• Lasts for 14 hours of active use on a single charge
• Working prototypes finished, ready for mass production now
• Will it work with the OUYA - Yes, it should work with the OUYA.
• Built to last - the price reflects the quality - it's an absolutely solid, ready for the road design.
• Distributors - buy a multipack and have excellent Christmas sales.
• If the project is a success we will document the ENTIRE production process on film - with regular video updates and visits to factories - see how we bring a product to life - ordering parts, negotiations, product assembly - everything - so if you have always wondered how it's done, or fancy making something yourself in the future, you will see how we do it.
High res press renders/photos here: http://icontrolpad.com/icp2.zip
Between 2009 and 2011 we developed, prototyped and brought to market the iControlPad; a unique controller which connected to phones to play games.
Now we want to go one better; a programmable, open-source, Bluetooth, super-compact controller with a keyboard that you can use on almost any tech device.
The iControlPad2 is not tied to phones or tablets. It is designed to be used with anything from your Raspberry Pi, Dev-board or USB Stick computer, to Robots, hobby projects, PC, Mac, bare PCBs/Motherboards, set-top boxes and anything else with Bluetooth.
If you do use it with your phone, it can attach via a swivel-holder for comfort, and is easily stowed when you take calls - as the battery lasts for 12-14 hours it's a great portable controller.
And it's open source. So if it does not do what you want, you add your own commands/protocols, or download ones made by other users.
Emulation: With the iControlPad2 you can enjoy proper computer emulation on your phone or tablet. Imagine Amiga/C64/PC/ZX Spectrum/Atari/Amstrad all with complete Keyboard, Mouse and Joystick emulation on one small controller; not to mention amazing support for almost any console emulator.
Unrivalled control set: A full QWERTY keyboard, digital D-Pad, 2 analogue nubs, 4 face buttons, Start, Select and 2 shoulder buttons. Everything you need in a compact device - it's the same size as an iPhone4.
No need for App support: The iControlPad2 will work with almost any app, whether it supports it or not. Thanks to new overlay software, you can map the iControlPad2 controls and keys to screen presses in iOS or Android. Just map your favorite app and start playing; you will be amazed at the advantage real controls give you. See the video for a demonstration.
Flip around phone holder: Using the iControlPad2 on a phone and need to take a call or quickly go back to phone mode? No problem. The new holder allows you to flip the iControlPad2 behind the phone within a second. See the video for an example. Using a (phone safe) magnetic clip mechanism, similar to ones found on phone cases, covers and wallets, means it's simple and sturdy - and very unlikely to ever fail.
Any Hardware: You no longer need to worry about having the controls you need on your next device, just upgrade your hardware and keep using the iControlPad2 for playing games, using emulators and using apps.
Flashable/Upgradeable Open Source firmware: Even if a new device comes along which the iControlPad2 does not support you don't have to worry. Support can be added and you can just update the firmware from a Mac or PC - and since it's open you can add your own commands and support too. Oh, and want to hack the PCB? There will be a guide for that too.
Productivity: Use your tablet as a PC, use remote desktop software easily and properly, type on a real keyboard that's easy to carry and simple to use in places where a full sized keyboard isn't practical; such as a train, bus or plane.
Strong, Robust portable design: The iControlPad2 is built to last, it may be a little more expensive than an average controller. But this represents not only the ability to program it, but also the quality of materials; a mix of metal and plastic, which make it ready for the road - or even a war zone!
Ready to go to market Now: The iControlPad2 isn't dreamland, it's a real working prototype which builds on the successful iControlPad technology. If we're funded, we're ready to start mass producing in time for Christmas. And, where possible, we always use local companies in Europe and the USA for all production (The iCP1 was made entirely in Europe).
Your input on the... input: As you can see the keyboard layout isn't decided yet - this is a final stencil which is applied to the keys in mass production. We're welcoming input on the layout and any special keys which might be of benefit to such a controller.
Documenting the whole process in detail:
You can get involved via our website and forum, and of course we will update this page as the project progresses.

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – Combining for eight extra base hits, four of which were round trippers, Manchester University and Indiana Tech lit up the scoreboard at Gratz Field Tuesday, April 29.
Both starting pitchers kept the opposing offenses off-balance early. MU freshman Cory Ferguson (Fort Wayne, Ind.) limited the Warriors to a run on three hits while walking just one in two innings of work, while ITC starter Aaron Carroll wasn't touched for a run until the third.
Once the runs started, the floodgates opened. MU (23-13) battled back from 2-0 and 4-2 deficits, leading as late as the fourth frame (6-5). However, Indiana Tech's offense, aided by seven walks and seven hit batsmen, broke open the intrastate clash with a pair of five-run frames in the fifth and sixth en route to a 14-8 win. The game concluded after six due to inclement weather.
Junior second baseman Logan Hug (Indianapolis, Ind.) guided the Spartans with three hits, three runs scored, three RBIs and a home run. Sophomore third baseman Sean Knepper (Bremen, Ind.,) also blasted a homer, while freshman first baseman Tailur Szarenski (Bluffton, Ind.) added two RBIs. Indiana Tech (29-19-1) was led by leadoff hitter Justin Kalusa's four hits and five RBIs and a six-RBI afternoon from third baseman Romer Portes.
Manchester University, holding a two-game lead on the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference standings, closes the 2014 regular season hosting Transylvania University Friday and Saturday, May 2 and 3. Game times are 4:30 p.m. Friday and 12 p.m. Saturday.
NOTES: Hug stretched his hit streak to nine games, while senior designated player Dan Maringer (Fort Wayne, Ind.) moved his on-base string to 15 straight … Hug's hit streak has seen his batting average sky-rocket. It's up 126 points (.233 - .359) in the span due in large part to seven multiple-hit efforts.

The Greatest Gift My Father Ever Gave
The summer after my sophomore year of high school, I turned 16. It was my golden birthday, since I was born on June 16th. I had been told this was supposed to be a very special day, a birthday to remember forever. And for most of the day, it was. My best friend John bought me a cd and brought it over to my dad's house, wrapped and with card attached. That night we went out and saw a movie together after having dinner at a diner. After the movie, we sat in John's car in front of my house for a while, listening to the CD he had given me – Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks - and smoking Camel lights. It was a very good birthday, one of the best I could remember.
I waved goodbye to John and stumbled inside, the smokes burning a buzz through my bones that made me shivery and weak-stomached, and eventually found my way down to the bedroom I shared with my brother in the basement of the house my dad shared with his third wife, Cathy.
I fumbled in the dark for the telephone and hit the first speed dial. After a few rings, my father answered from upstairs.
"You home?" he asked.
"Yeah, goodnight." I replied before the line went dead.
I had forced my father to install a second phone line in the house after the night he nearly killed me. Unlike my mother, who imposed a strict 10 p.m. curfew on weeknights, my father trusted me to come home when the fun stopped. His only rule was that I wake him when I got home, otherwise he'd wake up in the middle of the night worried.
This rule meant that when I got home, I had to go into my dad's bedroom and physically wake him up. Shaking awake a Vietnam Vet with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder at one in the morning is about as safe as juggling cobras. Vietnam didn't afford many opportunities for a solid night's sleep, and as such, my father would jerk awake at the slightest noise or movement. I'd creep into his room, and lightly touch his shin, muttering, "Dad, I'm ho...," and dad would jerk awake, scream for a second and then mutter "Oh, it's you," before collapsing back onto the bed to resume his ear-splitting snoring.
I had come to accept this, in much the same way that cat owners come to accept the fact that if they die and nobody notices for a few days, their cats will probably eat them. I wasn't happy about it, but I could live with it. At least until the night I woke him smack dab in the middle of a Vietnam-flashback nightmare. He was fighting his way through wave after wave of Viet Cong when I tentatively tapped him on the shoulder. His eyes flew open as his hand darted to my throat and squeezed.
I dropped to one knee and screamed through my mangled, compressed throat, "It's just me, dad!"
After a moment of foggy confusion, his eyes cleared and focused, and he realized what he was doing. He let go in a flash and, the next morning, called the phone company. It was the scariest thing my father had ever done to me in the middle of the night. Until the night of my golden birthday.
After I called my dad to let him know I was home, I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready for bed. I had just gotten back into my bedroom, cherishing the fact that for once I had the room all to myself (as my brother was spending the night at a friend's house) and was just putting my gift from John into my walkman when I heard the floorboards creak above me, a warning that my father was headed my way. I thumbed on my bedside lamp and put away the cd player as he eased open my bedroom door and poked his head in.
"Son? You still awake?"
"Yeah, dad, what's up?"
He sat down on my brother's bed across from me and stared at the ground for a bit, while I grew more and more concerned.
"Dad. You alright?"
"Did you have a good birthday?" he asked.
"Yeah, it was fun."
"What did you do?"
"Oh, John and I just got some food and went to a movie."
Then silence. He was building to something. I just couldn't quite figure out what it...
"Son, are you gay?"
And there it was. The question he'd been waiting to ask me for years. He'd seen me fail at every sport he'd excelled at, watched me embrace the arts and put up with me crying a thousand times over a thousand minor injuries and bruised feelings. And he had decided it was time he knew the truth – even if it killed him.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you ... are you gay?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"He bought you a present, son. That's not something friends do."
"Then I'm sorry you have such horrible friends, you idiot." I didn't exactly make it a habit to speak like that to my father, but at that moment I didn't care, I was angry. So what if I was, I thought. What's the big deal? Would that really be so terrible for him? He's such a bigoted, hateful ...
My thoughts skidded to a halt as I took a good look at my father. He was sitting on my brother's bed, his hands folded in his lap. His face was calm and smooth, his eyes open and attentive, and staring straight into mine.
"It's okay. Just tell me," he said. And, I realized with amazement, I believed him when he said it was okay. My father had grown up without parents of his own, and had been raised by devout Jehovah's Witness grandparents who were no doubt responsible for any number of the ultra-conservative viewpoints and opinions he had. I had seen my father fly into an uncontrolled rage with the slightest provocation, and yet here he was asking me if I was the one thing I thought terrified him more than anything, and he was being all ... well, understanding about it. And as much as I wanted to be vindictive or sarcastic, I figured he at least deserved an honest answer.
"I'm not gay, dad."
"It's okay if you are, you know," he said. "I mean it."
And he did mean it.
"No, I like girls, dad," I said, smiling. "They just don't like me."
He laughed then, just enough. Standing up, he socked me one on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they will."
I watched him walk to the door, the Marine Corps-style high-and-tight haircut he still sported standing out in sharp black contrast to the white sleeveless undershirt he wore as a pajama top. My eyes found the U.S.M.C. crudely tattooed on his bicep – ink he gotten in some smoky Saigon back room, paid for with the money he had earned killing people for a living, and then found the scar arcing across his shoulder blade where another man had sent the bullet meant to kill him. His bad knee struggled a bit under his 300-plus pound frame.
He reached the door and half turned to me. "I love you, son," he said. It was our routine, the thing we said to each other nearly every day. And for the first time I realized how lucky I was to have a father who told me he loved me every chance he could. I had spent most of my life trying to figure my father out, looking for a middle ground where his expectations of me could mesh with the man I was actually becoming. And after 16 years I realized I still didn't know very much about him. But I could add one very important bit of knowledge to the list: He really did love me. Unconditionally.
I can't think of a better birthday gift to give a 16-year-old kid.

I've become obsessed. I have a very long list of things that I should be doing, but instead I'm crocheting. I think I've mastered the Granny square. Turns out that the reason I thought that I was doing it backwards and that my Granny squares looked funny is because I was doing them wrong! I sort of made up my own version of double crochet after not properly understanding the instructions I had read. Once I cleared that up, it was a piece of cake! Then, it was just to decide on what size hook I preferred, the square on the left is 4 rows on a 4mm hook, the one on the right (my preferred gauge) is 5 rows on a 3mm hook. Success! (I'm making these little practice squares using my Yellow Label DK weight yarn.)
Because I don't want to be a one trick pony I decided to try and crochet a circle. Following the instructions for the blanket I showed yesterday (found here) I made these little numbers.

IRVINE, Calif.- Following the sweep of Pacific, the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos travelled south to face defending national champions UC Irvine. Previously defeated in five sets at home, the Gauchos were unable to overcome UCI on the road (25-17, 25-19, 24-26, 25-20). UCSB overall drops to 9-5 overall, 8-5 MPSF.
The Gauchos were unable to sustain a lead early in the first set, down 3-8 before their first timeout. Despite the four kills by Matt Hanley and three kills by Evan Licht, UCSB could not pull out the win in the first set. UCI blocked three of the Gauchos' swings at the net while also forcing multiple errors.
The second set witnessed the Gauchos pull out to a three-point lead before being the Anteaters forced a tie. Led by Hanley, Licht, and Weston Neilson's three kills each, UCSB kept the score tight as UCI pulled ahead 17-20. The Gauchos fought to keep the score close towards the end of the set but could not prevent UCI from winning the set.
UCSB found its intensity in the beginning of the third set. Neilson set the tone for the Gauchos, slamming six kills for the team. Backing up Neilson's performance in the set was Licht's six kills. Meanwhile, Kingi and Staahl added two kills each. Defensively, UCSB responded to the Anteater net presence with four team blocks. Neilson and Jonah Seif each had a hand in two blocks while Matt Hanley, Ryan Hardy, and Jake Staahl each had an assist in one block.
Despite a strong attack from four kills by Licht and three kills by Neilson, the Gauchos were unable to pull out another set win. Overall, Evan Licht slammed 16 kills on the night while Weston Neilson hammered another 12 kills. As well, Ryan Hardy assisted in six of the Gauchos' blocks.
UCSB travels next to UC San Diego at 7 p.m. before returning home March 5 to face UCLA. The Gauchos previously lost to the Bruins in straight sets at Rob Gym.

That poor makeup artist
Ashley Judd was out promoting her memoir at Barnes & Noble in New York yesterday and, like Nicole Kidman and Uma Thurman before her (examples here and here) had more people talking about her makeup than they did her book which, I mean, she is really, really taking it to her family, specifically her mother, but is she also as candid about her own, um, mercurial moods?
Anyway, about this powder situation…
I mean obviously it's not like, oh let's make it so that it's really noticeable and everyone will see and talk about it. Obviously not. Obviously it looks one way without the light from the photography and by the time you figure that out, it's too late. So is it a specific product then? A product that should come with a warning, especially to those makeup artists who frequently work on celebrity faces?
Because the person who works on Ashley's, and Nicole and Uma too, would have been a specialist in the area. I mean, this is not some person fresh out of the beauty academy working a counter at a drug store. They usually don't call those people, as lovely as they are, in for the stars. The person who made up Ashley yesterday then, it would not have been her first time.
I googled this issue just now and apparently, initially, the ongoing problem – Eva Longoria also experienced it – was blamed on Makeup Forever's HD Powder. But Makeup Forever went on the offensive and yelled at everyone for thinking that about their product, insisting that it was not responsible for the makeup mishaps. (Dear Chris Brown, I believe this is the correct use of the word "mishap".) I took a quick glance at some of the reader comments and some actually experimented with it with similar results. Commenting on an internet blog comments section isn't exactly scientific though so I'm not sure what conclusion you can draw from that. Click here if you want more on the issue.
You'd think though that a newsletter could go out to all of these artists for what to stay away from, especially under harsh light, and especially given how often this seems to be happening.
But whatever, I've just spent way too much time on this when really, what I wanted to talk about was oh my God, can you imagine that poor makeup artist and the storm of crazy ass Ashley Judd sh-t that must have been whipped at her head when this mess came out? I get it that it must have sucked to be raised in a tragically dysfunctional home and to have endured the abuse and neglect and pain that she endured. But I wonder, if she can identify it, and write about it, and share it and acknowledge it and claim to want to help people by it, does that absolve the way she has treated people? Or are we supposed to forget about that because she's so pretty and has such a nice smile?

"Let It Go," the soaring showstopper from "Frozen," has an unlikely remix coming out soon.
The Academy Award-winning smash sung by Idina Menzel got a reworking by Dutch electronic dance music DJ Armin van Buuren.
His remix is just one of more than a dozen that Walt Disney Records commissioned for "Dconstructed," a compilation album that placed Disney tunes, including several beloved classics, into the hands of EDM stars.
Songs have been pulled from older Disney films, such as "Dumbo," "The Lion King" and "Toy Story," and more recent hits, such as "Monsters University" and "The Incredibles."
The 14-track set will include contributions from Buuren, Avicii, Kaskade, Mat Zo and Unkle.
PHOTOS: Unexpected musical collaborations
Disney has so far issued only the track list and a quick Instagram teaser for the album, but it's clear the house that Mickey Mouse built is ready to rave.
"Circle of Life," the tear-jerker from "The Lion King," will get a flip courtesy of Israeli producer-DJ Mat Zo; Kaskade has turned "Baby Mine" from "Dumbo" into a house remix; Randy Newman's poignant "Toy Story" standout "You've Got a Friend in Me" has been mashed into a "hyper" remix from Alfred Montejano; and "The Muppet Show Theme" has gotten a new take courtesy of Shy Kidx.
"Dconstructed" will be released April 22 and is currently available for pre-order through Amazon.
Full track list below:
1. "Circle of Life" (Mat Zo Remix) -- Carmen Twillie & Lebo M., "The Lion King"

We like to think of the beach as a nice relaxing place to be. Perhaps its the bracing sea air, the crunch of wet sand underfoot, or the blue-green water rolling along in waves. What we don't like to think of is all the waste we keep pumping into that blue-green water—until it turns a fetching shade of brown, that is. For beachgoers in Malibu and Santa Monica, though, there's no way to avoid confronting that reality.
As southern California's population continues to grow, so does its waste. With the Pacific Ocean right there, a lot of that waste gets dumped into the sea. The New York Times has taken a look at the state of Surfrider Beach in Malibu, one of the original surf spots on the US mainland, and it doesn't like what it sees. Local surfers are having to rinse their ears out with hydrogen peroxide and even gargle with dilute solutions of the same after spending a while in the fetid waters.
As an ex-resident of San Diego County and a surfer, I'm all too aware of the problems of pollution in the ocean. Even if the waves were good, it was always advisable to avoid the water for a few days after a storm, as the runoff from the roads and fields joins the swell you want to ride. Ear, nose, and throat infections are common amongst surfers and other water-users, with the likely culprits being bacteria that wash out to sea with the sewage. Not all of LA's beaches are a swampy nightmare, but if the break you want to ride happens to be brown, you might want to catch another wave.

A growing population, a changing climate, ecosystems under stress, and rising energy needs, how can we ensure water and food security for all? This year the Stockholm World Water Week, taking place from 26-31 August, will look specifically at the future of water and food security.
Feeding 7 billion people whilst maintaining the health of natural ecosystems and livelihoods is a huge challenge and urgent solutions will be required. During the six day conference, IUCN and partners will look into and discuss possible answers and solutions to the growing water, energy and food security challenge. The yearly conference attracts over 2,000 participants, from government, private sector and civil society, who will put forward policy recommendations and concrete actions.
It is predicted that in less than two decades, globally 40% less freshwater resources will be available to ensure water, energy, and food security. Transformation is necessary and IUCN joins in the debate on new opportunities and changes of our current approaches to managing water. The Nexus perspective, a paradigm aimed at increasing the understanding of the interdependencies between water, energy, and food security, has provided an opportunity for IUCN to promote the role of natural infrastructure as a critical pillar in this three-tier approach.
Key Issues:
• Valuing Natural Infrastructure. "Understanding that nature can serve as infrastructure, by storing, moving, cleaning and buffering flows of water, making drought and flood less severe, and food and energy production more reliable, opens the way to including the management and restoration of ecosystems in planning and investment for the water-food-energy nexus", says Mark Smith, Director, IUCN Global Water Programme.
• Healthy Ecosystems "Looking at the fact that 70% of water withdrawals worldwide are used for food production resources, it is obvious that good water management plays an important role in global food supply. Added to that, climate change impacts and population growth pose a serious threat to global water supplies. Keeping ecosystems such as watersheds, mangroves, and floodplains well-functioning and healthy should be top priorities on every policy-makers' agenda", says Ganesh Pangare, Head IUCN Asia Water Programme.
• Water Governance and Dialogue In addition to the focus on food security this year, Stockholm Water Week will also highlight key events related to the 2013 UN Year on Water Cooperation. "With more than 270 transboundary rivers and lakes worldwide, water cooperation and good governance at international, national and local levels, is key to avoid conflict over water resources. IUCN's BRIDGE project is currently active in three continents, building river governance and dialogue, leading to new and improved ways of water cooperation", says Alejandro Iza, Director IUCN Environmental Law Centre.

Burton Bradstock Memories
Read and share memories of Burton Bradstock
I have so many memories of Burton Bradstock. My brother and I sometimes stayed with an aunt and uncle there for the annual escape from the Midlands, where we lived. Often, these visits engendered large family outings to the beach. Oh, the misery of those early bathing costumes! The beach was more pebble than sand, (...Read full memory)

Kemin BactoCease NV Helps Processors Develop Safe, Clean-Label Meat Products
Kemin has introduced BactoCease NV, a label-friendly ingredient for the intervention of Listeria monocytogenes in meat and poultry processing facilities. This is the latest addition to the Kemin food safety platform of label-friendly and synthetic ingredients designed to increase the safety of meat and poultry products.
BactoCease NV is a buffered, vinegar-based ingredient for the intervention of Listeria monocytogenes and other foodborne pathogens in processed meat and poultry as well as some fresh meat applications, helping manufacturers develop safe, clean-label food products.
The entire BactoCease line of ingredients, BactoCease and now BactoCease NV, are applied at lower application rates compared to traditional lactates, which could decrease ingredient cost per pound of meat as well as contribute less sodium as a result of lower application rates in the finished meat product.

[This is a review of AoS Episode 3. There Will Be SPOILERS.]
This week's episode of Agents of SHIELD, "The Asset", takes a welcomed step away from any sky tales and trips to Peru. Instead, Malta is this episodes setting – perhaps its most important – as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. attempts to tell the origin story of how Franklin Hall (Ian Hart), a brilliant physicist, becomes the super villain comic book fans know as Graviton.
As with the previous two episodes, a lofty and ambitious tale is weaved on what (still) appears to be a poorly-utilized shoestring budget. All the dressings of a technologically advanced, global adventure are there in theory - and are, at times, extremely compelling. What still undermines the series, however, is its foundation (or lack thereof).
In the three weeks that Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been on the air, the series has yet to truly provide a foundation for these tales to exist. Coulson (Clark Gregg), the beloved icon from the movie franchise, is somehow alive and is surrounded by a team of experts who don't really do all that much, are not really different from any other fictional secretive team, and are largely unknown.
Mysteries are great for evolving characters and keeping viewers anticipating what's next; unfortunately, with S.H.I.E.L.D. it's almost impossible to tell what's next - or what's currently happening for that matter - because the only thing that really connects the episodes is Coulson's mysterious rebirth, which, at this point, has become a bit of a moot subject (it's pretty much one of these theories, right?).
Though Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. still feels weak in its third week (ha...) and still very much like a pantomime, one could make a strong argument that the series, in its current form, would make a terrific radio play. Yes, the musical accompaniments are over-the-top; and yes, the visuals are more of what Fringe would have been if WB put it on The CW instead of Fox; and yes, the dialogue is campy and often unnecessary. Yet still, in audible form, with a bit of imagination replacing the visuals of ABC, S.H.I.E.L.D. could be great. As it currently stands, the series is much like Coulson's mystery: unnecessarily confusing and underwhelming.
That's not to say there hasn't been any evolution to the series - it's just been in all the wrong places. Seeing Ian Hart on S.H.I.E.L.D. after his fantastic work on FX's Dirt is always enjoyable, even if his character – and acting talents – are wholly underutilized in this episode. In what may be a surprise to many, Ghost Whisperer's David Conrad steps in as Ian Quinn, one the (many?) nemeses of S.H.I.E.L.D. , and really helps to sell the story at hand. As for S.H.I.E.L.D. , it may very well be Ming Nah's character, Melinda May, who turns out to be the saving grace of this series.
Though Coulson is put front and center in almost every situation, May is literally – but also emotionally – held back. Her silent-but-deadly persona may have been a bit off-putting at first, but in this episode, May's slight comments to Coulson and her largely cautious demeanor helps to pull viewers in to the overall story that's attempting to be told – which is what should have happened in the pilot.
Now three weeks in, the future and direction of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. still remains uncertain – and for a good reason: it hasn't yet earned the season 2 pickup it will likely receive anyway. Still, somewhere in there, outside of Disney's need for the show to work, there's a glimmer of hope that a beautiful tale of technology, superheroes and Coulson will emerge. And if it does, it'll be through Melinda May – so keep an eye on her.
_____Agents of SHIELD returns next Tuesday with "Eye-Spy" @8pm on ABC. You can check out a preview of next week's episode below:

What a shame VisBee only seems to operate on microsoft windows, I hope you are also looking to have it operate on other OS's.Just like 'Citect SCADA' and the Allen Bradley RSLogix range of software products, they all only operate on windows, and this is the only reason I keep a windows image available in VirtualBox environment. I feel irked by having to keep software like this for work I do in Industrial Automation.How wonderful it would be if we could have our operating system of choice and be able to use some of these programs.Chris, a problem with your 'visbee' web site. If go to this page http://www.visbee.de/Christ/Christ-Elektronik/ and then select the English flag at the top of the page for English then all I get is a blank page. There are other pages that do the same, you will need to check to find out which pages do not work.Paul

Fund: First Round Capital
Posted by tempo on 2007-10-16
Rob Hayes was one of the first VCs we met with in our process, and he put us through our paces (as I've heard he's done to others). He didn't invest at first, but his early feedback resonated for months as we developed our product. It was only after several months of rapid iteration on our business that we felt comfortable returning to him, and it paid off. Rob immediately appreciated the subtle but profound business implications of what we were doing. After that First Round moved quickly, as they've done ever since we closed the round.

Now We Know Where Luca Gets It From, Naples
CommentsClose comment
75 comments
I like the way he matches the stripes. And the blue so matches the colour of his eyes.
Luca is a feast for the eyes. I like the mix of neutrals and colors – the blue shirt/tie/gloves picking up the blue in his eyes, and the purple just works… stripes mixed with plaids… I feel visually sated.
Please make Luca appear on my computer screen every morning. Le sigh.
Hi father's suit looks to me to be perfectly fitted. And as a woman, I'm taking inspiration from those blues mixed with the brick red.
Fabulous Colors!
Is that a red ribbon around the right wrist? it looks great
thze coat is great
and the suit fantastic
Thanks for this post. It's nice that it runs in the family. They both have great individual style.
Oh my god! He looks fantastic! The colours, the patterns, somehow – his attitude probably – he manages it to look casual and stylish, not like a clown…He totally has his father style, quite redefined of course, and some unbelivable eyes…man, that is such a piece of art!
What a beautiful suit, cut from lovely cloth. Very well accessorised (with the exception of the cellphone..). This gentleman looks very fine.
his eyes – unbelievable.
Good GOD I want his wardrobe!
Fine men.
Luca is a heart throb. Thanks for making my morning. xo
good god I want HIM!
It's funny, because when I was younger I was a complete tom-boy..growing up with ALL boys around me for the longest time. My mom [whom has the best sense of style of anyone I have EVER known] would curl my hair and put gloss on my lips and I would cry 'I don't want to lookkkk like you!'…but just the other day I walked briskly by a mirror on the wall…and I had to do a double take! It turns out I am more like my mom than I ever thought I would be. I thinks its an honor to possess the sense of style and keen eye for fashion that she does. It looks like Luca is the same way. Bravo Luca!
Yeah, why not? Isn't it carnival times?
Father reflects true Italian elegance that, you will be surprised to hear, resided in Naples.
Anyway, they own a fantastic shop in Via dei Mille. Very old fashioned even in the forniture. But absolutely worthy.
I want to BE them–and I'm a woman.
What I mean is that I want to be dressed in a way that exudes/conveys/telegraphs this type of glamour, style, confidence, attitude.
Its like they have it all together; they're in charge; they know what's going on; but they still know how to have fun and indulge their tastes and whimsies.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, those fabulous eyes…a very stylish man.
Mamma mia! Che bello…
If I had those blue-out-of-this-world-eyes I would match everything with blue too!
Fine suit, love the bit of red on his left wrist.
Luca's tie and jacket are phenomenal.
Of course they look great, they are tailors…
I adore the purple of the scarf and the vibrant blue of the gloves in Luca's photo. His dad has it locked down as well!
Good Lord these boys know what they're doing… bravissimo!
You can repost that photo of Luca as many times as you want; I'll never get tired of looking at it. Dreamy!
Ah, the adventurousness of youth! That said, underneath the plaid coat and the hat Luca is really working the same classic look as Mariano.
Great style from both generations.
italinas are good with that kinda of colors mix…nicely put, probably too nicely??? an italian
Love the colors, patterns, eyes…
Both of them very good. Since I'm in the Mariano age group obviously his get up has more appeal. It's outstanding of course…I'm not one of the fans of brown shoes with blue suits but because they are really dark he gets away with it. Just. And all those guys who think you can wear pale tan shoes with blue suits…don't…you look as if you're managing a team of ladies of the night. Basically this is how all men over 35 aught to look when they are wearing a suit. Unfortunately only a small minority do as you can see when you have a wander around NYC. But at least they have a role model.
Oh my god, with those fabulous eyes, no matter what he wears
OMG, both of them could get me in so much trouble.
Sart, are you going to give the Rubinacci's and the insurpassable Giovanna their own chapters in your forthcoming book??
The apple doesn't fall fram the tree in that family; both men are very stylish. Beautiful captures.
Luca has it going on – the way that he presents himself is spot on!
Check out the fresh cotton/linen bucket hat – I'm going to have to steal Luca's thunder on this one and give it a kick.
It's amazing how he made all of those colours work for him.
Absolutely love the combination of colors on Luca; it's just the right amount to retain some life without being gaudy.
Luca Rubinacci style is down right great, Haven't been impacted by someones natural talent for modeling in a while, cheers to the one who put the outfit together.
if i ever have a boy baby, i want him to look like luca. he's just so beautiful.
I LOVE the pairing of stripes with plaid & vibrant color. I have been trying to master this myself recently. I commend any man that can pull this off with such flair.
cheers to you Luca.
Both of them look absolutely great. I love the color of the father's suit — it's not that almost black Navy blue that's so prevalent in the US. It's a little brighter, more interesting and more flattering. What is that bit of red around his wrist? It looks good in the photo, but I'm afraid it's one of those rubber charity bracelets.
Where does Luca get such wonderful gloves?!? And scarf, and coat and . . .
want that coat!
I saw Luca and thought, "Hello, Luca, I am Christina, do you wish to wed?" What a dreamboat. And with a stylish father at that!
Thank you for your images. What dreams they all seem to be.
Impossible not to like him, those eyes, playful clothes a feast to the eyes.
Luca is fantastic! This is gorgeous.
the first picture, the gentleman in the suit – dapper.
the second – hubba hubba – my new screen saver.
Molto bello!!! I'm very proud that you actually put his father's pic, too, since it's from Napoli. Ppl always think South Italy is the worst part of Italy. But, hey, if U never been there, U should….beautiful food, great friendly ppl, the scenery, everything. Even Napolitan in the US are so friendly and charming. They know how to cook, especially the men. BRAVO!!!
that picture of Mr. Luca Rubinacci is still one of my favorites you'veever taken. Definately love at first sight :)
It would be interesting to see what Luca's mom looks like…
Luca is hot! I love his color palette and I love that he was daring!
who could even notice what luca is wearing with those eyes? please please please do a style profile on him soon, sart.
I love Lucas daring mix of both colours and patterns! Fabulous!
Luca is hot but Mariano is owning it! let's look in young Luca in about twenty years. His pops is hot. by the by, Luca should hope that his dad's tailor has offspring who will be able to produce such beautiful work. a good tailor is hard to find.
finally a classic suit with pants of the proper length – not those silly ones which reveal the socks even when one is standing straight.
He looks fantastic
Mariano, definitely Michael Gambon in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Great tailoring and he owns the suit, the suit does not own him!
Wish more of that color and style (or quality of tailoring) was more prevalent in the US.
Simply put, I'd sport Luca's look everyday and not get tired of that. Love the tie, especially.
Father is perfecto.
Too focused on the son's eye to comment on his wild combo.
Luca e una inspirazione.
I GOT to get me a Mariano's Blue Suite like that!! I just love that royal blue… wow!
I am curious what kind of material Luca's tie is made from to allow the ruching of the not like that. I love the contrasting fabrics; I can almost feel the texture.
Which stores are Rubinacci outlets in the USA?
those eyes!
I love the whole color scheme, and he has beautiful eyes that just bring it all together.
~ Montreal Fashion Minds ~
he's pwitty
I prefer the style of the dad.
That Luca is a hottie and he knows how to dress too.
great blue
For me Luca is probably the most inspiring person I've seen here. His father photo is just a confirmation:)
wooooow !
Je ne me lasse JAMAIS de regarder ce si beau visage … accentuĂ© de ces beaux vĂŞtements !
Luca Rubinacci dans mes rĂŞves.
his eyes are the burner!! :D
Pretty :)
Omigod, the colors, the eyes, the hat, the stubble!! Kill me now!
Quel beau bleu…
I love Mariano Rubinacci´s suit, and the color of the outlook is so great.
this inspires me to play with colors more. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Independent Documentary Thriving in Brooklyn/
Guest post by Steve Holmgren.
We are back to our regular twice weekly events at UnionDocs, a documentary arts space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. UnionDocs' microcinema continues to be an exciting place to see important nonfiction films: from classics made by the likes of George Stoney, Rosa von Praunhiem, and Pare Lorentz to underseen crtical favorites like October Country and The Carter to boundary-pushing experimental work made by artists like Lynne Sachs, James T. Hong, and Ken Jacobs. In addition, UnionDocs presents panels and lectures, including talks last year on distribution and access (Richard Amromowitz, Todd Sklar, Ashley Sabin) and documentary criticism (Thom Powers, Richard Brody, Lisa Rosman, Ed Halter), as well as nonfiction photography, audio, interactive art, and writing. Always followed by engaging discussions with presenting artists.
We also host a year-long program for twelve emerging artists called the UnionDocs Collaborative. The participants collaborate on interdisciplinary group nonfiction production, and also attend private weekly workshops, sometimes with visiting artists. Between the collaborative, and the artist conversations, UnionDocs is a site for conversations about the future of documentary.
Coming up this Sunday (TODAY), we welcome back French music video maker Vincent Moon, who has redefined the genre with his intimate and profound Take Away Shows with bands like Grizzly Bear and Beirut. We will host a panel investigating documentary journalism and global perspectives in digital media, with guests from Wall Street Journal's video team and Breakthrough.tv among others. We also are continuing a monthly screening series with vital NYC independent and avant-garde distributor The Film-Makers Coop, and this month kick off a new screening series with Cineaste Magazine.We are trying to do our part to keep the flame going for independent and boundary pushing documentary. For a list of upcoming events and to sign up for our weekly email list visit: www.uniondocs.org

Dating can be an unappetizing stew of disappointment, frustration, and dashed hopes no matter where you do it. But it can be all of that with a dash of psychosis and the desire to never ever hear the word "date" again if you're doing it in a place like New York City. So it's no wonder that, by the time a woman or man gets to be a certain age and hasn't found "the one" yet, he or she can be "commited to dying alone" -- as a friend of mine recently put it. However, there are some success stories. A friend of mine recently got married in her 40s. The media would have us believe the odds of that are nil. But my friend followed some basic -- yet kinda crazy -- rules.
Here are six ways to not let the dating game get you down.
Never get bitter. No matter how many stories my friend told me about awful guys who dumped her for baffling reasons, or who simply disappeared one day, or who turned out to be total jerkwads, she never let it get her down. She still considered love and marriage something she could have and would have. She still smiled, still laughed, and still flirted, and still dated. She still LIKED men.
Don't let them waste your time. That said, my friend gave guys a year at most. If it didn't seem seriously like it was moving towards marriage after that, she cut them loose no matter how much she liked them or how much they promised things would get serious soon.
Each man is a new man. My friend's motto all during her dating days was, "One man doesn't deserve to be punished for what another man did." No matter how egregious a boyfriend behaved, she never for a moment held that against the next boyfriend. That means even though she was cheated on in one relationship, she still trusted the next guy.
Keep trying even if it didn't work last time. My friend had a thing for dating guys long distance. She did it over and over. And it never worked out. Yet she kept trying -- and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought she was nutso. Yet the guy she ended up marrying lived in Italy when she met him online. She knew what she liked (foreign guys) and she wasn't going to let the fact that it hadn't worked out in the past stop her from trying that again in the future.
Never compromise yourself. My friend has had all kinds of guys try to change her over the years -- one wanted her to lose weight, one said she was "too happy," one didn't like her spiritual hippy-dippy side. But she never wavered in not changing what she liked about herself. Eventually, she found someone who loved it all. But even if she hadn't -- she still would have loved herself.
Don't feel rushed. Despite the fact that my friend was closing in on 40, she still retained an optimistic attitude about finding love and marriage. And she wasn't going to let society, her friends, or her family, rush her into settling down with someone she didn't feel right about. After each break up, she still felt like she had plenty of time. She knew it was about WHO not WHEN.
What are your tricks for finding love?

Organised by Major Tinker and the Victorian Steampunk Society, Weekend at The Asylum is the biggest steampunk convivial in Europe and attracts over 1000 steampunks to Lincoln each year, some of whom travel from all over the world in order to attend. Stretching out over several days, the weekend comprises a mixture of events from book launches and talks to dance classes and large social gatherings, of which the highlight is the Empire Ball on Saturday night. A marketplace runs on Saturday and Sunday selling everything from jewellery to artwork to corsets - all in the steampunk theme, and the grounds of Lincoln Castle play host to many thrilling events which the public are welcomed to come and watch.
This year was my first time attending the Asylum, so named because host venue "The Lawn" (which is now mainly used for conferencing) was once home to Lincoln's very own lunatic asylum. Being a local to the city I was lucky in that I didn't have to travel and so on Friday afternoon I headed up to The Lawn in order to check in and collect my weekend wristband. The area was already filled with a number of steampunks, many of whom had taken up residence in the beer garden of the nearby Victoria pub - a friend to the event and happy to welcome the groups into their garden. After checking in I went along to the launch of Robert Rankin's latest novel,The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels of The Modern Age where Robert was signing copies and selling raffle tickets to help the event's chosen charity, Help For Heroes. The prize was rather spectacular, a starring role in his next novel and so tickets were being eagerly snapped up by his fans. This was my last event for Friday as I was not attending any of the evening events and so I set off home to prepare for my first full day of steampunk.
My Saturday began at twelve (although the event had opened two hours prior) with the Audience with Robert Rankin, held upstairs in the Asylum. Robert entertained the audience with hilarious stories including many of the tall tales created by his father and accounts of the many and varied injuries he has inflicted on the celebrities he has met through the years. I can honestly say that he is one of the most natural and funny public speakers I have ever had chance to hear, and I was lucky to hear him speak again over the weekend.
Next on my agenda was a talk on the Victorian Dinosaur Hunters after a short break in which I watched a group of steampunks learning to waltz to Mull of Kintyre - surreal didn't cut it. This talk centered on the AmericanBone Wars and the rivalry between Othineal Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope - two of the finest paleontologists of the nineteenth century. Having read Deborah Cadbury's "The Dinosaur Hunters" many years ago, I knew a lot about England and European scientists during the early years of paleontology and found it fascinating to learn about this bitter feud across the Atlantic, I even got to learn some things about US history that I didn't know before including details about the Louisiana Purchase which I previously only knew by name. I was however delighted to see mention of one of my favourite English scientists, the tragically forgotten Dr Gideon Mantell, all in all the talk was highly entertaining at the same time as being educational, what more could you want from such a presentation? I spent the next few hours
exploring the Castle grounds and marketplace. The grounds were playing host to a birds of prey display and on my arrival I got to witness the Wacky Races where steampunks enter their own crazy contraptions and race them up and down the castle bailey to the delight and amusement of everyone watching. Inside the castle walls is the old Victorian prison, the location of the Bazaar Eclectica, with each stall located inside one of the cells. This gave the entire place a slightly dark, macabre feel when mixed with the steampunk attire being worn by everyone inside. I spent over an hour and a half exploring the various shops and talking to customers and shop keepers, comparing outfits and weaponry and sharing stories. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was fun and easy going. The stalls were filled with beautiful items and I could easily have spent a fortune, I managed to reel myself in but did buy a few things including a copy of the Steampunk Literary Review and my first pocket watch.
As my day drew to a close, I attended the costume competition inside the Main Hall. Despite the huge numbers in attendance, only nine people had entered the contest which meant each entrant had plenty of time onstage to show off their amazing costumes and creative gadgets. Robert Rankin compered the event, reading out the incredibly inventive character profiles each entrant had put together and bantering with the entrants, judges and crowd. The costume of the eventual winner included a pair of home made mechanical wings, giving her the power of flight thanks to a house fly trapped in a vial of ether attached to her backpack. After the winner was announced, the room was organised by location getting people to stand in the approximate location of their home city if we imagined the floor was a map of the UK. This allowed people to meet others from their area and created small groups ready for our attempt at a Guinness World Record which was my final event for
the afternoon. The previous weekend, steampunks at Dragon*Con had attempted a world record and now we were trying to beat it. Guinness had been unable to supply anyone to oversee the attempt and so we were organised into groups of around 20, the groups filled out a sheet with each member stating their name, email address and the name of the gadget they had. The rules that had been set down stated that in order to qualify, each person must have something on their head (so they were steampunk from top to toe) and also some form of gadget on their person. The name of these gadgets were highly inventive with everything from Time Travelling Pocket Watches to Ether Resistant Underwear. Each group was then photographed in order to allow a head count to take place, before the final group shot was taken, rounding out my Saturday at the Asylum, I was already exhausted but couldn't wait to get back the next morning for more activities.
My first event on Sunday morning was the Military Parade inside the castle grounds. This was open to anyone attending the Asylum in any form of military costume, regardless of their personal background. Also participating were the Third Foot and Mouth Brigade, a local group who dress as the fictional soldiers in Carry on Up The Khyber. The parade including an inspection of the troops from Her Majesty Queen Victoria, but ended on a solemn note as all gentlemen were asked to remove their headgear for a minute's silence marking the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, followed by a reading of the Ode of Remembrance, usually heard on Remembrance Day.
After the parade I spent time looking around the Bazaar Eclectica once again, which on Sunday was open to the public (or muggles as the steampunks were calling them) in order to encourage new people into steampunk. Allowing the public to mingle certainly appears to have had the desired effect; I personally was stopped several times over the weekend by people curious to know what was going on and at the end of the weekend, Major Tinker told us that a large percentage of the muggles he had spoken to were buying things at the bazaar to use in their own costumes next year having been tempted to join in themselves. I also spent some time visiting the stalls inside the Main Hall (taken up mainly by authors) and having my photograph taken with the TARDIS which was parked in the corner. One thing I found really lovely was how willing to talk everyone was. On Saturday I spent around 45 minutes at one stall in the bazaar just chatting to the owners and on Sunday I did the same with the owners of the TARDIS, discussing conventions and children's birthday parties. Whilst waiting for my next event I also attended the Great Exhibition, where attendees could submit their own gadgets for the opportunity to win such great prizes as The Brunel Award for Spirit of Steampunk or The Jules Verne Award for Ingenuity. The inventions were incredible and very well made, some of my favouriotes included the "Zom-Be" Zombie Disguise Helmet, The Aetheric Accumulator and The Sartorial Resplendanator.
The main feature of my afternoon was the book launch for new novels by Sam Stone and David J Howe which involved free food and wine, a good way to entice plenty of people to stop by and take a look. Sam was launching Hateful Heart, book four of her Vampire Gene Series and a novel she describes as a cross between The Da Vinci Code, Raiders of The Lost Ark and Quantum Leap. She read out the prologue set 1000 years before the novel to a small audience, all seated on the Lawn's comfy brown sofas, and had us all enraptured. David also read out some parts of his book talespinning, a collection of short stories, Doctor Who drabbles and screenplays including the script for his 2004 film Daemos Rising. Sam and David were incredibly friendly and sat chatting with their fans and others who stopped by the launch all afternoon. Later, I was introduced to another author participating in the Asylum, Raven Dane who was there to launch her first steampunk novel, Cyrus Darian and the Technomicron. All the authors have kindly provided me with copies of their wonderful books so look out for some reviews coming soon.
As I finished chatting with these lovely people, the Tea Duelling was beginning in the centre of the Main Hall and I went along to watch having never seen the game before. Tea Duelling is a game of nerve and goes like this: two combatants dunk a biscuit (a cookie in US terms) for a count of either three or five (five being decidedly more challenging) into a mug of tea, then withdraw it, the winner is the second person to eat their biscuit without it having collapsed, if the opponent's biscuit collapses then the other combatant wins by default unless their biscuit also collapses before they have chance to eat it. The longer and more detailed rules of the game are available to read online. It is a game that can be played by all ages and drew a large crowd who were all whooping and cheering excitedly by the end, myself included - it was amazing how "into" the game you found yourself. This video shows the final of the Tea Duelling at another VSS event at Kew Bridge Steam Museum back in June, being presided over by The Major:
When the tea duelling finally finished I needed a sit down and something a bit less exciting (I had been wearing a corset for many hours after all) so I went along to the planning meeting for The Asylum 2012. Next year will see a big change as the current venue is being sold off by the council and so new venues have needed to be sourced very rapidly. Next year's event is hoped to be having several new events including a steampunk themed fashion show which sounds rather fascinating, I'm looking forward to it already. The meeting over I attended my final event of the weekend, the closing ceremony. This included the final of the tea duelling where the champion from earlier in the afternoon battled the winner from the event at Kew over the summer, prizes being awarded for the Great Exhibition and the opportunity for last year's winner of the Gentleman's Duelling to successfully defend her title against this year's winner. The ceremony closed with a heartfelt three cheers for the Major and his team and with everyone already looking forward to next year's event, I'll certainly be booking my ticket without hesitation.

Palo Alto, CAUSA
November 3, 2016
No introduction yet
Not only is Zurich one of the best places in the world to live, but it's also a great place to start a business. With its top-tier educational institutions, robust infrastructure, and business friendly administration, in many ways Zurich is the ideal place to launch a startup. There is a wealth of creative energy and entrepreneurial spirit in this area, but this sometimes gets lost in the perception that Zurich is simply a "banking town". Also, while there has long been an entrepreneurial scene here, it is somewhat of an exclusive club, and it can be particularly intimidating to non-locals, or aspiring entrepreneurs who want to learn the ropes before jumping in completely.
We can change that! The goal of this group is to open up the entrepreneurial community, giving people a friendly and casual way to network, share ideas, and help each other succeed. There is no pressure or prejudice here, just a group of people who share a belief in the power of free enterprise, and who enjoy having a good chat with like-minded others.
So whether you are a seasoned entrepreneur, a student who is considering what to do next, or just someone who wants to take the path less traveled, come join us! Whether you want to start the next Google, or just make a living being self-employed, or anything in between, come join us! Investors and service providers are also welcome, as long as there is no overt solication.
We normally meet in the evening of the third Wednesday of each month. In addition, smaller morning gatherings take place on Tuesday mornings. Locations vary, so watch for your email invitation and check the details carefully.
We hope to see you at the next meetup!

We finally learned why Google Chairman Eric Schmidt is in North Korea.
Two words: Internet freedom.
Schmidt along with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and other members of the "Google delegation" are in North Korea to urge regime officials to let more people access the Internet openly and to let them use cell phones, Jean Lee at t he Associated Press reports.
Few people in North Korea can use the whole Internet — most are forced to use an incredibly limited network.
Richardson told the AP that they're also asking the country to suspend its missile launches and nuclear tests, and treat an American citizen detained in the country fairly and humanely.
News of Schmidt's trip came as a surprise to many people. Most notably, the U.S. State Department didn't think it was a particularly good time to take a trip to North Korea, given the country's recent missile launch.
But now that it's clear what Schmidt is doing in North Korea, it makes a lot of sense. Schmidt has been a long-time proponent of Internet openness and connectivity. He even has a book coming out in April called The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business.

It's inevitable but it would have been nice if had been against BU or PC.
No guarantee but looks like AH will be the game that breaks the record.
I was at the Schneider the 3rd period meltdown was disappointing along with the 2 disallowed goals.
The Gopher game will be tough without JG and maybe even MacLeod is out.

There's a reason Doris Day was, for so long, one of Hollywood's most popular actresses: she was really, really good at her job. And let's face it, her job wasn't easy. Countless would-be stars would sell their souls for just one or two of the many talents that Day brought to the screen with seeming ease: the marvelous singing voice (she has a Lifetime Grammy); the comedic timing; the perky personality that, thankfully, rarely felt cloying or saccharine; the formidable dramatic chops.
In movies like Calamity Jane, Pillow Talk, Lucky Me — and in tougher-minded fare, like Love Me or Leave Me with James Cagney — Day not only held her own with other stars: she often brought out the best in her peers. Whether in comedies (Rock Hudson) or thrillers (James Stewart in Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much), she hit her marks, hit all the right notes, and made it look like fun. How many stars, of any era, can say the same?
Doris Day famously left the movies behind in 1968, when she was in her mid-40s, and effectively retired from acting in the mid-1970s after a successful stint on television. Over the course of her surprisingly short career she starred in dozens of films, and for years –even long after she stopped acting — she was the number one female box-office star of all time.
For the past several decades Day has led a quiet but active life in Monterey County, Calif., most notably as the founder of the celebrated Doris Day Animal Foundation — a nonprofit with, as the DDAF website notes, "a straightforward mission: to help animals and the people who love them."
Here, LIFE.com offers a series of photos, none of which ran in LIFE, from the late 1940s and early 1950s, when the Ohio native with the winning smile and the gorgeous voice had Hollywood in the palm of her hand.

Share Educational Material with the Diigo iPad App
Diigo for iPad enables educators to organize and archive web content to share with students and fellow teachers. Through social bookmarking, Diigo enables teachers to share anything they find on the web that is worth archiving. Diigo enables the sharing of content in a number of ways:
Public and private bookmarks: You can set any Diigo bookmark listing to be private or public. Private bookmarks are still very helpful for archiving and referencing content, but only public bookmarks can be shared and viewed by others.
My Network: You can certainly learn from what other people are reading and bookmarking — especially people you know and respect. Diigo has a My Network feature that enables you to add friends and colleagues and see what they are bookmarking.
Access your account on any web browser, and tap or click the My Network item on the top menus. Look for the link to Browse and Edit your friends and then add more. Once you have added some people to your network, you'll see everything they have publicly bookmarked in your My Network section.
My Groups: Start or join a Diigo group. Groups are formed around a common theme, and members can share their findings with each other. Tap or click the My Groups menu item on the top of the web browser page, and browse for groups with which you share a common interest.
Groups exist for everything from teaching mathematics to scuba diving. You can also type a term in the search box, and Diigo drops down a menu of options, one of which is to find groups that are interested in your search term.
Tap or click any group in the search results, and you're taken to the group page. You'll see a large button that you tap or click to apply for membership in the group.
As Groucho Marx famously said, "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." If you feel so inclined, go ahead and start your own group!
Just tap or click the Create a Group button on the My Groups page, define your group's topic of interest, and start inviting members. (Just don't grow one of those Groucho moustaches!) After you have a group set up, start sharing:
Sharing with a group: Whenever you save a bookmarked page, Diigo offers you the option to share it with a group. Select any one of your groups, and your finding will be listed and shared on the group's page.
Sharing in class groups: If you upgraded to an Educator account, you can set up a private group that includes your students. That's a great way to create and organize class research and to build a knowledge base for your course. You can also create subgroups that can share findings when working on collaborative projects.
The Diigo app on the iPad is an excellent tool for reviewing all the content you've archived along with annotations and highlights. It doesn't, however, currently give you access to the content of any Diigo Groups that you have joined or members you're following. To access that content, use your web browser, and sign in. The My Network and My Groups menu item at the top of the page will list that content.

My wife is a great cook. Throughout our marriage I have watched her prepare (and joyfully partaken in) literally hundreds of unique dishes. She is more of an artist in the kitchen. Each time it is a little different. Recently we had some children over to make pancakes. My wife patiently helped them find each of the ingredients; they had a grand time cracking eggs, stirring flour, getting the ingredients ready, in anticipation of the delicious breakfast to come. For me, worship is a little like cooking.
As I have had the privilege to minister in worship with the Eagles' Wings team in nations around the world (from churches of 25 to stadiums of 25,000) I have tasted a lot of different flavors of worship, but have seen some common themes that seems to be ingredients that move worship from just singing songs, to a life-changing encounter with the Creator King.
- Lift Up – What are we focused on when we worship? Is it the great sound, the amazing skill, the flashing lights? If we only focus on the externals, we can inadvertently lead people into "spectator mode." As leaders, we have the opportunity to model a "God-first" approach, inviting people to interact with the Living God. Beginning with prayer to God, not just about God, and reading portions of Scripture throughout the time can realign people's focus on Who this is really all about.
- Listen Up – Developing sensitivity to the voice of the Spirit and being able to respond to what He is doing in the midst of His people is so important. One of the best ways to do this is to make space – to literally "wait on the Lord." This can mean a pause before worship begins, or it can be in the midst of worship where we don't just go through our list of songs, but make space for our hearts to linger in a moment and truly listen.
- Train Up – I don't know if we realize it, but every time we worship it is just a rehearsal. It's just a warm-up for the eternal worship service we're going to be engaged in for all time. We shouldn't be afraid to train people in worship. If you feel the need for an instrumental interlude, tell the people. "Folks, we are going to take a moment and wait on the Lord. Don't be distracted; just focus your hearts on Him." You will be helping them grow in their worship life personally as well as corporately.
- Link Up – Another thing worship provides is the opportunity to love and encourage one another. Paul admonishes the Ephesians that they should encourage one another in "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs," (Eph. 5:19). As leaders there are times when we should facilitate this interaction. Maybe it's breaking into prayer clusters of 2-3 people and speaking a 30-second blessing over one another, or it could be declaring God's word that you are singing over one another. There is something powerful released when worship becomes about "we" not "me."
Just like my wife's artistry in our Saturday morning pancake adventure, the Holy Spirit knows how to take our simple offering and make something amazing out of it. As we enter the Presence of God each time in worship, perhaps we should think of ourselves more as kids in the kitchen. We have been invited to bring the ingredients and follow His direction, but ultimately the end result is something only He can make happen. As we smell the aroma of heaven rising, we can only say, "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good," (Psalm 34:8).

He says he's "still trying to make sense of it."
10:07AM EST December 5. 2012 - Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz turns 27 today. And last week, he suffered a mini-stroke.
TMZ reported the news on Tuesday, citing a source was taken to an Arizona ER on Friday when friends noticed he was "acting really weird" -- having trouble speaking and understanding words -- and they got freaked out."
On Good Morning America today the actor/musician explained, "I couldn't say words. I thought I was saying them! My fiance, was looking at me like I was speaking a foreign language."
He was riding his motorcycle in Phoenix on Friday when he lost vision in one eye, he told GMA. His doctors told him he had suffered a mini-stroke. Among people who have had strokes, fewer than 10% are under 45. Muniz says he doesn't drink or do drugs and has never had a cigarette. NEXT....

We usually return calls within 30- to 60-minutes; however, emergency calls will be returned immediately. In fact, late at night, emergency calls can be put through to our home phones. If we fail return your call within one hour, please call again. This usually means a problem has occurred in the translation of your message. If we are in the midst of an emergency, (i.e. delivery room, sick newborn, emergency room), our answering service should alert you to this and estimate when we will return your call. Life threatening situations should be handled rapidly by calling your local police department/ambulance. If your child can be taken to the emergency room of The Valley Hospital, Chilton Hospital, St. Joseph's Childrens Hospital, or Hackensack University Medical Center, it will allow us to be involved in all decision making.
