Review blows. Most of the review is spent on you trying to dictate what an upcoming band shouldn't do, and docking points for the fact that they play power metal. There's little to no mention of the band's actual music outside of them playing power metal.

So basically, it's a good album ruined by terrible production quality.
What genre would you recommend a band start with these days?
Written by Boxcar Willy on 23.09.2013 at 04:07
Agreed on all accounts.

Agreed on all accounts.
Then I'll have to answer you alike I answered to UnknownCheese:
By reading it carefully you now know that:
- the band plays neoclassical power metal with progressive touches
- there are 2 instrumental tracks out of 7
- there are 15-minutes-long tracks
- there are epic tracks
- the production sucks and ruins some enjoyable tracks
- overall the tecnhical ability isn't bad
- there are some good ideas, like some singable choruses
- the lyrics are about dragons&co.
- the band imo has chosen the wrong genre to start with
- the band clearly puts passion into their music
Really this isn't enough to imagine a band's sound?

Lol at telling bands they shouldn't start with power metal, and should go with something open to a broader range of fans. I guess all bands should just play what people want to hear instead of what THEY want to play, seems reasonable. Also, stating that there are too many instrumental tracks is also absurd and again just feels like you trying to force a band into the format that YOU enjoy instead of what THEY want to do with their album structure.
Written by R Lewis on 25.09.2013 at 18:05
Then, as a HUGE power metal fan, I can ensure you that this genre of power metal was enjoyable in the beginning of the last decade. Now, it's a has-been.
Written by R Lewis on 25.09.2013 at 18:05
you'll soon find out that the band is incapable of writing an enjoyable instrumental track.
Written by Saiyanity on 26.09.2013 at 03:52 I would have no problem with you stating this in the review as that's a completely reasonable opinion, but you explicitly stated that no band should fill their debut with instrumental tracks "no matter how technically skilled you are" which is an entirely different thing altogether.
Written by Saiyanity on 26.09.2013 at 03:52 So there's zero chance that a good power metal album could be released these days? Therefore all bands who enjoy playing power metal should just quit playing what they love because it's a "has-been" genre? Again this sounds like you forcing your tastes on the band as I'm sure there's many many people who still enjoy new power metal releases.
Written by R Lewis on 26.09.2013 at 17:59
While this time, in the review is clearly stated that power metal "while it can still give satisfaction to already famous bands, it's probably the worst genre to start your career with these days". So, I still really enjoy new power metal releases (I'm damn excited with the new Rhapsody Of Fire), but I think that no band should begin with power metal, unless they're able to completely re-invent the genre, forging a fresh and original style. And this band didn't do that. Absolutely.

Bro, if you're going to quote text, take the 15 seconds (or less) to scroll up and actually quote the text. It makes you look silly when you paraphase someone's statement, especially when you omit the part of said person's statement that nullifies the point you're attempting to make. The point Mr. Lewis was trying to make was that you shouldn't attempt 15 minute tracks unless "You're sure you can handle a set of such importance and difficulty." It took me less than 30 seconds of listening to the first track to determine that this band is incapable of doing so (merely my opinion). And by "doing so," I'm implying that such a band is incapable of creating a captivating and engrossing song that could hold one's attention (mine, in this case), for more than 10+ minutes. Meh band, accurate review.

Grant Bunker
B.A., Evergreen 1976,
Ph.D., University of Washington, 1984
Biographical Note
Grant Bunker primarily studied physics and biology at Evergreen, after which he obtained a Ph.D. in physics/biophysics at the University of Washington with Edward A. Stern. After several years at the University of Pennsylvania and Associate Director of the Biostructures Institute in Philadelphia, working with Britton Chance in developing and operating synchrotron x-ray beamlines at Brookhaven National Lab, he was recruited to the Physics Department of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago as Associate Professor. He founded and directed the Biophysics Collaborative Access Team (BioCAT) at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. He is now Associate Dean for Research in the College of Science and Letters at IIT, and has recently published the book, Introduction to XAFS: a Practical Guide to X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy. He is married with three children, and lives in Oak Park, Illinois.
Publication Types

Latest Publication Title
Introduction to XAFS: a Practical Guide to X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy, Cambridge University Press, 2010
Publication Excerpt
Intro paragraph - what is XAFS?:
X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) Spectroscopy is a unique tool for studying, at the atomic and molecular scale, the local structure around selected elements that are contained within a material. XAFS can be applied not only to crystals, but also to materials that possess little or no long-range translational order: amorphous systems, glasses, quasicrystals, disordered films, membranes, solutions, liquids, metalloproteins - even molecular gases. This versatility allows it to be used in a wide variety of disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology, biophysics, medicine, engineering, environmental science, materials science, and geology.
How did Evergreen help you in your career?
The individual/group contract format provided the flexibility to learn for the sake of learning, which is what attracted me to Evergreen, and to delve into advanced topics earlier than most conventional curricula would allow. That flexibility also permitted me the invaluable learning experience of serving as a student firefighter and EMT (program unfortunately discontinued). Now, as a faculty member at IIT, the excellent and dedicated faculty I worked with decades ago continue to inspire: Rob Knapp, Sig Kutter, Byron Youtz, Fred Tabbutt, Burt Guttman. Although most of them are no longer at Evergreen, I believe the same spirit pervades the present faculty.

How many local trailers can I add for a film?
Trailers can only be searched and stored for AMC XML databases. However, you can link to the Online Videos plugin to play IMDb, YouTube or Apple Trailers. Local trailers are not often exported by other catalog types and thus not imported to MyFilms. If your catalog type supports trailers, and exports the trailer file name(s) to XML, you may request support for it. See Support under Feature Requests.
For AMC catalog types, you can store as many trailers as you like, even those you download from within My Films in MediaPortal. See the Trailer Setup guide for details.
As of v 6.1.0 you can even download multiple trailers from within MyFilms! See Trailers.

For the next two days, artist Shepard Fairey and crew are turning a blank wall at Baller Hardware on Tracy and Hyperion into a mural, a (hopefully) permanent piece of statement art reading
Fairey is friends with Baller's owners and buys supplies there which is how the mural came about. (Baller is awesome, a true Silver Lake treaure, on the east side of Tracy there's a hardware store and on the west side a super groovy art supply shop). Fairey and a two man crew were applying large printed paper stencils and carefully cutting them out before spraying on white, metallic gold, and black over the bright red wall. Across the street a French-speaking camera crew watched from a respectful distance, but I got right up under the artists and started snapping away (and this is why I wear lipstick, seriously!). First question: Is this gonna be graffiti proof (Fairey's studio in Echo Park has a spray paint resistant coating).
One of the crew answered:
Yes, it will be coated.
Emboldened, I asked Shepard himself how long the project would take. He replied it should take about two days, but because the wall is bumpy, the stencils are catching the wind, making it more challenging. So then I went for it, asking if an increase in public art could be the end of street art. By now the camera crew had moved in.
Shepard said that illegal street art–and he's been arrested sixteen times for his non-sanctioned work–opens the door for artists and projects like the one he's doing (And he's right, the door is wide open: MOCA's Street Art show, street art auctions at major galleries, and ad agencies that use street artists to create and execute murals. Oh and Retna has designed a scarf for Louis Vuitton!).
But adds Fairey, not all illegal street art is good art, and public art can get mired down in bureaucracy over what's acceptable and politically correct.
(Heck, even Fairey's pro-art, anti war statement is catching flak in the local Echo Park Patch blog where one commenter wrote:
If Fairey were truly antiwar, though, he wouldn't have supported someone like Obama, who has been expanding war and civilian-killing drone strikes into multiple lands.
My feelings towards that commenter: Dude, seriously, lighten up or go live in a forest and eat only what falls from trees).
On a side note, Fairey's technique of using stencils–minus the spray cans–dates back to the Renaissance. He'll be there tomorrow finishing it up. Drop by and give it a look!
(Thanks to Jane of Dick& Jane's Family Orchestra for the tip!)

According to Sony Europe chief David Reeves, we'll probably get some downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV.
Here's the exchange with videogamer.com:
VideoGamer.com: I wanted to ask you about Microsoft and the DLC secured for GTA 4. Is it damaging to Sony and PlayStation that there is no DLC for GTA 4 on PS3?
DR: Well I think you probably will see it, it's just that a deal obviously was struck between Microsoft and Take 2 to do that. And if that's what they want to do, I think that's the last shot they have.
The "last shot," eh? Was Reeves suggesting that the 360 is on its deathbed?
DR: No I don't think it's a sinking ship. I think they have contributed amazingly to the growth of the industry. And I think we have done exactly the same. We don't criticize the competition because we are all in this industry and the only way you can do it is to actually bring more consumers in. So I'm not going to criticize them. All I'm saying is that I think that when we look ahead I think we honestly have a better line-up on PlayStation 3 than they probably do on Xbox. They've had two or three Christmases now, I can't remember how many, but I think we've got a really good one coming up. Not just Christmas but in the summer as well.

Hi, just wanted to give this a friendly bump because I feel like its a rather simple answer that I'm missing.
For example, is it possible that the answer is unaffected by the complex eigenvectors?
Therefore, y = +
Does that look correct?
Hey guys,
First time poster here, love the site so far though. Thanks in advance for any help received. I'm really lost!
I'm doing a very simple system of differential equations problem here and I've run into a situation I don't know how to handle.
The differential equation is:
x' = x
Now, I have the eigenvalues as 0 and 2. Two distinct real eigenvalues, should be easy, right!?
But my eigenvectors are complex... Namely:
(Complex conjugates as expected with complex eigenvectors)
So how do I handle that? I don't know how to get a solution with real eigenvalues and complex eigenvectors... Help please!

The latest from Pat Metheny, Trio 99-00, smokes through a few great post-bop jazz tunes, before hitting the wall that is repetition and typicality. Then it comes charging back with even more killer stuff, only to falter again towards the end. This is a problem, for as we all know, an album that can't make up its mind is a terrible thing to listen to.
Pat Metheny—as we all may or may not know—has played on wax with the likes of Bruce Hornsby and Bela Fleck—on Hornsby's Hot House—and on tour with Herbie Hancock.
Pat Metheny
Trio 99-00
(Warner Bros.)
His guitar playing is good throughout, but is not without its bows to the conventional. Metheny tries to rack up some cool points with the jazz sensation that is octave sliding, but at times, he just sounds stale and flat. The drumming is straight out of the be-bop era, with loud crashes on the snare and distant sounding symbols. However, this effort to sound authentic sometimes seems to muck up the general sound of the recording.
There are a few tracks of treats, including the closing "Travels," performed with Metheny on acoustic and the band kicking back for a little simple sound, but on the whole, the album does nothing to distinguish itself from so much of the filler put out by the recording industry of today.
This album shows off the maturity that comes with years of being on the spot, but its lack of excitement failed to hold my attention for any extended period of time. This is the mark of another middle-of-the-road jazz guitar album, and despite the reputation of Mr. Metheny, I can't quite recommend it.

For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.

12 For the protection of wisdom is like uthe protection of money,
and the advantage of knowledge is that vwisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them. 18 It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and anot only when I am present with you, 19 bmy little children, cfor whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ dis formed in you! 20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 gAnd Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, ha Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, i"Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon." 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, j"Send her away, for she is crying out after us." 24 He answered, k"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 25 But she came and lknelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me." 26 And he answered, "It is not right to take the children's bread and mthrow it to the dogs." 27 She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat nthe crumbs that fall from their masters' table." 28 Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, ogreat is your faith! pBe it done for you as you desire." qAnd her daughter was phealed instantly.1

Customers' attitude toward Islamic banking in Pakistan
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the different motivational factors that lead to customers' Islamic bank selection decision in Pakistan. In particular, it aims to look into the importance of Shari'a compliance for Islamic banks' customers and thereby the potential risk of deposits withdrawal in case of violations of Shari'a principles. Design/methodology/approach – The paper presents descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation analysis based on data collected from 357 customers. Findings – The findings reveal that Islamic banks' customers highly value Shari'a compliance in their banks and that non-compliance with Shari'a principles leads to disgruntled customers. An interesting pronouncement is that if an Islamic bank is involved in repeated violations of Shari'a, the customers are inclined to switch their banks. Nonetheless, the findings reveal that Shari'a compliance is not the only satisfaction yardstick for Islamic banks' customers; they also expect their banks to be convenient, technologically advanced and provide security of their capital. Practical implications – The paper has profound implications for Islamic financial institutions operating in Pakistan. Although Shari'a compliance is the most important factor that Islamic banks need to observe, they also need to be competitive with conventional banks. Originality/value – The paper is a unique contribution to Islamic banks' selection criteria where the importance of Shari'a compliance and conventional bank patronage factors has been explored. The paper's has practical implications for Islamic banks' owners and regulators.

by Maddie Grant of SocialFishing… and Diary Of A Reluctant Blogger. Follow her @maddiegrant.
Twitter can be a great space for building community around your membership-based organization, whether you work for a professional society, trade association or a cause-related nonprofit.
Here's a quick eight-step rundown of how to set up a Twitter account for your ".org". This isn't the only way, of course. But if you are starting from scratch, this is what we're finding works the best.
1. Set up a main "umbrella" account for the organization – e.g. @ORGtweets or just @ORG ("ORG" being whatever your acronym is).
Why? So people can find you easily. In the description, put in a nutshell what the organization does. A mission statement in under 140 characters, for example. (Be pithy – people like that. There are lots of other places you can be boring). For the website link field of the profile, create a Twitter landing page on your website which says, "Welcome to the Twitter page for [ORG]! We're glad you're here. Here's what we're all about. Here are some of the things we tweet about. And here are our team members, should you be interested in following them too." Then list your staff on Twitter as per #2.
2. Give your staff their own individual accounts – e.g. ORG_Bob, Maggie@ORG, etc. If you have several staffers already on Twitter with their own followers, allow them to use their accounts for tweeting on your behalf, assuming they are willing to do that.
Why? because people want to see individual people representing their organizations. There can be backlash when that doesn't happen. Presumably each staffer will have their own personality, their own things they like to tweet about personally and professionally, and they will also have their own content that they are responsible for – namely PR, or marketing, or advocacy, or publications, or events. Each person will grow their own followers independently – and can share them under the umbrella account as they go along (see #5.)
3. Use a multiple Twitter account client to manage your accounts.
Why? Because it's MUCH easier than signing in and out of accounts all day. SplitTweet works great, as do HootSuite and CoTweet (currently in private beta). All these services allow you to monitor multiple accounts at the same time – so your team can choose to tweet something to their individual accounts and the umbrella account, or just to one at a time. SplitTweet has a cool "track your brand mentions" feature; CoTweet allows you to tag your replies as being from a particular person, and allows you to assign responses to team members. HootSuite has great analytics and intelligent search for Twitter conversations. All three are always improving and evolving as professional Twitter use grows, and there may be a new multiple account application on the scene by the time this post appears, so just find the one that has the functionality you need.
4. Ask each staffer to follow people who tweet regularly about your industry or cause, as well as actively Tweeting members, donors, or other stakeholders.
Why? Because Twitter is about conversation – and directed conversation can build community. Find those other interested Tweeps simply by using Twitter search for your particular industry keywords, your organization name mentions, even competitor or sister organization mentions. Twitter directories like Twellow , We Follow , and Twibs allow you to find people based on tags or types of business. Each staffer should find their own relevant people to follow, based on their particular interests or area of expertise. If you have members, or an email list of any kind, use Twitter's own import function to import emails and find those members already on Twitter (only do a few at a time). Look for names you recognize, or clearly active Tweeters (you can tell by the number of updates, friends and followers they have). You only need to find a few key active stakeholders – others will come with them when they start to interact with you. Ask those you have a good "real life" relationship with to help you spread the word about your new presence on Twitter.
5. Under the umbrella account, periodically retweet items from your team members as well as from their followers/friends.
Why? To show a coherent stream of content where visitors can immediately see what you're about and that different people speak for you in different ways. If managed well, you can follow relevant public conversations between team members under the umbrella too – conversations that might draw people in to whatever topic you are discussing. Retweeting good stuff by people who are part of your network gives them an ego boost and shows them that it's not all about you, that you're paying attention to what they are talking about, that you're interested in learning from them too.
6. Got an annual conference or big fundraising event? Use hashtags to enable your registrants and anyone else to find you through your event promotion.
Why? Because the buzz leading up to and during face-to-face events can bring your organization into focus and can attract new people to your cause. Tweet lots of good stuff about how cool your event will be and use and promote a specific designated hashtag for it. Remember to publicize the hashtag in your other promotional materials too. We're often asked about whether it's a good idea to set up a separate Twitter account (as opposed to a hashtag) for a conference – this can work too, but a hashtag is more easily found in search, will trend if you have lots of people Tweeting the event, and allows you to differentiate between annual conferences from year to year – e.g. #Tech09 versus #Tech10. Also, the staff members who have built a following on Twitter will stay visible and won't be hidden under a conference account. They will each be enabled to add their own personal takes on the conference, by talking about the particular sessions they are attending and the things they care about from their individual (professional) viewpoints.If you set up a new account for each conference, you are basically starting from zero friends and followers each time – and it takes time to build those networks.
7. Bottom line: Share great content.
Why? Because great content sparks word of mouth, and word of mouth (you guessed it!) builds community. Ask each staffer to take responsibility for sharing links with interesting and useful information relevant to their specific areas of expertise. Encourage them to engage in conversation with their Twitter networks, respond to things other people are tweeting about, retweet links and tweets from people outside your organization as well as your own; don't be afraid to actually converse about topics of interest. Find champions within your networks to help you spread the word about specific issues. Use your umbrella account to corral it all in a place where people can find it easily. Community builds around shared interests, but only if you nurture it and feed it, which means listening as well as talking.
8. Bonus: Benchmark and measure!
Why? So you can see how it's all going and know when it might be necessary to put in a bit more effort or move up to the next level of awesomeness. Benchmark and measure your progress using whatever metrics make the most sense to you. Number of followers, organization links retweeted, new registrants to your events, etc. There are lots of specific Twitter analytics apps out there, but measure engagement in other ways too. Building community online is all about building community offline.
That should be enough to get you started! Here are a couple places to find examples of associations and nonprofits on Twitter, as well as three related posts from Twitip that dig a bit deeper into Tweeting for organizational use. Tweet on!

Timeline (RDM)
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
By convention, all dates are relative to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Events before the Fall are marked as "BCH", or "Before Cylon holocaust". Given the few and somewhat contradictory dates about the Colonials' ancient history and the exodus from Kobol, that part of the timeline is speculative.
The Cylon holocaust occurs more than 150,000 years ago.

Recent Colonial History
The most recent history could also be dated using the calendar from Caprica, but the method was not used in the re-imagined series and remained in the background even on the new show. Furthermore, it is not known whether the calendar is specific to the planet Caprica or common to the twelve worlds.

Hello Clumpers! This is Tamar and I would like to welcome to another But Black Women Can't post. The purpose of this series to dispel the many myths and stereotypes that have haunted Black women for centuries. Colors we can't wear, products we shouldn't touch….it's getting old. It's time we start reclaiming our identities and defining our own beauties. Who's with me?!! Email your suggestions or ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com. I would love to try out any theory you may have.
All my life I have been surrounded by beautiful women of color. I was always taught that "Black don't crack" meaning that we can't get wrinkles and in our case that includes breakouts. The only product I saw my Grandma use on her face was Noxzema and her skin never showed any signs of aging. I can look into my Mom's bathroom and find that same blue container.
She follows the same rules. But me? I decided to go a different route. I believe that every woman has beautiful skin. I also know that we HAVE to take care of it! I'm the type of woman that rarely gets any type of breakout. I don't know if it's because of genetics or because of the mountain of products I've tried over the years. I've used just about everything from Clean and Clear to witch hazel to alcohol to Proactive and guess where I ended up? Right back to Noxzema! I will be 28 this month and I'm positive that when I'm my Mom's age (I'm not tellin' how old, I'm scared) my skin will be just as beautiful as hers. See my Mom!
What steps are you taking to prevent premature aging? Is there a product that you saw your Mom use when you were young that you find yourself using now?

What is in this article?:
- Arizona Veg IPM: whiteflies on melons, lettuce pathogens, herbicides
- Soil-borne lettuce pathogens
- Dinitroanaline herbicides
- Whitefly numbers on fall melons are very high in Arizona's Yuma Valley due largely to the crop landscape where melon fields are near or adjacent to cotton and alfalfa.
- The Arizona winter lettuce season includes the threat of diseases caused by soil-borne fungal pathogens.
- Dinitroanaline herbicides kill weeds pre-emergence by inhibiting cell division and elongation at the growing points of seedling roots.
More About:
The latest Arizona Vegetable Integrated Pest Management Update from the University of Arizona (UA) Cooperative Extension in Yuma, Ariz., released Sept. 7, 2011.
Whitefly management on fall vegetables and melons
By John Palumbo, UA Research Scientist and Extension Specialist
Whitefly numbers on fall melons have been very high in the Yuma Valley, and extremely high (>100/leaf) in some areas of the Dome Valley, Wellton, and further east. This high whitefly abundance is attributed largely to the crop landscape where melon fields are near or adjacent to cotton and alfalfa.
During the week of Aug. 29, high numbers (clouds) of whitefly adults were seen in Dome Valley reminiscent to the early 1990s.
Since whiteflies were quite damaging last fall in produce and melon crops, pest control advisers would be wise to pay particular attention to early whitefly control and discuss control strategies with growers.
Remember, the key to effective whitefly management in fall crops is to prevent adult and immature populations from colonizing small plants.
Prolonged feeding by adults on melons can rapidly spread virus throughout the field. On seedling lettuce plants, prolonged adult feeding can result in stunted growth.
Allowing adults to remain on plants unchecked generally results in the development of large nymph populations which can cause significant growth/yield reductions in all produce and melon crops.
With the high numbers this year, it is strongly recommended that growers apply a soil neonicotinoid on lettuce and cole crops in September and early October.
Local research has shown that imidacloprid (e.g., Alias-16 oz, or Admire Pro- 7 oz ; [0.25 lbs AI/ac]) applied at planting provides less residual control of nymphs today than it did 10 years ago. Although the insecticide still provides short-term control (21-28 days), growers should consider using higher rates of imidacloprid (e.g., Alias-24 oz, or Admire Pro- 10.4 oz [0.375 lb AI/ac]) to extend residual control.
Once plants get larger, products including Movento, Venom, Scorpion, Assail, Knack, and Courier can provide effective control of nymphs.
For adult control, combinations of bifenthrin (e.g. Brigade, Sniper, Discipline, etc.) or Danitol tank-mixed with Thionex will provide the best residual control.
Other options that can be tank-mixed with pyrethroids for knockdown control include Vydate, Orthene, Lannate, Lorsban, Dibrom, Venom, Scorpion, and Assail.

There are many different muscles that contribute to the velocity and power of your Tennis Serve. And not only does each muscle deserve specific attention, but as a whole the muscles should be trained in a way that together they produce power that begins in your toes and is transferred up your body and out to the ball.

There are many different muscles that contribute to the velocity and power of your Tennis Serve. And not only does each muscle deserve specific attention, but as a whole the muscles should be trained in a way that together they produce power that begins in your toes and is transferred up your body and out to the ball.

 Below is an image that displays specific pivot points during your serving motion and is labeled as each of the main muscle groups are activated in Sequence.

As you can see there are 7 Major Muscle groups that must be activated to generate power for your serve:

 1. Calves – Activated in the loading phase to explosively contract to generate power to your quads and hamstrings

2. Quads – Work with the hamstrings to generate and transfer power & explosiveness through to your core

3. Hamstrings – Work with the hamstrings to generate and transfer power & explosiveness through to your core

4. Abs – The abs are activated and produce stability throughout the entire motion while momentum is transferred from the ground through your racquet head. In the later stage of the service motion, the abs contract viciously & operate as a leverage point to help generate more racquet head speed.

5. Lats – This is often an overlooked muscle group when it comes to training for tennis. Check out any pro player that has a big serve, and their lats will stand out big time. This is the back muscle that sticks out behind your rib cage. The lats are activated in figure 3 and continue to explosively contract through the end point of the service motion. This is the muscle responsible for the beginning of the arm motion all the way through the follow through motion.

6. Triceps – The triceps aid in the whipping motion of your arm, not only do the triceps have a large role in racquet head speed, but the explosiveness of this muscle plays a major role in how much spin you can generate for topspin & kick serves. The more explosive your triceps, the more spin you can put on the ball.

7. Shoulders – The Shoulders are responsible for maintaining stability in the joints & aiding in generating forward moving force in your upper arm.
 How to Train Your Serving Muscles

 Naturally, one of the first things folks do when they want a big serve is they go out to the courts and practice more. This is not a bad approach, but it can and will only get you so far. In most cases, we must look for ways off the courts to improve not only our game, but also shot development. And one of these being training the muscles responsible for what we want to improve. In this case – we want to train the muscles responsible for our serving motion.

 There are 2 ways to train your body for a more powerful serve (this applies to not only the serve, but all tennis strokes).

 1. Universal Tennis Focus – Using training methodologies & program design that train each muscle group in tandem in a way that helps them work together for a specific end goal. The training program would be set up to encompass all muscle groups required for the serve & each muscle group would get the same amount of focus as the next.

 This method is great, but what happens if we have a "weak link" in the serving chain? Using this method prematurely will improve your serve, but it would be better utilized if any weaknesses along the line are focused on FIRST to bring them up to speed so that we have better overall functioning.

 2. Specific Foundational Tennis Focus – As you saw in the Tennis Serve Pivot Diagram, different muscle groups at specific points in the serving motion are activated to aid in generating power & explosion for our serves. And each pivot point is linked together like chinks in a chain. For most of us some chinks in this chain are stronger than others. This is where we either identify the "weak link" or decide to make an already strong link Stronger with muscular stroke specific training.

 For example, we are discussing 7 main muscles:

Calves

Quads

Hamstrings

Shoulders

Abs

Lats

Triceps

Now, in this case, let's say that we have advanced development in our legs, abs, and lats, but our triceps are our weak link. We would then break down each muscle group and focus our attention mainly on the "weak" components of our stroke while still giving attention to the other muscles - in this example, we'd focus mainly on exercises that target our triceps.

 Often times it's not that difficult to figure out what your weak link is. Heck, maybe you don't really have a weak link, but strengthening one or more of the phases of your stroke would create a more blistering serve.

 Either way, figuring out the weak link (if you have one) isn't difficult. Most of the time, you can identify it during match play (if you haven't already). Are your abs giving out? Do you find yourself not squeezing your abdominals during your serve as the match progresses? If so, this could be due to lack of abdominal strength endurance.

 Do you find yourself not properly bending your legs during your serve towards the end of the match? Well, in this case your legs may be your weak link.

 What about your triceps? This one is fairly easy to figure out especially if you have a topspin or kick serve, because generally you'll notice as the match goes on that it takes a little more effort than normal to generate the amount of spin you want.

 Whatever the weak link is, you can figure it out fairly quickly by playing a couple matches, because it will stick out like a sore thumb if you pay attention.

What If We Don't Necessarily Feel We Have a Weak Link?

 There is always some aspect of our physical fitness that we can improve upon. Now, if you don't feel like you necessarily have a weak link, that's good news. And if you don't feel you have a weak link, but your serves aren't exactly as powerful as you think they can be, focus on the aspects of the serve that can generate the most power or the aspects of the serve that you feel will give you an extra edge. If you feel like you need more spin, but your legs are strong, then focus on your abs, triceps, shoulders and/or lats. If you feel like you want to generate more power, then the focus point should be directed toward your legs, since this is where power and explosion is generated.

Training to Generate More Power & Spin

The Following Workout is Designed for you to use to develop strength to generate more power and more spin by focusing on the 2 main transfer points: Legs & Triceps.

Regardless as to whether these 2 pivot points are a weak link for you or not, by focusing on these 2 muscles in the proper way, you will generate more power off your serve, because these 2 points are critical for generating and delivering a bone crushing serve – legs because they are where the power & explosion originates & triceps because they are the last muscle in the chain to transfer this momentum directly to the ball.

Since the Workouts are a bit too much to type here, I've loaded them up in a PDF document for you to download (free), that way you can download them and save them to your computer for you to use any time.

New Beginnings
Peak Records
Instrumental covers of disco hits are de facto today. But when veteran saxophonist Gerald Albright returned to 1980 to recapture the magic of the Whispers' "And the Beat Goes On," he traveled straight to the source: twin brothers Walter and Scotty Scott, whose vocal interplay defined the megahit. Remarkably, the duo's interplay remains intact after all these years, clear and funky, and Albright's throaty alto chugs to the groove. That said, this particular track seems suspiciously like a record-label request as the rest of Albright's 10th solo CD is much purer and closer to his jazzy-R&B heart than previous efforts.
That may be a result of Albright's departure from GRP after two CDs and "new beginning" with Peak, a label cofounded by Russ Freeman of the Rippingtons. Throw in Albright's recent relocation to Colorado after many years in Southern California, and New Beginnings indeed sounds like a rejuvenation. Albright is on the smooth-jazz team, but he possesses gutsier, bluesier chops than many of his contemporaries. "Deep Into My Soul," for example, launches as a nice little number with requisite must-have hook, but by its conclusion the saxophonist's gone balls-out with his riffs.
Albright's fans will enjoy the blues of "Georgia on My Mind," a staple of his live shows. Hot trumpeter Chris Botti adds a solo to "Big Shoes," while elsewhere Albright gathers contributions from Groovin' for Grover tourmate Jeff Lorber, high-school classmate Patrice Rushen, gospel vocalist Luther Hanes and R&B vocalist Chuckii Booker. This is good, melodic music with some bite.

A 25-year-old man was shot and killed in Snyder early Tuesday morning.
Nearly 12 hours after it happened, Police continue to investigate the homicide in the 200 block of 36th St, just blocks away from the law enforcement center.
While police are not releasing any more details at this point, neighbors are coming up with their own theories.
"I thought to myself a long time ago, something ain't right about that house and there wasn't something right about that house," said a neighbor who wanted to remain unidentified on Tuesday morning.
John Farquhar has lived across the street from the home surrounded by crime-scene tape for 57 years and said the young couple with small three children moved into in just the past year.
"I just hate that it happened, the three kids is what bothers me," Farquhar said. "The couple fought all the time, they were out there fighting all hours of the day and night.
Police said a 25-year-old man was shot and killed, but have yet not said who pulled the trigger.
"If you want the honest truth, I think it's a drug deal gone bad," Farquhar said.
The neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous also shared those sentiments.
"You sit out here, you see stuff, people going in and out, and quite naturally, if you've got a head on your shoulders, you know something's going on."
Snyder Police have not released the names of the victim or potential shooters as of Wednesday evening.

The Underworld is the mysterious virtual world in which the Alicization Arc takes place. The Human World is where the Humans live in the Underworld, it's a perfect circle with a diameter that measures arround 1500 kilometers.
It's divided into four empires: Norlangarth North Empire, Eastabarieth Empire, Wesdarath Empire, and Southacroith Empire.Iit's capital is Centoria, from where it's ruled by the Axiom Church and the four empires.
In the Alicization Arc, Kirito has been assisting in the development of the fourth generation full dive interface, Soul Translator, by testing its thought acceleration functions. However, he has no memory of what he has been doing as a result of his memories being suppressed, voluntarily, by the system. He is attacked and poisoned by Johnny Black (The third culprit who escapes) in the real world and wakes up in Underworld with no memory of the game or how he got there. He meets up with Eugeo and helps him out of some tough situations, during which he partially remembers his time with Eugeo and Alice during his "childhood" in Underworld. He then decides to aid Eugeo in finding Alice while he searches for a way out, back to reality.

How Did I Miss That? Sanctions Smack Miley; Cajun Duck Sauciness
The Times Picayune reported that "family values" congressman Vance McAllister was caught on video kissing a married staffer. I didn't think that was a big deal until the video showed a "get a room!" kind of kiss.
McAllister said "there's no doubt I've fallen short…" confirming that he has joined Louisiana Sen. David Vitter in advocating family values only for other people. "Look at the bright side for his supporters," my Cousin Ray Sixkiller reminded me, "the other party was female." She's also out of a job, having "resigned," and McAllister has called for an FBI investigation into who leaked the video.
Rep. McAllister's first major accomplishment in office was to invite Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson to the State of the Union Address. His second was on April 9, when he saved the taxpayers money by withdrawing his demand for an FBI investigation.

Now that I no longer work for Suite 101 and they've taken down my articles, I've been giving my Facebook Author Page a lot of thought lately. With the range that page covers so large -- low-carb, PSMF, gluten-free, gluten-free dairy-free, moderate carb, freelance writing, autism, plus my miscellaneous articles at Info Barrel -- I've found it difficult to target the needs of each of those groups with a single page. Plus, when people post to that page, I have no idea which group they belong to.
Hence, I've been neglecting it completely.
So to remedy the situation, I created a Kickin' Carb Clutter Facebook Page this morning where I can post items of interest to those specifically on a low-carb diet. If you have a minute, please drop by and "Like" my new FB page, so you'll start getting my low-carb updates, links, pictures, and other items. Thanks so much for your support.

HSBC in the Spotlight, Where It Doesn't Want To Be Featured
- font size decrease font size increase font size
British banking conglomerate HSBC in the news today... HSBC Profit Dips, Keeps $2 Billion for US, UK Problems
HSBC set aside $2 billion to cover U.S. law enforcement and regulatory costs and to compensate British customers for mis-selling as it reported a 3 percent dip in underlying profit.
A U.S. Senate report this month criticized HSBC for letting clients shift funds from dangerous and secretive countries, and HSBC said on Monday it was setting aside $700 million to cover "certain law enforcement and regulatory matters".
Analysts have said the issue could result in a fine of about $1 billion.
The Senate report criticized a "pervasively polluted" culture at the bank and said, between 2007 and 2008, HSBC's Mexican operations moved $7 billion into the bank's U.S. operations.
HSBC's US and Asian operartions were clearly a problem for it back in 2008 as we clearly illustrated.
Disclosure of HSBC's structured credit exposure warrants caution
HSBC provided disclosure on exposure toward problem asset classes in its 1H 08 results. The carrying value of exposure to ABS, trading loans held for securitization and leverage finance declined to US$117 billion on June 30, 2008, from US$135 billion on December 31, 2007. Approximately US$25 billion of the structured credit exposure is toward ALT-A/subprime assets, which account for 22% of the exposure. The bank's Available for Sale (AFS) reserve on asset-backed securities increased to US$6.1 billion in 1H 08 from US$2.2 billion in 2H 07.
HSBC has incurred impairment losses totaling US$55 million; this represents a meager 0.85% of total AFS reserve. We expect losses to rise significantly if market conditions and asset values deteriorate. We believe the bank will be required to make higher impairment charges related to AFS reserve on ABS in future.
Will 2012-2013 see a repeat? Subscribers should be well versed in my opinion.

Happy Birthday, Lucien!
You know you're a writer when...the day dawns and you think, "Oh, it's [Character Name Here]'s birthday!"
In that vein, today I'm wishing my first fictional hero, Lucien Demarco, a happy, happy birthday. Lucien is the hero of Forever Freed, my paranormal romance to be released in 2011 from The Wild Rose Press. He was born on a farm outside of Modena, Italy, on November 2, 1868, then turned into a vampire on May 13, 1895, in New York City. That would mean, today, this 27-year-old-looking vampire would be turning 142 years old. :)
So, happy birthday, Lucien. Know I think of you often. You'll always be my first ;)!
Thanks for reading,

Haha, yes, I do that, too. It's Jasper's (from Marked) birthday on the 4th, so 2 days after your Lucien's).
Happy Birthday, Lucien! ;-)

Happy B'day to Lucien! You put a lot of thought into that day. It's fitting too, since he's a vampire. The name reminds me of Lucifer. Hope Lucien is nothing like the devil.

By the time August comes along, the Es openings on the VHF bands are generally dying down a bit. Certainly, I've been checking 50MHz less frequently from the car and I've even been thinking about what band I'm going to use the IC706/mobile for over the winter (more on that soon!).
However, chatting to Ken, G3LVP this morning about 70MHz, he told me that yesterday there had been an opening to Portugal on 70MHz. Ken had worked CT1FJC from the Algarve.
So, keep checking those bands!

Here's my impression of the production Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo. From the concept, I've added production headlight, side mirrors, door handles, new wheels, bonnet (lines) and fog light (strips). And added a red hue.

I really like it. But I'm not a big fan of the red.

i like the production headlights. looks more like a porsche. i didnt realize the concept car dont have side mirrors until i compared your render with the concept car. i dont like the red so much. other than that, awesome render 🙂

Bria Skonberg
Apr 11 - May 24, 2013
Trumpeter/Singer Bria Skonberg will celebrate the joyous companionship of pairs like Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday's cool vocals accented by the sizzling trumpet of Charlie Shavers, the sassy duo of Anita O'day and Roy Eldridge, and the incredibly entertaining Louis Prima and Keely Smith in a three weekend engagement at Cafe Carlyle, 35 East 76th Street. Dates are April 11/12, April 25/26 and May 23/24. Showtime is 10:45pm. Cover charge is $25 on Thursdays, $30 on Fridays and the minimum is $25.
Call: 212.744.1600 for reservations.
Joining her are: Dalton Ridenhour at the piano; Darrian Douglas on drums, and Sean Cronin on Upright Bass & vocals.
"Bria Skonberg looks like a Scandinavian angel (or Thor's girlfriend), plays trumpet like a red hot devil, and sings like a dream. Her new album, "So Is the Day" reveals that she's also a very capable bandleader and composer."
•Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal
The young musician's debut American release, SO IS THE DAY, peaked at #7 on the US National jazz charts and features an all- star ensemble including John Pizzarelli, Victor Goines and Wycliffe Gordon.
