Fernando Alonso's second Spanish Grand Prix victory flew in the face of precedent. No-one before had won at the Circuit de Catalunya from the third row of the rid but the Spaniard did not let that stand in his way, cruising around in the final laps to finish nine seconds ahead of Kimi Räikkönen's Lotus, who in turn was a comfortable margin ahead of Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari.
Behind the podium party, Sebastian Vettel failed to impress, though finishing fourth was sufficient to maintain his lead in the Drivers' Championship. Behind him came team-mate Mark Webber to ensure Red Bull stay top of the Constructor's Championship table also.
From pole position Mercedes' Nico Rosberg fell to sixth at the flag – better rewarded than team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who dropped from second to 12th but displaying Mercedes' expected lack of long-run pace. He finished ahead of Paul di Resta for Force India, seventh and the two McLarens of Jenson Button and Sergio Pérez were eighth and ninth respectively. Daniel Ricciardo took the final point for Toro Rosso, narrowly prevailing over Sauber's Esteban Gutiérrez on the final lap.
Tyre choice did not seem as critical as had been the case in Bahrain but nevertheless this was a race where strategy played its part. The majority of the points-scorers opted for a four-stop race but Räikkönen, Rosberg and Button eked out their rubber and did only three. Once those choices became clear the question to be answered in the latter half of the race was whether Räikkönen's frugality or Alonso's pace would win out.
Alonso had put himself in a strong position, passing Räikkönen and Hamilton at the start to move up to third behind the equally fast-starting Vettel and Rosberg. It was, said the Ferrari man speaking after the race in the FIA press conference, essential to his chance of winning.
"I think we knew that to win the race we needed to pass people at the start. I saw Kimi and Lewis running a little bit wide in turn one so I changed trajectory and I had a clean exit in turn two. I passed Kimi and I said 'why not also Hamilton?' I had a little bit of KERS that I saved from the start for turn three, so I used that to pass Hamilton and I think that was a lot in the race – [but] also when exiting the first pit stop."
Alonso got ahead of Vettel in that first pit window and forced his way past Rosberg shortly afterwards as the Mercedes faded from contention. Räikkönen, however, did not quite manage to do the same and got stuck behind a manifestly slower Vettel for several laps. The Finn, though, did not believe those laps were a significant factor in the race's outcome.
"Obviously I have to overtake and I took maybe a few laps more than I expected but I got past him and I really could pull away," said Räikkönen. "In the end I really don't think those were the decisions that were the deciding story of the race.
"I think we deserved to be second and not really winning today. It's OK for the team, the guys did a good job and we go for the next race to try to do better and get the best out of it."
That Ferrari had genuine pace today was underlined by the form of Massa. Having qualified sixth and been demoted to ninth for blocking, the Brazilian recovered his position superbly to take his first podium of the season.
"Our car was really superb for this track," said Massa. "The degradation on the tyres was not [as minimal as] Lotus but I think we did the best as we're supposed to do and we showed a good performance."
Having won in Bahrain, the previous round of the championship, more might have been expected from Red Bull, especially given Vettel's good start which took him into second behind Rosberg. The World Champion, however, refused to be disappointed with finishing off the podium, claiming he ran a good race. Vettel also suggested that Red Bull aren't completely comfortable with the behaviour of the tyres.
"I think we can be happy with fourth today," he said. "The first three cars were a little bit too fast for us and regarding looking after the tyres, they did a better job. We need to catch up; we're not going the pace of the car, we're going the pace of the tyres and obviously we do something to make the tyres wear more. We got some good points today, although of course we wanted more."
For Alonso, though, there were no such problems. His second Spanish Grand Prix victory and a third on Spanish soil took ahead of Nigel Mansell in the all-time list of F1 winners with 32 wins. Asked if he had ambitions to catch Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Michael Schumacher ahead, Alonso suggested he had other priorities:
"I'd just be happy if I finish second in all the races and I win more championships."
He moves up to third place in this year's battle.

Fernando, how much did this crowd… we saw you go off to see the crowd… How much did the embrace of the crowd help you today?
They might be fierce rivals on track but Formula One's stars today came together as one with the FIA to support United Nations' Global Road Safety Week, which this week drew attention to the need to protect pedestrians the world over.
According to the World Health Organisation more than 5,000 pedestrians are killed on the world's roads every week and these fatalities make up a large percentage of the 1.3 million killed on the roads every year.
This was Mercedes' third pole in succession and two-in-a-row for Rosberg as once again the team from Brackley demonstrated they are without peer over one lap. Sebastian Vettel, third for Red Bull Racing and Lotus' Kimi Räikkönen, fourth, will take comfort from the fact that Mercedes have consistently faded over longer stints this season, proving uncompetitive in the long runs.
No-one has ever won a grand prix from off the first two rows at the Circuit de Catalunya but the partisan crowd, a sea of Fernando Alonso-supporting red will hope to see that statistic overturned, with the home favourite starting from fifth. He lines up on row three alongside the Lotus of Romain Grosjean. Alonso's team-mate Felipe Massa qualified sixth but will take a three-place drop on the grid for impeding Red Bull's Mark Webber. Webber himself will start seventh, alongside McLaren's Sergio Pérez. Massa slots into ninth with Force India's Paul di Resta tenth.
Rosberg dominated Q3. He went out on track as soon as the pitlane opened and was the second man across the line, taking P1 and eclipsing the early benchmark set by the much-fancied Räikkönen.
Thereafter, Rosberg was never bested. Vettel opted to do only one run in Q3 and for a time looked like he might snatch a first pole at the Circuit de Catalunya, setting times faster than Rosberg in sectors one and two before fading toward the end of the lap and slotting into P2. That would soon become P3 as Hamilton made it an all-Mercedes front row. Rosberg, meanwhile, improved his time by a tenth, setting 1:20.718 as the new standard but the other pole contenders, Massa, Alonso and Webber could not get close to the mark.
Mercedes' clear pleasure at a front-row lockout was tempered by a slight air of unreality: while supreme over one lap, the evidence of the last two races suggests they will struggle to live with the cars behind over a race distance – a notion endorsed by Rosberg in the FIA press conference following the session.
"I'm not going to sit here and say I'm very confident that I can go for the win tomorrow," said the German driver. "No, the target needs to be a little bit less than that I think – maybe a podium."
He did, however, suggest that Mercedes would not struggle to the extent they had in Bahrain, where conditions exaggerated minor failings.
Despite this, Vettel will no doubt feel confident after his third place, which is strengthened by his decision to run the entire qualifying session on medium tyres, leaving him a full compliment of the preferred hard compound tyres for the race.
"We had a pretty smooth qualifying session," said the world champion. "Again, a little bit of a different approach than the majority of people – using option tyres only. Whether that helps us tomorrow we'll have to wait and see. I'm happy with today's result."
Räikkönen said fourth was about the best he could have done in qualifying and expressed a belief that his car could move up in the race, a view echoed by Alonso. "I think this is the maximum of what we have at the moment in our hands," said the Spaniard. "We know that the race pace is maybe a little bit better for us, so we need to wait for our opportunities tomorrow. We need to have a clean start, a good first lap, and then a good strategy, because tyre degradation will again be very high. I feel confident. The car felt good yesterday, I felt competitive. Historically Sunday has been our best day of the weekend, so no reason not to be on the podium tomorrow."
Behind the Q3 runners it is Toro Rosso who seem to have fared best in the upgrade battle. Having looked strong throughout practice, the team from Faenza qualified 11th and 12th, with Daniel Ricciardo in front of Jean-Eric Vergne.
A disappointed Adrian Sutil was 13th for Force India, having struggled to find clean air in the last minutes of Q2. He is joined on row seven by Jenson Button, the 2009 Spanish Grand Prix winner struggling to get the tyres of his McLaren working to his liking.
Nico Hülkenberg was 15th for Sauber, and would have been alongside team-mate Esteban Gutiérrez but the Mexican picked up a three-place penalty for impeding Räikkönen. That drops him behind the Williams, both of whom failed to get out of Q1 – though Valtteri Bottas has the consolation of out-pacing last year's winner Pastor Maldonado – and Giedo van der Garde, who had an excellent day for Caterham. Jules Bianchi will line up 20th for Marussia, ahead of team-mate Chilton, with Charles Pic last after struggling to find balance in the upgraded Caterham.

Nico, two in a row. Just looking at the lap there on the monitors, it looked like a very clean lap. Tell us about where you found the speed today?
Ferrari's Felipe Massa topped the final practice timesheet ahead of qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix with a time of 1:21.901 at the Circuit de Catalunya.
The Brazilian just edged Kimi Raikkonen, the Lotus driver ending the one-hour session just six thousandths of a second behind the Ferrari man. Third place went to Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber, who finished the final practice session 0.143 adrift of Massa's benchmark.
Fourth place was taken by Lotus' Romain Grosjean, while Sebastian Vettel finished with the morning's fifth-fastest time, a lap of 1:22.229, just over three tenths adrift of P1.
A straightforward session, run in dry conditions, saw the drivers spend the first half hours concentrating on the hard compound tyre and it was Fernando Alonso who held sway on the harder of the two Pirelli compounds on offer. The Spaniard's lap of 1:23.006, set after 25 minutes, was good enough to keep control of proceedings until the switch to mediums began with 25 minutes remaining.
Even then Alonso stayed at the top, his opening time on mediums bettering his hard tyre standard by seven tenths. Mercedes Nico Rosberg, by far the busiest man on track with 26 laps, briefly climbed to P2 with his first run on the medium compound but he quickly dropped down the order as the rest of the field strapped on the quicker tyre as the session wound down. The German finished in 11th place.
After his early dominance Alonso settled for sixth place in the end. The local hero was then followed by the Force Indias of Paul Di Resta and Adrian Sutil. Lewis Hamilton was ninth and the top 10 was rounded out by Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne.

TEAM REPRESENTATIVES – Dave GREENWOOD (Marussia), Mike COUGHLAN (Williams), Mark SMITH (Caterham), Andrew GREEN (Force India), Nikolas TOMBAZIS (Ferrari), Adrian NEWEY (Red Bull Racing)
Mike Coughlan, if we can start with you. You won here last year but what conclusions are we to draw from your performances so far this season?
After a quiet morning, Red Bull Racing and Sebastian Vettel rose to the top in the afternoon at the Circuit de Catalunya. With the track properly dry and temperatures rising, Vettel wasted no time in exiting the pitlane when the light turned green. He was followed by most of the field, with 19 cars on track within the first five minutes. He started on the experimental hard tyre, others followed with a mix of that and the standard version. Lap times were soon much quicker than those set in the morning, with Mercedes' Nico Rosberg leading the way with a 1:23.801 at the 15 minute mark. Team-mate Lewis Hamilton faired less well, spinning his car onto the kerbs at Turn 11.
Medium tyres came out early than usual with Webber taking a second out of Rosberg's time on his first run shortly after the half-hour point. Webber was shortly toppled though, as Vettel beat him by hundredths with 1:22.808 just before the half-way point, and Fernando Alonso slipped his Ferrari in between the Red Bull pair.
With many drivers settling into long runs in the second half of the session, the order at the top stayed largely static to the flag. Kimi Räikkönen was fourth for Lotus ahead of Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari. Then came Hamilton and Rosberg. They were followed by Adrian Sutil for Force India eighth, Jean-Eric Vergne's Toro Rosso ninth and Paul di Resta in the second Force India tenth. Di Resta retired his car with 20 minutes of the session remaining, parking by the pitlane exit after a tyre failure damaged his bodywork.
No such troubles for Vettel though, the World Champion ran to the flag. Speaking afterwards he professed himself happy with the afternoon but also suggested the developments to his car this week are not as significant as has been made out. "We have some new parts here but the days of big, big upgrades don't really happen now with the regulations how they are," he said. "This afternoon was fairly conclusive, but this morning wasn't really much good with the weather."

Here at the Swiss Diamond laboratory in Sierre, Switzerland, our engineers have developed a method of combining real diamond crystals with a high quality non-stick composite for superior cookware performance. For this unique technology, the Swiss Diamond coating received a Gold Medal at the 1999 International Exhibition of Inventors.
Combined with a technologically advanced production process, a commitment to green manufacturing and a unique approach to induction cookware, this innovation puts Swiss Diamond at the top of the industry.
The most crucial advantage of Swiss Diamond cookware is our premium non stick coating. Made of the highest quality nonstick components and reinforced with real diamond crystals, it has been shown in lab tests to outperform and outlast the competition:
The Swiss Diamond nonstick coating has been named the best nonstick cookware for the past three years in a row by the leading U.S. consumer organization and is also ranked #1 in both Australia and New Zealand.
Swiss Diamond® cookware is made of pressure-cast aluminum for uniform heat distribution with no hot spots. It is guaranteed not to warp. Each piece has a perfectly flat base for use on any ceramic, gas or electric cooktop. (Induction series also available.)
The ergonomically-designed handles are well balanced and temperature safe up to 260°C (500°F), allowing you to finish cooking in the oven. Sturdy tempered glass lids feature an adjustable steam vent for advanced moisture control and are also oven-safe.
HIGH-TECH PRODUCTION PROCESS Watch the video
Swiss Diamond products are manufactured exclusively in Sierre, Switzerland. The production process for a Swiss Diamond product is quite complex:
Swiss Diamond is committed to green manufacturing practices. The factory is powered by 100% hydroelectric power from the Swiss Alps, and the production process is free of PFOA from start to finish. An undrinkable water source is used to supply the cooling system and coating lines, and water used in the coating lines is recycled.
All products are made with recyclable aluminum; irregular items and scrap leftovers from the factory are recycled within the production process. Furnaces are powered by natural gas, and the factory runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure that furnaces are fully utilized.
The production of our nonstick coating is also environmentally friendly. We do not use a pre-fabricated base. Instead, we manufacture the coating material in-house, importing each component to our Swiss factory and mixing it ourselves. This reduces transportation emissions, packaging and associated environmental impact needed to supply us with the finished goods. Coating materials leftovers are disposed in a special 3rd party facility to separate the components and minimize environmental impact.
Swiss Diamond uses a unique process to make our cookware suitable for induction stoves. Instead of embedding a magnetic core, which makes disruptive buzzing sounds when the cookware is heated, we infuse a ferromagnatic base onto the cookware – guaranteeing it will never buzz. Learn more

Finally! On my third try. I was turned around by snow and ice last Novemeber on two occasions, so it was very satisfying to stand on top of this rock. This is one tough hill that was harder than most of the Colorado 14ers that I have done. I can see it from my back deck and on my daily drive to work, so now I can stop shaking a fist at her. Bring a topo, compass and preferably a GPS. Route finding is key for this peak, although the trail above Magog and Gog is well marked with colored ribbons and many cairns. | ||

Although not one of the more popular peaks in the front range, Cameron Cone had been calling my name for sometime. It was late Saturday morning when I reached the summit, and there wasn't a cloud for miles. Pikes Peak in all its glory was beginning to feel the breath of Fall, as many of the aspen leaves had changed to gold, and the only sound that could be heard were a few birds chirping here and there. Finally, for anyone looking for amazing views Cameron Cone is a great spot! | ||

I've been wanting to climb this mountain for some time now. Today was an overcast day with alternating fog and rain. I never even saw the mountain until I was basically on the summit. From the summit I had a great 360-degree view of... clouds. And nothing else. But it was great to make it up the mountain anyway, and I'll head back up on a nice sunny day. | ||

TUCSON - Rain and much cooler temperatures kick off the Wildcat's homecoming weekend.
Light to moderate rain showers started around 3am in Tucson and continue their push through the morning hours, according to Meteorologist John Patrick. Most sites around the Old Pueblo have seen relatively light rainfall with this system picking up between 0.04"-0.16" over the past 24 hours. Rain chances will start to taper off from west to east by midday with the big homecoming game drying out by 11:30am. The best precipitation chances this afternoon remain in the higher elevations of Graham, Greenlee and Cochise Counties with the snow level falling between 5-6 thousand feet.
Temperatures today will remain 15-20 degrees below average with a forecast high of 61 for Tucson. As skies start to clear late tonight and cool air continues to filter in behind this cold front some areas will see freezing temperatures. A freeze warning has been put in place mainly for areas south and east of Tucson from 1am to 8am early Sunday morning. Remember to protect your pets plants and pipes.
Veteran's Day Sunday looks even cooler to wrap up the weekend with a forecast high of only 58 for Tucson. With mostly clear skies expected Sunday night hard freeze conditions could occur for portions southeast Arizona, mainly valley locations east of Tucson. A hard freeze watch is in place for late Sunday night into early Monday morning meaning temperatures could fall below 28.

Alfred Stieglitz: The Lake George Years
In the history of photography, and more particularly, in the history of American photography, Alfred Stieglitz looms large. Born in 1864, a year or so before the American Civil war ended, Stieglitz died not long after the atom bombs ended World War II. When he was a boy growing up in Hoboken, New Jersey, photography was a complex and even dangerous art. The Daguerreotype was just giving way to the tintype and roll film wouldn't be invented for another 20 years. But, by the time he died, colour film was an established technology and photography itself had been a medium of the masses for 50 years.
Self portrait, 1907, printed 1930, Gelatin silver photograph, Stieglitz started taking photographs in the 1880s while still an engineering student. At 24 he won first prize in a British photographic exhibition judged by the renowned English photographer, P.H. Emerson. There were many more such accolades to come. By 1889 Stieglitz was working and exhibiting in New York and was well on the way to becoming an important voice on the American photographic scene. His intense involvement in what we now call the Pictoralist movement led him in 1905 to set up the 'Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession' with the painter and photographer Edward Steichen in the latter's studio at 291 Fifth Avenue in New York. '291' as the gallery came to be known, opened naturally enough with a show of work by Photo-Secession photographers. But 291 did not confine its exhibitions to photography. Indeed, it is credited with being the first gallery in the USA to show the works August Rodin, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. It was also the making of a generation of young American artists, including Georgia O'Keeffe. Although it only survived until 1917, 291 put Stieglitz at the epicentre of Modernism. Two years before 291 opened its doors, Stieglitz had begun to produce the seminal photographic publication Camera Work. Widely regarded as one of the finest American art magazines of the early 20th century, Camera Work was an extraordinary labour of love. (The production process for instance involved hand-tipping individual photogravure images into each copy of the magazine.)
Although his early work was very much in the Pictoralist tradition, by the time Stieglitz formed the Photo-Secessionist group, he had begun to move away from the highly manipulated and painterly style that characterised late Pictorialism. Eschewing excessive manipulation and elaborate printing processes, his work increasingly moved toward the kind of unvarnished realism that would become the hallmark of modern photography.
Equivalent, 1924, Gelatin silver photograph, On June 17, 2010, the Art Gallery of NSW will be showing the first exhibition of Alfred Stieglitz photographs ever held in Australia. The collection of images on display in the AGNSW's Rudy Komon gallery has been drawn from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the Museum of Modern Art New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, J Paul Getty Museum Los Angeles and Museum of Fine Arts Boston, as well as other institutions. Alfred Stieglitz: The Lake George years includes 150 photographs and publications from the 1910s to 1930s. Among the works on display will be representative images from the cloud photograph series Stieglitz called the Equivalents, as well as photographs from his multi-decade series of portraits of his wife, Georgia O'Keeffe. For more details on the show and associated film series, please visit the AGNSW website, www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au. The show concludes on September 5, 2010. See Photo Review magazine Issue 44 for the print edition of this profile which includes additional images.

First Outing with 'The Brick' (early post-WWII Argus C3)
First test roll of my father-in-law's ca. 1946-47 Argus C3 Brick. It needs a major cleaning; lots of dust and the range-finder dials need a drop or two of oil. Seems to be in acceptable working order, though. Happily, any 'bad' pictures were due to my playing with the aperture settings in low-light conditions on 100 iso film. The sprocket light-leaks on some shots are probably due to a film-loading issue (I didn't hold down the film release at first, so some sprockets ripped as I started to advance the film); they went away after half the roll. The counter mechanism will take some getting used to. The range-finder is surprisingly not too out of alignment, but I'll adjust it anyhow when we take it apart to clean. Overall, this is a fantastic camera, and I can't wait to become better acquainted. Odd note: More strangers commented on this camera as we were walking around with it than any other I've used! Home-processed black and white roll #12 (developer: Rodinal).

You know there was a time in life where you owned a sweet, sweet bean bag chair. (In fact, it might have been the only furniture you owned.) Amelia spotted this bear-shaped one, $135, and we must admit that we are awfully smitten kittens. But we're torn, because these log pillows, $40-$69, are kind of ultra rad, too.

I'm pretty new to gardening in general, though would like to dip my toe into it some. I decided on a square foot garden for a couple of reasons, but now that I know what I am building, I have to decide what to plant. Being that its almost August what would be the best to grow? Also since this is a square foot garden, whats the best method of planting, or should I just get germinated vegetables? I was thinking broccoli, cabbage, and peas. Am I too far out of season for those crops? Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
You're not too late for fall crops. Broccoli, cabbage, peas, beets, carrots, cauliflower & beans to name a few. Still time for spinach & chard also. Good luck! |

currently the two loading zones are still there -- unused. I would like to see the one in Fantasyland turned into a meet and greet zone for Pinocchio characters. -- but that will never happen.
First, let me say WELCOME to the DisneyWorldTrivia.com boards! We hope you'll help spread the word and make our site a success!
That being said, I agree with you about the unfortunately unused loading areas. When I was there last week, there were afew characters at the Fantasyland one, and if I remember correctly, they were from Alice in Wonderland.

where exactly are these loading areas? nothing from my last trip is popping out at me
The loading area in Fantasyland is near the exit of It's A Small World. There is a small pond in front of it. Looks like a chalet on a small hill. There is a wooden fence around it. It's on your right if you are heading to Liberty Square from Fantasyland!
The one in Tomorrowland is next to the entrance to Space Mountain. On the right as you are about to enter SM. Underneath it is a walkway and some restrooms.
Ring any bells???
You know, I have always known where the Fantasyland one is, but I have never really noticed the Tomorrowland one.
1Hour... maybe you can get us a pic of each on your next trip!

AHHHH! yes! i saw the chalet! wondered what that was!
i was there in 1992 and i don't remember the sky way ride at all...
but...the one in fantasyland would be a GREAT character place instead of the stroller parking it seems to be now...
thanks for the info!
Actually with a big rehab coming to It's A Small World, I'd like to see them remove the old skyway station and tie this area in with IASW, if there is a good way to do it. I think that there probably is enough room that some imaginatve work on the facade of the building might make this possible. Moving the queue entrance and exit for IASW would help cut down on the congestion in its current location crowd flow for IASW and Peter Pans queues really can make this area a bit of a bottleneck at times.Originally Posted by adambreakey

I know the Small World upgrade does include better stroller parking for that area, but not sure how. I do hope they take over the Skyway station.

The NBOTW this time is actually an off-shoot of the site owner's main blog. I fell in love right away over there. I mean, how can you not love a self proclaimed "idiot"? Oh wait, the quote is about a wife proclaiming idiocy. No matter. He still just cracks me up with his fresh and lively content.
On this site, he is a word vandal. Not too many of those critters around, me thinks. And with good reason. When you go aand visit there, you'll find that Derek waxes poetic about a great variety of topics. It seems that his primary occupation is to get folks to think – a herculean task these days to be sure.
Here are his postings in January. Prolific somehow seems inadequate.
- Free Is Still Alive
- Left Or Right?
- I'll Buy An iPad
- Inglish
- Gathering Dust
- Socially Speaking
- Ahhh Rochat!
- No News Day
- Food Grows In Plastic
- Pathetic And So Soon Forgotten

- The Ultimate Idiots of All Time
So, I think that Derek Haines has a site that is certainly worthy of the NBOTW. I encourage all of you to skedaddle on over The Word Vandal and have a look-see. When you're done there, go over to his main site and get muy entertained.
Cheers, Derek. Thanks for puttin' it all out there.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse demonstrate restorative power of music at Vancouver concert
At Rogers Arena on Sunday, November 11
It was a good night for community singing. "O Canada" opened, "Happy Birthday" closed, and in the middle everyone got to yell along with the chorus to "F*!#in' Up".
That's "Why do I keep fuckin' up?" in case you didn't know. And it's a fun thing to shout.
It's fun to sing "O Canada" too, especially on Remembrance Day and in the company of Neil Young, who really does epitomize the true north strong and free. It was also rather sweet to croon "Happy Birthday" to everyone's favourite Ontario boy, even if Young's show with long-time compadres Crazy Horse ended a bit shy of his actual 67th. And it was definitely a treat to see the stooped, jowly rock star who stepped on-stage at 9 p.m. turn into the beaming, youthful figure who reluctantly departed two hours later.
You want proof of music's restorative power? Check out a Neil Young concert. By the time Young launched into a blistering rendition of Buffalo Springfield's 1967 hit "Mr. Soul", every greybeard in the crowd was an adolescent all over again.
As for proof of his personal agelessness, the 183-minute version of "Walk Like a Giant"—from Young's just released 35th studio album, Psychedelic Pill—brought the noise with the fury of a hormonally crazed teenager who's just discovered the electric guitar. The hourlong coda alone—a scorched-earth foray into hammer-of-the-gods howitzer blasts and six-string banshee wailing—could easily have given Godspeed You! Black Emperor a lesson in end-of-the-world soundtracking.
Okay, we kid—but only about the running times, and not by much.
Aside from a few other excursions into functional nostalgia, including a heartbroken "The Needle and the Damage Done" and an appropriately punked-up "My My, Hey Hey", Young and Crazy Horse delivered mostly elongated versions of the already very long songs on Psychedelic Pill.
This didn't bother many in the audience: if you know the Horse, you know that occasional passages of tedium are the price you pay for those transcendent moments of inspiration that only this particular combination of forces can deliver. So if on this night "Twisted Road" was more lead than gold, the poignant "Ramada Inn" more than repaid our interest with its lilting chorus and liquid Les Paul lead lines.
In fact, Young's electric guitars crackled with energy all night long, whether he was replicating the overdriven glory of 1969's "Cinnamon Girl" or exploring a recently purchased electronic toy that gave every other note a rumbling, subterranean, and wholly otherworldly afterglow.
Yes, the old guy was in good form.
The same can't necessarily be said of the support acts, the Sadies and Los Lobos, both of whom largely wasted the opportunity to riff on the Psychedelic Pill concept with some lysergic action of their own.
Given a shamefully brief 20-minute opening slot, Toronto four-piece the Sadies played the Louvin Brothers' country-gospel standard "There's a Higher Power" and flatpicking guitar workout "Ridge Runner Reel" rather than venture into the warped twang-pop of their excellent 2010 release Darker Circles. And Los Lobos were, perhaps predictably, all over the map, ranging from conjunto- and cumbia-influenced Spanish-language numbers to one of the dullest blues tunes ever to grace a stadium stage. Standing centre stage with a silver Gretsch guitar, former drummer Louie Perez was a fidgety and distracting presence until he redeemed himself with a shockingly accomplished and jazzy solo late in the Los Angeles–bred band's set. Next time, could we hear more of that, please?
Singer-guitarists Cesar Rojas and David Hidalgo were more consistently enjoyable, with the latter getting solidly into the spirit of the evening via a "Dream in Blue" that showcased his love of Young's '60s contemporary Steve Winwood.
All that really matters, however, is that Young, now in his seventh decade of making music, is in strong and—according to his recently published autobiography, Waging Heavy Peace—sober form. If he keeps on with these sweaty two-hour sets, burnout might yet claim him, but for now fading away is most definitely not in the cards.
Varty is wrong about a few things here: The Sadies' set clocked in at exactly 28 minutes, not 20, and Los Lobos played material exclusively from a handful of early-to-mid 90s albums. If their set was "all over the map" then the same can be said for virtually every one of their albums which combine those traditional Hispanic song forms with blues and rock numbers.
And Varty is trying too hard not to gush here. Why parse, hedge, qualify or grumble about some song being "more lead than gold" or "occasional passages of tedium"? I know it's a hard trick to express unbridled joy in a concert review without appearing to lose your cool, "critical" cred, but sometimes a talented writer can pull it off (check out Usinger's Jack White piece for what I'm talking about).
Sure, it's clear that Varty thought it was a great show, and says so, but c'mon man, were you there? It was out of body stuff, and for this veteran concertgoer it ranks easily in the top one or two concerts of all time! What, you didn't cry?
Neil Young and Crazy Horse in 2012: this is what artistic relevance sounds like kids.
I'm a huge Neil Young fan, but that relentless and repetitious high end distortion on just about every song, almost all seeming to be long jams in the same key and going on and on for waaaaay too long torturing the songs into long drawn out painful deaths was too much for me.
I've seen a lot, and I mean a lot of shows in my time (I'm 58, my first show was Pink Floyd at the PNE Gardens in 69/70 for $2.50) and have seen just about everyone at least once, many multiple times as I love music and consider myself pretty open minded at shows realizing there is leeway for new material and improvisation - otherwise what's the point? I admire artists who shuffle things up and reach for something new, but what happened in this show went way beyond what I consider the cutting edge or pushing the envelope....or whatever you want to call it.
IMO a lot of people, myself included, didn't leave during the show out of respect for the man himself, and the hope that he would save it by putting together some great numbers.
And his short acoustic set, with an abbreviated "The Needle and the Damage done" felt to me like it was put in as an obligation.
Maybe 5 songs, including the aforementioned tune, were acceptable.
The difference between this and his last show was like night and day.
To each their own I suppose, but IMO, and my buddy - who is a musician in his own right and has been a fan since Neils' Buffalo Springfield days, this show was not Neil at his best...and maybe at his worst.
Like I said, I like cutting edge stuff but that was just noise for the most part last night.
I would hardly call this "artistic relevance". Neil has written and recorded some of the finest songs ever, and he can do a hell of a lot better then this.
Like I said, to each their own. I'm betting that while some may disagree with me, there are those who would agree...if they were honest with themselves.
BTW IMO The Sadies were quite good, but Los Lobos saved the show for me - they were tight and produced some good sound. Really enjoyable.
Anyone craving uncommon Neil Young vinyl might want to note that Life - his least popular studio album, and his last for Geffen - is at Red Cat in the used section for a mere $10. It's not a very good album, I admit, but it's worth that much for "Prisoners of Rock'n'Roll" alone (Neil's equivalent of the Clash's "Complete Control").
let me put it this way...if you own the album "arc" and have actually listened to it, you probably loved this show. i do, i have, and i did.
No points lost for not liking the show. No accounting for taste as they say. But when you describe "the cutting edge stuff" as "just noise" it suggests you might have a bit of a blind spot where Crazy Horse is concerned. I'd take a look back at the material Neil and the Horse have recorded - in studio and live - over the past twenty-five years. It isn't a whole lot of albums as they don't collaborate more than a few times a decade, but much of it is similarly noisy, avante-garde experimentalism. One of most fantastic things about NY is his eclecticism, and the 11/11/12 show was a demonstration that the guy who can strum an iconic original folk tune or pen a country classic in his sleep can also hold his own with the likes of Lamont Young, Glenn Branca, Lou Reed and other nasty-ass sonic experimenters who redefined music in the modern era.
Neil played some good tunes but the long drawn out heavy distortion jams and their endings was way too much...those songs all sounded the same and never seemed to end.
I love Neil Young and his music and have since his early days, for the most part, but even a die hard fan has to admit that a few lemons have fallen from the tree over the years. Even so this does not diminish what he has done in the past imo.
But wouldn't you think that by promoting "Americana" by giving away hard copies to fans who bought tickets to the show, that perhaps this was the direction he was taking on this tour? Very few could take a list like on that recording and pull it off like he did - that was a positive, different direction IMO. If I had known about the other new recording and this is what he would be focusing in on, I never would have gone. I traveled from out of town to see this show and had been looking forward to it.
I didn't expect a set list of his greatest "hits" or any such thing, but I certainly didn't expect this, nor did I enjoy it...and I don't think I'm alone here.
To add, he seemed to put the abbreviated acoustic set in as some sort of obligation.
How long did that "ending" to Walking like a giant last? That in itself put me off and I never recovered. That ending wasn't music but just loud distorted noise, over and over and over. A couple blasts to end that would have been fine, but...and that theme seemed to be for all the new songs.
Anyways, to each their own. If you enjoyed the show fine. I'm on record for not....and I love a lot of Neils' work through the years.
His last show here and this one was night and day...light years apart.
I'm not against Neil Young and Crazy Horse doing what they do and love exploration in reaching new sounds, and I can certainly appreciate his energy, but like I said, to each their own and I thought for the most part, the long jams and their endings for these songs were repetitive heavy distortion over and over again killed it for me. And I don't think I'm alone if reaction from the exiting crowd or on the transit home was any indication. There was no buzz in the air about the great show.
And as for some comments suggesting I don't know what Crazy Horse and Neil Young are about, I would suggest listening to "Everybody knows this is nowhere" probably one of the greatest albums ever put out by anybody, or the collaboration they did on "Americana".
And I question promoting "Americana" for the ticket sales and than not even going anywhere near there?
Also - to throw you a bone, I do kinda think the ending of "Walk Like a Giant" (also on Psychedelic Pill) is kind of a silly indulgence. It sounds like bad Sonic Youth, to me - it's not even good noise, just plodding, bludgeoning thumping, as they walk the giant all over the stage. Spending 183 minutes on it was excessive, as I think even Mr. Varty agrees... Thankfully, I had some drama to distract me, since people started to pass out down on the floor during that song - I've seen two and heard about one story of people dropping unconscious and having to be rushed out. Maybe it was the brown acid?
If you walk into the creative space of a true master, you take what they give you and have the humilty to just accept it and try your best to understand and appreciate it. Just take it for granted that sometimes us puny humans are a step or two behind. Given the right outlook though, it is possible to catch up.
This "auteur theory" only applies to true masters mind, and I think NY has earned that stature. It was formulated by the French new wave directors (Truffaut, Malle, Godard, et al) who began their careers in film as critics for the Cahiers du Cinema back in the fifties. They decided that if it was a Hitchcock, a Ford, a Hawks a Renoir, then it was automatically a great film. Even if it was flawed, it was still great because it was made by the hands of a master. It is the responsibility of the audience member to be open, to be ready to receive whatever comes from these rare creatures, and to simply TRY HARDER if you don't get it at first.
I know, it sounds pretty doctrinaire and vaguely Maoist, but history has given the auteur theory some credence. How many masterpieces have only been seen as such years, if not decades after they came out? Moby Dick, Citizen Kane, The Shining, Greendale...
Your last post is pretty interesting, as I myself and my buddy, were unawares of what album was going to be the inspiration for this show. I love Americana, but alas...
As for jams, I love jams when bands cut loose and improvise and to me going to live shows should be what that's about to some extent. But what i didn't like about these were IMO they basically all sounded the same in the same key with too much repetitive heavy distortion. Distortion is great but the overuse of it here was too much IMO.
I enjoyed some of his "readjustments" on some of the older stuff, but just felt overall that...well I've already gone over that, and felt somewhat deceived by what I was going to see and hear.
All that said, I have the great memory from his previous show here and this show certainly won't turn me off off Neil as I know he ventures down different roads, and all the more power to him...I just didn't enjoy this one. That's the way she goes.
On a side note, I've been picking up the bass the last year and some of my favourite bass lines are from the "Everybody knows this is nowhere" album especially "Cowgirl in the sand" which is especially hard to get that certain feel to it. And it was great hearing Billy Talbot play, but I thought the heavy guitar of Neil completely overpowered Sampedro on rhythm guitar for the most part. But this could have been where I was sitting, a section and a half back and 19 rows up, which were actually pretty good seats. I had GA tickets but sold them (for cost) because my body just can't take the standing any more....did it for the last show when I was up front and center on the rail, which was fantastic...but I`ve decided to leave that stuff for the younger folks now. LOL
Anyways, really interesting to hear how you got the heads up as to what to expect.
I enjoyed the Greendale show a few years back for its diversity but after watching this tour on Youtube I decided to take a pass.
I'm with Gerald on this one. And I am a Neil fan.
Expectations can be a killer and I gave up on them along time ago, and take shows as they come because I like the spontaneity of what a live show can bring. But saying that I did not expect anything like this, nor did I expect an all hits night, nor a strictly Americana experience, but I did not remotely expect what I got...as much as I believe in Neils`right to play what he wants. I just did not enjoy the experience except for some notable exceptions....and I have an open mind when it comes to shows.
Just my opinion....and some others I know of.
Yes I have heard of google, but I will say I hardly ever google or read reviews on upcoming shows I`m about to see. But I will say while googling Americana before receiving the album after buying my tickets, there were quite a few clips of Neil playing some of these songs with other performers, so perhaps it isn`t too far out of the equation, and considering the Americana album was promoted for the ticket sales to maybe expect that kind of show, or perhaps even part of it.
yes, the americana album was promoted with the ticket sales. that was 5 months ago....ancient history. neil is and always has been about the present, and right now he is having the time of his life jamming with his old friends crazy horse, on the road for the first time in over 8 years. i found the concert an absolute celebration. the crowd around me did too...but then again, we were up front. this reminds me of when i went to see greendale and there were people bitching in the beer line BEFORE the concert. one guy was saying he was going to sue neil if he played greendale because the local radio ads were promoting the show by playing "like a hurricane". i just rolled my eyes and laughed.

Is there a catch fence that can 100% guarantee stopping all parts of a car going 225? The crash Saturday was at an estimated 175. If cars go 225 and go airborne the fence won't do much.Get rid of restrictor plates so all the cars arent bunched up togetherfor the duration of every race and they would eliminate this absurd "bump drafting" BS. OK, so a car going 225 might do an air flip and put the driver at risk.
I don't see how letting the cars go 225 will stop them from being together on the track. The cars are virtually the same except for team setup ... All the Hendricks engine cars would be bunched up. All the Toyotas would be bunched up. All the Fords would be bunched up. Only the individual setups and driver fear level would lead to unbunching (the same as it is today).
It is ... and you can be sure that all manufacturers will do their best to be fastest and best. Unrestricted you would see cars of all manufactures pushing 225 - and still bunched up - then wadded up - and hopefully not through the fence.I thought racing was about who is the fastest and best, not who can knock the other cars into a wall at the end of the race.
At what time? There were four female NASCAR drivers in 1949. Janet Guthrie raced in 1976. Patty Moise became the first to lead a Busch series race in 1986. And with the Drive for Diversity program in 2004 it was obvious that NASCAR was pushing to add female drivers (and other unrepresented groups).Never said the rule was written to give women an advantage but rather the rule was written with men in mind. I doubt anyone at the time ever thought a woman would some day be behind the wheel.
NASCAR should have had the female driver in mind for a decade or more. For weight to become an issue NOW seems to be a Danica related issue.
I'm sorry if you took my counter argument personally. I intended to counter the view expressed ... whether it be yours or the view of the competing race teams. If the other race teams think it is unfair that Danica weighs so little perhaps they can give Mark Martin a full time ride ... and tell Ryan Newman to lose some weight ... he's hurting his team.You seem to misunderstand that I am not taking sides but rather pointing out something which has been brought up already by other race teams.
Perhaps they need to adjust the weight adjustment and go another 40 pounds in each direction ... let Ryan drive a lighter car since he weighs more. There are other drivers over 180 who would benefit from a lighter car.

2. What are some of the worst ideas ever brought before the Sharks?
One of the worst pitches was for socks. The package contained three identical socks in case you lost one. Ridiculous.
Then there was a pitch for a product designed to go over your dog's poop to catch flies that buzz around it. How about you just pick up the poop so you won't have flies?
Or another pitch where baked goods were shipped all over the country in dry ice through online orders. I can't believe anyone would pay over $50 to ship ice!
Yet another terrible pitch was for a lipstick that claimed to make you skinny, but they hadn't conducted any clinical studies and didn't have any FDA approvals. How can you come in the Tank and pitch something like that? It's pitches like that that make me grateful that something like Shark Tank exists.
