Caption: In its natural environment, Drosophila melanogaster feeds on yeasts that grow on sugar-rich substrates such as fermenting fruit. Fruits, however, also harbor toxic microbes, and flies need to distinguish those microbes that are safe and nutritious from the harmful ones. In this issue, Stensmyr et al. (pp. 1345-1357) demonstrate that flies detect toxic molds by sensing a volatile compound called geosmin, which exclusively triggers a dedicated signaling pathway in the flies' olfactory system. This circuit, upon activation, causes innate aversion and also prevents egg laying and feeding. Cover concept by Rakel and Marcus Stensmyr. Clay modeling and photo by Marcus Stensmyr.

From the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
-- Regulations designed to increase the harvest of Nebraska antlerless white-tailed deer in 2010 reflect reaction to the 2009 season. A record deer harvest was expected in 2009, but a late crop harvest, a cold winter with record snowfall and low interest in the October Antlerless season resulted in an antlerless white-tailed deer harvest that fell below objectives.
In 2009, 29,711 antlerless whitetails were harvested. The goal for this year is 42,000.
Commission deer management goals are to reduce white-tailed deer populations, especially in eastern Nebraska, and along the major river corridors, and to allow mule deer populations to increase in eastern and southwestern mule deer units.
Among the deer regulations the board adopted at its regular meeting in Lincoln March 19:
Expanding the October Antlerless season
The season is lengthened from three days to 10, and the hunting area is expanded. The hunting area includes land in the following Season Choice Areas: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9; River, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22. An unlimited number of permits which allow the harvest of two antlerless whitetails each will cost $10 for residents, $54 for nonresidents. Hunter orange no longer is required of archers during the October Antlerless season, but the requirement remains in place for firearm hunters.
This tool, designed to increase doe harvest, requires hunters with Elkhorn and Wahoo unit November firearm permits to check in a doe before or at the same time as they check in a buck. The November firearm season will be extended two days for hunters in these units.
Mule Deer Conservation Area
The area is comprised of the Buffalo, Frenchman, Republican and Platte units. The only hunters who may harvest a mule deer buck are youth, landowners and those with the new Republican mule deer buck, Buffalo, Platte, or Frenchman permits. These permits allow harvest in archery, muzzleloader and November firearms seasons. Restricted statewide buck, archery and muzzleloader permits will not be valid for mule deer bucks in the Mule Deer Conservation Area.
Establishing new Season Choice Areas
Season Choice Areas were established within existing areas: SCA 8 West, SCA 9 North, SCA 9 River, SCA 17 White River, SCA 24 River and SCA 25 North. These are intended to allow for additional pressure on white-tailed deer in riparian areas and to allow for mule deer doe harvest where needed.
Expanding January late antlerless season
The season is lengthened from 15 to 24 days and begins Dec. 26. Hunter orange is required for archers.
Using bow with firearm permits
Archery equipment will be allowed as a legal weapon on firearm permits in November and January. Hunter orange is required.
Establishing new Statewide Whitetail Buck permit
This permit will be unlimited in number and valid in archery, muzzleloader and November firearm seasons. The bag limit will be one whitetail buck and one antlerless whitetail. The permit price is $72.50 for residents, $521 for nonresidents.
More permits available
An additional 45,000 antlerless permits and bonus tags will be available statewide.
Regulation changes
Regulation changes to antelope hunting include increasing the landowner quotas from 20 percent of general tags to 50 percent, making electronic checking available for archery and muzzleloader seasons, establishing a new Cherry Late firearm unit and a corresponding late doe season for that unit. Regulation changes to elk hunting include increasing permit quotas in most units and expanding elk zones in many units to increase landowner eligibility.

Cracks in Dry SoilBy: Julie Day
"I have a problem with deep cracks forming in my lawn soil, especially when it is dry. The cracks can be quite large, and I don't know what to do. Please advise!"
Large cracks form in soils that are high in clay. The clay particles act just like a sponge – they swell as they soak up water, and they shrink as they dry out. During a dry spell, the shrinkage can be so significant that large cracks can form. In severe cases, these soils (called "expansive soils") can undermine the foundations of buildings because they swell and shrink so much.
Clay soil can be tricky because once it dries out in the heat, it can become hard as a rock – that's why they make bricks and pottery out of this stuff! Simply adding water doesn't solve the problem – you need to amend the soil in order to correct the texture. Before adding anything to your soil, you first need to have your soil tested. Take samples to your local agricultural extension service, or purchase a soil test kit that you can send to a lab, in order to determine the exact makeup of your soil.
If you indeed have clay soil, I'd suggest that you first try aerating your lawn, then top-dressing with compost. As the compost breaks down, it will actually improve the texture of your soil. You'll have the added benefit of organic nutrition for your yard. You'll probably need to do this more than once, and if your soil is heavy clay it may need to become part of your lawn care practice every few years.
If your soil test indicates that your clay soil is "sodic" or high in sodium, you can apply gypsum or lime. This replaces the sodium with calcium, which reduces the crusty texture of the soil. However, it only works if you have sodic soil.
The Arizona Geological Survey has a great resource with photos and information about expansive and problem soils.

We have a lot of clay around our house in Corinth. Our cracks are very wide and long. Since the house is on a slab the cracks near the foundation cause any problems with foundation. My husband removed some soil from foundation when it rains will the hole ruin the foundation and below slab.

We have large cracks around our fence line, in our lawn and under our house. When you soak the lawn and fence line the cracks dont fill with water to a level where you cann see it. The dirt around the hole caves in and wash away down the cracks and they become very much larger. Lost at what to do.

Actually in Texas what we do for a perfect lawn with all this clay soil is lay a lot of sand onto the yard. The sand separates the clay and mixes in, stabilizes it and helps keeps the yard soft and workable.

As part of Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW), House and Senate sponsors of federal parity legislation are pressing President Bush and Congressional leaders to come to an agreement on a parity bill that can pass before Congress's expected adjournment next week. Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Paul Wellstone (D-MN) are working with the White House and House leaders to resolve the remaining issues over requirements for health plans to cover mental illnesses on the same terms and conditions as all other diseases.
As part of this effort, NAMI advocates are strongly urged to contact President Bush and their members of Congress to encourage an agreement on parity that can pass this year. Thank President Bush for his support for legislation to end insurance discrimination. Urge your member of Congress not to adjourn without finishing work on this important legislation to end insurance discrimination against people with mental illness and their families. Remind all members of Congress and the White House of the President's call for Congress to pass a parity bill in 2002.

WHDI Kits Explored: Asus WiCast, brite-View HDelight
[quote user="kefir_sub"]
Is there any way to control the receivers ( therefore the source PC if it is in another room) with a remote control? Thanks.
Well, the remote control would have to be RF but I suppose it's possible. The devices are "dumb" in that they just pass the signal, no control per se. They're spec'ed to work up to 30 feet and through walls but lesser transmit power/distant if not line-of site obviously, so your mileage could vary.
Thanks for checking out the story and stopping by HH!
I have to agree that this is very nice technology and your presentation was spot on.
The actual demo of the gear on film was a nice touch, and HH's video recording just gets better over time.
The fact that these little gizmos can stream 1080P AND Dolby audio at the same time with no noticeable lag is truly impressive.
Good presentation. I personally don't even have a flat screen TV yet, as we don't really watch a lot of TV at my house. Everyone uses computers, so we were thinking about getting one, but I am flipping the idea of either the TV which would be great, or building a new PC. All three people in my house use PC's a good bit. We do watch a couple of show's, and of course my little one likes cartoons. You don't need a HD TV for cartoons, and the couple of network shows me and mommy use it for I don't know. On top of it if I get a HD TV then I will probably want some means of getting movies and things on there. The wireless thing was one thought, but what to use a HTPC, a NAS media server etc. I was also wondering about the wireless method which this seems to do pretty darn well, and wondering why I could not use my N router with a USB wireless card in the TV. One thing that confuses me here is this transmits at a 60Mhz frame rate where HD TV's go way higher than 60Mhz now which I know above 120Hz is not really needed, but 120Hz seems to be a necessity in many situations especially sports or live events on TV.
Great presentation Dave I will watch it a few times to catch all the details (fine points are a big thing to me) which you seem to cover fully.

For many years, my reaction to the presence of any one of the three was to get "angry"—or at least "upset." Then I realized that this response served only to make an already stressful and unpleasant situation worse. So I began making a conscious effort to respond to "delay, difficulty, or annoyance" differently. Sometimes the best I could do was "tolerate" their presence. But I kept at it and, with practice, I became better able to "accept" them open-heartedly as an inevitable part of life.
See All Stories In
When I could do this—tolerate and sometimes even accept delay, difficulty, or annoyance—I noticed two things. First, being patient was a way of treating myself with compassion. Compassion is the act of reaching out to those who are suffering—including ourselves. I definitely suffer when I'm impatient, because lack of patience is a stress response to whatever is going on in my life. I can feel the stress in both my mind and my body. And so, cultivating patience is a way of taking care of myself, which is the essence of self-compassion.
1. Recognize that impatience has arisen.
This may not be easy at first. When things aren't going our way (for example, we're stuck in traffic), we tend to think that the cause of our impatience is external to us—what's going out "out there." But, of course, the cause is what's going on in our own minds—that is, our response to whatever circumstances we're facing. So start by setting the intention to watch for impatience arising in your own mind as a response to not getting what you want right away.
You may know some of your triggers already: being put on hold for a long time; getting stuck in a long line; struggling to figure out a computer problem; facing an extended wait at the doctor's office; having to listen to someone take what seems to be an interminably long time to explain something simple (this last one being a trait of mine that tests my own family's patience!).
First, we tend to expect the environment to conform to our expectations: no traffic jams; no absence of parking spaces near our destination; no long lines; no airport delays; no waiting too long for food to arrive at a restaurant.
Second, we tend to expect people to conform to our expectations. They ought to behave the way we think they should behave. "That woman ahead of me in the check-out line should not be making small talk with the cashier." "If he said he'd phone at 3:00, he should phone at 3:00." Even if we're "right" (it is polite, after all, to call at the time you say you will), the fact remains that people often don't live up to our expectations.
Fourth, our expectations are almost always unrealistic when it comes to what goes on in our minds. We think we should be able to control what thoughts and what emotions arise. But unwelcome thoughts and emotions pop up all the time. It's the nature of the mind to think and to emote; in my experience, there's no stopping it. Certainly being impatient doesn't put a stop to it!
Think about these four categories of expectations and see if you can pinpoint which ones you tend to be unrealistic about in your own life. This alone can help you recognize when you're responding with impatience.
2. Investigate how impatience feels in your mind and in your body.
Allowing yourself to really feel the impatience is a major step toward accepting its presence. This is important because, in my experience, I can't begin to transform a stressful mental state until I accept that I'm caught up in it. So, work on becoming well-acquainted with how impatience feels. Is your mind calm or agitated? Is your body relaxed or tensed? I have yet to experience impatience as pleasant in either my mind or my body. And the realization that it feels unpleasant helps motivate me to try and change the way I respond when I'm faced with "delay, difficulty, or annoyance"—our three friends from the dictionary definition.
3. Begin to transform impatience into patience.
Let's start with those times when the environment or people aren't conforming to your expectations: for example, you're stuck in a traffic jam or you find yourself behind that person in the check-out line who's chatting with the cashier. First, notice that you're responding with impatience. Second, pay attention to how it feels in your mind and in your body. Then ask yourself: "Is there anything I can do to change the situation without making matters worse for myself or others?" If the answer is "no" (which it almost always will be), then see if you can find what I'll call "the good" in the situation. By this I mean, begin to focus on something pleasant or interesting while you're waiting.
This is a mindfulness practice, meaning you're making a conscious choice—backed up by effort—to pay attention to everything that's going on in your field of awareness. When I feel impatience arise, I can almost always find something in my present moment experience that arouses my curiosity or interest. This allows me to respond, not in "anger" or "upset" to what's going on, but instead, with patience.
In fact, I try to cultivate friendliness toward those chatterers—to enjoy how they're enjoying each other's company. After all, what's another minute or two in line? If, like me, you have trouble standing for long, you can look for something to lean on or take a wide stance with your legs so you're better balanced. Sometimes I bring a cane.
My point is that, yes, our first choice may be to institute a "no traffic jam on the freeway" rule and a "no chatting at the check-out counter" directive, but most of the time in life, we don't get our first choice. When this happens, if the alternatives are to get upset and angry versus finding a way to make the experience enjoyable, or at least tolerable, I know which one feels better to me.
Then we have those unrealistic expectations about mastering new skills. That expectation partially stems from our cultural conditioning to hurry hurry hurry no matter what we're doing. Yet, if we were to proceed more slowly and patiently, not only would we enjoy ourselves more, but we're likely to do a better job of mastering the skill in question.
[Sometime] you will come face to face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels barreling pell-mell down the hill, utterly out of control and hopeless. No problem.
I love this quotation for two reasons. First, I find it reassuring to know that I'm not alone in having a shrieking, gibbering, madhouse on wheels for a mind. Second, Bhante says, "No problem." I take "no problem" to mean that I can learn to be patient with this "crazy" mind. I can learn not to get upset and angry when unwelcome thoughts and emotions arise, but instead, to calmly accept their presence, knowing that with time the universal law of impermanence will help me out. Conditions will change…and so will my mind.
We can transform impatience into patience. It's well-worth the effort because being patient is a way of treating ourselves with compassion and it also helps us calmly accept things as they are…and that always feels good.

Police in Italy have made more than 100 arrests in two anti-mafia operations, one targeting the 'Ndrangheta mob in the southern region of the country, and the other in Rome, which was the largest mafia raid to take place in the capital.
Authorities on Friday broke up a multi-million euro insurance fraud racket run by the crime syndicate that depended on the collusion of doctors, lawyers and car repair shop owners.
Rodolfo Ruperti, a police official based in Catanzaro, a stronghold of the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta syndicate, said the bosses of the Giampa' clan used the proceeds from the reporting of fake accidents - millions of euros each year - to pay the "salaries'' of rank-and-file mobsters.
A total of 65 warrants were issued, but many of those sought were already in prison for other crimes.
In a separate crackdown in the Rome seaside suburb of Ostia, police aided by search dogs and helicopter surveillance fanned out to arrest 51 people suspected of involvement in a money laundering scam that used the town's bathing establishments and other local businesses, prosecutors and police told a news conference.
Mafia informants
The investigation, aided by information supplied by dissenters from the Sicilian Mafia, probed a series of killings, arson fires and bombings of businesses to intimidate owners into letting mobsters' infiltrate or take over the enterprises.
Italy's anti-mafia initiatives have relied heavily on deserters, but some of the top imprisoned bosses have resisted.
Among those is Bernardo organised, the reputed "boss of bosses'' who was captured in a farmhouse near Corleone, Sicily, in 2006, after decades on the run.
Imprisoned for life for the murders of more than a dozen mobsters, Provenzano has been held in strict conditions prescribed by law for convicted organised crime bosses, including infrequent visits by family members.
On Friday, prosecutors, citing health reasons, gave their backing to less stringent prison conditions for Provenzano, Italian news reports said.
Last year, he had brain surgery after injuring his head in a fall at a top-security prison, and his health has reportedly been deteriorating. The justice ministry must still sign off on any easing of prison conditions for Provenzano.

3 Reasons the Updated Google Trends Tool Will Benefit Journalists
This week, Google announced that it is merging its Google Trends and Insights for Search into one Google Trends tool.
From Google's blog post announcing the move:
Now we are merging Insights for Search into Google Trends, wrapping it all up in a clean new interface to give you a clearer view of what's on the world's mind. The new Google Trends now includes features from both products and makes it easier and more intuitive to dig into the data.
Both Google Trends and Insights for Search have been useful tools in the industry for years, offering journalists a way to see popular search terms and compare keywords, respectively.
While each tool has separate and distinct functions, there are benefits to packaging them into one super tool. Here are three reasons journalists will benefit from this update:

The Challenge: Use BUG in a meaningful way... today
The Proposal: Make BUG a wireless music server everyone can collaboratively add music to, create playlists with, and use.
First: We white board the idea, add in possible functionality, then sketch the concept.
Use Jack Server
BUGmpd connect to JACK
Hook up the Traffic Light in a meaningful way
Bot Bundle "Gong" Functionality
So now we have a quick outline of what we want to do. Port JACK (http://jackaudio.org/) to the BUG, and have that BUG control the music we listen to.
The Hardware:
1 BUGbase 2.0
1 BUGstinger
1 BUGvonhippel
1 Ethernet cable (may be over WiFi later, but for now, ethernet is more reliable)
1 Pair of Speakers
1 Rusty old computer (To hold the music – move to cloud services later?)
1 Traffic Light
Step 1. Tinker:
First, Andrew Turley writes his wish list, then he clutters it with junk
Step 2: Prototype the Traffic lights:
Andrew Tergis and Jonathan Dahan discuss the intricacies of controlling a traffic light with the BUG. What should the light do? Where should it be placed? How do we Future Proof it?
For now, the traffic light will give Buggers some visual feedback of the popularity of the song currently playing. Green means no one hates it, Yellow means it has been tagged as annoying, Red means GONG, and the song is banned from the playlist for the next week or so.
Step 3: Get to work:
Step 4: Hook up the parts:
Plug it in Turley! You can do it! What a sweet looking Ethernet cable.
Step 5: Turn it on:
Pretty Lights!
Step 6: Make it go!
OK, so it isn't beautiful, yet, and we don't have the traffic light set up, yet, and it's pretty obvious it isn't wireless, yet... but it works!
The Software:
We used relaxx as our Music Player Deamon, which makes it act like a regular MP3 player, except this one is usable from the web. Now all employees can send their music to the server, add songs to the playlist, and even skip the bad songs that our Sales Engineer plays. Yes, we are sick of "Where Brooklyn At?" Vish, but thanks for playing.
The Future:
Well we gave ourselves a day to complete the project. We now have music playing from the BUG, and the traffic light is working, but we don't have the IRC bot set up to "Gong" and switch songs yet. I have been advised that this is a small fix that will occur next Friday before we start Solution Sprint #2: The Rise of MotherBug 2.
Check out the lights!
Nice work team :-)
Here is a little more about how we actually did it:
Friday fun-days are proving fruitful. What would YOU do with a BUG and a day?

Women's countdown: No. 1 USC
We are counting down the top 30 women's teams heading into the fall college season.
For the complete countdown, click here.
• • •
No. 1: USC
2012-13 Golfweek rank: 1
Go-to girl: Sophomore Annie Park
Season outlook: The Trojans' biggest problems this season might be managing the lofty expectations that inevitably come from winning a national championship. Last spring's 12-shot victory at the NCAA Championship put the obvious target on USC's back, but the team can't come back this season – even though all five starters return – feeling untouchable.
In addition to returning NCAA champion Annie Park, who swept the postseason in her first semester as a collegian, USC's roster includes three U.S. Golf Association champions (junior Doris Chen, sophomore Kyung Kim and incoming freshman Gabriella Then) plus senior Sophia Popov, the 2010 European Ladies Amateur champion. Head coach Andrea Gaston also returns senior Rachel Morris and adds another top freshman in Karen Chung, which makes USC's bench deeper than in recent years. With last season's short roster, the Trojans didn't have an intense competition for lineup spots. It's something that could take them to an even higher level.
Says Gaston: "It's important to try to help fuel the fire again."

There are all kinds of ways to express the feelings that we have that are sometimes overwhelming. I write. I draw. I paint. I practice yoga. I read. I pray and meditate. I cry. I laugh.
One of our own, a patient here at RMACT, shared a beautiful piece of writing with me. With her permission, I am printing it here, unedited and signed with her initials only. Thoughts on fertility treatment. ~Lisa
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
By choice, I haven't had alcohol in over six months. I thought it would help my fertility. Despite my unfortunate excitement to drink away my sorrow, I lost the taste for my once-cherished Chianti.
Even in the luxurious Waterford crystal glass, allowing the wine to breathe, my taste buds revolted with each smothering sip. I persevered, and finished the glass, never receiving the numbness of intoxication that could have compensated for my newly unearthed distaste of red wine. I wanted to sleep, but the sugar of the wine and my screaming cat, caused a seven a.m. rise and shine. So I headed to fertility-unfriendly, hot yoga to sweat out the toxins.
The class was so crowded, I had to squeeze myself into the front corner - between the person behind me, the left wall, the front window display and the yoga instructor.
Each of the thirty-or-so times I inverted into downward facing dog, my necklace dangled, and its circle charm inscribed "believe" and the baby's feet inside it kicked my face. In the exact moment that I noticed the smell of rotting flowers, the instructor said "I'm so sorry that you're almost doing your yoga into dead flowers. They lasted over a week. I guess it's time to throw them out." Two frozen embryos were transferred. In a little over a week, the good news of my doubling beta subsided, only to learn the progression of my pregnancy had ceased.
In my meditative state, I pondered how Sheryl Crow might write this verse into her hit song "Isn't it Ironic." According to my body, I guess it's time to throw them out.

Restructuring and sale plans to be voted on by debt holders aimed at giving the carrier more breathing room
The future of startup wireless carrier Mobilicity will become clearer in three weeks when debt holders will vote on a shakeup plan that involves restructuring debt and a possible sale of the company.
Mobilicity's parent, Data & Audio Visual Enterprises Holdings Inc., said Friday an Ontario Superior Court justice has approved the plan to hold two meetings of on Tuesday May 21 where arrangements will be voted on.
The restructuring or sale comes at a crucial time for startups like Mobilicity, which face having to put down millions of dollars by June 11 to be eligible to participate in November's auction of wireless spectrum.
It could also decide to sit that auction out and wait for other auctions in the coming years when its financial position will be better, using money in the restructuring to strengthen its network. Or, it could use the money to buy AWS spectrum compatible with its own from owners who aren't using it.
For example, Quebecor Inc.'s Videotron, a Quebec-based cable and wireless carrier, has spectrum covering Toronto that it isn't developing. Vancouver's Novus Wireless has promised to set up a wireless network in that city but so far has yet to do so.
Mobilicity offers service in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, the Toronto area and Ottawa.
Mobilicity, Public Mobile up for sale: Report
The Ontario court decision comes after Toronto-based Catalyst Capital Group, which holds some of the carrier's debt, objected to the refinancing plan announced in February.
Mobilicity said that those entitled to vote at the May 21 meetings will be asked to approve both a recapitalization plan and a sale plan. "These two plans are mutually exclusive," it added, "though both plans are being pursued in parallel so that one of the two plans can be implemented on an expedited timeline.
"If both plans are approved and the sale plan cannot be completed on the terms contemplated, then the recapitalization plan would be engaged."
The sale plan provides a structure for an as yet to be determined purchaser to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Mobilicity, the company said. The purchase price received would be applied to repay all of the outstanding first and second lien debt of Mobilicity, with the remainder being used to repay outstanding unsecured debt securities issued by Mobilicity.
Under the proposed recapitalization plan, the company said, the share capital of Data & Audio-Visual Enterprises Holdings Inc. would be reorganized, certain existing second lien notes would be repaid and Mobilicity would receive additional liquidity to enable it to continue operating.
Mobilicity, which paid just over $243 million for its AWS spectrum in 2008, is led by Toronto entrepreneur John Bitove, with investment from U.S.-based venture capital firmsRelated Download

|Media Update
|I have a scattered update for you guys. First of all, I added the first Letters To God trailer to our media center, so check it out here if you haven't seen it already at the movie's official website. It looks amazing! It seems like Bailee's role will be quite touching. I added a few screencaps to the gallery as well.Also, cheers to Helga, who found Bailee's Sea World Commercial. Bailee filmed it a long time ago and even though she only appears on screen a few seconds, it's definitely worth watching. Helga's amazing find inspired me to search a little deeper on the net to find Bailee's commercials, and it worked!!. I found her Cadillac commercial!. She looks pretty tiny on this one too. Check them both out here. Hope everyone enjoys the new things and has a nice weekend!.

Okay, look. I know you're all, like, "Wait: What's "The Bridge?" Ergo: "The Bridge" is this Swedish, Nordic noir-y TV series I just watched. The first thing I'd like to tell you is that it was amazing and freaky and weird and awesome, and you should watch it. The second is that Martin, the flawed and impossibly lovable womanizer protagonist, is super-nail-able. Chubby, yes, but in that fantastic way that makes you feel both a) thin, and b) like you've got something to grab onto. You'd cuddle up against him amidst some harsh Swedish winter – you'd offer shelter from the literal storm that is the weather, and also the figurative one which is whatever brutal manslaughter case currently consumes him – and when he tells you, "Suga min pung," you'll be nothing but powerless against your urge to oblige.
Martin Rohde in "The Bridge"

I was speaking to a hiring manager the other day (not for my self but just because he's a friend) and he told me that half the people he interviews tell him that they want to do iPhone development. What is really funny about this is that the company he's hiring for has absolutely no need for an iPhone application - something that should be obvious to anyone applying for the job.
Anyway, if you are dreaming about creating iPhone applications for a living you should check out the list of things you should NOT do when submitting iPhone applications to the AppStore. The list of "do not"s are covered in a two part article (Part 1, Part 2), "Avoiding iPhone App Rejection From Apple", by Bloggle With Harish.
In some ways I'm glad to see Apple filtering the applications that can be downloaded from AppStore. If it was an open system without review I would be a lot less likely to download arbitrary applications. The "Big Brother" aspect of Apple's review system does bother me to some degree - but not that much.
The iPhone and AppStore is Apple's platform and if their semi-closed garden is an issue than the market will punish them for it. Besides you should have seen the how difficult it was to develop, get accepted, and distribute mobile applications before Apple introduced the iPhone - now that was a closed garden!

An American, an Englishman, and a Scot: My favorite drivers of all time
Posted on: January 4, 2011 | Comments(15) | Drivers, Fans |
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio the closest race track to my home was Mid-Ohio. I spent most of my summers attending both my father's races and IndyCar races. As a result I developed a love for road course racing and became a diehard fan of the drivers that were the best at turning left and right. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a road course elitist, it was just what I was exposed to and what I enjoyed. It wasn't until I attended my first Pole Day at Indianapolis in 1988 that I realized how incredible oval racing can be.
As most people my age who were/are race fans, growing up there was only one driver who kept my attention at every race. Al Unser Jr. He was always quick at Mid-Ohio and everywhere else for that matter. As a youngster you don't really realize the driving prowess of some of these guys… it's more like cheering for a team, you pick your driver, he's your favorite for whatever reason, and very few things can change that.
Al was super friendly with his fans. I have multiple autographs and pictures with 'Little Al' from my days of running around the paddock. It was only at a later age that I started to realize what a true racer little Al was and is. The guy was quick… EVERYWHERE… and he drove every lap as hard as ever.
In 1993 a new driver entered the picture. Nigel Mansel. I'm not sure what drew my attention to Nigel when I was a kid. It could have been that he was the reigning Formula 1 champion, it could have been that I loved the Texaco Havoline cars, or maybe it was his helmet design. One thing was for sure, despite my Dad's wishes, I was a Nigel Mansel fan. To this day it's the only racing shirt from my childhood that only has ONE autograph on it… Nigel's. I have a Bobby Rahal Kraco shirt that's riddled with autographs, some of which I don't even recognize, but Nigels was reserved for him alone. One of the stories I've heard over and over about Nigel's first days in an IndyCar is in regards to his famed test at Firebird International Raceway where he broke the track record his first time in the car. Apparently, Nigel had a special test he liked to perform on new race cars. The test allowed him to see how the car would handle when he drove it on (and sometimes over) the ragged edge. Today, I miraculously discovered this famous first test in an IndyCar as well as footage of the famed "Spin Test." The entire video is pretty awesome but fast forward to the 5:00 mark if you'd like to skip straight to the "Spin Test."
In 1997 Dario Franchitti came on the scene and would quickly become my favorite for the foreseeable future. Dario had his fair share of shunts that season but the very next year he really put it together. He managed to string together a series of races late in the season (1st, 1st, 4th, 1st, and 2nd) to finish an impressive 3rd in just his second season in an IndyCar. Quite the improvement from his 22nd place finish in his first season. Dario may not be the flashiest of drivers but he's one thing above all else… consistent. Consistent enough that in 1999 he finished 2nd in series standings after he and Juan Pablo Montoya tied in the championship standings. (Juan was awarded the championship with his 7 wins compared to Dario's 3 wins.) Pretty impressive. He only finished outside the top 10 in 4 races out of the 20 race schedule that year. In 2007 Dario continued to show his consistency with his first championship. Dario only finished outside the top 10 ONCE in 2007 as well as only finishing outside the top 5 four times in 20 races. The guy is calm, cool, and calculated… and it's awarded him three championships as a result. He's a legend on street courses and as good as anyone on ovals. A two time Indy 500 winner and to this day, my favorite driver…

Creamy white cauliflower is available year round, and this rich, elegant tart certainly puts a new spin on a vegetable that's often unappreciated. Cauliflower is just sumptuous when roasted till golden brown and crispy, then combined with sweet caramelized onions in a rich, cheesy custard.
We like Flaky Multigrain Pie Crust for this tart, or use your favorite recipe.
The cauliflower and onions can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of assembling the tart, and the pastry crust can be prebaked early in the day for filling and baking later. The finished tart, however, doesn't keep well; if it sits too long, the crust gets soggy (even with blind baking), so enjoy this delicious dish the day it's made.
|1 small
|head Earthbound Farm Organic Cauliflower (about 1 pound, separated into 1-inch florets, about 5 cups)
|2 tablespoons
|truffle oil or olive oil
|Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
|Flaky Multigrain Pie Crust dough for a single-crust pie (wrapped in parchment and refrigerated, or use your favorite recipe, refrigerated and ready to roll out)
|unbleached all-purpose flour (for rolling the dough)
|1 tablespoon
|Dijon mustard
|2 tablespoons
|olive oil
|1 large
|Earthbound Farm Organic Yellow Onion (cut in half through the stem end, then cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices, about 3-1/2 cups)
|2 large
|1 cup
|mascarpone cheese
|1/2 cup
|heavy (whipping) cream
|1/4 teaspoon
|Freshly ground white pepper
|freshly grated nutmeg
|1 cup
|shredded Gruyère cheese (3-1/2 ounces)
|2/3 cup
|freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1-1/2 ounces)
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl, add the truffle oil (or olive oil) and toss to coat. Transfer the florets to a rimmed baking sheet, arranging them so they don't touch one another, and season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Then flip the florets with a spatula and continue cooking until the cauliflower is tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes more. Set the florets aside to cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
Remove the Multigrain Pie Crust dough from the refrigerator and open the parchment paper to a flat rectangle. Let the dough sit at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes to soften. If the dough is too cold or hard, it will crack when you try to roll it out. (If you're using your own dough recipe, this may not be necessary.)
Lightly dust a rolling pin and the top surface of the dough with flour. Roll the dough into an 11-inch round and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Pat the dough into the pan and up the sides, then roll the pin around the edges to trim off any excess. Brush off any excess flour with a pastry brush. If there are holes or cracks, press the dough back together or patch them with small bits of extra dough. Line the tart shell with parchment, and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lift out the paper and pie weights. Lightly prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork and return the sheet to the oven. Bake the pastry until it dries slightly and begins to take on a faint color, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, set the tart pan on a wire rack and allow the crust to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Then carefully brush the bottom and sides of the pastry shell with the mustard. Set aside at room temperature.
While the crust is baking, cook the onions. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-low heat. When it's warm, add the olive oil. Add the onion slices and cook, stirring frequently, until they soften and caramelize, 30 to 40 minutes. Be patient and do this slowly; the onions should be golden, not brown.
While the onions are cooking, thinly slice the roasted cauliflower florets and set them aside.
Transfer the caramelized onions to the prebaked tart shell and spread them out in a thin layer. Top with the sliced roasted cauliflower. Transfer the tart pan to a rimmed baking sheet.
Combine the eggs, mascarpone, cream, white pepper and nutmeg in a medium-size bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the Gruyère. Pour the mixture over the cauliflower and onions in the tart shell and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top. Bake until the tart is puffed, set in the center and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
Transfer the tart to a wire rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

What is the actual age of the following ponies:
- Twilight Sparkle
- Pinkie Pie
- Rarity
- Apple Jack
- Rainbow Dash
- Fluttershy
- Princess Luna
- Princess Celestia
- Granny Smith
So let's add some constraints:
- They live on their own.
- Fluttershy is one year older than Pinkie Pie.
- Princess Luna were banished to the moon for 1000 years.
- Princess Celestia is older than Princess Luna.
- Despite the fact that Granny Smith looks pretty old, Princess Luna and Celestia don't.
- Spike is younger than Twilight Sparkle, I know that that Spike is not a pony.
- We know that Twilight Sparkle has coursed magic kindergarten, so we can assume that she is at least 6 years old.
- Since no pony is studying in a college we can assume that they're 17 or older.
- After reviewing some chapters I found out that Rainbow Dash is at least 20% cooler that any other pony.
