What: A kind of messaging app like WhatsApp.
Thanks guys :)
Is there a subgroup within this community of people who work only on mobile device design? If not, can we create one or organize one? I'm glad to do my part. Or if there's one that already exists (locally) I'd be glad to join it. Thanks for the feedback.

Can anyone recommend any software/hardware that they have heard of, or have experience with, as far as conducting user testing on mobile devices, i.e., tablets and smartphones?
I am wondering what's out there and what seems to be well reviewed or popular.

I'm looking for examples of mobile applications, preferably for iOS and Android operating systems, for use in industrial settings, as opposed to consumer applications. I'm especially interested in tablet applications, but would love to see smartphone examples as well. Apps used for realtime geographical tracking, data logging, workflow, job tasking, and inventory tracking are the types of things I'm interested in. Tools for military, law enforcement, and emergency services would also help.

Hi, I'm looking for some information on android usability. Specifically, I'm curious about how successful the basic navigation of android devices are using the back, option, home and search buttons. Some device manufacturers choose to modify the standard android navigation framework for their products and remove standard android buttons. I'm not sure if device manufacturers are doing this because they believe standard android is inadequate and they need to fix it or they are just looking for a way to differentiate.
Hello All,My team was researching on UI libraries for designing a Web app for touch devices specifically the iPAD, iPhone and the Android.One product we landed upon was the Sencha Touch that provides the look and feel which makes web apps look native on the Apple iOS and the Android touchscreen devices.
http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/ I was wondering if anyone has any experience using this framework and if you can share the pros and cons of using it?
Hi all...I'm looking for best practices / whitepapers on mobile app design for iphones/droids. OR mobile site design. If anyone has a few good ones to recommend, please post.

Celebrating Motherhood with Ouidad
The best and most exciting part about being a Mother is…
Birthing a human being and growing together! It is the most important and amazing job on the planet for me! Seeing my kids grow up and develop, learning many things about myself through them. They mimic you and roll plays you as they start developing. Watching them discover themselves, recognizing things in their personality and showing you who they are. That is the most exciting thing and nothing is more fulfilling for me.
Ouidad with her children, Sondriel & Peter in Colorado
While I was building my brand, I made sure to spend quality time with family by…
It's the ultimate juggling act. I just held myself accountable. I set reasonable working hours, even if it meant 12 hours a day and when I got home the clock stopped. I was home for my kids and nothing else. I gave 100% at work but when I got home it was all about spending quality time and giving 100% to my family. It's not easy when you're building a brand, I disciplined myself, made a schedule and stuck to it and never used an excuse to miss anything with my kids during my time at home! Your family will know what to expect, know what they want and plan for it. Even though I'm married to my business partner Peter, who built the company with me, we never brought tense conversation about work to the dinner table only good ones. It was about our kids and their day and spending quality time.
I got involved in whatever hobbies they were doing. Whether it was ballet and sports we made sure that we were there for them. I split my time working at the salon in the city and back home in Connecticut on the weekend. When I went home we had a ritual and our children came to expect it. They knew that every Saturday evening pick mom up from the train station and all go out to dinner and or a movie to start our family time!
The way that I've found the right balance between work and family was….
It's all about planning. I didn't bring work home. Occasionally when I needed to go to the lab for product development, I would take my kids with me because it was on their days when I was home, they had fun and loved it and OUIDAD is part of our family. I'm so proud of my daughter Sondriel for going into the industry. I'm sure I had a good deal of influence by taking her on trips and involving her in aspects of the business. When she decided she wanted to do hair, I kept asking her- is it really what you want or because mom is a hairdresser? I guess it is! She applied to cosmetology school behind our backs while she was still in High school under the age of 18. The Director of the hairdressing school said she needed to have a High School Diploma or pass a GED plus a parental signature because she's under age. She took and passed her GED and talked my husband Peter into signing her up without letting me know. She really wanted to do this and had passion for it. She attended High school classes during the day and at night her Cosmetology classes.
My favorite memory with my children…
Traveling with our kids is very important to me, we still do family trips just the four of us- it's our favorite time together. One of my favorites was going to the Galapagos Islands about 10 years ago. Discovering the remote islands and exotic animals with them, seeing and learning through their eyes were amazing. Also when they first started walking, we enticed Peter to walk at 9 months and started paying for what we did immediately. Watching them become little people and listening to the things they say is extraordinary. Even though sometimes you want to dig a whole and hide because of what they said, at the end of it all you sit back and say I can't believe I gave life to that young person. When I see other little people discovering things, I find myself mesmerized by it. It's so cool to watch.
In the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
My proudest moment as a mother and entrepreneur is…
My son PJ impacts my life in many ways. He is very smart and an analytical thinker but yet he's the life of the party. Curiosity is his strongest motive and the need to know what holds the world together. With that said, one of my proudest moments with him was surviving a two and a half hour conversation where I was drained and he thanked me for taking the time to explain. He was 13 years old at the time. Another proud moment – I finally made it to one of his soccer games, his soccer team playing their rival team and he kicked and scored a goal from mid field. It was a amazing! I screamed "that's my boy" so loud I embarrassed his entire team – he shouted back I love you mom- he was 8 or 10 years old.
Another proud moment with Sondriel was when she completed a level as a ballerina. She was so happy she finished, got her award and said- Okay, I don't like ballet I want to do Karate. It wasn't her passion but stuck it out to the end. She still teases me about it.
My proudest moment as a mother and entrepreneur was when my children were proud of me when winning the Great Idea Award for CEW in October 2011 and being inducted into the Cancer Research and Treatment fund Hall of Fame on Nov 16, 2010. Having them there and proud is my proudest moment. Nothing is better than having your kids proud of you, starting a business and building it up.
My favorite place to unwind and find time for myself and why…
I love the beach- All year round! Walking on the beach with my family even when it's cold bundled up with a cup of hot tea. My favorite place to unwind and recharge. Salt water is in my veins! Bad for my hair.
The best advice I ever received from my Mother….
It's embedded in me! I grew up in the Middle East with an independent femme-fatal mom. She always told me- "Be comfortable in your skin, find your balance and don't worry about what others are thinking. Take care of yourself because you can't delegate this job to anyone and always keep your sense of humor"!
The best beauty advice….
Less is more! My mom was a red-head with green eyes and fair skin. She never wore makeup just lipstick. She cleansed and moisturized her skin properly, Meticulous with her clothes and kept it clean and simple. Like my mother, "I believe the beauty is truly from the inside out and less is more".
My advice to other working Mothers…
Be comfortable in your own skin. Do what works for you, find your balance and don't worry about what others are thinking. My mother's advice is very powerful to me. Women feel they have to prove themselves to others- you don't! It's very empowering for women to be a mother with a career because it's the ultimate juggling act. It gives you power and makes you feel accomplished. Being a mother is extraordinary and being successful in business is great too. It's important for me- makes me comfortable in my skin.

USDA: New grassland establishment programs deadline approaching
Recently, the US Department of Agriculture through the Natural Resources Conservation Service has launched three programs that offer assistance to landowners interested in improving grassland habitats on their properties under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Application deadlines for these programs is approaching fast, and producers considering grassland establishment are encouraged to explore these options before enacting grassland seeding plans. The application deadline for the new Honey Bee Project, the new Prairie Pothole Wetland and Grassland Retention Project (PPWGRP), and the Water Bank Program is April 18th, 2014. Producers are encouraged to visit their local NRCS office for program details.
Honey Bee Project
Photo by: Schyler Angell In recent years, honey bees and honey bee hives have declined dramatically in the US. South Dakota is home to the second largest honey bee industry in the country, and most SD counties host bee hives during the summer months. South Dakota bees are transported throughout various regions of the South during the late summer and winter, assisting in the pollination of food crops at a scale that few of us consider.
In a recent fact sheet USDA outlined several reasons for the decline in honey bee populations (SD-FS-94. January 2014), including:
- Loss of foraging habitat (bee pastures) to cultivated agriculture (non-foraging crops).
- Loss of foraging plants within bee pastures – indiscriminate use of broadleaf herbicides.
- Loss of foraging plants within bee pastures due to lack of (or inappropriate) management (grasses take over and wildflowers cannot compete).
- Honey bee mortality due to indiscriminate use of insecticides or lack of bee-safe Integrated Pest Management.
With the overall decline in honey bees, USDA has acknowledged the need to assist beekeepers and landowners in efforts to retain the honey bee and its vital services. For producers considering converting cropland back to grass or grazing lands, taking advantage of this program could dramatically offset the out-of-pocket expense for grass and forb seed planting with minimal long-term contract commitments. Additionally, the program offers options for up to three years of participation and qualifying landowners may receive payments up to $11,200 annually for ensuring adequate honey bee forage through monitoring. After the expiration of the program, and even during the program years to some degree, the restored grasslands could be utilized for haying and grazing production without any long-term program contracts.

Bills-Patriots halftime notes
September, 30, 2012
By James Walker | ESPN.com
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills lead the New England Patriots 14-7 at halftime.
Here are some notes at intermission:
Here are some notes at intermission:
- What's gotten into Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski? The usually reliable kicker has lost his way in recent weeks and missed two field goals in the first half -- one wide left and the other wide right. Gostkowski also missed a potential game-winning kick against the Arizona Cardinals two weeks ago. New England may want to work out some kickers next week, if anything just to shake Gostkowski out of his funk.
- The Bills are rotating running backs Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller. Jackson started the game and Spiller took over on the second series. Both players have rotated. Spiller clearly looks slowed by his shoulder injury. He isn't running through nearly as many tackles as before and he missed a block in the first quarter where it was clear he was protecting his shoulder. Spiller also had a big fumble on the goal line. That play could haunt the Bills.
- We are seeing a mixed bag so far from Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. He started hot on the first drive but had two interceptions in the first half. The first pick was tipped and not on Fitzpatrick. But the second interception was an underthrown ball to an open T.J. Graham. Patriots cornerback Devin McCourty was behind but caught up to the wounded duck. Fitzpatrick also bounced back and had two really good touchdown throws to tight end Scott Chandler.
- The Patriots are really sloppy. Bills safety Jairus Byrd forced two big fumbles in the first half. One was by Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and the other was by receiver Wes Welker.
- Bills rookie LT Cordy Glenn and Patriots rookie defensive end Chandler Jones are having a good back-and-forth battle. Both players are among the top rookies in the AFC East. Jones is having the better half. He has four tackles and a sack.

By George Dvorsky
When it comes to self-improvement, few people consider their reasoning skills. Most of us simply assume — and take for granted — that under most circumstances, we formulate perfectly rational opinions. But according to an emerging subculture of rationality gurus, there's still plenty of room for improvement. They believe there are ways we can train ourselves to make better decisions, as well as increase personal control over our lives, health, and happiness. Here are a few of their ideas about how you can become more rational.
To better understand rationality and how we can improve upon it, we spoke to Julia Galef, co-host of the Rationally Speaking Podcast, and the president and co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality, a nonprofit think tank that teaches math- and cognitive science-based techniques for effective decision-making.
After speaking to Julia, it became clear that rationality is coming to be seen as a kind of cognitive enhancement — a likely explanation as to why so many lifehackers and futurists have started to take interest. And as we also learned, becoming more rational is not as difficult as it may sound. When it comes to clearer thinking, all we often need to do is make a minor adjustment.
What is your own personal definition of rationality?
You may have noticed that when people say "That's not rational" they usually just mean, "I disagree with you."
But to cognitive scientists, "rationality" means something specific. It's a set of techniques from math and decision theory for forming your beliefs about the world as accurately as possible, and for making decisions that are most likely to achieve your goals.
What would it be like if people were perfectly rational? Well, our confidence in a claim would match the amount of evidence backing it up. We'd change our minds in response to good arguments. We wouldn't stay stuck in jobs or relationships we hate, or make the same mistakes again and again.
We'd reflect on what we most care about — like our happiness, our friends and families' happiness, or improving the world — and on the best way to work towards those goals. And then we'd actually do it, rather than remain in our old ruts.
Of course, none of us are ever going to be 100% rational all the time. We're only human! We've got limited time, and focus, and energy.
But we can make some powerful improvements. Cognitive scientists like Nobel prize-winner Daniel Kahneman (author of Thinking Fast and Slow) have amassed a treasure trove of research on ways that human brains could be more rational. So far, no one's been using that research to actually improve people's lives — that's why we founded the Center for Applied Rationality.
Given that virtually no one would admit to being irrational, how can a person know they're not thinking rationally?
It's often easier to notice your own irrationality after the fact. I think we've all had that experience of wondering, "Why did I stay up all night when I knew I had to be on-the-ball this morning?" or "Why didn't I leave this awful job months ago?"
Catching irrationality in the moment is harder. Once I started paying attention, I was surprised at how frequently I noticed myself dismissing an argument because I didn't want it to be true, or because I felt defensive, or because it's being made by a pundit I dislike.
So one simple trick that I use all the time now is a thought experiment. I'll ask myself, for example: "If it was my favorite blogger making this argument, rather than the pundit I dislike, would I still think it's a bad argument?" It's a handy way to check whether you're evaluating an argument rationally or whether you're biased against it for some reason.
At CFAR we teach lots of tricks, many of them as simple as the thought experiment, to help people notice their own irrationality when it counts.
It's interesting that you bring up biases. Some of these are learned, but most are an ingrained part of our psychologies. What are some common biases that get in the way of rationality, and how can people best address these glitches in their thinking?
Brief background: cognitive scientists have discovered that the human brain has roughly two different ways of forming judgments: intuition and reflection. (They're also called "System 1" and "System 2.") Our intuition uses shortcuts and emotional cues, while reflection is what allows us to plan ahead and to reason abstractly about things like math, logic, and hypotheticals.
And it's a common misconception that being unbiased means only using reflection. But in fact, your intuition is invaluable! Without its shortcuts, we'd go crazy trying to reflect carefully on every single little decision. And without its emotional cues, we'd be rudderless – we wouldn't know what we cared about.
So it's more accurate to think of "biases" as cases of imperfectly coordinating your intuition and reflection. For example: Are you unhappy in your career, but reluctant to switch? It's worth it to check if you're being unduly influenced by the sunk cost fallacy, which makes us attached to things we've already sunk a lot of time or money into, even if we know we'd be better off quitting.
Are you afraid of your kids being kidnapped if you let them play outside? That's understandable. But check and see if you're being influenced by the availability bias, which makes us overemphasize risks that are vivid, even if they are far rarer than "mundane" risks like car accidents.
Are you feeling moved to donate some money to save lives? That's great. But you might be able to do far more good, with the same amount of money, if you're aware of the fact that your intuition is quantity insensitive. That is, our intuitive judgment feels roughly as happy about saving 1000 lives as 100, so we don't automatically pay much attention to the quantity of good we're doing. In fact, studies have shown that people are less inclined to help a large group of children than a single child.
So rationality doesn't mean ignoring our feelings – it means understanding what's influencing those feelings, and having reflective tools to complement them. That gives us more control over the outcomes of our decisions for our own happiness, our families' happiness, and the good we can do for the world.
If I could get a bit epistemological for a moment, and setting aside our psychological and emotional tendencies, how can we meaningfully talk about being rational knowing that we're always making decisions with insufficient information? Aren't we just fooling ourselves that we're being rational, when in reality we're no more or less rational than someone working off different knowledge?
Rationality is only defined with respect to the information you have. So if you and I have different information, we could both reason rationally and still end up at different conclusions. But given the information you have, there are more and less rational ways to use it.
And we'll always be making decisions with insufficient information, but there are different degrees of "insufficient information," right? A randomized experiment with a sample size of 100,000 is better evidence than a few anecdotes, which is in turn better evidence than just making something up. They're all imperfect but to different degrees.
Isaac Asimov had a typically punchy way of putting it: "When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."
The futurist community, including mindhackers, transhumanists and Singularity types, has been an early adopter of improving rational thinking. Why do you suppose this is?
Partly it's just because futurists tend to be early adopters, period.
But I do think it goes deeper than that. Futurists are especially interested in what's possible, and they're excited by the powerful new capacities technology affords us – capacities to relieve suffering, make people happier, and make new discoveries.
That's what rationality is. It's a mental technology, a way of affording ourselves more control over the outcomes of our decisions, so that we can better pursue our happiness. Personally, I find that just as inspiring as the physical technologies that afford us more control over our environment.
Why do futurists have such a fascination with Bayesian rationality in particular?
When people refer to "Bayesian rationality" that's just a more precise way of describing rationality, as it's officially defined in cognitive science. "Bayesian" refers to Bayes' Rule, which is a theorem in probability theory that answers the question, "When you encounter new information, how much should it change your confidence in a theory?"
And why is it more popular among futurists? The connection there, if I had to guess, is that Bayes' Rule is used a lot in machine intelligence. So a lot of futurists who are familiar with computer science have developed a respect for it.
Earlier you mentioned the Center for Applied Rationality. What's your mission statement, and how can your organization help people become more rational?
CFAR is an evidence-based nonprofit, founded to give people more understanding and control of their own decision-making. We take research from probability theory and cognitive science and turn it into learnable skills, such as making accurate predictions, reshaping our motivations, and avoiding self-deception.
It's easier to learn new habits in a group, rather than alone reading articles online, so we've been holding immersive 3-day rationality training workshops. Our next is November 16-18, in the Bay Area, with a special focus on how rationality is useful for entrepreneurs.
It's CFAR's view that this is the most valuable thing we can do for our future: training ourselves to think rationally about high-stakes decisions.
That's because the challenges facing us in the modern world, such as weighing the risks and benefits of new technologies, or figuring out how to stave off epidemics or climate change, are far more complex than anything the human brain evolved to solve. And they're decisions we can't afford to approach with wishful thinking, blind ideology, or any other kind of irrationality.

Chaz Bono was eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars" tonight, and his farewell speech was one part inspiration ... and one part 'screw you' to his critics -- saying, "I wanted to show America a different kind of man."
Chaz came under fire from groups that claimed -- among other things -- he would be a bad influence on children watching 'DWTS' because he is transgender. Chaz tackled the controversy head-on after getting voted out ... saying, "If there was somebody like me on TV when I was growing up my whole life would have been different."
Chaz continued, "I dedicate everything I did to all the people out there like me -- and especially to kids and teens who are struggling."
Awww MAN I just puked in my mouth a little bit
The show was supposed to be about dancing skills, not gender. It should have never been about that.
Don't even watch the show, but maybe now we won't have to see so many disgusting topless pictures. And for that I am grateful.
I support Chaz and her ability to do whatever she wants in her life, but regardless of how many hours of surgery, drugs she takes, or name change she will always be a woman. Nothing will ever change that.
I agree guys, it's a celebrity dancing show not a platform for political agendas.
Give Chaz a break, he just wants to live his life as he sees fit. He's hurting no one.
Save your venom for complete turds like the Lohan family, none of which have any redeeming value.
Who cares? I'm just worried about the lack of a comma after an introductory dependent clause! Jeesh, tmz, get your grammar going:)
My eyes have never been the same after seeing him parading around without a shirt.
That was truly a big bowl of wrong.
His quote "I wanted to show America a different kind of man." made me laugh so hard I pissed my pants. That is wrong on so many levels
Come on Chasie, Take It Like A Man!!!!
TMZ misspelled HER since that thing isn't a man.
She's 100% gross though. Every time I see her I want to vomit a little.
As others have said, I wasnt against chaz because she/he was a transgenter, it was because her being on the show was for no other reason than to be one big PSA about transgenders and not about how well the dancing was. Chaz stayed around not because of her skills, she didnt dance that well yet stayed around because the people in charge of the show wanted to "enlighten" the viewers, its no different than the occasional celebrity that hyjacks the Oscars for a second to go on about the plight of some third world country or berate bush. The show ceased to be about dancing and became indoctrination.
Chaz handled DWTS & the hoopla with dignity and class. It's getting more difficult to see behavior like that.
Come on Chasie...Take It Like A Man!!!!!
This lard azz should have been booted the first week.

Fiber City: Google's Fast Broadband Spawns Home Startups
By providing individual residences with top-tier Internet connectivity, Google Fiber has sparked real momentum in Kansas City's entrepreneurial sector.
That's according to Matthew Marcus, co-founder of the Kansas City startup community LocalRuckus.com.
Marcus didn't even have Google Fiber in mind when building the business that he co-founded with Adam Arredondo. Now he says new startups from locations across the United States are looking to come to his town.
"What we wanted to do was follow the startup communities around the nation who have been successful in just densifying and increasing the exposure of startups to one another in a very collaborative space," said Marcus. "But when you throw Google on top of that, it's like the best icing on the cake you could ever have."
Rachel Hack, Google's community manager, is especially excited about what the startup community has done with Google's new service.
"We're excited to see what this might mean for anyone running a home-based business … maybe even for people who haven't had a business before and may use this as they think about a new opportunity they can create for themselves," said Hack.
Vince Vaughan, not the actor but rather the CEO of corporate technology consultancy Why Status Quo?, thinks Google Fiber is revolutionizing the entrepreneurial landscape, while the brick-and-mortar businesses that don't have access to the network are beginning to suffer.
"The fact that they're putting it in homes, what it means is that businesses are leaving the brick and mortars and instead coming to live in these houses," explained Vaughan, referring to the startup communities. "I mean, everyone in his house has a business. There are well-funded startups who are taking advantage of this." [See also: Barely Half of Americans Can Stream Netflix]
Nick Budidharma, founder of online game startup LeetNode, agrees.
"I think without Google Fiber, you'd still see a similar movement, but maybe not happening as quickly and not as dense," he said. "Google Fiber is like a catalyst that fuels this whole movement."
For his part, Ray Daniels, co-chair of the mayors' bi-state innovation team,not only hopes Google Fiber will attract a high quality work force and business from other areas and, but will also help business that are already starting up in the Kansas City area get bigger and more profitable.
For those with entrepreneurial spirit, Hack says Kansas City is the right place to be.
"For the entrepreneurs who are attracted, this is a fantastic ecosystem to be a part of," said Hack. "The culture of Kansas City is right for this kind of activity to be happening."

I'm worried about your last ten years. And in those last ten years, you're going to be thinking back…and realizing, Why didn't I go to Austin (or L.A. or Nashville…wherever you're going)? Why didn't I take a chance? and really regret that. And that-that tastes a lot worse than going for it, because that's when you're most alive."

While the whole world was going gaga over the Lanvin X H&M collaboration – analysing the promo videos, fainting at the mere sight of a lookbook and hanging off every single word that came from Alber Elbaz's mouth, it seemed to me like one thing was missing – some good old-fashioned flat shots of the clothes themselves. Don't get me wrong, I was one of the aforementioned going gaga. But I swear the thing that's gotten me most excited by the collab was seeing the clothes in their natural state hanging on a rack at the H&M showroom in Switzerland. Not that I saw it there with my own eyes, but thanks to Pascal Grob of Fashion Bits and Bobs, it almost felt like I did. Photos below.
But the best bit of all is the suit bag. Oh to walk out of the store with one of those.

Rylee and Jackson have the sweetest (most of the time) relationship. It makes my heart glad to see how much the two of them care about each other, and really just
each other. They are always playing together and very concerned with what the other is doing.
Most of the time Jackson's first words when he wakes up in the morning or from his nap are "Ry Ry" and if Rylee hears Jackson waking up before anyone else she sprints into his room to be the first to greet him.
I am so thankful for these two.
until next time,

Northwest Food News – October 2014
October brings with it great news for beer drinkers, something ponderous for meat eaters and oh so dainty French cakes
October brings with it great news for beer drinkers, something ponderous for meat eaters and oh so dainty French cakes
Gin and Great British Bake Off judges in Glasgow, and Michelin starred Spanish chefs in Edinburgh - it's all kicking off in October's Food News
Edinburgh Fringe spills over into September's food news, with beer, chilli and boating all featuring in Scotland this September
If you can't stomach the Fringe, Scotland still has plenty to offer this month, namely beer, yachts, smoke and silence
Having been undermined by Glasgow's Commonwealth Games, the city of pandas and insanely-priced public transport systems hits back with burgers, street food, and beer made by students
June's food news features indoor picnics, lots of gin, and the chance to have a scientist study your hangover
Food news is almost entirely brown this month, with discussions on haggis, competitive coffee making, and enough whisky to float a battleship
This month, Food News sees the good in people, recommends you eat a burger with four different kinds of beer in it, and tries to send you to Inverness
February's food news compares beer events to public transport, makes a bad David Bowie pun, and advises you to cause trouble
Having been rudely usurped by last month's Food and Drink Survey, our rolling reportage is back with a bang. Here's all the stuff we haven't been telling you about, from...
See out December by keeping warm and drinking. This month, themes are: Berlin, pirates, and the 1930s. Yo, ho, ho and eine flasche of rum, dollface
November's Scottish food round-up keeps things simple, and throws in some free beer while it's at it
Street food goes indoors, absinthe makes a comeback, and a couple of bartenders done good
Food news goes large this month, with lots of beers, lots and lots of chili, two villages, a 'supertheatre', and everyone's favourite food-based readers' survey
Supper clubs are so last month. Get yourself down to a pudding club
If you're that lucky combination of foodie and agoraphile, then September is going to feel like one long wet dream
This month's Scottish food news eats chillis, celebrates birthdays, and pimps its Food and Drink Survey with no shame at all.
If you thought summer camp was only for Americans and gardening was something that old people do, then prepare to have your minds well and truly blown by this month's...
Themes! Themes! Everywhere! This month, take part in everything from a communal dinner-as-theatre-performance to a Prohibition-inspired beer festival. Or just do something normal, like chill with coffee and pancakes
This month, we stick food news in a blender alongside graphic design, boating and showdowns between brewers and rambunctious record label chiefs

May is National Bike Month. With all the Hallmark holidays and such that cloud our calendars, you probably overlooked this. Fair enough, but this affords me an opportunity to delve from extolling the benefits of bicycling to a simple and overlooked issue — how to ride a bike.
I fondly remember my first "real" bike (I don't count my tricycle). It was a dirt bike aptly named the "Dirty Cat," and I rode that beast all over north Merrillville. Actually, considering our high-strung feelings about child safety, I'm amazed my parents lent me such latitude! Even so, off I went — and without a helmet or any clues on the correct manner to ride. One adventurous time I rode with a friend and raised my arms up and promptly wiped out, to which my buddy replied, "Look Ma, no brains."
Maybe you share an equally fond childhood with a bicycle (sans the wipeout, I hope). Even though many moons have passed since you have ridden a bike, chances are you'll figure it out right away. This prompts that age-old axiom "as easy as riding a bicycle." Problem is, that's only half the battle — knowing where to ride, including the correct gear, makes the difference.
Bicycle education is a serious matter because bad habits can linger into adulthood, and as adults we can open ourselves up to serious injuries. As a child, it's especially dangerous because their decision-making abilities have not fully developed. So in the spirit of Bike Month, here are some quick tips to keep you riding smart:
• Always wear a helmet. The vast majority of bike injuries (and deaths) are head-related. Use yours and protect it!
• As an adult, ride in the street. Do NOT ride on sidewalks, unless you are a child younger than 14 or riding with one. This rule can be relaxed if you are riding along a busy road where vehicle speeds exceed 45 mph.
• Obey all traffic laws. If you ride in the street, you are a legally allowed user of the road and must stop at stop signs and stoplights, and yield for pedestrians.
• Ride with traffic on the right. This rule is ignored by many, but when riding with motorized traffic, they have a better chance to see you, and that's what counts.
• Be prepared: Wear bright and reflective clothing when dark (lights and a horn/bell also are wise to attach), and carry water and tools if embarking on long rides.
• Oh yeah, drivers, don't forget to share the road!
These are a few but vital rules to keep in mind when riding a bike. Bicycle Indiana has more tips at www.bicycleindiana.org. Ride smart. And happy Bike Month!

March 6, 2013
Nearly every Wednesday since 1996, the Think About It feature has been broadcast on the airwaves of KSRM 920am.
The commentary is usually penned by KSRM President and CEO John C. Davis, and KSRM News Directors past and present, Jim Heim, Joe Nicks, and myself Andrew Rogers.
Each week, the three to five minute oratory ends in the same way, "Think About It," but how many times do those words get followed through upon?
It could be argued that one thing that is getting erased more and more over the past two decades from the social zeitgeist is critical thought. In the past ten-years especially, the twenty-four hour cable news network has been the largest culprit.
Why would anyone actively seek information to shape their view on the world around them, when Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC is always on, feeding one sided information geared to promote one specific political ideology rather than to inform their respective viewers?
When news was limited to one hour a night on just the three "big networks," a viewer at home would be left to seek out more information about the story on the news the night before, and on the way would take in more information than they'd set out for, but more-importantly, they would come to a conclusion on their own.
Edward R. Murrow would report on issues such as the Truman Doctrine with black and white facts, rather than with catchy media friendly nicknames and misconstrued half-facts engineered to embolden the political rank and file of his target demographic.
What does it say about the world today, where it's as easy for billionaires and multinational corporations to buy a "news" organization to forward their political agenda as it is for me to drive to the grocery store and buy a gallon of milk. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not calling for increased regulations, I'm calling for the audience to begin to demand better service.
It has been proven, that with the arrival of the large cable networks, those who religiously watch just one network, are statistically less informed than those who frequent various sources of information.
In my humble opinion, the primary goal for any organization calling itself a "news organization," no matter the size, is to provide timely and accurate reporting of what's going on in the city, state, country, and world; and to leave the formation of opinions to the listener, viewer, or reader.
As Thomas Jefferson said, "whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government." Can that be said about the U.S.A. today?
Does watching nothing but Fox News bash or CNN Boast the same action everyday accomplish anything, does it really help to forward the national conversation rather than further the partisan chasm that's currently engulfing the nation?
So let me ask you, what do you want from your news? Do you want to be told what to think or do you want to form your own opinions?
If you take nothing more from this, please just take a moment and…Think about it.

At first I started this blog as an easy way to keep mom updated about what I was doing, but this thing took on a life of its own. Here's a non comprehensive list of things this blog has done:
Gotten me hired as a paid writer! – This blog is linked to in my twitter bio, and I think Matador Network was led to it through that window when I carelessly tweeted some such nonsense at them back in December. They liked what they saw, and now I am a regular contributor, in case you were not aware. And they pay me! (not much) You never know what will happen when you put a bit of yourself on the internet….
Helped Spanish speakers practice English: I know more than few young hispanohablantes who took enough of an interest in my affairs to read this blog, and it was a fantastic opportunity for them to get some real unadulterated 'American'. I play fast and loose with phrases and slang they may never have encountered before, so besides normal grammar practice, it's a street education, so to speak. Heck, I learned Spanish vocabulary reading my own words through Google Translate, so it goes both ways.
Provided travel tips and advice to many friends: If I know someone is headed to a city I have been to, all I have to do is send them a link that the week when I was visiting there, and it usually offers a rough guide for them to get started on. I'm no expert, but I know if an attraction is good or not, which sometimes is better than the reviews from strangers on Tripadvisor. I love hearing stories from friends who went somewhere based off of advice from me and the blog.
Inspired more than one other personal travel blog: Off the top of my head I can think of at least 2 blogs that were directly inspired by SpainWhatup: my friend Sarina in Seville, and Melissa in Alicante. Their work has taken on a life of its own and it's great to think that I had a part in that.
Served as the catalyst for helpful tips: I complained about Barcelona being all party all the time in one post way back when and one of my friends messaged me out of the blue afterwards to give me a stellar list of resources that helped point me to more intellectual pursuits, like TED talks and startup space in the city. I'm eternally thankful to her for that, and for a few others who gave me more attractions to see when they found my semester one BCN guide lacking.
Improved my writing ability: You can see this just by reading my older posts, ouch. The more you write the better you write, no matter what you're writing about, that is for sure
Amassed 30 odd random Tumblr followers: Yes, I see you all - looks like mostly young girls who have probably found this from the geographical tags I put at the bottom of whichever post I wrote about their country or city. Your Tumblrs are, well, typical Tumblrs - primarily composed of wistful quotes, Pinterest style pictures, and soft erotica that is so oddly common in this corner of the internet. I'm not sure if this is what you were expecting when you clicked on that tag, but I hope you enjoyed the ride.
Not bad for what was basically a weekly email to mom! I'd highly encourage you to start your own blog, whether or not you are travelling. And don't just rebblog cat photos, like I did with my first Tumblr – create something of your own, even if you think your life is boring. Somebody finds it interesting. If you are travelling, you definitely should – this will be a powerful and unfailing reminder of my time in Spain forevermore. I have every single week right here, written fresh off of my mind right after it happened. Far better than my finicky memory – I've already found things from my September posts that I had forgotten about. So do it!
Thanks for following along with me. May your roads be long and meandering.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) – Chocolate, vanilla and lime may sound like a tasty treat, but these are all flavors of cigars and tobacco products targeted to an under 30-year-old crowd.
Now, there is a big push to ban flavored tobacco products by New York State Assemblyman Sean Ryan. Legislation has been pushed through the Assembly in years past, but died in the Senate. Now, Ryan is trying again.
In 2009, the Federal government did ban flavored cigarettes, but it did not apply to other tobacco products including small cigars, chewing tobacco and snuff.
Experts said these types of products are enticing teens and young adults to buy the tobacco because of its taste and fancy packaging. They say parents must talk to their teens about the danger.
"Sitting down and talking about advertising works and companies about what hooks they use to manipulate you into buying their products," anti-smoking advocate Linda Lee said.
Anti-smoking advocates and legislators said a ban on the products would prevent young people from starting a life long addiction to tobacco.
Assemblyman Ryan is holding a press conference at 10 a.m. at Roswell Cancer Institute. Anti-smoking advocates, doctors and other supporters will be there to back-up his effort.

Is this it?, I asked, bewilderedly looking out the car window at what could have been any dive in any sketchy area of any town. Mike assured me that this was in fact the place. I was pretty excited though, not only because he had promised me several times that no matter what it looks like from the outside, I really would love this restaurant, but also because in my experience, restaurants that look shady on the outside often have the best food.
I like to think of them as best-kept secrets. (more…)

An excellent international resource for the laboratory equipment industry.
Paper Chem Lab Detects Low-Quality MedicineMarya Lieberman, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the Univ. of Notre Dame, and her collaborators have recently published results that show the effectiveness of an inexpensive paper test card that could fundamentally change the balance of power between pharmaceutical buyers and sellers in the developing world.When you buy fruit, you can easily judge whether the fruit is ripe or rotten. But when you buy medicine, you have to trust the seller that the pills are high quality rather than low quality. In the developed world, regulatory systems and technological infrastructure help to keep low-quality pharmaceuticals off the shelves. But in the developing world, low-quality medicines that contain the wrong drug or no drug at all are a growing danger.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2013/06/paper-chem-lab-detects-low-quality-medicine

It's not the NCAA drug testing protocol anymore, getting your masking regimes in line! Just ask Joe Hawley!
Read and weep, "bro":
Last SEC title: 9 years ago.
Last BCS game: 7 years ago.
Last title game appearance: never.
Record against teams that finished ranked the last 5 years: 6-17
Record against winning teams the last 5 years: 16-22
Not surprising, is it? Hey, UGA, LSU,. both in same boat.
I would personally rather a draft pick smoke pot than to be a thief and a rapist...I'm just sayin.
they get some good stuff to smoke down on the bayou---much better than the georgia stuff
So the jury is out of just what the deal is with Mett but the other folks have to fall in the Dumbazz group. You're about to go for you biggest job of your lfe and you still can't put down the dope. Jimbo has his hands full at FSU. The Noles have about as much chance of going back to back as Sterling has at getting free tickets from Jay-Z.
Is Terry Bridgewater related to Teddy?
It doesn't surprise me. How come he didn't offer another test...................oh an independent test.......right!
Well if your going to fail a drug test..using PED's while your a amateur would be the way to go. Your not responsible to your college..your gone..your not responsible to the team that may draft you..they haven't hired you. Showing a GM your willing to do that it takes to prepare for you NFL career MIGHT be quietly well received . I mean if you never got caught in college and you promise not to break the rules as a pro might not be a bad thing..you helped yourself heal and get ready for the combine. It can't go back against your former team and it you don't do it again it won't be a issue for your future employer. Frankly I'm not sure what the rules are between leaving college and going pro...anyone ?
Tipical SEC palyer. Even his pee is week! LOLOLOLO!!!!
Richt clearly made the right decision to get rid of hamburger years ago! Richt is the best coach in the nation and he will prove it this year!
Miles kicked Honey Badger & Perrilloux off the team. Get your facts correct.
@HarveyPooka Tech and Middle Tennessee...both in the same boat
The losers' boat.
@CowbellHell If he a Uga palyer he is giulty of all 3!
@KeepOnSmilingWetWillie might want to coach the chance debate a little differently KSWW , after all Sterling was set to get an award from the NAACP until that woman taped their conversation..
@WDE "Well if your going to fail a drug test..using PED's while your a amateur would be the way to go. Your not responsible to your college..your gone..your not responsible to the team that may draft you..they haven't hired you. Showing a GM your willing to do that it takes to prepare for you NFL career MIGHT be quietly well received . . . ."
Let's see, SIX improper uses of "your" in half of a brief paragraph. Gotta be some kind of record.
@WDE The Raiders will gladly take Mettenberger.
@Barves_Loss_Agian Why didn't you choose the word pea?
@Barves_Loss_Agian You're trying too hard to be dumb. It was a lot funnier and more believable when you made fewer, less glaring errors. Although some people are still falling for it, so maybe it's working.
@Barves_Loss_Agian 1/3 of your words are misspelled. Tech student?
@Barves_Loss_Agian nimrod..riddle me this ..what is a "palyer" we don't have those in the SEC.
@Dawg350 He is?
Last SEC title: 9 years ago.
Last BCS game: 7 years ago.
Last title game appearance: never.
Record against teams that finished ranked the last 5 years: 6-17
Record against winning teams the last 5 years: 16-22
All with one of the most talented teams in the country. That is the record of the best coach in the nation?
I don't know about best in the nation, but he's darn good.
We're going to make a run at it this year 350. I don't see enough strong competition to stop us.
The Honey Badger had failed about 10 drug tests before anything was done to him, get your facts straight.
The President of LSU booted the Badger! Les was about to setup the voting process...just saying
@Barves_Loss_Agian @CowbellHell
What is a Barve? You must be a Tech student. Can't spell.
@WDE @KeepOnSmilingWetWillieLook at the founders of the NAACP and you will see they do not necessarily represent the aspirations of people of color and to be more blunt, the rights and protections of Black folks, as has been portrayed. It is a government hack organization. Do some history on the NAACP, not to be confused with the other civil rights organizations during the so called "civil rights era" and you will see it is of no surprise they would award a known racist a Lifetime Achievement Award.
@AlwaysReady @WDE from what I hear Zach is a pretty good egg, he made a mistake and lied about to CMR, but since then he has stayed out of trouble (as far as we know) and he has a boatload of upside.
No need for him to try, and he's not. And it was never funny--or believable.
You're whistling into the wind. This Kaymaro Boob thrives on stirring us up. Let him stoo in his own joose.
@GTBob Ol'Bob forgets that if Bug U was a winning team we would be 5 wins higher in the last 5 years...also how many teams that ended up unranked were unranked due to playing and losing to UGA hmmmmm..oh yeah we did win back to back SEC East titles .
@GTBob 350 is delusional
@bigmacondawg @Dawg350 As log as the palyers stay out of jail!
@slydawg @WDE@KeepOnSmilingWetWillie hence my comment . Money has no color in those folks eyes.
It doesn't appear he'd know how to use one.
@oldcrackerfan @WDE@Barves_Loss_Agian so your telling me I stepped in a big pile of steaming trollpoo ...I will be on the lookout next time thanks !
@WDE No, I really don't. The SEC east is so strong it took a mediocre Missouri program all of 2 years to win it.
Richt is very lucky UGA hired him. If Mark were the coach at Miss State he would already been fired.
@bigmacondawg Now that FSU has rebuilt their program they would easily beat GT 13 times in a row. VT is 8-2 in the last 10 games against us and they don't get half the talent UGA or FSU gets.
Richt is a heck of a coach. Georgia has been a top 10 program in the BCS era.
This year's game was only close because Murray was hurt.
And 12-1 is a good record against ANY team from any major conference.
I agree that Tech isn't good. But FSU wouldn't beat Georgia Tech 13 times in a row.
Here we go again, GT Bob>>> It never ends with you. Give it a rest.
@TheOldGuy If he were a better coach he would be 13-0 against Tech. With the enormous talent disparity between the two teams, there is no reason that UGA should ever lose to Tech or have any close calls like this year. Richt is the only reason we remain somewhat competitive with UGA.
@Armydawg @Barves_Loss_Agian @bigmacondawg @Dawg350 Who R U the grammer natzi?
@Barves_Loss_Agian @bigmacondawg @Dawg350 2nd time you have used "palyers." Its "players."

We Dev/Stage/Prod in AWS (119 comments)
We moved our development and production systems to AWS in 2008 and have been quite happy. It has allowed us to grow and scale with load on production and quickly test things in development. There a few things to keep in-mind. First, if you know your usage pattern and can drop some money upfront then utilize the reserved instances to save some money. Second, you will need a script management system of some kind to run on the virtual servers at boot/shutdown, I recommend using something like Rightscale or Scalr. Most importantly, don't do it without some experienced help for the setup, a day of a consultant's or system admin's time to walk through your migration plan with you will save you a lot of help down the road. Lastly, aws has a cost estimator that is quite helpful.

Re:The Moscow Times? (166 comments)
Russia is known for its "inside" and "outside" views. People on the outside are only given specific information that is ment for people not living in russia. This is true nowdays just as in the KGB days. For example there is a news television station in moscow called NTV, and there is an international Russian Moscow news TV station called NTV. They are both owned by the same company and one brodcasts almost the same material as the other, key word in that is almost. Both channels are in russian, and the international is broadcast through a satallite. Why two? Probably same reason the Moscow times webiste is in english. 1. It can be accessed by those outside russia and there for can have an creat an opinion either bad or good And they have the power to alter it. 2. Their "Free Speach" and "Free Press" arent all free. Free in English means free. Free in russian means free aslong as it does not show us in a bad light or contradict the government. -DarkSage
