Beatlemania: The 10 best early Beatles songs
The Beatles had barely scratched the surface of what soon would be revealed as their unlimited potential the day they invaded American culture with their first of several iconic appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964.
At that point, they were on their second U.K. album, "With the Beatles" — which, as timeless as it may be, sounds nothing like the calling card of revolutionary artists about to elevate the game for everyone on the strength of such seminal albums as "Rubber Soul," "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
But the charm of those innocent early recordings remains. And it's doubtful the Beatles would have been afforded the luxury of exploring the unconventional ideas that resulted in an album as ambitious as "Revolver" if those early records hadn't resonated with the masses.
With that in mind, we turn our attentions to counting down the greatest hits the Beatles had at their disposal as their flight touched down at New York's Kennedy Airport on that first U.S. visit.

HOUSTON - A federal appeals court has rejected a Texas inmate's appeal to have his murder convictions and death sentence thrown out over the 1993 New Year's Eve slaying of his girlfriend and her two mentally impaired sons.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a ruling posted late Tuesday, rejected 47-year-old Henry Watkins Skinner's argument that defense attorneys at his capital murder trial should have used a police blood spatter report to bolster his defense.
Skinner was convicted of fatally bludgeoning Twila Jean Busby, 40, with an ax handle, then fatally stabbing her two mentally impaired sons, Elwin Caler, 22, and Randy Busby, 20. The killings occurred at their home in Pampa.
The New Orleans-based court last year allowed Skinner's lawyers to advance an appeal of the blood spatter report claim after a federal district judge rejected a similar appeal.
"We agree with the district court that Skinner has failed to demonstrate that the omission of the report was sufficiently prejudicial," the court wrote. "Even taking the report at face value, Skinner overstates its implications."
Skinner argued the report showed that the blood on Elwin Caler came from his mother, suggesting someone other than Skinner was the killer. He also argued his trial lawyers failed to uncover evidence that another relative of the victims was the killer.
But the court ruled it was "not reasonably probable" that blood spatter evidence would have caused the trial jury to acquit Skinner.
Skinner's lawyers at his 1995 trial acknowledged he was present at the time of the killings but said he was passed out on the couch from a combination of alcohol and codeine and was too incapacitated to commit the slayings.
Skinner's case came under scrutiny in 2000 because of the lack of forensic testing conducted during the investigation, despite a wealth of evidence, and questions about the behavior of Skinner's trial attorney, Harold Comer, who left his post as Gray County district attorney after improperly borrowing $10,000 from a drug seizure fund.
In November, Skinner was among numerous Texas death row inmates found with contraband cell phones. An X-ray scan revealed a phone inside his rectum.
He does not have an execution date.

Indefeasibility for What? Interpretive Choices in the Torrens System
Patricia Lane
Sydney Law School
PROPERTY AND SECURITY: SELECTED ESSAYS, L. Bennett Moses, B. Edgeworth and C. Sherry, eds., Lawbook Co: Australia, Forthcoming
Sydney Law School Research Paper No. 10/14
The Torrens system in Australia protects the security of the registered title, but at what price is the certainty achieved? The registered title is subject to supervening statutes, and the defects in the registered dealings themselves. The system demands interpretive choices be made at the level of interaction with other statutes, and in determining claims between registered interests, such as between the registered proprietor and lessees or mortgagees. Both statutory and contractual interpretive approaches are required to determine these priority questions.

8) The Smiths, won't play unless every music fan gives up meat
Coachella has once again attempted to get Morrissey to reunite with the Smiths to headline the festival. Organizers have even gone as far as offering the famously-vegetarian frontman a completely meatless festival. Even though Morrissey has said he won't play the show, maybe the dream of spreading his "meat is murder" message will get the better of him. If not, at least he's playing in Colorado.

Health Beat: Pulmonary rehab: Healing with music
Playing a musical instrument can be fun, but for people with lung problems, it can also offer a health benefit.
Music has always been a huge part of Larry Rawdon's life.
"I think it transports people to a different, a better place," said Rawdon, a professional cellist for 30 years.
More recently, Rawdon took up the harmonica.
"I love playing the harmonica. It's a great outlet," Rawdon said.
For Rawdon, however, it's been much more than that. After surviving two lung transplants, he noticed his passion could also be a form of therapy.
"My scores were always substantially elevated after playing the harmonica," said Rawdon, who told his doctor about what he observed on his lung tests.
"I knew I could not just ignore what he was saying because this guy knows what he's talking about," said Dr. Cesar Keller, professor of medicine, medical director, lung transplant program, Mayo Clinic Florida.
Keller said playing the harmonica can strengthen a patient's diaphragm, much like standard rehab exercises do, but the harmonica is more fun and patients are more likely to stick with it.
"If you can keep your respiratory muscles and your diaphragm as strong as possible, the disease will be better," Keller said.
The repetitive tones make the muscles work. Keller said the harmonica isn't a replacement for standard pulmonary therapy, but adding the instrument to the mix could be beneficial.
Rawdon couldn't agree more.
"I really do think music is oxygen for the soul," he said.
Keller said that, like most rehab programs, harmonica breathing exercises should be done three-to-five times a week.
Rawdon now teaches harmonica lessons to fellow patients as a supplemental pulmonary rehab exercise. Playing the harmonica may also benefit people with other respiratory conditions, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Since the draft I have seen and heard quite a bit of criticism about the Vikings using the No. 12 pick on Florida State's QB Christian Ponder. While picking a QB in the first round is generally always a gamble, I personally feel that Ponder was one of the better QBs in the Draft.
Many people feel that Minnesota could have traded down and acquired more picks and still have gotten Ponder with a later pick. What I don't think some people understand is that if the Vikings feel that Ponder is going to be our QB of the future then you don't take a giant risk in losing him, especially with QB needy Washington waiting a few picks behind.
After years of veteran and project QB's I think it is time that the Vikings found a QB that will be the face of the franchise. While I would have loved to trade down and see the Vikings get more picks and Christian Ponder, that's just not the way the cards fell. The Vikings did what they needed and got their man.
I have been a giant Vikings fan for a long time and am passionate about the purple and gold. Even though I may have taken a drink or two from the Ponder Kool-Aid please share your opinions and thoughts on this pick and this article.
So let's take a look at some of the pros, cons, and questions looming around Ponder.

Drug charges have been filed against actor Nick Nolte by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office following his September DUI arrest, the TV show "Extra" reports.
Prosecutors say the two-time Oscar nominee's blood tests at the time of his arrest revealed the presence of GHB (Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate) -- a synthetic depressant commonly referred to as the "date rape" drug.
Nolte was charged Wednesday with driving under the influence and use of a controlled substance, both misdemeanors. His next court date is Oct. 28 in Malibu, but Nolte is not required to appear.
His publicist declined to comment on the charges.
The actor, 61, was arrested Sept. 11 in his black 1992 Mercedes SUV after it was allegedly seen swerving on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, Calif.
"Mr. Nolte at that point seemed completely out of it," California Highway Patrol spokesman Leland Tang told Reuters. "He was drooling, (with) droopy eyes. He ... looked very much like he was under the influence."
Three days after his arrest, the "Prince of Tides" star, a Malibu resident, checked into Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut, a substance abuse and psychiatric center, his publicist, Paul Bloch, confirmed. (Silver Hill's past list of patients has included Mariah Carey, Billy Joel and Liza Minnelli.)
The actor was due to remain there for "as long as he feels is necessary," said Bloch, adding that Nolte entered the facility voluntarily.
Charge: Nolte was on 'Date Rape' Drug

MONROE TWP. — One of the luckiest soccer fans in the country lives in Williamstown.
Actually, make that "one of the luckiest in the world."
When the U.S. national soccer team marches onto the field for their first match of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil next month, they'll be joined by 9-year-old Angel Collazo, who, because of a contest his parents entered last month, will be walking hand-in-hand with one of the players.
"I had them say it to me three times before I believed them," said Sarabeth Abrams, Angel's mother, of receiving the call. "As an attorney, they had to convince me. I was in tears and I couldn't believe it. Then I called my husband, and he screamed from being so thrilled."
All of that is the product of a contest held every four years by McDonald's. In addition to being a major sponsor of the FIFA World Cup, the fast food giant also runs the tournament's Player Escort Program, which chooses young soccer fans from all over the world to escort their country's players onto the field for a game, and be a small part of one of the largest sporting event on the planet.
This year, 1,400 children from around the world won the contest.
Twenty five of them are from the United States.
Angel, who has been playing soccer since he was 5, a member of the U-9 Monroe Mustangs, learned he was heading to Brazil last week, when officials from McDonald's — including Ronald McDonald himself — crashed his team's practice.
They gave an initially-bewildered Angel the good news, and a $1,000 check to the Monroe Township Youth Soccer League.
"He's a pretty amazing child," said Abrams. "He was injured by his birth mother, and we adopted him when he was 3 months old — doctors said he wouldn't be able to hear, walk or talk.
"Now, obviously, he does all three, and soccer is one of those things he loves the best."
The free, week-long trip to Brazil for Angel and his mother covers the flight, hotel accommodations, meals, events and — of course — the U.S. opening game on June 16, when they will face Ghana.
His father, Edgar Collazo — who actually entered Angel into the contest on his way home from McDonald's last April — and his 6-year-old sister, Anya, will be joining them, although at the family's own expense.
"I was very surprised when I found out about it — I never knew I would go," said Angel, whose favorite player in the world is currently Brazilian forward Neymar. "I'm excited to watch all the players. I keep asking when we're going to go."

In a limited liability partnership, the partners enjoy some protection against personal liability. Each partner must be a person licensed under California laws to engage in the practice of public accountancy, law or architecture. The LLP is not a separate entity for income tax purposes; profits and losses are passed through to the partners and reported on each individual's tax return.
Like a general partnership, all partners have equal rights in the management of an LLP unless otherwise agreed. Partnerships are quite flexible; a great variety of control and management structures are available by agreement.
Each partner is responsible for liabilities imposed by law arising out of his or her own acts and omissions. In addition, each partner is responsible for debts and liabilities as defined in the LLP agreement.
Firms must complete theRegistered Limited Liability Partnership Registration (Secretary of State Form LLP-1) and submit it to the Secretary of State along with a filing fee. In addition, if the LLP chooses to satisfy the malpractice liability requirement by confirming the minimum net worth, the LLP must also complete and file a Limited Liability Partnership Alternative Security Provision transmittal form (Secretary of State Form LLP-3) with the Secretary of State. Upon receipt, the Secretary of State's Office will review the registration form for statutory compliance. Once the document is filed, the Secretary of State will return a file-stamped copy of the LLP-1, plus a Certificate of Registration to the limited liability partnership.
To register a change in the LLP, one or more authorized partners must complete and submit a Limited Liability Partnership Amendment to Registration (Secretary of State Form LLP-2) along with a filing fee to the Secretary of State. To register cancellation or dissolution of the LLP, one or more authorized partners must complete a Notice of Change of Status (Secretary of State Form LLP-4) and submit it with a filing fee.
NOTE: On September 29, 2006, the Governor of California signed Assembly Bill 2341, eliminating the need for a tax clearance certificate. This legislation streamlined the process for dissolving, or canceling the existence of business entities. Before this law was enacted, certain business entities, i.e., foreign corporations had to meet requirements of the Franchise Tax Board, before the Secretary of State (SOS) would grant the business's request to terminate. Passage of AB 2341 remedies this situation. For more information, refer to Eliminating the Need for a Tax Clearance Certificate later in this section.
For additional information regarding registration of limited liability partnerships, contact:

Supervisors: Plans for LongHorn Steakhouse advance
Restaurant eyed for land near toy store at Lycoming Mall; no timetable set
May 9, 2013
PENNSDALE — The parent company of LongHorn Steakhouse is planning to locate a restaurant at 300 Lycoming Mall Circle in Muncy Township, according to supervisors....
And a good location also, unlike the Buffalo Wild Wings place going in on the strip between Dennys & Nothway. Plenty traffic there already.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, of Florida, conducted some testing of the "First in the Nation" waters at Wentworth-By-The-Sea Friday night, knocking Democrats and possible 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton as creatures of the past.
"Their ideas never worked in the 20th century, much less the 21st, and they're threatening to nominate someone now who wants to take us to the past, to an era that is gone and is never coming back," Rubio said.
Rubio fired up a full house of New Hampshire Republicans Friday. His optimism led some to compare him favorably to Ronald Reagan.
"I think he has a great deal of similarities," said former state Rep. Julie Brown.
Brown was Reagan's Rochester city campaign chair in 1980 and 1984. If Rubio runs for president, Brown said he will have her support.
"We need that kind of man in Washington to help us because we are dismal right now," Brown said. "Washington is dismal."
Many who attended Friday's event said they saw Rubio as a shot in the arm for the GOP.
"His energy matches the energy in this room tonight," said Eddie Edwards of South Hampton.
"He's got a lot of passion and energy, and I think that's important for Republicans. But what we want to know is do you have the experience to lead?" said Derry Town Councilor Mark Osborne.

• DATATOP (Deprenyl and tocopherol antioxidative therapy of parkinsonism) is a placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to test the hypothesis that long-term treatment of patients with early Parkinson's disease with deprenyl 10 mg/d and/or tocopherol (vitamin E) 2000 IU/d will extend the time until disability requires therapy with levodopa (primary end point). At 28 US and Canadian sites, 800 eligible patients in the early stages of untreated Parkinson's disease were enrolled in DATATOP and randomized to (1) active deprenyl, (2) active tocopherol, (3) active deprenyl and tocopherol, or (4) placebo treatments. Subjects are being evaluated systematically at regular intervals over 2 years to determine if and when the primary end point of disability is attained. At baseline evaluation, our cohort represented minimally disabled patients with Parkinson's disease who did not require symptomatic anti-Parkinson's disease medications. Despite an almost 2:1 representation of male-female subjects, no selection biases were identified that might confound the primary end-point analysis. This large DATATOP cohort is expected to provide a high likelihood (power) for detecting significant treatment effects, if indeed they exist.

Strikeforce is dead, Zuffa are pure scum plain and simple there is no dignity left for fighters, its bow down and suck Danas dick ot go fight in some 2 pence promotion
My god BAMMA needs to do it, BAMMA needs to grow strong gain respect, get the support it needs get the cash from somewhere anywhere some billionaire investor please buy that promotion get the show on Sky Sports and give the best fighters in the world a place where they can compete and keep the dignity without having to suck Zuffa pipe, judge them not on if they go along to there interview, say the right world to hype up there fights or what they tweet on the social disgrace to humanity network that is tweeter, but instead on there ability to fight.
The fact that Zuffa abuse the power they hold over the MMA market, and can dismiss some of the best fighters in the world over a fcuking tweet is disgusting, what is a tweet anyway really, its a fcuking meaningless pile a random bull shit, a tweet should be taken about as seriously as a Canadian playing football.
OK the commission wants to in force some type of punishment that kind of bull shit, fair play its public I guess so let the commission to there part and regulate the consequences, now all we need if for a promotion there part and support there fcuking fighters and turn its focus on signing the best talent and not on the personal comments made by the fighters, give the best fighters a place to fcuking fight and stop trying to run there lifes and making them sign your theme tune while there force to take a mouth full of Zuffs pipe juice.
Am sorry but Zuffa are a joke they take Chung fcuking Lei into the UFC put pass up on Fedor, they drop one of the worlds top LHW's in his prime while the division besides a select few is in shambles and in process of the biggest slump in MMA history.
Its times like this where I really hope there is a Hell, please please please let there be a hell and let all the Zuffa puppets meet up there for all eternity, if there is a hell then surly Dana White has to go there, he has to how could there be any other option available to that sorry excuse of a person, no way not a chance how could heaven even exist also if Dana was a there am been very serious any plain of existence where Dana White is in existence could never be classed as heaven, so I really hope that these places exist because we all know there is only one place for Dana if these beliefs turn out to be real.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Seventy-seven-year-old Barbara Viner was a happy toddler, playing with her siblings, living with her parents in a small house with a thatched roof, in a small village in the Ukraine.
"We were happy then. We did not know yet that a ghetto would be created, or that people would die," she said.
The Stamford, Conn., resident, was the keynote speaker during the "Days of Remembrance" program hosted by Golden Years Adult Day Care Center, Stapleton, and the Staten Island Community Center, in collaboration with the First Central Family Life Center and the Stop Anti-Semitism Foundation.
The day focused on the commemoration of the Holocaust, as well as the atrocities of American slavery and other past and present victims of mass atrocities throughout the world. Presenters also included the Rev. Demetrius Carolina of Central Family Life Center, and Wagner College history Professors Dr. Lori Weintrob and Rita Reynolds.
But it was Mrs. Viner's poignant testimony that had the audience, many of them seniors from the neighborhood, listening raptly, and some dabbing away tears.
"I was five-years-old, and I remember this better than what I had to eat today," she said. She told of the day German officers came to her village, "with swastikas on their sleeves" and rounded up the Jews, herding them into a "ghetto" and forcing them to wear a yellow star of David on their clothing. "It was a nightmare."
And the "nightmare" grew worse. Soldiers would return to the "ghetto" and round up more Jews, shooting them dead, throwing their bodies into pits, or herding them behind a barbed-wire fence where they would be separated into the "showers" to be gassed.
Mrs. Viner -- who is the aunt of Golden Years director Raisa Shinder, who invited her to speak -- told of a village woman, Rifka, "who had beautiful black hair and skin like Elizabeth Taylor" who played dead. A German soldier stomped on her to make sure she wasn't faking. Then, some time later, she made her way back to the ghetto. "Her beautiful black hair had turned all white."
"Our whole existence was fear and hunger," Mrs. Viner said. "I am so happy I survived, and am here to tell you this story. We must never forget."

Lake Michigan-Huron water level near record low
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. -- Water levels on Lakes Michigan and Huron barely missed a record low in October, continuing a downward trend caused by drought and evaporation, federal officials said Wednesday.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which tracks Great Lakes ups and downs, recorded Michigan-Huron at 576.6 feet above sea level for October. That's 1.5 inches above the lowest point for that month since the agency began keeping records in 1918, and about 6 inches above the all-time low recorded in March 1964.
Michigan and Huron are considered one lake from a hydrological perspective because they have the same surface level and are connected at their northern ends by the 5-mile-wide Straits of Mackinac.
All the lakes were below their long-term averages for the month and lower than a year ago because of an abnormal lack of snow last winter and the hot, dry summer, said Keith Kompoltowicz, a hydrologist with the Army Corps district office in Detroit. A wetter-than-usual October that included Superstorm Sandy has made only a slight difference.
"We would need several months and several seasons in a row" of generous rainfall and snowmelt to restore the lakes to their historical averages, Kompoltowicz said.
The storm probably raised the easternmost lakes -- Erie and Ontario -- and perhaps gave a slight boost to Huron and Michigan, he said. But those gains could be offset by the seasonal decline that takes place every fall and winter. Levels tend to rise in spring and summer, fed by rain and melting snow.
"There's a constant battle between how much rain and runoff is coming into the lakes versus how much is leaving through evaporation," Kompoltowicz said. "This time of year, evaporation usually wins out."
Low levels have been a concern on most of the Great Lakes since a drop-off in the late 1990s. They cut into cargo shippers' profits by forcing them to carry lighter loads. They cause shallow water in marinas, dry up wetlands crucial for wildlife, and cause vegetation to grow on beaches.
The Army Corps is scheduled to release a six-month lake levels forecast Monday.

The fall and rise of the house of Addams
WHEN JOHN ASTIN AND HIS THEN wife-to-be, Valerie Sandoball, were dining in a Los Angeles restaurant a couple of years ago, they heard a distracting finger-snapping sound all around their table. It wasn't customers demanding service. The diners were paying spontaneous homage to Astin, his cult TV series and its enduring theme: dah da da dum—Click! Click!
And no wonder. Although The Addams Family lasted only two seasons (1964-66), the ABC sitcom—based on New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams's macabre vision of a family that cherishes pain the way other people welcome spring—hasn't exactly laid down and played dead. Twelve episodes are out on videocassette, and a paperback history (The Addams Chronicles by Stephen Cox) recently hit bookstores. Now a Hollywood incarnation—starring Anjelica Huston as slinky Morticia and Raul Julia as her pinstriped, rhapsodically romantic husband, Gomez—is doing frighteningly well at the box office ($24 million in its first weekend).
"Eventually I'll see the movie," says Astin, 61, who just finished starring in the L.A. production of Lend Me a Tenor, "but I haven't even seen Thelma & Louise yet."
None of the surviving cast members were considered for the film. Sadly, there wouldn't have been that many to consider. Blossom Rock (haggish Grandmama) died in her 80s in 1978; the 6'9" Ted Cassidy, who lurked sublimely as butler Lurch, died, at 46, a year later during heart surgery. Jackie Coogan (gleeful, ghoulish Uncle Fester) suffered a fatal heart attack at age 69 in 1984. And Carolyn Jones (Morticia) lost her struggle with cancer in 1983. She was 54.
In addition to playing the tantalizing Morticia, Jones also provided some of the squeaky gibberish—her voice, speeded up electronically—that came from beneath the floor-length mat of hair that was Cousin Itt, played by 3'11" Felix Silla. "The show was so much fun," says Silla, 54. "At the end of the day you didn't feel tired."
The Addams children, though, may have been less enthusiastic. Ken Weatherwax (Pugsley), now 37, and Lisa Loring (Wednesday), 33, have grown up and, for now, out of acting. Loring, in fact, matured very fast: marriage at 15, baby (the first of two daughters) at 16, divorce at 17. (There have been two marriages since; her current husband is porn star Paul Siederman.) Her one significant acting credential since the series was a two-year stint as Cricket Montgomery on As the World Turns in the early 1980s. Weather-wax, still pudgy, now works behind the television camera as a grip—and is disinclined to reminisce. Says his mother, Marge: "He builds sets, and he loves the work." As for The Addams Family, "He didn't like doing the show," she says, "but he liked the people." Click! Click!

It's reasonable to assume that any muscle car that doesn't look like a barn find nowadays has been restored at some point over the last 15-20 years, so at first glance, this 1972 Hurst/Olds sunroof coupe for sale on Hemmings.com looks as though it too has been treated to a full restoration. Not so, apparently. From the seller's description:
This car is considered an extremely original survivor car, #s matching 455 V8 UA 455 w/o AC motor delivers 270hp, also, a #s match TH400 automatic trans. orig. 3.23 anti-spin axle. One of 220 with a power sunroof option makes this Hurst very collectible. Built in Lansing, MI, the 1st week in April 1972. Previously sold from Dewar Olds in Johnstown, PA, comes with a PA title according to other previous owner history. The car went to Vermont around 2004 and sold to a collector in NH. Unfortunately the PA state the miles are exempt because of its age, but there is no question this is a completely orig car and the mileage is believable. Straight body lines, orig gold stripes, factory half-vinyl roof with orig Hurst Olds logos. Completely orig weather strip, door window felts, chrome bumpers that are in excellent orig unrestored condition. Brightwork, stainless that is also completely original. Rust-free door bottoms, perfect alignment of hood, doors and rear decklid. Original body color on the underside of the floors, orig exhaust, except new tailpipes. orig spiral shocks, F41 suspension, solid frame, all orig front end components, orig 14″ SS III wheels, however, they could use refinishing. Under the hood has all its orig components; ps, pfdb, orig Delco Moraine brake power booster. No modifications, only minor touch-up on the top of the engine. New date coded spark plug wires. Orig belts and radiator hoses, orig Harrison radiator with orig UC tag. Ram Air air cleaner element, S-tube, heat shield still in place. Nice clean inner plastic fender liners, clean orig paint on inner fender jambs. Orig W-25 Ram Air hood. The interior is unmistakably original and in superior condition. Black Strato bucket seats, console with dual gate shifter, perfect orig steering wheel, orig door panels, headliner, rear pkg tray, dash pad, seat covers and instrument cluster that is simply stunning. All the interior trim pieces, door hardware have a brilliant luster to them. Factory seat belts, in perfect condition, shoulder belts, AM radio, day/might mirror with courtesy light, driver's side remote mirror and light group. Doors that open and close with a simple touch. A well preserved car in that the orig weather strip still looks like new. Most impressive is the trunk. Orig G-60 14″ Goodyear Polysteel radial tire that has never been down. Orig back and trunk mat. Factory orig spatter paint, never exposed to moisture what so ever. Considered a true time capsule, never restored. Owner history car with under 10,000 miles. Items not original to the car are the 4 tires and battery, spark plug wires and 2 tailpipes.
See more Oldsmobiles for sale on Hemmings.com.
It's a good price for a great car. But in the State I live in, which is run by incompetents, gas is so expensive that going to the store constitutes a national holiday.
Gorgeous car, but I'd definitely want to check the casting numbers and stamping on the block; the casting codes for the heads should be a G with a lower-case "A", but the casting letter looks a lot like a regular old "C"-head from a '68-'69 big-block. If that's been changed, you've got to wonder what else has been changed. Then again, it *might* be a G, and the picture is just not clear enough to tell. The casting number would tell what it is precisely, though.
Thats not a bad price for this car. Not many were made like this. I don't know the exact numbers but I'm sure its lower than a comparable Chevelle of the same year and probaly a more comfortable car to drive.
All automatic 455 4bbls ("U" code 5th digit in the vin) in the "A" bodies in '72 were 250 hp. "V" code 4spds were 270 hp and all W30's were 300 hp.
The rallye wheels should not have chrome rims-should be trim rings-those are either late model ones or they were chromed at some point. Hard to tell without a closeup. Nice car, though.
I thought this car looked familiar! I drove and cleaned this car when I worked in the detail shop at Jim Dewar Olds in the early 90s! Mr. Dewar had four cars in his collection, this one, a black 40 Olds 4dr, a red & white 55 Olds 4dr, and a silver Delta 88 convertible that made an appearance in the Paul Newman movie Slap Shot. These cars were always stored in a garage he had in Somerset, PA. When a big sales event was planned at the dealership, he would sometimes have these cars cleaned up and put on display in the showroom. I never recall them ever being driven except for when we would being them to the dealership or take them back to be stored. It was a thrill the one and only time I got to drive this car back to its storage garage. And I drove it with great care as I knew even at that age what a treasure this vehicle was! I was just out of high school, and owned a 71 Chevelle at that time, so it was great to drive another GM A body. I never realized how rare it was with that unique sunroof option. That mileage is accurate, as I remember it was under 10,000 miles then. Exact miles then, maybe 8,000 or 9,000, not sure, but definately under 10,000 miles. And I do not know how accurate or true the story was, but I remember being told it was purchased by a young gentleman who was killed in Vietnam, and his family sold it back to Mr. Dewar. The Dewar Olds dealership traded hands a few years ago, and was just demolished over this past year.
Steve, I purchased my 1969 H/O at Dewar's on 26 July 1969 and still own it. I lived in Central City. I had it frame off restored 2 years ago. I have been trying to locate a Jim Dewar License plate holder…I have the original, but part of it is broken off. Would you happen to know if there are any around?
[…] find of the day: 1972 Hurst/Olds Article from Hemmings blog http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2…972-hurstolds/ Reply With […]

Pregame stretch, 10.14.11
October 13, 2011 - Ray Eckenrode
Purdue (3-2) vs. Penn State (5-1)
Noon Saturday, Big Ten Network
Announcers: Tom Hart, Derek Rackley and Lisa Byington
Annoyance factor: Toto, we don't think we're in Kansas anymore. After the excellent effort ABC put forth last week, we think we're due for a letdown with this BTN crew of unknowns. We'll keep an open mind. Always of interest to us when we encounter a new sideline reporter is to see how and if they handle the halftime interview with Joe, which is now one of the toughest gigs in the business. It's hard enough trying to get anything near insightful out of any football coach during a game, let alone one that can't hear you and is in pain.
Line: Penn State -12
Smarts say: Vegas was burned on the over/under last week and this one, at 39, is a full five points lower. However, we're still talking about PSU scoring six times (2 TDs and 4 FGs) to get it in the 26-13 range.
Quick hits:
+ From "The More Things Change…" file: Cory Giger's story this week (linked at top right) on Penn State's current red zone woes caught our attention, mainly because of this quote from Penn State Passing Coordinator/Quarterback Coach/Majordomo Jay Paterno:
"I think one of the things that we've got to do, we've got to come up with that big play from the 30-yard line going in where we get an easy one."
Hmmm, interesting idea, improve your red zone woes by scoring before you get there. Now why does that sound familiar? Why, why, why? Where have we heard that idea before? Um, wait, we know, it was almost one year ago to the day WHEN WE WROTE IT. From an Oct. 1, 2010, blog (linked at top right) about – drum roll, please – Penn State's red zone woes!!!!:
TIP #1: SCORE BEFORE YOU GET THERE – While that might sound smart alecky, we're dead serious. The potential reward of avoiding the red zone completely is worth the risk of taking at least one shot at the end zone every single time you cross the opponents' 40.
Now, talk about your mixed feelings. Should we feel honored a coach at a (semi) major D-1 program is echoing one of our cockamamie schemes? Should we feel angry that it took him a year to do so? Should we feel embarrassed that it's Jay? Or, for our next trick, should we set on sights on teaching Jay when to properly call a screen pass?
Of course, we don't really think Jay Paterno is reading "15 Minutes" and stealing our ideas. That would be like someone stealing plays from a football video game.
The pick:If we assume (we know, we know) that Penn State's defense will keep Purdue somewhere in the 10- to 17-point range, this game comes down to the Nittany Lions offense scoring three touchdowns. And it does not take much to figure out how Purdue will approach this game defensively with Derek Moye out of the gruesome twosome in. Look for the Boilermakers to drop a safety down frequently to try and blunt Penn State's rushing game. We'd expect to see Purdue blitz Rob Bolden who has yet to show any ability to make quick reads and throws. We'd expect them to drop into coverage on Matt McGloin, who's lacking his favorite deep threat and who's shown he's prone to mistakes if you make him mount long drives to score. Unless Purdue's front seven is just as bad as Iowa's was, we expect that means the Nits will have to complete some first-down passes to get things moving and we expect they'll struggle to do that…. PSU 20-13.
Last week: We were wrong on both counts last week, dropping us to 4-2 against the spread and 5-1 straight up.
Jacksonville vs. Pittsburgh
1 p.m. Sunday, CBS
Announcers: Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts
Annoyance factor: At this point, anything is better than Dierdorf again. Eagle is solid if unspectacular. Fouts became somewhat of a folk hero in Pittsburgh last November when during a game against the Raiders he called out officials for going overboard calling violent hit penalties on the Steelers, saying they should "put a skirt" on quarterback Jason Campbell after James Harrison was called for one of six personal fouls called that afternoon.
Referee: Ron Winter
Competence factor: The Steelers have had a run of above average officiating recently but that will come to an end Sunday when Referee Ron Winter and his flag-happy crew come to town. After calling 20 penalties during the Monday night game in Week 4, Winter's crew was off last week, no doubt updating their eyeglass prescriptions and resting up their throwing arms. Budget some extra time for watching this game.
The line: Pittsbugh -12
Smarts say:The Steelers strong showing last week and the Jags' el-foldo act left little doubt this would be a double-digit spread. With a relatively low over/under of 40.5, Vegas sees something in the range of 27-14 Pittsburgh.
Quick hits:
+ There's been a lot of hand-wringing and grousing so far this year about what's "wrong" with Rashard Mendenhall. All of it overlooks the most obvious answer (that's been forecast here many times): Mendenhall is on the downward slope of his career. In today's NFL, the window of production for a running back has closed dramatically and a back who merits a second big contract (the Ravens have such a decision coming up with Ray Rice) is rare. When Mendenhall recorded his first 1,000-yard season in 2009, we noted here that the Steelers "wasted" it by not making the playoffs. We forecast then that he might only have two more 1000-yard efforts in him and it's looking like that might not even be the case. Mendenhall recorded 566 carries in 2009 and 2010 and he was punished physically for nearly every one of them. That punishment has more to do with his injury-filled and underperforming 2011 season than any speculation about the effect of his ill-advised offseason Twitter dump. Keep in mind, we're not saying with certainty that Mendenhall is done. We don't think we've seen a large enough sample yet in 2011 to make that call. We're just saying that if you're looking for a reason why his injuries are up and his production is down, apply Occam's Razor and start with the most obvious answer.
+ The Steelers can get a rather large monkey off their collective backs Sunday by finally beating Jacksonville in Pittsburgh, where the Jags are 3-0 all time, including a bitter and controversial playoff victory in 2007. The 31-29 playoff win became bulletin board material again this week when Mike Tomlin abruptly ended his conference call with Jacksonville reporters after about four minutes when he felt they were dwelling on questions about that game, the last of Tomlin's first season in Pittsburgh. Readers of this blog will remember the game as one where Tomlin foolishly went for two two-point conversions in the fourth quarter, missed on both of them and wound up losing by two points. But Steelers fans in general remember the fateful 4th-and-2 scramble by David Garrard that sealed the win but also eventually led to a letter of apology from the NFL, which admitted officials missed not one, not two but three blatant holds on the play, against LaMarr Woodley, Casey Hampton and James Harrison. (Click the link at upper right to re-watch the play, paying special attention to the tackle of Hampton as Garrard dashes by.) We're not sure what's behind Tomlin's antics because becoming prickly over something that happened four years ago does not fit his MO. In any event, we're hoping the incident serves to motivate the Steelers and not awaken the Jags.
The pick: If you think the Jags can't win this game, you're wrong for three reasons: Maurice. Jones. Drew. OK, that's one reason, but it's a doozy. Jones-Drew has absolutely killed the Steelers historically and is a big reason they are 3-0 at Heinz Field against Pittsburgh. Of course, it's not David Garrard getting the ball to MJD this time, it's rookie Blaine Gabbert. To say rookie quarterbacks haven't fared well against the Steelers is an understatement so the Jags will be trying to keep the game out of Gabbert's hands and rest it on Pocket Hercules' legs. You can figure Jacksonville will be ready to defend the three-step drop offense the Steelers showed last week, so that makes the running game even more critical this week. Minimizing turnovers remains the single biggest factor influencing the Steelers play and if Rashard Mendenhall can hang onto the ball Sunday, its' … Steelers 24-17.
Last week: We foresaw a close Steelers win last week, which was half right. We're now 3-2 straight up and 2-3 vs. the spread.

Ducks' Cogliano an iron man
ANAHEIM – Five years into the NHL and Andrew Cogliano has never been a healthy scratch, never been sent to the minors and never had an illness or injury serious enough to keep him in the press box.
Since he entered the league out of the University of Michigan, Cogliano has never missed a game and that string stretched to 400 in a row on Friday in the Ducks' 4-2 loss to the Kings.
Hockey is a fast-paced, often violent game where freak injuries can often occur or players can get hurt on the receiving end of a big hit. Just look at all the concussions that plagued the NHL this season.
And yet Cogliano has been able to avoid all that. Is it just a case of good luck? The versatile forward is fine with that.
"I just try to keep playing," Cogliano said Saturday after practice. "That's the only thing I can really think of. Try to be someone that can do different things and be serviceable.
"In terms of injury-wise, I'm just trying to stay lucky. I guess I think that's the most important thing of what I've done. Knock on wood. It's always nice to play that many games. Keep going."
From the beginning, Cogliano was put in a position to put any kind of streak together as the first-round pick of Edmonton in 2005 made the rebuilding Oilers out of camp and was immediately seen as a potential core player for their present and future.
Cogliano, 24, has since moved on to the Ducks through a trade and is now in the first of a three-year, $7.17 million contract he signed this summer. There is certainly built-in incentive to play him given how much is invested but his versatility and ability to play in a number of situations has been an asset.
With 12 goals and 13 assists this season, Cogliano's numbers are in line with what he has done in the past two seasons but the Ducks believe that he is capable of more.
"He certainly brings energy," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "When he's on, he's a very good player. I think I'd like him to be a little more consistent. And if he was a little more consistent, he probably would be getting into the 15-to-20-goal plateau because his speed gets him a lot of goals.
"I think that'll come. It's his first year here. They probably played a different structure. I see him as a future winger rather than a center man but, again, that goes according to what your personnel is. It's great that he can play all three forward positions."
Asked how he would grade his season, Cogliano thought for a moment and accurately said that "it's been up and down" and that he's had to go through the transition of playing for a new team and two new coaches after Randy Carlyle was fired at the end of November.
"There's definitely positives that I'm going to take out of the year and I'm hoping to have a strong 10 games to finish up the year," Cogliano said. "Definitely I will take the positives. And I'll look at the negatives and what I need to get better at.
"The one thing about me is that I'm a guy who always wants to find answers and put my best foot forward. I want to work hard and I always want to improve."
Cam Fowler exhaled on the bench after snapping a 47-game streak without a goal when he scored in the second period against the Kings. It wouldn't matter much by the end but it did let the defenseman know that he hadn't forgotten how to find the back of the net.
"It was just kind of a weight lifted off your shoulders," Fowler said. "Having the success last year (and) scoring 10 goals, I guess I was a little spoiled. It felt like forever since I scored."

LOCKPORT - A sparsely attended public meeting Tuesday saw advocates for Lockport's poor and disabled try to obtain continued funding for a little-used bus route.
The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority announced last week it will shut down Bus 201, a nine-times-a-day circulator route in the City and Town of Lockport, in December - unless Niagara County comes up with funding.
During a fiscal crisis earlier this year that saw service cutbacks, the NFTA had planned to stop the Metrolink route in May, but the agency decided to keep it rolling after protests from activists led by the faith-based Niagara Organizing Alliance for Hope, or NOAH.
However, average daily ridership has moved from 39 passengers in the first quarter of the year to 43 now, and the fare box brings in 6 percent of the daily cost of operating the service, NFTA spokesman C. Douglas Hartmayer said last week.
NFTA Commissioner Henry M. Sloma, who attended Tuesday's meeting in the Dale Association along with State Sen. George D. Maziarz, told the audience of about a dozen that the authority is currently being audited.
"One of the things said to our staff was, 'We're surprised you didn't cut more routes,' " Sloma said.
In February, Sloma urged the County Legislature to come up with $1 million for the NFTA in addition to the share of the mortgage recording tax, which brings the authority about $900,000 a year.
County leaders haven't responded to that request, although Legislature Chairman William L. Ross, C-Wheatfield, told Karen Carroll of NOAH Tuesday that he would be glad to meet with her about that.
Ross, who did not attend the meeting, said the county has its own budgetary problems, with declining revenue, significant state-mandated increases in employee pension contributions and the need to comply with the 2 percent property tax cap.
Sloma acknowledged, "This is the wrong time for this to come up for the county."
"The heart of the matter is funding," Carroll said. "To date, the Legislature has been underfunding transportation in Niagara County. . All the routes in Niagara County are in jeopardy."
The county is spending about $166,000 this year on its own bus service. The Rural Transportation Service offers rides from outlying areas of the county to the county's cities and to Niagara County Community College.
Maziarz, R-Newfane, said he was under the impression that the county and the NFTA were going to discuss linking up the two services to preserve "at least an acceptable level of service" in Lockport.
Social Services Commissioner Anthony J. Restaino, whose department operates the rural bus service, said in a telephone interview that the county's schedule doesn't link up well with the NFTA's.
Bus 201 serves public housing and mobile home parks, connecting them with shopping areas in Lockport.

A quartet of "farm-friendly" birds of prey, all with populations in decline across Pennsylvania, are the focus of a new statewide effort by Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Association, Kempton.
To help conserve the northern harrier, short-eared owl, barn owl and American kestrel, staff from HMSA will first seek reports of the birds' presence from landowners to map successful breeding areas across the state.
"A lot of these grassland birds occur in areas that are very rural," explained Laurie Goodrich, senior monitoring biologist with the association. "There's often not a birdwatcher on every corner" to be making reports on sightings there.
She hopes the Farm-Friendly Raptor Project will lead farmers and other rural landowners to "get excited about becoming a part of this citizen science effort across the state."
The project also will develop a website to involve even more people in the effort by providing materials about the birds, their habitats and identification keys, and stage public programs about the project and the birds in various venues.
"This will give us a better idea of the distribution of these species in the state and then we'll know where to focus in coming up with partnerships to improve the numbers of these species and hopefully get them off the (endangered, threatened or special concern species) lists or keep them off," she said.
Staff will then work with landowners to provide nestboxes for the birds and enhance grassland habitats on their properties to provide more and improved nesting and hunting sites./p
The birds can benefit farmers because they prey on mice, voles, grasshoppers and a wide range of insects.
For example, "if you had a barn owl on your property you might need to use less pesticide," noted Goodrich.
"We see the farmers as the real opportunity here," she explained. "This is something that will benefit the birds and the farmers, but we feel like we haven't reached out to them."
Goodrich describe the effort as "a little bit of an experiment" to learn the level of engagement with the birds will be possible with the landowners.
In Hawk Mountain's work with kestrels, staff has seen amazing buy-in by landowners.
They've been working with the small birds of prey since the 1960s, first in farmland at the base of the mountain in northern Berks County and expanding into a four-county area in the 1990s. They currently manage more than 200 nestboxes.
"People love their kestrels," she observed. "Landowners become very protective of their kestrels."
Pennsylvania Game Commission biologists have worked with farmers for decades, primarily on issues relating to huntable species like pheasants, but more recently on barn owls as well.
Goodrich hopes established networks will ease the path for the upcoming work with farmland raptors, which has been launched with a grant of about $39,000 from the state Wild Resource Conservation Fund.
The grant doesn't provide any money for nestboxes, but Goodrich's team will reach out to Boy Scouts looking for Eagle projects, as well as other groups wanting to contribute to conservation efforts.

Girl With a Pearl Earring
How frickin' hard up for subject matter do you have to be to make a movie about painter Johannes Vermeer? Anyone associated with this movie ever hear of Rembrandt? Michelangelo? Picasso? For Christ's sake, Vermeer isn't even on the list of "Top 100 Painters I'd Watch a Movie About." Frankly, I think he's probably a couple of notches down from Bob Ross.
Sadly, Tracy Chevalier has tried to imagine the situation that led to the painting of "Girl with a Pearl Earring" with her book of the same name. So now we're forced to sit through a couple of hours of Vermeer's life when we could have been learning about a more important painter. Obviously, if you learn something juicy about Rembrandt, you can mention that and people will respect you. Bringing up little factoids about Rembrandt might even get you laid. But if you bring up Vermeer in casual conversation, even humanities majors are likely to drop their white-whine spritzers and give you a good ass-kicking.
The filmmakers focus on the idea of inspiration since they seem to think this particular painting is interesting. Griet (Scarlett Johansson) is a lowly peasant girl who becomes the subject of the painting. She goes to work for Vermeer (Colin Firth), and they grow increasingly close as he shows her decency and sees something in her.
The bottom line is that Griet eventually sits down, puts a pearl earring in her ear, and Vermeer paints her as she sits. I cannot think of a less exciting subject for a film.

Letters to the editor: Deaths of 'angels' can't be in vain
Something is wrong here! You can't buy a large soft drink in New York; red dye is banned from our foods; cough medicine is not kept on shelves; Pennsylvania residents can't buy fireworks at local fireworks stores. But buying an assault weapon with ammunition drums that can fire 100 rounds in less than a minute is as easy as getting on the Internet or going to a gun show.
True sportsmen who target shoot and hunt are not the culprits. The offenders are those who demand extreme firepower and use the Second Amendment as a crutch to strengthen their macho image that they can't defend unless they have extreme firepower to instill fear.
It made me sick to see men wearing holsters when President Barack Obama was running for office. What makes these people think we want a holstered man in our presence at public functions unless it is a law officer?
I am also sick of hearing the National Rifle Association leaders continually claim that "people kill people and not guns." We are approaching 40,000 gun deaths a year in the United States, while a country like Japan, which has strict gun control laws, had 11 in 2011. The U.S. averages almost 100 gun deaths a day and England, with strict gun laws, has almost none.
I have been on this earth for 68 years and grew up in a tough neighborhood and worked in inner city schools with rough kids, but I have never ever been in a situation to carry a sidearm, let alone an assault weapon. I think the NRA's philosophy that having everyone be armed will keep crime down is garbage.
I hope our government and the NRA would just take a few minutes from their day and read the list of dead from Newtown, Conn., and try not to cry when they see the list of victims with the ages 6 and 7 next to their names. I should say angels and not victims, because those angels are surely in heaven. I hope their deaths were not in vain!

Privatizing lottery
prompts questions
While the cry for privatization as the cure for everything is nothing new, I am puzzled by the steps taken toward handing over management of our state lottery to a foreign company for the next 20 to 30 years ("Lottery deal windfall likely," Erie Times-News, Dec. 14).
There are undeniably many great examples of successful commercial enterprises, but the dogged perception that a company can do better than a governmental agency indeed defies critical judgment.
Gov. Tom Corbett and Secretary of Aging Brian Duke have not even attempted to make a serious case for using citizens' money to pay for the commercial sellout of a successful program, yet they are intent on going through with the handover without any substantive discussion, oversight or analysis, let alone legislative review.
Between Erie's new rural designation, the decimation of environmental oversight, the destruction of services vital to our most vulnerable, and now this, Gov. Corbett seems eager to serve as the new archetype of bad governance and poor leadership.

Bismarck's idea
bad for seniors
Robert Cogan's letter talks about giving up part of our "constitutional general welfare" ("Will tea partyers be duped on cuts?" Erie Times-News, Dec. 13). This clause is in the Constitution but has been debated as to what it means.
To find the intent of the Founders who wrote the document, all we have to do is read the "Federalist Papers," where they explain what they mean. James Madison explains in Federalist Paper #41 that this part of the document is really part of the preamble that means "in order to." He then goes on to explain that the rest of the Constitution explains "how." Nowhere does the document bestow on the federal government the right to remove the assets of one group to give directly to another.
Maybe this misunderstanding is why we read about that small group of people standing outside of our congressman's office demanding that the government seize the assets of productive Americans and give them to people who did not earn them.
As far as Social Security goes, the system was implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he was not the originator. The system was conceived by Otto Von Bismarck in the late 1800s and subscribed to, and set in place by Adolf Hitler. Hitler idolized Otto and FDR also admired him.
In 1940, there were 159 contributors for every person. In 1950, it was 16.5 to 1. In 2010, it had dropped to 3 to 1 and now about 2.9 to one. How "secure" is that? The only way it can continue is to raise the revenue or cut the benefits. We must protect the elderly, but we should be creative enough to provide a better system than the failed system conceived in the late 1800s, subscribed to by Adolf Hitler, and sold to the American people as the solution to poverty.

Turnpike group
defends stance
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission welcomes the scrutiny of the auditor general and the many independent audits performed on our operations or finances each year.
Contrary to the auditor general's assertion, we cooperated fully throughout the performance audit ("Auditor rips turnpike passes," Erie Times-News, Dec. 11).
We also take exception to the most recent report regarding access to our system for employees and contractors.
The turnpike operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and our employees need 24-hour access to our system. In 2011 alone, our employees made nearly 10,000 calls from the roadway to our operations center to report and ensure prompt response to incidents, making the turnpike safer for our customers.
From a business perspective, it makes no sense to charge a contractor working on a road project a toll -- only to reimburse them for the toll paid. The cost of the additional paperwork and accounting time would far outweigh any potential cost savings.
In the past two years, we have begun to review the access we provide and more closely monitor usage. This ongoing review reflects our commitment to improving our operations.
In recent months, we have changed our procurement process and created the Office of Compliance and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to provide more transparency, accountability and competition.
We will continue seeking ways to improve our operations to provide our 510,000 daily customers with safe and convenient travel.

If you told Andy Reid he tabbed both his draft selections last night higher than they'd figured to go, Reid probably wouldn't disagree.
But the Eagles' coach contended that the nature of this draft, after the first round, led to teams targeting players and grabbing them, even if they might be taking them above their strict grades.
The Eagles went for Temple safety Jaiquawn Jarrett with the 54th selection in the second round. Then the Birds completed their night with unheralded Utah State corner Curtis Marsh in the third round. Corner might have been the team's most pressing need heading into the draft, but it is hard to imagine Marsh, a converted running back with 2 years under his belt at corner, starting this coming season across from Asante Samuel.

I just came across this. What's happened is that they've discovered another Vivaldi opera, and classical music blogger Jessica Duchen is less than thrilled:
Vivaldi was an astonishing character with a hugely colourful life. But isn't there a limit to how many of these rattly, twiddly baroque things the market can take? After all, most of them feature either a one-name title (eg Tomasso, Soltino, etc) or a massively long one (Il trionfo del blogorissimo classicale di Madamina Duchene), arias da carping hell for leather for several hours trying to sound inventive on the reprise (my favourite carp is to be found in halaszle, Hungarian fish soup), not to mention recycled bits and bobs from other works, a harpsichord sounding as harpsichords do, a swarm of wasps where the violins ought to be and a reluctance to cut even one note leading to hellishly uncomfortable theatrical experiences as the reverential principles of Richard Wagner are applied willynilly to music that was actually designed as background entertainment to business meetings, illicit love affairs and the odd bit of orange throwing.
Well said. Or to put it another way, the trouble with the authentic movement is that it isn't actually very authentic. But the real point here is not the alleged tedium of Vivaldi operas, so much as the exuberantly self-centred relish of her own eloquence with which Madamina Duchene writes about them. Lovely.
