Late yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my good friend Tiffany who wanted a show recommendation for that evening for two out-of-town guests and her 15 year-old son, Brandon. I didn't have to pause before telling her to take them to Cirque du Soleil's Mystere. Then I invited myself along. (vegasblog.latimes.com....rday_.html)
But beyond that specific, quite revealing instance is the general disappearance of an anti-federal-government ethos. Principles of a restrained federal government and distrust of that government - previously centerpieces of the conservative movement - have been discarded like yesterday 's trash in order to maintain praise of George Bush 's actions and to maximize the powers and reach of the Federal Government now that Bush controls it (glenngreenwald.blogspot.com....erday.html)
Now, I may be jumping the gun. After all, it's been less than two days since we started this. But I'm able to say something today that I haven't been able to say in weeks - "I feel better than I did yesterday . (www.npr.org....erday.html)

Yesterday was better. It was Arcadia, a golden land ofinnocence where young people respected their elders and betters,crime and wrongdoing didn't really exist outside London , and youdidn't have to lock your door. (lelant.info/yesterday.htm)

I attended yesterday 's Enterprise 2.0 Executive Forum while I still haven't had a chance to write up my observations, the event did attract some media coverage (chieftech.blogspot.com....se-20.html)

Yesterday takes the form of an acoustic ballad about a lost loved one. It was the first official recording by The Beatles that relied upon a performance by a single member of the band, although the background accompaniment of a string quartet was added a few days later during the editing stage. The final recording, which out of the band's members featured only Paul McCartney , differed so greatly from other works by The Beatles that the other three members of the band vetoed the song's release as a single in the United Kingdom. Although written solely by McCartney, the song was credited to both himself and John Lennon as "Lennon/McCartney", as were all Beatles songs written by either of the pair.

I have deliberately kept to the distant past and much has beenomitted. How trivial some of the misdoings of yesterday seem now,how much more dreadful others. And of course this is not thewhole story of our village. There are many tales of Lelantersshowing courage and kindness and wisdom and humanity. Theirvirtues shine out. No one can look at the names on the FirstWorld War roll of honour and war memorial of the village orrecall the story of Charles Hawes saving Alfred Gall fromdrowning at Brewery Quay and not be proud. However, when we readlowering stories of present misdeeds and nastiness, and dream ofa golden yesterday , we should remember that the mix of humannature does not change and there never was an Arcadian past.

Another gem of a book from the pen of Donald L Reid which spells out both the highs and lows of living in the former mining villages of Ayrshire's famous Doon Valley. Looking back always allows one a time to stop and take stock of events; a time to stare; a time to remember with a happy smile; a time to care about yesterday , today and tomorrow; and a time to think about the folk who have humbly touched our lives. These Lost Villages of Doon Valley, often referred to as Ghost Villages because they no longer exist, were full of lively, larger-than-life characters. The reader will find the stories of the past very moving and compelling. They will open your eyes wide to the rich tapestry of social history and forgotten heritage, evoking memories of those who lived in the lonely villages on the wind -swept moors high above the Valley of Doon (www.maybole.org....terday.htm)
The book runs to some 88 pages in 18 short chapters. The reader can dip into any chapter as they are all stand-alone. The photographs of yesterday and today are also sure to evoke many happy memories of friends and relations. This book is an ideal way for young folk to learn more about how they came to where they are today and appreciate the lives and times of those in whose footsteps they now walk. For those who actually lived in the Lost Villages it will bring memories flooding back as they journey down memory lane reliving happy and sad times of yesteryear (www.maybole.org....terday.htm)
I'm in San Diego at O'Reilly's Emerging Technology conference and taking some notes through the sessions unfortunately, tech difficulties meant that I didn't get great notes for a bunch of the sessions yesterday , but I did get two really interesting ones: Musical Myware, Felix Miller, CEO Last.fm. Felix introduced me to the term myware spyware that you run on your own activities, which helps you get a better handle on your needs and wants and helps your computer help you better. I love this idea: people are good at making decisions and computers are good at counting them (and computers are bad at making decisions and people are bad at counting them). My computer should note, count and process every decision I make it should notice that I never answer emials from certain people, it should notice that I never click through certain stories in my reader, that I load certain pages every day, that I often search my mailbox for certain kinds of messages and so on. That's stuff I'm totally unqualified to keep track of, and that computers are really good at: Myware is like spyware, but it lets you spy on yoursel (www.boingboing.net....erday.html)
There are numerous replies around the blogosphere to my post yesterday regarding the various dynamics characterizing the behavior of Bush followers. Iām replying here to as many of the serious and/or commonly voiced responses as I can. If any of the bloggers who responded think Iām neglecting to address or reply to some important point, I hope they will let me know (glenngreenwald.blogspot.com....erday.html)
Among pro-Bush bloggers, "Daily Kos" is used as a shorthand for the perceived prevailing orthodoxies in the Kos community, just as "LGF" is used far more to refer to the sentiments one regularly finds among the cesspool of LGF comments. Indeed, just among the comments in response to my post yesterday , one can see precisely this use of "Kos" to refer to the writings and comments of all participants rather than Markos himself. See, for example, here ("Greenwaldās writing is little more than a tired echo of what conservatives can read on a daily basis at Kos") and ("If Greenwald would read something besides the "me too" screeds on Kos and Atrios"); and here (Iām engaged in a "slow descent into HuffingKosLand") (glenngreenwald.blogspot.com....erday.html)
UPDATE If The New York Times gave me a pen and blank piece of paper and said that I could write any article I wanted to support my argument from yesterday , I would have written the article published today by Bush admirer Elisabeth Bumiller, entitled "An Outspoken Conservative Loses his Place at the Table" (h/t Devoman in Comments). It begins this way (glenngreenwald.blogspot.com....erday.html)
That would be leading neo-conservative light William Kristol saying exactly what I said yesterday which (when I said it) was supposedly an example of crazed leftist idiocy: namely, that "Bush was the movement and the cause." Now granted, Kristol is claiming that this has changed over the last couple of years, but Bartlett's plight negates that claim rather strongly, and the fact that Kristol himself acknowledges a conflating of George Bush with "the movement and the cause" ought to give honest Bush followers serious pause for thought. Although Kristol says it in his characteristically understated way, it's a pretty serious condemnation to say that George Bush the person became the cause for "conservatives."

What a splendid gift to know you feel better than yesterday , and how humbling to realize you'd not had that feeling for some while. Yes! this day is yours! May you have many feel-better days, Dear and Valiant Heart Leroy! Please convey a big hug to Laurie too from all of us for making this journey with you. (www.npr.org....erday.html)
leroy, i've been mulling over since yesterday that you find cancer worse than summary execution in Latin America, which you faced in your news job. i feel the opposite. i think it is hard for me to imagine a worse death than summary execution (for no reason or stupid reasons) with no chance whatsoever to examine one's death or a chance to lead the "examined life" prior to death. i know those of you in the news business are rather blase about the risks you undertook but for those of us not in that business, it is quite a horrifying idea. i don't like being a cancer patient but at least it is a kind of violence that i can wrap my mind around whereas summary execution in latin america, i cannot. it is likewise hard for me to imagine a worse death than daniel pearlman's and the thoughts left with his survivors. so all in all, yes, i will take cancer over summary execution in these hostile places! congrats on finding a pain reliever that worked. car (www.npr.org....erday.html)
Although the other group members liked Yesterday well enough, they didn't consider it Beatles material - especially not after George Martin , the band's producer, suggested scoring it with nothing but acoustic guitar and a string section. Martin thought of releasing it as a solo Paul single, but even McCartney balked at that; his own main concern was that the result not sound too much like easy-listening music. Finally, compromises were reached: Martin used a classier string quartet for the arrangement , and McCartney agreed not to release the song as a single in England. (Though it was released there on an EP of the same name, and as a single in 1976. (oldies.about.com....terday.htm)
The song was done in two takes, Paul having reversed two lines accidentally in the first. The string quartet was laid down the next day, with McCartney's vocal fed into the studio as a guide. Martin 's contribution to Yesterday , other than the arrangement , was to convince Paul that a one-word title was not corny. Paul, for his part, had but one instruction to the string quartet: no vibrato. (He was reportedly afraid the result would sound like gypsy music. (oldies.about.com....terday.htm)
Capitol made the decisions on which songs were released as singles in the US, however, but Yesterday was not even considered for a-side single release there; it was relegated only to the flip of Act Naturally, sung by Ringo, the group's most popular member in the US. However, fan reaction was immediate, and the song was quickly repositioned as the a-side. (oldies.about.com....terday.htm)
Yesterday is a pop song originally recorded by The Beatles for their album Help! (1965). According to the Guinness Book of Records, Yesterday has the most cover versions of any song ever written, while BMI asserts that it was performed over seven million times in the 20th century alone. The song remains popular today with more than 3000 recorded cover versions, the first hitting the United Kingdom top 10 three months after the release of Help!. Some sources still assert that White Christmas by Bing Crosby has more cover versions (myoldkyhome.blogspot.com....erday.html)
