Thousands Throughout United States Swarm To Theaters For New Harry Potter Film

Posted under Entertainment,Music by Alison Deloy on Friday 19 November 2010 at 5:19 pm

It was a scene that was all to popular, at more movie theaters than one can count. In places like Bibb County, Georgia over 2,000 fans stood in line for hours upon hours to get their chance to see the midnight screening of what expects to be one of the Holiday season’s biggest movie. The scene was the same in Annapolis, Maryland where over 1,100 did the exact same thing. The respective theaters were using every screen they had to show the film, anywhere from 10, to 16, to even 24 screen theaters all giving Hogwarts fans what they wanted to see.

Fans young and old, from the age of 13-73 were in line and waiting to experience a movie they said seemed to take ages to arrive. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows is also the seventh and final installment in the tremendously popular fiction series. “It was only July of last year that we saw The Half-Blood Prince but it seems like an entire lifetime has gone by waiting for this one to come out. I don’t know how I am going to manage for the 2nd part that comes out next year.” said Thomas Crownsworth, a 21 year old college student at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL.

The Deathly Hollows has been broken into 2 parts with the first being released November 19, 2010 and the second part, and final chapter of the film and the Harry Potter series itself hitting theaters over 6 months from the first portion, July 15, 2011.

Internet Giant Google Now Enters Fashion Market

Posted under Lifestyle,Technology by Ashley Genet on Thursday 18 November 2010 at 4:52 pm

As if Google didn’t already have enough to party about, their party continues. On Wednesday night technology giant Google.com celebrated their newest market entry, Boutiques.com. This site will establish their presence in the high fashion world online.

Munjal Shah of Google had the following to say about the entry and the site launch - “Fashion is overwhelming, and so what most people want when they shop is a curated experience, So we said, celebrities, designers and others, ‘come in.’ They actually curate items for you to come in and buy, so it’s a virtual boutique they set up. And in addition to that, they actually teach boutiques.com what their taste is like. We literally used some of the key strengths of Google – the ability to build artificial intelligent system that can understand and learn. One example is we built a system to automatically recommend things to complete a look.”

The technology is amazing, it allows for certain things like a simple pair of shoes to be entered into the search form. Based on your entry Boutiques.com will then provide you with not only the matching necklaces, bracelets, jewelry but even things like diaper bags and other accessories to match the style. It will also direct you to where you can purchase these items online.

A social media factor of the site also exists, which currently only has items for women, as it also allows you to follow people whose trend you admire to get updates on what they’re buying and looking at similar to following their updates on social networking sites like Twitter.

What some in the fashion industry said they like in particular about the site is that it’s a good starting off point for anyone – from women who think they’re ready to produce their own runway show to those who can’t even choose a t-shirt to go with a pair of jeans.

Google says Boutiques will eventually cater to men, as well.

For those who try it and like it enough to want the experience everywhere, there’s also a Boutiques iPad app.

Posted under Technology by Jason Genet on Wednesday 17 November 2010 at 4:13 pm

LSI Corporation announced that they have implemented the LSI™ Engenio® storage system technology into the world’s sixth fastest supercomputer which is possessed by the French Atomic Energy Commission in their Military Applications Division. The computer processes at an astonishing 1.25 petaflops, which to many normal, everyday PC users is something not even fathomable. The installation of this technology is a major monument for LSI Corporation and another building block in their partnership between the French Atomic Energy Commission and LSI/Bull (Bull is a leader in high-performance computing throughout the European Union.) The Atomic Energy Commission is a government-funded technology organization that has initiated colloborative programs with various technological industry leaders since 2008.

These relationships and the government funding they provide are extremely beneficial for companies like Bull and LSI. The partnership was established to help extend the capacity and capabilities of the Tera 100 Supercomputing Center, which as mentioned previously is the 6th largest supercomputer in the world.

“Supercomputing solutions are essential technology that help to accelerate scientific research by supporting the requirements of the world’s most demanding application environments,” said Jacques-Charles Lafoucriere, Chef de Service, CEA/DAM. “By offering a balance between processing power, data throughput and fault tolerance, the LSI storage system technology has enabled us to support the widest possible range of computer simulation applications running at the Tera 100 supercomputing center.”

The Tera 100 storage cluster combines bullx S Series servers and LSI Engenio storage technology to deliver 200GB/s bandwidth to the CEA IT center’s 15 petabyte clustered infrastructure running the Lustre™ file system.

“LSI is proud to be providing the data storage backbone of one of the world’s leading supercomputing centers,” said Steve Hochberg, senior director, HPC segment, LSI. “This is a testament to the exceptional performance and reliability of LSI storage system technology, and we’re honored to play an integral role in the critical scientific research conducted at this premier government facility.”

With over 200 petabytes deployed in HPC environments and more than 500,000 systems shipped across a wide range of workloads and market segments, LSI Engenio storage systems are helping to accelerate scientific research and innovation for many of the world’s largest government and university-based research centers.

New Book ‘Divine Despots’ by Brian Spencer Hits The Market

Posted under Books by Alison Deloy on Tuesday 16 November 2010 at 3:59 pm


– Despite their doctrinal differences, the overwhelming majority of the various Christian denominations - be they Catholic, Protestant or a variation on a theme - have a common form of government. They all have hierarchical structures atop of which is an “executive” consisting of a small group of senior (men only) clergy. It is this executive grouping which collectively possesses the authority and influence to determine the policy, direction and actions of the denomination which they happen to represent. Effective control is firmly entrenched in the hands of this elect group who form the subject matter of this writing. These are the ones who hold all power; the Spiritual Fathers, the Chosen Elite, the Guardians of the Faith - the Divine Despots. This is a look at their track record. Notwithstanding the machinations of the Divine Despots there are millions of “ordinary” people, Christians, Muslims, Jews and many others of goodwill, who go about their daily life in a god-fearing manner seeking to make this world turn around a little bit better today than it did yesterday. This book is not about them - but it is for them.

Ne-Yo who was un-expectant of the night’s events was at a charity event but quickly rushed to the hospital in time to witness the birth of his daughter and the moment in entailed. The couple had a baby shower planned but with the early delivery they decided to hold that same shower on the Saturday following her birth at the hospital to allow friends & family the opportunity to meet Madilyn Grace and celebrate in this moment with them.

Ne-Yo, who is an avid user of the social networking service Twitter had this to say - “As my life transforms due to the new life that sprung up on me last night, it’s good to know my folks support. Luv y’all,” He followed with this tweet ”Brand new baby, brand new album. Life is GOOD!!!! Nov. 22nd, around the corner!!!”

New L.L. Brunk Book Release - Legatum

Posted under Books by Alison Deloy on Friday 12 November 2010 at 5:25 am


– Excruciating pain is something Nicholas must daily endure while resisting his desires, through constant exercise of self control. The suffering he could cause others would be substantially worse if he were to ever lose his tenacity to resist. His temptations have grown significantly worse after an encounter with a starved and obsessed Succubus named Delilah. Nicholas has now become her most sought after conquest; and she will not cease her intent in capturing his heart and devotion. Nicholas embarks on a journey, ignited by what he feels is the necessity to flee from Delilah’s grasp, in his fear for the safety of others. He discovers an unusual world during his journey, far stranger than he could have ever imagined. A world where the unanswered questions he’s always longed for, start to unveil more than just who and what he really is. Nicholas is no longer a day dreaming child full of delusions, but he is a man embarking on his own Odyssey and ready to discover his purpose. He wasn’t just simply running away as far as he could from Delilah, the truth was far more complicated. He sees the opportunity to get to what he believed to be the source of all his suffering, the place where the story of what he was began; The Cradle of Life. You are invited to take a journey into this literary world that will steadily become clearer to you the deeper you dive, and if you pay attention you’ll discover answers to some of the philosophical questions we have in our own world today.
