Orientation Gallery
Begin your visit to the museum in the Noble Corporation and Noble Energy Orientation Gallery. This interactive gallery will provide insight into the behind-the-scenes work of our museum's collections and research departments and answer the questions "What does the museum do?" "Why do they do it?" And "How does it get done?" Learn about the ongoing research of museum scientists, and get a glimpse at some of the most spectacular objects in the museum's extensive collections.
As you enter this gallery you will meet
Sauroposeidon proteles
, the world's tallest dinosaur, whose 40-foot-long neck and skull peek into the museum's Great Hall to greet visitors. Several neck bones of this one-of-a-kind dinosaur were found in southeast Oklahoma in 1994. Each neck bone measures more than 3 feet in length, but is incredibly light. In places the bone is no thicker than a fingernail.

A strong round of storms pushed through Siskiyou County and the Klamath Basin Wednesday afternoon and evening. Storm reports included heavy rain, ponding in roads, small hail and strong winds. Between 0.30″-1″ of measurable rain was recorded from some of these cells.
The showers and storms died down quickly as the sun went down and we are starting off with clear skies over inland areas. This is going to allow for a lot of daytime heating into the afternoon and will fuel the round of showers/storms anticipated into this evening. This will be east of the Cascades and over Siskiyou County. The Cascades should stay mostly dry but you really can't rule out a shower or storm here as well. Once again, threats will include strong winds, heavy rain and small hail.
The thunder and lightning threat will expand to include West Side Valleys for Friday. Any storms here should be isolated but it does appear we could see storm development. By Saturday, we should catch a break region wide. Sunday could then bring isolated storms again.
The heat will be ongoing throughout the weekend and into next week. In fact, next week is looking even warmer than current temperatures. We may be exceeding 100 again by Tuesday and Wednesday. This is still a ways out though and could certainly change.
If you'd like more on your local weather, would like to inform me of storm reports or would like to share pictures ..head to my Facebook and/or Twitter!

Friday's Future Wing: Mitch Callahan
Friday's Future Wing: Teemu Pulkkinen
Tatar Signs Three-Year Extension
Following a breakout season, Tomas Tatar, 23, signed a three-year, $8.25 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
Tatar, a native of Ilava, Slovakia, was drafted in the second round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. After being drafted at No. 60 overall, Tatar spent his first three years playing for the Grand Rapids Griffins in the American Hockey League. Read More…
Coaching Extensions and Departures
The Red Wings franchise goes much deeper than just the players that put on the Winged Wheel night in and night out. Beyond the hunt for free agents, the formulation of contracts and devising a plan to meet the salary cap, general manager Ken Holland alongside head coach Mike Babcock work to create both a great dynamic in the Wings locker room as well as their AHL affiliates.
Beyond Babcock and Holland is a long list of coaches and developers that help create young prospects into NHL superstars. The Red Wings have lived by a motto of playing three years in the AHL before playing in the NHL.

Mmmmnnnn I'm sampling from my carbing keg periodically. This stout is great. It's definitely a quaffer and if I had this stuff on nitro I would probably begin to start pissing black lol... Good stuff RICLARK, two thumbs up in my book.

apparently not...
On mine I didn't want it to be too sweet so I mashed at 154, that way I still get some body but should end up a bit drier.
Canadian North,"I'm keen to give this recipe a try. Think I can use raw barley (hulled) instread of flaked barley? Would a cereal mash be required? thanks!!!" Threw the articles I've read Guiness now uses raw whole barely and then mills it with the rest of the grain because they have new extremely hard mill heads. In the past they have used flaked barely. I would be worried about your mill a little bit if leaning twards the raw whole barely.
To me, having a dry stout with that high IBU 's you would need it to be a little sweet to balance out the harshness of the grain and hops. IIRC it was in Pappa Charlies book The Home Brewers Companion that he tells how to put the "tang " in a Guiness clone by souring and pastuerizing a portion of stout to add to the finished brew.

Rosenhan (Abridged)Let me introduce myself. You can call me Rosenhan.I may be just like you. I'm eighteen years old, I go to college, I do many of the same things you probably do or will do. I went to an art school for creative writing with several scholarships and awards for my writing. Then I dropped out to become a psychology major. I currently work under the recreational therapist in the child psychiatry department at a local hospital, where I help run groups with children ages six through twelve.I am training to become a psychologist myself. But I am also a patient.In my freshman year of college, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, a genetic disorder of emotions characterized by abnormally high periods called mania and abnormally low periods called depression. I have been hospitalized two times since then. Being in a mental institution is, surprisingly, not the worst thing that could happen to a person. Like I said: I may be just like you.The air was crisp and cool. It was September; school h

The TypewriterThe TypewriterIt began and ended with a word.Not a particularly strong or powerful word, but a word that changed everything. It wasn't too long or difficult to spell. It wasn't uncommon either. In fact, it was a perfectly ordinary word, but, I suppose, its commonplace origin is what made it so special.I loved that word.But the word doesn't mean much without the story along with it and I was always one for telling good stories. "Brilliant!"I ignored the call from the other room and remained seated. That tone wasn't unfamiliar. Taking a bite from my toast, I waited for him to call again. It wouldn't be more than ten—"Sammy! Come quickly! I've gone an' done it!" he shouted. I turned just as he poked his head into the room with a bright smile across his face."What did you do?" I asked as I walked towards his study. Chris had said those same words nearly twelve times this week. Every other day he had called me in for some discovery.I pushed open the door t
Anything you can find:"They're wicked," whispers Deputy Mack, when he thinks we aren't listening. "Beautiful, but wicked."It makes Noah smirk from the front desk, where Clara Wynn, the dispatcher, is sneaking him sips from her hip flask while she profiles him. DePrince, she writes, Noah Thomas. Age: 12. Hair: Black. She puzzles over the color of his eyes before penning gray on the line, a rarity that gives us an edge, which we use like a scalpel. Noah flickers eyes like new nickels whenever we want something. Today is the Friday after the funeral and we are sick for answers, so we ask Clara if she will take our mug shots."I'll find some film," she says, disappearing into the back room. The door taps shut behind her. Deputy Mack and Sheriff Spellis are still arguing about us in the office, their voices a low rumble of contention, so we slip off our chairs and spread out through the station."Obituaries, photos, police reports," says Noah, fanning a stack of files across the desk. "Hur
The Price of Dying"I want to be interred after I die," Mr. Peters said. He made that clear to his family while he was still lucid, before old age and illness rendered him unintelligible. Seventy wasn't that old, but he recognized the symptoms that were creeping up on his ailing body – the aches, the fatigue, the feeling of helplessness and despair. Despite his daughter's attempts to assuage his concerns, he sensed his own mortality.The worst part about dying, Mr. Peters thought, was what happened afterwards. Even since he was a small boy, he had been afraid of fire. He could never forget the scorching heat of the orange flames searing his skin, the dark billowing smoke entering his nostrils. The time that his house burned down, the fire almost took him with it. How ironic then, to escape the fire only to be fed into it after death.So one day, he sat his son and daughter down after dinner. "I want to be buried whole," he said, emphasizing the
The Lost PianistThe Lost PianistTears reminisce mahogany boxed memories,Of ecstatic crescendos and tearful diminuendos.For deep in eternal sadness lies the lost pianist,Who once dreamt of glorious symphonies.As he caresses the goddess of the piano,She moans of rhythmic joy and pleasure,Executing works that rival the Siren's song,Echoing the lost voices of her past masters.But in time's command, their hearts went astray.Each lying in their own pool of heartfelt miseries.While he walks asunder, away from melodic Eden,She beckons to him, yearning to be loved.Her sorrowful notes whisper his name,When he contemplates sweet nostalgia.They swore to eternity to unite in bliss.A promise that surpasses a mere forevermore.<i>
The Finest Casket (Complete Story)The chandlers, grocers, butchers, clothiers, and every other merchant in Chantsville was yelling in the streets outside the shop where I was studiously working. Their ruckus combined with the bleats and squawks of livestock wandering underfoot, creating a bustling racket that would drive the unfamiliar ear to distraction.I was used to the noise, however, and I was so engrossed in my work that I would have sworn the world was silent save for the sound of my chisel biting into the cedar box before me. Delicate curls fell from my worktable, collecting in small drifts upon the dirt floor.I stopped to wipe sweat from my face. The pause gave me a moment to step back and survey my work.Yes, the casket was coming along beautifully. I had mitered the joints meticulously. I had planed it smooth as glass before tracing out the panels on each side. I had spent days, chisel in hand, carving the scenes into the wood, and the entire workshop smelled strongly of cedar.It was almost done, and the c
He WavesHe waves. It's a friendly little gesture, almost a two finger salute to an old friend. He's watching you through your window.Strange.The Boy has fine, burnt umber hair that shines like silk in the midmorning sun. It's almost a shame to see it in the unisex, unflattering buzz cut of the OldGens. He is obviously one of them; the OldGens. No self-respecting NewGen would be caught dead in this kind of state muddy face, torn knees, his empty collection sack over his shoulder. It is the NewGens who are expected to keep themselves neat and orderly. They are the only ones for whom it is worthwhile doing so.Strange.As a NewGen child, you have been raised to behave exactly as your parents tell you. And your parents behave the way the GenWatch tells them. But in all your years, the one thing they have not been able to straighten out of you is your curiosity. So you stand up. You leave your desk exactly the way it's not meant to be covered with unfinished homework and you
FFM15: Agent BlackI make a HALO jump from 35,000 feet out of a Raptor, and the ground looks no different from the sky. Above and below, there is only an endless expanse of black, dotted with tiny twinkles of light. Gravity shows me which way is down, and I keep an eye on my altimeter as unseen Brazilian soil rushes up towards me. I'd feel more comfortable about the whole thing if I could at least see the ground, but I dare not risk detection.I dive in alone, with no traditional weapons to speak of aside from my knife and wits. I'm this country's worst nightmare, and I don't need guns or bombs. My technology is older than all of that, and far superior. Even the Nazis looked into it, though their work pales in comparison to what the American government has done with the idea in the past decade.The altimeter begins to blink in the dark, and I deploy my parachute, drifting slowly down into the barren fields of the Amazon wasteland.

Never ToldHe thinks it's odd, sometimes, though he's not certain why.A sense of dislocation, perhaps. Like cutting yourself on an unsharpened blade. He walks the immense aisles of the cathedral, footsteps echoing hollowly into the blue shadows of high vaulted ceilings and arches, stone figures watching him from above as he, in turn, watches dawn play across their carved and weathered faces. The grandeur of this place is oddly soothing in the solitude it affords him. A holy place, just hushed, here suspended in the silence after Mattins when most have shuffled out. It's a favorite moment of his, a favorite service to attend, and today it gives him pausethere is training, and paperwork, and a squire for him to wake and a council meeting and a king, but he lets himself linger nonetheless. Just for a heartbeat, just for a heartbeat.Hal smoothes his fingers over the well-worn coolness of a granite pillar, and he passes it by for the window beyond it, so familiar. He tilts his head back to
Conversation"I am driving in a Hummer. I am on a two lane highway. I was listening to Counting Crows before panic threatened to cut off my air supply. Air supply is a band. I have no idea what they sing. I'm pretty sure they were a clue on Jeopardy once. I…I…have to pull over so I can breathe."Omar put on his blinker and steered the over-compensation-mobile to the shoulder of the road. He fumbled with the lock on the door and his heart felt like it was going to burst through his chest when he tried to get out of the car and couldn't. Seatbelt. It was just the seatbelt. His hands were slick with cold sweat by the time the belt whizzed cheerfully back into its place and he managed to slide out onto the shoulder of the road.He was glad it was so late and glad that the highway was so deserted. He was trembling so hard that the change in his pockets rattled and he never would have been able to speak if someone had pulled up and offered to help. He hated for people to witness his panic.
The Importance of Gold FlecksHereditary. I learned the meaning of the word when I was young on a summer afternoon. Too hot to play outside, I was sitting with my dad on our blue couch with the small white polka dot fabric. In retrospect, it was probably a tacky piece of furniture, but love is unconditional when you are small, and I sure did love that couch. I remember my dad watching Winnie the Pooh with me every Saturday morning on its spotted cushions. That day, though, we had a conversation about eyes that I never forgot, and even then, its deeper meaning was not lost on me. "Daddy, your eyes are green like a cat's," I said.He smiled, and told me that mine were also green, but unlike his, they changed colors. "Sometimes they are blue. Your eyes were so blue when you were a baby! Big and blue.... Someti

Lament of an AtheistI cut candles straight down their waxy centerjust by looking into the flame. Slick peels ofhoneycomb melt into my palm and blister skin.Then the world ricochets forward.I plummet back into my body and there'sa thick distortion in audio. A constant pulse atthe back of my eyes, tuned to the rhythm of yourheartbeat. I look for traces of you, but,God, you're lost.Leaves fall as paper lanterns from wooden fingers.Spiraling upwards on the breath of cosmos, backto Heaven, lit like the sun on a marvelous azurebackdrop. I needed your wisdom, but all is gone.Christ, you're dead.Atheists are not meant to love. Realists are notmeant for passion. Idealists are the dreamersof their own demise; only they can make ithappen.A man once told me that the astute make terriblelovers, but I'll fight that to the bitter end.

Sharmane Sykes-Harper is a single mother of four, so it is no surprise she has a long Christmas list, but one toy took priority this year. "Dora was definitely at the top of my list because she's a real hot commodity and she goes really quick," she said.
Sykes-Harper is one of four students to receive Wal-mart gift cards from the college's Holiday Helpers program. With funding from local businesses, the program is aimed at students with families. More than 100 students applied.
"Many of our students, they are going to school, often they're working, and when the holidays come along they are very stressed on how they can provide holiday help for their families," said CFCC's Kay Warren.
Sykes-Harper grabbed a shopping cart and headed down the aisles hoping to check some items off her list. Among her purchases were clothing and toys. "I tried to get what I could, but you know, like I said, I'm blessed so whatever I don't have the Lord will provide it for me."
Warren said this program is a gift that keeps on giving. "It has made everyone feel so good to truly know what the spirit of Christmas is all about."
Sykes-Harper said she feels lucky to have the financial help during the holidays and said it's an experience she'll remember for a long time.
In addition to financial donations from local businesses, Lowe's Food donated turkeys and a boutique in Raleigh donated clothing to make this all possible.

If I am standing in a bush, and ziggs throws his little 10 bomb slow thing behind me, the little bombs are completely invisible. Both myself and the bombs are occupying the same bush while Ziggs is not. I can walk over and recieve damage & slow with explosion animation, but no bombs are visible to be skillfully avoided. I have to extrapolate/guess which ones have been popped either by myself or teammates.

What if physical abilities and attacks cast from fog of war reveal the attacker, but abilities that deal magic damage do not reveal the attacker? The projectiles for both types of damage would be be visible of course. e.g. If Khazix Qs from a bush he would be revealed while if Malphite does his Q, he would not be revealed, although the path the ability takes would be visible.

I don't like this at all. You want to make it easier for new people, but that force all the current players to relearn how bushs work, and how bush fights would play out.
In my opinion nothing you do in the brush should reveal you, you should remain hidden the whole time your are within the brush. Also I think while you are in the brush your area of view should be reduced, by doing so you can reduce the hassle of nidalee's spear, causing her to be near the edge of the brush instead of being somewhere within the area. giving the victim a better chance of launching a counter attack. Another thing that I think would give the brush a better feeling , is that when you walk into it you shouldn't be able to see your enemies inside it. The brush should force you to try and find them inside of it. In my opion these changes would help better the experience of League of Legends.

I'm for what people call skillshots not revealing the champion and for point and click skills to reveal the champion. I also think that in the case of Nunu's ult, it shouldn't reveal. The reason for that is that Nunu in general doesn't have much damage. He can provide a slow every 5 or so seconds, but that isn't even hard cc. Removing the advantage of being invisible while ulting in brush would damage Nunu's potential more.

what about oracle/reveal stacking not working vs invisibility stacking? Prime scenario: Teemo hides in bush for a few seconds and goes stealth. Now Ashe wonders in with oracles and uses her vision to see who's in the bush. She still wont see Teemo unless she steps INTO the bush with him. Oracles will not reveal a bush hiding teemo despite range because of the way the reveal mechanics work.

Expanding to the east, the Rogers LTE network is now live in St. John's making Rogers the first carrier to bring the fastest wireless speeds in Canada to Newfoundlanders. We're now offering LTE to a total of 11 million Canadians and we'll double our coverage this year with plans to expand to more than 25 cities in 2012, including Halifax and surrounding areas.

The future of television has arrived: Rogers introduces NextBox 2.0
Do you still rush home to catch your favourite show live or hope that no one else has called "shot-gun" on the good couch…or the remote control?
Those days are a thing of the past. Today, we're introducing the next big thing in TV from Rogers: NextBox 2.0, a suite of new features for Rogers cable customers in Ontario that delivers a TV without borders experience, any time, in any room of your home.
What's new?
- Whole Home PVR: Now with a single PVR, you can watch your recorded shows from any TV in your home with a NextBox HD Terminal. Why it's cool? Let's pretend I'm a huge fan of The Bachelor (who's pretending? I love it!). I've recorded it and can't wait to see the most dramatic rose ceremony yet, but I'm dozing off on the couch. Now I can seamlessly switch the show to the bedroom and watch the big reveal in the comfort of my bed. You can even watch the same recorded programs in up to 4 rooms at once.
- Rogers Live TV: Stream 22 live TV channels on your iPad or Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet using your home Wi-Fi connection. Why this is a life changer? Say I'm watching a cooking show and instantly get inspired to whip up a dish along with the TV host; I can switch the live show to my tablet into the kitchen and live stream the show while I embark on my culinary adventure.
- An enhanced interactive TV guide: A sleek and intuitive new HD interface, with advanced search capabilities. Why do I love this? Because I can customize and build personalized channel guides and easily search for that show everyone is buzzing about, while never losing sight of the current episode. The new on demand portal makes it easier to check out what's new on Rogers On Demand Channel 100.
- More tailored cable and internet packages: Usage-based packaging options. What does this mean? It means I can choose the services best suited to my TV and internet needs. All packages come with a discounted monthly TV service, NextBox 2.0 free for 6 months and a PVR Extender that allows you to record and store even more of your favourite shows! Whether you watch a little TV or a lot, there's a variety of packages available to suit your needs.
With NextBox 2.0 home entertainment is now on your schedule and on the screen of your choice. Speaking of entertainment on any screen of your choice, Rogers On Demand Online has a new name: Rogers Anyplace TV.
It's still your online entertainment destination or your favourite on-demand primetime TV shows, kids programming, specialty channels, movie rentals, and live streaming sports action – just with a different name. The new name captures the next step in TV entertainment. It's about streaming sports action while you're commuting or enjoying the latest episode of 30 Rock on your mobile when you're waiting in line. It's entertainment right at your fingertips.
In addition to watching your favourite programming online on your PC, you can also watch on your smartphone, tablet and Xbox 360.
Got a special place in your heart for Rogers On Demand? Your favourite On Demand hotspot on channel 100 will be keeping the Rogers On Demand name alive.
You'll be able to see the new name starting now at RogersAnyplaceTV.com and over the next couple months, you'll start to see the name changing for the mobile app and Xbox platforms.
Which room do you think is the best for TV viewing? Join the discussion on Twitter by using or following #NextBox.
UPDATE (February 27, 2012, 6:43 a.m): Looking for more information on NextBox 2.0? Take a look at this video to see it in action:
UPDATE (February 29, 2012, 4:18 p.m): If you are an existing Rogers Digital TV customer with a NextBox HD Terminal (Cisco 4642) and/or NextBox HDPVR (Cisco 8642) and wish to get the new guide, just complete the form here: www.rogers.com/enhancedguide to upgrade to the Rogers Enhanced Guide, at no additional cost.
Just click on the "Can I Get It" tab and fill out all the necessary boxes on the form and press ORDER NOW. It will take up to 72hrs to process. Once you've filled it out, it will update all of your compatible digital set-top boxes in your home.

Talking Families with @KatiaMillar: staying in the loop
Who are the people that make up your "family?" Do you include only blood relatives only or do you include family friends into this category too? The word "family" has come to mean so many different things and as such, the technology needs of a family vary just as much.
What hasn't changed is the need and desire to stay connected to these important people.
In the next installment of RedBoard's #TalkingFamilies series, we asked @KatiaMillar of Positive Fabulous Women to provide us with some insight into her family life and how they use technology. We'll be setting her family up with smartphones and a family plan and in the meantime, we've asked her to answer some questions for us about how her and her family use technology. In return, we've made a donation to a charity of her choice. Here's what she had to say about technology and her family:
What factors should parents consider when deciding if their children are old enough for cell phones? Were these difficult decisions in your own family?
My children had cell phones by grade 6 or 7 – because I wanted a way to keep in touch with them during the after-school program. I wouldn't say it was a difficult decision, but it's still not one that I took very lightly. I think it really depends on the child and the needs of the family. Obviously, if a child had to take public transit or walk to school, then it might be a good idea to have a way to stay in touch with a parent. Also, we have to assess where each child is at and if we can trust him/her to show responsibility looking after the phone and making sure it's not lost. Children need to be aware that it's a privilege to own a cell phone, and they have to be ready to handle that responsibility.
What can parents do to ensure their kids' use of cell phones doesn't interfere with family life?
I would love to say that it doesn't disrupt our family life, but I'd be lying. As kids get older, it becomes increasingly harder to set boundaries and stick to them. I am a bit more relaxed about those rules now than I used to be, partly because I'm guilty at times myself. However, I think it's critical for parents to set some limits around usage – eg. no phone at the dinner table. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done. As a parent of two teenage boys, I have to pick my battles – so I choose to let that one go sometimes and focus on bigger more critical issues around life and school.
What do you consider to be biggest benefit/biggest disadvantage of a connected family?
The #1 benefit of a connected family is that we keep in touch easily. For me personally, I appreciate that I am able to stay in the loop of what's happening in my kids' lives even when they're away from home. They know I'm "there" if they have a question or need anything. As children enter their teen years, sometimes the verbal communication is a challenge, so it's great to have other means to stay in touch. The challenge is the constant interruption, as they're often more interested in playing with their phones than having a conversation. It's particularly frustrating when we're out at a restaurant or with family, and they just retreat to their phones than trying to make human connection – so it's an ongoing struggle to get them to put their phones away and be present.
How do you use your smartphone/cellphone to stay connected to your family?
One word: Texting. We have a 2-household family, so having a convenient tool to stay connected when they're with their Dad is very helpful for us. When the kids are out with friends, I know I can check in with them any time. They will often text me if they're late or need something, so it's a fantastic tool for us to manage our daily needs and expectations. Yes, I have even texted my kids if they're in their rooms to call them down for dinner – works much better than yelling!
Does having access to the internet and cell phones make family life different for your current family compared with the family in which you grew up?
Does it ever! Children these days don't go outside nearly as much as we did to socialize and interact with their peers. They value their online friends almost as much as their school friends. What that means for parents, especially as the kids get older, is that it's harder to bring them into our world as we're constantly competing for their attention with the next incoming text. Smartphones can create an added challenge as they provide a portable escape from the world with games, internet access, etc.
Speaking of keeping in touch with friends and family, check out our most recent Rogers Innovation Report where we look at how Canadian technology users connect to family and friends.
What's your favourite method to keeping in touch with your family?

Feast your eyes on TMN's free preview on Rogers on Demand Online
Lots of big happenings at Rogers On Demand Online! We're all buzzing about the fact that we've got a fantastic TMN Free Preview for Rogers cable customers happening right now. If you watch television, or if you don't, I'm sure you're familiar with a whole bunch of the titles that you can check out here with just a click of a button. Here's a rundown of just a few of the shows you could check out for free right now.
Some of us will always think of Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin in The Graduate or maybe for his Oscar-winning role in Rain Man. However, I'm guessing that his starring role in HBO's brand new series Luck will introduce him to a whole new audience. The shows deals with horseracing and gambling and has a knockout cast that not only includes Dustin Hoffman, but Nick Nolte and Dennis Farina as well. Throw in the fact that it was created by David Milch, who also came up with classic shows like NYPD Blue and Deadwood and it gets even better. But wait, we're not done yet. The pilot episode, which you can check out right now in our free preview, was directed by the amazing Michael Mann. Take a look at Luck and let us know what you think.
Speaking of Deadwood, that's another show you can check out in our TMN Free Preview. This is the western to end all western, featuring a star making performance by the great Ian McShane. You can sample the first two episodes from the first season of Deadwood right now for the low cost of free.
Game of Thrones
One of the most anticipated returns this television season is that of Game of Thrones, which was a huge success when it first aired last year. I didn't watch it right away, but I did play catch up not long ago and have to say I was suitably impressed. Great set pieces, great acting – you don't have to be a hugh fan of fantasy to get into all of the intrigue. In our TMN Free Preview, you can check out the first episode of Game of Thrones season one, which really sets the stage for all that's to come.
Those are just a few of the shows you can check out in TMN's Free Preview. But really, there are so many more shows for you to sample – Showtimes Nurse Jackie, Curb Your Enthusiasm, True Blood and many, many more. Definitely head over to Rogers On Demand Online and take a look at all of these stellar, award winning shows. I'm pretty sure you'll find at least one you like. And to read more TMN Free Preview related info, be sure to check Rogers Beyond The Guide blog. The TMN Free Preview is on now until February 26th.
What's your favourite show in the free preview? We want to know!

New RedBoard series: Talking Families with…
Staying connected to the people that matter is a major part of everyday life and every family has its own way of keeping in touch. After launching our new Rogers Ultimate Unlimited Family Plans last week, we thought it would be a good time to look at how people integrate technology into their families' circles of trust.
To kick off a new RedBoard series, Talking Families, we asked @Gingermommy of Tales of a Ranting Ginger to provide us with some insight into family life and technology. In her own words, she describes herself as a "Canadian mom of four: toddlers, tweens and teens" who uses "her blog and social media to connect, share and save with others." We've set her family up with smartphones and the new family plans and asked her to answer some questions for us about how her and her family use technology. In return, we're making a donation to a charity of her choice. Here's what she had to say about technology and her family:
What factors should parents consider when deciding if their children are old enough for cell phones? Were these difficult decisions in your own family?
Having four kids who all range in age, I think each is separate. My 11 year old is more mature and responsible than his older sister was at the same age. He would use the phone to stay in contact with us. My older kids would want to text all the time. I think kids should be given a fair chance, but if they do not stay within their limits then they need to pay their own bill.
What do you consider to be biggest benefit/biggest disadvantage of a connected family?
Two of my kids are teens and often out and about with their friends. I like them having phones to stay connected with us. There are very few payphones and with debit there is seldom any change in their pockets. And, with one child who is learning to drive, the safety factor is huge. I do not like them being online all the time though. Some rules we have are no texting during dinner and designated family time.
What can parents do to manage their children's cell phone usage? Should they monitor or set any guidelines? (ie: No texting at the dinner table? No phone usage in the house? Features like MMS disabled?)
We limit cell phone time during family hours. I also prefer my kids not to have data on their phones.
What do you look for when choosing a cell phone plan and provider?
Flexibility, I like to be able to add on and move it so it fits our large family's needs. A plan that includes unlimited local calling and incoming calls is great. Also unlimited texting is great (we have had high texting bills before).
Does having access to the internet and cell phones make family life different for your current family compared with the family in which you grew up?
My kids have access to information at all times. That being said, we need to make sure they are looking at appropriate sites etc. Gone are the days of leaving a message for a caller. Now kids have instant access to their friends
What are some ways you would recommend for families to reduce their mobile device usage?
Set limits and boundaries. Communicate and respect privacy but still monitor what they are doing and for how long. We do not allow cell phones in the bedrooms when they are to be sleeping.
Stay tuned for the next Talking Families installment.
How do you stay connected with the people that matter in your life?

DICE threatens permanent bans for users of color-editing Battlefield 3 mod
Tinkering Battlefield 3 soldiers released a mod today allowing tweaks to the displayed color levels, with the most dramatic result involving the suffusion of the pervasive blue-tinged gradient into supposedly more natural colors. The sample photo album and comparison video definitely show a stark difference between stock and modified visuals, but when asked for his input on the mod, Battlefield 3 gameplay designer Gustav Halling said it was "too colorful" and warned of possible permanent bans for users.
"[It's] too colorful," Halling tweeted. "Also, I wouldn't use those hacks if you don't want a permanent ban on your account. FYI warning."
A few posters on a reddit thread discussing the mod claim they've already met bans for using the program. Although the notion of DICE hefting its ban-hammer over Battlefield 3 becoming too colorful seems absurd on the surface, the company is clearly adamant about protecting the competitive standards set in the unmodified game, where filters and gradients could potentially figure into each map's overall balance.
Try out the mod if you want with the link below at your own risk of being perm banned.

Can see the point if it gives players an unfair advantage, but if not its crap , look what we've come to from the mods of bf2 age, (some as good as the main game). Furthermore the dev actually comments its to colourful , very petty and seems to make the game look good, they could at least let people run these small mods on non ranked servers and see how it goes.
First it was there is no longer a modding community for games in the PC world, now it's bringing out the ban hammer for those who want to mod the game. DICE is getting shitter by the day. Cheers EA!
I can't really blame DICE here. The way the modder implemented the mod triggers punkbuster and just like with almost every other online game (including ArmA) you have to be careful with the way you implement mods or they will get mistaken for hacks and you will get banned.
DICE could easily make a workaround for that, but they really want to ban users than mod their game.
They will allow the "color mod features" by themselves so you don't need to ask for mod support for their game.

China on Tuesday lent its support to Sri Lanka and said it opposed "interference" in the country's domestic affairs, ahead of next month's meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) where the United States is expected to put forward a resolution criticising the island nation's post-war rights record.
Sri Lankan Foreign Minister G.L. Peiris, on an official visit to Beijing, was assured of Chinese support by his hosts when the UNHRC meets in March. China was, in November, among 14 countries elected to serve on the 47-member body, for a three-year term.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told him during talks on Tuesday that China "opposes some countries' interference in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka under the pretext of human rights issues," Xinhua quoted him as saying.
Although Mr. Wang did not appear to directly refer to either the U.S. resolution or next month's meeting, he said China "backs the Sri Lankan government in safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity" and in "the Sri Lankan people's wisdom and capacity to handle their own affairs."
He also highlighted Sri Lanka's importance toward building a "maritime silk road" connecting the Pacific and Indian oceans.

Portable Database Management with /rdb
The /rdb database system from Revolutionary Software is a compact, low-cost relational database management system that has been available for Linux and other Unix variants for several years. It distinguishes itself from most (if not all) other Unix database systems by functioning as an extension of the Unix shell.
The typical Unix distribution contains a rich set of shell commands (often referred to as filters) such as awk, grep and sed that operate primarily on text data. In addition, pipes can be used to route the output from one command into the input of another command. These commands can either be standard commands like those mentioned above or be created by the user. This system of pipes and filters simplifies the development of complex applications by enabling the reuse of components that have already been tested and proven.
Most filters are designed to operate on ASCII text data, so it is natural to represent logical data records as ASCII text lines. Data elements within the records are separated by a field delimiter character (such as a colon or tab) specified by the application. Alphanumeric data elements such as names, addresses and descriptions can be as long or as short as needed. Numeric data elements can have unlimited magnitude and precision, and their representation is architecture independent. This scheme provides complete portability of data between platforms.
Approaches to application design inherited from other platforms typically use fixed-length fields with predetermined field lengths. These lengths result in wasted file space due to the unpredictability of an application's actual storage requirements. Numeric data is often stored in binary format which makes it highly platform specific and nonportable. Data elements such as "description" or "comment" fields can vary greatly in size, and the use of fixed-length fields forces the application designer to either allocate enough storage to cover all cases (often impossible) or to dedicate separate data files to their storage (often making application logic clumsy, complex and difficult to manage).
The result of these approaches is the allocation of disk space that is never used and application programs that are difficult to maintain. Although recent innovations such as SQL have simplified the problem of data access from applications, many programs are tightly bound to storage layouts determined at compile time. This binding of code to data forces recompilation and relinking of application code each time a change in record format is required. Worse yet, many applications use "filler fields" to avoid recompilation, wasting even more disk space and I/O bandwidth.
While a great many Unix systems (database systems included) use the approach outlined in the last section, /rdb augments the capabilities already provided by standard Unix shell commands. Many /rdb commands operate as front ends for standard Unix commands such as awk. This enables users already familiar with Unix to create /rdb applications without learning a new programming language.
The format of /rdb tables is extremely simple. They are ASCII text files in which a row is a line of data. The column elements within each row are delimited by a column separation character (a tab by default but any other character except the newline can be used). /rdb commands use a -f command line switch to specify a column separator in cases where it is not a tab. Note the similarity between this approach and typical Unix system configuration data files such as /etc/passwd. The only difference is that the first line of /rdb tables is a delimited set of field names and the second line is a line of dashes. These first two lines are known as a header.
Part of the beauty of /rdb tables is that, for some applications, they need not even be stored in disk files. Instead, they can be passed between commands using pipes. These commands can be /rdb commands or standard Unix shell commands. The /rdb commands are designed to output tables through stdout, and most accept input tables through stdin. Although some standard Unix commands will be "confused" by the header lines, /rdb provides commands for removing and reattaching these headers (headoff and headon, respectively).
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

1. Anthony Romo said on Feb. 8, 2012
This is a fascinating new approach to cancer physiology, but it seems like another case of whether the chicken or the egg came first.
I think it would be more realistic to place these new findings in the larger framework of our current understanding of cancer. Softening of cells and changes in their adhesive properties probably do contribute to cancer-like cellular behavior and progression of cancer, but ultimately I think these characteristics have biochemical/ genetic origins.

Look up nuit blanche in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
Nuit Blanche (French pronunciation: [nɥi ˈblɑ̃ʃ]; All-Nighter, literally White Night, in French) is an annual all-night or night-time arts festival. A Nuit Blanche will typically have museums, private and public art galleries, and other cultural institutions open and free of charge, with the centre of the city itself being turned into a de facto art gallery, providing space for art installations, performances (music, film, dance, performance art), themed social gatherings, and other activities.
The Nuit Blanche concept came from Jean Blaise, who founded the Centre de recherche pour le développement culturel (Research Center for Cultural Development) in Nantes, France, in 1984. In 1989, the Helsinki Festival established its Night of the Arts,[1] "when every gallery, museum and bookshop is open until midnight or later and the whole city becomes one giant performance and carnival venue".[2] That same year, Jean-Marc Ayrault became mayor of Nantes, and his program included renovating the central city and establishing a "contemporary patrimony", which led Blaise to create a late-night cultural festival, "Les Allumées" ("The Lighted Up").[3] His concept was to have an arts festival in Nantes, 6 p.m. till 6 a.m., over six years with artists from six cities.[4]
They were as follows:
In 1993, a year and a half after the St. Petersburg edition of Les Allumées, the annual White Nights Festival in that city began adding a specifically cultural component to a longstanding annual event that included street carnivals and the Scarlet Sails celebration. The expanded White Nights Festival has included pop culture (e.g. the Rolling Stones in the open air at Palace Square) in 2007 and high culture events ("Stars of the White Nights Festival" at the Mariinsky Theatre under Valery Gergiev) every year since 1993.
In 1997, the Long Night of Museums, took place in the newly re-united Berlin with a dozen participating schools and exhibitions; the number has risen to 125, with over 150,000 people taking part in the January 2005 night.
In 2001, when Bertrand Delanoë became Mayor of Paris, his deputy, Christophe Girard,[5] invited Blaise to create an event there, and the Nuit Blanche was born.[6] The concept of Les Allumées was scaled down to a single night and focused on the offerings of Paris. "The first night-time trail through the streets of Paris and its contemporary-art scene took place on 5 October 2002, and the opportunity for anyone to explore artistic creation for a night has come back every year since."[7]
The idea of a night-time festival of the arts has spread around the world, with events in over 120 cities,[citation needed] including Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, and Saskatoon, Canada, and several European capitals (Paris, Brussels, Rome, Madrid, Riga, Bucharest and Valletta) which have chosen to pool their efforts as "Nuits Blanches Europe". The cities share their experiences and exchange projects and artists. Each year, new cities become candidates.[8]
In 2013, Melbourne hosted Australia's first White Night event with the city's galleries, theatres, music venues, laneways, shops and major cultural institutions all showcasing the city's art and culture, food and wine, fashion and sport.[9] This first Melbourne White Night saw an estimated 300,000 people attend, exceeding initial estimates and constituting the largest event of its kind in Australia.[10]
Continuing with its international success, Nuit Blanche was announced to be held in Santiago Chile during 2015, making this important South American capital part of the Nuit Blanche international community.[11]
