Elliott Smith – The Complete Live Covers

  • by David Greenwald | 2.24.2009

Elliott Smith

This will be the third and hopefully final time I’ve posted my 51-track compilation of Elliott Smith’s complete live cover recordings. It is, in large part, the reason I moved from the old blogspot page to this shiny new space — its unexpected Google deletion. But we’re here for Elliott. The below tracks have been culled from years of research and dozens of live shows. Not every song has the greatest recording fidelity, but as much as possible, I chose the tapes with the best combination of performance and sound for this collection. If you can point me toward better versions or copies of any of these tracks, please feel free to post them in the comments and we’ll update accordingly. It should be noted that Elliott was really a fan of the bands he covered — most of these were not one-offs, but songs he performed regularly. His Texas heritage is on display when he sings Willie Nelson; his pop influences hang on his sleeve as he strums tracks by the Kinks, Big Star and his beloved Beatles. He took his covers very seriously, too: at many a live show, he wouldn’t play a request because he didn’t feel he could do it justice that night. Hear the ones he did play, lovingly, below:

Seattle 2, D-Rays 0. We knew this was going to happen, but we might have been in denial. Since the Rays traded Mark Hendrickson, Tobey Hall, Joey Gathright, Aubrey Huff and Julio Lugo, we knew this team would struggle at times…Ok, ok…We knew this team would struggle a lot. However, what makes this difficult for us is that this team, that just got swept by the Mariners, is the same team that can split a 4-game series with the best team in baseball (Detroit) and win 2 of 3 against Boston. They are young and inexperienced (2nd youngest roster in the Majors), but the talent is there. Unfortunately, at this stage there is going to more frustrating games than games that remind us of the potential.

Last night James Shields pitched well enough to win, but received no offensive support. Shields went the distance striking out 6, allowing 5 hits, 1 walk and 2 runs. The Rays were down early, allowing a run after the first 3 batters. Shields then settled down to retire the next 8 batters before allowing a solo home run to Adrian Beltre to lead off the 4th inning. Shields then retired 14 of the final 16 batters he faced. Offensively, The D-Rays managed just 4 singles and nobody for the Rays reached third base. In the 7th and 8th the Rays were able to threaten. In each inning, Tampa had runners at 1st and 2nd with one out, but were unable to bring any runs home.

Just when we had left the last two series behind with a good feeling, along comes a team who had just been swept themselves and appeared to have just lost any hope to their season and the Rays get swept. The Rays were competitive in all 3 games, but this team needs to learn how to out themselves over the top. At least we get to look forward to having Scott Kazmir back on Friday night.

Speaking of competitive games in this series. We were unable to post about the middle game of this series and we would be remiss if we didn’t make a comment now about such a heart-breaking defeat. To recap: Ichiro lead off the bottom of the 10th inning in a 1-1 game with a double down the left field line. Joe Maddon then made his first mistake when he brought in Seth McClung. Maddon had to have expected that the Mariners were going to sacrifice Ichiro to third. And if he did expect that, he must have already known he was going to intentionally walk the next two batters (which he did). In that case, why not leave Shawn Camp in to pitch to the next three batters? Why bring in McClung at that point? After intentionally walking the next two batters, McClung had then thrown 8 straight pitches out of the strike zone. On top of that, McClung, a fastball pitcher, then had to face Richie Sexson, a fastball hitter. After the first pitch, a slider, was way out of the strike zone, everybody at the game…everybody listening to the game…everybody watching the game…knew the next pitch was going to be a fastball. More importantly, Sexson knew the next pitch was going to be a fastball. Next pitch? Fastball. Next pitch? Grand Slam. Next pitch? Game over. But that is not when the game was lost. We have not been very critical of Maddon this season. For the most part, we think he has called good games and has handled the players as well as can be expected, but Joe Maddon lost this game. He should not have brought in McClung when he did. His next mistake was the second intentional walk to Raul Ibanez. Why not pitch to Ibanez with the corners in and the middle infielders at double play depth. Why choose to face Sexson? That loss looked bad for McClung, but it was in no way his fault.

    Swedish duo Jonsson/Alter take their spaced-out deep house and hi-tech disco leanings to Copenhagen’s Culture Box. Join the dance!

    Dynamic duo _(artist-name)Jonsson/Alter_ originally hail from the West Coast of Sweden but recently relocated to Neukölln, Berlin, because that’s where you carry your beats and bleeps when you’re young and on the rise. After several 12" releases on _(artist-name)Ulf Eriksson_’s acclaimed Kontra-Musik imprint, and live shows in clubs across the globe, Jonsson/Alter released _(album-title)Mod_, an album full of spacey, deep and – occasionally – jacking house leanings that took critics by storm, while their following 12"s display a shift towards more upfront, disco-influenced programmings and sci-fi inspired mood music. Their follow-up _(album-title)2_ displayed an even more assured grasp of house and its deeper dynamics, all the while maintaining the groove to move you. Join the dance!

Top 10 Resources on Dyslexia

Learn about the common signs of dyslexia, how parents can support their child and celebrate their strengths, the role of assistive technology, how the latest brain research can help kids with dyslexia, and more.
  1. Dyslexia Basics
    Do you think your child or student might have dyslexia? "Dyslexia Basics," a factsheet by International Dyslexia Association, tells you the definition, symptoms, causes and effects. Find out how to help.
  2. Clues to Dyslexia in Early Childhood
    The earliest clues involve mostly spoken language. The very first clue to a language (and reading) problem may be delayed language. Once the child begins to speak, look for difficulties with rhyming, phonemic awareness, and the ability to read common one-syllable words.
  3. Clues to Dyslexia from Second Grade On
    The specific signs of dyslexia, both weaknesses and strengths, vary widely. Problems with oral language, decoding, fluency, spelling, and handwriting are addressed, as well as strengths in higher order thinking skills.
  4. Reading and the Brain
    Hosted by Henry Winkler, who has had his own struggles with reading, Reading and the Brain explores how brain scientists are working to solve the puzzle of why some children struggle to read and others don't. Startling new research shows the answer may lie in how a child's brain is wired from birth. This program is part of our PBS Launching Young Readers series about how children learn to read, why so many struggle, and what we can do to help.
  5. What Are Classrooms Like for Students with Learning Disabilities?
    Classrooms can be perilous in a number of ways for students with learning disabilities. Here are some tips to remember when working with students with LD. Reading Rockets has developed a set of family literacy bags to encourage hands-on fun and learning centered around paired fiction and nonfiction books.
  6. Assistive Technology for Kids with Learning Disabilities: An Overview
    If your child has a learning disability, he or she may benefit from assistive technology tools that play to their strengths and work around their challenges. This article will introduce parents to the role of AT in helping their children with LD.
  7. Spelling and Dyslexia
    Spelling is a challenge for people with dyslexia. The International Dyslexia Association provides a fact sheet explaining why people with dyslexia have trouble spelling, how to find out the reasons a particular child has this difficulty, and how to help children with dyslexia spell better.
  8. Strategies for Summer Reading for Children with Dyslexia
    Here are a dozen simple strategies to help your children keep the academic skills they learned during the school year. Support them as they read. Give them material that is motivating — and some of it should be easy. Help them enjoy books and feel pleasure — not pressure — from reading. The summer should be a relaxed time where their love of learning can flower.
  9. FAQs About Dyslexia
    Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, and Reading Rockets gets lots of questions about it, including what it is, warning signs, what to do, and how to help. Here you'll find questions from parents and answers from our experts.
  10. Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, and Vision
    Thanks to advances in imaging techniques and scientific inquiry, we now know much more about learning disabilities (LD), dyslexia, and the role of vision problems. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Council on Children with Disabilities, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology published a joint statement that summarizes what is currently known about visual problems and dyslexia. The statement also covers what treatments are and are not recommended when diagnosing and treating vision problems, learning disabilities, and dyslexia.

Leading pot decrim pol visits town

Until Virginia's own senior senator, Jim Webb, announced an effort a year ago to study it, perhaps the nation's boldest exponent of decriminalization of marijuana–- something that's now the law of the land in Portugal–- was former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson. Richard Sincere reports on Johnson's Monday visit to Charlottesville.

Read more on: marijuana

Sadly, drugs will not be legalized for a long time. I wonder how many more people will have their lives ruined before they realize the war on drugs has failed. Drugs are cheaper, more widely used, of better quality, in higher demand and easier to purchase since the war on drugs began. So what does the war on drugs accomplish besides increasing gang power and violence? I'm glad Webb is apparently looking into the facts.

likes this

was the writer of this article high when it was written?

Would you agree that there is a "lag time" between the effects of the first "hit" and subsequent "hits". For the experienced dope smoker, this may not be a problem because they may know whats comming and put down the bong.
Factor in a young first time teenager, trying to fit in with his or her experienced dope smoking buddies and add a spring break in Daytona Beach florida.
Add a little first time alchohol and some girls gone wild and next thing you know, this first timer is attempting to climb from balcony to balcony at a beachfront hotel.
I spent three years in Daytona beach florida, went to college at Embry Riddle, every spring for the three years I was there it happened in the same way. Honor student falls to death, drugs and alchohol involved.
I never said dont legalize, I see the merits in that. I was only stating a fact that the pot these days is dangerous.

"Why would a Republican conservative, opposed to abuse of government power, government intrusion into personal behavior and restriction of commerce, be opposed to marijuana legalization?"

Republicans pay lip service to notions like individual liberty and self-determination. But it's the Party's social conservatives who are really calling the square dance, and they have no problem using the boot of government to enforce their puritanical values.

There's really only one problem with legalization, the stuff these days is dangerously strong.

Don't be so defensive, it is a fact, the pot these days is dangerously strong.

"the stuff these days is dangerously strong."

More potent...yes. Dangerously strong...give me a break! Please, sir, enlighten us all on how dangerously strong the stuff is these days. Are people ODing off of marijuana? Are people smoking it and getting so messed up that they harm others? I think that statement is absurd.

Legalize it, don't criticize it! End this ridiculous drug war! Save our economy by legalizing the plant which causes no harm.

:-) Thanks!

It's about time. It's ridiculous that it is still classified as Schedule 1 in this time and place.

When's the last time you heard about someone getting stoned and then beating their wife or girlfriend or making an ass out of themselves in public and not remembering it? Doesn't happen. This stuff is definitely no worse for you than booze. Legalize it. Tax it. Move on.

And further, crozetette, I don't smoke it now, haven't in the past, nor have any real desire to in the future.

So put that in your pipe, and... well, you know the rest.

MIKEY MIKEY MIKEY Try it you'll like it !!!!!!

@ Ken Jamme

I'm not being defensive. I would like for you to back up that statement. Where are you getting these "facts"?

WTF a republican for a liberal idea. Michael your 1 in a million

Republicans for marijuana decriminalization!

Here's another conservative vote for legalization.

Why would a Republican conservative, opposed to abuse of government power, government intrusion into personal behavior and restriction of commerce, be opposed to marijuana legalization? We can either continue the failed war on drugs and guarantee the opportunity for profit to organized crime, or we can legalize and tax it. Expansion of commerce is a Republican standard, do we want the profits to go to organized crime and foreign criminal organizations or to struggling farmers and families in the U.S.A.?

durtburglar - I agree with you, and that is why I posted my argument as a question. There is a lot of "speaking with forked tongue" by republicans, I was always incensed by W's purely rhetorical use of the word "freedom". I, as a conservative, would like to see the Republican party move toward a more honest enactment of their principals of limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise, and in my opinion a realistic analysis of the "war on drugs" is in order.

ken, hashish has been made for a very long time. it was very easy to obtain back in the 70's and 80's when its importation helped to fund "freedom fighters" in afghanistan as we called them back then.

it would take a lot of today's weed, the stuff you call "dangerously potent" to add up to the power of a moderately sized chunk of halfway decent hashish from back then. no one was overdosing from that when it was readily available, and no one is overdosing from today's weed either.

people smoke until they get the buzz they're comfortable with. all that powerful smoke means is that instead of smoking 3 or 4 joints of low grade mexican weed like we did in jr. high, today's pothead saves his lungs by smoking a single bong hit of a high quality and professionally grown agricultural product which in many cases comes from his hometown or at least somewhere not far away.

C'ville Native - the answer is Reefer Madness II starring Nancy Grace

The nation's boldest "exponent" of decriminalization? I also believe in decriminalization, but please folks, don't let your buzz interfere with the primary duties of your job, especially if your job involves producing coherent sentences.

THE FEARLESS CONSUMER- Getting snippy: Yard work dispute raises tempers

"She got all bent out of shape," says Doug Taylor; he's talking about the reaction he got when he explained to Young Hahn on October 29 why he hadn't finished the work she and her husband had paid him to do in late September. And because of her attitude, he says, he had declined to complete the job in the weeks that followed.

When I called Taylor on January 17 to chat about Hahn's situation and why she might be a bit– ah, testy– he mainly seemed indignant that she had pressed him to either do the work or give them a refund. The Hahns had signed a contract with Taylor (who does business as Eddie's Tree and Landscaping) on September 20 to have three pine trees removed, a maple tree trimmed, and a garden bed mulched.

The contract, which came to $1,400, includes this statement: "Date of work to be done 9/21/06." According to Hahn, Taylor instead showed up on the 22nd, cut down two of the pines, trimmed and sprayed the maple, and– saying he would return to take out the third pine tree and mulch the bed– asked for and received a $1,000 check for the balance due. Both sides agree that he never returned to finish the job.

Hahn claims she called Taylor "several" times after that, but mainly had to leave messages on his cell phone. Then came the fateful October 29 conversation, during which, she says, he told her that it was "too hot" to do the work. Presumably that was when she adopted the attitude he found so offensive. Taylor says she demanded that he come the next day. Hahn denies this, and claims he promised to come the following week. In any case, he never showed up.

Hahn filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau on November 3, but Taylor declined to respond to the organization's letters. "Since we have exhausted our resources," the BBB wrote Hahn on December 28, "we must now close your complaint as ‘no company cooperation.'"

When I asked for an explanation of his nonperformance, Taylor offered several excuses; the main one was a "big storm" that had put him behind in his schedule. I said I couldn't recall such a major storm anytime lately, and he said it had been a one-day thunderstorm. Throughout our conversation, he returned to Hahn's having gotten "bent out of shape" as his reason for abandoning the job.

In the end, he promised to finish the work the weekend of January 20– then failed to show up. Hahn may be headed next for Albemarle General District Court; stay tuned for an update.

Third time's a charm

Last fall I reported on the struggle Sara Anderson was having with For The Floor over her bill for wall-to-wall carpeting: The installers had splashed a mystery liquid on some curtains and part of the carpet, and from late May until late September, Anderson and For The Floor owner Jack Ostowski wrangled over her bill ["On the carpet," October 19]. In the end, Ostrowski told me he would honor an earlier offer to reduce Anderson's bill by $250, and I ended the column with his promise.

As I reported in my end-of-2006 wrap-up, however ["How not to," December 21], nothing happened: Anderson continued to get bills for the $250 balance– plus interest. I called Ostrowski on January 4, and he promised to make sure the account was zeroed out. This time, I told him, I wouldn't put it in print till I heard from Anderson.

She emailed last week to say that, at long last, Ostrowski had made the adjustment.

Wet threat: Out, out, damp spots!

Larry Sambrook

Certified Indoor Environmentalist of Airflow Diagnostics Institute, LLC

Q: I read all about mold problems in a recent issue of The Hook. What can I do to safeguard my own house against moisture intrusion? How can I tell if I already have a problem?–Dampened Spirit

A: Moisture intrusion is a year-round problem that can strike anywhere, but it's typically worse in the summer because of the increased humidity.

If you have a crawl space, the best way to prevent moisture problems is to make sure it's properly protected from water. The crawl space is the space between the ground and your house. (Houses with basements don't have one.) The crawl space should contain overlapping layers of plastic, taped at the seams and glued to the wall of the house.

Moisture can invade your home whenever there's dirt in the crawl space (which is almost always). For an average 1200-sq.-ft. house, about 13 gallons of moisture vapor per day seep up from the ground, no matter the house's location. The moisture in the crawl space then gets into wood, causing mold and wood deterioration.

Another element to consider when you're dealing with moisture intrusion is poor heating and air conditioning. These air systems have supplies and returns. Supplies provide the cool air coming into the house, and returns push the inner air out. Without enough returns, the house will gradually pull humidity in through the walls. A homeowner should have a return in every room, with the exception of the kitchen and the bathroom.

You can tell if you have a moisture intrusion problem if the air inside your house feels damp or if you spot any mold growth. Good places to check are the grilles on the air vents of your home and the walls of the bathroom.

If you've confirmed that you have a mold problem and you're unable to remedy it with the suggestions listed above, it's time to call a professional. Although costs vary depending on the size of the house and the seriousness of the problem, a professional should be able to perform a whole house dehumidification for a 2500-sq.-ft. house for $4000-4500. This procedure involves using air to push out on the walls of the house from the inside. Ideally, a building should be positively pressurized or neutral so that it's not sucking humidity through the walls.

This problem is a common yet serious one. Although a healthy adult may not immediately be affected, mold can be detrimental to the health of small children whose respiratory systems are still developing, anyone on chemotherapy, and elderly inhabitants. Resulting medical issues can range from asthma to cancer.

Damage to the home can be severe, as well. If it gets to the point where the wood has over 28 percent moisture content, it will begin to rot, eventually causing the house to collapse.

Although there are 1.2 million different molds, the treatment for all of them is the same: remove the moisture on which they thrive. It's a straightforward procedure, but an important one if you're experiencing moisture intrusion.

Belly Button Infection After Tummy Tuck? (photo)

It's been 3 weeks since my TT. I have noticed an increase in swelling in the past few days and noted discharge in my belly button Monday. It has since been crusted and discharge has been present. It has been much more sore and I feel like it is protruding more than previously. Is it infected? Should I go back to my PS sooner than the 11th (my next scheduled appointment)?

Swelling can make the navel look very strange for a few weeks after an abdominoplasty

Swelling of the navel can cause it to look very strange for a while after an abdominoplasty. It might look a bit like a cauliflower until the swelling subsides.

Question Tummy Tuck Belly Button Infection, See Your Surgeon

Thank you for your question. It is important to be examined by the surgeon who performed her tummy Tuck and I would call the office and see him soon and not wait on your later appointment.

From your photographs I do see redness but do not see anything that would suggest an infection.

However discharge and the feelings that you described could be a sign of infection and it is important that you see your surgeon to make sure you are ok.

Belly Button Infection After Tummy Tuck?

This cannot be diagnosed from the photo alone. Call your surgeon, who after asking a few questions can decide if you should be seen early, or if care can be started based on the conversation. This is an appropriate reason to call. Best wishes.

Rhinoplasty on 17 July - Dundee, Scotland

Hello all, I've been following this site for a...

Hello all,

I've been following this site for a wee while and it's been a source of useful information and reassurance to me. Now that my rhinoplasty op is just a few days away I'd like to return the favour and participate.

I've only told three people about my upcoming op - my boyfriend, a close friend and my dad. All have said, "You don't need a nose job. I didn't even know the size of your nose bothered you that much!" Yup, they haven't ever heard me moan about my nose, because I've kept my hatred for my nose private for the last 18 years.

I remember the moment that I first became aware that my nose was on the large side - a friend commented on it in the school library when I was 14 years old. Funny how these moments stick in your mind! That was 18 years ago and I still remember the embarassment! I've had a few negative nose-related comments from people over the years since then. These have mainly been flyaway comments...nothing deliberately cruel, but still, these comments make me cringe and feel ugly and self conscious. I hate my nose so much - it's so unfeminine and horrid. I can't even participate in a conversation about noses because I feel that everyone is thinking about my nose and is about to say something that will really embarass and upset me!! I want to stop feeling like this!

I do forensic work for the Police and that means I'm meeting new people every day - both within the Police service and the public. I also sing in a rock/pop covers band so am regularly performing on stage in pubs and at parties and weddings. Everytime I meet new people I feel like they are just focussing on my nose instead of the great fingerprint I just found at a crime scene, or the fact I managed to hit the high note in Livin' On A Prayer!

I often dreamed of having a nose-job but I never imagined in a million years that I would ever have the money to do it. Well I recently paid off my massive student loans and have been saving like mad so I finally have the money to do it!

I'm well aware that having a nicer looking nose will not make my life perfect - I've had to work hard for everything I've got, and I'll have to keep working hard. But I'm willing to pay for the experience of improved confidence, peace of mind and self-esteem that a rhinoplasty can give.

I'll upload a couple of my pre-op photos - forgive the lack of make up and horrid hair!

Surgeon Consultation and Pre-Op at BMI Fernbrae Hospital, Dundee

OK folks, I'm now at about 80 hours post surgery but just going back in time for a wee minute to explain what was planned for my surgery!

Following the advice of other RealSelfers, I did my research before meeting my surgeon for the first time (on 15.04.13) so that I could explain to him exactly what I wanted to change about my nose. Good thing I did, because although I've hated my nose forever, I didn't actually know what I didn't like about it, which would have made me look really unprepared and a bit silly in a consultation. As I learned more about different noses and different rhinoplasty techniques and what was possible, I was able to tell him that I felt my nose was too big for my face and projects too far out. I also felt my tip was too bulbous and my nostrils too large. My main objective was to have a nose that was proportionate to the rest of my face and that looked feminine. We discussed the options and he said he could perform a reduction rhinoplasty. This is what he proposed:

"The reduction rhinoplasty will require an overall global reduction in dorsal and tip projection to maintain congruity with reduction in the nasal spine to reduce the obtuse nasolabial angle. Bulbosity can only be reduced by performing a standard tip plasty involving a cephalic rim strip which runs the risk of increasing upward rotation (i.e. miss piggy!), however there are counter measures with respect to the septoplasty and nasal spine reduction that can counteract this".

Ermmmm...to put it a bit more simply, it's basically it's a rhinoplasty, septoplasty and turbinate reduction to bring my nose into proportion with the rest of my face!

Mr. White was very clear that rhinoplasty is about improvement, not perfection. I asked him if he could produce digital morphs of my nose and he said that he did not offer this service as given the huge number of variables in the healing process, morphs aren't representative of the final outcomes... I also asked him to show me examples of his work and he said he couldn't because of patient confidentiality! Grrrrr...I was starting to doubt him at this point. Then he told me that 10% of his clients request a revision rhinoplasty, mainly due to the fact they haven't seen a significant enough change in their nose. He admitted that he would rather 'under-cook' a rhinoplasty because he has immense respect for the structure of the nose and will favour function and structure over the aesthetic result demanded by the patient. As soon as he said that I KNEW he was the surgeon for me. Yes I want to change the shape of my nose but I don't want to do anything that may compromise the function of my nose! So to me personally, it made more sense to choose a reputable ENT surgeon. I did not feel the need to meet with any other consultants after this.

Also I knew that a significant part of Mr. White's work is to undertake revision rhinoplasty for patients who have had bad outcomes from other surgeons. This is a doctor that I knew I could trust putting a scalpel (and file and chisel) to my face!!!

Mr. White pencilled me in his diary for July 17th and I set about getting some time off work. He'd said that I would need about 4 weeks off from singing to make sure I heal properly so I had to cancel a couple of gigs :/

I paid £120 ($180) for my initial consultation and then had a second consultation (£60 / $90) a month later. The second consultation was a bit unnecessary as Mr. White was more or less checking that I had done all the rhinoplasty research he had asked me to and that I was still sure about going through with it - which I was after the first one! Never mind...at least I'd had my time off approved at work - I managed to get 3 weeks off due to the way my shifts worked out, so I figured this would be enough time to recover, rest and get back on my feet after the surgery before being launched into the whirlwind of crime scene work.

I then had an excrutiating 2 month wait for my Pre-Op with a nurse on 10th July (the week before the surgery). It was very straightforward - just checking my height, weight, blood-pressure, medical history, and a blood sample was taken. As I walked out of the building I had butterflies in my stomach thinking that the next time I would be here would be the day of the surgery! Eeeeekk!

And that butterflies feeling stayed with me nearly every minute of each day in the week leading up to the surgery. I was definitely more nervous than excited - just really anxious about the thought of having the surgery and how challenging the recovery period might be. During the night I would wake up in a bit of a panic and reach for my phone to have a read through the Real Self reviews to calm myself down!! Just reading everyone's stories reminded me that I totally wanted to go through with this procedure, so thank you everyone for giving me the support and re-assurance that I needed!

The First 72 Hours Post-Op - Right Profile

Right profile from before surgery to 72 hours post-op

First 72 hours post-op...Left Profile

Left profile from before surgery to 72 hours post-op

First 72 hours post-op...from the front (yuk!)

A few views from the front...horrible!

Made it through to the other side...

I had hoped to be able to update this each day after surgery. However, for the first 72 hours I've been pretty weak, woozy and lethargic, choosing to entertain myself watching the entire first season of Cougar Town instead of checking in with you guys. Forgive me!! Seriously though, I did not expect to be feeling so tired for so long - I haven't been able to lift anything heavier than a cup of tea for the last few days (can't even hold a book up).

I'll provide a more detailed update later, but the brief points from my experience so far are:

1) I was totally freaking out the whole week leading up to the surgery, just so nervous about the whole thing. I was almost certain that just as they were starting to administer the anaesthetic I would leap out of the bed and run out of the building, shouting 'leave my nose alone, you bastards!' However at the last minute I decided to just man up, put my trust in my surgeon, anaesthetist and the theatre team and let them do their job. And I'm so glad I did!

2) Other than some very mild pressure discomfort on my nose for the first couple of hours after surgery, I've had NO pain whatsoever. However, I've hardly had any sleep, as my nose is blocked, I'm breathing through my mouth and my throat is incredibly dry, leading me to wake up in the middle of the night gasping and in a wee bit of panic. The recovery has been very similar to having a bad cold, except you can't blow the boogers outta your nose :P

3). My boyfriend has been AMAZING by waiting on me hand and foot since the moment I came out of surgery. I simply could NOT have got through this week without him.

4). 48 hours post-op has definitely been the low point of my recovery. For the first time in my life I passed out and it was a truly horrible experience. Thankfully my boyfriend was there to take me to the doctor's (turns out my blood pressure is just a bit low after the surgery, and I just need to rest more). And THANKFULLY I did not hit my nose.

So am now taking things very easy, just getting up and moving around in slow motion.

Now it is about 80 hours post-op and I am feeling so much better. My breathing is better, my swelling has gone down and I have more energy.

4 weeks post-op

Useless - Melbourne, Australia

In an effort to remove a stubborn pot belly and handles I gave LD a go. I am active sport wise and have little other fat of concern. I'm mid 40's. After the text book bruising, swelling and soreness, all returned to normal.

I was advised that improvements would continue over 3-6 months. NOTHING! Not a change. Around 12 months later went back to the (Melbourne) Dr for appraisal. He seemed surprised and provided a second round at no charge. Very good of him I thought. Now around 12 months after that second round, NOTHING, no improvment. Save your money, don't bother.

Name not provided

Basically, the Dr was nice as pie. But the procedure didn't work.

The King of Eyes - Nashville, TN

Nashville Oculoplastic Surgeon

I was referred by a receptionist at another physicians office. Dr. Biesman fixed an eyelid problem that three plastic surgeons told me could never be corrected. I had given up hope until I made an appointment for a consult. He was very thoughtful, listened to everything I and to say, and assured me that he could help improve my situation. The procedure was uneventful and completely SUCCESSFUL!. He truly is an outstanding physician and I, without a doubt, highly recommend him.

Body Lift in Stages - Rochester, NY

I am currently 6 days out from having the first...

I am currently 6 days out from having the first part of my body lift. In January, I had an arm lift, in April, I had a long Thigh Lift.

The background: I'm in my mid 50's, currently weigh 138 pounds (5'6"). My high weight was about 325. I lost the weight thru diet and exercise and have maintained this weight for a while. About 8 years ago, I had a standard Tummy Tuck with muscle repair. That surgery was done when I weighed 170-175.

I now have the time to complete the body work I feel I need. My PS does not combine procedures or flip patients during surgery, so we decided to remove my excess abdominal skin now and have planned to lift the sides and back portion in December.

My surgery, last week went well. I did not hesitate to agree to a vertical incision, for me, it's more about how a look in clothes and my old TT scar faded without issue.

I'm thrilled with what I'm seeing, now that I can see my torso. I will post a few post op photos soon, but I wanted to get the review started as it is hard to find many reviews with vertical skin removal.

First look, after drain removal and switch to Stage 2 CG

I'm thrilled with the new contours of my torso!

One week out and jeans fit

My little sister is taking me out for lunch today. I thought I would throw a loose dress on but decided to try jeans and they zipped without problems.

I'm wearing a compression tank under my tank top and will throw either a T or a jacket on when we leave. I'm swollen, but I love the curviness that is emerging.

I also noticed that the upper section of my incision is right on the mark up lines but the section below the BB is beyond them, my PS did pull that tighter than we thought he could.

Ten days out and measurements are back to pre op

My waist is back to 27", hips back to 37".

I love the newfound curviness that this surgery gave me. The incisions are healing well, most of the glue has come off and the marks from the surgical bandages have stopped itching and started to hade.

My energy level is up, I've been walking a lot but don't feel ready to take the dogs. I'm sleeping through the night without a problem.

In my photos, you can barely make out my original TT scars. The flesh above them is a little more padded than below, but once I have the second stage of this lift, they should smooth out a lot. Also, I'm surely swollen more now above that scar.

Looking and feeling better each day

Two weeks PO today. No pain, some swelling and able to function with very few limits. The incision looks good and it only aches when I cough or sneeze, but if know that will continue for a few more weeks.

My BB is a little oozy but I'm cleaning it a few times a day.

My waist is still 27, but my hips are now 36" and my size 4 jeans are falling off. I'm sleeping in a Marena CG that comes up to the ribs but wearing Maidenform shapers (the kind that allow you to wear your own bra and hook at the crotch) during the day and I think this is helping with the swelling.

I'm vowing not to buy anymore clothing until the backside of me is lifted in December because I think I will need new jeans then.

3 weeks, itchy but happy

The swelling comes and goes, but that is to be expected. My incisions look good, but the skin around them is very itchy. I will step up the moisturizing.

I have been a little more active this week, but not overdoing it. Sleep has become easier and getting in and out of bed is about the only time I feel the MR.

It's nice to see my BB healing.

Very pleased

I'm very pleased with my continued healing. The swelling is improving and my energy level is near normal.

I will be having the further lift of the hips and backside sometime in November or December, so I'm going to use the next few months to settle into a renewed exercise routine as I let everything heal.

I am really pleased with my new BB because I was warned that it may not heal well since it was redone poorly in my previous TT. So far, the incision around it has closed and it's starting to contract nicely. The mole that is next to it used to be 5" away, it's amazing that my PS was able to remove so much skin.

The vertical incision continues to smooth itself out and is no longer visible thru clothing.

NAR Submits Comments on Draft Water Report

The EPA and the Corps of Engineers have released a draft scientific report In support of an anticipated proposed rule that would purport to regulate all waters of the U.S.  The draft scientific report, titled  “Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands to Downstream Waters: A Review and Synthesis of the Scientific Evidence” is a compilation of independent peer-reviewed scientific literature that when finalized, is intended to provide the scientific basis for the agencies to clarify their regulatory jurisdiction over all waters of the U.S.

NAR, working closely with industry partners as part of the Waters Advocacy Coalition, has submitted comments to EPA refuting the conclusions of the report and ctitiquing the report's flawed methodology. NAR is also working with the Coalition to conduct an economic imapct analysis of the proposed regulation.

The agencies could issue a final version of the Draft Study and publish a draft rule in the Federal Register in early 2014.

K'ville wrestling drops first conference match

WILLITS -- The Willits Wolverines handed the Kelseyville Knights their first wrestling loss of the season, 48-27, in a Coastal Mountain Conference tri-meet involving Middletown on Wednesday night in Willits.

Kelseyville, Willits and Lower Lake are all 6-1 with one tri-meet remaining. Fort Bragg is 7-0. Fort Bragg hosts Kelseyville and Lower Lake next Wednesday.

"They beat us up," Kelseyville coach Rob Brown said of the Wolverines.

The Knights had to forfeit three weight classes, giving Willits an 18-0 lead out of the gate.

"It's hard to recover from that," Brown said. "They dominated us. They've got every weight class filled with extra guys. They clearly beat us."

The Knights edged Middletown 32-27 to earn a split in the meet. Two of the better matches were at 115 pounds, where Middletown's Mar-lon Salonga avenged an earlier loss to Luis Garcia with a 10-9 victory, and at 126 pounds, where Kelseyville's Tiko Landa beat James Crayne 6-3.

Loop H Closure: 4/3/15 - The Hatchery Loop (“H Loop”) of La Wis Wis Campground is going to be available on a “To Be Determined” first-come, first-served basis for the 2015 season. We are working with the Forest Service to clear the area of a phellinus infestation (tree-root-rot). Once the Forest Service has allowed us to open the H Loop, campers should be advised there will be large piles of debris in the area – these piles must be left alone or it can result in delays and possible fire restrictions for the remainder of the season. We apologize for any inconvenience.

La Wis Wis Campground, WA

part ofGifford Pinchot National Forest, US Forest Service
Status: Open through Mon Sep 28 2015   Season Dates

Situated at the confluence of three waterways near Mount Rainier, La Wis Wis is nestled under a canopy of towering Douglas firs and red cedars. The handful of sites that dot the riverbank enjoy the most sunshine.

With an abundance of activities nearby, La Wis Wis is a popular destination for long-stay camping. Its proximity to Mount Rainier National Park makes it an excellent base for exploring all of the area's natural wonders.

Natural Features:

Located in southwest Washington State, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest encompasses 1.3 million acres and includes the 110,000-acre Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, established by Congress in 1982.

La Wis Wis is located in the Tatoosh Wilderness area of the Cowlitz Valley Ranger District. The campground sits where the Ohanapecosh River, Cowlitz River and Purcell Creek meet.

The campground features old-growth forest and opportunities to observe a variety of wildlife.

Hikers can easily access the Blue Hole Trail and Purcell Falls Trail from La Wis Wis.

Anglers can fish for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and whitefish at either Butter Creek or Skate Creek.

La Wis Wis is ideal for tents, car campers and truck campers with a slide-in. The Hatchery Loop sites can accommodate RVs, but navigation through other parts of the campground may be difficult due to narrow roadways and large trees.

The campground features 122 sites, including walk-in tent camping. Both vault and flush toilets are available. Picnic tables, picnic shelters and grills are provided.

Drinking water is available on-site at the main part of the camp. Campers staying at the Hatchery Loop need to bring potable water or get water at the main site.

Nearby Attractions:

La Wis Wis is located near the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park. The popular Henry M Jackson Memorial Visitor Center at Paradise within Mount Rainier National Park is 28 miles away.

Mayer Hawthorne Mayer Hawthorne

Media Candy has the best in downloadable and streamable sweetness -- every Tuesday.

This week, Mayer Hawthorne and AM & Shawn Lee all have new videos floating around the web, while Flying Lotus protégé Thundercat drops the half-hour mix “Shenanigans Pt. 1.” Meanwhile, Beirut streams their new album and Justice shares from deets from their upcoming album, “Audio, Video, Disco.”

Mayer Hawthorne Dances Through Time

The nostalgia-drenched video for Mayer Hawthorne’s “A Long Time” has hit the cyber waves. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the after school dance show, here’s your answer.

The old footage -- taken from Highland Park Channel 68’s “The New Dance Show” hosted by R.J. Watkins -- is buried in some archival library somewhere in Detroit until a dude like Hawthorne comes along and says, “Dust that shit off. Let’s make a video!” Public disclaimer to all -- there is a whole lot of overdosing on hairspray, funky dance moves and regrettable fashion choices in this video.

The track is taken from Hawthorne’s upcoming sophomore release “How Do You Do,” set to hit shelves this fall.

Until then, download / stream Hawthorne’s fantastic covers EP, “Impressions,” below.

[Download and stream via Rolling Stone]

Thundercat Goes Solo (Sort Of)

Thundercat, otherwise known as Stephen Bruner, is a 26-year-old bass whiz kid who has been called the future of the instrument. This guy is as diversified as bass players can be -- he tours with the hardcore punk band Suicidal Tendencies, records/tours with Erykah Badu and he’s established himself as a certified protégé of Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder camp.

null Thundercat

In an interview with last May, Flying Lotus teased us with the details surrounding Thundercat’s debut record, “The Golden Age of Apocalypse.” We’ve had a listen of the album and Flying Lotus wasn’t messing around -- this thing is like nothing we’ve ever heard. It’s IDM. It’s dubstep -- but overall, it is heavily influenced by the world of experimental jazz and underground hip-hop.

Now we can all enjoy another tease from Brainfeeder entitled “Shenanigans Pt. 1,” a prelude to the LP that was mixed by Flying Lotus and highlights “some new [tracks], some you might know, some [tracks] we may never release.

[Stream / download via Brainfeeder]

Beirut Extend Tour, Steam New Album

Fresh off a headlining gig at Lollapalooza 2011, Beirut is announcing that they’ll be extending their US tour even more. The kids just can’t get enough of these worldly indie players. Fair enough -- their first album in four years, “The Rip Tide,” is due August 30 courtesy of Beirut’s own Pompeii Records. But the kids couldn’t even keep their pants on through the month of August! The whole thing is streaming over at NPR. If you haven’t gotten tickets already, find out when Beirut is trumpeting through your town and stream “Sante Fe” below.

null Beirut

[Stream via Soundcloud]

Justice Share Details From Highly Anticipated “Audio, Video, Disco”

How much longer must we wait until we hear new music from the French duo Justice? Hey, not much longer at all! This morning, Justice announced that their highly anticipated sophomore release “Audio, Video, Disco” will be shared with the electro-hungry world on October 25 courtesy of Ed Banger Records (the home of Busy P, DJ Medhi, Krazy Baldhead and more). It’s, like, a really big deal to finally hear this news. We’re still shitting our pants of their ’07 debut.

The album was recorded in the group’s home studio with all instrumentation coming from the duo (take that, licensing fees!). A chosen few provide vocals including Morgan Phelan of Diamond Nights, Vincenzi Vendetta of Midnight Juggernauts and UK pop singer Ali Love. A lengthy interview with the group can be read over at Pitchfork.

AM & Shawn Lee Take You For A Minimalist Drive

Don’t beat yourself up over not immediately recognizing the name AM & Shawn Lee. They’ve got a ways to go before becoming a household name, but this video and single should help quite a bit. Behold the stripped down “Dark Into Light.” Directed by Christian Borstlap and animated by Paul Postma and Rens Wegerif, the clip is like a lost Windows 95 screensaver taking you for a late night drive.

In addition to performing a handful of upcoming dates with Thievery Corporation, the duo is preparing their debut LP “Celestial Electric” for a September 6 release. To tide you over, enjoy a worldly DJ set from AM or check out a behind-the-scenes video from the group.

Mattias Ekstrom blog 210712

Mattias Ekstrom reflects on the path ahead and his first victory of the season at DTM’s show event in Munich’s Olympic Stadium.

Last week was a really busy one. The focus was obviously on Munich but before that I had a couple of days in Austria at the Red Bull Ring. I was doing an event called ‘Go with a Pro’, a driving school course where I spent some time with the people on the course which was a lot of fun. After that I drove down to Munich for the event in the Olympic Stadium.

Our DTM show event has been likened to the end-of-season Race of Champions but it really isn’t quite like that – DTM cars aren’t made for racing around a tight temporary track within a stadium and there isn’t really that much we can do to adapt them, so it’s a case of making the best of what we have. I think the organizers learnt from last year because the layout was definitely better this time around. It was simpler track, without the dangerous corners we saw in 2011 and we didn’t have the big crashes.

It was great feeling to win. There are no points on offer – which is something you have to bear in mind when you’re celebrating – but the reason we decided to become racing drivers it to win things, to spray the champagne and to take the applause. Last week I said I didn’t mind what happens because there aren’t any points on offer and it isn’t a serious competition. Having won I’d qualify that (!) and say that it’s a boost to the confidence – and it doesn’t matter where your confidence comes from, it’s good to have it. And not just for me – it’s good for the team as well. It shows the car is making progress.

null© GEPA Pictures/Dutch Photo Agency/Diederik van der Laan

I think the car was key to our success in Munich. The driver’s job is to be precise on the lines and get the braking points right – but everyone in DTM knows how to drive. I think we had an advantage in having a car that was a little bit better, and we found a setup with which I was comfortable – and ultimately that made the difference.

This week is a little bit quieter. I’m at Hockenheim today to watch F1 practice, and tomorrow I’m going to the Audi factory for a tour. Next week we’re back in the car for a test at Magny Cours in France. It’s a group test with all the manufacturers present. Why are we at Magny Cours? I guess somebody wanted a test at the end of the world – and maybe Knockhill in Scotland wasn’t available. It’ll be good.

It’s probably useful to have a test with some time either side without a race to concentrate on. The car is good now but I feel we still need to find a little more from it and it’s easier to do that when you have the time to do proper analysis. When there’s racing it’s stress and action and not really the right place to calmly take stock of what you have and what you need to find.

I think we’re in good shape though. I’m confident that we’re going to be able to repeat what happened last year where we came good in the second half of the season and put everything together to win races.

Man arrested after drugs warrant executed in Redditch

First published in Local

A MAN was arrested after a drugs warrant was executed in Redditch.

Police officers went to a house in Forge Mill Road on Wednesday, February 5 after obtaining a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

They discovered a quantity of what is believed to be cannabis, along with scales and bags.
A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply, and has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Sergeant Richard Field of West Mercia Police said: “Drug dealing is a high priority for us, and as part of that, we welcome all information provided by the public.

“In September we launched a new three-year drug strategy designed to tackle the impact of drugs on communities.

“A key component is the reduction of supply and demand achieved through the identification and dismantling of trafficking and dealer networks, and the warrant executed in Forge Mill Road is an example of this.

“We will continue to execute drugs warrants and other operations in order to disrupt the activity of drug dealers, and want to encourage people to pass on any suspicions or concerns they have.

“They can contact police directly by ringing the non-emergency number 101 or ring the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. We take all reports seriously, investigate them thoroughly and if appropriate act on the information provided.”

Advice: I hate it when my boyfriend cries

I feel like a jerk about this but I can’t stand it when my boyfriend cries. What do I do?-- Don’t Cry Me A River

You “can’t stand it” because it makes you feel upset and helpless, or you “can’t stand it” because he’s a dude and we all know the only fluid manly men are allowed to leak is of a southern variety (and I don’t mean cheesy grits!)?

I hope it’s the former because good god, let men cry! They already can’t hug each other without being called homophobic slurs (unless it’s in a sports context--after beating on each other for hours, they are allowed a few tepid butt slaps), the least we can do as humanity is let them have an iota of an emotion on occasion. Would you rather he punch a hole in the wall instead? Is that more of an acceptable male response?

Despite our cultural prevalence for the tough, tearless man, science and biology are firmly on the side of saline. Suppressing the urge to cry can trigger physiological changes that lead to worse ailments, such as high blood pressure. Also, a study published in the journal Psychology of Men & Masculinity found that football players who cried about game outcomes reported higher levels of self-esteem as opposed to their stoic, dry-eyed counterparts.

It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a healthy and natural bodily response, like sweating. Granted, you didn’t elaborate much on the circumstances of your boyfriend’s weeping. If he has long-term, crippling anxiety or is incessantly crying over menial things like “Celebrity Ghost Stories” or the less riveting Taster’s Choice coffee commercials, deeper problems are probably at stake, and he probably needs to get to a therapist pronto. If he’s crying over Adele’s “Someone Like You,” that’s fine. That song is engineered to make us cry, fer real.

If your concern stems from genuinely not knowing how to help, then stay calm, resist the urge to try to “fix” anything the next time it happens, and focus on being comforting, nonjudgmental and empathetic, i.e. the way you expect to be treated when you cry. Let him cry if he needs to--who knows, maybe he’s been suppressing this shit for years and the faucet has finally burst.

And don’t forget to follow the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you when you have snot in your hair.

Danks gets it right

Cubs manager Dale Sveum helped out the White Sox, and John Danks did the rest on Saturday night.

The White Sox’s left-handed starter has had more trouble with left-handed hitters than righties this season. His confidence in throwing his changeup to lefties likely is the reason, but whatever the case, Danks entered the game getting hit at a .310 clip by lefties compared to .269 by righties.

Lefties also had a better on-base-plus-slugging percentage than righties against Danks, so the Cubs had a chance to go with their usual lineup, such as it is.

But no, Sveum started right-handed-hitting outfielders Reed Johnson, Jeff Baker and third baseman Joe Mather instead of Tony Campana, David DeJesus and Ian Stewart.

And nobody reached base until the Cubs had one out in the fifth.

Maybe it’s me, but this Cubs sabermetrics thing might need some work.

Sveum, though, wasn’t the only one helping Danks. A guy batting where Paul Konerko used to hit proceeded to hit like Konerko.

Entering this series when Konerko took a Jeff Samardzija pitch in the face Friday, Viciedo added a hit in two at-bats and made a strong throw from left to erase DeJesus at second base on the play where Gordon Beckham shouldered the Cubs leadoff hitter off the bag.

With Konerko sporting shades to hide the eggplant that used to be his left eye Saturday, Viciedo seemed to be the target in the cleanup spot. Cubs starter Ryan Dempster pitched as if anyone except No. 3 hitter Adam Dunn would have to beat him.

And Viciedo did.

After Dunn walked in his first two at-bats, Viciedo singled home a run in the first and then popped a two-run homer in the third for a 3-0 lead.

For a guy who didn’t look as if he had a spot in this series, Viciedo suddenly was taking it over.

What's more, Viciedo is hitting .478 with four homers and 10 RBIs in the last six games.

Danks, meanwhile, was perfect through 13 hitters. The Cubs failed to show much plate discipline early, requiring Danks to throw only 46 pitches in the first four innings.

After retiring Bryan LaHair to start the seventh, Danks was removed after just 83 pitches, having allowed no runs on three hits.

The decision by Sox manager Robin Ventura seemed curious. Danks was having the kind of game the Sox needed to see from him.

But then, Danks hadn’t won since April 22 and hadn’t made a start without giving up at least two earned runs this season, so maybe it wasn’t so curious after all.

Not as curious as the Cubs’ supposed march into the new math, anyway.

Out of interest, do you ever hit the 16 bit limit in the size of
compiled regexps?  The "bytecode" used to represent compiled GNU
regexps has (or perhaps had) a 16 bit limit in the jump offsets, which
I hit a few years back.  Had to switch to using a flex-compiled
pattern matcher in the end.
