⬅ Return to Police Documents on License Plate Scanners Reveal Mass Tracking
Jul 17th, 2013 at 10:56am
A license often becomes an arbitrary control by government that makes a crime out of what ordinarily would not be a crime. It turns a right into a privilege.
Jul 17th, 2013 at 10:58am
The excuse goes like this... "no eyeballs saw the plates, so WE are not violating the citizens privacy! ...computers are simply recording and indexing in case we ever get suspicious, they we'll get a warrant. ...err, well we already have a blanket warrant for anything we think is suspicious, but believe us, WE would never flaunt that power! ...err, the way the IRS and Justice Departments have recently done, through low level agents, by mistake, just assuming the upper levels approved, but of course we NEVER would approve of anything, unless it was suspicious, or we thought it was suspicious, so don't waste our time questioning our authority, because we've thought this trough and we should be able to get away with it! ...err, just be quite, please."

There is no reason to have this sort of pervasive surveillance of innocent people and I see it as a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
But, what else is new...
Jul 17th, 2013 at 1:04pm
Obviously giving these guys too much money, time to trim budgets.
Jul 17th, 2013 at 1:13pm
Well you know, back in the 90's when they started registering sex offenders and how everyone thought that was so wonderful ? Apparently what happens is...see...if you give an inch, they take a mile. They start out with people you don'[t like then just move on to everyone else. And the people that know about such things told you then registering sex offenders or anyone else would do nothing to keep you safer but you bit on it anyway because...it's sex offenders, right ? Who cares about sex offenders. Well, now it's your ass in the sling. Every man woman and child. Not looking like such a bright idea now is it ? Hmmm....
Jul 17th, 2013 at 1:20pm
This should NOT be tolerated. I assure you that the data will be used to your detriment, but if you tried to obtain data to prove innocence, you will get blank stares.
Jul 17th, 2013 at 1:28pm
Hmm. Interesting, I have a sister who is younger than I that dates a cop (DHS) and couldn't figure out why I kept getting pulled over. Everywhere I go. She and I do not get along, I have tried to but it never works. I understand that her cop boyfriend is married. Go figure.
Jul 17th, 2013 at 2:20pm
Congratulations ACLU, you wanted and voted for a big "caring" government and this is what you get. Don't act so surprised now.
Jul 17th, 2013 at 3:30pm
That's why I live in Canada. We don't have money for surveillance, we give it all to Quebec and to our native Indians so they don' t have to work. Something similar to what you Americans do with your Negroes.
Nice world we have now eh? We owe it all to fifty years of Liberal left takeover of everything .... it all happened while WE were at work.

About time.
What this country needs is a government issued ID card, to be used for all transactions such as: Voting, applying for food stamps, Well fare, income tax, etc. etc. etc.
Not saying that the above will be eliminated, but replication would be.
The government is waiting $Billions of $$$$ every year, with fraud
Privacy ????

Fishkill, NY is an awesome historical town in the Hudson Valley that reads the Declaration of Independence on the Steps of the Village Hall every July 4th for the last 113 years. They also retain license plate reads for 90 days. SIGH. Seems very contradictory to me.

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law
what does soldier,

what does in any house,
what does without consent,
what does owner,
what does in time of war,
what does in a manner prescribed by law mean?
why doesn't it just say
"we can do whatever we want, kiss my a$%?"
Jul 17th, 2013 at 8:29pm
What's missing from this article is what citizens can do about this. Can you buy license plate covers that work on cameras? Is that legal in all states? Lets have some action.
Jul 17th, 2013 at 8:43pm
ACLU - I hold you as one of the responsible parties for this 'Big-Brother' outrage! Since the ACLU's founding, you have systematically set out to undermine the US Constitution and our Constitutional Republic.
After almost 100 years - it looks like you have finally won us a police state.

Now wait just a minute. If we the people make up the government and are the government and they are doing this to us then we have just as much of a right to track them and have databases of our own. Perhaps even stick a GPS unit on each and every police car in our respective cities or towns or outlying areas. Maybe we even have the right to put radio frequency id's on their person so we can monitor what they buy or sell? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.... right? Look, whatever they do sets precedence that allows us to do the same. The only difference is that if we out here want to do it we have to pay for the devices and the tracking software. Well wait, we pay for theirs too? Hmmmm...
Jul 17th, 2013 at 9:56pm
In England they have these cameras on the road with a cop waiting up the street, it scans your license and if you registration is late, have unpaid tickets, insurence lapped they will pull you over. Won't be long before this system gets abused like how the patriot act has become an excuse to violtate privacy of ordinary Americans. It is evil and portrayed it being for the of the country when in reality it is another way to enslave us.
Jul 17th, 2013 at 10:42pm
Florida does more than this. A few years ago on the toll roads, they installed readers every few miles that read the toll both transponders. So as you go along the expressways and toll roads, the system knows where you are, and could also tell the cops how fast you are going (how long does it take to get from one to the other.) They have not issues tickets for this, but when this was installed there was an equipment shack put in at a state trooper station on the Suncoast Parkway, north of Tampa. It's very possible and likely that they system can tell them where people are speeding at, so they know where to set up speed traps.

As Orwell wrote, "Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed -- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull."
Jul 17th, 2013 at 11:41pm
Well ACLU, are you going to do anything or just sit back, and pick and choose your fights as you see fit? You are liberal after all. Will you fight for all of us or those who donate?
Jul 18th, 2013 at 12:17am
Once it starts catching police officers in their personal vehicles on their way to the strip clubs and golf courses on days they called out sick, or to the houses of the people they have having an affair with, and it's all released as public info, then maybe they will give a $***

Your tax dollars are watching you.
Jul 18th, 2013 at 1:39am
I live near Lexington, KY which recently started a program for the "Parking Police" to scan all the license tags of the parked cars to search for "Parking Offenders". I seem to recall a few years ago getting new eyeglasses which included some "shades" that clipped onto the glasses. These 'shades' turned out to be polarized lenses and when I stopped at my favorite gas station, I could NOT read the gas pumps with the 'shades' clipped on. Only if I tilted my head about 90 degrees to the side could I actually read what was on the gas pumps. NEW THOUGHT, Could there be a double layer of "Polarized" license plate covers that are cross polarized that would block any camera from viewing from a side angle but might be viewed if seen at a straight-on view. If it can be made so that a computer camera cannot see the license tag from any angle (other than straight-on), what cannot be seen therefore becomes invisible. Now I am inviting comments to see if we can find a way to BLIND the all-seeing EYE of the Big Brother.
Jul 18th, 2013 at 2:50am
I am so appreciative that the ACLU has taken up this issue. I have been wondering lately at the amazing number of cameras that have sprung up everywhere, seemingly overnight. They are on the interstate highways, overpasses, intersections and even in seemingly random locations. This must be very expensive to deploy, maintain and monitor, not to mention how the data will be used, and yet there seems to have been no public dialog about it whatsoever. Thank you ACLU.

There is a glaring hole in this report that affects millions of people a year...the Texas toll road system. Aside from the tag readers, there are also license plate readers to support their pay by mail feature. Who knows where that database gets shared.
Jul 18th, 2013 at 9:06am
What happened to probable cause?
Jul 18th, 2013 at 9:10am
Face it people.The days of old are gone.So are most all of your rights.The constitution means what they say it means.Local police make their own laws as they go...blah blah blah.The problem is......it is too late to do anything about it.Welcome to the beginnings of the new world order.There is NOTHING you can do.Accept it,live with it.Harsh words for sure....but true.
Jul 18th, 2013 at 9:40am
The repossession industry has embraced this technology as well.
Jul 18th, 2013 at 10:32am
They push and push until everyone just gives their rights up. It seems to already be working.. Note the comment:
"There is no reason to have this sort of pervasive surveillance of i nnocent people and I see it as a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
But, what else is new... "
The last line of this comment is exactly proof that the gov't is succeeding in influencing the general population of the US into thinking this is okay to do. The line I'm referring to is the 'But, what else is new'. This needs to stop, and cuts need to be done since our tax money is going to the government so in-turn they can track us.
Jul 18th, 2013 at 1:01pm
I feel that I've been included in the license plate tracking.June of 1998,Ihad taken a student home at the quest of his mother.they lived in the projects.On my way back to work,in my rush Idrove on a street going thr wrong way for half a block.When I realized what I had done I corrected my mistake.Seconds later I saw the police following me back to work.Never did the stop me! They have been coming to my home undercover claim the're selling products,home improvements,asking surveying questions and in a meat truck several times.When driving in other counties,they also follow me.What can be done about this?
Jul 18th, 2013 at 7:49pm
I can't believe it's taken the ACLU this long to jump on this topic. I went to visit Mount Rushmore two summers ago and had my plate scanned as I entered the parking area. At the toll booth, after paying, I was given back a receipt with all my personnnel information printed on it. I asked the booth attendent how he got this info and he responed "by a licence plate scanner". The parking lot is run by a private contractor so it's not just the government scanning plates. By the way, the attendent told me my plate had been scanned four times that day already. What an amazing technology!
Jul 19th, 2013 at 5:07am
This is much ado about nothing. These scanners read thousands of plates per day. Most departments mount them on the cruisers of their top traffic officers. As the article stated they flag certain offender plates (amber alerts/warrants/suspensions). The flagged plates cause the computer to beep. The officer clicks the icon to see the information regarding that plate. The flagged plate is actually the only ones that officer's computer shows. The record of all plates scanned may be somewhere in the cruiser's computer, but police departments do not have the NSA's budget. No one is looking at this information. It does not go to a central database. They are not being intexed. To the comment about driving being a right, courts have held that driving is a privilege not a right.
Jul 19th, 2013 at 12:04pm
Plates, and drivers licenses too, are nothing more than badges of our slavery. The day will come when we dispense with the damn things.
By the way, the "plate data retention period" is always indefinite, no matter what the statute says. It's naive to think otherwise, as there is never any penalty for violating such statutes. The laws are for the peons, not the ruling class.
Jul 19th, 2013 at 12:44pm
I appreciate all the hand-wringing and concern, and I certainly agree that this is a cause for concern - not something our founding fathers anticipated.
At the same time, I worked for NSA with a very high security clearance myself for several years. I saw things done that were legally questionable even under older laws. I contemplated this very issue -- inside a highly classified facility -- before most of the readers of this site were even born, and before high technology things like digital wristwatches and hand calculators.
While I applaud the noble effort for freedom, you ain't gonna stop it. No way in hell. The formula is (massive government budget) + (some real justification for some of it) + (universal knowledge of just about everything through computers) + (no way in hell you will ever get in to a classified facility to see what is going on before they hit the Delete button, anyway).
Besides, Wal-Mart and other big companies are already tracking you like lab rats, anyway, so what are you worried about? Anyone who wants to can track all your movements right now, on a budget that even an ordinary citizen can afford.
Privacy is a myth in the age of high tech. The only reason you have any privacy at all is because your life is simply too boring for anybody to bother to watch you.
Jul 25th, 2013 at 12:12pm
First it was the cameras on the traffic signals, then it was the drones, the NSA and the license plate readers. This surveillance sure feels like a precursor to complete government control. But what do I know? I keep hearing the echo of some author droning on and on about something that happened in 1984. And then they came for me.
Aug 14th, 2013 at 8:49pm
The guy that says they aren't doing anything with the information is DEAD wrong. Better clean out your ears. I can tell you CHP is tracking you and all your movements. Please say how crazy I am. What I do know is this! We have two homes, one in CA and one in AZ. One of our vehicles is lic in Az. We go back and forth. I got a letter in the mail that my Az lic plate had " too many hits." Im required to have a CA drivers lic due to my job. My wife has Az lic, insurance ,etc. I was told I'm not allowed to drive that vehicle when it's in CA. Also they require I register anything I own to CA because I'm employed in the state. More to the story but that is a very shortened version. Guess what? 1984 is here...

or you can simply remove your plates. Even though "Driving a Motor Vehicle" is in fact a privilege, you also have the fundamental Right to travel freely in your own automobile on any public roadway providing you are not doing it for commerce - which can, and is regulated by States. Driving by legal definition is operating a vehicle for profit, and motor vehicle, by legal term is a truck, bus, auto, etc, used in the commission of commerce. Learn the law, use United States Code for true legal definitions (not Websters or wikipedia). Never mis-state the law. It is not a constitutional right to travel freely on any public road in any automobile, it is however a fundamental right, which is an absolute right. No State, County, or City has any authority whatsoever to prohibit, permit, deny, restrict, or force any American citizen to license, register, insure, any automobile for use on any public road. As long as you are "travelling" to the store in your "personal automobile" and Not "Driving" in your "Motor Vehicle". Learn your Rights people. Learn the Law, google Right to travel, just stick some souvenier store plates on your car, if & when you get pulled over speak the word of law, have downloaded copies of caselaw in your possession.
Sep 27th, 2013 at 1:49pm
They take your freedom and sell it back to you in the form of licenses and permits.
Jan 1st, 2014 at 6:34pm
When you say you have no problem with using them for finding people with warrants on them you aren't thinking far enough. You have already accepted the validity of forcing people to run around yelling out loud who they are. Think harder on this. It's forced self incrimination. It's the same as a law that says if you committed a crime you have to turn yourself in and if you don't you have committed the crime of avoiding/hampering justice. Liberties err on the side of everybody can do whatever they want. One does not uphold Liberty by erring on the side of "I guess being forced to do something isn't that bad". I continue to be unimpressed with the ACLU.
Feb 12th, 2014 at 7:25pm
Isn't it against our constitutional rights "right to privacy" to have our identity look at unless we are committing a crime? I don't think automatic reader's should be allowed, I also believe the Police need to give a reason every time a plate is ran. Before it will allow them get the our information e.g. was speeding "A Crime" so its on record why they ran it.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party.

staining ipe today -- not going well!
Hi everyone -- after a year of research and tons of help from this forum, my husband and I are now staining our ipe porch. We had several stains and water marks, and opted to sand the entire porch to clean it up prior to staining. I told him that you guys suggested 50 or 60 grit, he opted to use 100 grit. I don't think the sanding did anything! We still have water marks, and rough spots. Should we resand with a lower grit or do we need to use a chemical prep? Also, he is concerned that we will get water marks again, even after staining. Is that possible, or will the stain prevent that?
Thanks so much!
ouch - sorry to hear that. the pros on this board are very consistent with their recommendation of sanding grit. Ipe is so darn hard 100 grit does not do much. The larger machine will work, but you need the larger grit. Personally I would try a small area first before stripping the stain. What type of stain did you use?
YEP....100-grit is barely gonna touch hard stuff like IPE!
Even on softer woods like Redwood (MY deck!), all that 100-grit does is POLISH the wood....which LESSENS the amount of stain that can absorb!
For IPE, 80-grit max...preferably 60-grit.
Water-marks...almost impossible to avoid entirely! To some degree, they just have to be lived with.
This IS wood outside ya know!
No matter HOW good the prep and stain, decks and stains WEAR, and sometimes not the way we'd like-'em to!

Hip-Hop 2012: Inside Lamar's Black Hippy Crew
Ab-Soul (pictured above)
Often sporting shades because the Stevens-Johnson syndrome he contracted as a kid made his eyes sensitive to light and turned his lips dark, this Carson native honed his spazzy soliloquies with the first two instalments of his planned four-part Longterm mixtape set. Fuzzy-wigged Ab-Soul, whom Lamar calls "a pure genius in creating words," dropped his second proper LP on T.D.E. this year. Critically lauded, Control System is the best work of the improving MC and sometime singer's burgeoning career. The other three Hippies hopped on the remix to Control's lead single, "Black Lip Bastard."
Jay Rock
The oldest Hippy at age 26, the Watts-raised Jay Rock is cut from that classic West coast gangster mould. His gruff voice recalls Xzibit, and his chiselled yet wise approach is a throwback to artists like Kam and MC Eiht. Jay made a street smash with 2011's Follow Me Home; his independent debut features major hitters Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Chris Brown and the Hippies. Lamar provides a smooth lowrider-worthy hook to Jay Rock's rugged standout "Code Red."
Schoolboy Q
Born in Germany but raised in L.A., Schoolboy Q fell into a life of drug dealing and gangbanging. No wonder his music — boozy and introspective — is therapy. Building on 2011's Setbacks, Q made a memorable cameo on A$AP Rocky's LiveLoveA$ap mixtape and dropped the head-turning Habits & Contradictions at the top of this year. In terms of technical prowess, Q is the one who can give Kendrick a run for his notepad. "Q is street with a little bit more edge of recklessness," Lamar says. He has followed Lamar to Interscope and is working on what will be the second Black Hippy project on a major label.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.
For now, please send any and all feedback to [email protected].

Install Mac OS 10.9.1 on a new HD?
Installing Mac OS X 10.9.1 in a MacBook Pro 15" A1226 on a 320 GB 5400 RPM SATA Hard Drive (New). OS already purchased, how to install Mac OS 10.9.1 Mavericks on a new HD. This OS is only sold as an App download from Apple's App Store.
Edited by: Walter Galan ( ) , pcbdsi ( )
After installing the new HD: First, you have to FORMAT the new HD, or it will never be seen as a TARGET for the OS to be installed on. Second, you have to install OS 10.6 or higher to be able to installed the FREE OS 10.9 (now 10.9.2). Last, you RESTORE from your Time Machine backup external HD. [It MAY be possible, after formatting the new HD, to just RESTORE from the Time Machine backup, but I didn't do that.]
MacHale Enterprise
Accepted Answer
Use your original system installation DVD and format then install the system that came with it. Now you can access the Apps Store and download and install 10.9.2.
Otherwise you're going to need another Mac to create a 8 GB Flash drive installation, this is somewhat complicated.
I would have thought that Apple would have a more simple solution to install the already "purchased" (free) update to OS 10.9.1 Mavericks on any new computer, new HD, or even an older one.
They do. Buy a new machine or support their repair places. Simple. The problem is getting a 10.9 system that will install, so far as I have had luck it will only install off the internet, I haven't been able to get just a download. I have to load 10.8 from USB flash, the upgrade. Here's how to create the drive: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/clean-insta...
I found out how to do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyjWd2Bs...
I took an old 60 GB SATA drive and gave it 7 partitions. I have now set up installations for 10.9.2, 10.8.5, 10.7.5 and 10.6.8 using the directions from the hongkiat link. No more fights to locate installation disks or downloads. I'll load further updates on the blank partitions.

Bush's Terrible Twos
Who knew it would come to this? That the fellow once derided for smirkiness and boobery, who won the White House because a Democratic Party official in Palm Beach botched a ballot design, who seemed a good bet to join his poppy in the Single-Term Wing of the Hall of Presidents, who was dismissed as a foreign policy rube by leaders overseas, now stands as the most powerful--and perhaps the most unfettered--President in modern history. In the wake of September 11, George W. Bush expanded the authority of the presidency and the federal government he heads (military tribunals, secret detentions and the like). He increased official secrecy (beyond what he and Vice President Cheney had already accomplished). And he claimed the right--with Congress's assent--to declare war on Iraq on his own, while he was already prosecuting, at his discretion (and that of Donald Rumsfeld), a mostly clandestine war against terrorism, which has included the CIA covertly assassinating suspected enemies with remote-controlled drones. Richard Nixon never had it so good.
On the home front, Bush, by dauntlessly campaigning like a partisan madman for Republicans last fall, thwarted a historical trend and practically single-handedly reshaped the political realm--at least in the short run--to his advantage. So much so that he was able to ring in the new year with a most brazen opening shot. He hurled at Congress yet a new round of supersized, budget-breaking tax cuts that overwhelmingly favor the well-to-do, while his White House prepared to clamp down on domestic spending, which tends to benefit middle- and low-income Americans. The White House, for example, has proposed cutting $300 million for heating assistance for the poor. For comparison's sake, the country could provide health coverage to all the 9 million uninsured children and fully fund Head Start for the cost of Bush's proposed elimination of the dividend tax. It's leave-no-millionaire-behind time--even if a costly war is about to start (only your President knows for sure). The son of the man who once ridiculed Ronald Reagan's trickledown, supply-side fantasies as "voodoo economics" now champions Reaganomics with a vengeance. And with the embers still aglow from Trent Lott's verbal cross-burning, Bush returned to the Senate the judicial nomination of Charles Pickering--whom the Senate Democrats had rejected because of his questionable civil rights record--and other controversial court nominees previously spurned by the Democrats. During the presidential campaign, Bush vowed (incessantly), "I'm a uniter, not a divider." Now the motto is, "In your face." He sure has grown in office. From Boy George to King George.
Bush seems in love with his own boldness. With good reason. His first big, relieve-the-rich tax cut was pronounced a non-starter, yet he rammed it through Congress, with the acquiescence of a dozen Senate Democrats. Last year, when Democrats urged Bush to take his get-Saddam obsession to the United Nations, he accepted their advice and then persuaded--or rolled--the Security Council. Recall the argument that the Saudis will never go for war against Iraq? The oil autocrats there recently said they would permit Bush to use bases for some war-related activity. And Germany and France, which have opposed Bush's Iraq endeavor, have signaled they may well join in, if or when D-day comes, even though they favor continuing inspections and working through the UN. The ongoing inspections process might be a bummer for the White House, but they still seem to believe they can call (and fire) the shots as they see fit. And Bush is trying not to let that inconvenient business in North Korea--it's not a crisis, it's not a crisis--interfere with the march to war. With North Korea, Bush's goal is containment: Contain any controversy, that is, and don't let reality intrude on the we're-in-control agenda crafted by Bush, Cheney & Rove, Ltd.
Certainly, in the first half of his first term, the Administration had several what-is-Rove-thinking moments: the Jeffords Jump, PR-foolish environmental-protection rollbacks (arsenic in water, anyone?), the tussle over Cheney's secret meetings with energy lobbyists and Enron. Does anyone remember Enron now? With the GOPers in charge, you can bet your diminished 401(k) there won't be any more high-profile Enron hearings in the Senate; the Democrats blew that chance. Enron feels so pre-9/11--which it wasn't. But much of Bush's less-than-glorious political history--even post-9/11 episodes unrelated to that awful day--appears to have been erased or rendered secondary by the explosions at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He sure knows that.
Where are the brakes? If Bush puts the pedal to the metal, who or what can slow down this force de président? His tax-cut plan met with widespread criticism--and not merely from Democrats. The Washington Post editorialists uncharacteristically mocked Bush: "But if $700 billion [in tax cuts] is bolder than $300 billion, why stop there? Why not cut $1.7 trillion, or $2.7 trillion?... Why not abolish [the income tax]? Wouldn't that be bold? Wouldn't it be the conservative and--speaking now as beleaguered taxpayers--the compassionate thing to do?" Yet the Bushies did not seem bothered by the extensive skepticism. Nor have they displayed concern that GOP Senators John McCain, Lincoln Chafee, George Voinovich, Susan Collins and Charles Grassley all have expressed varying degrees of unease with parts of the package. With almost all Senate Democrats firmly against these cuts at the moment--Zell Miller, once again, stands out--it might take only one or two Republican skunks to ruin Bush's party. (Team Bush apparently hopes to run the tax cuts through the Senate in what's known as a reconciliation measure--which would not be vulnerable to a filibuster.) In the face of this, the Bush bravado is unnerving. Is he playacting--unveiling an over-the-top plan to wow the base, realizing it will eventually be sliced and diced? Or does he know something we don't? Perhaps he's ready to stare down the few remaining Republican fuddy-duddies who fret over deficits. After all, Senate Republicans ought to be grateful to Bush. He won them back their chairmanships, and he nimbly guided them through the ugly Lott imbroglio. Bill Frist starts his tenure as Senate majority leader as a partly owned subsidiary of the White House. Grassley told The Hill, "The president should not take the attitude that he has a free hand with Congress, even though that may be accurate." The White House has to love warnings like that.
As for the Democrats, is there muscle behind their huffing? Will they, as some now are vowing, use extreme but legitimate means--filibusters and holds--to defeat Pickering and other nominees they consider unacceptable? Can they hang together in opposing the Bush tax plan, or will the White House be able to peel off a small number of Democrats with targeted compromises? (Most of the real action will occur in the Senate; the minority caucus there has a greater ability to obstruct than its counterpart in the House.) The political unit of ABC News recently offered a wise observation: "The President's macro message (and that of his party) is 'we want lots of tax cuts,' while the Democrats are left trying to talk tax cuts, but also, inevitably, saying things that make them at least seem opposed to tax cuts generally, and that is a matchup that George 'Dubya' Bush is 2 for 2 in national elections." Bush actually wants another fight on class warfare. The Democrats, PO'ed by Bush's charge that they are the ones playing class warfare, will need to match his determination--use that anger!--just as the party's 2004 contenders ought to be pondering how to counter Bush's brass with daring of their own.
The hubris runneth over indeed at 1600 Pennsylvania, but Bush and Rove are not kamikazes. (Cheney? Well, he may not be worrying about running for re-election.) Bush and his crew seem to realize there may be such a thing as going too far, though they define that quite liberally. Bush softened the tough-sheriff talk on North Korea. He made Lott walk the plank. And conservative advocates--psyched for war in Iraq and for brash tax cuts--have been concerned that Bush might nominate White House counsel Alberto Gonzalez (whom many right-wing partisans do not deem sufficiently conservative) for the next Supreme Court opening, sacrificing ideology for politically useful diversity. Bush may be held in check only by what he (or Rove) judges excessive--meaning what they assume will turn off soccer moms, suburban independents or whatever swing group they determine to be crucial to re-election. This White House wants to keep on claiming, as the campaign did, that Bush is a "different kind of Republican," not a meanie or a Lott-like GOP-er. While sticking with the "Southern strategy"--see Pickering--Bush recently chose to hold his 2004 GOP coronation in New York City. Obviously, he will be able to bask in the glow of the heroes of 9/11. Firefighters, emergency workers, police officers and rescue dogs will no doubt be featured at the convention, which will be a weeklong reminder that since that day Bush has been busy protecting you. But it will also showcase the non-Trent, different-kind-of-Republican wing of the party: Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Governor George Pataki and, most of all, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
War may determine all for Bush. September 11 defined Bush's presidency, but then he decided to further (and fundamentally) define the Bush II years by promising a showdown with Saddam Hussein. There was no public clamor for moving from Afghanistan to Iraq (unless you count neocon commentators like Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer). Bush elected to place the Iraq problem at the top of his to-do (before 2004) list. He can expect to be judged by voters on how he deals with this challenge. And his performance there may determine how much latitude he has in pushing the rest of his wish list. For now, he has a free hand to handle Iraq. Congress has stepped out of his way. Many in the international community have accepted that Bush will do what he wants and have opted to accommodate him (and cut the best deal they can with Washington). Iraq is truly Bush's signature project (with Tom Daschle, Dick Gephardt and other Dems signed on as junior--very junior--partners). It could undo his presidency, or it could solidify his popularity and political standing as America's protector. It remains the 800-pound X-factor--unless the North Korea situation worsens or terrorism strikes once more.
Entering Year Three, Bush is a potent President. It is sixteen months after 9/11. He has proven he can continue to exploit fully the natural boost in his approval ratings that followed the attacks--though they have been trending down. He and Rove have generally been even savvier than they were on the campaign trail. But with the tax cuts and the Pickering et al. nominations, Bush has outed himself. In 2000 he attempted to have it both ways. He was solidly conservative--tax cuts, partial privatization of Social Security, anti-abortion rights--while he plotted to blur the traditional differences between the parties by proclaiming that he, too, cared about education, healthcare, poor people, the elderly and minorities. That basic strategy is not going to change. But with his recent excesses--overreaching, the Democrats are saying longingly--Bush has further widened the gap between his conservatism and his (feigned) compassion. Optimistic Democrats smell opportunity.
During the 2002 Congressional elections, Democrats failed to distinguish themselves clearly enough from Bush. Well, now they can thank Bush for doing that job for them. His desire to go for the bold--using the political might he has skillfully amassed--offers his opposition an opening. Is it possible that the stronger Bush acts, the more vulnerable he will become? His foes can wish for that. Bush did thrive when he was underestimated. Perhaps he is a better target when overestimated--especially if by himself.

I would SWIM in Nutella if I could
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
I was talking to my mom the other day and she said she can't stand the stuff!! What????? I'm now not for certain that we are related, lol
Be careful! People have had the Kinder Riegels confiscated when they come into the USA from Canada!
Dark chocolate brownies smeared with Nutella and toasted hazel nuts! To die for!
I take a Nutella bath ...
twice a day!!!!
Nutella is the best ever. I will definitely try one of these waffles; hopefully I won't have to share!
I might be your first, I can't stand it. It looks absolutely delicious, but I don't like hazelnut.
Thank you so much! DH will be thrilled!!
That's odd. We have a local German restaurant that sells a lot of German candy including Kinder Riegels. Obviously, businesses are allowed to import them. You can also buy them online to ship to US homes. It seems strange they won't allow Germans to carry them in, when it's so easy to get them here.
Peanut Butter & Nutella & Banana =)
Pretzels & Nutella =)
BTW, the ORIGINAL Nutella should not be confused with American made Hazlenut spread. NOT the same thing.
ALSO... buy Nutella only in the glass jars. Skip the plastic (it does not spread as easily and not as creamy).
Can not wait for a Waffle/Nutella/Strawberry/Whip Cream sandwich from Sleep Hallow!!!!
Not the Riegels; that's just the chocolate and wafer.
It's the Surprise/Eggs/Überraschung that are not allowed here. Same chocolate and wafer but no egg.
We actually make a Nutela milkshake w/ vanilla ice cream. It's to die for!
Nutella is very common in the USA. I have to buy it in huge jugs at Costco because my family inhales the stuff. Haribo is very common too - love their gummy bears!
I cannot stand the stuff but then again i hate hazelnuts. My kids love it. There is a restaurant near here that makes nutella milkshakes. My kids say they are the best.
When I returned from my first trip to Europe in 1996, where I had discovered Nutella and my love for it!, I looked for Nutella everywhere and it was impossible to find. It is pretty popular in the US now, but that wasn't always the case. Even though it is easier to find and more "mainstream" than it used to be, it is still definitely not a staple in most American households.
I put Nutella on so much--it's especially delicious on multigrain bread and graham crackers, I've come to learn.
I would to try Nutella waffles!
I love Nutella, especially with bananas! I will post a pic of the waffle from sleepy hollow later today!
Can get a nutella waffle sandwich at Sleepy Hollow Snack in Liberty Square Magic Kingdom
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a336/miloface/Disney World Jan 2013/file_zpsb58d3e9f.jpg
Can't wait to eat again in just over 3 weeks! And I'll have my little packets with me to slather more on. Don't think they put enough on personally. But I can also eat half a jar in one sitting if I don't watch myself!
Sent from my iPad using DISBoards
I made mini Nutella cheesecakes for my daughter's baby shower and they were a HUGE hit! We also make paninis with Nutella and bananas sprinkled with confectioners sugar (cause they're not sweet enough lol!) and Nutella rolls with flour tortillas and fruit. Yes...I realize that we have an addiction LOL!!! Can't wait to try the waffle in Sept!!!!

Hartford, playing its second game in 36 hours, wins at Fairfield
Nov 13, 2013, 9:38 PM EDT
For those who attempted to stay up for much (if not all) of Tuesday's 24-hour college basketball marathon, getting through Wednesday was quite the task. So consider what the Hartford Hawks were confronted with: at 7:00 a.m. Tuesday Hartford's game at FGCU tipped off, and after holding their own for much of the contest the Hawks fell by the final score of 65-51.
From Fort Myers head coach John Gallagher's team hopped on a plane, with a game on Wednesday night at Fairfield next on the schedule. A quick turnaround for most teams would represent a near-impossible task but that wasn't the case for Hartford, who beat the Stags 63-53 with big men Yasin Kolo (20 points, six rebounds) and Mark Nwakamma (17 points, 11 rebounds) leading the way.
A ten-point edge at the foul line (16-6) and their work on the defensive end, limiting Fairfield to 37.0% shooting from the field (37.1% on two-point shots), made the difference for a Hartford team playing its second game in 36 hours. And it's not like the two locations were in the same neighborhood, with Mapquest calculating the distance from Fort Myers, Fla. to Bridgeport, Conn. to be over 1,300 miles. Sure the Hawks didn't have to make the trek via bus, but their ability to win in spite of the irregular travel schedule should be commended.
And the Hawks won't have much time to celebrate Wednesday's result either, as they host Fairleigh Dickinson in their home opener on Friday.

Jim Foti challenges us to live up the the American ideal—extending to all the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We are a country of mass distraction, a country where the comfortable can decide not to look or see or do anything. But our country must look and see and listen, and acknowledge its realities.
That is where our work has begun, by looking, by seeing, by bringing reason and reality into the public square and onto the streets. By embodying love and making it visible. By listening with humility to those whose lives are different from our own. By finding ways to move from sympathy to solidarity. By knowing when to follow. (Quest for Meaning, December 18)
The Rev. Joseph Santos-Lyons writes that the "forces of fear and ignorance are alive in Portland."
The Portland State University Board has authorized arming security forces with weapons that can kill. . . . As our children of color face persistently experience threats of violence and disproportionately pay the ultimate price of #whitesupremacy, the choice to put more guns into our education learning environment demonstrates the corruption of leadership. (Radicalhapa, December 12)
Doug Muder lists five things to understand about the Senate's report on torture.
When something this long and detailed comes out and says things a lot of people don't want to hear, it's easy to get drawn off into arguments that miss the point. So here are my "findings", the main things that I think the average American needs to understand:
(The Weekly Sift, December 15)Sometimes it's a Blue Christmas
The Rev. Mary Wellemeyer admits that some of us are having a Blue Christmas.
Maybe this is the first Winter Holiday season since a dear one in your family has died, when all the old traditions bring back memories of times when you were all together, sharing the special joys of the season. Or maybe there has been a separation, estrangement, divorce from someone living—a partner, a child, someone else—with whom you used to share these times. Or maybe you are living in a different place, at loose ends when the holiday comes around, missing everyone who used to be around to share the holidays. (Open Road, December 16)
John Beckett agrees that this has been a difficult season.
These seven weeks between Samhain and Yule have been the most difficult season I can remember. There have been great conflicts abroad and gross injustices at home. There have been natural disasters, untimely deaths, and personal misfortunes. . . .
The dark times we are experiencing now will not disappear when we light our Solstice candles. I cannot promise you a bright new calendar year. Yet we light our Solstice candles anyway. We do what we do not because it will make everything nice and easy but because this is who we are. (Under the Ancient Oaks, December 18)
The Rev. Nori Rost encourages us to embrace the beauty of darkness.
[It] is only when we can learn to love the beauty of the darkness that we can be fully alive and centered in our light. (sUbteXt, December 18)
At this time of year, many people find the ancient symbols of darkness and light meaningful. As Kenny Wiley notes, however, that language can be problematic: "I've long struggled, as a black man, with our society & world's language around darkness as bad and light as good." (Facebook, December 12) Wiley's comments took place as part of a long conversation about a UU winter solstice event, in which participants wrestled honestly with these issues.Human connections
Instead of being a homebody, Katy Carpman ventures out, and two encounters remind her that "We are all connected and have so very much in common." (Remembering Attention, December 11)
Diana McLean is grateful for people who push her to be her best self.
Sometimes being pushed to be my best self feels a little like having my feet off the ground while someone asks me to trust them while they run me off a cliff.
But oh my goodness, when you realize that the push you just got launched you toward your goal faster than you'd have gotten there alone, that's worth it. And maybe the push actually sends you flying right past a goal that you thought was pretty lofty, but in hindsight, it was settling for good enough. And then you thank God or the Universe or fate for bringing someone a little pushy into your life. (Poetic Justice, December 14)
The Interdependent Web will return January 9, after a break for the holidays. We hope your celebrations are joyful!
D.C.-area UUs join giant 'Justice for All' march
Washington, D.C.-area Unitarian Universalists joined thousands of people in a 'Justice for All' march organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network. The UUs carried a large Standing on the Side of Love banner and told reporters that they were at the rally, in part, to say that killing minority teenagers has to stop. (The Washington Post - 12.13.14)
Another 'Justice for All' march story:
"Marc Morial: Michael Brown, Eric Garner protesters want accountability" (Face the Nation - 12.14.14)
UUs demonstrate for racial justice
In a show a solidarity, local police in Arlington, Mass., brought demonstrators at a Black Lives Matter event outside First Parish Unitarian Universalist in Arlington coffee and muffins as they gathered for their peaceful rally. (The Arlington Advocate - 12.15.14)
The Rev. Kathleen Rolenz, a minister at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, joined members of her congregation to protest the shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. (Cleveland.com - 12.12.14)
Minister killed in Selma portrayed in upcoming film
A recent screening of the new film Selma triggered memories for one reporter of the first time she wrote about Unitarian Universalist minister the Rev. James Reeb's tragic death in March 1965, when she was a reporter for her college paper. (Boston Herald - 12.12.14)
An early review of the film Selma takes issue with the way the filmmakers chose to gloss over the negative depictions of whites, including residents of Selma, Ala., who violently attacked the Rev. James Reeb (misidentified in the article as a priest) after he left a local restaurant with fellow clergy. (The Boston Globe - 12.18.14)
Boxing helps minister 'recalibrate'
The Rev. Ann Schranz, minister of the Monte Vista Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Montclair, Cal., finds spiritual meaning and growth in boxing because it helps her reframe pain and let go of an attachment to outcomes. (LA Times - 12.17.14)
NGO reports on thefts by U.S. border patrol
A recent report released by the humanitarian organization No More Deaths, a ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, Ariz., highlights the common occurrence of undocumented migrants losing their money or belongings during deportation due to negligence or outright theft by U.S. authorities. (PanAm Post - 12.15.14)
More holidays, UU style
In addition to lighting a menorah to acknowledge Jewish holiday traditions, and setting up a nativity scene for Christian traditions, members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Farmington in Farmington Hills, Mich., will perform a solstice ritual. (hometownlife.com - 12.12.14)
As a way of reaching out beyond their congregation's walls, members of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Wellesley Hills, Mass., undecorated a Christmas tree and collected more than 60 gifts for local homeless people. (The Wellesley Townsman - 12.17.14)
We will take the next two weeks off from posting UUs in the Media to take time to enjoy the winter holidays. We will be back in full swing in the new year.
The Rev. Shelley Page inspires a march for peace in Ogden, Utah.
The New Zion Baptist minister told the crowd that he was inspired to do the march because an unknown clergy colleague had called him expressing solidarity. He felt it was a sign from God that now was a time to stand together, as a new beginning, to address these issues. When I met him for the first time in person today, he embraced me like a long lost friend, and told me that my call made the difference, gave him heart. (The Lively Tradition, December 6)
Karen Johnston tells the story of arriving, with an elderly fellow protester, in the back of a state police cruiser at a "rally about too many Black and Brown men dying at the hands of police officers." (irrevspeckay, December 8)
At a different protest, Cindy Pincus has a different experience with the police—a nasty head wound—but plans to continue protesting..
I'm returning to the protests tonight (Monday night, as I write). Every life is made in the image of the Divine and violence to any body is violence to everybody. Just because I was hit, doesn't mean I will be the last one and I certainly wasn't the first. Police brutality and indiscriminate violence is a blight on the great American experiment of freedom. As Unitarian Universalists, we are called to participate in that experiment time and again and we have and will always be warriors of peace and justice for all. (UUSF, December 10)
The Rev. Meg Riley tells the story of her "guerilla grandma" protest strategies, and concludes that "too many White people are simply stewing in blogs and news accounts and Facebook updates and feeling helpless."
If that's you, Grandma is speaking now, so listen up: This isn't a time to sit home with your feelings. This is a movement! With the reins securely in the hand of young Black leaders, in Minneapolis and in Ferguson and in countless other cities, do what you can to support whatever they're doing—go to their events, give them bail money if you have it, tell them how inspiring they are—and meanwhile deploy your own identities and skills, whatever they are.
You've read enough; you know what happened. Now act. Find a buddy to support you. Think creatively about how to speak out in unlikely places. (Huffington Post, December 9)Strategies
The Rev. Scott Wells pushes back against UU preferences for protests over policy-making.
What do we have to gain by (what amounts to) an exercise in collective holiness? Less, I contend, than we have to offer by participating constantly in the nitty-gritty of public policy.
And I think we avoid this opportunity because we have grown unaccustomed to political power, and perhaps find it awkward or distasteful as a religious people. And if that's the case, we need to get over that. So many people view governance and public policy with suspicion, but in doing so surrender their power to those who are left claim it. (Boy in the Bands, December 10)
Kenny Wiley is a moderate protester, marching "with 'radicals' as well as (relative) conservatives."
It is often said that we have to work together for this movement to work. Indeed. But "working together" doesn't mean silencing anyone who disagrees with us. Working together doesn't mean men silencing women. Working together doesn't mean older civil rights activists running over younger ones. Working together doesn't mean white people taking the mic or otherwise telling black folks how to respond.
Working together means understanding not just how each of us is disadvantaged but also how we are privileged. Working togethermeans knowing when to talk, and when to listen. Working together means having hard conversations. (A Full Day, December 11)
Crystal St. Marie Lewis has a message: Stop derailing the discussion.
I suppose if I could say something to a large group of people about the current outcry against police brutality towards Black people, I'd say that this issue is not to be conflated with other challenges in the Black community. The issue of violence against Black people by the police is an epidemic unto itself and deserves the undivided attention it's receiving now. (Window on Religion, December 8)
Responding to pushback some UU ministers have received about speaking out about racism, the Rev. Tom Schade writes an imaginary newsletter column.
It is not the duty of a UU minister to represent all views in the congregation. It is not the duty of a UU minister to facilitate the discussions between opposing views in the congregation on the vital issues of the day. It is not the duty of a UU minister to argue every point with every congregant. It is not the duty of a UU minister to be above the fray. . . .
In today's context, it is the duty of UU ministers to lead congregations into the social movements against racism, even if it makes some members of those congregations angry or uncomfortable. The call of conscience and the demands of religious conviction are often disruptive of our comfortable opinions. That's the point of having them. (The Lively Tradition, December 5)
The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum explains why we are not waiting for Rosa Parks.
Michael Brown's tragedy isn't the wrong tragedy to wake this country up—it's exactly the right tragedy, because for whatever reason, it did wake people up. We don't need more unarmed black men to die, and we don't need to wait for Rosa. (The Lively Tradition, December 9)
Kim Hampton writes, "While we are talking about #blacklivesmatters, we need to expand that to also include #blackbodiesmatter too."
The treatment of these black men's bodies by those in authority/positions of power is shameful and is just another manifestation of this society's thinking about black people.
Anthony Pinn wrote: "Black bodies are complex signs that represent something both appealing and repulsive for the society in which we dwell."
There's something to that, I think. (East of Midnight, December 8)And everything else
Responding to this week's news about the United States' use of torture, the Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern commits to a new practice.
Whenever I hear or read the term "waterboarding," unless it's clarified by "as the CIA calls it" and replaced in subsequent uses by an accurate term, I'm going to write to the source in question and tell them their job is to give us news, not Newspeak. (Sermon in Stones, December 10)
Drawing on the metaphor of childbirth, Liz James writes about "the blood-spattered pause."
The moment when you are up to your neck in it and there's no going back, but suddenly you stop. In life, it is too easy to mistake this moment for cowardice. You can't quite finish coming out of the closet, or you can't leave the job with the horrible boss even though you've set everything up, or you can't quite speak all the truth to power you were hoping to, and you suddenly become . . . frozen.
It is not cowardice. You were not mistaken. You are not too tired, or not adequate to the task. This is not the beginning of self doubt or failure.
It is just the blood-spattered pause. (Rebel with a Labelmaker, December 11)
James also shares a personal update about her health—along with her physican husband's advice about living with a difficult diagnosis:
Life is not a countdown to "dead." It's a count up from "born." There's only one real diagnosis, and we've all got it. And it's not a license to wait. It's the reason to stop waiting. (Rebel with a Labelmaker, December 8)
Christine Organ has a guest post in The New York Times, writing about why her family goes to church.
For our family, the right-decision-for-us-for-now means listening to a few grumbles from the back seat on the way to our liberal-in-a-suburban-kind-of-way Unitarian church. It means a family prayer before dinner, learning about other faiths and talking about what we might believe. (Motherlode, December 7)
Responding to The Lively Tradition's recent anonymous seminarian posts, Claire Curole speaks out about her experiences as a seminarian—and her hopes for a better way.
We could start from our deep shared values, and consider the question, "What will Unitarian Universalist ministry need to look like if it is to be relevant in the 21st century?" and then create a process that selects for and supports that vision instead of continually repainting the language and adding knobs and widgets (or milestones and competencies) to a model whose baseline assumptions about the people entering ministry are rooted in the wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant norms of the early 20th century. The world has changed. Can we? (The Sand Hill Diaries, December 8)
Being spiritual and religious means going to church
A Unitarian Universalist parent describes why her family is bucking the broadening trend of religious people spending their Sundays doing other things besides going to church. For this mother, church is necessary to help her children develop a sense of spirituality. (The New York Times - 12.7.14)
Tim DeChristopher connects faith, activism
Environmental activist and Unitarian Universalist seminary student Tim DeChristopher talks about the vital role that spirituality plays in activism, especially in its power to connect people who have been alienated by the institutions they oppose. (truthout.org - 12.8.14)
UUs deeply involved in racial justice protests across country
The Rev. Cindy Pincus, intern minister at First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco, Calif., recounts the violent blow she says she received from a police offer while participating in a protest in Berkeley. (Huffington Post - 12.8.14)
Other stories of racial justice demonstrations:
"Ogden 'peace march' marks reaction to police shootings" (Standard Examiner - 12.7.14)
"Local protesters continue police-killings demonstrations" (The Philadelphia Tribune - 12.9.14)
Holidays, UU style
Members of the Common Ground Choir, affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff in Dallas, Tex., sing protest songs at various peaceful demonstrations. They joined others after Thanksgiving outside the local Walmart to support a Black Friday protest for better jobs. (Oak Cliff BubbleLife - 11.28.14)
Members of the lay-led San Juan Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Farmington, N.Mex., caught the attention of their local media when they introduced the Unitarian Universalist holiday tradition of Chalica in their congregation. (Daily Times - 12.7.14)
Minister led congregation through period of impressive growth
Although the members of Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Appleton, Wisc., will be sad to see the Rev. Roger Bertschausen go, they will remember the safe space he created for spiritual growth within the congregation. (Post-Crescent.com - 12.8.14)

My indoor Hoya is blooming indoors right now, can you see the nectar drop?
Photos taken with my new Canon PowerShot S5 IS.
Congratulation for your new camera. That's a beautiful shot, and a gorgeous bloom.
I have a 5 years Hoya that never bloomed because I was too generous with it and put it in a big container. Later I found out it likes potbound, and now I'm afraid to disturb it.
I should know by now not to move my photos in my Photobucket after posting. LOL
Here is that other shot.
Thanks gg and Mariana, I do have mine rootbound, in a south facing window. Its not fully covered with blooms but a few right now. This is the first time I've seen the nectar though.
I have 2 mature hoya plants that I inherited from my grandmother in law, and after some trial and error I found that although they like to be pot bound, the most important factor is bright direct sunlight. Both of my plants, as soon as they were moved into a south facing window, consistently bloom. Right now I am enjoying the wonderful scent that they give off in the evening.

Who says a better world is impossible?
Cars, air travel, space exploration, television, nuclear power, high-speed computers, telephones, organ transplants, prosthetic body parts... At various times these were all deemed impossible. I've been around long enough to have witnessed many technological feats that were once unimaginable.
