Jonathan's - Ogunquit
Online Reservations
Everything was as great as it had been the week before. Enough of a variety in the menu and specials (especially the chicken/shrimp gumbo) to allow for frequent dining. There policy of 105 off if you dine a second time within 10 days is a nice touch but the food is the main reason for returning. The servce was great bot times, this time with Adam and Greg and the hostess was very friendly as well as professional
We were very impressed with the overall experience at Johnathan's! The host was cordial, the waitresses were friendly, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was a delight and the price is very reasonable. It's a great dinning find in Ogunquit. We highly recommend it.
Jonathan's is a bit expensive but their food and service make it worth it! I ordered the Filet Mignon and it was cooked perfectly. My wife had the Maine seafood dish & loved it. My twin girls had the Mac & Cheese which turned out to be Kraft ... that was the only disappointment at over $5 + for each Kraft Mac & Cheese dish ... however, we didn't have to pay for the kids meals because they were free with out entrees because we ate before 6PM. We had reserved a table and the hostess had read my message about our young girls and they went out of their way to pick a table near the aquarium for my children. The ambiance was great for a date or family dinner. I would definitely dine their again.
The restaurant was beautiful The waiter was friendly took our order and never saw her again. Was not impressed with the food and the prices were hogh
My sister and I sent our parents there for their 32nd anniversary. Because I told the staff in advance, my 'rents were given a special champagne toast and they said the service was exceptional. They even helped me to handle a small blip with my credit card. Amazing place. Would recommend to absolutely anyone who finds themselves this far north.
Thank you for booking Leon Redbone annually. We are great fans. We also recently enjoyed Rob and Linda Williams so you can identify our age group. The food is as always excellent, we may have had the second team for servers as far as helpfulness but it was satisfactory and it is late in the season. The ambiance is excellent any season.
Not only was the food outstanding and the service impeccable but the view to the garden, the fresh from the garden food, the sculptures lovely...sigh...a wonderful place!
We were at Jonathan's for our honeymoon dinner. Our waitress was fantastic and the food was very good.
Exceptional food and wine selections in an elegant setting. The last stop on our Maine trip after staying at Samoset and Bar Harbor. High quality in a pristine setting for the discriminating traveler.
Great food and service. Best restaurant in ogunquit. We are going back again!
As locals we always take our "guests" to jonathans for atmosphere, menu selections and especially service! Thanks Jen and Larry et el;)
First time at Jonathan's after being recommend by a friend. The choices were so good we will have to return to try something else. 5 stars for everything. We arrived early so as to attend a show down the street, we did make a reservation but that evening it probably didn't need to be done. Our dinner from start to finish lasted about 1.5 hours which was perfect.
My wife and I had dinner here to celebrate our 10th anniversary because this is where we ate after we were married on Marginal Way. The food was outstanding and very delicious. We were even treated to a "rouge bouche" from the Chef which was very palate pleasing. Both waitresses were quick to accommodate my wifes gluten allergy when serving us both, and in assisting in decision making for dinner. I would not hesitate to visit Jonathans each time we visit Ogunquit.
We arrived for dinner 10 minutes early and they seated us immediately. Food was excelllant and all thogh the show up stairs was quite croded we certainly did enjoy the show. The only negative was that the seats that are listed on the web sites are thhere.I reserve two seats, After they sold out it seemed like another 4-5 tables were added to the front row ,the second row and so on ...I was, on severak occasions unable to leave my table and I wondered just what jonnathans would have to say to a fire marshall had one walked in . the aisles were non existant, and it was nearly immpossible to go to the bathroooms or to getour coffee ot even move .. I didn't count the tables depicted on the website but it is clearly a joke.
Jonathan's is the perfect spot for a great night out. Dinner and service was great. Loved the chef's gift from the kitchen. Definitely visit again for a delicious steak!
Great dining experience. Had not been to Jonathan's in a few years, but it is still the same great place to eat. Hope to get back there again soon.
We had tickets for West Side Story at the Ogunquit Playhouse, which is practically next door to Jonathan's. given our arrival time, our waitress was very careful to get us out in time, while serving us delicious entrees coupled with very generous glasses of wine. My only problem with the restaurant is the signage getting to it. Since Jonathan's is also a music venue, they have an overflow parking lot north of the restaurant on route 1 which makes it seem like you are there, when you are a half mile away with no additional signs. To get to the restaurant you need to know to take the next left, and park in their lot and then know which stairs actually lead to the restaurant. Now I know it, but it is a problem the first or second time.
The food was outstanding, service was great - a wonderful evening with friends.
Heirloom Tomatoes from the Chef's garden made my Mozzarella and Tomato Salad memorable. Service was excellent and the Caesar salad my husband ordered was prepared at the table. The Swordfish Francaise was delicious and the live jazz band playing in the background made for a fabulous evening. I'll be back....
A hot spot in Ogunquit. Food was great,lobsters cooked to perfection. Very nice menu with many different choices for everyone. The service was mixed,we had 2 serverers? One seemed to be the head waitress, but her helper was much more on the ball and saw to all our needs.
Jonathan's is a not to be missed dining spot for anyone in Ogunquit. Great food and great service lead to an excellent dining experience. We never miss an opportunity to dine there when are around the area.
Jonathan's has been around for a long time. The food is great as is the service. It isn't trendy more classic. Very very good.
This is our second year of spending our anniversary with you folks. Your hostess mentioned our anniversary when she sat us and congratulated us. We also were given a nice window seat. She later took a picture of us for a keep-sake. She made us feel right at home as soon as we walked in the door. The food was wonderful... I had Lobster and my husband the prime rib. And love the jazz that was playing. We'll be back. Thank you,
The food was amazing. The wait staff was outstanding. They were able to handle a large group of 13 and every patron was more than pleased with the food and service. We even had our own private alcove.
Tried the Jaeger Schnitzel and Salmon - absolutely delicious! Great staff! Can't wait to go back!
First time for the 6 of us. Had a reservation and were seated right away. Nice atmosphere, live music(a little loud at times), great food, service was great. We were seeing a show and were very prompt with our order. Everyone had a great experience and I got the kuddos because it was my suggestion! ha! We will be back!
We went to Jonathan's on a package plan that featured the band Peter Wolfe. We arrived at six and were seated promptly. Our server was prompt and efficient. This young lady was hopping as she was serving the band in a side room and many tables in the dining room. Even though she was very busy, she always had a smile. The food was excellent and nicely prepared. We enjoyed the show in an upstairs room where we had desert and coffee before the show. This room was extremely crowded and moving around was discouraged during the show because of the seating. We go to Maine several times a year and will make sure to check the happening's at Jonathan's and make it a stop on our trip for sure.
The food was excellent. I'm from CT and found the restaurant on-line. It meets and surpasses all the reviews. If you're up in Ogunquit, ME, you have to go there.
Yet again a dependable dining experience on my visits to the area
This was our 1st visit to Jonathan's for dinner and comedy show/birthday celebration and we had a wonderful time. All personnel were terrific, even the valet parking personnel we're so friendly and helpful, even tho we traveled in a limo so we could all have fun and not worry about driving. We'll be back, and highly recommend to all.
Jonathan's menu is specialized, tempting and affordable! The sample of Gazpacho soup was a pleasant surprise. A great restaurant for that special occasion!
The service, atmosphere, and food were great. We loved the dining room with windows to an unconventional backyard.
We were on a romantic getaway trip and the hotel next door recommended Jonathan's. The restaurant is quite lovely and segmented into several rooms each of which is unique. We sat in the garden room with a nice view. Thee two servers assigned to us did a great job. We felt the value for the the food and wine were very good. The wine list includes many South American varieties which offer great value for above average wines. If you want Kendall Jackson, they have that too. We had raw oysters and the french onion soup as appetizers, a nice mixed salad and my boyfriend had the ribeye and I had one of the daily specials. The portions are plentiful but the quality was very good. We will definitely return on our next trip to the area.
Our first trip to this restaurant and so glad we booked a table. Caesar salad prepared table side was a real treat. Lobster bisque was excellent. Steak prepared perfectly. Loved it!
This is the perfect place for someone who appreciates gourmet food as well as artistic presentation. The salmon was amazing!
The food was fantastic...2 of the people in our group ordered what they thought was going to be more like a seafood stew, however it was more of a sauce. That was fantastic and didn't matter that it was more of a sauce. The only complaint was that they both thought it would be best if it had been served over some sort of pasta so that it would be more filling. So good but not all that filling. The other 2 people in our party had the ribeyes and that was fantastic! I have been here in 3 occasions and the food has been great each and every time.
I've visited Jonathan's the past two years, with my Mom, on Columbus Day week-end. We have been more than pleased with our experience both years and will continue to visit each year when we return to the area. The dinner options are varied, inventive and generously portioned, as well as very flavorful. Service was very congenial and professional even though the restaurant has been very busy on the Saturday evenings we've dined. Jonathan's has quickly become our favorite place to eat in Maine !
Jonathan's has a nice menu with many choices. The decor is attractive. The wait staff are exceptionally professional and friendly in a good way. This is an older place, with older decor -- well-maintained -- and old school menu choices. There is no kale or anything artisanal. The food is straight forward, unpretentious and well prepared.
Greeting was welcoming. Initial server was nice and attentive. Wait person was helpful and answered questions about several dishes which we were contemplating. Soup (clam chowder} was delicious. included a generous helping of clams and piping hot (often not the case at restaurants we have patronized. Entrees were also served piping hot, simultaneously and were both excellent. Would return without hesitation.
My date and I shared oysters rockefeller which were really good. The restaurant was out of her first menu choice and she had scallops while I had baked salmon. Both were excellent choices - not too heavy. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. It was Saturday night and the place was a bit loud but enjoyable nonetheless. All in all, a great night out and value for money.
Our reservation requested one of their smaller, more quiet rooms, which was lovely. The staff was very friendly and also very accommodating to my husband's dietary need of no salt. Our entrees, salmon and swordfish, were cooked as requested and delicious. While the onion soup tasted very good, I would have preferred a bit more broth, as mine had a lot of bread and cheese, and very little onion or broth. Jonathan's Garden Salad, which claimed to have mixed greens, sadly only had iceberg lettuce. The apple crisp, which we shared, was very tasty and extremely generous. Over all, it was a nice dinner and will return to Jonathan's.
This popular restaurant has a nice bar area, and great dining rooms nicely appointed and lighted. Views of the outside gardens make the atmosphere quite pleasant. There is a very respectful wine list and the menu is extensive with daily specials as well. The service is always prompt and courteous. The noise level can be a little high as it was when we were there this last time. The piano was about right but when the saxophone played it was almost a racket and unnerving. Conversations were loud and I found it too be distracting. It is becoming an issue with me as I find diners using their "outside" voices in dining rooms lately. All in all, I certainly will visit Jonathan's again when I am in that area of Maine.
This was my first visit to Jonathan's in Ogunquit to meet friends for dinner and concert. Reception greeter was courteous, and charming with a genuine concern for my comfort and table placement which was near the piano bar. Waitor was totally accommodating, and commented that my choice of entree was truly on target for a great choice...the vegetarian dish preceeded by the marinated mussels and a nice cold black beer! Thank you everyone for a memorable evening.
Always great food, and amazing shows upstairs. A perfect date night!
We have been to Jonathan's in the past and really enjoyed the food. From soup to dessert it was delicious. I had the Baked Haddock which was baked to perfection with a scallop and shrimp topping. My husband had the steak smothered in mushroom sauce. We went there for breakfast the next morning and had the omelets with fried potatoes. They gave out samples of these delicious muffins with home made jelly too. We love going there also because upstairs they have entertainment at night. I highly suggest trying Jonathan's if you are in the Ogunquit area.
Jonathans serves the freshest foods and the best Maine seafood. When available produce comes from Jonathans garden......Love those home grown tomatoes. The best restaurant outside of Boston fit for Foodies.
I was still thinking about the meal 4 days later ,it was that good !!
There are few venues available for Thanksgiving Dinner in this area. Booking was simple (through Open Table) and the online menu was very accurate. The reservation led to a relaxing experience. It was not overrun with crowds and was, surprisingly, only at 85% capacity. You couldn't ask for nicer and more responsive staff. Special dietary requests for one of the party (adjustments to the items) was not an issue. All orders are taken on hand held tablets and it obviously works well. Very tasty complimentary items were provided. The house garden salad has a great light dressing. The entrees are very high quality home style meals. Reminds me of grandma. Highly recommended. Would be great for summer theater goers. Enjoy.
The food rating would have been 5 stars except that the roasted lamb was fatty and tough. All other food items (roasted turkey, rib-eye steak, crusted salmon) were terrific! Appetizers, salads, canned pickles, and desserts were yummy. Kudos for the service and ambience, tastefully done for the holidays. We will go again, soon!
My husband is a wonderful cook, therefore we rarely go out to dinner. It's depressing to spend money at a restaurant after eating the meal, when you could have had something better at home. However, this restaurant lives up to my husbands cooking, so I don't mind coming to Jonathan's for dinner. From Ogunquit Maine to as far as Newburyport Ma, Jonathan's restaurant is the best to be had. I highly recommend the veal dishes!

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
March 21, 2009 Ice Actions Bill Guerin moves into The Igloo
by Andrew Rothstein
We last left off with the Edmonton Oilers finding themselves in the midst of a three team deal that included the likes of Patrick O�Sullivan, Ales Kotalik, Erik Cole and Justin Williams. In this third trade deadline installment, we look back at a move that made Bill Guerin the center of attention. The Islanders, struggling for a future, dealt one of the most talented players on their roster for a 2009 conditional draft pick that could hopefully become a productive Islander one day. For the Penguins, Guerin added depth to the right wing position. He was an addition that Pittsburgh GM Ray Shero believed could propel the Penguins into the Stanley Cup finals.
New York Islanders
Acquired a conditional 2009 draft pick in exchange for RW Bill Guerin. [3/4]
"You�re either rebuilding for something special, or you�re on the verge of something special. To be in between is foolish.� � Billy Beane
With the worst record in the NHL, it was apparent that the Islanders weren�t thinking of retaining the services of Bill Guerin. For a team in such dire straits, the sensible move was to begin to stockpile draft picks. A more radical move, and arguably just as necessary, would be to move all of their non-prospect or early twenties players for a combination of prospects and draft picks. This includes moving one of the Islanders greatest signings of the past decade: defenseman (and forward) Mark Streit. While Mark put up good numbers in the Swiss-A league and continues to do so in the NHL, at age 31, his value will never be as high as it is now. Of course, New York should not think about moving him if the price is not right. There are other players that could bring in good value as well, such as Doug Weight. Weight has posted a + 2.7 GVT along with a + 3.4 Corsi rating, which isn�t bad for a team with a -42 Even Strength, ES, differential. Unfortunately, Weight becomes an unrestricted free agent (UFA) at the end of the season. It's hard to imagine a rebuilding team signing Weight for next year and beyond. Along with Weight, UFA's Dean McAmmond and Mike Sillinger will most likely depart. The Islanders have some restricted free agents (RFA's) that they should consider bringing back in Blake Corneau, Jeremy Colliton, Trevor Smith and possibly Jack Hillen.
Unfortunately, hockey teams cannot operate precisely as baseball teams can. Post-peak, valuable players can be dealt for draft picks, as long as the selling team does not fall below the salary floor. Unlike baseball, hockey has a salary floor and a salary cap. Teams cannot spend above $56.7 million nor dip below $40.3 million, with bonuses for players over the age of 35 counting towards the cap as according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. By signing veterans such as Weight to deals that included bonuses, the Islanders were able to remain above the salary floor for the 2008-2009 season. What might be even more disturbing is that if Doug Weight fails to reach bonus incentives, the Islanders keep the bonus money and it doesn�t even count towards the cap. Another oddity is that long-term injuries do not count against the floor nor cap in hockey. There exists the possibility that a team could manipulate injury information in order to either stay below the salary cap or above the salary floor. Let�s just hope Bill Belichick doesn�t get his hands on a hockey team in the near future. The Islanders this year could potentially fall below the salary floor, while complying with the rules of the CBA. New York can at least take away a 25 % chance, the lottery odds for the 30th ranked team, of receiving the number one selection in the NHL Entry Draft this June. For New York, a talented first overall pick might not be enough to end the rumors of a move to Kansas City. That would be a sad day for the NHL team of the 1980s.
On a positive note, there is some hope for the Islanders aside from a potential first overall draft pick. Center Joshua Bailey has superstar potential. The 19 year old put up 96 Points in 67 Games for an astonishing 1.43 Points Per Game in his first draft eligible year in the Ontario Hockey League. He is the type of player New York could rebuild around. There are also decent UFA's that could help shore up the Islander's defense for next year, such as Ossi Vaananen and Mike Komisarek. For the offense, Alexandre Giroux would certainly be a cheap gamble.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Acquired RW Bill Guerin from the New York Islanders in exchange for a conditional 2009 draft pick. [3/4]
Bill Guerin has seemingly been in hockey for eternity. The three-time U.S. Olympian has played in over 1,000 games, which lands him among a group of 214 of the most durable players ever to play the sport. The 6�2��, 220 lb. right winger, who was awarded a 2 year, $9 million contract by the Islanders, will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Pittsburgh only is required to pay a prorated portion of his salary, meaning he will be getting paid proportionately to his time spent with the Penguins during the regular season.
This is a deal that that will have little impact on the Penguins� long term salary cap situation. Some NHL executives are expecting the salary cap to be lowered from $56.7 million this year to $48 million next year as a result of the struggling economy. Regardless, the Penguins will not have to worry about Guerin�s salary for next year, unless they resign him. The former Islander will most likely consider re-signing with the Penguins in the off-season if he is offered a contract as he waived his no-trade clause in order to come play hockey in the Steel City.
The Penguins number one priority has been adding an offensive wingman that could help out Crosby and Malkin, though whether this should be their top priority is for another discussion. Chris Kunitz of the Anaheim Ducks was the first attempt to solve Pittsburgh�s problem. While Kunitz scored in his first game, the Penguins were still searching for one more piece to the puzzle. Guerin has been that missing piece and has made his presence felt so far with 9 points in 7 games since the trade. The Massachusetts native has been fairly productive for a forward this year by contributing 3 goals above the contributions of a marginal player for a GVT of +3.0. The only forward he trailed in terms of GVT production on the Islanders was Andy Hilbert, who has been flying under the radar on Long Island. Hilbert has become one of the better defending forwards in the game over his handful of years in the NHL.
The Penguins have had two glaring weaknesses this year:
1) They receive poor defending in the net with Marc-Andre Fleury, who has posted a measly + 2.3 GVT that ranks among NHL�s worst goalies. Guerin and Fleury have their GVT's treated differently because of time spent on the ice. While defensemen generally play 25 minutes and forwards play around 20 minutes, goaltenders often play an entire 60 minutes. This is why goaltenders are usually among the most valauble players in the NHL.
2) Their special teams play has been mediocre. The 16th ranked Power Play unit has been effective in scoring only 18.5 % of the time, while the 14th ranked penalty killing group has only prevented goals 85 % of the time.
3) Wing Depth: This became an apparent need when Marian Hossa went off to Detroit, leaving Pittsburgh with Miroslav Satan to sign. The Penguins have managed to improve their wing depth over the last few weeks with the addition of Chris Kunitz to help at the left wing position, and claimed right winger Craig Adams off of waivers from the Chicago Blackhawks. Unfortunately, the Penguins still lacked depth after Petr Sykora on the right wing. Other than Sykora, no right wingers have contributed a positive GVT on the season for Pittsburgh.
Guerin is not tremendously effective at addressing either of the first two team needs. However, where he does help is with the third flaw the Penguins have.
Even with the addition of Guerin, this final flaw could still be exacerbated depending on how head coach Dan Bylsma delegates time between Petr Sykora, Bill Guerin and Eric Godard. Peter Sykora, the first line right winger, has posted a + 7.2 GVT on the year, which makes him more than twice as effective on the ice as Bill Guerin. However, the next Right Wingman on the Penguins depth chart before the Guerin deal was Eric Godard. Godard has posted a horrifying -2.5 GVT, which makes him the least productive player on the entire roster. The key to maximizing Guerin�s value in the Igloo is to maintain Sykora�s average ice time, while significantly reducing Godard�s ice time in favor of Guerin. If the Penguins do that, which has happened so far, they�ve become better by about 5 or 6 goals over the course of a season. For the final quarter of the season and the playoffs, they�ve improved by approximately 2 goals. However, despite their newest addition, their first two weaknesses are likely to keep them from going far into the postseason.
Should the Penguins think about signing Bill Guerin after this season? Given that forwards hit their peak between the ages of 23 and 26, the answer would normally be no. Occasionally, there are exceptions. This is what the Similarity Score Index gives us for Bill Guerin�s top comparables going into this season:
Bill Guerin
Year Player GP G A PTS PIM GP G A PTS PIM 1999-00 John MacLean 30 4 2 6 17 50 7 5 12 34 1997-98 Adam Graves 82 38 15 53 47 404 97 71 168 221 1997-98 John MacLean 82 28 27 55 46 209 53 56 109 132 1998-99 Geoff Courtnall 6 2 2 4 6 6 2 2 4 6 2002-03 Jason Arnott 73 21 36 57 66 301 108 151 259 270 2002-03 Bobby Holik 82 25 31 56 96 310 66 86 152 351 1977-78 Garry Unger 80 30 26 56 44 276 64 65 129 198 1999-00 Claude Lemieux 46 10 16 26 58 196 34 53 87 172 1978-79 Garry Unger 79 17 16 33 39 196 34 39 73 154 1933-34 Bun Cook 48 13 21 34 26 114 21 31 52 46
In 70 games this season, the fifth overall selection in 1989 has 19 Goals, 27 Assists, 46 Points and 65 Penalties in Minutes. The two closest comparables on Guerin�s list for this season are Bobby Holik and Jason Arnott. Both of these players managed to play an average of 3.6 seasons more, though both are still playing. While the 38 year old New Jersey Devils center has been in a general decline since 1997-1998, it is interesting to note that he had one peak-like season following the 2002-2003 campaign and lockout. Following his surprising season, his production slowly fell off and stabilized over the course of 3 seasons to 11-15 Goals, 18-19 Assists, 30 Points and 85 Penalties in Minutes. Unfortunately for Holik, despite the hand injury, his career as a productive hockey player appears to be on the brink of ending after posting very poor numbers with the New Jersey Devils this year.
Jason Arnott, on the other hand, has seen his numbers go up since his 2002-2003 comparable year with the Dallas Stars. The 34 year old center has managed to score 28.2 Goals, along with 31.8 Assists, 60 Points and 58.8 Penalties in Minutes in five seasons. The 2003-2004 lockout season has been excluded because no games were played that year.
Given the lack of right wing depth behind Sykora for Pittsburgh, the Penguins should pursue a short term deal with Bill Guerin. A one year $2.5 million dollar deal would sound optimal, Bobby Holik money, but even a two year deal with a base salary around $3 million would still be tolerable. Anything higher than a total deal worth $6 million over 2 years is excessive. Guerin waived his no-trade clause because he wanted to play for a winner that had a chance of winning the Stanley Cup. If he refuses to settle for a one or two year contract with a $2.5-$3 million base salary, the Penguins should look elsewhere.

Yellowbelly plans to open at The Village
Last Updated: 16:40 October 15, 2013
"Our focus will be rotisserie and fried chicken with fresh side dishes," said Friedberg, who owns the restaurant. "We like this location because it is close to Tokyo Joe's and Larkburger. I was born and raised in Boulder, and I'm excited to be opening in my hometown."
Friedberg said Yellowbelly will be using as much Colorado product as possible, with a menu that is almost entirely gluten free and a full complement of beer and wine.
"We have sharable meals for families and big groups for around $30," he said. "This location is close to Folsom Field, and we are hoping for some tailgating business this fall."
The 1,436-square-foot restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Gart Properties LLC represented the building owner, and the tenant was represented by Craig Cohn with Solaris Development.

Storytelling: How narratives shape our reality, ideas and behaviour
Ever since its emergence, humanity has cultivated the art of telling stories, an art that is everywhere at the heart of the social bond. But since the 1990s, first in the US and then in Europe, this art has been colonized by the domain of public relations and triumphant capitalism, and relabelled with the anodyne name of storytelling.
This has become a weapon in the hands of marketing, management and political gurus, so as to better format the minds of consumers and citizens. Behind the advertising campaigns, but also in the shadows of victorious electoral campaigns from Bush to Sarkozy and Obama hide sophisticated storytelling management or digital storytelling technicians.
Join author and researcher Christian Salmon as he unveils the mechanics of a storytelling machine, far more effective than Orwellian visions of totalitarian society. The subject that it wants to create is a bewitched individual, immersed in a fictive universe that filters perceptions, stimulates feelings and frames behaviour and ideas.

Here is a picture of the prize for this contest without the clock hardware added. We will be adding it before we send it out to the winner!
This episode of The Philler covers the submissions from the contestants and we also had a chance to grab Ed Krystosek for a moment to discuss our beloved Green Crew that selflessly takes care of the grounds in the towns where Phish lands to do their thing for all of us fans. Mad love to everyone involved in Green Crew both past and present.
I played some really fun stuff from the opening night of this tour on this episode. The opening night of this tour delivered. My speakers confirmed this to me over and over again as I brought my family together last night to peel apart the first installment in a great run of interactive Phish.
The glory came in the second set. However, this first set was nothing to forget or dismiss in any way shape or phorm. The whole thing was glorious! The band came out on stage and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are taking this whole thing even more seriously than previous comeback tours. Each tour since the comeback has gotten more refined and polished. We are only left to wonder the inevitable question. What can possibly come next? I am personally pumped for some new studio material. This is the golden age of Phish. I'll be repeating that a lot on this blog because it is true.
"Nothing" was played for the first time since Camden in 2012. It was really fun to hear on the recording. The real treat for me was the live rebirthing of "Beauty of a Broken Heart" onto the stage and into the hearts of many adoring fans. Go Page! I'd love to see this song make her way into a more solid rotation. It can be the ebb or the flow for a show. It is a steady one either way you slice it.
"Torn and Frayed" popped off well. First night jitters? If Trey has any issue with it then he is a pro at hiding it because we got straight up solid playing from the guy on this night and throughout the entire string of performances. Welcome to the most professional touring act in the country! I'm sure I'll be repeating that more than once on this blog too as we move forward. Sometimes the simplest phrases are the most clear. These guys are fucking professionals!
"Torn and Frayed" – Lyrics
Hey let him follow you down
Way underground, wind and he's bound
Bound to follow you down
Just a dead beat right off the street, bound to follow you down
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites
On stage the band has got problems
They're a bag of nerves on first nights
He ain't tied down to no home town
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless
Well his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away, steal your heart away
Well his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies
Who's gonna help him to kick it
And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away, steal your heart away
Well his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
There was really interesting communication happening on stage between the musicians as is evident upon critical listening whether or not you attended the actual performance. The improvisation just kept on coming in set two. It was relentlessly coming in and out of every portion of that set two string of songs. I was completely moved to hear the band playing at such a consistent and creative level that I had to showcase the whole start of the second set through to "If I Could" on my program this week. It also deserves a spot on our radio station rotation due to the overall creative energy of the unified musical articulation. The band was playing as a psychogenic unit.
Lives were changed. Minds were adjusted.
Our community is filled with a myriad of different types of characters. Things propel us into our decisions at shows for different reasons. The music can motivate us to do things that may seem unreasonable to some people. It can create solid networks and can establish choices that we make outside of the concert setting. Unfortunately, it can also water a person down when it becomes the thing that controls such an individual that has been over saturated by too much Phish in a spell. However, in the case of the second set from night one of Worcester, I wouldn't mind hearing four or five nights in a stretch of that exact level of musical virtue. I'd be able to justify four or five shows in a row for my spiritual pursuit.
We are all trying to get to One at the end of the day. Other people need more shows to get what they need. One day I will be on the road with my children at Phish shows. I personally could not abandon them for any real length of time. Thank God for that Noblesville and Alpine Valley run. We were able to see our children in between the shows and that was a great blessing to have a little break with our always ready and willing in-laws and on call baby sitters. Three weeks away from my children for a band? I personally could not do it with a clear conscious. I cannot wait to take them on their first road trip. We are blessed to have the official live streams from the band to get them prepped for the venue, lifestyle and congregation that can only be experienced when you just get in the RV and go for it!
The second set brought some elaborate instrumental work from everyone involved. "Carini" led us into the depths of the unknown plunge and the crowd was in for a welcome home that only affirms the evidence of seriousness and sophistication from the entire Phish crew. The jam out of "Carini" takes the listener into an exasperated introduction of several songs that romanticizes the mind into the hook that beckons the need to see more shows. Why? Look at what you might miss. The chase was fathomlessly on in New England and if you caught it then it was a blessing.
Pursuance. One.
The chase continues as Leg two waits to sweep us back into the mystic and back into the romance that is the musical expression of four men bound for synchronistic clairvoyance on the most auricular heights imaginable to those that chase it. The pursuit is deep. We are all getting there at our own pace. This string of songs show us perfect examples of the allowance of the mind to time travel while still residing in the body. We go back. We go forward. We initiate the present in the illuminated back drop of this great plunge that we allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to take together as a unified force. This is the true purpose of music. It can entertain. It can make you rich. It can get you laid. It can transcend the entire experience of human life. It can also do the exact opposite. However, we are not talking about the exact opposite. We are talking about the true shit. We are in genuine mode every time we open ourselves up to this magical network. The journey that the band takes from "Carini" through to "If I Could" is essential One. The openness is awesome and the channel circulates once again into an even deeper understanding of purpose and holism.
Siket throbbing, ambient statements, "Norwegian Wood" embellishments, uncharted romps through a "Ghost" that exposes the musicians for the truly collaborative voyagers that we know they are whether or not they are trying to do it with each and every song and the beautiful complexion of it all is it penetrates the audience. Their reaction says it all. It's all right there in the radiating reaction of those East coast fans. We also got an exquisite use of the envelope filter as it bound one of the greatest transitions of the evening. The envelope following filter (auto-wah) made the bass line transition ever so thick as Phish laid down another strong Stevie Wonder classic. It was totally tasteful.
The envelope following filter "aka" auto wah. It is a sordid beast. When applied, it establishes a sonic experience that resembles a thick sitar milkshake from Mars that is distinctive and unforgettable as it resonates through a set of cabinets. It's an essential funk sound that is always recognized once you know what you are listening for as an effect and Mike Gordon is a tasteful master of this deployment. Keep your ears open for it.
"Instead of the effect being controlled by a foot pedal, as on a standard wah-wah, the effect alters in response to the volume of the input signal.[1] Since the electronic circuits in the effect can respond much faster than a human musician can physically move a foot pedal, certain effects that a standard wah cannot achieve are only possible with auto-wah. The response of the effect is highly interactive with the dynamics of the input signal – this makes it possible to vary the response at will via slight adjustments to playing technique. Therefore it may take some practice before the response of the auto-wah can be wilfully controlled in order to achieve a consistent sound.
A typical auto-wah circuit uses an envelope follower to produce a voltage representing the overall volume of the input. This signal is then used to sweep the cutoff frequency of a filter. The filter usually has a low-pass or bandpass response. The Boss AW-3 is an example of such a device.
There is a variant of auto-wah that utilises a low frequency oscillator (LFO) instead of an envelope follower to alter the effect. The filter response varies constantly with time and is not linked to playing dynamics. The Boss AW-2 is an example of such a device. The difference in sound is subtle, but careful listeners will notice the constant period of the filter sweep. The song "Falling Into Grace" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is an example of an LFO controlled auto-wah applied to the bass guitar.
Typical controls on an auto-wah include a sensitivity control to adjust the input level to match the level expected by the envelope follower and other circuitry, a control for the initial cutoff point of the filter, and a control for the depth of the filter sweep. Some more sophisticated units offer controls for the resonance of the filter, multiple filter types, and options for sweeping the filter up or down." – Wikipedia
"Boogie on Reggae Woman" came on proper as ever and the sequence culminated into an emotional roller coaster landing that slowed our nerves down into a graceful "If I Could" that left my ears gushing splendor through my entire central nervous system. I had to give this sequence props on my show. A major mind adjustment happened and we are blessed to even have this release as the Phish machine rolls on stronger than ever as a stage production.

The famous musical, "Fiddler on the Roof," which celebrates life and Jewish family tradition during turbulent times, is coming to town, and what better time than now?
Originally written by Shalom Aleichem and turned into a film by Joseph Stein and Norman Jewison in 1971, "Fiddler" has withstood the test of time. What happened in the Jewish ghetto of Anatevka, Russia, in 1904 is representative historically of the persecution Jews have faced, from the Nazis in World War II to the ascending tension in the Middle East between the Israelis and Palestinians today. The play is a celebration of togetherness and perseverance; fighting for Jewish pride and keeping the faith even when there is little left to believe in and no one else to turn to.

lol, I guess I could have done that too. But I'm at work now so I can't upload the file until later. But if Bostasp gets his link up first I wont bother ;)
(this is *so* last week ;) ;) )
Try some of these links
Jeff Lewis:
It skips whole sections of the video, and skips about every other frame. Thus cutting the play time down to half. Not only that but it's a ROM emulator.
--- Quote ---1. He seemed to pass thru a number of enemies without getting killed, you see much of that in World 8 with all the bombs and cannonballs. The bombs falling on Mario from ABOVE should had shrunk him.
2. He passed by the three "hand" stages without getting grabbed. THAT'S not possible.
3. He hopped on Bowsers head, you can't do that without dying.
4. He beat Bowser with fireballs, Bowser is immune to fireballs in SMB3.
Even though Point #2 is possible, although rare, & Point #4 is unverified, Points #1 & 3 are valid. However, the people at Twin Galaxies are trying to validate / invalidate the video, so it's still up in the air...

London, United Kingdom – Due to popular demand Rod Cambridge, the author of 'How NOT To Use Your Smartphone', has released a paperback version of the eBook.
Increasingly, smartphone users are being hacked because they don't understand how to configure or use their devices safely. And identity thieves can do an awful lot of bad once they have someone's personal information. The bad guys can trick smartphone owners into connecting to insecure Wi-Fi networks where their credentials and other private information becomes exposed. They can drop malware onto a device without the user realising, or make the smartphone call or text premium numbers that the bad guys own, pocketing the cash while the user ends up with huge bills. All too often the victims of hackers also have to deal with financial, banking, credit card, and utilities fraud, loss of social and professional reputation, and more.
In this book, computer security professional Rod Cambridge highlights the dangers of mobile computing and provides solutions, tips, and advice to help the user avoid being hacked through their smartphone.
"Smartphone and tablet users just don't realise how vulnerable they are to ID theft" said Rod, "the bad guys know that users often engage in the risky usage practices that I highlight in the book, so they now have smartphones and tablets firmly in their sights – especially as these devices typically contain valuable information such as contacts, addresses, passwords, and account details."
Smartphone owners armed with this book will be able to identify, and avoid, those risky usage practices – protecting their valuable information and data at the same time.
How NOT To Use Your Smartphone is second in the How NOT To series of eBooks. The first, How NOT To Write an App was launched last year. Additional books in the 'How NOT To' series will be released during 2012.
The eBook version of How NOT To Use Your Smartphone is priced at $2.99, and the paperback version is priced at $7.99.
