A: If you'd like to find out when something will be back, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'd be happy to look that up for you. In your email, include the item and any sizes or colors, if applicable.
Q: May I pre-order an item that is out of stock?
A: Yes, you may (if it has a preorder button)! If there is no preorder button, you can send us an email at email@example.com and we can set up an order for you.
Pre-Order Policy
Purchase preorder items separately from in-stock items if you do not want your items held to wait for the preorder to come in. If you purchase them together, they will ship together, in most cases. If you separate your orders, they will ship separately.
Q: May I special order items?
A: If you'd like special quantities or colors, or if you don't see what you want, contact us by email or text to see if we can find and order these items for you. We are happy to help! firstname.lastname@example.com or 360-358-3387
Q: Do you offer gift wrapping?
A: At this time, we do not offer gift wrapping.
Q: Do you sell gift cards?
A: We do! We sell physical and electronic gift cards. Once an electronic gift card is purchased, we send the gift card code through email to the email address you provided at checkout. You may then forward the code to whomever it is intended.
Q: Can a sale price be applied to an order placed before or after a sale?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot apply discounts to orders that have been placed before a sale began or after a sale has ended.
Q: An item I wanted to buy sold out during a sale. Do you offer rainchecks for the sale price?
A: We don't offer rainchecks, and sale prices are limited to items on hand during the sale dates.
Discounts and Promo Codes
Q: I found a discount code for your shop online but it doesn't work. Why?
Only Promo Codes and Discount Codes sent to you through official Alder & Alouette communication channels are valid. Promo and discount codes found on other websites that we do not own are not valid and have been transmitted or created without our knowledge or permission.
Canceling Orders
Q: May I cancel or change my order after it's been placed?
A1. : Whether or not the cancellation is possible depends upon where your items are in the processing and shipping process. If you placed an order and then changed your mind, please contact us in writing via e-mail as soon as possible firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also text us at 360-358-3387.
A2: Cancellation if Your Order Has Not Shipped Yet
If your order has already been processed, but not shipped, there may be a small restocking fee to cover the cost of packing your order and the card processing fees we cannot recover. If there is a fee, it will be deducted from your refund when we cancel and refund your order. Currently, this fee is up to 4% of your purchase price.
A3: Cancellation if Your Order Has Already Shipped
If the order has already shipped, we are unable to cancel the order as it's already on its way.
Sales Tax
Q: Do you charge sales tax?
A: Currently, we only charge sales tax in Washington State. If you are in a state where sales tax is not charged, you are required to keep up with that purchase total and report it to your state under their State Usage Tax system.
Credit Card versus Debit Card
Q: Why do you recommend paying with a credit card instead of a debit card?
A: We recommend paying with a credit card instead of a debit card for a couple of reasons. Many credit cards offer extra insurance on products when purchased with a credit card. This is a nice, extra perk on your side in case the postal service or other delivery service loses or damages your package. We are not responsible for loss or damage caused by the shipping service.
In addition, because of internet fraud, some orders may be declined through our payment processor as a security feature to protect you based on certain filters, like address verification. If this happens and you used your debit card, your bank may put a hold on those funds until the transaction is no longer pending. This could take several days and during that time, those funds will not be available to you. We do not have control over this and unfortunately, cannot help you if this occurs. Using a credit card instead does not impact your bank account if your card is declined for any reason.
This also applies to order cancellations and refunds. If you are paying with a debit card or using something like PayPal or Venmo or other payment services connected to your bank account or a debit card, even though refunding or canceling your order is quick on our end, it must be referred back through card processors and the payment service before making it back to your bank account. This could take several days and during that time, those funds will not be available to you. We do not have control over this and unfortunately, cannot help you if this occurs.
Q: Do you cover my package if it is lost, mis-delivered or damaged during shipment?
A: The shipping services we use are separate companies from us, and we relinquish our responsibility to them once they pick up your package and leave our facility. Therefore, we do not cover your package if lost, mis-delivered or damaged during shipment by a shipping service. Please use your tracking number provided to file a claim with USPS or UPS if the lose or damage your package during transit.
Q: Do you ship Internationally?
A: Currently, we are only shipping to the United States and to Canada.
Q: Do you offer free shipping discounts?
A: Occasionally we may offer free shipping. When we do, you usually need to meet a price point and that range is somewhere between $129 to $199.
Q: What do you charge for shipping?
A: Our checkout is connected directly to USPS and UPS and so our shipping prices are determined by them. They base the shipping off a combination of factors, such as package dimensions, weight and the distance your package will travel.
Q: How long does it take to receive my order?
A: There are two different times that affect this answer: Processing Time and Shipping Time. Please see our shipping policy HERE.
Q: Will I receive a tracking number?
A: Once a shipping label has been created, you will receive a tracking number, though it may be the next business day before your package is actually picked up. If you cannot find a tracking number email sent to you, check your spam or junk folder. You can also log into the customer portal at any time to see tthe status of your package.
Q: How do I return or exchange a product?
A: See our Refund & Exchange Policy HERE for requirements and which items do not qualify for an exchange or return.
NOTE: We reserve the right to change our policies as needed and without warning or notice to you, the customer. Information on this page is not a guarantee.

Special Order items
Special Order items
If an item is marked as a Special Order item, that means we don't keep it here due to a lack of space (think stacks and stacks of lesson books, multiple large harps or large Waldorf play stands) and we order these items on demand from our distributor here in the Pacific NW.
It takes about 3 business days to reach us once they ship it out and then we forward it on directly to you. They generally process the order for shipping in 1-3 business days (peak shopping times, such as 'Back to School' in August/September for school, craft or lesson book bulk packs, for example, can take longer.) They're closed on weekends, holidays and for the last two weeks of December and the first two weeks of January so keep that in mind when ordering.

Frank Curreri, UFC - Rag-dolling opponents and bullying them with brute force has been the M.O. for both Mike Brown and Manny Gamburyan, so something will have to give Saturday when the former featherweight world champion collides with the lightweight finalist from season 5 of The Ultimate Fighter.
Rag-dolling opponents and bullying them with brute force has been the M.O. for both Mike Brown and Manny Gamburyan, so something will have to give Saturday when the former featherweight world champion collides with the lightweight finalist from season 5 of The Ultimate Fighter.
"I've never had a problem in my life with a strong guy. I've never been overpowered or fought a guy that I thought was really strong, even when I fought at 155 pounds," said Brown, a nine-year pro who, despite his exceptional power, contends he hasn't lifted weight in years. I train with big, huge guys, you know, so nobody has muscled me, nobody has grabbed me and thrown me around. I've never really come across that."
Enter Gamburyan, a chiseled fighter who is solid as a fire hydrant and believes he's stout enough to become the first opponent to ever physically impose his will on Brown (23-5).
"He's a former world champion. He's a good fighter and I give him props," said the Armenian-American, who is 2-0 since dropping to 145 pounds and smothered Leonard Garcia in his last fight to earn a unanimous decision victory. "I'm going to find Mike Brown's weaknesses. I'm going to go out there and do what I do best. I can't wait."
The clash of mashers comes with high stakes; the victor could be next in line to challenge the winner of Saturday night's featherweight title fight between Jose Aldo and No. 1 contender Urijah Faber. Brown, however, claims he's blocking out any championship scenario and focusing solely on the task in front of him, realizing he's never faced anyone with the unique skill set of the 28-year-old Gamburyan. Fighting out of Hollywood, Calif., Gamburyan is a decorated judo black belt capable of slamming foes with ease. In the mold of say, Frank Mir, once Gamburyan latches onto a submission, escapes are rare. The 5'5 Californian poses particular danger with an array of guillotine chokes, kimuras, foot locks and heel hooks. Watching Gamburyan crack mitts, it is apparent that he packs plenty of power in his hands. Unfortunately for him, once the opening horn sounds that pop has translated into just one TKO, as Gamburyan generally uses his punching to merely set up his takedowns.
Given the trend of Gamburyan's fights, Brown, a biology major in college, feels he owns the deeper bag of tricks. Brown trains at the vaunted American Top Team headquarters in Coconut Creek, Fla., where he is a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The former Division III college wrestler owns 13 wins by way of submission, compared to six for Gamburyan. Expect Brown to respect and be well-prepared for Gamburyan's leg attacks, especially since five years earlier Brown had his knee shredded and underwent ACL surgery following a vicious kneelock from Masakazu Imanari. Brown sat on the shelf for many months thereafter and no fighter would want to endure a repeat of grueling rehab and time away from the gym.
While any grappling battle between Brown and Gamburyan will offer intrigue, Brown is far and away the more widely feared striker – having floored both Urijah Faber and Leonard Garcia with one punch, making him the only pro fighter who can make that claim.
"He's going to do what he does every fight: He's going to throw the overhand right and then to try to take me down, try to mash me against the cage and try to double-leg me. He's predictable," Brown said. "Manny and I are both really strong for the weight class. Neither of us are slick, finesse fighters. It's going to be two rocks just smashing into each other, so we'll see if one of us breaks. We're both solid takedown guys with solid jiu-jitsu, but I'm the bigger, harder puncher. I just have to crack him hard. If I hit him hard I think he won't want any part of it."

Hi Dan/Pete, I am interesting in ZWave using GSD: LinuxMCE-1.1-SRC/src/Generic_Serial_Device/Embedded Devices/*/Ruby/ do you mean we can just work on *.rb no need *.cpp/*.h? Because I am familiar on Perl and afraid of thousand lines of C codes.cheers/kin
The Zwave interface device should be able to receive commands from other transmitters. All it should take is some coding to process the commands. Does this answer your question?

Because I am familiar on Perl and afraid of thousand lines of C codes.cheers/kinI'm just putting the finishing touches on my Insteon PLM interface, completely done in GSD/Ruby.Ruby has it's limitations, as I found out, but a good programmer will find a way around them..I'd have to say, the most limiting factor of Ruby is it's single thread.. That's a pain... but still workable..This is my first experience in Ruby... so it's been a long haul, trying to learn the syntax, command structure, etc..I must say, now that I know more about it, I'll be using it more often... It's got HUGE potential..I would say it is possible to implement ZWave in Ruby... heck, I did Insteon!That said, I guess I should look into exactly what's required.. to tell you the truth, I haven't looked at ZWave's command structure very much..I'm assuming it's probably similar to Insteon..Good Luck, and Have Fun!Dan
Please don't take that last comment the wrong way..I don't like flamers, and I will NOT flame here.you really really will need the devkit Dan
The issue with Insteon is that it's a 120V/60Hz solution currently. Technical work-arounds of the Zwave patent have occured such that I believe more 2-way devices are availalbe. In the absence of that, polling can accomplish light state maintainence as well.
The ZWave lights reporting back to the controller isn't a technology issue. Its a patent mess. Lutron has a patent on a light switch reporting via radio when its switched. Within days of Leviton shipping their first switch with their implementation of the feedback they got sued. These are both $B+ companies with big legal resources.
The ZWave interface code is all propriatary and only available under NDA. (Why, I don't know, since it only works with chips they sell). Pluto has a license and may be able to share it with developers who sign an agreement under the license. Not very open source but probably the only way. ZWave is on its third generation chips and the stuff works pretty well. The Pluto ZWave code has some bugs and needs some enhancements. And the USB interfaces on the market all are a problem under Linux. The Leviton interface is serial so it should be easy to integrate, however not yet. It may be possible to implement the Leviton feedback feature as well, but only as protected code.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration is requiring makers of Ambien and similar sleeping pills to lower the dosage of their drugs, based on studies suggesting patients face a higher risk of injury due to morning drowsiness.
The agency said Thursday that new research shows that the drugs remain in the bloodstream at levels high enough to interfere with alertness and coordination, which increases the risk of car accidents.
Regulators are ordering drug manufacturers to cut the dose of the medications in half for women, who process the drug more slowly. Doses will be lowered from 10 milligrams to 5 milligrams for regular products, and 12.5 milligrams to 6.25 milligrams for extended-release formulations.
The FDA is recommending that manufacturers apply these lower doses to men as well, though it is not making them a requirement.
The new doses apply to all insomnia treatments containing the drug zolpidem, which is sold under brands including Ambien, Edluar, Zolpimist and in generic forms. It is the most widely prescribed sleeping aid prescribed in the U.S. The changes don't affect other popular sleeping medicines like Lunesta and Sonata, which use different drugs.
FDA officials pointed out that all sleeping drugs carry warnings about drowsiness.
"All sleep drugs have the potential to cause this, so health professionals should prescribe — and patients should take — the lowest dose that is capable of preventing insomnia," said Dr. Ellis Unger, a director in FDA's Office of Drug Evaluation, on a teleconference with reporters.
Unger added that the FDA will begin requiring developers of sleep drugs to conduct driving simulation studies going forward.
Ambien has been blamed for several recent high-profile driving accidents in the past year, including Tom Brokaw in September and Kerry Kennedy in July.
The FDA has received more than 700 reports of driving-related problems connected to zolpidem over the years.
"But in most cases it was very difficult to determine if the driving impairment was actually related to zolpidem," Unger said. "Usually the reports did not contain information about when the accident happened or how much time had lapsed since taking the drug."
The agency decided to take action after recent driving simulation studies showed that, in some patients, drug levels remained high enough to cause difficulty driving. The data came from company studies of Intermezzo, a new form of zolpidem which was approved in 2011 for people who wake late at night and can't get back to sleep.
The data showed that 33 percent of women and 25 percent of men taking extended-release zolpidem had enough of the drug in their blood to interfere with driving as much as eight hours later.
When the dose was cut in half only 15 percent of women and 5 percent of men had those same drug levels.
FDA analysis was unable to determine why women metabolize zolpidem so much more slowly than men. According to FDA staff, the difference cannot be accounted for by usual factors like size and weight.
For now, patients should continue taking their currently prescribed dose until they can talk to their doctor about the best way to proceed.
"We really don't want people to change the dose they're on. We want them to talk to their health care provider," Unger said.
Ambien is marketed by Sanofi, Intermezzo by Purdue Pharma LP and Zolpimist by NovaDel Pharma Inc.

July 13, 2012
Guest: Aaron Paul
DAVE DAVIES, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies, in for Terry Gross. The fifth and final series of AMC's "Breaking Bad" begins this Sunday."
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (As character) It's Gustavo. He's dead.
DAVIES: Last season ended with the gruesome death of drug lord Gustavo Fring, the nemesis of Walter White, the former chemistry teacher turned meth maker and dealer. In this scene from the new episode, Gustavo's henchman Mike, played by Jonathan Banks, learns of Gustavo's death and confronts Walt, played by Bryan Cranston, and his assistant Jesse Pinkman, who's played by Aaron Paul.
JONATHAN BANKS: (As Mike) Son of a bitch.
AARON PAUL: (As Jesse) Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up, hold up.
BANKS: (As Mike) Get out of my way, kid.
PAUL: (As Jesse) What? Wait a minute. All right, let him talk.
BANKS: (As Mike) (Unintelligible) talk. I am done listening to this (beep) talk. Now get out of my way.
PAUL: (As Jesse) He's got something you need to hear, all right?
BANKS: (As Mike) What did you do, Jesse? Do you even know? Do you even know what you've done?
BRYAN CRANSTON: (As Walt) Yeah, he saved his own life.
BANKS: (As Mike) One more word.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (As character) Mike, if you kill him, you're going to have to kill me. Come on.
BANKS: (As Mike) Oh Jesse, Jesus. What is it with you guys?
DAVIES: On today's show we feature our interview recorded last year with Aaron Paul. He won an Emmy for his performances on the show. When the series began, Walt was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Needing money for his treatment and wanting to leave an estate for his family, he decided to use his chemistry expertise to cook crystal meth. His meth became legendary.
Jesse, his former flunking student who was already cooking and selling meth small-time, became Walt's assistant cook. Before "Breaking Bad," he was best known for his performance in "Big Love." Terry spoke with him in November, and they began with a scene from the first season of "Breaking Bad," soon after Walt and Jesse teamed up. Jesse was supposed to sell the meth they just cooked and bring back the money. Walt's angry when Jesse shows up late.
CRANSTON: (As Walter White) We were supposed to start at three.
PAUL: (As Jesse) Hey, I'm out there making fat stacks, man, chill. Hey, prepaid cell phone, use it.
CRANSTON: (As Walter) How much is this?
PAUL: (As Jesse) Twenty-six big ones.
CRANSTON: (As Walter) Is that all, $26,000?
PAUL: (As Jesse) No, that's $2,600, and your share is $1,300, minus $25 for that phone.
CRANSTON: (As Walter) How much meth did you sell?
PAUL: (As Jesse) Nearly an ounce.
CRANSTON: (As Walter) Last time I checked, there were 16 ounces to a pound. What'd you do with the rest, smoke it?
PAUL: (As Jesse) Yo, I've been out there all night slinging crystal. You think it's cake moving a pound of meth one teenth at a time?
CRANSTON: (As Walter) So why are you selling it in such small quantities? Why don't you just sell the whole pound at once?
PAUL: (As Jesse) To who? What do I look like, Scarface?
CRANSTON: (As Walter) This is unacceptable. I am breaking the law here. This return is too little for the risk. I thought you'd be ready for another pound today.
PAUL: (As Jesse) You may know a lot about chemistry, man, but you don't know jack about slinging dope.
CRANSTON: (As Walter) Well, I'll tell you, I know a lack of motivation when I see it.
PAUL: (As Jesse) Oh, my...
CRANSTON: (As Walter) C'mon. You've got to be more imaginative, you know. Just think outside the box here. We have to move our product in bulk, wholesale. Now how do we do that?
PAUL: (As Jesse) What do mean, to like a distributor?
CRANSTON: (As Walter) Yes, yes, that's what we need. We need a distributor. Now, do you know anyone like that?
PAUL: (As Jesse) Yeah, I mean, I used to until you killed him.
Aaron Paul, welcome to FRESH AIR. I love that scene.
PAUL: Thank you so much.
GROSS: And I love the way your former chemistry teacher, who's now your partner cooking meth, is lecturing you about your lack of motivation, the way only a teacher could.
GROSS: Now, your character Jesse starts off as - I mean, he's a kid from the suburbs who's an underachiever, and he's modeled his look and his way of speaking on hip-hop culture, probably watched a lot of, like, Beastie Boy videos.
PAUL: Yes, absolutely.
GROSS: And you got the picture from a cell phone message that we played. Who did you model Jesse on early in the series?
PAUL: Really, it was a combination of people that I've met throughout my life and people that I've encountered in New Mexico, and it's all over the place. And so I just kind of tried to form a unique, interesting personality through people that I've encountered.
GROSS: So we're into the fourth season of "Breaking Bad" now. Have you come close to counting how many times you've used the word bitch?
PAUL: Oh, wow. The yos and bitches. It's too many to count. It's incredible. And all of those are scripted, nothing - a lot of people ask me if - do you just improv the yos or the bitches sometimes, and everything's on the page. It's great.
GROSS: So your character, Jesse, was supposed to be killed off in the first season of "Breaking Bad." How did you find out that your character was doomed? When did you learn that?
PAUL: I didn't learn that until towards the end of the first season. We still had - we were on the sixth episode, so the fifth episode plus the pilot. And we had one more to go, and I hadn't read the script yet. And Vince, we were at lunch, and Vince is...
GROSS: This is the creator, Vince Gilligan.
PAUL: Yeah, this is the creator Vince Gilligan, calls me over, and he's, you know, eating with all the writers. And he goes, I want to tell you something. And I go, what's that? And he goes, you know, originally Jesse was supposed to die at the end of this season. And this is the first time I've ever heard any of this.
And instantly my heart kind of dropped and slowed down a bit, and he goes, but we don't think we're going to do that anymore. And I was just - I was like, what do you mean? What are you talking about? Like, what's the plan? And he's like, no, we just - I just wanted to let you know that that's not the plan anymore.
And I didn't know how to take it, but he said that they just loved the, you know, the dynamic between Walt and Jesse and the chemistry that, you know, Bryan and I kind of brought to these characters. He decided to change the whole dynamic of their relationship and really of the show.
But the entire second season, the entire third season, I thought that Jesse could be a goner at any moment because there's, you know, many things that this character has screwed up on, and, you know, he could definitely meet his deathbed at any moment, so.
And they'd always tease me. They'd always joke around saying, oh, did you read the next script? And I would say, no, not yet. I haven't got it. You know, I haven't got it. And, you know, Bryan would come up and give me a hug and say, well, I'm not going to say anything, but, you know, it was such a pleasure working with you.
PAUL: It's been an amazing past year and a half, and, you know, you have a huge career ahead of you. And so they would always joke around about it. They kind of slowed down this fourth season, but we'll see. Who knows? I mean, this kid could die at any second.
GROSS: Well, when I interviewed Vince Gilligan, he basically said he couldn't imagine the series without you.
PAUL: Oh, I love that man. How nice is he?
GROSS: But he also made it clear that's no guarantee.
GROSS: So - but, you know, that kind of uncertainty, I could see that being a little helpful because Jesse's never sure how long he's going to live. So why should you know?
PAUL: Right, exactly. That's true.
GROSS: Jesse's changed so much in the course of the now four seasons of the show. And, you know, he starts off really small-time. You know, he's almost like still a kid. And now he's involved with this big drug ring and where there's a lot of violence, a lot of money.
At the end of Season Three, last season, Walt is afraid that the head of the drug ring is going to kill him as soon as Walt has finished training his assistant cook, a man named Gale, in how to prepare the meth recipe. And if the head of the drug ring kills Walt, he'll probably kill Jesse, too.
So Walt thinks the only hope is to have Jesse kill this assistant meth cook, Gale. So he convinces Jesse that Jesse has to murder the assistant cook. And so you, Jesse, kill Gale, and then you just really become dead inside afterwards.
So you kill him, you're dead inside, you start using meth again, and then you end up going to your support group, your drug support group. You want to confess that you've killed a man, but you can't confess that. So you make up a story that you've killed a dog. And here's a clip from that scene in the support group.
PAUL: (As Jesse) A couple weeks back, I killed a dog.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (As character) You hit him with your car?
PAUL: (As Jesse) No, I put him down. I watched him go. I was looking him straight in the eye, and he didn't know what was happening. He didn't know why. He - he was just scared, and then...
GROSS: And then members of the support group try to comfort Jesse, and one of them says, oh, well, the dog was suffering, putting him down was a kindness. And then when Jesse says that's not what happened, the woman in the group assumes, oh, well, the dog must have bitten someone, so you did the right thing. And then you say it wasn't that.
And then another person in the group assumes, like, well, you must have started using meth again, and that took you to the dark side because that's what meth does. And everybody's trying to help you justify killing this dog, and you know that there's really no justification for what you've done, which is killing a man. So let's pick up the scene from there. And the leader of the support group speaks first.
JERE BURNS: (As Group Leader) How'd you feel about what you did, Jesse?
PAUL: (As Jesse) I don't know.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (As Colleen) Who cares how you feel? What kind of a person kills a dog for no reason?
BURNS: (As character) Colleen.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (As Colleen) You put an ad in the paper, you drop him off at a shelter. You can't just sit there and talk about killing a helpless, innocent animal.
BURNS: (As character) Colleen, we're not here to sit in judgment.
PAUL: (As Jesse) Why not? Why not? Maybe she's right. You know, maybe I should have put it in the paper. Maybe I should've done something different. The thing is, if you just do stuff, and nothing happens, what's it all mean? What's the point? All right, this whole thing is about self-acceptance.
BURNS: (As character) Kicking the hell out of yourself doesn't give meaning to anything.
PAUL: (As Jesse) So I should judging and accept?
BURNS: (As character) It's a start.
PAUL: (As Jesse) So no matter what I do, hooray for me because I'm a great guy? It's all good? No matter how many dogs I kill, I just, what, do an inventory and accept? I mean, you back your truck over your own kid, and you like accept? What a load of crap.
BURNS: (As character) Hey, Jesse, I know you're in pain...
PAUL: (As Jesse) No, you know what? Why I'm here in the first place is to sell you meth. You're nothing to me but customers. I made you my bitch. You OK with that, huh? You accept?
BURNS: (As character) No.
PAUL: (As Jesse) About time.
GROSS: That's my guest Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman in a scene from this season of "Breaking Bad." You are so lost at this point in the storyline. Do you feel like the character you're playing now is different from the character you started playing on "Breaking Bad," because so much has happened to him, he's changed so much?
PAUL: Oh, 100 percent. He is so broken now. I mean, he was a lost kid at the beginning of the series, you know, just kind of struggling to find his way. But he was content with dime-bagging it, you know, just selling teenths at a time and living in his aunt's house.
But when Mr. White comes back into his life, and they continue to go down this dark rabbit hole, and they can't seem to get out of it, they're both so in way over their heads.
And now, you know, Jesse has completely really lost the support of his family. He had lost his first really true love, I think, with Jane, that was - started off as a good influence on Jesse but then just turned into like a chemical romance, really.
And now, you know, he's a murderer, and he's just lost and tortured, and it's so tragic what he's going through.
GROSS: And murder really isn't in his nature, but he had to do, and he has to live with the consequences of that. Did you have to figure out who is Jesse without the drugs and the poses?
PAUL: Yeah, yeah, I really - you know, joining this series, obviously I had no idea where this character was going, and I didn't really have much of a backstory, but as the seasons have gone on, I feel like I have a true grasp of who this kid is, inside and out. And it's incredible how I feel like such a personal connection with Jesse. It feels like he's almost a part of me, to be honest.
But I couldn't be such a polar opposite from this kid. But going to work every day and kind of zipping on his skin is such a - you know, such a dream.
GROSS: What makes you the opposite of Jesse Pinkman?
PAUL: I feel like I have my life together, really, and Jesse just seems like he's constantly just struggling to keep his head about water. And he's just this, you know, messed up kid trying to find his way, but you know he has this soul, he has this heart, and that's why - I mean, that's why I feel people, you know, are rooting for him.
And they just want to, you know, hug him and tell him it's going to be OK. But at the end of the day, like, is it really? Is it going to be? You don't know.
GROSS: He wouldn't accept that hug anyways.
PAUL: No, no, he actually would not, no.
DAVIES: Aaron Paul, speaking with Terry Gross. Paul stars in the AMC series "Breaking Bad." More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
DAVIES: We're listening to Terry's interview recorded last year with Aaron Paul, who stars in the AMC series "Breaking Bad." Its fifth season premieres Sunday night.
GROSS: You've taken a lot of punishment in the series. You've been beaten in a lot of very imaginative ways. What are some examples of some of the worst beatings you've taken in the series?
PAUL: Wow, well, some of the worst beatings really came at the very beginning, which was done by a character name of Tuco, this guy played by Raymond Cruz, and he's just this very loud, violent drug dealer who's addicted to meth. And there was this one scene where he's beating me up with a bag of money and beating me to a bloody pulp, and that's the first time Jesse goes to the hospital in the series.
And then the next time that he got beaten up by Tuco, really Tuco's going to - is about to put a shotgun to his face and pull the trigger, and he throws Jesse out of this house. And in one of the takes, probably on the eighth or ninth take, my head actually comes into contact with the opening of this wooden screen door.
And I catch it, and my entire body flips around, and it splits the screen door into a million pieces, and I just land flat on my, like, head and chest. And the scene continues to go on because he thinks that I'm just acting. But in reality, I was just completely out of it, and I don't remember it happening. And I ended up getting this pretty serious concussion.
GROSS: Oh, really?
PAUL: Yeah, yeah.
GROSS: I thought you meant the character thinks you're acting. You mean the actor thinks you were just acting.
PAUL: Yeah, no, the - yeah, Raymond Cruz thought that I was still just in the moment, but then there was a point where he picks me up, puts me on his shoulders, and he was going to slam me against the wall, and try to grab him and just tell him - you know, to tell him to stop.
And so they shut down production for a little bit, ambulance was called, and they sent me to the hospital. I was saying I was fine, but I just felt a little drunk, to be honest. It was just so strange. So I just, you know, ended up going to the ER and spent about six or seven hours with one of our executive producers.
GROSS: Would you have problems watching scenes like when you're beaten up or scenes when your face has been beaten to a pulp? Do you watch yourself in those scenes?
PAUL: I do, yeah. I mean, I'll watch it when the show airs, you know, whether it being if I fly home to Idaho with my family. You know, they have a "Breaking Bad" night every week, and so I come from a huge, huge, loving family, and they've been supportive since, you know, day one.
So my parents are, you know, they're still madly in love. It's their 40th anniversary coming up in November. And I have many siblings. I have 14 nieces and nephews. And they throw a huge party.
GROSS: Whoa.
PAUL: Yeah, they throw a huge party every Sunday night. So that's pretty great.
DAVIES: Aaron Paul, speaking with Terry Gross, recorded last November. Paul stars in the HBO series "Breaking Bad." That's the AMC series "Breaking Bad." Its fifth and final season premieres Sunday. Aaron Paul will be back in the second half of the show. I'm Dave Davies, and this is FRESH AIR.
DAVIES: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies filling in for Terry Gross. Let's get back to Terry's interview recorded in November with Aaron Paul. He plays Jesse Pinkman in the AMC series "Breaking Bad." The show begins its fifth and final season this Sunday. Jesse was a smalltime meth dealer until he hooked up with his former chemistry teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston. Walt's chemistry background helped him cook some powerful crystal meth.
GROSS: Your co-star, the star of the series "Breaking Bad" is Bryan Cranston. Did you know him from "Malcolm in the Middle," I mean from watching him on "Malcolm in the Middle," in which he played the father?
PAUL: Oh yeah, I love him. I loved that show. I thought he was great. And...
GROSS: And how old were you when you first started watching that?
PAUL: Oh man, I actually I was in L.A. when they were casting that pilot. I remember reading that pilot and I went out for the older brother, didn't end up getting it obviously, but...
GROSS: Oh, no. Really?
PAUL: Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, Chris Masterson ended up getting the role and he was brilliant on it. But, yeah, I was a huge fan of that show from day one. I think I've probably seen pretty much I think every episode. But my mom is the biggest "Malcolm in the Middle" fan. She's obsessed. And when...
GROSS: Maybe that's helped to ease the blow that you're going to play...
GROSS: ...somebody who cooks meth in the series.
PAUL: Yeah.
PAUL: Yeah. Exactly. When I told her that Bryan Cranston was the star of "Breaking Bad," the pilot that I had just booked, she lost her mind. She was so, so, so excited because she knew one day she would be able to meet him, you know.
PAUL: So she was ecstatic.
GROSS: So you're obviously very different from the Jesse Pinkman character that you play on "Breaking Bad." In fact, you know, he's a meth head. You grew up in Idaho. Your father is a Baptist minister, yes?
PAUL: Yes. Yeah. Yeah. He's actually retired. He doesn't have a church he does every week in anymore, but he still does, you know, weddings and funerals and sometimes will guest speak at some churches. But, yeah, throughout my entire life growing up in Idaho we would go, you know, to his congregation every week and he would preach and, yeah.
GROSS: What was his preaching like?
PAUL: It was it great. It was inspiring, really. I mean he would get up in front of all these people and kind of just get lost in the moment as well, and I think that's where I take not that I'm saying he was really standing up there acting, but he would just really get lost into these stories. He would speak, and it was fun to watch and to hear. And, you know, I left at such a young age. I left...
GROSS: Left Idaho and left home?
PAUL: Left Idaho. Yeah, I left Idaho at 17. You know, I graduated high school a year early and just, you know, the typical story, packed up my car and moved out. Yeah.
GROSS: I wonder if there was any pressure on you to be the good kid because you were like the son of the minister. And if so, if acting was a kind of like release valve for that because you could be all the people that you weren't allowed to be.
PAUL: Oh yeah, total, 100 percent. I mean you nailed it. It's, you know, I forget who told me this but they said, you know, acting is really like a cheap form of therapy, it's such a nice release. You know, we're all kind of crazy in our own way. And it's true, it is a nice, it's a great release and it's so much fun just to kind of zip on different skins and...
GROSS: When you left home at age 17, which as you point out is really young...
PAUL: Yeah.
GROSS: ...did your parents try to like bar the door and do everything in their power to prevent you from going, and telling you that you were making a huge mistake that you would always regret, that you are throwing your life away and throwing away everything that they had ever done to help you in life, etcetera?
PAUL: You know what? Not at all. It was quite the opposite. I always had the plan of moving to L.A. They knew I always wanted to do this. And I think really in eighth grade I made it certain just to let my parents know this was my plan. You know, I'm going to move to California or New York and I'm going to try to become an actor, and that they knew that from early on. And so when I started taking it very seriously in high school and they would see, you know, these productions that we put on and they would see how excited I would get about them, they were all about it when I mentioned to them that I wanted to take zero hour, where I'd go to school early, you know, to do an extra class and take correspondence, which was really homeschooling as well, just to graduate early so I could get out to L.A., you know, sooner than later.
And they just applauded me and they said go for it. Just do it. You want this. Like I love, you know, like, I love your passion. And so they supported me. I love - you know, there's a great story. Most of my teachers were supportive, but there was this one teacher that came up to me when I was saying goodbye, really, because I graduated, I'm done, and she said I feel that you're making a big mistake and what is your plan B? I mean do you have another plan if this doesn't work out? Like what if it doesn't work out?
And when I told my mom that, 'cause every - from everywhere I was getting blessings from every side. But I told my mom that and my mom went straight into the school and just said how dare you say this to my son? Like, what's your plan? What's your second - what if this doesn't work out for you? You know, what's your plan B? And it was just so great to see my mom like take that control, because I've never seen her like that in my life. And it was just so great that they were supportive of going after dreams. And - 'cause if you don't then what do you really have? You know, you might as well just shoot for whatever you want to do.
GROSS: Well, they must have a lot of faith in you and in your ability to follow through on the dream.
PAUL: Yeah. I know it's and, you know, obviously I couldn't have done this without them and it's incredible, very, very blessed.
GROSS: So you get to LA and then what? You don't know anybody there. Like, You don't, I mean....
PAUL: Yeah, no, I know.
GROSS: You have you car is packed up, then what?
PAUL: Yeah. I actually, my mom came out with me, found a little studio apartment, and she just wanted to make sure I would get settled. And it's funny; the weekend I was moving into this little tiny studio apartment in North Hollywood, a bank robbery is in progress like two blocks from my place.
PAUL: A giant bank robbery and it ended in crazy bloodshed. And my mom is like oh, my God. Where am I allowing my son to move to? But she, you know, she got on a plane and went back to Idaho and so I'm sure very safe, but I'm sure she was scared for my life but she was still very, very, very supportive. But yeah, I didn't know anybody, I just, you know, saved up a bunch of money from random jobs I worked in Idaho and just tried to find myself an agent and a manager.
GROSS: And succeeded?
PAUL: And succeeded. Yeah. Yeah. I got a...
GROSS: Oh how did you do it? Did you just talk them into it or what?
PAUL: Yeah, I just talked them into it and bribed them a little bit. But...
GROSS: With?
PAUL: No. I - oh, no.
PAUL: I didn't bribe them. I actually I ended up going to this acting competition that was held downtown Los Angeles. And I mean there's just thousands of kids there and I ended up signing with a manager there, and then he found me an agent pretty quickly, like, you know, a couple of weeks later. And that agent, Loch Powell, is now my manager and I've been with them since day one. And I, you know, I really owe everything to him. He's great.
GROSS: Well, you paid off.
GROSS: So can I just say something about the voice that you do as Jesse?
PAUL: Yeah.
GROSS: There's something about the voice that Jesse always seems to be on the verge of like complaining or whining or feeling put upon.
PAUL: Right.
GROSS: It's like he still a teenager. You know what I mean? It's like still his parents are nagging him or his teacher is nagging him. That's his kind of like posture in the world a lot of the time.
PAUL: Right. Yeah. It's true.
GROSS: Is that what you've been trying for vocally?
PAUL: Yeah. No, I mean it just - I see Jesse as this kid that still hasn't found his footing, you know? And I love that he, you know, he still calls Walter White Mr. White and he's...
GROSS: Yeah. Yeah. That's so great.
PAUL: He's just lost in his own world. And, I don't know. I think well, you know, this season is where he's really, he's kind of taken the reins of his life.
GROSS: Well, I just want to say, if Vince Gilligan is listening, please do not kill off Jesse Pinkman.
PAUL: Yes. I agree. Thank you so much.
GROSS: Aaron Paul, it's been great to talk with you. Thank you so much.
PAUL: Thank you so much, Terry.
DAVIES: Aaron Paul, speaking to Terry Gross, recorded last November. Paul stars in the AMC series "Breaking Bad." Its fifth and final season premieres Sunday. Coming up, Lloyd Schwartz tells us about plans to celebrate the 75th anniversary of "Tanglewood," the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This is FRESH AIR.
DAVE DAVIES, HOST: Tomorrow night, Tanglewood - the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra - celebrates its 75th anniversary with a gala all-star concert. But part of the celebration has already started. On June 20th, the orchestra begins 75 days of streaming rare concerts from the vast Tanglewood archive.
Classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz is very excited about this project.
LLOYD SCHWARTZ, BYLINE: On July 20, 1958, at Tanglewood, pianist Leon Fleisher played an electrifying Brahms' "First Piano Concerto" with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under one of its former music directors, Pierre Monteux. This remarkable teaming has not been heard since then.
But the BSO has come up with an inspired way to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Tanglewood. Every day for 75 days, through the summer, the BSO will stream a different historic Tanglewood concert on its website, including this astonishing Brahms, and going even further back to the very first Tanglewood concert, with a Beethoven "Fifth Symphony" under the leadership of the visionary Serge Koussevitzky, August 5, 1937.
I can't remember when I first started going to Tanglewood. It was certainly before I owned my own car, because I needed someone to give me a ride out to the Berkshires, more than two hours from Boston. Music was only part of the pleasure. The setting is idyllic, and a good picnic out on the lawn could be as enjoyable as the music itself. Of course, the open-air acoustics are not going to compare well to the magnificent sound at Boston's Symphony Hall, and many of the programs simply repeat what has already been performed in Boston. But every now and again, there's something wonderful that Boston can't replicate.
The very best performance I ever heard by Seiji Ozawa was at Tanglewood in 1974: Schoenberg's epic saga "Gurrelieder," which almost cries out for an outdoor setting. He led the amazing student orchestra and such legendary artists as soprano Phyllis Curtin and bass-baritone George London. Ozawa was in his element. When he repeated this piece five years later at Symphony Hall, with a different cast, it felt cramped and flat. I'm sorry this isn't one of the downloadable performances, though there's a thrilling version led by James Levine. Not all these past concerts are serious ones. I'd have loved to attend the July 13, 1961's BSO Pension Fund Concert, conducted by Danny Kaye, whose conducting adviser was his friend and BSO first violinist Harry Ellis Dixon. I'm especially tickled by Kaye's deconstruction of Johann Strauss.
SCHWARTZ: One Tanglewood event I was at, and I'm very happy to hear again, is a 2006 performance of Stravinsky's Histoire du Soldat by the Tanglewood Music (technical difficulties). But these brilliant young players were upstaged by the three speakers serving as Narrator, Devil, and Soldier: composers John Harbison, the late Milton Babbit, and the then only 97-year-old Elliott Carter, who is particularly poignant as the cheated soldier.
ELLIOTT CARTER: (as Soldier) The Devil robbed me blind. I miss those treasures left behind, the pleasures that I knew before: my mother smiling at the door, the friends with whom I'd raise a glass, the summer smell of fresh cut grass. And my fiddle, a cheap and tuneless thing, still, when I tried, I could make it sing.
SCHWARTZ: I don't have equal enthusiasm for every choice, but on the whole I think this is a remarkable selection. There are informative and witty notes on line by former Boston Globe music critic Richard Dyer that include some reviews of the original concerts-not all completely positive. And the first day of each download is free. It's wonderful to finally have access to these previously inaccessible concerts.
DAVIES: Lloyd Schwartz is classical music editor of the Boston Phoenix. Upcoming downloads from the Tanglewood archives appearing on the Boston Symphony Orchestra's website include performances mentioned in Lloyd's piece, with Stravinsky on Sunday and the Brahms first piano concerto on August 3rd.
DAVE DAVIES. HOST: Coming up, David Edelstein reviews the Kenneth Lonergan film "Margaret" which is out on DVD. This is FRESH AIR.
DAVE DAVIES, HOST: In the mid-'90s Kenneth Lonergan received enormous acclaim for his play "This is Our Youth" and in 2000 for his film, "You Can Count on Me." His second film, "Margaret," starring Anna Paquin, was a long time in coming and had only a brief life in theaters. Now the theatrical release is available on Blu-ray along with a longer DVD cut. Film critic David Edelstein has a review.
DAVID EDELSTEIN, BYLINE: A fiasco with a great first half is what I called Kenneth Lonergan's "Margaret" when it was dumped in one New York theater last fall, five years after it was shot, amid a legal battle between Lonergan and a producer. I'm a huge fan of Lonergan's plays and his first film, "You Can Count on Me," but "Margaret's" second half was so disjointed I couldn't get behind it.
But a handful of other critics did, and fans started a Twitter campaign - a small but significant groundswell enabling Lonergan to make a three-hour cut for DVD. That extended cut is as close to a masterpiece as any American film in a decade.
The protagonist is a Manhattan teenager named Lisa, played bravely, marvelously, by Anna Paquin. In her first scene, she admits to cheating on a test to a too-indulgent private school teacher played by Matt Damon. She's a blase relativist - there's no right or wrong.
Then comes a turning point. She distracts a bus driver whose cowboy hat she likes. He runs a red light, a woman is hit - a wildly shocking accident that ends with Lisa holding the dying woman, drenched in blood. I've never seen anything like it, and hope never to again.
Its impact lingers through the film, of course, though in the next few days Lisa barely talks about it. She goes to a party. She calls an ironic hipster played by Kieran Culkin and asks him to take her virginity, blowing off a close friend who adores her.
She won't discuss what happened with her single mother, an actress - played by Lonergan's wife, J. Smith-Cameron - who's about to open in an Off Broadway play. Her father in L.A., played by Lonergan, is friendly but superficial - useless.
Then, suddenly, more than an hour into the film, Lisa confronts the enormity of the accident, and how she lied to protect the bus driver, played by Mark Ruffalo. She journeys to the distant reaches of Brooklyn, surprising him and his wife.
ANNA PAQUIN: (as Lisa) I'm not trying to get you in trouble.
MARK RUFFALO: (as Maretti) I know you're not 'cause you can't 'cause I didn't do anything wrong. All right? There was no criminality found. That's it. The report is, you know, final. That's it.
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) So you're just going to leave it.
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) I'm going to leave it because that's all that it was. If something else would've happened, then I'd take that to whatever that was. OK? It was tragic. It's a tragedy, but there's only a certain speed that those brakes can react, OK? That's the physical limitation of the machine. I don't know what else to tell you. It's shocking. It was a shock. But you can't bring her back. You cannot bring her back.
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) I'm not talking about bringing her back. I'm talking about telling the accident investigators what really happened.
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) But you already talked to them.
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) I know that, but I lied.
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) You lied.
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) Yes. And I can understand if you don't want to get in any trouble, but I can't...
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) So then why didn't you say that right then?
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) Because when they were asking me what happened it seemed like you were kind of looking at me, like we were saying to each other let's not say anything about what happened.
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) OK. All right. Now I really don't know what you're talking about.
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) I can't prove that you were doing that.
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) OK. OK. Did I what? Did I say something to you? Did I - did I - did I threaten you in any way?
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) No. And I'm not blaming you for any of this. All I'm saying is that I didn't really tell the cops what happened and I didn't want to go back without having spoken to you first.
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) But you told them what you saw. You told them what you saw and so did I. I mean, I'm the one driving the bus. I'm the one behind the wheel.
PAQUIN: (as Lisa) All right. Have it your way.
RUFFALO: (as Maretti) No. You know what? Leave it alone. What do you - you want to ruin my life? Start talking about looks and you waved at me and I had my cowboy hat on? Go ahead, but you're going to go home and you're going to do your homework and I'm going to lose my job. And who's going to take care of my family? You?
EDELSTEIN: You can hear the urgency of Paquin's Lisa, her desperate attempt to communicate the intensity of her feelings, to the point where other characters accuse her of over-dramatizing. But Lonergan's point is how earth-shattering this is, and how teenagers feel the world more deeply than grown-ups with defenses in place. When Lisa reaches out to a friend of the woman killed, played by Jeannie Berlin, the older woman's cynicism butts up against the teenager's passionate conviction in a way that breaks your heart.
Lonergan's larger theme is that no one fully connects with anyone else, and in the extended cut it's underlined perfectly by a subplot in which Lisa's mother is courted by a Colombian businessman, played by Jean Reno, who can't get on her wavelength.
"Margaret" is named for a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem about a young girl suddenly perceiving death. Lonergan gives you that perspective - Lisa's - but his canvas is wider. He lingers on high-rises, passersby, planes overhead that evoke the trauma of 9/11.
I still think these shots call too much attention to themselves - all these people with their own lives - but they have an impact. "Margaret" needs the sprawl. It's counterintuitive, but a longer movie can feel shorter if its scenes are properly set up. In the extended cut, Lonergan has charted the torturous emotional journey of a modern girl as no one has on screen.
When you buy "Margaret" you'll find that extended cut packaged with a Blu-ray of the theatrical version. Use that as a coaster. Really. I only wish the extended cut could play in theaters across the country. The occasion is that momentous.
DAVIES: David Edelstein is film critic for New York Magazine. The two disc set of "Margaret" includes the theatrical version on Blu-ray and the extended cut on DVD.

Eighteen players named to roster for U.S. U-23 MNT camp from Aug. 3-7 in Bahamas
CHICAGO (Via U.S. Soccer) – An 18-player U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team roster has been named for a five-day camp from Aug. 3-7 at Nassau, Bahamas. The camp will also feature a game against the Bahamas Senior National Team on Wednesday, Aug. 6, at the Thompson A. Robinson National Stadium.
Additional players might be added pending the approved release from their clubs.
This camp is part of the USA's continuing effort to focus early on the qualification process for the 2016 Summer Olympics taking place in Rio de Janeiro. In April, the USA started this phase in earnest with an Under-21 MNT camp at U.S. Soccer's National Training Center.
"The chance to get this group of players together and get ahead of the curve in preparation for Olympic Qualifying in two years' time is huge," said U.S. Soccer Technical Director Jurgen Klinsmann. "We began with the U-21 camp in April, and now it's critical that we have as many camps and games as possible so we can build a deep pool of talent that can qualify for Brazil. The Olympics are an important opportunity for young players, and we have to capitalize on it. We also want to give a big thanks to the Bahamas Football Association for hosting us."
U.S. Men's National Team staff assistant coaches Tab Ramos and Andi Herzog and goalkeeper coach Chris Woods, as well as U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team head coach Javier Perez, are overseeing the camp.
The roster features eight players that Ramos coached at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey: goalkeepers Cody Cropper and Zack Steffen, defenders Juan Pablo Ocegueda and Oscar Sorto, midfielders Luis Gil and Benji Joya and forwards Daniel Cuevas and Victor Pineda.
Leon midfielder Dennis Flores and San Jose Earthquakes defender Ramon Martin del Campo are participating in their first U.S. Soccer Youth National Team camp.
Thirteen players have previous ties to U.S. Soccer's Development Academy.
In the U-21 MNT camp earlier this year, Joya scored two goals, including a game-winner in second-half stoppage time, to lead the USA to a 2-1 victory against Tijuana on April 23. Nine players on the current U-23 roster were part of that U-21 camp: Cuevas, Christian Dean, Gil, Marlon Hairston, Joya, Jordan Morris, Ocegueda, Pineda, Sorto,

DENVER (AP) — Some people in normally laid back Crested Butte are not up for "Whatever" — a secretive Bud Light plan to paint their mountain town blue and turn it into a fantasy town for an online and television ad campaign.
The company has agreed to pay the town $250,000 to fence off its main street and bring in more than 1,000 revelers to the town of 1,500 for the Sept. 5 - 7 event being promoted on social media, The Denver Post reported.
Secrecy has been part of the "Are you up for Whatever?" campaign from its beginning at last year's Super Bowl when Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in a spot playing pingpong with Don Cheadle in an elevator with a llama. Town councilors have been quietly working on the plan since the spring. Word began leaking out recently as outsiders showed up with measuring tapes and checklists, telling locals they couldn't talk about what they were doing and booking lots of hotel rooms.
Residents, including some in costumes, packed a three-hour meeting to talk about the event on Monday night. Some said they backed it as a way to make money for the town but others worried joining forces with a large company would damage the image of a town that hosts an annual film festival and is more partial to craft beers.
Kevin McGruther, who came dressed in Mickey Mouse ears, said he objected to the town being turned into Disneyland. Former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth, who lives in Crested Butte, also opposed the idea and the secrecy surrounding it.
Dan Marshall, an event planner hired by the town, said the secrecy was necessary to avoid the town being overrun by people wanting to be a part of the event.
Izzy's bagel shop owner Craig Maestro said he was too angry to attend the meeting and vowed to rip down any blue fencing in front of his shop.
"It's an absolute disrespect to the community to keep it secret from us," he said.

Security Frameworks
- The Linux Security Modules (LSM) project provides a lightweight, general-purpose framework for access control. Contemporary computing environments are increasingly hostile. Adding enhanced access control models to the kernel improves host security and can help a server survive malicious attacks. Security research has provided many types of enhanced access controls effective for different environments. The LSM framework allows access control models to be implemented as loadable kernel modules.
- Medusa DS9 Security Project is a project to enhance the security of Linux kernel, which implements the ZP Security Framework. The main goal of a project is to implement a framework for implementation of any security model (unlike other secure Linux kernel projects).
- Medusa DS9 is used to increase Linux's security. It consists of two major parts, Linux kernel changes and the user-space daemon. Kernel changes do the monitoring of syscalls, filesystem actions, and processes, and they implement the communication protocol. The security daemon communicates with the kernel using the character device to send and receive packets. It contains the whole logic and implements the concrete security policy. That means that Medusa can implement any model of data protection; it depends only on configuration file, which is in fact a program in the internal programming language, somewhat similar to C.
- Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) is a flexible, powerful and fast open source access control framework for current Linux kernels, which has been in stable production use since January 2000 (version 1.0.9a). All development is independent of governments and big companies, and no existing access control code has been reused.
- The standard package includes a range of access control models like MAC, RC, ACL (see below). Furthermore, the runtime registration facility (REG) makes it easy to implement your own access control model as a kernel module and get it registered at runtime.
- The RSBAC framework is based on the Generalized Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Abrams and La Padula. All security relevant system calls are extended by security enforcement code. This code calls the central decision component, which in turn calls all active decision modules and generates a combined decision. This decision is then enforced by the system call extensions.
- Decisions are based on the type of access (request type), the access target and on the values of attributes attached to the subject calling and to the target to be accessed. Additional independent attributes can be used by individual modules, e.g. the privacy module (PM). All attributes are stored in fully protected directories, one on each mounted device. Thus changes to attributes require special system calls provided.
- TrustedBSD MAC Framework - Mandatory access controls extend discretionary access controls by allowing administrators to enforce additional security for all subjects (e.g. processes or sockets) and objects (e.g. sockets, file system objects, sysctl nodes) in the system. Development of those new access control models is facilitated by the development of a flexible kernel access control extension framework, the TrustedBSD MAC Framework. This permits new access control models to be introduced as kernel modules.
- Trusted Computing Group (TCG) - TCG defines a security architecture based on the hardware-based root of trust. This is a cost effective solution to establish Trusted Computing on various platforms. For some introductory information see Seiji Munetoh and Nicholas Szeto's presentation, TCGOverviewPDF, on the Tech Conference 2005Docs page. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a security chip bound to the platform and a key component of this architecture. TCG has a Mobile Phone WG which has released a use cases document that is applicable to many generic CE devices in addition to the mobile phone -- MPWG User Cases
Security Components
- SELinux - This provides an implementation of the Flask Flux Advanced Security Kernel for Linux. SELinux started as a kernel patch which was presented by the NSA to kernel developers during the 2001 kernel summit. Feeback from this presentation started the LSM project, and the SELinux project helped define large parts of the LSM interface
- Apparmor - Apparmor is an application security tool designed to provide an easy-to-use security framework for your applications.
- The Linux Intrusion Defence System (LIDS) is a kernel patch and admin tools which enhances the kernel's security by implementing Mandatory Access Control (MAC). When it is in effect, chosen file access, all system network administration operations, any capability use, raw device, memory, and I/O access can be made impossible even for root. You can define which programs can access specific files. It uses and extends the system capabilities bounding set to control the whole system and adds some network and filesystem security features to the kernel to enhance the security. You can finely tune the security protections online, hide sensitive processes, receive security alerts through the network, and more. LIDS has two version trees, 1.2 and 2.2. LIDS 2.2 supports kernel 2.6. LIDS 1.2 supports kernel 2.4 and it provides new functions, Trusted Path Execution(TPE) and Trusted Domain Enforcement(TDE). These are useful to create a sandbox. LIDS is released under GPL.
- TOMOYO Linux is a technology to improve Linux's security originally developed by NTT DATA CORPORATION, Japan. TOMOYO Linux was released on November, 11, 2005 as an open source software under the GPL. TOMOYO Linux is a mechanism called Secure OS, which can perform fine grained access control by breaking access permissions into parts like SELinux.

SMACK was incorporated into the mainline Linux kernel as of version 2.6.25
- Umbrella for handhelds implements a combination of process based mandatory access control (MAC) and authentication of files for Linux on top of the Linux Security Modules framework. The MAC scheme is enforced by a set of restrictions for each process.
- Restrictions of resources
- Restrictions of access to network interfaces
- Restrictions on process creation and signaling
- Signed files
- LOMAC is a dynamically-loadable security module for Free UNIX kernels that uses Low Water-Mark Mandatory Access Control (MAC) to protect the integrity of processes and data from viruses, Trojan horses, malicious remote users, and compromised network server daemons. LOMAC is designed for compatibility and ease of use - to be a form of MAC typical users can live with.
- LOMAC is an attempt to produce a form of MAC integrity protection that typical users can live with. LOMAC implements a simple form of MAC integrity protection based on Biba's Low Water-Mark model in a Loadable Kernel Module (LKM). LOMAC provides useful integrity protection against viruses, Trojan horses, malicious remote users, and compromised network servers without any modifications to the kernel, applications, or their existing configurations. LOMAC is designed to be easy to use. Its default configuration is intended to provide useful protection without being adjusted for the specific users, servers, or other software present on the system. LOMAC may be used to harden currently-deployed systems simply by loading the LKM into the kernel shortly after boot time.
- The Enforcer is a Linux Security Module designed to improve integrity of a computer running Linux by ensuring no tampering of the filesystem. It can interact with TCPA hardware to provide higher levels of assurance for software and sensitive data.
- Janus is a security tool for sandboxing untrusted applications within a restricted execution environment. This can be used to limit the harm that can be caused by any successful compromise of the application. We have successfully used Janus to jail Apache, bind, and other programs within a limited sandbox without disturbing application behavior, and we continue to seek experience with using this approach in production environments.
- Domain and Type Enforcement (DTE) is a mandatory access control system which assigns types to files and domains to processes. Access from domains to other domains and from domains to types is enforced according to the DTE policy. The first implementation of this project closely followed the description by TIS in the papers titled A Domain and Type Enforcement Prototype and Confining Root Programs with Domain and Type Enforcement.
- The Realtime Linux Security Module (LSM) is a loadable extension for Linux 2.6 kernels. It selectively grants realtime permissions to specific user groups or applications.
- ACL support for Linux kernel - This linux kernel patch / user code combination allows supporting full access control lists (ACLs) for the Linux kernel.
- http://www.hu.grsecurity.net/ grsecurity (mirrors, original site was here) - is an innovative approach to security utilizing a multi-layered detection, prevention, and containment model. It is licensed under the GPL.
- It offers among many other features:
- An intelligent and robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that can generate least privilege policies for your entire system with no configuration
- Change root (chroot) hardening
- /tmp race prevention
- Extensive auditing
- Prevention of entire classes of exploits related to address space bugs (from the PaX project)
- Additional randomness in the TCP/IP stack
- A restriction that allows a user to only view his/her processes
- Every security alert or audit contains the IP address of the person that caused the event

ANGELI, PAOLO: Tessuti
The latest from Paulo on which he plays compositions by Fred Frith and Bjork - solo (though when you hear it, you definitely won't believe it) on his highly customised and extended, electrified, giant Sardinian guitar. A tour de force of technique and a musical pleasure. There is so much subtlety and so much attention to the minutiae of sound, and so much going on at any given time, that it is difficult to relate what you hear to just one person playing. Very concentrated, rewards listening to a few songs at a time. Though strangely, you could probably also dance to it.

DETROIT — A picture of Jim Leyland's face stared out from the video board at an empty Comerica Park, next to that familiar Olde English "D'' and a message that said simply: "Thank You Jim."
After eight seasons managing the Tigers, including three division titles and two American League pennants, Leyland stepped down Monday. His voice cracking at times, his hands wiping away tears at others, he announced his departure two days after Detroit was eliminated by Boston in the AL championship series.
"It's been a thrill," the 68-year-old Leyland said during a news conference at the ballpark. "I came here to change talent to team, and I think with the help of this entire organization, I think we've done that. We've won quite a bit. I'm very grateful to have been a small part of that."
Leyland made his managerial debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1986, and from Barry Bonds to Miguel Cabrera, he's managed some of the sport's biggest stars and been involved in some of baseball's most memorable games over the past quarter-century.
In 1992, his Pirates lost Game 7 of the NLCS when Atlanta rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning. Five years later, Leyland won his only World Series title as manager when his Florida Marlins beat Cleveland in an 11-inning thriller in Game 7.
He's experienced some of the highest highs the game has to offer, but also endured difficult rebuilding periods in both Pittsburgh and Florida.
After one season with the Colorado Rockies, Leyland didn't manage at all from 2000-05 before Detroit hired him. Leyland led the Tigers to the World Series immediately after taking over in 2006, losing to St. Louis in five games. The Tigers went to the World Series again in 2012 but were swept by San Francisco.
Leyland worked under one-year contracts the last couple of years, saying he was content to wait until after the season to address his status. He was reflective late this season, mentioning to reporters that he had already managed the Tigers longer than he had expected they would keep him, but he also said in September that he still loved the atmosphere, the competition and his team.
In fact, he'd actually told general manager Dave Dombrowski in early September that he didn't want to return as manager. He expects to remain with the organization in some capacity after going 700-597 as Tigers manager.
"I'm not totally retiring today, I'm just not going to be in the dugout anymore," Leyland said. "I hope and pray that you give the next manager the same respect and the same chance that you gave me."
Leyland says his health is fine, but it's time to stop managing. He said he started weighing his decision around June.
"I started thinking this was getting a little rough. I thought that the fuel was getting a little low," Leyland said. "I knew that I'd get through it because I knew we'd be playing for something."
The Tigers figure to contend again next year, which may lead Dombrowski to look for a proven commodity who can come in and manage. Kirk Gibson, who led Detroit to the 1984 World Series title as a player, is now managing in Arizona, but Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall tried to quash any speculation that Gibson would return to the Tigers.
"We would not grant permission (to the Tigers to talk to Gibson) if asked because we want him here, and he told me this morning he has no interest in leaving," Hall said.
Detroit's players found out about Leyland's departure after Saturday night's game in Boston, where the Red Sox won Game 6 to take the series.
"You've got your head down, you lost and the season's over, and then Jim dropped that bomb on us," outfielder Torii Hunter said. "I just had a feeling that it could have been his last year. All year, he was kind of emotional, and I just felt it."
Leyland said there was no announcement Saturday because he wanted the focus to be on the victorious Red Sox. However, he was honest about how much this defeat hurt.
"With all due respect to the Boston Red Sox — who earned it, they won it, they deserve to be where they are — I truly believe the Detroit Tigers should be playing here tomorrow," Leyland said. "This is one that's going to stick with me, this is one that really hurts, because I really felt like we let it get away."
When Leyland arrived at the Tigers' spring training camp this year, it marked 50 seasons since he first showed up there as an 18-year-old prospect. His playing career never amounted to much, but his accomplishments as a manager over more than two decades have been impressive.
He is 1,769-1,728 overall during stints with the Tigers, Pirates, Marlins and Rockies.
"I had sent him a text yesterday morning, just to congratulate he and the organization," Boston manager John Farrell said. "Not only on a great team and a great year, and express the respect we have for him and certainly personally have for him throughout his career. To see the announcement today, and listen to him and know that early September this was clearly in his mind, that surprised me."
When Leyland took over the Tigers, they had gone 12 years without a winning season. During his tenure, they finished under .500 only once.
Detroit has become one of baseball's glamour teams of late, with stars like Cabrera, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer helping the team win games and draw fans. Cabrera won the Triple Crown and MVP award last year. Verlander won the MVP and Cy Young Award the previous season.
"It's been as much fun for me to manage Ramon Santiago as it has Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander," Leyland said. "Now in saying that, it was also an honor to manage the Triple Crown winner, an MVP, a Cy Young winner."
The Tigers should be able to keep their core of players mostly together for next season, but now they'll need to find a new manager to replace Leyland, who always earned high marks for his ability to keep his veterans focused.
"He really cares deeply about his players," utility man Don Kelly said. "When you go out there, the way he treats you, you want to run through a wall for him, go out there and get a win. That's the way he treated me. He treated everybody like that."
