Tudo começou com o vocalista Scott Weiland, que em 1991 tinha uma banda de rock chamada Mighty Joe Young. O fim desse grupo e a saída dos integrantes fizeram com que Scoot montasse o Stone Temple Pilots, em 1992.

On a search of Ticketmaster.com I come across a listing for Stone Temple Pilots tickets. I figured they must be still plugging away after they kicked Scott Weiland out due to his repeated drug use and subsequent trips to jail and/or rehab. Curiousity got the best of me and I clicked and I saw what appeared to be a recent picture of the band with Weiland. A few clicks more and I discover they have reunited for a summer tour with their ultimate goal to land an opening position on a possible Led Zeppelin reunion and tour.First, I find it amazing that STP has any fans at all. In their heyday they had a few songs that I played in my cover band, but I really never knew anybody who could claim to being a fan or seeing them in concert. They were like Michael Jackson.

Como lo habíamos mencionado días anteriores, los Stone Temple Pilots confirmaron su reunion para el 2008 y con una extensa gira por delante. Sin embargo, aún no se daban detalles de las fechas ni de los lugares en donde la banda actuaría. Ayer, en una conferencia de prensa en Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A., se dieron a conocer todos los detalles de la gira, la cual arranca en Columbus, OH, U.S.A., e incluye una actuacion en el programa de Jimmy Kimmel. Después de la conferencia la banda ofreció un corto show de 30 minutos aproximadamente frente a algunos fans y prensa invitada y ejecutaron canciones como Plush, Vasoline e InterstateLove Song. La gira de los STP va así:May 17 - Columbus, OH @ Rock On The Range FestivalMay 18 - Camden, NJ @ Tweeter Center At The WaterfrontMay 20 - Cleveland,

In this Daily Mail article, Robert Frank uses economics to explain the situations you encounter in everyday life. For example -- Why do women endure uncomfortable high heels? High heels are uncomfortable and make walking more difficult. But they also increase height, as well as forcing the back to arch, pushing the bosom forward and the buttocks back, thereby accentuating the female form -- and men, apparently, prefer an exaggerated female figure. Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets? In 1944, the Japanese military launched a campaign of kamikaze attacks, in which pilots attempted to crash explosives-laden planes into American warships. Why did these pilots wear helmets for a suicide mission? Planes often experienced severe turbulence before reaching their targets, so they needed to pr

Desde hace varios meses, incluso desde el año pasado, comenzaron a surgir rumores sobre una posible reunión de los Stone Temple Pilots acompañada de la disolución de Velvet Revolver, y no fue hasta esta semana en la que Scott Weiland ha confirmado la información: la reunión de los Stone Temple Pilots es ahora oficial junto con la separación de Velvet Revolver. La reunión vendrá acompañada de una extensa gira de 65 fechas comenzando en el Rock On The Range Festival, en Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A. No se habla de algun nuevo disco o algun proceso de grabación. Esta será la primera gira de S.T.P. en más de 8 años.

Feuds, drugs, and rock 'n' roll – that's what rock bands are made of. But not any more for Velvet Revolver, after parting ways with troubled singer Scott Weiland. "This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn't 100 percent committed to either," said Slash, one of four founding band members, in a statement Tuesday. "Among other things, his increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on." Weiland's problems include a recent stint in rehab, and last month's charge of driving under the influence of drugs after an arrest in Los Angeles in November.

The success of rock band Velvet Revolver is little surprise considering the fact that 3/5 of the band is iconic band Guns’n’Roses (guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum), guitarist Dave Kushner and sometimes Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland.

"Although Stone Temple Pilots broke up in 2002 under less than friendly circumstances, both singer Scott Weiland (who currently fronts Velvet Revovler) and guitarist Dean DeLeo have said that the band members are all on good terms now. Weiland even told The Pulse of Radio he could envision making another STP album. "We were never a band that felt like we needed to lean too hard onto our muscle," he said. "We always felt like we had enough beauty and enough finesse in our music, you know, while we were together, that could carry us into a long career.

The program is aimed at sophomores, juniors, seniors, and recent graduates.The eight-year program is set up to give the student an experience that eventually leads to a career as a pilot for Jet Blue. The first year at Embry-Riddle is relegated to studies and simply going through the motions of a freshman student.

As a frequent traveller, each time I step onto a plane, I feel like I am handing over my life to someone else. I try not to think about the risks involved in flying at 10 miles above safe ground. Sometimes, though news reports make me doubt if I should trust "the system", I hand my life to. This is one of them:Go! Flight 1002 took off from Honolulu at 9:20 a.m. on Feb. 13. It was scheduled to land in Hilo at 10:05 a.m., but the plane flew beyond Hilo Airport and was out of contact with air traffic controllers for more than 20 minutes, officials said.Investigators are trying to determine whether the pilots fell asleep and continued to fly out to sea, or if there was some sort of technical communication problem.The FAA said that even if the pilots did have a communication problem, normal pro

"The study's findings justify the continuation of tests with drugs of this type in low oxygen environments," - an unnamed air force officer told Bamahaneh, the military's weekly magazine. An army spokeswoman said that there were no plans to use any such drug and a statement said the phenomenon of chronic oxygen starvation experienced by mountaineers and the immediate oxygen starvat

By David LjunggrenOTTAWA - In early October 1942, Flight Lieutenant Donald McLarty was shot down over Libya on his 199th mission of World War Two. Although he was flying for Britain's Royal Air Force, his uniform was emblazoned with an unexpected word: Argentina.Many foreigners fought for the various Allied air forces, but until now historians have largely focused on pilots from Czechoslovakia, Poland, France and Norway -- all of which were occupied by German forces.Few realize that more than 800 young men from neutral Argentina, some of them schoolboys, rushed to sign up as pilots and then made the long, dangerous trip to Europe by boat.When McLarty climbed into his Hurricane fighter-bomber for a low-level attack on a German base in Libya, he needed to complete just two more missions to e

OVERVIEW Ambient Corporation (”Ambient”, the “Company” “we” or “us”) is engaged in the design, development, commercialization, and marketing of Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) equipment, technologies, and services. BPL technology enables power line infrastructure landlords (electric utilities and property owners) to use their existing medium and low voltage distribution lines for the delivery of high-speed Internet Protocol (IP) based services. For several decades utilities have used their distribution networks to carry low-speed data for some monitoring and control functions. The development of effective coupling technologies and the resolution of major regulatory obstacles has enabled the deployment of high-speed BPL networks that enhance these existing applications and make practical a host of new ones.

Two commercial pilots allegedly fell asleep on a flight between Baltimore and Denver, with one pilot waking up to "frantic" calls from air traffic controllers warning them they were approaching the airport at twice the speed allowed.The March 2004 event, which was discussed during a Congressional hearing Wednesday, was reported by the captain on the flight on NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System, which allows crew members to anonymously document incidents.Details of the "red eye," or late night/early morning flight, including the airline, flight number, or number of passengers aboard are not included in the reporting system. It did note the type of airplane, an Airbus A319, which are flown by Frontier Airlines and United Airlines.United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy told the Rocky Mountain News, which first reported the incident, that United did not fly a "red eye" between the two cities at the time and it had no reports of that incident.Frontier spokesman Joe Hodas told the newspaper

By Lawrence CasirayaMANILA, Philippines--The Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) says it is making progress towards its goal of making public high school education completely accessible over the Internet. A project by the commission called "e-eskwela" (electronic school) aims to digitize the entire high school curriculum as an alternative to taking it in the normal classroom setting. The project involves a partnership between the CICT and the Bureau of Alternative Learning Systems (formerly the Bureau of Non-Formal Education), which is under the Department of Education or DepEd. Of the total 80 modules (20 for each year of high school), around 40 have been digitized and made available online, said CICT commissioner Tim Diaz de Rivera.

About two-thirds of all private pilots belong to the AOPA, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. The AOPA is a self proclaimed advocacy group for pilots. One of the things they have pushed for years is life insurance through AOPA, underwritten by Minnesota Life. I know some may get tired of me leaping on this soapbox, but the definition of advocate and what the AOPA and Minnesota Life are doing don’t match. From www.thefreedictionary.com they provide this definition: ad·vo·cate (dv-kt) tr.v. ad·vo·cat·ed, ad·vo·cat·ing, ad·vo·cates To speak, plead, or argue in favor of. See Synonyms at support. n. (-kt, -kt) 1. One that argues for a cause; a supporter or defender: an advocate of civil rights. 2. One that pleads in another’s behalf; an intercessor: This sounds like someone who is going to do the right thing for you. When it comes to life insurance, the right thing is to be represented by someone who is going to offer you the coverage you need at the b

Stone Temple Pilots were able to make alternative rock into stadium rock; naturally, they became the most critically despised band of their era. Accused by many critics of being nothing more than rip-off artists, pilfering from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the band nevertheless became major stars in 1993. And the influences of those bands are apparent in their music, but Stone Temple Pilots do manage to change things around a bit. STP are more concerned with tight song structure and riffs than punk rage. Their closest antecedents are not the Sex Pistols or Hüsker Dü; instead the band resembles arena rock acts from the '70s -- it's popular hard rock that sounds good on the radio and in concert. No matter what the critics might say, Stone Temple Pilots have undeniably catchy riffs and production; there's a reason why over three million people bought their debut album, Core, and why their second album, Purple, shot to number one when it was released.Following the succ

Two planes collided during an air show in Poland, which resulted in the deaths of both pilots involved.  According to reports the accident caused no injuries to others on the ground and recovery efforts started almost immediately.  All events that were planned for today have been canceled.  Here is footage of this horrible tragedy:

The life insurance industry has had a love/hate relationship with private pilots going way back. Most of the companies hate to insure them. A handful love to insure them. For most insurance company’s underwriters there must be this sense that the only way a small airplane can come down is nose first. Somehow they have forgotten that the airplanes have wheels and even if the wheels give way, most of the time they seem to slide to a pretty painless stop. If you are a private pilot and have shopped for life insurance, you know that it can be tough hunting out there. This is one area where there is no doubt that being in the hands of an independent agent with aviation underwriting experience is a must. How do you tell if they have experience? As with most health issues, if you tell an agent that you are a private pilot and they don’t ask a lot more questions, relevant questions, you’re probably on the phone with the wrong person. You can alway ask what percentage of thei

Chief Warrant Officers Mark Burrows (left) and Steven Cianfrini of the 17th Cavalry Regiment's Troop C, 3rd Squadron, were rescued by an AH-64 Apache helicopter after their helicopter, a OH-58D Kiowa, was shot down July 2. Downed Pilots Endure 30 Minutes of Intensity Before Rescue 5 July 07 By Sgt. 1st Class Thomas Mills BAGHDAD - What started as a routine reconnaissance mission for two pilots suddenly became 30 minutes of intense action July 2 as they found themselves shot down, surrounded by enemy fighters, then finally rescued. Chief Warrant Officers Mark Burrows and Steven Cianfrini of the 17th Cavalry Regiment's Troop C, 3rd Squadron, had just finished spotting a suspected roadside IED for an infantry unit south of Baghdad when Chief Cianfrini saw tracer rounds arching up toward their 0H-58 Kiowa. He quickly shouted to Chief Burrows to turn away. "I saw the tracer rounds come up through the rotors and at that point we tried to get out of range, check our instruments, make su

Taiwanese spy plane pilots honored for perilous Cold War missions Listen to ArticleHSINCHU, Taiwan: They gathered quietly on a rainy night at a rare ceremony in their honor, six survivors of a secret cadre of Taiwanese pilots who risked their lives against the communist enemy during the darkest days of the Cold War.Known as "The Black Bats," they say they were working for the American Central Intelligence Agency, a claim backed up by photos of them posing with the CIA station chief. Between 1953 and 1967, they flew more than 800 sorties over the Chinese mainland, dropping agents, testing radar responses and collecting air samples from suspected nuclear test sites.After decades in the shadows, they are now getting public recognition. At a gathering last month in Hsinchu, a high-tech center in northern Taiwan that was once the base of their operations, hundreds of Taiwanese observed a minute of silence for the 148 Black Bats who never returned from their missions and paid an emotional t

Alexander Russo @ This Weeek in Education asks:"...[W]ho needs a reauthorization when you can just change the law as much as you want without anyone really protesting?"...[Yesterday] the EdSec announced more growth model approvals. The latest three include Alaska, Arizona, and (last week) Florida....Additional waivers/pilots to look for in the coming months while reauthorization languishes include: that "just missed" AYP designation that she talked about last week in USA Today, a blanket waiver of some kind on [Highly Qualified Teachers] (statutorily, it's time to declare 40-plus states out of compliance and start doing compliance agreements).This from the U S Education Secretary's press release.To date, seven states have been fully approved to implement their growth models. In May 2006, North Carolina and Tennessee received full approval for the 2005-2006 school year. Last November, Delaware and Arkansas received full approval for the 2006-2007 school year. Additionally, Florida was

Life insurance giant AIG, American General led the way for years in offering the best deals for private pilots looking for life insurance. They took over the market and dominated for several years……and then they bailed. From my perspective it looked like they had a few claims, some of them worth several million, that they feared was going to somehow collapse their $700 billion dollar empire. They pushed the idea that they were there for pilots and then ran from it at the first sign of checks going the wrong direction for them. There are other companies that were there before AIG and are still there. Pilots can still find dependable, affordable life insurance through North American, Genworth Life and Annuity and ING Reliastar.  It’s not really like these companies stepped in and adopted private pilots. It’s more like when AIG was flaunting low rates, pilots and some agents may have forgotten those companies that had been there for them all along. There is noth

Less than a tenth of China’s pilots meet international aviation English standards, the airline regulator said on Tuesday, encouraging them to rise to the challenge of bolstering their linguistic skills. More: continued here

There's a story I love to tell. I believe I came across it in one of the Chicken Soup For the Soul books I believe. It's basically about a young girl in the 50's who told her teacher that she wanted to become a pilot. The teacher basically told her women didn't do those types of jobs so forget about it.This girl tried to forget about it and thought of other careers she could do. Well she finally came across a teacher in high school who changed her whole life. She was given an assignment on what she wanted to do with her life. She put things like waitress, wife etc. The teacher handed back their assignments and asked them to rewrite their paper with the following criteria. If they could be or do anything, money wasn't an object etc...what would they be. Well this girl went crazy and wrote d
