Steven L. Anderson is the senior pastor at Faithful Word Baptist Church, an Independent Baptist congregation in Tempe, Arizona. Anderson describes his style of preaching as "hard preaching," and he adopts a King James only position for his church as well as the usage of "classic hymns." The church describes itself as "an old-fashioned, independent, fundamental, King James Bible only, soul-winning Baptist church" on its website. Faithful Word Baptist Church believes in a post-tribulation return of Christ, which is different from most Baptist churches which believe in a pre-tribulation return.
Anderson has garnered criticism by the mainstream media for his strong stance against homosexuality, often calling the homosexuals "homos" in his sermons. After the Orlando nightclub shooting, Anderson said that there were fifty fewer pedophiles walking around and claimed that all homosexuals were pedophiles.  Anderson rejects the ex-gay movement because he adheres to the "reprobate doctrine" which says homosexuals cannot cease to be homosexual due to "reprobate mind," and seeks instead to kill homosexuals under what Anderson describes as a "righteous government." The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies Anderson's church as a "hate group."
A number of Christians have been critical of Anderson over his anti-Semitic comments, calling Jews "Jesus killers." Anderson has specifically called out televangelist John Hagee of San Antonio, Texas, for his views that Jesus Christ not a savior for the Jews.

The film opens with several news reports covering the events of the prior film. Through the reports, it is revealed that Baby, Otis, and Captain Spaulding miraculously survived their shootout with the police and that they will be tried for their crimes. The trial is widely covered nationwide and becomes a cause célèbre, resulting in the organization of protests that insist the trio's innocence. Numerous fanatics also adopt the chant "Free the Three", claiming that their crimes were committed as a means to fight against the system. Despite this, all three are found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. In addition to the final verdict, Captain Spaulding is executed via lethal injection. Otis' half-brother, Winslow Foxworth "Foxy" Coltrane, shows up to help Otis escape from prison while he is outside doing work on a chain gang. In the process, Otis kills Rondo, who was also on the chain gang after having been arrested some time after the end of the previous film and been sent to the same prison, but did not recognized Otis. Meanwhile, Baby unsuccessfully seeks parole, as her mental state has further deteriorated since her incarceration. Once free, Otis and Foxy begin planning to free Baby from prison. To accomplish this, they kidnap the family and friends of the prison's warden, Virgil Dallas Harper. Otis and Foxy demand that Harper help Baby sneak out of prison or they will murder everyone they hold hostage. Harper follows their commands and sneaks Baby out of prison by disguising her as a guard. However, once Baby is freed, Otis and Foxy decide to eliminate the loose ends and kill all the hostages, as well as Harper. Now united, the three are undecided as to what to do next but eventually decide to flee to Mexico, a decision that is made more pressing due to Baby's growing instability. Otis, Baby, and Foxy manage to successfully cross the border and flee to a small town in Mexico that is celebrating the Day of the Dead and hole up in the town's lone hotel. They briefly worry about being recognized but dismiss these concerns, unaware that the hotel's owner has in fact recognized them and has alerted Rondo's son, Aquarius, to their location. The owner keeps them occupied with both the celebration and local prostitutes, while Aquarius heads out to the location with several henchmen in tow. The following morning, Baby bonds with a local worker, Sebastian, who notices Aquarius's arrival. He warns Baby of the danger before running to warn Otis, just as Aquarius's men break into the whorehouse. Otis and Sebastian hold off the attackers until Foxy arrives and rescues them both. Otis separates from them, managing to successfully find the hotel owner and kill him. During this time, Baby manages to kill several of Aquarius's men using a bow and arrow set she took from Harper's house. Eventually, Foxy and Baby are outmatched by Aquarius and taken prisoner. During this, Aquarius tells Sebastian he's not worth the bullet and leaves him for dead. Aquarius and his remaining goons use Baby and Foxy to draw Otis out into the open. Otis appears, and squares off against one of Aquarius's men in a knife fight while Sebastian sneaks up and silently frees both Foxy and Baby. This enrages Aquarius, distracting his man in the knife fight and allowing Otis to gain the upper hand. He, Baby, and Foxy manage to overpower Aquarius, however Sebastian is shot and killed in the process. The film ends with the trio immolating Aquarius before walking off into the Mexican town. With House Of 1000 Corpses we have a retro, grindhouse throwback set in a house of a haunted nightmare world. With Devil's Rejects we are shifted into a western revenge movie with an "angel" (Officer Wydell) facing the devil's (The Fireflies). With this latest chapter, we are in shifted in the direction of a self-aware subsequent blend of the first two movies. Rob combined the brutality, and grittiness of Rejects, with the wacky, Retro stylish throwback of Corpses and thus summoned 3 From Hell. If you enjoy self-aware, brutal, grindhouse, action horror then you will love this addition. Everyone else will despise it for not being a serious follow up.

Newly elected to Congress, former local television news reporter Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) leaves his hometown of Buffalo, New York and moves to suburban northern Virginia, where his congressional campaign declares that he will change the world. Evan prays to God (Morgan Freeman) to give him this opportunity. On the other hand, his wife, Joan (Lauren Graham), expresses her concern about the new location and prays that she, Evan, and their three sons (Jimmy Bennett, Graham Phillips, and Johnny Simmons) will be closer together as a family. On the first day of his job, Evan is given a prime office space, where he is accompanied by his three congressional staffers, Rita, Marty, and Eugene (Wanda Sykes, Jonah Hill, John Michael Higgins), and invited to co-sponsor the Public Land Act bill with his boss, Chuck Long (John Goodman). Soon after Evan's arrival to Congress, six strange things start to happen around him: His alarm clock repeatedly goes off at 6:14 a.m. Ancient tools and gopher wood are delivered to his house. Pairs of animals simply follow Evan without any apparent reason (with birds even flying into his office through the window). Evan grows a beard that immediately reappears no matter how many times he shaves. Eight vacant lots in Evan's neighborhood are purchased in his name.The number "614" increasingly appears everywhere he goes. Evan soon learns that the number refers to the verse in the Book of Genesis, where God instructs Noah to build an Ark in preparation for a flood. God repeatedly appears in various guises before finally revealing himself to Evan, cordially insisting that Evan should build an Ark as well. God explains to Evan that a flood is coming, and that the only opportunity Evan will have to change the world is by saving his community instead. God also tells Evan to inform others about the flood should they ask him later. Evan's family initially believes that he is having a mid-life crisis. Later, his three sons suspect something greater is occurring and assist him, along with various animals, in the construction of the Ark, although Joan does not. The fully constructed ark is at the center of the image with a downcast sky. A large ramp on the left side of the image is leading up into the ark. In the foreground of the image is a paved street.
Animals eventually follow Evan to Congress. When Long discovers this, he allows Evan latitude at first, but warns him that he will no longer tolerate it if it happens again in the future. Meanwhile, Evan's staffers are outraged by his change in appearance and behavior. When Evan returns to the Ark, God presents him with a robe, and later tells him that the flood will likely come at midday on September 22. When Joan becomes suspicious of his behavior, Evan tells her the truth: God has been talking to him and is responsible for his new looks and recent actions, although Joan does not believe Evan and is convinced that he is beginning to lose his mind. After wearing the robe for some time, Evan finds it comfortable, but soon realizes that God will not allow him to take it off and wear anything else after two failed tries to change his clothes later. The next time Evan arrives at Congress, animals follow him once again. Once Evan finally explains his reason for this, his facial hair, and his robe, he is temporarily suspended from Congress after humiliating himself in front of many witnesses. Long later removes Evan from the Public Land Act bill that he is co-sponsoring with him. Joan watches the news on television and initially believes that Evan is going insane, and decides to return to her mother's home. Joan packs up her van and takes her sons to come with her, much to their reluctance. Evan deduces that God purposely had him suspended from Congress so that he would have more time to build the Ark, although Joan remains skeptical and departs. Evan decides to build the Ark alone, gaining media attention and public ridicule, as hundreds of animals assemble in pairs. Meanwhile, God appears to Joan as a waiter at a diner, wearing a name tag displaying "Al Mighty". In this guise, God listens to Joan as she picks up the newspaper she was reading and shows it to him, which mocks Evan and features him building the Ark. Joan explains that Evan claims that God asked him to do it, but she is concerned that Evan is only losing his sanity and allowing himself to become the laughingstock of the neighborhood. Sympathetic toward Evan, God tells Joan that perhaps it is an opportunity for him, and explains that he himself does not give things but only the opportunity by which to obtain things, citing togetherness of families as one of these things. Seeing God's meaning, Joan returns to Evan with new-found faith and helps him and the animals finish the Ark together in order to prepare for the flood. Meanwhile, word reaches Evan that Long has commissioned a dam and has cut corners in doing so. On September 22, Evan loads hundreds of animals onto the newly finished Ark in front of spectators and live news crews, who continue to mock him. Later, Long and the policemen arrive with a wrecking ball crew and try to destroy the Ark, since it violates numerous building codes. Minutes pass with no sign of rain, provoking spectator scorn. A large rainstorm does come, but it is brief. Joan asks Evan to leave the Ark and believes that maybe God did not mean a literal flood, but a metaphorical one. However, Evan witness Long's dam burst from the distance, causing all of the spectators, reporters, and policemen to immediately seek refuge in the Ark, which rides the flood through the streets and landmarks of Washington, D.C.. The Ark reaches its final destination in front of the Capitol, which disrupts the vote on the Public Land Act bill. Evan tells Long that the flood was caused by his poor design of the dam, which incites other Congressmen also present to turn against Long.
After Congress puts the Public Land Act bill on hold to investigate Long's defective dam and the animals returning to their natural habitat, Evan is given his job back with a promotion, and celebrates these events by finally shaving his beard, changing back into his regular clothes, and going on a long-promised hiking trip with his family. When God reappears once again during the hike, Evan is initially disappointed when he realizes that he never needed to build the Ark again in the first place, since the flood only happened because of Long's defective dam. However, God reassures Evan that he now has a perfect life as well as everything that he had originally prayed for, and that this would not have happened otherwise. Evan is happy to realize this, as God informs him that the right way to change the world is by doing one Act of Random Kindness (ARK) at a time. During the film's closing credits, God issues a new commandment to the outgoing audience: "Thou shalt do the dance", and later follow by the footage where the film's cast and crew dance to "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C+C Music Factory.
Evan Almighty is predictable on every turn, and has enough humor to satisfy. The animals do their part to provide a fair share of fecal humor. Morgan Freeman offers up plenty of wisdom in the role of God. Steve Carell does an exceptionally adequate job of delivering very humorous dialogue, which in his style is sure to be adlibbed in great part. The sheer amounts of animals in this film are overwhelming and a treat to behold. Overall the storyline and humor feel very cliché. Evan Almighty was a mild success, but just does not offer anything special apart from a few good laughs.

Q: How to install electron offline without github I try to install electron offline. I mean without github and internet access. I have jfrog artifactory for the electron package but the installation requires also binary data.
So i downloaded the zip file with the binary data and put it in the offline computer.
The zip file: electron-v12.0.0-win32-x64.zip
I follow the instructions in:
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/installation
But its very unclear!

*

*I dont have any site to mirror the zip, is there any other way to mirror from the computer and not from some sites?

*The second option is to put the zip in Cache file, but it requires a hash file. How do i generate it?

*What is the simplest way to install electron with downloaded zip?
Thanks in advance.

A: So to install electron offline, i recommend to do the following steps:
In computer with internet execute the command:
npm i electron

This will cache the electron.zip in your computer.
In my windows pc its located in:
C: \Users\baruch\AppData\Local\electron\Cache\some string

So copy to your offline pc all the electron\Cache directory. Everything there is important the Shasum256. txt etc
Now in the offline pc, when you try to execute npm i electron. It will go first to the cache. (You can check it without copy to offline pc, by simply turn your internet access to flight mode and see it will go to cache)
But the real solution need to be with mirroring.
Example for electron vesrion 13.1.2:
Go to github and download SHASUM256.txt and electron-v13.1.2-win32-x64.zip.
In jfrog artifactory create a "generic repository" for ex' called sandbox.
Inside sandbox create folder called electron, and inside electron create folder called v13.1.2.
Put the SHASUM256.txt and the zip file inside v13.1.2 folder.
Go to your project and create file called .npmrc and write there:
ELECTRON_MIRROR="http://artifacteoy site/sandbox/electron/

Be aware for the slash at the end.
Now type npm i electron, and it will download it.
Thats all.

A: I will answer your first question.
Even though you don't have a mirror site that does not mean that you cannot serve the file: electron-v12.0.0-win32-x64.zip.
What I ended up quickly doing is just to serve the file from localhost, by running a simple temporary http server using http-server. You can find it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server . You could use any http server you have access to, to serve localhost such nginx, apache2, or just node.js using the http package as described here: https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_http.asp
The http server should be running during the (post) installation of electron.
let's say you are using http-server. Now you need to make sure the file is in the correct folder, and you need to set the environment variables as described in https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/installation
export ELECTRON_MIRROR=http://localhost:8080/
export ELECTRON_CUSTOM_DIR=v12.0.0
export ELECTRON_CUSTOM_FILENAME=electron-v12.0.0-win32-x64.zip

the file should be in the folder v12.0.0. For example:
/var/www/v12.0.0/electron-v12.0.0-win32-x64.zip

and then you can start the server with:
$ http-server /var/www

What's a Dreaming Spires Course Like?
We've been running these courses so long, we sometimes forget to explain the basics. We think everyone knows that our courses always start the second week of September and finish the second full week of May, and last 30 weeks long.
We finish in mid-May because I like my summers!
We also think everyone knows that our courses are one hour of live instruction online each week: an extra half-hour on top of that if the course has an add-on extension.
Except for foreign language courses, the homework is usually four hours to be spread out over the whole week, and most of it is reading, the books for which are generally engaging living books: no textbooks here! The written part is fairly low key and graded on whether it's done or not - should the quality be less than amazing, we work with individual students to improve, but it doesn't affect their grade.
For foreign language, there's more conversation and practice partnerships than there is reading.
In every course, we bring our expertise and enthusiasm for a subject, and if students are struggling with a concept or are interested in exploring down a rabbit trail, we can slow down and address these desires. The syllabus has been created by ourselves so there's no hard-and-fast rule about what has to be covered on it, other than wanting to do justice to the subject by covering what should be covered for students to understand it best.
There is, however, no one right way to achieve it, but our tutors have a whole chest of tools to use along the way, and teaching students how to use them, too, is our ultimate objective.
It's that time again - time to grab one of the limited spots on our live, online courses for homeschooling teens worldwide.
The excitement is catching for students and parents!
Early Bird is a great time to register because you can save a spot for just the reservation fee of $40, and pay in installments for the remainder until 1st September 2019.
What's more, the price you're quoted is LAST year's price.
I've already mentioned how this is our biggest selection of subjects and courses yet, with new addition this year of geography, math, and art history, plus new courses from most of our instructors. In fact, I think I'm the only tutor who isn't adding a course this year!
This is how I feel about that!
Remember that we're happy to discuss anything about our courses that you're unsure of! Sign up today so you don't miss the chance for your teen to learn in a way that's unlike almost anything else out there!
New Video Series on Youtube to Introduce 2019-2020 course line-up!
Starting March the 12th, a Youtube series gets underway to give you a brief description of each of the courses we'll be running for next year.
The first session is just about the common attributes of all the courses, whether science, foreign language, history, etc. Following that, I'll look at each of the courses in turn.
Why not subscribe so you get the link sent straight to your inbox?
New Timetable, New Tutors, New Tabs - All NEW!
Today, we have revealed our timetable for 2019-2020, our new roster of tutors, and our FIVE new courses including three new subjects.
Have a browse around the new website and click all the buttons, and mark your calendar for the 15th of March when we start our Early Bird registration period.
Any questions, don't hesitate to contact us - there's a contact form in the sidebar (maybe more viewable on a computer than a phone), or pop over to the Dreaming Spires Home Learning Facebook page and message us.
At Dreaming Spires, we always take on a few new students after the Christmas holidays, slotting them cosily into our sociable and friendly courses when maybe their previous studies had become dry or boring, unmotivating, or perhaps not rigorous enough.
A student attends class in the airport!
We can do this because we run all our subjects on a modular or unit-based system. Sure, there will be a few things they missed from Autumn term, but all previous webinars and recordings are available should they feel the need to fill in the blanks.
So whether you want to add something like Spanish or French, delve deeply into the history of Ancient Rome or the complicated causes of World War 2, debate medical ethics in biology or the other sciences, write a stunning screenplay, or lay down foundations for great exam results by learning to read harder books and write solid essays, there's something for everyone at Dreaming Spires.
Course fees are reduced pro-rata, and jumping on now means a family can take advantage of the special pricing of our pre-registration period in April, when our current students can reserve places on courses that otherwise fill up fast.
Pop on over to our registration page to sign up today, or use the contact form to ask for further details.
OUT NOW!!! Shakespeare Copywork book.
I've been working on a copywork of Shakespeare plays and have now released the first volume with more planned in the future.
This one features Comedy of Errors and Richard III, two of my favourite plays. Not only do I select lines for copying, I also explain what they mean and how they're important to the play, then go on to talk about productions and films I've seen and what was memorable about them.
I have started using copywork in my local co-op for my teen group, and have found that they are able to understand the language so much better when giving it such careful, regular attention.
I did a live video on Facebook about Shakespeare's plays, thinking about which are appropriate for younger ages and which might be best to save till later or read only in story form.
Come over to https://www.facebook.com/dreamingspireshomelearning/ to join the conversation.
Our sister site at Dreaming Spires Revision offers short crammer courses to prepare for the 0500 English Language exam.


BEIJING – Two unidentified men have broken into the house of a Chinese lawyer jailed for helping Shanghai residents seek compensation for evictions, a human rights group said.
Soon after lawyer Zheng Enchong's wife had left the house to visit him in jail, two men forced their way in, Human Rights in China said in a statement received by Reuters on Friday. A family friend had seen the incident.
The men left after being challenged, the group said.
Zheng's wife contacted the police on getting home and they said they would investigate, but nothing more was heard from them, it added.
Zheng is serving a three-year sentence at Shanghai's Tilanqiao prison after being convicted of "illegally obtaining state secrets" in a closed-door trial in October 2003. He is due for release on June 5.
Amnesty International said last year it feared Zheng had been beaten in prison.
Zheng had helped Shanghai residents with a lawsuit accusing the city government of colluding with real estate tycoon Zhou Zhengyi, once one of China's richest men but later convicted and jailed for stock market fraud and falsifying documents.
In another case, Reporters Without Borders said a Chinese dissident jailed for writing essays critical of the Communist Party needed surgery for a slipped cervical disc and called on authorities to move him from prison to a hospital.
The People's Intermediate Court in the eastern province of Anhui sentenced the dissident, Zhang Lin, to five years in prison last July on charges of inciting subversion in six articles that he had posted on dissident news Web sites abroad.
In September Zhang was taken to hospital after a hunger strike to protest against his imprisonment, a rights group said.


The benefit of a divorce by publication is that a spouse's signature is not required. In a divorce by publication, a legal notice is published in a Virginia newspaper for four weeks. The court also mails a copy of the order of publication to the spouse's last known address. If the spouse does not respond by a certain date, the court will grant the divorce. A divorce by publication can be completed in as fast as 2.5 months.
You have lived in Virginia for the last six months.
(or six months if you already have a written and signed agreement).
Your spouse lives outside of the state of Virginia – in any other state or country; or you are unable to locate your spouse after making diligent efforts.
An uncontested Virginia divorce by publication can be accomplished either with a simple court appearance (in 2.5 months) or by affidavit (in 3.5 months).


Claiming SSS Disability benefits seems easy. Just fill-out and submit the needed documents and Voila!, You got your benefit.
But how is the actual experience in claiming it really like?
An OFW on vacation tried to apply for the disability benefit of her brother shared the actual experience she had. As she described it, it was like "passing through a needle eye."
3) You need to apply for an In-Trust-For (ITF) bank account.
- Picture of incapacitated relative holding a newspaper dated the same day that the bank application is made.
- Pictures of the patient and the claimant.
-Letter of Introduction from Social Security System (SSS).
and the address should be the same.
- Photocopy of the 2 valid IDs.
- Billing as proof of address under the name of the claimant.
Overall, claiming Disability Benefits from SSS is not that easy. To think that the OFW spent a lot of her time and money for her supposedly vacation, where she was expecting to get a rest after years of working abroad, was consumed by the claiming process.
The government must have a way to address this issue. For the SSS members who religiously settle their contributions, they deserve better services and claims process.

Q: SAP UI5 Formatter How can I get Cell Id? Normally the cell ID will be generated by
this.getId

The console writes: this.getId() is not a function
I have a Datepicker; there I make the formatter :
<m:DatePicker value="{
            path: 'items>Lfdat',
            type: 'sap.ui.model.type.Date',
            formatter: '.formatter.getColour',

I also can debug into the method getColour but I can't use this.getId().
Formatter.js looks this:
    getColour : function(sDate) {
      var cell = this.getId() // is not a function
    }

Does somebody have a clue how I can read the Id and so change the background colour ?

A: You are not getting id of Datepicker because in side Formatter.js this indicates the window object not the datepicker.
It is better to give an id to the date picker.
<m:DatePicker id="myDate" value="{
           ...

And then in Formatter.js
getColour : function(sDate) {
      var cell = sap.ui.getCore().byId("myDate");
      // now cell is the reference to your datepicker
    }

A: @Mario the formatter will not change format of the control, it is used only for the formatting the properties of the control.
I suggest
Instead of setting the background color for the table cell or DatePicker itself, can you use sap.ui.core.ValueState
<m:DatePicker value="2016-Jan-08" valueState="{
                        path : 'name',
                        formatter : '.validate'}"/>

and the validate function is written in controller as below
validate : function(name)
       {
           return sap.ui.core.ValueState.Error;
       }

A: @Tuhin, id won't help, because it is in table
@Mario
your "this" is the controller, not the cell control.
you can do this to achieve what you looking for if I understand u correctly
example is based on ui table. not m table.
 put the code in onInit
   var someColumn = this.getView().byId("someColumn");
                someTemplate = someColumn .getTemplate();
                someTemplate .bindProperty("someproperty", {
                    parts : [{
                        path : 'somepath'
                    }, {
                        path : 'somepath1'
                    }],
                    formatter : Util.yourformatter
                });

if you do like this, you will get the proper "this" you want in the formatter
added8.4
<m:DatePicker value="{
            path: 'items>Lfdat',
            type: 'sap.ui.model.type.Date',

FPC principal resigns to take state job
Shaun Ryan
sryan@staugustine.com
Flagler Palm Coast High School Principal Dustin "Dusty" Sims will have about a week to say hello and goodbye to students after accepting a job with the state Department of Education.
Sims' last day with Flagler Schools will be Aug. 17, according to a School District news release. The school year begins Friday for Flagler students.
Sims has been selected to become executive director for school improvement of the northeast region, the release states, where he will oversee a team providing support to district administrators, instructional coaches, and school leadership teams of underperforming schools.
"I fully support Mr. Sims and his family in pursuing this new opportunity where he can positively impact multiple schools," Flagler Schools Superintendent James Tager said Thursday in the release. He added, "We will aggressively pursue a talented leader to continue the tradition of excellence at FPCHS."
Sims expressed his gratitude to the teachers, students, staff, and administrators at FPC.
"I've always looked for providing opportunities for everyone, whether they're an adult or a student," he said in the release. "Our staff has done a wonderful job in sharing our goal. Their success has provided me with this opportunity to help other schools in our state."
FPC has a student enrollment of 2,516, according to the latest figures. There are 114 teachers at the school.
School Board Member Andy Dance had mixed feelings about Sims' departure.
"I'm excited for Dusty," he said. "I think he's been a great principal, and he's done a great job cultivating new leaders for the district. We're going to miss him."
All three of Dance's children have attended FPC during Sims' tenure.
FPC's assistant principals are Kerri Sands and Nathan Lovelette, who is administrator at the adjacent i3 Academy. Former assistant principal Robert Bossardet begins a new position this year: principal at Buddy Taylor Middle School.
"There are very few positions that could pull me away from FPC, but during my time here I have found a passion to see schools grow and therefore provide a better education for every student," Sims wrote in a message to families on the school's website. "In my new position I will be able to extend even more opportunities to students across the state."
Sims will be the second Flagler administrator to take a position with the state Department of Education in the past two years, following former Superintendent Jacob Oliva, who left the district in June 2017.
Sims was named the state Assistant Principal of the Year in 2014 and was named principal of FPC in 2015. He took over after former principal Lynette Shott moved into the School District's administration offices in the Government Services Building.

A graduate of Goshen College, Sims began his teaching career as a high school English teacher in 2000. In 2004, he began teaching English and language arts at FPC, where he also served as head baseball coach. He earned his master's degree in educational leadership and administration four years later from Nova Southeastern University and then served as assistant principal at Old Kings Elementary. In 2011, he returned to FPC as part of the leadership team.
The open principal position has been posted online. The salary range being offered is $88,459 to $95,533. The district expresses a preference for candidates with at least five years of experience as a high school principal. The application deadline is Monday.

There is one thing which your (or any) calibration will not be able to correct and that is the apparent zero-offset of the ADC. All parts of the input signal below about 0.1 V to 0.2 V is lost - that is almost 5-10% of the full measurement range!
Thanks for the work - I just dissasembled my owm bulb...However, one small correction: "The copper is the antenna." - no it's not. The antenna is on the circuit board under the white paint, just outside the metal can. The copper strip provides a grounding between the can and the case of the bulb.
I just recently learned fro0m somewhere else about the salt and the glue. All the tips are great and I will immediately follow up on organizing my sandpaper!
Thank you for this documentations, however it's not a L293D chip on these boards: the pinout does not match! But the manufacturer of these boards has been very careful to strip down the chip markings... but the L293D would not contain MOSFETs either... I found an image with complete chip code on Alibaba, it's either an MX130B or MX1308.

/bol"ee wood'/, n.
the motion-picture industry of India, based in Bombay.
[b. Bombay + Hollywood]
Indian moviemaking industry that began in Bombay (now Mumbai) in the 1930s and developed into an enormous film empire.
Bombay Talkies, launched in 1934 by Himansu Rai, spearheaded the growth of Indian cinema. Throughout the years, several classic genres emerged from Bollywood: the historical epic, notably Mughal-e-azam (1960; "The Great Mughal"); the curry western, such as Sholay (1975; "The Embers"); the courtesan film, such as Pakeezah (1972; "Pure Heart"), which highlights stunning cinematography and sensual dance choreography; and the mythological movie, represented by Jai Santoshi Maa (1975; "Hail Santoshi Maa"). Star actors, rather than the films themselves, have accounted for most box-office success. Standard features of Bollywood films include formulaic story lines, expertly choreographed fight scenes, spectacular song-and-dance routines, emotion-charged melodrama, and larger-than-life heroes. At the beginning of the 21st century, Bollywood produced as many as 1,000 feature films annually, and international audiences began to develop among Asians in the U.K. and the U.S.
Formulaic story lines, expertly choreographed fight scenes, spectacular song-and-dance routines, emotion-charged melodrama, and larger-than-life heroes were the hallmark ingredients of Bollywood films, which in 1999 continued to flourish in India and found a growing audience among British Asians in the U.K. as well as American Asians in the U.S. This was Bollywood, the Indian moviemaking industry that traced its roots to Bombay (now Mumbai) in the 1930s, produced as many as 1,000 feature films annually in all of India's major languages and in a variety of cities, and was often disparagingly compared to Hollywood, owing to what many perceived as Bollywood's narrow focus—making box-office smash hits. Nevertheless, the cultural inflections and narratives of Bollywood films were unique to the world of film, and the three-hour movies offered viewers time-honoured values, continuity, familiarity, and a chance to escape from everyday pressures.
In 1934 Bombay Talkies, launched by Himansu Rai, spearheaded the growth of Indian cinema in the 1930s and '40s. By the 1990s "Bombay talkies" or "masala movies" (masala is a mix of spices) referred to the Bollywood films that featured mythology, melodrama, romance, action, suspense, and the expression of sexual feelings (no overt sex or nudity was allowed) in numerous songs (rarely recorded live) and dances, including one standard number in which the star would appear coyly from behind a pillar or a tree. Visually lush, there were also numerous costume as well as global venue changes throughout the films.
Over the years several classic genres emerged from Bollywood: the historical epic, notably Mughal-e-Azam (1960), featuring an erotic love scene of Madhubala (the Venus of the Indian screen) and Dilip Kumar; the curry western, where, for example, Sholay (1975) was Bollywood's answer to Hollywood's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; the courtesan film such as Pakeezah (1972), highlighting stunning cinematography and sensual dance choreography; and the mythological movie, represented by Jai Santoshi Maa (1975), the mother goddess.
It was the megastars rather than the plots that remained the driving force behind the films. Beginning in 1936, when Ashok Kumar and Devika Rani emerged as the first major star pair, and continuing with such male heartthrobs as Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, and Dev Anand in the 1950s and '60s, Rajesh Khanna in the '70s, Amitabh Bachchan in the '80s, and Shahrukh Khan in the '90s, the starstruck public developed an insatiable appetite for news about their screen heroes. The new generation of male idols, however, were younger (previously performers in their 40s and 50s had had starring roles) and more Westernized in their manner; though many traveled more, frequented discos, and sported girlfriends, they also adhered to traditional cultural mores. The female icons that sent fans into frenzies included Madhubala in the 1950s, Mumtaz in the '60s, Zeenat Aman in the '70s, Hema Malini in the '80s, and Madhuri Dixit and Kajol in the '90s.
India, perhaps the only country where Hollywood films took a backseat to ones that were homegrown, found Bollywood's popularity outside India spurred by television exposure highlighting Indian cinema as well as magazines and Web sites showcasing Bollywood stars, who influenced everything from street fashion to social values. In 1998 Dil Se became the first Bollywood film to capture a spot on the U.K. cinema top 10 list.

After early Indian experiments in silent film, in 1934 Bombay Talkies, launched by Himansu Rai, spearheaded the growth of Indian cinema. Over the years, several classic genres emerged from Bollywood: the historical epic, notably Mughal-e-Azam (1960); the curry western, such as Sholay (1975); the courtesan film, such as Pakeezah (1972), which highlights stunning cinematography and sensual dance choreography; and the mythological movie, represented by Jai Santoshi Maa (1975).
Stars, rather than plots, were often the driving force behind the films. Beginning in 1936, when Ashok Kumar and Devika Rani emerged as the first major star pair, the Indian public developed an insatiable appetite for news about their screen heroes. This interest continued with male actors such as Raj Kapoor (Kapoor, Raj), Dilip Kumar, and Dev Anand in the 1950s and '60s, Rajesh Khanna in the '70s, Amitabh Bachchan (Bachchan, Amitabh) in the '80s, and Shahrukh Khan in the '90s. Popular female icons included Madhubala in the 1950s, Mumtaz in the '60s, Zeenat Aman in the '70s, Hema Malini in the '80s, and Madhuri Dixit and Kajol in the '90s.
At the turn of the 21st century, Bollywood was producing as many as 1,000 feature films annually in all of India's major languages and in a variety of cities, and international audiences began to develop among South Asians in the United Kingdom and in the United States. Standard features of Bollywood films continued to be formulaic story lines, expertly choreographed fight scenes, spectacular song-and-dance routines, emotion-charged melodrama, and larger-than-life heroes.

goodbye, columbia
i've been a fan of NASA's Space Program since the early 60s — Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Galileo — and remember well all the many successes — most notably, the July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 Moon Landing — and the two previous disasters: the Apollo I fire on January 29, 1967, the Challenger Shuttle Disaster on January 28, 1986, and now, the Columbia Shuttle Disaster last Saturday, February 1, 2003. It was the 113th mission in the 22-year-old shuttle program and the 28th flight for Columbia, which was NASA's oldest and heaviest shuttle. Bad tiles?, Worn-our airframe? Aging concepts? Mmmmmmm. President Bush addressed and comforted a grieving Nation. At least the seven Columbia Astronauts died doing what they loved to do — the bigger the risk, the greater the hurt — when my time comes, I hope the same can be said of me. RIP, Crew of STS107. God bless their souls, and their families, who mourn them. I lowered my Garden Center's flag to half mast, at 10am on 2/1/03, for the next 30 days, as I did on September 12th, 2001.
I was up early Saturday, and on this thread on fr.com, when the news that NASA had lost communication and tracking with the Columbia Shuttle, so I left for work and figured I'd hear about it either on the radio or when I got to work and logged-on again. The reports from AP News weren't good; the reporter was just coming short of calling it a disaster. I got back on fr.com, on this thread, and then this one. Plus, the 13" color TV I have in my office — which I'd bought the morning of September 11, 2001 to watch that unfolding massacre — had live NBC coverage with the annoying Brian Williams. Here's some heart-tugging pics of debris collected so far; look at the helmet, patch and shoe sole. Now, the search & recovery teams are finding all human remains. Here's a tribute to them; worth a look. And here's the tribute to them, by W&Co. Also, worth a look and listen. What do you think happened?
I was wondering how long it would take for these kinds of theories to come out.
On a brighter note, the weather's warmed-up 20-30°, the snow and ice are melting away quickly, gas is "only" up to $1.49.9/gal (87 octane) and my InterNet-stolen credit card (Nov-Dec '02) has been credited $5400 by Sears Bank. Life is good, still.
Why hasn't someone shot that pesky, lying rodent, Punxsutawney Phil, yet? Six more weeks of Winter? BS; more like 8-10 weeks.
We got almost 2" of rain on Tuesday morning, from a fast-moving front out of the Gulf of Mexico, followed by another cold front coming from the Midwest. Since the ground is frozen with about 15-18" of frost, the water pooled and flooding was everywhere. Temps were in the mid-40° F range, and it was almost "balmy". After two-and-a-half weeks of almost zero temps, this was a welcomed break.
Tax increases are coming for us in Pennsylvania. Big increases. After ruining Philly, the lib-dem moron Gov "Fast Eddie" Rendell is after the rest of us. Fortunately, Harrisburg is controlled by the GOP and they'll fight it all the way. I hope. Maybe. The concept of reducing spending is abhorrent to most, if not, of those political morons.
Agri-terrorism? Hmmm; hadn't thought of that possibility.
Are You Aware That?
There exists in Our Nation today, a privately-run organization — The American Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) — with only 3,000 members, several hundred of whom are US Government "officials". But even though this organization possesses enormous influence over the actions of our national government, most Americans have never heard of it. This same organization's members dominate our nation's mass media, multinational corporations, the banking industry, colleges and universities, even the military. Yet its domination is unknown to the average citizen. The members of this small but extremely influential group are responsible for a parade of foreign policy disasters in China, Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Panama, Cuba, and Africa. The group itself has always sought to lead the United States into a one-world socialistic system led by its members and their like-minded associates in other nations. Shouldn't you know about this organization and what its members are planning for the l990s? This article will introduce you to the Council on Foreign Relations, the little-known New York City-based organization that is both the seat of the liberal establishment and the main force pushing the United States into the new world order.
The Massacre of September 11th..
Never, never, never, never forget what subhuman Mooooos-lim garbage and Islamic pigshit (my apologies to pigs) terrorist filth did to the US on 9-11-01. To put the destruction into proper scale, this GroundZero photo essay helps. As do these remarkable photos, even more drive home the point that it was a massacre of innocents. Here's another image gallery of the sad events of that horrific day. And if you'd like to ratchet your anger and hatred up, as mine has been since that awful day last September, read this account of the dozens of people jumping from 100+ stories from the WTC Towers. As this reporter says, "embrace the rage". And The Washington Times weighs-in with their commemorative edition of 9-11 horror.
Islam The Religion of Peace™
President George Bush tries repeatedly to reassure us about the "religion of peace", but: Why is the religion of peace directly responsible for 28 out of the 30 violent conflicts raging in the world today? Why is the religion of peace responsible for the vast majority of chattel slavery in the world today? Why is the religion of peace responsible for nearly every single act of terrorism in the 20th and 21st Centuries? Why are the practitioners of the religion of peace routinely slaughtering unarmed practitioners of every other religion wherever they can get away with it? Why does the religion of peace call for the murder of anyone who converts from the religion of peace to another religion? Why do so many of the believers of the religion of peace look forward to the opportunity to rape 72 virgins in heaven if they die while Killing innocent women and children of other religions? Is it a god they worship, or just sex? If a god, then shouldn't heaven have more to do with him than their libidos? Why do the leaders of the religion of peace routinely issue fatwas (death warrants) for anybody who questions their holy book of peace and their holy prophet of peace? Why is the religion of peace responsible for the sexual mutilation of millions of little girls and the savage oppression of women? Why did millions of the practitioners of the religion of peace laugh, cheer and dance in the street because 3,000 innocent men, women and children were murdered by seventeen men who supposedly "hijacked" the religion of peace? And why don't the real practitioners of the religion of peace condemn the supposed "hijackers" of their religion? Why the deafening silence? Why the smiles? Why the cheers and high fives? Hmmmm? Perhaps I just don't understand this whole PEACE thing. Did the definition of the word change, or is somebody just blowing a lot of smoke?
The filthy A-rabs and moronic Mooooooos-lims think their moon god, Allah, punished the US and Israel by blowing-up the Columbia Space Shuttle. Unbelieveably stupid creatures, aren't they?
Get this filthy Somali Moooooos-lim shit out of my country!
Bravo U.S. District Court Judge William Young, who spit on the Mooooooos-lim idiot half-breed Reid scum: sentencing him to life in prison, but should have sentenced him to immediate death. With me as executioner.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, Islam, The Religion of Pieces™, torturing young children.
Another reason to track, find, imprison, torture and whack all Moooooos-lim terrorists and suspected terrorists. Who cares if we err; just whack as many as we can find.
Iraq will unleash thousands of suicide attackers against the United States if American troops invade, a senior Iraqi official was quoted Saturday as saying. Good; my AR-10 (.308cal) and AR-15 (.223cal) and Remy 870 12ga Tactical Riot Shotgun are ready, diaperhead filth. Your lunatic moon good sucks pigshit; your boy-buggering prophet is a deviant pedophile homo. Pigshit be upon both. Any questions?
NO, "Palestinians" do not need a state. There are no Palestinians, pre-1964. They are simply filthy, degenerate, criminal A-rabs from Jordan and Syria; and they need to be executed en masse, and bulldozed into a massive pit of liquid pigshit. End of problem.
Don't just count mosques in the US, raid them, arrest all the militant Islamic filth, torture and interrogate them, execute and dispose of them.
The more I read about Islam's so-called "history", the more I want to see it eliminated from the face of the earth.
Saudi Arabia must fall after Iraq; they're state sponsors of terrorism.
I agree: no more Mooooooos-lims, Islamics or Arabs should be allowed into the US. And all existing here should be rounded-up, interrogated, and then deported or executed.
The subhuman Islamic pigshit filth are about to celebrate their deviant "holiday", EID, and slaughter millions of sheep and goats, as a tribute to their false, degenerate moon god, what's-his-moron (pigshit be upon him). Bomb the Mooooooos-lim garbage into hell!
Another massive attack on the US by al Queerda? Bring it on, homo Islamic Mooooooos-lim filth! There are millions of us, who are well-armed and waiting anxiously, to whack you.
Here is a real danger to America from within: black Mooooooos-lim filth in the prisons.
Looks like some black Conservatives are finally waking-up to the hordes of illegals swarming into America.
Time to stop H1-B visas for immigrants, especially in the IT Field. Importing illegal Indians to fill American jobs is a crime.
Wow, does CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee) have some great bumper stickers, or what?
The Bush administration's plan to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling suffered a major blow on Friday, as six Republican senators RINO scumbags said they opposed inserting language to give oil companies access to the refuge into a must-pass budget bill. In addition to John McCain, the letter was signed by Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, Peter Fitzgerald of Illinois and Mike DeWine of Ohio. morons, all.
President Bush's proposed $15 billion to Africa for AIDS is a waste of money, our hard-earned tax dollars. AIDS is 100% preventable and no funds should be spent against it, for anyone. Change the behavior, Africa! If they don't/won't change, let them die and cleanse the world.
Disgraced, ex-governor criminal scumbag George Ryan (RINO-ILL) is a lowlife, piece of shit, for pardoning 643 murderers, rapists, armed robbers, child-molester-murderers etc, from death row. Here's hoping Ryan dies a slow, painful death, real soon.
The United States must temporarily stay the executions of three Mexican citizens on death rows in Texas and Oklahoma, the World Court ruled Wednesday. Ummmm, US to World Court: piss off, morons!

Bullitt Locations in San Francisco.
When Bullitt hit the theaters in 1968, the movie's high-octane car chase on the steep hills of San Francisco set a new standard for chase scenes. One fan decided to honor the film by taking screen shots of the locations as they appeared in 1968, then photographing the locations 31 years later in 1999 and again in the summer of 2002. He's compiled the photos here, creating a site that recaps the movie while showcasing an ever-changing city. Check out the different colors of Frank Bullitt's apartment at 1153 Taylor Street — blue in 1968, beige in 1999, and a tasteful gray in 2002. The famous car chase covers the entire city, with little regard for actual streets and locations. In some scenes, Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang can be found in one neighborhood, make a right turn, and magically jump to the other side of town. Although Hollywood's Hollyweird's navigation swhacks are questionable, the movie and this site prove plenty entertaining.


2.	The metal drawer pulls on the Disney animation furniture are perfect bottle openers. Whether this was by design or a happy accident doesn't matter as many a beer bottle was opened using them. But, as societal norms have changed such frivolity has been curbed and in some cases frowned upon.
3.	The deep drawers in the lower half of the desks, UNITS No. 14, 19, 1B , 2 and 2A were designed for deep storage. But, as studio legend has it, the drawer is the perfect height for a fifth of liquor standing in the drawer when closed. Note the bottle ring in the empty space where the deep draw should be on the lower right of the desk above. Certainly, this came in handy for imbibing in the afternoon, which was socially acceptable at work during that time period. Today, of course, there are likely no artists that are keeping liquor in their desk for fear of a visit to the HR representative.
4.	The Weber animation desks were built in a modular design in which there were several different upper and lower units that could be mixed and matched. This was an ingenious way of allowing the artists to customize their desks and it was ahead of its time in terms of modular furniture construction. The Weber animation desks took on an almost mythic status with newer artists laying claim to desks that had belonged to Disney animation legends. Some even felt that the patinaed desks emitted an aura of those who had previously occupied the furniture.
5.	Weber first started experimenting with the Airline Chair with a 1929 prototype. He wanted an affordable modern chair that could be carried home in a box and assembled by the consumer in minutes. He was years ahead of IKEA. By 1935, Weber had perfected his design but it was the depth of the Great Depression and he could not get traction on selling these chairs to the masses. But, when he got the Disney Studio project, Weber was able to convince Walt Disney to purchase 200 of these chairs for his new studio complex. In all, only about 300 of these chairs were ever made. The Studio still has about 125 left, the other 75 may have "walked away" over the years.
6.	It was common for employees to smoke at the office and more than fifty-percent of the U.S. population were smokers in 1940. At the Hyperion Studio, artists frequently would lay a lit cigarette on the edge of their desk as they drew and flipped their animation, which required two hands. In between drawings, they'd pick up the cigarette to take a drag off it and put it back on the edge of the desk or in an ashtray. But, sometimes the cigarette burned the top of the desk. This was frequent enough that a "Cigarette Protector" was added to the Weber animation desks at the new Burbank studio to prevent burns to the furniture surface. The cigarette protector was a two-and-half-inch wide strip of stainless steel that had a quarter-inch lip on it that was screwed to the desk on either side of the drawing board for the regular animation desk and on the right side for the modified or compact animator's desk.
Very interesting. Is there any evidence that such attention to detail was paid to the furniture/tools of other professions within the studio?
Layout artists had a similar desk, but with a big flat surface instead of the disc, and not so many shelves.
Yes, there many examples of custom or one off pieces that were made including the mail sorting desks for the traffic dept at the studio.
Interesting! Where were the Florida animation desks made? I have one at home. No liquor or cigarettes… Smoking was permitted in designated areas only…They were sold to us after the completion of the "swan song" of the Studio, Brother Bear.
The Florida furniture was made in Canada and it was inspired by the Weber furniture.
Ah, yes. Always loved that furniture, and the spirit behind it. One of my favorite designs was the little roll-away desk used in the camera department for touching up cels and other art. They had a disc tabletop that folded flat, and two little hinged storage wings for art supplies.
Studio beers are not a dead tradition!


Capital Hall Condominiums on former Ottawa Humane Society site launches Sept. 28.
The 'penthouse' is part party room, games room and study area.
A fresh approach to student housing that combines real estate investors, highrises, public transit and one of Ottawa's hot spots for condominium development is set to launch Sept. 28.
That's when Envie Student, a new wing of Ashcroft Homes, holds its VIP launch for one of two student residence towers at 101 Champagne Ave. S., former site of the Ottawa Humane Society. The site is just west of Little Italy, a hive of current and planned condo construction.
The two towers are known collectively as Capital Hall Condominiums. When completed, they'll have more than 500 fully furnished units with room for up to 1,000 students. And they're close to the O-Train Trillium Line's Carling Station, which is one stop from Carleton University, whose students could benefit the most from the development.
The tallest tower, 28 storeys and ready for occupancy by the start of the 2106 school year, will comprise 183 units, most of them three or four bedrooms. The building will be owned entirely by Envie Student which will rent directly to students. Rents will begin at $1,100, and leasing will start later this year.
The second building will be 25 storeys and comprise 329 studio and one- and two-bedroom units. The units will be sold condo-style to investors who in turn will rent them to students. The units start at $179,900 for 317 square feet. The building will launch Sept. 28 and should be ready for occupancy in 2018. Envie Student is offering investors a leaseback option under which the company will rent out the units on behalf of the purchasers for the first two years.
Capital Hall Condominiums is a two-tower condo project on the former site on Champagne Avenue South. The first building launches Sept. 28.
Amenities are generous, including a fitness centre, party room, lounge with study areas and outdoor courtyard. There will be on-site housekeeping services, and plans are afoot for a street-level grocery store and coffee shop.
Envie Student will manage both buildings.
The two towers originally received city approval as regular condo buildings, but when condominium sales began slumping across the city in 2013, Ashcroft spotted a silver lining amid the gloom.
Units will include studio, one- and two-bedroom suites that will be sold condo-style to investors who in turn will rent them to students.
Proximity to Carleton will give the university a particular edge in attracting foreign students, Choo believes.
"(Foreign) parents won't send their kids to Carleton and spend $20,000 on tuition (the average is actually closer to $24,000) and have them live in the kind of place I had when I was at Carleton," says Choo, who is originally from Guyana and studied engineering at Carleton in the 1970s.
Good quality student housing has long been an issue in Ottawa, where roughly 80,000 full-time students attend Carleton, the University of Ottawa and Algonquin College, the city's three biggest post-secondary institutions.
For example, only 3,621 of a total full-time student population of roughly 24,000 at Carleton live in on-campus housing. That leaves a lot of people scrambling for accommodation — some of it decidedly dumpy — every year.
"We absolutely have a wait list for people wanting to live in residence," says Laura Storey, Carleton's director of housing. She adds that students have reported trouble finding accommodation off-campus, although she can't say what sort of housing they are looking for.
Amenities include a generous courtyard.
Student housing challenges may or may not increase in the future. Ontario saw university enrolment grow 49 per cent from 2002 to 2014. However, last fall the Ontario Universities' Application Centre reported a downward trend in enrolment at colleges and universities as the children of baby boomers finished their post-secondary education.
Changing trends or not, developers are jumping into the student housing market. They seem especially keen to serve the University of Ottawa.
Last fall, construction started on a nine-storey private student residence on Mann Avenue, close to the university. More recently, the Ontario Municipal Board approved a multi-storey private student residence at Laurier Avenue East and Friel Street in Sandy Hill after the city turned thumbs down on it. Campus Suites' 1Eleven, a former Holiday Inn on Cooper Street, is taking applications for this school year with rents starting at $795 per month. All told, the three projects will add over 1,200 beds within walking distance of the University of Ottawa.
Landlords like these will need to ensure good tenant-neighbour relations. That hasn't always been the case with student housing, where loud parties are among the complaints voiced by neighbouring residents.
In the case of Capital Hall Condominiums, there's been little community concern about the influx of young residents, according to Karen Wright, president of the Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association.
"We're not anticipating any of the troubles that have happened in other areas of the city," she says. Some residents have said that students will bring a "lively presence" to the area, she adds. As well, she says that since students by and large use public transit or bicycles, additional traffic should not be an issue.
Ashcroft says noise control and other policies are in the works for its development. As well, the two buildings will have no balconies in an attempt to reduce noise complaints.
"There will be no big, wild parties in these buildings," says Choo.
Also absent, he says, will be traffic chaos at the beginning and end of each school year.
What: Two student residence towers at 101 Champagne Ave. S. with combined room for about 1,000 students. VIP launch Sept. 28; public launch to follow.
Sales centre: At Ashcroft's Q West project, 101 Richmond Rd.
Hours: Monday to Thursday, noon to 6 p.m.; weekends, noon to 5 p.m.; closed Friday.

Q: Select first complete string matching partial string I have a page which contains many  tags with a string in them, for example 'Am I a String?  Yes'.
Using JQuery, I want to get the first instance of 'Am I a String?  ' and then take the Yes or No after that and store it so I can use it in a conditional.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
The code I'm going with:
function experimentThree() {
            var stringBool = $('*:contains("Was it enough?  ")');
            console.log('stringBool = : ' + stringBool);
            console.log('stringBool Object 1 = : ' + stringBool[0]);
        }

Thinking if I can get the complete string in the first object I can compare that to what I expect to see.

A: check this out
$('body').find('*:contains("Am I a String")').each(function(index, crntNode){
    var parts = $(crntNode).text().split('?');
    var flag = parts[1].trim();
    alert(flag);
});

A: for example:
var a = $('div').text().match(/Am I a String\? (Yes|No)/g)[0];
var b = a.match(/(Yes|No)/g)[0];

340 F. 2d 94 - Mucherino v. G Blackwell
Federal Reporter, Second Series
340 F.2d.
340 F2d 94 Mucherino v. G Blackwell
340 F.2d 94
Carl Eugene MUCHERINO, Appellant,
Olin G. BLACKWELL, Warden, United States Penitentiary,
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
No. 14909.
United States Court of Appeals Third Circuit.
Submitted Dec. 17, 1964.
Decided Jan. 19, 1965.
Frank B. Bozza, Maplewood, N.J., for appellant.
Bernard J. Brown, U.S. Atty., Lewisburg, Pa. (Harry A. Nagle, Asst. U.S. Atty., Lewisburg, Pa., on the brief), for appellee.
Before McLAUGHLIN, STALEY and HASTIE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant was tried and convicted under Title 18 U.S.C. 472, 473 for conspiracy and substantive counterfeiting offenses in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. He was sentenced to serve a term of five years on each of the two counts to run concurrently and to pay a fine of $2500 without costs and without further confinement in default of payment of the fine. The conviction was affirmed, United States v. Mucherino, 311 F.2d 172 (4 Cir.1962). One of the other two defendants who stood trial with appellant and was convicted also appealed. That conviction was affirmed in United States v. Wenzel, 311 F.2d 164 (4 Cir.1962). There is no claim that application for certiorari was made in either case. Appellant is confined to the United States Penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania where he is serving his said sentence.
This appeal is from the denial of a petition for habeas corpus filed by appellant in the District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The appeal has been competently and thoroughly argued on behalf of the appellant by new counsel in the case. The major difficulty with it is that appellant's petition relies entirely on trial matters, all of which were before the trial court and the court of appeals. The reason for not going before the trial court under a 2255 petition, setting up the grounds here stated, is, as noted in appellant's brief, 'The trial court's previous denial of the grounds raised in the instant petition, at the trial and subsequent motions for a new trial, would make the application to the trial court inadequate and ineffective to test the legality of petitioner's detention * * *.'
The facts fully support the holding of Judge Follmer in the district court '* * * that as to any contentions now open to him (appellant), his remedy by motion to the sentencing court to vacate the sentence would be available and entirely adequate, Frazier v. Blackwell, 325 F.2d 154 (3 Cir. 1963), and exclusive, if already made by him, Sims v. Willingham, 300 F.2d 162 (3 Cir. 1962).'
The order of the district court will be affirmed.

Lucasfilm brings trademark suit against operator of lightsaber training academies
Steve Brachmann
"Star Wars" by ben.hannis. Licensed under CC BY 2.0.
It's been a busy few years for the Star Wars movie franchise since Lucasfilm, the George Lucas-owned production company that filmed the first six installments of the series, was purchased by The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) in October 2012 for $4 billion. Last December, Disney released Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the most recent installment of the immensely popular movie saga. Next December, the adventures of Rey, Poe Dameron and Finn will continue in Star Wars: Episode VIII as they work with the Resistance to undo both Kylo Ren and the First Order.
Star Wars continues to have a major impact on the popular culture of the time since the first trilogy was released in the late 1970s through the early 1980s. Iconic characters from the film, like Darth Vader, R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker, have attained an almost mythological status among fans of the franchise. The first movie in the series, Star Wars: A New Hope, is included in the first class of films inducted into the Library of Congress' National Film Preservation Board and the entire original trilogy itself marked a major shift in Hollywood towards computer-based special effects and was one of the original "summer blockbusters" after 1975's Jaws.
With popularity for the Star Wars saga soaring again, it's not surprising to find people who would seek to profit from consumers interested in the brand. In the middle of October, Lucasfilm filed a complaint for trademark infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (N.D. Cal.) against a group of business and individuals operating a training academy for would-be Jedi Knights.
The lawsuit filed by Lucasfilm names a series of defendants including Michael Brown, also known as Flynn Michael, a resident of Oakland, CA, and the operator of a number of businesses including New York Jedi, Lightsaber Academy as well as Thrills and Skills. The complaint also lists a number of websites with similar names operated by the defendants. Lucasfilm notes that the defendants are in the business of offering lightsaber classes to students for improving their skills with lightsaber equipment and performance as a "Jedi." For example, the website for New York Jedi offers a series of what it calls "light saber choreo classes" for teens and adults. As the about section of its website states, "while we are not specifically Star Wars-centric, we do rely heavily on many of the principles and training used by that of the Jedi Order."
One piece of evidence of the defendants infringing activity is a logo used by the Jedi training facilities on its apparel and merchandise which looks substantially similar to Lucasfilm's own trademarked logo for the Jedi Order. Lucasfilm's allegation notes that both logos are round in shape, having six wing-like shapes curving upward, three on either side of the the circular logo, and an eight-pointed star with elongated top and bottom points stretched into a vertical line.
Enoch Liang, Partner at LTL Attorneys
"In trademark laws, the standard is likelihood of confusion," said Enoch Liang, partner at LTL Attorneys. "The question is whether consumers would be likely to be confused between the Lucasfilm trademark for the Jedi logo and the infringing logo." Liang added that, looking at the logos side-by-side, there was a good likelihood that most people would be confused between the two, especially given the fact that the infringing logo was being used in conjunction with a lightsaber academy. "If you look at the logos, they're not 100 percent identical, but they're similar enough that it would likely confuse customers," Liang said.
Lucasfilm also alleges that the defendants have willfully continued infringing activities despite receiving cease and desist letters in a section of the complaint which Liang calls "the most damning for the defendant." Lucasfilm notes that it sent a cease and desist letter which was served to the defendants on March 1st of this year. The next day, Lightsaber Academy filed an application for U.S. Trademark Serial No. 86927002, which would cover the use of the infringing logo on services related to martial arts instruction. On April 4th, New York Jedi filed an application for U.S. Trademark Serial No. 86963651, an illustration with wording which consists of an image of the Statue of Liberty holding a lightsaber with the stylized wording "NEW YORK JEDI" surrounding the image in a semi-circle. All of this activity occurred after the defendants were repeatedly denied license or authority to engage in the infringing activities from Lucasfilm.
Attempts to obtain a trademark after a cease and desist letter has been served are not typically successful, according to Liang. Most likely, the mark would languish at the examiner phase of prosecution, especially the infringing Jedi order logo, because of similarities to the Lucasfilm marks. "The trademark office is most likely not going to approve these applications, they're just going to show evidence of willful infringement," Liang said. Should the application is approved, Lucasfilm has a period of time in which to oppose the marks. "Even if the examiner agrees, you can bet dollars to donuts that Lucasfilm is going to oppose, and they're going to have really good evidence to show that the marks are sought in bad faith.
The Lucasfilm complaint includes six claims for relief including claims for trademark infringement, false designation of origin, federal trademark dilution and unfair competition under California state law. Lucasfilm seeks statutory damages up to $2 million per trademark which has been infringed upon by the defendant. Liang said it was interesting that the complaint included a claim of cybersquatting, which has a completely different set of damages aside from the trademark claims. Claims of cybersquatting were established as a cause for legal action in 1999 after passage of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. "It's completely separate and apart from the trademark claim, ACPA requires proof of bad faith intent to profit off of a famous trademark," Liang said. Thus, such claims require a court to look directly at the defendant's behavior whereas trademark infringement claims require proof of consumer confusion as a result of the defendant's behavior.
Overall, Liang believes that Lucasfilm brought some strong arguments to its complaint in this case. He also indicated it was interesting that Lucasfilm did not bring a claim for copyright infringement on the infringing logo, although there were no clear conclusions to be drawn from that omission. "It could be that the differences noted between the allegedly infringing logo and the Jedi logo are enough that they're not substantially similar," Liang said. "Or maybe they felt that just bringing the trademark claim was enough, given the fact that the allegedly infringing logo is used with a lightsaber academy."

One comment so far.
Andrei Mincov – Trademark Factory
The owner of the lightsaber training academy made a vital mistake. While he purportedly distanced himself away from Disney by adding a disclaimer to the effect that they "have no affiliation with Star Wars, Lucasfilm, or Disney", he should not have adopted a logo that looks very similar to the one now owned by Disney. Disney would have a hard time preventing the academy's owner from offering lightsaber training. But a lawsuit where the plaintiff has infinitely more money AND a very good chance of success could be the end of the business for the academy. Audacious, but not very wise…
