“A Real Snor’easter”: The Best Supreme Court Review You’re Probably Not Reading |
LTB logo |
I don't know what John Elwood did to the people at SCOTUSblog to get himself sentenced to the task of reviewing the list of cases that the Supreme Court has either relisted or held, meaning it has not yet made a decision whether to grant review in those cases. His column, "Relist (and hold) watch," would ordinarily be ... |
As the rest of Washington’s elite huddled at home yesterday in front of cable news and Three’s Company reruns, the Justices took the bench as usual, issuing orders and pointed oral argument hypotheticals over the howling gales. Proving again that neither snow nor rain nor Frankenstorm will stay your correspondent from ... |
As you can see, John has a talent that has not been dampened by Sandy, and it also refuses to be completely buried even under the weight of unfortunately necessary sentences like this one: |
The petition argues that the lower court’s decision conflicts with the “curtilage” rule from United States v. Dunn (1987) and implicates a circuit split with the Ninth Circuit about whether an absent co-tenant’s prior refusal to consent to a search invalidates the consent given by a physically present co-tenant under G... |
Did you make it past "curtilage"? If so, that alone probably qualifies you to pass the bar in California, but few could rise to that challenge. You should try, though, because there are gems in (almost) every paragraph. |
John is a partner at Vinson & Elkins in D.C. who clerked for Justice Kennedy, and here's a revelation that will not surprise you: he specializes in appellate litigation. He also contributes to The Green Bag law journal, having written several pieces called "What Were They Thinking: the Supreme Court in Revue." Again, t... |
I met John (via email) back in 1999/2000 at a time when we were both contributing to the Green Bag; he then had to recuse himself for a while because he went to work for the Justice Department, serving in the Office of Legal Counsel from 2005 to 2009. (As you may recall, the OLC has written some real howlers over the y... |
We are done, and none too soon—my whale-oil lamp is guttering. If the kraken that appears to have swum up my street doesn’t do me in, we’ll be back next week for an update that is every bit as scintillating as this one. |
See, in the legal profession, you often have to put up with "curtilage," but sometimes you get rewarded with "kraken." (So to speak.) It doesn't happen that often but it's worth noting when it does. |
Numero Uno Articuno (初陣！バトルファクトリー！！（前編） The First Battle! The Battle Factory! (Part One)) is the 44th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle. |
Episode Plot |
The day comes to an end, while Max tries to find the Battle Factory on PokéNav. Brock tells they must have taken a wrong turn, while Max tries to convince they must be near. Later, however, they did not find the Battle Factory, and the night is here. Max apologizes himself, so Brock makes a spot for the night. Ash is u... |
The engine rattles and the gang becomes dirty by the smoke. After that, they don't see the plane nor Articuno. Team Rocket saw this, too, and plan to go to the Battle Factory to catch the Pokémon inside. Meowth thinks Articuno would cool down the boss during hot days. Team Rocket is tempted to catch it, but James remin... |
Next day, the gang is out of the Center and Joy is about to give the directions. However, Scott tells her he can take them there. Ash greets him and Brock, May and Max introduce themselves to him. Later, Scott drives them (quite fast) in the car, making them dizzy, but he kept his promise - they are at the Battle Facto... |
Noland introduces Sergio, his apprentice. Noland introduces himself as the man in charge of the Battle Factory - a Factory Head, one of the Frontier Brains. Ash would like to start the battle immediately, so Noland accepts the challenge. Team Rocket spot them, planning to take some parts as well. Sergio calls some Poké... |
May and Max go inside a building. Though very dark, they see Munchlax, as well as the plane they saw yesterday. They see some snow coming, as well as Articuno behind Munchlax. Noland admits he flew yesterday with the Articuno. May and Max are impressed by Noland's skills, but Noland tells them Articuno is his friend. H... |
Ash goes to send Grovyle, but Team Rocket take his Poké Ball. Next, they take the Battle Factory's Pokémon and fly off, but Noland flies, tackling his plane with theirs. Their plane crashes and Articuno flies down, catching the plane and sending it "flying", as well as using Ice Beam to blast them off. At the end of th... |
Factory Head Noland |
• The episode's English title is a play on "numero uno" (number one), and Articuno (part of which is originated from the word "uno"), also as a rhyme. |

Mr. Operator R.I.P. |
We lost Mr. Operator today. Bernie found him lying by the base of one of the big trees. |
His nose was bloodied so it seems that he fell from the tree. Yes, it was Mr. Operator. We were able to identify him by his blind eye. |
When we found him he was dead and getting stiff, but his body was still warm. What a big, beautiful squirrel he was! |
There was a terrible storm last night, with thunder and lightening and a fierce wind. I can't help but wonder if it didn't somehow weaken him. In the past I've thought that maybe he had arthritis, and perhaps the storm exacerbated it, causing him to lose his footing on the tree. It could also have been a fight with ... |
It's a shame that he made it through all the rough weather of the long winter, only to die at the break of spring, with the promise of good times in the air. |
In fact I had just recently blogged about Mr. Operator, and how he was already starting to enjoy the spring weather. |
What a character! And what a sad day for us, losing our old friend. |
I think we were meant to find him. We left him there under the hedges so his spirit could take its time leaving. |
Goodbye, Mr. Oppie! |
We will miss you. |

Songs From This Book |
Some comments about these recordings |
I apologize that I can't offer better quality recordings of many of these songs. My health has declined in recent years, making it difficult to do any serious recording, and in truth there's never been any danger of me being called the greatest singer or guitar player on the planet. I am and always have been first and ... |
Although there are a few studio recordings here, most of the book-related recordings are rough, one-take "work-tapes": recordings that are usually made when a song is brand new, often before the songwriter(s) have even learned it and before the melody and lyrics are locked in. A work-tape is essentially a re-write and ... |
The songs on this playlist are sequenced to match the order in which the songs appear in the book. Should you notice a difference between the audio and printed versions of a song, it means that the song has been re-written since the recording was made, so the printed lyric is the correct, and most recent version. |
Life is hard to understand |
The reasons why you take my hand |
Flowers grow and then they wilt |
Maybe things could change. |
But I will tell you |
That we can't go back to when it all started |
But maybe in time we won't want to |
No one really knows any better than you or I. |
When the full moon comes out |
And the sun sets behind the hills |
Then maybe I will see |
The truth in the night which hunts my dreams. |
For the sun and the moon know no bounds |
They are free to go around |
Yet do they become bored to the routine of life? |
Why is life to futile |
I look at the world only to see despair |
People lie and cheat, yet no one turn to see their hatred |
Blind to the real word |
I only see. |
Every day I see the cruelty which now blinds me |
And keeps me from the light |
Will I ever know the truth |
Will I ever be free to do wants right. |
Warm droplets trickle down my face and fall to the floor |
Cold crimson dries on my wounds. |
Ivy vines grow over old ruins |
Dust fall on the furniture, covering all traces of life |
Lyes are whispered in the wind |
Screams are lost to the night. |
Only the moon knows the true course of death |
Only the sun knows the true course of life |
Listening flowers of the solemn ground |
Talking tree telling the story of how it came to pass. |
The earth grows cold and bored to the tranquil life of the bigger picture |
The sturdy presence of the watchful eyes of the animals |
The frozen touch of those gone |
The burning touch of the Devil betting for your soul. |
Fire or Ice is how the world will come to an end |
Yet the humans lost to the reality of it is their fault |
