text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn February 27, 2008, at 2207 Pacific standard time, a Mooney M20C, N591BB, crashed during takeoff from Riverside Municipal Airport (RAL), Riverside, California. The co-owner/pilot was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The private pilot and two passengers were killed; the airplane was destroyed by impact forces and the post crash fire. The local personal flight was departing at the time, with a planned destination of Corona Municipal Airport (AJO), Corona, California. Visual night meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.Interviews with family and friends of the pilot and passengers indicated that the flight departed Corona for a local personal flight. The accident airplane landed at Riverside Airport about 2000. The pilot and passengers intended to eat at the airport restaurant, but the restaurant was closed. The pilot contacted his fiance, who drove to the airport to pick them up for dinner in the local area. After dinner they drove back to the airport, and the pilot and passengers boarded the airplane for the return flight to Corona. The fiance had left the airport prior to the airplane taking off and did not witness the accident.During takeoff a ground witness reported that once airborne the airplane was "porpoising" up and down as it flew towards him. As the airplane neared the end of the runway, he saw it make a steep climbing left turn. The witness stated that the airplane rolled inverted and descended towards the ground in a nose down attitude. The airplane then impacted a palm tree and a vehicle that was parked on a residential street located just south of the airport. After the airplane impacted the ground, the witness saw an explosion and a fire ball.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONA review of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airman records revealed that the 35-year-old pilot held a private pilot certificate with an airplane single-engine land rating.The pilot held a third-class medical certificate issued on October 14, 2007. It had no limitations or waivers.Investigators were able to examine the pilot's partially damaged logbook. The pilot had an estimated total flight time of about 230 hours, with an estimated 20 hours in the accident make and model. He completed a biennial flight review in February 2007.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe airplane was a Mooney M20C, serial number 2385. A review of the airplane's logbooks revealed an annual inspection dated February 8, 2008, which reported a total airframe time of 3,811 hours. The tachometer read 489 hours at the last inspection. The inspection was not completed until February 26, 2008, when the post maintenance flight was completed.A Lycoming O-360-A1D, serial number L-5431-36, had been installed on the airplane. Total time recorded on the engine at the last annual inspection was 3,844 hours, and time since major overhaul was 293 hours.The airplane was last fueled to maximum capacity by one of the co-owners about 4 days prior to the accident flight. After the airplane had been refueled, the co-owner reported that the airplane had flown a total of 1.5 hours by the accident pilot prior to the accident. Examination of the maintenance records revealed no unresolved maintenance discrepancies against the airplane prior to departure.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONSThe official weather reporting observation station was located at the Riverside Airport (RAL), .5 nautical miles (nm) north of the accident site. The elevation of the weather observation station was 819 feet mean sea level (msl). An aviation routine weather report (METAR) for RAL was issued at 2153. It stated: winds calm; visibility 10 miles; skies clear; temperature 12 degrees Celsius; dew point 05 degrees Celsius; altimeter 29.92 inches of Mercury.COMMUNICATIONSThe pilot was not in communication with air traffic control (ATC) at RAL as the tower was closed. A Riverside police helicopter pilot reported hearing the pilot of a Mooney report on the tower frequency (121.0) that he was taking off from Riverside airport via runway 16 (southbound). A few minutes later they were dispatched to an airplane accident south of the airport.AIRPORT INFORMATIONThe Airport/Facility Directory, Southwest U. S., indicated that RAL runway 16 was 2,850 feet long and 50 feet wide. The runway surface was asphalt.Riverside airport's main runway, 27/9, was closed per a Notice to Airman (Notam) due to inoperative runway lights. The Notam was issued on February 27, 2008, and canceled on February 28, 2008.WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONInvestigators examined the wreckage at the accident scene. The airplane had come to rest inverted at the base of a palm tree on the north side curb line of a residential street oriented along a 090-degree magnetic heading. The airplane was mostly consumed by a post impact fire, with the right wing coming to rest on top of an automobile.The impact damage to the palm tree and the street was consistent with the witness statements of the near vertical flight path of the airplane prior to impact. All of the airplane's primary structure and flight controls were accounted for at the accident site. Primary flight control system continuity was established.The engine exhibited no visible evidence of catastrophic mechanical malfunction. The fuel selector valve was selected on the left tank. Flaps and gear appeared to be retracted. The tail trim was measured and was set for takeoff.The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONThe Riverside County Coroner completed an autopsy. The FAA Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory Forensic Toxicology Research Team, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, performed toxicological testing of specimens of the pilot.Analysis of the specimens contained no findings for carbon monoxide, volatiles, and tested drugs.The report contained the following findings for Cyanide: 1.56 (ug/ml) detected in blood.TESTS AND RESEARCHInvestigators examined the airframe and engine with no mechanical anomalies identified that would have precluded normal operation. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONThe accident pilot, a new owner to the airplane partnership, had recently completed the insurance required make and model training. The accident flight was the first flight since the annual had been completed, as well as, the first flight for the accident pilot since attaining the insurance required training. In a written statement by the co-owner, which related that the accident pilot had discussed the weight and balance of his intended flight, and that with full fuel and his passengers he was still within limits of the airplane.No records were recovered showing that the pilot had ever used runway 16 at RAL previously.

After a long, rainy Sunday of shows, my last port of call was the Versace Teatro to view the Versus collection, Christopher Kane's second season working on Donatella Versace's diffusion line.
The dresses were beautifully constructed – either strapless or bustier bodices and most with short, full circle pleated skirts with stiff organza petticoats in steel blue, bright orange, plum, bottle green and black.
As last season, the collection is all about the dress but Christopher also studied the old Versus campaigns by Bruce Weber and introduced a 1990's rock'n'roll feeling in stone washed effect, cowboy prints on t-shirts and bags.
As the models lined up in colour groups for the identity parade-style finale, Christopher Kane's mentor Donatella Versace led him out from backstage by the hand for the well-deserved victory lap.

I first discovered Amaçari's tremendous anti-inflammatory properties after a serious back injury, followed by a flare up in an existing autoimmune disease I had been battling for years. Not only was I unable to participate in my favorite sports like tennis, golf and cycling, I struggled to get through most days without debilitating pain and fatigue. I embraced an anti-inflammatory diet and consequently, incorporated Amaçari into my daily regimen. Almost immediately I noticed differences. First, despite my poor health when I began taking Amaçari, I was constantly surrounded by people who were sick with colds and flus, yet I never became ill. A short time later I started noticing an increase in my energy level and I began to feel many of my symptoms subside. After a period of time, I was able to resume my normal activities and began working out again with surprisingly quick recoveries between workouts. I whole heartily believe that Amaçari helped me heal from the inside out and I plan to tell every person I know how amazing this product is.

Approximately 2 years ago a dear friend introduced me to Camu Camu. At the time, I was experiencing afternoon bouts of fatigue, extreme urges to eat sweets, irritability and overall lack of energy. My frustration grew as I was unable to exercise at the intensity level I was accustomed to. After taking Amaςari for 3 weeks my symptoms almost completely disappeared. I have sustaining energy all day long, and I sleep uninterrupted throughout the night. My sweet tooth is gone with the exception of an occasional chocolate Dove bar. By far the most noticeable change in my overall well-being is the effect Amaςari has had on my Menopause symptoms. The only change I've made in my daily regime is religiously taking 2 capsules first thing in the morning and 2 capsules in the evening. Being committed to an incredible, healthy, natural vitamin source such as the Camu berry sincerely helps motivate me to clean up the rest of my lifestyle and dietary choices. I can whole-heartedly say that since taking Amaςari and becoming aware of its healthy nutritional properties, my quality of life will forever be improved.
— Tamara F.
— Brooke M.
Amaçari has helped us through our back and knee problems that come hand in hand with combat aviation missions and has allowed us to push though each day with less pain. We have also found that our attitudes and stress levels have dropped off significantly since we started using Amaçari. We start every day with our pink pills. It is always good to know we have the support of the people back home.
— Tiger Shark B-Co.
— Mak T.
After 10 years of taking Camu Camu I have tried every last product on the market. There is nothing that comes close to the taste and quality of Amaςari. I have a degree in nutrition and microbiology, so I look closely to what is out on the market. Camu is an amazing berry that not only has a healthy dose of vitamin C but also has extraordinary antioxidant properties. My whole family likes it and believe it or not my kids actually ask for it. We have been taking it religiously for 2 years now. My kids have never been healthier!
— Beuchel Family.

I was recently hospitalized for a "Strep B" infection I contracted during a routine medical procedure. Going undetected, the infection spread so quickly that within 3 weeks it became life-threatening. I had developed an abscess on my lower spine which needed to be removed surgically. I lost 20 pounds and was too weak to walk on my own. Being a professional tennis coach for 30 years, I feared not being able to teach again. I was turned on to Amaçari by a good friend who encouraged me to take 5-8 capsules a day for 2 weeks to help reduce inflammation and restore my immune system. After nearly 10 days I noticed an increase in energy and a considerable reduction in my pain. Not only has my attitude improved, I can now return to the courts. Advantage Amaçari!

The position I have to be in as a horse farrier has made for big hip pain and was doing damage to my golf swing. As a trainer, farm owner, farrier and avid golfer, I was experiencing more pain, loss of energy and a bit of focus. My golfing buddy told me about Amaçari and how it has the purest form of Camu Camu on the market. He told me how the naturally harvested berry from the Amazon contains the highest natural vitamin c of any plant in the kingdom. What caught my attention, being an aging boomer was how its other natural nutrients and antioxidants help with issues surrounding inflammation, immune function, energy and memory. So, I started taking three Amaçari capsules at 3:00 am every morning. Within the first week I felt more alert and energetic. Within a month the pain in my hips had subsided and my golf swing had improved tremendously. In fact, the other day, one of my customers remarked that I had a little more life in my step. No more chemicals for my inflammation!

Anchored in God
Summer hours continue. Daily Episcopalian will publish every other day this week.
By Kathy Staudt
In several different contexts over the past month, I've been brought up short again by this quotation from Evelyn Underhill's The Spiritual Life. She writes: "a spiritual life is simply a life in which all that we do comes from the centre, where we are anchored in God." It came up at the annual Quiet Day in honor of Evelyn Underhill, at Washington National Cathedral, and at a conference I was leading on Poetry and the Journey toward God, where we listened for the ways that poems can be an invitation, an opening, a first step into prayer-- into what Mary Oliver calls "a silence in which/ another voice may speak." Underhill invites readers to think about people they've known either personally or through the tradition who reflected this confidence -- insisting that this life from the center is available to "normal people"; it is not some kind of superhuman spiritual achievement.
That same image of the anchor comes up in a spiritual we sing sometimes at my home parish, a hymn by Mother Jones that says what we all know about what we need -- particularly timely nowadays:
"In times likes these, we need a Saviour;
in times like these, we need an anchor
I'm very sure, I'm very sure
My anchor holds, upon the so-lid-rock.
(If you know the tune you'll recognize how the tune and the meter leave us "anchored" in the rock, who is Jesus).
The anchor image is a good one, actually, because it suggests that even though we may drift, we ultimately know where we are, and there is a place we can get back to. And the spiritual life, considered as an integral part of our journey of faith and mission, is about grounding all that we do in the love and power of a reality beyond our inventions, prejudices, even righteous political positions , and a justice and mercy beyond our own making. Perhaps a fruitful direction for meditation is this: what causes me to drift away from where I am anchored? And what brings me up short, and pulls me back? This anchor image reflects a solidity of faith that many of us yearn for in ourselves and in our leaders. How do we get back to that, individually and collectively? And what sets us adrift?
So often our discussions of church life, governance, mission, and denominational politics seem to lose track of this kind of vision -- to reflect more familiar cultural values of marketing, institutional survival, or for leaders, personal mental health and self-care. Somewhere recently (Was it on the Café? I can't remember.) I even ran across some discussion about how church leaders and clergy find they may not believe in God any more, and that's just how it is (though we can be reassured that even if clergy have a crisis of faith this does not affect the validity of the sacraments). I've been musing about how often, in the privacy of a spiritual direction conversation, people have been relieved but surprised when I've raised the question: "so where is God in all this?" Something makes us forget to ask this question, whatever image that word "God" carries for us. It has become almost a commonplace that spiritual burnout is an inevitable outcome of ministry -- but I keep asking myself, why do we settle for this? Don't we believe that there is something on offer in the life of faith? Some centering point that can draw us back to what is most real to us? At some point in most of our lives, someone's centered faith helped bring us into the life of the church to begin with. So why is it so hard to keep track of that "centre, where we are anchored in God?"
I'm just raising the question, today. I suppose (and hope) that for many Café readers this will all seem obvious, perhaps not worth mentioning, but I've been brought up short by that quote from Underhill, and that "anchor" image, enough times lately to wonder whether there is something there worthy of continued meditation. Since genuine faith is usually "caught" rather than "taught," I am wondering what the church would look like if more of us in leadership paid closer attention to where our faith is "anchored, " and to what it takes for us, in our own particular lives, to relocate and find our center, in a quiet, undramatic, and "normal" way. The answers will be different for each person, but I think they're good questions, and they've been helpful to my own meditations over this past month.

Don't forget about Friday's mailbag — we'll have a full one this week, we promise.
From the "Talks Too Much Studios" here we go.
Dodgers Blue no more
Growing up a big baseball fan in Smyrna, Ga., right outside Atlanta, it makes complete sense that the 5-at-10 has been a lifelong Dodgers fan, right? Of course not, but that's how it goes. (The best present we can remember from Santa was a "real-life" Starter Dodgers' bullpen jacket just like the ones the big leaguers wore. It was awesome.)
Well, the Dodgers recent decade of struggles and embarrassments have not gone unnoticed. In fact, the Dodgers are one of "those" franchises in sports that simply should be better than average every year. For the franchise, its fans and the sport. Baseball is better when the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Braves and Cubs are better than most. Football is more enjoyable when the Cowboys, Steelers, Raiders and Packers are competitive. The NBA feels right when the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls are relevant. Call this big-city bias, call it sports' sense of entitlement, call it whatever you like. But it's true and it's simple — these are the teams that generate feeling and emotion from the fans, and everyone knows it's much better when sports are laced with feeling.
Anyhoo, the Dodgers appear to be emerging from the dark cloud that was Frank and Jamie McCourt's destructive tenure as owners. And it appears that Magic Johnson, the former Lakers superstar and unofficial ambassador of L.A., is a key figure in the group that is paying $2 billion — yes, billion with a 'B' — for the Dodgers. Sure, Magic is putting a relative small part of the $2 billion — yes, billion with a 'B' — but still, it's Magic and it's Magic smile and it's what L.A. sports should be.
And yes, there are nine-figure adjustments to the aging cathedral that is Dodger Stadium and close to nine-figure adjustments to the rosters of the major league and minor league clubs. (Not sure how this affects the Chattanooga Lookouts, the Dodgers' AA affiliate, but we'll look into it.)
But those questions are for another day for Dodgers fans. This day was about moving forward with new owners. This day was about taking away the pain and the darkness that was arguably the worst decade in the franchise's storied history. This day was about re-found belief.
This day was about believing in Magic.
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton
Payton speaks
After his historic suspension for the 2012 season, New Orleans coach of the past/future Sean Payton spoke to the media Tuesday.
Here are the highlights:
— He's grateful for the chance to appeal Roger Goodell's year-long suspension (and his loss of almost $6 million is salary) for Payton's role in Bounty-gate and his decision to ignore the league's requests and attempts to cover-up the Bounty process.
— He's has spoken with Bill Parcells and apparently played golf with the legendary former NFL coach known as the "Big Tuna." The two sides are obviously kicking the tires on the possibility of Parcells roaming the sidelines for the Saints this fall.
— He's "100 percent" sure he'll be the Saints' coach in 2013.
OK, great Sean. Just great.
First off, skip the appeal. Just do it. You got caught trying to make this mess go away, and that's what the year is for. The bounty is bad enough but if the NFL can;t force the head coaches to enforce their rules, well, the system is broken way beyond Bounty-gate, Spy-gate, Open-gate or even Gateway to the West.
As for the other, for kicks and giggles, let's say Parcells takes the reins, goes 14-2 and wins a title — but does it without bounties and injuring opposing QBs — what happens then in 2013. Hey, Payton is a great coach and he'll have more jobs in the future, but 2013 is a long way off. And if football terms and the NFL realm — where everyone has a bounty on their job — one season is a lifetime.
NBA update
It's been a while sense we've given the NBA a look-see.
Well, there is much noise afoot.
The Lakers have benched Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum on separate occasions in the last week. As Kobe said recently, the Lakers are in third place and everyone believes they are imploding. Maybe they are maybe they aren't, but Kobe still has final say on who is coming out of the West. Period.
Reports from Miami state LeBron James may have dislocated the ring finger on his left (non-shooting) hand. James is on an Oscar Robertson-type pace this season — averaging 26.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game — and looks the part of a sure-fire MVP. How this affects him is unknown of course, but here's saying the numbers and injuries will not alter what will determine James' season. The final factor on whether LeBron had a good year or not will be determined this June in the final quarters of the NBA finals. Period.
There's more of course — Oklahoma City and Chicago pulling away with the conference leads — but the big storylines are the Lakers and LeBron.
This and that
— Dennis Rodman owes more than $850,000 in child support and alimony. His lawyer says Rodman, who made a hair less than $27 million playing for four different NBA teams, is broke and an alcoholic. (Side note: Rodman was the Andrew Luck — the sure-fire No. 1 pick — of the "Which former NBA all-star is going to be broke next after Allen Iverson" draft.)
— Freddie Freeman homered twice in a rare Braves' spring training win Tuesday. Freeman is now up to .262 this spring with five homers — four in the last two games. He'll be fine and be part of a strong top five in the Braves order that likely will be Michael Bourne, Martin Prado, Brian McCann, Dan Uggla, Freeman. That's a nice group. From there, however, it slides — especially until Chipper Jones returns from his knee injury. The strikeout law firm of Heyward, Diaz and whichever rookie plays short has been swinging like rusty gates this spring.
— UConn and Notre Dame completed the women's Final Four, denying our resident UK fan Chas9 of a UK double-up in the Final Four. Alas. The bigger question for the women's game is where have the upsets gone. There were four 1-vs.-2 matchups that produced a Final Four of four No. 1 seeds. Either there is simply zero balance of power or the women's committee is a collection of Joe Lunardis on bracket steroids.
— The New York Giants will host the Dallas Cowboys to open the NFL season. Is that next week? Alas, no it's not until September.
— Programming note: We're planning on stopping by the spacious and luxurious SportTalk studios for some, you guessed it, sports talk around 4ish today. Give it a listen if you can, don't cost nothing.
Today's question
Who's the best coach at the Final Four? Why?
Yes, these are four college basketball big-boy programs. Yes, these are four coaches who have earned some serious accolades.
But who's the best and why? And we're looking right now, at this moment, who would you want to coach your club.
Right now we'd rank them:
- Bill Self
- Coach Cal
- Ricky P
- That guy at Ohio State that choose coaching over being a science teacher... Thad what's his name.
(Career-wise, we'd go Pitino, Self, Calipari, Matta, but the question is who is the best coach right now.)
Jay was named the Sports Editor of the Times Free Press in 2003 and started with the newspaper in May 2002 as the Deputy Sports Editor. He was born and raised in Smyrna, Ga., and graduated from Auburn University before starting his newspaper career in 1997 with the Newnan (Ga.) Times Herald. Stops in Clayton and Henry counties in Georgia and two years as the Sports Editor of the Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal preceded Jay's ...
I'd have to say, all waitresses aside Pitino has done the best job to get his team to the Final Four. Now they may fold when the Kats come purring. Of the four teams, Louisville is the least likely one I'd have thought would be there. As for Payton, it is a tough row to hoe but he made the bed and needs to lie in it(that's posture not untruthtelling). Tuna will come and work the fish magic in Nawluns for one year. But that could illicit a Tunaistic rebirth and who knows where that could lead. It might make New Orleans a Payton-Place! The NBA, anybody can be benched even those top dogs if they do not pony up when the coach calls on them(yeah right). The Lakers have a lot to prove this year and it is yet to be seen that they will do it. LeBron has everything to prove, MVP or not, until he wins the whole shooting match. Could this be the year for the Heat to burn the competition? We'll know soon enough. By the way, when is the Draft(thefiveatspinlovesthedraftyouknow)? I'm tired of hearing about it dissected, misdirected, and speculatively mutilated. When does it actually happen? Spring football has begun.
L4L--Good post, especially the waitress line. When discussing Ricky P, you should lay all your cards on the table.
5er--No double double, but the Lady Kats have a bright future. I tend toward your theory tat there's a stratification of women's talent. The Irish sure looked strong.
The men's Final Four is a heartland thing, no coastal teams. Imagine the tight geographic cluster it'd have been if Ohio or Indiana were there in place of Kansas. Kinda like a subway series in baseball. Wonder what's the smallest Final Four geographic circle ever?
Bill Self. Why? Just look at your list. Cher, Sting, Bill Self, and E.F. Hutton.
10 Spot, I apologize for not addressing your question as to USA or else, definately not Els.
Just a taste on the US side brings Tiger, Phil, Hunter Mahan, Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley.
For the Euro Tour there's Luke Donald, Rory, McDowell, Rose, Westwood just to name a few.
I believe the Euros to be as stacked today as they ever where in the 1980's when Seve kicked down the club house door at Augusta bringing all his friends with him including two time champ and Ryder Cup partner José María Olazábal.
Any chance Magic comes to pay AT&T Field a visit?
5ish, One of those satin jackets? Sweet. While Magic's name is the in big lights, how about how key it is for that group to have Stan Kasten on board? (He is, isn't he?) Dude knows something about being baseball organizations.
The best coach in the Final Four? Each one of them. Or at least that's what they think.
There is far, far less parity in the women's game than in the men's game. A Butler gets to two straight final games on the men's side. Since when does a non-power conference team crack the distaff Final Four? Look at the regular season scores and even the postseason scores. Lots of blowouts. No competition can lead to non-interest. (A lot of other things can too but I am trying to be nice).
Well played sir.
Pitino has done a great job the last six-plus weeks getting this group refocused.
And the draft is April 26-28. The 5-at-10 loves the draft, but you already know this.
9er —
We'll look into the circle theory. Interesting idea.
We concur about Self. And which one is Cher? Is there a Lady Gag-Gag in the mix, too?
FE to the C —
We'd take the Euros, too. And think Lee Westwood may have his time in the sun.
Choptalker —
We sure hope so. Our boy Weeds would definitely be in attendance.
— 5-at-10
Spy —
Look at you embracing the softer side, and being all polite to women's hoops and everything.
Great call on Kasten. Dude has some serious knowledge. That said, great call by the money folks to make Magic the face of this deal. It's getting huge play and everyone in L.A. loves the dude.
In fact, this move is so popular, there may be folks 10 years from now who will remember McCourt somewhat kindly for being the guy that sold the team to Magic. How crazy would that be?
— 5-at-10
From friend of the show StuckinKent
There's no doubt that Bill Self has done the best job this year. Sure, Pitino's bunch was the lowest seeded team to make the Final Four. They also were preseason #8 and were as high as #4 in December. Kansas, on the other hand, was gutted, and everyone couldn't figure out why they were ranked #13 in the preseason. People were saying that this was the year that Kansas would finally not win the Big 12, and I thought preseason they were a borderline Top 25 team. When they played Kentucky in NYC back in early December (or was it late November- I forget....it was the night Coach K set the record for wins against Michigan State, and the Mocs had a game that night too, but I forget against who), Kansas played OK for a half, but were clearly outmatched in the second half. The game was not as close as the final score indicated- UK could have won by 20 if they kept their foot to the pedal. If you told me then that Kansas would be a Final Four team, I would have laughed at you. Louisville was overrated in December too. Calipari is always tough to figure out- he has the best talent every year, and he gets them to perform and even improve while he's coaching them. But his gameday coaching leaves something to be desired. Matta is a great coach (even if he has yet to figure out what this whole substitution pattern thing is), but this is an elite list of coaches. I guess he has to be fourth on the list. It's hard to do better than this list of coaches.
As far as the Braves go, Freddie Freeman needs to save some of those homers for the regular season. I have him on my fantasy team, and want him to hit them when they actually help me. Plus the whole thing about how the spring training games don't count.
Finally, Final Four contest or no?
and to think ... McCourt was all set to buy his hometown town, the Red Sox, when Bud Selig steered the deal to the Corleones, I mean, John Henry and Tom Werner. Thus begat two World Series titles on one coast and several years of miasma on the other. A lot of folks cried foul on the deal but it turned out to be one of Selig's better maneuvers.
StuckinKent —
Great breakdown. Well-played indeed.
Yes, we're going to have the Kemba Walker Memorial Shootout, Final Four edition.
Here's the ground rules:
Pick two players (can be from the same team can be from different teams); most total points scored wins; submit your picks in the order of which player you think will score the most (first tie-breaker if people submit similar entries will be the points scored from the top dogs — this means if you enter Jared Sullinger and Thomas Robinson, it's not the same exact entry as Thomas Robinson and Jared Sullinger; further tie breakers will be announced as needed).
First prize will be a Final Four T-shirt.
Who's in?
Spy —
It's not one of Selig's finests if your a Dodgers fan, though.
— 5-at-10
9er —
On Saban — of course you can. Look at Tom Cruise. He's like the archiduke of Scientology and dude is like 5-foot-2. In heels.
Deadline will be Saturday at noon.
We'll start with our professed two favorite players not wearing AU uniforms:
5-at-10 — Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Thomas Robinson
— 5-at-10
OK, now we're rolling and here's the first list with some of the e-mail entries, too.
5-at-10 — Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Thomas Robinson
McPell — Tyshawn Taylor and Anthony Davis
scole023 — Thomas Robinson and Anthony Davis
Follower — MKG and Jared Sullinger
Tiger — William Buford and Michael Kidd Gilchrist
OTWatcher — Anthony Davis and MKG
— 5-at-10
9er —
Hard to argue against Denmon — dude made huge play after huge play for one of the nation's best REGULAR season teams. (And no we're not the least bit bitter about Missouri wrecking our bracket.)
Canaan was what it was — the media voting for the best player for lovable mid-major storyline.
MKG is a better player than each — he will be the No. 2 or No. 3 pick in the draft this summer if he enters — and we can see Denmon making it. Canaan is laughable.
Early this season we called MKG a "Rodrick Rhodes who cared" but that was selling MKG short. Right now, at this young age he's super-shiny Swiss Army knife — a more polished Scottie Pippen — and has the ceiling to be a Carmelo Anthony that plays good-to-great defense. Dude can ball. Period.
Isaiah Canaan... Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Right.

Music Library resources
All items in the Library have been assigned a classification number (classmark) and are arranged on the shelves in that order. Please be advised that most classmarks used in libraries around the world make use of decimals, which means that an item with the numbers 1.127 will be filed before 1.13.
Books are arranged on the shelves according to subject, and the classmark on each book reflects this. Items with classmarks beginning in ML (L = Literature) generally contain biographies (ML410), histories and other musicological topics, and can be found on the rolling shelves. Items with classmarks beginning MT (T = Theory/Technique) are more technically orientated and can be found in the Memorial Reading Room in the glass cabinets on the right-hand side.
School of Music PhD theses from the past five years, MT and ML folio books, and general reference materials such as local street maps, dictionaries for a variety of languages and style guides can all be found in the Memorial Reading Room.
Music reference materials such as thematic and composer catalogues, abstracts, indexes, music encyclopædias and dictionaries can be found in the Multimedia Room, opposite the CDs.
Scores are located on the rolling shelves. They begin with collections of musical sources (M1 and M2) and continue with the works of individual composers (M3). Collected editions and facsimiles are integrated with the performance and larger study scores.
Miniature scores are located at the end of the Main Room and extend into the Memorial Reading Room, while folio and elephant folio scores are located in the Photocopy and Print Room.
Journals are arranged alphabetically by title on the wall of the Main Room. Older journal issues are held in both "Store" and "Music Store". Please ask for assistance in obtaining these items. In addition, many journals are available electronically. You can access these through LibrarySearch or through Cardiff Portal.
CDs, DVDs and videos are on shelves in the Multimedia Room arranged in order of when they were added to the collection. LPs are located in Music Store, and require assistance from the Library staff to access.
Choir and orchestra
Much of the material you will need for choir and orchestra will be processed by the Library, but distributed via the Concert Coordinator and choir/orchestra monitors. These loans will not form part of your normal loan allowance. All items will be due for return the day following the concert (or final concert if there is more than one). All scores and parts must be returned promptly as many are borrowed from other institutions.
Other music resources in Cardiff University
University Library Service
Music special collections are held in SCOLAR (Special Collections and Archives) and can be accessed by appointment through the University Archivists. Music materials (including many music scores and CDs) for the University's LEARN programme can be found in the Senghennydd Library.
Interdisciplinary studies in fields such as acoustics, culture, politics, sociology, therapy, and journalism have lead to the existence of many relevant music titles in other libraries, in particular the Arts and Social Studies and Bute Libraries.
School of Music
The School of Music maintains its own collection of choir, orchestra and study score sets, as well as supplementary collections in support of their two research centres. The School also holds its own archives, including the newly-added Fairley World Music Collection.
Accessing music resources outside of Cardiff University

About Riverfront Nights
Friends of the Festival presents this free six-show series over seven Saturday nights beginning Aug. 3 at the 21st Century Waterfront.
Performance schedule
Aug. 3 -- Cody Canada & The Departed. Canada formerly fronted Cross Canadian Ragweed and has gone solo with his countrified Southern-rock chops. Or, maybe it's Southern-fried country chops.
* Opener: No Big Deal. These guys have been local favorites for years, playing a mix of covers and originals.
Aug. 10 -- New Orleans Suspects. A New Orleans supergroup featuring members of the Neville Brothers, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Radiators, Outformation and sax player Kevin Harris, who was a founding member of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
* Opener: The Stratoblasters. Another local favorite on the dance and party circuit for almost two decades.
Aug. 17 -- Desert Noises. Folks on this side of the Mississippi River may not know them, but they've been described as what Coldplay or Radiohead might have sounded like if they'd grown up in the Rocky Mountains.
* Opener: The Power Players. In keeping with the night's mystery theme, these guys might not be as well known locally as they should be, given the power of their horn-infused sonic funk-punch.
Aug. 24 -- Off for Southern Brewer's Festival (See Friday's Times Free Press for more, including the musical lineup).
Aug. 31 -- Ana Popovic. She's big in her native Serbia and throughout Europe, and now lives in Memphis.
* Opener: Rick Rushing and the Blues Strangers. Local blues fans already know about Rushing and his band.
Sept. 1 -- Seven Handle Circus. These Georgia boys approach bluegrass music with the attitude of a rock or punk band. Nightfall fans will remember them as the group that filled in when the legendary Wanda Jackson had to back out.
* Opener: 27 South. These guys will remind all the "long-haired country boys" out there that Southern rock is not dead.
Sept. 14 -- Alan Evans Trio. Soulive fans will recognize Evans as the co-founder of that group along with brother Neal. The group plays jazz-infused funk.
* Opener: Smooth Dialects. Imagine if "Gwen Stefani dressed more like Marilyn Monroe but sounded more like Mae West and had a punk streak that spread to her band's attitude" -- or at least that's how the group has been described.
From a rock band that is big out West to a singer who's a star in her native Poland, the Riverfront Nights lineup is rife with quality acts that might not yet be on your playlist.
At least that is what organizers tried to put together when they made out the list.
"I feel real good about the series," says Jeff Styles, event organizer with Friends of the Festival, which produces Riverfront Nights.
While the list includes some artists who are not radio mainstays here, they are well-known in certain music circles, he says. Ana Popovic, for example, is a leading blues artist in Europe, where the genre is very popular.
"Every blues act in the region wanted to be the opening act," he says. "Ana will blow people away, and so will the [New Orleans] Suspects. They do some of the most interesting covers I've ever heard. Some really cool versions of obscure songs."
The Suspects feature members of the Neville Brothers, Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the Radiators while the rest of the Riverfront lineup includes the former lead singer of Cross Canadian Ragweed and the founder of Soulive.
The concerts for the eighth annual series are always family and dog-friendly with an outdoor and eco-friendly theme.
Businesses and charities that promote healthy lifestyles, outdoor activities and green-friendly ideas will talk about what they do, Styles says.
Comcast, through its On Demand service, will present the "Riverfront Nights-Get Local" channel featuring all the musical acts, charities and sponsors spotlighted each week.
"The Dog Pound," which originally was almost an afterthought, according to Styles, has become a popular place to hang out with your dog. "Do Good Chattanooga" and "Good Dog" have teamed with Tennessee American Water and its oversized water bowl to create a "VIP" area just for four-legged friends.
All Riverfront Nights shows are child and pet friendly. Coolers are not allowed. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Local opening bands start around 7 p.m. Headliners hit their first note about 8 p.m.

The current network of broadcast transmission towers that carry TV signals to your home can be retrofitted to also deliver a Mobile DTV signal. That signal has the ability to deliver local, full-motion digital broadcasts on multiple mobile devices, without the need for additional broadcast spectrum.
The Mobile DTV platform enables local TV stations to deliver live, digital content to ATSC-capable mobile and video devices such as mobile phones, portable media players, laptop computers, personal navigation devices and automobile-based "infotainment systems." The service is "in-band", meaning local broadcasters are providing mobile TV services as part of their terrestrial transmission within the same, existing 6 MHz channel they use for their current ATSC DTV programming.
With little cost, broadcasters can install a Mobile DTV exciter and signal encoding equipment on existing TV transmission systems and gain the ability to transmit a robust, digital mobile TV signal. Consumers will receive that signal on various Mobile DTV devices. The Mobile DTV system allows the splitting of the 19.4 Mb/s of capacity into a slice for delivery to current DTV receivers and a slice for Mobile DTV technology that can be received on new Mobile DTV-capable receivers.
Digital TV allows for bandwidth flexibility, providing a number of possibilities for broadcasters to divide bandwidth and distribute channel usage. The illustrations below show examples of channel usage for mobile operation.
Mobile DTV enables broadcasters to deliver consistent performance and functionality across a range of service requirements:
Video enabled devices capable of receiving broadcast TV services continue to be developed and upgraded by manufacturers. These devices include mobile phones, portable media players, laptop computers, personal navigation devices and automobile-based "infotainment" equipment.
Almost always on hand, the mobile phone is an essential device for connecting to millions of viewers.
Live local broadcasts make the traditional mode of watching video on-the-go even more mobile.
The laptop is the perfect device for bundling broadcast television with a large screen viewing area.
On-the-road or in the park this ever increasingly popular device is used by millions today for their day-to-day activities.
Whether after-market or stock mobile DTV is the perfect addition to the family vehicle.

Green Day Biography
Review The Artist (152)
Source: www.GDA.com
Punk has been arranged and dragged so much, its aged prematurely. Bands have evolved and even died as its progressive strain mutates and grows. Being a genre so bratty, angst ridden, and fucked around, punk is a recycled phenomenon. Its infectious armour heals after a continuous battering. 1989 may have offered a revival, a medication to ease niggling pains. A band offered a drug with impact more potent than domestic painkillers. This trio offered their own formula, a concoction of highly fuelled shouts, layered with their own views.
1989 was the year were a certain venue housed a band on the road to future greatness and milestones. Gilman Street reeked of punk, sweat and promise. A modest starting point for bands to elevate and nurture together. To talk about their dreams, their analysis of Rock and Roll. Fans swapped stories of their times in Gilman, bands jumped and showered themselves in their faithfulls passion.
Sweet Children formed under the bright lights of Gilman, a band made up of bratty latch-key teenagers. Kids who mastered the art of rolling doobies and drinking beer. But music was a passion they all shared, a cause they could confide in. Gilman would become a lair they could showcase a musical intent, with fiery, ultra-angst songs that the crowd would relate to. Of course, Sweet Children weren't a finished article; they were a band growing easily without sprouting beyond their years.
Lead singer/Song writer Billie Joe Armstrong was born into a family of modest workers; a home life with comfortable settings, his mother earned a living darting around Roy's Hickory Pit, and his Father worked as driver for renowned brand 'Safeway'. So life was fairly modest at the early age for an inspiring rock star. Billie became musical at a tender time, releasing his first record under fiat records when he was only five. His young vocal tone was a subtle reminder of his potential, but punk seemed a distant venture at that age. Vocally sweet and nostalgic, Billie became a star of epic proportion, it was just the commence. Billie didn't suit the child star uprise, punk would stray him away from media scrutiny, it was a genre he would upgrade and innovate in years to come.
Bass Guitarist Mike Pritchard and drummer Al Kiffmeyer (Al Sobrante) would aid Armstrong on his Punk/Rock assault. Mike's attributes as a guitar maestro offered a density to the band, diverse spark s of rawness and sound the act needed for progress. Al sobrante contributed flair and appeal on a scale the female species craved, he was a drummer on a mission to get laid, as so were the rest of the trio. Sweet Children were formed, and Gilman Street opened its palms to them. Sweet Children would later become Green Day, a name inspired by the bands relationship with weed. A substance so meaningful to them, it deserved an inclusion. Drug relation may have inspired the bands later gems.
But times change, minds alternate and band members split from the charge, and al Sobrante did just that. The drummer ventured into a college education when Green Day were still raw and under development, but will always be held in high esteem as the drummer who witnessed the commence of something special. The act hired a drummer with a fun infused aura they needed, humour goes far in Punk Music. Frank Edwin Wright 11 Aka (Tre Cool) filled the missing void, a stupendous drumming powerhouse who bolstered the bands quality factor, Green Day was fully fledged and ready to rise against the world.
By 1989, Green Day became a force. A respected pact in Gilman and in the fume of Berkeley. The crowd lapped up the rawness; inhaling the wisdom they were being served. Gilman was a cotton wool overcoat for Green Day, a stage that paid homage to them. Branching out of Gilman was on the cards, as the band released their first EP, 1039 Smooth in 1989 under Lookout records. Lookout records was an independent label founded by Musician Lawrence Livermore who spotted the band in its glory and later captured their signature.
1039 smooth later morphed into a fully classified track list. 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours was a characteristic voyage for the outfit, a direction that was needed. A modest account of teenage life, a plot fuelled by angst, sexual neglection and suburban alienation. That was a viewpoint the band had on their home life, a viewpoint they and thousands of other teenagers tried to address. Music was the only suppressant, a pleasure button they could press without being disregarded. Green Day first outing was a success. 1039 was an instant slab of punk, simply coordinated and brash, but punk/rock isn't supposed be clean and groomed. Lookout found a hidden gem, and that started to shine brighter.
Smoothed sounded mature, lyrically sound and exuberant. From the first pace of 'At the Library' to the rage and disapprovement 'Of Why Do You Want Him' Billie Joe's vocals were raw, cranky, and radical, with a right tone of Punk. From the starting point Green Day ignited Rock, stating a new revolution and bratty music bloomed and once again became lively. With music so angst ridden it became the norm. Featuring their own account, their own Punk formula, and a musical trio served justice.
Green Day ventured again into the recording studio in 1991.,to develop their second lookout release. Kerplunk was on the radar, a album lying on the same lines as Smoothed. An album yet again reviewed their teenage growing pains, with songs overblown with young angst. Kerplunk soled thousands of copies making lookout a prime fortune as well building the labels reputation. 'Christie Road, 'Welcome to Paradise' were all placed among Kerplunk's armoury. Songs that showed songwriters emphasise of his own self awareness.
Green Day eventually outgrew Gilman, they had and unmatched lead in Punk/Rock by the early 90's. The venue that housed the band on their crusade had quickly became out of favour. The band played their last show in front of a crowd that were there from the very beginning, witnessing the band nurture and evolve into a true fixture. 1993 reared its head quickly; and Green Day ended their stay with Lookout Records to venture into Major league status. Lookout was a great nurturing sector for the trio who were destined to hit scales other Lookout recruits could only dream of. By 1993 Green Day signed a lavish deal with Reprise. A Record label build by Warner Bros, the company who were true leaders in film. Green Day would agree to undertake the task of releasing 5 studio albums under the Major label. And the band wasted no time in contributing.
Green Day latched onto a genre like leeches prowling for blood. The Berkeley Trio's innovation under the splitting lights of punk rock was prominent in why the 90s was such a wholesome decade, with music so angst ridden it became the norm. Featuring their own account, their own Punk formula, and the Berkeley trio served justice when 94 arrived. The band set the punk/Rock fuse alight with an array of fast-paced, in your face gems. Dookie would land in 1994, taking the act to distant angles in Rock. Bolstering their reputation of being the next darlings of Punk.
Dookie still harboured the same raw emotion and intent as prior records. It was just more homogenised, with more defined and professional input. Yet again the album's content previewed the acts analysis of sexual disarray. Featuring an in depth look at Humdrum life, the desire to get laid as well a weed influence, would you expect any less? Dookie was an awesome leap forward in terms of maturity and wealth. The songs were 2.minute lashings of punk in all its glory. From the outset to the conclusion, fans were left over-awed and musically junkiified.
Dookie's decisive inclusion elevated the band to a broader future. The tracks were of higher quality, with a silky vocal overlay. From the drum infused intro of 'Burnout' to the calming, soothing aftermath of 'FOD' of course still flew into loud-mouthed belter. 'Welcome to Paradise' was given a new sheen as it was to good to be shelved. 'Basket Case' would become an instant hit, a flamboyant analysis of insanity. Overall, Dookie was a milestone, and it was only Green Day's third full length album, that showed class. Dookie was conceived as the next great album after Nirvana's masterpiece never mind. It took the band to sufficient places, making the act 10 million sellers. Dookie would later be praised gold, and be acclaimed by artists and critics alike.
1995 would be the year insomnia reeked havoc. Green Day took a spell out of the fast-paced train ride of punk, by becoming family men. Billie Joe was granted father-ship, so his rock star charge was put on a back-burner. The band needed a record to match or even overtake Dookie's groundbreaking stance as their elevator to true punk/rock prominence, and an album influenced by sleepless nights would become the challenger. With a dark overtone, insomniac was released in late 95. An overbearing urge to get noticed again was put in remission; insomniac may have been a dampener as couldn't quite aim high enough. Not as fundamental or glittering as Dookie, but Musician's mature.
Dookie spoke of teenage growing pains, masturbation, weed, and humdrum suburbia. Insomniac spoke of family values, as the band entered new places. All though insomniac wasn't a consistent inspiration as the masterpiece that cemented Green Day, the album had its fair share of jewels. Opening with slickness, 'Armatage Shanks' starts a healthy track list. Billie Joe writes about a mindset engulfed with dread and self-disregard. The singer enters a darker world, maturing heavily when bellowing out insomniac's profound content. The catchy 'Stuck with me' has a Dookie influence, not sticking to insomniac's deep tone. 'Geek Stink Breath' quirky intro settles into a belter that beds into the mind, insomniacs has a knack of achieving such things. A song discussing the consequences of Crystal Meth, a substance that's ridden in America's drug underworld. Insomniac's growth misses a few inches. As follow up albums go, it's half-measured, and half-inspiring as Dookie. But still packed enough classics to keep the fans craving another slice.
Insomniac sells where heavily inferior to that of Dookie's. The band only shifted 5 million copies, still a hefty margin, but disappointing considering prior achievements. If it was only a basic poster boy band that earned sales of that magnitude, then the World would sit and take notice, but Green Day is a special band, and special bands should top statistics and learn from media scrutiny. Fans argued and shared their thoughts on Insomniac; some even stated that it outclassed Dookie, some called for its execution, that's how stern Music followers can be. Green Day then took a break from the overhaul of Music's stronghold as two years passed without a sound.
In 1997, Green Day burrowed out of hibernation with 4th instalment Nimrod. A layered album breaching the darkness, and fierce undertone of Insomniac. Green Day was entering modern times, music angled towards pop/punk. Music was changing, alternating under the noses of a band that kick-started revolutions when music really mattered.
Nimrod was a contrasting barrier, free-flowing with centrepiece classics. Deeply melodic, Green Day showed a softer approach to punk. Battling off manufactured bands that tried to overtake and steal the Berkeley Trio's crown, Green Day fought and won with no blood shed. Nimrod elegance was a factor of the bands maturity. They weren't teenage outcasts anymore; they were adults, a band growing old gracefully. Nimrod was that of grace, in sound and in motive. Dookie had no influence in Nimrod's charge for glory. From the outset melody becomes apparent; the cranky, strewn sound is replaced by a more defined, earthy feel. Not to say that nimrod is cowardly or a watered down anti-punk cause, it is punk, just with a prettier face.
The commence sounds pure Green Day, 'Nice Guys Finish Last' bolsters the album intent of Green Day not letting their guard down, nimrod still had a enough beefy tracks to accompany the melodic verve. Billie Joe's vocal work is precise; his voice seems to improve as the album progresses. A prominent factor in 'Scattered' an invigorating input on the record. Armstrong expresses a love-struck innocence in his lyrical array. Green Day can talk about love-loss without tampering with musical values. 'Hitchin a Ride' sounds freakishly formidable, using a harp to open proceedings. One of the bands exhilarating pieces, it carefully builds to a screaming conclusion. Nimrod gains more clarity as melody bears all. 'Good Riddance (Time of Life)' delivers sentimentality and inspirational drive. Armstrong's heartfelt lyrics pull ferociously at the heartstrings, purifying the ears of listeners who feel his vulnerability. A ballad with exceptional acoustic properties, a sound completely bright eyed and wisdom fuelled, could be Green Day's finest?
Nimrod was modest in sales, but brilliantly enchanting. Serving a purpose for the band and punk as a whole, Green Day matured without cutting the throat of their routes. But For all of Green Day's work, the Dookie ghost couldn't be vanished. Those days were long gone as the band were growing up, becoming more safe. The 90's conclusion was fast approaching; the millennium was on the horizon. Masturbation, weed, teenage angst was all pounced upon, addressed by an act trailing towards fresh lookouts.
The year 2000 reared its head. The World was ready for modern times to take place. Music was beginning to morph, grow an over-skin where generic bands could take shelter. Bands like Sum 41, Sugercult, yellowcard, were taking the reins as emo rock entered the race. A generic bunch of acts were emerging as Green Day analysed their situations as a band and as a unit. Was it worth it? For them to try patrol music once again, or was it safe for them to take a back seat. Of course they broke out, of course they jumped upon the bandwagon once again, and music depended on their inclusion. Berkeley's prime assets came forward with 'Warning'. A collection of brutal statements with underlays of political conflict. Green Day disapproved of America's presidential appointment, and Warning would be the start to a feud that would progress beyond.
Warning was a different take on Punk, a marvel for Green Day to exploit their diversity. Written with a point to prove they were worthy enough in the latter stages. It was far from Dookie as Green Day could get, not a bad thing. But it still didn't match the sheer flawlessness of 94s major breakthrough. Yeah it had a minor collection of treats like title track 'Warning' and the ferocious, high pitched crowd pleaser 'Minority' a track with political edges. Also a sense of subtlety in 'Macy Day Parade'. But still no masterpiece. Green Day left a mark on the millennium. Maybe not much of an impact that their faithful expected, but Warning never lacked character, intent, or quality, it just didn't match past efforts. The band however would undertake a new strategy; their next chapter would have a plot that would entice the harshest critic. Green Day released a greatest hits collection in 2001. A bundle of their honourable scores named 'International Superhits' Perceptions grew as the band was pressured under the microscope. Fans and critics alike became one; they fought of Green Day as a band who was ready to give up their musical crown. And how wrong they were.
Lengthy spells became Green Day's forte; they are renowned for backing away from the spotlight. By 2004, America was war torn. A country swamped in a dark mist left from tragedy and turbulence. Presidential affairs were becoming ludicrous, a farce beyond calamity. Music was barricaded by MTV wannabes who cared more for look than musical contribution; it was a damaging time for the Worlds most powerful nation. A band build their own protest, carefully strung together a musical phenomenon, featuring a story, a rebel, and a whole load of impact.
Green Day released 'American Idiot' in September 2004. A masterpiece laced with bright shining gems and 9 minute plus sensations. The act wanted their viewpoint on their country addressed, and Music was the vital kick-start. American Idiot previewed alienation and humdrum suburbia, it analysed America's lack of policy. Also it told the story of St Jimmy, a rejected, dejected rebel wandering the suburban boulevards in disarray. American Idiot was masterful in content and meaning, Green Day really struck a chord. American Idiot is a concept album, a rock opera surveying America for all its flaws. Its plot and story is enchanting and intriguing, its impact is miraculous. Lyrically Billie Joe writes from an inner deep sanctum, his mind absolutely runs riot on American Idiot. The album features songs that are dark, mysterious and heavily sentimental. From the start to the finish, the record is flawless.
American Idiot starts ferociously with self-titled track 'American Idiot' a real fuckoff attitude arises when the song progresses into a flavoursome chorus. The band adds their own scent to the political wave. American's Idiots story becomes more profound with a 9 minute train-ride. 'Jesus of Suburbia' portrays the life of a rebel stuck in rut, living a life of severe dysfunction and self-loath. He walks the streets of suburbia alone, disarmed from every aspect of reality. His broken body barely hangs him together, he shivers in discontent, and he has no home. JOS musical properties are inventive and highly charged, Green Day certainly branch out their 3 chord comfort zones. Green Day is precise to every note, Mike Dirnt's Guitar inclusion sounds pristine, the song becomes an obsession.
Next comes 'Holiday' the most articulate analysis of America's political ruin, Armstrong speaks of his discontent of the presidential stronghold, or lack of it. Musically vibrant and lyrically immaculate 'Holiday' meets expectation. 'Are We the Waiting' mellows the euphoria that 'Holiday' dispossessed. St Jimmy seems to trail the streets in silence his life is burning down before his eyes; he lacks the will to wake up from his own nightmare. Green Day portray wonderfully how alienation can suffocate a persons self-motivation. The main character has his own song dedicated to him. St Jimmy blasts through the mellow sooths of 'Are We the Waiting' and enlightens the record like it was on fire. Boulevard of Broken Dreams is another memorable staple. A classic power ballad, with vocal tones that are beautifully orchestrated. St Jimmy still walks alone, misguided into a plight so profound he can't discharge himself. His signified rage goes unaware; this story becomes appealing to the masses.
American Idiot pushed a band relying on a prized asset forward beyond expectation. Gaining new followers, becoming World beaters; it made them the biggest and most successful punk band off all time. All that from a trio who talked about teenage angst, sexual deprivation, weed and boredom. American Idiot reinstated Green Day's prominence, it made them valuable again. Progressing them to more defined heights, it even outsold the masterful Dookie. From Gilman, to Arena's, to Stadium Rock, they've made it look so damn effortless.

green day: my bands inspiration | Reviewer: daniel | 5/26/11
i got into green day about two years ago, the first song was 21 guns and immedietly, i was hooked. i fell in love with all their albums from 39/smooth to 21st century breakdown. if it wasnt for them, i would have never learned to play guitar and form a band. my three favorite songs are:#1. no one knows, #2. ha ha you're dead. and #3.longview. and although 21st century breakdown isnt their BEST album, its still a pretty damn good one. also unrelated you forgot to mention their albun shenanigans, which was relaesed a year after warning.
I will never quit Green Day | Reviewer: ben | 4/4/11
I love Green Day. They are the band that made me really have a passion for music. I love everything from Dookie to American Idiot, and they put on one of the greatest live shows ever. A Green Day concert is a show you must see before you die.
Now for the bad news:
Green Day's last record, 21st Century Breakdown, is garbage. The first couple of spins I thought it was pretty great, it was more ambitious than Idiot even. But after the novelty wore off, I realized there wasn't much in the way of real songwriting. It's like they spent three years coming up with piano intros and filling in the rest. Ambition is good, guys, but it's wasted without solid songwriting.
Anyway, all criticism aside, I wholeheartedly support Green Day no matter what. I look forward to their next release, which I will likely buy as soon as it comes out, and I can't wait to see them live again.
They are my HEROES! :) | Reviewer: Kristen | 2/13/11
I am 13 years old i have liked Green Day since i was about the age of 6. The first song i learned was boulavard of broken dreams it is really special to me! Green Day has been there since the beginning for me and hopefully through the end too. :) PEACE!
Um, WOW | Reviewer: Lisa | 3/12/10
Green Day is just a big WOW in the music industry. They are so amazing, that it's impossible not to like them. They're a bunch of bratty punks who came from 924 Gilman Street and are, right now, performing in stadiums and all over the freaking world. They are my idols. I can barely choose a favorite song from them, because all of them are so awesome. However, I do have to say that I prefer their old music over their new music. Although that is the truth, their new music certainly still sounds just fine the way it is. They are awesome, all-in-all. They are my favorite band of all time, and I am obsessed with them, as well as one of those fans who doesn't just idolize their music; I idolize them as human beings. They were born punks who went so far to get where they are right now, and that is the biggest inspirational story in music.
awesome | Reviewer: cam | 2/23/10
Green Day are the best punk band around i have six of there albums : American Idiot,21st century breakdown, insomaniac, dookie,nimrod and warning. my fav song is Hitchin' a ride and 21 guns. they are heros in music and im only 11 but love them. i can play east jesus knowhere and hitchin' a ride. ROCK ON GREEN DAY!
They are my idols!!! | Reviewer: Jess | 2/6/10
I look up to Green Day as my gods! They worked so hard and went through so hard times, just to get to where they are today. I agree that their old stuff is much better, but you have to agree that 21st Century Breakdown wasnt a COMPLETE ripoff, I dont regret the money I spent on it.
Their music sometimes helps me get through a really horrible day, and when I go to guitar lessons, I think of them, and it makes me work extra hard, because one day i would like to start my own band. Will I get far with it, who knows? But i am willing to work as hard as Green Day did. Billie, Mike, Tre, I LOVE YOU!!!

its a completely underrated, yet very commercial these days. They've changed my being for the better, for 13 out of the 20 years theyve killed i can honestly say Green Day is one of the best bands ever conjured. I love you Green Day. i lo v ya lot
Dec 16th Rod Laver Arena Melb Australia | Reviewer: kylie | 12/26/09
BEST SHOW EVER!!!! And i have been going to concerts for 20 years (that im prepared to admit too).
Billie Joe had been suffering lets call it food poisoning the day before and had to cancel the show originally slated for the 15th and he STILL came out and gave a massive performance and anyone who has had gastro type illness will know how much thats saps your energy.
Was funny though.. at one point he asked about old Green Day and all these teens screamed and when they started with Coming Clean the so called die hards (renamed try hards) went deathly quiet... NOT A CLUE!!! Same for Going to Pasacquala.
For those who think theyre not punk.. you really need a music lesson..... and you also need to look into the Punk scene a bit more.... and see just what is labelled Punk... you might be surprised.
ANd if you still want to argue the point, let me just say as an exchange student in the early 90's, some of the best nights were spent watching this new band called Sweet Children play at Guillam Street ... especially the first night when they opened for Operation Ivy.... (oh and they do a cracking version of knowledge).
These guys worked damned hard to get where they are now... literally performing at people's houses in backyards all over the USA and Europe, touring dingy dives sometimes in front of 6 people sometimes 100. In Europe they had to borrow equipment to play everynight....and as for accomodation?? that was worked out as they went along.... peoples floors etc.... this is one hard working and deserving bunch of men, who have more than paid their dues.
If you dont like them fine, but please get your arguments sorted and at least have more to throw at them than "they arent punk' or "they suck"
meh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/19/09
