Progress in technology has brought microelectronics to the nanoscale, but nanoelectronics is not yet a well-defined engineering discipline with a coherent, experimentally verified, theoretical framework. The NCN has a vision for a new, 'bottom-up' approach to electronics, which involves: understanding electronic conduction at the atomistic level; formulating new simulation techniques; developing a new generation of software tools; and bringing this new understanding and perspective into the classroom. We address problems in atomistic phenomena, quantum transport, percolative transport in inhomogeneous media, reliability, and the connection of nanoelectronics to new problems such as biology, medicine, and energy. We work closely with experimentalists to understand nanoscale phenomena and to explore new device concepts. In the course of this work, we produce open source software tools and educational resources that we share with the community through the nanoHUB.
This page is a starting point for nanoHUB users interested in nanoelectronics. It lists key resources developed by the NCN Nanoelectronics team. The nanoHUB contains many more resources for nanoelectronics, and they can be located with the nanoHUB search function. To find all nanoelectronics resources, search for 'nanoelectronics.' To find those contributed by the NCN nanoelectronics team, search for 'NCNnanoelectronics.'

New Puppy on the way
New here.... Hello to all and thats for the advice...
We are getting a puppy in 3 weeks.
I have decided to get on the raw diet as soon as i can... I am a hunter and have plenty of deer and moose in the freezer. We also live near a chicken farm that i'm sure i could get a deal from...
The puppy we are getting will grow to 24" and be 45-60 lbs.
Questions? #1 I have a bear in the freezer that i'm sure my wife wont eat.... Can i feed it to the dog ??? I have heard bear is like pork and is subject to trichinosis? is this true?
#2 We do not plan to grind up meat unless we have to... is there a meat to bone ratio i need to follow? I have heard the dogs poop should dry fast and crumble when the ratio is correct.... Can any one confirm this ????
I actually have a ton of questions but don't want to scare anyone off LOL.
P.S We are looking to buy at a great price or get or hands on a free large dog crate... if any one can help from the GTA or outside of Toronto.. please let me know...

Description: As you may guess, petty means "small". You'll use these great little knives for detail tasks, just as you would a paring knife.
Ikeda's Powdered Metallurgical chef's knives have quickly become a favorite at Epicurean Edge. The san mai powdered metallurgical (PM) steel blade is similar to a Western Chef knife with the cutting qualities of the best Japanese-made knives. PM steel is created using a crucible technique and results in smaller grain structure and significantly longer edge holding. The center layer is SRS-15 PM stainless steel originally designed for metal cutting tools. It was hardened to Hrc 64 and is clad on the sides with soft SUS-405 stainless steel. This gives the blade an exceedingly tough, long lasting and chip resist edge that is relatively easy to resharpen. A forge-welded bolster seals the blade from the handle. The triple riveted tang runs the full length of the handle for strength and longevity. The nicely rounded, comfortable handle is made from resin impregnated hardwood. This 'pakka wood' combines the best attributes of natural wood and resin, and holds up exceptionally well to the rigorous demands of a home or commercial kitchen. Both blade and tang are tapered for better balance and reduced fatigue during long use.

Yes, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus are great together. Despite all of their scandals and inappropriate behavior, they are two teenagers who are only looking for their place under the sun. Many people believe that they have been a bad influence due to everything they are doing, but there is more to their story than meets the eye.
During the past few months, most people criticized Justin's and Miley's behavior, their performances and mostly their private life. But with all the criticism, people actually do not have time to see what is really important. Biber's and Cyrus's talent is being overlooked; not only overlooked but actually completely diminished. Many people do not realize that Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus actually do have talent. And it does not matter whether anyone likes their music or not. Justin is a great vocalist who plays several instruments, writes lyrics and music which resonates with a large group of audience. Miley has a big talent as a vocalist. Remember her cover of Lana Del Ray's song Summertime sadness? Despite the fact that she does sing great, she is not celebrated or appreciated as a legitimate artist. Why?
Miley Cyrus puts on a shocking spectacle for the audience, just as Justin Bieber does. And this is why all the possibility of legitimate music talent is erased from people's minds. Miley is well-known for her half-naked performances and Justin is a well-known ladies boy who cannot settle down with his Selena Gomez. But lately, news is bringing the same old stories about them. Who cheated on whom and who did what. Their talent is no longer a matter of question. It seems like the public is only interested in the scandals they make and not about the music they create. If you combine Justin Bieber's and Miley Cyrus's talent together, the result is a great mixture of a wide range of talents.
Justin's and Miley's behavior can be a result of many things. There is pressure of fame during their young age and the fear of ridicule and judgment. Being a celebrity when you are so young can be a lot of unwanted pressure. Their childhood practically did not exist. Bieber and Cyrus were different than many other children they grew up with. While others were playing outside, Justin and Miley worked hard in order to continue the success they had. And having no childhood can leave severe consequences which result later in adulthood. But not everything is their fault. The way that society treats celebrities is also to blame. If it used to be about music, today it is not anymore. Scandals, sex and nude pictures are what sells nowadays. People go to concerts to see the show, not to listen to music. And this is what Justin and Miley are giving them: a show to remember.
Despite the fact that they are great vocalists and talented artists, their current behavior and actions can leave some severe consequences. Especially drugs and alcohol. Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus have been friends for a long time and they are really great together. Despite all criticism, they continue being themselves and doing what they like. The only question is, what good will come out of that.

Tom Daley has been signed up for a second series of the hit celebrity diving show 'Splash!'.
The ITV show, which was presented by Gabby Logan and Vernon Kay, ended on Saturday when a peak audience of 6.6 million tuned in to see former ski-jumper Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards triumph ahead of Benidorm actor Jake Canuso and Changing Rooms Linda Barker.
Tom said he was "over the moon" about the news.
He added: "It's a dream come true for me to be involved in an entertainment show which has been so successful and also fits so well around my training schedule.
"Splash! has put diving on primetime TV and diving clubs all across the country have kept telling me that they now have waiting lists, following the popularity of the show. That in itself is an incredible achievement and I'm very excited to be part of it."
ITV's director of entertainment and comedy Elaine Bedell said: "Splash! has proved itself by building a big, enthusiastic, primetime family audience. We've seen some quite incredible bravery from our celebrities this series, and the scale of the dives they were achieving is in no small part down to their mentor, and the star of our show, Tom Daley. We're looking forward to even more Saturday night spectacle, and sparkle, with the second series."

Amethon Solutions has published a recent report looking at mobile advertising. The key insight from the report is that mobile advertising must focus on high quality engagement with the audience.
This means:
- Engaging in a mobile friendly form. Simply converting content from other digital media isn't good enough. Mobile users need mobile friendly solutions. It could be that you only ask your user to enter one field rather than five because filling out forms on mobile is difficult.
- Engaging with a mobile relevant message. Mobile messages must be suited to when people access their mobiles like when they're out and about. So, you should be short, sharp and, if possible, local.
- Engage with something special for your mobile user. If you really want to get someone to engage with your mobile campaign, offer them something special. M-Vouch is a great example of this.
There is much more that can be taken out of the report and a lot of useful information for mobile advertisers and advertisers looking to exploit mobile. You can get all of that information by heading over to Amethon's Mobile Advertising – Beyond the Click Through page.
Thanks to Amethon Solutions CEO Michael Stone for sending that through.

My school's system makes no sense.A "B" is "superior" yet an "A" is excellent.I tend to think of the word "superior" as indicative of the highest level of achievement. While "excellent" is still a high level of achievement, I doubt it connotes a higher level than "superior." Thus, this "grading key" makes no sense.http://www.law.suffolk.edu/offices/registrar/grades.cfm
I kind of agree w. your schools grading characterizations. Superior just means that it is better than some, higher. So a C is superior than a D, and an A is superior than a B. So, if you have a B- curve like my school, then B is superior to most people. So it is appropriate.On the other hand, excellent tends to imply that someone excels. They do above and beyond what was called for, not just above. I think an A would be reflective of this.I don't know if people agree. I have nothing to back this up, it is just my personal understanding/interpretation of those terms.

Given that I have to catch a flight home in a few hours, I only have time to post photos from actual filming locations right now (with a few obvious exceptions), accompanied by matching screen captures from the show. So please consider this a rough first draft; I really wanted to post these before I left Hawaii and because so many of you were kind enough to follow my journey on Twitter and Facebook today. The next entry will include pictures of the beach camp, the fuselage and pieces from the wreckage, various props, etc.
So stay tuned for more details and very cool photos after I am home again...and after tomorrow night's new episode airs.
* One caveat: this is and always will be a spoiler-free blog. We did witness live filming today, but I feel that I owe it to my loyal spoiler-free readers to remain silent about what we saw. All I will say is that is was amazing and surreal to be so close to the live production and set, and that we were able to watch a few scenes being filmed with some familiar faces.
When I have more time, I will add the titles of each episode from the photos below.
Thankfully the real one isn't cursed & didn't burn to the ground
Jack meets Kate in the pilot episode
It was rocky from the start
Jack's Thailand vacation beach
No sign of Bai Ling (phew!)
Jack's Thailand vacation beach, take 2
The coast is clear...literally
Jin brings Sun to the temple
It is breathtaking in person
Jin proposes to Sun
...and Jughead hidden on a prop truck
Kate buried her ex's toy airplane time capsule beneath this tree
...and then, like most men in Kate's past/path, he died
Miles parachutes onto the island
...does not actually have that opening
Pala Ferry
no Hurley, Jack, Kate or Sawyer held captive today
Radio Tower
nowhere near where it was on the show
Sawyer's Sweet Shrimp Shack
different name, same location
The sub before Locke gets to it
...and the sub in storage
The waterfall
No one resembling these two were swimming underneath it
Yemi's plane
We took several hundred photos and I can't wait to share the best of the rest with you very soon!
I will say that taking this tour is exhilarating and exhausting (I have even more respect for the actors now...walking along their beach was surprisingly challenging); an absolute treat for true Lost fans who have the opportunity to travel to Hawaii. Even after the series ends, Kos will be offering this journey and I highly recommend it to all of you (we chose the 8 hour tour, but they also offer 2 and 5 hour versions).
Have a great day, and thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!
- Jo

Free download software » Information » Avira AntiVir Profesional Antivirus 10.0.0.561
Avira AntiVir Profesional Antivirus 10.0.0.561
Information 2-09-2010, 09:30
Avira AntiVir Profesional Antivirus 10.0.0.561
Avira's AntiVir has been a player in the security world for some time; however, in 2008 its status boomed because of its remarkably strong detection rates. It still remains near the top of independent antivirus efficacy tests, but while the 2009 version more or less kept pace with the competition, the 2010 edition isn't quite as good as it could be.
Both longtime and new users alike will note the pop-up ad that appears whenever a program update is downloading; it has been the unaddressed focus of critical and user dislike for several years. While the occasional ad that interferes with a user's work flow used to be considered tolerable for effective free security, that's no longer the case. Avira's lack of a silent-running entertainment-gaming mode is also noticeable, since so many free and paid competitors now offer the mode.
Except for the most cosmetic of changes, the app's interface is unchanged from version 8. There are new icons on the program's toolbar, a new static image background, and that's about it. The main window offers a left-side navigation menu with drop-down menus and a central pane to see more detailed information. AntiVir opens to the Status menu, informing you of your last scan, your last definition file update, whether the real-time guard is active; however, Avira removed the premium upgrade link in this version. The Events screen logs changes to the program and the Reports tab keeps a history of threats--information from both sections can be exported.
New features are a bit thin in the free version of Avira 10, too. A new generic-repair mode really just takes the choice out of how Avira tells you about the threats it has discovered. In version 9, you could be informed about them in the middle of a scan or at the end; however, now only the latter is available. Windows 7 users now have the capability to run a scan as an administrator directly from the interface, which is a smart, but minor improvement. Avira's installation sequence has been revamped, and now only takes users through five windows. Theoretically, this means it's a five-click installation, but new users will have to complete the registration form. However, its installation file unpacking process appears faster, and you no longer have to reboot after the install.
This isn't to say that AntiVir Free 10 isn't stuffed with robust features. The program offers a wide selection of scan customization, letting users fully scan both internal and external hard drives, run a preloaded scan--for rootkits, for example--or customize a scan. On a real-world computer, the full scan took about 1 hour and 12 minutes, which is average. Avira includes antispyware protections, scanning tech that can crack open "locked" files, improved internal security to prevent AntiVir's files from being maliciously altered, and one-click threat removal--baby-sitting was taken out in the last version.
The Local Protection and Administration navigation options reveal the Scanner, Guard, Quarantine, and Scheduler features. Combined with the Configuration button located at the top of the central pane, users can customize scans as necessary. When Avira quarantines a file, its information is on display along with options to scan it again, restore, delete, and e-mail the file to Avira. The apps rebuilt heuristic engine retains the same choices from the previous version had, and it can be turned on or off in part or in full and offers three intensity levels. Not counting the lively user forums, Avira's included help features are good for a free antivirus app, with mouse-over information on each feature. The scheduler, once a major Avira selling point because it was light-years ahead of other free security suites, has now been caught up to by its competitors.
AntiVir 10 doesn't require a special uninstallation tool, unlike many competitors do. In the end, Avira's free suite makes for an excellent backup suite, but its competitors have since caught up with or surpassed what it can do.

Big East Mount RushmorePosted by Patrick Prendergast on February 22nd, 2012
With all due respect to the legions of legendary players the Big East has produced in its storied history, the Big East has always been a coach's league. This makes perfect sense given that the conference was conceived by, and molded through the eyes of a coach. It was the vision of that coach which propelled the Big East and college basketball to new heights beginning in the early 1980s. The Mount Rushmore of the Big East resides in its foundation and backbone. In many ways these are the four fathers of the conference. They all made long-term and lasting contributions to the league, and their statures grew in-kind with that of the conference as a result. These four men are your pillars.
Dave Gavitt: It is impossible to conceive any reference to the success or history of the Big East without Dave Gavitt at the forefront. A true visionary who gave life to the Big East Conference when he founded it in 1979, Gavitt relinquished a successful coaching career at Providence where he led the Friars to the 1973 NCAA Final Four to devote his attention to building the league as its first commissioner. It is hard to imagine where smaller Catholic schools like Georgetown, St. John's, Providence , Boston College and Villanova would be today without Gavitt's influence. He believed that there was an audience for college basketball, a belief that probably saved the relevance of college basketball in the northeast and one that transcended his league, leading to the national television attention and marketing of the sport as we currently know it.
Jim Calhoun: The long time Connecticut head coach epitomizes the tenets of the Big East. A New England-born no-nonsense guy and tireless worker who always appears ready for a challenge, Calhoun was hired by Connecticut in 1986. He has led the Huskies to three National Championships, including last season's historic double where Connecticut came out of nowhere from a ninth-place regular season conference finish to win both the Big East and NCAA Tournaments. The Huskies have made 22 NCAA tournament appearances and four Final Fours under Calhoun's watch. Further, in this age where football and football money are deemed king, it is important to note that Connecticut has major Division I college football today as a result of the success Calhoun and Connecticut had on the basketball court and not vice versa.

Trolltech also continues to support Greenphone as a reference platform for mobile development within the company and through its partners. The full GPL version of Qtopia Phone Edition will also be configured to run on the Greenphone, a mobile camera phone that can be re-flashed with new and different applications.
A technology preview of Qtopia Phone Edition licensed under the GPL and running on the Neo1973 is available from Trolltech's website. Trolltech anticipates the final release of Qtopia 4.3 to be released in late October.
1. How does Trolltech expect the opening of Qtopia Phone Edition will impact the mobile phone landscape?
Benoit Schillings: Trolltech believes in opening up mobile phone development, so this news serves to underscore our commitment. The Neo 1973 has a good amount of support and interest in the open source community, so by creating Qtopia-based applications that can work on open reference platforms like Greenphone and now, the Neo1973, developers have more choice.
Ultimately, by GPL'ing the last few components of Qtopia Phone Edition, we have given phone manufacturers and the community the possibility of creating phones with a complete open software platform.
2. Are both the touch-screen version and the normal phone versions open sourced?
Benoit Schillings: They are actually the same version. But yes, the 100% GPL version of Qtopia Phone Edition will run on both touch screens and regular. In addition, the Qtopia image we created for the Neo also includes some new user interaction tweaks that take even better advantage of a touch-screen based phone.
3. What is your opinion about the 4-5 different Linux mobile phone groups that exist and compete with each other instead of joining forces to create "killer" platform?
Benoit Schillings: I doubt that this situation will be tenable in the long run and expect to see a lot of consolidation in this area. I also think that if these initiatives were more clear regarding the layering of the work, a lot of overlap and replication could be avoided. Hopefully, this will take place and we will see that these initiatives are more focused on providing discrete components which can be reused across the board instead of trying to create a complete solution from scratch. Finally, you often do see that these initiatives slow down once the competitive aspect of the platform becomes the issue.

The ladies (and men) of Litchfield ditched drab uniforms and cinderblock walls for colorful dresses and a swanky Manhattan hotel this past weekend, when Netflix held a press day for the dramedy's second season in New York City. Nearly all of the series' regulars were on hand for paired two-on-one interviews with journalists, including (deep breath) Danielle Brooks (Taystee) and Samira Wiley (Poussey), Jason Biggs (Larry) and Laura Prepon (Alex), Kate Mulgrew (Red) and Lorraine Toussaint (Vee), Taryn Manning (Pennsatucky) and Michael Harney (Healy), Dascha Polanco (Daya) and Matt McGorry (Bennett), Laverne Cox (Sophia) and Selenis Leyva (Gloria), Yael Stone (Morello) and Natasha Lyonne (Nicky), and Uzo Aduba (Suzanne). Conspicuously absent: series star Taylor Schilling, who was to be teamed with Aduba; according to Netlix reps, she fell ill a few days before the junket.
Naturally, a day spent among this much talent yielded tons of fascinating tidbits about OITNB, the people who make it, and what's in store for season 3—which is already being shot in New York. Read on to find out how to make prison hooch, which actresses initially fought to play each other's characters, Red and Vee's strange pre-lockup connection, and what really went on during Daya and Bennett's closet encounter. (Hint: The words "mons pubis" will be uttered…as will
Why were viewers nearly deprived of a return visit from Poussey and Taystee's delightful white alter-egos? Simple: The show feared driving one of its most popular gags into the ground. "We were kind of like, 'Is this forcing it?'" Danielle Brooks explained. "Obviously not; people enjoyed it. So the writers knew what they were doing!"
Not until shooting for season 1 was nearly over, at least. "It's so funny—so many people picked that up. I saw that everywhere on the internet after season 1, but like, I didn't see it!" she exclaimed. That changed around the end of season 1, when a director told Wiley to look at Taystee differently in a crucial scene: "And only then was I like, 'Oh.'"

Brooks and Wiley, who are close in real life, didn't echo Taystee and Poussey's schism by spending less time together as they shot season 2. As Brooks explained, "With certain characters, you do need to find a deeper space. But when your characters are so connected to who you are, you don't have to go so much outside of yourself." Other OITNB cast members do stay in character even when they're not shooting, though; Wiley cites Kate Mulgrew as an example. (I'd get a taste of that later in the day during my interview with Mulgrew, when she slipped seamlessly into Red's voice to answer a question posed to Lorraine Toussaint.)
"I just talked to my parents this morning," she said. "My parents, they're the freaking greatest, I swear. They knew that I had trepidation about them watching it, and they were like, 'You don't have anything to be ashamed about, Samira. We watched that episode, and it's so clear to us that this is what you're supposed to be doing.' I almost cried this morning." For the record, Brooks is a fan of the Wileys as well: "I talk to her parents to get advice," she told EW.
< ="youtube-p" ="text/" width="640" height="390" ="http://www.youtube.com//EcqcCSFT3uU?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" border="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: line; max-width: 100%;">
The actress had to work her tail off to fake fluency in German—but when asked if she needed joint-rolling lessons as well, Wiley gave a wry smile and an answer that made Brooks cackle in glee: "Naaah." Brooks, in turn, prepared for her character's role in Vee's underground cigarette racket by turning back to an old favorite: "I watched Set It Off, and I was kind of obsessed with Queen Latifah's character. So I kinda just channeled her—but I don't know how to roll no blunt."
Before learning her character's true backstory, Brooks "kind of thought she's going to be a stripper. I thought it was a stripper name… in those beginning episodes in season 1, that's where my mind was going."
According to Wiley: "I'm actually diabetic, so it's just like, water with food coloring and chunks of, like, fruit cocktail, I think. They put something in it to make it taste sweet, and I was like, 'You have to take that out! I can't drink this!'"
The episode's writers got the idea from a contentious game of Taboo that the cast played during a gathering at co-executive producer Lisa Vinnecour's house. "It was so funny, because when we got the episode, we were like, 'Hold up! Was she [the writer] at the house?'" Wiley recalled. She and Brooks played on different teams; they don't remember who won, though each actress is pretty certain it was her team.
He called the ire that his character provokes in Orange watchers "fanimosity;" Prepon noted that he had also coined the phrase "masturbacting" earlier in the day.
Said Biggs: "I get it. It's set up that way, to an extent." He understands that most viewers want Piper to choose Alex over Larry; he gets that his scenes distract from the world of Litchfield and sometimes seem beamed in from an entirely different show. ("The Larry spinoff, which four people would watch.") Still, Biggs will defend his character's decisions, including sleeping with Piper's best friend Polly: "Listen, is that going to make things better? Of course not. But I do believe Larry, all the things he's doing…it is him acting out, it's him trying to take care of himself, being selfish. But I think you're allowed to be kind of selfish, given these extreme circumstances."
Season 2′s first episode followed Piper as she was briefly taken from Litchfield to Chicago to testify against Alex's old boss. According to Prepon, season 3′s premiere won't have a similar conceit; "everybody" is in it, the actress says. And that includes Prepon herself, who's back full time on OITNB next year, after appearing in only a handful of season 2 episodes. "All the girls are so close, I feel like I never left," she said. "Or like I was there all of season 2. We all wanted me to be there for more of season 2."
"It's very unclear at this point, even for me" if Larry will be a part of season 3, said Biggs. "I have not shot anything yet, no." That said, filming on the new season began just a few weeks ago; Larry haters shouldn't breathe a sigh of relief just yet.
After declaring that her interview room was too cold—"It makes me have to pee"—the woman behind Red came to sit on a hallway bench. There, she wondered aloud who had been paired with Prepon for interviews—then scoffed when she heard the answer. "Who comes up with these pairings?" she asked a passing Netflix publicist. "Why is Laura Prepon with Jason Biggs? They have nothing to do with each other!"
< ="youtube-p" ="text/" width="640" height="390" ="http://www.youtube.com//e99SkdcB2UU?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" border="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: line; max-width: 100%;">
Prison counselor Sam Healy may be a misogynist who fears a future in which women run the world and men have been rendered obsolete—but the man who plays him is kind enough to pull a chair out for a journalist before she sits down for an interview. What a mensch!
Albeit not professionally: "I did volunteer work at a prison, at Ossining State Penitentiary. I used to go up and visit a guy and work on his case with the Fortune Society and United Church of Christ many years ago, when I was in college," he said. Both Harney and Taryn Manning, who plays Pennsatucky, said the show has made them think seriously about the importance of prison reform; specifically, Harney name-checked the real Piper's work with the Women's Prison Association, and especially its2nd Chance Campaign.
How'd she keep from spilling the beans about her character's flashbacks for months and months? "Pretty easily," she said matter-of-factly. "I would have been in a lot of f—ing trouble. But yes, I think it's a beautiful storyline, and I'd like to protect it as much as I can. I still feel weird now talking about it, because I"m like, 'Aww, what if people haven't seen it?'"
Stone initially auditioned to play Nicky; Lyonne "wanted to audition for Lorna, but they wouldn't let me, because they already liked me for Nicky." Now, though, the two can't imagine what would have happened if they'd switched roles. "I would be sh– at that [playing Nicky]. My audition was terrible," Stone said.
Clearly, the show's cast relishes the chance to get out of their beige prison garb; interview outfits tended toward bright, colorful dresses paired with sky-high heels. As morning turned into afternoon, though, the show's female cast members started getting a bit more lax about their ensembles; Laverne Cox paired her short, tight dress with a nondescript hoodie, while Danielle Brooks was spotted walking around in a hotel bathrobe and cozy slippers.
In the actors' own words:
McGorry: "My mons pubis, because of the hard part of the banana. You know how bananas work, the anatomy of a banana."
< ="youtube-p" ="text/" width="640" height="390" ="http://www.youtube.com//t26iJ3lIgFY?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" border="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: line; max-width: 100%;">
Yes, McGorry has a role in ABC's upcoming Shonda Rhimes drama How to Get Away With Murder—but that doesn't mean he's off OITNB, at least for now. "I'm in season 3 as well," he confirmed.
And this exchange, too, is too good not to reproduce in full:
While filming Vee's sock-lock attack on Red, Mulgrew was harnessed to a 50-pound camera. "I had to fall, and she had to come right within like, an inch of my face," she explained. "And Lorraine is a stickler for the physical, because she's right—you can easily be hurt if you don't know what you're doing, and this was perilously close." It was also emotionally grueling—though not for Toussaint. "That scene, that slocking, was the only scene I think I did where I completely disassociated. Completely," recalled the actress. "I might as well have been writing a check."
When asked to clarify once and for all, Toussaint just laughed. "They want me to say yes, so I'm going to say yes," she continued. "But…" And with that, she wagged her eyebrows suggestively. Maybe there's a ghost in Litchfield in season 3?
Her character's flashback episode clarified that Suzanne's brand of mental instability isn't just in "the action of acting out—it's the volatility, and more importantly, it's the calm that she can return to after she's done something like beat up Poussey in the shower." And while Aduba still doesn't have a medical diagnosis for Suzanne, the actress says season 2′s third episode didn't make Suzanne seem like a child with mental illness; "I almost feel like, are we talking about a time where we were in the pre-ADHD phase, you know? And is this someone who was not given the attention that they needed?"
During their joint interview, Laverne Cox and Selenis Leyva mused that their characters, Sophia and Gloria, are both allergic to drama; "they just want to do their business," Leyva said. That's especially true of Sophia, whose stature—figurative and literal—keeps her above the fray that absorbs the black inmates when Vee comes to Litchfield. "Everybody has to get their hair done. She doesn't have to play the politics everybody else has to play," Cox said. "Because of her firefighter background, because she's taller than most of the women there, I don't think they're going to bother her. Nobody's going to take Sophia. She doesn't have to prove anything to anyone, really." That's all well and good for the character, though Cox sometimes wishes Sophia weren't quite so stoic: "In real life, Laverne actually likes to stay out of drama too—but as an actor, I love to be in the thick of the drama."
"What I thought was hilarious was, Laverne refuses to talk about anything surgical or below the waist—publicly, anyway; privately I'm very open," the actress and activist explained. "But I thought it was very interesting and ironic that Sophia is like, 'this is what it is.' But there's a lot of transwomen I know who are like that, who are very sort of proud of what they've been able to accomplish in their transitions. They're very proud of their new bodies. And Sophia is that person. So it felt very true to who she is."
While waiting in the hallway before his next interview, a reporter mentioned news of the Oscar winner's casting on OITNB — as well as a report about her character's identity. Unfortunately, the streaming site would neither confirm nor deny details about the role: "That's what TVLine is inferring," a Netflix rep shot back. So much for season 3 scoop.

Don McKay (US - BD RA)
Gabe returns home with Thomas Hayden Church in this noir satire...
High school janitor Don McKay (Thomas Haden Church) left his hometown following an unnamed tragedy, and never looked back. He's lived in relative obscurity for 25 years, and doesn't intend on returning until the day he receives a mysterious letter from his high school sweetheart Sonny (Elisabeth Shue). Don cautiously takes a bus back home again, where he learns Sonny is dying of an unspecified condition. Sonny reveals her undying love to Don, and asks him to marry her before she dies. But there's something fishy about her story, and her creepy healthcare providers make Don uneasy.
Don McKay gets off to a rough, and muddled start, and I certainly wouldn't blame potential viewers losing interest and giving up. As the story unravels the drama threatens to keel over into self parody, and continuously contradicts itself tonally. Characters are emotionally stunted, hiding their pasts, but they constantly spill giant spoonfuls of over-share all over each other. The dialogue is perfectly natural, but everyone talks about stuff no one watching could possibly care about. I'm assuming writer/director Jake Goldberg is going for sort of Coen Brothers meet David Lynch thing, and the weird tone does mostly pay off when the plot takes an unexpected twist about 20 minutes into the listlessness. A sudden act of violence sets off an entirely different feature experience, and I finally figured out I was watching a semi-satirical take on classic American noir. The awkward speech patterns and character traits don't really change, but the slightly slapstick take on violence definitively reveals a genuine comedic intent on Goldberg's part. I almost wanted to stop the movie and start it over right there, but was suddenly stricken enough by the story I couldn't stop before everything was revealed. Re-watching the film with Goldberg's director's commentary track playing, and all the final act reveals in mind, it's clear everyone is playing a double role, which makes the stilted atmosphere more pertinent.
In the end Don McKay (which is an incredibly boring and somewhat misleading title, by the way) is no modern equivalent to The Big Sleep or Double Indemnity, but it fits the pulpy bill, and fills a need I didn't know I had. I can't say I had any specific idea where the story was going to twist next, which is more than I can say for even most good movies I've seen over the last year, and I laughed out loud with more regularity than I have at most straight comedies. The film doesn't quite compare with hard-boiled re-appropriations like Rian Johnson's Brick, which features more traditional noir dialogue, or The Big Lebowski, which is filtered through a more original modern prism, but on it's own, less experimental terms Don McKay works once it finds it's grove. Goldberg certainly has an eye for casting, though I suppose most of his actors are cast for type, including the continuously underappreciated Thomas Haden Church, who plays one of the best deadpan shlubs in modern cinema. Typed or not, the cast plays their heightened, hard boiled roles (Church is the guy returning to his dark past, Elisabeth Shue is the femme fatale, etc) without chewing too much scenery.
Don McKay aims for mostly low-key visuals, but that doesn't mean this particular 1080p transfer isn't worth the time. The noir feeling isn't an overt visual element, but is stirred into the mix enough to make for some interesting contrasts and highlights. Most scenes are under-lit, with soft, source aping key-lights. This darkness leads to some thoroughly deep blacks, especially in interior close-ups, where faces are halved by light and dark. Details are as sharp as the focus allows in a given shot, but save the occasional medium shot the majority of the film is made up of shots with very specific focal points. The palette choices aren't overtly neo-noir by any means, but there are consistent stylistic touches, such as a slight greening or amber tinting, and popping primary elements. The overall grain inherit in the transfer, and the shallow focus make for some slightly fuzzy transitions, and less than needle point sharp edges, but I'm mostly left to assume that everything looks exactly as intended. The framing looks occasionally a little too tight on all sides, but I have no actual proof of misalignment, so I'm left to assume things are as intended.
This disc comes fitted with a rather soft, simple, low volume, low maintenance DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack. The characters all speak at a whisper (up until the poop hits the fan, at least), the interior shots feature almost no sound effects outside of simple folley and set recorded sound, and external scenes aren't much more intense. I didn't notice very many effects coming from anywhere other than front and center, save a few moving vehicles, and a cabby knocking frantically from the trunk of a car via the right channel. The music flutters through the dialogue heavy, and mood setting sequences, whispering much like the actors on screen, but composer Steve Bramson really lets it rip when things go badly for the title character. The more expressive musical moments are the track's only real aural highlights, earning the stereo and surround channels with traveling dissonance, and the LFE with throbbing bass. The soundtrack also features a few Motown favourites, which have been warmly mixed into the front channels, with a decent bass punch, and rear channel echo.
The rather brief extras begin with a commentary track from director Jake Goldberger and producer Jim Young. This track is pretty much fills the basic requirements of a commentary track. It's engaging in terms of tone, which is serious enough to get the facts out, but amusing and playful enough to not grow too stale. Every time the discussion threatens to devolve into the usual 'it was so good working with (blank)' fluff, Goldberger manages to whip out a funny, self-effacing anecdote. There's very little wasted space, a story to tell, and not a lot of subject overlap. The disc also includes a collection of deleted scenes (4:50, SD). These mostly cover unnecessary little chunks of exposition. Extras end with the original trailer, which sells the film as a straight thriller.
Don McKay kicks off weak, but picks up after about 20 minutes, and is in general a nice surprise that deserves an audience. It's unfortunate that Image is selling the film as a straight thriller, because it's actually very funny in a very dry fashion, and successfully pays homage to classic, hard boiled film noir. I can't really recommend a blind purchase, but do recommend a rental for impatient Coen Brothers fans looking to film the time between releases. The Blu-ray is relatively impressive visually, but doesn't feature a whole lot of scope in the sound department. The extras feature a very playful and amusing audio commentary, which gives a good excuse for a second viewing.

I noticed the price tags on this blu-ray disc are pretty high. Can't fathom why they would do that with a movie that is already this low key. I might rent this one on a slow day or keep an eye out for it on Netflix instant watch.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed he plans to be active in the January transfer window in order to bolster his 'thin' squad.
Liverpool came in for criticism after the close of the summer transfer window for failing to add to their squad after the addition of Samed Yesil the day before deadline day.
The main concern for the Merseyside club is surely the lack of firepower they possess up front, with Andy Carroll's loan switch to West Ham leaving them with Luis Suarez and Fabio Borini as their only senior forwards.
Now with the latter out injured for up to three months, Rodgers faces a nervous wait until the transfer window opens in January before he can add to his squad.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, the former Swansea manager confirmed he has spoken to Liverpool's owners about adding reinforcements in January in order to add some depth to his squad.
"There are still areas we want to reinforce - and we have to reinforce as soon as we can," he said.
"Our best team are comparable to any team in the Premier League. But we're a very thin squad and we are having to challenge on a lot of fronts.
"I've had good conversations with the owners and they understand where we are at as a team."
Liverpool have been linked with a host of attacking players ahead of the January transfer window, with reports today linking both Darren Bent and Loic Remy with a move to Anfield.

Any updates MichaelB on the Mezzo 90? Interested in your opinion and how it compares to the Forza Di2
Just about to start the writeup this weekend. Have now done in excess of 800km and plenty of climbing
In a few words, "well worth the extra money". That was at $3,599, but now on sale for $2,999 making it even better.
Had one forum member come over for a quick try and he compared it favourably to his BMC SLR01 in terms of how the rear end feels transferring the power and soaking up the bumps.
Stay tuned
BUT BUT the sale ends Oct 30th! Which is only a few days away!
$2999 is a great price, for what you get, I really need to take one for a test ride, might call them later and see if i can arrange one.
Im 73kgs, 170cm. Size small is the best fit for me i'm guessing
Other bikes i've been looking at are the Trek Madone 5.9 Ultegra di2 which can be had under $4k
Finally, in the specs its listed the cassette as a 11-23T, is this an error and it should be 11-25T?

May 20:
Beautiful!!! We received the rings last week and we just love them. read more
May 12:
"... I must say that this ring is extremely poweful. ..read more..."
Luck is the outcome of your own creative thinking, be it good or bad. The Universe is there to help you realize your every thought.
Some call it destiny, fate, karma, inevitability, choice, free will.
However, most of us human beings do not use our free will. Most of us just hang in there and let the outer world decide. Most people create no thoughts, and are prone to the randomness of nature, and the thoughts of others.
That is the reason why religions are so successful; religions prevent you from thinking for yourself. The priests will think for you, will issue rules, and will tell you what to think. Religions take away your own creativity.
For the same reason armies exist, the soldier stops to think, all he has to do is follow orders. For this reason also factory workers go meekly to work at 8 and stay there till 6. They don't have to create anything by themselves; they only have to do what is told them.
It is laziness of the mind and ignorance of the truth that decides how lucky or unlucky one is.
This is where amulets and talismans come in. We all know what a good luck charm is. What a talisman is, or an amulet. These are items that bring luck, they help to avoid troubles, they help to find the way you like the best to go.
How do they work? How can a rabbit foot, or a four-clover leaf, a horseshoe, bring luck to the owner? The truth is that they don't work by themselves. Truth is that the owner of the amulet produces his own luck. The amulet is only help, a guide, and a channel through which the owners' thoughts are bundled towards the goal.
Everything in the material world has begun as a thought. Be it a car, a radio, a piece of jewelry or a dollar bill. Someone had to think it first, then word it, and then make it.
[The statement that the Word was First is incorrect. First was the Thought. ]
So with luck, good or bad, it has to be created by the thinker. An amulet, charm or talisman helps the owner to direct his thoughts to create the desired result. Another little known fact is that wishful thinking never produces the result one wishes for. As all thoughts are received by the Universe, it immediately goes to work to create your reality. While you carry the item that you are thinking brings you good health, the good health is being created by the Universe you are in. Or luck or money or a friend or anything.
There are also shapes and forms that work by themselves. Like the pyramid, which seems to preserve anything that is inside. Like the Atlantis ring that by its unique form seems to emit waves that protect the owner. The five-pointed star is believed to protect, hence its appearance on military shoulders, vehicles, nations flags, Heineken beer labels, Texaco oil company logo, cognacs and hotels.
Through times amulets for specific results are constructed in certain shapes and forms.
We are proud to offer you a range of amulets (with the
Atlantis ring
as one of the best), charms and talismans for any and all desired results. The secret of the effectiveness is to carry the item and then forget about it. Once the wish, or desire is received by the Universe, you have to stop interfering, so that the Universe can work it out for you. As long you keep your thoughts on it, the Universe cannot do its work.

In the fast-paced world of startups and small businesses, every advantage helps. Whether it's pricing or product or promotion, there is tremendous uncertainty from day to day.
It's no surprise, then, that we look toward any avenue to shed light on things. Even so, you might be surprised to learn that entrepreneurs are looking to video games for direction.
The term is "gamification." Or to break it out: "game-if-eh-cation."
It means the application of gaming mechanics and principles into actual business practices, specifically the installation of scoring, levelling up and people's innate desire to upgrade.
So how can video games relate to business? Well, there are a lot of parallels, and, even if you didn't know it, you've been subject to them for years.
Loyalty cards are a good example. When I scan my Kroger Plus card, I earn (game) points that I can redeem for (game) prizes.
When a sales supervisor offers a reward for highest conversion rates each week, she's gamifying her sales team.
And when American Express sends you a Gold Card Membership, they're leveling you up, just like a game would do to encourage activity in a certain direction.
OK, you get the point. But does it work? Well, it's not just entrepreneurs gamifying things. Coke, AOL, Dell, Nike, Viacom and just about every other major brand has some level of embedded gamification going on. In 2011, "gamification" was even added to the Oxford Dictionary.
Online it's even more prevalent. The system of users makes every interaction a gaming opportunity, and Facebook, Twitter, Groupon and the lot are all finding more and more ways to use this tactic to drive user engagement.
While the cynic in me is a little put off by the idea of some armchair psychologist coming up with ways to treat me like I'm a player in a game, I'd be a fool to think I can avoid it. Gamification isn't new. It's at the heart of capitalism, i.e. money, status, property.
Really, the only thing new is the explosion of the term's usage and the emerging technologies that allow deeper and deeper integration of "players" into these "games."
My advice is to give gamification some thought in regards to your own business. Whether it's customer or employee motivation, coming up with a reward structure might just get people to play your "game" better, faster or longer, whichever you're going for.
If nothing else, it might shed new light on your current efforts and open up avenues you didn't know were there.

Here's an odd story from the New York Post, about former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan and his (ex) girlfriend, the pretty gal who used to be married to Eddie Murphy.
According to the Post, Strahan suspected the Murphy lady was stepping out on him so he went and installed one of those fancy tracking devices in her Range Rover to constantly monitor where she was going. The device was discovered by an auto mechanic during a routine check-up, and this apparently precipitated an ugly end to the relationship. And to think they looked so chummy last New Year's.
The Post also says this isn't the first time Strahan used this type of tactic to keep up on his women — his ex-wife alleged in their divorce suit that Strahan tapped her phone. But she's a little nutty, so who knows if that's true or not.
To make matters worse for Strahan, it appears the Murphy Lady was actually seeing someone else. Some hot-shot A & R executive with Universal named Demetrius Spencer. Don't be surprised if Spencer gets an unexpected visit from the Glaze-Dog in the next couple weeks.
(And, yes, there are a lot of boobs on the site today. I assure you this is purely coincidental.)

I had this same idea and did some research. Here are some of my findings of pets that have attacks strong against a particular family and are of a family who takes less damage (though this of course isn't foolproof as many pets have several attacks from a different family).
Note this is strictly about damage strengths/advantages, other utility/healing not included because on most families the 'counters' are extremely limited
Aquatic: Jade Owl (Magic with a good bit of flying damage) though it isn't extremely easy to get, Enchanted Broom has a little flying damage as an alternative. I believe uncommon is the only quality for either (pre-battle stones)
Beast: Haven't found one, not sure there is a flyer with mechanical damage.
Critter: Flayer Youngling (humanoid with good beast damage). Curious Wolvar pup has one attack at level 10 as an alternative
Dragonkin: Scourged Whelpling (Undead with one CD and one channeled humanoid damage ability)
Elemental: Any Snail (Not a solid counter, as though it is a critter, its one Aquatic ability is a level 20 with a CD)
Flying: As you mentioned, the Sprite Darter Hatchling is a glaringly strong counter
Humanoid: Maggots or Spiders (Both are beasts with an undead 'life leech' like ability. Not particular strong though)
Magic: Mechanical Pandaren Dragonlilng (mechanical with one spammable dragonkin attack), think it is only uncommon
Mechanical: Most any elemental, as elementals are both strong offensively and defensively against Mechanicals. I prefer the Phoenix hatchling so far.
Undead: Most Toads (Aquatic with good critter damage)
Hope that helps.

Her photos turn hats into artworks
'Nearly Forgotten' speaks to people of the past and present
His name may have been William, John or Charles. You may have seen him walking down Main Street -- perhaps headed to his job at one of the many hat factories in Danbury back in the 1800s. He might have been wearing breeches, a waistcoat and high pointed boots. And resting on his head would probably have been a tall black top hat.
The 19th century top hat -- or rather, a photograph of one -- is one of the 18 hats in "Nearly Forgotten," an exhibit of black-and-white photographs arranged by New Fairfield photographer Catherine Vanaria. The exhibit, which is featured at the Gallery at Still River Editions in Danbury, is open through Sept. 27.
The gallery is inside Connecticut Photographics, a 26-year-old film processing, printing and digital scanning business Vanaria owns with her husband, Mark Savoi.
The exhibit contains two different types of hat photos: Some are tissue paper prints Vanaria photographed from hats she found in the archives at the Danbury Museum and Historical Society. These include a woman's pill box hat and a man's straw hat. Others are photos of hats she found at local tag and estate sales. These photos are of a wide variety of hats from different time periods, taken all over the world. They include a hat with a pointed object protruding from it and a netting hat covering someone's entire head.
Vanaria said she became interested in the archives at the Danbury museum as a way to reestablish her connection to her past. "I grew up in Brewster (N.Y.), but Danbury was the big metropolis for shopping for my family. We shopped at Feinson's, Genung's, and Markoff's and I took music lessons at Carvette's on White Street," said Vanaria, 57, an assistant professor of photography at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
Vanaria offered to digitally document the hats at the museum, and while doing so, she began thinking of the concept of memory -- and how foggy it can become.
"If you put three people in the same room and had them all experience the same event, you'll get three different interpretations of it. When you add time to the equation, you forget the details of the memory even more," she said.
Through her exhibit, Vanaria said she is presenting memory in a physical form in order to preserve it for future generations.
Many hat styles from the 1940s seem to be returning, Vanaria remarked. One of them is the fedora, "which younger people are wearing, like (celebrity) Johnny Depp. The fedora looks like the standard-image fashion hat I've seen a lot of in the archives," she said.
"Cathy has been volunteering here for years and has photographed items from our archives to our textile collection to the buildings themselves. She has a creative eye and she brings in an artistic explanation of the subject. When she takes photos, she transforms objects into pieces of art and into pieces that really speak to the people of the past, but also speak to us in the present," said Brigid Guertin, executive director of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society. "Her images are absolutely beautiful and stunning to view."
Vanaria said she's concerned at the rate photographic prints are beginning to disappear.
"With the current craze in digital, what ends up happening is most people are only looking at photos on their laptops, computer screens and iPhones. The family album is disappearing," said Vanaria. "A lot of people don't realize the limitations of digital. When digital crashes, you lose everything. You have to preserve your photographs because if you don't, you're losing your entire family history.
"I don't think we can survive without art. It's born in us from the moment kids start drawing and parents start putting up their drawings on refrigerators. I really think we are all born creative.
"Our future choices are the things that either quash that creativity or push that creativity," she said. "Which road do you want to take?"
