IBM Unveils Web 2.0 Server Model
By Kenneth Corbin

IBM (NYSE: IBM) today unveiled a new type of low-energy server designed to meet the power consumption crush straining the datacenters of the larger Internet companies.
The announcement of the iDataPlex system, made at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, is packaged as IBM's solution to the runaway power costs that follow the explosion of video, online gaming and other bandwidth-hungry applications traversing online networks.
"With IBM iDataPlex, IBM is making Web 2.0-style computing more efficient and commercializing it for Internet companies and other high-performance segments like financial services and research," Bill Zeitler, senior vice president of IBM's Systems and Technology group, said in a statement.
IBMs iDataPlex launch is part of its Blue Cloud initiative, which debuted in November. It offers businesses cloud-based computing power, based on open source software and open standards, in order to meet customers' data demands on the fly.
The iDataPlex is IBM's first significant foray into servers marketed specifically for Internet companies whose businesses are built around online advertising, rich-media content and data-intensive applications.
According to a recent study by WinterGreen Research, the Web 2.0 server market will reach $6.1 billion by 2014, up from $2.4 billion in 2007. When factoring in the attendant storage expense, the market for Web 2.0 infrastructure equipment will reach $10 billion, WinterGreen predicts.
In the Web 2.0 server market, IBM finds itself in competition with a familiar crowd led by Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ) and Dell (NASDAQ: DELL). Significantly, Google, which builds its own servers and sells none, accounts for 45 percent of all Web 2.0 server units produced, according to WinterGreen's figures.
By advancing its cloud strategy, IBM is moving to grab some mindshare in a cloud computing sector that has seen prominent Web companies grabbing the headlines, notably Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).
But IBM claims that existing Web 2.0 server offerings are little more than souped-up "white boxes," a term that reflects everyday workstations with few special features. IBM claims that iDataPlex servers can boost computing power by a factor of five, while cutting energy costs by as much as 40 percent. Meantime, the form factor of the design enables twice as many servers to run on a rack. With traditional servers measuring around 30 inches in length, iDataPlex servers measure just 15 inches, an IBM spokeswoman told InternetNews.com.
In addition to the servers' power consumption, a big energy sink in datacenters comes from keeping the machines cool. IBM claims that the iDataPlex server racks can be set up with a liquid-cooling system on the back wall that enables them to run at room temperature without relying on air conditioning.
Susan Eustis, president of WinterGreen, said that the new model for the datacenter that IBM is working toward mirrors the architecture of the Internet itself.
"Rather than having a few big machines that do the work in a very reliable and secure way," Eustis told InternetNews.com, "the machines are used in a massively parallel manner."
With enterprises increasingly adopting Web 2.0 technologies for collaborative projects at work, Eustis believes demand for this new model of servers already exists, and looks for IBM's server rivals to follow suit to stay competitive.
"I would expect to see similar announcements from those other companies very soon," she said.
iDataPlex will support the Linux operating system, as well as the xCat open source cluster management technology.
IBM said the iDataPlex server model will be available in the United States and Canada in June, and will ship globally by the end of the year.

Download and install Any Audio Converter from the link in the "Resources" section of this article. Once the file is downloaded, open it and follow the instructions to install the software.
Open the Any Audio Converter program.
Click the "Add Media Files" button at the top left of the All Audio Converter window. Locate and select the MPEG4 file you want to convert to MP3 in the window that appears and click "Open".

What's The Last Game That Hooked You?
What's The Last Game That Hooked You?
February 24, 2012 Ben-Dutka — 149 Comments
Such a sh**** night. Rainy, foggy, windy, cold. It's nights like these that gamers will often curl up with the one game that is, currently, their go-to title.
I'm not necessarily referring to the game you think is the "best;" i.e., the best game currently in your rotation, or what you believe should've gotten more awards in 2011.
I'm talking about that one game, regardless of critic or peer influence, that just somehow grabs you and keeps you playing. In some ways, you're not even sure why it happened. Maybe it's a genre you don't normally enjoy, maybe it's a game that didn't start out promising but somewhere along the way, something clicked in your head…or maybe it's just so much fun, there's no reason to analyze it.
Come on, what ya got? I'm almost embarrassed to say that right now, it's Final Fantasy XIII-2 . I almost can't dignify such a ridiculous statement with further elaboration. It's not a bad game – it really isn't; the 8.6 I gave it holds true – and they really did do a great deal to improve the gameplay and combat system this time around. But the story is sorta "meh" and in truth, I keep thinking I'm playing it for all the wrong reasons . "Wrong" in that this shouldn't be why I play a Final Fantasy title.
But nevertheless, there it is. Can't stop playing it. Just got Twilight Odin; gonna start maxing stuff. However, that being said, I should add that I really love the Vita and I've got a ton of games sitting here; I've done 7 reviews but just that many remain, and that doesn't include the downloadable vouchers I have. Oh, and I still need to deliver the Syndicate review and Capcom just told me Asura's Wrath is on the way. That, and I've got a chance to check out Journey this weekend.
So there's plenty to do. But right now, on a night like this, it just ends up being the go-to game… What's yours right now?

I'm playing skyrim but I get together with friends and rock bf3 and mw3 with tons of beer and bww, that's the way to do it.
alas, I've grown too old for wild wings I think, my bowels can't handle that sauce.
BWW always tore up my guts. I make wings at home now with Woody's Wing's sauce. Much better. 🙂
Can I get Woodys at Cub?
fatelementality
LOL, you know we have some mature gamers here cause there be talk of ye ole bowel problems. Im the same way so dont feel bad. Too many nights of games + pizza ended up giving me IBS. Seriously, I was diagnosed. Started eating a lot better after that.
Umm, maybe. Though I couldn't find it at the local VONS in California. It might be a local deal. It's a bright orange sauce with a blue and white label with a cartoon bird on the label.
AcHiLLiA
They still have VONS (market store) in Cali, I thought it was changed to JON'S marketplace.

In terms of games that I find myself compulsively playing and can't seem to stop, there's this little iOS game called Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor. It's a simple concept, a platforming game where you control a spider going from room to room in an abandoned mansion spinning webs and eating bugs. There are also clues hidden in every level that helps piece together the story of what happened to the former residents.
As for a game that completely engrosses me, that would be Mass Effect 2. Sadly I haven't had time to play a lot of games over the past year, but out of all of the games that I played, this was easily the one that wouldn't let me go until I explored every planet to find every mission. I've played and enjoyed games since then (Twisted Metal is awesome!), but none of them captured me quite like ME2 did.

Skyrim. Before that, GT5. Before that, MGS4. Well u get the idea. Great games deserve loads of attention 🙂 Gotta do Peace Walker HD next. The fun never ends.
SoulController
Dark Souls still has me hook line and sinker. Im still on my 2nd playthrough and I just cant stop. Before Souls, ME2 had me so hooked I screwed up my gym routine..lol I know I can get the platinum for Dark Souls but my backlog is just too ridiculous right now and ME3 is out soon. oh boy..
But lately when I shut that down I pick up MLB 11: the show. Kind of a change of pace.
DeadReaper
Mass effect 2. I pretty much ignored it whem it came to the ps3 but found it for dirt cheap afew months ago and Ive been hooked ever since.
try the multiplayer for mass effect 3
Nas Is Like
Probably God of War III. The older I get the less interest I have in video games, and I find myself liking less and less games. There's very few games that still capture my interest, and GoW III was definitely one of them. Love that game.
maxpontiac
Same here. Certain games frustrate me now that wouldn't 10 years ago.
It's sad how aging affects your motor skills. My dad used to be king of F-Zero. Now he breaks out in a sweaty rash on his neck when he plays GT5 (wish I were joking). One of my older gaming pals used to tear up TM2 on hard like it was nothing. Now he is playing Skyrim on easy. I used to be able to do Ninja Gaiden on very hard. If I tried that now I would scream, throw up, and pass out.

lmao @ If I tried that now I would scream, throw up, and pass out.
You can't be that old, can you? :p
Arkham Asylum…before that Uncharted 2. Before that, Final Fantasy X…And, the one that started it all for me, Final Fantasy VIII…
Amen brother, amen. Tho I think I had a Goldeneye addiction b4 FFVII. When I saw that game, my Nintendo saga was over and the PS saga is still going strong 🙂
Gran Turismo 5. I'll play many different titles in between, but I always go back to GT5.
I still have to get on that game. I loved Gran Turismo 2 and 4 (didn't like 3) so I know I will like the 5th installment in the series.
Now is the time to get it. GT5 XL is out now.

shame i don't like sports games. we could have quite a toronto detroit rivalry going
Can't wait to see you in the Big House.
oh hell yeah! thats gonna be epic. i'm totally making the drivedown the highway for that one can't wait
The game that i play,which is an older game is Homeworld 1&2 mostly..relic studios just knows how to make rts games that are a step above the rest.
Pandacastro
Mass effect 2, loved being evil and see the consequences of my choices,
I soooo regret making my Shepard a man.
Jennifer Hale>>>>>>>>>>>>> that dude who voices stale Sheppard.
Beamboom
Why on earth did you do that, World?
– "Let's see, I got the option to either play with an awesome space-age femme fatalutium maximusimo, or a big hairy grunt. Let's go for the grunt."
And yeah Jennifer Hale is *excellent* as Femshep. She alone is worth my preorder.

It's always a toss-up, sometimes I like to create a hot chick and sometimes for immersion I make a guy who looks just like me. Depends on the game and I made the wrong decision here.
sunspider13
Right now for me it's a toss up between Dead Nation and Batman AC. Dead Nation because of the fact that killing zombies is relaxing for me (well it is). And B:AC because of the fact that I'm on my new game plus and all I have to worry about are 4 physical challenges and not get sidetracked with a Riddler trophy I see gliding around the city. Now I can spend my time just beating up thugs. Love the combat so much. I'll be getting back into Dark Souls and Skyrim soon enough however seeing that I've been neglecting them both.
no Dead Island?
Killing zombies is actually VERY relaxing! I feel you right there mate…
@World I watched my brother play though Dead Island and I was going to borrow it from him, but I got sidetracked with something. I think I might come back to it, eventually.
It's worth it, watching doesn't cut it, once you get into modding weapons and hording cash and scavenging and stoving in heads it becomes your life.
Cpt_Geez
Infamous 1 & 2 I played those games every chance I had til I beat them.
Same here. I had to go though both of them twice before I could put them down because of something else heading down the pipe.
Yupp same here
Yeah, for me it's probably inFAMOUS (which I played last fall). I *loved* AC2, which I played next, but I didn't turbo through it like inFAMOUS.
Milonakis
Twisted Metal! Playing it through in twisted mode now 🙂
JDC80
Mass Effect 2 and InFamous. I got one week left to get the best ending for Mass Effect 2 before GF ship me Mass Effect 3.
Twistedfloyd
Twisted Metal's MP (despite some connection issues) has me hooked. For the most part it's what I've wanted since Black (FROM A GAMEPLAY PERSPECTIVE). It's all I've played for the last week and a half since it came out.
While the SP was disappointing, the reason the game was made is a complete success. Once those connection issues are ironed out, this is a multiplayer masterpiece.
shadowscorpio
Right now its Demon's Souls and Little Big Planet. I've already platinum'd Demon's Souls but being a completist, I'm collecting all forms of armor, items and every version of every weapon. I'm also working to reach the max level for my character, which is no easy feat.
LBP is really a great game. Aiming for all the trophies really gets me playing this game A LOT but its practically endless when it comes to thing s to do in it.
VampDeLeon
Uncharted 3 multiplayer.. Even though the gameplay and combat is so off (shooting someone in the head doesn't guarantee a kill anymore?) and bugged compared to Uncharted 2, I think the overwhelming potential it has is keeping me going. I'm a sucker for games that offer customization, though this one lacks it at the moment, the promise along with all the friends I made in Uncharted 2 that moved on to this one keep me playing it over and over.
dembiscuits
Really really hooked me? Probably Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Put 250 hours into that. Twice…
Wow you're busy Ben. I've finally gotten bored with Skyrim, FFXIII-2 isn't grabbing me at all and against all odds I have gravitated to the F.E.A.R. series. Explanation to follow:
The horror really isn't that fantastic, the graphics aren't bad but they aren't the best, and in many ways the series feels kind of old BUT there's the rub. I realized that I miss the old school gameplay that FPS games used to have.
Currently we engage in one or another form of modern or futuristic combat that guides us on in a straight line through various firefights until the dramatic conclusion. I find this boring. In the days of old we had to think our way around obstacles, each weapon was very different from the others, we could interact with the environments, there were puzzles to be solved, and we felt like we were in control of a human body instead of skating on ice.
FEAR has all of that and I'm going to play all 3. Old school FPS ftw bitches.

P.S. Regenerating health is for pu**ies
Creds to you for mentioning FEAR! I love them too, those games are great.
All that's lacking to make them *stellar* is a long, good round in the polish machine. But the mechanics, the maps, the core game is really good. And you are right, it's got much of that classic fps vibe from back when you had to actually stop now and then to think and go, "so, what have we got here?" instead of just follow a rail holding the trigger down *cough*kz3*cough*.

Just got an Android Developer Phone (ADP 1, which is like a SIM-unlocked, rooted T-Mobile G1, i.e. HTC Dream). Installed a bunch of apps and Debian.
I did a few things to customize my phone. From more fundamental to more superficial, I installed a non-standard system image (i.e. version of the Android operating system), I installed Debian, and I installed a bunch of apps. You can do any of these without doing the others (although CyanogenMod? makes Debian a little easier/better, so I recommend CyanogenMod? if you are going to do Debian).
The more experienced readers may just want a list of commands, rather than reading commands interspered with explanation. This is here: .
More verbose instructions for everyone else are at the page .
Miscellaneous notes on using Debian on Android (aside from the initial installation) are at the page .
android market "why did you remove this app?" question should include an option, "i found another app that fulfills a similar function that i like better"

Chapter 344 Meeting The Liar Again 1
The returning team split up to rest, while Lerden was jumping on one leg, planning to find the 'doctor' to repair him. Han Xiao whistled, signaling for Lerden to go over.
"It's you, can't believe you're still alive." Lerden hopped in front of Han Xiao.
"I should be the one saying that." Han Xiao looked at his broken limbs.
"Met a bit of danger, almost died," Lerden said like it was nothing.
Although he was not very close to Han Xiao, he felt a little bit more relieved when he saw someone whom he considered a friend to still be alive.
Han Xiao raised the toolbox in his hand and said, "Seems like you need a very skilled Mechanic."
"Is it free this time?" Lerden raised an eyebrow.
Han Xiao thought and said, "Get me a drink, in the same bar as last time."
It was currently the break period of the Catastrophe; there was time to rest. The commanders had allowed Han Xiao into the city seeing that Black Star Mercenary Group had actively taken on the job of scouting.
Lerden had a backup implanted arm, so Han Xiao repaired and connected it very quickly. Originally, only Lerden's right arm had still been made of flesh, but it was now broken, bound, and left alone. His expression was calm—he did not care about losing the only part of flesh that he had left.
The two entered the city and came to Herlous' bar as Han Xiao had requested. There was quite a number of customers that day—all of them were civilians from nearby. The soldiers were bathing in blood and fighting outside the city, and most civilians hid in their home or in the official emergency evacuation areas. There were also some that chose to use alcohol to get rid of their terror. Ninety percent of the shops in the entire city were closed during the Catastrophe, but Herlous' bar opened as usual, so the place was a little noisy.
Walking up to the bar counter, Han Xiao said, "Two glasses of your signature drink."
Lerden immediately raise his hand and cut in. "Just one glass."
Drunk, Herlous raised his head, and after seeing Han Xiao's face, his expression changed. "You again!"
He remembered Han Xiao, a weird guy that came to find his brother's old notebook out of nowhere who seemed to also know his secret.
"What do you want again?"
Han Xiao smiled and said, "Just here for a drink."
Herlous stared at Han Xiao for some time then unwillingly took out a bottle of alcohol. Han Xiao did not speak to him again, just drinking and chatting with Lerden casually. Herlous saw this and kept his doubt. He turned away to attend to other customers while eavesdropping on the conversation between Han Xiao and Lerden.
Han Xiao looked at Lerden's broken arm and said, "Don't you feel pain?"
Lerden shook his head and said, "When I went through the implant operation, I told the doctor to cut off my nerves, so that injuries will not affect my combat ability."
"You're an Esper, so implants will weaken your power. Why did you do it?"
"It's fine to be weaker," Lerden said calmly. "I can live longer this way—a dead man is of no use."
"To choose implants to live longer, and to actively execute the most dangerous mission, your love for your race really is strong." Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. "No one is born a hero; the supers of Sunil seemed to be too selfless. You guys must have your reasons, how about tell them to me? I'm quite curious."
Lerden kept silent for a while. His expression became nostalgic, and the look in his eyes started to change a little. It was like he could hardly keep his calm when he thought about the past. He said slowly, "Just like every other Sunil, I once had a complete family. My father was strict, my mother was kind and warm, and I had two younger sisters. When DarkStar attacked, I was still a kid. Even now, I can still remember the laser cannons descending from the sky, thick like waterfalls, turning the largest buildings in the city centers into ash in an instant. We joined the evacuating crowd, and the military protected us. They knew clearly that staying behind meant death, but they still prioritized guarding us and sending us away.
"Unfortunately, my parents could not board Godora's rescue spaceship. They died halfway there; a beam of laser turned my parents into ashes. I was just a kid in despair, and the only thing that I knew was how to cry. I followed the other refugees numbly. Every day, the army gave the refugees very little food. I was starving so much that I could not control myself at all. After I took the food, I hid more than half of the portion, only giving a little bit to my sisters. I just wanted to live at that time; I did not know how to think of anything else. Then… my two younger sisters starved to death."
Lerden paused then said in a very low voice, "I can still vividly remember their expression, their bony palms grabbing my clothes as they stared right into my eyes, like they were telling me how hungry they were, but they had no energy to talk. Those two pairs of eyes filled with despair cut right into my heart. My brain was blank, and a few seconds felt like centuries. When their arms slipped down without strength, only then did I dare take deep breaths. I was completely petrified. I couldn't believe what I had done. If I had shared the food with my sisters, even if I would be hungrier, at least we all could have lived, but I knew nothing back then—I only thought about having filling meals, I felt that if I ate less, I would be starved to death the next day…
"I followed the crowd up the rescuing ship numbly, not knowing where to go. There were many kids like me who lost their families back then; they were all given to veterans with a disability to raise. A group of kids and I were given to a veteran, too. From then on, we lived with him. He raised us and taught us how to fight. He was a rough, impatient man, but a good man and a good soldier. Many of us Supers were orphans that were raised by the race back then.
"As time passed, I gradually took that veteran as my foster father, but I always had a grudge in my heart. I felt my past was too dark; I felt I was an evil man. If I told my foster father, would he chase me away? One day, on impulse, I told him about my younger sisters' death, and he gave me a serious scolding… but not because of my selfishness. He scolded me that if I had the heart to think about the past, I should be spending that time to train. He said that the race was on the verge of being wiped out, and there was no time to be held back by the past. Even if I was a criminal of countless sins, as long as I held the gun to protect our race, then I had only one identity—a soldier. No one would care about my past, only what I can do…"
Han Xiao touched his chin and asked, "What happened to that old veteran?"
"The first time the Catastrophe came, although the disabled soldiers could have been protected, he actively requested to go into the battlefield, where he died. Afterward, I heard that he belonged to the team that protected my group of refugees; I even once received food from him…" Lerden shook his head. "I owe everything to the race; therefore, I contribute everything I am able to."
"So, your contributions are to return favors?" Han Xiao turned around and looked at Herlous, who was leaning over, eavesdropping. The man was expressionless, and he turned around and walked away impatiently as if he had absolutely no interest in this kind of conversation.
"Not entirely. It's also for the continuation of my race." After telling the nostalgic story, the sadness from losing comrades earlier was washed away a little. Lerden wanted to know more about Han Xiao as well, so he changed the subject. "Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you. You…"
This time, Han Xiao suddenly stood up and cut him off. "Pardon me, I have a private matter to settle. I need to leave for a while."
Lerden was speechless. Shouldn't friends share such stories? Why is he running away after listening just to my experience? I feel I've been taken advantage of.
Han Xiao walked to the side, found Herlous, and said, "I want to talk to you privately."
Herlous suddenly became cautious. "What do you really want?"
Han Xiao was direct this time. "I know many things about you, such as your strength, what your older brother left for you, and other stuff. Maybe you will be interested to hear about Sunil's future."
Future‽
This word made Herlous very surprised, and he became even more unsure of Han Xiao's goal. "Who are you?"
"I'm a Foreseer, or you can call me… a Prophet."
Han Xiao gave a weird smile.
The reason for him to come into contact with Herlous multiple times was because he knew Herlous' hidden identity—he was the main character of the Sunils!

Extended Cut
Fraternity Vacation
Dr. Cyclops
The Fly Collection
Theatrical Version
Release: Jan 20, 2010 - Author: Doc Idaho - Translator: Zuernling - external link: IMDB
A talented action screenwriter (responsible for Armageddon and Die Hard 3 after all and involved in The Rock and Con Air) gets the possibility to shoot his own script and ends up presenting us with what is to be expected of a writer.
Hensleigh plays it safe, offers textbook directing, doesn't take any chances and whenever there's some sort of movie magic going on, it's simply copied from other movies. No individuality. And it's almost sad when the director talks excitedly about a 50-year-old splitscreen effect, where the same actor can be seen twice in the same image.
Some sure might celebrate this effort as Back to the roots or Old School, but actually it's just a proof that it's not always a good idea, to let a writer shoot his own material when the movie would be better off with an experienced director. The long runtime of the movie also shows this. Hensleigh really put a lot of effort into the story and, as mentioned earlier, he is able to write interesting characters and situations, which would make a good action movie in the hands of a good director. But Hensleigh overdoes it.
There are no less than three extensive subplots in the Extended Cut - one was cut out of the cinematic version - and it seems like that without the help of the producers, Hensleigh couldn't part with any of them. Every experienced director would have managed to cut the movie down to 100 minutes for the cinematic version by removing unnecessary scenes - that would be the ideal runtime for an action movie that has relatively little action to offer.
A writer probably thinks that more things are important and Hensleigh was seemingly enthusiastic when he was able to put the subplot about the traitor back into the movie and try his hands at a epilogue in Kuwait that was never shot - it's only done with animation and still photographs.
The cinematic version was an unspectacular and too long comic book adaptation, which was made passable by good actors and an interesting story and gives us hope that the sequel will be improved in a lot of ways. The Extended Cut is no improvement. At least since here, The Punisher is too long.
A bunch of new scenes running 15:13 minutes are featured in the Extended Cut, making it 140 minutes long. If you add the animated intro, running 4:28 Minuten, you get 144.5 minutes.
A party at the "Saints & Sinners". Saint is amused by how accepted he is in the high society of Tampa. His wife enjoys this kind of lifestyle as well. Then you see Saint's sons in another room. One of them heard about the deal that is supposed to go down in an industrial area later and he is worried that his brother Bobby wants to go there without backup. Their father surely wouldn't want that.
The scene where Frank says goodbye to James Weeks at the party, to return to his family in Puerto Rico, is slightly recut. He has a few extra moments with his friend, they talk about Iraq and the watch, that Frank gave to Jim 13 years ago and now he gets one from Jim as a farewell gift. When Frank walks away, he shouts back to Jim, that he please should stay away from casinos.
25 seconds altogether
After Howard Saint went to the morgue, the scene on the boardwalk is again slightly recut. He additionally learns about James Weeks's gambling problems and decides to get to those responsible for Bobby's death through him.
Shortly thereafter, a scene is missing taking place in one of the Torro's casinos. Howard is a first time guest and both of the brothers are a little insulted because Howard didn't invite them to his place in the last ten years, although they are part of the high society as much as Howard. Howard, who's without a doubt only interested in business relations and not friendships, directly addresses his dead son, without responding to small talk. The situation remains tense. The you see Weeks outside of the casino. The younger Torro offers to kill him immediately. But Howard only wants to talk to him to learn who's responsible for Bobby's death. Weeks is lead into a side room and confronted with his gambling debts and forced into revealing Frank Castle's identity by possibly getting blamed with embezzlement.
The scene, where Frank Castle suddenly returns and Weeks confronts his superior on the great stairs after the press conference, was extended for the Extended Cut, without offering any new information.
After Saint had a talk with the Torros about the lost money, there's a new scene, featuring Frank and Weeks in a park. Weeks tries to convince Frank to leave the town and let him search for his family's killers. Frank refuses and wonders, what happened to Weeks's Porsche, which he has exchanged for a cheap American car. Frank doesn't know yet that he had to do it in order to pay his gambling debts.
There's another scene of Weeks, after Frank kills the killer on the street. Frank tells Weeks, that he wants to leave town, but he doesn't know where to go yet. Frank notices that Weeks's watch is gone. When Weeks notices this, he says, that he has to leave immediately. Frank starts to suspect, that Weeks has something to do with the murder of his family.
Shortly before Frank gets invited to a meal by the other tenants, you see short flashbacks to the moments where it dawned on him that Weeks could be a traitor.
Shortly before the showdown, Frank confronts Weeks about his betrayal in his apartment. Weeks, who already suspected this moment to come, is nervous and grabs the gun that Frank seemingly left lying there unattended, threatens Frank with it, pulls the trigger several times without firing a shot and thus proves his guilt. Luckily, Frank already took out the bullets before. Weeks sees no more chance for himself and gets a single bullet from Frank to kill himself. Weeks sits down in a chair desperate, and even begs Frank to kill him. But he insists on suicide. Finally, Weeks puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger. Frank takes his watch and puts it in the lap of the dead Weeks.
You can also see the subsequently animated version of the beginning in Kuwait, where Frank and Weeks are supposed to arrest two Iraqi soldiers, who killed two UN observers. This was never actually shot because of the budget. While Weeks tries to arrest them and gets ambushed, Frank is just responsible for recon and only interacts when his buddies are in danger. He kills almost all the enemies alone and is able to arrest the assassins. The major wants to execute the prisoners right then and there but Frank tries to prevent that. One of the prisoners is able to grab and arm a grenade from the major, while the Americans are having an argument, and blows up himself and the major. Weeks is able to save Franks live at the last second. An event, which is referred to in the Extended Cut.

Innovation Support
We can all help capture young minds to build career aspiration
It was like watching a light being switched on. The realisation of the wealth of previously hidden opportunities opening up to young people as they listened to other young people talking about the start of their careers, their experiences in careers in the increasingly diverse energy industry.
Innovation and invention is exciting, just the thing to ignite young brains and engage them with thinking about their futures.
The development of offshore renewables is all about new ideas and making it work better for less. Showcasing innovation is key to enticing young people into considering careers in an industry that is fast-paced and quickly changing.
Without people constantly evaluating, 'thinking outside the box' and pushing their ideas further and further, the multi-billion investment we are seeing off our coasts would not be happening.
The ingenious and ambitious ideas we see every day in the SCORE team would inspire the most cynical young mind about how individuals can make an impact on a new industry.
The industry been especially go-ahead in working with young people in the eastern region to engage them to consider careers in the industry from engineering to marketing, taking projects into the classroom to encourage the free thinking and problem solving that will always be needed in the development of the industry.
It highlights the world-leading status of the East of England with decades of growing opportunities ahead.
Young people need to be shown how they can fit into the industry, what skills they need and that there are a host of other roles other than at the "coalface" of offshore wind.
For the right skills to be shaped within schools, teachers need to be engaged too. How inspiring would it be for young people to be able to spend time with small businesses like those who win SCORE grants to push their inventions forward? To witness at a young age that inventors and developing technology and ideas are happening in their community and to have ambition to be a force for change is not a futile or unrealistic ambition would inspire aspiration and determination to follow the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects so desperately needed by the industry.
Schools, under pressure of targets and a tight curriculum, find it hard to build these links into the school day.
But, in the East of England, there is a rapidly-growing supply chain, many small to medium-sized businesses, supporting the massive investment that will stretch ahead for decades. Future jobs are not simply those with the operators in the construction and maintenance of the wind farms off our coast, they are with the numerous and varies supply chain companies supporting it – and that's where schools need to focus to work with smaller companies to find out.
There is much to be achieved on the skills agenda for offshore renewables – and we're only scratching the surface and would benefit from the support of everyone in the industry to invest time in capturing the minds of the future generation, for theirs and the industry's sake.

The SCORE programme is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and delivered by enterprise specialists Nwes, in partnership with energy industry experts Nautilus Associates, the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult; and OrbisEnergy, the offshore renewable innovation hub in Lowestoft, Suffolk.
The programme aims to support 200 innovative businesses and create 100 new jobs. The previous £2.5 million programme invested in 40 projects, support more than 50 companies and helped to generate 70 new jobs.

Kendall Jenner's Billboard Music Awards Flub: Jimmy Kimmel Reveals What Really Happened
Kate Erbland
Kate Erbland Published: May 20, 2014
When Kendall Jenner took the stage at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards, things seemed promising. The younger sister of the Kardashian siblings was tasked with introducing the band 5 Seconds of Summer (admittedly, kind of a hard name to say). While she was able to get a lot of facts down about the band (they are a band! they are on the Billboard charts!), she totally fell down on actually saying their name, which is kind of an essential part of introducing someone. Oops!
But have no fear because Jimmy Kimmel just revealed the reason for Jenner's flub -- it was all marketing, you guys. Marketing, that is, for her brand-new eReader, the Kendall, better known as "The Worst Reader." Get one today!

Today I am going to write about this Maharashtrian delicacy that I feel is so underrated despite of its deliciousness. That's the main reason I want to blog it. It is very simple to make yet makes a good and tasty breakfast, snack or even a dessert. While surfing on YouTube for few breakfast ideas I came across these Ricotta cheese pancakes. Frankly speaking, I have never made pancakes from scratch. I always get the pancake mix from market and simply follow the instructions and present that as a breakfast. Because we don't have much of a liking towards it, its just our easy to make kinda breakfast when we are in a hurry. So I decided to make those Ricotta cheese pancakes from scratch and ended up with a flop show. It resulted in lots of leftover Ricotta cheese in the fridge. And all I do with that cheese is make Mawa/ Khoya for my gajar ka halwa or to make any simple dessert like Pedha etc. While thinking about my flop pancakes, I realized aren't those similar to Khavyachi poli? And yes they are. Why didn't I think of that before. Yes, because it is so underrated, I opted for other alternatives.
The only extra effort in this recipe is that we have to turn that ricotta cheese into Mawa/Khoya. We call it Khava in Marathi. But this can be done even a week before and you can freeze the mawa/khoya in an air tight container so it will be handy when you want to try this recipe. There are many methods to make mawa from ricotta cheese. I prefer to slow cook it. You can pour the cheese in a non-stick pan and keep stirring it with wooden spoon/spatula on low-medium heat until all the water evaporates and the cheese becomes sticky and comes together like dough. Alternatively, you can buy khoya directly from the market. I really don't like the readymade khoya we get here in the US in Indian stores, so I prefer to make it from scratch.
Knead all purpose flour and wheat flour together adding salt and vegetable oil. Dough should be pliable and tacky. Keep it aside covering with cotton cloth or dish.
Heat ghee in a skillet and add khoya and powdered sugar. Keep stirring on medium-low heat until it turns golden brown. Make sure it doesn't burn at the bottom. Continuous stirring is the key to avoid burning. After a while, the moisture will evaporate and the batter will start to come together like dough. Add cardamom powder, nutmeg powder and saffron strands at this moment. Mix well and keep aside to cool down.
Once the khoya mixture is cooled down, make small balls. Also, make equal number of balls of the dough.
Now roll one flour ball to 5 inches in diameter with rolling pin on a dusted rolling board. Put a khoya ball in the center and bring the edges of the rolled disc together so that they cover the khoya ball. Pinch those edges together and make a ball.
Heat a pan on medium heat, once it is hot, place your rolled flatbread on it. Flip it carefully after 2 minutes. At this point you can apply ghee on top. Once the other side is done for 2 minutes, flip it again so the ghee side will go down and that will give your flatbread extra tasty and crispy texture. Apply ghee on the remaining side. The heating time after applying ghee is 30 seconds to 45 seconds and not more than that. Make sure that, the heat is on medium the whole time. Do not attempt roasting on high heat, else it will leave your flatbread either burnt or raw inside.
Serve hot with a glass of milk or simply as it is as a dessert.
You can keep these flatbreads in fridge up to 4 days covered in an air tight container. Microwave on high for 10 seconds before having it.
You can change flour ratio according to your choice. Just remember, all purpose flour adds up the crispiness. If you want more of crisp then add more all purpose flour. Also, it is totally fine if you make it only with all-purpose flour or only with wheat flour.
If you are making khoya from ricotta cheese a day or days ahead then make sure that you thaw it well before using. And do not worry about moisture as it will evaporate as mentioned in second step but will take extra 5 minutes or so.

Rhapsody arrives at the dock
Rhapsody of the Seas enters Sembawang Shipyard
Helen Hutcheon | Mar 02, 2012
After five consecutive extended seasons in Australia, Royal Caribbean International's 78,491gt Rhapsody of the Seas entered Sembawang Shipyard in Singapore Thursday for a month-long US$54m makeover.
'Rhapsody of the Seas has been a tremendous success in Australia and New Zealand where she has hosted over 175,000 guests and developed a loyal following,' said Royal Caribbean Cruises Australia's commercial manager, Adam Armstrong.
'Originally scheduled for only a two-week drydock for regular maintenance, we have since extended the project to four weeks in order to allow a full revitalisation of the entire ship,' he added.
Armstrong said the revitalisation not only covers furnishings and decor, but a host of brand new venues and amenities, including five new specialty dining outlets.
Radiance of the Seas, which joined sister ship Rhapsody of the Seas in Australia for the 2011/12 wave season and departs Sydney on April 5, underwent a major makeover in May last year.
Both 'revitalised' ships return to Australia in October for the 2012/13 season when they will be joined by Voyager of the Seas, the largest ship to be based Down Under for an extended programme. They will offer itineraries ranging from one- to 18-nights around Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Ok so I'm trying to pick a color for my bedroom walls.
This is what my wall looks like right now. And I still don't see THE color on the wall that I have in my head.
I'm thinking robin's egg blue ….or that 50's aqua blue that's so popular now. My room doesn't get a lot of light and everything seems to be a different color on the wall than on that little square in the store. Everything I pick is too bright or too blue.
………..anyone out there in blogland have a color that they love and could recommend???
Here are some postcards from my collection.
Feel free to use them in your art but not for sale in any media type.


London Funders, working with London Voluntary Service Council (LVSC) andGreater London Volunteering (GLV) and others, has commissioned research to look into the future of civil society infrastructure in London with funding from City Bridge Trust.
This work is being overseen by a Project Reference Group made up of colleagues from civil society, local and regional government in London and the private sector. Details of the members of the Reference Group are available here.
A dedicated webpage has been established for this review which will be updated regularly with information, documents and other materials relating to this project and its progress.
We are building on our conversations which started at the LVSC/GLV Future of Voluntary Sector Infrastructure in London conference in April, and other discussions that have taken place over the summer, and we are keen to ensure that we continue to engage with as many stakeholders and interested parties as possible as the work emerges. Emerging findings will be produced towards the end of October / beginning of November with the final report due to be completed by December, and over the next few weeks a number of engagement and consultation activities are being planned, including a range of focus groups targeted at particular stakeholder groups, one-to-one interviews and an online survey. We encourage you to respond to these as promptly as possible to ensure that your views are heard. The focus groups and details of how to book can be found here.
We have also set up a dedicated email account consult@londonfunders.org.uk and are very keen to encourage people to submit their views and ideas on how civil society in London can best be supported in order to make the biggest difference for Londoners. Additionally if you have strong views or opinions about the future of civil society support in London and would be willing to write a blog for the website then please contact the project team at consult@londonfunders.org.uk .

Nook and Nest opening on Main Street this Saturday
By Kylee Mullen, Staff Reporter kmullen@amestrib.com
Nook and Nest, an Ames Main Street home boutique offering a collection of decor and entertaining pieces, will officially open its doors Saturday morning after years of planning.
Store owner Mindy Bergstrom said, "I've been planning Nook and Nest for about 10 years, and it's something I've wanted to do for a really long time. I've been drawing storefronts, and the name Nook and Nest has been sitting in my back pocket."
Located in the Sheldon Munn Building, at 309 Main St., the store will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. It will have regular hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday.
Bergstrom said she always wanted to own her own store, but it never became a reality while she was working in the Twin Cities. That changed, however, after she purchased and remodeled Main Street staple Cooks' Emporium.
"I had no plans to open Nook and Nest for at least a couple of years," she said. "When Cooks' Emporium was under remodel, we had to find a temporary location, and we moved into this storefront. Then, I just kind of decided to stay longer and start a second store."
Once Cooks' Emporium moved back into its 313 Main St., storefront last month, Bergstrom began preparing Nook and Nest for its grand opening.
While she originally planned to open Nook and Nest as an online store prior to establishing a brick-and-mortar location, she said, "It all just kind of worked out to do it now."
"Its going to be great that the stores are so close to each other, because we can play off of each other," she said. "Cooks Emporium has the traditional-style cookware, bakeware and gadgets for the kitchen. Nook and Nest will have the pretty part of entertaining like placemats, cloth napkins, entertaining pieces and decor for the rest of your home."
Inspired by the Danish lifestyle trend hygge, the store's furniture, home decor and entertaining pieces are chosen to create a feeling of coziness and contentment.
"That's kind of what I want this space to be," she said. "It's a bunch of products that all work together. They make you happy, are functional and are pretty. Everything in this store, I would have in my own house. I know the quality is there, and I love the stories behind a lot of the brands I'm bringing in."
Amy Zmolek, employee at both Nook and Nest and Cook's Emporium, said she is impressed by the quality of products Bergstrom is incorporating into the new storefront, and she looks forward to the store's opening day.
"This is very similar to what you would find in a big city," Zmolek said. "This is Minneapolis-type of stuff. For me, looking at what she is filling this store with, this is a great opportunity for a town of our size."
According to Bergstrom, the store is not completely finished. She expects to receive more products within the coming weeks, expanding her men's and kid's sections as well as adding to the existing entertaining and decor pieces. However, she said, she couldn't wait any longer to open the doors.
"We still have some empty gaps here and there, but it will fill up with time," she said. "I'm too anxious to just sit here with all of this beautiful product and not be able share it with everyone else, so we are opening a little earlier."
Bergstrom said she is excited to welcome the Ames community to Nook and Nest, and she is already looking toward the store's future.
"As the space evolves, I think it would be fun to host events and small gatherings here, like book clubs in the evening time," she said. "I just want the space to be inviting and used. And we really do have a lot of unique items to offer that are not on Main Street. I think this store will be a nice complement to the other stores that exist here today."

First Episode Psychosis programs serve people 15 to 40 years old with early signs of psychosis. Psychosis can be treated, and early treatment increases the chance of a successful recovery.
"Psychosis" describes conditions that affect the mind when there has been some loss of contact with reality. Psychosis can include hallucinations, paranoia, delusions, and disordered thoughts and speech, and can affect people from all walks of life.
Psychosis often begins when a person is in his or her late teens to mid-twenties.
Psychosis can be a symptom of a mental illness, such as schizophrenia, or result from the use of medications, alcohol or drugs.
Three out of 100 people will experience psychosis at some time in their lives, and about 100,000 adolescents and young adults in the US experience first episode psychosis each year.
Reducing the time it takes for a person experiencing psychosis to get treatment is important because early treatment often means an increased likelihood of a successful recovery. Yet, studies have shown that it is common for a person to have psychotic symptoms for more than a year before receiving treatment.

So So Satisfied
Ashford & Simpson
While songwriters Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson penned enough hits at Motown to last a lifetime, the creative well was far from dry when the duo signed to Warner Bros. as performers in the mid-1970s. SO SO SATISFIED was the husband-and-wife team's fourth longplayer for the label, and opener "Tried, Tested And Found True" is an apt description of the set's superb songcraft, rich orchestration and lushly romantic atmosphere. "Over and Over," "Destiny" and the title track are other highlights of the self-produced album, which set the stage for a trio of gold records that followed. Out now on spring-green vinyl, this 1977 collection will leave R&B fans SO SO SATISFIED.

Made by Unknown (person) in Hermannsburg, Northern Territory, c.1965.
This rug is of great significance because of the rarity of it and also it's historical importance of combining traditional Indigenous stitching techniques with modern European patchwork influences in the design.
It represents the work that was being produced at Hermannsburg during the 1960s. The label attached to the back of the rug "Product of Hermannsburg Mission Central Australia" also contributes to its rare significance as there are only two of these rugs known in existence.
A rug made from 16 pieces of kangaroo skin that have been cut into diamond shapes, sewn together and then attached onto a brown felt backing. Makers label attached.
The label "Product of Hermannsburg Mission Central Australia" is sewn on the back of the rug.
This rug was produced by several unknown women from the Hermannsburg Mission tannery, Northern Territory in about 1965.
These kangaroo rugs appear to have been produced to sell as products of the Hermannsburg Mission in the early-mid 1960s.
Historically Indigenous people made and used skin rugs and cloaks for warmth during the colder season and to lay on at night to sleep. This particular rug is of historical importance as it represents a shared cultural background being made with traditional Aboriginal hand stitching whilst using the introduced European patchwork design elements.
The untanned skins for this rug were provided by Ellen Blunden, then a governess at a Cattle Station in Central Ausstralia. The finished rug has been in Ellen's possession since then.

Nafta talks setting the political timetable
The first round of the tripartite Canada-Mexico-US talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) were held in Washington DC between 16 and 20 August. How they will progress is still something of a guessing game with the US in particular setting potentially overambitious objectives while simultaneously suggesting Nafta might be doomed anyway. What is clear is that the Nafta talks are going to play a major part in the domestic political timetables of both Mexico and the US.
