remember all those chickens we got? well, one day i went out to the coop and discovered one chicken still inside. i approached her and she tried to get up, but just toppled over. i soon realized she no longer had use of her legs. her feet were completely curled up into balls, and her legs just didn't seem to be working all that well.
i brought her inside and she immediately calmed down after a bit of holding her. we made her little "chicken shoes" to help splint her feet and after a few days of wearing them, her toes straightened out. she hasn't regained the use of her legs yet, but she is now a fully inside chicken, completely content when everyone is around. she likes to sit on our laps, lay on our chests on the couch to fall asleep, and really loves eating peaches.
the second we leave the room, she is peeping loudly and frantically wondering where we went. so she now comes with us everywhere. she particularly enjoyed the shower this morning, and now she is curled up on her new "chicken bed" on the chair next to me napping while i work.
it's kind of like having a newborn, i won't lie. trying to get her to sleep amidst noise, never leaving her side, having to feed her and help her take sips of her water. we go out and i worry about her home alone, wondering if she's peeping and looking for us.
but we are enjoying her greatly. she's a special girl, and even though we have no idea what the future will bring, we are happy to have the chance to take care of her now. and i'm sure you'll be getting louise updates often!
and the other chickens all have names now. we had to write them down because there are just so many of them. we had fun picking out names! the little one's favorite: "Butterfly." she holds her everyday and seems to have a magic way with chickens.
we've been enjoying lots of greens from the garden. our favorite dish has been lentils with beets, chard, and onions from our garden. the little one loves picking "magic beans" and saving them to plant next year.
what is coming out of your garden now?
and any chicken experts out there?

The blinking blue light atop the Baxter Hotel, Bozeman's highest building, means one glorious thing to the residents of this southwest Montana town: powder day. Another lumbering highline storm has arrived to deposit that famous cold smoke on Bridger Bowl. As a listless college student in Bozeman, I'd watch it pulse through the darkness on my frigid walks home from one of Main Street's fine drinking establishments. It would fill me with hope for a deep and lucid tomorrow, as my buddies and I struggled for clarity through all the bottom-shelf whiskey we'd just shot.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a ballerina. I'd stay late in the studio and watch the older girls in pointe class, with their impassive faces and impossible jetés. Then, shortly after I got my
own pointe shoes, I quit. Not because I stopped wanting to be a ballerina, but because every Sunday my legs were so saturated with lactic acid from nonstop Derailers, Railbenders, Drunken Frenchmen, and Golden Spikes at Mary Jane, Colo., the day before that I could not developpé them off the floor. Saturdays were for skiing, for trying to keep up with my older brother—at all costs.

Please Stay Just a Little Bit Longer.
Why I Stay Put Even When I Really Hate a Yoga Class.
Once upon a time in New York City, a group of fresh-faced young yoga teachers-in-training decided to boldly go where many had gone before in a vain but honorable attempt to sample all the yoga that great city had to offer.
"I had a dream about B.K.S. Iyengar last night!" pronounced one girl excitedly to the others, "We must start with an Iyengar class!"
And, since this is how many decisions are made in Yoga Land, the matter was settled. That was how I found myself back again in what is without exception my least favorite asana practice. And by that I mean I hate it.
Now please, before you begin to compose lengthy comments below in defense of Iyengar, this is not intended to be an Iyengar-bashing post. We all have practices that make our hearts sing and others that make our teeth hurt, and for me, Iyengar falls definitively into that category of severe dental discomfort. If for you it falls into the jumping-for-joy category, I couldn't be more pleased on your behalf. Moving right along….
Some of the very first yoga classes I ever took, almost twenty years ago, were Iyengar classes. I have taken more than my fair share of Iyengar classes over the years, and having carefully compared and contrasted the style alongside others such as Vinyasa, I have come to the conclusion that I prefer to flow from pose to pose instead of standing static. While safe alignment is vital to my practice and teaching, I love the feeling of heart beat and breath and sweat and sensation that flow practices bring me. In comparison I find myself chilly and bored in practices that don't extend beyond thinking and technique application. I despise having to jump my feet together from wide legged standing poses (why???). I think the teeny shorts worn by traditional Iyengar instructors are creepy. And as you'll know if you read this recent post, I hate having to sit out on forward bends because my spine doesn't remain completely straight when I fold forward.
So, when my friend suggested an Iyengar class, I said "okay" and after work I caught the subway to Grand Central and the shuttle to Times Square and another subway downtown and an hour later emerged at the bustling Iyengar Yoga Institute of NYC where two of my friends, virgins to Iyengar style, met me in a glow of anticipation (I never asked exactly what happened in the dream to garner such enthusiasm).
We unrolled our mats close to the back of the busy studio and settled in. Duly, the teacher strode in and our idle chat dissolved as our collective gaze swung to the front and fastened upon her. Like a love child of Cleopatra and Mowgli, she stood before us: striking, statuesque, severe….until you got to the waist and saw the tiny, teeny, saggy shorts. On my left, my friend clapped a hand over her mouth not at all inconspicuously (in the interests of fairness, I had not given either girl any indication of what to expect). The friend to my right failed miserably in her attempt to withhold a snort. Teacher shot a withering glare in our direction and we snapped to attention.
But in our first downward dog, the whispering began.
"What is she wearing?"
"It's kind of….what they do." I offered by means of a lame explanation.
"Even the men?"
"Even the men."
More sniggering. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply and tried to ignore my dear friends even as their opinions about class became rather less veiled. It was not that I didn't understand their reaction, you see, rather I didn't want to dissolve into uncontrolleable laughter. For the next 90 minutes I stonewalled any pleas for eye contact as we tiresomely performed the same three poses over and over again. I avoided their gazes as the teacher (who was becoming increasingly more Gestapo-like as class went on) proceeded to parade around the room smacking students on the behind if their hips were not aligned to her liking in Trikonasana. I will admit I discreetly treated myself to a roll of my eyeballs every time we had to jump our feet together but I still did it, because frankly I was terrified of this woman.
"You! Is there a reason you are not jumping your feet together?"
Silence fell. My eyeballs ceased rolling and swiveled towards the subject of persecution.
"I have a knee injury?" stammered a thirty-something white male meekly.
This seemed a sufficient reason and our teacher dropped her accusatory pointer finger and resumed teaching and shouting and roaming and smacking. Meanwhile I began jump my feet together with a touch more gusto lest I be ordered to the gas chamber. Finally, after all the stopping and starting of a Catholic mass, we paused for the fiftieth time and were instructed to retrieve an impressive list of props that it seemed would have been easier to obtain before class began. A hullabaloo of fifty odd yoga students elbowing each other out of the way to get blankets, bolsters and blocks ensued and somewhere in the chaos I accidentally met my friend's gaze.
"Should we just leave?" she implored, eyes boring into mine with a silent begging.
The question caught me off guard. I was shocked. I didn't even hesitate in my response.
"Absolutely not." I said firmly, and resolutely lugged my props back to my mat with me, ready for the next round of torture and insults.
My reasoning was simple: I was not okay with disrupting class, even if the teacher was wearing my dad's most archaic pair of Y-fronts. Nobody had forced me here. I had shown up entirely by my own doing, quite prepared for what to expect, and was there for the full Iyengar experience, no different than any other yoga class. There was not a doubt in my mind that I was staying till the end. I may not like the way the teachers dress, I definitely don't like the way the practice lands in my body, and I certainly don't agree with smacking your students if you don't enjoy their alignment, but I won't walk out of a yoga class.
The fact is, I have never walked out of a yoga class. I have seen others walk out of class. Students have walked out of my class. But I have never walked out of a yoga class. I've stayed put through teachers that seem as though they've just stumbled into the studio and decided it might be nice to teach a yoga class. I've remained present with teachers who clearly think all their students are total dipshits for not being able to do drop backs. I've been bored to tears, I've fallen out of Tree Pose laughing so hard at terrible Sanskrit, I've seen teachers send text messages in class, and still I've stayed till the end. So, I've wanted to walk out of yoga classes. I've even wanted to walk out of my own yoga classes from time to time and just leave my students in downward dog till they realize I'm never coming back. But I have never walked out of a yoga class.
I'm in your class for whatever experience you have to offer. If I don't like it, I probably won't come back. If I see room for improvement, I might offer you feedback after class. If I hear you shaming a student, I want to stand up for them. If I feel like you're endangering your students, I will alert your supervisor. But I won't walk out just because it's "not my thing." I'll stay put because staying put is the hardest thing to do, and every time I do it, I learn something about myself worth learning. I'll form my opinion based on the entire class and afterwards I very well might laugh about it over Thai food with my friends across the street. But I won't walk out.
I would love to read your comments – have you ever walked out of a yoga class? If so, why?

That was a very fun read Julia. I especially liked the line "since this is how most decisions are made in yoga land." LOL. You have certainly had some obnoxious teachers (a text? seriously? I hope it was an emergency!) and still hung out till the very end. For that I applaud you!
I agree! I HATE Iyengar, but I would never walk out of a yoga class. I just think it is so rude. Even if the teacher is teaching a completely boring " lets hold triangle for another 5,000 breaths" Type of a class, I endure the moment. I have been to a few vinyasa classes that actualy ended up being very alignment oriented. That REALLY pissed me off. If you want to teach Iyengar, fine, but please list it that way on the schedule. I think leaving a yoga class unless you have told the teacher ahead of time that you have to leave early, is right up there with those people who answer their cell phones in class.
I'm a yoga snob. Yeah the one who peeks in the doorway of my regular studio to be sure that the teacher I showed up to practice with is the one who is actually teaching. And if not, I've left. But always before class starts. Once it starts I will wrestle with the antagonism in my head, but like you will never leave and like you I know my annoyance or criticism of whatever is happening is merely a reflection of my own stuff. Nice piece-it was a compelling read.
i have wanted to walk out of many yoga classes, but have never done it. i find that i can learn something, do something i've never done before, or at the very least, learn what absolutely not to do in every class i attend.
I HAVE walked out of a yoga class – just once in my life. Just playing devil's advocate here, but what about the consideration that some teachers may actually be so bad, they may be dangerous for their students, particularly if that student is newer in their practice and doesn't know their own personal body limitations? Just a thought…
I have to problem taking a class that is different, my problem is like Jen's^^, if you say its a Vinyasa class, I don't expect to be holding poses, and that pissed off feeling has to be dealt with, I find it is an excellent time to still the mind and focus on the breath…except when my brain is screaming…why is he/she sequencing like this, this will never work!! and my favorite is when the teacher COUNTS off the crunches, apparently forgetting she is in a yoga class not the gym…but usually, I use it as an opportunity to breathe…
I have never walked out of a class (sacrilege!) but I think I most definitely would if it was blatantly unsafe or if the teacher was mistreating people. I wouldn't last two minutes with Bikram. And, btw, Iyengar teachers smack people? Seriously?
This had me laughing out loud; thank you! Walk out of a yoga class? No way, I can learn something from every experience. If I felt it was unsafe, I modify. I know how to modify well because I have to.
This could be one of the best Elephant articles I've read…so funny and true on so many levels! I thought I was the only one who felt that way about Iyengar classes. Great work, thank you for sharing

MINNEAPOLIS -- The father of the 9-year-old boy who successfully thwarted multiple levels of airport security, didn't want to be seen at his first public appearance Wednesday morning, but he said he needed to be heard.
"Somebody please help me," the father said through tears while donning a hoodie and baseball cap concealing his face in front of several cameras representing multiple media outlets at a press conference.
For weeks the man said he asked authorities for help in dealing with his troubled son.
He said he asked at his son's school when he was suspended for fighting.
He said he asked police when the boy was taken in after stealing a truck and smashing into an Edina police car.
"I'm tired of people saying he's a minor there is nothing we can do, there is something somebody can do. I don't want to see my son hurt," the father said.
Help in cases like this can be hard to find, but a first step, can be taken.
"It's best to usually start with a family physician or therapist," licensed family therapist at FamilyMeans Emily Erickson said Wednesday night.
There are clinics in the Twin Cities that offer sliding scale fees for therapy; some can even come at no cost.
It's clear this boy, who was able to steal a truck, divert multiple levels of security and board a plane without a ticket is savvy.
But his actions also suggest he has real struggles he can't seem to verbalize.
"For kids, behavior is communication. They don't have the skills that we have to speak to say I am feeling this way or that way, and they struggle in this way so they behave and that is their way of sounding an alarm," Erickson said.
In an effort to find the silver lining here maybe this boy's latest stunt is the alarm that has to sound for help to find him.
Citing data privacy laws Hennepin County authorities wouldn't answer questions about if they would be helping this boy, as his mother claims, and if they would what exactly that would entail.
The boy's family says he is still in protective custody in Las Vegas and that they have not spoken to him though they were told he would be flying home on Friday.

In some ways, it's sad to see a game like The Witcher get released during the busy holiday season. Not because it's a bad game. The Witcher is a fabulous RPG experience. No. It's sad because a game like this is bound to be overshadowed by the vast number of high profile releases all clumped into a three-week period. And that's too bad, because The Witcher is something every RPG fan should try.
The Witcher is heavily based on a series of Polish fantasy novels of the same name. While it takes place after the events covered in the books, players are initially given very little to go on. All you really know is that you are Geralt, a genetically mutated monster slayer or "Witcher." During a particularly brutal encounter with a particularly nasty beast, Geralt is mysteriously snatched from the jaws of death by his fellow Witcher bretheren. Trouble is, he's lost his memory.
It's too bad that the game begins with the extremely tired "amnesia" plot device, but to its credit, it only serves to get the player into the game with a blank slate, so to speak. The rest of the story in The Witcher is fantastically intricate and superbly well-told. While there's a main plotline, the game is really more about exploring a vast, detailed setting that is rife with corruption, political intrigue, racial inequality, and class struggle.
The rich source material is lovingly and respectfully integrated into the game. Instead of wading through pages and pages of back story, players are tossed into the narrative deep end and allowed to learn about the game world at their own pace.
And as you make your way through the game, fighting monsters and solving quests, Geralt will be presented with many choices that can have dire consequences later on. Seemingly benign decisions can have a lasting impact on the characters and the game world. Very few games even attempt this level of narrative interactivity, and what The Witcher has managed to do in this regard is truly impressive.
Intriguing story or no, the game is still an RPG at heart, and as such it contains all the familiar trappings of the genre, as the main quest line takes you on a linear progression through five chapters. The game itself is based on Bioware's Aurora Engine, which was used to develop the original Neverwinter Nights.
But you won't find any of the limitations of the D20 system here. The Witcher uses a completely original set of game mechanics that are about as far removed from D&D as you can get. The world of The Witcher is filled with monsters and magic, but you won't be scoring vast amounts of loot. And don't expect to augment your character's abilities with magic items.
Instead, the game uses a simple and effective spell system that's comprised of only five different spell types. Each type can be improved over time in such a way that the spells remain useful throughout.
It's the alchemy system, however, that will probably garner more of your attention. Mixing up potions and oils to increase your effectiveness in combat is a huge part of the game. And they can have some interesting effects. Some, like Spectral Oil will make your weapons more effective against the undead, while the blizzard potion makes you so agile you can unleash a flurry of attacks before your enemy knows what hit him.
Combat is mostly a point-and-click affair, but players can string together devastating combos by timing their clicks correctly. Geralt can also switch between three different combat stances depending on the type of enemy he's facing.
As Geralt levels up, players are able to customize him by selecting from many, many different skills and abilities. Some of these unlock different status effects Geralt can inflict during combat. Others increase the potency of his spells. There's no "correct" build. Instead, players are encouraged to choose skills that reflect they way they wish to play the game. If only all games were designed this way.
The Witcher is a classic example of a game that is more than the sum of its parts. If you just look at the RPG mechanic, The Witcher appears a little shallow--especially compared to other big fantasy games like Oblivion.
But when married to the excellent storyline and setting, everything works wonderfully. The game practically demands that you become a part of the game world and that you take the time to understand it. For example, you can only mix up potions while you're resting. And unlike most RPGs, you need to find a safe place to do it either by taking refuge at an Inn or other friendly dwelling, or by locating a campfire. Furthermore, there's a full-on day and night cycle that needs to be considered since some non-playable characters have their own schedules and may or may not be around when you come calling.
The combat, although simple on the surface, takes potions, spells, and tactical position into consideration. That means that even seemingly tough boss battles can be won with relative ease as long as you make the right preparations. It's far more interesting than the standard level grind that most RPGs put you through.
And really, enough can't be said about how great it is to have to make choices that aren't merely about good or evil.
Although based on the Neverwinter Nights engine, The Witcher is quite impressive from a technical perspective. So much so that it's hard to believe it's really based off the same architecture. Players can chose from several game views and controls, including a tactical overhead view and a down and dirty, over-the-shoulder perspective.
Villages, urban areas, and the countryside are all convincingly crafted and populated with locals, travelers, merchants, bandits, murderers, monsters, and guards. The effect is one of exploring an honest to goodness living breathing world.
The story elements are told through a series of incredibly cinematic in-engine cutscenes, but this kind of detail comes at a price, however. At the highest graphical setting, the game will slow to a stutter on all but the beefiest PCs, and loading times between areas can be unbearably long.
While everything is very well voiced, much of the dialogue suffers in the translation. Sometimes characters will start saying things that don't really make much sense given the context. The music, however, is excellent.
The Witcher, in all its facets, screams quality. There are a few places where ambition exceeds feasibility, and it's quickly becoming apparent that there's not a lot of wiggle room left within the genre, but The Witcher delivers one of the most intense and rewarding role-playing experiences this year.

Liberal comedian Jon Stewart has been one of the most sympathetic television personalities to Ron Paul and his cause, and as a result, Stewart has come to Paul's defense a number of times, even calling out the mainstream media for its failure to provide fair and accurate reporting of Paul's campaign success. Likewise, Stewart has featured Paul on his Comedy Central television program, The Daily Show, on several occasions. In Paul's most recent appearance, which aired on September 26, Paul was asked by Stewart why the media has chosen to ignore him. Paul answered: "I'm a threat to the Establishment."
Stewart appeared genuinely confused as to why the mainstream media has wholly ignored Paul and treated him as an unviable candidate. He asked Paul:
Why do you think that is? You ran in 2008. You had a nice strong showing. You've improved upon that. You came in a very close second in the Ames Straw Poll. What is it about your candidacy that they so easily dismiss and are they right when they saw Ron Paul is not an electable figure?
Paul responded by indicating that he is obviously electable as he has been elected to 12 terms in the House of Representatives. As to why he believes the media has disregarded him as a legitimate contender, Paul answered, "I think some people don't want to hear the message because it's a threat to them and I'm a threat to the Establishment.

Well, my boyfriends been complaining that his penis hurts after we do sexual things. After I give him a blow/hand job he comes, then a while after, he says that his penis hurts. Why...? It's confusing and it kinda knocks my confidence with doing things like that, I feel like I'm hurting him and I don't like it... any help?

not sure if this has any relevance but i found it on another site hope it helps xx
"If you are able to become erect and then soft again (when you don't ejaculate) with no pain, and you are able to pee with no pain, then it sounds like a possible prostate problem.
Try the following experiment (no fun, but you want to know don't you?). Do the handjob business, but stop shortly before ejaculation and let yourself cool back off. If it still hurts, then it's something related to the penis head itself. If it doesn't hurt when you do that, then it's probably a prostate issue. Either way, you probably want to see a doctor, but it would be good to be armed with the information he/she needs before you go."

sorry me again, i found an explanation on the web that sounds a lot more logical.

Wow i thought i was alone.
My boyfriend has the same problem, he says it also hurts to insert his penis into me.. if you know what i mean, so we have to go really gentle untill he claims it doesnt hurt. We've been having sex for over a year so it cant be because he isnt used to it.
Sorry to steal your problem page here, i can only offer the same advice as CraigD there ^.
Apologise, but if anyone can help me as well as her, i for one would be so grateful.

Archive for the 'Schuylkill Expressway' tag
Philadelphia, 1973, part 3
The above photo, taken by Dick Swanson in August 1973 for the Documerica project, isn't much of a carspotting image, but I still find it compelling enough to include here – that kid looks so street smart, so one has to wonder what he's doing, walking alone down a street past a lineup of cars at least as old as him. For a more conventional street scene, we'll turn to another Swanson photograph, also taken that month in Philadelphia, of the Schuykill Expressway. What do you see here?

If you tend to use more dressing than a serving, add a little water to your cream based dressing. This will thin it out enough to cover all your lettuce perfectly.
Sometimes I add water or 1% milk to a bottle of commercial salad dressing to thin it out. When it's thinner you don't get globs of dressing - less dressing means you still get some flavor without all the fat or calories.
Most salad dressings can be thinned out with a little water without sacrificing taste, especially ranch-type dressings. Adding a little water (especially when you are dining out and have your dressing "on the side") can make the dressing coat the salad more evenly and reduce the amount of actual dressing (and thus calories) you are eating.
Work outs go faster and are fun

City of Music: Folk & Folkways
In the City of Music
The many folk traditions Mahler encountered gave him a rich source of songs, dances, and legends.
"The Bohemian music of my childhood home has found its way into many of my compositions."
Mahler's Methods
Devoted to Counterpoint
Mahler's command of counterpoint was rooted in his study of the past, but he used it in a uniquely expressive way. Essential to the effect was clarity of line: "In true polyphony the themes run side by side quite independently, each from its own source to its own particular goal and as strongly contrasted to one another as possible, so that they are heard quite separately."

|WoW the show was KICK ASS! I went to the Boston Show Last night and fan club seats were great! We were in the 8th row, the row with the aisle in front so it sucked for security reasons. Security were right in front of us, walking back and forth looking for people who were trying to run up closer. Upon entering the venue security searched my bag and asked me did I have any cameras or anything. I had a digital camera and forgot to use the zoom!! I used it at first but when I turned the camera back on and off I forgot to use the zoom, so my pictures are smaller then they should be. I am still learning how to use the camera I only had the camera for a week. I'm so happy I don't have to develop film! Event Staff did see me taking alot of pics so she sent another staff over who said, "put your camera away or will have to take it." THERE WERE NO CAMERAS ALLOWED at this venue, but if you had a disposable they didn't bother you, we had a disposable too but those pictures came out microscopic, not even worth the hassle and money to develop the film. If you want your pictures to come out decent, you gotta take them with the house lights on. The show was unbelievable!! 2 FULL HOURS of ROB!!! and Matchbox Twenty songs!! The crowd was much older in age then when I first saw them in Great Woods all those years back off their first album tour. (those were all teenagers) The people around me we all 30-40 and older. I lost my mind when Rob came on because he looked SO GOOD IN THOSE PANTS!! Pinstriped tight ASS PANTS!!! He SNAKED all over that stage, he was really working those hips last night. That was some different stuff then he had ever done at the last 2 tours I saw him. I saw him in The Centrum and twice in Mansfield. Rob just gets better and better!! Funniest line of the night was when he said "I'm sweatin like a whore in church!!" The whole place busted out laughing!! Adam Gaynor had great eye contact with his fans, he really talked with them while playing and smiled and stuff. Kyle Cook was more reserved but totally into his playing, and Paul Doucette was cute when he gave his drums sticks away before the encore, and he threw shit at Rob when they had alittle band fight about Paulie's hand. Apparantly he smashed it on a garbage can. They were all great. Brian Yale was hopping around all over the stage very energetic and Rob and Adam, had this whole talk about Mother's Day which was cute! Any way here are the shots I was lucky to get anything at this venue, so enjoy THE BOOTY!!
About the opening acts:
I thought the Maroon5 band was okay, they had nice catchy songs but the lead singer had a baseball cap down over his face the whole time and that irritated me for some reason. Being a new band looking for recognition...Also his voice was too high pitched for the style of music. But I'll bet he sounds great on the album.... It was like a rock band playing a cross between Justin Timberlake's solo stuff and Jay Kay. Then Sugar Ray came out and I was looking forward to seeing them perform but I was Sooooooo disappointed!! Mark McGraph is terrible live!! He must be all studio magic because it almost seemed like he was singing over his own record on some chorus parts. And he had his DJ and the guitar player singing HEAVY backgroud vocals to HELP him with the vocals. And I thought his voice was more whiney then it is on the records. This performance really changed the way I feel about Mark's talent
I'm gonna skip the two opening acts next time for sure!!

Thanks everyone for checking out the pics! I was really happy just to get anything. I am going to 2 more shows so I will try to sneak my digital camera in again, and if I can- I'll put the pictures up of those shows too. It's amazing to hear all the experiences of the night and I'm right there with all of you. Rob and the band put on a hell of a show no matter where you are seated!

Hey Matchbox Twenty fans! I took some new pictures Last night at the Manchester NH show!!
I was in the 8th row center right in front of Rob. Security was snatching film from cameras, way more fans took pictures then in Boston. Much younger crowd.
I have one more show I am attending next week. I am going to try and photograph it but getting any pictures at all HAS NOT BEEN EASY! I was searched twice, twice they looked in my bag, I had to have a scout looking out for security because they took a camera from a girl 2 rows behind me even though we were all clustered and trapped in, they still had security in the upper levels with headsets telling the floor security right where they saw the flashes. So I'm happy I got these!!
ROB WAS SO FUNNY LAST NIGHT!!! I don't know if anyone else reviewed the show, but if not I can tell more. He was talking on a fan's cellphone to her husband. He said "we'll have her back soon!" and he also played a "HODOWN" which was pretty funny!

You guys are most welcome! I'll try to get more on my third and final mission. I got into a show tonight in Mansfield MA, Kenny Wayne Shepherd was the opening act, so you know I was there. They snagged my camera, but thank GOD I had meet and Greet passes, the lady sent me to a huge security man to plead my case because she said only disposables were allowed at Meet & Greets. He was cool, he said just don't use it for the show, which I didn't because I had the seat right in front of security. Noah & Kenny didn't give a damn that I had a digital camera at M&G, they were looking at the back of camera with me viewing the pics as we took them, and I got great shots too, and digital camera makes the pictures larger then life, then you scale down when you get home. You can pop them on the web in 2 seconds! I wish the venues didn't act like you're a terrorist just because we want to take pictures of our favorite bands! They didn't take disposables away, So GO FOR IT, but we had one for Boston too and we got them developed, and Rob looks like an ANT even though we were pretty close, 8th. I wouldn't bother with my disposable again, unless I wanted to take shots of myself and friends enjoying the concert. However if you have FRONT ROW, or that close, I would try it!
Anyway, everybody can take the picture and use them for anything you want. I don't have a MB20 site, so if you guys want them, you are welcome to use them! Enjoy & thanks for looking, and if anybody had time to check out Noah, we appreciate that too because he is ONE FINE MAN.. and he sings the blues like no other I've ever heard before!!! ~Peace...

Drove 13 hours out to Columbus Ohio for last nights show on my way to Cincinnati! The Columbus Crowd kicks ass!! The whole place was like one big Party that Rob invited us all to. This was definitely the BEST of the three shows I've seen in the past 2 weeks!! Rob was so funny, feeling under the weather but he said "matchbox twenty doesn't cancel shows". and that Watching the crowd get hyped for Sugar Ray got him hyped to carry on with the show!!
Everybody in the place were total fans..in Boston it was more like fans bringing along someone with them that really wasn't into it. All the men in my area had on Matchbox twenty t-shirts as well! It was awesom. Rob sang "everybody wants to rule the world" by tears for fears..I've always loved that song.
I left a review of the show on the COLUMBUS SHOW post with as many details as I can remember.
And I was stoked that the fans in Columbus KNOW how to have a good F'ing time!!
I DID get my digital camera past security...I'm 3 for 3 at mb20 shows...but I haven't done any work on them yet because of my traveling to Cincy!!
My advise to anyone thinking about taking pics...DON'T do it when the arena is DARK! They don't come out well at all. My best shots at every venue came out when the house lights were on!! There were tons of fans taking pics as well.
I'll let you know when I get the pics from Columbus up!

I was at the Columbus show as well and here's my take on the event...
I saw the Screen working fine...no problems. What was falling was one of the huge square lighting structures over their heads. Poor Rob looked up uneasy and then says to the crowd "They just gave us the thumbs up and an it's okay..." and he made funny faces like WTF? as the lighting structure rocked back and forth over them. Then he added...If something terrible should happen and I get killed..."Tell everyone that it was an awesome show....I don't want to hear that we all died at the show last night and by the way, it wasn't that good"!
He was so funny and soooo into this crowd! The whole crowd on the floor was dancing and singing...and they knew the words to every song.
some crowds they only knew the big hits..and hardly anyone knows "Busted"...which was great last night and al the fans their were singing along!!
Also, at one point The sound tech comes out as Rob is singing
and starts trying to fix Rob's mic pack on him while he's still singing..it's taking a long time so Rob starts wiggling and making faces at him...after the song he says..I want to thank you guys (the crowd) because you just saved my ass! I could hear anything for most of that last song and I heard you all singing and I just followed along with you guys and hoped it was in the right key!
Rob also said to us...I want to dedicated this next song special. I see a lot of familiar faces in this crowd that I have seen at other shows and it's so great to look out and see you all again...so for those people this songs for you! And then he sang 3AM!! It was so cool!
The seats were so great at all 3 shows...I am so glad that I could see him sing so close up..you could see him really sanging these songs with soooo much energy, love and passion! Rob Thomas puts on one kick ass performance, and I'd recommend this show to anyone who's not a fan who just likes great songs and music and I'd bet they'd have a whole new respect for Rob...
He said he was under the weather..but you couldn't tell by the way he sounded and the 200% of himself he gave to each and every song!!
