The Publisher's View: Australia's avifauna is large, diverse and spectacular, reflecting the continent's impressive range of habitats and evolutionary history. With specially commissioned paintings of over 900 species, The Australian Bird Guide is the most comprehensive field guide to Australian birds ever seen.
The Australian Bird Guidefeatures around 4700 colour illustrations, with particular emphasis on providing the fine detail required to identify difficult groups and distinctive plumages. Comprehensive species accounts have been written by a dedicated team of ornithologists to ensure identification details, distribution and status are current and accurate.
Other Views: "I was fortunate recently to visit Australia with my family. When a Brisbane-based friend heard we were coming over he advised me to wait before buying a new field guide, as this one was due to be published. This was excellent advice as the new ABG – nine years in the making - is a first-rate field guide, one of the best I've seen. […] Should you buy this book if you've already got an Australian field guide? Yes, I'd suggest it would be a shame not to. The only (inevitable) downside is its size; it's a big beast of a book so if you're planning to do long hikes then maybe go for a smaller guide (or maybe an app version might follow?) Otherwise, it's worth the extra sweating! Highly recommended."
The Authors & Illustrators: Peter Menkhorst became hooked on birding and natural history books when, as a seven year old, he used Caley's What Bird is That? to identify a New Holland Honeyeater in his garden; he is now a zoologist at the Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research, Victoria. He is author, with Frank Knight, of A Field Guide to the Mammals of Australia (2010), editor and major contributor to the award-winning Mammals of Victoria (1995) and edited two editions of Pizzey and Knight's Field Guide to the Birds of Australia (HarperCollins). He was awarded the Australian Natural History Medallion in 1998.
Rohan Clarkeis an ecologist and ornithologist at Monash University. A birder since childhood, he has field experience with all but a couple of Australian species. He gets a kick out of birding remote island outposts and leading pelagic excursions to watch seabirds, as both present rich opportunities for new insight and discovery. He has previously authored Finding Australian Birds: A Field Guide to Birding Locations.
Fatbirder View:I'm going to keep this shortAustralia has been blessed for some years with at least three excellent fieldguides and some first-rate apps based on them. I've birded in the field there using two different fieldguides and both were superb. In Europe 'Collins' set the benchmark for fieldguides everywhere and in the US 'Sibley' stepped up to the plate. Many country fieldguides have followed and most have kept up the standard giving us birders better guides to may first-class birding destinations. This year I had my fourth trip planned to Australia to 'clean up' those bird families I've dipped on before and received this guide before the departure date. Despite having three Australian fieldguide apps on my phone, and despite the weight of this new guide I decided it had to come with me as it is, simply, the best fildguide for birders anywhere; superbly well-written and amazingly illustrated! I say amazingly because each bird is wonderfully depicted, each plate excellently arranged and an incredible consistency given that there are a number of illustrators involved. There is a commissioning editor somewhere who should get a bonus for their choice of those involved in this project.
Then personal disaster struck forcing me to cancel my long-anticipated trip. The only straw I am left to clutch for is the hope that an app, based on this book, will become available should I get that trip back. Despite my set back I can still be unequivocal… this is simply the best birding fieldguide EVER!


I am on the UW-Parkside volleyball team, a member of the Parkside American Marketing Association (PAMA), and was an orientation leader this past summer.
This past summer I worked as a team lead at Menchies Frozen Yogurt in West Bend and was a Ranger Orientation Advising and Registration Leader.
My favorite place to study is the lounge area in the University Apartments. Not a lot of people use it so it's usually nice and quiet and there is plenty of room.
My favorite place is Noodles and Company.
Petrifying springs park. It is right down the road and so beautiful. If you have the chance you should go for a walk, hike, or bike ride through it!
My grandfather owns a sheep farm and I showed sheep in 4-H from age 8-18.
Speech 105. Coming into college I dreaded speaking in front of large groups of people. However, with a bit of practice and the help of the professor I was able to improve quite a bit and was even chosen to represent my class on speech night.
Donald Gillespie, he was always so nice and had so much knowledge and experience he would share with his classes.
I think the best thing about being a student at UW-Parkside is the sense of community between people. It's hard to walk through the hallways without seeing a familiar face.
The first thing that drew me to Parkside was volleyball. Then, once I came here on a visit, I saw all of the great things the school had to offer and I knew I could make this my second home. I especially liked the small class sizes, the pretty campus, and the location.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Professors want to help you, you just have to give them the opportunity to. If you don't understand something in class or even want some advice on a project, go to during their office hours and talk to them about it. The other piece of advice that I would always share with my groups at Orientation was to get involved. UW-Parkside offers you so many opportunities. Do this whether it be volunteering, interning at a local company, or helping you make connections with your peers at intramurals. This will in turn make sure you have a better college experience and help prepare you for the rest of your life.

This Pony 3/4" Pipe Clamp is one of America's most popular, most widely-used clamp fixture design. It is ideal for metalworking, woodworking, and frame assembly - in applications that range from do-it-yourself to industrial production. Screw is 5/8" diameter steel with special, smoothly cut Acme threads and clamping faces are approximately 1-3/4" square. Mounts on any length 3/4" black pipe with both ends threaded (pipe not included).
Great classic clamps. Can't say much else.
These clamps do everything I need, they work well.
Pony clamp is the best pipe clamp on the market !! I'm glad Grizzly brought it back. Tried others, they are just not the same.
I have used other clamps but yours are so much better much heavier and I am more than satisfied.
I just added 6 more clamps to my arsenal of pipe clamps. These are much better quality than the cheaper import options. Highly recommended.
I BOUGHT THIS ITEM FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR A CHRISTMAS PRESENT. SHE LOVES TO WORK WITH WOOD AND MAKE COOL ITEMS LIKE HER DAD. MY SHOP IS FULL OF GRIZZLY EQUIPEMENT. I ALSO BOUGHT HER THE CLAMP BUDDY FOR HR CLAMPS, ANOTHER GOOD ITEM FOR HER SHOP AS I ALSO HAVE THESE ITEMS IN MY SHOP. THESE ITEMS ARE AN EXCELLENT START FOR HER SHOP.
I can't get enough of these clamps. I have about 30 of them so far and honestly think I'm addicted!! I'm saddened to hear Pony will no longer be making them. I have put so much tension on them making end grain panels that I have snapped the pipe threads off and these clamps endured. A bit pricy but you pay for what you get.
These were the best pipe clamps. Very sorry to hear Pony went out of business. I'm sure that why the price has gone up on the ones you can still find. Grizzly has the best price right now.

https://store.liverpoolfc.com/kit?lfm_medium=liverpoolfc.com&lfm_source=news-story&lfm_campaign=ret-home-kit-launch-2021
The launch of Liverpool's new five year kit deal with Nike is one of the most talked about commercial agreements in football for some considerable time. It's very different to most kit manufacturing deals. Liverpool even went to court to make it happen. Will it be worth it?
Before we look at the new deal, it's worth looking at the recently expired one with New Balance. It originally commenced in 2012 with NB's Warrior brand for £25m a year, but unlike the preceding deal with adidas, Liverpool regained control over non-branded merchandise.
The six year deal, which was to end in 2018, was renewed with New Balance in 2014 with a newly revised five year deal commencing in the 2015/16 season. This deal was reported at the time to be £28m a year- a mere £3m increase.
In December 2018, journalists who closely cover the club began to report for the first time that the deal was actually worth £45m per year. This was likely true for the 2017/18 season's total revenue from the NB deal, but the base figure appears to have been £28m.
This is further supported by the fact commercial income for the club actually reduced by £670,000 between 2014/15 and 2015/16 (as per the club's accounts)- something that would have been extremely unlikely had the NB deal increased from £25m to £45m between those two seasons.
This suggests that the renewed deal, in NB's name, had a base of £28m and then profit share for any shirts sold above a specified quantity. This means, therefore, that in 2017/18, the NB deal probably did rake in £45m for Liverpool.
The court case between Liverpool and NB - held in October 2019 - brought to light interesting information- the NB deal generated £64m for Liverpool in the following 2018/19 season (something the incoming club CEO Billy Hogan confirmed was correct). That was based on 1.8m in sales.
The 2019/20 kit, during the same trial, was also revealed to be increasing in sales by a whopping 59% (off the back of the Champions League win)- this resulted in circa 2.9m in sales. It's likely this saw revenue for the club exceed £70m in the final year of the NB deal.
It's worth noting that kit sales alone would not have generated this big growth in revenue from the deal. In addition to the kit, other merchandise - such as training wear, casual clothing (e.g. hoodies) and footwear - will all have seen a massive increase in sales.
The Nike deal sees the base figure increase to £30m from £28m that was in place through the last contract with NB. That said, Liverpool is then entitled to 20% of net sales. So if the club sells one of the cheaper replica shirts at £70, the club would make £14 from that sale.
The amount of money the club will make will vary depending on the outlet a kit is sold through. Kits sold through the club and Nike will result in a larger net sales figure whereas shirts sold through third parties such as Sports Direct will result in lesser revenue.
This is because the likes of Sports Direct pay wholesale prices and purchase very large numbers of shirts. It's likely that such retailers will secure a discount per item of anywhere between 25% - 50%, depending on how many kits they purchase.
If we take Sports Direct, as an example- if they sell the replica shirt for £70 (the same retail price as the club or Nike are selling it for), they may purchase it with a 40% discount (which is then their gross margin).
From the sale of a single shirt, the 20% net sale revenue for the club is therefore £8.40 (20% of £42, which is the wholesale price per shirt it has been sold to Sports Direct for). This contrasts with £14 per shirt if sold directly by the club.
Nike had originally been targeting 2.9m in sales (revealed in court last October) for 2020/21, but upon learning that this figure was achieved by NB with far less marketing, publicity and footfalll than Nike can and will bring to bear, their sales target has likely been revised.
It's not known how many shirts will be sold by the club, by Nike and by third party retailers. Let's assume 3m in sales and the average net sales contribution to Liverpool is £12. This will result in £36m. However, Nike has released the Vapor shirt which is retailing at £100.
This will likely be produced in lesser quantities than the standard replica shirt. However, if even a quarter of shirts sold are the more expensive Vapor versions, that will generate an extra £3m for the club.
The £30m base figure plus £39m (£36m + £3m) already takes us up to £69m. That's before you factor in all the non-kit sales, which are likely to be huge- especially if Liverpool can eventually extend the agreement into a collaboration with Jordan (like PSG currently have).
All told, then, this new deal should comfortably top £75m in its first year and has the potential to hit the £100m mark if its non-kit merchandise hits it off with the Liverpool fanbase.
Some have estimated that this deal might only be worth around £50m-60m or so to the club. Why would Liverpool go through an expensive court case to move from a deal that for the last season will have brought in at least £70m to move to a deal paying substantially less?
Liverpool is one of the best run clubs in the world, and though the deal is certainly a riskier one in how its assembled (especially if kit sales see an appreciable decline in three or four years' time), they would not have moved into this without carefully modelling its impact.
The Nike deal should see Liverpool's kit deal surpass the £79m per annum adidas generate for Manchester United each season. Later next week, I will look at whether Liverpool can bridge the still sizeable commercial gap between its fierce rival in other areas.

Liverpool's significant progress in recent years has seen its revenue experience sizeable growth. The club is closing the financial gap with fierce rival Man United at a stellar pace- but there is one area where a sizeable gulf still exists, and that's on the commercial front.

How confidential is the mediation process?
By Amanda Taddeo Lawyer
The Code of Civil Procedure stipulates that all that is said or written as part of the mediation process shall remain confidential. However, in the recent case of Bisaillon v. Bouvier, 2017 QCCS 3788 (CanLII), the Honourable Benoît Moore of the Superior Court of Québec allowed summary agreements to be submitted as evidence in divorce proceedings.
The fiduciary veil should not be lifted
By Amélie Dupras Lawyer
That is the conclusion reached by the Court of Appeal of Québec in Karam c. Succession de Yared (2018 QCCA 320) on March 1, 2018. In this case, the Court was called upon to determine whether the value of a residence purchased by a trust but in which spouses lived during the time they cohabitated should be considered when partitioning the family patrimony.
DIY wills
The simplest solutions that could cause headaches for your heirs!
By Eloïse Pion Lawyer
When drafting a document as important as a will, it is crucial to ensure that all formal requirements are met in order to guarantee validity. Indeed, if a will does not comply with the strict rules outlined in the Civil Code of Québec, your last wishes may never come to be and could even lead to estate litigation that will prove costly in terms of time, energy and money for your heirs.
How a spouse's bankruptcy impacts the division of family patrimony
On March 6, 2017, the Court of Appeal of Québec assessed the impacts of a spouse's bankruptcy on the division of family patrimony in Syndic de R.T. (2017 QCCA 362). More specifically, the Court examined whether a debt stemming from a division of family patrimony arising from a judgment of divorce constitutes a provable debt within the meaning of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.

Testamentary substitution: an important tool to pass on your estate
By Marie-Sophie Marceau Lawyer
With the prevalence of stepfamilies, drawing up a will and expressing final wishes may prove challenging for some. Leaving assets to a partner who is not your child's parent can raise many questions. Once your assets are transferred to your spouse, they may slip through your children's fingers.
Election promises and family law: Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB)
In January, the Conservative government amended the family support program by increasing the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) and abolishing the child tax credit for children under the age of 18.The UCCB now provides $160 per month per child under the age of six and $60 per month per child between the ages of 6 and 18. However, since the UCCB is a taxable benefit (except for families that earn less than $20 000 annually), much of the amount will be paid back as income tax.
Separated parents: Plan your holidays!
By Marie-Ève Dufort Lawyer
If you plan to take your minor child abroad on holidays this summer, be sure to plan ahead! In order to allow a minor child to travel internationally, several countries require the written consent of the parents. Also, all minor children must have their own passports. In Canada, these documents must be presented upon re-entry.
Child Support Recalculation Service (SARPA) comes into effect
By Marie-Ève Dufort Lawyer, Eloïse Pion Lawyer

New provisions of the Act to promote access to justice in family matters came into effect on June 15, 2012, extending the period for retroactive applications for support and outlining new obligations in terms of financial information sharing between spouses.
Consult before you consent!
When spouses divorce and a party requests spousal support, it is in the best interest of both persons involved to consult with a legal advisor. In fact, in its ruling in L.M.P. v. L.S., 2011 SCC 64, the Supreme Court of Canada highlighted the importance of seeking expert advice before signing a consent.

There is a backwater area on Lake Macbride where I can almost always find waterfowl, from various ducks, geese, herons and egrets. The herons and egrets are the most sensitive to the activity of humans. There are times, I can not step off the trail into the grass without the herons and egrets flying away. I wish they could understand, that I don't want to disturb them, just take their picture. There appears to be a margin of safety that each species lives by, with the herons being the most skittish, followed closely by egrets. Most of the time the geese and most ducks couldn't care if I am in their line of sight or for that matter, anywhere near them.
I try to approach the herons and egrets very slowly and if possible from the side with my camera and 100-400 lens, handheld, ready for any action. Occasionally, the sun backlights the birds as they feed, take-off, fly or as seen below, land. These birds look gangly and awkward when on the ground or in the water hunting for food, but when they are flying, it's like watching an aerial ballet. I think the translucent feathers of their spread out wings while landing is a beautiful site.
On a side note, one evening, mid summer, I was fortunate to watch a doe and her two fawns approach the backwater edge, drink and disappear in a matter of less than a few minutes. I stood absolutely still, not even swatting at the mosquitoes. I didn't have the proper lens to get a photograph, so I just watched. Sometimes that is even a better memory than a image.

How to Recruit the Best Tech Talent
Recruiting the best tech talent takes honesty and sincerity, not bells and whistles. And yet many HR departments continue to believe that they have to do something out of the ordinary in order to attract and keep competent tech talent. Although it's true that HR departments should be worrying about keeping their tech job slots filled, since in the not too distant future it's predicted that there will be hundreds of technology positions open for every qualified candidate — it's not a case of do or die. It takes a little common sense, and the courage to face down the following bugaboos that have haunted HR rooms for too long:
Just show 'em the money
Flash enough of the green stuff in front of a prospective employee's face and they'll sign on the dotted line quick as greased lightning. Or will they? Surprisingly, most candidates for a tech position are looking at the big picture — what are the opportunities for growth and advancement — and not at the greenbacks. Besides, is it really wise to hire someone who's in it just for the money?
Top talent needs spoiling
The top tech talent won't take the bait unless there are oodles of perks attached to the position. Of course the basic benefits package should be generous and appealing, but dangling a personal masseuse and an unlimited supply of Godiva chocolates in front of prospects sends a message of desperation, not confidence.
The best tech talent winds up at Facebook or Google, so why even try for them?
Surprise, surprise! More and more techies are opting for smaller, niche, jobs, where they can be the big fish in a small pond. Besides, with congressional hearings and other fallout, Facebook and Google no longer have such invincible reputations anymore!

This 25 foot long single sheet of water colors was created in one day, on site at Condé Nast in NYC. The video was made for Vanity Fair and debuted the day before the opening of Trainwreck, directed by Judd Apatow, written by and starring the genius Amy Schumer. Apatow enjoyed this video, tweeting such things as "Awesome job! @lindsaymound" And "I am don't deserve such lovely artwork."
Yes, you do, Judd. For Freaks & Geeks, you deserve the world.
The artwork for this short video was created in one day in a tight turnaround for Ed Helm's new movie release, the reboot of National Lampoon's Vacation. In hindsight, more time would have covered more ground, but I can say Mr. Helms was very nice.


Now on DVD is a remarkable 8 hour course by Naomi Bennett as she lectures to a group of students on the integrating theory of astrology as it relates to sacred geometry and current scientific thought. She progresses you through the meaning of the signs, the houses, planets and aspects that were discovered by Carl Payne Tobey.
Since that time, she has deepened and expanded on CPT's discoveries to add her connection to current thought and discoveries since his writings in the 1950's. She has added her own research to cross relate these concepts with recent research and related fields of study.
This course is extensive researched and documented with a reference list of resources for the serious student of astrology and it's related fields. This is a foundation course for both the beginning student and for those that wish to understand the underlying theory that is hidden within the design of astrology that few have fully understood.
Priced at $150 plus $5 shipping. It is a 6 DVD set of 10 hours of instruction. This is priced to let all students of modest means study this endlessly fascinating subject.

26. What is the Abstract World?
Carl was an advocate of the equal houses system and transits after long experimentation and use of many techniques. He explains how all systems are calculated, their theoretical foundations, and his actual experience of them. He was a great researcher and investigator of astrological techniques. He discovered why the planets were assigned to specific signs and he discovered the geometric pattern behind house rulership. In addition, he extended the use of arabic parts by calculating a new additional natal chart using traditional arabic parts that bring out hidden attributes of a personality.
There are three tests in the course: the ability to calculate a chart by hand, interpretation of Venus in all 12 signs, and calculation of Arabic parts for the secondary chart. Carl wanted all students of astrology to be investigators so he didn't advocate memorization of rules for testing. He wanted students to bring their own talents to light as they examined astrology in their lives. Carl taught this course to over 800 people in his lifetime, he died in 1980 at the age of 78.
Naomi Bennett was a former student and associate of Carl Payne Tobey in Tucson from 1968 to 1974. She has extensive knowledge of his techniques and uses them in her practice. This book is available here for $ 35. Naomi can be reached at naomibennett9@yahoo.com or by cell (512) 619-8255. Email me if you want to purchase as a PDF file online, especially for international use.
Carl Tobey pioneered a modern approach to tradition astrology by approaching its principals with a questioning mind to test and verify its techniques and premises that have been handed down to us over centuries from many sources. This book is a consolidation of much of his writings on astrology from 1938 until 1962 that have not been available for over 30 years. He and Grant Lewi were associates and best friends that both wanted astrology to be studied and taught in 20th Century terms.
Tobey was the first American astrologer to do statistical research in 1935 and was an independent thinker who believed that our own experience is the best authority. As a amateur mathematician, he looked for the hidden design buried within astrology that is obscured by ancient terms and symbols. if only one He explored the realms of sacred geometry to find the hidden meaning for one that has the eyes to see them. He practiced and studied astrology for over 50 years and his insights are of value today.
I have published this book to make our best American astrologers available to us now and in the 21st Century. As we approach the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, it heralds a new period of individuality, originality and unique ideas. Carl Payne Tobey was a man whose ideas were ahead of his own time but ripe for understanding at this precipice in time and space.
Email me at naomibennett9@yahoo.com if you want to purchase as a PDF file online, especially for international use.
Carl Payne Tobey, born in 1902, spent 50+ years in all phases of astrology. His work in editorial capacities on four national astrology magazines, including American Astrology, kept him abreast of all the continuing changes in this complex field. He was creator and author of the syndicated newspaper feature, This Week in Astrology, with clear, incisive insight into astrology extended to millions of readers.
Following nearly a half-century of experiment, investigation and practice, Carl Tobey sums up his life's work here by revivifying and clarifying the strict mathematical foundations of astrology. In Astrology of Inner Space, he corrects the 'materialistic distortion' of Ptolemy and the Greeks, and illuminates Newtonian concepts as they relate to astrology.
With refreshing new insight, he re-explores the twelve houses of the zodiac, challenging the stereotype that popular interpretation has put on the age-old signs. Also included are chapters on double rulership, esotericism, planetary nodes, arabic parts, the secondary chart, music of the spheres, mate signs, the Aquarian Age, coincidence, and Tobey's final chapter: Inner Space.

Q: How do you calculate this space complexity of this algorithm? I am working on space complexity of algorithms.
There is an algorithm that can compute the max for each pair in an array until the list length become 1.
Given the array is [25,22,27,33].
[25] [22] [27] [33]
  [25] [27] [33]
    [27] [33]
       [33]

How do you calculate the space complexity of this algorithm?

A: It would be fine, if you can provide a code, than we can calculate time and space complexity.
First thing, do you dropout lowest element of array or some random element? If you drop out lowest element in each iteration, it is a simple problem. In O(n) time complexity you can find a pair of element with highest sum. Actually you find two number with biggest value, and store them as highest pair in all iteration, after that in all iteration you decrease number of your element, and need O(n) time to rearrange your array,and you need to do that n-1 times . Upper limit is O(n^2). Otherwise, if you drop out random number, structure of algorithms is same but you need find two maximum number in current array.

purely midevil, a real listener!!!!!
From: Renato Date: December 8, 2001 at 20:12
On this ominous album Yngwie reaches his full potential as a performer of his songs. A work of art.
From: Date: December 10, 2001 at 15:08
Malmsteen offers superb Wagnerian and majestic metal songs, along with fine musicians as Soto,Johanson bros and Jacob.
From: Dragonfly Date: December 15, 2001 at 9:05
Yngwie is one of the names that put Swedish rock on the map besides Europe. A true masterpiece. No other guitarist can touch his work.
From: SebShred Date: December 22, 2001 at 13:12
Unreachable ..The best Yngwie album...His playing is superb and Soto stands as one of the best metal voices
From: jason (FA - Q) Date: June 14, 2002 at 14:18
I don't understand? How come Malmsteen has a page here and Joe Satriani and Steve Vai do not? Malmsteen may be fast, but all around I think that Satriani is skies above Yngwie! On my list of guitar players Malmsteen wouldn't even be on there. I know that some of you might think I am crazy, but the truth is I don't like his style. The bottom line here is, give Satriani & Vai a page on this site.
From: Jose M.(Spain) Date: June 27, 2002 at 14:57
I think this is the best Malmsteen album, If you hear this album you'll know why Jeff Scott Soto is one of the best Rock singers ever. Jeff Rules!!!!
From: zakar Date: September 1, 2002 at 4:39
still with alcatrazz style, but with more yngwie
From: Date: February 9, 2003 at 12:55
Uno de sus mejores álbumes. Sin duda su primera etapa es la mejor. Soto está increible en este disco al igual que que Yngwie tocando esos solos de guitarra que para nada se hacen aburridos como los que ahora hace.
From: RR-Finland Date: August 28, 2003 at 4:31
Great second album, better than first one. So powerfull and strong.
From: diego Date: November 14, 2003 at 18:25

From: Blue Charvel Date: December 18, 2003 at 9:42
Motley, you are of course welcome to your opinions, no reason ta kill ya for that. IMHO it's kinda like comparing apples to oranges (or in your case perhaps smørrebrød to pickled herring... ). I've always been a fan of both VH & YM, depends on the mood I'm in. Sadly I have to agree with the fact that YM's a bit repetitive with his solos, but I still like him anyway. This is my second favorite by him, my first being Trilogy.
From: meradona Date: February 5, 2004 at 12:36
el mejor de malmsteem con mucha diferencia, despues perdio la frescura que caracteriza este album , impresionante i'll see the light, i'm a viking, y don't let it end. JEFF SCOTT SOTO es el mejor vocalista que ha estado en malmsteem .
From: dody Date: April 7, 2004 at 9:09
the great f*ckin' song
From: Big Papa K Date: June 14, 2004 at 2:03
This album starts off great with "I'll See The Light Tonight", but slows down after this as Malmsteen runs into a patter that affects most of his albums, a strong start and the rest of the album is very inconsistent. 6/10
From: Metalmania Date: September 18, 2004 at 23:46
Just saw the video for "I'll See The Light, Tonight"...is that really JSS in the video cause it sure doesn't look like him or has his stage presence? Anybody know for sure?
From: CHIRO Date: October 2, 2004 at 8:25
This is a good album...but not its best...I think that malmsteen got better with the years...Albums like SEVENTH SIGN MAGNUS OPUS and FACING THE ANIMAL..Prove it...I don't think that jeff was the best singer...I'd prefer Mats Levens or Mike vescera....But that's my opinion..It doesn't mean i'm the right one
From: Propane Date: November 30, 2004 at 18:25
This man has perfected the art of technical guitar, without interference. Most excellent album.
From: Metalhead66 Date: December 23, 2004 at 13:20

From: Geoff Date: January 4, 2005 at 6:24
Same story as the debut. I understand why musicians like and appreciate this kind of stuff, but for the kids like me who like to hear a good song, this just escapes me. Once agan, a whole album passes and not a thing sticks in my mind.

Tras un pimer trabajo en el que sólo pudimos disfrutar de él en dos temas, Jeff Scott Soto CANTA (Joder como canta) en este disco mostrando su nivel excelente. Impresionante trabajo del genio de las seis cuerdas sueco, con mi cantante favorito, en un DISCAZO que hay que tener, con himnos como "I'll see the light, I'm a Viking..." Uno de los mejores trabajos de Yngwie un "MUST HAVE" para todos los fans del metal. No temais, todavía no se había convertido en Yngwie "Plastaing".

This second album has vocals on the majority of songs (unlike his first one which is a great guitar instrumental cd with only 2 songs that h ave vocals). Jeff Scott Soto of course sounds good and the songs are great. Malmsteen shreds it up like his usual. The Johansson brothers are great as well. There are plenty of melodies and catchy songs on here that hit hard. It's fine Melodic Metal as categorized above. The 85/100 seems about right but I'll give 88/100 since it's Yngwie!

This one along with Odyssey are the best releases of the swedish guitar wizard!
From: rbrigade Date: October 21, 2009 at 6:16
Geoff if you don't hear great songs on this album then you definitely have to get your ears chcked! Just listen to Don't let it end or I am a viking. My guess is you don't like metal.

Second release of the guitar "maestro" ...best cuts for me are 2,4,7,9 & 10...for guitar players this must be almost a wet dream.86/100


There are some changes going on in the Timshel camp now.
Due to the fact that Sebastian, our bass player, lives so far away from everyone else and therefore isn´t available to come play with us that often, we have decided to replace him with Patrick who has played with us whenever Sebastian couldn´t. We were all aware of that it would come to this one day, it is difficult to maintain a band that is so geographically spread out. So no hard feelings.
Even though it is sad that Sebastian won´t be playing bass with us anymore, we are very glad that Patrick were willing to become our permanent bass-player and it felt natural since he´s been playing with us a great deal and already feels as a member. This way it is also easier to focus on the band, when everyone knows their place.
And we are not letting go of Sebastian completely, he will remain as a co-writer/arranger and multi-instrumentalist which we are very happy for! So you will still hear his touch on the songs.
And welcome Patrick, we are happy to have your skillful playing in Timshel!
On other notes, we are happy to announce that Timshel is through to the GBOB final in Helsinki! We did not expect this and we are overwhelmed with the good feedback we received after the semi-final. So thank you again, and we´ll see you in Helsinki 14.4!

Q: executing code taking too much time Below is a part of my code.When I run the code it takes too much time to be executed (more than 8 minutes). After few tests, I found out that delay caused by each while loop. I tried to move the queries inside the loop but that was useless.
Any idea how I can reduce the delay?
sql="update rpttbl set cutsum= ? where temp=?";
            prepStmt=conCreate.prepareStatement(sql);
            rs=rptStmt.executeQuery("select temp from rpttbl");
            prepStmt2=createDBcon.prepareStatement("select sum(la2a) from "+Globals.comp+".sarchivelist where lempid= ? and "
                        + "(ldate='"+Globals.year+"-"+Globals.date+"-28') and (la5=22 or la5=33 or la5=2) ");
            while(rs.next()){
                prepStmt2.setString(1, rs.getString(1));
                prepStmt2.execute();
                rs2=prepStmt2.getResultSet();
                prepStmt.setString(2, rs.getString(1));
                if(!rs2.next()){
                }
                else{
                    prepStmt.setString(1,rs2.getString(1));
                    prepStmt.addBatch();
                }
                prepStmt.executeBatch();
            }

            sql="update rpttbl set promir= ? where temp=?";
            prepStmt=conCreate.prepareStatement(sql);
            rs=rptStmt.executeQuery("select temp from rpttbl");
            prepStmt2=createDBcon.prepareStatement("select la2a from "+Globals.comp+".sarchivelist where lempid= ? and "
                        + "(ldate='"+Globals.year+"-"+Globals.date+"-28') and la6=6 ");
            while(rs.next()){
                prepStmt2.setString(1, rs.getString(1));
                prepStmt2.execute();
                rs2=prepStmt2.getResultSet();
                prepStmt.setString(2, rs.getString(1));
                if(!rs2.next()){
                }
                else{
                    prepStmt.setString(1,rs2.getString(1));
                    prepStmt.addBatch();
                }
                prepStmt.executeBatch();
            }

            sql="update rpttbl set proch= ? where temp=?";
            prepStmt=conCreate.prepareStatement(sql);
            rs=rptStmt.executeQuery("select temp from rpttbl");
            prepStmt2=createDBcon.prepareStatement("select sum(la2a) from "+Globals.comp+".sarchivelist where lempid= ? and "
                        + "(ldate='"+Globals.year+"-"+Globals.date+"-28') and la6=10001 ");
            while(rs.next()){
                prepStmt2.setString(1, rs.getString(1));
                prepStmt2.execute();
                rs2=prepStmt2.getResultSet();
                prepStmt.setString(2, rs.getString(1));
                if(!rs2.next()){
                }
                else{
                    prepStmt.setString(1,rs2.getString(1));
                    prepStmt.addBatch();
                }
                prepStmt.executeBatch();
            }

edit:
I moved prepStmt.executeBatch(); outside the while() loop, but that didn't reduce the delay.

A: execute the prepStmt.executeBatch(); outside the while() loop

Last weekend my blog had the most hits ever in one day by a factor of seven, as my blog post on Eight steps to thriving on information overload was featured first on Lifehacker, and in turn appeared on a variety of prominent sites, including del.icio.us popular, popurls, and then the front page of del.icio.us. It also received a good number of diggs, though it didn't hit the front page of Digg.com.
It's instructive to unpack how this happened. The first element was clearly content that hit a hot button for people, and was useful. A large part of my job is throwing at executives wild, provocative, and instructive insights from across everything that's happening in technology and business, and helping them to make sense of it and take useful action. One of the most common responses, especially recently, has been to ask how I manage to keep on top of so much in a world run amok. Everyone is experiencing increasing pressure to keep up, and feeling they are not succeeding. Interestingly, my blog post was a repost of a magazine article I wrote ten years ago on this topic, showing the issue is a perennial. It's only going to become more acute as years go by.
After I posted the article on August 27, there were a few blog posts about it, most notably by Jack Vinson, who excerpted the article on his blog two days later, and then mentioned it again a week after that. Jack has good, influential readership, especially in the knowledge management community.
The next step was the post getting taken up by Stumbleupon, a service that allows the serendipitous discovery of interesting websites, based on users' votes. Just four people voted for my blog post, but this was enough for a hundred or so people to stumble across it through the service. I suspect this was how Lifehacker, the number six most popular blog in the world as ranked by Technorati, came across the post. Well over 1,000 visitors came to my site from Lifehacker, many of whom bookmarked the post on Del.icio.us.
The Del.icio.us Popular page shows the sites that have received the most bookmarks in a recent period, probably around four hours. Popurls is an interesting site that aggregates over a dozen of the top community news sites, meaning that once you hit the front page of digg, tailrank, Del.icio.us Popular, or similar sites, you in turn appear on popurls, generating yet more traffic. My article appeared on Del.icio.us Popular for less than a day, then a day later hit the front page of del.icio.us, which is weighted more to absolute numbers of bookmarks, and less to recency. This means it takes longer to reach this level of prominence, and some "popular" bookmarks never make it to the front page. Various other services, including Clipmarks (which excerpts interesting articles), also featured my article. A number of other blogs have also referenced my post, but probably haven't resulted in a lot of traffic, except for the prominent Beth's blog, which picked up the story from Jack Vinson.
This detailed sequence of the post going "viral" brings out the distinction between influencers and amplifiers. This difference has been promoted by Buzzlogic, a service for companies to monitor conversations about their products. Buzzlogic co-founder Mitch Ratcliffe spoke on "Tapping the Power of Influence Networks" panel at our Future of Media Summit earlier this year.
In the context of my blog post, influencers include Jack Vinson and Lifehacker, who chose to write about the article, as well as the first people to vote for the story in Stumbleupon. Del.icio.us was primarily an amplifier in helping an existing signal become visible to others and then accentuated. Popurls played this role in an even purer form, simply by making more broadly visible what was already prominent.
One of the key characteristics of the web today is that there are so many amplification mechanisms. The first stage of content being seen widely requires prominent influencers to recognize interesting content and point to it. Once it is sufficiently visible, many sites pick up that signal and amplify it. It is not just the most prominent sites such as Digg, but also a proliferation of aspiring websites that try to build their own success by discovering and featuring what is popular elsewhere.
Some decry this phenomenon, saying that this populism taken to the ultimate degree leads to a dumbing of culture. This debate has been reinvigorated recently, as a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism compared what was popular on Digg, Reddit and Del.icio.us with the news selected by editors for newspaper headlines. Nick Gonzalez, Mathew Ingram, Nick Carr, Dan Gillmor, and Brad Linder, among others, have weighed in on this. As some have noted, it is not a valid comparison. What is important is an understanding of the distinct role of influencers and amplifiers in the conversation (with journalists often playing both roles). This is fundamental to how messages flow in the online world, and where the Internet is going. In the medium-term, much of this will be driven by a proliferation of new websites seeking traffic by positioning themselves as amplifiers.
This is a really useful example of an analysis of the traffic that social media generates. Can you share what tools you used to facilitate your analysis? I'm guessing you used a combination of "ego feeds" and analytics programs such as google analytics or your blog's stat package.
Too quick on the submit button there .. one other thought. Now that you've unpacked the role that influencers and amplifiers play – and how different web based apps with social networking or network effect features contribute … How do you make that information actionable? Had it informed what you will write about? Does it inform any strategies?
Hi Beth, what I wrote about here I uncovered simply from my blogs stats engine (I primarily use Clicky) and Technorati.
I've spoken and written a fair bit about "influence networks" before e.g.


A long wait for the verb in the first clause.
When women between the ages of forty and sixty-nine receive annual mammograms, they get almost twice as many false-positive results as they would if they received mammograms biennially. These false-positive results can lead to unnecessary biopsies. When women in this age group get a positive result on an annual mammogram and then get a biopsy, only X% of them prove to have cancer. But the other Y% prove to be cancer free. Therefore, many more women will undergo unnecessary biopsies under annual screening than biennial screening.
Significantly, the new version is longer than the original. Usually brevity is desirable, but in this case it can squeeze out important statistics and cloud meaning.

Very wonderful info can be found on weblog . "Wealth may be an ancient thing, for it means power, it means leisure, it means liberty." by James Russell Lowell.
I know that this blog post was all about writing, but the topic of false positives in mammograms was of interest to me, as well. That was why I stopped to read more.
"A long wait for the verb in the first clause." It did take a long time to get to 'is', and next time I write in my blog, that is one of the things I will take into consideration, trying to curb my run on sentences.
Fantastic article – Thank you very much!
thanks!I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Counter-Strike's Jess Cliffe Being Held on $150K Bail for Soliciting a Minor
Posted by Gavin Sheehan February 3, 2018 Comment
Yesterday, after being arrested by police, co-creator of Counter-Strike Jess Cliffe appeared in court, where he admitted to soliciting a woman for sex, but claimed he did not know she was a minor. KIRO in Seattle reports that Cliffe allegedly arranged a meeting with the woman through a website, where he then met with her and paid her several times to have sex with him, including one encounter where he recorded the act against her will.
Screencap from 2005 Valve Interview by Radioplanet
Cliffe's attorney argued that even if the allegations are true, the meeting was set up on an adult website with guidelines that say you must be at least eighteen years old to use, and that Cliffe was not seeking an encounter with underage girls. According to court documents, Child Protective Services were aware of the incident going back to May 2017 and notified police, which would have made the woman in question 16 years old at the time police were made aware. It is unclear as to why it took police nearly eight months to arrest him. Cliffe is currently being held on $150,000 bail, as prosecutors argued that he is a "risk to the community." His next court appearance is set for Monday.
On the gaming front, since the arrest and subsequent charges, Valve has suspended Cliffe's employment. No matter what the outcome, it could pretty much be said that Cliffe won't be returning to the company, as we're sure Valve doesn't look too kindly on employees being arrested for prostitution in general. And considering the publicity this has received, it's only a matter of time before they find a new voice actor to replace his dialogue in the game and get a new patch out.
