necessary to ease the way for totalitarian control are already present. If enough people buy the "myth" presented by those in charge, then more and more power will eventually be ceded to a central authority, who will then have the ability to steamroll any opponents to the collective will. The accusations presented above suggest that Rattner (and one has to presume Pres. Obama), believes that enough Americans have bought the myth as to allow for such bullying. If so, that is a truly disturbing thought to contemplate.
UPDATE: In an article at the WSJ essentially chiding the MSM for failing to dig into this story, Tom Blumer notes the following (my emphasis):
The New York Times, in a report by Michael J. de la Merced and Jonathan D. Glater, does note the threats and Gonzales's ruling, and has the following at its second-last paragraph.
When the debtholders, calling themselves the Committee of Non-TARP Lenders, made their first public statement last Thursday, they said their group consisted of about 20 investment firms holding about $1 billion. According to their motion to file under seal, the group now claims about $300 million in holdings.
de la Merced and Glater were apparently not curious about the possible reasons why the amount involved, and presumably the number of holders, is significantly lower than it was just a few days ago.
Maybe it's because the threats are real, guys.

Suzuki rolls out Swift TV campaign
Suzuki is releasing a brand campaign for its Swift range of cars including a TV spot that breaks on Monday.
The new TV spot, which was created by The Red Brick Road, is called "meant to be" and will first air on 28 July.
It shows a man going about his day and continually missing the improbable number of Suzuki Swifts that cross his path. Eventually he comes face-to-face with one of the cars and likes what he sees.
The ad ends with the actor Stephen Mangan delivering the line: "The Suzuki Swift. You really must see one."
The ad was written by Matt Davis, art directed by Richard Megson and Tom Skinner, and directed by Traktor through Partizan. The7stars handled the media planning and buying.
The ad will be backed by idents for its sponsorship of the ITV shows All Star Mr & Mrs and Tipping Point: Lucky Stars, outdoor, digital and press spots as well as social media and experiential executions.
Matt Davis, the creative director at The Red Brick Road, said: "We wanted to create a truly compelling narrative that was the polar opposite to other conventional car TV ads.
The car is the star throughout in a surprising way and with a recognisable upbeat music track to lift the ad, we hope it will have great standout."

Like every other fanboy I was eagerly waiting for the newest Android release, code named "Lollipop", to become available for my phone. Finally the OTA update arrived yesterday. So far I couldn't spot any major improvements except for a few nice animations and the new material design. But at least everything is still running smooth.
However there is one sore spot that makes me regret updating: the new lock screen.
The lock screen serves threw purposes:
Unfortunately Google crippled the lock screen usefulness a lot in Lollipop.
Microsoft released their phone sounds on soundcloud.
This is the third and final part of the three part series describing my automatic paper backup system. After the scanner is working and we have a bunch of scripts for scanning and uploading, all that is missing is a nice user interface. That's what this part is about.
This is the second part of a three part series describing my automatic paper backup system. In this part I explain the different automation scripts used to create a searchable PDF from a scan and upload it to the backup locations.
The setup is multi user capable. Eg. for my setup, files will be stored in either Kaddi's or my home directory on the NAS and Google Drive.
I wrote about my Digital Backups before. But this talk by Bdale Garbee raises some good points: what happens when your house burns down? Can you prove you just had bought this Van Gogh right before the incident? What papers would your insurance need? What exactly is insured? And who actually is your insurance? Chances are that the answers to all these questions just have been burned.
So better back up that stuff. Unfortunately a lot of important data still arrives via snail mail on paper. I wanted a simple solution to archive any paper that arrives in a simple way. So I built one.
The whole system consists of a document scanner attached to a Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen and some custom software.
This is the first post of a three part series describing how I build the whole system. Part one explains the basic setup of the Raspberry, the scanner and the SANE scanner software.
Everybody knows you should do backups. Over the years I developed a system that hopefully keeps my digital data secure against loss. I followed two principles during setup:
The whole thing roughly looks like this:
All of this is in permanent flux. Paper backup is coming soon (blog post in preparation) and will probably result in the integration of Google Drive somewhere in the grand scheme of things.
Some more details after the jump. I'm also interested in your strategies. What do you back up and where?

Clint Dempsey gets his shot today vs. Manchester United
Jan 20, 2013, 7:47 AM EST
Weather is making news across England, but Manchester United match today against Clint Dempsey and Spurs is still "on" at the moment.
Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. ET on Fox Soccer Channel.
The trouble maker is a massive weather system, with lots of snow and frigid temperatures, that is hampering everything from local to national to international travel. And potentially hampering the soccer, too.
All scheduled Premiership matches went on Saturday, as most of the grounds at the moneyed clubs have underground heating systems that help keep the fields playable. Not so in the lower leagues, however; 6 of 12 matches were postponed yesterday in England's League One (the country's third tier.)
(That's Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, enjoying a Friday kick-around in the snow during Gunners' training just north of London.)
Transport For London (TFL) fed to Twitter this morning: "At present all London football matches are going ahead. Chelsea v Arsenal and Tottenham v Man U. Allow extra time to travel due to weather."
Back in September, remember, Dempsey's first goal for Spurs helped make history, sa Tottenham took all three points out of Old Trafford for the first time since 1989.
Even playing at home, Tottenham has its work cut out; first-place Manchester United comes into White Hart Lane unbeaten in their last 10 league contest (a 9-0-1 mark in that stretch).

December surcharges,
NEW YORK ATI Allegheny Ludlum Corp. is lowering its stainless surcharges for December, bringing some grades to their lowest levels so far this year on the back of falling nickel prices.
The company, a division of Pittsburgh-based Allegheny Technologies Inc., set its surcharges for Type 304 at 72.99 cents per pound, down 7.9 percent from 79.28 cents in November; Type 201 at 48.56 cents, down 4.7 percent from 50.97 cents; and Type 316 at $1.0307, down 7.7 percent from $1.1163 per pound. Bucking the trend was Type 430, which contains no nickel, which is being increased 9.1 percent to 21.69 cents per pound from 19.88 cents this month.
The companys previous 2012 low for 304 and 316 material, the two most widely bought stainless grades, came in September at 73.62 cents and $1.0396 per pound, respectively.
Distributors recently expressed caution on buying due to the expected fall in surcharges (amm.com, Nov. 2).
