Dr. James Hassell, Pastor
Pastor James was called to pastor FBC San Angelo in August 2013. He has pastored churches in both the Panhandle of Texas (FBC Tulia) and in Fort Worth. A native West Texan, he was born and raised in Amarillo and graduated from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene with both undergraduate and graduate degrees. In 2012, Pastor James earned his Doctor in Ministry degree from Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor in Waco, and that same year he published a book on church growth and reconciliation called Seeing New Light. Dr. Hassell and his young family love San Angelo and her people. In fact, he was named by the San Angelo Standard-Times as one of the top "20 Under 40" leaders in the city in 2014. Pastor James also serves on boards for the T.B. Maston Foundation and for the Hardin-Simmons University Board of Trustees. James has been married to Shannon since 2002, and they have two children.
Bill Gillum, Minister of Music
Bill brings over 40 years of ministry experience to FBC! He is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Baylor University and has a contagiously encouraging spirit to go along with his fine leadership background. He has led worship in churches throughout the state, including Corsicana, Katy, Spring, and Lubbock. Bill and his wonderful wife, Elaine, have been married since 1975 and have three children.
Here is a statement from Bill's personal ministry statement which tells you a bit about his heart for ministry:
"My gifts are relational. I am primarily an encourager. My years in ministry have sharpened my leadership and administrative abilities. I am comfortable in many areas of church ministry and am glad to help in any and all areas of the church. I love people and always desire to help them set and achieve goals. The highest goal is always to draw closer to God and in the end to look more and more like Him."

Innovative developments in e-Learning and e-Assessment
In April, we secured £1.7 million from the European Social Fund (ESF) to enhance the delivery of National Certificates, National Progression Awards (NPA), Skills for Work, and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses over the next two years.
This followed an announcement by the Scottish Government of a further investment of £95 million in 129 projects across Scotland to develop the national workforce, create and safeguard jobs, and regenerate communities.
We will receive the funding through three projects, which run until May 2011. The projects will focus on the development of innovative e-learning and e-assessment materials for new pre-vocational and professional qualifications, enhancing access for all learners.
Dr Gill Stewart, Director of Qualifications Development said 'It's great news that SQA was able to secure this ESF funding. It will ensure that we are able to provide enhanced support to learners and deliverers of our qualifications for at least the next two years.'
Martyn Ware, Head of e-Assessment and Learning, added 'This new funding reflects the success of SQA's ESF funded work to date. It gives us a great opportunity to help bring about a step change in the way we and centres work with e-Assessment.'

Grace and Peace to you from Jesus Christ, who was and is and is to come.
What is the Hope Circle?
Be a Person of Peace
The Hope Circle is a commitment to be a person of peace, using your relationships to bring one other person into a relationship with Jesus.
We encourage you to love others, not judge them, while bringing peace into their lives today, so they can have hope in the future.
[contact-form-7 id="4156″ title="Contact form 1″]
Luke 10:1-2, 5-7 The Lord recruited and deployed 70 more disciples. He sent them ahead, …to visit all the towns and settlements say, "Peace on this house!" If a child of peace… one who welcomes God's message of peace is there, your peace will rest on him… stay where you are welcome."
Two-thousand years ago Jesus sent the 70 out to go from village to village seeking out persons of peace to help prepare the way for Him. In the same way, we today in the 21st century, are searching the global internet for persons of peace to help prepare the way for others to hear about Jesus.
Step 1. Make a list of family members, friends and acquaintances who are non-religious.
Step 2. Pray for them without being anxious presenting your request to God with thanksgiving. (Philippians 4:6)
Step 3. Ask God to lay one person on your heart knowing whatever you ask for in prayer, believe it and you will receive it. (Mark 11:24)
Step 4. Pray for that person, listen to their story and earn the privilege to share your story and who Jesus is and why you believe. (I Peter 3:15)
Step 5. Through your relationship, talk about Jesus. Use the internet and social media resources available through God of Hope. (Romans 10:14-15)
Step 6. Allow the power of God's Holy Spirit, working through the community of believers, to soften their heart and open their mind so that they might believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths, that God has revealed Himself to us through Jesus, the Messiah, and be reconciled with God, find peace and (have) hope. (Romans 10:9-10)
Step 7. Return to Step 1.

But the bomb killed at least three of their Kurdish bodyguards and injured 19 people, several of them seriously, United Nations and French sources said. Siamond Banaa, a Kurdish spokesman in London, said: 'Our experts are sure the bomb came from the Iraqi government because it was remote-controlled and because of the type of explosives used.'
The device was hidden in a Toyota Land-Cruiser that erupted in a 60ft fireball. Reports said the vehicle bore the markings of the UN or a private relief agency and was either part of the convoy or was parked near a roadblock close to Sulaymaniyah, 170 miles north of Baghdad.
The sources said Mrs Mitterrand continued with her day's programme, a visit to Halabja, the scene of an Iraqi chemical bombing raid in 1988 that killed 5,000 people and helped kindle her support for the Kurds. Kurdish officials and foreign diplomats were in little doubt that the prime suspect for the attack on the group was the Iraqi government of President Saddam Hussein.
Mrs Mitterrand's 'deep contacts' with Kurdish 'dissident gangs' constituted 'foolish behaviour and a rude violation of Iraq's dignity and sovereignty', said the Iraqi newspaper Al- Qadissiyeh in an article that appeared before the bombing.
There has been a number of attacks, almost certainly by Iraqi agents, within the three Kurdish provinces over the last six months. Earlier this year a car bomb, similar to that which blew up yesterday, exploded close to the Salaam hotel in Sulaymaniyah, killing several passers-by.
The aim of Iraqi security is to show that Kurdish opposition leaders do not have complete control of Kurdistan and that Iraqis can penetrate the Kurdish- controlled areas. There is heavy security by Kurdish guerrillas on the roads from Kirkuk and Iraqi-government controlled zones, but soldiers manning the road blocks can often be bribed.
In theory, Mrs Mitterrand was on a private three-day trip on behalf of her charity France-Libertes. In the event she travelled in a small French government jet to the Turkish city of Diyarbakir and then on by helicopters from the allied 'Provide Comfort' force that still protects the Kurds of northern Iraq.
Mr Kouchner became the most senior foreign government official ever to visit the Kurdish zone, although he said he was there only to study medical assistance, rehousing and education.
France insists that it is opposed to an independent Kurdish state. But Mrs Mitterrand has backed to the hilt the Kurds' drive for self-rule and is much loved by them in return. A standing ovation greeted her speech on Sunday to the Iraqi Kurdish parliament in Arbil a few hours after the Iraqi Kurds announced the shape of their coalition cabinet following the 19 May elections.
The cabinet will consist of eight ministers each from the Kurdistan Democratic Party and eight from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) with one Assyrian Christian. The Prime Minister is Fuad Masoum, a PUK leader.
'We are neither independent nor autonomous,' Mr Masoum was quoted as saying yesterday by the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet. 'We are somewhere in between. Only time will show where we are going.'

- Age: 23

- Favorite Bodypart: Shoulders
- Favorite Exercise: Bent-Over Rows
- Favorite Supplements: CLA, Lipo-6, BCAA'S, Cell Tech, Leukic, Whey Protein, Nutrex Niox, Glutamine, and N30.
How Did You Get Started?
I started lifting weights at the age of 19, in my first years as a member of the Air Force at Yokota Air Base, Japan. I was introduced to bodybuilding by a good friend Geovanny Govea and noticed immediate results and fast gains in both muscle size and strength. I weighed about 170 lbs when I first started bodybuilding and never really focused on legs, I was more into building my physique from the top. After noticing the transformation of my body and muscular development I couldn't get enough of lifting.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
My best workout plan is 5 workout days, 1 day off and 1 on, followed by another off day.
Monday: Chest, Abs
Tuesday: Quads (a.m.) & Hamstrings, Calves (p.m.)
Wednesday: Back
Thursday: Shoulders, Tri's
Friday: Biceps, Abs
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Traps, Calves, Abs-(30min Cardio)
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
When I first began lifting there was no such thing as a nutritional plan it was all about trying to gain weight at any circumstance. This wasn't detrimental to my physique and knowing what I know now if I had another chance to do it all over, I would've taken a different approach to gaining mass.
With my first show the approach taken was a low-carb, high protein diet consuming 100-150gms of carbs a day and 230gms of protein a day. I eat about 5 meals a day, every 2.5hrs, consuming high protein sources such as: Chicken, Tuna, Shakes, Egg Whites and lean red meat. Carb sources are usually a bagel in the morning and 2 cups of white rice a day.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
Cell Tech is a good source for mass and strength gains; despite the water-weight it is great. Nutrex Niox is the best source of Nitric Oxide I have ever used. CLA along with Lipo-6 is a good tool for pre-contest fat burning and to keep my energy up throughout the day I use Mega Men's Vitamins.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
Bodybuilding has had a great impression in almost every aspect of my life. It requires discipline and a great deal of mental stability. The gym is my time to focus and work on another lagging body part and prove to myself that I can put the total package together and look great on stage.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
My future plans are to compete in an upcoming show in San Francisco and from there take some time off and work my way to the nationals. My long term goal... by the age of 30 to have my IFBB pro card.
Contest History:
2007 NPC Steel City, Pueblo Co:

Early loves are all very well and I'm not going to get into the first R rated movie I ever saw, because Robert Redford deserves his own blog post. Still, even with 3 Days of the Condor behind me, I didn't know true love until my mother and I watched every minute of Poldark on Masterpiece Theater. My mother was an intellectual snob par excellence - she never watched TV unless it came from England, in which case it was Educational and Culturally Superior. Well, except for Beat the Clock and the Doris Day show - she liked those too. Still, she never watched soaps or sitcoms or anything like that, unless you count Upstairs, Downstairs; Mystery; and every single damn BBC production that was ever introduced to the States by the mellifluous tones of Alastair Cooke on Sunday nights. Be careful not to get mixed up! Masterpiece Theater was hosted by Alastair Cooke, not Aleister Crowley, who would have put together quite a different program, no doubt.
I was usually kind of bored by Masterpiece Theater, even when I was allowed to stay up to watch it (we were properly raised, which is to say we were put to bed hideously early) but since it came on after Mutual of Omaha and then Disney, both of which we were allowed to watch, sometimes I got to see it anyway. My boredom, however, changed with the advent of Poldark, which was basically a filmed adaptation of a slightly more literate than usual series of historical romances set in Cornwall. I have never been to Cornwall but I have read any number of novels set there and those, with the influence of Poldark, make me feel as if I know the place. It's infested with elves, holy Grails, sleeping knights, smoldering smugglers, ghosts, ladies in strategically torn white nighties, thrashing dramatic scenery and lots of cliffs that people throw themselves off on a regular basis. Excellent, in other words. Poldark was something else again and my mother and I were completely, absolutely and totally hooked. The tempetuousness of it all! The incredibly good looking Ross Poldark! Oh my god, Ross Poldark. Be still, my twelve year old heart!
I inherited my mother's beliefs on TV - if it comes from the UK, it's good; from the US, it's bad - and thus in the early 80s I was ripe for Robin Hood. Robin of Sherwood was not only one of the most beautiful men (in a specifically early 80s kind of way) I had ever seen, it also had veiled references to Celtic mythology and a kind of Enya meets the Temptations proto New Age soundtrack. I was hooked, even more than I was hooked on Excalibur, which is saying a lot, since Excalibur was apparently the only movie that the Charleston, SC infant cable company had full rights to - they played it more or less 24 / 7 and I knew every word. Still, there was nobody gorgeous in the entire cast of Excalibur while Robin. . . oh god. . . Robin.
As we age, our hormones settle down a bit and these bland young actors cannot stir them. I tried watching the new BBC Robin Hood early this summer - I have had a thing for Robin Hood my entire life, okay, I confess - but I was unmoved. My daughter, who does not have a thing for Robin Hood at all, possibly because of all the various Robin Hoods I, her mother, have made her sit through, said something cranky about how stupid Robin Hood was, really. Nonsense! I said, wait until you meet the real Robin Hood, the sexiest Robin Hood ever! And I launched myself on a quest to find my Robin Hood of memory and lo, since one of the truly all good things to come out of the 21st century is Netflix, I found it.
Huh. It's very, um, early 80s. Robin does seem to spend a lot of time sweeping his hair out of his eyes. He's kind of cute but. Well. It's just . . . just not the SAME! I can't stand it! And neither could my daughter, who said cutting things about the soundtrack - "Are they singing? They're singing! They're singing ROBIN. . . ROBIN IN THE WOODS!" and the hairdos. And then I, in some kind of defense, went online and discovered that I was not the only middle aged woman in the world who still harbored a secret crush but that at least I had not devoted my life to a fan forum. Which, all power to them, but in new pictures of Robin he's wearing kind of an alarming amount of eyeliner and, well, I just can't go there. He's aged, too. I mean, a lot. Not like me. Um. Sigh.
That was Robin Hood, though. He was never on Masterpiece Theatre and thus, despite his undeniable Britishness, was probably less cultural than Poldark.. Poldark must be different and so, when I saw that I could get Poldark from Netflix on demand last night, I forced Audrey to sit down and watch the first episode with me. Oh. Oh dear. It's rather slow. And Poldark's original love, Elizabeth, is really strange looking, as in, she looks and acts not unlike a standard poodle. A standard poodle made of wood, at that. And the titles are tempestuous, as is the scenery and the extras and, frankly, Ross Poldark is, as my daughter pointed out, kind of an asshole. I googled him too. He seems to have turned into a rather jovial old man and, damn, another idol has bitten the dust.

text: Prevention/Epidemiology United Kingdom: Doctors Call for Free Condoms in Pubs and Taxis to Protect Against Sexual DiseasesDecember 20, 2007 Results from a major study examining the sexual risks involved in drinking alcohol suggest that condoms should be made more accessible to young people in order to protect them against STDs and unwanted pregnancy. The study authors interviewed 520 men and women who had visited a genitourinary (GU) clinic over a two-month period in a large city in southern England. They found that 86 percent consumed more than the six units of alcohol in one session, the government's definition of binge drinking, and often drank considerably more. The most usual consumption was 26 units on a typical Friday or Saturday night, equivalent to two and a half bottles of wine or more than three-quarters of a bottle of vodka per person. Among the group, 76 percent of women had had unprotected sex as a result of drinking. The women who binged most heavily reported more unwanted pregnancies. "We believe that this study demonstrates a clear indication that national public health strategies related to sexual health, sexual behavior, unintended pregnancy, and sexual assault in the UK need to be focused on both sexual and alcohol risks," the authors said. Professor Wallace Dinsmore, editor of the journal that published the study, said: "The young people interviewed in this study frequently said that better access to condoms at the time and place they were needed would have enabled them to practice safer sex. Young people can get free condoms from their [general practitioners], family planning and GU clinics, but it might make more sense to give condoms away in pubs, clubs, and taxis." The study, "Binge Drinking, Sexual Behavior and Sexually Transmitted Infection in the UK," was published in the International Journal of STD & AIDS (2007;18(12):810-813). The Guardian (London) 12.18.2007; Sarah Boseley This article was provided by CDC National Prevention Information Network. It is a part of the publication CDC HIV/Hepatitis/STD/TB Prevention News Update.

HTC is suing Apple with patents Google transferred to it on September 1st
- 22
HTC has filed patent infringement claims against Apple with patents that were 'transferred' from Google on September 1st reports Bloomberg. This transaction amounts to a gift from Google to HTC in an attempt to bolster the key Android partner's case against Apple.
The 9 patents named in the suit originated in a collection of different mobile tech companies including Palm, Motorola and Openwave. Google took ownership of these patents within the past year. HTC almost immediately turned around and sued Apple using four of the patents, that appear to have come in the acquisition of Motorola Mobility by Google last month, in a federal court in Deleware.
Ever been to a tech festival?
TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
The other patents, including three from Openwave and two from Palm, were used to amend an ongoing complaint case with the ITC.
The main issue here, and the reason why Google most likely gifted these patents to HTC, is that the ITC has issued a preliminary ruling that HTC's products to infringe two Apple patents. One of those patents, 6,343,263, for a 'realtime API' isn't just a component of HTC's devices, it's a core component of Android and if a ruling was made to stick against it, it could affect the entire Android ecosystem, not just HTC. In fact, a recent document that has come to light in the HTC case indicates that Andy Rubin of Google may have even worked on the API team at Apple at the time that they were filing for the patent.
Mr. Rubin began his career at Apple in the early 1990s and worked as a low-level engineer specifically reporting to the inventors of the '263 [realtime API] patent at the exact time their invention was being conceived and developed. […] It is thus no wonder that the infringing Android platform used the claimed subsystem approach of the '263 patent that allows for flexibility of design and enables the platform to be "highly customizable and expandable" as HTC touts.
By shoring up HTC's defense against Apple, Google is, in effect, boosting its own defense against any future litigation that Apple may bring directly against it.
HTC recently completed acquisitions of S3 Graphics and Dashwire, in order to boost its patent portfolio against Apple. HTC had previously filed suit against Apple with the ITC, seeking an import ban on Apple's devices in response to an earlier suit by Apple in regards to iPhone-related patents. Apple then filed for an import ban on HTC's devices in retaliation. HTC said that it was "disappointed at Apple's constant attempts at litigations instead of competing fairly in the market."

Sporting glasses and a shirt that read "RIOT," the actress met up with friends for a night out. Last week, Kristen made headlines with news that the home she shared with Robert Pattinson [2] is being sold for more than $6 million dollars. While her old LA home is on the market, Kristen has been overseas, filming her new movie, Sils Maria. During a day filming at a lake in Switzerland, Kristen stripped down [3] and hopped in the water, just weeks after she bared all in a stunning Balenciaga fragrance campaign [4]. This past week, rumors of a possible new project for Kristen came up, as she's reportedly in talks about the movie Equals [5], along with Nicholas Hoult.

SIX guerillas from the leftist FARC rebel group and four Colombian soldiers have been killed in clashes in southwest Colombia.
Military officials say the fighting occurred in the town of El Doncello, in the department of Caqueta, a stronghold of the southern bloc of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
Three soldiers were injured and two militants captured.
The latest casualties of Colombia's almost half-century-old insurgency came a day after the rebel group announced it had captured a US-ex soldier but said it was ready to release him as a gesture toward peace talks with the government.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, is the country's largest guerrilla group with 8000 fighters.
Talks between the rebels and the government opened last November in Cuba, in the fourth attempt since the 1980s to end the conflict that has left 600,000 dead, more than 3.7 million displaced and 15,000 missing.

So you are admitting that Linux had a strong showing in servers? This would be precisely the area that is supposed to be driven by being able to call a company like Microsoft. That's a bit of a contradiction.
You are also giving Microsoft far too much credit as a server support vendor when the real competition is the likes of Oracle, or Sun, or IBM. Microsoft is a lightweight by comparison.
By your own admission Linux thrived despite of this mentality where everyone assumes "you can't get fired for buying Microsoft"
"Desktop" software is pretty lightweight by comparison.
What Google has is marketing. Guerilla marketing just doesn's work with n00b consumers. It's not like professional tools where all you have to do is "build and they will come". You need to dress it up and run TV ads and all manner of flim flam.
Many people are unenthusiastic about their work.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater Journals
- - My first Cichlid tank and update...
My first Cichlid tank and update... of my 55 gallon. I decided to rehome the goldfish I recently got and turn the tank into a cichlid tank I used pool filter sand and did the pillow case method which was really easy and stocked it with yellow lab cichlids and johanni cichlids and I am loveing the two colors together. All of the plants in the 55 except the frogbit and water sprite came from mikeswetpets on aquabid and I could not be happier with the plants or the wonderful service I got and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for plants. So please feel free to make suggestions and tell me what you like or don't like. ;-) First the Cichlid tank I will get pics of the fish in a few days once they settle in and color up nicely. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/r...ichlids017.jpg And here is the 55: http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/r...ichlids015.jpg |
Love the Cichlid tank. Did you stack those rocks like that or did it come as a formation? Can't wait to see the 55 grow in! |
I stacked them like that they came from my mom and dads yard. ; ) I set it up Friday but then decided I did not like it so I redid it again on Saturday spending at least an hour each time just makeing sure they were sturdy and would not fall on the fish. |
Aww you got rid of the goldies? But I think you did a great job with the setup. I've never kept cichlids and don't know squat about them, but your tank looks gorgeous! |
Don't worry Koimaiden they went to a wonderful lady that I know on another fish forum she has a 55 gallon tank set up just for Goldies she had two other fan tails as well that she has had for 8 years. Thank you as well for likeing my setup. |
Then it looks like everyone got a happy ending! I know nothing about cichlids, but do you plan to plant this tank like your others? |
Right now I have duckweed and anacharis in it which I know they will eventually eat the only plant that I know of they will not eat is Jungle Val so I am going to place an order for them some time after Christmas. |
LOL the difference is you can have more of them in a tank then you can of the goldies. Not all cichlids get huge like Oscars. ; ) |

Eric Maskin

Born | December 12, 1950 New York City, New York |
Residence | United States |
Nationality | American |
Fields | Economist |
Institutions | Institute for Advanced Study Massachusetts Institute of Technology Harvard University Princeton University |
Alma mater | Harvard University |
Known for | Game theory, mechanism design |
Notable awards | Nobel Prize in Economics (2007) |
Eric Stark Maskin (born December 12, 1950) is an American economist. In 2007, he won the Nobel Prize in Economics with Leonid Hurwicz and Roger Myerson. He is the Albert O. Hirschman Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study, and a visiting Professor at Princeton University.[1]
Life story[change | change source]
Maskin was born in New York City, New York on December 12, 1950, to a non-religious Jewish family, and grew up in Alpine, New Jersey.[2] He graduated from Tenafly High School in Tenafly, New Jersey in 1968,[3] and then studied at Harvard University where he received his A.B. and Ph.D. After he got his Ph.D., Maskin went to the University of Cambridge in 1976 where he was a research fellow at Cambridge College. He taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1977-1984 and from 1985-2000 at Harvard, where he was the Louis Berkman Professor of Economics. In 2000, he moved to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
He has studied a wide range of subjects in economic theory, such as game theory, the economics of incentives, and contract theory. He is particularly well known for his work on mechanism design/implementation theory and dynamic games. His current research projects include comparing different rules for elections, the causes of inequality and studying coalition formation. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Econometric Society, and the European Economic Association, and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy. He was president of the Econometric Society in 2003.
Software patents[change | change source]
Maskin suggested that software patents make new inventions difficult. Software, semiconductor, and computer industries have made many inventions in the past when patent laws have been weak, he argued. "In the 1980s when patent protection was extended to software," wrote Maskin. "Arguments predicted that productivity should have increased among patenting firms." Maskins ideas that this would not happen were correct. "These increases did not occur." [4]

Vote: Is the financial system fixed?
Five years ago this weekend, the giant investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, ushering in a financial crisis and economic contraction the likes of which hadn't been seen since the Great Depression. Less than two weeks later, but before regulators decided to back every big financial institution, Seattle's Washington Mutual was allowed to become the biggest bank failure in American history. Some would say it was pushed, but that's another story.
Most of the causes of the catastrophe are well-known: Deregulation, "innovations" such as exotic derivatives, shadow banking, securitization of massive numbers of subprime loans, high executive compensation rewarding excessive risk-taking, too much leverage, regulators captured by the industry and a massive bubble enabled by the Federal Reserve. The costs went well beyond those to the financial system. A Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas report estimates that the Panic of 2008 and resulting downturn cost each household between $50,000 and $120,000. Unemployment remains high. Inequality is worse. Beyond the money, trust in institutions and the equal application of the rule of law has been shredded.
In its typical inviting way, Ezra Klein's Wonkblog offers 13 charts showing what's fixed and what isn't five years later. On the Atlantic's site, James Kwak argues that policymakers have learned little if nothing from the crash. So it's time for your say:

The Nest
36 Stoke Newington Rd,
United Kingdom
Lindstrom + Grum + Mighty Mouse + Ronika (LIVE) + Pardon My French + Slutty Fringe DJs @ The Nest
Bank Holiday Sunday 3rd June 2012
Mighty Mouse
Ronika (live)
Oardon My French
Slutty Fringe DJs
This June Bank Holiday, The Nest presents to Dalston one of their most exciting line-ups to date with some of the world's heaviest-disco names penned to the bill.
Heading the disco charge is a cult-DJ with a tried-and-tested record in tearing up London's dance-floors: Lindstrøm. The Norwegian producer's reign of space disco has made him a global pin-up within certain dance circles; his stream of highly-acclaimed EPs and remixes for names including Franz Ferdinand, Juan Maclean and LCD Soundsystem have made sure his tight measures of progressive, disco and even gospel are remembered. Simply put, he's nothing short of special.
With comparisons to Daft Punk and Mylo, you'll need very little persuasion to get to the floor for Scottish producer/DJ, GRUM. Since his 2010 debut 'Heartbeats', he's taken his trade-electro through the blogs and out onto the decks gathering huge critical respect.
Joining Lindstrom and Grum is disco-king Mighty Mouse and playing out live is bedroom-producer Ronika with Bristol's disco-champs and Crack Magazine residents, Pardon My French and bloggers Slutty Fringe are also on board.
The intimate basement space has never seen a disco-bill like it with earlybird tickets in advance at £10.

Reader: Is there a business selling righteous indignation in LoHi?
Lola was one of the first to pioneer the neighborhood newly dubbed LoHi. |
Restaurants and bars keep coming into LoHi -- but what does the neighborhood really need? Parking, for sure, says Philo99: "It's a great place to party but has become a terrible place to live."
But does it really need a fast-casual spot, as one reader suggests?
See also: - Reader: 55 spots in LoHi, and not a fast-casual restaurant to be found - LoHi goes from 22 bars and restaurants to 55 -- in just six years
Not according to eyeroll:
For those complaining about not being able to walk to a restaurant in order to get a bowl or tortilla full of rice: some might say that you could walk your butt into your kitchen, put some water and rice in a pot, turn a knob on your stove and shortly have a bowl of rice you could then smother in salsa, soy sauce, or what have you. I suppose that would require you to find a new source of righteous indignation, however. Too much effort - unless there's a locally owned business selling righteous indignation within walking distance.
For more discussion of LoHi, fast-casual joints and the fact that you can get take-out from just about any restaurant, see the conversation already under way here.

At about 10 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8, after 32 years of not infrequently interrupted effort, Little Bear began its journey seaward to a port in Redwood City, the finished hull gleaming and pristine, its interior rooms paneled in walnut. The California Highway Patrol led the way.
Because the vessel weighs 70 tons and is as big as a house — it sleeps eight and has three bathrooms, or heads — and there being no convenient waterway between Dry Creek Lane off Canada Road and the Redwood City harbor, it had to be towed over the roads as a wide load. Therein lay the challenge.
Mr. Ellis, 71, faced an implacable deadline: a once-a-year high tide deep enough to accommodate the launching of his craft. He had found just one mover, Montgomery Contractors Corp. of Sacramento, agreeable to hauling his vessel from Woodside to the Bay, and he had an eight-hour window — 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. — to use the roads.
The hours ticked by as the crew tried to maneuver the towing package out of Dry Creek Lane. Beams from flashlights held by friends and neighbors, their breath condensing in the cold night air, punctuated the darkness. Overhead utility wires got in the way of the hull and had to be pushed up with homemade poles. The eight-wheel dollies up front seemed uncooperative in rounding the turn on to Olive Hill Lane, and the electric motor used to slue the wheels around sparked and fizzled. Tight chain lashings held the vessel in place on the trailer, and its movements elicited ominous groans and pops of metal under stress.
Forward progress settled in at around 2:50 a.m. after the towing crew swapped out the two front dollies for a single one. They made it as far as the dirt triangle at Whiskey Hill and Sand Hill roads in Woodside.
After a day's rest, the overland journey at 3 to 5 mph resumed Friday night and ended Saturday morning, Jan. 10, at Docktown Marina in Redwood City. In need of deeper water, the vessel was then towed to the city's municipal marina.
Crying wolf
The best laid plans, etc., etc. Asked at around 2:40 a.m. Friday morning for his impressions of the night's activity and with his vessel still sitting in Olive Hill Lane, Mr. Ellis replied: "I just hope we get there in two or three days. This isn't quite what I expected. I expected to be at Roberts (market at Woodside and Canada roads) at midnight."
Jim Thompson, his friend and protege, said he worked on the vessel as a gofer for five years in the late 1970s. "I was kind of the 'do it all' guy and wanted to learn a lot and I was lucky to meet Jerry," he said.
Mr. Ellis is "very determined and very smart (and) one of the best builders in the whole area," Mr. Thompson said, and added that he attributes his decision to go to college and pursue civil engineering in large part to being inspired and mentored by Mr. Ellis.
The vessel's departure "is something I never thought would happen," he said. "I thought that boat would be there forever."
Mr. Ellis' daughter, Kristin Mosely, 42, said her father began work on Little Bear when she was 10. She recalled many optimistic predictions of the vessel's completion. But as in the story of the boy who cried wolf, dashed expectations became routine, she said.
"It's like he's been pregnant for 32 years," she said. When he called her at her home in Colorado this time, "my heart just dropped," she said. "Is this really it"?
The long view seemed a habit for Mr. Ellis. Over the decades, he let Atherton homeowners with walnut trees know of his interest in their wood if the trees needed felling, said friend and Portola Valley resident Scott Petry.

Iran's gas condensate exports increased to 7.75 million tons during the last four months, indicating a 2.3-time increase compared to the same period last year.
Iran's fiscal year starts on March 20.
Iran's Custom Administration released its monthly report on Aug. 13, saying the country's total gas condensate export value during last four months was $5.18 billion, 1.7 times more than the same period last year.
It is not clear why Iran's gas condensate export experienced a 127 percent increase in volume, but has only a 72.3 percent increase in value, while there have not been any significant fluctuations in oil prices since last year.
However, Iran reportedly offers discounts to customers to encourage them to buy more Iranian oil.
China is Iran's biggest both crude oil and the gas condensate importer. According to the China Custom reports, this country received 630,000 barrels of Iranian oil during the first half of 2014, indicating about a 50 percent increase.

Iran's Custom Administration includes condensate and liquid petroleum gas (butane and propane) in non-oil export items.
The first four months of Iranian fiscal year are 31-day month each one, then Iran exported 525,000 barrels of condensate per day on average during the last four months at a price of about $80 per barrel.
The natural gas condensate is an ultra-light crude produced from gas fields.
Iran was producing a little more than 0.4 million barrels of condensate during 2013, but phase 12 of South Pars gas field came on stream early 2014.
According to the International Energy Agency's reports, Iran had above 30 million barrels of oil, including condensate stored on tankers in the first half of 2013, but director of the International Affairs Department at National Iranian Oil Company Mohsen Ghamsari said said on Aug. 5 that that Iran now has less than 5 million barrels of gas condensates storage at China's coasts to be sold to Chinese refiners gradually.
Shana News Agency reported in May that Iran exported the first condensate cargo, produced at Phase 12 of South Pars, amounted to 900,000 barrels.
According to the report, Iran exported 862,000 tons of propane, worth $687 million during the mentioned time, indicates a 130 percent and 141 percent increase in volume and value respectively, compared to the same period in the last year.
The country also exported 542,000 tons of butane, worth $535 million, shows a 65 percent and 79 percent in volume and value respectively.

A Waukesha man, 47, was arrested on suspicion of his eighth drunken driving offense last night after he struck a Carroll University student, a light pole and at least two cars in downtown Waukesha before fleeing, according to Waukesha Police Capt. Mark Stigler.
Police received several calls about a red sport utility vehicle driving recklessly in the city just before 9 p.m. Tuesday. Then they received a 911 call about a pedestrian struck by the same vehicle near the university.
The male student was crossing the intersection of College and Grand avenues when the vehicle went into a spin and struck the student, then a light pole before speeding from the scene. The student has non life-threatening injuries, Stigler said.
Police found the vehicle a few blocks away and spoke with the driver. The man told police that he didn't hit anyone - other cars hit him, Stigler said.
In addition to drunken driving, he was arrested on suspicion of causing injury while drunken driving, hit and run causing injury, and hit and run causing property damage, Stigler said.
He is also accused of backing into a vehicle while both were waiting for a traffic light at W. Main and Clinton streets. And he is accused of striking a parked car in the 100 block of W. Main St., Stigler said.
He has been placed in the Waukesha County Jail until he is charged.

David Mackay
Personality Profile
David Mackay - a Director - born on Monday July 25th 1988, in Unknown.
David Mackay has powerful personality, and possesses great potential for success, but this power is delicate and conditioned by a strong commitment of his to his ideals and vision, which must be used to inspire others to join him in his dream. He must learn to effectively bring together the necessary elements - people, ideas and resources - to realize his goals. This undertaking can be quite complex and multi-layered, so Mackay must also learn to surrender to the larger cause that he serves, and to understand that the final result may be quite different from his original vision. But with such faith and commitment, David will make an enduring impact on the world.
is good at business and politics. He naturally understands large institutions, and has the ability to think and act on an international scale. He has developed the talent to deal effectively with a great variety of people, to understand and consequently to unite many differing people toward a single goal. As the visionary with both his feet on the ground, David Mackay is gifted with uncommonly sound common sense. He can see the beauty and potential in a given idea, but also the practical methods that will bring it to fruition. He also understands intuitively the limitations of ideas - what will work and what will not.
David Mackay is a steady partner in any relationship, and offers sound advice and consistent emotional support. He avoids airs and pretension, does not suffer from flights of fancy, and resists the emotional heights. However, David is also very difficult to live up to. This ambitious personality of his makes him a most difficult master who drives all that is around him to accomplish the utmost of what they are capable of.
Mackay's lesson is to share his vision and allow others too to make their personal contributions. This flexibility is perhaps the toughest challenge for David Mackay's strong personality. When he grows more faith in the ability of others, he would lessen his tendency to control, and sometimes even manipulate, people and situations. More...
More flavors to David's personality
David Mackay is full of energy, always on the go, fidgety, and quite hyperactive. Life is in a constant motion for him and he devours it powerfully.
He has great ability to put thoughts into action, and there is no wait once he sets his mind on something. Where others tend to think or dream, David already takes action while radiating energy, enthusiasm, and livelihood around.
His physical stamina is strong, and he loves mental and physical exercise. David Mackay keep himself physically or mentally busy at all times, and he feels better spending time outdoors and eating natural foods.
Limited space is a major challenge for David, while exercise, proper diet, and rest are critical for his health. A good walk in the fresh air serves as an intellectual vehicle for him.
Entrepreneurial and progressive, David Mackay is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his plan until the goals are achieved.
He bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making David cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.
Patient as he is towards his goals, David's flying, ravaging temper endangers his relationships with the very same people that will help him to accomplish those goals. He should use his strength of will to study and practice anger management.
David Mackay makes a good performer, but at the same time he can be quite intense and serious.
His artistic talent is emphasized in the performing arts where sensitivity and understanding for people and situations is called for.
David can easily gain high respect in the community, being understanding of the views of others, and he often tends to achieve his goals.
When balanced, he is compassionate and emotionally secure. Mackay is also a natural healer, with leadership qualities and the ability to genuinely empathize. He also radiates love and spiritual happiness to those around him.
When unbalanced, drama queen is not an unfamiliar term to David, and he often likes to give advice to others even when his own life is a mess.
By becoming aware of his emotions, he can gain control over them rather than have his emotions control his life. And the reward is great because then he shows vast depth of understanding while keeping his emotions checked.
Tour David's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
We invite you to create your own free personality profile, in private and for your eyes only!.
March 29th 2017 finds David Mackay to be sensitive and self-conscious.
Being a little out of tune, David's capacity to face challenges has diminished today, so he should avoid deadlines and other stressful constraints. His best bet is to take some time off and/or busy himself with romance - a highly favorable activity for the day.

Subject | context.xml, hotdeploy |
Date | Fri, 13 Jun 2008 20:19:00 GMT |
Hi Mark, Yeah I don't think the cleanup for 42747 will help with this issue. The other thing that I forgot to mention is that the behavior is inconsistent between exploded deployment and war deployment. In war deployment the file will be copied to the conf/Catalina location. In exploded deployment the file will remain where it is and be used from where it is. In war deployment I still find it useful to hotdeploy files to the exploded directory and with the current implementation, hotdeploying the context.xml file will not work in war deployment mode. It will work in exploded deployment mode, if I manually have the war exploded instead of allowing tc to explode it for me. Would you not consider the inconsistent behavior to be a bug? Thanks for the response, Fu-Tung In terms of my usage of context.xml I am not doing anything special in fact pretty much to the letter of the example in the sun docs for form based authentication. The only thing that is different is that my authentication source happens to be war based and running in the tc web container. There isn't anything strictly wrong with that. There are other approaches I could use, a different authentication source, have the authentication source run in a separately launched and configured tc container, etc. In any case this is tangential to the bug report. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45202 --- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <firstname.lastname@example.com> 2008-06-13 11:59:06 PST --- Copying to conf is an intentional design decision. There are a few things that need cleaning up in this area (see bug 42747) but I don't think changes for that bug are going to help you. If you want to discuss the reasons behind the design decision, please use the dev list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com | |

Watching molecules 'dance' in real time |
(Nanowerk News) A new method which uses tightly confined light trapped between gold mirrors a billionth of a metre apart to watch molecules dancing in real time could help researchers uncover many of the cell processes that are essential to all life, and how small changes to these processes can lead to diseases such as cancer or Alzheimers. | |
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have demonstrated how to use light to view individual molecules bending and flexing as they move through a model cell membrane, in order to better understand the inner workings of cells. Details are published today (12 August) in the journal Scientific Reports ("Watching individual molecules flex within lipid membranes using SERS"). | |
Lipid flexing within gap plasmon hot stop. (Image: Felix Benz) | |
The membrane is vital to the normal functioning of cells; keeping viruses out but allowing select molecules, such as drugs, to get through. This critical front line of cellular defence is made up of a layer of fatty lipids, just a few nanometres thick. | |
When the cell membrane is damaged however, unwanted invaders can march into the cell. Many degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy are believed to originate from damage to the cell membrane. | |
The ability to watch how individual lipid molecules interact with their environment can help researchers understand not only how these and other diseases behave at their earliest stages, but also many of the fundamental biological processes which are key to all life. | |
In order to view the behaviour of the cell membrane at the level of individual molecules, the Cambridge team, working with researchers from the University of Leeds, squeezed them into a tiny gap between the mirrored gold facets of a nanoparticle sitting just above a flat gold surface. | |
Through highly precise control of the geometry of the nanostructures, and using Raman spectroscopy, an ultra-sensitive molecular identification technique, the light can be trapped between the mirrors, allowing the researchers to fingerprint individual molecules. Its like having an extremely powerful magnifying glass made out of gold, said Professor Jeremy Baumberg of the NanoPhotonics Centre at Cambridges Cavendish Laboratory, who led the research. | |
Analysing the colours of the light which is scattered by the mirrors allowed the different vibrations of each molecule to be seen within this intense optical field. Probing such delicate biological samples with light allows us to watch these dancing molecules for hours without changing or destroying them, said co-author Felix Benz. The molecules stand shoulder to shoulder like trees in a forest, while a few jitter around sideways. | |
By continuously observing the scattered light, individual molecules are seen moving in and out of the tiny gaps between the mirrors. Carefully analysis of the signatures from different parts of each molecule allowed any changes in the molecule shape to be observed, which helps to understand how their reaction sites can be uncovered when they are at work. Most excitingly the team says these flexing and bending motions are not expected to occur at the slow time scales of the experiment, allowing the researchers to make videos of their progress. | |
It is completely astonishing to watch the molecules change shape in real time, said Richard Taylor, lead author of the paper. | |
The new insights from this work suggest ways to unveil processes which are essential to all life and understand how small changes to these processes can cause disease. |

When speaking to ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's Galloway and Company back in late July Mark Cuban vehemently denounced naysayers of Dirk Nowitzki who said that the Mavs forward's time as an elite player was done. The doubters have fuel based on the fact that Nowitzki had his lowest scoring average since his rookie season in 1998-99 and had to battle back from knee surgery.
"Knock on wood if we stay healthy I think people are just missing Dirk in ways they shouldn't" Cuban said in late July. "Like I've been telling him Karl Malone won an MVP at 35 and there's no reason why he can't be considered in an MVP conversation at 35."
An indirect way to ensure Nowitzki is cranking on cylinders is to have a John Stockton-like player. Enter Jose Calderon.
"He's one of the best ball distributors in the game" Cuban said of Calderon during the team's introductory press conference last week. "He's going to open up the court."
The 31-year-old Calderon will be handed the keys to the flow offense. While he doesn't carry a lot of playoff experience he's widely regarded as one of the most efficient point guards the league has holding career averages of 10.1 points and 7.2 assists. He's coming off a season where he split time between Toronto and Detroit and averaged 11.3 points 7.1 assists and just 1.7 turnovers while shooting a league-best .461 percent from 3-point range.
Bringing an influx of basketball IQ to the roster with Calderon should make life easier for Nowitzki.

Advertisement In February, Carter was arrested for making comments on Facebook following a League of Legends match. When another player called him crazy, Carter responded by writing "I'm fucked in the head alright, I think Imma shoot up a kindergarten and watch the blood of the innocent reign down." He was subsequently arrested and jailed until an anonymous benefactor donated $500k to allow Carter's family to post bail.Carter and his legal representation had most recently been attempting to get his case thrown out by the Comal County, Texas court. This latest development is certainly a setback for Carter's case, though in July Carter's lawyer Don Flanary told Kotaku that even if the attempt for dismissal fell through, there exist "many other avenues to take it up on appeal." We've reached out to Carter's legal representation to find out more about what happened and how this changes things for their case, and will update if and when we hear back.

The Best Sentence I've Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) award, this morning, goes to Tim Siggia. Blogger friend Virgil sends us a link to Siggia's latest, in an off-line.
They delved into just about just about every aspect of [Joe] Wurzelbacher's life, and, lo and behold, they found out Joe was an unlicensed plumber — this bit of information being gleefully provided by the plumbers' union, whose bosses undoubtedly had their own reasons for wanting to get Joe. It wasn't just that he had asked the wrong question of a Democratic candidate — an absolute no-no in union circles — but the union hadn't gotten that slice of Joe's income, in the form of union dues, to which the bosses consider themselves entitled. But Joe's standing as a plumber is not the issue here. The issue is a candidate who, in an off-script moment, told both Joe The Plumber and the rest of America who he really is and what he really stands for.
That there above, all of it, is wind-up.
Smackdown follows…
The fact also that Joe The Plumber, a lifelong workingman, is now under persecution by the political party that continuously has portrayed itself as the workingman's party, makes the hypocrisy of it all particularly odious.
Maybe nowadays it's more like "lawyer party."
Listened to Joe on the Laura Ingraham yesterday and she had a great line about how Barack has managed to cause a person to lose their job in America already, even before taking office.
Also, saw Joe on Huckebee's FOX show last Sun. and he stated that he worked under his bosses license, which sounded like standard operating procedure.
The irony of many of the union workers is that they are self sufficient, hard working individuals. Which is at odds with the very organizations they are represented by political ideology and support. Very odd.
