Possible Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Josh asked Doyle where he was taking him and Doyle explained to Josh what their plan is and how they are going to get him back after the mission is complete. Doyle placed a tracking device in Josh’s arm so they can track him. Jack was placed into temporary custody so they could complete their objective without his interference. Jack called Chloe to convince her that his father is going to have a better plan than the one CTU is using and asked Chloe to talk with Karen. Karen talked with Jack and he told her that the Vice President needs to change his plans, but Karen didn’t have the authority to do anything. Karen called Bill to get his advice on the situation even though he is upset with her for firing him. Karen told Bill that he needs to do something that will stop the exchange from happening. Doyle and Josh landed and Doyle went to check out the area before bringing Josh out of the chopper. Philip called Doyle to make CTU turn off the satellite feed and send away the chopper before the conversation continued. Philip asked to talk with Josh and told him that he needs to take him to China to give him what he needs.

Doyle asked Chloe how to verify if the chip was real and Chloe explained to him the process. Karen asked Nadia the status of the the mission and also to be able to see the deployment grid of Jack. Marylin was flipping out wanting to talk with Josh and Nadia had her escorted to holding. Jack was being taken to district when they were run off the road by Bill. Bill told the agent to release Jack to him and he didn’t comply. Jack knocked out both agents and Bill helped him escape.

Stewart, Milo’s brother, showed up at CTU to claim his body. Karen lost the connection she had with CTU’s network and called Bill to tell him that she has been spotted and then two men showed up to arrest Karen. Nadia went to meet Stewart and explained to him that he died protecting her when Chloe called Nadia to tell her that Jack escaped. Josh told Doyle that his grandfather was crazy and to let him go, but Doyle told him that his country needs him to do this. Nadia told Doyle that Jack was on his way to get Josh and stop the mission.

VP Daniels went to see Karen who was in holding to find out why she went behind his back. Karen told Daniels why she did what she did and Daniels told her that Bill and her will go down hard for what she did and that the Russians will attack a US base. Philip called Doyle to have him take Josh down to the water where a speedboat was coming ashore. The men came closer to Doyle and he asked to verify the chip before he would release Josh. As Doyle was about to verify the chip, the component exploded and they took Josh. Jack got there right as the they took Josh away. They disabled the tracker that they put in Josh and the satellite was not in place so they could track the boat.

Tom updated VP Daniels on the situation and admitted that he was wrong about everything that he did that day and then Daniels asked for real time updates on CTU’s progress. Jack asked to get the names of every oil rig in the area since his father owned many rigs up and down the coast. Philip told Cheng that he will get the chip as soon as Josh is delivered. Chloe was looking for a match but was having trouble staying awake because she was so tired and as she was talking with Morris she collapsed.


Josh was brought to the rig where Philip was located and Cheng told Philip that the submarine was on schedule. The doctor told Morris that Chloe was fine and just overtired and dehydrated. Chloe told Morris to find Philip and that she will be fine. Nadia told Morris that Jack was right about his father with regards to the oil rigs. CTU figured out which rig Philip at and that Nadia was going to contact Tom with the information. One of the Vice President’s men told him that an air attack would be the best option and to take out everyone on it. Nadia told Jack that the navy is going to bomb the platform and Jack is going to go after his father and hope that he can get Josh off before he is killed. Bill decided to go with Jack in the chopper that Jack took.

The Russian President called Daniels to get an update and after discussing the mission with him, the Russian President agreed to wait until after the strike. Nadia told Jack that he has less than 20 minutes before the strike happens, but she agreed to give him help to retrieve the chip. Cheng told Philip that there is a helicopter approaching and Cheng gave the chip to Philip to hold onto. Jack had Bill land the chopper on the pad after he took out the men. Jack went to go look for Josh to make sure he wasn’t on the platform.

Philip started to take Josh off the rig but he fought back and Philip pushed him against the wall. The navy was about 4 minutes away from the rig. Josh took a wrench and knocked his grandfather down and grabbed his gun. Josh told Philip that he wasn’t going with him and then shot him in the chest. Jack showed up and told Josh to lower his gun and then Jack took the gun away. Jack told Philip that he is going to pay for what he did and took off towards the chopper. The Vice President authorized the strike to take place and they fired the missiles. They picked up Jack just as the missiles hit its target and the chopper got away from the area. The Russian President verified that the target was destroyed and that he will order the evacuation of his troops. Jack fell off the chopper into the water right by the coast and swam onto the beach because he wasn’t ready to go back to CTU yet.

Tom told Daniels that Karen and Bill should be able to resign with their dignity intact and Tom also gave the VP the recording. Morris visited with Chloe and updated her on everything that happened. Chloe also told Morris that the reason that she collapsed was because she was pregnant. Tom told Karen that she was free to go but they were both expected to resign from their posts. Bill brought Josh back to CTU along with Cheng where he was to be held in custody. Jack went to Secretary of Defense Heller’s house to deal with the the earlier situation between the two. Jack yelled at him as to why he didn’t try to get him out of China. Jack told Heller that the only reason that he is upset with him is because Audrey went to China to find Jack. Jack also told him that he is going to disappear with Audrey and Heller told him that he doesn’t want Audrey to pay like his wife did. (killed Season 1) Heller brought Jack to see Audrey and he told her that the only way to protect her is to let her go. Jack kissed her goodbye and said that he will always love her. He walked out of the house and stood on the edge of the cliff looking out at the water.

FlickrSLiDR Embeds Flickr Sets On Site

Posted at: 11:46 pm by Timothy Haroutunian
Categories: Tech and Web

Created by Paul Stamatiou, FlickrSlidr is a page that allows you to take a flickr set or user and create a slideshow that you can display on a website or blog using embed code. You can also add tags into mix so that you can narrow down the search depending on what tags you have in on the flickr photo.

This is a cool concept, but I haven’t had a use for it yet. Once I find one, I will use it and review the product more, but for now it looks great.

Plymouth State University Undergraduate Commencement 2007

Posted at: 11:57 pm by Timothy Haroutunian
Categories: Rants and Randomness

Grad2007Today was the 136th Undergraduate Commencement ceremony for Plymouth State University and I am proud to say that I am a Plymouth State Alum. Unfortunately the weather did not permit us to have the ceremony outside on the football field and we were sent to the backup rain location.

I was chosen by the students of the Computer Science and Technology Department to carry the Gonfalone at graduation. Since graduation was held inside, the Gonfalone carriers were told that we were not going to use them because they were made of velvet.

Plymouth State has given me so much and I will miss all of the friends and “family” that I have created over the past few years. I am excited about starting my career as a web developer hopefully in the Boston area. Congratulations Class of 2007!

Possible Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Morris covered up Milo’s head with a blanket and then they took Josh into another room. Marilyn was very upset and Jack tried to calm her down. They took Josh through the tunnels away from CTU. They took everyone from CTU and put them into two groups and Jack sent Marilyn to the front of the group. Jack started to talk with Nadia to figure out how to get out of the situation. Jack punched out one of the guys who was holding them and then took a gun and killed another. Nadia and Morris took out the others, but as the final man was about to take out Nadia, Doyle came in and killed him. Jack told Nadia that he can find the men and Josh but he needs to go after them. Nadia agreed but put Doyle in charge. Jack took Doyle and a team into the tunnels to follow the men who took Josh.

Cheng called Philip to inform him that he had the boy and Philip told Cheng that he wanted to talk to Josh. Philip told Josh that he wants to move him to China to get him away from everything in the US. Cheng took Josh in a car and Jack found them and started shooting. He was able to shoot the driver and stop the car, but they got out and took Josh by foot. Jack followed Cheng to the roof killing his men in the process. Josh was hanging from a chain and Jack choose to save Josh rather than taking Cheng out. Josh told Jack that he talked with his grandfather and about his plan. Jack told Doyle that he was going to figure out why his father is still involved.

Karen came in to talk with Vice President Daniels and asked where Tom was and Daniels told Karen about his operation that he is involved with. Daniels told Karen that he is sorry about keeping her in the dark about Lisa Miller and that he was romantically involved. Tom out on his mission had to listen while Lisa and the Russian had their time together and he was happy when they were done. Lisa went into the other room and the Russian went towards her PDA to get the intelligence to send to his government. As he was about to upload the information, he put the PDA away and poured a glass of wine for them to enjoy. The Russian was able to sense that she was lying, grabbed her and started to strangle her. Tom took the Russian (Bishop) into the other room and explained to him the situation and what he is going to do. Cheng called Philip and told him that he lost Josh to CTU and Jack, but Philip didn’t care and told Cheng that the deal is over. Cheng said that he still has the chip and the consequences would be serious but Philip turned the conversation around stating there would be problems for him if Cheng tries to threaten him again.

Nadia asked Chloe if they found the chip and Chloe said she will look. A man from division arrived and stated he was going to be investigating CTU since they lost many key personal. Morris told Nadia that she was not responsible for what happened during the attack even though she blames herself because she hesitated. Morris told her that Milo would want her to stay strong and in charge. Tom called VP Daniels to tell him that he needs to call the Russian President and explain about the chip. Tom also told him about Lisa and that she was injured during the attack. Jack called CTU to have them connect him with Marilyn to explain why they took Josh and how his father was involved. Josh told his mother that Jack saved him and that he loves her. Daniels started talking with the Russian President and told him that the circuit was destroyed. The President informed the VP that he had his agent under surveillance and he knows about the attack on his apartment and the fake information he asked the agent to send. The president also told Daniels that if he doesn’t recover or destroy the chip in 2 hours, they will attack military camps run by the US. Daniels told Karen that the US is going to war over a piece of circuitry.

Daniels told the cabinet about his conversation with the Russian President and Tom walked in with a call from Philip Bauer. Philip told VP Daniels that he wants Josh and a safe passage to a country of his choosing. He also proved that he has the circuit and is willing to give the circuit back if he gets what he wants. Karen, Tom and Daniels talked about scenarios with the situation and Daniels asked to speak with CTU. Jack was about to take Josh back to CTU when he got a phone call to distract him while Doyle took Josh onto the helicopter as agents held him down.

Lugo Walks The Sox Off To Victory On Mother’s Day

Posted at: 11:54 pm by Timothy Haroutunian
Categories: Sports and Leisure

Julio Lugo
First of all, Josh Beckett who has been amazing so far this year and was going for his 8th win was unable to finish the game and was taken out after the 4th inning due to an injury on his hand and hopefully he will be better for his next start. What a game the Red Sox played today. Down 5-0 in the bottom of the 9th, the Sox came back to win it 6-5.

With one out in the 9th inning, Coco Crisp got up to bat and popped a fly ball up to the catcher and as it came down, he dropped it becoming the downfall of the Orioles. The removed the pitcher and the new rubber man gave up a double by Ortiz bringing in one run. Then Willy Mo Pena singled putting runners on the corners for JD Drew and Kevin Youkilis who both walked making the score 5-2. The Captain Jason Varitek doubled and bringing around 2 runs which brought the game within 1 run. They loaded the bases on an IBB to Eric Hinske and then caused Alex Cora to ground into a force out at the plate. Two outs with runners on second and third down 5-4, Julio Lugo stepped up to the plate. He grounds the ball to the first baseman and with the speed of Lugo, the pitcher needed to come in and help. As Millar threw the ball to the pitcher, he missed the ball and Lugo was safe which was enough to bring Varitek and Hinske home to win the ballgame.

Today, the players wore pink armbands and swung pink bats for Mother’s Day and for the awareness of Breast Cancer and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there and I hope you have a wonderful day and especially my mother, grandmother and sister, I can’t wait to be back home in a week and spend time with all of you. I Love You!

“Internet Help Desk” Video

Posted at: 11:24 pm by Timothy Haroutunian
Categories: Tech and Web

Working for a Help Desk, I have come across very tough customers who do not understand the difference between the CPU and the monitor and anyone who has worked for tech support will understand what I mean. The following video is a great explanation of a call in the shift of tech support. While we were training new employees, the shift leaders would show this video to them as a tradition. (we would also watch Office Space and It’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake) Enjoy!
