Flat spot 6 weeks after breast lift and augmentation should improve
The area that you are pointing to in your photograph is the medial portion of your inframammary crease and the flattening may simply be due to the shape of the pocket that contains or breast implant.
With further downward migration of your implants and adjustment to your body this area may become more round however if it does not by 3-4 months it may be permanent.
Most importantly see her plastic surgeon and discuss this in detail.

moreWhen Occupied Vichy's Admiral Darlan was assassinated by a young French zealot in Algiers in December 1942, Winston Churchill observed to the House of Commons—in exasperation moderated with great sympathy—that the "Good Lord in his infinite wisdom did not choose to make Frenchmen in the image of the English." Some, on both sides of the Channel, may shout "Bravo!" or "Hear Hear!" but the fact is incontrovertible. With even less likelihood of challenge, the same could be said of the two nations. Geography, as much as history, though hand in hand, is what creates a nation. Over the centuries, while England lay protected from the invader (often, indeed, from outside influence) by the Channel, the North Sea and the Atlantic, France had nothing to guard her from the "barbarian at the gates." As Guderian and Rommel proved in May 1940, not even her great but sleepy rivers like the Meuse, the Oise, the Somme and the Marne could prevent an invader from sweeping across the boundless flat plains of northern France to threaten her capital city, Paris—any more than the Vistula and the Niemen could preserve Poland, with a geography that was so similar. (And see what a deal history dealt to the Poles!) West of the Rhine, all through her history, France had no topographical boundaries on which she could rely.
Thus much of her first two millennia encompasses an eternal hunt for security, on the one hand through strengthening herself at home; on the other, by aggressively pursuing expansionism abroad—often under the slogan of la gloire. In the pursuit of security, opposing instincts of the libertarian versus the authoritarian would repeatedly vie against each other.
In the beginning, France consisted of little more than an embattled island in the middle of the River Seine, surrounded by bristling palisades, in what is now Paris's Île de la Cité. The Romans founded
"Lutetia," as they called it, at a time when, as readers of Asterix know, Gaul was divided into three parts under Julius Caesar. (The word "Lutetia," romantic as it sounds, in fact derived from the Latin for "mud"
—appropriately enough, as its long-suffering denizens would discover over many successive centuries.)
Fortunately, Emperor Julian (ad 358) found Lutetia, with its vineyards, figs and gentle climate, so thoroughly agreeable that he refused a summons to lead legions to the Middle East. Surprisingly, he even found the Seine "pleasant to drink, for it is very pure and agreeable to the eye." Already in Roman times Lutetia became prosperous and alluring enough for it to be worth assault, and burning, by marauders from across the Rhine. About the same time as Nero watched Rome burn, the whole of the wooden settlements on the left bank were razed by fire. The city contracted, the Parisians withdrawing, once again, into the highly defensible fastness of the Île de la Cité. One of the first of many Germanic invasions was seen off by Emperor Julian, after the Alamanni had come to within only twenty-five leagues away—roughly the same spot as their grey-clad kinsmen reached under the Kaiser in 1914. The prayers of Sainte Geneviève, patron saint of Paris, reputedly caused Attila the Hun to swing away from the city in 451, and over the ages intercessions to her were to be made to save Paris from latter-day Huns—with varying degrees of success.
Rome gave Paris her first revolutionary martyr, Saint Denis, decapitated at what became the "Mons Martyrum"—or Montmartre. The fields around his place of execution were said to have "displayed a wonderful fertility." Ever after, the Roman tradition would run like a vital chord all through French history, summoned up and referred back to at crucial moments. In his godlike splendour, the "Roi Soleil" tapped into it, content to see himself portrayed as Hercules on the Porte Saint-Martin. The Great Revolution and its heirs reinvented such artefacts as consuls and senators, tribunes and togas. Napoleon I had himself crowned Emperor, then emulated Trajan's Column to vaunt his victories over his foes at Austerlitz in the Place Vendôme; Napoleon III, also assuming the title of Emperor, reverently clad the statue of his great uncle atop it in a toga, and when things were going badly for him in 1869, went to seek inspiration at the Roman ruins of Lutetia.
Equally, the Seine was, and is, and always will be, Paris. From earliest days the navigable river and the north-south axis that intersected it at the Île de la Cité formed one of Europe's most important crossroads. The island itself constituted a natural fortress, all but unassailable. In marked contrast to the estuarial, shallow and narrow Thames, the Seine's waters were not too swift and were capable of carrying heavy loads, ideal for commerce in wine, wheat and timber. It enabled Paris to dominate trade in the north as Lyons on the Rhône did in the centre, and Bordeaux on the Garonne and Nantes on the Loire in the west—thus making Paris a natural commercial capital early in the Middle Ages; never to lose this primacy. Resting on the river like a great ship, Paris appropriately adopted the motto of Fluctuat Nec Mergitur ("She Floats But Does Not Sink"), retaining it as city burst far beyond its island bounds.
A dynasty of Frankish rulers, mostly yobbish louts whose name appropriately derived from the Latin word for "ferocious," now pushed in from the east and devastated the Gaul lands as they went. Once established in France, having moved to Paris from the temporary capital of Rheims they came to be known as the Merovingians.* Over two-and-a-half dark centuries they wrangled and split among themselves, beginning with the first Merovingian king, Clovis, who killed off most of his family; "after each murder," writes Maurice Druon, with some acidity: "Clovis built a church." They were not gentle, or nice people, these Frankish forebears of the modern-day Parisian—especially the women, who were strong, dominating, often ferocious, and who lived to great ages. There was Queen Fredegonda (545–97), described as glowing "like the eye of a nocturnal carnivore," who had women burned alive on flimsy allegations of being responsible for the deaths of her children, and for whose fierce pleasures her lover, King Chilperic, had his first two wives murdered within the same week. Even after Fredegonda's death, her bitter rival, Brunhilda (543–613), now a venerable septuagenarian, was brutally put to death. Tortured for three days, her last descendants slain before her eyes, chroniclers have it that she was then hoisted onto a camel (possibly a somewhat rare spectacle in contemporary France) and paraded in front of her deriding army. Finally she was "tied, by one arm, one leg and her white hair, to the tail of an unbroken horse," allegedly along what is now the Rue des Petits-Champs, stronghold of bankers in the 2nd arrondissement.
During the ascendancy of these formidable early Frenchwomen, precursors of Reine Margot and Madame Defarge, convents were burned to the ground with their inmates inside, leaders assassinated in conjugal beds, children abducted and murdered, hands severed, eyes gouged, lovers defenestrated, and cunning poisons developed in the name of statecraft. Byzantium had nothing more deplorable to show than the Merovingians. But at least, under Clovis, the notion of Paris as a capital city first became accepted, from which—in the brief three last years of his grisly life—Clovis administered a kingdom even larger than modern France. His descendant, Dagobert, died of dysentery, aged only thirty-six, but his interment at Saint-Denis established the principle for the burial of subsequent kings of France. In a curiously progressive fashion, none of the Merovingian rulers was ever crowned, they were all elected.
The throne of France would have fallen into Muslim hands if, a hundred years later, the usurping strong-man and bastard, Charles Martel, had not halted the Saracens at Poitiers. As it was, the closing years of the century saw the last of the Merovingians and the arrival of Charlemagne, a rather less attractive character than his portraits and subsequent canonisation would suggest. He was more German than French (and looked it), and an absentee ruler who did little for France, or Paris; it has mystified many that a statue was erected to him in front of Notre-Dame. It was more for his greatness than his goodness: crowned Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas day in the year 800, Charlemagne fought forty-seven campaigns in as many years; he married four times (he divorced his first wife, and then three died—to be replaced by four concubines). He forbade his daughters to marry, preferring them to live at home and populate the court with bastards. Charlemagne's Carolingian dynasty would last another 200 years. His empire extended from the Pyrenees to the Elbe—but he ran it all from Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen), rather than Paris.
The great empire was short-lived. Under Charlemagne's son, the first of eighteen named Louis (nicknamed "the Pious"), it was dismembered into seven parts. As the Carolingians wrangled, and all Europe sank into a kind of lethargy, in the ninth century a new and unknown warrior race emerged to the north—Norsemen, surging out of Scandinavia to invade the British Isles and Russia as far as Kiev, and even reaching Constantinople. In 843, Nantes was sacked, the bishop killed on the steps of his altar. Only two years later, 120 long-boats, terrifyingly decorated and with thirty pairs of oars, attacked Paris unexpectedly from up-stream. Once again the population fled; the Norsemen departed, carrying off tons of booty—including the magnificent bronze roof of Saint-Germain-le-Doré. They appeared everywhere, like some terrible plague of locusts, even sailing up the Rhône to pillage Valence, and striking at Pisa in Italy. Defenceless Paris was sacked—and more churches lost their roofs—another five times over the next twenty years. How these dauntless seaborne marauders were able to strike, with such impunity and effect, so far inland remains something of a mystery. Meanwhile the useless Charles the Bald occupied himself by putting out the eyes of his son, suspected of plotting against him.
As in the time of Attila, Paris shrank back into the original twenty-five acres of the Île de la Cité. In 885, with Charlemagne's legacy disintegrating and the throne of France to all intents vacant, there came the first siege of Paris. Setting forth from England, a force of Norsemen captured Rouen and headed on up the Seine. Fourteen hundred boats, said to have "covered two leagues of the river" and bearing a formidable force of some 30,000 hirsute warriors, reached Paris. To have woken up and seen this terrifying array on the Seine must have been shattering for the Parisians. These Norsemen constituted a besieging force comparable only to the Prussians who were to invest the city almost exactly a thousand years later.
Led by a heroic Comte de Paris, Eudes, son of Robert the Strong, Paris refused to surrender—the first time that any city had resisted the terrible Norsemen. Eudes was to prove himself France's homme fort, but the siege lasted ten grim months. Natural forces even allied themselves with the attackers; on 6 February a flood swept away the Petit Pont, enabling the Norsemen to capture one of the châtelet fortresses. Next famine broke out. In despair, Eudes slipped out of the city and galloped to Germany to demand assistance from the Emperor, Charles the Fat. Charles set out unwillingly, but the size of his ponderous army moving down from Montmartre caused the fatigued Norsemen to hesitate. Dubious negotiations were entered into, in which the Parisians bribed the Norsemen with 700 livres of silver and a free passage of the Seine, both ways—encouraging them to carry the war upstream to Burgundy, and leave Paris in peace. It was a deal which, subjecting the unhappy Burgundians to the worst winter they had ever known, would lead to centuries of instinctive mistrust and hatred between the principality of Burgundy and France, culminating during the Hundred Years War in an alliance with the English.
As a result of his brave defiance towards the Norsemen, two years later Count Eudes found himself elected as king by the nobles in preference to a German princeling: just to pile chaos on chaos, for a while there were in fact two Kings of France of East and West—but in Paris
it was Eudes who mattered. In 911, he bought off the Norsemen by giving them the duchy of Normandy. From then on their eyes were encouraged to turn northwards, with cheerful projects of conquering Saxon England.
Now a great-nephew of Eudes, Hugues Capet, saw off the Germanic Emperor Otto II on the slopes of Montmartre (close to where Saint Denis was separated from his head). In 987, in the city of Senlis, he was elected king by assembled French barons, and a month later Capet was crowned in Rheims Cathedral, thereby establishing a fresh precedent, like Dagobert's interment at Saint-Denis. He ruled for only nine years (987–96), but for the first time Paris had a French, not Frankish, king and a new French dynasty. Forced to give up title to Lorraine and concede the already historic fortress of Verdun to the Germans, however, the domain of France inherited by Hugues Capet looked like a tiny kernel surrounded by a mass of hostile pulp comprising Burgundy, Flanders, Normandy, Aquitaine and Lorraine. As the energetic Norsemen, now Normans, swarmed across the English Channel and began to reorganise the sleepy and backward Saxon England they had conquered, Capetian France remained poor, its vassals powerful, its rulers in thrall to the Church and inhibited by the lack of a common language. But by 1328, when the Capetian dynasty had run its course, the kingdom of France had become the most united and potent in western Europe.*
There are no portraits of Hugues Capet (although the surname came as a sobriquet because of the abbeys whose "cappa" he wore). He died young of smallpox, but he had arranged a dynastic marriage for his eldest son, Robert, and assured his succession as rex designatus. The only text attributed to him was his coronation oath:
I, who am about to become king of the Franks, by divine favour, on this day of my coronation, in the presence of God and the saints, . . . promise to distribute justice to the people who are in my care, according to their rights.
It was to be repeated by all his successors down to the revolution. Although he seems to have been a timid and anomalous character, herein lies Hugues Capet's claim to fame; from him would be descended nearly forty kings who would succeed each other over a period of more than 800 years.

Of course but what they are paying for is a standard and the comfort and

BYU, USU football: Breaking down the Cougar offense vs. Aggie defense (11 items)
Brandon Gurney, who covers BYU, and Kraig Williams, who covers Utah State, break down the matchups when BYU has the football this Friday. This is the second part of a two-part preview.
Overview of BYU rushing
By Gurney
The Cougars average 307.2 yards per game on the ground, including ouputs of 550 yards against Texas and 309 yards against Middle Tennessee State. Both Virginia and Utah held BYU to just under 200 yards on the ground.
The Cougars employ a lot of read option with quarterback Taysom Hill at the helm. Hill leads the team in rushing and averages 141.2 yards per game and 8.6 yards per rush. Sophomore Jamaal Williams sat out last game with a concussion, but is expected to play against the Aggies. Williams averages 126 yards per game and 5 yards per rush.
BYU rotates its backs frequently and will often run out of an inverted wishbone formation, which features three backs. Paul Lasike and Michael Alisa have both contributed heavily and offensive coordinator Robert Anae indicated that freshman Algie Brown could see more reps after his standout performance against Middle Tennessee. Adam Hine suffered a concussion last week and is questionable for Friday.
Email: email@example.com: @BrandonCGurney, @KraigW
1 of 11. Overview of Utah State rush defense
When Gary Andersen left Utah State for Wisconsin, many thought that the Aggie defense would take a hit. New defensive coordinator Todd Orlando kept a lot of the same principles that made USU a great defense in 2012 and has kept the Aggies in the upper echelon of defenses.
Week to week the defense has gotten better against the run. In week one against Utah, the Aggies allowed just 3.36 yards, a mark that has decreased every week. Last week San Jose State mustered just 101 yards of rushing offense on 35 attempts (2.89 yards per carry) in a 40-12 blowout.
The linebackers are the star in USU's base 3-4 defense. Middle linebackers Jake Doughty and Zach Vigil lead the team with 50 and 46 tackles respectively. Outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell will move around the formation and spend a lot of time on the line of scrimmage and can make big plays, leading the team with six tackles for loss and two fumbles forced.
Safety Maurice Alexander is a converted linebacker and might see some more time near the line of scrimmage if the Aggies decide to load the box. The Aggies will rotate a lot of defensive linemen, but rarely do they show up in the box score. B.J. Larsen, Paul Piukala and the rest of the D-line focus on taking up blockers to let the talented linebackers make the majority of the plays.
2 of 11. Key matchup for BYU in the run game
by Gurney
BYU's offensive front vs. a stout Aggie defensive front is the key matchup. Anae made no bones about it — his team was beat in the trenches against Utah and that was the difference in the game. The Cougar offensive line has yet to produce more than 200 yards rushing against a quality defensive front and this will need to change should BYU hope to come out of Logan with a win.
Another key matchup will be the offensive line against the crowd. Illegal procedure penalties have become too common for this front and this will be the first time it plays in front of a truly hostile crowd. The front will have to remain composed and limit mental mistakes to sustain drives.
3 of 11. Key matchup for Utah State in the run game
Jake Doughty and Zach Vigil teamed up for 20 tackles and a fumble forced against Air Force, the most run-heavy team Utah State has seen this season. Containing Taysom Hill is going to be a much bigger task, but the Aggies must be stout in the middle to keep the Cougars from moving the ball. The defensive line has done its job in every game, so it will likely come down to Doughty and Vigil being able to make tackles in space and in one-on-one situations to keep the Hill and the Cougar run game from exploding.
4 of 11. BYU rushing outlook
by Gurney
Until Taysom Hill proves able to beat a defense with his arm, teams will continue to stack the box against him. The Aggies will likely put eight men in the box and even spy Hill with a safety or a linebacker. Utah State's strength is at linebacker and the Cougars will do extremely well to muster more than 200 yards rushing against what will likely prove to be the best defense they've faced this season.
5 of 11. Utah State rush defense outlook
This is strength-on-strength matchup. The Cougars can run the ball and the Aggies are geared to stop that from happening. Utah State will likely follow the blueprint that Utah laid out a few weeks ago and load the box to keep BYU from getting the ground game going.
With that in mind, look for the Aggies to hold the Cougars under their absurd 300 yards per game on the ground and end up somewhere closer to the 200 yards BYU gained against Utah two weeks ago.
Comments (1)
This is the first time that we'll be able to see Hoffman at 100% this season. I think that is going to make A (though maybe not THE) differense.

I'm not liking how this game calculates calories burned. Did a 7 minute boot camp workout and only burned 4 calories. I find that very hard to believe. Any suggestions?
Just do the wall breaker activity - you will burn almost 10 calories every minute. Of course, if you jump rope, which is much harder and uses much more energy, you will spend only 1 or 2 calories every minute.
They are clearly extraordinarily inaccurate.
Whatever way they use to measure the calories burnt is very broken, so don't take it seriously...
If I do an hour of workouts (mostly intermediate to hard cardio mix), I burn around 250 calories according to Your Shape. But turning to the exercise calorie chart listed on the Mayo Clinic website (taken from a peer reviewed study), that's less then I'd burn walking at 2mph for an hour...which is ludicrous.
I really wish they'd fix it, but I'm assuming their putting all their effort into the DLC and 2013 version of the game...
Here is the link to the calorie chart if anyone is interested: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/SM001099
I'm not expecting too much from ubisoft, they still haven't fix the problem on the first one (save game).
So I guest we're stock with what we got.
Same issue with the fact that you don't know how long you have been exercising and no total calories for the day either.
I can not understand the constant whining about the calorie count in YSFE 2012. Ok, the counting is somewhat pessimistic. But first of all it's a COUNTER, and not a realistic calorie measurement. Unless the physiological data of the player can be measured, eg with a chest strap, a realistic measurement is impossible.
I took the calorie chart listed on the Mayo Clinic website and did some mathematics. First, i was surprised about the multipliers. Per activity, they are always the same regardless of weight. Calorie charts from other sources show a slight increase in the multiplier with increasing body weight.
Next, i converted the calorie consumptions to my weight of 80 kg. We all have an idle consumption, even if we sleep. For me, its about 1660 kcals per day or 69.17 kcal per hour. This 69.17 kcal i substracted from each of the interpolated consumption data. From the resulting values, I then calculated an hourly average of 426.58 kcal.
My personal notes from January 2012 show a mininum calorie consumption of 4.51 kcal/min, a maximum of 10.56 kcal/min and an average of 6.35 kcal/min or 380.72 kcal/hr. That does not seem so far away from 426.58 kcal.
On another note, what workouts do you do to burn 380 kcal/hr? I'm 90 kg, do about an hour of shape and burn workouts per session, mix of intermediate's and hard's, and have only been averaging 201 kcal/hr in January? (I do have my information inputted in game)

Traveling with grandkids: Family-friendly Las Vegas vacation activities
Dec 1, 2011, 8:21 a.m.
Whoever said that Vegas was just for grownups probably hasn't paid Sin City a visit in quite some time. Long gone are the days of old when all you could really count on is scantily clad showgirls and losing your paycheck at the first blackjack table you hit. These days, Las Vegas has morphed into a wonderland of colorful activity for those young and old. If you're thinking of taking the grandkids on vacation with you, why not swing by Vegas and take advantage of some of these uniquely family-friendly activities?
Fremont Street Zip Line Ride -- That's right, old Fremont Street has done quite a bit of evolving in the last few years, including adding a zip line that sends you careening 67 feet above the throngs below. Kids under 18 can ride as long as they have parental (or grand-parental) permission.
Circus Circus Adventuredome -- Featuring rides with names like The Sling Shot and Canyon Blaster, the Adventuredome is a five-acre indoor theme park offering rides for kids of all ages, including those old enough to know better but too young at heart to care.
M&M's World -- This is exactly what it sounds like: One really big store where you can buy all things M&M. If you've got a few dollars to spend and grandkids to please, you've found the right place. Here in this four-story, 28,000-square-foot store, you can get everything from personalized M&Ms to desk lamps to hats. You name it, and they've probably got it.
Tournament of Kings -- Get yourself well fed and entertained in this one-of-a-kind, medieval-themed dinner show complete with warring armies, jousts, fireworks and dancing maidens. This is one of those attractions that you'll enjoy just as much as the young ones you bring along.
Silverton Hotel Aquarium -- Named the best free attraction in Las Vegas, the Silverton Hotel and Casino's 117,000-gallon aquarium is home to 4,000 fish, including stingrays and sharks. The fact that the Silverton is located a few miles from the Vegas Strip makes this a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of downtown and a great place to spend the afternoon with the grandkids.

Both major party presidential candidates have talked about the nation's health care system being broken. If so, what's the best way to fix it?
"We have to include the public in addressing these needs," said Roy Mitchell, director of the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program. "They deal with this on a daily basis."
Mitchell said he has spoken with Mississippians about changes they'd like to see to health care in the state.
"People are just totally frustrated with the current system and they have their own ideas about how we should address them," Mitchell said.
Mitchell says Mississippians want affordable health coverage, whether it be at the doctor's office or pharmacy.
Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama agree; they just have different ideas to get there.
Obama said he wants to increase enrollment in Medicaid and the children's health insurance program. McCain is proposing a $5,000 tax credit so families can buy their own coverage.
Over at the Mississippi Department of Health, state health officer Dr. Ed Thompson says he wants to see more money spent on preventative measures.
"Such as screening for diabetes, screening for hypertension or counseling and provision of services for smoking cessation," said Thompson. "Those are clinical preventative services and we need to see reimbursements for those."
Board of Health president and private practice physician, Dr. Mike Lampton agrees.
"There's no positive reimbursement or any sort of push to get physicians to be aggressive in managing preventative health measures," said Lampton. "That needs to be the focus of our health system."
The Mississippi Health Advocacy Program has scheduled five more meetings to talk with Mississippians about the state of health care in Mississippi.
The first one is on the University of Southern Mississippi campus. A list of meeting places and dates appears below, including a meeting Oct. 30 in Meridian. And if you can't make it to the meeting, officials will be taking comments on-line as well.

Kevin Clash, the man who made "Sesame Street's" favorite orange puppet famous, lost his job last year after being hit with accusations of having sex with underaged teen boys. Fans were left in the dark as to whether Elmo would ever return.

'FINDING DORY' IS ON THE WAY: Pixar is making a "Finding Nemo" sequel called "Finding Dory."
No. I'm not kidding. I would never kid about anything as serious as talking fish.
Ellen DeGeneres, who voiced the forgetful blue fish in the first film, tweeted "It's official," captioning a "Finding Dory" Instagram picture, according to E! News. She also told her talk show audience, "I'm excited that it's finally happening. I read the script and it's fantastic, it's hilarious, it's warm, it's everything that you want it to be."
A Disney-Pixar gold mine is what it will be.
The follow-up to the 2003 Oscar-winning hit will focus on DeGeneres' character, and will be directed by Nemo codirector Andrew Stanton.
"I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time," the 55-year-old DeGeneras said in a statement. "I'm not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating Toy Story 16. But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It's got a lot of heart, it's really funny, and the best part is -- it's got a lot more Dory."
According to Statton, the new story picks up about a year after the original ended, and will also include Nemo, Marlin and the Tank Gang.
E! said the film is set to hit theaters Nov. 25, 2015.
SO FREDDIE MERCURY AND PRINCESS DIANA WALK INTO A GAY BAR: According to a new book, the late Freddie Mercury snuck a disguised Princess Diana into a notorious gay bar in the late 1980s.
In "The Power of Positive Drinking," comedian Cleo Rocos wrote that she, TV star Kenny Everett and the Queen singer disguised Princess Diana as a male model so that she could sneak into the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in south London. Dressed in an army jacket, black cap and sunglasses, no one apparently realized it was her.
"When we walked in ... we felt she was obviously Princess Diana and would be discovered at any minute. But people just seemed to blank her. She sort of disappeared. But she loved it," Rocos says. She said the place was packed, but she, Mercury and Everett helped divert attention from Diana so that she could order drinks at the bar. The group left after about 20 minutes.
"She did look like a beautiful young man," Rocos said. "She was always a very fit girl, so they might have thought, 'There's a nice young man with pert buttocks.'"
Of course, the royals are known for having pert buttocks.
JUSTIN BIEBER GETS BANNED FROM CLUB: Justin Bieber has been banned from a club in Austria.
The Austrian Times reported that managers of The Passage club in Vienna, said the singer's bodyguards smashed fans' cameras and destroyed the cell phones of other patrons. "Justin Bieber is no longer welcome here," club manager Joachim Bankel told the paper.
Right. He's no longer welcome at my house, either.
Bieber's having quite a year. He may be looking at charges for a recent run-in with a neighbor that ended when Bieber allegedly spit in the man's face and threatened to kill him. That was after the man confronted Bieber for supposedly driving recklessly through his neighborhood.
The Austrian Times also reported that many frenzied fans at Bieber's recent sold-out concert at Vienna Stadthalle needed medical attention, including one who was hospitalized overnight as she was suffering from "hysteria."
Can we get him in trouble for that, too?
Apparently 178 fans were treated on-site under similar circumstances.
Bieber's people declined comment over the club incident.
MAGIC JOHNSON'S SON COMES OUT: Magic Johnson's 20-year-old son has come out of the closet.
Earvin Johnson III -- aka EJ -- is one of Johnson's three children. The NBA legend told TMZ "Cookie and I love EJ and support him in every way. We're very proud of him."
The website showed a picture of EJ and his boyfriend, walking down Sunset Boulevard hand-in-hand.
EJ told TMZ he's been "hoping and praying" for his dad's team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, which was taken over by his father and his business partners last year.
EJ is a student at NYU and is supposedly close to his parents. In August, Magic tweeted, "Thx to my son EJ for hosting me at NYU. Look forward to taking him to dinner tonight in the city."

1913: British suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst was sentenced to three years in jail for inciting supporters to bomb the home of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George. (Pankhurst, known for staging hunger strikes in prison, was repeatedly released and reincarcerated, serving roughly 30 days total behind bars.)
1936: Bruno Hauptmann was electrocuted in Trenton, N.J. for the kidnap-murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr.
1942: During World War II, Japanese forces began their final assault on Bataan against American and Filipino troops who surrendered six days later; the capitulation was followed by the notorious Bataan Death March.

1968: The day before he was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "mountaintop" speech to a rally of striking sanitation workers.
1973: The first handheld portable telephone was demonstrated for reporters on a New York City street corner as Motorola executive Martin Cooper contacted Joel S.

1974: Deadly tornadoes struck wide parts of the South and Midwest before jumping across the border into Canada; more than 300 fatalities resulted.
1996: An Air Force jetliner carrying Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and American business executives crashed in Croatia, killing all 35 people aboard.
2003: Moving with a sense of wartime urgency, the House and Senate separately agreed to give President George W. Bush nearly $80 billion to carry out the battle against Iraq and meet the threat of terrorism. Atlantic magazine editor Michael Kelly, 46, became the first American journalist to be killed while covering the Iraq war.

And heck we are favored against NYG So it makes sense that the simulation would view our average success on similar plays to the NFL as favorable so far in the year. It doesn't have a coach factor though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This post really puts me to shame Noah has always been a fussy eater, but just lately, after a couple of illnesses, he's even worse. Even food that he likes, he eats very little of. I can't understand it because he's such a big boy (in 2yr old clothes even though he's only 15 months). I don't know how he's growing because he barely eats a thing!

The cat is out of the bag and Kyocera indeed has in its repository the world's first non-luxury wallet-friendly sapphire glass toting smartphone. And just to show what it means when it says "tough", Kyocera has pushed two new YouTube videos that summarize the Brigadier's key rugged features as well as demonstrate the excruciatingly painful things you can do to this smartphone.
Who better to know what tough really means than tough man Bear Grylls himself. This British adventurer is best known for his Discovery Channel series "Man vs. Wild" and, according to him, the Brigadier is crazy tough. After all, it meets IP65/68 dust and waterproof ratings as well as the US military's MIL-STD 810G standard. But the Kyocera Brigadier has one special trait not found in its Kyocera brethren: a Sapphire Shield display that is tough enough to withstand anything less than a diamond.
[youtube zkKzY-7lz3k]
But if Grylls' word isn't enough to convince you, then maybe the battle scars, or lack of it, on the Brigadier will. The video below puts two Brigadiers, one with impact-resistant glass only and another with Sapphire Shield, to the ultimate torture test. Scratch or drop, the sapphire-clad Brigadier survives unscathed. This is practically the same torture video leaked before that hinted at Kyocera's next rugged smartphone, this time without the secrecy and with a clear Verizon branding.
[youtube g_7tVP5YHt0]
In all other aspects, the Kyocera Brigadier is a decent mid-range smartphone, carrying specs that match the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini or the HTC One mini 2. These include a 1.4 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, a 4.5-inch 720p display, 4G LTE support, and Android 4.4. Of course, with all its rugged features and especially Sapphire Shield, the Brigadier pretty much surpasses those. And only at $99.99 a month, $399.99 in full, available exclusively from Verizon.

Disney theme parks are ending a policy that allows disabled guests to get instant access to rides, instead of waiting in line.
This comes amid widespread reports that able-bodied guests were abusing the theme park's disability policy.
Currently, visitors can get a guest assistance card that gives them immediate access to rides, and allows them to enter through exit doors.
Disney now says starting Oct. 9, guests with a new disability access card will be issued a ticket with a time to enter an attraction, based on the current wait time, and they still won't have to stand in line.
Disney does not ask for proof of disability under either the current or new policies.

Berkeley UPC - Unified Parallel C
(A joint project of LBNL and UC Berkeley)
UPC Thrille
UPC Thrille is a tool for "Active Testing" of UPC applications. By observing shared memory accesses and synchronization behavior of a program, Thrille can detect potential concurrency bugs in UPC programs. Thrille will then re-execute the program while actively controlling the schedule of threads and try to reproduce the potential bugs and confirm their existence. In this current release, a data race detection and reproduction tool is included.
Latest News
May 14 2012 - New public release of Thrille to match Berkeley UPC 2.14.2 is
Oct 25 2011 -
the minor update for compatibility with Berkeley UPC 2.13.6.
Oct 21 2011 - New public release of Thrille is
Oct 19 2010 - Initial release of Thrille is
Downloading and Installing UPC Thrille
Download and unpack
Berkeley UPC
on your system. Instructions for downloading Berkeley UPC can be found
Download and unpack
. The default location for Thrille expected by Berkeley UPC is [path to berkeley_upc-x.y.z]/thrille. You can either create a symlink called 'thrille' to the directory you unpacked Thrille (thrille-x.y.z), or specify the path during configuration (see below).
Configure Berkeley UPC with Thrille support. Create a build directory (e.g. ~/upc/build), and run configure with option "--enable-thrille". Unless you added a symlink called 'thrille' in 'berkeley_upc-x.y.z' (or moved the thrille package there), you must also add the option "--with-thrille=[path to thrille-x.y.z]". You should specify the absolute path when using the "--with-thrille" option.
~/upc/build$ [path to berkeley_upc-x.y.z]/configure --enable-thrille --with-thrille=$HOME/upc/thrille-0.9.19 [additional options]
Build the Berkeley UPC runtime. In your build directory, run "make" and optionally "make install". If you have problems building the Berkeley UPC runtime, consult the
manual inside the BUPC package.
Test if your installation is correct. The Thrille package comes with some test programs. You can try the simple test program in thrille-x.y.z/tests/hello. Note: the program will have a race only when run with 4 or more threads.
thrille-0.9.19/tests/hello$ make (you may need to edit Makefile to change compiler flags, conduit etc.)
thrille-0.9.19/tests/hello$ upcrun -np 4 hello-racer (should report a potential data race and produce a file named upct.race.1)
thrille-0.9.19/tests/hello$ UPCT_RACE_ID=1 upcrun -np 4 hello-tester (should reproduce the race with a message "REAL RACE CONFIRMED")
thrille-0.9.19/tests/hello$ UPCT_RACE_ID=1 UPCR_RACE_RESOLVE_DIR=1 upcrun -np 4 hello-tester (should reproduce the race in the opposite order)
Running UPC Thrille
Compile your UPC program with Thrille enabled. You must specify a mode by adding "-thrille=[mode] (default:empty)" to the upcc compiler options if you want Thrille enabled in your program runs. Currently, the supported modes are {empty, racer, tester}.
Run your UPC program with Thrille race detection. After you compile your program with "-thrille=racer", run your program normally with upcrun. All potential races will be reported in separate upct.race.<num> files. If run on a distributed system, these files may also be dispersed among nodes.
Run your UPC program with Thrille race reproduction. After you compile your program with "-thrille=tester", select the race you would like to reproduce using the environment variable "UPCT_RACE_ID=<num>", and run your program normally using upcrun. The syntax for setting up environment variables depends on your shell. To change the order of resolving races, define the environment variable UPCT_RACE_RESOLVE_DIR=1. The default order (UPCT_RACE_RESOLVE_DIR=0) is to let the thread paused at the first statement of the race pair start first after the race is detected.
Version history
0.9.19 - Added compiler instrumentation for shared memory access using local pointers
0.9.18 - Upgraded tester for scalability
0.9.17b - Minor patch in upcr_lock.h to match newest Berkeley UPC runtime
0.9.17 - Bug fixes for racer and tester
0.9.16 - Reduced unnecessary memory allocations in racer
0.9.15 - Reduced unnecessary communication of probabilities in tester
0.9.14 - Reimplemented map for enhanced performance (needs confirmation)
0.9.13 - Changed pull-based communicated to push-based
0.9.12 - Implementation of exponential backoff on probability of considering memory access for data races
0.9.11 - Implementation of non-blocking transfers between threads at barrier boundary (marginal improvement in scalability)
0.9.10 - Reimplementation of skiplists for added efficiency (insignificant improvement)
0.9.9 - Added Communication/Computation stats options (programs must define certain variables and print them on their own)
0.9.8a - Testing phase uses local probability to avoid too much communication
0.9.8 - Removes all dynamic allocation of memory scattered in the code and uses recycled memory pools. The only malloc()s are to increase the size of a pool
0.9.7 - Turns off stats collection by default (compile with -DTHRILLE_STATS to enable)
0.9.6 - Updated mode_tester with exponential backoff
0.9.5 - Fixed memory leaks and allocation issues
Please send all bug reports and comments to
thrille-0.9.19 (latest version)

Findings for PPC in Peoria
Peoria Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Peoria was the 174th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of May 2016. Peoria also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Arizona, ranking as number 9th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 27% Lower in Peoria than Glendale
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Peoria are 27% lower than in Glendale. The average price of a click in Peoria is $9.89.
This price differential is expected however, as Glendale has a larger population than Peoria.
For better comparison of prices, we also compared prices with another city with a similar population, Pembroke Pines, and found the average price of a click in Peoria was 6% lower than in Pembroke Pines.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

NEWINGTON — This week's frigid temperatures forced the state Department of Transportation to delay work on the Spaulding Turnpike widening project near Exit 3.
DOT officials said the scheduled Exit 3 daytime closures will now begin Feb. 3 and will continue through Feb. 14. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the affected Monday through Friday periods, southbound motorists seeking to get off at Exit 3 to Woodbury Avenue will be directed to Exit 1. The timing of the traffic signal at the Gosling Road and Woodbury Avenue intersection will be adjusted to account for the additional traffic volumes on Gosling Road.
The Exit 3 ramp will reopen each evening after work hours and will be open all day on weekends.
The ramp closure will allow for the removal and transfer of pavement from the bypassed closed section of the Spaulding Turnpike between exits 3 and 1.

"Remember we love you and can't wait to see you tomorrow. Goodbye," Darlene Hill says to her daughter, Sandi Sheldon, on the phone. The next time Hill speaks to her daughter, she'll be home.
That's unbelievable to this family, who didn't know when or if their daughter and her new adopted baby from China would come home.
"You don't want to hope too much, but you want to have faith," explains Hill.
And faith is exactly what they needed for this bittersweet situation.
After trying unsuccessfully for 20 years to have children, Sandi had gone to China with her husband Dennis to adopt baby Hannah.
Just days after that precious adoption was final, Dennis died unexpectedly in China.
The U.S. government told Sandi her family status had changed and the adoption-- in their eyes-- was no longer final.
"It's so unreal, they wanted all those years to have a baby," Hill says. "Then he was with her just a week and then to have the baby almost taken away, too..."
Congressman Mike Rogers talked with the U.S. Consulate in China to make sure that didn't happen, and in the wee hours of Friday morning, Sandi's family finally heard the words they'd been praying to hear.
"'I'm coming home!'" Hill recalls. "I screamed."
But knowing Dennis isn't coming home hurts.
"You gotta take the good with the bad."
And the good comes in the form of a new baby, who'll carry on Dennis' legacy.
"We'd call it special," Hill says. "She was meant to be."
Sandi Sheldon and baby Hannah will be home Saturday afternoon.

Trombonist Natalie Cressman was just 18 when she began playing with Trey Anastasio, the guitarist and singer from the band Phish. At the same time she was starting jazz studies at the Manhattan School of Music, juggling classes with touring -- music theory at 8 a.m. after a late night onstage with a world-famous jam band.
San Francisco-bred Cressman, who performs with her own band Sunday at the San Jose Jazz Festival, has learned a lot about connecting the dots between jazz, funk, rock and more from Anastasio, and she applies a similar strategy to her own music.
"I really like finding that fine line between genres," she says. "That's where I'm most comfortable, and it's not that I'm trying not to play jazz. It's just that I like weaving styles together ... joining musical worlds."
Now 22, Cressman -- also a singer and songwriter -- springs from an impressive line of musical DNA. Mother Sandy Cressman is a well-known Brazilian-jazz vocalist; father Jeff Cressman is a recording engineer and trombonist, a longtime member of Carlos Santana's band.
Natalie, who recently played New York's Apollo Theater with Wycliffe Gordon, a superstar of jazz trombone, has released a new album mixed by her father, "Turn the Sea."
Anastasio has called her "an incredible player." Multi-instrumentalist/composer Peter Apfelbaum, a veteran genre-blender in whose band Cressman performs, says, "She just gets better every year, and she's amazingly versatile -- one of those musicians who's confident working in all kinds of styles."
Trained as a straight-ahead jazz player -- while in high school at Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts, she made pretty much all the regional and statewide all-star groups -- she extended her listening in New York to indie singers and bands, including St. Vincent and Dirty Projectors, while focusing on her own songwriting and production. Her new album is what she calls "indie jazz" -- creative improvisation meets pop soundscapes and electronically enhanced vocals.
Cressman has been "immersed in music" from the time she was born, and even before. Sandy Cressman performed throughout her pregnancy with Natalie; her water broke shortly after a performance with a salsa band.
Natalie remembers cozy family evenings at home while growing up, watching "Black Orpheus," the classic Brazilian film with music by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfá. It helped form the soundtrack of her childhood, along with Brazilian singer Elis Regina and Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon (—'Graceland' was a big one"), the jazz fusion band Weather Report, trumpeter Miles Davis ("Kind of Blue") and pianist Thelonious Monk.
She recalls tagging along to her parents' gigs. (One popular family anecdote has her falling asleep inside a bass violin case during a show on Treasure Island.) When Natalie was about 9, her father joined Santana's band: "So I'd bring my little friends to Shoreline, and we'd get to hang out backstage," she says.
She studied trombone at summer camps, moving up through the ranks at the Stanford Jazz Workshop's annual programs, for which she has been a faculty member. Mentored as a teen by the Bay Area's top trombonists -- Wayne Wallace, Marty Wehner, Mal Sharpe, her dad and others -- she began getting calls from Apfelbaum and percussionist Pete Escovedo.
"She started to scare me," jokes her father.
When Natalie was 18 and ready to move to New York, Jeff Cressman decided to give up his trombone spot in the Trey Anastasio Band -- and recommended his daughter as the replacement. She auditioned and won the gig, but wasn't always comfortable in her early days on the road.
"I was kind of shy, and even though I felt I was pretty well equipped to take the job," she says, "I wasn't sure how to handle myself, and I felt like I was coming across onstage as weaker and meeker than I would be if I were just playing with my friends in a practice room."
Mean-spirited bloggers didn't help; they wrote about her as if she were "fresh meat."
She stuck with it, finding there could be "a lightness to playing music" even in a pressured situation. Still performing with Anastasio, she notes that "there are so many ways to play one line of music. In Trey's band, when I'm singing, I'm blending with two or three other voices all the time, and I'm making constant adjustments to match without sticking out."
She tries to bring that same "microscopic awareness" to her own music. Her studies at the Manhattan School of Music grounded her in jazz but also included classes in orchestral arranging and East Indian ensemble playing. She graduated last spring. Now based in New York, she is beginning to explore electronic music and spending ever more time with her songs and lyrics as well as putting in the requisite hours on trombone. She recently bought a ukulele, so she can "write songs on the go."
Cressman makes "the music her muse is telling her to make," her father says. "No one has put her in a box yet. She is free to define what really rocks her world musically. With her experience and talent, there's going to be a unique sound offered to us. Who knows where it will lead?"

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "2009 Fall Tour."
Set 2: PYITE opener was tight. Tweezr thru Possum rocked. Slave was, as always, a perfect Slave. Figuring that was the set, then YEM!! Holy horshit batman! Trampolines and all, Mike and Fish throwing down towards the end there....sooo cool.
Encore: Joys a good song and hearing that made me think some thing else before the Tweeprise. Low and behold the Golgi which made the Tweeprise all that much more worth the wait.
All in all a good show. Can't wait to see what they do tonight.
There was not a bad song the whole night, but the highlight of the night was definitely Fluffhead, followed by Tweezer, Possum, and YEM. Those alone were worth the price of admission. Moma Dance was super funky too.
Thank you guys so much. I really needed that. Only regret is that I couldnt make it to the 2nd show.
Scoreboard in middle of the arena kept coming on randomly throughout the second set, and during Light it actually came on for about 2 or 3 minutes, adding a pretty funny coincidence to the show.
ThE rOcKInG MiLLeNIuM - 10/10 f**K yEaH-Thanks Hotel People for being SOOOO chill,-I didnt even have a room!!
Set 1: Solid- chalkdust good not great, and moma and divided lit the fuse for an un-expected ALASKA to blow me away. Not like I have 100 Alaska's to compare to but it rocked. To me, Fast enough was as great but lacking terms like "Ever" or Amazing". It felt like the pleasantly blissful calm before the storm, because the elastic, jiboo-fluff was a home run, not a grand slam but a dinger just the same.
Set 2: Punch, spotty but good. Tweezer put me instantly back in "happy place. Light, lit me up for a jamming bucket into Possum. Now Slave was weird for me. Specifically where my best bro were sitting and where I was sitting. I heard audio/sound issue on Gordo and something just didn't work for me but after consulting with about 10 different pairs of ears in my crew, some thought it rocked and some agreed with me, not so good - really think the dropped a whole side of speakers???/or something... YEM, was well YEM- I feel guilty for that comment but it is what it is.
Encore: Joy was strong, I am keeping such an open mind and giving the boys all my attention on the new stuff and it all starting to grow on me. Goligi was strong and had confident sound in it which the led to the uplifting, revival wonderment that reprize gives me when I am walking out, even though its usually for the night.
Overall Maybe a 7.5 that a cool teacher would grade a B- to make your parents in grade school happy!!!!
When the boys came out the crowd was ecstatic, I had seen megadeth in this arena a year prior and there weren't half as many people as when phish came! The environment was so intense and electrifying I was so pleased to be there. I came alone but it didn't take me long to hook up with some awesome people.
When the boys came on stage the mood was intense when Trey cut in with Chalkdust the place went INSANE. I mean I cant even describe it. Chalkdust was tight, and then the next song couldnt have been picked better. When Moma started the funk was through the rooof, everybody was getting down and they played it excellently it is my favorite Moma by far. Divided sky was stellar! During the pause the crowd got so loud I thought my ears were going to explode. Not to mention it was a siiick divided sky. Water in the sky was performed greatly and it kept the mood up while the band set a slower tempo (although it was still fast!). Fast enough for you was great very powerful. TTE was great but god it was sooooo long.
Jibbo was excellent and it was one of the songs I was hoping to hear. Fluffhead was great as expected. PYITE another great one, just a little sloppy.
The highlight of the show I must say was Light -> rest of show. Light was so sick! and now its one of my favorite songs. Back on the train is my favorite phish tune and at the end of light when Page started fading in with the begining of GBOTT I was ectastic! Possum was spiritual! I had a favorite version of this song I watched many times on youtube and I felt like I was in the video I was so happy at this point - still everybody was groovin and getting down the whole place was insane! The event staff had never seen anything like it before! Neither had I!
SLAVE! It was awesome! One of the best Ive ever heard.
YEM was spectacular! And at this point they had played almost all of my favorites and YEM was just the cherry on top. Fishman did a sick little jam halfway through and the vocal jam was awesome.
Joy was boring - sorry.
Golg was decent and Tweeprise was a perfect end to the night.
set 1:
chalk dust torture: solid opener. trey sounded sharp as did the rest of the band.
the moma dance: i like to hear the funky early. this version was no thrills. really quick dip into the moma dance
the divided sky: good solid version. nothing out of the ordinary... just a good 'ol divided sky
alaska: i like this song, and it sounds like it got a lot better between summer and fall. trey had my favorite solo of the set in this song. good take, and i can't wait to see what they do with it in the future.
water in the sky: nice quick run through this one.
fefy: not a huge fan of this one. i liked it better as a rarity.
time turns elastic: double downer. this song does not do it for me. playing it two spots away from fluffhead really accentuates how dull it is. there are a few parts that i like, but all in all, there's not much going on here, imo.
jibboo: after some sleeper music, i was happy to hear jibboo come about. this was a nice first set version that found its way into...
fluff head: can't get enough of the revitalized fluff head! like the one i saw at deer creek over the summer, this one had a few flubs, but it still brought the house down. good energy, good set closer.
set 2
punch: this one had a few flubs too, but they brought some good energy into this version, and it got the crowd ready to rock.
tweezer: i really liked this one coming hot on the heels of punch. trey was sounding really good on this one, as did page. good exploration that found its way into...
light: i really don't like this song, but i really like what they do with the light jam. the music coming out of the back section was electric. as this jam progressed, fishman found a very cool little beat which they eventually wielded into...
gbott: this train was a tweeked a bit, much to our delight. they really gave this one a fresh face. after seeing it sooooooo many times in 99/00, i was happy to hear them breathe some new life in this tune. they also tacked on a very cool little funk/country jam on the back that eventually came squealing into...
possum: trey came out gun's blazing on this possum. right off the bat he's squealing. he steers this shape and they really bring the house down.
slave to the traffic light: this slave worked well coming out of that hot tweezer-possum sequence, but all in all, it was not the best version i have heard. it lacked a bit of pizz-zazz. it was still a good solid version... i'll take a half ass slave over the greatest caspian or bug ever played!
yem: they got back on track with this one. nothing completely out of the ordinary, just another great yem!
joy: this one doesnt do much for me
golgi: ditto
tweeprise: i like tweeprise, but you know, this encore was missable.
the first set was pretty standard until alaska, then they starting slumping again before ending it strong. the second set brought some really sharp playing. it was some of the best segues i had seen/heard in '09. all in all though, i do not think that anything these songs really hot monnster peaks, but still they offered up a set with excellent flow and good songs.
set 1:
alaska, jibboo>fluff head
set 2:
the real highlight of this show is the fun, funk-pocket of Back on the Train > Possum. Good 'ol Phish going on right there in your face!
and that one dude said it right. TWEEZER REPRISE is the balls-out rock most bands wish they could write. and Phish kills it these days! MONSTER!
Set I
Chalk Dust Torture (7:38): Can't say I was expecting this one. I had told my friend and a couple people that were next to me that Tube was going to open for sure. I'm glad I got to see this one though, despite the fact that it's pretty typical.
Moma Dance (7:26): I absolutely LOVE this one. I was glad that it got such an early placement too (easier to convince my mom that Phish are actually good). They didn't really jam on it that much though. Despite that, it was still a fun song to hear.
Divided Sky (16:35): Good god. I can't say enough about this song. This is what first got me into Phish. Excellently executed.
Alaska (10:04): I hadn't heard this one prior to this show. I can't say I really dug it. It just sounds too much like Tennessee Jed to me. Sorry.
Water in the Sky (3:07): Typical song. Good, but nothing that I NEED to hear again in any future shows.
Fast Enough For You (7:37): It's a pretty song but, it's just too slow for me.
Time Turns Elastic (17:26 freakin' minutes): I'm sorry but this is a set killer. Maybe if it was half of it's length. It just drags on for way too long. It's one saving grace is it's ending section. I'd be happy if I never heard this song again.
Gotta Jibboo (10:59): YES. Gotta Jibboo could save and revive a whole set of TTE's. I'm really impressed with Trey's solo and how no matter what- Mike kept the bass going.
Fluffhead (15:25): Now we're getting somewhere. Fluffhead is the "epic" song. Pay attention TTE. Unfortunately after Fluffhead, Phish took their break. Saving their energy perhaps?
Set as a whole: I'd say this set was about a B-. Fluff, Divided and Gotta Jibboo were the reasons for such a high grade. Without them it'd be a C at best.
Set II
Punch You In The Eye (8:36): A friend of mine absolutely loves this song. I never saw why until I heard it live. It just breathes energy. It's one of the few Phish songs that is completely unrelenting.
Tweezer (15:07): Once this dropped, I knew we were in for some crazy jamming. I never stopped dancing to this one, and I never dance. At around 5:30 (after the composed section), Page and Mike interplayed a dark, dank atmosphere which didn't let up till about 10 minutes in. After a short Page solo, the darkness returned with a vengeance. Trey had a killer solo, but my eyes were affixed on Pages wonderful rhythmic chord playing. At about 13:35, the wookie next to me leaned over and said: "This is when things get strange.". He was right. Phish took us on a short ambient jam, which I loved. Before dipping right into.......
Light (7:41): I thought this was one of the best segues of 09. I didn't expect Light to emerge from Tweezer, although it made sense thematically. This Light was anthemic and featured some odd sounds coming from Page. Trey took a little extended solo before he and the rest of the band got funky. Then, it was time for Mike and Fishman to lead us right to Back on the Train.
Back on the Train (5:45): A wonderful little shuffle song that I'd never have expected coming from Light. Fishman was in peak form this entire song. This song is always groovy and is possibly one of my favorites to dance too. After a really short (a minute at most) jam, the boys lead us right into Possum.
Possum (9:36): WOW. I can't believe that Phish don't do this more often. A BOTT>Possum makes perfect sense. I'm pretty sure Fishman just kept the same beat from BOTT going most of the time. I love it when Mike sings, so I love this song. This was the ending song in a wonderful little suite.
Slave To The Traffic Light (9:35): This is the song I always play newbies. It's a mind-blowing song that isn't too long, but not too short either. The band hits one of those moments where you realize that they are the best thing you could possibly hear at about 7 minutes in. The big surprise (and personal highlight) of the set came next though.
YEM (21:20): I thought I was the luckiest person alive. I got to hear YEM at my first show. And not, just YEM- but possibly one of the best YEM's I've ever heard. After a wonderfully played composed section, me and my new wookie friend turned to each other and yelled the BMGS section. I then spent most of my time dancing to some of the funkiest Phish I've ever heard. Page has a wonderful solo that comes up before the rest of the bands. Then it's on to a little rhythm section jam with Page leading the fray. Then, it's time for Trey to join in on the fun. Trey first starts just as backup, as Fishman starts banging out what would become a theme for the rest of the song. Right after that, it's Mike's time to shine. Mike lets out a wonderfully funky solo. Then Trey repeats the rhythm that Fishman started. It takes a little while for the rest of the band to catch on (check out the interplay between Mike and Page though) but once they do, Trey takes a little detour. Trey plays a hispanic, jazz solo that lasts about 2 minutes before returning to Fishmans theme. Mike then takes the lead on a solo that had some wonderfully low Mike Bombs. Then Trey takes control of the wheel again and starts playing the theme again. This lasts a good 2 minutes before it sounds like they're about ready to stop. But, wait! More Mike Bombs follow before a wonderful little section with the rest of the band playing the theme. Then it's buildup time again before the vocal jam. This vocal jam echoes the theme from the jam perfectly before building up to some craziness and screaming. The jam ends with someone (Fishman, maybe?) kissing the microphone. A minute later, and the best 20 minutes of Phish I would ever hear is over.
Joy (5:20): Sorry mom. I know this is your favorite song that they did, but it doesn't do it for me. I took a break and recouped after the killer YEM during this one.
Golgi (4:34): A fun song. This always vaguely reminds me of Frank Zappa. It's a great sing-a-long, even though it doesn't really do that much.
Tweezereprise (4:03): You'd be a fool if you couldn't see this one coming. Some nice Page action before the whole band joins in. They do their thing and then it's done.
Set as a whole: I'd say this set was an A. The YEM deserves an A+ though.
Show as a whole: The two sets combined even out and give this show an A-. Highlights: Tweezer, Possum, YEM. Lowlights: Alaska, TTE.
Afterwards at our hotel I remember everyone was so pumped up about the show..talking about the songs we saw, the awesome jams, etc. My brother said to us, "Man you guys got lucky...that one was a scorcher." And that was how I broke into the scene. Night 2 wasn't as memorable for me, just cause I had done it once already. When I got home and learned you could download the show from LivePhish I was even more ecstatic. I listened to this show countless times in the following months. Needless to say, seeing The Phish live got me hooked for real.
