Dundee RV Business to Expand Across U.S. 27
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 6:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 6:32 a.m.
DUNDEE | A recreational vehicle business just got permission to expand.
So they've crossed the road.
Robert Petty, owner of Ridge Quality Motors, told the Dundee Town Commission that he wanted to park some of his motor homes and fifth-wheel trailers at 28310 U.S. 27, on the west side of the road directly across from his current business.
He needed and received unanimous approval for a special exception that would allow him to park the recreational vehicles on a piece of land that once was a motel, but is now just a concrete and grass lot.
Jessie Skubna, the owner of the empty lot, also was named in the special exception.
Marisa Barmby, senior planner with the Central Florida Regional Planning Council, presented the plans to the Town Commission on Dec. 11, as part of her agency's contract as planner for the town.
Barmby said the site has two paved driveways already, but with half of the site being hard-packed soil with grass, there is a concern about dust.
Under the terms of the special exception, Petty will need to make sure that any dust is kept controlled and that drip pans are placed under each vehicle to prevent leakage into the soil.
He also will need to provide shuttle service for customers who visit his business on the east side of the highway and want to look at a trailer or motor home on the west side, the permit states.
Commissioner Steven Glenn asked if this would be sales only — no repairs — and Petty said that would be it.
Petty said he wants to put 20 to 40 vehicles and trailers combined on the site.
He said he has been in business for 20 years, but his lease with Skubna is only for a year at a time.
If he can get a longer term, he may look at putting in high-quality driveway at the extra site.
Mayor Samuel Pennant asked if Petty would consider buying the property he's using to expand, but Petty said it's too expensive.
"At $1.2 million, I'll pass," he said.
Donna Ray Petty, wife of the owner, said after the meeting that their business has "pretty much outgrown" its current location.
The east side of the road — by the northbound lanes — will have cars, truck and motorcycle, with the trailers and recreational vehicles on the west side, by the southbound lanes.

They say Truckee is a "dog-friendly town" - but does it care about people anymore?
I have owned a home in Tahoe Donner for 24 years with no trouble with dogs harassing me. Yet in the last few days, two different dogs have either jumped on me or cornered me when I was taking a walk. Neither dog was leashed.
The dog who jumped on me bit my neck scarf and the owner did nothing, as she had another leashed dog. The barking dog ran at me and had no owner in sight. I cried out for help, and the owner finally appeared to say the dog was one year old. This owner also did not pick up his dog poop, saying he has no bag.
What is the reason for this irresponsible behavior? Considerate dog owners leash their dogs and clean up after them. I want to enjoy a walk without being terrorized or assaulted. It seems like these owners are tempting fate or litigation. The tail wags the owner. I think all dogs should be leashed so we can share the streets.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Google is introducing a new name for the software and services that it sells to businesses, as the well-known consumer Internet company makes its play for a bigger chunk of the lucrative commercial tech market.
"This is one of the big growth opportunities for Google," said Amit Singh, president of the company's newly renamed "Google for Work" division, which sells products ranging from online software and data-center capacity to Chrome-based laptop computers to businesses, schools and government agencies.
Google boasts that more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies now use some paid Google commercial services. But even though it has won both small-business and major corporate accounts, analysts say Google still faces a challenge in convincing some potential clients that it's not just a consumer technology company.
At a meeting with reporters Tuesday, Singh and some of his top lieutenants stressed that Google is committed to serving business customers by providing commercial-grade tech support and security for its products. Singh said Google has "thousands" of workers devoted to commercial services, although he declined to be more specific.
Google has sold products to businesses for nearly 10 years, starting with the release of a commercial version of its search tool for corporate computer systems and websites. But the company has beefed up what it has previously called its "enterprise" business in recent years. Singh was a longtime executive at Oracle, the business software giant, before he joined Google in 2010 to lead international sales for the enterprise division.
Today, that division competes with Microsoft and IBM by selling online "productivity" software, including email, word-processing and spread-sheet programs, to businesses and government agencies. It also competes with Amazon and other rivals by selling data-center capacity and software for companies that want to use Google's infrastructure to build and host their own websites or other applications, or to store and analyze data.
Google also offers online mapping, Web search and videoconferencing for business, and it sells lightweight Chromebook laptops to businesses and schools.
While the company doesn't break out sales figures for its commercial products, some analysts estimate that commercial sales may contribute $2 billion or more of Google's total annual sales of $60 billion. That's a small portion of the business market, but analysts say Google is likely to grow.
"We expect Google's cloud infrastructure revenues to grow quickly over the next couple of years to several billions of dollars a year," Bernstein Research analyst Carlos Kirjner said in a recent report.
Other tech companies that are known for consumer products are also seeing profit to be made in the business arena. Apple recently announced a partnership with IBM to develop work-related apps for smartphones and tablets.
Google has good reason for trying to diversify its business. "You can't be a one-trick pony," said Forrester Research analyst T.J. Keitt, who noted that Google still makes the bulk of its money by selling Internet search advertising.
Still, while Google says thousands of companies sign up for its cloud-based software every day, Keitt said most of those are small businesses. For some bigger corporations, he added, "the Google name still raises some eyebrows."
Singh, however, said that's changing. "In many ways, work itself has changed in the last five years," he said, citing the increased use of online services and mobile gadgets, along with a trend toward giving workers more flexibility to choose the tools they use.
"Mobility has come into play, and users are making choices. Google for work better reflects the new market environment we're all playing in," he added.

Dear Neil: I was wondering if you have a Wife 101 column to go with your Husband 101 column. What are the equivalent rules for women?
Committed Lady in Australia
Dear Australia: Here they are.
Many women adopt a passive attitude toward romance; they tend to think of courtship, romance and seduction as something a man does for them. It's a man's job to woo you and make you feel valued, cherished and beautiful. It's a man's job to bring you flowers, open doors for you, compliment you, wine and dine you and seduce you.
But in truth, romance works best when it is reciprocal. Reciprocal romance means that a woman also needs to woo her man, as well as court him, nurture him, support him and encourage him. She also needs to be a seductress, not just the seduced.
The following are a list of "rules" for women who are committed to being the best wife or girlfriend they can be. If you do your very best in your relationship day in and day out, you'll be a happier woman, you'll reduce the chance that he might cheat, you'll increase the probability of the two of you staying together, you'll be a great role model for your children and you will have achieved something that very few have accomplished. Here are some of the rules for women who are in a committed relationship:
• Make sure that you communicate positive, kind, supportive, friendly, empathetic and compassionate messages to your man far more than critical, negative, angry, judgmental and unfriendly messages.
• Give to your man more than you take. Form the habit of giving, serving, pleasing and nurturing. You cannot take more than you give or you risk drying up the reservoir of good will.
• Be more fun. Find one or two fun things to do every week that the two of you can do together. Kids can join in but not all the time. A couple needs some alone adult time to simply enjoy each other's company.
• Pick your battles. You're not going to win every argument, so choose your battles wisely and fight for those things that matter the most to you.
• During a disagreement, find some truth in what your man is saying - no matter how wrong or misguided you think he might otherwise be. Saying "You're right. I see where you felt hurt (discounted, railroaded, etc.)" will be far more effective than you arguing, defending, explaining or attacking him for how he feels.
• Be physically affectionate every day. Use touch, hugs, kisses, holding hands, caresses, cuddling and comforting. Physical contact will help him feel closer to you because he's male - and that's how men tend to feel close to a woman. Touch is no doubt how the two of you got close in the beginning of your relationship, and touch is what will keep your relationship close, connected and intimate today. Affectionate touch is the aphrodisiac that men crave.
• Express your love sexually. When women use the word "romance," they're usually referring to love. When men use the word "romance," they're often referring to sex. Sex is central to a man's sense of contentment and his image of his own masculinity. A man's self-confidence and feelings of well-being hinge on lovemaking more than you'd ever guess. Adopt the attitude: "With my body, I thee worship." If you can't, in good conscience, do that, figure out how to clear up what's in your way.
• Learn to be a "student wife." Most people behave in a marriage the way they think they should, so they quit listening to feedback, requests, lessons and pleas their partner inevitably offers. In truth, you must learn how to be a good wife, and men don't normally come with a training manual. A "student" wife is a lover in training. She is consistently willing to learn or to take feedback about how she could be better: a better friend, more responsive, more supportive, more romantic. You never "graduate" from this position, by the way, because then you will be more likely to quit trying to be the best wife you can be.
• Listen more, talk less.
• The heart of whether a man feels valued by you is whether you are responsive to what he says matters the most to him. Therefore, if he says something is important to him, make it important to you, also, if you possibly can.
• Let your man know what he does right. Most of us are superb at letting our partners know what they've done wrong.
• Ask your man: "Are you getting your needs met in this relationship? If not, what would you like to be different?"
• Tell him what you like and love about him. What character traits does he have that you respect or admire? Is he reliable? Trustworthy? A good father? Is he considerate? Affectionate? Is he fun? Romantic? Good looking? A great dresser? These are the reasons you chose him. Don't keep it a secret. Tell him, or write it in a love letter and give it to him.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Twitter reported the resignation of its chief operating officer Thursday, as the trendy social networking service continued to wrestle with slowing user growth.
Ali Rowghani's move comes amid a broader reorganization at the company, which has seen other top executives leave and its stock price plunge in recent months. Twitter has reported strong growth in advertising sales, but analysts say investors are worried because it's not adding new users as fast as Facebook and other popular social media.
Twitter "is just not for everyone," said Brian Wieser of Pivotal Research, adding that the company may have raised unrealistic expectations for its appeal across the broad spectrum of Internet users.
Rowghani's departure marks a stark contrast from a few months ago, when the 41-year-old was dubbed "Mr. Fix-It" in a glowing Wall Street Journal profile that described him as almost a "co-CEO" to Twitter Chief Executive Dick Costolo. Rowghani was chief financial officer at Pixar for nine years before joining Twitter in the same role four years ago, and he was credited with steering Twitter through a successful initial public stock offering last fall.
But as chief operating officer, Rowghani was also responsible for overseeing new products and confronting Twitter's slowing growth rate. The company had 200 million monthly active users at the end of 2012 and gained about 40 million more in 2013, despite Costolo's reported goal of hitting 400 million by the end of last year.
Twitter now has about 255 million monthly active users; Facebook has almost five times that many with 1.28 billion users around the world.
The company had little to say about Rowghani's departure Thursday, except for a terse regulatory filing that said he resigned as chief operating officer and would not be replaced. The filing said Rowghani will act as an adviser to Costolo, which the company has said about other departed executives. But in a post to his personal Twitter account, Rowghani indicated he is leaving.
"Goodbye Twitter. It's been an amazing ride, and I will cherish the memories," he wrote.
Costolo replied by tweeting: "Thank you for being an incredible executive & partner. Twitter could not have succeeded without you."
Despite the warm exchange, there were hints of discord before Thursday. After Twitter hired a veteran Google executive, Daniel Graf, as chief product officer in April, Costolo decided Graf should report directly to him. The previous product chief, Michael Sippey, had reported to Rowghani before he left the company in January. Christopher Fry, the company's longtime head of engineering, left in May.
Goodbye Twitter. It's been an amazing ride, and I will cherish the memories.— Ali Rowghani (@ROWGHANI) June 12, 2014
It's not uncommon for executives to leave after seeing a company through its IPO, said Scott Kessler, an analyst for S&P Capital IQ. He noted that Twitter has seen healthy increases in advertising, with overall revenue rising to $250 million in the most recent quarter, up 119 percent from a year earlier.
But Kessler said many investors have focused on sluggish user growth and related statistics that Twitter had previously touted as indicators of its strength as a company.
"Twitter has been punished for not delivering on metrics that they themselves highlighted as important," he said. Twitter is now emphasizing other measurements -- such as the number of times that users retweet or take other actions -- which can show advertisers that users are engaged and paying attention to what they're seeing, Kessler added.
After rising to nearly $75 last winter, Twitter's stock had fallen more than 44 percent this year, although it regained some ground in recent weeks. Shares rose more than 3.5 percent Thursday, closing at $36.79, after Rowghani's resignation was announced.
Concerns about Twitter's growth were highlighted last month by a report from research firm eMarketer, which projected Twitter would increase active users by 24 percent this year, down from 30 percent in 2013 and 50 percent in 2012. Much of its growth is expected in Asia and other countries, while Twitter relies on the United States for most of its ad revenue.
Costolo has acknowledged that new users can be discouraged by some Twitter features that may be confusing at first, such as hashtags and retweets. He vowed earlier this year to simplify the service and make new features easier to use.
By not replacing Rowghani, Costolo may be signaling he plans to be more active in overseeing new products and company operations. While not every company has a chief operating officer, the job usually involves overseeing day-to-day business so the CEO can focus on broader strategy.
Rowghani's departure may also be tied to other factors. The tech blog ReCode reported that others inside the company were annoyed by his favorable press coverage and that some questioned his decision to sell 300,000 shares of Twitter stock in May, when other executives pledged to hold their shares as a sign of faith in the company.
The sale netted Rowghani a profit of $9.9 million. He reportedly told an employee gathering that he wanted to help fund medical research targeting a disease that caused his father's death.

If an option is presented, it needs to be good enough to take.
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine the other day, and he said something to the effect of: "I think blasting spells should be less good than melee combat because that's not what wizards are supposed to be doing. Wizards should be mostly about utility spells."
And this annoyed me, and I realized that this was what I really hate about Paizo. (Don't worry, this will relate to 5e at some point.) The idea that game designers should write an option into the game and deliberately underpower it for whatever cruel reason is foolish and encourages system mastery. As an example of this, the Pathfinder take on the VOP monk trades all your magic items for a few extra ki points a day. According to Sean K. Reynolds, it's okay for this to exist because "poverty sucks."
Naturally, what happens with this is that new players select an underpowered option and whoops it sucks lol, which then frustrates and discourages them while simultaneously encouraging an elitist sytem of character optimization.
Thus, 5e needs to take this lesson to heart: no deliberately underpowered junk. Not everything needs to be perfectly balanced, but if the developers include an option available to players, it needs to be rougly equivalent in power to the other options.
As a side note, this generally punishes non-casters more than casters. Why? Because realism or whatever. (This thread was sparked by a debate about tripping monsters in Pathfinder. The option to trip is available to everyone, but in order to use it, you have to specialize greatly, and even then, you'll probably suck at it. And the response to this was, "Well, monsters are hard to trip, duh.")

There is a context in which "poor" choices are still OK. That is, if they extend a character's abilities to cover a weak area, or provide depth that otherwise the PC could not have. A simple example - a fire specialist mighty still choose a non-optimal cold spell, so that they have a valid option to fight creatures that are immune to fire. In 4E, melee characters often benefit from having an low-damage close burst or area attack as a fall back in case they end up fighting invisible creatures, or are blinded.
Otherwise, I agree. I don't want to be presented with a bunch of "realistic" or "logically should exist" choices for character building, that are covering up decent helpful choices.

Pathfinder was great in some ways, but terrible in others, and yes, I think it's mostly due to the unneccesary over-nerfage of options.
Definitely concur that all options should be viable.
In PF you needed high system mastery to even build a decent barbarian (since e.g. a fighter or an alchemist would kick your butt without even trying very hard).
I think not balancing the options is a result of not giving enough playtest time to iron out the bugs before printing, or just not opening up the online tools to the playerbase to fix broken kruft.
Have some faith in the players a bit. There is NO way any company can iron out in advance, all the bugs, but if errata are allowed, they need to be OPTIONAL and COMMUNITY-DRIVEN.
In the era of PDFs and online auto-errata, there is NO excuse for the mangled mess of krusty feats and useless magic items and terrible classes such as 4e had.
I'm not saying PF is necessarily better -- I've only played a dozen or so archetypes so far), but many more options are fun and viable to me, whereas in 4e I just could not get away from the system mastery aspect to have fun in it.
On the other hand, if I wanted to play, say, a 2WF in PF, I'd pick the archetype for the fighter and be done with it, but that doesn't mean it didn't suck, in practice it played boringly and very static and so on (a side effect of the full attack action / 5 ft sludge
Very good point to bring up, but the solution IMO is a framework where the community can vote on and propose fixes to items/feats/builds/whatever, and the errata can be applied optionally or in tandem, so that existing campaigns and characters are not broken 1/2 way through (this happened to us countless times...and derailed our campaign too often to continue. errata can be quite disruptive, especially when sometimes the fixes are worse than the problem).

Slightly tanget to what you rightfully identify as a problem is the problem of a false choice. Right now, in 5e, if you want to play a wizard, it is really hard not to choose the Magic User specialty. If you want to play a rogue, it is kind of mandatory to pick the Lurker specialty, or at least it seems that way to me.
And, straight to your point, I think Jack of all Trades as a specialty is a horrible choice. It really doesn't fit in the same league with the other specialties (especially Toughness - which is probably too good for fighters especially).
I'm hoping there will be many more backgrounds and specialties available so that it is possible to make a different kind of wizard or rogue or cleric or fighter rather than just matching the best option for the class.

There are a lot of games I've run where Vow of Poverty is just a freebie. In it's Pathfinder form, I'd just allow it because it won't throw things terribly out of whack. Who would begrudge the monk a couple ki points?
On the other hand, if they powered it up to be "worth it" to never use gear (such as the 3.5 version), you'd need to make sure it wasn't allowed if your campaign went a gear-light direction. Which means, you need to know if your game is going to end up gear-light during character creation.
Similarly, in a campaign with a lot of humanoid enemies, a powered-up trip could end up being really annoying. But the current version is probably pretty good.
What I'm trying to say is: I don't mind if an option is "bad" as long as it's a valid choice for somebody's game. What I don't want to do is go around outlawing options in the games they're good for.
So, I'd rather the Undead Killer specialization suck in 90% of games and shine a little in my zombie apocalypse than have it be "valid" in every game and say "Sorry, you can't play an Undead Killer. Too many zombies."

Agreed. If an option exists, it should be good enough to take.
And also the flip side: no option should be so good that taking it is a no-brainer (see 3e's Natural Spell feat for Druids).
Different classes have different skill-sets, and it's therefore not unreasonable for some of those options to be worse than others - after all, the Wizard has a whole bunch of other stuff he can do, whereas the Fighter has comparitively fewer options, so it's not unreasonable that the Fighter be better at those fewer options.
That said, that does open up the potential for a Warmage or similar class that trades that wider set of options for better blaster magic, either by getting access to the spells at lower levels, or getting more of them, or whatever.

I'd say this: every option should do what it says it will as effectively as possible.
The distinction is that some weird options should be available for those who want them (for RP or other reasons), even if they're not completely optimal from a min-maxing perspective.
For example, an archer cleric is probably not as effective overall as a priest cleric or an archer fighter. But if I'm making an elven cleric of Corellon, it might appeal to me anyway. Should WOTC disallow this combo (perhaps by heightening the prereqs for the archer specialty), or strengthen it to parity with more typical combos? I'd say no to both: the archer cleric should be possible but should not be encouraged explicitly.
As for the blaster mage: it's fine to design the wizard class so that it focuses more on utility and less on firepower (if that's what WOTC is going for). But the way to do this isn't to make evokers suck; it's to make it so that even an evoker has a decent amount of utility in their spells along with firepower. So maybe a warlock can hit for more damage, but the evoker can impart more status effects with his spells (or something). If you make an evoker like this and then refuse to do anything but nuke for max damage and not take advantage of your utility powers, you're in the same position as a fighter who only hits people with an oar: exactly as effective as you deserve to be.

I 100% agree with the OP. A wizard shouldn't have poor blasting skills because he does so much other cool stuff. Instead it should be made so that every option the CLASS has is equal, but any given CHARACTER can only use a few of them. This allows characters of the same class to be distinctly different, doesn't punish players with low levels of system mastery, and prevents any single class/character from monopilizing game play.

I am fine with the option of trading power for versatility. One of my favourite characters mechanically could take on multiple roles in an encounter: diplotmat, party-buff/heal, self-buff/dps or nuke. Except for the diplomat part, every other character in the party was better at each of those roles. The pure cleric was a better party-buff/healer, the fighter as better dps, the nuking was better done by both the other cleric and wizards.
... You might ask why I wanted to play such a character? Well, because it's fun playing a character that's always useful. Letting the Wizard primarily rely on utility spells, but giving them the secondary role as nuker sounds good to me. To me it looks like 5e will let you create more or less specialized characters, with the less specialized characters having better secondary roles.
Now I am all for not adding options that are terrible, like Toughness in 3e. 3hp for a feat? Maybe useful to begin with but lousy as the game goes on. And sooo boring.

But I think the OP makes an interesting point about those sorts of "trade-offs" turning into traps to ensnare the unwary. A high level of system mastery (relatively speaking) would be needed to avoid them, and lots of players don't yet or never will have that.
If a player looks at a wizard and sees fireballs and gouts of flame, he is going to be tempted. "Sweet," he thinks, "I'll be a total spell-flinging bad@$$ just like all those mages I know from fiction!" Then, come gameday, he sits there with a sad face because his fighter friend with a bow is doing essentially the same thing he is (damage at a distance), but much better.
If you are going to give the wizard the option to be a blaster, you need to balance it so that blasting is fun to do. Otherwise you might as well omit the option and save people the frustration of being naive enough to take it.

Microsoft plans to stop charging a fee for its Windows operating software for some smartphones and small tablets, in a recognition the company needs a new strategy for areas of the mobile market it has badly lagged.
Terry Myerson, the executive in charge of the Windows and Windows Phone smartphone software, made the pricing disclosure at an event Wednesday for software developers in San Francisco. Myerson said the "zero dollars" price will apply to phones, and tablets with screen sizes smaller than nine inches.
"It's all about getting your apps out there," Myerson said.
The pricing announcement came at the company's Build conference, where it also introduced a voice-activated smartphone personal assistant called Cortana and an update to Windows 8.1.
Offering its software for free in limited cases is unlikely to be have a significant financial impact, in part because Windows has a tiny market share in smartphones and small tablets. Still, Microsoft's move is a symbolically important shift for a company that historically has used per-device payments for Windows to help fuel its hugely profitable software empire.
The move is an acknowledgement Microsoft has to try to make money other ways, such as by seeding Windows widely on many devices that can be used as a launchpad to sell ads, promoting its other software such as Office or services such as Skype or other offerings for software developers.
It's not dissimilar from the strategy of arch-rival Google with the Android operating software, which has blossomed into the primary backbone for most smartphones and tablets sold worldwide. The search engine giant also has a big position in newer classes of Web-connected devices such as smartwatches and TV set-top boxes, such as Amazon's FireTV announced Wednesday. Google uses Android as a lever to sell ads or other services.
Microsoft previously has said about 65% of its revenue from Windows software comes from fees paid by hardware makers, such as Dell and Samsung, that make Windows run on their computers or tablets. The company doesn't disclose how much it charges the hardware makers for each time Windows is installed on a computer, tablet or phone.
For Windows Phone, the backbone of about 4% of smartphones worldwide, Microsoft already is effectively offering the software for free after accounting for rebates the company pays to handset makers.
Making the software free may be helpful for Windows-powered devices to make headway in emerging markets, the expected source of the majority of growth in smartphone and tablets.

Ian Seau is among 21 players who signed formal national letters of intent on Wednesday to play for the Wolf Pack.
The 6-2, 250-pound Seau started his career at Kansas State. Last year, he was a junior college All-American at Southern California's Grossmont College, where he had 74 tackles, 25.5 tackles for loss, 18 sacks and forced three fumbles in 10 games.
Nevada also landed Beau Hershberg, a 6-2, 230-pound linebacker from California's Granite Bay High. Scout.com listed him as one of the top 150 prospects on the West Coast. He told the Reno Gazette-Journal he chose Nevada over Navy and Air Force.
Polian was special teams coach at Texas A&M before he was hired last month after Chris Ault retired in December.
"Looking at this class overall, I'm really excited," Polian said Wednesday. "To think we could put this group together in less than a month is really exciting."
The class is heavy on linebackers and defensive backs because the Wolf Pack lose six of its seven starters at those positions.
The new cornerbacks include D'Andre Fuller, a highly recruited prospect from Arlington, Texas; Elija Mitchell, the reigning 200 meters champion in the state of California; and Tere' Calloway, a two-time state all-state selection from Seattle Prep High School who said he had offers from nearly two dozen schools.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pound Mitchell of Corona, Calif., runs 100 meters in 10.5 seconds and 200 meters in 21.1. He was recruited by Boise State, Colorado State and Army and had an offer to run track at Wisconsin.
Calloway's offers include Wisconsin, Texas Tech, Colorado and Purdue.

6 Hair and Makeup Statement Looks for 2013
A bold red lip and ombré hair color were huge last year. What's poised to become the hottest trend for 2013?
"Lavender in general, on eyes and lips, can be worn by anyone, even on women with skin tones who wouldn't normally use it," he says. "It's sort of one of those overlooked colors when it comes to neutrals."
If you have fairer skin, Del Castillo suggests starting with a neutral lipliner (close to your natural lip shade) and then layering a lavender lipstick on top, like MAC Viva Glam Nicki 2 Lipstick, $15. "It makes it look a littler cooler -- more plum-like and wearable," he says.
If you have a darker skin tone, start with a magenta or plum lipliner before applying lavender lipstick for a bolder look, Del Castillo says.

I want to see more of the lavender lips...and I am SO over the bangs fad. I think that if your name is not Zoey Deschanel, stay FAR away from straight cut bangs, because she is pretty much the only human being alive who can pull them off properly.

Not really interested in many of these styles. Though, I liked the red hair. And I wish I could get a more contoured look.
by Chica181 Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 08:31PM Report as inappropriate
Fun, fresh list! I already have red hair, but I have been dying to play with the color a little. Lighter shades don't work with my coloring, but I may try some highlights or go with a darker auburn shade (yes, for spring--who cares?).

Not so much on any of the looks described here, except flawless skin. Too bad there were no product suggestions.

I'm inspired to work on the flawless, contoured skin. And I'm tempted to try lavender lipstick...

I'm gonna try lavender lips!

The lavender lips is almost as bad as the orange ones. I am really into the bold eyeshadows and think contouring is a must, not really a trend.

Not fond of lavender lips but I love red hair. The flawless skin tips this year have helped in making me appear younger.

When fast action and excellent taste matter, it's hard to find a better fish than the walleye. Although Indiana isn't widely known for an abundance of walleye waters, the Hoosier state does offer some fabulous walleye fishing in a number of natural lakes, reservoirs and rivers.
Indiana Walleye Waters
Fisheries biologists have also developed quality walleye fishing in the tailwaters below dams at Monroe, Salamonie, Mississinewa, Cagle's Mill, and Freeman lakes.
Walleye Fishing Techniques
Anglers new to the walleye game, take heart: you can employ many of same techniques with which you are already familiar and need no special rig. Whether you are a boat or shore angler, you can catch walleye successfully. First, remember these fish-eating hunters prefer the deeper waters of lakes and large rivers but move to shallow flats to feed during darker hours.
Lake or Reservoir Fishing
Fisheries biologists recommend very simple, common fishing techniques for anglers who are just starting to pursue walleye. Dedicated walleye anglers use a variety of tackle, but these specialized rigs are not necessary when you're just starting out.
Fishing shad imitation or chartreuse colored crank baits along shore lines and points during low-light and dark hours, similar to bass fishing, can produce excellent walleye action. Get your lure down close to the bottom. You can get by with 6- to 8-lb test line, but many prefer to use 10- to 12-lb test line.
You can also use crank baits to troll. Trolling is one of the best ways to cover large areas of water in search of walleye. Since walleye school together, you can generally catch several fish in the same area once you locate a group. Use lead head jigs, fished with or without bait, to work potential areas thoroughly.
The large opaque eyes of a walleye are very efficient at gathering light. They tend to retreat to deep, dark water during the day and move into shallower areas (5-10 ft.) to feed at night. Walleye tend to prefer rock or gravel bottoms, drop off areas and points. Standing timber areas in reservoirs can be a good place to fish for walleye in midsummer.
River and Tailwater Fishing
Similar to lake walleye fishing, crank baits and jigs with twister tails can be successful walleye lures in rivers. Biologists also recommend using a spinner bait, or simply a hook with a night crawler or minnow suspended below a float and drifted in the current. Concentrate your efforts in slack water areas. Walleye will often feed right on the edge between slow water and swift current.
Walleye fishing in tailwaters depends greatly on the discharge from dams, but fishing can be excellent from March through May. When flows from the reservoirs are high, fish migrate upstream toward the dam. Some walleye are also flushed from the reservoir and hang below the dam. Reservoir tailwaters provide ample shore fishing areas.
Walleye Management
A member of the perch family, the walleye gets its distinctive name from its glassy or "walleyed" stare, which is caused by a reflective layer in the fish's retina. This feature helps the fish see and hunt well in low light. Of the dozen fish species that the DNR maintains through stocking, the walleye, according to surveys, is the most popular in terms of what anglers wish to see released in Indiana waters. Other game fish such as striped bass, channel catfish, rainbow trout, muskellunge, sauger, and trout and salmon species, while popular, are relegated to the challenger role.
Brown and green in color, the walleye commonly grows to 8 pounds and is prized for its delectable, white, flaky flesh that's a dinnertime hit whether fried, baked or grilled. And they grow big. Indiana has two state-record walleyes. Each weighed 14 pounds, 4 ounces. The most recent was caught from the Tippecanoe River in Pulaski County in 1977. The original was pulled from the Kankakee River in 1974.
Since walleye natural reproduction is limited in Indiana, to answer the public's wishes, the DNR stocks walleye or hybrid walleye fry and fingerlings in several lakes and one river. The hybrid walleye is a cross between a female walleye and a male sauger, commonly called a saugeye. The hybrids are stocked in two warmer reservoirs, where they survive and grow better than the walleye, which prefers clean and cooler waters. To allow this process to happen, each spring, Indiana fisheries biologists collect about 30 million walleye eggs from Brookville Lake. After the DNR fish hatcheries work their science, these eggs result in about 17 million walleye fry; 1 million fingerlings, 1-2 inches in size; and 60,000 hybrid walleye fingerlings for stocking.
Walleye Research
The Indiana DNR studied the movements of walleye at Monroe Lake using radio telemetry. A radio tag was surgically implanted in walleye. The IDNR tracked the tagged fish throughout the entire lake. Find out more information about the tracking project at:

Genomic and EST sequencing projects are providing a sequence infrastructure that is changing how protein biochemistry is practiced. These data along with mass spectrometry provide the cornerstone technologies fueling the proteomics revolution. Our group is focused on developing tools and strategies in proteomics to answer basic biological questions. By coupling the additional amino acid sequence information that can be obtained using peptide tandem mass spectrometry to "back-end" database searching and "front-end" separative techniques, we are able to directly analyze extremely complex protein mixtures. The applications for these technologies vary from analyzing purified protein complexes to studying host-pathogen interactions in diseases such as malaria or anthrax. We are further extending these applications to find post-translational modifications to the proteins within these same complex mixtures.

SAN JOSE -- A 6-6 record and being left out of a bowl game apparently wasn't enough to keep San Jose State from thriving during the recruiting season.
Coach Ron Caragher's first full recruiting class stands to be one of the best in school history.
SJSU enters national signing day on Wednesday with the Mountain West Conference's third-highest rated class and second-highest average star rating by Scout.com, which ranks the class No. 74 nationally. That would be an all-time high for the Spartans since Scout began extensively ranking recruiting classes in 2003.
Rivals.com sees things a little different and places the Spartans' class eighth overall in the conference, but does credit SJSU with the fourth-highest average star rating. Both recruiting services have San Diego State and Boise State pulling in the top two classes.
Brandon Huffman, the national recruiting analyst for Scout.com, praised SJSU's class while also noting it had potential to be even better. The Spartans lost one-time commits Aisea Tongilava to Cal, Darren Gardenhire and Sidney Jones to Washington and Charles Wright to Vanderbilt.
"This class had a chance to be really, really good and, not unexpectedly, they lost a lot of guys to Pac-12 schools," Huffman said. "I think that kind of shows the ability of this staff to recruit and identify that talent early on. They did lose some key guys, but at the same time, they've held on to a lot of key guys. That's probably the most encouraging aspect of it."
The Spartans took an aggressive approach to the recruiting cycle, throwing out lots of offers and securing plenty of commitments early. That can naturally lead to recruits changing their mind because, as Huffman said. "a lot of BCS coaches aren't doing their homework and will say 'OK, this guy has an offer from a San Jose State or a Boise State, now let's go look at them.' "
But even losing players to bigger schools isn't all bad.
"I think because they were offering so many guys and did get guys to commit, San Jose State is now being talked about and being mentioned by a lot of big-time recruits," Huffman said.
The class is big on defensive backs, which is no surprise with defensive back coach Donté Williams doing much of the heavy lifting on the recruiting trail. Huffman called the Spartans' second-year assistant "one of the top two or three recruiters" in the Mountain West.
The biggest jewel of the class figures to be Maurice McKnight, a 6-foot, 170-pound defensive back from San Bernardino ranked as a top-50 cornerback nationally. Safety David Williams, a 6-1, 180-pound safety from Los Angeles, and Andre Chachere, a 6-0, 170-pound cornerback from Fresno, are fellow three-star recruits.
In all, Scout.com credits SJSU with eight three-star pickups, just one more than the Spartans signed the past four years combined. Wide receiver Tyler Winston, the Mountain West Freshman of the Year, was the lone three-star last year.
The biggest offensive pickup may be Roseville wide receiver Justin Holmes, a player who fits the Winston mold and could team up with him to give SJSU a standout receiving duo. The 6-2, 185-pounder won MVP honors last spring among a talented crop at the Oakland Nike Camp and Huffman raved about him.
"He's a big-bodied kid," Huffman said. "He's not ridiculously fast, but he's a long-strider, he gets the separation, has some of the softest hands of any receiver I've seen in this class."
Two quarterbacks will join the competition to replace record-setter David Fales, who is now preparing for the NFL Draft. Junior college transfer Malik Watson is already enrolled at SJSU and will participate in spring practice and the Spartans expect to add Mission Viejo High's Ian Fieber.
Fieber, who is 6-1 and 180 pounds, spent the past three years being coached by former NFL quarterback Rob Johnson and his father Bob Johnson, the longtime Mission Viejo coach.
"You're taking a kid that's coming from essentially a college program at Mission Viejo," Huffman said. "He's been getting great hands-on quarterback training for the last three years."
Huffman thinks Fieber likely needs a redshirt year, meaning Watson will be the player to provide immediate depth at the quarterback position as the Spartans look to identify a new starter. Senior Blake Jurich and junior Joe Gray are the top two returning quarterbacks.
The Spartans also remain in the mix for Deer Valley-Antioch's Nsimba Webster, the Bay Area News Group's East Bay Offensive Player of the Year. He'll announce his decision Wednesday afternoon. SJSU is his only Football Bowl Subdivision offer and he'll choose between the Spartans, Eastern Washington and Sacramento State.

10 Tips to Make 2012 Her Best Season Yet
It's January 2...the start of a new year when all things seems possible. Whether you are basking in 75 degree California weather or the wintery 20's in Detroit the 2012 softball season will be here before you know it (my first practice of 2012 is in two days).
As a coach the beginning of a new season is always exciting because every team and every player starts off with a clean slate, with thoughts of championships and .500 batting averages dancing through our heads. And the truth is that phenomenal success for your team or athlete is entirely possible...it really is.
It all gets down to what level of effort, dedication and attitude she brings to her game. After coaching for over a decade and having played ball through college I know that any player can expect to get out of the game exactly what she puts into it. You see the harsh truth is that "the game" doesn't care who wins. The game doesn't care who gets a hit and who makes an error. The game will giveth and taketh away without regard for who the players or teams are. The definable variable for success in a difficult game is personal choice.
Here are 10 surefire ways to turn the new season into a memorable one for your athlete:
1. Inspire yourself and others with your effort. Bring 110% effort each time you step on the field and stand out from the crowd.
2. Work harder than everyone else. Put in the time for more grounders, more swings, more pitches. To be great you have to be willing to want it more.
3. Work equally as hard in your mental skills training. Question your assumptions and beliefs about yourself that may be limiting your performance.
4. Trust yourself more. If you are trying a new position, new hitting or pitching mechanics, or advancing to the next age level be willing to step outside of old comfort zones and embrace the opportunity in front of you with a "can do" attitude.

Thanks for reading! --John Kelly

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball will face its first road test of the year this Friday when it starts a three-game series against Houston at Cougar Stadium on the UH campus. It will be the first time the team hits the road after playing the first 13 games of the year in Corpus Christi, and will be just the second time the teams have ever played.
The Islanders (8-5) have gone on a five-game win streak following the Kleberg Bank College Classic, picking up midweek wins over Texas State and Incarnate Word, while sweeping a three-game weekend series against Dallas Baptist at Chapman Field.
The Cougars (10-3) have won just two straight, with wins over Penn State in a midweek series, but have taken seven of the last eight games they have played, including wins over No. 30 Texas A&M and Baylor last weekend at The Astros Foundation College Classic.
Although separated by just 217 miles of road, the teams have met for just a single game in program history. The contest came last season in a midweek affair, with former Islanders great Daniel Minor bursting onto the scene with a big win over the Cougars.
UH will be looking to repay the favor as they host the team for the three-game set. First pitch on Friday will be at 6:30 p.m. as Trevor Foss (2-1, 0.78 ERA) gets the starting nod on the mound. It is the same time schedule for the Saturday night contest with Trevor Belicek (1-0, 4.76 ERA) making the first weekend start of his collegiate career. The Sunday finale will start at 2 p.m. with Adam Hoelscher (1-0, 4.91 ERA) taking the ball on getaway day.
Offensively, the Islanders are hitting .280 as a team after picking up 11 hits on Wednesday night against Incarnate Word, and have scored 67 runs this year. Leading the way is Kyle Danford, with the sophomore coming on strong as of late to earn a .423 batting average. Shortstop Zach Taylor comes in second at .343, while Jordan Lee is hitting at a .340 clip in 2013. Brad Porras holds a .333 average and Eric Weiss rounds out Islanders hitting above .300 with a .313 mark and a team-high nine RBI on the season. Porras has driven in seven runs this year, while Danford, Lee, Jonathan Gonzales and Brad Lamberti are all tied for third with six RBI apiece.
The Cougars are hitting .276 as a team, but have scored 91 runs on the year, good enough to lead Conference USA in the category. Justin Montemayor leads the team with a .333 batting average, while Kyle Kirk comes in second at .326 and Caleb Barker rounds out the top of the stat column with a .314 average this year, but has had a team-high 13 RBI during the campaign. Kirk and Frankie Radcliff are tied for second with 11 RBI this season.
The Cougars have not announced their starting rotation for the weekend, but Austin Pruitt (3-0, 1.71 ERA), Aaron Garza (1-0, 3.52 ERA) and Daniel Poncedeleon (0-2, 4.91 ERA) have each made three starts for UH. Jake Lemoine (3-0, 0.00 ERA) has been the beneficiary of some comebacks by the Cougars, getting three wins without making a start in his five appearances.

WALNUT CREEK -- In one of a handful of public events aimed at commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War -- with a salute to the national traveling exhibit on display at the Walnut Creek Library through Feb. 8 -- historian Kevin Starr began his Jan. 7 library presentation by drawing a direct line between great libraries and supportive elected officials who value them.
"I'm honored the mayor is here tonight," Starr told his audience. "(As a writer) you sit at your desk scribbling away, saying, 'I wonder if anyone cares about this?' It's wonderful to hear from readers tonight."
Launching into a fast-paced tour like the tank platoon leader he once was, Starr -- now California State Librarian Emeritus -- suggested physical signs of the Civil War's effect on California were limited due to its distance from the conflict and few California-born soldiers and heroes.
"But the admission of California into the union in September 1850 set in force the dynamics that led up to the conflict," he said. "The slave states were desperate to reach the Pacific and to extend the system of slavery. With Texas included as a slave state, Southern California stood in the way of their goal to reach the Pacific."
Referencing the recent near-plunge off the fiscal cliff in Washington D.C., Starr joked that Congress in 1848 behaved similarly; failing to grant territorial status authorizing slavery and instead, "they walked away from the issue and did nothing."
Until 1850, the commander of the army was the state's civil governor, he explained. Without the gold rush, California's trajectory would have been different, but even with the "remarkable individuals" gold attracted to the area, Starr said people began to resist the "hobbled-together figure of law."
Provincial Gov. Bennet Riley didn't like the situation and issued a proclamation discussing the state's legal impasse caused by the military governing its citizens.
"He advised (the people) to organize themselves, even though he had no authority to do such a thing," Starr said. "It was a breathtaking proclamation, in my opinion."
California declared itself a free state and -- after nine months of acrimonious debate -- became the country's 31st state on Sept. 9, 1850.
The state's subsequent cases of "legal trumping" over slavery may not have spurred violence, Starr suggested, but they underscore the larger history of California and the nation as it began to tear itself apart over the issue.
"As the Civil War approached, the Hispanic support was decidedly Union," he said. "When war broke out, two Hispanic regiments joined 500 other young men and mustered in as the second battalion to fight in Massachusetts."
California philosopher Josiah Royce suggested the state's history was shaped by three phases -- frontier, province and "a condition of higher provincialism."
Starr said this meant a headstrong, self-seeking frontier society grew to become conscious of themselves as a regional force, with a definitive culture. Institutions of learning were established and landscape artists found favorite subjects in Mount Shasta and other iconic images.
The construction of the transcontinental railroad solidified a vital East-West connection, eliminating thoughts of secession or the prospect of California being taken over by the English.
"California became less remote," he said.
Asked about the importance of the state's gold and about mercury from the Alamedan Mines, he said neither item stayed in California for long and were used to fill the country's reserves.

FFmpeg: Update Installing on Ubuntu Hardy
Having recently installed Xubuntu Hardy Heron on a laptop, I also
needed to install FFmpeg. This post is really just a couple of notes
for myself, updating my earlier How-To post regarding installation of
FFmpeg on Ubuntu Gutsy.
New apt-get install line:
sudo apt-get install liblame-dev libfaad2-dev libfaac-dev
libxvidcore4-dev liba52-0.7.4 liba52-0.7.4-dev libx264-dev libdts-dev
libswscale-dev checkinstall build-essential subversion
Here I've added the swscale development libraries. Swscale is used for scaling videos.
you are ever stuck behind a firewall or proxy, especially one that you
have no control over and which does not understand certain SVN
commands, there is a nightly Subversion snapshot available for download
from the FFmpeg website. This alleviates the need to checkout the
source with SVN.
New configure line:
–enable-gpl –enable-libvorbis –enable-libtheora –enable-liba52
–enable-libdc1394 –enable-libgsm –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libfaad
–enable-libfaac –enable-libxvid –enable-pthreads –enable-libx264
–enable-shared –enable-swscale –enable-avfilter –enable-postproc
Here I've removed –enable-pp as it is no longer recognised. And I've
added –enable-swscale, –enable-avfilter, –enable-avfilter-lavf and
Avfilter is the new FFmpeg library that replaces the deprecated vhook functionality.
One last note to self is to investigate the possibilities of AVIsynth scripting and FFmpeg.
May 9, 2008 at 17:27
You may be interested in my tutorial I recently wrote on compiling ffmpeg and x264 from source on Ubuntu Hardy Heron:
HOWTO: Compile the latest ffmpeg and x264 from source
I'd appreciate any suggestions, comments, or questions.

Weekdays on NICK
Trim the marshmallows into round shapes. Place the corn syrup and coconut in separate small bowls. Lightly coat the trimmed marshmallows in the corn syrup to make sticky. Immediately toss the marshmallows in the coconut to coat. Transfer the coated marshmallows to a plate until ready to decorate.
Tint the vanilla frosting a pale beige by combining the cocoa powder and yellow food coloring. Spoon the frosting into a plastic resealable bag. Snip a small 1/8 inch corner from the bag. Pipe "spaghetti" strands of frosting all over the tops of the cupcakes, allowing some of the frosting to hang over the edge of the cupcakes.
When ready to serve, spoon some of the preserves on top of the frosted cupcakes to look like tomato sauce and add 2-3 marshmallow "snowballs" on top.

Alcohol related traffic deaths increased in 19 states over the last five years, and the Peach State wasn't one of them. Now, Georgia is being recognized for its continued efforts to curb drunken driving.
As an owner of a local clothing store, Charlotte Hungate comes in contact with a lot of people, but a few who'll never stop by again. She knew some folks who fell victim to an alcohol related traffic crash.
"This couple had a very bad accident on the highway hit a tree they, they had done a lot of partying. It's very tragic because we never saw them again," said Charlotte Hungate.
State officials are working to help keep this from happening. A national report shows alcohol related traffic deaths decreased by more than nine percent in between 1998 and 2002.
"The DUI enforcement program is something we do everyday, day in and day out. We look for the impaired driver the wreckless driver, the speeding driver, anything to make the highways safer," said Jaime Sullivan.
"Concentrated patrols" is what law enforcement officers call their year round effort, which accounts for the 68 percent decrease in traffic fatalities over the past 20 years statewide.
"I think most people are very aware of what the state of Georgia can and will do for you. I'm delighted that all this progress is being made," said Hungate.
Hungate says she thinks people are realizing the consequences of drunk driving and the possibility of taking the life of someone else. This is National Holiday Lifesaver Weekend. Georgia troopers say they will be in full strength looking for impaired drivers.

Songs by Debut Year:
Trey was energetic and full of life tonight, but Mike Gordon drove the bus and elevated the performance. Sally>Sparks was a real musical treat, but Stealing Time and even Susskind Hotel were notable for their enthusiastic deliveries.
The segue of the night is the Simple>Steam, but the entire second set smoothly fit together and never felt forced, with the exception of a slightly out-of-place Silent in the Morning. At one point (I believe during the end of Seven Below) Fishman was so lost in a jam that when Mike walked over to tell him what they planned to do, Fish never even noticed him. Eventually rest of the band were all staring at Fish grinning, looking at their drummer whose eyes were closed while he was lost in the moment.
A Soul Shakedown Party indeed.
P.S. I'll probably get a -1 for this..since some fool did it to all the other reviews for this show..
To put the Friday show into perspective think about this: Two Rolling Stones songs (Sweet Virginia, and Shine a Light) were played in the same set, The Whos Sparks was played for the first time since 11/29/96, the Beastie Boys Sabotage was played for the fourth time-ever, the first time since 11/21/98, Sweet Adeline was played for first time since 08/01/99, Silent in the Morning was played for the fourth time-ever without its typical intro The Horse, Soul Shakedown Party was played for the third time since 2004 and Suskind Hotel was played for the second time-ever. On paper this show would make most Phish junkies drool. It is easily the biggest stat-building show of the summer. However, as crazy as the show concept was and as sporadic as the song selection might have seemed, or felt, there were definite highlights. The Mike Gordon-penned song Suskind Hotel was a pleasant first set surprise, providing the first inspired weekend solo from guitarist Trey Anastasio. The crowd energy in the first set seemed to really take off during the Sneaking Sally through the Alley > Sparks > Scent of a Mule, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan run, the later featured some smoking guitar work from Anastasio as well. By set break everyone at the show was buzzing with S excitementwould the S theme continue in the second set? If so, what songs would they play? Truth is, at that point it didnt matter if the first set lacked flow, the S buzz had taken over and that carried into the nights second set.
Perhaps by sheer luck, Fridays second set flowed better than the first and the opener Sand only fueled the crowd energy. A few of my personal second set highlights include a very beautiful and often underrated Scents and Subtle Sounds that gradually slid into a pretty divine Slave to the Traffic Light, which could have easily ended the set and left the crowd roaring for an encore. The Sanity and Sweet Adeline that followed and the Sabotage encore continued the S madness and were all fun, at times hysterically funny, and totally unexpected. Was Friday night a mind-blowing show? No, it really wasnt. But it sure was fun as hell and was absolutely entertaining to be there.
I experienced a lot more of the pre-show butterflies than normal. For some unexplained reason, I was much more pumped for this show than usual. The Sloth only fueled my fire.
Our area of page side started chattering after the start of Suskind. Something was definitely up. Songs were especially spicy, and we all made calls for the rest of the set list. Throughout the night, one by one, all of us seemed to get a few right. Scent of a Mule got a huge response from our side of the crowd, but I was most excited about my first Sparks and great jams out of Sally and Melt.
Sand can do no wrong right now. This version will stand the test of time for me because it was so patient. Trey doesn't go for the jugular until the very end, allowing Page and Mike to play a bigger role. The peak was still HUGE, don't get me wrong. Simple brought its usual sweetness and Steam finally payed me a visit. Seven Below was my favorite jam of the night, mostly for the last few minutes. Suzy slammed into Scents and Subtle Sounds telling us there wasn't going to be a break. Keep moving people. Trey's endless sustain in Slave helped set up the final emotional moment of the show. This version reminded me that this song will never be ordinary again.
The most impressive thing about Friday night was how engaging it was from start to finish. No filler whatsoever. Even ballads seemed to have more luster. Jamming was sprinkled throughout the entire show and the set list had to be creative to work. We'd get big jams the next two nights, but I left feeling like I didn't need anything at all.
I wanted to comment on an earlier review stating that the only exploratory jamming in this show occurred during SOAM and Seven Below. Although I agree that those jams are great and some of the best of the night, the jam from Simple into Steam is both exploratory and pretty darn good as well. It's not very long but I would definitely recommend giving it a spin.
In the campground after this show, I think one of the common themes was "Phish is REALLY back." That sums up pretty well my entirely satisfied state of mind at the end of this show ...
Set 1: Trench Town Rock, Take the A Train, Tela, Time Loves a Hero, Taste, Talk, Torn and Frayed, Timber (Jerry) -> Tennessee Waltz -> Timber (Jerry), Take Me to the River
Set 2: Tube > Theme From the Bottom > Tweezer -> Twist > Twenty Years Later > Theme From the Bottom
E: Tush > Tweezer Reprise
My highlights of the show was
Stash and Slit Open and Melt from set 1.
Sand>Simple, Seven below, Scents & Subtle Sounds>Slave
I was not a big fan of the Sabatoge encore. didin't really care for it in 98 and I don't much care for it now other than it was fun. But I do feel that it probably was one of those "lets play this song I know we haven't practiced it since 11/21/98, but what the hell we sabatoged these people tonight."
As for the crap above that are not reviews, I really hope they do something here on this site to be able to fix this non review of reviews.
