1 1/2 pounds
orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
onion, chopped
1 (2 inch) piece
fresh ginger root, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon
red curry paste
1 (15 ounce) can
unsweetened coconut milk
3 cups
vegetable broth
3 1/2 tablespoons
lemon juice
1 teaspoon
sea salt
1 tablespoon
toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
EXCELLENT flavor! Fast supper technique: Put up broth to boil, (I used chicken rather than vegetable) peel the sweet potatoes, chunk them up into the broth, chunk up the onion and add to the broth. Substitution for curry paste and fresh ginger: 1 t chili powder, 1 t cumin, 1 t ginger, and 1 T curry powder. Once the potatoes were cooked, puree in the blender with the lemon juice and then pour back into pan and add the coconut milk, chopped cilantro & sesame oil. I skipped the salt. VERY tasty and quick! Garnished with a seasoned sour cream/yogurt blend and we can hardly wait to have leftovers tomorrow night!
This was not our favourite sweet potato soup. I followed the recipe exactly as written. We love thai food, but were disappointed by the flavour of this soup.

Exceptional! Will make it again and again. Substituted curry paste with 1 t-spoon of cumin, 1t curry, 1t ginger, 1t chili.) Also pureed one small bunch of cilantro with 1/2 a lemon worth of lemon juice and added a teaspoon of the mixture to each plate. The green cilantro mass against the red soup base looked very pretty!
Really good. A great way to use the leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is that my boyfriend wasn't wild about the soup.
I made the following changes to make the soup healthier and more authentic:
1. Used lite coconut milk from Trader Joe's instead of regular coconut milk to cut down on the calorie and fat content
2. I added more curry paste than the recipe called for- about 1 1/2 table spoons. I really like Thai curry flavor and I'm used to really strong Thai curries from restaurants.
3. Substituted fish sauce for the salt in the recipe and I added it while the soup was simmering
4. I cooked it for way longer than the original recipe calls for. After I added the sweet potatoes I simmered the soup for about a half hour.
5. Here's the big thing. The soup tasted bland, but I put 3/4ths of the batch into the blender and it made the soup go from ok to great. It made all the flavor from the sweet potatoes come out.
6. I added the cilantro, but not the sesame oil. The soup really didn't need the extra flavor.
SLOW COOKER OPTION. Put all but coconut milk into slow cooker. Be sure to peel and dice sweet potatoes. Turn on low heat for 7 hours. Process through blender, put back in cooker. Add coconut milk and garnishes (diced red peppers, cilantro, options are endless...) serve with home made bread. Tastes even better when curry marries overnight.
i love this recipe! I have made it twice now. I also add vegetables with the onions so that the soup is more hearty with cubed tofu before adding the liquid. Its great. i never have the curry paste, so instead i use chilis, curry powder, cumin and coriander powders.
I LOVED this. Totally authentic and totally thai. I boiled my sweet potato's and also added a 1 can of sweet potato's. I used 2 limes and some lemon juice. I also added more red curry paste. I did not puree this like some had suggested, and I don't find it necessary either. I would think that leaving it as is gives it a better texture. I also added cooked shrimp and it went perfectly. The toasted sesame oil was a great garnish, it really added a warmth to the dish. Don't forget to top it off with the cilantro... DELISH!!
Delicious and so easy and fast. I prefer this type of soup creamy so I peeled and cubed the sweet potatos then boiled them (faster than baking) I them added the water from boiling to my vegetable broth for more sweet potato flavour and blended. Served with a tbsp of sour cream with diced cilantro whipped in.

I've only been a member for a few months so I may not understand the background but it's starting to seem like FARR 2 is vaporware. Even the download page shows a delayed date of July crossed out over the promise of an August release. It is now almost October and I don't see any real discussion of an actual release date - not that it would be received with any confidence at this point.
It sounded like a good piece of software and I did not install the current version due to the promised features and availability of version 2. Now it seems that version 2 may never actually arrive? Any feedback as to actual status would be appreciated.

In a little-remembered quirk of Olympic history, the 1956 Summer games actually took place in two separate cities, five months apart! Due to livestock quarantine laws in Australia, the IOC was unable to hold the Equestrian events in Melbourne, the official site of the 1956 Summer Olympiad. So, they decided to hold the horse events in Stockholm, Sweden during the European summer, nearly half a year before the summer "Down Under". Published by the IOC at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, this poster features a reprint of the official poster for those games. Created by Swedish artist John Sjvrd, it is a historic piece of sports art for any Equestrian fan, and any collector of rare Olympics memorabilia. Whether you or a loved one competed in the games, attended as a fan, are a citizen of the host country, or are simply a fan of the Olympic movement, this is a must for the wall of your home or office!

Are conversations at the water cooler a professional form of communication? Ask second year graduate student Nara Cavalcanti and she'll likely say yes. If you ask what her motivation is for graduate school, she doesn't give a lofty wordy answer. She hasn't set out to save the world but she hopes to help the world communicate better. She wants to share what she has learned in her field of study, Corporate and Professional Communication with emphasis on internal communications.
"I really want to answer questions I've come up with while working in this field and perhaps provide organizations with good research and information about internal communication and its benefits," Nara says. All indications are she will succeed in doing just that.
Nara explains her internal communication studies as "communication within an organization." Communication within an office setting is an indication that communication to clients and the general public is on a solid foundation. Official communication includes "memos, guidelines, policies and procedures and the unofficial communication that goes on among and between the staff members of all organizations," she says. This includes "the exchange of ideas and opinions, the development of personal relationships, and the proverbial conversation around the water cooler. Internal Communication can give employees the information they need to do their jobs effectively and also allow them to take the pulse of the organization and understand its overall situation," Nara says.
Nara came to Radford University from her native Brazil in Summer '12. She said when she started meeting some of her professors she realized the teachers she had prior to enrolling at Radford were not as open as American teachers. "I really appreciate Dr. John Brummette, who was my first contact at Radford. He provided me with all the information I needed about the program and the university, and opening the doors for this great life/academic experience," Nara says.
Nara adds, "I have to mention Director of the Corporate and Professional Communications Program Dr. Lynn Zoch, a great professor who, provides opportunities related to academic studies and also to the workforce. She is always available to talk and share her experience as a communicator. I am so thankful for all she taught me."
"Nara is an exceptional student. She appears shy in class because even though her English is exquisite, she's still not sure of it," says Zoch. "She has always done her readings for the day, made notes and thought about the topic at great length." Because Nara has worked in an organization prior to coming back to graduate school, Zoch says she knows what she wants to get out of the program.
"That has been a challenge working with her on a directed study because she wants to go BIG on her project, and you just can't do that in one semester. Our goal now is to have this project become her thesis," Zoch says. "It still can't be as big as she wants if she wants to graduate in May, but at least it gives her more time to get into the literature and do the research needed."

You can see a video of the arcade in action at Youtube, here.
Things you will need:
1 sheet of 4'x8' 1/4" MDF
1 sheet of plexiglass
1 set of joystick and arcade buttons
1 posterboard
several cans of spray paint
an older PC
an LCD monitor
1 USB keyboard
soldering equipment
nes controller ports (ripped from a four score)
DB-25 connector
2 cases of Diet Coke :)
Inside is an old PC and a 17" LCD monitor. The back of the cabinet has two USB ports and two NES controller ports. You can connect regular, un-modded NES controllers and play with those or use the joystick and buttons on the control panel.
The front end is a simple VB program that auto loads when the PC boots. You never need to connect a mouse or keyboard to load your games. The VB program gives a list of games installed. Using the joystick, you can select the game you want to play.
Also, you can connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB ports in the back and use the set as a regular PC. It has wireless internet built in.
Step 1: Building the cabinet
Just wanted to share my latest arcade build with everyone who liked this Instructable. http://imgur.com/a/xrHcZ
Great job on the colors and the size of this - only thing missing is the chapter on allowing my wife to let me leave it on the kitchen counter.
Can you add the angle of the cabinet? It would be great!
You should make an updated one with a wii running emulators inside :D
google "raspberry pi". Its a tiny ARM computer that can run 2 player easily. Plus the emulators are easy to install on it.
You won't be able to play Duck Hunt...
Which is the best game ever...
And you can't put an old screen in there. They're huge..
nope. You need a CRT to use a zapper or even super scope.
i made this with the ideal form here i runs over 600 NES games i didn't make the cabinet i found an old arcade machine and gutted it.... added an old Gateway PC and an Acer 19' monitor.... painted some things.... re-soldered the power button to the cabinet and power button to the pc on the front put two USB ports on the front.. i cheated and used a Arcade DIY Kit Parts No Delay USB Encoder + 10x Push Button + Joystick i found on ebay for $39.00 ........ used windows XP and added a usb wifi adapter inside.... i wrote a VB script but with 600+ games I've decided just to rewrite it to load the emulators NES,SNES,Gameboy,N64...ect. the joystick works as the mouse the A,B buttons are the R,L click of the mouse...and tap a button and the joystick reverts back to the controller.... if anyone need help just email me at email@example.com i can help with the VB script and show u where to get the program to use the joystick as the mouse.....
Where did you get the buttons, and the joy stick
I am looking to make this but I am having trouble with all the wiring and stuff. I am a girl and this will be a massive challenge for me to build but I am no good with all that fidly bits like wiring or computers/programs. Is there any way you could give me a step by step instructions on all the wirings and stuff? I would appreciate it so much!
I love your idea and I would love to make it.
firstname.lastname@example.com :).
If you want to find good mentors you can look for some Hackerspaces in your area (hackerspaces.org). You don't have to join, but you could probably find some people who know their stuff. If that doesn't work, you could start working on it and when you come across a problem or confusing part ask questions on various forms. We have the great Q&A here on Instructables for almost anything, Stack Overflow (stackoverflow.com) works great for programming queries, Super User (superuser.com) for computer related questions, and Electrical Engineering (electronics.stackexchange.com) if you need an electronics Q&A.
They already have thousands upon millions of questions already asked and answered. You can join and ask your own questions, but I never have had to. If you can't find what you need there, just Google what you want you are having problems with and a few keywords, then follow the instructions they give you.
I should tell you, this isn't something a novice can just build in a week on and off. If a seasoned maker had all the parts they might be able to pull it off in a weekend. I should tell you that need to get ready for some frustration and dead ends. They'er just an unavoidable part of the game. I don't want to scare you away from doing this, though. It's an awesome feeling I get whenever I finish a difficult project and it works. I wouldn't want to keep anyone from that.
Awsome job btw. SAL
now all i need is some diet coke.... oh yeah and all that other stuff

For Windows XP-Vista-7:

The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Share your views on the state of the Animation Industry.
The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Just when I thought they might be getting it together.
Have you seen the new logo for the Animation Guild yet?
Here it is...
Since when did the animation union go into the mattress spring business?
To top it off, this union which undoubtedly has the among the very best artists in all of the United States of America as its members...
They outsourced this !!!
They outsourced the design of this abominable new logo to a corporate design firm in Rhode Island!
The Animation Guild, based in Los Angeles County, representing so many absolutely incredible artists...
This union who bitches and moans and gripes and complains about outsourcing animation production... outsourced the design of their own logo!
Excuse me while I finish LMAO...
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
So have they gone from 'TAG' to 'AG' ?
It's amazing that the executive board of the most creatively vibrant body of organized artists in all of North America and perhaps the world can't see just how bad this logo is.
Why couldn't they have had a contest among Guild members for a new design?
Why outsource the design of your own brand to a company in Rhode Island that has nothing to do with the animation union?
Man, this has kicked up some bad feelings again about these guys again. Won't go into it.
But I will say that this design absolutely sucks in my opinion. The way they handled it is an insult to the individuals and the great creative community that comprise the membership of this union.
Would you guys wear this as a t-shirt? A mattress spring that reads 'AG" ?
I wonder if they can get a refund.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
The Animation Guild...by really bad design we represent you.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
I can see the meeting now....
Union dude-"Hey fellas, its time for a new logo!"
Some other Union dude-"hey, I've been around artists for a while now. We don't need to hire anyone, lets save some money and I'll handle it."
Other redundant Union dude-"Hey my wife read a magazine that had some design in it."
First Union dude-" Hey lets ask her to do it for exposure!!!"
Whole room-"Awesome idea!!"
Vwalla, new logo!
moral of the story, I'm sexist...thank you...
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
I got an email from very important people that I won't mention...cuz they are REALLY important and they don't want to be know...but they heard that their friends said that they heard that the design represents the following...
The big thick "A" represents the ass of IATSE which you can kiss since it's the only representation you're gonna get.
and the little thin "g" represents the guts lacking in the animation unions members....
hence the motivation of the choices made behind this prolific representation of artists and their...representatives.
its official and s***, hence the blue color...which represents official and s*** status...Which up to this point was really only unofficial...but now...it's official...and s***.
Kiss the ass of the gutless.
Sounds like a rock song...HEY!!! dude, there should totally be a rock song theme for this Credible Crest of Crustitude!
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
awwww man, I'm being crass...what an ass...a barkin ass watching the parade go by while I'm left in the dust by fearless leaders, strong flags and catchy theme songs! ...wait, I wrote the catchy theme song....and their logo sucks butt....and their leaders...well...lets just pretend I didn't write this last response..someone might use it against me to prove how wrong I am...
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
...so lets get back on topic...the guild held a competition at a grade school art class for a new logo and this is what they did...thats awesome. good for them for being proactive and reaching out to the children, exposing them to new exposure they may never have been exposed to...surely this exposes that in which can expose the rest of you nah sayin exposers...ok, that wasn't even a word.my bad
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Damn that design sucks!
It says nothing. Absolutely nothing except look at how unimpressive we are.
But... they did go a hip and trendy corporate brand developer in New England cuz there's nobody in the union who can do anything as crappy as this.
Well, there goes the caravan!
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Who do you think you are, Charles??? A world class designer/animator/teacher or sumtin???....tisk tisk...
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
You're world class bro.
Life is beautiful. Even with world class ugly logos that incredibly talented animation union members had nothing to do with in designing or suggestion or even having any idea that their union logo brand was being redesigned.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
The 'A' and the 'G' are flipped. Get it? Like flipping animation when it's being drawn!
Still sucks!
Gotta watch it. If I'm critical of the decisions that the virtually autonomous biz rep or his executive board make they might take AN's link off of their blog sporting that cool new logo they outsourced to a Rhode Island company to come up with.
Oh wait...
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
What I think happened is, they couldn't afford a higher quality logo so they went for something on the low end, but then after they got the actual logo it started falling apart. What you see now is just the "a" because the "t" and the "g" fell off already. The back of the "a" started to fall off but it's still hanging on to the front of the "a" upside down. It will probably fall off soon and then it will be just the front of an "a" which is not so bad. Could be worse.
If the last "a" fell off, then it would be nothing, but then sometimes having or doing nothing is saying a lot.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Just like the link to AN in 2008, guess what disappeared from the Guild's blog today?
If you said that suck ass design of an outsourced logo design you're right!
They brought back their old logo.
Not only that, but the blog topic introducing that new logo disappeared as well !!!
Yep, when the heat is on, just sweep it all under the carpet eh Guild execs? Pretend like it never happened!
Well, we've saved that masterpiece of outsourced mediocrity that you pissed your Guild member dues away on you. Blame it on everybody else but yourselves as you always do. It'll be here for all to see and remember.
Your elections are next year. Guild members, why not get a fresh crop of new faces in there. Take control of YOUR union.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Are you serious?? they took it all down? hahahahahahaha
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Yep. It disappeared completely. No new logo and no new logo topic. Gone just like that!
Their members were leaving comments and it was obvious they not only hated the new logo they also were upset that this was an outsourced job. Now they're leaving questions about it in other topics.
See that? See what happens when their corruption and hypocrisy are exposed?
That's okay cuz we got the proof right here.
You can't hide this Guild execs! You outsourced the design work of the Guild's very own logo without consultation or vote or input of the membership!
This is what a design firm in Rhode Island provided.
This is what the Guild execs accepted!
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
I wonder how tired everyone is of this game. Because the people are responsible, not their leaders. THeir leaders are doing what they have always done. Always. It will get progressively worse without awareness of self.
It says to me that the people are disconnected...and that frustrates them so they take pop shots at the people they put in charge by their complacent reactions...
Reactions are very important but without proactive behavior it's just children whining that their stomachs hurt because they keep eating sugar for every meal.
Immediate satisfaction is never as satisfying one might think.
They all gave their power away so that others could represent their power.
I believe their leaders when they say you can't go and change law. I believe them when they say its the best they can do. I believe their defeatist attitudes...because I believe thats who these people are...
But what I really believe is the animation community all put them their. That all the weight of responsibility for the things the community bitches about lies on the shoulders of the bitches...ya dig?
But I get it. You really have to have balls, tenacity and no fear to do whats right... if you don't have those, just sit down and keep bitchin...cuz thats what you have created.
We don't need a union to create. We don't need a union to get the word out about our work and we don't need a union to speak on our behalf. It's an outdated idea held together by fear.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
This union is about benefits management. Nothing else. But it can be about something else!
That's the problem with this old, anemic, entrenched, comfortable dead in the head executive board. It's not their age that makes them old. It's their lack of young thinking and new ideas and general attitude.
It's their business rep Steve Hulett who runs the show. Almost all of their blog news and editorials come from him. Nothing happens within this union except for Steve Hulett's will. He doesn't really work for the artists. He works for IATSE. That's his employer not the Guild members.
It's all cow poopoo man.
I know what I saw at a meeting of the Animation Guild the evening of September 30, 2008. When I reported what he said and how he said it and handled it when a grievance was brought to him by a group of artists. I was on the artists side man! I wanted to see their grievance addressed with dignity!
Instead of the artists, the Guild members, it became about Hulett cuz he was exposed. That's when they took AN's link off of their blog. The symbol of our working together and mutual respect and of EVERYTHING AN has done over the years to support the union.
And then they had his side kick flunky Kevin Koch who was president back then assail me and our community on the forums. Remember that? When the president of the Guild who's been a member of AN FOR YEARS came over here with his name calling and tried to discredit us? The whole character assassination strategy kicked in and Hulett used his trolls for years and years to trivialize AN and me and you personally over and over again. They'd watch for a Guild topic on AN that was catching on and then they'd comment anonymously over there trying to make it look like we were not to be taken seriously.
Here ya go everyone. This is what they're hiding from you now.
An outsourced design for YOUR union logo without any consultation or input from you. This was published on the Guild's blog on June 21, 2012 as YOUR OFFICIAL NEW LOGO and has since disappeared from their blog along with the topic.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Congratulations are in order!
This is the first time that a topic about the Guild has been featured on AN's homepage.
Dedicated Article for this date here.
We get a lot of concentrated traffic through articles on the homepage. Let's give everyone a look at the outsourced logo that disappeared.
Re: The Animation Guild's new logo... What the !?!?!?!?
Something else I'm noticing about this design guys. Let's do some further analysis.
To begin with, what would prompt a group of the most talented artists in the world, the union of animation artists in Los Angeles, to consent to something like this?
Well, they didn't consent. It wasn't designed by any animation union artist as well. Nothing would prompt them to come up with this in the first place. No self respecting artist in the Guild would ever come up with something this bad.
This was an outsourced job.
The lower case lettering throughout the design makes the union look weak and of no consequence.
What do the letters look like? They remind me of typewriter letters.
Today it's word processing, but traditionally who uses typewriters?
This is a logo more suitable for writers.
And who do we know who's a writer among the Guild's execs?
Their business rep Steve Hulett.
Writers control the animation union. Not animation artists. Writers have their own Guild. It's called The Writers Guild. Why are writers controlling a union for animation artists?
That's a writers logo not an artists logo. Writers have more influence in the animation union than animation artists do.
There's an election coming up next year Guild members. Maybe it's time for a change. You've had the same business rep dumbing you down since the 1980s. Don't you think that's long enough? Don't you think it's time for a change? Don't you think it's time for the ANIMATION ARTISTS of the industry to take control of the ANIMATION UNION of this industry?
Why not step up to the plate and take the reigns. You need a strong president and a strong executive board that puts the ARTISTS OF THIS BUSINESS FIRST.
You've got a good thing going with the Guild but you're being bamboozled. It's happening because of your longstanding apathy and your reluctance to confront the situation.
I hope someday you'll find the motivation to take back your own union.

Press Release2010-10-07
New major release of IBS' flagship distribution management system.
Stockholm, Sweden, October 7, 2010 – International Business Systems (STO: IBS B), the leading application supplier for wholesale and distribution, announced today the general availability of IBS Enterprise7, a new major release of the IBS Enterprise suite. Designed and architected with business scalability in mind, IBS Enterprise7 promises to be the only distribution management system a company needs regardless of size, location, reach or complexity. With more than 150 different and new areas of functionality, IBS Enterprise7 will help organizations scale their sales, markets, execution capabilities, and most importantly their efficiencies and control.
"Our vision of Scalable Distribution is to ensure that our customers never outgrow their core business applications. With IBS Enterprise7 we continue to deliver the robust proven solutions that our customers have now enjoyed for over 30 years. Now with increased scalability, our customers and indeed future customers, can be sure that they will never outgrow their application needs. Scalable Distribution is something all of our customers strive for, and now they know that their business software infrastructure will assist them achieving it." said Andy Bailey, Chief Marketing Officer at International Business Systems.

Jeanette Cronstedt LindCorporate Marketing, IBS ABTel: +46-70-860 25 firstname.lastname@example.com
Scale your sales
Distribution companies invariably operate in increasingly complex markets, with tightening margins, greater competition and a never-ending focus on sales and improved customer service. To help facilitate a greater scalability around sales execution, and in response to significant customer requests, IBS Enterprise7 now includes a new integrated best-in-class and world-recognized CRM offering. Additional and significant enhancements have also been developed to deliver more scalable e-commerce solutions, including a sophisticated portlet architecture for social media and customer self-service.
Scale your market
Pushing into new markets and deepening market penetration and share has become commonplace in wholesale and distribution, with companies needing to extend their basis of operations as well as their range of product and services. In short, today's demand-driven distributor needs to be scalable and global. IBS Enterprise7 helps simplify that challenge by delivering a single offering but with localized language, business regulations and cultural facets built in. IBS Enterprise7 helps companies easily expand their business in other countries, with a localized system that still provides a consolidated view, visibility across territories and common application platform. For example IBS Enterprise7 includes business processes that allow distributors to sell products across different legal companies, whether the goods are stored in their own warehouses, within the company group or by a supplier.
Scale your execution
Increased volumes and more complex networks mean that execution capabilities need to grow. IBS Enterprise7 includes a new role-based user interface with dynamic and scalable integration to different applications and web-pages, allowing user familiarity and rollout in the fastest possible time.
Scale your efficiency
Increasing transaction and data volumes can in turn lead to out-of-control inefficiencies. IBS Enterprise7 ensures organizations never fall into the pit of growth paralysis, with many new automated processes. These include automated customer and supplier rebate processes and a dynamic tool to rationalize the supplier invoice process, resulting in increased productivity and significant time savings.
Scale your control
The specific processes of wholesale and distribution require specific management, reporting and controls; we call it Distribution Intelligence. A set of integrated planning, real-time monitoring and performance improvement tools, Distribution Intelligence provides everything needed to ensure companies stay in control of their business, no matter how small or large.
With over 30 years of experience, IBS is a leading provider of distribution management solutions. IBS focuses on industries such as automotive, electrical components, paper & packaging and pharmaceutical distribution. More than 4,000 customers across some 40 countries use IBS software to gain fast and measurable returns on IT investments.
IBS B share is listed on NASDAQ OMX First North Exchange Stockholm. For more information, please visit http://www.ibs.net

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — perhaps better known as Obamacare— will make it imperative that employers crack down on the poor health choices of their employees, according to a Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce health care reform panel that addressed the issue on Nov. 16.
Themed �Health Care Reform: What Is Next and How It Will Impact Your Business,� the panel featured regional experts William Hazel, Virginia�s secretary of Health and Human Resources; Bridget Bean, administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration; and Joanne Corte Grossi, an Obama administration-appointed regional director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Hosted by WJLA senior political reporter Scott Thuman, the discussion delved into the nuts and bolts of how the act will affect local small businesses.
�Nothing will affect small businesses immediately, but in 2014 you will be required to provide insurance if you are a company with 50 or more employees,� Grossi said. For 2013, the law primarily only affects state governments, she added.
Hazel, a member of Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell�s cabinet, spent much of his speaking time questioning where the money would come from for the law�s mandate on expanded coverage.
Starting in 2014, the legislation requires states to extend Medicaid eligibility to all non-elderly individuals with family incomes below 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
�Medicaid is currently 20 percent of our state budget,� Hazel said. �One in eight Virginians are already in Medicaid today. � We can�t meet the Medicaid demand today, so how can we possibly increase it?�
Grossi countered that the act�s initial expansion costs to states will be supplemented by the federal government, and that the act ultimately will enable many Virginians without coverage to be able to afford it.
�The first three years of Medicaid expansion is paid 100 percent by the federal government,� she said. �425,000 Virginians who don�t have coverage will then be able to have it. It is a moral imperative.�
�Unless health care ultimately costs less, paying less for your insurance means somebody else is paying more,� Hazel countered. �Currently, 18 percent of our GDP is spent on health care in the U.S. � There is nothing free in this.�
Grossi countered by stating: �There are 51 million uninsured Americans. That is the whole point of the Affordable Care Act. And by providing a larger pool of insured Americans, it will bend the cost curve.�
After an intervention by moderator Thuman, the subject then turned to the act�s specific impacts on local small businesses.
�Small businesses tend to pay 18 percent more for the same exact health care that large businesses get,� Bean said. �Small businesses are the engines of the economy, and whether we go off the fiscal cliff or not, federal budgets will shrink. That is the reality. Small businesses need to be ready to tighten their belts.�
Bean said that costs of the health care act to small businesses can be countered by employers taking certain actions to ensure their employees stay healthy.
�Everything is predicated on how many employees you have in the Affordable Care Act and how much they are costing you,� she said. �Obesity, for example, leads to many chronic health-care issues such as diabetes, that as an employer you will be paying for forever. Prevention is key.�
Grossi added that under the act, federal �worksite wellness� grants are available for employers who show a proactive model for keeping employees healthy. �There is generally a $3.20 return on every dollar invested in these plans,� she said. �And there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Companies like Johnson & Johnson and Caterpillar have paved the way and are happy to share info about their wellness plans.�
Bean added that companies can do many things to keep employees healthier.
�Offer free gym memberships, map out a walkable path near the location of your office for employees to use. Even just watching what you put in your vending machines can have an impact.�
According to Grossi, obesity and smoking alone account for more than $300 billion a year in U.S. health-care costs, and are the numbers one and two most preventable causes of death.
�With this act, we are really trying to make true systematic change to the system,� she said. �But we all need to pitch in and look at accountability to make it work.�

Mending the Disconnect
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?

How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
In his new book Monopolizing Knowledge, physicist Ian Hutchinson engages with the world-view he calls "scientism": "the belief that science, modeled on the natural sciences, is the only source of real knowledge".
Ever since modern science emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries, it has been used and abused for purposes that lie well beyond science. Biology has been particularly susceptible to ideological manipulation and application, a trend that shows no sign of abating.
Denis R. Alexander and Ronald L. Numbers bring together fourteen experts to examine the varied ways science has been used and abused for nonscientific purposes from the fifteenth century to the present day. -Amazon
"With scholarship and eloquence that reminds me of C. S. Lewis, Dinesh D'Souza addresses the urgent questions of our time, such as 'Is Christianity believable in the face of the discoveries of modern science and modern scholarship?' " - Reverend Robert H. Schuller
"The humility with which Myers writes and the intelligence with which he composes his arguments could disarm the most jaded cynic." – Worship Leader Magazine
Beyond the Firmament challenges all creationist camps to step outside of traditional paradigms and recognize how our modern scientific worldview actually blinds us from seeing the simple truth of Creation as it was originally intended.
"Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style." -- Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
Oracles of Science examines the popular writings of the six scientists who most influenced our perceptions of science.
In THE TWILIGHT OF ATHEISM, the distinguished historian and theologian Alister McGrath examines what went wrong with the atheist dream and explains why religion and faith are destined to play a central role in the twenty-first century. –From the inside flap of the book
In this tour-de-force Alister McGrath approaches the edifice of self-confident, breezy atheism so effectively promoted by Richard Dawkins, and by deft dissection and argument reveals the shallowness, special-pleading and inconsistencies of his world-picture. Here is a book which helps to rejoin the magnificence of science to the magnificence of God's good Creation. - Simon Conway Morris
Originally published under the title Philosophy of Science, this revised volume surveys how views of science have developed and changed over time, especially since the Kuhnian revolution of the 1960s. -Amazon
In this work the distinguished physical chemist and philosopher, Michael Polanyi, demonstrates that the scientist's personal participation in his knowledge, in both its discovery and its validation, is an indispensable part of science itself. -Amazon
"Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery." -William Erwin Thompson, New York Times Book Review

The world is ever more connected, transparent, socially responsible, collaborative, data-driven and rapid. That scares some people. It excites us. Because our entire organization is aligned around getting to the future first.
We were built on progressive lines: from our pioneering work with Intel, IBM, and Evian, to our early investment in digital, and to our place at the forefront of the debate about social media and social responsibility.
Today Havas Worldwide will continue to push its people, its business, and the brands we are lucky to work with ever faster to the future first. We'll work within the new values of the networked world, where brands rise and fall based on their role, responsibility, and citizenship. We'll be at the forefront of new ways of working: agile, collaborative, data-inspired. And together we will give our people, our business, and ultimately our clients the best chance to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Our legacy is what we create next.
Havas, in a bid to strengthen its mobile and digital capabilities in North America, has acquired Toronto-based Plastic Mobile, a mobile specialist that builds applications and other strategic solutions for m-commerce, encompassing retail, loyalty, payments, coupons, and in-store initiatives. Terms were not disclosed.
The acquisition comes as the holding company is restructuring its Canadian operations in Toronto and Montreal around its Village model, where it houses all operations in a given city within a single complex.
Havas said that Plastic Mobile would be integrated within Canada's Havas Village offer, which also includes Havas Worldwide, Havas Worldwide Digital, and Havas Media. However, Plastic Mobile services will be available to clients across its North American footprint, the company said.
"You'll see us in Canada start to expand into new and interesting disciplines with a fair amount of speed and scale," Andrew Benett, global CEO of Havas Worldwide and Havas Creative Group, said in an interview with The Globe and Mail in December.
Yannick Bollore, Chairman and CEO of Havas Group, commented: "I'm thrilled to welcome Plastic Mobile to the Havas Group. Plastic Mobile is the premier agency for mobile and digital needs in the Canadian market. With proven results and savvy business strategies that propel top-tier brands into the fast-paced mobile revolution, this acquisition will strengthen our digital potency and capabilities."
Havas clients in Canada include Hershey Canada, New Balance, Couche-Tard and Michelob Ultra. Plastic Mobile has worked for clients including Rogers Communications Inc., Bank of Nova Scotia and online retailer Beyond the Rack.
"As mobile continues along its explosive growth path, our agency recognized that it was the right time to join a large international group in order to continue our development and attract more Fortune 500 brands," Melody Adhami, President of Plastic Mobile, said of the acquisition. "Being part of Havas will enable us to benefit from the strategic advantages of a world leader in communications and its network of industry experts and global resources.

Lady Bucs release 2003-04 schedule
Thursday, September 18, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (September 18, 2003) - East Tennessee State University has released its women's basketball schedule for the quickly approaching 2003-04 season. The Lady Bucs will begin play on the road against some highly competitive non-conference opponents before getting into the always-grueling Southern Conference portion of the schedule. Head Coach Karen Kemp, who returns for her 10th season at the helm, has invited players from the National Women's Basketball League to participate in an exhibition game at Memorial Center on Nov. 23. From there the Lady Bucs will travel to Temple for their regular-season opener. "We picked up Temple for the first time and we think it will be good for the program, playing a school with such a basketball tradition," said Kemp. "Once again, we will be playing a challenging non-conference schedule, which we feel is important to prepare us for some tough Southern Conference opponents." ETSU will then travel to UNC Asheville on Dec. 3, before heading to Cincinnati, Ohio for the Provident Bank Xavier Invitational. The Lady Bucs will tip-off against High Point in the first game on Dec. 6 to decide who will play the winner of Xavier and Central Michigan for the tournament championship on Dec. 7. UNC Greensboro will come to Johnson City on Dec. 13 for the Southern Conference home opener. The game versus the Spartans will be played on campus in Brooks Gym, a site the Lady Bucs have not played in since Jan. 27, 2001. One of the more interesting destinations on this year's schedule is a trip to Clemson on Dec. 15, where ETSU's men's and women's squads will each take on the Tigers in a doubleheader beginning with the women at 5 p.m. Senior night at Memorial Center will be held on Feb. 9 against Western Carolina, as Kemp and company will wrap-up their regular season with four straight conference games on the road, concluding with Georgia Southern on Feb. 28. "It seems like every other year our schedule plays out where we finish with a bunch of road games," Kemp said. "Hopefully, it will force our young squad to mature very quickly before the start of the postseason." The 2004 Mountain Dew Southern Conference Women's Basketball Championship will again be held in Charleston, S.C. First round of the tournament will begin on Wednesday, Mar. 3 with the championship game being played on Saturday, Mar. 6. Seniors Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.), Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.), and Jessica Lonon (Sylvania, Ga.), will lead this year's squad, which is laden with young talent. Kemp has brought in seven newcomers to the program, which include five freshman and two transfers. Last season ETSU finished with a 9-19 record overall and were 6-12 in the SoCon.

This is an absolute disgrace. Luck is good enough, he doesn't need the refs in his back pocket. We gotta deal with this bs for the next 10+ years.

Exactly my point from my previous post! so upsetting ..REALLY UPSETING!
I'm not a cry ref person but its pretty shaky this game. How that td wasn't reviewed is beyond me and than the flag comes out after Reggie complains about pi
i was just thinking this and was just coming on to make a similar post. Sometimes I wish the replacment refs were still around. They might have not known all the calls and what not, but man it seemed like the replacement refs were more fair and objective than the real refs. It's one thing to have bad calls here and there but its annoying when games are so one sided with calls when the play that happened should not have been against that team but it happens over and over. Makes me wonder sometimes if any undercover stuff happens with some refs.
---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------
that jags Wr caught the ball with two feet in and had contrl and then went out of bounds, which should've been the fumble after he fell irrelevant and it to be a catch. Awful call and favoritism with the colts.
i dont know how they overturned that one handed catch
Apparently the Indy Colts are this years feel good NFL story with the leukemia story backdrop and a #1 rookie QB with all the hype. Just like the pats after 9/11, and the Saints after Hurricane Katrina. Surprised its actually not one of the New York teams due to the perfect storm this year, or have they done that backdrop already with Hurricane Katrina or maybe they're holding that one for next yr.

Gallery: Remistudio's Massive Floating Ark Battles Rising Tides
The Ark concept, which Remistudio designed in connection with the International Union of Architects' program "Architecture for Disaster Relief," can be built in various climates and in seismically dangerous regions because its basement is a shell structure, devoid of ledges or angles. A load-bearing system of arches and cables allows weight redistribution along the entire corpus in case of an earthquake. The building's clever design enables an optimal relationship between its volume and its outer surface, significantly saving materials and providing energy efficiency. Its prefabricated frame also allows for fast construction.
The Ark constitutes a single energy system. Its shape is convenient for installing photovoltaic cells at an optimal angle toward the sun. The cupola, in the upper part, collects warm air which is gathered in seasonal heat accumulators to provide an uninterrupted energy supply for the whole complex independently from outer environmental conditions. The heat from the surrounding environment — the outer air, water or ground — is also used.
Planting greenery is the next step in creating a bioclimatic building and the Ark is filled with it. The tall, illuminated inside space creates well-lit places to grow plants at any time of day. Enough daylight penetrates through the transparent roof to illuminate the inner rooms as well. The tiered balconies serve as social and recreational areas and the Ark has an open layout that can easily be adapted to different functions over time.
The Ark's structural solidity is provided by compression of timber arches and tension of steel cables. The framework is covered by a special foil made of ethyltetrafluoroethylene, or ETFE. It is a strong, highly transparent foil that is self-cleaning, recyclable, and more durable, cost-efficient and lighter than glass. The foil itself is affixed to the framework by special metal profiles, which serve as solar collectors for heating water and as gutters for collecting rainwater from the roof.

The only thing I can see in this project is the similarity (a coincident, or not?) to one of the Jan Głuszak work from 1963. He was a Polish artist and architect. He used "Dagarama" pseudonym. That vision has title "Morule – klimatrony, jednostki mieszkalne o zmiennych przegrodach klimatycznych" ("Morule-klimatrony, residential units with changing climatic panels"). Not only the general form is almost the same, but also the special function (to adapt to various climates) remains without any change.

It is not clear how many people this structure is supposed to support, but the amount of grass, planted areas, and half a dozen trees would be nowhere near sufficient to create a "closed-functioning cycle" for the number that it would appear to be able to accommodate.
There are also a number of contradictions, for example: talk of naturally-lit internal areas, yet plants shroud a lot of the living areas (and the photovoltaic panels, which seem to be the new invisible models in the artist's renders, would further block light); the structure is supposed to be used in cases of disaster relief, but the need for massive excavation to house the water and energy systems is not mentioned; it's also not clear how the massive pre-fabricated elements would be transported to disaster-affected areas; its stability in any water other than a calm lake looks very questionable; etc.
Nice pictures, and uses plenty of architectural cliches, but doesn't really look to provide anything like a practical design for its intended purpose. It would better serve as a concept in the luxury boutique hotels category.

The problem with projects like this is that the only people who would be able to afford to live on such a machine would be the super rich. The people that are going to be most affected by climate change are the super poor. Start addressing issues that affect the masses and you will really be able to help humanities future…designing for the rich just helps the rich.

as an intellectual exercise this is interesting but this will never get past the theoretical stage.
this idea is nothing new. there have been self contained autonomous structures around for decades that work much better than this. they're called "cruise ships".
climate change isn't going to cause massive flooding like this building is designed for. that's not the way it works. melting of the polar ice caps is causing gradual rising of sea level that happening on long term timeline. it is predicted that the sea level will rise 2 meters (6 feet) by 2100.
don't get me wrong I'm not trying to deminish the seriousness of global warming. I'm just saying that the designer really doesn't understand climate change.

"My books? Are you asking about my accountant?" Jessica Chastain quipped at the premiere of her movie Lawless. Eventually the Juilliard-trained actress stopped playing coy. "I have a huge library of plays by Chekhov, Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Shaw. They're alphabetized by author. And on the shelves with them are very dusty little knickknacks."

The million-pound bounty may have been removed from Salman Rushdie's head, but the author was moving at a good clip before we caught up with him on his way into the theater for Lawless. "You have no idea how many books I have," he said. "I have a fiction and a nonfiction section, and I alphabetize. I keep them alphabetical by the first letter but not in any order within that individual letter. That would be obsessive."

"In a bookshelf, with the spines out," answered the actress Chloë Sevigny. "I keep them in sections: American, French, photography, rock and roll. And they are not color-coordinated either." A recent addition: "Rita Ackermann by Rita Ackermann."

Not all bookshelves, by the way, are nondescript. AD ran into tastemaker Ivan Bart, senior VP and managing director of IMG Models, at the Top of the Standard in the Meatpacking District. "My partner found our Snead bookshelf online, and we drove all the way to New Hampshire to get it. This is the kind of thing that is in the Vatican and the Library of Congress. We redid it, and it's one of our most prized possessions."

"My books are totally chaotic," replied director David Cronenberg, shown with actor Robert Pattinson, at the premiere of his film Cosmopolis, which was based on a Don DeLillo novel. "I have a big collection. But now I find that I enjoy reading on a Kindle, so I can keep it a bit more organized."

"I'm very fortunate, because my father collected first editions," she said. "And I have them, and they're a great joy. The fact that my father was a man who owned nightclubs and collected first editions—to me, that's very special."

I use the books for structure."

The western has proven to be one of filmdoms most durable genres. Even when Americas love affair with the old west died out (probably due to the realization that glorifying the wild west was tantamount to glorifying state-sanctioned genocide), the western is such a pure form of story telling that its tropes and motifs were successfully transplanted to other genres. Weve had westerns in space (
), inner-city westerns (
Assault on Precinct 13
) and even horror westerns (
From Dusk Till Dawn
). The directors of
The Book of Eli
, twin brothers Allen and Albert Hughes, take the western and set it in a post-apocalyptic wasteland while applying a comic book aesthetic to the visuals. Cast two of the best actors working today, Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman, and you have the ingredient for a minor classic, right? Eh, not so much. While theres a lot to admire in
The Book of Eli
, a shakily founded script and some directorial choices that betray a lack of confidence in the concept knock Eli from potential classic status down to solid B genre territory. Not a bad territory to occupy but still disappointing considering what could have been.
The Story
Its 30 years after the last nuclear war (presumably World War III, but nobody ever directly refers to it as such). Eli (
Denzel Washington
) is a wanderer and scavenger in the post-apocalyptic world. He bears the scars of the nuclear fallout and spends his days barely eking out an existence: hunting feral cats for food, fending off hijackers and gathering supplies to barter. So really, hes living Fallout 3 rather than just playing it.
Eli arrives in a cobbled together, yet thriving, town run by Carnegie (
Gary Oldman
). Carnegies base of operations, The Orpheum, is a burnt out old theatre (see what they did there?) and it is there that Elis prowess at fending off thugs looking for a fight impresses the de facto mayor who offers him a job. Carnegie is obsessed with finding a book, a very particular book that he believes will give him the power to rule over the populace with uncontested authority. Eli declines Carnegies job offer but accepts his hospitality for an evening of warm food and a comfortable bed. Carnegie also tries to ply Eli with Solara (
Mila Kunis
) hoping that a night with her would help change his mind. Eli rejects Solara but allows her to spend the night sleeping alone on the floor to put on airs for Carnegie, who has an iron grip on Solaras mother, Claudia (
Jennifer Beals
). The next morning Solara inadvertently reveals to Carnegie that Eli is in possession of the very book Carnegie is after. Carnegie ambushes Eli as hes leaving town but, to nobodys surprise, Eli is able to escape the ambush with Solara tagging along.
The illiterate Solara is fascinated with Elis devotion to his book, which is revealed to be a copy of The Bible. Eli tells her about the history of the book; how after the apocalypse people hunted down and destroyed every copy they could find because they blamed the book for the war. Eli claims that a voice told him to head out west where he would find a safe haven for the book. On their way to this nebulous destination, Eli and Solara wind up at the home of a cannibalistic elderly couple. Tracked there by Carnegies men, a firefight ensues. Carnegie takes Solara and the book and Eli is shot and left for dead. On the way back to town, Solara escapes and steals a car to return to save Eli. The gravely injured Eli refuses to take the time to rest and heal insisting, instead, on completing his quest to get the book to safety. Although no longer in possession of his physical copy, after years of reading it every night, Eli has memorize it word for word. Meanwhile, Carnegie discovers something about Elis book that renders it completely useless to him, making all his efforts to retrieve it in vain.
The Book of Eli
is really a great title. There are so many ways it can be interpreted: it could refer to Elis personal code. Or perhaps he fancies himself a new prophet and considers his experience the basis for writing a follow up to the Book of Revelations. The fact screenwriter Gary Whitta made it literally a book (and not just any book but, for many people, THE book) is obvious and heavy handed. The Book of Eli is clearly trying to say something. What, exactly, its trying to say Im not too sure of. I really dont buy Carnegies thesis about the transformative power of The Bible and the power of faith. Instead, I choose to read Elis overarching themes as the value of knowledge for knowledges sake and the sacred nature of books in general. In that interpretation, you could replace The Bible with a cookbook and the plot of Eli would still be as valid. I suppose you could adopt a nihilistic reading, where both Eli and Carnegie are wrong and in the end its all for nothing, but I find few philosophies as pointless and worthless as nihilism.
Theres also some heavy-handed moralizing about taking the small pleasures of an affluent industrial society for granted. Im sorry, but if somebody of affluence needs to be reminded to be thankful for his or her comfortable life, they need a wake up call a bit stronger than a sci-fi action movie.
There was a concerted effort to earn the final twist and the groundwork for it is laid from minute one. However, watching it a second time, I see theres just as much that contradicts it. Going back and thinking it over you realize that the gunfight outside the Orpheum or the machete fight under the overpass is scarcely believable in this context, even by action movie standards. Its not a full on cheat, but it certainly qualifies as a reach and the ending, which shoots for transcendence, manages only to be goofy.
For all its pseudo religious nonsense and insistence on being a message movie,
The Book of Eli
works best when its dealing with the practical considerations of the apocalyptic world the Hughes Brothers have created. The best parts arent the many gun or sword fights but when Eli is harvesting cat oil or bartering for fresh batteries. These elements feel entirely thought out and thought through, unlike the muddled themes and messages.
The Book of Eli
is much more adept at creating a world than it is at populating it with fleshed out characters with convincing motivations.
While I acknowledge the talent the Hughes Brothers possess, Ive appreciated their films far more than Ive enjoyed them. They are undeniably skilled filmmakers. What they are not are masters of subtlety. Too often they use and reuse low angle shots and shots of the heroes silhouetted against the skyline. It betrays a lack of confidence in the audience, that we would make the connection that
The Book of Eli
s roots lay in the western and decided to apply a visual hammer to drive the point home. In terms of their direction of the action sequences they seem to be playing catch up with their contemporaries like Bay and others from the Bruckheimer school. The action is energetic, but brief and infrequent. There are a few shots that look plucked straight from the Bay playbook a shot through the bullet hole in the side of the farmhouse and a shot from inside a lock as its being picked. These scenes are great, but the film could have used a few more doses of this type of adrenaline throughout.
Denzel Washington has been one of my favourite actors for a long time. Put him in a movie and the audience will instantly side with him. Its probably a combination of his classic good looks and his ability to project integrity. He also has an almost unerring eye for material and the ability to pick projects. Denzel brings the same kind of quiet integrity and strength he brings to most of his roles but we dont ever learn very much about Eli as a person. I wish that hed stretched a little, given Eli a touch of darkness or madness that would have shaded him a bit, instead of playing a stock hero character he speaks softly and carries a big sword (and gun). Hes not bad, by any stretch, but surrounded by such an interesting environment and outlandish characters, hes definitely the least interesting part of the movie.
When hes in top form, nobody can menace the screen they way Gary Oldman can. Carnegie, however, really isnt that malevolent. He seems like more of a pragmatist than anything. Yes, he does want to establish a new society that he can rule over but he doesnt seem unnecessarily cruel. After roles like Agent Stansfield in
, having him play a relatively low-key role like Carnegie feels like a waste of a great actor. It doesnt help that for much of the film he looks almost as dead as he did in the opening scenes of
Bram Stokers Dracula
. Theres a consistent motif of Carnegie with his arms out stretched: a willing Christ figure to Elis reluctant messiah, but like a lot of the best concepts in the film this is largely squandered.
Although shes best known for her role as super bitch Jackie from
That 70s Show
, Mila Kunis is proving herself to be a strong supporter in ensemble roles. She gives a great performance as Solara. Denzel towers over the petite Kunis and thankfully the role doesnt try to force a romance between them and instead makes it more surrogate protector or father figure. Most of Elis character development is delivered through his relationship to Solara so Kunis is essentially burdened with the development of two characters, and she manages to pull it off. The final shot of the film sets up a sequel starring Solara in the Eli role; thats a prospect that I actually look forward to.
Image Quality
The video on a movie so stylized as
The Book of Eli
is tough to evaluate: on one hand its loaded with crushed blacks and blown out contrast. On the other hand thats entirely intentional. In those terms,
The Book of Eli
faithfully represents the directors vision for the look of the film. That still doesnt mean I have to agree with those choices or like how the film looks. I usually like the gritty, de-saturated look but its taken too far to the extreme here. A little goes a long way. Sometimes the clouds have weird green or pink blotches that smear into the sky behind. Detail is pretty good in the environments; asphalt and sand show a lot of texture, as do the boards and bricks of bombed out buildings. Dust plumes are well rendered. A lot of the time characters appear in silhouette even when theyre not lit from behind. As the move nears its conclusion colour starts to seep back into the palette but the video still retains its overly contrasty look.
The 5.1 English DTS-HD Master Audio track is as good as can be expected from a fairly large budget Hollywood movie. The quiet scenes are filled with appropriate sound effects and the score is effectively realized. Dialogue is mostly delivered in hushed tones or shouts, but both ends of the spectrum are represented well; dialogue is never hard to discern and well mixed so that you dont have to adjust the volume during the film. When Eli gets into the gunfights, however, is when the audio really shines. The sub rumbles with every shot from Elis pistol as bullets ricochet in every direction. Some might criticize the audios lack of subtlety, but its perfectly appropriate to a larger than life story like Elis.
Supplemental Material
Maximum Movie Mode is similar to Warners In Movie Experience. Supplemental material appears in a pop-up window, which can occasionally be expanded to a two to three minute video clip by pressing enter on the Blu-ray remote. Sometimes its the directors talking about their vision for the look of the film, deconstructing the special effects or presenting pop up storyboards for direct comparison. Im not totally sold on watching a movie this way; I much prefer to watch the feature and then experience the supplements separately. For the people who like the interactivity of a feature like this, Warner has done a bang up job of making the interface intuitive and easy to use. My only complaint is the constant popping as the audio switches from the Dolby Digital of the supplements to DTS-HD of the feature.
All of the larger vignettes from Maximum Movie Mode are accessible via the Focus Points option on the main menu.
A Lost Tale: Billy (5:02) is billed as an animated short detailing Carnegies back-story. Thats a bit misleading as its not fully animated, but done in the style of a flash cartoon, like the Watchmen or Marvel motion comics. The short itself explains what doesnt need explanation and does a pretty poor job of it, at that. Unless youre a fan of clichéd and obvious character motivations, it is not a terribly interesting watch.
In Starting Over (13:03) the directors, writer, actors and even professors of religion, political science and social work discuss the implications of the films post apocalyptic scenario. A neat idea, though I dont know what qualifies the people behind the film as experts in the field and the true experts speak in generalities. It would have been better to have the experts speak directly about aspects of the movie.
Elis Journey (17:54) is really just more of the same kind of thing we saw in Maximum Movie mode: discussions of storyboards, pre viz work, production design and visual concepts. Not much to say about this. If you watched the feature in Maximum Movie Mode then theres nothing here youre not already privy to.
Deleted/Alternate Scenes (1:53) is mostly a collection of throwaway shots. The best is an extended take of Elis first fight with Carnegies thugs.
The Book of Eli Soundtrack (4:59) is a discussion between Allen Hughes and composer Atticus Ross. The score for
is one of its strongest assets, but theres not much deep discussion of the work behind the score. Hughes hijacks the conversation while Ross sits there saying almost nothing.
Final Thoughts
The Book of Eli
is pretty much the epitome of an early in the year studio B-movie. Its slick and good looking with strong performances but heavy-handed storytelling weighs it down and prevents it from transcending its genre roots. Its a solid nights entertainment but is not really strong enough to inspire either rabid devotion nor rabid dislike. It works best when its working as a pulpy sci-fi action western. The Hughes Brothers conjure up a vision of a post apocalyptic landscape that puts the prologue of
Terminator 2
or the entirety of
The Road Warrior
to shame, at least from the perspective of pure spectacle, though it doesnt even approach either of those standard bearers in any other way. I have a tough time swallowing the message even if I begrudgingly admire how earnestly its delivered and the end of the film is somewhat refreshingly free of cynicism. A post-apocalyptic movie that ends on a note of optimism? Thats got to be a greater miracle than any contained in
s mystical tome.

I quite liked it.Sharply lensed,well acted ,some good action.As to the finale,I rolled with it.He was a man of faith.Besides,not to be spoilery but,looking at it solely as an action film,it's not an unfamiliar idea either in the martial arts or even the western genre.It's unexpected but certainly not unprecedented.

Ana reached the second round of the Australian Open with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over world No.93 Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands. The 14th seed triumphed after 92 minutes to set up a meeting with Germany's Annika Beck.
Ana took an early lead in what proved to be a scappy match, packed with no fewer than 14 breaks of serve; there were just six holds of service. It was a somewhat nervous beginning to the tournament by Ana, but her class proved to be decisive.
In the first set Ana saved an early break point before building a 4-1 lead. She clinched the opening set when Bertens fired a double fault.
The 22-year-old Dutchwoman appeared to suffer from heat stress mid-way through the match, but she steadied herself and led 4-3 with a break.
It was at this moment that Ana found some of her best form, when it really mattered, and she won the final three games of the match.
"It was not a great match. I mean, it was a little bit obvious," said Ana.
"We had a lot of breaks, a lot of shaky points. I really felt I struggled with my first few steps towards the ball today.
"But, it's something to improve on to the next match, to get the level...first round is never easy, especially playing an opponent I haven't faced before. I didn't know much about her.
"I'm just thrilled to be through and move on to the next round."
