This show was part of the "2012-13 NYE."
Hyperbole be damned - 12/30's a sacred date in Phish's canon, and you can put this bad boy right up there with the rest of 'em. The run's already been made with this show; NYE's got its work cut out. Bring it on!
Second set. Holy shit. What else can I say? Kind of surprised me with Disease, and I had pretty much pegged this one for the post-Auld Lang Syne spot on NYE. But I'm glad they didn't hold on to it. One of the best versions I've ever heard. In my opinion, it belongs right up there with the best of them. Twenty Years Later has always been a song I liked, just not live. This one, however, was great. And then, Carini. Thank god I wasn't there with a head full of drugs for this one. It got creepy, and nasty, and fucking great. Go listen to this right now if you haven't by now. Number Line was super out of place, but again, played very well. Julius is a killer tune just about everytime it appears, and a great, great Slave to end it.
When they dropped into Hood for the encore, I told my roommate that it could prolly get pretty interesting, and it did. Pretty much right away, too. Show of Life is not one of my favorite songs, but I know alot of people love it, so I'm not even going to comment on it.
One last thought. Some of y'all can't be pleased. Ever. You always want to compare what Phish is doing in 2012 to what they did in 1997, or 94, or whatever. Stop. Appreciate what they're making in the now. What they are creating now is amazing. They're the best live band in the world, and some of you should open your minds and listen to what they're doing on this run. I believe you're seeing the birth of a new Phish. Possibly the birth of the best Phish we've heard yet. That's just my opinion.
Happy New Year's everybody. Stay safe. One love.
Having gone on the 28th, and not been able to get tickets on the 29th, it was good to be back to the Garden on the 30th. Up in the 200s again, this time under the Rangers 1941-42 championship banner, so tonight I got the lights I didnt have on the 28th. And those lights are worth mentioning.
In fact, all of Set 1 is worth mentioning. Phish came out with a confidently relaxed pace and attitude, and Kurodas lighting added (to me) an unexpected layer of chill. Lots of cool blue, green and white tones. Even when he went to red, it was tempered with purples and yellows. The lights moved slow, searching and elegantly. At points he lit up the crowd behind the band with patterns of white and purple, and the Garden responded. What other band has ever earned cheers for their lighting tech when he does something that augments the music? Even Antelope, slow searching lights in the beginning, then frenetic punctuation as the guys revved the shit out of it.
Anyway, short of Dicks 1, I cant think of too many first sets that are as worth a listen as this one. I wouldnt swap out a single tune, and they were all performed with chill Sunday attitude all over them. The crowd was also completely on board. Where I was, there was a minimal of chatter, just lots of blissed faces. During divided sky, the level of volume during Treys pause was the loudest thing all night, followed by almost silence when they went back into the song for a quiet build.
The music was entering uncharted territory, even by Phish standards, for the first almost 40 minutes of the second set. CK5 and the band synced up just the same. Disease starts to get weird and contemplative, followed by 20 Years which is just as thinky, and a scary Carini were almost perfectly amped up and mirrored by the lights. As odd as it was to go into Number Line, I think most people needed it. There was an audible exhale, like it was the first time we were all able to take a breath. But then Julius hits and it felt like a crazy encore before the encore. The Slave that followed was also just crazy good. If they had played that Slave after Carini, I dunno. We mightve been scraping blown heads off the roof of the Garden.
What a show. I think the only word needed to sum up the mood, the crowd, the band and the show is dynamics. But if youd like a better review of the music, or perhaps just to see how Sith can be used as a Noun-Jective, hop over to Miners review. You could also just listen to this beast of a show. Hopefully this review gave you a bit of flavor for what it was like to be in the building. Last night, it was truly the only place I wanted to be.
Here's the breakdown:
Runaway Jim was short & sweet. A nice way to start right out of the gate and set the tone for a first set front-loaded with tons of pep. They quickly went into Cities, which was well played despite Treys voice cracking on some of the high notes early on. Treys guitar solo started with some of the plinko feel which was great, and I found myself disappointed when they ended the song rather than going into a jam, which is what it felt like they were about to do. Still, well played and solid.
Divided Sky as the 3rd song of the night! That was a surprise. This was a well-executed version, albeit only after a slight rough patch near the beginning where it seemed like the guys were out of sync. I loved the section where Trey & Mike began bouncing in unison.
From there they launched into one of the finest versions of Back on the Train theyve pulled off all year, and although the jam didnt break outside the box, it was the first extended jam of the night and was full of energy. I watched this show via webcast and I was out of my seat dancing to this one! The highlight of the 1st set for me.
Then from that into a great version of Ride Captain Ride, which has pleasantly become part of their regular rotation. I hope this song sticks around, because its always performed well and acts as a great bridge between any number of songs.
Up next, Ocelot, with Treys voice finally sounding smooth and warmed up. No trouble with any high notes here. The jam was nice on this one too, again nothing outside the box yet but a very satisfying jam nonetheless.
This is where things took a pleasingly unexpected turn toward the obscure, with a trio of Ya Mar, Horn, and My Friend, My Friend. The pace of the set slowed down considerably, but for any aficionado these three are probably going to be the highlight of the 1st set. No jams on any of these, just straight-up versions of the songs, but damn! That was fun.
A set-closing Run Like an Antelope was a perfect way to round out this unique 1st set, which brought back the high energy from the early part of the set. I distinctly heard Trey play a segment of the Deads Shakedown Street during the jam, and I was hoping they would tease in more of it but that didnt happen.
2nd set opener: Down with Disease yes! Theyve been nailing this song all year and this version held up to that standard and then some. The jam went into some interesting territory, getting into a kind of space-jam territory morphing into pure beauty. Page moved to his piano and took over for a bit until Trey started making his guitar sing a hauntingly beautiful sound, like the call of a whale in the deep ocean. I loved this part. They got more psychedelic and then started into a sweet rock groove.
Twenty Years later was a nice follow-up to the jam solidly played.
Carini! Always a favorite, and holy smokes did this one deliver. This was one for all-time, folks. The jam went into utterly satanic territory (in the best of ways), getting more and more psychedelic and evil territory by the minute. Fish was busting out tribal beats on the skins Mike was using his pedals to great effect Page summoned demonic sounds on keys and suddenly Trey was making his guitar wail. It was insane and I loved it. And then a segue into the next song what could it be?
Backwards Down the Number Line? Really? Yep! And wow, it worked. It was like catharsis to the evil that had just been laid down. An unexpected turn of events to say the least I dont think there was a single person listening who could have predicted that as a follow up. But it was well played and returned back to the theme of reflecting on the past that started with Twenty Years Later.
Then it was into a knee-slapping version of Julius, complete with some insane shredding by Trey at the end of the jam before turning back into the final chorus. Trey was smiling from ear to ear during this song and was clearly pleased with what was transpiring on stage and was happy about it.
A set-closing Slave to the Traffic light was beautifully played and more catharsis after such a scorching version of Carini earlier in the set.
For the encore, Harry Hood! Unreal. A song that represents Phish in a single song to cap off a night
The show finished off with a version of Show of Life, as ever an anticlimactic finish as there could have been afer such a perfect Hood, which probably should have been the one and only encore song given its length and how well it was played. But I can forgive this one and only oversight of the show.
Overall, this evening represents what makes a Phish show so great - the unpredictable nature of it all, where you can feel like you're in the deepest depths of purgatory (in Carini), then they pull you out and land you in the midst of bliss and happiness (in pretty much everything played after that.) Im smiling from ear to ear.
Down with Disease through Carini is extremely dark Phish. This segment is Must. Hear.
#Line is somewhat out of place, and it certainly jolts you out of the hellish depths of the Carini jam, but it's played well and works in the long run. A raging Julius first appears to be the closer, but is followed by a *good* Slave To The Traffic Light. One of the better versions of 3.0.
A very pretty, patient Hood comes up in the encore slot, followed by a well earned SOL.
Overall, a very solid show, and although no huge Setlist risks were taken, massive risks were taken with the DWD and Carini, and it pays off.
2. That said, if you're coming in to every Phish show with the bar immediately fixed at "substandard show from 1994", you're already handicapping your experience of your own volition and might as well just go listen to the OJ show again.
3. Am I crazy, or is "stringing a few memorable jams together" a pretty apt description of just about every great Phish set ever played?
First Set:
Solid. Divided sky had a flubbed section, but was extra jammy at the end. Bott was nice and funky. Page and Mike killed their solos in Ya Mar. Horn and My Friend were nailed and Antelope was a rager.
Second Set:
DWD: Covered a lot of ground in 20 minutes. Went into some deep space with Trey using a lot of effects. Really pretty. Started picking up steam again and then faded back out and then out of nowhere Trey and Mike and Page all pick up with a sweet Zeppelin-esque riff for a nice peak. Fades out into...
Twenty Years Later: Pretty normal. I love this song anyways. Goes into...
Carini: Wow. This was DARK. Seriously. The main theme faded out into a creepy effects laden jam that at times resembled the IT Waves. Page really shined here. He took over the role of melody while Trey and Mike and Fish created a dark atmosphere in the background. This eventually faded into...
BDTNL: I know what you're thinking. People love to hate this song, and at first glance the placement seems awful. But I actually...really liked the placement. Really. I think it worked perfectly coming out of the terrifying entity that was Carini. Out of the dark came something light and joyous. As silly as that sounded I really think it was brilliantly placed. It was the perfect counterpoint to the Carini before it. Trey and Page also do some nice work at the end. This goes into...
Julius: This jam seemed to have a little extra energy in it. After the mindfuck of the preceding songs everybody needed a nice rocker. Hit a great peak.
Slave: Double peaker!!! Beautiful build, especially Page. Great peaks.
Hood: The intro was funny. Very loose and playful. Trey nailed the Mr Miner riffs. The jam was incredible though! Very pretty build with great interplay and then the peak...I'm not religious, but I'm pretty sure I saw god during this peak.
Show of Life: This is a great song every time it's played. Great Closer.
Second set... Everything I thought I could want in a Phish set... And a true bar-raiser. DWD, and Carini especially, will both be analyzed and pored over by us Phish-nerds for years to come. And that's as it should be. Because as the Carini was closing out we were on an elemental tour. From air (DWD proper) -> water (DWD jam) -> hot lumpy lava (Carini). 2003 dark fo sho... And given the proper time to develop the psychic energy in spaceship MSG was enough to actually start tunneling the building into the earth. Our intrepid leaders took us beyond the subway and the detritus of modern industrial culture to the primal depths of Amazonia. Maybe Trey saw more than any pilot could handle... And felt the need to oblige the set list with the jangle release of BDTNL. Because that and Julius were merely breathers to make room for a Slave that soars. I'm a Slave to the Slave... It's my favorite Phish by a comfortable margin... And... Just....
Hood??? After Slave??? Never been done before... But of course. This was all about pushing limits. So it makes perfect sense.
This show manifested itself. It's the stuff that I've been looking for all these years. Love to all who made it happen. Positive vibes to the band, so they can find a way to try to recharge and relift us for what is supposed to be the climax of an MSG-NYE run. A Herculean task... But they proved they had more in em than we could've dreamed so.... There's hope
Cheers to the last of 2012 and a badass 2013 to come!!!!
Down with Disease in Set 2 got things going quickly, a beyond amazing version in my opinion, lots of improvisational jamming and unique playing with some ties of Ambient circa 1998 style noodling from Trey and the boys. A unique version and one of the best in 2012. Twenty years later, eh. Carini started strong and then again faded into a improvisational Dark ambient goo which was awesome! One of my favorite versions performed by Phish. Backwards down the Numberline had a good Trey Solo in it which seemed to keep things upbeat and not just a filler between the setlist. Julius was sick, a great version of the song, Trey again shredding the hell out of the version and fading into Slave. Slave was a good closer for the Show. I was thinking Guyute or Show of Life for the Encore.
Encore- Hood, this Hood was above average. This is my favorite Phish song so I am a firm Hood lover and expect a decent if not stellar version when i hear those drums and reggae beat being laid down. It was, a solid Hood with some moments of the past mixed into Type 2 playing (a majority of the show this evening) Show of life to cap things off. I knew it was coming one of these nights, I like this song it's like Heavy Things back in 1999, not my favorite but I do not dislike it either, Trey seemed to put his heart into this one and enjoys playing it.
Overall I liked the show this evening. I am hoping to catch the NYE stream tomorrow night or at least some of it, NYE is always a crazy time of the year and best wishes to all who are at the MSG tomorrow or those watching from home. Have a great NYE and be safe.
Highlights: SET 1- Ride Capt Ride, Antelope
SET 2- DWD, Carini, *encore Hood.
Set I: Starts off with Jim, which is one of my favorite songs. I had pretty high expectations as Jim was kinda coming back over the summer, but the version was short. It didn't disappoint me at all, I just wished it was longer. Oh well, great way to start the show anyway. Next is Cities, which I always love. The jam was really nice and could've maybe gone somewhere, but, in my opinion a slight ripcord from Trey cut if off. No matter, because he started up Divided Sky! I love this song so very much. It has a special place in my heart as it was the very first Phish song I ever listened to, and what caused me to listen to more. In my opinion a very well played version. Although there were maybe some flubs at the beginning, the climactic part was really well played. Also, this had a really good peak at the end which is always nice in a Divided. Next is Back on the Train, which was a really ripping version. Ride Captain Ride is also very good, of course dominated by Page. Ocelot starts, and I get really excited. I love this song very much. And it didn't disappoint. The groove they got onto was fantastic. Cue the opening chords to Ya Mar, and I get super, duper excited. I love this song even more than Ocelot. The Page solo is ripping, the Mike solo is ripping, the Trey solo... eh. Wasn't really a ballsy solo at all and could've been much better. Overall well played, but I wish it was longer. Horn is a song that I don't listen to very much but when I do, I always like it. Very well performed. My Friend, My Friend was good, but it certainly could've been better. They ditched the end and let Trey start up Antelope, which is always fantastic. I was really hoping that this Antelope would go so crazy (see LivePhish 2 version), but it wasn't up to that level. Still, Antelope is always a raging song, and I loved it, especially closing set 1.
Overall, a good set. Had a lot of songs that I really, really love, but they weren't jammed as much as I would've liked. Still, the set was thoroughly enjoyable and had some great moments. 3.5/5
Set II: My friend and I were guessing what the opener would be. I jokingly guessed YEM, knowing that would never happen. He guessed Down with Disease, and sure enough, the rumbled (coming from that weird new bass!) began. A well played composed part, as always. I really love that written Trey solo. Enter the jam. Oh. My. God. I was listening, and I almost couldn't believe my ears. It was happening, it really was! THE HOSE!!!!! This DWD is a must hear. I'm not sure which was better, this DWD or the 28th's Tweezer. Obviously very different songs, and I can't decide. Both are must hears. I was overjoyed listening to this. After last night's lack of serious jamming, it was just so great to hear that the band wasn't letting the absence of jamming become a pattern. Anyway, Twenty Years Later brings us back to Earth. A well played version, but nothing special. But the next song certainly was. Just as 20YL brought us back to Earth, Carini took us back into the land of the jam. Very dark and ambient and very wonderful. Listening to this second set was just making me so happy! Backwards Down the Number Line again brings us down to Earth, but its a very great earth. Trey delivers a really nice solo in this song. Maybe slightly out of place as has been said, but still good. Julius begins. I love this song as well. A super-fun version, extremely raging. This leads us to Slave to the Traffic Light, another favorite of mine (I know, I have a lot of favorites). The jam is fantastic, at least for me. Very beautiful as they mostly are, with some really nice Little Drummer Boy teases from Page. A great closer to a great set.
Overall, for me, this set was just sublime. Honestly, if you haven't, go listen to the DWD immediately, and while you're at it, listen to the Carine. While you're at that, listen to the entire set! This set, especially under the circumstances with the lack of jamming last night, was so refreshing, and hopefully proves that last night was just a minor (again, albeit fun) speed bump. 5/5
Encore: I really wasn't expecting the Hood. I was so happy when I heard it. Well played composed section, not the best though. In my opinion, a very nice jam. Very pretty. Next comes Show of Life. Well, this had to come at some point. Not a huge fan of this song, but I guess it's a fitting end, although I would've been satisfied with just the Hood. 3.5/5
Final Remarks: A good first set, with a few very good moments. Nothing outta this world though. For me, a fantastic second set. Again, the DWD is a MUST MUST MUST hear, especially for 2012, and the Carini is absolutely magnificent as well. Those are just the high points. The whole set was really great and extremely jammy. So happy to see that back! See you tomorrow for the last night of the Couchtour!
Set I:
Runaway Jim: as an opener i didn't expect it to be an epic of Dick's proportions but it was a great rocker as always.
Cities: As most people have said, rather straightforward version of a usually jammed song. eh.
Divided sky: among my favorite of phish tunes, this one didn't disappoint and built to a great peak for a 3.0 version
BOTT: Always a fun groover and this one built up really nicely. lotta fun
Ride captain ride: Love this one. happy and fun
Ocelot: one of my favorites off of Joy, this version was super solid and like the Divided sky and BOTT, built to a fantastic peak
Ya Mar: Always love this song. Such fantastic solos from Mike and Page, but trey pulled the ole' ripcord on it. Still fun as always
Horn: Beautiful as always. impeccably performed
My Friend, My Friend: A few flubs in the intro but rocking as always. Could've been a little crazier but hey, when trey drops down the opening licks to Antelope, i could care less
Antelope: Raging. Nuff said.
Overall set 1 was well played and exciting. no big jams to be seen, but great for a 3.0 set one. Filled with energy.
Set II:
DWD: Hose. I could not stop smiling throughout this entire jam. When i saw that weird headless bass mike brought out, i knew this was going places. I need to listen to this again. I would try to provide an in depth, real time review a la Charlie Dirksen but I need to listen to this many more times before i can do that. Anyway, absolutely beautiful. I tend to prefer weird jams like the 94 and 95 tweezers and stuff, but these kind of jams make me realize how much the band has matured since then and although it was the almost "immature" crazy jams that made me fall in love with this band in the first place, its jams like these that really show the amazing talent and musicality of those four guys up on stage. Must must must hear
Twenty Years Later: Standard, nice.
Carini: Oh Carini. Besides Light, i think Carini is perhaps the song that has gained the most jamming steam of any song since 2011. Carini has gone in so many different directions these past few tours. on 9/14/11 it was a beautiful, uplifting happy jam. On 6/7/12, effects laden and otherworldly. On 8/31/12, rocking and transcendental. Tonight it was dark. And when i say dark, i mean 03 swirling and brooding. This was akin to the IT 46 days. Very different from the blissful jams that defined the past summer tour. This is a must hear
BDTNL: opening was fine until i lost my internet connection.
Harry Hood: my connection came back during what i assumed was the peak. sadly that was true. so not much to say but i hear it was good.
Show of life: well earned indeed. Not a fan but not actually a bad song.
The first 3 songs of the set were absolute must hears, well, maybe not Twenty Years but the other two are must must must hears.
Sorry for the incomplete second set and encore but im sure you'll all hear about those from all the other reviews here. anyway, amazing show. loved every minute of it that i got to watch.
In the same way way that it was ok to get Down With Disease in what was to become the start of another of "those" six song sets that they are getting very good at performing this year. DWD, very long and very skanky, very deep and very dark until it revealed itself, Twenty Years Later. I love this song, it was the highlight of Sunday night Denver to my ears and it threatened to do so tonight. That was until the actual highlight IMHO started and with it, the lump on my head. I've now gotten back-to-back Carini's that have raised the bar for future versions and that is unfair, unfair to think that they could possibly top these last two versions, I couldn't possibly ask any more of them and this one in particular opened up Space and its infinite possibilities, the skank level was on overflow and we resided in its darkness until the light that is the Number Line shined upon us in the spirit of friendship that it was intended to be shared with us, some old friends on stage storytelling to the masses. Who happened to come out on top by luck of the draw. By crossing at the Traffic Light. And picking up Mr Minor and Mr Hood along the way. And feeling good about going. To the Show of Life. Thank you Mr. Minor. And Mr. Hood. And Mr. Trey. And Mr. Page. And Mr. Mike. And the ever-lovable Mr. Fishman. Memories are made of shows like this one. And the promise of another three glorious sets in what has already been a memorable MSG run. Who cares 'bout the gag, it will only be the desert in a four-course meal being delivered by chefs that are the best in their business. Can't wait to see/hear what ingredients they're planning on using in their next musical Gumbo.
No need to go into a in depth review, so ill just say the hightlights were:
Divided Sky, Back on the train , ocelot, My Friend, My friend
Disease>Twenty years later> Carini
I dont care what anyone else will say but that Backwards Down the Numberline was beautiful.
and one note on the encoe: Hood raged and Show of Life left me wanting soooooo much more for NYC, never been so pumped!
On top of that, you have arguably the finest Slave in over a decade (outstanding) going back-to-back with a Hood that is, simply, perfect. Maybe it doesn't go outside the box like 12/28/2010, but this Hood is the real deal!
And one last note: Set I's Ya Mar may very well be the finest type I version I've ever heard. Type I perfection doesn't get much attention on the forums, but if there's a single, definitive version of this song (played by any band) this may well be it. Think of it as an on-the-spot studio rendition. Awesome.
I've heard. They were plugged in and having a great time. This was a great comeback from last night, and personally, I loved the set list.

Set II & the encore have been covered -- Carini had a tribal head. Awesome stuff!
Set I:
Runaway Jim was a nice start to this show given that the past two nights had been pretty fun and raging and opened with "less" energetic songs. This Jim was not anything out of the ordinary but it got the Garden rocking and the band ready to jump into things. I think the Cities > Divided Sky was placed well here and as always, Cities was a nice chill funky groove; pretty standard here. Divided Sky was standard. Back on The Train got the funk going again and got Page rockin the whole place. Ride Captain Ride was a first for me and one that I had been chasing, it didn't really get into any jamming, but was a lot of fun; great song! Ocelot was good and really peaked towards the end. Ya Mar was another first (finally!) for me and was just awesome to see! Page... *cough* Leo... killed it on his solo and the rest of the song just grooved away! Horn, another first!, was great to see and a pretty standard version. MFMF was a surprise and the whole intro was tight to say the least. When the intro dropped into the verse the Garden went nuts. The rest of the song was standard, nothing out of the ordinary, but it really got the crowd raging for the Antelope that followed. I really enjoy a set closing Antelope and this one brought back the energy that the set opened with. The jamming was sick and Trey did tease something that sounded like Shakedown Street in the jam before the lyrics segment. The band was really tight during this and really killed it to end the set!
Set II:
Holy shit did they bring the heat!! I turned to the kid next to me (his 1st show) and jokingly said DWD opener, well the kid lost it and couldn't believe it once the bass wobbling had ended and he realized what song it was. Once the jam got started things immediately took off and there was some fast interplay between everybody. Things then slowed down and I remember Trey locking on to page and jamming chords along with Page. The tempo still remained slow for a bit and then things started to get dark and weird!! So much interplay between all of the band members here! Things then slowed back down again, but remained dark. After a little while, Cactus threw down some thunderous bass and the tempo picked back up for some stellar jamming. I actually really liked the segue into Twenty Years Later, it was a very nice fit IMO. It was standard, but it cooled things down for a minute before Carini blew the roof off! Man, Carini is such an amazing song and really gets things raging, this one is no exception folks. This song gives Mike a chance to use his envelope and meatball filters and really shake things up; what am I saying haha Page, Fish and Trey also KILL it in this. The jam segment is similar to DWD in that it starts out raging and then steps back and slows down. This slow part is when things start getting even darker yet! The end of Carini just unleashes the beast and the boys slay it a must listen! BDTNL takes that darkness and shattered it with light and happy notes. I really enjoy this song even though the lyrics at times are strange to me, the jamming always leaves me impressed; again, this one was no exception. Julius is always a crowd pleaser and this one kept the energy super high from the previous songs. Each chorus section got progressively more energetic and intense than the last and the jam at the end was great! Enter Slave, I knew this would be the last song of the set and this was the perfect way to end it. They really had this slave dialed in. I thought I was making stuff up in my head about hearing the LDB tease from Page until I looked it up on here haha. Simply an incredible set!
I was pleasantly surprised hearing Fish hammer those opening notes to HOOD! Hood as an encore is a huge treat and this one did not disappoint! I thought that Show of Life was a good choice to cap off this raging night of music and set the stage for the next night!
Ya Mar, DWD, Carini (must listen), Julius > Slave
first set: epic.
second set: more epic
if you are pissed because there was a flub here or a missed cue there, fuck YOUR face then...because chances are you can't even enjoy Phish because you were too busy getting loaded in the 90s and frying your brain...
-3.0 phan
I thought that the first set was outstanding - even though they played Ocelot, which is typically my bathroom song. Cities > Divided Sky made my night right from the start, followed by Ya Mar and MFMF and Antelope...SO GOOD. Nothing is perfect, but it doesn't need to be. The second set was pretty darn excellent, but I probably could've lived without 20 years. Meh, awesome nonetheless.
The guys had so much energy for these shows; I love to see Phish any time, but especially when it's obvious that they're having fun. The crowd's energy was reflected on the bands - the room felt like it could push through the ceiling, that's how good it was. I feel bad for anyone on couch tour for this run because holy enola did it feel good to be in that room.
Number Line is a true set killer and does its thing here. The tremendous amount of mood and momentum built by the Carini jam never comes full swing after that turd hits the punchbowl, and the Julius>Slave is far from a fitting end to a set that began with such wonderful jamming.
The first set is solid. I loved the Divided Sky. Ride Captain Ride was a tasty snack and Ya Mar through MFMF is pretty meaty. Antelope, like Julius and Slave needed some more gasoline in its fire.
Second set had a phenomenal DWD. Really great stuff. Wasnt happy they threw 20 years later in to curb the second set jam momentum. Carini was pretty good. Sweet slave. I thought the # line was one of the weakest versions I've ever heard and thought good was wry average too. Good show but not great except for the amazing Down With Disease and fun Carini antelope and back on the train. My first ride captain ride, fun during the song part but really empty sounding during the jam part, I'm not sorry I haven't seen more of them.
In going after people who write anything negative while ignoring everything else they write, as well as the other people who write glowing reviews without having been there, you are nitpicking on the negative reviews. See the irony there?
Runaway opener last time I saw this was Chaifetz. Always like this tune early Wow that crowd went nuts at 258 in it was like the Garden exploded! Gordo wearing a Denim Vest I mean how can this show be bad.
Cities as far as Im concerned NYC Theme song dare I say didnt rival 12/30/10 but the evening started giving me a 1/1/11 vibe so I knew this was going to be a fun evening.
Divided Sky I havent heard one I liked better since 11/18/10
Cant say I ever mind Train love the beat, love the sound of Treys growl
Ride Captain Ride what can I say classic! I saw another band do this the week prior, kind of amazing I saw 2 bands do Little Drummer Boy and Ride in the same 10 days. Sure it may have sounded like the encore to a bring out yer dead rockstars concert But I didnt care. I love the tune. Give me sing-along phish!
Ocelot Wow nicely played, nice to see these cats grind it out on this one. Blue Collar Jean Vest JAM!
Ive never met a YaMar I didnt like.
Horn sure it was Horn.
Nice drop in to MFMF well played
Lope nice finish fun set
2 its been said fucking amazing@!
Train was a highlight of the first set, Ride Captain Ride was also great as this old guy sitting next to me was loving it because he knew all the lyrics. I hear some Shakedown sounding stuff in Antelope as well, but I doubt it was purposeful...just kinda sounds like a jam to me.
Disease through Carini was thrilling, sent chills down my spine. When Trey started playing Number Line and the lights became bright again, I looked around to see if anyone was as astonished as I was at what we just witnessed. My buddy swears he saw Kuroda make a Japanese flag on the audience behind the stage during Trey's Woman from Tokyo teases...
And who doesn't love Hood? No one.
Energy was kept high for the whole show. The boys nailed this one.
Great times, great vibes, great people, great Phish.
Runaway Jim was highly forgettable, as was Divided Sky and Antelope. Yes, the DWD>TYL>Carini stretch was excellent stuff, but we've kind of reached a point with Phish where we break out the confetti and streamers when they string together a few memorable jams.
I don't mean to be a negative nellie. Last night was fun. But it wasn't a classic.

These Oswald Cupcake Cones will definitely earn you cool points as they are two of kids' favorite desserts rolled into one.
Watch all your favorite shows every day on Nick Jr
Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a standard 12-cup cupcake tin, grease and flour 9 cups. Using another standard 12-cup cupcake tin, stand 9 ice cream cones in 9 cups. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions.
Fill the ice cream cones halfway with the batter (these cakes-within-a-cone will form the base units). Divide the remaining batter among the prepared cupcake cups (these cupcakes will form Oswald's body, which sits on top of the cones). Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 to 20 minutes for the cupcakes and 22 to 25 minutes for the cones. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Invert the cupcakes and cool completely. Do not invert the cupcake cones.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of vanilla frosting into a resealable bag and set aside. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting with one teaspoon of blue food coloring (add more, if necessary, to get a deep royal-blue color). Spoon half of the blue frosting into another resealable bag.
Place a wire rack over a wax-paper-lined sheet pan. Heat the remaining blue frosting in the microwave, stirring often, until it's the texture of slightly whipped cream, about 5 to 15 seconds. Dip a cooled cupcake into the frosting to coat evenly (be sure to cover the sides as well as the top). Place cupcake on a wire rack to allow excess frosting to settle. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Allow one hour for frosting to dry.
Snip a 1/4-inch corner from the blue-frosting bag. Pipe a small amount of frosting on top of the cake in the ice cream cone. (If the frosting is too soft, refrigerate for about 15 minutes.) Put the cupcake (Oswald's body), stump-side down, in the ice cream-cone base. There should be space between the rim of the cone and the top of the cake. Press into the frosting to secure.
Spoon the chocolate frosting into a resealable bag. Snip an 1/8-inch corner from the bag. Using the frosting as adhesive, pipe small dots for eyes and attach the black or brown candies. Pipe a line for the mouth. Make the hat: Pipe a one-inch circle at the top left, center the gumdrop (which serves as Oswald's hat) over the one-inch circle, and press it, flat-side up, into the frosting. Snip a very small corner from the bag with the vanilla frosting. Pipe thin vertical lines on the right side of the eyes as highlights. With the remaining blue frosting, pipe four legs on each side of the cone, ending at the point where the cone narrows. Oswald cupcakes can be made up to a day in advance.

S. Korean Hit Movie 'The Tower' Plays by Hollywood Book
A disaster movie from South Korea about hundreds of people trapped inside a skyscraper engulfed in flames is the county's first hit of the year.
"The Tower" has pulled in 35.99 billion won ($34 million) since its opening on Dec. 25, with more than 4.9 million admissions, the Korean Film Council, or KOFIC, said on its website Monday.

- A Chinese Awards Show Gets a Hollywood Welcome
- Chinese Blogger Han Han Takes His Writing to the Big Screen
- To Film 'Wolf Totem,' French Director Raised Chinese Wolves
Taking a page from Hollywood's playbook, the movie takes place on Christmas Eve at the glitzy opening of a 108-story twin-tower luxury building in the heart of Seoul (watch the Korean-language trailer above). At a black-tie party to celebrate the launch, a helicopter showering artificial snow over the building — part of the festivities — loses control in a sudden updraft and crashes into one of the towers, setting off an explosion and igniting the skyscraper.
It's a proven disaster-film formula: Gather an attractive all-star cast to play an assortment of characters and give each of them their own personal soap opera: a veteran fireman in a troubled marriage; a young girl acting as matchmaker for her widower father and a kindhearted career woman; a young chef trying to summon the courage to propose to his girlfriend; a humble cleaning woman scraping together money for her son's college tuition; a deeply religious man who's won the lottery; and a heartless businessman who cares more about the fate of his building than the people trapped inside.
Framed in slick special effects, the mini-melodramas play out as the audience waits to see who will make it out alive.
If the story sounds familiar, it is. Director Kim Ji-hoon said in an interview last month with the Korea JoongAng Daily that he was inspired by the 1974 Hollywood disaster movie "The Towering Inferno," starring Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway and William Holden.
This time around, the lineup includes some of South Korea's biggest names: Sul Kyung-gu, Son Ye-jin, Kim Sang-kyung and Ahn Sung-ki. "The Tower," which began showing in the U.S. and Vietnam earlier this month, is slated to open this week in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Meanwhile, another South Korean hit is giving "The Tower" a run for its money.
"Man on the Edge" — director Jo Jin-kyu's wild comedy starring Park Shin-yang as a mobster whose life becomes tangled with rival gangsters, ghosts and fortune tellers — has collected more than 2.5 million admissions and 18.45 billion won since it was released on Jan. 9, according to KOFIC.

The roommate of a Minot woman who authorities say was one of four people slain by a Somali man two years ago says Omar Mohamed Kalmio had threatened to beat and kill Sabrina Zephier.
Defense attorneys question Elizabeth Lambert's credibility, and say evidence in the case is circumstantial and there's nothing directly tying Kalmio to the crime.
The 28-year-old Kalmio is on trial on murder charges in the Jan. 28, 2011, shooting deaths of the 19-year-old Zephier, who was the mother of his child, and her mother, brother and mother's boyfriend. Those three bodies were found the same day in another home.
Prosecutors say Kalmio disapproved of alleged drug and alcohol use by the family.
Kalmio is a Somali national who says he is in the U.S. under political asylum.

MARTINEZ -- Victims of violent crimes and their families often find the criminal justice system scary and confusing, but it's not something they have to face alone.
Contra Costa County's Victim Assistance Program has a team of staff and volunteers dedicated to supporting victims and families at the darkest times of their lives, walking beside them on the path to closure. The program, operated under the Contra Costa District Attorney's Office since 2004, was invaluable to Essie and Ricardo Colina Sr., whose 20-year-old son, Ricardo Colina II, was murdered in West Contra Costa County in 2009.
"We need help, especially victims who lose a child like we have. The impact of that is unbelievable," Ricardo Colina Sr. said.
"Going to court, hearing all the details -- it's devastating," Essie Colina said. "There's nothing like it. It cuts your heart out of your chest."
In the more than three years it took for their son's killers to be convicted and sentenced, the Colinas saw several prosecutors and defense attorneys come and go from the case. Always present was their victim advocate, Anthony Harris.
"My life will never be the same, never. I'm still just trying to learn how to live again," Ricardo Colina said Friday. "Anthony Harris was there to help me take steps to be able to walk in life again because I was at a point where I didn't want to live."
Advocates such as Harris help victims from the time a serious crime occurs, past the sentencing. In the most disappointing scenarios, where no one is charged with the offense, they are there as well.
At the Richmond and Pittsburg police stations, advocates help recent victims get emergency services. At the courthouse, advocates accompany the victims to court, hold their hands and pass them tissue. They help them fill out the paperwork to get victim compensation funds for medical expenses, funeral costs, counseling and, in some cases, relocation.
They explain the legal process, which is frequently delayed by state and county budget cuts.
"Most people in our communities have no experience in the criminal justice system. It can be very overwhelming, so they need someone who understands the process and breaks it down so they don't have to be so afraid of the unknown," said Shannon Mahoney, interim director of the program.
Last week, in recognition of Victims' Rights Week in California, the program honored Harris and nine others for their work in victims' rights last year.
Antioch resident Lucinda Jackson also was honored for her perseverance and grace through two trials in the quest for justice for her son, Andrew Le'Mar Green, who was murdered by his son's mother in Pittsburg in 2010.
It was at the award ceremony that Jackson decided to volunteer for the program at the Pittsburg police station. She considers the advocate on her case, Crystal Carey, part of her family.
"She lifted me up; just having her there was everything to me." Jackson said. "I want to sit down with other parents who have lost their children and give them the same support that Crystal gave me."
Most days are hard, said Harris, one of the first advocates employed by the District Attorney's Office. One time, a mother collapsed on the floor in tears upon hearing a not guilty verdict for the person accused of killing her son, and Harris had to bring the inconsolable woman to her feet and counsel her.
But the rewarding moments are abundant, he said. Victims of past cases frequently call, often on anniversaries and holidays, to say life is better now, or just thank you.
"That's what re-energizes us to do it again," he said.

The CPX-R is an evolution from Cascade's popular CPX helmet. The difference comes in the design of the shell. The CPX-R takes inspiration from race cars with ridges and lines that better balance the weight of the helmet.
A SevenTech Liner System channels energy from a direct impact, reducing the potential for concussions. Inside the shell is an adjustable fit system with the adjustment gear in the back of the helmet.
Offers excellent line of sight with each bar engineered in just the right location to offer increased vision. Low-profile, lightweight visor and chin piece.

Skate and BMX-influenced helmets are not only stuffy due to lots of padding and minimal venting, the one-size-fits-all lids look awkward too. POC's Receptor Commuter may appear like a simple skate lid, but it's brimming with technology engineered to make a daily commute much safer, and stylish.
Its light EPS liner absorbs impacts like standard helmets, but it also features an anti-static treatment. This helps quell helmet hair when you arrive at your destination. The liner also wicks perspiration so you're not a sweaty mess when running errands or walking into the office.
The outer shell is a durable PC-covered ABS plastic that brushes off scuffs from handling at bike racks -- but, more importantly give the Receptor CSPC impact certification. POC made sure to add plenty of cooling vents, and to ease removal/installation, the Receptor Commuter is equipped with a magnetic-guided FIDLOCK buckle for simple one-hand operation
For comfort, POC doesn't count on varying-thickness pads, instead, an adjustable neck pad ensures a snug fit. Adding to that three sizes are available, which also allow for a low-profile helmet -- something other skate-style lids can't claim. The POC Receptor Commuter comes in XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL sizes, with two color choices; Black or White.
- PC-covered ABS plastic shell
- Plenty of ventilation
- FIDLOCK one-handed closure
- EPS liner with anti-static treatment
- Adjustable neck pad

- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I got this as a gift for my brother. He commutes to work everyday and I wanted to keep him safe! This helmet is safe but also super light and breaths! so carrying it to his locker at work is a breeze and he doesn't have to worry about overheating!

Great keyboard
Reviewed by I Humphrey. Review Posted 23/05/2009
I just bought this keyboard as a replacement for my old clunky keyboard and it is a big improvement. The build quality is very good, the key action is light and quiet, the media centre keys are useful if you listen to music or watch videos and the calculator shortcut key is also handy. It is a very slim keyboard so it fits easily on my pull out keyboard shelf. Highly recommended.

Avoid if you use the function keys!
Reviewed by Dan. Review Posted 23/08/2009
Reasonably solid, nice key action and I dare so quite hard-wearing. The problem I have with this keyboard is it's too compact, the function keys are tiny and it doesn't really feel like a proper keyboard. The is no wrist support so you really need one of those horribly unhygienic gel things. Great if you're short of desktop space I guess, but not recommended for prolonged use. MS make far better keyboards than this.

unusual key sizes
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 19/09/2011
Considering its such a basic keyboard its not very cheap. The keys don't go down very far which some people might like but I don't. The function keys are small, so that's fine if you never use them, but useless if you do. It has volume control buttons and a calculator button.

Hi all,
I've been lurking on these forums these past few days trying to get Navi-X/iceFilms to work with PMS, but I'm at the end of my wits.
I have installed PMS-SHB, added the tv_plug.jar, channels and pms.conf and yet, when I try to play a movie, all I'm getting is a black screen on my TV(Sony Bravia 55NX720) and the error "The data is corrupted" on my PS3.
After that I even tried adding "navix.groovy" to extras/scripts as SharkHunter said. Nothing seems to be working.
I haven't been able to find a solution on the forums and yes, I have used the search function (on this website and Google).
Is there anybody willing to lend a hand?
Attachment: the pms log. Please notify me if there's any other file needed..

It's a new year!! Happy 2012 everybody. This episode, (download here) the Geeks talk about their new year's resolutions, goals, or whatever you would like to call it. It's a leap year so we'll all have 1 extra day to make sure we hit these goals, right?
Anyway, both Jason and Ray set the standard improved fitness goal. That is, both are going to make an effort to improve their overall fitness rather than just increased running distances at a faster pace. This means, there will be a lot more weight lifting, cycling, swimming, and other forms of fitness activities as the year goes by. Therefore, this year the show is going to focus on more than just running. Guests with backgrounds from other fitness activities will hopefully come on the show and share their stories.
We hope that you will join us as we go through 2012 and accomplish our goals together. At least until the Mayan calendar runs out😉
Until next time, leave feedback on iTunes, email questions and comments to feedback [at] GeeksInRunningShoes [dot] com or just 'like us' on facebook! Also follow us on Twitter, Jason (@guttocutwl) and Ray (@adeyemiking).

Disk Drill
Disk Drill is a free Mac data recovery software designed natively for Mac OS: easily protect your files from accidental deletion with Recovery Vault and recover lost data from Mac disks. When something is deleted Recovery Vault makes it possible to recover not only the file itself, but also its properties, such as original file name, location, etc.
Disk Drill also includes powerful S.M.A.R.T. disk monitoring right out-of-the-box; you can monitor your disks' hardware status and get automatic notifications of potential failures or other issues. If a disk or partition is failing, you can easily backup it into a disk image (DMG) which can later be mounted for recovery.
Disk Drill PRO also features a number of advanced scanning modes for data recovery of FAT, NTFS, HFS/HFS+, other file systems.Using Quick Scan you can locate deleted items on FAT and NTFS disks, this scanning method is fast and accurate, but is unlikely to find data deleted long ago. With Deep Scan you can try to recover data from any disk or memory card regardless of their file system. This recovery method is long and thorough, it scans your disk in a binary mode and is capable of finding deleted files even after formatting.
Disk Drill is a professional but extremely simple Mac data recovery software that helps you rescue data on your Mac disks, external or internal hard drives, memory cards, cameras, iPods Classic, etc.
Required OS: 10.6

Очень, очень, очень хорошая программа.
Очень эффективная.
С превосходным интерфейсом.
С очень простой навигацией.
И с понятными, простыми настройками.
Имеет русскую локализацию.
Восстанавливает файлы удалённые 1000 лет назад.
И бережно хранит все новые файлы.
Я поставил недавно эту программу просто так - чтоб была. И вот недавно удалил с диска нечто очень важное. Изумлению моему и радости моей не было предела, когда программа в течении 2 минут восстановила 1,5гб информации.
Ставьте программу - не пожалеете. Даже бесплатный вариант. (для русских есть скидка - стоимость составляет 1500 рублей. Но можно кое-где и с таблеткой найти))).
From Russia with Love
Although the "Pro" version is a little pricy, it is worth it. I had an NTFS volume that I could NOT recover files from under Windows with a Windows app (Advanced NTFS Undelete). Disk Drill Pro could and did.
This software rules! It took quite long to "deep scan" a 1 TB raid 0 broken disk, but it popped out a vast majority of the files I assumed I had lost forever. And the same is doing for the other volume. Impressive! The customer care is fast and the developers are very active. This program (I use the one on app store, but those are quite the same) is a little jewel. If you ever will have the sadness to face a RAID 0 brokedown, consider this app for a spin.
Disk Drill for me is simply hands down the best recovery software for Mac.
I share my laptop with my 2 kids, a disaster waiting to happen. I used Disk Drill when it was in beta and it has saved me at least half a dozen times.
It is so simple to use and doesn't hog resources. Several of my friends have installed Disk Drill and a couple have upgraded to the Pro version, the main reason being that there is no huge learning curve and the software works. Put Disk Drill on your 'must have software' list Better still just download it now, you won't look back . . well if you do your lost files will be waiting for you.
It does happen - your iMac becomes slower and slower, than can not see you hard drive. Bummer - take your drive out, install the new HD and reinstall your OSX from media. Install you "dead" HD in external disk enclosure, hook up to your iMac via USB, FireWire most likely want work - your iMac knows that this HD serial number is considered "dead".
How about all your zillions of music, video and pictures. These are on your external drive now. How to recover them?
Answer is Disk-Drill. It found all of my Audio, Pictures and Video files, some films are GBytes size.
I was more than impressed, Disk Drill actually works and it is free.
Before I discovered Disk Drill I try commercial disk recovery software, evaluated "Demo" programs and bought one for more than $100. Well, >$100 later found that it can not recover files larger than 30MB, could not find directories names nor file names. Called "support", yes "support' because there was no support. Calls and e_mails just waist of time.

4. Herding cats: 23:56
I splashed her with water and shampooed briskly over her loud complaints, but she was more docile than the books would have had me believe - no fury of claws, no tantrums or fiery tempers. The bath over, I rubbed her down with a towel - or tried to, as she kept escaping my grasp, electing to diffidently wash herself as if the indignities I'd put her through were completely uncalled for. Her twitching tail a metronome of annoyance, she smoothed her fur down into some semblance of order and proceeded to give me the cold shoulder.
I decided to head back to the Internet room in order to check on my students' progress and get some work done. With no desire to leave an annoyed cat in the darkness of the house, I picked Neko up and brought her to the room as well. She proceeded to ignore me and calmly continue licking herself off - that is, until sleepiness got the better of her. I was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar nose poking around my computer, glad to feel the dainty feline jump into my lap, and content to hear the sleepy rumblings of a somnolent, purring cat.
It was not too long ago that Neko was just a kitten who nestled in my lap while I checked my mail or added to my webpage. She had neither the skill at jumping nor the confidence she enjoys now, and due to her small size and lack of strength she could not gracefully jump into people's laps. No, she scaled people's legs, digging in with her claws and hanging on for dear life. A few instances of this and I learned to carry a heavy towel with me to the Internet room so that at least no blood would be drawn; her claws would find purchase in the fabric and the soft, thick towel would cushion the impact of claws designed to rend flesh. (Cats are clearly no vegetarians.)
There was no keeping Neko on the ground. She preferred hiding behind the monitor, playing with the printer cables, gnawing on the edges of my computer - at least until I could spare a hand to shoo her off. She'd bound from the shelves to the desk in one fluid motion, springing from floor to chair to floor again with the enviable agility of a creature that lives in a fully three-dimensional world. Even we humans do not enjoy that appreciation of different surfaces. Most of our lives are spent on the ground, walking around. Dogs are like that as well. We obey the laws of gravity; cats flout it.
Earlier she chased the mouse pointer as I moved it around the screen. She was confused by the fact that it could always slip out of her grasp. Now she sits on my lap, awake but resting, half-lidded almond-shaped eyes staring sleepily at the bookshelves. I feel her breathing on my lap. The cat hair sticks to the velvet dress I wear. It is the end of the day and I do not have to brush cat hair off before going out. The bell around her neck is silent, and she is a picture of calm and contemplation. Perhaps we should go to bed before she remembers that she is a nocturnal animal.
3. Oooh, one of my students is into GTK!: 14:44
2. Chat with Jerome about friendship: 02:39
Sorry, encrypted; this is for me to remember, and you probably won't want to read this anyway.
1. Christmas memories: 02:15
Dropped by the CompSAt Christmas party and the Trend Micro Christmas party on 2003.12.13. The Trend party was quite a show with all sorts of presentations. Also attended the IBM Christmas party on 2003.12.20 and got to meet a few people.
Went to DISCS Christmas party at Dr. Rodrigo's house on 2003.12.19. Had tons of fun. Eric and I sang "Staying Alive" for kicks. Because we did particularly well (97), we went through a few other high and fast songs. Then Ariel, Christine, Fanny, Eric, and I slept over at Fanny's apartment - well, more like passed the night playing Taboo.

Roger (guest)When I want to be inspired by music, I listen to U2. When I want to be depressed (in a good way), I listen to Adele. When I want to rebel, I listen to Green Day. When I want to just dance and listen to damn great beat songs, I listen to Britney Spears. By far, her best album is Blackout, and if her 7th album even comes close to that, 2011 will be her year. I'm sorry I'm not a monster. I believe I'm beautiful in and out. We call people that we despised monsters. What's cool about being a little monster?January 5, 2011 at 5:04AM ESTReply to Comment
If you called people you despised monsters, then you probably bullied those people you called monsters. Their only crime may have been that they aren't as pretty outside as you think you are. But your scorn and disrespect make you horribly ugly on the inside, and that's where you truly live. And someday, some people are going to see that ugly prejudiced core of you, and all the cosmetic surgery in the world won't restore peoples' perception of your beauty. Seeing your disdainful side will change how they see your outside. I think we all know who is the real monster here.January 12, 2011 at 10:32PM EST
StephanieOh Cheryl, seems like you haven't read Roger's message well. I think his point is that Lady Gaga is just promoting ugliness, and not the physical kind. Her behavior is nothing less than a monster. She intentionally goes to a baseball game wearing a two-piece and giving the finger. She consistently uses the F-word in her concerts for no reasons at all. Lady Gaga is a real monster. She makes her fans as if their inferior and then she tries to make them think that she is there to empower them. Sorry, my friend, but that's the truth. I'm not a big Britney fan, although I listened to her Blackout album, and it was quite good. I looked it up on dictionary.com, and here's what a monster means: .
a legendary animal combining features of animal and human form or having the forms of various animals in combination, as a centaur, griffin, or sphinx.
any creature so ugly or monstrous as to frighten people.
any animal or human grotesquely deviating from the normal shape, behavior, or character.
a person who excites horror by wickedness, cruelty, etc.
any animal or thing huge in size.
I, too, would hate to call myself nor my children monsters. Would you?January 29, 2011 at 5:45AM EST

The seasonally adjusted jobless rate in Jackson County fell marginally in October to 10.6 percent from 10.7 percent in September and improved from 11.5 percent in October 2011.
Figures compiled by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics show payroll employment rose by 830 jobs in October. Over the year, the county has lost 120 nonfarm payroll jobs — reversing the estimated over-the-year gains reported over the previous seven months. Private sector employment was flat over the year, with the losses occurring in government employment.
In October 2011, there were 94,370 people on local payrolls. That number dropped to 93,277 in September and fell to 92,674 in October. However, the workforce declined by nearly 2,000 during the past 12 months.
Over the year, retail trade has picked up 390 positions, manufacturing 120 and construction 100. Leisure and hospitality are 70 jobs ahead, while mining and logging picked up 60 as did financial activities. Professional and business services, however, declined by 360 positions.

Not long ago, professional organizer Silvia Oppenheim was helping some parents get their kids' home-study habits in order and discovered school assignments and art projects scattered all over the place.
"I even found some homework at the bottom of the pool," says the founder of Le Concierge SF, who is also certified in early childhood development and art therapy. She's not quite sure how those lessons ended up in their watery grave, but as the fastidious Felix Unger is her witness, no homework will ever drown again.
Oppenheim helps families arrange kid-friendly workstations, design orderly storage areas for school supplies, soccer cleats, violin cases, library books, cellphone chargers -- you name it -- and even set up things like a tidy "hanging garage" for a hundred Hot Wheels cars -- a repurposed over-the-closet-door shoe holder.
While it may seem much of this is common sense, more people are turning to professional organizers when the school year rolls around -- not just to get desks in order, but to develop lasting time-management skills and "put organizational systems in place so parents and kids can follow them throughout the year," Oppenheim says.
It's not surprising some families need support these days, what with loads of demanding schoolwork, whirlwind after-school schedules and -- perhaps most challenging of all -- technological distractions.
And the summer break never helps.
"August is our busiest month for parents calling to set things up for school," says Amanda Kuzak of Mountain View-based Kuzak's Closet. "(Parents) embraced the summer as much as the kids did -- kids have been off to camp, routines have changed, families have let a lot of things go, and the house is in disarray. They know they have to get back into the school schedule, go through clothing to see what fits, inventory supplies, get lunchboxes set up.
"Kids, especially high school students, are under so much pressure these days to put more time in," Kuzak says. "It's all about working smarter, not harder."
As a mom of two teenagers, Kim Marshall, of Menlo Park, has hired Kuzak several times for various organizational projects, and specifically for back to school.
"Amanda has helped us with each student having workstations in their rooms, school supplies in designated drawers, and keeping desks just for working, with fun things kept in completely different areas to prevent distraction," she says. "That's a smart idea; I never thought of needing to do that. So I'm totally addicted to (hiring an organizer). It's expensive but worth it."
And as with any other home organizational issue, it often helps to have fresh eyes on the scene, says Gayle Grace of Oakland-based All Things Home Organizing.
"You live in your home and go through the motions, and you don't see these things," she says. "Sometimes I'm astounded when I go into people's homes and I say, 'Well, why don't you turn the dining room table in the other direction to open up the hallway?' and they look at me like I just invented fire."
Being 'pro' active
Even if you don't have the bucks to hire someone, there are plenty of DIY steps parents can take to ease into the school routine themselves. Here are few tips from the pros:
Homework stations
Time management

The X-Arcade™ was made to be user serviceable, just like a real arcade. It does not void the Lifetime Warranty to open it.
Click here for instructions on how to open the X-Arcade
To change the X-Arcade from 8-way to 4-way, first open the X-Arcade™ from the bottom to reveal the bottom side of the joysticks as noted above. First you will want to remove the silver "C" shaped metal piece (C-Clip) on the bottom of the joystick handle. Be sure there is something holding the handle side of the stick in from the other side as removing the C-Clip will release it. Using a flat-head screwdriver, put the tip in one of the 2 slots of the C-Clip and pry it sideways away from the joystick handle to remove it (careful, they like to run away from you!). The next piece under that is the 4/8-way Selector, simply remove it and flip it over to change to 4-way mode. (When the fat part of the 4/8-way Selector is touching the microswitches it is in 8-way mode, the thin part touching the microswitches is 4-way mode.) Now replace the C-Clip, and the bottom panel, and enjoy some Pac-Man™!If your joystick is not hitting a direction, you may need to adjust the microswitches.
