Yes, the final instalment of Green Day's album trilogy was released at the end of last year, after the release date was brought forward a month to ease the blow of the band's world tour debacle due to frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's stint in rehab. So our apologies for the lateness. But considering TimeOut had already reviewed two Green Day albums in 2012, we thought there was no harm in leaving it a month.
And to be honest, though there are some great tracks here, it is - perhaps predictably - a hit and miss affair. Although you have to admire Green Day's ambition, and Armstrong's prolific songwriting (though it makes you wonder what this intensity had to do with his stay in rehab). But bog-standard offerings like Missing You and the sweet but dull acoustic refrain of Drama Queen make you wonder if three albums in three months was too keen.
In hindsight, the best of Uno, Dos, and Tre would have made a cracking good double album. And the best tracks to be included from this latest release would have been the romantic riffing and melodic serenade of X-Kid and the multi-part frenzy of Dirty Rotten Bastards, which is similar, though not as riveting, as Jesus of Suburbia from American Idiot.
Now for that long-awaited tour announcement.
Stars: 3/5
Verdict: Part quality, part leftovers

Wakefulness is our natural state: enlightened, complete, perfect in wisdom and compassion. It's not something outside ourselves that we need to attain or become. But it's also true that some effort is required to get in touch with it—and that effort is what spiritual practice is about. Gaylon Ferguson highlights two essential aspects of the path of awakening: learning to trust that we are already naturally awake and committing to meditation practice. And he shows how each supports the other in our efforts to become fully who we are.
He begins by showing how to understand natural wakefulness in ourselves and how to gain confidence in it. Then he teaches the fundamentals of meditation and goes on to provide exercises and guided contemplations intended to help us experience innate wakefulness. Along the way, he shares selections from question-and-answer sessions with students from retreats that he's led that provide practical advice for manifesting awareness in daily life. Finally he shows how we can reinforce and support each other in wakefulness through community.
This long-awaited first book from this renowned meditation teacher is a complete introduction to meditation and the spiritual path—suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners as a source of inspiration and insight.

He might not be much cop at the catwalk (too keen, you see), but America's next top model has the good looks and amazing hair you'd hope a professional at the top of his game would possess. Bit of a wet nose, though.
That's because he's, er, a dog. Menswear Dog to be precise, star of a high-design tumblr site dedicated to a "three-year-old shiba inu living in NYC with a panache for all things style [sic]". In practice this means dressing up a photogenic dog in various items of men's clothing.
Check out all of Menswear Dog's portfolio here.
So we see the hound looking like Arthur Miller wearing a tie (with pin) and button-down collar. We see him relaxing in a puffer vest and, during his downtime, he dons a denim jacket, which the caption helpfully identifies as coming from Levi's.
Since launching on Monday, it has been viewed nearly 400,000 times. The hound-shaped future of online shopping?

President Barack Obama did the right thing in ousting Rick Wagoner as head man at General Motors. Already there are a few encouraging signs that the GM community realizes it is time to step on the accelerator.
As for squawking that Obama is being too meddlesome, it is time the president takes off the gloves and gets his hands dirty reforming the banking sector, too. Removing the brass at Citicorp and Bank of America would be a good place to start.
The Obama administration is not engaged in a rescue of GM. Its is more of a salvage operation — saving viable units, while being sufficiently focused to squeeze remaining value out of the scraps.
Whether this unprecedented government intervention at GM will pave the way for the once-mighty automaker to reach an agreement with its unionized workers and big-money creditors remains to be seen. And it is still unclear whether a corporate restructuring under an umbrella of taxpayer guarantees would be preferable to filing for bankruptcy. The track record of GM's management, unions, and creditors in trying to agree upon a salvage plan is truly pathetic, after all. This trio of special interests seems determined to turn the Darwinian notion of survival of the fittest upside down.
With populist rage running at ugly levels, a GM bankruptcy might also insulate Obama from the sort of political backlash that erupted in the wake of the AIG-bonuses debacle. That insulation could be needed to keep larger recovery efforts moving forward.
Still, the fact that GM has not yet melted down has given Washington, the financial markets, and the public a chance to catch their breath. Just as the nation needed an interval to wrap its mind around the fact that Wall Street — with the disappearance of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and the implosion of AIG — ain't what it used to be, so, too, does it need to adjust to the new reality of a greatly diminished Detroit.
The etiquette of political debate does not seem to allow for a frank discussion of what's going on with GM. It is as if 30 years of being fat and happy has dumbed down the nation's various elites — including the media. Vocabulary fails us. The nation's collective imagination seems unable to skip out of the spin cycle that has reduced the GM saga to just another blame game.
But the stakes are so high, and the climate of opinion so skeptical, that it seems necessary to remind ourselves this is not a game. Theatricality is a necessary part of politics. These days, however, theatrics have overshadowed the objective. This is real life, not a reality show. Reckless speculation in the housing market; unregulated greed on Wall Street; unprecedented levels of personal, corporate, and government debt have already compromised or ruined prosperity for countless numbers for the imaginable future.
Ford, with a bit of luck, might pull through on its own; Chrysler appears headed for a shotgun marriage with Fiat; and GM — either under the direction of a bankruptcy court or at the behest of Washington — will slim itself down and probably sell itself off. All of this, of course, is a best-case scenario.
Banishing the delusional myopia of the political and financial communities is proving to be as daunting a job for Obama as salvaging GM. But botching the job in Detroit could crack the thin veneer of hope that Obama has managed to apply to the economic crisis. Even a "successful" resolution of the GM situation will mean more economic pain — banks still are not lending; the economy continues to contract, though at a slower rate than a few months ago. Hope, sadly, is what the nation is running on at the moment.

|Written by Alexey W. Root on Fri, Mar 22 2013 (20:36)
Dr. Alexey Root had Denton High School students try to solve a ninth-century chess problem, published in her book People, Places, Checkmates: Teaching Social Studies with Chess. While experienced students worked on that problem, Dr. Root taught two beginners the two-rook checkmate, the Pawn Game, and the knight's tour. Among other places, lesson plans for those chess drills can be found in Dr. Root's Children and Chess: A Guide for Educators and Science, Math, Checkmate: 32 Chess Activities for Inquiry and Problem Solving.
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."
-Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941)

Kevin & Danielle Jonas Celebrate Their One Year Wedding Anniversary At Disney World! Pics!

How adorable (and oh so clean cut) are these two? Kevin Jonas and wife Danielle Jonas celebrated one year of wedded bliss not by throwing a lavish party or escaping to a private island…but by visiting the Magic Kingdom!
Kevin, 23, is all smiles as he lifts up his wife and posing in front of the Cinderella's castle. No fancy celebration needed for this young couple…they spent the day in Florida with another famous Disney couple: Cinderella and her prince. The Jo Bro and Danielle, 24, reportedly spent the evening inside Cinderella's Castle Suite.
Kevin even tweeted a sweet message to his lady on Sunday: Happy anniversary to my amazing wife of a year and for the rest of my life. I love you @daniellejonas
Good to see a young couple surviving the tough first year of marriage. Congrats, you two!

UTSA students learn art of music promotion with new group
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 30, 2009)--If you're a student interested in learning the art of music promotion in San Antonio, then the UTSA Musicians Organization of Business (MOB) wants to hear from you. The MOB, currently comprised of 10 members, hopes to increase its membership and is open to all students regardless of their musical abilities.

Last spring, the organization promoted and hosted a battle-of-the-bands competition, inviting 15 bands from San Antonio and Austin to compete. The winner was the San Antonio-based band The Lytes.
"We really wanted to put on a good show and learn how to network and work on a professional level with people in the business responsible for music promotion," said Nick Garcia, UTSA senior and MOB member. "We learned first-hand, not by sitting in the classroom, but by talking with people who have been in the music business in San Antonio for years."
Local music instrument supplier Sam Ash Music stores donated $200 in cash and prizes and Krazy Kat Music provided the equipment for the preliminary and final rounds.
"I found out that working in the music business is a lot of hard work and takes up a lot of time," said Zach Keen, UTSA senior and MOB member. "I enjoyed making contacts and learning by getting a hands-on feel of what it takes to work in the music industry."
To judge the competition, the students recruited local radio personalities Kelley Kendall and Quinn from 99.5 KISS-FM to evaluate the performances.
"The activities of the MOB are great for teaching students interested in the music industry the nuts and bolts of how things get done and how to get started in this very competitive business," said Matthew Dunne, faculty adviser for MOB and coordinator of the UTSA music marketing program. "I was really happy with how the battle of the bands turned out, and I look forward to more great MOB events."
UTSA MOB members Nick Garcia, Zach Keen and Isaac Guajardo will graduate soon but before they leave UTSA, they want to pass on their knowledge to younger members so the organization can grow in membership and take on bigger projects in the years to come.

Despite all the studies and articles about the inefficiency of lecturing we seem to be addicted to the habit. I freely admit that I don't always practice what I preach but the format and location of most conferences make the traditional lecture almost unavoidable. It's rather amusing how many conferences I've attended on subjects like innovative pedagogy or future learning spaces that are based almost exclusively around lectures and the dreaded panel debates. Indeed I've listened to extremely boring lectures about innovative pedagogy.

I decided to start a thread about my first experience going to Orange Groves.
I'll try to share photos thoughout the process and share what I think I've learned.
It should be interesting to read in a couple of years when I have a better idea what I'm doing.
I've been waiting on the grove manager to let me know when he was done spraying. I called him Thursday and we set up a time to meet Friday he told me he would let me know the spray schedule then. No hurry right! I met with him and he told me I could drop hives this weekend. Time to hurry! The bloom is starting but in this grove looks like much of is a week or so away. I called around and confirmed nearby groves have all finished spraying and in one nearby grove the bees just started to make honey!
I "learned"
I thought that growers where concerned with getting greening disease in a grove is seems that most if not all groves have it they are worried about it spreading not only grove to grove but tree to tree.
Part of reason it's spreading and has such an effect is abandoned groves that aren't treated.
Growers have lots of stuff they spray that is labeled bee safe.
Trees with greening bloom early.
This is a tree they haven't picked yet.
The grove of 35 acres I'm in is mostly Hamlin which are grown for juice but there are a couple more varieties close
I had a few more hives to bring to my staging yard ( everyone else calls it my backyard).
I had a couple bottom boards to change and lids needed to be opened.
Things I "learned"
I need a new bottom board system. They are hard to screen in and it's too warm to plug a strong hive up. I may need to look at moving screens, screened bottoms or maybe a couple 3 inch hole saw cuts in the bottom with screen.
A better plan... Get my hives ready and leave them alone. I thought I'd have four or five days to let them set and propolis lids etc down, I need to move them Sunday or Monday.
I need to make a dolly! Strong arm is getting old with my hard to screen in bottoms and shifting lids.
I need beekeeping pants. I don't mind the couple off stings I get though jeans but I need about 11 more pockets.
Red filtered light headlamps don't work so well inside of the veil.
I need to learn some knots! A pallet set on top of hives will not keep lids from shifting.
I'll try to post some better photos tomorrow.
I think I'll load about 30 hives and take them Sunday or Monday night so if your behind a gray truck and trailer in central Florida one of those nights don't follow to closely !

Discussion in 'Chevy Impala Forum' started by ejohnson03, Apr 4, 2012.
Can't wait to see more...
Live reveal at 9am. http://spr.ly/ImpaLS
Huh. Well that's certainly different than the current Impalas. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. Part of me really likes it. The other part of me thinks it just reminds me of a cross between a Buick and a Camry.
BUT, if this means they're starting to release info and that the truck images might be released soon, then I'm all for it. Honestly, I think I'll have to see the whole line before judging the impala. I also think a lot of how I feel about it will be based on what engines they make available for it. (If that information is in the link provided, my apologies, but the link was blocked from where I am.
Checked this out online earlier; certainly looks like a big departure from some of the lame styling the Impala has had for the past couple generations. This thing has style! A very welcome change! Hopefully this also hints at what we can expect on some future models too.
With the efforts of Ford and the Mustang, Dodge and the Challenger, and GM with the Camaro, heading toward a retro look, I would like to see the Impala with nod toward the 1965 era Impalas.
A nice SS fast back, with updated technologies, like a twin turbo V6 or Supercharged V8.
I completely agree. I do like the look of this new Impala....just not as an Impala if you know what I mean. Looks like they are trying to go after the European sedan style market ie. the M5 or a Jag.
Looks like a beamer..
hyundai sonata look, they couldnt have done any worse then the remake of the charger. and then they leave the same bodystyle and throw in the charger taillight which i liked, but still a miserable fail.
I like the looks of it but I think a few years down the road it will just look like another four door sedan that will be bought and driven by men over sixty years old and they're wives. Maybe if they make an SS version and turbo charge it it might become a little more interesting to a wider buyer demographic.
Here's more pictures of it. It looks nice But they're only focusing on gas mileage no http://www.motortrend.com/auto_show...ork_2014_chevrolet_impala/photo_20.html#photo
That thing looks fantastic. It does have a lot of Buick DNA in it but I can live with it. Their design has lacked for the last few decades in many vehicles and it is nice that Chevrolet is getting back to adding style in their vehicles. The new Malibu, Cruze, and even the Sonic just show that Chevrolet is trying to carve a path for themselves in saturated markets. I hope to see more positive development in the future.
Separate names with a comma.

Complement your existing decor with the stylish presence of this contemporary cylinder table lamp, with gold finish metal accents.More Details >
The simple design of this clear glass cylinder table lamp is accented with top and bottom metal trim in shimmering, warm gold finish. The lamp base opens, allowing you to fill the glass base with any decorative object of your choosing, such as crystal marbles, shells, or even colored sand. A clean white drum shade and a golden finial top off this distinctive design.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
The lamp was placed on a drum table between two chairs in the living room. I like the simple shape of the lamp and that it is made of glass rather than the usual ceramics. The brass on this lamp adds a touch of class and it complements the brass base of my coffee table. I like the look of the lamp the way it is and prefer not to fill it.
Wanted a way to display some of my used wine corks and this works great for that. Only improvement would have been to have a three way bulb socket option.
I bought this lamp to fill with items I wanted to display. But now I am thinking I will leave it empty. It is such a nice, simple lamp and -- because the base is clear-- it takes up almost no visual space. I put it in a "busy" corner that needed more light, and it is perfect.

Oh Year End List Makers:This week (the second to
last of the Footballz broadcast schedule) we reap the benefits of a sports media
that is a slave to the whims of the Big Markets. Let me set up a hypothetical
for you. Two teams have the sterling records of 7-6 and 4-9 going into a game,
and even the 7-6 team has a very slim (almost no) chance of making the playoffs.
The 4-9 team has a laughingstock of a coach who will probably not make it
through the off-season, and a first-round quarterback who is largely thought to
have been a huge bust. The 7-6 team was a trendy pick (and it always seems to be
this way) to do damage in the playoffs and features a quarterback who shows
flashes of talent but takes too may hits and is consistently inconsistent.
Should these teams be on national television with two weeks left to go in the
season? (Especially with so many exciting games this week – well,
okay that last one was kind of boring)? No, they should not, which is good
because they aren't. I was describing the Texans and the Raiders, but our
Monday-night match-up is eerily similar.
The Redskins are 4-9. Coach Jim Zorn, while clean of soul,
has the dirt of dead-man-walking on him. (For crying out loud, his play-calling
duties were given to a bingo
caller -- and one who calls it at a senior center, not even a pro.) Jason
Campbell is thought to stink on ice (though some people whose opinions I trust
claim he isn't so
bad). And both Zorn and
Campbell are kind of mailing it in, since they both know they'll be gone by the
end of the year. The team remains in a constant state of disarray. And I will
not even get into the not-talked-about-enough fact that the team that plays in
Our Nation's Capitol (I guess they play in Maryland but whatever) has the most
racist name in all of sports (sorry Orangemen) and who's
mascott's questionability is outstripped only by the worst
mascott in all of professional sports. This is a team that noone should be
forced to watch.
Their opponents are the over-covered, underachieving 7-6
New York Football Giants (not to be confused with the
much-more-entertainingly-named Wabash Little Giants). Eli
Manning (the whelp of the litter) has regressed from this to this
or maybe this
or this
(okay that last one was both photoshopped and a little unfair) and has never
found a connection with any of the young receivers on the roster who were
brought in to replace Eli's sweatpants-wearing security blanket.
While the team has been mildly embarrassing, nothing can touch the work of its
former superstars, Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan. Oh, goodness. I will leave
Tiki's Olympics
coverage to stand on its own without comment, but his grit-and-grin while
trying to hold together that polished-in-a-million-media-relations-classes smile
after the Giants won a Super Bowl without him might have been the only salve for
Patriots fans everywhere. Mr. Strahan has tried ever so hard to cultivate a
gap-toothed teddy bear image with his move to the guffaw-filled Fox studio show.
(Dear god, if I would be allowed to kill just one man with a rusty implement it
would be tough for me to choose between Jay Glazer, Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw,
and Frank Caliendo; and Jimmy Johnson would escape my wrath only because of this.)
While we're on the subject of Strahan, let's also mention his starring role in
the terrible, Brothers and his messy divorce
(oh New York Post, you fantastic print version of wikipedia that no one can/wants
to edit after the fact). All in all it has been a rough couple of
post-championship years for the boys in blue.
So, what can we look forward to in this game, drawn
up by the morons who believe that all people want is a steady diet of mediocrity
from the eastern seaboard? (When it comes to sports, that is. I prefer my
political mediocrity from the East Coast, but also from Chicago and the West
Coast, with one notable exception.)
Well, let's see: Brian Orakpo has turned out to be pretty good, and it will be
fun to see the close-ups and try to guess which players/coaches/NFL
employees/cheerleaders/fans will be looking for new employment soon. (ECONOMY! I
am one health care joke away from turning this into the Christmas Sweater. Well,
that and a self-hate that turns itself outward towards any who disagree with me.
Um ... okay, let's say that and a NAPA sponsorship.) It is our second-to-last
broadcast of the year and will probably be the last coherent one, since we will
be inviting a lot of un-miked guests to the last one so we'll probably be
talking to them a lot of the time but it will sound like a (boring) party! So
we'll see you tonight at 8:30pm EST! Listen at the link below.
Foot Ballz Talk is a live internet broadcast in which "two guys talk
about football during a Monday night and play records." It is produced
by Mac and TD (familiar to fans of the musical endeavors Big Digits and Bodega Girls), and has been described by us (not by them) as "Mystery Pigskin Theater 3000." Each Monday, we'll publish the FBT preview of that night's contest. You can listen to Foot Ballz Talk on the internet, or follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Ted Beard spent parts of five seasons with the Pirates (1948-52) and two more with the Chicago White Sox (1957-58). He had tremendous longevity in the minors playing into his 40s in a career that topped two decades. He passed away on December 30, 2011 eight days short of his 91st birthday (Jan. 7).
Slight of stature (5'8", 165 lbs.) he was a reserve outfielder for parts of seven major league seasons (all were partial seasons in the majors - no complete MLB seasons.) .
The most playing time he had in the majors in a season was 64 games with the 1950 Pirates as opposed to only 29 games in the minors that year.
He began his pro career in 1942 and quickly reached the high minors. Altogether he spent over 15 years with AAA teams. This AAA tenure was split two ways with Indianapolis of the American Association and with Hollywood and San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League. He played full time until 1960 at age 39. He was then primarily a coach for three more years, occasionally being activated and seeing brief playing action in the 1961 through 1963 seasons. His chief stops in the minors were with AAA- Indianapolis - Amer. Assoc. 1947-51 and 1957-63 and with AAA Pacific Coast League teams Hollywood 1952-1954 and San Francisco 1955-1956.

Death & Dying
Living in the Face of Death
The Tibetan TraditionWhereas Western society views death as the last taboo, the Tibetan tradition incorporates meditation on death into everyday life. Tibetan Buddhists believe that a conscious awareness of one's own impermanence allows a person to live a happy, fulfilled life. Over the centuries, the Tibetans have developed a wide-ranging literature on death, including inspirational poetry and prose, prayers, and practical works on caring for the dying.

All things are Moleeds

It's the rampant hypocrisy that permeates debates about him when comparing him to other QBs that gets me.
Like, "Rodgers did nothing wrong when his packers lost to us in the 2011 playoff game--it was their defense lost that game, it was not Eli's performance (+ our defense) that won it", or in the 2007 SB, our defense (which DID play outstanding that game, I agree) won that game--should have been named MVP instead of Eli--not Eli's performance".
I don't find it necessary or valid to demean Rodgers' performance in the playoff game vs us (and to do so diminishes the Giants' performance that game, doesn't it?), but given that the Packers' defense was near the bottom of the league all season, and given they were 15-1 WITH that defense, it seems silly to blame their loss on "bad defense" in that particular game.
I just think all those who place so much emphasis upon Eli's notorious "inconsistency" miss the point of what makes a particular QB crucial to a particular team's success, especially given the Giants overall success during Eli's time with the club, so far.
People like to say things are either black or white, when in reality it's gray. One such example is that when people say that the Defense deserved the 2007 MVP and not Eli. They aren't saying that Eli did nothing to win that game. What they are saying though is that the defense did more. While Eli and the offense played well, what the defense did that day was more impressive. But what Eli fan boys hear is, "Eli did nothing. The defense should get the MVP". Then there is this whole thing with the tipped INTs in 2010. Eli People put all the blame on the WRs for the drops when in reality the blame was on both Eli and WRs. Bad passes vs balls that should have been caught.
When people say Eli's inconsistent, it really has no bearing on whether or not he's an effective, great, or good QB. It's just who he is. He has to SB victories and a resume that other QBs would die for. But until he fixes his inconsistency problems, he's going to be questioned time and time again.

So I've noticed this vary in original photos (especially for SE Fett), and I've also seen it differ between
troopers in the field...
Is there a definitive post on shin tool arrangement? And would it vary per Boba version?
I'm an approved SE Boba Fett. My usual arrangement has been:
Left Leg Outer: Survival Knift
Left Leg Inner: Anti Security
Right Leg Outer: Sonic Beam
Right Leg Inner: Jetpack Adjustment
I'm sure there's been a time or two where I've reversed something, especially for instances where we've had limited time to suit up.
Just curious what the consensus is...
