Editor's Note: Off the 8's is a new WTOP Living feature, in which staff inside the Glass-Enclosed Nerve Center share stories from their lives when they're off the clock.
Hillary Howard, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - My dad died alone, face down on the beige pile carpet, his feet trapped beneath the bed frame. The scene is branded into my memory with a searing heat that draws tears. I envision his silver highlighted hair, his straight, strong nose and his Herculean hands, irresistibly powerful and thick. One of them sports a permanently placed gold ring, dedicated to my beautiful mother. And all I want to do is hold it. I imagine my mom would have wanted that, too. And at her bedside, along the metal rail, I silently vow she will not die without my hand around fingers. It was an oath I very humbly honored. Exactly one year ago.
Can you picture my mom? She was the prettiest in the neighborhood with a freckled Noxema Girl complexion and thin eyebrows that arched up and disappeared in unanswered questions. Her nose was a perfect ski slope that began between her brows and launched off an upturned tip into the most beautiful smile. It would lift her cheekbones impossibly higher and squeeze her bedroom eyelids into slits with crinkled bookends. Oh, those eyes. Impossibly forest green with deep, honey brown flecks that seemed to ignite when she was happy. Or mad. I miss them.
Last month, with my husband and son beside me on the winter cooled tile of our kitchen, I lit a short white candle that flickered in mom's memory on the stove. It burned for 24 hours. Each time the dancing flame caught my gaze, I spontaneously acknowledged mom with a slideshow of images that inflated a balloon of sadness where my heart beat.
There's the young mom with her dark hair swept up in a '60s sculpture, her face highlighted with a curving flourish of black eyeliner. There's morning mom, in dad's sail of a T-shirt making breakfast in our small suburban New York kitchen. There's mom in ponytails, a smile and green leotard, teaching fitness classes to a couple dozen women who jump, bend, stretch and secretly ask to be like her with each groaning gasp. But my favorite is mom at night; shiny, slippery and fragrant with a thick layer of Pond's cold cream on her smooth freckled skin. She would lean across our four bodies in the quilted darkness of bedtime and cover us in quick kisses that left a sheen of cream and love across our cheeks and foreheads. There were always 13 of them. I kiss my son the same way.
Nine years ago my mother partly died. A stroke strangled her limbs and ability to speak in understandable sentences. My mom, Lynne, now uttered lines of obscure and abstract poetry. Unraveling its meaning could be difficult, though sometimes it made sense. Once she blurted, "Oh honey, you look beautiful today." She was in a New York wheelchair and I on a Virginia telephone and couch. Mom probably meant I sounded good. Maybe she was just happy to hear me. I called every day; even when she stopped replying.
Over the years my mother receded into some deep place of memory and comfort. While it's impossible to know who she spoke to at night, my dad would sadly listen to the animated conversations she denied him and wonder how she could communicate so clearly in sleep. And she'd laugh. Wherever mom was, she was happy. But awake, the reality of her stolen life was too heavy to lift.
Two years can be a very long time. And I can't imagine how long the final two years of my mother's life were. Despite extraordinary care from our singularly devoted dad -- and an aide who loved her -- mom developed sores that ground her tired flesh into deep and rotting potholes. Her spiral of suffering painted dad's exhausted complexion. It made his heart hurt. And eventually, my father's innate optimism, inescapable laughter and steadfast belief that his wife would wake up, faded. He died of suffocating loneliness eight months before my mom.
In the days after dad died on the beige bedroom carpet, my mother kept calling his name. It was like she was testing this new reality, much as a toddler tests a word or name. Besides that, she barely spoke.
On the Thanksgiving before she died, my brother, sisters and I encircled mom's big bed with the humming mattress motor and wrapped her in old memories and endless hugs. When we clarified that all her kids were there, she pushed out two throaty words: "That's nice." I can still hear it and see her brilliant, beautiful smile. But when we left my sister's house that weekend, mom retreated to prison life. Stuck in her room, she stared at a blank ceiling or sat in a chair waiting to be fed. She was even denied the simple human pleasure of tasting her meals. Mom was now fed through a tube. She was ready to die.
It was one year ago when I put down the silver rail on mom's bed and crawled onto the shifting mattress designed to keep hungry sores from eating. The sheets were clean and pretty. That day, they were white and dotted with small pink flowers sprouting from little green stems. Mom was still conscious when I laid belly down and lifted my head to look squarely into her half-blind eyes.
For the first time in many years, mom looked squarely back. Her eyes were still a honey brown speckled forest green; her gaze unwavering and disarmingly honest. No pretense or decoration, now. Her beloved black eyeliner was long gone. But, she wouldn't look away.
I don't know what thoughts flickered behind those eyes that day, but I do know this. My mom was taking me in. Studying me so as not to forget? Was she comparing my face to the strawberry blonde who emerged from her in a Bronx hospital many decades ago? Or the girl she read books with on summer afternoons beneath the brown roofed porch? Or ate cherries with on her bed during a late night storm, promising thunder was the rumble of two clouds bumping? Or maybe it was my wedding day when dad inhaled short, loud cries in big gulps as she held his hand and herself together? Or all four of her kids romping through the house and testing her sanity? I cannot say and will never know.
When my mom closed her eyes for the final day's journey I slipped beneath the flower-dotted sheets and would not leave her side. Occasionally, I jumped up to trade a CD of '50s music for mom's favorite Italian singers. And I sang to her. I retold family stories about our legendary car trips to Florida, full of flat tires, sick kids, pink flamingos, Key West sunsets, fighting and fun. I retold stories from the extravagant Caribbean cruise she and dad probably went broke paying for, like the morning we pulled into St. Thomas and dad fingered something on the salt encrusted rail. Sparkling crystals around the words glowed sweetly in the early mango sunlight: "Don and Lynne."
That night, after sharing a lifetime of songs and stories, I nestled closer to my mother's broken body, softly stroked her forehead, memorized the ski slope of her nose and silently listened to the changing rhythms of her breath and heartbeat. I gently pried open her grip and once again held her fingers in my own. As dawn broke, I refused to let go, until she did. Quietly. With a last puff of air. And I kissed her.

Movement 1: Largo e staccato
Movement 2: Organo ad libitum
Movement 3: Andante
Movement 4: Grave
Movement 5: Allegro
The composer's autograph manuscript of the Organ Concerto No 14 in A major HWV296a is undated, but its paper-type suggests that he composed it in early 1739. Its first performance was probably on 20 March 1739, at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, an evening which also featured a revival of the ode Alexander's Feast. Unlike the context of most of his other organ concertos, Handel probably incorporated HWV296a within the narrative of the main entertainment. In earlier performances of Alexander's Feast, the recitative 'Timotheus, plac'd on high' had been followed by his Harp Concerto in B flat major (Op 4 No 6), which musically illustrated the text's reference to the minstrel Timotheus playing the lyre for Alexander the Great. However, the conducting score of the ode shows that at some point—presumably 1739—the end of the recitative was recomposed in order to allow a smooth transition to inserted music in A major, the key of the organ concerto. The music for this concerto seems to have pleased Handel, who reused all four of its main movements the following October for the eleventh of his 'Twelve Grand Concertos' Op 6. On this recording two sections—the ad libitum and the opening of the Grave—are improvised by the organist Richard Marlow.

Ground Level Ozone
How can I find ...?
Find Out More About...
What is Ozone?
Ground level or "bad" ozone is not emitted directly into the air, but is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight. Emissions from industrial facilities and electric utilities, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC. Learn more about ozone.
Ozone and Your Health
About 25 million people, including 7 million children, have asthma and over 12 million people report having an asthma attack in the past year. Breathing ozone can trigger a variety of health problems including chest pain, coughing, and throat irritation. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Ground level ozone also can reduce lung function and inflame the linings of the lungs. Repeated exposure may permanently scar lung tissue. Learn more about the health effects of ozone
Ozone and Ecosystems
Ground level ozone can have harmful effects on sensitive vegetation and ecosystems. Plant species that are sensitive to ozone and potentially at an increased risk from exposure include trees such as black cherry, quaking aspen, ponderosa pine and cottonwood. These trees are found in many areas of the country. These effects can also have adverse impacts on ecosystems, including loss of species diversity and changes to habitat quality and water and nutrient cycles. Learn more about the effects of ozone on ecosystems.
Actions to Reduce Ozone
There are actions every one of us can take to keep the air cleaner, and protect your health. The following guides will help you determine ways to protect your family's health when ozone levels reach the unhealthy range, and ways you can help reduce air pollution. Learn about the steps you can take.
Ozone: Good Up High, Bad Nearby
Ozone acts as a protective layer high above the earth, but it can be harmful to breathe. This publication provides basic information about ground level and high-altitude ozone.
Ozone and Your Patients' Health On-Line Training
(with CME credit available):
This is a short evidence-based course for health care providers that explains the physiological effects of ozone and ways people can reduce their exposure to ozone. It includes clinical scenarios and frequently asked questions to help counsel patients about ozone, asthma, and respiratory symptoms.
Why is Coco Orange?
Coco has a problem. He's a chameleon, but he can't change colors, and his asthma is acting up. Read how Coco and his friends solve this mystery as they learn about air quality and how to stay healthy when the air quality is bad. This book is for all children, especially those with asthma, and their caretakers. Ages 4-8.

Where can you go to find books? Books are available in so many places nowadays. Becoming very popular is an online book club plus yard sales, internet vendors, thrift stores, book shops and even your neighborhood library. Very popular for several reasons, the Book of the Month Club can be found online. Should you be undecided about where to head to find books, this is a detailed list outlining each location in addition to their benefits.
This is easily a win-win scenario. It truly is this easy. If you want to be described as a seller, you merely have to find sites that accept used books. You then simply advertise the books available for you and wait for the buyers to come knocking in your virtual door. Books usually are not even the only form of media that you can buy and then sell. When preparing to market your old books, be diligent on what the going price is for the books you have. You may not realize it, however you may have a masterpiece that's worth thousands gathering dust on the bookshelf and not getting read. If you are thinking about being a buyer, who knows? You may find a certain book that you've always wanted and also have something to pass down to your sons or daughters that will only grow in value as time passes.
The fiction stories are often based on the true to life experience of somebody. Many fiction books deliver social messages to those. There are many sub categories inside the fiction books like romantic fiction, action fiction, science fictions, relationship fiction books and many others. Romantic fiction books has tragic end with the story along with a bit of actions. These books have some of turn in their stories as well as the reader is not aware of that actually what will happen next. The readers get lost in other world with your fiction stories.
So what about digital? The iPad is designed for reading your digital comics. It beats your Kindle along with other eBook readers because, unless you're reading a graphic novel in B & W, then you want to see your comics in color. Duh!
The truth: I imagine it's hard for an editor to reject a manuscript that comes from somebody who has struggled with adversity and it is still determined to follow their lifelong dream about becoming a published author. The tough circumstances themselves fail against the writer (frequently they give rise to powerful stories) but an author's unique situation cannot outweigh less-than-stellar writing. What's around the page is the thing that matters one of the most. If your story is just too personal (it comes down to your life just as one adult, or perhaps you haven't extracted the universal feelings and crafted them into a story that'll be relevant to a large audience), the book simply won't sell inside the children's market. Again, learn what makes a quality children's book and get objective feedback in your manuscript. Remember, no one owes which you publishing credit even though you used your time to write a magazine. Writing is actually difficult work, and requirements self-education, practice, and persistence. There's no shame in putting aside a manuscript which simply won't sell and writing new things. Every published author includes a drawer packed with those, and enough rejection letters to wallpaper an office. So join the club? It's really worth the price of membership.
This avenue entails lots of writing, but being an author you might be pretty good at it and this ought to be a piece of cake, as it were. You can write articles which discuss the subject of the novel and are informative. You can consider excerpts from a work for inclusion. Even those individuals who want to talk about a different topic than their book touches can continue to use article marketing to their advantage. This can be easily created by including the connect to your work inside the author resource section which is provided by the article house.

Seeing a movie on a weekday is probably GREAT for a huge, new movie! Less crowds and less silly 14 year old girls (like the ones who were in our Friday night viewing of Hunger Games!)

You guys are too cute! And I also just read the poop story. Hilarious!! Seriously though, poop gets everywhere. You remember my church story right? And just last night I got the bath ready for Emily, put her on the couch to take her clothes off, and saw poop all over where she was put down. She had exploded. Then I had to find something to put her down on while I wiped off the couch, she rolled around (cuz she can do that now...) and got poop all over her foot, leg, me...anyway!! Poop is gross but you gotta deal with it, haha!!

San Francisco, CA – Safety is the top priority for America's natural gas utilities. The American Gas Association (AGA) represents more than 200 local energy utility companies that deliver natural gas to 177 million Americans nationwide and works everyday to promote a culture of safety amongst its members and their employees. AGA is recognizing 18 natural gas utility companies for achieving outstanding records for employee safety in 2011.
"America's natural gas delivery system is the safest, most reliable energy delivery system in the nation. This is due to the hard work and dedication of the employees of our local natural gas utilities. I want to commend all of our award recipients and thank these companies for being safety leaders in our industry," said Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of AGA.
AGA's annual Operations Conference is taking place today in San Francisco, CA with more than 800 attendees and 100 presentations on issues ranging from employee safety programs to advances in pipeline construction to regulatory compliance for pipeline safety.

Former Mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown will speak at the opening session in addition to President and COO, Utilities, Integrys Energy Group and AGA Chairman Larry Borgard and Executive Vice President of Gas Operations for PG&E Nick Stavropoulos.
The Safety Achievement Awards were given to member companies that experienced the lowest "DART" incident rate — a mathematical calculation that describes the number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time employees that resulted in days away from work or restricted work activity.
The Safety Achievement Award recipients are:

BOURBON — Comfort and ease of use are the goals as the Bourbon Public Library re-evaluates its role and methods.
Director Heather Barron said: "The library is changing to keep up with the needs of its patrons. We already have 10 computer stations in place for public use, several of which offer Microsoft Office and printing capabilities."
These stations are desktop units located on library tables. Usage on these stations is high.
"We are finding the need to re-evaluate space needs," she continued. Increased library usage in general is creating a space problem for the library. At the same time, surveys indicate that much of the computer usage is Internet access—shopping, email, Facebook, YouTube, Google+, Twitter, video chat, Google docs, etc. Only certain patrons or certain usages require an office suite or a computer printer.
Enter the new Chromebook computer at the library. The Chromebook is a notebook-size unit which is light, portable, and easily usable on a patron's lap as she sits in any of the library's comfortable chairs or sofas. It is fully Internet-accessible, and prior battery charging makes electrical cords unnecessary. In short, it is a unit designed to fit into a library patron's modern lifestyle.
The new unit was donated to the library, which is using it on a trial basis to assess patron needs. If warranted, future plans include replacing some of the space-eating desktop units with portable computers such as the Chromebook. The new unit must be checked out on a patron's library card, and must be used in the library. The Chromebook does not support CD usage, but a user may save information on his own memory device ("smart stick").
"The Bourbon Public Library is currently conducting a survey of patrons to determine future goals and directions," said Barron. "Rest assured," she continued, "that the Bourbon Library will continue to develop as patron needs arise, keeping the Bourbon area residents in touch with the modern world."

I just didn't expect a place called "Uncle Bob's" to be so nice...I was sort of expecting a tiny family owned thing.Alex from Hartland, WI
October 28, 2014
There was a customer ahead of me so I had to wait since there was only one representative at the facility. However, she was awesome!Denise from Peyton, CO
October 28, 2014
I just wish that what is said by mgmt and upper mgmt is honored and I'd like to finally retrieve my things. Furthermore, the manager currently employed at my location should revisit the simple tenets of CUSTOMER SERVICE! This has been a disappointing and souring experience and I just want my belongings and I will never breach the threshold again!!!Julian from Colorado Springs, CO
September 7, 2014
My survey wasn't excellent only because there was a few problems that may not have been Uncle Bob's. I am military and my good have been in the storage facility for a couple years; before Uncle Bob's took over. When I stopped in while driving across the country (one duty station to the next) some of my information and the keys I left to the locks on the unit were not with the new facility manger. My copy of the keys were packed away and my we were forced to cut the locks off. I don't fault the facility manager as I don't know how the hand over went with the last owners. Other then that I had a great experience.Gerald from Lakewood, WA
September 6, 2014
The lady who helped us in the office, showed us to the storage space, and helped me figure out the lock was very gracious. She knew her job and explained it in a warm and encouraging manner.Sandra from Colorado Spring, CO
August 24, 2014
Norissa is so helpful and also there when ever I need help. She know a lot of the customer by name and hasn't even been here very long. It's amazing. The place is very clean again! She's does a awesome jobAmy from Colorado Springs, CO
July 5, 2014
All of the staff (Ulysses and especially Norissa) are friendly, knowledgeable and behave in a very professional manner. This was a tough move for me and the staff made the storage part of the process painless.Mary Jane from Aurora, CO

Associated Press Poll
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's basketball team moved up one spot in the Associated Press poll and two spots in the USA Today Top 25 Coaches poll that both were released on Monday. The jumps come on the heels of CU's 71-51 win over Sun Belt Conference favorite North Texas last Friday.
Creighton moved past Michigan State in both polls, and past UCLA in the coaches poll.
With only three ranked teams losing last week (Michigan State, San Diego State and Florida State), most of the rankings stayed similar to last week.
Indiana remained in the top spot after a 97-54 win over Bryant. Louisville, Kentucky, Ohio State and Michigan round out the top-five in both polls. Creighton is the only MVC team currently earning votes in the coaches poll, while Northern Iowa received four votes in the AP poll.
Creighton was ranked as high as No. 15 in two different weeks last season. The Jays reached No. 15 the week of January 23rd, then moved to a season-best No. 13 ranking one week later. Creighton has previously been ranked in the top-15 of the AP poll during the 1973-74, 1974-75 and 2002-03 seasons as well.
Creighton hosts UAB on Wednesday at 7:05 pm at CenturyLink Center Omaha.

Territorial fights emerge in the interregional transmission plans proposed for compliance with FERC Order 1000.
Capacity Contest
Raising the stakes in RTO markets.
eliminates demand for the entire year. Efficiency providers can earn capacity payments on a given negawatt for no more than four years.
"The result is a forward capacity price signal that's led to a significant investment, with more than 10,000 MW of cleared DR and efficiency," says Andrew Ott, PJM's senior vice president of markets. "That's a big investment in demand response and efficiency."
Indeed, negawatts of one kind or another represent by far the biggest share of resources offered in PJM's capacity auction for the 2013/2014 delivery year—double the next-biggest category, new generation (see Figure 3) . Largely by virtue of clearing massive amounts of demand resources through the RPM capacity auction, PJM has managed to secure reserve margins well in excess of the NERC reference reserve margin—despite projections of substantial demand growth and plant retirements during the next several years (see Figure 4) .
The next step for PJM might be to extend the horizon for forward auctions beyond the current three years. "This is being discussed and debated among stakeholders now," Ott says. How far into the future is part of the debate. Five years? 10 years? Long time frames for capacity bidding aren't necessary, Ott says, but something longer than the RPM's current four-year horizon ( i.e., a full year's commitment in the third year ahead) would bring a greater degree of certainty to the market.
"Having forward capacity commitments doesn't solve every problem, but it certainly narrows the uncertainties for purposes of resource adequacy and transmission planning," he says. "It's beneficial to have certainty out to a point, and from there you have scenario modeling—looking at a range of possibilities to see what might evolve. The information in forward capacity markets can better inform that kind of decision making by narrowing the scenarios."
And, incidentally, extending the auction horizon might help prevent PJM from being leapfrogged by its next-door rival MISO, which is proposing enhancements to its VCA.
"FERC asked us to look at ways we can better coordinate activity across our seams, and provide better market-based price incentives for resource investments as well as consistency with our energy market," Hillman says.
MISO and PJM finalized a new seams agreement in early January, and now MISO is working with stakeholders to develop its concept for a more robust capacity auction. Currently the VCA is limited to bids and offers a single month ahead. MISO's December draft proposal envisions converting the monthly auction to an annual auction for full-year commitments, and opening the bidding horizon prospectively to between three and five years. MISO would create what it calls locational resource zones (LRZ), so bids and offers would reflect local constraints.
According to the MISO draft proposal, the enhanced auction would remain voluntary, but all load and capacity would be required to bid into the market; entities that don't wish to actually buy or sell power via the auction would net themselves out by bidding load to match their offered supply.
This is the way MISO's day-ahead energy market works now, Hillman says, with a large share of

Dec 25, 2012As you seen, it's the worst idea a group of musicians can have to make 3 album ins 6 months. Uno was a 5/10, Dos a 4/10 and Tre is a little bit better and gets a 5/10. '8th Avenue Serenade' and 'Drama Queen' are pretty nice and those two made me hope for something better than the two CDs before. After all, Tre! consists out ouf 12 songs without sense in their lyrics, that all sound the same. The same simple guitar riffs and the same stupid drum rhythm. Billie Joe Armstrong does some decent voice experiments that work and some lyrics like "Did you win or maybe did you lose? Now you're going to lick your wounds anyway" in Walk Away make you listen closer to the elswhere dull songs. So Tre! is a tiny step better than both other albums of the trilogy, but that doesn't really matter because it's also a disapointing release from a very talented band.… Expand
Jan 15, 2013On ¡Tré!, the last album in the 2012 trilogy, Green Day further widens their palette while also being rather underwhelming at times. Here's the full-track-by-track review for further elaboration.
Brutal Love: A truly great opener, slowly & beautifully building through a repetitive (in a good way) structure. With its strong emphasis on harmonies & addition of horns/piano & classic R&B influences, all culminating with power chords at the end, Brutal Love proves to be one of the most wonderfully ambitious moments of Green Day's entire career. A good song to show someone who claims they've stagnated stylistically. 8.5/10 - Missing You: Good riffs & melodies but the lyrics are pretty stupid, especially in the pre-chorus. It's basically a sadder & less cringe-worthy version of Weezer's Where's My Sex. 7/10 - 8th Avenue Serenade: Okay song but it's pretty much just filler. I'd skip it. Not very remarkable at all really. 6/10 - Drama Queen: A refreshingly stripped-down & cutesy acoustic ode from Billie Joe to what I'm guessing to be fathers his age dealing with their teenage daughters. There's a few awkward vaginal references ("she's old enough to bleed now") but they just increase the realism & sincerity of the situation being presented. 8/10 - X-Kid: A solid & impressive straightforward pop-rock song that I hope gets a lot of success when it's released as a single in February. The lyrics are a bit ambiguous but it feels more vague & personal than a complete phone-in. 7.5/10 - Sex, Drugs & Violence: A well-written self-ode to Billie Joe's hedonistic & rebellious youth with very infectious melodies. The emphasis on Mike's vocals, both backing & lead, was a nice touch too. 8/10 - A Little Boy Named Train: According to Billie Joe (from what I've read) this song is about a true story of a hermaphrodite who had their penis cut off by their parents in order to present the child as gender-neutral. Their name was also questionable, one of which "he" went by at some point was Train. As interesting as that song topic is however, you'd never guess this by looking at the lyrics here. I guess there's vague references to the story but it's mostly pretty bland. Not the worst song here lyrically but there was a ton of wasted potential, especially considering how twisted Billie Joe's mind has been lately in the lyric department. Kinda unremarkable musically too. 6.5/10 - Amanda: Solid & catchy simple pop-punk song despite some awkward rhymes in one verse. Lyrically well-done otherwise though, dealing with a dysfunctional relationship. 7.5/10 - Walk Away: A a rather generic & dull breakup-based song that kinda comes off as filler. 6.5/10 - Dirty Rotten Bastards: Quite possibly the best song on the entire trilogy. I kid you not. As great as some songs here were... WOW. This song is an epic 6-minute medley, much like that of the ones on American Idiot except with admittedly less depth in the lyrics. Whereas Jesus of Suburbia & Homecoming were further narrations of an ongoing story, Dirty Rotten Bastards is just plain FUN. It's a complete blast to listen to, from its made-to-sing-along-to-while-drunk-with-your-friends wordless intro to the breakneck punk jam in the middle, complete with an awesome bass solo, to the epic conclusion, all lyrically complimented with a certain energetic youthful attitude that Green Day hasn't always presented convincingly lately but is pulled off near-perfectly here. This is the song to show your cynical friend who thinks Green Day has "lost their edge" or something like that, and in my opinion is the best Green Day song of 2012. 9.5/10 - 99 Revolutions: While fun, catchy & well-executed musically, lyrically this is a phoned-in late-to-the-party Occupy Wall Street "anthem" that only evokes eye-rolling from me. To me Green Day made their only worthwhile political statements in American Idiot & 21st Century Breakdown. Still happy it's the end credits song for The Campaign though. 7/10 - The Forgotten: Each song in this trilogy of albums has had one especially infamous song; on Uno it was the dancey Kill the DJ & on Dos it was the hip hop-influenced Nightlife. This time around it's The Forgotten, a piano-driven ballad that was featured in Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2, which needless to say had the punk purists freaking out. What they fail to realize however is that the Twilight soundtracks are consistently (at least to most of my gender that bothers to be open-minded enough) the sole good quality of an otherwise crappy franchise, and The Forgotten is no exception. It's an absolutely gorgeous song despite some vague lyrics, and further shows Green Day's potential for versatility. 8/10 - Overall, while ¡Tré! is a little less consistently good than ¡Uno! or ¡Dos!, and certainly contains more filler, the good traits far outweigh the bad ones, and lyrical themes feel more refreshingly personal than the other 2 albums. Score: 75/100… Expand
Mar 13, 2013¡Tré! is the final chapter of Green Day's beautiful trilogy. It's better than ¡Dos!, and come closer to ¡Uno!. The songs are generally sadder than the other two albums (The Forgotten), but they're all very good, especially X-Kid, 99 Revolution and Brutal Love. I think ¡Tré! is on the same level of ¡Uno! and Warning, all in the list of Green Day's great albums.
Jun 7, 2013I don't have much to say about this. Mixed feelings. It's not bad but it's not good. It's totally forgettable. Some tracks stand out from others, yes, but once I listen to it I feel like I'm never feel the will to listen to it again. It's totally not impressive and the lyrics are okay. I wouldn't wast my time here if I can spend it wisely with "¡Uno!"
Jan 4, 2013Green Day completes their trilogy with a satisfying collection of punk/pop songs that qualify as the most melodic and mellow of the set. Tre! is like a cool down exercise after the more amped up tunes of the first two albums. All in all a solid if not remarkable finale to a solid if not remarkable undertaking.

Dec 11, 2012Honestly, Green Day has disappointed me with this so-called awesome trilogy. Only 5 or 6 songs are great when you combine the entire trilogy and that's not satisfying. Green Day are one of my favorite bands and I love their albums like Nimrod, American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown but too much repitition is never good. If you think that any album of this trilogy is better than their previous albums then you're truly mistaken. This album is better than the previous two installments but it is not how I expected it to be, to be honest. I expected much bigger sound, I imagined them on a much bigger scale, putting their entire effort into this album to make it sound like a masterpiece but they couldn't do it. I like "The Forgotten", "Brutal Love" and "Walk Away". I completely understand that they're a punk rock band but they need to evolve now. You can't survive by sticking to one thing forever, but if you still choose to stay, you need to improvise, you need experimentation which can make your old sound good. I hope they make better albums in future and really put their efforts into the work they've been doing for so many years instead of releasing three mediocre albums in a single year.… Expand
Dec 17, 2012Following the nice Uno! and the fantastic Dos! is no easy feat for any album, and it's a task that not many albums would be up to, but in this case, Dos! is trumped in style by the third album in Green Day's trilogy - Tre! Tre! is considered the after party in the series and follows a calmer, more reflective mood, reminiscent of Warning and parts of American Idiot. The album contains some of the best tracks in the trilogy, including Brutal Love, X-Kid, Dirty Rotten Bastards, 99 Revolutions and The Forgotten, all of which become infectiously addictive. Don't believe what the critics say, this is Green Day's best album since American Idiot and is up there with the best of Green Day's work, an easy 10/10 and a perfect way to round off a wonderful trilogy of albums.
Watch out for: Brutal Love, X-Kid, Dirty Rotten Bastards, 99 Revolutions, The Forgotten… Expand
Jun 23, 2014Tre is the weakest in the trilogy but is still a solid album. Unlike the last two it doesn't stick to one genre. The lyrics are strongest here but the music is less interesting. Its more about the lyrics so its not as exhilarating as the first two. Its still a solid album though and fans like myself will be pleased. Notable songs: Brutal Love, Drama Queen, X-Kid, Little Boy Named Train, Dirty Rotten Bastards and 99 Revolutions… Expand
Aug 30, 2013¡Tré! is the third instalment in Green Day's ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy and it is a satisfying end to a satisfying set of albums. With these three albums Green Day have ditched the rock opera themes of their past to albums and went back to basics. ¡Uno! offered us a with a simple but effective pop-punk record which brings us back to the days of Dookie, ¡Dos! had a more garage-rock feel to it with songs appropriate for a party. ¡Tré! begins with opener "Brutal Love", one of the best songs on the trilogy and is definitely the standout track from the album. This is followed by the more pop-punk songs "Missing You" and '8th Avenue Serenade" both of which are very good. "X-kid" is a beautiful song about a fallen commrade with a very catchy riff. The penultimate song, "Dirty Rotten Bastards" sounds like a throw back to "Jesus of Suburbia" from "American Idiot". It may not be as good as said song but it is still an effective and catchy tune. However, the album isn't all good. Songs like "Sex, Drugs and Violence" and lead single "The Forgotten" are more filler than killer and the former is one of the worst songs Green Day have ever recorded. ¡Tré! is a simple album with some good songs. It is not an essential purchase but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.… Expand
Sep 30, 2014I honestly found this album to be the best in the Trilogy. The album starts off with the Doo-Wop influenced Brutal Love, which starts off slow and then builds up to this epic love ballad and is one of my favorites on the album. This is a great way to introduce this album. The album is a little bit more experimental, compared to the previous two in the trilogy. Another favorite of mine is X-Kid, with it being my favorite on this album. The guitar riff is so melancholic and the lyrics are actually really sad as well. My other favorites are Sex, Drugs & Violence, with a catchy chorus that just makes you want to sing along to every time. 99 Revolutions is just a wonderful political song, and Dirty Rotten Bastards is a call back to American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown and the guitar solo on that is just terrific! Some least favorite tracks on this album would be A Little Boy Named Train. It's just so boring and the only thing decent about it is the chorus. The Forgotten is a let down, it's a Beatles influenced track and it feels rushed. The main problems with this album are some songs feel rushed and or incomplete. They miss something to make it stand out. And, same with the rest of the Trilogy, the production is too clean-cut and I just can't stand it. All in all, this is a pretty good album and the best in the Trilogy.… Expand
Dec 12, 2012By far the best album of the trilogy. It's filled with memorable songs that will only add to Green Day's legendary catalogue. Every song is different but there is a seamless flow to the album that was lacking in the other two. Standout tracks include 'Brutal Love', a country-influenced love ballad that slowly builds to an epic climax, 'X-Kid', with outstanding vocals, and 'Dirty Rotten Bastards', a 7-minute epic in the veins of Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming. All in all, a bit disappointed with the trilogy but this album redeems it as much as possible.… Collapse
Dec 11, 2012Mmmmmmmmmmmm overall the trilogy isnt' great but a few songs off this album are really good. Personally I think they were just out to make money, and that's understandable, but it cost them some fans. I'm still going to watch out for their next project of course but my hopes aren't as high now!
Jul 18, 2013I'm sorry to say that these three albums are exactly what I feared they would be: 75% filler.
It seems like they could have saved their fans a lot of time, anticipation and money by picking out the best 4 songs from each of them to make one good album instead of 3 mediocre albums.
There are a few gems in there that are worth downloading but for the most part the songs all follow a simple generic formula that isn't really bad but gets very stale after you hear it 20+ times.
The whole 3- album gimmick just seems like a really sly way of getting people to fork over more cash.
My advice would be to listen to the albums online first. Pick your favourites and then download them individually. You'll end up with about 10-12 songs that are worth having and the rest of it will fade from your memory as quickly as it arrived… Expand
Jan 2, 2013this album truly caps off a wonderful trilogy. theres no question green day has truly made an im pact on punk rock, and this clearly shown. the amount of songs they wrote in such a short time is phenomenal.
Dec 13, 2012It's better then Dos!, Some song like Dirty Rotten Bastards, X-Kid and 99 Revolutions keep the original Green Day style, but other songs it's so disappointing....The trilogy it's not what I expected....Now we just wait for the next proposal of this band in the future, and check this like a lesson to learn
Dec 15, 2012There are a few catchy songs that will appeal to the mainstream, probably get some radio play. There are many (a majority actually) that I think are repetitive, both from other songs from the album and from other songs from the new box set (iUno!, iDos!, etc.). Others are not written too well (Drama Queen and Amanda being examples). These songs were written in a hurry and sound mostly the same. Albeit, there are some catchy songs, ones I would play more than once. But in the long run, some are rehashes of songs from earlier in the box set and the Green Day catalogue. 5/10.… Expand
Sep 19, 2014A slightly underrated but unbelievably low popular album. It shows how Green Day music is highly underrated. Especially when you take their production from song to song. 85 percent of their songs have possibility to be a great hit, and if any of english pop rock artist have song like Wild One, then it`ll be like biggest hit of decade. Very poor management and couple of laziness by Californians made this a very low successful but very cool return to their roots. Btw. the meaning of songs X-Kid and 99 Revolution clearly overcome the strongness of social criticism/"age-documentation" kind of songs from American Idiot and 21st cb albums.… Expand
Dec 11, 2012By far the best album off the trilogy. It even beats out 21st Century Breakdown. All the songs connect instantly, and there's no filler ANYWHERE on the album. There are some mad fills by Tre Cool, crazy bass solos by Dirnt (Cue the spectacular 7 minute long 'Dirty Rotten Bastards'), and some pretty badass guitar work from both Billie Joe and Jason White. Also, Armstrong's vocals never fail to impress. Even Mike Dirnt's! Yup, he has a 10 second lead vocal stint on 'Sex, Drugs and Violence.' This album is a complete package, with a political song that recalls their '04 and '05 albums, and the mellower opening and closing tracks of the album, both of which are driven by piano and violins. Best album I've heard in a long time.
Tracks to listen to: Dirty Rotten Bastards; X-Kid; Sex, Drugs and Violence; Little Boy Named Train; Brutal Love.… Expand
Dec 16, 2012Truly underwhelming. Three albums in three months got us the same old same old from the band. Truly nothing original, thought provoking, energetic, or memorable from Tre! (or the collection as a whole to be quite honest). I don't think the band should pack up their two decade bag or anything, but maybe next time spend some time trying to craft a great album instead of three truly forgettable albums.… Expand
Jun 11, 2014I think, prior to the formal review, I should give a bit of my background with Green Day. I'm only 16, so I'm not one of those die-hard Dookie fans, I tend to gravitate towards their newer albums (i.e American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown). That being said, I can appreciate their older albums. I don't care for their first two albums, and honestly I don't really like Dookie, but I can at least appreciate it for the revolutionary album it is. Insomniac is an alright album in my opinion, and the same goes for Nimrod. Warning is, oddly enough, my favorite Green Day album, and American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown are just fantastic albums, any way you look at them. So, we come to Uno!, Dos!, and Tre!, three of the worst albums I've ever heard in my life. All bands have their black sheep albums (RHCP has One Hot Minute, Smashing Pumpkins has Zeitgeist, Coldplay has Mylo Xyloto, etc), but these albums are really, really, really terrible, even compared to some of the greatest band's worst efforts. I'm sort of lumping these together (the words I say apply not only to Tre!, but too to Uno! and Dos!), because these albums honestly are not worth my time and effort to write three individual reviews. With Green Day's career as makers of epic, lengthy, thematic, overtly-conceptual rock operas seemingly over, they decided to venture back into the catchy, three minute (most not even), three power-chord punk song territory. However, punk honestly isn't the right word; pop-punk, would be. Now, some may cry Judas and assume that my negativity is entirely based upon this change towards pop, but that isn't the case. One of the only redeemable songs on this trilogy, "Kill the DJ", is honestly one of the most dance-y, poppy songs Green Day has ever made, and they nail it perfectly. However, and this is me being as honest as humanly possible, that is the only good song on these albums. Green Day's attempts at a return to punk form (songs like "Nuclear Family", "Let Yourself Go", "Makeout Party", "Wow! That's Loud", "Sex, Drugs & Violence", and "99 Revolutions") all seem trite, and fall way short of such classic punk rockers like "Burnout", and "Stuck With Me". Now, it may be wrong to compare new music to old music, but these albums were marketed as a return to their punk roots, at which they fail. Now, I mentioned Green Day treads new territory, too, with the poppy sound. They perfect this style ever so articulately on the aptly titled "Kill the DJ", a song which i can honestly say I love. However later attempts at this feel shoe-horned in, and rather sell-out-y. The most prominent example of this would be "Nightlife" on Dos!, a song which, without Armstrong's signature bratty whine, could be mistaken for a song not, in fact, by Green Day, even featuring several rapping versus from guest artist Lady Cobra. Another example of this would be "Makeout Party", also on Dos!. With lyrics like "It's a makeout party on another dimension", one could assume that: 1. Armstrong never passed 9th grade English and Grammar, and 2. Armstrong wants to be an angst-y teen again. Speaking of lyrics, one of the worst lyrics I've ever heard in my life appears on the Tre! song "Sex, Drugs & Violence", when Armstrong proclaims "Sex, drugs and violence/ English, math and science!", a lyric which makes no sense, given Armstrong only briefly mentions this comparison of these primitive human feelings and desires (sex, drugs, and violence), to these primitive topics of study (English, math, and science) once in the entire song, excluding the chorus. The main problem on these albums is, in fact, singer and guitarist (now a dignified rhythm guitarist with inclusion of long-time touring guitarist Jason White as lead guitarist on this trilogy). The lyrics are terrible, and the songs that are so clearly written by Armstrong (the generic, trite, three power-chord songs with little variation) are as terrible as the lyrics. The only highlights of the album are the other musicians, with drummer Tre Cool giving some stellar drum trackings as per usual, bassist Mike Dirnt providing some ear-worm inducing bass-hooks, and guitarist Jason White providing some solos never heard on Green Day albums before (obviously because Armstrong did not posses the talent). However, it's not fair to place the whole of the blame on Armstrong, as the one lyrics sung by Dirnt on lead ("I don't want to be an imbecile, but Jesus made me that way" on "Sex, Drugs & violence") is just as terrible as Armstrong's worst lyric. Even more so, how would these other, clearly superior, musicians, allow this trilogy to be released and tarnish their otherwise fluke-less career? After seeing Billie Joe's on-stage, sleeping-pill-induced freak-out from two years back, one could formulate a theory on just how stable Billie Joe may be behind the scenes. All this in mind, Uno!, Dos!, and Tre! by Green Day are some of the worst albums ever. However, I'll give it a 1/10, just for "Kill the DJ".… Expand
Dec 27, 2012If you are comparing this cd or any other cd green day has released to 21 century breakdown (and saying 21st century breakdown is their best cd), you are no green day fan. they shoulda quit at nimrod. Dookie was their best. American idiot was their last ACCEPTABLE cd. the rest of this is money grab and terrible music. so to all the ten year olds who are pushing them on and saying these cds are amazing, please, please, please go back to listening to justin beiber and niki minage and all that other **** bc no green day fan enjoys what they have become in order to appeal to you.… Expand
Jan 4, 2013Did I actually read one review say there is "some pretty badass guitar work"? Is this really what people think musical talent is. This is beginner guitar work. This sounds like a band of novices or even new musicians. I'm starting to get tired of having to review boring untalented "pop" music. Being the jerk I am towards "pop" music, I generally try to at least give points to the catchy aspect that is fed to a drone's head. Do you like to repeat "walk away" or "carried away" over and over? The "oh my gosh" factor comes in when you hear the few rebellious cuss words; feels thrown in. One thing that does get tiring is the forced "we try to make you cry" track. Why? Again, feels forced and done only to sell records and concerts.
I could go on for a while about talent but I don't feel like remembering the pain so let us move on to production; the album sounds good. I do not expect less from a band of this much money. It's clean, tuning is good, and vocal harmonies are on (if you do enjoy these vocals). The drum tracking is pretty darn good as usual for this band.
In closing, this is another album to appeal to the masses of casual music listeners. Sounds like every previous album in a progressively worse direction. Will not care for another album. Stop.… Expand
Dec 11, 2012Green Day is one of my favorite bands, and this album dissapoints me... worst of the trilogy by far. it was a very boring album. by the time i was done with the album and listening to the last song, it made me cry. 1. because the trilogy was over 2. that the song was over and the whole album over (hoping for one good song on the album) 3. the song was very sad and the worst of all is the music video for the last song on the album "The Forgotten"
Uno and Dos were great, but this album was very boring.… Expand
Dec 12, 2012Being a fan of Green Day for a long time, I was exhilarated when I learned they would be coming out with, not one, but three new albums. Tre! was instantly the one I was most excited for due to the descriptions Billie Joe gave. After hearing Uno! and Dos! my expectations were very high for Tre! and it did not disappoint. While I thought the first two albums were good, this one provides me with extensive replay value with every song. Tre! opens with the grandiose "Brutal Love," a sprawling ballad complete with piano and horn contributions, a la King for a Day. The albums does not turn back from there. There are no genre-bending experiments on Tre!, just tributes to many decades of music, as well as past Green Day efforts. "Drama Queen" delves into 50's do-wop and throwback for fans of Warning in "Sex, Drugs, and Violence," for example. While, yes, I agree that it is not Green Day's top material, Tre! salvages an otherwise slightly above average trilogy and, hell, still beats out most music today, warranting a 9/10. **** Kesha's album is rated higher than Tre! right now and anyone that knows real music will know that Tre! is still prime entertainment, even if it's not Green Day's greatest effort. That being said, it deserves to be mentioned as one of their better albums, in my humble opinion. Their ability to channel different eras of rock and still be able to make it their own is uncanny. Must listens: Brutal Love, X-Kid, Dirty Rotten Bastards… Expand
Dec 17, 2012One of Green day's greatest albums,all "Killer" and no "Filler its a must have by far the best of the trilogy.
Green day have produced some of their finest songs ever with songs like "Brutal love" ,"X-Kid","Dirty rotten Bastards" and "99 revolutions"
But saying that not one song stood out as a bad song all were great,overall its a far better album than "UNO" and "DOS" which were both solid albums.
The best way to describe "TRE" is that it has songs which remind me of Dookie but it has the stadium rock feel at times of "American idiot" and "21st Century Breakdown" with the experimental side of "Nimrod" and "Warning"
MUST BUY ALBUM OF THE YEAR.… Expand
Dec 21, 2012Q:What could be worse than a dud album? A:Three in a row.
This release contains more simple song structures with even simpler lyrics which one has come to expect from uno and dos. Of course, they can choose to take any direction they want but I just can't understand why they've chosen this one. To me they appear to have dumbed down their abilities to target the teenage market. It would be great if they put their extensive talents into something a little more thought provoking. Maybe next time… Expand
Dec 21, 2012Green Day are back with their third part of the Trilogy.The third and final album is the best of the whole Trilogy.It has beautiful slow ballads like "The Forgotten" and "Drama Queen",epic multi-part song like "Dirty Rotten Bastards",catchy pop-punk tunes like "X-Kid" and "Missing You",political song like "99 Revolutions" , even a soul song like "Brutal Love" which is a tribute to Sam Cooke.It's their best album since American Idiot and the best way to close the Trilogy.… Expand
Dec 31, 2012Waited for this album after listening "The Forgotten" in Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2...Good so far... "Missing You" and "The Forgotten" 10 on 10..Lovely
Feb 22, 2013green day is perhaps the only one punk band alive, still continuing the good works of sex pistols and ramones.....uno! and dos! are perfect examples of punk albums while this album Tre! brought in some variations of pop with songs like BRUTAL LOVE, X-KID.... pop- punk is the overall genre of this album and those who are expecting something like TIME OF YOUR LIFE would definitely love this album...… Expand
Apr 22, 2014In the end, iTRÉ! is unexpectedly the strongest record overall of the three. Although it has its own issues, these don't drag that much the whole affair down and there aren't any horrible missteps such as "Nightlife".
