Apple snack cake spiked with cinnamon and glazed with sticky caramel and nuts. Cubes of tart apple are speckled throughout the cake along with chopped, candied nuts and coconut flakes.
As far as cakes go this one is on the thin side. Don't be alarmed when you see what little batter it makes, you didn't do anything wrong. It will rise slightly as it bakes. It's also important to use the right size pan (8-inch tube or cake).
This is what I call a "snack cake" being perfect for company stopping by or when you want a bite of something sweet without having it hang around tempting you for days on your kitchen counter. It goes perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a hot cup of coffee or tea.
If you really want to elevate the cake into something extra special use butter toffee pecans for the nuts. They're a show-stealer with their sweet, buttery crunch. A lovely complement to the apples and caramel.
Aside from making the butter toffee pecans, which is not a requirement for a successful cake, this comes together quickly and easily. The glaze is a 3-ingredient caramel sauce that takes mere minutes to make. I love that.
There are times, like a thunderbolt from the sky, when the impulse to bake overtakes every fiber of my being. Usually at the most inconvenient times. It's then when I want something uncomplicated that will cure my itch as fast as possible and give me instant-baking-satisfaction. This was the exact right fit.
I love that.
Apple snack cake spiked with cinnamon and glazed with sticky caramel and nuts.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch fluted tube or regular cake pan.
- In a small bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate, large mixing bowl beat the sugar, oil, egg and vanilla together until well blended.
- Gradually beat the flour mixture into the sugar mixture until blended. Stir in the apple, 1/3 cup of the nuts and the coconut.
- Spread into the prepared pan and bake 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack then turn out and cool completely (or serve warm).
- In a small saucepan combine the glaze ingredients over medium heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
- Drizzle the caramel over the cake and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup nuts. Serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

Made it safe and sound to Israel! Heart of the Middle East.
Boy, was it a long flight – a bit over twelve hours to be exact. My flight to the Middle East via Central Asia was what I expected; much wind and cities whose names I have never heard of, not to mention pronounce.
El Al was super secure. I was interrogated about the purpose of my trip to Israel, what I was doing in Hong Kong, names of my friend who was getting married etc. Every passenger goes through this process so I have no complaints. The bright side is that the airline is doing there jobs and doing it well. I went through Hong Kong immigration without issues and walked towards my flight gate.
We boarded the plane, a Boeing 777, capable of flying up to 5400 miles. The diversity of the passengers was awesome! Many native Israelis returning home, a group of Vietnamese students on an exchange program with Israel, various other Asians (I'm in this group) visiting Israel. If you don't know, summer time is rainy season in Hong Kong with chances for typhoons. Unsurprisingly, the Captain came over the intercom and announced a 45 minute delay due to the weather. Yikes, I thought to myself, now I'm going to arrive late! After much agitation of all the passengers we finally took off in the light rainy Hong Kong afternoon.
When the plane reached a healthy altitude, we started to cruise. Flight attendants and their drink and food carts came out in full force – serving and pleasing passengers. El Al served two meals, breakfast and dinner. The food was alright taste-wise, but it was certified kosher by Rabbi Avtzon, whom I'm familiar with, of the Chabad of Hong Kong. I plugged in my headphones, turned the audio to traditional Israeli music, and dozed off.
Why are people clapping? Without realizing that I fell asleep towards our descent into Ben Gurion, noise of claps jolted me awake. Apparently, passengers clap when a flight lands in Israel safely. So the Israeli expectation is that it will NOT land safely? I may be missing something that only native Israelis are able to understand… I gathered my suitcase and bags, stepped off the plane, and into Israel.
The walkway to the airport exit was long and full of turns and shopping opportunities. (similar to Hong Kong) I love taking the horizontal escalators, they take me to where I need to go in half the time. I noticed arrivals were on the second floor when I saw departing passenger in the lower floors. It seemed like a never-ending walkway, I followed the crowd instead of reading the direction signs.
Something I wasn't prepared for was how long and tedious the immigration checkpoint was. I was lucky and was not selected randomly for additional questioning. Would like to suggest that Ben Gurion airport open all immigration windows – not just half of them. There were elders, women, and children waiting over one hour to pass immigration – and I don't think there was air conditioning…
Next step was to get in a taxi and drive into my accommodation. My driver was so friendly and helpful, we talked about some sights for Tel Aviv and my first trip to Israel. It was already 2 in the morning by this time. He turned on his GPS system, entered the address, and off we went.
In the heat of the night, Tel Aviv looks like any other modern and developed country. Wide and smooth highway system, new cars, and lights from high-rise buildings buzzing in the blackness. After what seems like eternity to a person who is still awake at 5 am (Hong Kong timezone) without any sleep, we made an exit of the eternal highway and entered suburbia. Our search for the address ended at our destination. I pulled out the brand new Shekel bills I got from the airport ATM machine and said my farewell to the driver. Lifted my suitcase and started my climb up several flights of stairs to my apartment. I sank into the comfy bed and fell asleep.
Next morning, the rays of the sun entered my room, piercing me to awake. My first full day in Israel, I thought to myself! Excited! Got ready and out I went in Tel Aviv. First order of the day, take care of my tummy and get some breakfast. I've read and heard about Israel's famous breakfast so decided to try that out at a local neighborhood cafe. An Israeli breakfast, going by what I had this morning, consists of two eggs, Israeli salad (tomatoes and cucumbers), various types of cheeses, tahini and bread. It was like a vegetarian meal as no meat was served. According to Jewish food laws, meat and dairy should never be served together. It kind of makes sense now that I think about it. That's just too much animal at one time! ;-P
In the middle of my culinary experience, a random man came in held up a piece of paper and ask for a donation from me. The "paper" that he showed me says that he is a deaf man and needs ten Shekels. I reached for my wallet, took out a ten Shekel coin and handed it over to him. It was only afterwards that I learned this man comes to the cafe all the time. The server tells me matter-of-factly, "he's always here". I had a quick chat with the server afterwards, I told him I'm from China. He didn't know where Hong Kong was, maybe I was saying it wrong. (Note to self: start learning Hebrew)
After my tummy was filled, I ventured around my Tel Aviv neighborhood. Strolled through many small mom and pop shops and boutiques and bought a straw sun hat to shield my skin from the glaring Israeli sun. Instead of the hunger I felt earlier, now I felt thirst. My body carried itself to a grocery store for replenishing. The varieties of olives, yogurt, and fruits from all colors of the rainbow distracted me from my goal of getting water. Thirst called out louder, I had to adapt and went to the water aisle.
Now, I'm planning my Israel adventure for tomorrow. 🙂
Until tomorrow!

Forget Infringement, Major Labels Should Be Worrying About Having To Pay Much Higher Royalties On Downloads
from the well,-look-at-that... dept
So, the question that Eminem (and some other artists in other lawsuits) asked was: what is iTunes? Is it a "sale" like a CD, thus entitling the artist to low royalties? Or is it a "license," like for a commercial, entitling him to 50% royalties? Reasonable arguments can be made on both sides, and since the recording industry has a habit of a quantum-like switching where it pretends that something is a sale when it wants it to be a sale, but then insists it's just a "license" when that's beneficial, it felt pretty good about its chances in the lawsuit. And while Universal Music won at the district court, the appeals court went the other way, and said that iTunes represents a license.
And, now, the Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal, meaning that this ruling lives on in the all important 9th Circuit. It's possible that some other similar cases may come out with a different ruling in a different circuit, greatly increasing the likelihood that the Supreme Court steps in, but for now, it seems that the courts are saying iTunes is a license not a sale. While more recent contracts have been written to avoid this problem, it does seem like there are a lot of legacy contracts out there (which are tied to a lot of ongoing revenue via the back catalogs for the major labels) where this could be an issue. In other words, the record labels may owe a ton of money to artists.
And they still think infringement is the biggest challenge they face?

Consortium may take over Bell Labs research facility
Keywords:lucent technologies? agere systems? nanotechnology? mems? prototyping foundry?
Lucent Technologies and Agere Systems Inc. are attempting to spin-off their nanotechnology and electron-beam lithography lab in Murray Hill, New Jersey, as an advanced prototyping foundry that would be run by a consortium of local public and private investors. New Jersey officials are working to broker a deal between five state universities and a number of local companies to set up the New Jersey Center for Nanotechnology, which would take over the facility by July 1.
It's not clear whether the deal, still in an early stage, will succeed. However, the move is a sign of Lucent's diminishing ability to maintain at least some of the basic research conducted at Bell Labs, including the e-beam work once seen as a contender for future semiconductor lithography.
Under the current proposal, Princeton, Rutgers and three other New Jersey universities would run Lucent's Silicon Fabrication Research Laboratory (SFRL), which operates a 16,400-square-foot Class 100 clean room, a 200-square-foot e-beam lithography area and a small Class 10 area. Lucent and Agere would donate an estimated $150 million in equipment for their stake in the consortium.
"It's one of the world's leading optical MEMS facilities. It can also produce a wide variety of other MEMS and nano devices. And the e-beam machine is, I believe, one of five in the world," said John V. Tesoriero, who is overseeing the consortium effort as executive director of the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology.
The lab helped design Lucent's Omega optical router, and currently employs about 50 Lucent workers. However, Lucent and Agere have indicated they will no longer have funding to keep SFRL running past this summer.
"The consortium would operate the facility as a research center and also use it on a foundry basis for other companies who need that kind of expertise for prototyping nano devices," said Tesoriero. "We are hoping we can pull this off. Of course it couldn't come at a worse time."
Money problems
Indeed, the New Jersey Commission for Science and Technology recently had its $25 million annual budget slashed to $15 million. The state of New Jersey itself is running a $3 billion deficit, he said.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology is currently drafting financial papers to incorporate the consortium. Tesoriero estimates it would cost between $6 million to $8 million per year to run the lab.
"We hope much of it would be supported by National Science Foundation research grants, and development grants from the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, and some corporate support from companies who want to be part of the consortium or use the facility," he said.
NSF is already funding many centers under the National Nanotechnology Initiative including ones at Cornell, Columbia and one being constructed in Albany, New York, as a partnership between the State University of New York and IBM Corp.
E-beam interest
The consortium idea got started last fall when Lucent began discussions with university researchers to see if they were interested in using the e-beam facility part-time. That led to talks about part-time use of the entire SFRL, which in turn evolved into discussions of spinning off the unit to a consortium.
"What is clear to me is it's a unique facility in the state and probably in the country," said Stephan Danforth, chairman of the ceramic and materials engineering department at Rutgers, who toured SFRL with a number of other university researchers a few months ago to assess the concept of a spin-off.
Most people attending that meeting were in favor of the deal, Danforth said. However, "with the current budget situation in the state, it's very poignant to be asking the question of whether the state can afford to maintain this kind of facility."
"This is all in a concept stage," said Tesoriero. "We have a couple companies saying they are interested. I am hopeful. There's a lot of things that need to fall into place, but we have some good people working on it.
"It has to happen before July 1, because of how the funding is structured and the time lines for Lucent and Agere," he added.
Throughout the 1990s, Bell Labs researchers developed a projection e-beam lithography system called Scalpel, suitable for production of ASICs and other advanced logic devices. The technology appeared to be on the cusp of commercial development when both Applied Materials Inc. and ASML, the Dutch-based lithography giant, created a joint venture called eLith that intended to take Bell Labs' Scalpel technology and make it production-worthy.
But support for eLith abruptly ended in late 2000 when semiconductor companies that had been interested in the technology turned to a similar projection e-beam approach backed by IBM Microelectronics and Nikon Corp. That technology is aimed at the 70nm technology node, which is expected to move into early production in 2004. Nikon currently is integrating IBM's projection optics module, called Prevail, with Nikon's scanner platform.

For immediate release: Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2007
Operation SAFE CHILD cards available at Chenango County Fair
NORWICH – Parents and guardians will be able to obtain Operation SAFE CHILD cards for their children this week at the Chenango County Fair.
Representatives from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services' Missing and Exploited Children Clearinghouse will be at the fair from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 10 and Saturday, Aug. 11.
Operation SAFE CHILD provides parents or legal guardians with a card that includes their child's/children vital information: date of birth, gender, height, weight, eye color, along with a photograph and fingerprint images of both index fingers.
Parents or guardians also can choose to have that vital information stored in a DCJS database; storage in the database is entirely voluntary and requires written consent of the parent or legal guardian.
If DCJS receives a missing child report, the fingerprints of that child will be included in a special search file and compared against all incoming fingerprints submitted to the agency.
Time is the greatest enemy if a child goes missing. Having up-to-datephotographs and detailed information about a child can greatly assist law enforcement officials as they respond to a child's disappearance.
The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and its Missing and Exploited Children Clearinghouse partnered with the New York State Police, New York City Police Department, New York State Sheriffs' Association and the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police to create Operation SAFE CHILD in 2005.
Since the program's inception in July 2005 through July 2007, more than 154,000 children in New York State have been fingerprinted and photographed through Operation SAFE CHILD.
DCJS partners with 38 law enforcement agencies across the state – including the Buffalo Police Department and Erie County Sheriff's Office – to offer Operation SAFE CHILD.
For more information about Operation SAFE CHILD, call 1-800-FINDKID or visit www.operationsafechild.org.
The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services is a multi-function criminal justice support agency with a variety of responsibilities, including collecting and analyzing statewide crime data; operates the DNA databank and criminal fingerprint files; administers federal and state criminal justice funds; supports criminal justice-related agencies across the state; and administers the state's Sex Offender Registry and a toll-free telephone number (1-800-262-3257) that allows anyone to research the status of an offender.

University 101
All too often, students get to college and realize that they weren't as prepared as they thought they were. Good grades in high school don't always indicate how well a student will perform academically in college.
Academic Support offers a course for incoming freshmen, entitled University 101 (SUNV 101: The Student in the University). This three hour elective course, which focuses solely on freshman success, will provide you with the tools and resources you need to make a smooth transition into college. It will address topics such as time management, study skills, career exploration, library skills, self awareness, and service learning as well as educating students about USC Upstate and our campus resources. Readings, assignments, and discussions for this course will focus on general freshman transition issues. Fun and engaging activities are also planned to provide a hands-on learning environment for students. (Please note: although almost all majors accept this course as elective credit, please check with your intended major departmental office if you have any questions.)
University 101 is an important introduction to your college experience. It will familiarize you with some of the necessary skills needed to accomplish your goal of matriculation and graduation from USC Upstate. University 101 provides both an introduction to the nature of college education and a general orientation to the functions and resources of the college. Thus, it helps first year students adjust to college, develop a better understanding of the learning process and acquire basic academic survival skills. The course provides a support group for students in the critical first year by examining common issues in a less formal atmosphere than traditional courses.
Take advantage of the opportunity to get the guidance and support you need to help make this adjustment as smooth as possible. Students who complete University 101 their first semester of their freshman year achieve higher GPA's on average than those who don't. Recent data also shows that students who complete University 101 that first semester persist into their sophomore year and maintain their academic scholarships at higher rates on average than their counterparts. Don't let this opportunity pass you by – your success is important and this course will afford you the head start you need on your path to college success!
For questions about the University 101 course or about securing a spot, please contact Susannah Waldrop, director of the Student Success Center, at (864) 503-5414.

'We are proud to partner with Digimarc to be part of this exciting technology and a new Guinness record,' states Bill Parnell, CEO and President of Datalogic ADC.
Eugene OR (PRWEB) February 06, 2014
Datalogic, a global leader in the Automatic Data Capture market, manufactures and develops bar code scanners, mobile computers and vision systems. At the 2014 National Retail Federation Convention Datalogic technology helped Digimarc (NASDAQ: DMRC) set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest time to scan and bag 50 items. With a Guinness World Record adjudicator present, the Magellan™ 9800i multi-plane imaging scanner was used to scan 50 items which were then bagged.
Timing for the record was clocked in at 48.15 seconds – bettering the previous record of 75 seconds. The record was set by Digimarc's Ed Knudson, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, and Sean Calhoon, Senior Director, Product Management, neither of whom have any professional checking or bagging experience. Adhering to the Guinness guidelines, the team switched scanning and bagging duties after 25 items, placed exactly 10 items in each bag and included the 2014 Guinness Book of World Records itself as the last item scanned. All 50 items appeared correctly on the printed receipt, stopping the clock to establish a game-changing pace of 62 items-per-minute.
Each item was marked with the Digimarc® Barcode. The Digimarc Barcode is invisibly distributed over the entire surface of the package, eliminating the need for clerks, as well as shoppers using self-checkout, to find and position the bar code toward the reader. The Magellan 9800i device is the only retail scanner currently equipped to read the Digimarc Barcode.
"We are proud to partner with Digimarc to be part of this exciting technology and a new Guinness record," states Bill Parnell, CEO and President of Datalogic ADC.

Dave Grohl: Gangnam Style is one of my favorite songs of the last decade. Is it any better or worse than the Atoms For Peace record?
The new Atoms For Peace record is mostly forgettable by numbers Thom Yorke

That doesn't seem very fair
Is he asking if listening to Gangnam Style nine times in a row is better than listening to Amok? Because no.
Is he asking if Gangnam Style is better than one of the songs off Amok? Because, well, yes probably.
I heard one song of Atoms for peace and I hate the album.
Whereas, with Gangnam style my hate barometer goes up and down, depending on how popular it is.
When it first came out I loathed it, but found myself starting to warm to it a couple of weeks ago. After reading this thread, it's easily one of the worst songs that I've ever heard.
I won't be too glad if I ever hear that song again - although I withold the right to play it in a DJ set in a couple of years time. Once people have forgotten about it and it can be truly appreciated for the masterpiece that it is.
Hope this makes sense.

Si quis rogabit quid nunc discas, refer te artem non mediocrem sed utilissimam ac difficillimam discere.
'Referre' can have many meanings, I had a lot of trouble with the structure of the sentence, but eventually went with this interpretation:
"If you now understand (learn) what he will ask (for), then return with (bring back to you) a skill that is not mediocre, but useful and difficult to learn."
When I looked at the answer, i saw that I had been wrong in many many ways:
"If someone asks what you are learning now, answer that you are learning not an ordinary skill but one most useful and very difficult."
Is my interpretation definately wrong? If so what are some tips that I could have used to steer away from the translation I ended up with and get closer to the correct translation?
Si custodiae duriores fortioresque ad casam tuam contendissent, heu, numquam tanta scelera suscepisses et hi omnes non occidissent.
In this sentence, there are 2 words that can have many meanings, 'custodius' and 'suscipere'. I opted for the following translation:
"If the harsher and stronger prisoners had hastened to your house, alas, you never would have been a victim of (recieved) such great crimes and all these men (prisoners) would not have fallen (i.e. you would not have been able to defeat any of them)."
When I saw the answer, it turned out that 'custodius' meant guard in this context and not prisoner, and 'suscipere' meant to undertake rather than to recieve, furthermore, 'hi omnes' refered to other men, not the custodiae that had already been mentioned:
"If harsher and stronger guards had hastened to your house, alas, you never would have undertaken such great crimes and all these men would not have died."
Again, is my interpretation definately wrong? If so are there any tips I could have used to get to the correct translation?

One of the stated missions of OACDL is to serve as a public policy resource for the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government, seeking to promote the formulation of sound criminal justice law-making and responsible law enforcement. To that end, OACDL is committed to an active role in pending criminal justice legislation and rules governing practice and procedure in the courts of Ohio.
Providing an independent, expert resource to Ohio criminal justice policy-makers and journalists covering criminal justice issues is an important OACDL function. Requests for information and advice on pending policy issues will receive a prompt and thorough response.
November, 2018:
The Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (OACDL) would like to bring two important legislative bills to the attention of our members, the legal community and the citizens of Ohio. Both bills are proceeding to hearing this week in the Ohio legislature. These bills are Senate Bill 159 and House Bill 555. The summaries and links to the full text of these bills are below.
SB 159: SEALING RECORDS AFTER PARDON (WILLIAMS S) To permit a person to apply for the sealing of the official records pertaining to a case in which the person was convicted of an offense for which the person is granted a pardon.
Summary: The bill allows any person who is granted, by the governor, an absolute and entire pardon; a partial pardon; or a pardon upon conditions precedent or subsequent may apply to the court for an order to seal the person's official records in the case in which the person was convicted of the offense for which any of those types of pardon is granted.
SB 159 Full Text:
HB 555: RETROACTIVE PENALTY REDUCTION (WEST T, SYKES E) To provide that a reduction of a penalty, forfeiture, or punishment for an offense applies with respect to an offender who committed that offense on or after the bill's effective date or, if the offense is not an offense of violence, prior to that date and was sentenced for the offense under the law in effect prior to the reduction.
Summary: The bill allows for a defendant to file a motion with the court asking for a reduction in "penalty, forfeiture, or punishment." The bill is retroactive other than offenses of violence. A defendant can only ask for a reduction for an offense of violence if the defendant was sentenced after the bill's effective date. The reduction can be a shortening of the sentence, a reduction in the degree of the felony or misdemeanor conviction, or any change that shortens or makes a less stringent the penalty. The bill requires the AG to review all bills to determine if they include a reduction in a penalty, forfeiture, or punishment for an offense. If the AG does determine a bill will implement a reduction, the AG must send a notice to DRC alerting them to the reduction.
HB 555 Full Text:
The OACDL offers its support to these bills as SB 159 offers a practical common sense solution to an ambiguous legal situation and HB 555 codifies and clarifies potential confusion involving sentencing issues.
FAIR TRIAL: Greater disclosure of pretrial evidence assures fairer trials and fewer false convictions.
COURT EFFICIENCY: Delays in pretrial disclosure of evidence is a major financial cost factor resulting from delays in the resolution of criminal cases.
NON-MANDATORY SENTENCES: Justice requires that judges be permitted to exercise discretion in determining what punishment fits the crime.
DNA EVIDENCE PRESERVATION: Standards should exist providing for the preservation of all evidence suitable for DNA testing.
RECORDED INTERROGATIONS: All custodial interrogations should be subject to mandatory videotape or audio recording.
RELIABLE LINE-UP IDENTIFICATIONS: Police must utilize procedures which assure reliable line-up and photo identifications of suspects.

Robert Sheehan: Boy in the hoody
Character, actor: Robert Sheehan as Darren in Love/Hate
He has retired the blue top he wore in 'Love/Hate'. He's coming home for the Iftas tonight. And he's still in bed
About 10 minutes into this interview, Robert Sheehan reveals that he has just woken up and is lying in bed in his Camden flat. (It's a phone interview. I like to think I would have noticed otherwise). "Sorry, mate," says the star of Love/Hate with a yawn. "I'm in interview mode but I'm also in bed mode, and the two sides are battling each other."
This doesn't mean he's not engaging. It's early in the morning, but he is funny, thoughtful and charming. As we talk he yawns a little but laughs a lot. He's passionate about his career while being fuzzy about how he got one. "I've been largely undecided about everything for most of my life," he says. "I can barely commit to a phone bill . . . Somewhere along the line it has become my career due to continuing work."
It all started when he responded to an open audition at the age of 12 and landed a part in Aisling Walsh's Song for a Raggy Boy, a film set in a brutal reformatory school. "Me and about 10 other lads all went down to Cork for seven weeks and had a magical summer," he says. "Our great time didn't reflect the abysmal mood of the film."
Afterwards, he wasn't sure whether acting was a realistic ambition and went to Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology to study film and television. "While the acting stuff was incredibly fun and fulfilling, the two sides of my brain were battling, one going 'You can't make a living from acting' and the other going 'It's great fun, carry on and see what happens.' I was an absentee student. I spent months making a film called Summer of the Flying Saucer. Thankfully I was kicked off the course – I failed terrifically – and my parents didn't say, 'Don't you think you should do a real job now and become a real person and start making money?' They didn't put that pressure on me. So I ended up sitting on my arse in Galway for a year."
Sheehan spent that year playing World of Warcraft and incongruously booking gigs for stand-up comics around the country. "[At one gig] all the comedians showed up and I wasn't there. I was doing a short film in Dublin. My brother went with a few mates, and all the comedians were going up to him saying, 'We need to know who's going on first. What's the running order? What's happening? Robert should really be here.' . . . I did a year of nothing much and came to the end of it, felt wildly restless and wanted to do stuff. Lesson learned."
He moved to Dublin and landed roles in quick succession in the feature film Cherry Bomb, the Channel 4 drama Red Riding and the Nicholas Cage vehicle Season of the Witch. This was followed by a two-year stint on the hilarious and hugely popular Channel 4 drama Misfits, in which he played Nathan, a smart-arsed, orange-jumpsuited young offender with superpowers.
"I connected quite quickly and intensely with that part," he says. "I think as the series went on, the writers got our voices in their heads. They can write the cadence of your sentences a lot easier when they've got your whiny Irish voice in their ear. And there was that intense family feeling on set. We were shooting in Thamesmead, in southeast London, this very odd-looking estate. We'd get really dirty looks from the locals, because they saw us walking around in orange jumpsuits and thought we were shooting a documentary about young offenders and that we were sullying the area's not-so-great name."
About that time, he began filming the first series of the RTÉ gangland drama Love/Hate, in which he played the soulful, doomed assassin, Darren. Love/Hate was not an instant success, with some viewers questioning its credibility. "I could understand that," he says with a laugh. "We were young, fresh-faced lads in what looked like trendy clothes. We did look a bit like a boy band. But I think the show really graduated into its full expression in the second series and probably also got given the free rein it deserved. There were 500 things happening [in every] episode, and it was incredibly gripping to watch."
This reached a bit of a tipping point after Darren's death, at the end of the third series. "In Portlaoise [his home town] over Christmas there was a lot of 'I thought you were dead!' People were very emotionally invested in that third series. They were coming up to me with that emotion, discussing storylines: 'I can't believe you got killed.' But I think it was a reflection of how gripped people were by the show. Which is fantastic. It's what everyone wants when you make something like that."
Sheehan is getting used to unsolicited chats with strangers. "In London it's more about Misfits," he says. "If you see a gaggle of teenagers walking towards you, you tend not to make eye contact, because you know they're going to recognise you. You learn to adapt: 99.999 per cent of people aren't looking to be harmful or unpleasant; they just want something, a photograph or an autograph. They want evidence that they've been in proximity to that guy they like in that TV show they like."
He retired Nathan's orange jumpsuit after two series of Misfits and Darren's blue hoody after three of Love/Hate. He's restless, he says, and doesn't want to be typecast. After Misfits he got a lot of scripts for quirky, Nathanesque characters. "There are actors who do various different shades of a similar character, which is fine. But I prefer the Cillian Murphy school of doing something that takes you so far outside yourself that it's an incredible challenge and adventure."
He recently finished filming The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, an adaption of the first of a series of bestselling fantasy novels by Cassandra Clare. "On the first day I was doing a scene with Lily Collins [Phil Collins's daughter]. The whole street was cordoned off, and they had hundreds of extras and hundreds of crew. It was just a gigantic operation, moving incredibly fast. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was huge, logistically, and incredibly impressive. It was terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time."
This year he's due to star in a film about Tourette's syndrome called The Road Within and in David Blair's supernatural film The Messenger (he worked with Blair on an acclaimed episode of Accused). "It's about a guy who can speak to the dead. It's not horror, like The Sixth Sense. It's more a guy that's pissed off because he has these dead people badgering him."
Tonight he will be in Dublin for the Iftas, at which he has been nominated in the best-actor category for Love/Hate. "It's nice. It's a reunion of the Love/Hate gang, which will be lovely. And it's also acting as a family reunion, because I've got about 10 of my family into the aftershow bash. There'll be serious Sheehans around the place. You won't be able to move for Sheehans." And the blue hoody? "The manky blue hoody I wore for the whole series? Funnily enough, my local theatre wants to get it and frame it and put it on the wall. I'll get it for them."
He laughs, then yawns, then laughs again.

LEBANON, Ill. – Seeking to get back into the win column, the King University men's volleyball team opened play at the McKendree Crossover Classic with a sweep of the homestanding Bearcats.
The Tornado (8-12) were led to their first victory in six matches behind a dominant offensive performance. Eddie Moushikhian paced King with 13 kills. Nick Serowski and Kiel Bell joined Moushikhian in double figures with 11 and 10 kills, respectively, giving the Tornado three players with at least 10 kills for the third time this season. King had 44 terminations and hit .352 for the match, its second-highest hitting percentage of the season.
Bell recorded his first career double-double with 10 digs to go along with his 10 kills. Jeff Bosslet also turned in a double-double, notching match highs with 38 assists and 11 digs. Bosslet rounded out his stellar day with a match-high two aces and tied for the match lead in blocks, including two solo stuffs, to lead a King attack that had 7.0 team blocks.
A heads-up play by Bosslet late in the first set turned the match in King's favor. The Tornado used a 6-1 run early in the set to take a 12-8 lead and force a McKendree (7-17) timeout. But the Bearcats responded with a 7-3 run and took a 16-15 lead moments later. The teams traded points and, with the score deadlocked at 19, a McKendree attack ricocheted off of Moushikhian and appeared destined to fall out of reach of any Tornado players. But Bosslet alertly kicked the ball up to keep it alive, and King sent it over the net and forced a Bearcats' attack error moments later. The play sparked a 6-0 run by the Tornado, with five points being scored on McKendree errors, to give King the 25-19 victory in the first set.
In a match that featured 28 ties and 12 lead changes, the second set was also tight for much of the early going. The Tornado held a slim 13-12 lead after a kill by McKendree's Dustin Bornstein, who led the Bearcats with 11 terminations on the afternoon. Mason Casner slammed home a pass from Bosslet to spark a 5-1 King run that left the Tornado with an 18-13 lead, however, and the Bearcats were never able to pull within three points during the rest of the set. King closed the set on a service ace from Nick Serowski, one of four Tornado aces in the match, to seal a second 25-19 win.
Continuing the theme of the first two sets, a Bornstein kill pulled McKendree within a point of the Tornado at 19-18. But Serowski's two kills stretched the King lead to three points, and Moushikhian closed the match with four kills, including on each of the last three points, to give King its first sweep since February 22.
The Tornado hit at a blistering clip for the match. Only one player who had 10 or more attempts for the match hit below the .300 mark, and Serowski led the way by hitting .476 on 21 attempts. McKendree's Bornstein hit .320 on 25 attempts, but the Bearcats were held to just .184 as a team, with 35 kills and 17 errors in their 98 attempts.
King will return to action with a pair of games on Saturday at the McKendree Crossover Classic. The Tornado will face Quincy University at noon, a team that defeated King 3-1 on January 18 in Bristol, before taking on Lindenwood (Mo.) University at 3:00 p.m.
