X Ambassadors
Claim Band
For X Ambassadors, an unshakable sense of brotherhood has long shaped the sound and spirit of the band. Growing up in small-town upstate New York, frontman Sam Harris, his brother Casey, and childhood friend Noah Feldshuh bonded over an obsessive love for punk, rock & roll, soul, and hip-hop that defied the conventions of their peer group. Forming their first band in middle school, the three channeled their infatuation with artists as eclectic as The Stooges and The Staple Singers into a string
For X Ambassadors, an unshakable sense of brotherhood has long shaped the sound and spirit of the band. Growing up in small-town upstate New York, frontman Sam Harris, his brother Casey, and childhood friend Noah Feldshuh bonded over an obsessive love for punk, rock & roll, soul, and hip-hop that defied the conventions of their peer group. Forming their first band in middle school, the three channeled their infatuation with artists as eclectic as The Stooges and The Staple Singers into a string of musical projects that sharply clashed with their local scene's favoring of folk and country. After graduating high school and decamping to New York City in search of a greater music community, the Harris brothers and Noah joined up with L.A.-raised drummer Adam Levin—a move that helped X Ambassadors solidify their sound into a groove-fueled take on alt-pop, and ultimately land a deal with KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records.
Produced in collaboration with KIDinaKORNER founder Alex Da Kid, Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds and friend Dan Stringer, X Ambassadors released their major label debut EP Love Songs Drug Songs in May 2013. The set finds the Brooklyn-based foursome building off their singular chemistry to create a collection of songs both stylish and soulful. "They're bringing together alternative and R&B in a way I've never heard before, and at the core of that are these great songs with so much authenticity," says Alex, a Grammy-winning producer hailed for his work with heavyweights like Dr. Dre and Nicki Minaj. "The music comes from a very real place," he continues, "and it's made even more powerful by the deep connection that they have as a band."
Throughout Love Songs Drug Songs, X Ambassadors weave elegant melodies and sweetly smooth vocals into taut arrangements powered by percussion. From the Afro-pop-inspired beats of "Unconsolable" to the fuzzed-out stomp of the title track to the slinky groove of "Stranger," the heady rhythms at the heart of the EP endlessly mesmerize but never overshadow X Ambassadors' graceful musicianship. Still, even on the EP's breezier tracks—such as the shimmering, harmony-kissed "Down With Me"—X Ambassadors flaunt their finely honed pop sensibilities while radiating a raw intensity and darkly moody emotionalism.
X Ambassadors toured in support of Love Songs Drug Songs with a string of dates opening for Imagine Dragons at arenas across the country as well as an opening slot on the Jimmy Eat World tour last summer and a fall tour with the Mowgli's. Life on the road proved productive for chief songwriter Sam Harris and the band released their second EP, The Reason, in January 2014, right before they embarked on a sold out tour with Panic! At The Disco and another run of dates with Imagine Dragons.
A recurring theme of the working class struggle that often inhibits the American dream makes up The Reason EP. Most people will tell you that if you work hard enough at something, you can make any dream come true. But what happens when putting in your hours just isn't enough? On the opening track "Free & Lonely," Harris sings against a stomping rhythm "Get a job, get married, have kids… I left my life behind, but I ain't got time to look back on when I was free." "The Business," is a rock anthem that has Harris singing "So long, so long, going back to nine to five…so much for keeping the dream alive...I'm going to give up the business." "The Reason is our attempt to tell the story of someone who gave up chasing a dream and who had the courage to start over," says Harris. "Sometimes things just don't work out. We're all afraid of failure, but there's bravery in knowing when it's time to move on. You never know what's next."
For X Ambassadors, the passionately charged pop heard all over both Love Songs Drug Song and The Reason EP is the product of a lifetime of sonic exploration. Born into a highly musical family (Mom was a jazz and cabaret singer, Dad once aspired to be a country songwriter), Sam and Casey each began playing instruments before the age of ten. While Casey discovered his love for piano at seven, Sam (who "started singing as soon as I could speak") moved from drums to guitar to piano to bass to saxophone throughout his childhood. In junior high, Sam prompted Noah (his best friend since the first day of kindergarten) to learn guitar so that the two could start a group. "Casey eventually started playing with us too, and ever since then I've only been in bands with the two of them," Sam notes.
In 2006, the three moved from Ithaca to New York City so that Sam and Noah could attend the New School while Casey worked as a piano tuner. Within the first month of college Sam and Noah met Adam in the freshman dorms, learned he was a drummer, and slipped a demo under his door in a successful attempt to lure him into the band. With the lineup complete (Sam on vocals and guitar, Noah on lead guitar, Casey on keyboards, Adam on drums), X Ambassadors began playing local gigs and writing material for their debut album. Then, just before the band was scheduled to begin recording, a lifelong medical condition left Casey in urgent need of a kidney transplant. With both his brother and mother (who volunteered one of her kidneys) recuperating from the transplant, Sam began working on a new batch of songs, including a fierce yet tender ballad that would emerge as the title track on X Ambassadors' debut.
Released in early 2012, Litost soon caught the ear of the program director for Norfolk, Virginia-based radio station 96x. After hearing "Litost" on a friend's Spotify playlist, the PD threw the song into heavy rotation and quickly drew a rabid response from listeners. Beating out heavy-hitters like Fun. and Of Monsters and Men, "Litost" ended up emerging as 96x's number-one song of 2012. In the meantime, X Ambassadors began opening for the likes of the Lumineers and Imagine Dragons, as well as scoring slots on the lineups of such festivals as Lollapalooza.
X Ambassadors' commitment reflects an unfailing belief in the unifying power of music. Noting that the band's small-town beginnings infinitely inform their output, Sam points out that "all those middle-school dances where they played Ginuwine and Ol' Dirty Bastard and all different kids would just come together and dance" have proved to be one of his most formative musical experiences. "It's always been my goal to make music that's unique and personal and completely true to who we are, but in a way that's got a very communal feeling to it, that can be shared with everyone," he says. "If a song's melodies can feel perfectly formed but also natural, where you're feeling it so much that everyone else can't help but feel it too, then that's just beautiful."

Q: Our community (Cumberland) switched from recycling bins to 65-gallon barrels last year. We used four bins, which often overflowed. The new barrels are collected by trucks with mechanical arms and, among other benefits, seem to keep our street cleaner after recycling pickup.
A: Congratulations to Cumberland (and to East Providence, Burrillville, North Kingstown, Pawtucket, East Greenwich, and Smithfield) for joining the ranks this year of automated collection communities!
The large, lidded, wheeled carts make recycling easier for the homeowner and help guarantee cleaner, more valuable recyclables for the town. I�m happy to hear that even your large 65-gallon cart seems to fill to capacity each week.
Regarding the question �to flatten or not to flatten,� the answer is, it depends. For all cardboard boxes, including cereal, pasta, shoe, and other dry goods, YES please do flatten them, but there is no need to further tear the boxes. In fact, larger pieces of cardboard work better in the sorting process. Flattening helps the cardboard box behave like sheets of paper, which is needed for proper sorting. The sorting screens� disks spin quickly and �walk� the paper over the top, allowing containers to roll back and fall through the spaces in the screens.
This is why the answer for soda cans, milk jugs, etc., is NO. Please do not flatten or completely crush containers. If your cart is crunched for space, containers may be pinched but not flattened. They need to be as 3-D as possible in order to roll back and not behave like paper.
Think about it � if you flatten a can or jug, it will look like a piece of cardboard. The sorting screens will agree and will allow the plastic or metal to travel over the top of the screens. This will cause contamination of the paper and cardboard, leading to lower prices for Rhode Island�s recyclables. The profit from each ton of properly prepared recyclables is split 50-50 with the cities and towns. The more Cumberland recycles, the greater the town�s share of the profit. But in order to maximize this profit, the recyclables must be clean, empty and dry. Keeping containers whole allows them to be sorted properly, and receive the highest value.

Hey guys...first post on macrumors and I have a serious problem. As I type this post up, I can only see about 2/3 of my screen. The bottom 1/3 of the screen is just not working. Below are three pictures showing how and where the screen doesn't work. Please help me figure out what the exact problem is so that maybe I can fix it myself. Don't have apple care so all repairs are out of pocket (would rather fix myself than pay double or triple the amount to have apple do it).
Let me know if you guys need any other info.
have you tried connecting it to an external monitor?
no...will try right now and let you know what happens.
Definitely looks like it could possibly be related to the invidia 8600 defects, for which Apple has just extended the warranty to 3 years. Go the Apple Store and let them take a look.
Just hooked it up to an external monitor and it works like a champ.
Hey man any chance you have any links to the extended warranty info? Want to take a look at it before I make a trip down to the apple store (like to be knowledgeable about stuff I'm talking about).
bump...anyone know where I can find info on that extended warranty?
Apple should take care of you.
Thank you so much...I think my laptop applies in this group of messed up laptops...got an appointment for Wednesday, hopefully all ends well.


It's a fact: there's no such thing as a high quality, high thread count sheet set that retails for $150.00.
One solid-color queen size sheet requires at least 8 yards, using the U.S. Standard of 54 inches per yard width. At $5.00 a yard, that comes out to a whopping $40.00 per sheet. Double that for two sheets, add two standard pillowcases requiring another three yards of fabric, and the sheet set now already costs $95.00 in raw materials alone, excluding overhead costs such as equipment and labor for sewing, ironing, packaging and shipping.
This exercise quickly shows that in order for manufacturers to sell sheet sets at low prices, they must first start with sub-standard quality cotton. For consumers, it means you will indeed get what you pay for. The bottom line is: cheap prices = inferior linens almost always, and are never a "good deal".
To illustrate further with this little-known fact: it takes a solid week, working an eight hour shift five days a week, for a single factory worker in Italy to complete ONE sheet set that includes embroidery or lace, even with using state-of-the-art weaving machines.
How can sheet sets be sold so cheaply by discounters who also claim high thread counts? Besides using inferior cotton, they rely on cheap overseas labor, weaving and finishing short cuts and tricks, and/or all of the above.
How do you know you're getting good quality sheets besides comparing prices?

In the early 1870s, William H. Gleason and William H. Hunt moved up the bay from Miami and founded the community of Biscayne. They brought with them the Miami Post Office, renaming it the Biscayne Post Office. Since the Dade County Court was wherever Gleason was, Biscayne was often the county seat and the meeting place of the county commission. Ephraim T. Sturtevant, Andrew Price, Edward Barnott and Dr. Richard B. Potter were other settlers of Biscayne. One early visitor was Julia Tuttle, the daughter of Sturtevant and the "Mother of Miami." By the 1880s, many of the early residents were gone and the post office was closed in 1888.
Activity was renewed in Biscayne in 1892 with the building of the first county road, from Lantana to Lemon City, through Biscayne, and the post office was reopened. Later a railroad depot and a school were built. In the 1920s, Miami Shores was developed where the community of Biscayne once stood.


NBA All-Star Weekend 2012 officially kicks off Friday in Orlando. Here's a schedule of all the top-tier All-Star Weekend events.
Usually known as the Rookie/Sophomore Game, the 2012 edition of the Rising Stars Challenge is different because TNT analysts Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley selected the rosters from a pool of the top first- and second-year players. Reigning Rookie of the Year winner Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin headline Team Shaq. Top overall draft choice Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers and versatile big-man DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings anchor Team Chuck.
All-Star Saturday Night opens with the Haier Shooting Stars, which pits the defending champion Team Atlanta against Team Orlando, Team New York, and Team Texas.
The next event is the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, in which six of the league's top point guards battle to complete an obstacle course that tests their dribbling, passing, and shooting ability. Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors, the defending champion, will take on Irving, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs, John Wall of the Washington Wizards, Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Deron Williams of the New Jersey Nets.
The Foot Locker Three-Point Contest follows the Skills Challenge in which Magic forward Ryan Anderson will challenge the defending champion James Jones of the Miami Heat. Other competitors include Mario Chalmers of the Miami Heat, Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City, Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Anthony Morrow of the New Jersey Nets. Durant replaces Atlanta Hawks swingman Joe Johnson, who will sit out the contest due to injury.
The Sprite Slam Dunk Contest concludes All-Star Saturday Night. This year's dunk showdown features four players who have never before competed; it's all fresh faces. Also, the dunk contest will debut a new, one-round format in which each competitor has the opportunity to execute three dunks. The field is Chase Budinger of the Houston Rockets, Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz, Paul George of the Indiana Pacers, and Derrick Williams of Minnesota. Evans replaces Knicks rookie Iman Shumpert, who had to bow out of the competition due to injury.
The main event of the weekend finally tips Sunday evening. Magic center Dwight Howard, the leading vote-getter among all players, will start for the East, while Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant will tie a record for consecutive All-Star appearances with 14.

In this tutorial, I will tell you how to create connection with MySQL database in Node.js.
To start with MySQL in Node.js you need to install node-mysql module via npm and then load MySQL module via require.
You can perform CRUD operations easily by using node-mysql driver in Node.js because it provides all most all connection and query from MySQL.
After successfully running above command we create connection with MySQL database.
You will get connection id if successfully connected with database.
end() method determine that all queries are executed before closing the connection request to the mysql server.
destroy() method terminate the connection immediately and after destroy() method, no any events will be triggered for the connection.
end() method takes a callback argument but destroy() method does not.
Now I am going to run select query to get all records from table in Node.js app.
First create a database 'test' and create a table 'users' within test database.
You will get last inserted id by running above code.
Now i update the record similarly when i run update query then we will get the affected number of rows.
Similarly run delete query to delete record from table.
Now you know how to perform simple crud query in Node.js and MySQL. You can run nested query in same way such join two tables to get records.

Could the Italian legend still be effective in England?
With speculation continuing to suggest that Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo could be on his way to the Premier League next summer as reported by Eurosport, there are sceptics who would argue that such a move would result in a disappointing end to his career.
The Italian international is set to see his current deal with the Turin giants expire in June, and with talks being delayed until next year it is uncertain as to whether or not he will remain in Italy.
The 34-year-old is undoubtedly one of the finest midfielders to ever grace the game, but considering his advanced years, would he be such a success in a more fast-paced and frenetic environment?
While the Premier League obsession to bring all the top names and finest players to England explains why the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham have been credited with an interest, for the man nicknamed 'l'architetto', it could spell disaster.
Perhaps a move to Chelsea with Carlo Ancelotti in 2009 would have been the ideal time to venture outside of the Italian borders for a European experience, but years on this isn't the same Pirlo.
The World Cup winner still possesses both the vision and ability to pick out team-mates with passes that others are unable to even see, but his stamina and fitness levels are questionable.
When Antonio Conte arrived as the new coach of the Bianconeri in 2011, his objective was straight-forward. With no European football as a distraction, Juve were entirely focused on Serie A and Pirlo would have an entire week to rest between games.
The pair went on to lift the Scudetto without losing a single game, and repeated their achievement last year although there were early warning signs that perhaps the midfield metronome wouldn't be able to maintain his brilliance throughout an entire year.
With Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal lightening the load, there is no question that Pirlo is still captivating to watch. However, in a new environment with little time to rest and collect his thoughts combined with incessant harassing on the ball, a move to England has perhaps come too late.
Inter Milan are reportedly interested as they benefit from the Erick Thohir takeover this week, while Clarence Seedorf and Alessandro Del Piero will support options outside of Europe.
Regardless of the decision Pirlo takes he will forever be remembered in the history of the beautiful game, but it may not be such a beautiful ending to the story were he to choose England.

Often books speak of other books. Often a harmless book is like a seed that will blossom into a dangerous book, or it is the other way around: it is the sweet fruit of a bitter stem. In reading Albert, couldn't I learn what Thomas might have said? Or in reading Thomas, know what Averroës said?
Until then I had thought each book spoke of the things, human or divine, that lie outside books. Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books: it is as if they spoke among themselves.
In the light of this reflection, the library [the Aedificium] seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those who had produced them or had been their conveyors.
While blogs sometimes do and sometimes don't survive the death of their creators, this reminds me of the blogging community: We reblog or quote from each other, discuss what we've quoted or reblogged, and expand on what we've read with our own observations and experiences.
Not only do we promote other blogs this way, and also our own blogs through pingbacks which appear on those other blogs, but we join a worldwide conversation.
Sometimes, an author removes a blog. So those quotes on other blogs become all that's left of it–just as Eusebius, who quoted from other works in his church histories, became the only source of those works when the originals were lost to time.
Our community becomes the World Wide Web version of the library in The Name of the Rose, as our blogs "murmur" to each other long past publication dates.


Living Stone Faith: Do You Know the Significance of the Number 12 in the Bible?
Do You Know the Significance of the Number 12 in the Bible?
Signs occur throughout the Bible. One of the greatest of all scriptures is in Luke 2:12 "This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger."
What a glorious sign that was for those shepherds that night.
But what about the number 12 and its significance in the Bible? Do you know how many times it is used and why?
All of these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them, giving each the blessing appropriate to him.
He appointed twelve that they might be with him that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons. These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter) James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means "sons of thunder"), Andrew Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
... On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
...and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Twelve times the number twelve is mentioned in the Bible.
So, why did Jesus only choose twelve apostles or disciples? Why were there only twelve tribes of Israel?
Did Jesus choose these men because of their faith? No, their faith faltered many times. He didn't choose them because of any special talent or abilities. They had no more leadership capabilities than any other man at that time. Then what was it about them?
They all shared one quality. A willingness to obey Jesus. Being a good disciple is simply a matter of following Jesus with a willing heart. Do you have a willing heart? Could you drop all your possessions and follow Jesus at a moment's notice?
So, why the number twelve?
Twelve is both literal and symbolic. There were twelve tribes and twelve apostles, however the number twelve also symbolizes the fullness and completeness particularly when it refers to the relationship between God and His people.
So, next time you are thinking about how you can fulfill your duties for Christ, don't discredit yourself for what you lack, or think of qualities you don't have. Obedience to Jesus and a willing heart is all you need.
Can you think of any better reason?


Currently, one of the world's largest production facilities for aluminum flats is taking shape in Tianjin. Already up and running are the hot and cold rolling mills of the first construction stage, supplied completely by SMS group. They went into operation in 2015. Included in the new supply scope are two CRMs, chosen by our customer because they are ideal for hard aluminum grades.
The CRMs have the same basic design, but will be utilized for different strip widths. Both operate with our X-Pact Alucontrol electrical and automation system.

Tech in 2021: The Trends You Need to Know About
by Event Manager January 20, 2021
At the start of 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus changed the way we think about technology forever. Technology, undoubtedly, became one of the most important aspects of our lives last year. From adapting to a new way of working from home using Microsoft Teams, or logging onto the latest family Zoom call – these tech trends became the 'new norm' for many.
Not only did technology play an integral part in helping the world adapt and face new challenges brought on by the global pandemic, but it allowed many businesses to remain open. Now more than ever, people rely on virtual interactions with colleagues, customers, and family and friends, and technology will continue to be the driving force behind these businesses and social relations.
What will the customer experience look like in 2021? For many businesses, a new digital strategy is already in place. We should anticipate that the latest tech trends are here to stay from remote working and video conferencing to productive smartphone applications and the latest virtual reality developments. These are just some of the tech trends we can expect to see in 2021.
Remote working and videoconferencing
Online messaging platforms and videoconferencing software have played a key role in keeping people connected. Businesses can conduct employee meetings, children can access schoolwork from home, and those who are isolated can contact others. Without these tools, many companies would have collapsed, education would have come to a standstill, and peoples mental health might have suffered more than it needed to. By carrying on as 'normal', albeit remotely, people could communicate as effectively and safely as possible as the world experienced several lockdowns.
For those who managed to avoid using a webcam or online messaging service prior to the pandemic, you'll undoubtedly be up to speed with Microsoft Teams, Google Hangouts, and Zoom to name just a few of the videoconferencing systems that have been instrumental for remote work across the globe.
These tools help employers manage their teams through virtual meetings, and have the features to track documents and keep communication lines open. As we enter 2021, the virtual office space is here to stay for the time being and will more than likely remain well into the future.
A virtual world
Virtual reality (VR) technology has been around for some time, used in pilot training schools, the gaming industry, medicine, and now more commonly in the stock and property markets. This type of technology has taken industries to the next level and allowed work to continue throughout lockdown. A virtual world can create content and provide information in real-time, allowing people to interact and experience things as if they were there. VR technology has helped to prevent markets from crashing. With compatible VR headsets, people can continue with studies and investments. Companies such as RWinvest have been using VR technology to plan and showcase potential property investments to clients looking to invest in their future.
Getting the most out of smartphone applications
The majority of people who own a mobile phone will have numerous smartphone apps installed on their device. Whilst these applications are typically used to communicate; there are other, more productive ways we could be using them. With economic turmoil set to continue in 2021, people may become more aware of their financial situations. By downloading and using smartphone apps to cut costs, save, and perhaps invest, people are opening up the doors to a more secure future. Money making apps are becoming increasingly popular, especially as we move to a world of contactless banking, but even more so with ambitious individuals looking to use technology to their advantage.

Being Frank: The 7th Inning Stretch
Today is the 25th May. On 31st, the book closes on the crowdfunding effort to support the production of a definitive film about the genius we know as Frank Sidebottom.
In three weeks, almost £30,000 has been raised towards Steve Sullivan's project, spanning the period when a teenage Chris Sievey camped in the lobby of Apple, then to the legendary Freshies, and on to his best-known and most productive persona, Frank Sidebottom. The support this project has attracted is amazing, but again demonstrates the affection and love Chris retains - a statue (left) is due to be unveiled in fantastic Timperley in the next couple of months, paid for by subscription and fundraising. When the great man passed, his fans paid to give him the send-off he deserved. And now, three years after his desperately sad loss, two major projects are close to being realised.
Steve Sullivan's 'Being Frank' is, to me, the most important. This is no flight of fancy, no Hollywood A-lister with a big head on. This project captures the work of an artist to whom punk gave a voice, but for whom, technology offered an outlet. I've noted before, the records, books, art, the animation, the TV programmes, the music. A renaissance man, despite knowing his mum would go up the wall and across the ceiling if she stumbled upon his secret showbiz career.
If this comes off, you'll see Chris Sievey discuss his computer game programmes on the Old Grey Whistle Test. You'll see Frank hold his own with Alf Garnett in Talking Turkey, a 'spirit of Xmas' thing Channel 4 did when they were edgy and relevant. You'll see The Freshies reunited, Frank's greatest fans talking about him and his work; this project is the once-and-for-all chronicle of a life in art. Some footage is already in the can, and a new trailer is available here...
Frank fans who want this film made have come across with an eye-popping offer as part of the stretch-funding appeal on Kickstarter. Prints of some iconic Frank street art, uber-rare posters from his contribution to a Chelsea Art Space installation in 2010; tee-shirts, music, stuff. All these people want his work documented. All of them are giving way stuff to entice you into supporting this project. Every extra pound helps towards licencing a bit of Frank TV history to share.
And I'm still offering stuff here. Until the appeal shuts down, be first to donate £75 (down from £100 at the beginning of May) and I'll give you a signed CD, and some other rare Frank stuff. Just message Steve Sullivan via Kickstarter and tell him you supported the film after reading my blog, and he'll pass me your details. First person to tell him gets the schwag. Likewise, if you already gave and can double your donation, don't change your funding tier, but message Steve, tell him you're doing it because of this blog, and I'll send you rare Frank stuff. This is all on top of the amazing freebies you'll get anyway for backing the project.
Almost a thousand people have chipped in around £30K to see this film get made. If everybody who already donated can up their support by 25%, chances are that £40K target can be met by Thursday. I'm going for it, and I hope you can too.
You know you can, you really can.

"There Are Planners, Plodders And Plonkers..."
Thus spake the bloke who, in 1998, delivered defensive driving training to a bunch of Facilities staff, of whom I was one. He was talking about road sense, but I think it's a benchmark you can apply in a whole range of environments.
So, then. London's Brewing. The successor to the directly-arranged and run London Brewers' Showcase event from 2010 and 2011. Not an LBA-organised event, strictly speaking. The LBA brand underpins this festival, but the London's Brewing thing is London Fields, not the LBA. Important to note this for what comes later.
It was clear that the upstairs at Vinopolis couldn't have coped with 40 brewers, so faced with choices which, I am told, were either no fest or this one, the LBA sanctioned London Fields to organise something at their event space. PR and branding were sorted, speakers arranged, beer ordered, tickets sold. I was one of the bloggers asked by the PR lot to preview and cover the event. A couple of tickets offered as recompense. Discounts promoted and a few days before the fest Trade Day, it was a sell-out. All good.
Then we get to the trade day. A harbinger of the catastrophe to follow. Opening delayed by an hour. I go to The Cock Tavern and wait until after 2pm. Hardly any beer available until the second bar was finished, cellar services lads complaining they'd done a week's work in two days to set up Bar Two, the larger of the spaces. Bar One runs out before 3pm, so it's 20-odd beers available for around an hour before they close at 4pm. It's clear there's a lot to sort out before the big public launch on Saturday...
The weather is rubbish as I get to London Fields after midday. It's not looking good. You can read twitter (#londonsbrewing for a sample) and CAMRGB or Matt Curtis for more contemporaneous accounts and different experiences, but the doors didn't open until 1245, and the queue had hardly moved 30 minutes later. People who had been on line before midday were leaving, complaining that (again) only the smaller bar was open. Bar Two didn't open until 2.15, but by then I was one of the disgruntled camped in The Cock Tavern. Rich Burhouse from Magic Rock was there, his day wasted by accepting an invite to judge beer that the organisers couldn't identify. Brewers from London, muttering about the piss-poor organisation, ticket-holders who'd queued long enough to get money back, alarmed by the reports from inside.
I was due to go and cover that session, but there was no point. The steady stream of disaffected drinkers and brewery people told me everything I needed to know. And a bit of gentle scratching at the surface revealed a lot of disquiet, something that I'd picked up on earlier in the week.
So, to the aftermath. Fingers will get pointed. I've seen the fest described as the London Brewers Alliance fest. Not to split hairs, but they don't 'own' London's Brewing. That's a separate delivery vehicle for this fest, which I believe is owned by London Fields. However, this is not to excuse the LBA from some culpability. They don't have a process for oversight and assurance which would have tested the model for this fest. So a learning point must be to acquire or develop a planning or project model that does cover this, as well as issues like risk appetite.
Despite this, LBA can't have had any clue about what was in store on Friday lunchtime, but London Fields could have, and they should have been flagging it, seems to me. Their twitter feed refers to 'left-field issues' or 'outside issues', but is anybody clear what they are? Although they hold events at their 'space', I'm not clear if they've ever run a beer festival in there, and that's what I'd have wanted to know if I was the LBA. Reports highlight the poor door management (tickets not scanned, so who was controlling numbers?); lack of readiness of bars (what happened to the rest of the 20 beers put on sale late on Bar Two on Friday?); mislabelling of beers - unforgiveable; overcrowding - there must be a safe limit on numbers, was it observed by controlling ticket numbers for each session?
And then, the fact that the space simply wasn't big enough. Seems to be that LBA need to speak to an events organiser to see what kind of workable model can be developed. Others have observed that this could significantly up ticket prices, but it's clear that, when punters could find it on the bar and correctly labelled, the beer was the least of the problems. If I was the LBA, I'd be asking London CAMRA for advice. Like 'em or loathe 'em, they know beer festival planning and delivery back to front.
If you rotate the logo, it looks like drinkers are being flipped the bird
Who are the planners, plodders and plonkers here? I can't say there was very much planning evident, certainly none that could be defended with credibility. The plodders and plonkers? London Fields certainly don't come out of this well. A case of reach exceeding grasp? LBA need to protect their brand. We need a body which speaks for London brewing, but maybe they also need to look at themselves and work out whether, with so many members now, their own structure is robust enough. This weekend will likely leave a reputational stain on the LBA, and, I assume, a hole in London's Brewing's pocket. I could be generous and say that everybody will learn from this, but in the meantime London will get a reputation for not being able to, erm... organise a piss-up in a brewery. Must do better.

Oh, Blimey! Being Frank...
Long-time readers of this blog will know I'm a big fan of Frank Sidebottom. The Bard of Timperley (or, correctly, his alter ego Chris Sievey) passed in 2010, but his fans haven't forgotten him. There have been exhibitions, music fests and fundraisers. Plans seem well-advanced for raising money to pay for a statue in Timperley, and former Oh! Blimey Big Band member Jon Ronson is one of the creative forces behind a new film called 'Frank', which will star Michael Fassbender, shown below as the eponymous lead.
The big news today, though, is the launch of a crowdfunding drive for a much more relevant project, Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story.
Visioned by filmmaker Steve Sullivan, it's a feature-length documentary covering the varied and fascinating career of one of Britain's most creative and overlooked artists. As well as unknown and lost footage of Frank Sidebottom, Sullivan has been able to reunite post-punk band The Freshies (remember 'I'm In Love With The Girl On the Virgin Manchester Megastore Checkout Desk'?) to talk about their work; there's interviews with his family, long-term sidekick Dave Arnold (whom I once watched as he struggled in vain to flush poster paint out of the sandstone facade of the Chelsea Art Space), and features on Sievey's work as an animator. He's been shooting footage since last autumn, interviewing fans and generally joining up a highly unusual arrangement of dots to bring a full appreciation of this body of work to a wider audience.
Having gone as far as possible, Steve is now reaching out to fans, asking them to back the project through Kickstarter. He's aiming to raise at least £20,000 by the end of May, and there are some excellent incentives to back the film, even if you aren't a fan of Sievey's work. Amazingly, the project is already halfway to the target in the first day, but the word needs to be spread which is why I'm writing this. I don't think 'genius' is too strong a word to use to describe Chris Sievey. An excellent musician, illustrator and animator, to me he wasn't just technically gifted, he expressed a peculiarly non-linear worldview through his art, as evidenced in the fully-realised Frank's World he formed around his best-known creation.
As mentioned, Steve Sullivan is offering some nice rewards to backers of Being Frank, and I'm going to sweeten the pot. That's right. The first of my readers to pledge £100 (and you'll need to prove it - email from Steve perhaps) will get some Sidey stuff from my own collection, some of it signed, all of it hard-to-find. I'm thinking a CD, postcard from the Frank's World DVD or similar. The Kickstarter page is here, and you can visit the film's website to download this poster which you can share online or print out and display.
This Is From The 'Frank' Film...
It won't be bobbins, little frank. It'll be ace, fantastic and top. I think about the films they made about Manchester contemporaries of Sievey. It took over 20 years to get Joy Division on the silver screen. The idea of getting Chris Sievey's work out a few years after his passing doesn't make up for the loss, but the belated appreciation of a genius deserves to succeed. So help it to succeed already!

A simple highly sensitive, rapid, precise, accurate and specific RP-HPLC method was developed for quantification of eflornithine hydrochloride (2-difluoromethyl-DL-ornithine; DFMO) in its commercial formulation. In this RP-HPLC method, the separation was performed using BDS Hypersil 5µ C18 (150 X 4.6 mm) column at room temperature by using methanol: 2% of Glacial acetic acid in water (80:20 v/v) as mobile phase. The flow rate was 0.8 mL min-1 with UV detection at 290 nm. The retention time of DFMO was 4.3. Linearity was observed over concentration range of 50-100 µg mL-1 for DFMO. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.008438 µg mL-1 and 0.028126 µg mL-1 respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was determined by recovery studies and found to be 100.5 % for DFMO. The proposed method was validated for ICH guidelines like linearity, limit of detection, accuracy, precision, ruggedness, robustness, and system suitability.

Bergen-Belsen was a concentration camp created by the Nazi regime. Located in Germany, the camp operated between 1940 and 1945 and more than 50,000 prisoners, the majority of which were Jewish, were murdered there. The camp was liberated by the British Army on April 15, 1945.
Many refugees spent years awaiting their relocation after the war. Bergen-Belsen was one of the concentration camps converted into a displaced persons camp to accommodate them. Professional training classes were given by ORT, the "Organization for Rehabilitation through Training", to prepare survivors for their return to a normal life.
Sara Ostrzega, Kopel Orner's daughter, donated this photograph to the Montreal Holocaust Museum in 1990.

It has taken some time for me to become accustomed to the many, wonderful and intense celebrations that decorate the Italian Calendar. Some are only recognizable because of the food that is available, whilst others dominate the whole city for days at a time. And in amongst all this, Easter is somewhere in between. It is a time that everyone respects as a time of tranquillity happiness and a well-deserved feast as it is held after the severe days of Lent. However, at the heart of it you can still feel Italies strong religious faith, and fundamental it is a religious holiday.
What is important to remember at this time of year, is that if you have practised self-restraint throughout the whole of Lent, (after a liberating carnival of course) you will be pining for all the things you have been missing; chocolate, meat, wine etc.
Therefore, the days prior to Easter, when the shop owners begin to decorate the windows with giant and colourful chocolate eggs, can be some of the toughest of the whole lent. …..But it also means that Easter Monday really is worth celebrating.
This marks the beginning of the Celebrations in Italy, but shops, transport and unfortunately work, still continue as normal. In most Italian cities there is a church service on Good Friday that takes place in the evening, and although it is typically slightly more special than the everyday mass it is only the buildup to Sundays Mass. Walk around in the evening on this day, and you feel the excited atmosphere and beautiful decorations.
Sunday in Venice, sees many people travelling for long distances to take part in the atmosphere and attend one of the Masses, the largest of which of course is held in San Marco's Basilica. This is free to attend but can often be hard to have any space. Therefore, if you are planning to attend a Mass on Sunday, it may be worth seeing which is the local one in relation to your Truly Venice Apartment.
The traditions of this day, literally translated to mean 'Little Easter', have developed in a lovely and organic way. Often if family and friends had come into the larger cities to be a part of the larger ceremonies they will would remain together also for the Monday. There would also commonly be left over food from the series of feasts of the previous days.
Therefore, Monday is a day with family and friends, where all the leftovers and more are eaten in a very low key, relaxed manner. Typically taken outside so they can make the most of the first days of Spring.
In terms of picnicking, just like everything else in Venice, Venetians have a slightly different version of this. Parties will head out in boats, with picnics on board and either set up camp on a favourite island or simply choose a calm spot in the middle of the lagoon where they will drop anchor and take the first dip of the season. (the brave ones will). For this reason the culinary traditions around this holiday have evolved to be fairly portable, but never the less still delicious.
What is eaten and why?
Lamb is traditionally eaten often during this period for two reasons, firstly, because it is the time of year when lambs are in season, secondly because of the symbolic reference to Jesus as the 'lamb of God'.
Unlimited eggs; during holy week, traditionally eggs are not supposed to be eaten. However, considering hens are still laying eggs by the end of the week there is an excess which makes its way into almost everything. This is also where the origins of egg painting, now carried out by excited kids. In order to recognize which eggs were hatched during the Holy Week they were painted red to represent Christs blood.
Using the first asparagus of spring, typically the prized white ones from Bassano with their distinct flavor, but the green ones also pair very well with the creamy eggs sauce. A combination of hardboiled eggs and olive oil are mixed roughly together.
Hop shoots – the tips of the hop plant which are readily available in the Venetian countryside at this time of year and sold on the street corners in Venice – but you can substitute them for any seasonal shoots or roots, which are abundant in Spring.
Lamb is a must all over Italy as well as much of the rest of the world, but in the North they tend to cook it with polenta and local vegetables such as radicchio or potatoes.
Fairly similar to a Panatone at Christmas, La Colomba di Pasqua is made with flour, egg, sugar, butter and decorated with almonds and candied fruit. Most importantly however, it is fashioned into the shape of a dove.

March certainly is going out like a lion, with a ton of rain and maybe SNOW tonight (eek!) but above all, I can't believe the month is over!!! March was jam packed with events for work, celebrating birthdays, and hanging out with friends.
Saint Patrick's Day was quiet but I found out we have the coolest crossing guard ever in our town.
I took some corny selfies to show off my Irish.
We had some very pretty, albeit late in the season, snow.
Luna enjoyed the growing daylight hours by lounging on the radiator a whole lot.
And Abby continued being Abby, trying to take over the couch (and ignoring personal space).


An HMM-based algorithm for evaluating rates of receptor-ligand binding kinetics from thermal fluctuation data.
Abrupt reduction/resumption of thermal fluctuations of a force probe has been used to identify association/dissociation events of protein-ligand bonds. We show that off-rate of molecular dissociation can be estimated by the analysis of the bond lifetime, while the on-rate of molecular association can be estimated by the analysis of the waiting time between two neighboring bond events. However, the analysis relies heavily on subjective judgments and is time-consuming. To automate the process of mapping out bond events from thermal fluctuation data, we develop a hidden Markov model (HMM)-based method.

Microsoft to Start Removing Cloned, Spam Windows 8, 10 Apps from the Store
One of the most annoying things when searching for Windows 8 apps in the Windows Store is that you find so many spam and utterly useless apps that are no good at all. Most of them are either copied or simply represent "junk" apps. Apparently, Microsoft will start the fight against them.
The above screenshot represents the search results when you try to find the Instragram app for Windows 8. Just like many other important apps, it hasn't been officially released by Instagram, but there are many third-party developers who take advantage from this and release their own apps, hopping to get as many downloads as possible. These are the so called Windows 8 spam apps and you will encounter them whenever you try looking for an important app that hasn't been yet released. And this scenario expands to games available in the Windows Store, as well.
Recently, the problem of spam and cloned apps from the Windows Store has been put into discussion recently when Jonathan Blow has called out a trio of Braid clones featured in the Microsoft Windows Store. The free games – "Breid," "Braidy Jump," and "Brady's Adventure" were even promoted by Microsoft's official Surface Twitter account.
The above-mentioned games are using assets which Blow created for Braid and this is a clear indication that Microsoft should improve the approval procedures for newly submitted Windows 8 apps. Speaking to the VG247 publication, Microsoft said that it will "act expeditiously" when it comes to developer complaints about games sold via its the Windows Store that may use, copy or clone content.
Microsoft respects the intellectual property rights of third parties and we ask that developers who distribute apps via our Store ensure their apps do not infringe the intellectual property of others. Microsoft provides an easy online process for developers to notify us if they believe their works are being infringed. Upon receipt of a complete notice, we act expeditiously to review the complaint and remove the app in appropriate circumstances.
I've just checked in the Windows Store and found out that all three games are still available for download, without any issues, at all. And they aren't even well-designed. Let's hope that Microsoft will start taking action and we will soon have a cleaner and more useful Windows Store.

About Spenser Spirit Hogans
Everyone that knew Spenser, would agree that he was a man of music and poetry, his love of art was deep and passionate and he could usually be found either writing some new music or doodling/writing poetry in one of his many notebooks.
Spenser's love of music started at a very early age. Playing his first "guitar" at 2 years old and the piano at "Grandma Presh's" house. After that, there was no stopping him! He learned to play the violin, clarinet, guitar, drums, and bass.
He and his friends started a band called "One Word Mary" in his garage in their very early teens. That band became "Three Man Cannon" and were together until Spenser's passing. He was asked a lot to sit in and or open up for bands including The Menzingers, Cherry, and Tigers Jaw. He wrote his own songs and put out solo albums under the names "Spider Kingdom" and "Early Animator" touring the United States and Europe.
Spenser was not only a great musician, singer, and songwriter, he was an inspiration to other musicians and encouraged them to be creative. Even if he didn't know them personally, he went out of his way to be supportive. Many people would not have kept pursuing their dreams if not for Spenser".

"Cell Church"
While churches have been around for a long time, the nature of church may be changing. What was important in the 1950's and even in the early 2000's may not be as important today. What we measure may be more indicative of who we are not rather than who we are. What is important about church today? What can we say about emerging changes in the nature of church today?

Civilisation hanging in the balance.
Ohio hawk the meaning behind this painting is a flat earth theory that interested me . I had done some research on the subject. Lots of interesting information about this out there. So I decided to paint it the way I thought would be inconspicuous to the people that had never given it any thought. Wouldn't it be interesting if what we were taught all or lives was a lie just to be able to have another form of control over us. This is the thought it had when I painted this piece. Thanks for your critique.

The promise of a 3G MacBook
One of the most exciting hardware rumors floating around the Internet these days is that Apple may include a 3G radio on the logic board of the MacBook. Well, that and the quad-core iPhone.
By Jason D. O'Grady for The Apple Core | January 30, 2009 -- 12:56 GMT (04:56 PST) | Topic: Mobility
On Wednesday AppleInsider noted that AT&T is exploring 3G data services for more than just the iPhone.
Sitting down with Fortune, AT&T's Emerging Devices group president Glenn Lurie says he would like his company's deals with Apple to extend beyond the iPhone, though he takes care to avoid implying any immediate collaboration on other hardware and portrays Apple as one of many device builders AT&T speaks with regarding future plans.
I thought that Apple was trying to cut costs by removing components from the logic board? Doesn't this go against that? And what about obsolescence? Will the MacBook's 3G chipset be able to keep up with 3G USB offerings from the other carriers? What then, is the benefit of including a 3G modem on the logic board?
That's right, Apple is believed to be researching subsidizing the price of the notebook in exchange for a two year 3G data contract. Fortune thinks that it could bring down the initial cost of a computer to as low as $99.
What do you think about having built-in 3G on the next MacBook would you buck up for the service?
