IBM Launches Products, Program Around Linux Clusters
Cluster Centric
At a big press conference in Manhattan on Tuesday, IBM made a set of announcements--a new mainframe system, a development "community" for blades, and a new virtualization software platform--that looks likely to carry a range of future ramifications for Linux developers and administrators.
During a three-hour presentation, IBM executives told dozens of assembled editors and reporters that the new IBM System z9, Virtualization Engine (VE) 2.0, and Blade.org development program also represent a new IBM strategy.
Under the revamped strategy, IBM will focus on meeting users' needs for better security, easier administration, and more chances to save time through collaborative development, said Bill Zeitler, senior VP and group executive, IBM Systems and Technology Group.
Zeitler juxtaposed this approach against an earlier strategy, first articulated by IBM at the launch of the System z9's predecessor, T-Rex. Zeitler said that beginning a greater push toward Linux was a key pillar in the earlier strategy.
Reciting statistics about IBM's recent mainframe sales, IBM officials at the event on Tuesday credited the rise of Linux clusters on the ZoS operating system with breathing new life into the mainframe platform.
Erich Clementi, general manager for IBM Systems, said that IBM has sold more mainframe capacity over the past four years than over the previous forty.
For his part, Zeitler attributed 25 percent of recent sales in mainframe capacity to Linux clusters.
IBM's overall revenues, though, have slumped lately, pointed out Bob Djiurdjevic, an analyst at Annex Research, in an interview with LinuxPlanet later that day.
But, he predicted, this week's announcements will give mainframes another shot in the arm. "What's good for Linux is good for mainframes, because Linux generates demand for mainframes," according to the analyst.
The new VE unveiled on Tuesday will work across both ZoS and Linux clusters running on mainframes, noted Juhi Jotwani, IBM's director of BladeCenter Alliances, in a meeting with LinuxPlanet at the event.
Down the road, blade management software created by Blade.org will run as part of the VE environment, said Rob Redford, VP of products and technology at Cisco, one of several partners that's joining IBM as founding members of the development group.
During the main presentation at the press conference, Rod Adkins, IBM's VP for development, emphasized two new security features in the System z9: software-based encryption lf tapes and a facility for central management of encryption keys.
The enhancements will impact ZoS, but they won't deal directly with security issues around Linux clusters running on mainframes, Adkins added, in another meeting with LinuxPlanet at the event.
"We are looking at security improvements to Linux, but they won't be exactly the same kinds of improvements," he said.
IBM is also pondering the prospect of adding a hardware-based encryption accelerator to the ZoS platform in the future, according to Adkins.
The System z9 mainframe is being touted by IRM as capable of processing one billion transactions per day, for more than double the performance of the T-Rex, and up to 6,000 secure online handshakes per second, about three times as many as before.
The system will also let users create thousands of virtual servers on a single system with up to 60 logical hardware partitions, twice as many as the z990, officials said.
Users can run either Java or Linux-based apps on the same platform as legacy software through the use of two specialty engines: the System z9 Application Assist Processor and the Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL).
Customers at the launch voiced mixed reactions over whether IBM's announcements will impact their Linux expansion plans.
"This is a day of celebration!" said Nigel Fortlage, VP of Information Technology at GHY International, buttonholed by LinuxPlanet at the luncheon buffet table.
Fortlage has already installed 17 Linux applications on an IBM iServer. "The server practically manages itself, so I don't have to do much administration on it," according to Fortlage.
Anticipating that VE 2.0 will allow for similar self-management on zSeries, Fortlage is now eyeing the prospect of running Linux clusters on a ZoS machine. He also plans to add AIX apps to iSeries servers.
In another meeting, Mark L. Shearer, IBM's general manager for eSeries and iSeries, said that Fortlage and many SMBs like to run Linux apps on iSeries so they can get rapid access to data stored in IBM's DB2.
Jim Dillon, CIO of New York State, was also quite enthusiastic over this week's news. New York State already intended to do gradual trade-ups from its legacy mainframes to ZoS, anyway.
But IBM's rollouts have further whetted Dillon's appetite. The CIO told LinuxPlanet that he's particularly interested in the new encryption features, because of the emerging regulatory climate around information privacy, for instance.
On the other hand, Dr. Nina Schwenk, Mayo Foundation IT Committee Chair, Mayo Clinic, said the rollouts will have no effect on the Mayo Clinic one way or another.
The clinic's large heterogeneous network already has some Linux installations, according to Schwenk. "And there will be more," she told LinuxPlanet. But the clinic's roadmap for Linux was already set well before this week's announcements, she said.
The cornerstone of IBM's VE 2.0, IBM Director 5.1, is an integrated suite of software tools designed to provide a consistent, easy-to-use management point for all applications running on zSeries and pSeries, according to Cisco's Redford.
IBM Director includes an extension called Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) for monitoring and policy-based configuration management and provisioning of virtual/physical machines.
Redford told LinuxPlanet that--instead of playing sneakernet between various machines--administrators will now be able to monitor CPU utilization and to roll out failover policies, for instance, across environments and all from a central place.
VE 2.0 will also support IBM's recently unveiled Tivoli Change and Configuration Management databases, said IBM's Jotwani.
But the virtualization engine also includes APIs for integration with third-party management systems, according to Redford.
Other capabilities of VE 2.0 include automatic discovery of IP (Internet protocol) network resources, streamlined workload management, integrated storage administration, and the ability to map business processes to IT resources, for example.
The new Blade.org community will work collaboratively to produce tools and applications for blades, while also letting partners in BladeCenter--a platform co-designed by IBM and Intel--test and interoperate their products, Jotwani said.
Aside from IBM and Cisco, other vendors that have expressed interest in being founding members of Blade.org include Intel, Citrix Systems, VMware, Novell, Nortel, and Network Appliance.
Meanwhile, in an expo component of the launch, several third-party ISVs showed Linux implementations running on either ZoS or Intel platforms.
Computer Systems, Inc., for example, displayed Mercury, an Intel cluster-based medical imaging system that lets doctors perform the equivalents of virtual walk-throughs and fly-bys on CRT scans.
In the demo, Computer Systems used Microsoft Windows as the operating environment for the PC servers. But Joel Radford, VP of strategic marketing and alliances, attributed the application's fast rendering speeds to an underlying IBM Cell processor that works on Linux.
Elsewhere on the floor, Information Builders, an IBM partner for decades, showed its WebFocus business intelligence software running on mainframe-based Linux clusters.
WebFocus also supports all other IBM hardware platforms, including iSeries, xSeries, and pSeries, according to Adam E. Cohen, Information Builders' partner marketing manager.
Radford and Cohen both said they're happy about the emergence of Blade.org. "I think we'll be able to benefit from some of the software that's produced," Cohen maintained.
But Clay Ryder, an analyst at Sageza Group, suggested that developers shouldn't expect the Blades.org "community" to be exactly like the open source community.
"There are certain parallels between these two communities, because both are doing collaborative code development. But this doesn't mean that Blade.org will be producing open source software. Also, Blade.org centers around a specific vendor," Ryder told LinuxPlanet.
"Still, I see plenty of possibilities for Blade.org to create specialized blade (solutions): network blades, for instance, or blades for particular vertical markets."

When moving you should be prepared mentally for all this. There is no one in the world that is perfect and therefore mistakes are bound to happen unintentionally.

Not Feeling Good About the Ravens Game
The cards are stacked against the Cowboys. The Ravens haven't just been good at home. They have been great. The Ravens are known for having a tough defense. The Cowboys offense has been horrible since their week 1 win against the Giants. Like I said, it doesn't look good.
I do think the Cowboys will be better than they were against the Bears. I can't imagine a repeat performance by the offensive line, Dez Bryant, Kevin Ogletree and Tony Romo anything like the one we saw. I think they will all play better. Unfortunately, improvement on a terrible performance really isn't saying much at all.
The Cowboys don't need to play better to win this game. They need to play great. I can envision the defense putting up a great performance. I just don't see it with the offense. What the Cowboys really need is a boost from the return game and maybe a defensive score or two. Could that happen? Sure. Is there a good chance of it happening? Probably not.
I don't want to sound like I have turned on my team. I'll be a Cowboys fan until the day I die. But I have to look at this game realistically. The Ravens are simply a better team than the Cowboys right now. I really hope that the Cowboys prove me wrong.
I'm picking the Ravens to win the game 23-16. I think the x-factor for the Ravens will be Ray Rice. Not Ray Rice running the ball but Ray Rice catching dump off passes out of the back field. I think Romo will be better but I fear that he might play it a little safe after the disaster game against the Bears.

Sorry boss man. Thought you had gone off the deep end after the last loss. Kind of put a nail in the coffin for the season. At this point our best case scenario is Romo doesn't get hurt.ReplyDelete
However what odds do you realistically give a guy with no offensive line of not getting injured? How many games can he possibly take of the brutal beat down he is going to get.
I'm a fan as well. I just don't know what to say positive anymore. At best we can hope that we don't have another season like a couple seasons ago where we have a 6 game losing streak.
P.S. NO one wants to blame Romo for the loss. But 5 interceptions just can't happen. If he does that again he might find himself on the wire. And not to mention.. if you were Tony Romo would you stick around and get pummeled another season for a team that continuously screws up any real chance at a play off.

The bye week was needed for us fans too. Hope is a powerful thing, atleast we have hope until the kickoff and we will know more by mid 2nd quarter which way the game, and posssibly our season is heading. I want to say the Cowboys will win, however, I can't. We are just not a good team. The Ravens defense against our O-line will be brutal.Here is a thought on that; Ryan Cook is out, Costa is returning, I would not be surprised if his back tightens up again and he cannot play, if so, remember, Cook is out. Than what? That would be a disaster. I just do not see the Cowboys improving enough during a bye week to win. In response to your comment about the defense scoring or special teams scoring, when was the last time that happened? We do good to just get a turnover, and when we do, we never seem to score. Cowboys must not turn the ball over, be able to run the ball, the defense needs to create a game changing turnover and minimize the Ravens 3rd down conversions. Even in doing that, it will be tough for us to win. Playing better and keeping it close and losing a close game does not cut it either, this team should be beyond moral victories, those kinds of "wins" do not get you to the promised land. GO COWBOYS!ReplyDelete
Football is the game of uncertainty and you never know which team would be the winner. The game can be changed anytime. So you just wait and watch.ReplyDelete
I feel your pain, bro. And I know why you're feeling the way you're feeling. But I don't think the Week 1 win was a complete mirage. I don't think the simplifying the pre-snap will help Romo as much as it will help the receivers (I'm looking at you, Dez Bryant) and the offensive line. Unfortunately, and too my eternal consternation it seems year in and year out, the latter is at the core of my misgivings. The two weakest parts of the team are the offensive line and the defensive line. Those guards in particular need to step up big time or it's going to be a long, long day. But the defense has played well so far. Any defense will lose when the offense gives up five freaking turnovers (three of which I do not blame on Romo). Anyway, here's to you being wrong, my man.ReplyDelete

I have followed the Cowboys for 10 years now ever since I first arrived in Texas. I have to say not much has changed. You see flashes of brilliance followed by mediocrity. Jerry Jones wants to buy a championship with high profile players the problem being this is the NFL and not the MLB. The organization needs some serious structure and no involvement on Jerry's part. The only way that happens is if it hits Jerry the most where it matters (aka bottom line). As far as this season goes I do not see a lot of improvement from this point onwards. You never see a sense of urgency at any time during the game. The attitude seems to be so show up physically on Sunday..get paid... do the same till December and then enjoy a vacation...that has to change..ReplyDelete

I hate these "positive" losses. The losses that people feel good about because they give you hope that the team is playing better. I want them to win the games they have a chance to win. This is the same nonsense as last year. They should have won games and ended up losing. They played really well today, on the road, against a very good Ravens team. But like last year, they can't get the job done at the end. You have to hit the field goal. I don't care if it's 51. A kicker's job is to make those. Sorry, venting just real disappointed to be looking at this team with a 2-3 record. Luckily they should really feast on Carolina next week to even their record. Won't be enough to turn this ship around but hopefully it'll make me feel better.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 14, 2012 at 4:38 PM
It's bull s*$@ to say that Jerry Jones is trying to buy a championship at this point. Our core players have been drafted and developed, not brought in. Lee, Ware, Carter, Ratliff, Romo, Witten, Bryant, Austin, Murray, Smith, etc. Make a new argument, that was true about 5 years ago- circa T.O.ReplyDelete
I HATE losing this game. But don't make any arguments about the cowboys this week because if Bailey hits the field goal, then all is well in Cowboy country and Romo is back on track. He did everything he could. So did the defense. If you want to blame someone, blame coach Joe D. The first 5 games of the season have been an absolute travesty. Other than that, an argument made this week is utter bull sh@#.
- AnonymousOctober 14, 2012 at 4:56 PM
It's BS to defend JJ on any point one way or another. He needs to be villainized beyond the point of recognition. In an interview he said 'Should I hire a General Manager? You know alot of people say that but we make money every year so why would I? We are still America's team and as long as I'm making money and I enjoy doing this why would I ever stop?'ReplyDelete
He should be shunned! the crooooook..
Not that it is here nor there. Cowboys lost another pathetic game. You can blame the kicker for missing a 51 yard field goal. but he is one of the best in the NFL and it happens. He has saved so many games I refuse to let anyone say anything against him. The Offense shouldn't have scored a touchdown on the first drive like it was a walk in the park. Then waited until the 4th quarter to stage a comeback.
So many other problems than our statistically phenomenal kicker. Rewind 3 years and you had a kicker to complain about.
Just saying,
- AnonymousOctober 14, 2012 at 8:18 PM
I wish the kicker could've made the kick. Kicker on the Cardinals nailed a 61 yarder to send the game to overtime. Kicker on the Falcons hit from 55 to win the game. But this is how things go for the Cowboys. When they have a chance for a season-turning game, they come up short. Dez has to take a lot of the blame today. Three drops including the two-point conversion that hit him in the numbers. That ball has to be caught. Next week they'll be 3-3 and still only a game out of first. Things are bad but all is not lost yet.ReplyDelete

I was one of Vreni's " students" on the day and can only say she is a brilliant teacher.
We all had a fantastic time and everyone was thrilled with their own work--isn't that a compliment to the teacher?
And yes, some of us have got the bug and want to do more.

To say that Ryan Kesler has tunnel vision at times would be accurate. The gifted two-way pivot was criticized at times last season for failing to properly use his linemates (Kesler isn't totally blameless, but he did see a revolving door of wingers and seemed out of sorts for much of 2011-12 after rushing back from offseason hip surgery).
There is a reason why Kesler looks to shoot – he has a great shot. In 2010-11, he used a newly-developed wrist shot to score a sizable chunk of his 41 goals. Teams seemed to key on his go-to move last season, which was a major reason (along with fewer power-play opportunities and shooting percentage regression) for the decline in goals (only 22). He loves rushing the puck up the ice on his off wing or up the middle, cutting in, and firing a wrist shot across his body to the blocker side of the opposing goaltender (or the glove hand side for the righty catchers).
On January 21st, 2012, Kesler scored a beautiful goal by doing exactly what got him 41 goals one season previous – rushing the puck up the ice, taking it to the middle of the ice, and scoring on a wrist shot. The difference with this goal is that he was a bit tighter in to the goalie, and he added a deke before shooting the puck.
The goal:
Let's break it down.
The play starts with Kesler pouncing on a loose puck at center. The word pouncing gets overused in sports (pounced on a rebound, pounced on a loose ball… you get the point), but it works perfectly to describe how much he wants the puck here.
Chris Higgins, as he is known to do, works his butt off to lose his check. And would you look at that – actual photographic evidence of Kesler looking at a teammate. How about them apples?
Perhaps the nicest part of the goal – Kesler evades the back checking Sharks forward with a slick toe drag. He also recognizes that Dan Boyle only half-commits to block the pass, leaving Antti Niemi vulnerable to the back door play.
A lot is going on here. Higgins pulls up to bang home a rebound, since he knows Kesler is shooting it. Boyle has pulled a 180 and is now parallel to the goal line, while Niemi's glove hand appears to be anchored to the ground, leaving only one place for Kesler to shoot the puck. Spoiler alert: it isn't along the ice.
Kesler looking at Higgins from a different view, just in case you didn't believe me.
Why does this goal rank in the top 10? Well, it was one of a few glimpse of how dominant Kesler can be when all of the parts of his game are working. Shortly after this goal was scored, in early February, Kesler got injured and I'm not sure we ever really got to see him at "full speed" for an extended period of time last season. Two, it was a big goal at a big point of the year against a top rival in the Western Conference.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Ray Prohaska: "the more he fished, the more he painted."
... and another, from a decade later.
I asked Ray's son, Tony, if his dad felt obliged to experiment with new styles during the 50's, to keep up with changing trends.
Tony replied, "I think the Art Directors kind of dictated that (the style thing)."
"I remember Ray saying, in the late fifties and sixties, that all they wanted was Bob Peak. He also refered to some of that loose later style as the "it's raining all the time", style. "
In spite of that (and from what we've seen, Ray did enjoy experimenting with style now and then) he seems to have still found a certain amount of work from the magazines for his more tradititional approach, even in the late 50's-to-early sixties.
The pieces above and below are from 1959 and 1962, respectively.
As well, Tony writes, "as the business declined in the sixties, two clients that he found were the AMA Journal, and Standard Oil's house organ.., he did a few covers for each one as I remember, and they were good."
Tony writes, "I'd probably be right in saying that Ray felt that he, Ray, and Wally Morgan (another old guy that my father was great friends with), were the best draftsmen around....Ray used the term draftsmen alot, to connote drawing." That's a statement that makes me wonder, in conjunction with Ray's somewhat frustrated sounding comment about all art directors wanting Bob Peak and the "rainy day" look, if he didn't feel somewhat demoralized by the decline of the illustration business as it had been until around 1960.
But in his biography of his father at rayprohaska.com, Tony describes a far happier situation:
"When not illustrating, he was busy painting portraits, until, that is, he discovered the East End of Long Island. Then the sea began to demand his attention, and he began to divide his time between painting and fishing. At first his paintings were realistic, rock pools and the driftwood and skate eggs that line the shore, but they became more abstract, more rhythmic, and more involved in the action of fishing. And the more he fished, the more he painted."
And this final bit, from one of our correspondences: "... he had a pretty content old age, as far as it went."
* Tony Prohaska has put together an extensive website devoted to his dad's life, where you can read a very thorough biography and see many more examples of the artist's work. Go to The Art of Ray Prohaska for more.

Great week on Ray Prohaska, Leif. It's interesting how illustrators, worlds apart, had so many things in common. Just a couple....and I had to laugh....his opinion of artist agents....'crooks, so you had to find a lesser one'. And describing the 60's 'raining all the time trend'. Right on, and what I call the 'acrylic swish' period. I was as guilty as any....we had to stay 'trendy'. Art directors and advertising demanded the new look and new fad of the day. Good blogs!ReplyDelete
Once again,the accounts of growing up with an illustrator parent are fascinating.The inside stories of the people and business are priceless.ReplyDelete
I discovered Ray's work in the Forty Illustrators And How They Work book.His demonstration painting started with a gouache underpainting,followed by an oil overpainting.His drawing skills were solid also,making for a beautiful result.The By Mutual Consent paintings look great. Thanks, Tony and Leif.

Actually wasn't sure what 'raining all the time trend' meant. I was ascribing it to the often somewhat subdued lighting overall.ReplyDelete
But obviously it was the 'acrylic swish' Charlie refers to.

Well, it's that time of year again... time for the Dosier Family Vacation! And, as seems to be the tradition, we're headed back to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. If I could take you all with me... well, I probably wouldn't. It's already crowded enough there. Anyway, I'm doing something a little different this year. Normally, while I'm away, I leave The Muppet Mindset in the "capable" "hands" of The British Correspondent. Finally, after two separate weeks of... interesting stuff, I've decided to continue posting even while I'm on vacation--just for you!
Don't worry, it won't ruin my vacation. Secretly, the articles for this week are all already to post, so I just have to press a button. Hopefully I won't miss any major news while I'm gone--because if I do, The British Correspondent will have to cover it.
In conclusion (which is how my teachers always taught me not to end my papers), if you would like to follow along with the Muppet stuff I find on my Walt Disney World adventures, be sure to follow The Muppet Mindset on Twitter. If you would like to follow all of my tweets about every aspect of my Walt Disney World trip, you can follow my personal Twitter account, @RyanDosier.
Have a Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah day, Muppet fans!

Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that nose tackle Shaun Cody was day-to-day with "rib issues."
That's a broad explanation, and technically not false. But it doesn't quite do justice to the problem, either.
According to Tania Ganguli of the Houston Chronicle, Cody has a punctured lung and broken ribs, which kind of sounds worse.
"Shaun has always been able to work through things," Kubiak said during his press conference Wednesday. "We're 100 percent committed to the training room."
Cody played through a back problem earlier this year, and returned to Sunday's game. But a punctured lung goes beyond the kind of "rub some dirt on it" treatment.

Are you under stress?
There is so much about our world today that causes stress upon the heart, mind, body and soul, writes Dudley Rutherford, author of God Has an App for That, and senior pastor of the 10,000-member Shepherd of the Hills Church in Los Angeles. Our busy schedules fill every waking hour with important appointments and tasks. Unceasing news of war and political unrest worldwide, in addition to an unsteady economy here in America, bring about constant worries and fears. Moreover, sickness or the painful loss of a loved one or strife within one's family further exacerbate the trials we experience here on earth. But, advises Rutherford, in looking to God's word, the Bible, in the midst of our suffering, we discover an astonishing command.

PRETORIA, South Africa —
When Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela began attending school and church in his tiny rural village in the early 1920s, he adopted Nelson as his "Christian name." Before that, though, he was known simply as Rolihlahla, a traditional name that basically means "troublemaker."
Not many would associate Mandela with that type of word. His image is of grace and forgiveness and very cool shirts. But to forget this very important part of this great man's legacy is to sanitize it, make him into the image that others wanted — grandfatherly, jiving, smiling.
I encountered Mandela a number of times, and he was an amazing person to be around. But, while reflecting as the world gathers at my doorstep to bid him farewell, the first thing that comes to mind was his granite-like grace. Mandela stood his ground with a steadfastness that was often disconcerting because the media image of him was quickly made grandfatherly. If he chose to do something, however, he did it and was not easily swayed. It wasn't that he was stubborn, for that diminishes the person, but he had a grit and determination that surprised even those closest to him. On one occasion he quietly and resolutely upbraided his staff for making him late. He never raised his voice, but rather told a story — a very important part of our African custom — and had his staff in tears.
Mandela also was a very organized and disciplined man. In my current parish assignment, the presidency is part of the parish and parishioners have told me of encountering the man on the street every morning as they walked their dogs and he took his all-important exercise. Old boxers' habits don't die easily. His desk was immaculate and almost rigid in its organization. It seemed the discipline of a third of his life in a brutal prison system had made its mark.
But the one thing that really stands out for me — and I can only imagine that it is the coming together of a number of different influences — was the way Mandela treated people. He saw eye to eye. Whether you were the parishioner walking the dogs in the morning or the person in a squatter camp or a dignitary, you never took on a more important position. You were equal to him and he to you. I doubt I have ever met a person more able to exemplify how to treat people equally. He lived this value.
This attitude is "troublemaking" in the South Africa where I grew up — and troublemaking for the world in which we live. We are taught to work and relate in a profoundly disturbing way: by either looking down on or up to others. To encounter them as equals is to be troublesome.
If we are to take Nelson Mandela's legacy and truly live it out, we must commit to live as he did. To look upon one another as equals. I can only imagine that this was a granite-determined choice that he made. If your whole life is spent fighting systems of oppression, then you get to the point of choosing a life of bitterness and revenge or one of living out your values unshakably. He did this.
Was Mandela a saint? No. A great man, yes, but no saint. I doubt any modern politicians and lawyers are. He presided over a government that baton-charged abortion-on-demand into our lives and country. He was first a loyal servant of the African National Congress, the party he served for many years and for whom he shaped so much policy. Sometimes, that has been a surprising legacy and not one easily sanitized.
He did, however, exemplify how simple granite grace and dignity could be the point of encounter for reconciliation. He was the master of the symbolic gesture, from visiting the widow of the founder of apartheid and having tea with her, to the way that he chose to work the often petty political systems in the world. He modeled, on many levels, an approach to person that was instantly disarming.
The weekend after Mandela died, I asked how many of my parishioners remembered the fraught times between 1985 and 1994.
These were violent times ruled by violent men and women. South Africa was not a nice place to be. We lived in a constant state of panic and despair. We were militarized and monitored. The ruling white elite chose attack as its preferred method of defense. We were embattled and under siege. I had to register for the military at the age of 16 and going there was inevitable — it was that or flee the country.
The burden of violence, of separation and the antagonism of race politics was part of our very fiber. The thought of the possibility of a peaceful change, of an inclusive society and a future seemed beyond us. We had no hope.
The negotiations for our future dragged on for months into years. The venue was raided by right-wing white people desperate to ensure a future in the land they felt entitled to by God himself.
And then we met great men and women. I think that was our biggest shock. Granite had become granite grace. We met men and women who were determined to destroy the systems of discrimination and separation not only by violence but by encounter. In the moments of greatest stress, the tipping point was reached and could have gone quickly over to violence and all out warfare. It didn't. This was by grace and granite grace. A steely determination to seek out the good, the possible, the common good. And that was disarming.
I have lived through a period of profound grace in what the retired Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu called the "rainbow nation." I have lived through the dismantling of the apartheid system and the installation of a finely crafted mechanism for every person to be a person. I have witnessed the profound change open and inclusive schooling has on children and the future. I see how we can still disagree profoundly with government without having to resort to violence or belligerence.
I have also seen how a man of granite grace surrounded by like-minded people can change the destiny of 50 million people.
I watch Twitter closely. One tweet said, "Could the next Nelson Mandela please stand up?" On my timeline, the very next (unrelated) tweet was: "Imagine a world in which 50 million Nelson Mandelas stood up." Both are important points to ponder, indeed.

Patensie is a small town in the Gamtoos River Valley in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, near Humansdorp.
Patensie is situated in a citrus producing area on the edge of the Baviaankloof Mega-Reserve (part of the Cape Floral Region world heritage site) and Stinkhoutberg Nature Reserve. The town exists mostly to support the citrus farms surrounding it, but with the stunning views in the valley, proximity to the nature reserves and many game farms, it is also offers a lot of opportunities for tourism.
Get in
By car
Follow the N2 West from Port Elizabeth (about 70km) or the N2 East from Garden Route and take the Humansdorp turnoff (R330). Follow the R330 to Hankey and then the R331 to Patensie. The R330 and R331 both tarred roads in very good condition, but if you intend to explore further into Baviaanskloof a 4x4 is advisable.
By plane
Get around
The town is very small and most of the attractions you would want to see will be in the surrounding areas, you really need a hired car in order to explore. The R330 and R331 into Patensie and most of the surrounding roads are in very good condition and a normal car is all you will need. If however, you want to explore further into Baviaanskloof a 4x4 is recommended as many of the roads in the reserve are gravel and some roads may not be driveable with a normal car. This is especially true for the road between Combrink's pass and Sandvlakte. Phone +27 (0)42 283 0630 for an update on the condition of the road.
The Gamtoos valley offers many stunning views and rock formations. Best way is to take a slow drive and explore the surrounding area.
Get out

The second one definitely means "She bought some chocolate in the USA, and brought it home to me.
In some cases, the first might have the same meaning as the second. In other cases, it might mean "She bought some chocolate in the USA, and then delivered it to me in the USA"
Also note that you would say "the USA" instead of "usa", and chockolate is misspelled (the proper spelling is "chocolate")
Hope this helps!
- Mark
#1 could be read that you are in the US and she traveled to the US and brought you some chocolate.

What is challenge? Talking about challenge is difficult when the vocabulary we have is limited to "physical" or "mental." It doesn't give us the necessary tools to examine games with any sort of substance. The Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics (MDA) framework states "Charades emphasizes Fellowship over Challenge; Quake provides Challenge as a main element of gameplay."1 We inherently recognize that the challenges between these games are significantly different, but there is no language available to explain that difference. We need to move away from vague, ambiguous words like "physical" or "mental" and toward a more definitive vocabulary. But what?
In A Theory of Fun, Raph Koster wrote "fun is just another word for learning."2 Fun comes from learning and mastering new experiences. We learn a game's underlying patterns to the point of absolute and intuitive understanding. It's simply what we do. Fundamentally, games are engines for learning. And if this is the case, then we could borrow a framework that explains how we learn.
Educational theorist Howard Gardner's study Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences outlines seven different learning styles, comprising:3
In his later work, he introduced two more: Naturalistic and Existential.4 In this framework, all of us enter a learning setting with these intelligences already in place and the educator draws upon and addresses these intelligences to guide learning.
Likewise, games draw upon these intelligences to guide learning in the form of challenges. Admittedly, Koster does briefly hint that these intelligences could provide a vocabulary. He states: "the list suggests right off the bat that different people will be interested in different sorts of games because of their natural talents... they'll select problems and patterns they think they have a chance at solving."
These problems and patterns are the challenges that we see in games. This article intends to examine challenges with regards to the aforementioned taxonomy.
Spatial challenges test your ability to understand and judge space, and represent that space within your mind. They involve the recognition and use of patterns in space. Do note that these challenges are separate from the player's ability to move through or manipulate the space.
A jigsaw puzzle is a spatial challenge that involves properly arranging numerous oddly-shaped pieces to reveal a complete picture. To do so, you need to internalize the pieces and see them in the "big picture." Depending on your ability and the complexity of the puzzle, this is typically done incrementally, arranging the pieces into groups according to colors and patterns, and assembling mini-puzzles from each group. If you notice a part of a building, you find and add more pieces to construct that building's features. You continue to add more and more pieces, understanding how each fits in the whole, until you accomplish your goal.
Similarly, Portal is a game that requires you to internalize a space before knowing where to use the portal gun. For instance, Test Chamber 05 (see below) consists of a single door to with a lock that opens when two buttons are simultaneously depressed. There is one cube down in a pit and the other is on top of one of two platforms. On the other platform is an end of a portal. You must understand how to move through the space so that you can collect the cubes and open the door. This setup extends to each room in Portal, requiring that you understand more and more complex spaces in order to continue.
Linguistic challenges test your capacity to use language. They involve spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals.
Consider a crossword puzzle. The goal is to fill all of the empty squares with letters and form words or phrases. To be successful, you need to identify and understand the clues being used, differentiating between any similar words or phrases. Take the following puzzle: feline: C _ _. You need to recall a list of words with a similar meaning as "feline" that are three letters long and start with the letter "C", all of which require you to understand language.
Insult sword fighting in the Secret of Monkey Island is another example of a linguistic challenge. It involves you and a pirate flinging insults and counter-insults at one another. To start, the pirate presents an insult, such as "You fight like a dairy farmer." You must retort with the appropriate counter-insult from your collection to win the round:
A "I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose."
B "And I've got a little TIP for you. Get the POINT?"
C "First you better stop waving it like a feather-duster."
D "How appropriate. You fight like a cow."
A nonsensical response causes you to lose the round. After you win (or the pirate wins) three consecutive rounds, you win (or he wins) the fight. Your ability to understand your potential retorts determines your success.

Blues blow 2-0 lead, lose to Red Wings
DETROIT (AP) - When the Detroit Red Wings raised their game in the third period, the St. Louis Blues couldn't match it.
Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall scored 56 seconds apart in the final frame to give the Red Wings a 3-2 comeback win over the Blues on Tuesday night.
"We showed good determination in the third period," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "We were down 2-0 to a good team that doesn't give up a lot of shots, a lot of opportunity. We worked our way back, had good goaltending."
Datsyuk added an assist, and Nicklas Lidstrom also scored for the Red Wings, who won their 11th consecutive home game. Ian White had two assists, and Jimmy Howard stopped 29 shots.
"We threw everything we had at them," Kronwall said. "We were fortunate to get a couple of those through at the end."
Detroit lost the first two meetings with the Blues this season in St. Louis.
Matt D'Agostini and Alexander Steen scored for the Blues, and Jason Arnott and Kevin Shattenkirk both had two assists. Brian Elliott made 29 saves.
"They dialed it up in the third and forced us into making mistakes," St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said.
Datsyuk tied the game at 2 with 8:41 left, deflecting White's shot out of the air off the rush for his 12th goal.
"A shot pass," Datsyuk said. "I just tried to put my stick on it."
Kronwall netted his eighth with a wrist shot from the left point with 7:45 remaining.
"Fil (Valtteri Filppula) made a great play, making their forwards come down on him so I could get some more room," Kronwall said. "Huds (Jiri Hudler) is doing a great job in front of the net and their goalie didn't see anything whatsoever, that's why the puck went in."
Kronwall was impressed by the way the Red Wings took the game to the Blues and gave the home fans something to celebrate.
"Tonight really was a sweet one. Just the fact that we came back, we knew we had a lot of momentum with the crowd in here," he said. "We did a good job in the third coming after them wave after wave. At the same time they sat back a little bit. We really took advantage of that."
On the flip side, Elliott lamented his club's lost lead.
"You're up on the road, you've just got to finish, playing a clear concise game," he said. "We didn't do what we needed to do in the third period and that cost us."
Lidstrom put Detroit on the board during a power play with 1:03 left in the second period. He scored his eighth of the season when he beat Elliott by one-timing a carom off the boards from the left point.
D'Agostini gave the Blues a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal 6:51 in. He tipped Shattenkirk's shot from the point out of the air and past Howard for his eighth goal.
Steen made it 2-0 with another power-play effort with 6:52 left in the middle period. Howard seemingly had Arnott's shot in his pads, but the puck trickled between his legs. Steen put it into the empty net as he skated behind Howard for his 13th goal.
NOTES: Detroit forward Tomas Holmstrom will miss a week to 10 days because of a strained groin sustained Monday night during a 4-1 win at Nashville. The Red Wings recalled forward Joakin Andersson from Grand Rapids of the AHL, and he made his NHL debut. ... Forward B.J. Crombeen made his season debut. He had been out with a broken shoulder since the final preseason game. ... Blues forward T.J. Oshie missed his second game because of a left wrist injury. ... St. Louis RW Jamie Langenbrunner missed his second game with the flu. ... Former Detroit player and coach Johnny Wilson died of lung disease. He was 82. Wilson once held the NHL iron man record of 580 consecutive games from 1951-52 to 1959-60 and won four Stanley Cup titles with the Red Wings. ... St. Louis C Patrik Berglund got hit on the side of the head with a puck off the stick of teammate Chris Porter while sitting on the bench with 5:48 left. Berglund seemed momentarily stunned but remained on the bench.

Movement, travel, and above all speed. That was the message of Hussein Chalayan's show today - a jarring cacophony of garments as displaced and confusing as the show's soundtrack, randomly scrolling like a poorly-tuned radio from one sound to the next. Chalayan's outfits seemed to have trouble with their frequency too - how else to explain an outfit that combined tailored suit jacket, bleached denim jeans, plimsoles and a leather wimple for good measure.
Backstage, Chalayan talked about the idea of an American road trip - that tailoring came from New York, the wimples and Dutch peasant caps from Amish Pennsylvania, heavy multicoloured wool embroidery spelled Mexico way, while whirlwind gowns encasing body and neck in spiral-cut clashing silks were inspired, naturally, by tornado paths of destruction. Imagine barrelling at break-neck speed through those destinations like a twister, and you have the justification behind this show, throwing together disparate influences and whisking them together into confusing styles. Sometimes, frankly, the whole thing just felt confused. There were beautiful pieces that could be extracted from the pile-up of product: those coats and jackets, mannish and oversized, looked great, playing with subtle tailoring quirks like colliding flap and besom pockets or dropping the notches in lapels. Floor-length Swarovski-emblazed red carpet gowns (the trip evidently swung by Hollywood) with jokey sunglasses spelling 'Mirage', however, had little appeal either as part of a narrative, or as stand-alone garments.
Chalayan opened his show with a tribute to Alexander McQueen, a designer whose career has run in parallel to Chalayan's own. While this collection was obviously well in the works before the tragic events four weeks ago, in a show seemingly obsessed with 'fast fashion' could Chalayan's tribute also be interpreted as pointed criticism of a system many saw as responsible for McQueen's suicide? It's uncertain, but certainly leaves room for thought. The trouble with conceptual fashion is that, like conceptual art, it can often become a case of The Emperor's New Clothes. If a concept is good enough, it will shine through the garments without needing to be over-explained, and the show will be all the stronger for it. Equally, just because the designer says it isn't a mess, doesn't mean it's not a mess.

Washington Crossing the Delaware
A hard, howling, tossing water scene.
Strong tide was washing hero clean.
"How cold!" Weather stings as in anger.
O Silent night shows war ace danger!
The cold waters swashing on in rage.

When star general's action wish'd "Go!"
He saw his ragged continentals row.
Ah, he stands sailor crew went going.
And so this general watches rowing.
He hastens winter again grows cold.
A wet crew gain Hessian stronghold.
George can't lose war with's hands in;
He's astern so go alight, crew, and win!
Rendezvous on Robson Street
Some small café on Robson Street
A quiet dinner, random talk,
Its awkward when we finally meet
And, afterwards, that nervous walk
To my hotel. I booked a room
In case our dinner, random talk,
Grew into something more, a bloom,
A kind of possibility
Where this hotel, some wine, the room
Fine view, brought us more easily
To what wed hoped for all along
A kind of possibility
Of meeting somewhere nothings wrong.
Accept the moment and not balk
At what wed hoped for all along.
A quiet dinner, random talk,
In some café on Robson Street.
Embrace this moment. Do not balk.
Our meetings awkward, yet its meet.
The paradelle is one of the more demanding French fixed forms, first appearing in the langue d'oc love poetry of the eleventh century. It is a poem of four six-line stanzas in which the first and second lines, as well as the third and fourth lines of the first three stanzas, must be identical. The fifth and sixth lines, which traditionally resolve these stanzas, must use all the words from the preceding lines and only those words. Similarly, the final stanza must use every word from all the preceding stanzas and only these words.

March 27 — Do you know the immigration story of one or more female ancestors?
So it was a huge surprise to find, in a very casual browsing for Rawcliffes on http://www.familysearch.org/, an entry for Alice Mason, nee Rawcliffe, born Hambleton 1853 and that she had died in Jamesburg, New Jersey on 24th February 1930 - the first time I was aware of any American connection. I was delighted to find this unknown American connection and began a new challenge to find out more using www.Ancesstry.com.
The New York Passenger Lists online revealed that John Mason had sailed from Liverpool to Brooklyn, New York, in 1886 followed by 34 year old Alice, a year later travelling with 6 children aged 1-13 and two pieces of baggage. What on earth was life like for them all on the voyage? If only I could discover why they took this step of adventure from a small Lancashire community to the teeming streets of New York!
Alice was the sister of my great grandmother Maria. Born 1853 at Hambleton, near Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, she was the fourth daughter of Robert Rawliffe and Jane Carr. She married John Mason and they settled in Fleetwood where they had six children - Robert William, Jane Elizabeth, John Thomas, James Richard, Margaret Alice and George Rawcliffe - all family Christian names. In the 1881 census, John was described as a general labourer.
The New York Passenger Lists online revealed that John Mason had sailed from Liverpool to Brooklyn, New York, in 1886 followed by 34 year old Alice, a year later travelling with 6 children aged 1-13 and two pieces of baggage. What on earth was life like for them all on the voyage? If only I could discover why they took this step of adventure from a small Lancashire community to the teeming streets of New York!
The Family Search information had been supplied by a contributor. Frustratingly when I wrote to find out more, the letter was returned "not known at this address". Further efforts to make contact with any American descendants were slow to bring results.
American census returns on www.ancestry.com showed that within twelve years of her arrival in Brooklyn, New York, Alice had a further five children - Arthur Valentine (born appropriately 14th February), Harold Arthur Victor, Lillian Eveline, Bessie Irene and Florence Adelaide. Arthur, Bessie and Lillian all died in infancy. The family took out American citizenship in 1895.
The 1900 census for the City of New York, Brooklyn showed a large Mason household of 10 iiving at 72 Hall street in what was probably an apartment building with four other families at the same address. John was described as an insurange agent. By 1910 he was a labourer in the Customs House, with eldest son Robert a driver - fruit producer and eldest daughter Jenny (Jane Elizabeth) aged 34 a label paster - canned goods and son John a shipping clerk. At some point the family moved across the river to New Jersey where they were for the 1920 census. Eldest and youngest sdaughters Jane and Florence were still living at home - both operators in a snuff factory.
The photograph above was a bit of a mystery. It was in the collection of my great aunt (Maria's daughter) but not identified and nothing to indicate where it was taken. It must surely be of one of of my great grandmother's sisters - Anne, Jane, Alice, or Jennet? The composition of the family and ages of the children ruled out Anne, Jane or Jennet. So is this Alice and James Mason? Eldest daughter Jane Elizabeth was still unmarried in the 1920 census, so she could be the woman on the back left, and is that her youngest sister and brother - possibly Florence and Harold?
The mystery was solved last year, when Bonny, the granddaughter of Florence Mason discovered my blog and got in touch - she had the very same photograph, but mounted with the name of a photographer in Brooklyn, New York - and she sent me more family photographs.
|Florence Adelaide, with her father
John Thomas Mason. c.1905 .
Florence looks to be about 7 years old, so taken c. 1905 - and what a magnificent hat for a wee girl - and her skirts look surprisingly short for the period.
I was also delighted to get this larger family group photograph (below) from Bonny, showing all eight children of Alice and James Mason, with Florence in the dark dress sitting at the front. Alice died in 1930 and James 7 years later, both buried in Fernwood Cemetery, Jamesburg.
Top - Robert, Jenny (Jane Elizabeth), Mother Alice, Father John, Harry
Bottom - Thomas (John Thomas), Alice (Margaret Alice), Florence, George and James
It is all thanks to the power of the Internet
that I discovered the story of my American connections.

The movie is really good. It worths seeing it.
don't listen to any one just go and watch it for your self , this movie is the best so far ,looking forward for more movies to come , we'll done WB
It was a great movie but i thought it was just funny how the flash runs
Awesome movie! Lots of action throughout. Would have liked to see more story. However, it did not disappoint.
Though lacking cohesion and sexist in its oversexualisation of Wonder Woman, a character that had translated so well to the big screen thanks to a Patty Jenkins movie not meant to appeal to boys' pulsion, Justice League seems to mean that DC movies finally understand that moviegoers like to have fun.
Movie was good although it felt like it could have been a lot more. Some of the dialogue felt artificial. The supporting characters all worked well as Aquaman seemed a lot more entertaining than I would have thought, Flash had some good comic relief moments, and Cyborg had a back story that has me wanting to know more about the character.
Loved it!
I liked it in the movie the caractere were funny
A good, not great, superhero movie. Some excellent action scenes for the big screen.
I was entertained. Two hours of jam pack entertainment. It has a lean and light. tone The new characters added a lot to the movie and maybe even steal the show. Some of the movie seemed rushed to fit it in the 2 hr time limit but it did move along at break neck speed. Even to fast if you didn't know the backstory from the comics. Steppenwolf was a adequate villain. All in all the franchise looks strong.

Inspiration Monday: SANAA

What better time to be inspired by SANAA than the Monday after they won the Pritzker Prize? We've featured a few of their projects here on Hatch over the years, and it's great to have this honor make us appreciate their entire body of work as a masterful collection. As you peruse their work, take note of the way they handle the relationship between inside and out, and how they work with surface and its qualities of reflection, transparency, and tranlucency. It's a constant play that pays meticulous attention to views. I also appreciate the way they consider the context of their built works. I'm kind of bummed that I'm writing this after perusing only photos, and that I've never experienced one of their spaces anywhere but in two-dimensions. First on my list: DIOR in Tokyo! 😉
Anyway, the first time they popped up on my radar was with the The Toledo Glass Pavilion:
One project that created a ton of buzz here in the states was the Jenga-like New York Museum of Contemporary Art in Hell's Kitchen:
One I had not seen until I started poking around on the interwebs was the Zollverein School:
Congratulations to Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA!
All images from e-architect, except for first New York Museum of Contemporary Art picture from here. Be sure to check out the photo media kit on the Pritzker site as well.
