Lock Poker launching Revolution Gaming Network
On June 1st Lock Poker will be undergoing some big changes as the site is in the process of acquiring assets from the Cake Poker Network, which will be re-branded with Lock Poker at the helm of the new poker network according to a press release issued by Lock Poker CEO Jennifer Larson on Monday morning.
According to the press release (which seems to have been leaked on Sunday) the new network will be dubbed Revolution Gaming, "driving technology, marketing, player rewards and implementing a richer tournament schedule. The LockPRO team will be at the foundation of these changes. They will come together and offer their recommendations on all levels, truly bringing the player into the boardroom."
"We are very excited at the prospect of driving the product, marketing and overall vision of the network. It is a dream come true," says Jennifer Larson, CEO of Lock. "Merge was a great stepping stone for us but we have outgrown them. We really need to forge our own path to continued success. The only way to do this is to stay true to our of core philosophy: partnering with our players."
Lock Poker addressed their current player base in the press release assuring them that the transition from the site's current home on the Merge Gaming Network to the newly-minted poker network would be seamless, requiring only the installation of a software update on May 31, 2012.
The press release states: "You will login to find your real money balance as well as everything else you know and love about Lock." The statement continued with, "Lock will also continue to manage their own stand-alone cashier so withdrawals will be as fast and easy as they are now. All players' current player VIP rewards will only increase and all rakeback players will be moved over to the increased percentage on Revolution. More details coming soon."
The purchase of the Cake Poker Network by Lock Poker will see the largest online poker room (Lock Poker) on the largest US-friendly poker network (Merge Gaming Network) moving to a new network, which will likely tip the scales of power for the current US online poker industry. Stay tuned as more details emerge on Lock Poker buying the Cake Poker Network.

One Response to "Lock Poker launching Revolution Gaming Network"
I don't like the look of cake poker they need to seriously have a sit down and discuss a redesign of the whole software.
Lock Poker seems like a promising poker room, so I do hope they offer a good range of bonuses and promotions.

Tano Bonnin didn't last a quarter-hour in Saturday's La Liga fixture between CA Osasuna and Real Madrid at El Sadar.
In the 13th minute, Tano suffered a ghastly injury upon colliding with Isco and exited the pitch on a stretcher while biting his right forearm in pain. The look on Marcelo's face reflected the severity of the ailment, and Osasuna confirmed the Dominican centre-back suffered a fracture of the tibia and fibula in his right leg.
Below is a screenshot of the moment Tano suffered the fracture. Be warned, the image is not for the faint-hearted.

OK i have not done alot of sheet cakes, so i find myself dumb with the pans..Can someone please tell me what size pan is for a full sheet cake? Is it 12x18??? I was just asked to do one and for the life of me cannot thinking of what pan size it is....
thanks so much for any help you can give me....
follow this thread! Great info!!
A full sheet serves A LOT. And, you need to make sure your oven would fit the pan! Also, a full sheet cake might be open to interpretation. I suggest that you find out how many people they need to feed and go from there.
Here is a link to Wilton's serving guide; it might help you a lot.
Full Sheet: 18x24 (will not fit into standard oven) feeds appx 100
Half sheet: 12x18 feeds appx 50
Quarter Sheet: 9x12 feeds appx 25
Serving size assumes 2x2x2" high.
Find out what they customer needs as far as servings and goo from there.
Thanks for the help, she has to feed 165 people a company function, so she wants two full sheet cakes.....
You might try 2 half sheets w/2 layers each.
That way you could add a nice filling.
I second the last suggestion of 2 12 x 18's that are double layered with a filling betweent the layers.
I never offered full sheets because #1, I didn't have boxes and boards that big, #2, didn't have an oven that big, and #3, just didn't want to deal with the cumbersome job of icing a full sheet.
2 12 x 18 double layers will give you the servings you need and look better too, imo.

GMI 20 Marine Instrument Display
- Details
- Reviews
Garmin GMI 20 Marine Instrument Display - The GMI 20 digital marine instrument display is perfectly designed for both power and sail vessels. Designed to clearly show depth, speed, wind and 100 marine and vessel parameters, its large, bright 4" colour display with extra large digits is easy to read at a distance and has a 170 degree viewing angle.
A glass-bonded lens prevents fogging and increases contrast. Daylight readability is enhanced with a high contrast colour scheme. For enhanced night visibility, you have a choice of red/black, green/black or the normal night mode colour scheme along with a dimmer control.
Screens can be set to auto-scroll, cycling between pages automatically without your having to do a thing. This is especially advantageous to sailors as it allows you to install the unit(s) in a greater variety of locations on the vessel.
Default profiles can be customised for powerboat, sailboat, fishing, engine/fuel, plus several other user-specified profiles.
Power is supplied by the NMEA 2000® network.
In addition, the GMI 20 also features a dedicated race timer that counts down and counts up, with an internal beeper. Included are 2 trim snap piece cover options which allow you to match the GMI 20 with the new GPSMAP® 500/700 series, GPSMAP 8000 Glass Helm series or legacy Garmin chartplotters.

Role in the episode
After Miss Simian warns her students about the butterfly effect, Gumball and Darwin ignored her warning and watched the Butterfly hatch from his chrysalis. Then Gumball released him from the jar containing him and flew off.
The Butterfly first landed on one of the Construction Men's head, making him scream in panic, the other Construction Men tried to shoo it off but the Butterfly flew away, and the head of the Construction Man's head flew into the sky.
Then the butterfly effect started to take effect, knocking down the citizens of Elmore, knocking Hector down, causing the giant to sneeze, blowing Charlie away and landed into the television, creating a tornado.
After Miss Simian returned from her break, she was frightened that the Butterfly was released and took cover. The Butterfly returned, landing on Gumball's hand, wearing a smug grin on his face, and flew off, showing a cyclone heading towards them, ending the episode.
It is unknown what happened to him afterwards, although he was presumely sucked into the cyclone presumely killing him.

I have an idea for silent hill. The next game should have a character who is suffering from amnesia who wakes up on the road heading towards silent hill, they are then chased by a shadow which then leads him to silent hill where they start seeking information from a shady looking character and the main character would keep following this character for information. The shady character would have associations with the order.
The main character would have their own version of the pyramid head which represented their anxiety or fear of something and the nurses and doctors in the game should also represent their fear of hospitals and why he fears them. After a few encounters with the pyramid head they will then remember everything and they will find out that they are strongly associated with the order and will then remember their purpose in silent hill and how they got there.
Tell me what you think of it.

Description Edit
There are 100 games in 10 minutes videos for several platforms in YT. However, I haven't seen such a video for DOS games so it felt like an interesting project to fiddle with. Games are presented in a random order. Just to be clear, this is not my top 100 DOS games list. There are several reasons why these game were chosen to be in the video:
1: The list is mainly based on my personal history, what games I have played on PC and not other computers such as C64 or Amiga.
2: Many of these games reside permanently on my HD and I also have recordings of some games so I didn't have to install every game to capture 6 seconds of video.
3: I didn't want to spam only one genre or games with sequels that are similar with the original version. There are tons of great adventure, RPG and strategy games for DOS and I could at least do a 50 games list for each of those genres alone. There are not as many good puzzle, platform or shoot 'em up games when compared to aforementioned genres.
4: Many games were released for both Amiga and DOS. I preferred to demo DOS exclusive / original games, instead of games with an almost identical Amiga version.
5: There was an attempt to include many of the most important titles, but also less famous games worth trying.
Music was recorded with SGM-V2.01 soundfont from the following MIDI files: UFO: Enemy Unknown - Geoscape alternative (trimmed the beginning and the end), Magic Carpet - Intro (part 1), Mission Critical - End Credits (trimmed the end).

A cheaper alternative to buildings insurance - SA's leading originator launches own product
MortgageSA, South Africa's pioneering bond originator and former winner of the non-listed company of the year, has launched its own building insurance product aimed at providing homeowners choice, and an alternative to the bank products that have traditionally been forced upon consumers.
Rhys Dyer, Executive Director at MortgageSA, says the move was facilitated by recent FAIS Ombudsman rulings and the new National Credit Act that was tabled into law in June 2006, which now allows the consumer the freedom of choice when it comes to house structure insurance.
"Buildings insurance is a compulsory condition of the granting of the home loan and homebuyers have historically been forced to swallow the bank's prices if they wanted finance".
"But homebuyers are now no longer obliged to make use of the product prescribed to them by the bank and can therefore choose where they want to purchase buildings insurance and be free to shop around for the best value.
"This freedom of choice will give homeowners great savings, with premiums available in the open market often significantly cheaper than the rates offered by bank insurers and in many cases with more comprehensive risks covered."
Dyer also points out that being able to offer buildings insurance makes for a sound strategic fit for MortgageSA because their business model is based on removing the hassle and paperwork for consumers and streamlining all aspects of the home financing and insuring process.
"It dovetails with our home loan, mortgage protection and household insurance offerings and takes us closer to a one stop, personal finance product and advice platform.
"We hope that like the advent of bond originators, which have to date saved homeowners billions through increased competition, the introduction of free choice around buildings insurance will also result in massive savings for consumers. We estimate that the increased competition in the market will save homeowners R650 million annually in premiums.
"The cost of bricks and mortar insurance is going to be cheaper as the days of the building insurance pricing monopoly historically enjoyed by the banks are over."
Dyer says that while buildings insurance typically covers risks to the immovable structures of a residence and its domestic outbuildings, including all the fixtures, fittings and the improvements thereon, consumers should be aware that there is a lot of variability in what risks are covered.
"For example, subsidence and landslip cover is specifically covered by some insurers but often excluded on other policies. The same can be said for geyser wear and tear cover."
The implementation of the National Credit Act in June this year caused a slowdown in mortgage approvals as banks and applicants adjusted to the new regulations - but now SA's leading originator reports that approvals are returning to pre-NCA levels.
South Africa's largest property listings website has reported a surge in viewings of traditional holiday hot spots as more buyers shortlist homes through online searches ahead of arriving on vacation to see them.
The property market's rapid price escalation has cooled in the last year on the back of higher interest rates and the short term effects of the National Credit Act (NCA), but these factors are conspiring to provide a 'sweet spot' for buyers says SA's leading bond originator.
Property is a worthwhile investment but for younger people hoping to buy it is difficult to take the first step, but not impossible says Rhys Dyer, Chief Executive of ooba, South Africa's leading bond originator that places one in five South Africans in their homes.
"Rather invest in simple, streamlined furniture," she says. "Try to have pieces that have legs and are not boxy. Not only will you have created space but also the functionality of the room improves as well."

This is our dream home and this is really a dream come true for us!! Thanks a lot for your help and quick responses. It has really been a great experience working with ooba.
I am thankful for the wonderful manner in which you assisted me with my insurance. You are an amazing asset to ooba.
I was told by 5 people that I should go through Yvonne Viljoen. She managed to get me what I wanted from the bank. She was thorough, fast, efficient and ahead of the schedule. Because of this experience I will recommend ooba and Yvonne and I can say that I cannot relate to other people's disappointment when buying a home.
I tried ooba despite not knowing anybody that has gone through a bond originator. The process isn't over yet, but so far it is the best decision I've made. Efficient, amazing service. You always know what is going on and guided me through the entire process.
"Thank you ever so much for this. You are totally on the ball and your service is appreciated - it's rare nowadays."
"Thanks to ooba for their great service, I will definitely recommend you."
"Thank you for promptly sorting out the issues we have been having."
"You are a very professional person to deal with. Thank you for your efficient and excellent service."
"Baie dankie vir jou vriendelikheid."
"ooba is really going out of their way to assist us here."

Excellent Movie
This is an excellent movie. Usually remakes are not as good as the original but this movie is great. It is well written and does not insult your intelligence. All of the scenes are believable. All of the actors made the characters real.

Vital Stats
Name: Dr. Stacy M. Peterson
Email: email@example.com
BodySpace: doctorstacy
Why I Got Started
I have always had battles with my weight. I was up one year and down the next. The last pregnancy was a bit harder and the weight didn't come off as easily as the two previous. By the time my son was 2, I was down to my pre pregnancy weight, but I was a totally different shape. This is shown in the before pictures. Over the next 6 months I tried some cardio and may have lost a few more pounds, but still had the big thighs and butt and no definition.
How I Did It
In Jan 2009 my husband got initial orders to Afghanistan to leave in April 2009. I started running. I had always hated it my whole life but the stress got me out on the road. I could hardly make it half a mile without stopping. Hubby's orders where changed many times over the next few months and he finally left in June 2009. I had added weight lifting and was running 3-5 miles 4-5 days per week. The fat was coming off but I seemed to be losing muscle at the same time. I started adding loads of protein to my diet and was able to keep and even put on a few pounds of muscle over the fall. I decided when my husband left, as I was turning 40, I wanted to run in a few races. I started with 5 and 10K's then moved onto the half marathon. I wanted my husband to see a different woman when he returned home. The running got me away from the kids and was my only alone time over those 6 months my husband was deployed. I worked on a diet with higher protein and lower carbs to help lose the fat. It seems that only in the last 3 months have I finally started seeing the results I've wanted.
Meal 1:
- 3 Egg Whites, 1 Whole Egg
- 2 pieces of Cinnamon Raisin Ezekiel Bread Toast
- 1 tsp Smart Balance spread
- 2-4 cups of Coffee
- 1 tsp Creamer
Meal 2:
- 1 packet Myoplex Lite
- 1 scoop ON 100% Whey Protein
- ½ Banana
- ½ cup Strawberries
- 4 oz Water
- 4-6 oz Skim Milk
Meal 3:
Meal 4:
- 1 cup 2% Fat Cottage Cheese
- ½ -¾ cup Blueberries or 1 serving Greek Yogurt (6 oz)
Meal 5:
Meal 6:
- 4 oz Meat or Fish
- ½ cup Broccoli
- ½ Sweet Potato
- ½ cup slow churned Ice Cream or 1 serving Greek Yogurt (6 oz)
- 1 scoop Casein Protein
My diet does vary from day to day depending on my running schedule. If I do not run, I may not go for the ice cream at night. I do allow myself to cheat...my coffee creamer is a must everyday. I do eat pizza and Thai food ... and I do allow myself to have chocolate a few times a week. I do this on my long run days or the day before.
My schedule does vary every week. For me the running is more important than the weights ... so if time is limited I do not lift ... or I try and do things in between errands.
I do most of my running at home and I have free weights and a bench and a bar at home. Most of my lifting is alone ... so that is why I use dumbbells. During the marathon training ... I use lighter weights and higher reps. Winter time I will go for heavier weights and lower reps.

I Do Most Of My Running At Home And I Have Free Weights
And A Bench And A Bar At Home.
Suggestions For Others
It has taken me over a year to figure out what works for me. There have been many plateaus and setbacks but I just kept pushing through. Sometimes just changing the type of cardio or exercise will help. Diet is key. I do not follow a totally clean high protein, low carb diet, but I do that because of the running I do. When the amount of running becomes less after the marathon I will be back on a cleaner diet. For those who think they don't have time, you have to make time and put it in your normal schedule. It will become the norm. I do a lot basic things (abs, pushups & pullups) while watching TV and taking care of the kids.

It will be Ramadhan soon inshaa Allah. This blessed month means a great deal to me and to every other Muslim – it is a month unlike any other. It is a time that is solely for `ibadah and for good deeds.
Ramadhan is also the month in which my father passed away. I still remember every detail of his final days and I remember spending my first `Eid without him.
You never forget the important people in your life… and you never stop loving them. My father was a devoted father and husband, always putting the family first. I used to tell him that he fussed too much… worried too much about us. I felt he needed to let go and not fret because we could take care of ourselves but I suppose he was just that kind of man.
When I was growing up, he pushed my siblings and I to work hard at school, sparing no expense and effort. He would buy us any study materials we needed and ferry us to and from tuition, twice a week no matter how busy or tired he was. When I started working, he would always drive me to the office. I often felt bad about this but my father would not have it any other way.
I gave birth to my daughter in September 2001 in the USA. It took three months before my husband was able to get a job transfer and we were able to return to Singapore for good. It was about 1 a.m. that January day when we reached my parents' house. I saw as we pulled up the drive way that the porch and living room lights were on. The front door was open and my father was standing there, leaning on his cane. I rushed out of the car and took baby Maryam to him.
He smiled – I had never seen my father so happy. He just stared at his first and only grand-daughter and positively beamed. He could hardly speak… he later told me that he was so grateful that Allah had answered his prayers, for he had beseeched Him countless times to bring us back home. It was not easy returning to Singapore but seeing my father's boundless joy, I knew it was worth it.
My father died less than a year later… to this day I thank Allah for giving us the means to return before it was too late. To this day, I thank Allah for giving me Maryam because I think she was my one and only real gift to my father.
Whenever my daughter and I visited him – which was often for I knew he loved her company – he would insist on driving us home. He would do this even when his body ached from the effects of the chemotherapy. He would drop us off at our block and we would wave at him as he pulled out of the parking lot before we made our way to our apartment.
This went on for several months until my father took a turn for the worse in October 2002. My father had gone back and forth to the hospital over the year and always returned home looking well on the road to recovery. Some of his friends used to jokingly remark, "Are you really sick? This is not the face of a sick man!" Mashaa Allah he always managed to look well… I guess he hid his pain well.
This time, Allah decreed that his admission to the hospital would be his last. He had had a third cycle of chemotherapy and a second bone marrow transplant but every effort the doctors made led to more complications. His kidneys began to fail and then his heart weakened so badly that he could hardly breathe without his body heaving painfully. His body could no longer take the beating of the illness and the drugs.
Word got round and friends and relatives rushed to see him. They had all just seen him a month earlier and were shocked and shaken to see how his condition had deteriorated. Many – grown men even – burst into tears upon seeing him. One said, "He was FINE last month… what have they done to him?"
One Friday in Ramadhan, the doctors told us that my father's heart was just not doing its job. He was not getting enough oxygen and he needed to be put on a life support machine. They tried to be as kind as they could but we were really grasping at straws. Without the machine, he would surely die and with it, he had but a five percent chance of survival. We did what we thought he would have wanted – we went with the machine. Five percent was better than nothing.
We were all given a few minutes with him before they sedated him. Deep down inside, we must all have known that this was going to be the last time we would see him conscious. We asked the doctors to allow us to bring Maryam in to see him – children below 10 are not allowed into the Intensive Care Unit and she was barely over a year old.
We all stood around my father giving him words of comfort and encouragement, telling him not to be afraid… telling him all would be well. We brought Maryam in to see him and they held hands for the last time.
Then we had to go.
Saturday came and he showed no signs of improvement. After iftar at my mother's house, my husband, brother and sister went back to the hospital. I had to go home to the flat to put Maryam to bed.
I had just finished giving her her bath when I received a call. My cousin told me that I had to be by my father… he was slipping. I dropped my daughter off at my mother's house where the maid would watch her and, dry-eyed, made my way to the ICU.
I entered and saw a crowd of family and friends. When I went into my father's room, I saw my sister, eyes red, sobbing uncontrollably as she tried to read from the Qur`an. My mother, calm and composed told me to read and to say shahadah in my father's ear.
The minutes passed and I saw from the machine that my father's heartbeat was decreasing, slowly but surely. I stepped back and looked at the people in the room – aunts, uncles, cousins and a few close friends… faces taut with grief.
Then I caught sight of a brother, Muhammad, whom my father cared about a great deal. It seemed as though he wanted to go to my father but could not as my aunts were close by. I gestured briefly at him and he nodded. I told my aunts to make way and then he took his place by my father.
He bent down and said the shahadah several times and then raised his voice, reciting Ayat ul Kursi. I remember thinking at that moment, "It is as if Abah will be going to sleep…" Brother Muhammad repeated the shahadah and then stepped back. It felt strangely calm.
I looked at the machine and I saw my father's heartbeat falling… this time drastically… 48, 34, 28, 20…
I felt everyone stiffening. The air was thick with tension. I heard my sister catching her breath.
Then the line went flat. My father had passed away.
It took a while for it to sink in. It didn't feel final, perhaps because we had matters to attend to. The men had to deal with the hospital and other arrangements and the women had to return home to prepare for the funeral the next morning.
Later that night, I had to go back to the flat as my daughter would only sleep in her crib. My uncle took the car and sent us home. Still dry-eyed, I took my seat. It was a quiet journey… what was there to say at a time like this?
Then we arrived at my block and said salaam. I got out of the car and stood by the car park, just as I used to when my father drove us home. As my uncle pulled away, he turned to us.
I waved at him and he waved back.
My heart went cold as the hurt came rushing in. It was then that it really hit me.
My father was never coming back.

Before we get to Terminator Salvation, first we'll have a recap of the first 3 films.
The Terminator
The Terminator is the original masterpiece that started the whole franchise back in 1984. In a post apocalyptic 2029, years after launching the nuclear holocaust known as Judgment Day against human kind, the artificial intelligence known as Skynet is on the verge of losing it's long lasting war against the small army of human survivors known as the Resistance, led by John Connor. To ensure its survival and victory, Skynet sends back through time a cyborg assassin known as the Terminator ( T-800 series model 101) to kill the mother of John Connor, Sarah Connor, before John is even born. The Resistance in turn sends back a lone resistance fighter, Kyle Reese, to protect Sarah from the Terminator. In the end, Kyle ends up becoming the father of John Connor before sacrificing himself to protect her. Sarah manages to destroy the Terminator and prepares for the coming war.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
In 1991, Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released. It continues the story of Sarah Connor and her struggle to protect John. It is set 11 years after The Terminator. Skynet, having failed to kill Sarah, sends another, deadlier Terminator known as the T-1000, back through time, with a mission to kill the now 10 year old John Connor himself. Sarah has been locked up in a mental institution and John is in the care of a foster mother and father. The Resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-800 to protect John from the T-1000. After breaking Sarah out of the mental institution and arming themselves with weapons, Sarah tries to prevent the creation of Skynet by killing Miles Dyson, the scientist responsible for creating the super computer that would evolve into Skynet( by reverse engineering the remains of the first Terminator from the first film), thus preventing the nuclear holocaust and war. In the end, the super computer is destroyed, along with the T-1000 and the first terminator remains. The Terminator sacrifices itself to ensure the creation of Skynet never happens, leaving Sarah and John with a unknown, but hopeful future.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
In 2003, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines added another chapter to the Terminator story. Sarah has long since died of lukemia and John is living as a drifter. It is revealed that Skynet continued to grow under the United States Air Force and that Judgment Day was not prevented, just postponed. Skynet sends it' newest and deadliest creation, The T-X ( A.K.A The Terminatrix) , back in time to Judgment Day itself to eliminate John's future lieutenants. The Resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-850 ( a slightly more advanced version of the T-800) to protect John and his future wife, Kate Brewster. In a last ditch effort to prevent Judgment Day, John and Kate try to destroy Skynet's system core before it launches it's attack on human kind while avoiding the T-X. Despite the efforts by John, Skynet goes online as a computer software, not a computer, thus making it unstoppable as it spread like a virus to computers all over the globe. The Terminator sacrifices itself to destroy the T-X just as Skynet launches it's foretold nuclear attack on human kind. John faces his destiny and rises to lead what is left of humanity against Skynet, thus ending the story of the man destined to lead humanity to victory against the machines.
Then, in 2009, a jerk by the name of McG came along and messed everything up. Terminator Salvation takes place in the middle of the war in 2018. Let the plot holes and bad writing begin. John, for some reason, is not the leader of human resistance. I can understand that he might have had to fight for the position, but in the end of T3, he clearly takes control. On an interesting side story, Marcus Wright, an inmate put to death in 2003 after donating his body to United States Air Force's Project Angel, awakens in 2018 at a destroyed Skynet base. He has no idea what has happened since he died. He later meets up with none other than a teenage Kyle Reese, the future father of John Connor. Kyle is Skynet's number 1 target, followed by John Connor. Some how, Skynet knows that John will lead the humans to victory and that Kyle is his father. Skynet believes that killing Kyle Reese will also kill John Connor. But instead of killing Kyle, they take him prisoner to use as bait for John, instead of killing him right there on the spot. At this point it is revealed that Marcus is a Terminator/ Human hybrid infiltrator. He is being held captive at John's base, but escapes with the help of one of John's soldiers, Blair Williams. After saving John, Marcus and him make a plan to save Kyle. Marcus travels to the Skynet base set in San Fransisco where Kyle is being held and sends John the coordinates to Kyles location. Why Skynet just doesn't kill Kyle now i don't understand. Marcus finds out that he was designed as an infiltrator, programed to lead John to Skynet. Apparently Skynet planned for Marcus to coincidencetly bump into John and Kyle at some point and in the right order. I guess Skynet was just lucky. John at this point is fighting a T-800 prototype while protecting Kyle. John sends Kyle to safety, while John stays behind. How dramatic. Just when things look bad for John, Marcus arrives and fights the T-800 while John plants a bomb made of T-800 fuel cells,even though T-850's ( which haven't been created yet) run on fuel cells, not T-800's. The T-800 hits Marcus in the chest, right over his heart, and kills Marcus. John super heats and then super cools the T-800. This freezes the terminator in place. Instead of destroying the Terminator while it's frozen, John goes and manages to revive Marcus by shocking him with loose wires. Just as John brings him back, the now unfrozen T-800 impales John through the back a long piece of metal. Marcus quickly defeats the terminator and takes John back to safety. John is still somehow alive at this point and is saved by Marcus, who donates his heart to John. Lucky for John, he and Marcus happen to have the same blood type, compatible organs, and still alive a few hours, even with a hole through his heart. Also lucky for John, his wife can conduct a heart transplant in the middle of a desert in a tent in a post apocalyptic, war torn world, even though she was just a vet in T3. She must have read a lot of medical books. The End. And thats just the story part of it. Why would Skynet Central in San Fransisco be so clean and white. The whole third act of the film with John sneaking around the base to find Kyle threw me off. The place seemed like a nice outlet mall. I half expected to see a food court and Star Bucks. Why would the facility like that? It doesn't make sense. The whole central should have looked like the huge terminator factory underneath the base if you ask me. There are so many things wrong with this movie. Killing Kyle doesn't matter. If he dies before he is sent back through time, the time line would either reset itself to the original, before time travel screwed everything up and where John had a different father not from the future, or John would just send back some one else from and have a different dad. So much is wrong with this movie. Feel free to add a point or argue a point.Aemeza 21:38, August 9, 2010 (UTC) Aemeza

Thom Harrow, former president of Volo Aviation, last year formed a new company called Airport Property Partners (APP) and in December purchased four Volo FBOs from Merrill Lynch. The four FBOs–in Fort Pierce and Sarasota, Fla.; Manassas, Va.; and Hayward, Calif.–will be rebranded as APP Jet Centers. Harrow expects new signage for the facilities to be in place by the end of this month. "We have not made significant changes in personnel or the approach or anything," he said. "We liked the way they were operated before. I think they're great businesses and have great personnel, but they're benefiting more from an owner-operator focus than previously when they were owned by Merrill Lynch." APP is planning capital improvements at the FBOs.

I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!

Hummingbird meets knowledge Graph: A Conversation with Google
Take a look at this 'conversation' I had with Google about the Eiffel Tower. First of all, it's a conversation; they are not search queries on its own. When I search for Eiffel Tower related elements it gives me that information as expected. As soon as I start leaving out the actual name 'Eiffel Tower' Google however still understands that my questions are related. This is Hummingbird at it's best: it has a better understanding of who Google is 'talking to'. Semantics are key here. It is based on the search behavior of course, but Google is also taking a lot of other things into account, like your social profile and data from the people around you. See the third video below for an example on how 'personalized' this can get. The answers come from the Knowledge Graph.
Hummingbird and Knowledge Graph work together: research Obama
Google combines the Hummingbird Update and the Knowledge Graph into a way of working as they said they would: a conversation with an answering machine. Take a look at this video for example which shows how Hummingbird and Knowledge Graph work together very nicely

Disk Wiping / A Story with a Cast of Thousands. Presented By Gary Smith. Supercomputers are like cars. Everybody talks about how great the new one but you've still got to cleanup the old and get rid of it. One of the items in getting rid of a supercomputer is wiping the disk drives.

Gary Smith
Everybody talks about how great the new one but you've still got to cleanup the old and get rid of it.
One of the items in getting rid of a supercomputer is wiping the disk drives.
What is wiping a disk drive?
Wiping a disk is the non-destructive process of rendering the data on the disk drive irretrievable.
What this amounts to is writing some pattern on every track and sector of the disk drive some number of times until your comfort level with the irretrievability is reached.Disk Wiping / A Story with a Cast of Thousands
There are destructive processes for rendering the data on a disk drive irretrievable: degaussing and crushing, for instance.
Degaussing is the process of subjecting magnetic media to an intense magnetic field.
This turns a disk drive onto a paperweight.
Crushing also turns a disk drive into a paperweight; it won't be recognizable as having once been a disk drive.
MPP2, the old super computer had a lot of disk drives in it.
There were 980 total nodes in MPP2
Some nodes were fat nodes and some nodes were thin nodes.
Fat nodes had more memory and disks than thin nodes.
Thin nodes had two 37 GB drives in them; fat nodes had 2 37 GB and 7 73 GB disk drives.
There were a total of 5,898 local disks drives in MPP2 for a total of 423,216 GB of disk space
And then there was dtemp. dtemp was the large scratch space shared among all the nodes in MPP2. There were 1280 disk drives in dtemp for a total of 53 TB of disk space.
And then there was the /home file system.
And then there was the test cluster.
The CPUs in MPP2 were Intel Itaniums.
Itanium is the brand name for 64-bit Intel microprocessors that implement the Intel Itanium architecture (formerly called IA-64).
The processors are marketed for use in enterprise servers and high-performance computing systems.
The architecture originated at Hewlett-Packard (HP) and was later developed by HP and Intel together. Itanium's architecture differs dramatically from the x86 architectures (and the x86-64 extensions) used in other Intel processors and is incompatible with both of these architectures.
Itanium is the fourth-most deployed microprocessor architecture for enterprise-class systems.What Makes MPP2 Unique
Almost all disk wiping programs assume:
The target machine runs a Microsoft operating system.
The target machine has a CDROM drive.
The target machine has a keyboard/monitor/mouse attached to it.
A human is going to be watching the monitor to see the final results.
The target CPU is x86 architecture.
Run Linux.
Have no CDROM drive.
Have no keyboard/monitor/mouse attached to it.
Have no human watching the non-existent monitor that isn't attached to it.
Have that wonderful Itanium CPU in them.On The Other Hand…
One tool favored by IM Services is Wipe Disk Pro. It assumes the above points about the system it is going to run on.
Next, I checked with my colleagues in CaNS about their program of choice.
Their program of choice for disk wiping programs is called DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke).What's Locally Available
The wiping program: the above points about the system it is going to run on.
has to run on Itanium architecture.
does not rely on having a keyboard/monitor/mouse.
does not require having a CDROM or floppy.
has reasonable error recovery.
produces sufficient logging output along the way and at the end.
has to be capable of doing multiple passes over a disk.
A mechanism of capturing the progress and final results of each node's wiping operation.
A mechanism to test wiping programs.
A mechanism to test the overall wiping process.
Meet any DOE requirements on disk wiping.
Not be hideously expensive.My Criteria
Going to sourceforge.net and freshmeat.net searching for disk wiping programs, I got over 75 pages of hits.
There's wipe, wipe disk, disk wiper, quick wipe, quickwiper, wipersnapper, secure wipe, maxiwipe, shred, and on and on.
Some would build on the Itanium to a greater or lesser degree and some wouldn't.
After testing about 30 different wiping programs on a two disk Itanium system, I found two candidates for that were the most promising, wipe and shred.
Both are based on the work of secure data s destruction, Dr. Peter Gutmann. I finally decided on shred because I liked the way it logged progress better than wipe.Open Source Disk Wiping Programs
The next step is to figure out how to get shred to the systems in a suitable environment and capture the results.
MPP2 came from HP with a technique for installing a new operating system distribution over the network.
All the program files, libraries, etc. would come from the master server; all the logging information would be written back to the master server.
Once loaded, the kernel started up a minimal environment that downloaded the new operating system to a RAM disk and loaded and configured it to the local disks.
What I had to do was take that primitive environment and make its purpose wiping disks instead of installing stuff to them.
This is where the test cluster comes into play and proved invaluable for testing.
There is a special console port on the motherboards that connects to a series of terminal servers.
The server that acts as the installation host can connect to the console of any of the systems making up the test cluster or MPP2.Getting shred into an working environment
After the usual systems in a suitable environment and capture the results.amount of futzing around that goes with any hardware/software system, I get things to work.
My process for wiping the first disk worked (2 random passes followed by a pass of zeros).
I changed my process around to do both disks simultaneously, rebooted the system, and watched what happened.
The system rebooted, initialized, started the two disk wipes, and horror of horrors, froze solid. The system was going nowhere fast.
The problem was that the primitive kernel used to boot the system is really primitive.
My choices are
1) Redo the SCSI driver and potentially the kernel.
2) Wipe the drives in a serial rather than parallel manner.
3) Go to another environment.How Primitive Is Primitive?

I decided to test how long it would take to wipe a fat node by serially wiping the drives. This takes 2H 35m.How Primitive Is Primitive?
There are 8 nodes in the test cluster. While it's completely not representative of MPP2, it's a start.
I started the wipe of the test cluster and captured all the proceedings to a file as well as watching it in real time.
Messages are arriving from the 8 nodes funneled into one point in an asynchronous manner.
After it was all over with, I needed to make some sort of sense of what went on.
I reached for the Swiss Army Knife of computer programming, Perl.
Perl is you friend.
The test cluster took 2H 55m to wipe. Not bad.How Long Does It Take To Wipe The Test Cluster?
The next step was to try this on MPP2. completely not representative of MPP2, it's a start.
When the next monthly downtime came around for MPP2 in April, I put my dibs in for testing a disk wipe.
This time I was wiping 930 if the nodes in MPP2.
That's quite a scale-up from 8.
I started the wipe at 17:10 and it finished at 21:18.
Several nodes had to be booted by hand and that's another serial process.
So this is looking pretty good.Scaling UP To The Big Time!
Admiral Grace Hopper, the creator of COBOL, said that the wonderful thing about standards is there are so many to choose from.
This is particularly true of disk wiping.
The Department of Defense has very clear, definitive policy on wiping disks. They are famous for the "7 Pass Rule" of disk wiping.
The Department of Energy is no so clear-cut.
There used to be DOE M205.12, which said that for one pass of zeros was OK for unclassified data.
But M205.12 is out of date. It was superseded by TMR 10 which is obsolete.
So, how many passes do I need to run over these disks to be compliant with the proper directive(s) which ever they may be?And Now for A word About Standards…
At first The Powers That Be (TPTB) said "Uhh, well, why are you wiping them; they're going to be destroyed, anyway."
Some time passes and the TPTB say, "Uhh, well, just to be sure, you ought to wipe the drives before they're destroyed."
OK. How many passes should I do it?
TPTB say, "Uhh, well, one is enough."
Some time passes and TPTB say, "Uhh, well, maybe that's not enough; better make it 3 passes."
OK. Whatever you want.
Sometime passes and TPTB say, "Uhh, well, we changed our mind and since the drives are going to be crushed, never mind the wiping."
OK, glad you came to a definitive conclusion.
Some time passes and TPTB say, "Uhh, well, you know we thought about it again, and since the drives might end up eBay some how, you need to wipe the drives."
OK, how many times? "Uhh, well, We'll get back to you on that."
Finally, the powers that be decide that 2 passes, one random pass followed by one pass of zeros is sufficient for the disks.The Powers That Be
Dtemp is a parallel, high performance file system using a the Lustre file system technology.
Thirty four nodes in MPP2 serve up the 53 TB of disk space to the rest of MPP2.
It turns out that wiping all this space is going to be easier than wiping the individual nodes.
These nodes are not running a stripped down kernel; they're running a super computer version of Red Hat version 4 so they can wipe multiple disks at the same time without freezing up.
The home file system is served up by two HP Alpha systems running Tru64, not your average run of the mill system.
The game plan on this one is pretty much the same as wipe dtemp, only I don't have to wipe the system disks in this case.
The test cluster is 8 nodes and some mini-dtemp space: small potatoes in comparison.
As the time to do the disk wiping draws near, TPTB say, "Uhh, well, how do you REALLY know that the disks got zeroed out? Is there a way you can show that the disks got zeroed out?"
How about if I wipe one of disks and you analyze it for being zeroed out? "
"Uhh, well, can you do some kind of mathematical test on the disks that shows that it's just zeros," TPTB say.
How about if I checksum the disks and if the checksum comes out zero, it's good.
"Uhh, well, that sounds good. Oh and by the way, you need to get the serial number of all the disks that get wiped in case any of them end up on eBay and somebody claims there's super secret data on them."
Getting the disk serial numbers is no problem with a program called sginfo.
But the option that gets the serial number also returns lots of other information about the disk drive.
Perl is your friend.The Powers That Be, Part Two
The game plan for D Day (Disk-wiping Day) is this: "Uhh, well, how do you REALLY know that the disks got zeroed out? Is there a way you can show that the disks got zeroed out?"
Wipe the disks in the first 930 nodes, i.e.,those that don't play a part in the dtemp file system, the dtemp file system, the home file system, and the mini-dtemp on the test cluster.
Wipe the disks in the systems that serve up the dtemp file system, and the rest of the test cluster.
Take care of any loose ends in the wiping process.D Day, August 4th, 2008
Now the fun can really begin; the documentation of what happened. After all, this is DOE, remember?
It's at least as important to document what was done as what was done.
As I said before, Perl is your friend. I massaged the massage file from wiping the 930 nodes into individual files for each node including the check-summing operation and capturing the serial numbers.
The dtemp file system had two reports, a wipe of the dtemp disks and the individual disks. The same is true of the test cluster.
The home file system only required the disks making up the home file system. All this was packaged up into a CDROM and distributed to all the interested parties for easy reference.The Job Isn't Over Until The Paper Work is Done
In conclusion, you too can wipe over 7000 disk drives in less than 48 hours.
You just need lots of parallelism and a great deal of patience.
And by the way, Perl is your friend.In Conclusion
