TANK86 has been creating its own particular brand of heavy instrumentalism since 2005. Two guitars, bass and drums are all the tools this band needs to get their heavy point across. A high dosage of riffs, harmonised layers and unconventional song structures effectively dismiss any need for vocals. No time for singing when you are pounded into oblivion...
TANK86 released its first EP "Ariba" in 2005. After the release of their second EP "Behold" in 2008 they joined Dozer on a European tour and played craploads of shows with the likes of Pelican and Monster Magnet.
2011 saw the sound of the band fully mature with the release of TANK86's first full-length album "Rise". Guest appearances of Peter van Elderen (Peter Pan Speedrock) and Tommi Holappa (Dozer/Greenleaf) add to the massive sound of the record. "Rise" was much praised by the international press and more touring ensued.
Between touring and many more shows with bands like Karma to Burn, The Sword and Truckfighters, in 2012 the band played a showcase at the legendary Roadburn Festival and released a split 7" vinyl with their heavy instrumental brothers SardoniS.
Now the year is 2015 and TANK86 is ready to release their next full-length album "Obey" on Lighttown Fidelity / Rising Magma Records. A logical next step after the instrumental onslaught of "Rise", the band continues to evolve their sound adding more atmosphere and depth to their signature heaviness, without ever losing sight of the mighty riff.

33 year old man | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 5 miles
these are the days of our lives...
Hi ! thanks for checking out my profile. I grew up in the Bay Area and I like living in SF. I played football and wrestled in high school. I go to at least one Warriors, 49ers and SF Giants game each year. I have gone to Usher, JZ/Kanye, NKOTB/Lady Gaga, XZibit concerts. I can break dance a little (or at least I used to be able to), and can sing like an angel (I take requests). I like to watch comedies, dramas, action/superhero movies and documentaries. People like my sense of humor and sincerity. You - just be who you are. It's all we can do, and we will all find someone eventually ( let's hope). I'm on this site because I get shy around strangers and avoid awkward conversation most of the time. sometimes I think it's actually easier to approach someone at a bar however, because it's hard to get to know someone behind a computer. I scored a ESTJ on the Meyers Briggs test. I have a small group of close friends which I like to spend time with. We go out to try new restaurants, watch the latest movies, watch our favorite teams, and the latest concerts. I am passionate about life and am close with my family Want to know more? you have to respond to my emails then :) Good luck out there.

Despite the title Ive given this thread there are two reasons I havent yet given up on the 2007 Reds, First its hardly possible the hitting and fielding weve seen in the last 14 games can continue all year. Secondly the starting pitching has been remarkably good so far. So, if the hitting and fielding return to expected norms and the starting pitching doesnt, theres hope.
Regardless of what happens the rest of this year, I havent been as optimistic about the near term future of this club since the days of the BRM.
1. Minor leagues - Ive been a Reds fan since 1939 and Ive never seen a Reds farm system as deep and talented as the current one. Listed below are players in the farm system, in no particular order(Im sure Ive missed a few), who have the potential to be real contributors at the ML level. A dozen of them have all star potential. Sure they wont all realize their potential but if even one third do so well have a great influx of young talent to the Reds w/i 1-3 years. In addition, our extra high draft choices this year could keep the reinforcements coming.
R. Asadoorian
Johnny Cueto
Josh Roenicke
Drew Stubbs
Daryl Thompson
Bobby Livingston
Jared Burton
Juan Francisco
Jay Bruce
Carlos Fisher
Chris Valaika
Joey Votto's
Phil Dumatrait
Rafael Gonzalez
Logan Parker
Brad Salmon
Calvin Medlock
Homer Bailey
Richie Gardner
Milton Loo
Travis Wood
Sean Watson
Chris Dickerson
B.J. Szymanski
Josh Ravin
Danny Dorn
Tyler Pelland
Sam LeCure
James Avery
Camilo Vazquez
2. Young core - although everyone is currently struggling on the ML level, the reds have a young core most of whom I expect to be very good for several years(see below).
Josh Hamilton
Aaron Harang
Bronson Arroyo
Matt Belisle
Todd Coffey
Jon Coutlangus
Edwin Encarnacion
Brandon Phillips
Chris Denorfia
Bill Bray
Adam Dunn(? Age, salary)
David Ross(? Who is the real David Ross)
3. Salary relief - Between Griffey, Milton, our senior citizen bullpen, and Dunn(if we dont resign him) the Reds have more than $20M($30 if we let Dunn go) of salary relief in the next two years which can be used to plug any holes our core and minor leagues can't fill(catcher?)
At least for me, the agony of the Reds current streak of poor play is tempered considerably by what looks like a bright future.

Just moved back.
I just moved back to the Portland area after finishing my Master's degree in Arts Administration in Boston and am happy to be home! Moving home meant starting a lot of things over including taking a hiatus from my career- from the arts to healthcare administration. I'm finding a lot of ways to connect the two and am working on creating a new program for my company. For fun I like going to the movies and trying new restaurants/ bars but I'm a fairly independent person and don't mind activities by myself. I love to explore the coast, especially the nooks and crannies of Ft. Williams. I really enjoy cooking for myself or large groups of people, singing when know one can hear me, black and white photography, being outdoors/ hiking, and finding festivals or arts related things to do. Last year I had my first big travel experience and I'm looking forward to more world exploration. Looking for someone to: go on adventures with, dance around the kitchen while making dinner with, have interesting conversations and be goofy with. The arts are very important to me but I understand that not everyone can love it the way I do- just looking for someone who can appreciate learning more about it. I'd love to find someone who can challenge my outgoing side but also doesn't mind quiet nights at home and can, at the very least,find humor in my love of Star Wars, Harry Potter and cats (dogs too!)

Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

The recipe should have been "1 small onion" also using red onion makes for nicer presentation however if you use a red onion they tend to be very large so I would suggest half the onion...
Very yummy! I would suggest cutting back on the onion a little, but other than that, the salad was wonderful!
This was a great seafood salad. I used tuna instead of crab or the old bay seasoning but it still turned out wonderful and im looking forward to making this again! Using red onion was a good cho...

From Our Editors
While the term "spinning" may bring to mind Ed Sullivan?introduced plate-balancing variety acts of yesteryear, Club Champions' "spinning" classes ($15 per class) refer to stationary-exercise-bike classes. On "spinning" bikes, you and a gaggle of grounded gear grinders will be led by a certified instructor through 45 minutes of cycling. Spinning class gets the heart racing and helps tone both inner- and outer-thigh muscles. Each session can burn up to 450 calories, effectively wiping out that chop suey you had for breakfast. And with a flock of other fitnessers in the class with you, you'll find no shortage of support as you pretend you're pedaling up the snow-smothered face of Mount Everest.

I'm setting up a Django app on Heroku and need to convert from an sqlite3 db backend to postgresql. Unfortunately, I'm using a shared database and so cannot get direct access to the db shell with psql, and also cannot execute a
COPY command with a file.
For instance, this does not work:
from django.db import connection, transaction
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("copy table_name from 'table_dump.dmp' delimiters ',' csv;")
I get this error:
DatabaseError: must be superuser to COPY to or from a file
HINT: Anyone can COPY to stdout or from stdin. psql's \copy command also works for anyone.
So I tried to read the file into the COPY command as a string, like so:
cursor.execute("copy tabe_name from '%s' delimiters ',' csv header;" % f.read())
(For the most part, these are pretty small files 131kb at the max.)
And I get the same error (in addition to a lot of grief for not escaping my ' properly -- how many backslashes do I need?)
So, what's the easiest way to
COPY to a postgresql within the Django shell? I thought that it would be as simple as serving up a string instead of a file reference.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 4/20/12
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers' fifth starter Chris Narveson was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a torn rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder. Narveson was scheduled to start in Milwaukee's second game of its series with Colorado, but instead, Brewers' manager Ron Roenicke said today that reliever Marco Estrada would get the start on Saturday. "(Narveson) has been pretty sore since his last outing," Roenicke said before Friday's opener with the Rockies. "He woke up the next day with a really sore shoulder, so we've been talking about it for a while." Narveson has had an MRI, but Roenicke is still unsure of the extent of the injury to the left-hander. As the fifth starter this season, Narveson was 1-1 with a 7.00 ERA in two starts. His replacement, Estrada, has pitched six innings this year with a 3.00 ERA in relief. He did start seven games for the Brewers last season, finishing 3-2 in those matchups. Additionally, with Kameron Loe going on bereavement leave starting...

Keith Allen Brown, currently incarcerated in the Idaho Correctional Institution for voluntary manslaughter, has spent almost 30 of his 52 years behind bars. Things might have been different if it weren't for alcohol. And that's why Brown and four fellow prisoners have filed a $1 billion lawsuit against beer and wine companies for not sufficiently warning them about booze. Not once in my life, Brown says, "was I ever informed that alcohol was habit forming and addictive." Lauren Hansen
If all you know about Justice Antonin Scalia's blistering dissents last week is his whimsical use of "jiggery-pokery" and "pure applesauce" (ObamaCare) and his accusation that he and his colleagues are a "threat to American democracy" (same-sex marriage), you want to know more, but you don't like reading long legal documents, the band Coheed and Cambria is at your service.
In the song below, posted to Funny or Die, the band takes some of the more poetic parts of Scalia's dissents on gay marriage and the Affordable Care Act and spin them into a ballad for two acoustic guitars, an acoustic bass, a shaker, and two singers. Never has so much disappointed anger sounded so lovely.
If listening to nearly 4 minutes of prog balladry is too much, Daniela Lapidous at McSweeney's has distilled Scale's gay marriage dissent into a haiku:
You're not a poet,
Kennedy. And by the way,
Democracy's dead. [McSweeney's]
She created remarkably evocative haikus of the other three dissents and Justice Anthony Kennedy's majority opinion, too, and you can read them all at McSweeney's. Peter Weber
In totally justifiable lawsuit news, Paris Hilton is reportedly planning on suing the Egyptian television host who set up an elaborate prank that tricked the socialite into thinking the plane she was traveling in was crashing.
Hilton was in Dubai when Ramez Galal, host of Ramez in Control, invited her to go on a sightseeing plane. Hilton says she had no idea that it was all a gag — the plane was under the control of a stunt pilot, who shut off the engines and took the aircraft into a nose-dive. Footage from inside the plane shows an obviously terrified Hilton screaming and crying, surrounded by actors who are playing along with the "joke" that the plane is about to crash.
TMZ reports that Hilton is "furious" over the stunt, and has contacted her lawyers, who said she has a case for emotional distress. She no longer wants to get on airplanes, and said the prank was even worse than it appears on tape, with the plane nearly hitting the water. Watch the video below, and get ready to feel sympathy for Paris Hilton. Catherine Garcia
On Tuesday, three cables that deliver internet service to Sacramento, California, were cut in what was likely a coordinated attack.
The FBI is now investigating the case, with special agent Greg Wuthrich of the Bureau's San Francisco division saying the incident could be the latest in a string of cuts that have happened in the San Francisco Bay area over the past year. The cables were severed in Livermore, 40 miles east of San Francisco, at 4:20 a.m. Tuesday, Reuters reports. While repairs are underway, there is no estimated time for when internet service will be back up.
Wave Broadband spokesman Mark Peterson said only suburban areas of Sacramento have been affected by the outage. Wave is a customer of Level 3 Communications and Zayo Group Holdings Inc., the companies that own the cables. Catherine Garcia
Firefighters in Greeleyville, South Carolina, are battling a blaze at the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church, a black church that was set on fire 20 years ago by members of the KKK.
#Fire crews battling blaze at #MountZionAME #Church in #Greeleyville, #SouthCarolina. http://t.co/p5KWBCH8i4 #scnews pic.twitter.com/W2P3b5D5cH
— The Post and Courier (@postandcourier) July 1, 2015
The Mount Zion AME Church is located about an hour away from Charleston. The cause of the fire is not yet known. Mark Keel, chief of the State Law Enforcement Division, told The Post and Courier that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and other federal agencies have been notified and are on their way to the scene.
This is the seventh black church in the south to catch on fire in recent weeks, with at least three cases known to be arson. Catherine Garcia
The Girl Scouts of Western Washington returned a $100,000 gift after the donor asked that the money "not be used to support transgender girls," the organization said.
The group was "thrilled" when they first received the donation, which would have provided financial support for 500 scouts. Once the donor sent a follow-up note with the request, the money was returned, and a new fundraising campaign was launched on Indiegogo, using the hashtag #ForEVERYgirl. "Girl Scouts empowers every girl regardless of her gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity [and] sexual orientation," the group said in a campaign video. "Every girl deserves access to a safe, friendly environment where she can stand up for what she believes in and be proud of who she is."
The message worked; in less than 24 hours, the Girl Scouts of Western Washington raised enough to replace the $100,000, and then some. Catherine Garcia
Cliven Bundy, the rancher who made headlines last year for not paying the $1 million in fines he owed to the Bureau of Land Management for letting his cattle graze on government-owned land, met privately with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Monday, Bundy says, adding that he educated Paul on federal land oversight and states' rights.
"I don't think he really understood how land rights really work in the western United States," he told Politico. "I was happy to be able to sort of teach him." The Republican presidential candidate was in Mesquite, Nevada, to speak with supporters, and he shared his thoughts on land rights. "I think almost all land-use issues and animal issues, endangered species issues, ought to be handled at the state level," Paul said. "I think that the government shouldn't interfere with state decisions, so if a state decides to have medical marijuana or something like that, it should be respected as a state decision."
Bundy said he spoke with Paul for 45 minutes — Paul's spokesman told Politico he didn't have any scheduled meetings with any of the attendees, and didn't speak to anyone for 45 minutes — and disagreed with Paul over the actions of groups like American Lands Council, which uses litigation and legislation to get land from the federal government to give to states. "My stand is we are already a sovereign state," he said. "The federal government doesn't need to turn this land back to us. It's already state land."
Bundy became a conservative hero after the BLM came to impound his cattle as penalty for not paying the grazing fees, and hundreds of armed militia members came to his ranch to show their support. The tide turned after he made derogatory statements about "the negro," alluding that black people might have been better off under slavery. Once those comments were made public, former supporter Paul released a statement saying Bundy's "remarks on race are offensive and I wholeheartedly disagree with him." Catherine Garcia
The United States defeated Germany 2-0 Tuesday in a Women's World Cup semifinal game, and will now advance to Sunday's final in Vancouver. The team will go up against the winner of Wednesday's other semifinal match between England and Japan. Carli Lloyd scored during a penalty kick in the 69th minute, and Kelley O'Hara made another goal in the 85th minute. Going into the game, Germany was the top-ranked team in the competition.

Medical image watermarking techniques differs from the other watermarking communities around the world need a benchmarks because of the following constraints. standard benchmark for the exchange of information globally. The currently popular benchmarks focus on evaluating imperceptibility and robustness under typical 3.1 Cover Image Set non-medical image degradation processes.

The error signals that are visible to human eye need to be taken as 3.5 Attacks noise for visual quality assessment. The important masking effects of HVS are explained in the following section. The benchmark evaluates the performance of the system under typical processing operations during storage and 1) Visual Masking: When an image component is in the transmission of medical images. Various types of noises frequency and orientation, that image component becomes usually degrade medical images during transmission and less conspicuous to the human eye. The important masking the overall noise can be modeled as Gaussian. The noise effects are Luminance Masking, Contrast masking and due to long-term storage of the image is modeled as Texture masking.

As expected, the number of bits that could be embedded into the horizontal details decreased with the increase in the size of ROI.

Variation in imperceptibility measures 4.1 Visual quality Vs Capacity The Visual quality Vs capacity graph is used to estimate the maximum number of characters (MNEC) that can be embedded into the cover image within the imperceptibility limits. Using LSB method, encoded text information was embedded into cover images of different modalities. The WPSNR values were calculated for various amounts of embedded characters. The results obtained for images of different modalities were averaged. The WPSNR value that ensures imperceptibility of watermark was found to be 40 dB. It was observed that LSB techniques ensure minimum degradation to cover image.
