The Lego figures have taken a break from their lightsabre wielding ways to chill down and rock out. Lego Rock Band is a kid's friendly game based on the hot right now genre of rhythm game, and it has enough sass of it's own to stand out from the sea of note strumming clones.
The opening scene for Lego Rock Band is a band on top of a speeding van, banging on their instruments as they drive down a road in the middle of a desert. They enter a city, where, to their horror, dinosaurs chase them. In hopes of escaping the gigantic teeth of the beasts, they crash their van into millions of tiny Lego pieces and reassemble it to become another type of vehicle. Our Lego heroes do this for a couple of times, while completely rocking out on top of their vehicle. This is but one of the many challenges you'll encounter on your road to stardom.
As with all of the Rock Band games, Lego Rock Band can be played with up to 3 friends, and each of you will have a role in the band: bassist, guitarist, singer, and drummer. Notes will be coming down from the top of your screen as you strum along them. The play list is a mix of classic rock, modern pop and recent tracks that just don't fit in any more. The mix works well since there are just enough good songs to play to that will balance out the not so nice songs.
A few features in Lego Rock Band help make it accessible to a wider audience, the most important of which is the option to turn off the kick pedal for the drummer. The inexperienced will have a difficulty coordinating all their movements into a single, cohesive beat, so the ability to focus on keeping time with your limbs lessens the burden a bit. Players also can choose to play a shorter version of the song, perfect for those who want a quickie game.
Unfortunately, you can't expand your music library, so you are stuck with a measly 45 songs to play through. Nevertheless, the charming graphics and goofy story makes this a good game for Rock Band fans.

This is a copy of an article that appeared in an American Jewish newspaper, mentioning, among other things:
|A photocopy of the title page of the 1938
calendar of the Maytchet Gemilut Chessed fund
This past Sunday, the Maytchet natives who live in New York and the surrounding area held a memorial gathering in memory of the Jews who were killed in sanctification of the Divine name. Maytchet is a small town near Baranovici where about 800 Jews lived.
[Page 202]
The town is known for its geniuses, scholars, rabbis, and teachers.
The Maytchet native Rabbi Gershon Romanoff spoke with much enthusiasm about the town and called upon everyone present to observe the Yahrzeit (annual memorial). They lit six candles and recited Kaddish. The Maytchet natives in America do good work in memory of the town and those who were murdered there. Each year they purchase over $3,000 of Israel bonds through their society. They help the United Appeal, HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society), and ORT, and they do not forget their fellow townsfolk in Israel.
The Maytcheters also created a fund in Israel in memory of the Gemilut Chassadim Fund that existed in Maytchet. Recently, when one of the survivors of Maytchet became a bride in Israel, the society sent her $300 as a wedding present.
The longtime president of the Maytchet group in New York is Isaac Kurtin. The Financial Secretary was B. Lokoff and is now B. Goldberg. Together with Al Rubio, Al Kudivitz, M. Spencer and Yechezkel Roberts, a full series of projects were planned in memory in memory of the Jewish town of Maytchet and its Jewish citizens who once were and are no more…
(Additional notes to article in the Maytchet Yizkor Book added by Milton Schwartz and Martin Small: After Isaac Kurtin passed away, Charles Samuels became the President and B. Goldberg was the secretary. After B. Goldberg died, Martin Small became the secretary. In 2000 there were too few people attending the meetings and the group dissolved. All the money from their treasury was sent to the Maytchet Gemilus Chesed fund in Israel.
The Maytcheter Fraternal Aid Society has two cemetery plots in the New York City area. One is at the Mt. Lebanon Cemetery in the Queens, New York and the other is at Beth Moses Cemetery in Huntington, Long Island, New York.)

Esteemed Friends and Fellow Natives!
First of all, I would like to greet you for your initiative to perpetuate the town with a book certain aspects of our common native town. You are to be congratulated for your massive undertaking. I know this will not be easy for you; however, unfortunately I cannot help you very much financially, as I am simply a worker with limited means, and I cannot collect from others for I do not come in contact with our fellow natives. The only thing I can do is to write a few words to accompany the picture that I am hereby sending you. I believe that it is a historical picture that will illuminate a story from our town in the latter years of its existence. You will certainly find some familiar faces, which will remind you of a period
[Page 203]
of the history of Maytchet to which I have strong feeling - that is: the years 1928 until1930 when I left for Argentina. Here is the story.
|Workers Evening Courses, April 15, 1930 Maytchet
In 1928 there were, among others, Maytchet youths studying in various schools in Vilna. Three friends -- Joseph Sussman, Molia Kravchik and I -- became acquainted there with left wing student movement, which we joined. We decided that we would form a workers' organization in Maytchet when we came home for Passover. We did not know what type of organization this would be, for there were issues with legalization. When we found out that the left leaning Poale Zion founded a society to offer evening courses for workers, so that they could continue on with their activities which were forbidden in feudal Poland, we grabbed on to the idea with both hands even though we did not share the same political ideas as theirs. We got in contact with them in Warsaw, obtained a copy of their mission statement, and obtained a permit to found a branch in Maytchet.
We worked with all of our youthful enthusiasm for two years. Our objective was to raise the cultural level of the
[Page 204]
young workers of Maytchet. The numbers were not large, since Maytchet did not have any industry. There were only young boys and girls, tailors, shoemakers, and furriers. Even a wagon welder joined. We conducted the work with sincerity. We arranged evening classes in which Molia Kravchick taught reading and writing, Yosef Sussman taught arithmetic, and I taught history and political economy. These were our winter programs. In the summer we would go out every Saturday for a walk in the forest, or conduct a discussion about current events.
In addition, we set up a library and reading room. Every evening after work we would get together to read newspapers, take out a book, or just socialize with acquaintances. We also organized a drama group, and performed several plays. One play that I remember was the Jewish King Lear by Jacob Gordon. Those who remember the plight of the young workers in Maytchet in those times will understand what a wonderful undertaking it was. True in Maytchet there was cultural activity earlier on, but only amongst the wealthier children. The children of the workers could not participate in that group. On the other hand, the most impoverished people, including those who never went to cheder or school, came to our group. With this cultural center we literally raised them to the level of human beings. They were thankful to us and gave their last pennies to keep up the club.
Where they all today? Some probably survived and live in America, Argentina and Israel. The rest have perished with all the Maytcheters. Amongst them were my mother and brother Lazer. Let these words serve as a memorial for the survivors of their near and dear ones.

LOS ANGELES, July 8 (UPI) -- Multi-hyphenate James Franco has published a book of poetry, Directing Herbert White, which references several of his famous colleagues, including River Phoenix and Lindsay Lohan.
But it's his bizarre poem about Heath Ledger that's getting the most attention.
The Telegraph, which gave Directing Herbert White only one star, said the poem, titled "Ledger," is one of several mentioning the late actor.
There had been a time
When we were up for the same roles,
10 Things I Hate about You
(Based on The Taming of the Shrew),
And The Patriot –
Funny, you were Australian and so was Mel –
You were the knight in A Knight's Tale...
Franco, who published a collection of short stories, Palo Alto, in 2010, often writes about celebrity culture. He recently wrote a story about his strange encounter with Lindsay Lohan at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.

WebMage by Kelly McCullough
Synopsis from GoodReads:
Ravirn is not your average computer geek. A child of the Fates—literally—he's a hacker extraordinaire who can zero in on the fatal flaw in any program. Now that twenty-first-century magic has gone digital that makes him a very talented sorcerer. But a world of problems is about to be downloaded on Ravirn—who's just trying to pass his college midterms. Great Aunt Atropos, one of the three Fates, decides that humans having free will is really overrated and plans to rid herself of the annoyance—by coding a spell into the Fate Core, the server that rules destiny. As a hacker, Ravirn is a big believer in free will, and when he not only refuses to debug her spell but actively opposes her, all hell breaks loose.
Even with the help of his familiar Melchior, a sexy sorceress (who's also a mean programmer), and the webgoblin underground, it's going to be a close call…

Manet and the ACW – 4: Captain John A. Winslow and the U.S.S. Kearsarge
Continuing my series on "Manet and the American Civil War," (see posts 1 here, 2 here), in post 3 here, I introduced Captain Semmes of the C.S.S. Alabama, the target of U.S.S. Kearsarge in the waters off of Cherbourg France in 1864. This post provides background on the Kearsarge and her captain, John A. Winslow.
According to authors Juliet Wilson-Bareau and David C. Degener in their book Manet and the American Civil War, the U.S.S. Kearsarge was ordered built by U.S. Navy Secretary Gideon Welles (click here for bio) in 1861 as a part of the Civil War emergency shipbuilding program intended to augment the number of vessels available for blockade duty. [1]
As of March 4, 1961, the U.S. Navy possessed ninety vessels, twenty-one of which were being overhauled of those remaining only twenty-four were in commission. U.S. Navy Secretary Gideon Welles needed many more than that to blockade a coastline 3,500 miles long. Welles therefore launched an ambitious program of acquisition and construction. U.S.S. Kearsarge was one of the steam sloops that he ordered to be built. It was roughly 198 feet long, 34 feet across, and displaced 1,550 tons, third-rate in the navy's classification system. Construction began on June 17, 1861. [2]
The U.S.S. Kearsarge "was a Mohican class steam sloop of war, and was built at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Kittery, Maine. She was commissioned in January 1862 and almost immediately deployed to European waters, where she spent nearly three years searching for Confederate raiders." [3]
Her captain was John Ancrum Winslow (1811 – 1873), appointed in April of 1863 and given the task of patrolling European waters for Confederate raiders. He had begun his career as a midshipman in 1827 and saw action in the Mexican War and along the Mississippi during the Civil War.
In the next post, the sea battle between the U.S.S. Kearsarge and the C.S.S. Alabama.

This combination product contains 2 medications: triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. Both these medications belong to the class of medications called diuretics ("water pills"). They are used in combination to treat edema (fluid retention) that occurs with congestive heart failure and disorders of the liver and kidney. It is also used to treat mild to moderate high blood pressure.
This medication works by making the body lose excess water and salt. Triamterene, called a potassium-sparing diuretic, helps the body to retain potassium, while hydrochlorothiazide causes potassium to be lost from the body. Therefore, potassium supplements are usually not required with this medication.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here.

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Allergy: Some people who are allergic to sulfonamide antibiotics also experience allergic reactions to triamterene – hydrochlorothiazide because of the hydrochlorothiazide component. Before you take this medication, inform your doctor about any previous adverse reactions you have had to medications, especially sulfonamide (sulfa) antibiotics.
Contact your doctor at once if you experience signs of an allergic reaction such as skin rash, itching, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face and throat.
Diabetes: People with diabetes may find that their blood sugar level is less controlled when taking triamterene – hydrochlorothiazide. If you have diabetes, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Glaucoma: Hydrochlorothiazide may cause the symptoms of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) to suddenly occur. If you have glaucoma, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Report any changes in vision to your doctor as soon as possible while you are taking this medication.
Gout: This medication may cause a flare-up of gout symptoms. If you have gout or a history of gouty arthritis, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Kidney stones: Triamterene has been found in kidney stones. If you have kidney stones or a history of kidney stones, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver function: If you have decreased liver function or liver disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed
Potassium levels: Increased blood levels of potassium, though uncommon, are potentially the most severe side effect with this medication. This is more likely to occur if you are 60 years and older.
Warning signs or symptoms of high potassium include numbness, muscular weakness, fatigue, paralysis of the extremities, and slow heart rate. If this condition occurs, stop taking the medication.
Potassium supplements: Potassium supplementation, either in the form of medication or as a potassium-rich diet, should not be used at the same time as triamterene – hydrochlorothiazide. Triamterene helps recycle potassium from the urine, back into the body. When it is combined with potassium supplements, high levels of potassium in the blood may result.
Low levels of potassium may also occur for some of the people taking this medication because of the potassium-lowering effect of hydrochlorothiazide.
Pregnancy: Hydrochlorothiazide crosses the placenta and may affect an unborn baby. Triamterene – hydrochlorothiazide should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: Hydrochlorothiazide passes into breast milk, and triamterene may pass into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking triamterene – hydrochlorothiazide, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children.
There may be an interaction between triamterene – hydrochlorothiazide and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Dell is adding more power to its high-end line of mobile workstations with the debut of the Precision M6300, a 17" notebook geared at engineers, developers, video editors and others who need to tote around some serious silicon.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary in workstation marketplace, Dell is aiming for the system as not so much a complement to a PC, but a complete desktop replacement.
The new model makes use of Intel's latest 64-bit Core Due Extreme Edition X7900 processor. The chips clock in at 2.8GHz, has up to 4MB L2 Cache, and 800MHz Front Side Bus. Dell says it's first to market with the processor and will hold it as an exclusive for a while.
Dell Precision M6300
The chip is partnered with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M graphic card. Dell is offering native resolution options of 1,440 x 900 and 1,920 x 1,200.
Storage options include a 120GB or 200GB hard drive. Dell is also offering a SanDisk 32GB solid-state disk for those expecting to toss it around a bit.
Not that the machine has a glass jaw without it. The M6300 is housed in a magnesium alloy chassis, which aids in the rigidity and durability of the display, but also lowers the system's weight to 8.5 pounds compared to the 9 pounds of the older M90. It's not exactly light, but Dell expects to see customers take it with them every where they go to work.
The battery will last up to four hours, and all of the system's components and configurations are Energy Star 4.0 compliant.
Optical drives include an 8x DVD, 24x CD-RW, 8x DVD+/-RW. If that isn't enough, customers can opt for a Blu-ray drive at 2x write speed. The machine ships with a Trusted Platform Module security chip ready to work with the integrated smart-card reader — which comes standard — and an optional fingerprint scanner. They also include 802.11a/g/n/ Wi-Fi. Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and Dell Wireless 5510 HSDPA cards are optional.
The M6300 ships with various configurations of Windows; XP, Vista Business and Vista Ultimate in 32-bit and 64-bit incarnations. RedHat Linux 5.1 will be available on the system in October.
The Precision M6300 is available now for a base configuration price of about $2,000. ®

When reviewing yield maps with farmers, there is one variable that consistently impacts yield in a big way: hybrid selection. There are many factors to balance when selecting hybrids each year. Don't just base your decisions on how a hybrid performed in a test plot the next county over, but rather, have your own data, preferably from multiple years, to help root your decisions.
I realize this is tricky, especially as seed companies increase the rate they develop new hybrids and rotate technologies. Work with your seed dealer to identify the hybrid characteristics that will yield the greatest success, and take advantage of the numerous tools and programs offered through your seed company.
It's an exciting time in farming because not only are we talking about the right hybrid for the field, but the right hybrid for the zone and being able to change hybrids on the go. In 2013, I worked with some of my farmer-clients to help make the variable-hybrid planting process mechanically possible. Even though we can do it, I'm not sure we have access to all of the knowledge we need to truly maximize yields.
Focus on ear type. I've been heading up the Farm Journal Test Plots for 27 crop years, and have been planting and overseeing plots in general for even longer. Every year, we try to eliminate all of the variables so we can drill down and truly learn what practices add up to more yield.
We have studied how hybrids respond to population, nitrogen timing, pests and more. One characteristic has captured my attention right now—ear type.
Most seed companies label hybrids as semi-flex, which is true because all hybrids will flex. But the degree of which they flex can cause radical swings in yield.
Based on my observations in recent years, the riskiest hybrid seems to be a full flex. Yes, it will flex out to increase yields, but it will also flex the opposite direction when experiencing stress, and this includes stress from population, nitrogen and water.
Flex ear hybrids can't take stress caused by overplanting or under-fertilizing. Determinant ear hybrids need to be pushed to maximize yield and handle more stress. Semi-flex hybrids split the middle.
Leaf structure matters. There are three keys factors to yield: sunlight interception, water and nutrient uptake. An upright leaf structure harvests more sunlight and will respond in yield if sunlight is the limiting factor. Floppy leaf hybrids will maximize leaf area index at much lower populations than upright hybrids. Semi-upright hybrids split the middle.
When water consumption is a concern, lower the population to lower water usage. Flex ear hybrids can compensate for lower ear count. Floppy leaf structure will maximize leaf area index at lower populations. Narrow row spacing reaches maximum leaf area index more quickly to harvest more water.
When lack of sunlight interception is a concern, use upright leaf structure to let sunlight deep into the canopy. Use a determinant ear hybrid to allow you to push populations to achieve maximum leaf area index and a higher ear count. Narrow rows will capture more sunlight.
When fields have high amounts of variability going from surplus water to droughty soils, use semi-flex ear types and variable-rate planting to mitigate the risks. Use semi-upright leaf structure to maximize sunlight and drought protection. Also, narrow the rows to help with both.
For water management, narrow rows and variable-rate populations are a great combination in variable soils. Plant high populations in heavy ground to use extra water. Plant lower populations in light soils to conserve water. Use a semi-upright leaf with a semi-flex ear.
We follow this basic protocol to evaluate hybrid flex:
1. Plant each hybrid to two ranges, specifically an ultra low population and a recommended population provided by the seed company.
2. Harvest the ears of each hybrid at the two populations and compare. This will allow you to see which hybrids flex up and down the most. That will help frame your future decisions on how to manage that hybrid.

Juror's Statement
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Hamidah Glasgow, Executive Director, and her entire team at The Center for Fine Art Photography for the opportunity to jury this exhibition. I have long been aware of the Center and I hold great respect for its commitment to displaying distinctive and significant contemporary photography. There are too few exhibition spaces for artists and the Center provides a welcome professional and challenging platform for photographers to share their work with broad audiences. It was a true honor to join the long list of very distinguished jurors for the Center.
While the subjects or themes for this exhibition are rather large, many of the submissions shared powerful aesthetic and content connections. There were multiple poignant images of veterans. Moreover, several extraordinary references to World War II and its historical and cultural resonance in our society were present in multiple submissions. Profound representations of immigrant experiences and the resulting hybrid cultural representation occurred in multiple submissions as did references to the history of art. Although the title of "Memories, Stories, and Histories" easily conjures thoughts of personal histories and identities, the plethora of submissions that exuded raw painful and deeply personal emotions still took me by surprise. As I worked my way through my final selections I was struck by the strength of the submissions and the powerful and intimate exploration of self, family, and cultural and political identities. After I narrowed my choices to 100 images, the process became almost excruciating as the honest and courageous displays of memory, story, and history yielded emotive responses from this viewer.
As I juried the show, I looked for photographs that fit in a larger conversation of contemporary art but also exude their own distinctive qualities. The final choices demonstrated technical skill, compositional strength, and compelling content. The juror's choice for this exhibition incorporates text and image, a leitmotif in the submissions and a visual strategy employed by many artists. The perspective of the ceiling evokes a relatable experience. Even if the does not look like your bedroom or mine, the experience of looking up where the wall and the ceiling meet can be a mundane act. For the artist, the text reveals that it is a part of a contemplative process of coping with a relationship. The text written in what presumably is the artist's hand adds content, but also visual intrigue to the photograph. The personal nature of the photograph seemed fitting given the many intimate narratives submitted for this exhibition.

Finding the right balance between performance, capacity, and budget in your storage environment with IBM Spectrum Control Storage Insights
(Photo courtesy of http://www.greenbookblog.org)
What makes high performance storage high performing?
One of the most important ways to optimize performance is to tier your data and storage systems for the right combination of speed, capacity and economy. One of the most advanced storage solutions — hybrid storage — is able to migrate data between tiers as needed.
While cost remains the largest motivating factor for good storage management, business concerns are just as important. You cannot afford to max out storage capacity only to watch your applications fail because they are unable to run. The result may be downtime, lost revenues or lost data. To maximize storage efficiency and optimize storage usage, you want the right data on the right storage tier. You want to see the current distribution of data and the recommended distribution of data based on the tiered thresholds that you set.
This is where IBM's new SaaS offering, IBM Spectrum Control™ Storage Insights, can be a valuable tool in your storage management operations toolkit.
After all, data is not created equal. Your business organization might have data that is very highly transactional and a few millisecond hiccup can result in lost business or a even a terrible user experience. For example, think high velocity trading in a online brokerage house. On the other hand, some of your data is rarely accessed, but over time can accumulate to a huge amount. For example, think email archives. This is where the tiered storage solution in IBM Spectrum Control Storage Insights enables you to see past and current trends in capacity and space usage, and based on past and current storage usage can offer recommendations for your storage needs.
In Storage Insights, click Home > Dashboard to see the Tier Planning chart.
To get more information on tier planning, click See Details.
When you go to Insights > Tier Planning, you can see:
The charts that show the current and recommended distribution of the volumes across the tiers that you created The list of the volumes that are identified as candidates for re-tiering
The Tier Planning page shows you more information about how your data is currently distributed and the recommended distribution of data across the storage tiers. In the table, the volumes that contain data that is not on the right tier is displayed. To maximize storage efficiency and optimize storage usage, you can decide which volumes you want to down-tier.
In the Allocated Space by Tier chart, you can hover the mouse pointer over the column for the tier to see the current and recommended allocation of space for each tier.
You want the data in your data center to be placed on the tiers that best match the performance requirements in your business organization. You place your storage into tiers by assigning tier levels to pools and you set performance thresholds to generate recommendations for your storage. Each time that data is collected, the tiering of your storage is analyzed.
"IBM Spectrum Control Storage Insights from IBM not only delivers a performance dashboard to monitor overall health, but also enables you to drill into and address storage issues affecting service delivery." - - Johan van Arendonk, Systems Engineer, E-Storage B.V.
So what's next?
Give it a try!
Explore the live demo that contains the actual product with sample data; it's the quickest way to try out the insightful solutions. You will need an IBM ID to log in. If you do not have an IBM ID, Storage Insights provides a link for you to create one.

BloodThorn & Nightrage
The 24th of November 2006
NightLife Rock, Helsinki, Finland
The coverage of obscure underground death metal gigs continues in Metal-Rules.com. Previous reviews have covered gigs of both Grave and Dismember when these bands played in obscure places in front of small, but enthusiastic audiences on their small tour thru Finland.
Vader had toured in Finland a couple of years ago gaining a solid and strong reputation as being a tight and merciless live act on stage. The band had guaranteed to deliver a lesson in the purest death metal mayhem for several extreme metal maniacs on their last tour. Therefore Vader's return to the soil of Finland was definitely welcomed.
The Polish death metal squads did a quick blitzkrieg oriented tour thru Finland together with a couple of warm up bands : the Norwegian BloodThorn and the Swedish Nightrage. Before landing at the capital of Finland, Helsinki the whole three some package had teamed up with BioMechanical and Exodus for one and only special show in the north, Oulu. Seeing that package in Helsinki would have been an overwhelming experience for each extreme metal worshipper.
The gig with Vader and two other bands had been carried out in a real small, but atmospheric metal club nearby the centrum of Helsinki. There weren't any safety barriers between the stage and the audience. The stage was an tiny and especially narrow when the whole backline was placed there. A couple of mandatory security guys were standing next to the stage, trying to keep some kind of control and order.
Even though the club was not even close to full or packed, the Norwegian death metallers got on the stage kicking the night off by giving a brutal death metal lesson. It was a shame that the small crowd for obvious polite reasons rather stayed a little bit on the background by keeping a solid distance from the tiny stage. The singer kept spinning his hair with intensive rage and kept growling his lungs out of his body. Other Bloodthorn members mostly remained in the background in the darkest corners of the stage. Unfortunately BloodThorn wasn't impressive. The sounds weren't in the right and tight balance. Secondly the lazy and small crowd definitely caused a lack of interest for the band to rage on the stage. Basically the opening bands are always forced to suffer from the lame and small audience as the people usually enter venues on time before the main act gets on the stage.
NightRage hit the stage next. The combo had undergone some line-up changes as the former At The Gates frontman Tomas Lindgren had pulled out and was replaced by a new face named Jimmie Strimelli who was heavily tattooed all over his body. Even though the man's background remained more or less a mystery he definitely sacrificed himself on the stage by being a quite relentless man with the pic.
The line-up of Nightrage hasn't been that stable during the band's existence, but that hasn't had a big impact on the band's raging stage performance which could be best described as intensive. The band's mainman and primusmotor Mario Illiopoulus remained mostly calm handling the guitar duties, whereas the other guys were a little bit on the background. NightRage got a nice warm respose from the audience. Obviously the band is more known in Finland compared to the Norwegian BloodThorn.
Before the Polish death metallers conquered the stage, the club was already getting really packed. When the first song roared out of the monitors the whole front area of the stage was entirely in fullblown chaos and mayhem. Moving sideways, forward or backwards became more than impossible, for example taking any reasonable pics was kind of hopeless. People pushed each other when trying to reach closer to the stage and have a better glance at Vader in action. Of course a nice sweaty pit of several slammers was burning up the floor, causing more utter distortion. The people kept banging their heads and hair spinning all around when Vader's frontman Piotr aka Peter declared this is war now.
The pressure in the front became extreme. The atmosphere got extremely brutal as the gig was interrupted a couple of times. The loudspeakers fell off from the stage due to the raging and banging maniacs. Because the pressure was tremendous, the people were asked several times to take a metre step backwards. After that monitors were managed to be settled back to the stage and the pressure got a little bit lighter. The Polish death metallers watched the whole thing wondering about the situation. When getting back to the stage Peter praised the Finnish bestial crowd "You maniacs, even Satan would be proud of you".
Vader was nothing, but merciless and brutal from the beginning to the end, showing no mercy or any kind of slowdown. Instead they sped up the brutality by giving us plenty of ass kicking songs like "Lead Us", "Blood Of Kings", "Helleluyah!!! (god Is Dead)", "Wings" etc…The current drummer Daray has proved to be a real machine behind the drum kit as the man fired his kit with the tight drumming. Both Mauser and Novy kept banging so hard that they must have suffered from ultimate pains in their necks the next morning. The four piece death metal commanders continued the lethal brutal blitzkrieg thru 1½ hour and concluded the set with Slayer's "Raining Blood". It is admirable how these Polish death metallers are able to keep the quality of their deadly approach up on every gig as doing hundreds of gigs every bloody year. However although the small metal bar was totally packed by hundreds of extreme metallers that definitely brought about more close and intensive feelings creating a one of a kind atmosphere for both the band and audience. Hopefully this kind of gig will be seen more.

Common Law will not be reporting back for duty.
USA has canceled the buddy cop comedy after one season, TVLine reports.
Starring Warren Kole (24) and Michael Ealy (The Good Wife), Common Law centered on two detectives who go to group therapy to work on the issues in their partnership. Lost alum Sonya Walger played their therapist.
Common Law averaged 2.11 million viewers in its Friday timeslot and was a rare misfire for the network, which now has eight original series on the air.
The news comes days after it was reported that Kole had booked a major recurring role on Fox's midseason thriller The Following.

Summer TV 2012: Must-Watch New Shows
Anger Management (FX)
Premieres: Thursday, June 28 at 10/9c
He's baaack! Charlie Sheen returns to TV as ex baseball player Charlie (can he ever play someone not named Charlie?) who overcomes his own anger issues to become an anger management therapist himself. (Do his methods involve tiger blood?) The series is based on the Jack Nicholson-Adam Sandler flick of the same name and also stars Selma Blair (as his therapist and possible love interest), Shawnee Smith (as his ex-wife) and fellow Chuck Lorre antagonist Brett Butler (as a bartender). Sheen's ex-wife Denise Richards — never one to turn down a chance to appear on one of his shows (see: Spin City, Two and a Half Men) — will guest-star as a business partner of Smith's character. And if the test audience is any indication, Sheen may be winning once again.
Around the World in 80 Plates (Bravo)
Premieres: Wednesday, May 9 at 10/9c
If you've ever wondered what would happen if The Amazing Race and Top Chef had a baby, this would be the answer. Hosted by Curtis Stone and Cat Cora, the culinary competition series features 12 chefs traveling across 10 countries in 44 days to whip up local cuisines. Seeing as The Amazing Race and Top Chef are the only shows to ever win the reality-competition series Emmy Award, perhaps we ought to keep a close eye on this one.
Baby Daddy (ABC Family)
Premieres: Wednesday, June 20 at 8:30/7:30c
Think Raising Hope meets Three Men and a Baby. Twentysomething Ben (Jean-Luc Bilodeu) becomes a surprise dad to a baby girl when she's left on his doorstep by a former gal pal. He decides to raise the baby with his motley crew of helpers: mom Bonnie (Melissa Peterman), his brother Danny (Derek Theler), his best buddy Tucker (Tahj Mowry) and his pal, Riley (Chelsea Kane), who has a secret crush on him. And no, the baby news does not diminish her feelings.
Beverly Hills Nannies (ABC Family)
Premieres: Wednesday, July 11 at 9/8c
Yep, it's another reality series in the most famous zip code in the world. This one is, as the title suggests, about nannies who work for well-off families in town. Unsurprisingly, the show comes from the producers of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and The Real Housewives of Orange County. Can you say "crossover"?
Breaking Pointe (CW)
Premieres: Thursday, May 31 at 8/7c
Sadly, this is not a Grosse Pointe sequel. This reality series, from the producers of Big Brother and Dancing with the Stars, goes behind the scenes of the uber-competitive Ballet West company in Salt Lake City. If it's anything like Black Swan, we're there!
Bunheads (ABC Family)
Premieres: Monday, June 11 at 9/8c
Two-time Tony winner Sutton Foster makes her TV debut as a disgruntled Las Vegas showgirl who impulsively marries a man and moves to his small hometown, where she becomes a ballet teacher at her mother-in-law's dance school. Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is the mastermind behind this, so expect lots of rapid-fire wisecracks. So you think you can dance, Breaking Pointe? We can speak fast!
The Catalina (CW)
Premieres: Tuesday, May 29 at 8/7c
Snooki & Co. may be back on the Jersey Shore, but that doesn't mean reality TV is done with South Beach. This docu-series follows the young staff at The Catalina hotel in Miami who work by day and party as hard as you'd expect them to by night. As long as they don't have their own "GTL" slogan, we'll be good.
The Choice (Fox)
Premieres: Thursday, June 7 at 8/7c
The Dating Game meets The Voice — spinning chairs and all! (no word on Purrfect the Cat yet, though) — in Fox's new celebrity dating series. Four single celebs will sit in rotating chairs in front of a live studio audience, with their backs to a bunch of singles. The contestants can describe their life, their interests and their turn-ons — but the celebrities can only rely on their voice and their answers before spinning around. The star bachelors and bachelorettes include Joe Jonas, Tyson Beckford, Dean Cain, Jersey Shore's Pauly D and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Rob Kardashian and chef Rocco DiSpirito, Carmen Electra and Playboy Playmate of the Year Hope Dworaczyk. We just hope someone will recite Meredith Grey's "choose me" speech.
Common Law (USA)
Premieres: Friday, May 11 at 10/9c
USA already has a football player seeing a therapist, so why not cops too? Odd couple detective partners Travis (Michael Ealy) and Wes (Warren Kole) loathe each other and are ordered into couples counseling by their captain (Jack McGee) to work out their differences. Lost's Sonya Walger plays their therapist. But all of this begs the question: Wouldn't it be easier to assign them new partners?
Dallas (TNT)
Premieres: Wednesday, June 13 at 9/8c
Ready to head back to Southfork? This is no reboot, but rather a continuation of the original CBS soap — so much so that original players Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy will reprise their roles. But Josh Henderson and Jesse Metcalfe will primarily be the ones getting knee deep in oil drama as dueling cousins John Ross Ewing III and Christopher Ewing, respectively. Jordana Brewster and Brenda Strong round out the cast. Fingers crossed for no dream season.
Dogs in the City (CBS)
Premieres: Wednesday, May 30 at 8/7c
Watch out, Cesar Milan! Dog-training guru Justin Silver plays mediator for New York City dog owners who are having various problems with their pooches. But don't automatically blame the dogs! Sometimes it's the two-legged creatures who are at fault.
Duets (ABC)
Premieres: Thursday, May 24 at 8/7c
You can never have too many singing competition shows, right? Mentors John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, Robin Thicke and Kelly Clarkson (wonder what Idol thinks) travel the country to search for a singer to duet with them. They will each choose two singers to be his or her partner, and will perform in front of a live audience each week. The winner will get a record contract at Hollywood Records.
Longmire (A&E)
Premieres: Sunday, June 3 at 10/9c
Geek babes Katee Sackhoff and Cassidy Freeman on the same show?! Yep! But this is anything but a nerd's wet dream. Based on Craig Johnson's mystery novels, the series stars Robert Taylor as the newly widowed Walt Longmire, who, at the behest of his daughter Cady (Freeman), decides to run for re-election as sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyo., against Branch (Bailey Chase), a young deputy. Sackhoff plays Vic, a new deputy, and Lou Diamond Phillips plays Longmire's confidant Henry Standing Bear.
Major Crimes (TNT)
Premieres: Monday, Aug. 13 at 10/9c
The Closer will (finally) wrap its seventh and final season this summer, but it's never truly going away. Mary McDonnell will star in this spin-off focused on Captain Sharon Raydor, who takes over as the head of the Major Crimes division. A bevy of Closer stars will join her too: G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Michael Paul, Raymond Cruz and Phillip P. Keene. See? The Closer is here to stay.
Men at Work (TBS)
Premieres: Thursday, May 24 at 10/9c
The men are Danny Masterson, James Lesure, Adam Busch and Kyle Cassidy. The work is at a magazine. The latter three's characters help their pal/co-worker Milo (Masterson) re-enter the dating scene after he got dumped by his girlfriend. Breckin Meyer is the creator and executive producer.
The Newsroom (HBO)
Premieres: Sunday, June 24 at 10/9c
Aaron Sorkin returns to TV with this behind-the-scenes look (what other kind would he do?!) at fictional cable news network ACN. Jeff Daniels plays anchor Will McAvoy, who after a Howard Beale-like meltdown, sets out to put on News Night with his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), his newsroom staff (Alison Pill, John Gallagher, Jr., Olivia Munn, Dev Patel, Thomas Sadoski) and their boss (Sam Waterston). Jane Fonda, in her first major TV role, will recur as Leona Lansing, CEO of ACN's parent company. Surely, she must've learned a thing or two from Ted Turner.
Perception (TNT)
Premieres: Monday, July 9 at 10/9c
Stop us if you've heard this before: A quirky genius with a keen understanding of the mind and human behavior consults with the federal government to solve cases. No, it's not Patrick Jane, but Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack), whose team includes FBI agent and former student Kate Moretti (Rachael Leigh Cook), his teaching assistant Max (Arjay Smith) and Natalie (Kelly Rowan), his best friend. The difference between Jane and Pierce? Pierce is a neuroscientist. And he's insane. (Yeah, The Crazy Neuroscientist doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as The Mentalist.)
Political Animals (USA)
Premieres: Sunday, July 15 at 10/9c
The six-part miniseries stars Sigourney Weaver as Elaine Barrish, a former First Lady and current Secretary of State, who struggles to keep her family together as she deals with the State Department's crises. She strikes an unlikely friendship with a journalist (Carla Gugino) who has spent her career tearing Elaine down. (Isn't that always the case?) The project comes from Brothers & Sisters Greg Berlanti and also stars Ellen Burstyn, James Wolk, Adrian Pasdar, Sebastian Stan and Brittany Ishibashi.
Saving Hope (NBC)
Premieres: Thursday, June 7 at 10/9c

Can you say "supernatural love triangle"?

That's understandable, we know there are many questions to answer.
Sometimes it helps to talk with someone experienced at working with people getting started in voice-over. We're always glad to share our knowledge with you!
If you'd prefer to speak with us, call 888-321-EDGE (3343) 10am - 6pm ET.
And we'll call you back with an answer.
We are VoiceSTA certified. We have 1000+ clients, 21 years experience,
and 0 complaints ever registered in the Better Business Bureau.
Currently I oversee all areas of our business. I interact with everyone in the office daily to ensure that every customer is receiving the best possible experience. I am directly involved with marketing, production, casting, sales, career building, and internal operations. I am always available to customers and make certain that each is treated as though they are the most important one that Edge Studio has regardless of how much money they spend.
Feel welcome to call us. We're all for speaking!
Originally a music studio, we lost half our customers when we went drug free. Then we lost the other half when we went smoke free. Okay, we picked up a few free-spirited hippie bands along the way, but that didn't cut it.
Then we became very big in the Gospel sector - recording many charting Gospel choirs (odd with a Jewish name like David Goldberg leading the studio).
However with more and more requests for voice over, the last album was produced in 2000 and Edge Studio has exclusively recorded voice over studio since. We still get to play with music, though: we've produced the theme song for 54 Disney/Pixar children's programs, we've completed the sound design for 7 episodes of Marvel Comic's X-MEN (fun project!), regularly add supporting music to films, videos, telephony systems, eLearning programs, and so on.
We maintain an exciting position in the world of voice over: We've been there from early on, have played a large part in shaping the industry, and remain the "go to" studio for the industry.

So much for the bus. I decided to ride the whole way. My decision was based on a lot of reasons. First, thanks to Fritz, I took a pledge to go car-free one day per week through New American Dream's C3 program. Taking it quite literally, I feel like I must set aside one day to do a full round trip by bike. Next, the bus has its benefits, but remains a boring option compared to the adventures you're about to read below. Finally, I just miss riding my bike in the evening. Sometimes there's no substitute for hammering out the miles.
Geared with 24 ounces of solid ice and 20 ounces of lemon-lime Gatorade, I took to the streets of downtown KC, MO. The sun above mercilessly pressed its intense rays into me from above. The dark asphalt radiated heat from below like hot stones in a campfire, boiling the little strips of tar used to patch cracks and crevices. The humid air blasted out of the south with a 104 degree heat index but it might as well have been 110 or higher. This is what I observed immediately after pulling out of the parking garage. This was going to be an interesting trip. Even as a teenage boy that loved to ride, this kind of weather was often more than enough to keep me indoors, or at least off the bike and lounging in the pool.
The first thing I did was to make absolutely certain that I stayed hydrated. I drank, and drank, and drank some more, but the first 4 miles or so of my trip resulted in absolutely no sweating that I could tell. This is usually a sign that one is dehydrated. I pulled off as I passed under I-35. I hopped off my bike and took a big swig of Gatorade as I dismounted. No sooner did I stop rolling and the sweat factory became evident. My theory is that my sweat was actually evaporating for a change. I hopped on the bike again and pressed onward. Sweat glands remained active. Hooray! I peered downward as I left the comfort of the shade. The glistening droplets of condensation from my water bottle were nowhere to be to be seen. The icy brick that once had complete dominance over the water bottle had become a small, helpless sliver, bobbing to and fro in what was left of the bottle's contents. It was doing little to cool the water, but it would meet its fate soon.
Several miles later, I approached another overpass -- the last of which I encounter on my way home -- and I started to feel kind of crappy. I was drinking as much as I could without feeling sick and bloated, but I know when I've had enough of the heat. I pulled off again, this time setting the bike down. Half crouched, half sitting, I rested on the steeply-angled concrete under the overpass. I shed my helmet, took in the last of my Gatorade, and took pause for a few short minutes. When riding in extreme heat, it's just as important to pay close attention to your body's warning signs. Dehydration is not the only risk. If you're starting to overheat, you should stop exerting yourself. Finding some shade is recommended, even if the only shade is but a smallish tree. If nothing is around, you can even try hiding your body in the shadow of your jersey draped over your bike's frame. Fortunately, I had several feet of concrete to cover myself with, and I kept drinking as I watched motorists whiz by in their climate-controlled death-traps.
Fluids running low, heat index climbing, and traffic congestion brewing, I departed from the safety of my dusky island and out into the stygian chasm between my location and my domicile. With seven miles remaining in my journey and but a precious few swigs of water left, there was no way I'd reach my destination without risking my health. Could I make it home? Almost certainly. Would it suck? Without a doubt. I stopped at Sonic a mile down the road to have my water bottles recharged with ice water. Sweet success!
Just down the road was the entrance to Turkey Creek Trail, and I knew I'd be in the clear once I got to that point. In this heat, there are no people to be found "enjoying" the paths. The rest of the trip was without event. I managed to polish off all the ice water as I approached my apartment complex. I managed to take in almost 90 ounces of fluids over the course of about an hour. If I am going to make this journey again, I am certainly bringing at least an extra one-liter bottle of water, tucked away in my panniers or lunch bag. Bite your tongues about the Camelbak, guys. It's not happening. I'll carry a milk jug of water in my panniers before I strap two liters onto my already drenched back.
Right after I got home, I still felt great. I could have kept riding if I had enough hydration and nutrients to support such an adventure. All in all, I'm very happy that I decided to abstain from the bus today. I might do it more often, once I have a way to carry more water.
An update on the NiteRider situation, too. All I have to do is fax my receipt in, and they'll send me a new bulb even though I'm almost twice beyond their bulb warranty. I followed one of my commenters' advice and called them directly, initially asking about putting a 15 watt bulb in. When the tech support guy heard that my bulb burned out in less than 4 months, he offered a replacement without me even asking. Had he not offered, I would have asked anyways. I'm glad they made the first move, though.

Man, that is just intense, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that kind of heat.
By the way, I am 100% with you on the camelpack. Once you go with a pannier or a rack bag, you never go back, the wind blowing on your back is crucial.

As a member of the camelbackers club. All I have to say is it's not that bad to have a camelback on your back. The materials used on newest camel backs wick moisture extremely well so they don't feel hot at all. Also, keep in mind the very first camelback was developed and used in the "Hotter than Hell 100" here in Texas. Where not only are you riding 100 miles the temp is likely to be just as high.
I've found their advertisement true that if you have close access to your water you tend to drink more. In my pre-camel days I would almost never drink at a stoplight. Especially if there was a high amount of traffic. Now that I have one all I have to do is reach down with my lips for the bite valve and drink and I don't have to take my eyes off traffic or the traffic signals or my hands off the handlebars.. One of the things I hated back in my college days of riding was coming to a light, going for my bottle, then before I can drink or put the bottle away, the light would change and I'd be fumbling with getting back under power and hit the bottle case with the bottle. The camel back solves this problem.

See, you just had to, didn't you?
I don't have problems staying hydrated. I often drink at stop lights, but just as often drink when I'm on the move. If the light changes, I never have a problem taking off while holding the bottle in hand for the first few feet. I always keep my "active" bottle in the downtube cage, and can sneak a drink without looking or thinking about it.

You know, the weird thing is I sweat more in the winter, being all bundled up, than I do in these temperatures. Stick with it and keep your eyes open for those sprinkler systems...
And, yes, I love the fact that extreme temperatures = less traffic on the paths.
