Volumetric image analysis for a better evaluation of therapy response
Definiens announced the launch of Definiens LymphExpert Version 2.0 at ECR 2010. The Software application assists radiology professionals in the identification, analysis and evaluation of lymph nodes in CT images over time.
Lymph nodes play a critical role in the assessment of cancer progression and the staging of therapy control The earlier the metastatic spread of cancer can be detected, the higher the chances are for successful treatment. Currently, RECIST 1.1 is the most established standard for evaluating patient responses to treatment. Under RECIST, the diameter of a tumor is measured to provide a two-dimensional representation.
However, tumors do not alwys expand or contract uniformly and changes in diameter do not necessarily provide a complete picture of tumor growth.
Definiens LymphExpert automatically segments lymph nodes and analyzes their properties according to RECIST and WHO criteria. Additionally, the software is able to reliably quantify the volume of lymph nodes and their volumetric changes over time, providing a more complete picture of node size and growth. Those information are essential in terms of detecting metastasizing cancer earlier and more readily evaluate the efficacy of treatment protocols.
Data can be imported from a wide variety of imaging acquisition devices, making it applicable to radiologists working in hospitals, cancer center, CRO´s, teleradiology service providers and academic institutions.

I had the pleasure of attending a workshop with Rushton Hurley at the FETC Conference, "Google Docs and Forms in Gory Detail." I enjoyed it and am feeling more confident than ever that moving to cloud computing and Google Apps is the right thing for my school district to do next year.
According to Rushton, "The collaborative nature of Google is why we all should switch from Microsoft to Google." Another teacher said "Using Google Apps has been the best innovation in my career; there is not a more dynamic tool to impact student learning. "
It will be a change for our folks, and change is always difficult. Users will have to make a shift when working with Google Docs…. Example: the home screen is just too huge. However, once you remember to switch to using the Google tool at the top to search for files, it's not a big deal.
I look forward to working with teachers in my district. I learned some things that our teachers are going to love, such as how to make a self-correcting quiz, how to take advantage of the data in Google lists when using spreadsheet, and providing feedback to students that they cannot throw away after looking at their grade.
Some things I like about Google Apps (short list):
- I like the convenience of being able to work on a file on one device and open it up and continue on another without ever having to hit a save button!
- I can work on a project with someone who lives far away in real time.
- There is less email! Revisions are saved without having to send the latest version to other team members.
- One username and password for a whole slew of applications.
- Once you set up the people you want to share files with in a collection, you're done; all you need to do to share with the same group is drop a file in the collection.
Some things I still need to figure out:
- How to work on Google Docs offline if I am in an area where I am unable to connect to the Internet. At the conference I used Evernote when the wireless was down, but I heard there was a way to use Google Docs offline.
- The toolbar options are limited when using a mobile device (tablet). There may be a way around that, too.

West Xtra: Hopewell sprinter sets a school record
December 27, 2012 12:00 AMHopewell's Alexandra Guzma is what coach Steve DeLatte calls a "drop-dead sprinter."
"She's amazing to watch," DeLatte said, referring to her speed.
Despite receiving that "amazing" description, Guzma recalled being a bit nervous before competing in the 50-yard freestyle race at the 2012 WPIAL championships last winter.
"I was worried about [competing against] Emily Pia," Guzma said.
Pia was a senior from West Allegheny at the time. Guzma recalled watching Pia as they raced. Pia was just two lanes over from Guzma.
"I was pretty close to her, so I knew I had to push a lot harder," Guzma said.
Guzma accelerated, avoiding drag caused by breathing. In the end, she tied Pia for second place with a time of 24.92 seconds.
"She surprised a heck of a lot of people," DeLatte said. "Her stroke is effortless. She doesn't look like she's really working that hard."
What's even more surprising to most people is the fact that Guzma is not a year-round swimmer. While many top swim competitors names are known throughout the district because they also swim with their year-round clubs, Guzma's was not.
"She doesn't swim year-round, so when she swims fast, it's a surprise to most people," DeLatte said. "But her teammates and I expect it."
DeLatte said that because Guzma doesn't participate in additional sports at Hopewell, he's been able to stretch her swimming to about seven months a year. It's a sport Guzma is looking to build upon.
"Most of [Guzma's] ability is just God-given talent, but what we try to do is work on the little things," DeLatte said. "Entering the wall on turns, getting out quick, etc."
DeLatte explained that he had been her youth swim coach as well as her high school coach, so he has had the opportunity to watch her progress over a seven-year period.
DeLatte also explained the meaning of his term "drop-dead sprinter."
"At the 50 she's fantastic, at 100 she's pretty darn good," he said. "Above 100, she's [an adequate]swimmer."
Likewise, Guzma has honed her sprint abilities to be a scorer for Hopewell. She also anchors the 200-yard medley relay, and she's one of the four girls on the 400-yard freestyle relay. DeLatte added that in each of Guzma's four years of high school swimming, the school records in those relay events have been broken.
Guzma set a Hopewell record in the 50-yard freestyle event, a mark that had lasted 33 years, set in 1979.
Guzma also has her eye on breaking Hopewell's 100-yard freestyle record, which also was set in 1979. The time Guzma wants to beat is 55.60 seconds. So far, Guzma's best time in that event is 56.2.
One slight disadvantage of being a seasonal swimmer is that it takes a while to peak. But Guzma knows how to make the time curve work for Hopewell.
"We have a conference meet usually the first weekend in February. By then, she's bringing her times down half a second to a second. She knows when to peak," DeLatte said.
A senior, Guzma has begun exploring the possibility of swimming at the collegiate level.
"I love swimming," she said. "My teammates are like my family and I want the same relationships in college."
Guzma isn't sure which schools hold her highest interest yet, but she knows she'd like to choose a Division II school close to home.
"I want to try to swim Division II right now," she said. "I'm a student-athlete, so I'm a student first. I want it to be the same in college."
Before Guzma chooses a swim path for college, she has one more very clear goal.
"Our goal this year is to get her back to the state meet in the 50-yard freestyle," DeLatte said.

- "Sometimes one must fight to protect nature."
- —Sal, Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge
Sal, known as Saroma (サロマ?) in Japan, is the owner of a lunch stand near the Government Complex and operator of WoodMan.EXE. In the anime, she is a gardener and is a secret agent known as Black Rose that works for Commander Beef.
Sal has a very kind personality; because of this, she was able to make friends with Lan and his friends really quickly. Sal is wise and smart and often helps and give advice to Lan and his friends during difficult moments. She also gets frightened easily as when Miyu and Masa pops out of nowhere in her truck, freaking her out, and causing her to nearly crash. In the game, Sal seems to be concerned a lot and often leaves without saying anything, however, like the anime, she is kind and fair, treating Lan with respect before the battle.
Game History
MegaMan Battle Network
Sal appeared in the first game, but plays a very small role. In the game she sells sandwiches to people and challenges them for entertainment.
MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge
Sal appears again in MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge as a contestant losing to the playable character.
MegaMan Battle Network 4
Sal makes an appearance in MegaMan Battle Network 4 Bluemoon, playing a much larger role. In this game she is a contestant in the Eagle tournament battling against Lan. Before the match it was revealed that Sal has joined some fellow nature preservers in order to protect nature, however, this leads to WoodMan.EXE's disappearance and thus Lan must help her search for him. After finding WoodMan.EXE, Lan and Sal battle in the tournament with Sal losing. Afterward, she leaves and thanks Lan.
At the end of the game, she appears in front of the people on Earth as Lan and MegaMan just defeated Duo. She encourages everyone on Earth to believe in Lan and MegaMan to save the world; which leads everyone's voices to reach MegaMan and gives him strength to change the asteroid's course.
MegaMan Battle Network 6
Despite not appearing at all in MegaMan Battle Network 6, she, along with Miyuki and Masa, were mentioned by Ms. Mari, where she sent a letter to Ms. Mari congratulating the students. All three of them being mentioned together was possibly a reference to their roles in the anime.
Anime History
MegaMan NT Warrior
She along with Miyu and Masa appeared in the 1st season of the MegaMan NT Warrior anime, being a frequent character. She was first introduced by Mayl (Maylu in the English anime) as an owner of a florist shop. Sal often appeared in the anime giving young Lan Hikari advice during the 1st part of 1st season. She was revealed to be a net police officer that goes by the name Black Rose. Sal, as Black Rose, helped Lan and his friends when Count Zap and ElecMan.EXE were stealing the game data from Gabcom (Ayano Tech); she uses WoodMan.EXE's, Woody Tower attack, to block the lightning that was regenerating ElecMan's health.
Sal along with the other main net battlers entered the N1 Grand Prix. Her challenger was Higsby and NumberMan.EXE, she and Woodman.EXE defeated them both easily and made it to the 2nd round. In the 2nd round, she was put into a tag team along with Dex and GutsMan.EXE, and their challengers were StoneMan.EXE and BombMan.EXE (BlasterMan.EXE in English anime) who won all their matches by default, which cause Sal and Dex unable to understand their strategy before the battle. She and Dex loses easily to the Solo Navis and appear as one of the crowds watching the battle.
In part 2 of Season 1, she along with the others, dress up as Aki in festivals and contests. Sal also continues working as a Netpolice officer and helps to stop Gospel, fighting against their members with WoodMan, Miyu, and Masa.
Rockman EXE Beast
In Rockman EXE Beast, a beyondard version of Sal appears. The beyondard version of Sal is exactly the same as the original Sal, having the same personality and features. Beyondard Sal is also a secret net police in Beyondard. Her last appearance is along with Masa and Miyu, finally seeing peace in Beyondard.
- Sal is the optional boss character from MegaMan Battle Network (Miyu and Masa are the others) who communicates the most with Lan, this was reflected in the anime where out of the three, Sal has the most screen time and dialogue.
- She was the first secret net police to be suspected by Lan in the anime.
- In the game, Sal has her sprite changed in every game she appeared in. In the first game Sal has long hair, in Battle Chip Challenge she has a short hair, and in Battle Network 4 her sprite was redesign to match the current style.
- According to the Mega Man Battle Network Official Complete Works, Sal was originally intended to be male. However, Sal's character portrait in the game was more feminine, so they changed Sal's gender to a girl.
- Sal appears as a toy of Black Rose in one episode of Axess, there also toys of Miyu and Masa.

Maybe you have some kind of class-fight feelings that don't let
you see very clearly ;-) but English has thousands of Latin and Greek
forms, so building new ones is not any kind of treachery.
Apart from the new technological words such as 'telephone'
'television' etc.
you can find many examples in yor own text above: "logic", "reside",
"promulgate" "study" "language" "bible"... I'm no linguist, but I bet
either latin or greek roots.
In addition, I found in WordNet: billion, trillion, and *quadrillion*.

The question she should ponder is why would anybody think that the solution to incompetence and mismanagement in the MCS can be rectified by incompetence and mismanagement of a unified school district? Yes, everyone knows that it is a foolish endeavor with a certain outcome that only a miracle could fix, but they go forward with it anyway. I am glad that David Watters agrees that, but for a miracle, a unified school district will be a hopeless disaster for the children, the schools and all of Shelby County, especially Memphis. Just more proof that those that are for a unified school district do not have the children's best interest at heart.
My statement that people feared going to school with African American children is derived from the multiple comments and emails that I received from residents. I have asked hundreds of people this question and the answers have varied. It is a reflection of what I have heard and it is not a blanket statement of all fears and concerns. I have also heard from people who are excited about the merger.

Hi friends, i'm going to build a system that goes like this I5-3470 8 GB memory and a GTX 670. I have a 19" screen that max res. is 1440x900. I was wondering what will happen if i use this build (GTX 670) at 1440x900 resolution. Will i have no problem playing skyrim with mods at this resolution on ultra graphics with AA with no problem.
i know it's a overkill but i'll be getting a new screen like 6 months later. i'm asking well i have any problem at that resolution using a gtx 670 ?
Would still highly recommend you get a higher resolution monitor asap. 6 Months to getting a new monitor is kinda a long way still.
OP If your gonna buy a new monitor in 6 months, you might aswell sit on your hands and wait if you can... the new AMD and Nvidia cards should be out by then and give you a lot more choices to pick from aswell as price drops for the older models/generation of cards that are being replaced if the new gen isnt for you.
absolutely probably in the triple digits zone.However since you can afford the 670 ( you lucky man) why not wait for the 8000 and 700 series?
Why not wait for the 9000 and 800 then? OP you have money now, the 670 will serve it's purpose now, and in the future if you go 1080p or 1440p. Technology is always advancing. If you wait you will be waiting forever. If you shop around, some places are offering rebates so the 670 costs the same, or less than a 660ti.
If you can't get a monitor right now that can actually make use of your new hardware, why bother until you can? I think it would be really disappointing to go to all that trouble and expense and then have to wait six months to see the result.
Whether a GTX 670 is overkill or not at 1440x900 or not depends on what framerates and quality settings you're happy with. If you want to virtually guarantee the smoothest vsync-locked solid super smooth 60Hz frame rate and maxed quality settings with the latest games, then getting a very powerful card like this will help to avoid any frame drops and the unpleasant judder that comes from them. There's a motto for computer gaming which says that you can't have too much rendering power - and I agree with it. If money was no object, I'd put two GTX 690s in my system and be done with it. Then, when the GeForce Titan comes out and if it's more powerful, I'd replace the 690s with four of those (and upgrade the rest of the system to match).
Just get the 670 and enjoy great framerates and all the eye candy RIGHT NOW and when you get a new monitor later, determine then if you need more GPU horsepower or not. My motto: "In this hobby, if you always wait for the latest and greatest, you will always have nothing"
That's what I like. Beta drivers every other day to fix something they broke from the last beta driver.

Went there a couple of weeks ago. Wife had spaghetti and I had pizza. Both were very good. Had enough left over for a meal the next day. Service was good.
Went there a couple of weeks ago. Wife had spaghetti and I had pizza. Both were very good. Had enough left over for a meal the next day. Service was good.
Went for a wedding reception so our group was large. Which usually means the service the slow, but no the service was great, had more than one waitress want to get us drinks! The food was on time,hot and tasty, except the green beans which were really crunchy. I happen to like them either way but my hubby and the... More
What a total rip off !! Chrisit's is in my area, was called Orion House years back when it was a good place to eat for family, dates, crowds. Now it's has turned into a sports bar with not so great food !! I always loved their lasange , OMG it was $12.95 comes with nothing no salad, no soup.... More
I liked this place. The Orion House Breadsticks with garlic butter were pretty good as were my beer and burger. My wife, however, said that the salmon wasn't fresh, had a fishy taste and the green beans were under cooked, still crunchy. The kids had sliders and an individual pizza which they said were good. The pizza was pretty cheesy.... More
Last night I attendend Christi's for the first time. Although the food and atmospehere were nice the waitress was AWFUL!!!!! It took her so long to take our drink order that another waitress did it and collected the round. When our waitress finally came, she accused us of not having paid yet. I showed her our receipt at which time... More
more of a bar now than before but thats the FAD, still have GREAT bread and a good pizza and the live music is fun
Omlete station was great, fresh fruit was good, other food was about average.
On March 11, 2012, I hosted a baby shower for my daughter at Christi's. The food was terrific and the waitstaff was attentive to the needs of my guests, even assisting me with cutting and serving the cake after lunch. I also enjoyed Easter brunch there a few weeks later.
Not a family place. More like a bar that cleared some space for food chairs. Terrible service and way over priced food.

'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' 'Dodgeball' Lead Fox March Blu-ray Wave
Tue Dec 12, 2006 at 03:35 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Fox (all tags)
Expanding their ever-growing Blu-ray library, Fox Home Entertainment today announced the release of four new catalog titles on March 13.
Leading the pack will be a BD-50 dual-layer release of the Bragelina action blockbuster 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith.' The disc will boast a 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 track, plus multiple audio commentaries, deleted scenes, a featurette and trailers.
Fox will also debut three additional BD-25 single-layer Blu-ray titles on March 13: 'Ice Age,' 'Dodgeball' and 'Commando,' the latter which has been rescheduled from its originally announced January release berth.
Each features a 1080p/MPEG-2 transfer and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 surround track, and far more limited extras. Only 'Ice Age' will feature any bonus materials, including a commentary and short film. All three titles include a gallery of HD theatrical trailers.
Fox has set a typically high $39.95 list price for each.
You can check out full specs for all four titles in our Blu-ray Release Schedule.

Oh yes, there was a person who said his child went to Briercrest and it was common knowledge that Austin was going to UT. This person said Nichols visit to UT was off the charts.
Good Grief!!!! Some people come on these boards and make fools of themselves.

Beauty Spa Marketing + PR Firm Case Study
Rosenthal Clinics is a St. Louis beauty spa that offers a variety of high end skin treatments, permanent hair removal (electrolysis) and massage therapy services.

Product Reviews by Customers

As the 80 – 20 rule goes, you get 80% of your business from only 20% of your customers/clients. So doesn't it make sense to keep them happy?
It doesn't have to cost you a fortune to look after your customers/clients and keep them coming back, just follow one or more of the following and you are on your way.
- Call them back. That's right, you'd be surprised how many people don't call their customers back. Everyone likes attention and more so when they are requesting it.
- Send cards. This could be a birthday card, Christmas cards or just simply thank you for being my client cards.
- Client specials. It is cheaper to give your regular clients 10-15% off than to find new clients (and it also makes them feel appreciated).
- Referral gifts. If a client refers someone, thank him or her. Send flowers, wine or whatever you think best suites, for if they have referred you once, they will do it again.
- Treat them like new clients. Remember the excitement you get with a new client or customer? It is that passion that people are attracted to so keep it up even for the clients you have had for many years.
These are very simple points and very inexpensive ways to keep your customers/clients happy and coming back time and time again.

Surface Festival Round 2, Maggie Mays, 14/5/11
Review by Tom McConnell
A quick introduction to this competition I feel is needed to get the full effect for the potential it holds to the acts involved. After 4 rounds of regional competition, the final showcase featuring unsigned acts from all over the UK and Barcelona (with new territories being drafted in for next year) will take place as a glamorous showcase at London's Indigo2 with the prizes at stake nothing short of a gift from the Heaven's themselves. Full backline, lighting rigs, top end recording process with a full on digital and physical promotional campaign with a professional marketing company directing, promotional video, merchandise, a tour of the UK (with the bus/driver included), and a slot at Budapest's Sziget Festival; and that's just first place. There is a real hunger for the acts to break through and fight for this mammoth haul. However, what I credit Surface Festival for the most is its innovative voting system. Each round works much on the "battle of the bands" concept, but instead of just being down to audience votes, or a couple of judges- everyone has their say. Text votes, audience votes, fellow band votes and industry professionals all have a say (1 point, 5 points, 20 points and 30 points respectively). This is quite refreshing as it does not leave the decision of which progresses to one factor alone- haven't brought fans? Rely on other bands enjoying your set. The industry professionals hated you? Let your fans push you through. Anyway, with you all now hopefully clued in, let's get down to business.
My own band (PLUG!) What's The Damage?! were fortunate enough to make it through to the Scottish 2nd round, which took place on the 14th May. We were joined with the acts successful from our first round heat, Lets Play God, ForeverVoid and Final Silence as well as The Rare Breed, Core and Momentus. Now you would think, with 7 bands on the bill, this is going to be a long night; however each band is limited to a 20minute set list. Bring your strongest songs; make it count, because you haven't got long. On the other hand, I've found this will stop acts from becoming stale and dragging on into background noise (not to say any of these bands are guilty of that, but we've all seen it happen).
We kicked the night off with ForeverVoid, having seen these guys before I know they deserve a fired up crowd to play to, that will react and they will perhaps not be happy going on first, but it's a job someone has to do and their confidence and tightness will provide a solid and electrifying start to the night. With people still coming through the door, ForeverVoid are providing a schooling performance and setting the bar for the rest of the night. A wireless guitarist seems to always come in useful as he leaves the stage (there is a blue velvet robe instead of a barricade- more on that later) to mingle with the crowd mid-song, really firing everyone up. A wonderfully talented vocalist that gives David Draiman a serious run for his money is charismatic with a low stance and it pays off by closer "Vision" which has the audience interacting with the chorus.
The Rare Breed
Next up we have The Rare Breed. A band I know personally very well. Now, to make it through to this round, every band has had to show some form of pedigree from a very competitive first round. The Rare Breed, I have watched developed from their very early gigs and while the confidence has always been there, I feel there is a little bit more development yet needed. Sean McKay on drums undoubtedly puts in a good shift, but I notice a couple of moments where timing is perhaps a little out. Jason Harris, the vocalist, shows he has the confidence of a front man, but there are times when an awkward stance with legs together shows perhaps he can use the stage a bit better. There are however moments where he does show this required skill, throwing himself around in amongst the bassist and new guitarist. This is another thing I wish to touch on, the new guitarist has without a doubt helped The Rare Breed's sound and I note a couple of solos that show real potential- but instead of being attached to an amp at the back of the stage, his talent needs to be shown off. This may still be because the latest addition is still fitting into the band and finding his feet amongst an established line-up- in which case, prove to the audience why you're there.
Lets Play God
After The Rare Breed, we have Lets Play God. Most of the collective audience know what to expect here and the boys do not let us down. As a 4 piece, they show amazing understanding of each other and if ForeverVoid raised the bar, Lets Play God have stolen the bar and put it on a shelf out of reach. DTA, SMHP and Spineless all have the crowd enthralled and completely at vocalist Rob's mercy. This is well deserved too, their lively and confident performance comes with a real feeling that Lets Play God are here to make sure the audience above all have a good time. To the point, that robe acting as a barrier pointed out earlier- long gone. Audience and band interact with each other, vocalist Rob and bassist Chris making frequent trips into the midst of the front row. Surface Fest Round 2 is now officially on.
Final Silence
Final Silence has one hell of an act to follow, but if there was ever a band on this bill to match their energy and love for a rampant crowd, it will be this act. Unfortunately due to my own commitments of playing I only manage to fully intake the last 2 songs, but as I take my place by the side of the stage mid way through their 3rd last song, I notice the severe lack of a vocalist on stage, but I can hear him. Suddenly, the phantom vocalist strolls past me back into his rightful position. Turns out he's just made full use of his wireless microphone and went for a quick lap around the venue. The crowd's going nuts, one more step forward and the stage is invaded. They blast into crowd favourite "Jon Kandi" and the place has erupted. A new song closes their set and it's a good while before the presenter can introduce the next band due to a "one more song" chant that does not help your humble author calm any nerves before going on stage.
What's The Damage?!
As to not blow my own trumpet or shoot myself down, I shall leave the valuations of What's The Damage?! to anyone who wishes to post their opinion and move straight onto Core.
Now I know these guys were playing Glasgow the night before too, I don't know if they went out partying afterwards, but if they did, you most definitely won't be able to tell. The crowd has started to dwindle, but Core is still going to grab you by the balls. As a 3 piece, I am in awe as to how full they sound. It has that stripped back, gritty feel to it- but damn does it work for them! I love Brian Murphy's vocals; you can nearly see the venom being spat onto the microphone through truly pissed off lyrics and it is this factor that makes Core an act to be seen as it will not let up throughout the full set. "Hollow Inside" I think is the song of the night for me; it is that chorus I still have etched in my mind.
Momentus take to the stage in the dreaded last slot of the evening. This is the only band I've not seen before, but despite their apparent younger age to the majority of the rest of the bands, they are not fazed. I am reminded of Bullet For My Valentine from their sound and they work their way through their set with an undying defiance of the ever smaller crowd. Those that have stayed are being served well here as the band has clearly put time into their song-writing for well structured songs with variation. I am most definitely going to be looking out for future gigs with a longer set time to really form an informed opinion of this act as this allocated 20minutes has either just given me a preview of what can be accomplished with a longer set, if not what they will go onto achieve with a few more years development.
As mentioned previously, all acts have proven themselves by getting through the 1st round, and overall, the 2nd round has proved harder to judge as I know in my mind, I wasn't sure if What's The Damage?! would make it through. I think I would have made the call and put money on ForeverVoid, Lets Play God and Final Silence, but as for the other 2 available slots, they were anyone's. As it turns out, we and Momentus grabbed them. It's this moment in such a night that while I'm happy to have progressed, bands that haven't that fully deserved to taint such news. We knew entering such a competition, this is part and parcel- yet it does not make it any sweeter. Surface Festival Round 2 put on a phenomenal bill, an all metal bill- and I'll put money on it was one of the most intense nights of all 2nd round heats. Bring on round 3.
Ivory Blacks 16/02/2011
Last night, I had the chance to go along and review 4 of Glasgow's unsigned metal bands in Ivory Blacks. It was to say the least interesting, and definitely worth the trip.
Twisted Conspiracy
I found out a little later on that this band were playing without a singer, their singer couldn't make it so I understand why they were the way they were now a lot more than I did at the time.
The band seemed uncomfortable, the set wasn't very tight at-all, they didn't seem to have any kind of awareness of one another, it was incredibly messy sounding, it also didn't help that the stand-in singer wasn't confident in his abilities and was singing so quietly that I missed almost all of the lyrics. The bassist seemed to have an arrogant air about him and the crowd seemed generally quite uninterested.
However, their harmonies are brilliant, they clearly have the ability and I think the absence of a vocalist affected their confidence and therefore their performance, I would go see them again because they hold a lot of promise, it'd just be nice to see a full band, and to see the overly arrogant bassist knocked down a peg or two.
Despite their poor performance and lack of interest from the crowd, they finished their set on a very high note, they did a cover of System of a Down's Chop Suey which seemed to excite the audience a little, and they did do a fairly good cover as well.
I hope to see them again as a full band and hope that last night was just an off night for them, they really do have potential.
For fans of
- Bullet For My Valentine
- Trivium
- A Day to Remember
Lost Persona
This band were fantastic, they were relaxed, confident, opened the set with a killer riff accompanied by Tim Mcllrath-esque vocals, the crowd instantly came to life and Lost Persona gave us some much needed hope in the night ahead.
They had brilliant stage presence; there were no inflated ego's in sight, they were having fun, they are a brilliant balls out metal band and they know it, they quite obviously have a serious passion for music, they're experimental, they're watertight and they should be in a much bigger venue than Ivory Blacks, much more suited to Barrowlands.
They went out with an absolute bang, gave their all, Lost Persona don't have one weak member and deserve every bit of recognition they get, they've worked hard and are definitely one to watch for the future.
For fans of
- Rise Against
- Machine Head
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Rare Breed
"There's a reason this breed is rare" quipped a member of the audience and sadly, I have to completely agree.
As the extensive amount of merchandise and equally extensive amount of young fans started pouring into the venue, I held high hopes for this band, they seemed to have a lot of support from quite a few people!
However, The Rare Breed did not live up to expectations at-all. Their sound was completely off, it was just noise, there was no indication that they knew what they were doing really, the vocalist Jason Harris kept going out of his range, Harris's unwarranted cockiness did the band absolutely no favours, "try hard" was mumbled once or twice.
Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, The Rare Breed actually brought somebody on stage to advertise their already in plain view merchandise. Considering each band got a 20 minute time slot, I thought this was unprofessional, desperate and time wasting, completely unimpressed.
Despite their pretentious air, The Rare Breed are nothing to write home about and have a long way to go before they can live up to their own hype.
For fans of
- Cancer Bats
- Machine Head
- Whitechapel
A Ship Going Under
This was A Ship Going Under's first gig in around 6 months so while they were obviously a little rough around the edges, they were generally quite brilliant, they are very modern, very now, they were obviously what the crowd had been waiting for all night and they were absolutely worth the wait.
The only people sitting down are myself and two others, they are definitely crowd friendly and know exactly what they're doing on stage. They have fantastic energy, gutsy vocals and great variations between songs.
A Ship Going Under seem to make a statement that they know they're good, they like what they do and they're here to stay. I have to say, they do have the right balances when it comes to skill, attitude and confidence, they are doing everything right on the road to success.
Looking forward to seeing these guys again, definitely worth keeping your eyes peeled for.
For fans of
- Lamb of God
- Winds of Plague
- Man Must Die

Weekly Wiki: We Didn't Start the Fire
Today as my mom and I were driving around, Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire came on over Shuffle. I commented, "I wonder what this song's Wikipedia page looks like?"
Therefore, this week's WeeklyWiki = We Didn't Start the Fire!
I think this is a really interesting song, both because of all the events it contains but also because Billy Joel was able to rhyme everything. Haha, I think that's awesome. Says Wiki" "Unlike most of Joel's songs, the lyrics were written before the melody, owing to the somewhat unusual style of the song."
And: "I had turned forty. It was 1989 and I said "Okay, what's happened in my life?" I wrote down the year 1949. Okay, Harry Truman was president. Popular singer of the day, Doris Day. China went Communist. Another popular singer, Johnnie Ray. Big Broadway show, South Pacific. Journalist, Walter Winchell. Athlete, Joe DiMaggio. Then I went on to 1950 [...]. It's one of the worst melodies I've ever written. I kind of like the lyric though."
Cool, huh?
It'd be interesting to see such a song written today.
Weekly Wiki: Wilhelm Scream
HA, I remember the article that I was going to feature here a couple weeks ago!
If you've ever watched a movie or TV, you've probably been privy to the Wilhelm scream, a stock sound effect first used in 1951 and has since been audible in over 225 movies and TV shows (often as an in-joke).
The scream was first heard in the 1950s movie Distant Drums and gained popularity after George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino began to slide it into almost every movie they made (yes, including Star Wars). The fact that the scream is publically available has caused it to propagate throughout online media created by amateur film/media makers.
Weekly Wiki: Generations
It's Weekly Wiki time! See guys? It's been like three weeks and I haven't missed one yet. I give myself a banana sticker.
This week I'm featuring Wikipedia's information about the different generations!
Here is the list:
Lost Generation (born 1883 – 1900)
The Lost Generation refers to those mainly brought up in the era of WWI; specifically, the young men and women who were pulled out of their normal lives to go and fight. It is said that the label originated with Gertrude Stein who remarked that young men of that generation were too old to train to be skilled workman and therefore were "lost."
Greatest Generation (born 1914 – 1924)
What a title, huh? The term was coined by Tom Brokaw to describe those individuals who muscled through the Great Depression, fought in WWII, and aided in the material contribution to the war effort. Says Wiki: "He [Brokaw] argued that these men and women fought not for fame and recognition, but because it was the right thing to do. When they came back they rebuilt America into a superpower."
Silent Generation (born 1925 – 1945)
Describing those individuals born during the Great Depression and WWII, this generation was substantially smaller than either the Greatest or the Baby Boom generations. This allowed people born in this timeframe more job opportunities (less competition) and thus resulted in great scientific and technological innovations used in the late 20th century.
Baby Boom Generation (born 1946 – 1964)
Everyone knows the Boomers! Post WWII, the US population jumped up as soldiers returned home and decided that it was the time to have a family. The article also features what is perhaps the greatest analogy ever: The baby boom has been described variously as…"the pig in the python." By the sheer force of its numbers, the boomers were a demographic bulge which remodeled society as it passed through it.
Generation X (born early 1960s – early 1980s)
Perhaps the most recognizable generation in terms of name, Generation Xers were named such in order to signify their relative lack of identity and uncertainty regarding the future when compared to their parents and grandparents. According to Wiki: "The US Census Bureau cites Generation X as highly educated, statistically holding the highest education levels when looking at current age groups."
Generation Y (born early 1970s – 1990 or so)
This generation (which includes me and probably most of my readers/stalkers/random passers-by) is unique in the sense that they didn't grow up with technology surrounding them like Gen Z did, but also were young enough once technology began to permeate everyday life that they were able to acclimate to using it rather quickly/swiftly. Though my mom did this, too, and she's a Boomer.
Generation Z (born early 1990s – present)
These dudes are typically children of Gen X-ers and are obviously a very wired generation—internet, cellphones, obnoxious social media Facebook and the like. According to Wiki: "a marked difference between Generation Y and Generation Z is that members of the former remember life before the takeoff of mass technology, while the latter have been born completely within it."
More info on Wiki. Go check it out!
Weekly Wiki: Linguistic Examples
Way back at the dawn of time I linked to Wiki's Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo article, but I figured I'd go all out and link to a bunch of Wiki's "English is so screwy" pages.
List of Linguistic Example Sentences, sentences that "illustrate various linguistic phenomena."
I had a really, really good article the other day that I was going to use for this post, but now I can't remember what it was.
Weekly Wiki: Heavy Water
So this Weekly Wiki might not be a new concept to a lot of you guys 'cause you all seem smart and all seem to know random facts and such, but it's still a cool topic so it's happening. I randomly stumbled upon the article for heavy water.
11% denser than "regular" water, heavy water is physically and chemically similar to water except for the fact that it is enriched in the hydrogen isotope deuterium. The deuterium isotope is twice as heavy as the lightest stable isotope, increasing the strength of the water's hydrogen-oxygen bond. This increased bond is enough to cause enough of a change in how organisms can process water…to the point where higher organisms whose regular water content is replaced with enough heavy water (more than 50%), cell death and ultimately organism death results.
In one of the chemistry books I was e-texting (totally a verb) the other day actually had a picture of a glass of water with regular H2O ice floating on top and "heavy water" ice at the bottom of the glass, too heavy to float. It was pretty sweet.
Edit: found it!
(courtesy PopSci)
Weekly Wiki: Cosmic Latte
Caffeine from the moon? Starbucks from the stars?
Nope! It's the color of the universe, according to astronomers from Johns Hopkins University.
Described by Wiki as "a slightly beigeish white," cosmic latte is the average color of the universe across the spectral range of light sampled from a large section of the universe. The average color was actually originally purported to be a light teal, but that was due to an error with the software the scientists were using. Hahaha.
The article also has a list of a bunch of different names that were proposed for the color…I personally like Big Bang Beige and Skyvory.
Weekly Wiki: Waffle House Index
Y'all ever heard of Waffle House? It's a chain of restaurants located in many of the US's southernmost states. There's one about half a mile from our house here, actually. The waffle-centric restaurants sell (apart from waffles) soup, chili, coffee, and pretty much every breakfast item you can think of.
What's surprising about Waffle House, though, is the fact that it is one of the top four corporations in the US for disaster response.* Says almighty Wiki: "Waffle House has an extensive disaster management plan with on-site and portable generators and pre-positioned food…This helps mitigate the effects of a storm on the power grid and the supply chains."
In fact, this provider of syrup-pocket goodness is so disaster-ready that an unofficial gauge of disaster severity is based on the status of any Waffle House restaurants located within the disaster area. This gauge is known as the Waffle House Index and is used by FEMA. They employ a rough three-level guide based on Waffle House's restaurant status to assess storm/disaster impact:
- Green: Waffle House is open and serving its full menu. Nothing too serious. Carry on. Buy some pancakes.
- Yellow: Waffle House is open but is serving a limited menu. Moderate damage; there may be no power and/or food supply may be low.
- Red: Waffle House is closed! Severe damage. No waffles. Apocalypse now.
Also, a quote from FEMA admin Craig Fugate: "If you get [to the disaster site] and the Waffle House is closed? That's really bad. That's where you go to work."
Guess there were no Waffle Houses in New Orleans for them to gauge the severity of Hurricane Katrina's impact…?
*The other four companies are WalMart, The Home Depot, and Lowe's.
The Logic of Lightening
As you may or may not have noticed, I've been a major slacker with respect to my This Week's Science Blog posts. Sad day, huh?
This is mostly due to either:
a) just completely forgetting to do one, or
b) having difficulty finding a *recent* article that's interesting enough to blog about.
So I decided I'm going to change things up a bit. Rather than have a weekly post dedicated to science, I'm broadening my horizons and starting a Weekly Wiki blog in which I find an interesting (or unusual or hilarious or all of the above) Wikipedia article and elaborate on it here for you. And see how many pages it takes me to get from that article to the "Pornography" article.
Cool? Cool.
Let's go!
This week's Weekly Wiki: Vexillology. I'll give you three guesses what a vexillologist studies.
Any guesses?
Bueller? Bueller?
Vexillology is the study of flags! HOW COOL?! According to Wiki, it is encompasses "the creation and development of a body of knowledge about flags of all types, their forms and functions, and of scientific theories and principles based on that knowledge."
I've always held a bit of an interest in flags and flag designs. Back in high school in our mandatory speech class I did my informative speech on the major flag color families. Color families, as you may have guessed, are groups of flags that are similar both in colors and (generally) geographic location. Color amilies include the Pan-African colors, the Pan-Arab colors, and the flags including the Nordic Cross.
Does flag design sound interesting to you? Check out this link. It's like if Emily Post were vexillologist.

By Jon Greenberg
It only took one question for Billy Harner to correct me. Really, just two words: Hipster Night.
When it was announced that the Brooklyn Cyclones were having Williamsburg Night at their stadium next month, people on Twitter and on sports blogs immediately thought of hipsters. It quickly became Williamsburg Hipster Night, because what else is Williamsburg known for?
So when I asked who came up with "hipster night," Harner, the Cyclones director of communications, checked me.
"We're trying to avoid that lingo," he said in a phone conversation.
Williamsburg is an up-and-coming neighborhood in Brooklyn _ think "Girls" on HBO _ and with gentrification comes the youngish, cool, sometimes tattooed and mostly skinny-jeaned city folk who get lumped into a catch-all phrase, hipster.
And the Cyclones don't want people to think a fixed gear bike rally was breaking out at their game on July 5.
"Basically, what it is and what it's been made into two are separate things," Harner said. "Every year we do nights in ballpark for different neighborhoods around Brooklyn and we use it as group marketing tool. We have different sponsors that haven't come out in the past and put tables out."
I'd like to say this is an example of Twitter blowing something out of proportion and changing the meaning to fit easy jokes. But the Cyclones didn't exactly shy away from the H-word connotations. On their online flyer, they offer special vouchers for "bearded fans" and highlight a "skinny jeans post-game run the bases." And if any fans have a Cyclones tattoo, they get a personalized jersey.
Of course, a real hipster night would be so underground, you'd never have heard of it until months later. Also, it probably wouldn't be sponsored by Verizon.
The Cyclones, who play in MCU (formerly KeySpan) Park on Coney Island, are also having nights for nearby neighborhoods Bensonhurst (350th birthday party) and blue collar Bay Ridge, but the Williamsburg night got more attention from the blog and social media crowd. New York blog Gothamist.
The Cyclones want to create a relationship with Williamsburg fans because it's a burgeoning frontier.
"Geographically it's not easy to get to Coney Island from Williamsburg," Harner said, because there is no direct train or bus route.
And the Cyclones want to attract young fans. Not just kids, like most minor league teams, but young professionals, college students, of which there are plenty in Williamsburg.
The team worked out a deal with a Williamsburg bar called Full Circle, which has skee-ball machines. The bar is busing people to the game and providing skee-ball machines for a tournament. Full Circle's "Skee-Ball Stadium" hosts a skee-ball league and a world championship.
Seriously, skee-ball at a bar? That's so hipster. Right?
"Everyone gets pumped for skee-ball," Harner said. "Everyone can do it."
The Cyclones aren't just goofing around though. While Coney Island has a population around 60,000, more than 2.5 million people live in the borough, making it one of America's biggest cities. Not the usual place to find a Single-A team. The Cyclones were in St. Catharines, Ontario from 1986 through 1999, and moved to Coney Island in 2001 after spending a year in Queens.
The Cyclones drew 245,087 last season, down from highs of 289,323 in 2006-07.
"We're more affordable than the Major League teams, and do have a lot of college kids, young professionals, and obviously families," Harner said. "Our Friday Night fireworks nights are really a mixed bag. Saturday and Sunday we do stuff specifically for kids. But during the week, we get more people straight from work. And now kids home from college."
And of course, fixed gear bike riding, microbrew drinking friends of the band.
Hey, I live in the Bucktown-Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. I'd love to have a minor league team and a Hipster Night.

When the Newark Bears hold their Jewish Heritage Night they don't hold back. That's right, Glatt Kosher food (gross) and deputy mayor Adam Zipkin!
To continue my New York-themed newsletter, did anyone catch the fan who ran onto the field after Johan Santana's no-hitter? The Gary Carter jersey and the jean shorts weren't enough, he also missed his kid's first birthday party.
San Diego columnist Tim Sullivan got canned and he thinks it's because the paper's new owner thinks he's an obstructionist to a new stadium for the Chargers. Not a good sign for the paper.
A Chicago magazine editor has a new book coming out on the founding of Groupon. I'm waiting for the discount.
