Use a Beverage Dispenser to Hold and Serve Drinks at Events
A beverage dispenser allows you to set up a self-serve drink station at your buffet, catered event, hotel lobby, or cafe. Our models are available in different shapes, sizes, and capacities, so you're sure to find a drink dispenser for your low- or high-volume needs. You can also choose from dispensers of different material makeups, colors, and styles to complement your establishment's decor. Read more
Our selection of dispensers includes both insulated and non-insulated styles. An insulated beverage dispenser is fully insulated to keep hot contents warm and cold drinks chilled throughout events. Non-insulated styles are typically more visually-appealing, but are only suitable for cold drinks like iced tea, lemonade, water, and cocktails. No matter what type of dispenser you choose, it will come with an easy-to-use spigot that enables leak-free dispensing.
You'll also find replacement parts and accessories to use with your drink dispenser. From faucets and gaskets to lids and risers, we have you covered. Accessory items like soup carriers and hand washing stations are also available to increase the functionality of your unit.
Top Products
Uninsulated Dispensers
Serve and present chilled beverages like juice, water, iced tea, and cocktails at your next event in these uninsulated dispensers. These dispensers feature plastic, glass, or stainless steel containers, so we're sure to have an option that will complement the casual or sophisticated decor of your establishment. You can also choose from dispensers of various capacities depending on your low- or high-volume needs. You'll find select styles with ice cores or infusions chambers, as well, that hold ice, fruits, or cucumbers.
247 Products
Insulated Dispensers
Insulated dispensers feature thick insulation to keep hot beverages warm and cold beverages chilled throughout the entirety of your event. Use these dispensers to hold and serve drinks like coffee, cocoa, hot water, iced tea, and lemonade. Our selection includes options of different colors, and you can choose from models with various features like elevated faucets that provide more clearance for dispensing liquid into tall cups and mugs.
103 Products
Parts and Accessories
We carry a selection of parts and accessories for your insulated or non-insulated beverage dispenser. Check out our replacement parts, including faucets, latch kits, risers, and lids to keep your dispensers operating efficiently. You'll find accessory items like hand washing stations and soup carriers, as well, that will enhance the performance and functionality of your unit.
By setting out a beverage dispenser in your hotel lobby, cafe, or catered event, customers will be able to easily pour themselves a drink at their own convenience. This will eliminate the need for wait staff to constantly refill drink orders, allowing them to pay more attention to meal delivery. Whether you're looking for a single container style to serve one type of beverage, or you need a multi-container option so you can offer a variety of drinks, we have what you need. For other great supplies to set out at your drink station, check out our beverage glasses, beverage napkins, and straws.

The New Zealand Moa has been extinct since 1500 AD. It must have been preserved by the ancient Forerunners and placed on Reach as well as Earth. Interesting!

They're the birds that look like a mix between an ostrich and a chocobo. You're best bet is to run through the level on easy or normal don't worry about the enemies just run through to the check points and shoot them when you see them. Don't quote me on this but I think there are 10 total so you can miss a few and still get the achievement.

I completed this on Co-Op Legendary, Single on Heroic and ran through it on Easy w/o dying....no achievement. The awards I did get were all the way up to get 200 kills without dying. I never died once or restarted the level and I counted at least 15 of them that I killed.

You can't get most Halo: Reach Achievements on Easy. Usually Normal, Hard or Legendary

Saturday, September 18, 2010 @ 07:22:12 PM
I've been through this level on normal, heroic and legendary, killing at least 15 of the buggers each time without getting this achievement. Can anyone confirm that you have to kill seven without dying? What is the deal with this freaking 5 pointer?

|Comment #15 by XToastySniperX
Tuesday, September 21, 2010 @ 08:49:30 PM
I believe you can only kill seven; no more, no less. Try that to see if it unlocks.
If not, your best bet is to either forget about it, for possibly it is just a bug.
|Comment #16 by takisama
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 @ 04:43:41 AM
Yeah, needs to be on at least Normal difficulty. Also, killing them with a vehicle doesn't count. Be sure to either shoot or melee them to make it count. As soon as you hit 7 it should pop, regardless of how many more you kill.
|Comment #17 by The Mayo
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 @ 04:55:50 AM
Yeah when you choose a difficulty, hover over Easy and it says "Achievements cannot be unlocked on this difficulty", so normal or above without dying or running them over

Friday, September 24, 2010 @ 12:59:34 PM
I confirmed that there at least 13 on the entire area. And the achievement unlocks right when you kill your 7th. Just do it on Normal so you can sprint through and get this one over with.

It's called Keep It Clean because you're killing things you do not need to,
so fighting "dirty"
Keeping it clean would be killing only the covenant.

There are only a certain amount of Moa on the first level. If you die trying to kill them, your kill count resets. Keep that in mind if you're trying to earn this "achievement."

I used the pistol, one shot one kill, and received the achievement on my seventh bird. I think you have to start mission from the beginning and go all the way through, it didn't work when I tried to restart from last save and get seven that way.
|Comment #40 by akaMIREX
Wednesday, March 09, 2011 @ 09:33:28 AM
Don't over complicate it! You just nee to kill 7 of the Birds, without dying, on the second mission, on Normal or above, with a gun (not mellee or squashing!).
|Comment #41 by DrPlumm420

you dont need to use bullets. i just punched them. its easier since they dont run away when you get near them.

Did this with all sorts of different guns on normal after I beat the game solo on legendary and got it - u just can't die or restart it looks like u have to kill 7 without dying or restating a check point that's how I got it

Does melee-ing them count towards the achievement? I personally find it easier to melee them. Saves bullets.

The main thing I like about this product is that it's easy to apply, but the tip does come off slightly. It doesn't fully snap so there's a tip to work with, but too much pressure will break it off. Because of this it does need frequent sharpening. It does a pretty good job at keeping lipstick in place. It cost $19 at Sephora, which isn't terrible. Unfortunately the Sephora website no longer seems to have it in stock.

Because I live in Canada, I cannot for the life of me find the NYX version of this. I went into Sephora and picked this up for $28 after tax. It's a smooth, creamy-to-tacky colourless wax that seriously locks colour in. I'm one sweaty broad, so this + the ELF finishing spray on the face and lips? Buy it. Just please, please buy it.

I have a red lip liner I have to have, but I have a ton of lipsticks and I don't want to keep buying liners to match them all, I just need something to keep them from feathering. This is a colorless, wax pencil to do just that. It works really well, and is so creamy. It glides on your lips with no pull or tugging. I tried the same kind of pencil from Maybelline, and there is no comparison, this is much better quality. If you only buy one lip liner, buy this one and you won't be disappointed.

This is an excellent lip liner I have a lot of dark or bright lipsticks and some Lip Tars and this liner has been amazing in preventing bleeding or feathering with the dark colours. For example I use it with Black Dahlia first I line my lips I go a little outside my lip line. This goes on so smooth and once it's on you don't even feel it. I then apply the OCC Lip Tar in clear/primer I let that absorb. Then I go in with the Black Dahlia now if you haven't seen the colour it's a gorgeous dark berry tone like Black Honey but way more pigmented.
With this liner it does not budge past where I have applied it. So I can even give the illusion of bigger lips because it won't bleed out. Also this lip pencil does not dry out my lips at all. It's like a soft creamy moisturizer so no worries when it comes to that issue. Also it's the same price as UD's Ozone which I want to get as well to compare. Since I own Revolution lippies but the Mufe works great with Jilted which is a bright blue based fuschia. So I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy it when I run out or get a backup.
Overall this is a great pencil I have nothing negative at all to say about it. Totally worth the cash because it works so well, and you only really need it if you are wearing super bright/dark colours, or have issues with feathering/bleeding so it lasts. Totally Recommended!

I like using a clear or reverse lip liner. It goes with any lippie and you're not searching for a matching lip liner. Even though I like this and would buy it again, I'll stick to Maybelline's clear lip liner which does the same thing for half the price.

This product is holy grail status for me. It's clear, so it goes with any shade. It's convenient because when I travel instead of bringing multiple lip liners to match lipsticks I just bring this one along. The quality is good just like other MUFE products I own. It applies very smoothly and isn't drying.
I love the simplicity of this product. I strongly recommend this and will repurchase.

I got this a few days ago and i love it.It keeps lipstick from bleeding and it fairly longlasting.I thought i would need a coloured lip liner over it but i don't.The only drawback is that it needs sharpening every time you use it and the pencil itself is't very long.

I always wanted to try Cargo's whatchamacallit outer lip liner, but my local Sephora stopped carrying the brand. I saw this on my last trip to Sephora. It is described as "A colorless lip liner that prevents lipstick from bleeding over the lip line." I have a couple of MUFE lip liners and I like them very much, so I decided to give this a try. It's really quite good. What I like is that it's totally colorless. You can apply it on clean skin or over foundation.
So far, I've used this twice, over foundation, and it has performed very efficiently. As usual in summer, makeup tends to become a bit "runny," which is why I prefer to use lipsticks and stains rather than glosses. But I do like products like Revlon's lip butters. I use this OUTSIDE the lip line. Then I gently smudge it with my finger (you can also do this with your lip brush), and apply a dust of powder on top. It was very hot where I live today. I wore my Revlon's lip butter with this and my outer lip line remained matte and pristine. Yay! I'm going to try it with my dark colored Revlon stain (the new variety). I'm lucky that at my age, I still don't have vertical wrinkles around my lips However, the RLS bled every so slightly the other day, so next time I use that, I'll pair it with this lovely liner. So far, I do recommend it.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Would I have wanted us to be in a better position drafting, yea? But honestly, really u can't grade a draft until u see the finished product. Wit only 6 picks this could turn out to be our best draft ever. The top picks feel annointed, like they're entitled or something. I'd much rather have thee hungry players we drafted than the guys soon fed witt a silver spoon. They may not be exactly wut we're looking for butt they're hungry enuff 2 surpass their expectations & be solid. Talent is injury humbled in humble situations. The players we drafted fit the change taking place in oakland. I just want to see the finished product on the field so we can prove the haters all wrong.

Hello all,
I'm looking for a kind of plugin (don't know what for name it could have, so difficult to look for, but may-be some people knows what I mean).
Add the end of all my blog-posts I want to add a oneliner. Of course it would be possible to type it just as part of my post, but I prefer it do define it in some extra input box. By doing this, I can give it a special lay-out, collect a list of one-liners, etc..
Anyone knows what I mean, and if such a plugin exists (and if not, how you can make it?)

A critical period in the life of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, beloved writer ofmany short stories and a half-dozen novels focusing on life in the South,including "The Yearling" (awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1939) and "CrossCreek" (published in 1942), is the subject of an original play written byDeborah B. Dickey, a local resident active in theatre with Jean Rahner's AClassic Theatre (ACT) as director and dramaturg.
Performances of "Cross Roads: Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Norton S. Baskinin Unguarded Moments" are 7:30 p.m. May 14-16 in the Flagler Room of FlaglerCollege, 74 King St. The shows are offered as part of Romanza Week. To learn more about this seven-day event, go to romanzastaugustine.org.
Nancy Grote reprises her role as Rawlings who she portrayed so convincinglyin ACT¹s "My Friend Zelma" several seasons ago. "Crossroads" reveals a farmore personal, tellingly passionate heroine, and her almost desperatesearch, at age 37 (after divorcing Charles Rawlings, her husband of 14years, in 1933) for a good marriage that provides "a solid basis of a jointlife."
She recounts how, soon after the divorce, she and Margaret Mitchell, authorof "Gone With The Wind," met and became good friends. Both had suffereddisastrous first marriages. She confesses, "Work does not complete my life."
She soon meets and immediately becomes interested in Norton S. Baskin,played by Ashley Carter, seen recently in ACT's production of "Is Life WorthLiving?" (Kelly McTaggert, last seen in ACT's "My Friend Zelma" will portrayNorton on May 16.)
Norton is converting a mansion he bought in St. Augustineinto the Castle Warden Hotel (now Ripley¹s Believe It Or Not Museum) whileshe divides her time between Cross Creek (in a house on a 72-acre orangegrove, which she bought in 1928 with the small inheritance from her mother)and a beach cottage in Crescent Beach, 10 miles south of St. Augustine,which she bought after the divorce.
The play's main stem is the letters they exchange.
Baskin, although expressing his deep love for Marjorie, clearly does his best to avoid marriage. Marjorie perseveres, and following a fight that she confesses made her "terribly afraid it can¹t be fixed," they marry.
Norton opened his hotel on Dec. 7, 1941; World War II had come to America.Too old for the draft, Norman volunteers as a member of the American FieldService, and serves as an ambulance driver in India.
Marjorie suffers the torments and fears of a loving wife thousands of milesfrom the war zone. The play concludes with his safe return.
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings died in 1953 at age 57, after only 12 years ofmarriage. Norton Baskin, who died in 1997, lived to age 96. After the War,he sold his hotel, and managed Marineland¹s Dolphin Restaurant (sincerazed.)
Tickets are $20. Reservations can be made by calling 829-5807. firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jets' Geno Smith Fires Agents, Indicates Decision Was Not Solely Because Of NFL Draft
Published May 1, 2013
WAS SMITH LED ASTRAY? CBS Sports Network's Doug Gottlieb said for agents to "land a client like Geno Smith, you have to fill him full of bull and tell him, 'We think you can be the No. 1 pick.'" But CBS Sports Net's Allie LaForce said, "Then when you're wrong, it's all your fault. Shouldn't you have more responsibility as an agent in letting him know his realistic options?" Gottlieb: "I would say it all depends on the agent/player relationship" ("Lead Off," CBSSN, 4/30). SportsNet N.Y.'s Adam Schein said, "Some people say it shows immaturity. I say he was with some of the worst agents in the NFL" ("Loudmouths," SNY, 4/30). Meanwhile, ESPN's Tim Hasselbeck noted there has been "plenty of talk about and questions over how Geno Smith handles ... adversity, handles the heat." If he dismissed his agents because of the Draft experience, then it is "not a good sign." Hasselbeck: "It didn't matter who his agent was, the fact is teams are picking who they've evaluated and who they want. They're not picking a guy because of who represents him" ("NFL 32," ESPN2, 4/30).

Bank of America Cuts Off Credit to Some Small Businesses
The faucet is off for some small businesses.
Bank of America is severing lines of credit for some of its small-business owners and calling due full payment on existing debts. Absent that, the bank is offering businesses abbreviated repayment plans at high interest rates. According to a spokesman for the bank, which is attempting to raise capital and minimize risks, changes will apply to recipients of only a "very small percentage" of its 3.5 million non-mortgage loans. Happy New Year.

New Zealand Post has confirmed 90 jobs will be lost when it
closes its Waikato mail processing centre.
Last June NZ Post announced it was closing its Waikato,
Wellington and Dunedin mail centres, at a cost of 500 jobs in
Engineering, printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU) postal
industry organiser Joe Gallagher said closing the Waikato
mail centre would impact the whole community.
"The fact is that Post is still very profitable, but the
government has given them permission to reduce delivery days,
reduce the level of service provided to the community, and
cut jobs up and down the country," said Mr Gallagher.
"It's really disappointing that we have a government more
interested in building new roads than investing in jobs and
regional development."
EPMU members at NZ Post would be entitled to redundancy pay
under their collective agreement.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

The Temple Owls will open the 2013 football season at Notre Dame, the 2011 Temple football media guide reveals.
Temple will travel to face the Fighting Irish at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend on August 31, 2013. The game appears to be part of the three-game series that was scheduled between the two schools in February.
The 2013 game will be the first ever meeting between the two schools. The Owls host Notre Dame at Lincoln Financial Field on Oct. 11, 2014 before the series returns to South Bend on Sept. 26, 2015.
With the Temple game now slotted for 2013, Notre Dame's 2013 football schedule is nearly complete. The Irish have a full slate of 12 games scheduled and the only game without a tentative date is a road game at Air Force.
The 2013 schedule for Notre Dame could end up being one of the toughest ever. The Irish host BYU, Michigan State, Navy, Oklahoma, USC and Temple and travel to face Air Force, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Purdue and Stanford. There's also a game against Arizona State at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
Temple also has a daunting 2013 football schedule, at least in the non-conference portion. The Owls open the season with back-to-back road trips at Notre Dame and Maryland. Temple also travels to face Connecticut and hosts Army.
Football Schedules:
The Croatian Crusher, Larry Conjar played on the 1966 National Championship team at ND, His 1st cousin Steve Conjar played on the 1979 nationally ranked Temple owls who beat the University of Calif in the Garden State Bowl. Steve Conjar is the All Time leading tackler at Temple with 492 as a linebacker and 4 year starter. It will be great to meet up with Larry for this game at ND, 2 cousins with 1st meeting between our schools

I am asking this question as the preliminary to start working on one of my fun-project. I am thinking of coding this in python so I guess, I have to go with pyAudio (please suggest me if there are better libraries for this other than pyAudio). My goal is to create a program that can record somebody's voice. This is simple. However, how can I identify the voice from the user after I have recorded his voice in one/multiple sample? What distinguishes one voice from other and how can python be implemented to achieve this?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

Have you thought on using an Speech Recognition engine as a basis for your project? You can, for instance, write python code to run CMU sphinx (an BSD option) http://sphinx.subwiki.com/sphinx/index.php/Sphinx3_python_quickstart . Don't know what is you're intention with your fun-project, but if you don't want to study speech recognition algorithms , this could be a good option.

From the Publisher: Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian. But on the brink of fatherhood-facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf-his casual questioning took on an urgency His quest for answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and wrong. Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir and his own detective work, Eating Animals explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting. Marked by Foer's profound moral ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and creativity that made his previous books, Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, widely loved, Eating Animals is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories we've told-and the stories we now need to tell.

Add a Watermark to a Video with ffmpeg
Easy in LiVES 1.3.3
Sorry Mitch, no time to make that video guide yet ! But I am happy to say that as of LiVES 1.3.3, this is really easy, since I added the Image Overlay effect into the main distro.
1) Open your video in LiVES from the File menu
2) Making sure you are in Clip Edit mode (if in multitrack, press ctrl-e), select Effects -> Image Overlay. Choose your image file/logo (it can be any type of image, including png with alpha). Select the start position, image size (or use natural size), and start alpha (0 for fully opaque). Select end position, end size and end alpha (so you can make it move around or fade in/out). Click OK.
3) After the effect has completed, select File -> Encode clip as, and encode the updated clip.
Unfortunately LiVES cannot
Unfortunately LiVES cannot rapidly open AVCHD files and has some massive deal breakers as I noted over on its article here:
I tried Kdenlive which was the most promising, but the amount of bugs that thing has, coupled with a requirement to recompile FFMPeg to use AAC and H264 (which still doesn't give you the ability to encode in those formats...I'm waiting for an answer on WHY that is on their forums even after spending some time looking for and implementing various answers) as well as the fact that even when using MTS formats the damn thing can't even keep the audio and video in sync, that program is a waste of time. Open Movie Editor doesn't work. Cindellerra can't open the files, and already transcoded files it can't do anything with (not to mention playback of audio is jacked up). Blender tells me FFMPeg can't understand the file.
Basically I've gone through nearly every single video editing solution on Linux and not one of them, not a one, can do the simple task of adding a watermark to the video file I'm trying to create without a deal breaking caveat. AVIDemux used to be everything I needed, but then they just removed the Logo function without informing anyone, and after nearly a year (or more) still no word on its restoration.
I'm really wondering if there's a product out there that works at all, given that even the pay for stuff on windows is so buggy as to make it unuseable. I feel like I did when I first started with DV files and nothing worked to edit those.
i used Avisynth, but i'm a
i used Avisynth, but i'm a windows user :D
Heh, this is all well and
Heh, this is all well and good, but now vhook isn't even included in my ditro. It's gone completely to libavfilter, which is fine if I could figure out how to make that do the same thing as vhook when applying a watermark. There does not appear to be any useable way of including a watermark in linux anymore. AVIDemux removed their support for 'logos' and the libavfilter documentation looks to be Greek to me in regards to actually making it do something useful. Kino was mentioned as a possibility, but the shear amount of time it takes for the kinds of video files I deal with makes it impractical. Other options like building a custom build of ffmpeg with vhook still in (if I understood the suggestion on the Ubuntu boards correctly) is a place I'd rather not go on my system. Any suggestions at this point?
I haven't found a great solution yet. You can take a look at this article, it works although it does have some limitations. Check the comments also as there are some suggestions there that you might want to investigate also.
One would hope that the vhook replacement would see the light of day soon.

Works Sort Of
Hi All,
Got the watermarking to work sort of. I have the watermark but I also have a gray cast to the original video. Looks like the 808080 background is not transparent. Any ideas?
Check Your Image
For reference, the purpose of the 808080 is described below (taken from the ffmpeg documentation):
The watermark picture works like this (assuming color intensities 0..0xFF): Per color do this: If mask color is 0x80, no change to the original frame. If mask color is < 0x80 the absolute difference is subtracted from the frame. If result < 0, result = 0. If mask color is > 0x80 the absolute difference is added to the frame. If result > 0xFF, result = 0xFF.
The only thing I can think of is that you've got a problem with the image and it's not in the format that you think it is. Double check the background to make sure it's all 808080. Also make sure that the image is the same size as the video. The documentation doesn't state what, if anything, might be done to an image that is of a different size than the video before it's used to watermark the video.
This is a known good watermark image, try it and see what you get from it.

ffmpeg removed support for
ffmpeg removed support for vhook a while ago, at least in SVN, in favor of libavfilter. You can see the note here: http://windforce.ellil.net/d/ffmpeg/hooks.html. Therefore, this vhook idea isn't going to work unless you are using an old version of ffmpeg, and it's no longer supported anyway. :(
Not that Old
It was deprecated in the 0.5 version that was released in March of this year and won't be removed until the next version.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Stem cells may be the answer for lowering healthcare costs and Lanza may be a great mind but ACTC continues to be less relevant each and every day because they are being led by a delusional CEO and Chairman of the Board that continues to whistle past the grave yard of bankruptcy. ACTC has been insolvent for some time but as long as Gary can extend the fiction he continues to get paid the big bucks. All the assets belong in fact to the CAM's. The dream has in fact become a nightmare! Sorry for all shareholders and true believers but hopefully one of the many competitors that have materialized will have better luck. How long before ACTC finally has to turn off the lights for the last time. ACTC has become a scam company being manipulated by a man who has chosen a dark path. It's very sad for him and of course the victims he continues to cheat. How can he get Lanza and Langer to say nothing? Because they are buying into the idea of buying time for another company to take up the Stem Cell cause. Gary is what he is and sooner or later people will figure it out. Of course this is all conjecture by a disappointed x-shareholder.
I don't believe you can short a 6 cent otc stock,or put a tight stop on it like some say they do. Folks get burned by these otc stocks and bash because they have lost money. No ones making any here except garie and insiders..and they may have to pay some of that back eventualy in lawsuits. Results not given out as promised so many are angry. It is what it is.
Sentiment: Sell
Short positions will be dead in the water, the future looks bleak for those bashers betting the farm that this stock won't go up. I sure would not want to be on that losing side, plus they don't even make much money bashing.
Sentiment: Hold
The smart ones have sold. The remainder are the true-believers. They will leave later with the wailing and the grinding of the sheep teeth.
One too many s's (sss) on your name. Nice try though. Are you philmytek ? He or you all have many id's . Jumping ship routine. Real good! It is getting old.

Mudslide Hits Indonesian Plantation
As many as 70 people were feared dead after a landslide struck an Indonesian tea plantation Tuesday, an Indonesian disaster-management official said.
Priyadi Kardono, spokesman for Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency, said that as of Tuesday night only five people were officially confirmed dead in the disaster, which occurred after days of heavy rain in the village of Tenjoljaya, on Indonesia's main island of Java. But an additional 65 or so were buried and "most likely are dead," he said, because of the difficulty in retrieving them from the giant mass of mud and rock. The National Disaster Management Agency monitors natural disasters in Indonesia and helps coordinate relief efforts.
The landslide swept over roughly 50 houses and buildings near the Perkebunan Teh Dewata tea plantation, the Associated Press reported. No heavy earth-moving equipment was available in the area, forcing villagers to dig through tons of dislodged mud with farm tools and their hands to search for survivors, the AP said, citing comments from police Chief Lt. Col. Imron Yunus.
Red Cross officials were preparing to send in a helicopter and excavating equipment Wednesday, at which time the official death count would likely rise, officials said. Survivors who lost their homes were being evacuated to temporary shelters nearby.
Deadly mudslides are a regular occurrence in Indonesia. In October, mudslides triggered by a massive earthquake off the coast of Sumatra island wiped out a valley of villages, killing dozens of people.

Director M. Night Shyamalan contributed to the superhero film genre with Unbreakable, and it turned out to be one of his better efforts in the scheme of things. His new movie Devil kicks off what he hopes will be the Night Chronicles trilogy, however, and the third of those three films could end up using a concept he previously intended to feature in Unbreakable 2.
"I cannibalized the idea for the sequel to Unbreakable for one of the Night Chronicles," Shyamalan told MTV News.
He admitted that he has yet to decide what he might eventually do instead for an Unbreakable sequel, but he called the movie one of his two favorites (along with The Village) out of everything he's made.
"It was such a cool idea for a villain, and it was actually originally in the script for Unbreakable, and it was too much," he explained. "There were too many villains, so I pulled this villain out and was like, 'I'll make this the second flick.'"
And now you'll have a reason to watch Devil and the subsequent Night Chronicles installments, for better or worse.
Actually Brian, I was looking forward to Devil because Shyamalan isn't soo involved.
He'd probably just contribute story to this one too, I'd think.
Here's what I don't get. Is this whole "Night Chronicles" thing supposed to be branded after his name? Because that takes a pair, man.
I was recently at a free advance screening of Scott Pilgrim and before the movie they showed the trailer for Devil. The audience was kinda getting into the trailer until the words "based on an idea by M. Night Shyamalan" came onto the screen and then the audience let out a huge collective groan. If they're branding these movies on M. Night's name, they might want to reconsider they're marketing strategy.
thats exactly how it went down at the advance Scott Pilgrim screening I was at…derisive laughter as soon as his name came out.

As filmmaker James Cameron began the panel spotlight on his newest film, âAvatar,â at Comic-Con International, he had two questions for fans: âOne â how many of you have ever wanted to go to another planet? And two â are you ready to go to Pandora?â
With this, Cameron revealed over twenty minutes of his first feature production since âTitanic.â It unspooled on all screens contained within the San Diegoâs Convention Center Hall H in glorious 3-D, and from the reaction of those present, they are ready to book return-tickets to the planet of Pandora.
The movie is set during the 22nd century on a small moon called Pandora which is inhabited by the Naâvi â ten-foot tall blue humanoids who are peaceful unless attacked. Humans canât breathe Pandoran air, so genetically-engineered human/Naâvi hybrids (known as Avatars) are created which can be controlled via a mental link. A paralyzed Marine named Jake Scully (played by Sam Worthington) exists as one of these Avatars, but things get complicated when he falls in love with a Naâvi princess (actress Zoë Saldana) and gets caught up in the conflict between the Naâvi and the human military that is consuming Pandora.
The scenes Cameron revealed to the crowd were amazing in terms of storytelling, CGI, design, and 3-D effects. The presentation began with a simple scene of actor Stephen Lang (head of security for Hellâs Gate â the human compound on Pandora) warning the latest batch of recruits about the dangers present. He told them, âMy job is to keep you alive. I wonât succeed with all of you.â
We are then treated to a scene of Jake seeing his Avatar for the first time, followed by a meeting with head of the Avatar program, Dr. Grace Augustine (played by Sigourney Weaver). This lead to a clip where Jake was âlinkedâ with his Avatar, and we got to see the blue, ten-foot tall creature move around. Itâs fairly amazing â the avatar moves very naturally and interacts with real-world items in a way thatâs seamless.
Next, we finally got to see Pandora itself, with Jake and some other Avatars exploring the land. The artistry of this scene is mind-blowing. Cameron has created an entire world with its own unique plant-life and animals, and immerses the audience in the environment via the 3-D, which only makes the monsters that then attack seem that much more frightening.
The scares then subsided with a scene of Pandora at night. It is here that Jake met the Naâvi that Saldana plays. And if the audience reacted with pleasure to the sight of Pandora in the day, they wondered at the spectacle of the planetâs nighttime views. Somewhere between a rain forest and a neon disco, every part of the theater seemed to come alive in this portion of the presentation.
The final scene previewed was one where Jake had to wrestle with a pterodactyl-like creature and form a mental link with it. Once that was done, the flying animal became his personal aerial transport and took him into the sky. And thanks to Cameronâs efforts, the whole audience was soaring by the end of clip.
With that, the lights came up and the audience applauded loudly. The filmmaker explained that he made this film for the fourteen-year old boy that exists in the back of his mind. âI took my favorite science fiction books, comic book, old movies, dropped them in a blender, and this is what came out.â
Cameron then brought out Jon Landau, the producer of âAvatarâ (as well as âTitanicâ). Following that, several actors from the film came out, including Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Zoë Saldana. Actor Sam Worthington couldnât be present due to production on another film, but he sent a video message expressing his hopes that audiences will like the film.
The panel was then opened to questions from the audience, and considering Cameronâs long absence from theaters, there were inquiries a-plenty. One of the first fans to the microphone asked Weaver what it was like to re-team with Cameron, who she last worked with on âAliens.â
âWeâve kept in touch and we picked up right where we left off,â she said. âIt felt just as normal as could be, but better. Jim really cares about his actors. Heâs always saying, âWhat do you want to try? Letâs try this. Letâs try that.âWorking with Jim is not like anything else Iâve ever experienced.â
Next, Saldana was asked about all the training required for her role. âYou definitely have to take Jim seriously,â she explained. âI remember he asked me about my level of tolerance when we first started planning and strategizing on how the training was going to be. Seven days a week, I was taking Wu-Shu training, archery â which I still now practice â horseback riding, extensive dialect training. I was also lifting weights with Sam â in solidarity.â
Saldana went on about the linguistics coach and the difficulties of speaking the Naâvi dialect â thatâs right, in addition to creating an entire world, Cameron created a whole new language. He worked with a doctor at USC and spent two years developing the Naâvi language and culture.
The next audience member directed a question to Cameron about an actor he has worked with several times in the past, Arnold Schwarzenegger, now the Governor of California. He, along with several other members of the crowd, were looking forward to a future reunion. Cameron responded, âI wouldnât rule that out, but Arnold loves a press conference as much as anyone else, so Iâm going to leave it to Arnold to announce anything.â
And on the topic of former collaborators, another fan wanted to know if actor Michael Biehn would appear in âAvatar.â Cameron explained that he considered Biehn for Langâs role, but decided to ultimately go with Lang. Interestingly, it was then pointed out that Lang was originally up for Biehnâs role in âAliensâ before Biehn took it from him. Lang laughed and said he views âAvatarâ as âthe longest call-back Iâve ever had.â
The fan that followed this asked the simplest of questions â why? Or, more specifically, why make a movie like âAvatar?â What made Cameron want to make this movie?
âThe super-honest answer, which sounds a little mercenary, is that I was the CEO of Digital Domain at the time and we were lagging behind in 3D character development,â the director responded. âSo in the same way I wrote âTerminatorâ to get a directing gig, I decided to write a story that was full of interesting characters that would push the art of CG for that company. But when we broke down the script, they looked at it and said, âWe canât do this! Are you out of your mind?â So I literally stuck the treatment in a drawer. When I got it out four years ago, I thought it was more timely than ever â with us being at war, with us being in more of an environmental crisis than at any point in our history.
âPeter Jackson had made âLord of the Ringsâ by then, and Gollum was looking pretty damn good. It looked like some soul and some real personality could be captured by CG. To me, that was like the door opening to the possibility of making this movie.â
The panel then concluded with some notes on the toys and video games that would be released in conjunction with the film in December, as well as a special announcement: Avatar Day is coming! Lest those who canât make it to Comic-Con feel left out, Cameron, Fox Studios, and Lightstorm (Cameronâs production company) are going to show fifteen minutes of âAvatarâ free on August 21. They are currently attempting to get the film into every IMAX 3D, IMAX, and digital theater they can. Details will be forthcoming, so for now, eager cinephiles will just have to take the word of the privileged Comic-Con fans in attendance â Avatar Day is worth marking on your calendars!

Just a few quick notes at the end of a road trip:
The Twins regret handing the Red Sox extra outs in the fifth inning, when they scored five runs and held on to win. But they still finished the road trip with a 4-3 record. ``You'd like to get greedy when you have a chance,'' Twins manager Paul Molitor said. ``We weren't able to do it.''
Max Kepler and Eddie Rosario had their moments in the series. Kepler tripled in back-to-back games here and hit .357 against Boston in the season series. Rosario was 4-for-4 on Saturday and reached base a fifth time when he was hit by a pitch.
With Trevor Plouffe not expect anytime soon because of a broken rib, Miguel Sano will continue to play at third. He spent the weekend talking about how bad he feels about making errors, but his actions need to back that up.
Rob Antony was on a plane to Detroit right after learning that Terry Ryan was fired and he was the interim GM. The official announcement was made to employees on Monday while he was out of town. So, on Monday, Antony is going to speak to the baseball department for the first time since stepping in for Ryan.
Since starting the season 11-34, the Twins have gone 26-27.

Spotlight: Shakespeare by the Book: Four Centuries of Printing, Editing, and PublishingMore
This exhibition marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death by celebrating how his works have come to life through innovations in print technology, editorial practice, and graphic design. Books and printing artifacts drawn from Special Collections' eclectic holdings will explain the technology of printed books in the 17th century, narrate the complex editorial history of the plays, and survey the myriad forms Shakespeare's works have taken in print over the last two centuries. Visitors will see both our oldest and most radically modern Shakespeare volumes, learn about U.Va.'s special role in the history of Shakespeare scholarship, and encounter more than 100 miniature volumes dedicated to the playwright and his works.
The exhibition will open in the Harrison North Gallery on February 22, 2016. From October 1-26, 2016, it will become the backdrop for the visiting Folger Shakespeare Library single-item exhibition "First Folio!: The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare."
