Pooh's House
If you go down to the Waikanae River, and walk along the north bank you might notice this little door in a tree by the side of the path.
If you bend over and open the door you're in for a big surprise. Inside Pooh and friends are partying hard.
Everytime I've visited I've caught them in a different arrangement. The obvious explanation is that here at last is the parallel universe where toys come to life when there's no one looking, and then freeze when the door opens.
On the one day I had a camera with me, they were engaged in a relatively civalized tea party. Last time I checked it looked like I had interrupted an orgy.

First birth day
I woke at midnight
to stumble under moon and comet,
stars blistering the sky,
belly swollen full with you
bursting to get out today.
Our journeys that morning
were in a darkness so bright and clear
that pain was transformed
and you were born into the light
on a wave of bliss.
Every year you grew more defined,
emerging from the fog of babyhood
and the battles of childhood
with determination and joie de vivre;
with a talent for being loved
and constancy in your loving.
This birthday
Since you first woke me to welcome the dawn
you have taught me how to love well,
and now my heart cannot contain my delight.
The universe would have to explode into symphonies
with quivering supernovas of dancing spacegypsies
splattering honey across galaxies
under infinite rainbows of gold and indigo
lighting up black holes
in glorious commemorationof all I feel for you.

Pretty Girl = belle
Crimson Rose = red
Put BELLE into red and you get reBELLEd
Since the cryptic crossword post prompted more comments than anything else I've written for a while, I assume that you guys are interested in this subject. So, let me tell you about this clue I just worked out: Beserk now. All right following morning (4)
All right=OK
OK following AM is AMOK which means beserk.
Cool huh?
Here's an one for you from the same David Tossman crossword in a December Listener:
Make hardier variety of carrot top (3,4)
Hint: 'variety' is an anagram indicator
I glimpsed a Guardian with crossword at a friend's house this morning and I recognised Janus as one of the clue setters written about in Pretty Girl and felt a flash of the feeling that I get when I see a book/record/movie that I've read a good review about. We were doing yoga at the time so I didn't ask then if I could have her paper when she's finished with it and later I forgot, but if you are reading this Jo (though I'm pretty sure you don't), can I have your old Guardian please?

Nothin' much
Two days later I'm trusting that the traffic has eased and my own journey to the Big Smoke will be swift and no more painful than necessary in a car where the tape player is jammed on a road with long stretches without radio reception. I've been avoiding the city for many weeks now but I think I'm ready to cope with concrete and crowds for a day. As always, I'm looking forward to a leisurely browse in my favourite public library- my personal equivalent of retail therapy- dosing up on quality contemporary sci-fi.

Pretty Girl in Crimson Rose (8)
The book is a memoir (written when he was the same age as I am now- how can I be old enough to warrant a memoir!?) of a life as a South African immigrant to England, his relationship with his girlfriend and growing passion for crosswords. It weaves together themes of world politics and national identity with personal memories and a lot of interesting and useful information about cryptic crosswords.
My dismal personal best of completing two clues in a cryptic grid (maintained for many years of desultry bafflement) doubled to four clues by the time I was half way through the book. I have dreamed about or in crosswords for the last few nights (weird dream objects/scenes in grids of black or white boxes). My absorbtion of the cryptic approach was sufficient that before I finished the book late last night (reading out loud the final few chapters to laughter and tears) I had completed half, that's right HALF, of the Listener crossword.
The light has dawned, at least partially. The other half remains in bafflingly obscure shadow, but my approach is now systematic rather than desultry. I am comforted by Sandy Balfour's confession that it took him seven years of keen solving before he completed a whole grid on his own. Mind you, he refers to British 'broadsheet' puzzles such as the Guardian and Times (and discusses at length the cultural meaning of their different settting styles), which I suspect are much harder to solve than the Listener. But I am a complete novice so I'm not sure about that. Those stubborn second half of David Tossman's clues may be of British broadsheet standard.
I'm very pleased with my progress but am painfully aware of how far I have to go. Even when I successfully solve the word game part of the clue (anangram or other manipulations) often I'm at a loss to understand the cryptic reference. Pretty Girl in Crimson Rose (8) has raised my expectations regarding clue's multiple layers of meaning and the significance of every word or letter but I just don't get it most of the time. Ah well, I look forward to a lifetime of pleasurably plugging away.

New Toy for the Boy
First there was the endless searching and bidding and losing auctions for second-hand mowers on Trade Me. Then there was the mower paid for but rejected on pick up because it was not as promised and wholly unsuitable for mowing conditions at Te Horo. Then there were the long afternoons of minutely detailed examinations of brand-new mowers that cost more than my car did.
Then finally, the successful bid on the new mower through Trade Me, the subsequent long wait for the seller to return from some trip and ship it out and the exciting moment of the huge box's arrival. Then the long, loving, careful unpacking, assembling and servicing of the new mower (including an thrilling few minutes where I played my most significant role in the whole business by finding the 'missing' piece still hidden in the packaging material). And then the crushing disappointment of finding that despite being Brand New, the bloody thing didn't work. Numerous phone calls and emails followed to negotiate solutions and finally today we had delivery of replacement blades.
Oh glory be, the new blades work and Al is whizzing back and forth outside my window leaving trails of smooth lawn in our shaggy meadow as the motor purrs like a happy cat. Thank you thank you thank you.

Kapiti's Edible Books
Teresa Francis set the tone with her gingerbread hearts spelling out Kapiti Book Arts-delicious dunked into tea and coffee.
Fiction and Chips (A Battered Book) by Ngaere MacKinnon was not very inviting to eat, but wonderful to look at. She dipped an old Georgette Heyer novel in batter and deep fried it to a golden crisp, served wrapped in newsprint with chips. This was personal pick for 'best concept.'
Loll-eata by Carol Devlin was a lolly cake sewn onto raised cords (of licorice). Sinfully sweet and possibly the most technically adept of our edible books structures today.
Brigid Grant's Cheese Straws was a flaky pastry and cheese concoction which looked very book-like before being served up with crudites and blue cheese dip.
Prue Townsend ruefully named her work Failed Florentines but as a book structure this was a winner. Based on Clair van Viet's Narcissus hanging scroll structure variation on Aunt Sally's Lament, this edible book had serious book arts credentials which more than compensated for the florentines being not quite as chewy as Prue would have liked.
Dawn Ellen's little Prayer Book combined fruit leather and mountain bread in honor of Easter.
And me, well I did another version of the Mexican landscape book I pictured last week. It didn't look quite as good today (though it tasted just as yummy). The main difference was that in honour of Kristin, our guest from Arizona, I renamed it an Arizona landscape.

Stonehenge Aotearoa
Our weekend visit to the Wairarapa involved more than just alpacas. I also persuaded everyone to check out Stonehenge Aotearoa (right above). Our hosts Brian and Colleen had watched it being built on the neighbouring hilltop and have enjoyed its dramatic addition to the skyline but they had never been there! I've wanted to go since I first heard about it, while it was still being built. Unfortunately, by the time it opened to the public last February I was living far away in Northland. When I saw the Stonehenge sign as we drove towards our friend's place, I began to lobby for it to replace the Pinnacles on our weekend itinerary.
The tour party we were in consisted of the Wellington Triumph motorcycle club, ten men and ten women in leather who roared up on their ten bikes, a young, attractive, stylish gay couple, and us. But there really wasn't a chance to chat with the other punters because the show was so intensive. Our guide, Jennifer, conveyed her passion for astronomy, past and present, with lyricism and clarity, speaking for an hour and a half almost without pause. It was one of the most educational experiences I've had in years in terms of the sheer volume of information that I managed to pay attention to.
The Stonehenge itself is a bit of a letdown in the daytime, the only time that the public can access it. Like the original on Salisbury (and all the other astronomical stone circles around the world) it is designed for night use, to follow the movements of the rising and setting sun and stars accurately predict seasonal changes and astronomical events like eclipses. But it is a special place to be, with amazing acoustics and an awesome 360 vista of the Wairarapa.

Bringing Peace
...Do I have a story for you. I'm back working again and Monday and Tuesday for the first time in a year I was one of four authors doing writing workshops for grades 4-6 students during our spring break.
I always show them how to make some simple book structures and take a small collection of the handmade books I own. I think this gives them an incentive to do the best writing they can and to think about actually making books from their work. This year I added "Karori Sanctuary" - people are always stunned that I take my good books to show "children" but I find they treat them with reverence and delight.
Anyway there was this one fellow in the gr. 5/6 group I had on Tuesday morning who spent a lot of time at the book table - later when I was walking around I noticed your book at his table and he said to me excitedly (paraphrasing but pretty accurate) "Mrs. Harris this is the most amazing book - but even more than how it looks, the poem makes me feel so peaceful, I've never felt like this before. I hope you don't mind but I copied it out in my book so I could read it when I needed to." On a single sheet he'd written out your poem, all the bibliographic information and the workshop name and date and my name. All around the poem, as a frame, he had written the leaf names. Then he said "Even just reading the names out brings me peace."
He thanked me profusely at the end of class and then at the end of the day when I was leaving he came and gave me a hug and thanked me again for bringing your book.
I thought you'd like to hear this. As I told you, Karori Sanctuary is one of my favourites and it was sheer magic to see the effect it had on this kid.
Sunday, April 02, 2006
I'm just back from a weekend in the Wairarapa. We stayed with Brian and Colleen who share one and a half hectares with four male alpacas. Oh, they are so cute! (The alpacas, I mean, though B & C are very nice too). With their limpid brown eyes and sweeping long lashes, their soft fuzzy coats, camel necks (and feet) and soft furry lips. They are tame enough to eat from our hands but not willing to be petted, despite inspiring a strong desire in me to cuddle them. They are elegant as well as cute though and can have an air of dignity and aloofness.
These four boys originally came from a herd of 50 and seem to miss the crowd. We saw them trying to get to know the bull in the nextdoor paddock. He reached his nose over the fence for a kiss/sniff which obviously overstepped the bounds of alpaca etiquitte. A little spit in his eye from the lead alpaca had him jump in surprise, but luckily not retreat from their ongoing conversation.
In the Andes, pumas are the most dangerous predator that alpacas face. The two cats on the Wairarapa property kept them very alert at first, but after the puma-kitten-sized felines failed to grow into alpaca-threatening-sized predators they aren't so concerned.
They are not keen on dogs either. Brian and Colleen told us that a few days ago someone had been walking their dog along the road, and all the alpacas assembled on the highest point in their enclosure to bark menacingly at said dog from a safe distance (alpaca barking sounds like human laughter). But when Brian emerged from his shed to see what all the fuss was about, the alpacas were emboldened to rush to the fence and bark directly at the dog (who apparently was unconcerned by all this fuss).

Okay, my daughter Elinor, age 10, didn't actually want to eat this salad, but, because she grew these broad beans herself, she was enchanted to see her crop mature into edible vegetables. And there is something so rewarding about planting seeds and seeing them transform into fresh, crunchy things you can eat. To the credit of my children, they have, over time, eagerly planted all sorts of things: seeds, seedlings, marbles, socks, toys, fish-fingers, stiff hamsters, rigid budgies and, on one memorable occasion, a bare foot through a glass window. Mostly, the results of these plantings have been pathetic (and painful and expensive, in the case of the foot). Small children have no patience, and they lose interest so quickly. Watering a seedling that shows no inclination to turn into a carrot within four hours holds no appeal for a child. Particularly - and this was my mistake in my earlier mommy-gardening years - if it was sown in a barren, shady patch at the saddest end of the garden.
She was quite right (thanks, Tracey!). My garden jungled, and twelve months later, when a black frost killed the ornamental shrubs in a 50-cm-wide strip running down one garden wall, I pulled them out, recomposted the beds and planted every vegetable and herb and tree that I could lay my hands on. The reward: bountiful crops of lovely fresh greens and veggies. Which just goes to show that you really don't need a lot of space to grow your own food.
Anyway, Elinor has eagerly inspected her mustard greens, rocket, lettuce, carrots and broad beans - all grown from packets - every day for months. And when the beans were finally harvested and eaten - by me, greedily, and with slurping noises - well, this girl was in heaven: I heard her singing as she picked her crop.
This is not to say that there is any monetary profit whatsoever in growing your own vegetables on a small scale (although it's definitely cheaper to grow your own herbs). The yield is really tiny, and it's far, far cheaper to buy them from your local greengrocer. But, then again, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you've shown your child how to grow something, and how delicious that something tastes like when it is plucked straight out of the earth. You will also know exactly where that produce came from, and you can even bask in the knowledge that it is really, truly and terribly organic. (See my post about the dubious greeniness of growing your own veg).
This recipe needs and deserves a hot poached egg, with a runny centre. If you are not confident about poaching an egg in boiling water (and this is extremely tricky, given the humdrum quality of South African eggs), use my cling-film method, which you will find in the recipe below.
Elinor's Salad of Broad Beans and Asparagus, topped with a Poached Egg and Parmesan Shavings
For the dressing:
a small clove of fresh garlic, peeled
a pinch of salt
4 T (60 ml) olive oil
the juice of a lemon
half a teaspoon (2.5 ml) Dijon mustard
For the salad:
1 cup (250 ml) fresh broad beans [fava beans], taken out of their pods
10 small spears of fresh asparagus, sliced into 3-cm-long pieces
a handful (about half a cup; 125 ml) flat-leaf parsley, very finely chopped
2 fresh eggs
1 T (25 ml) white vinegar (see notes below about egg-poaching)
a small wedge of Parmesan cheese (Grana Padano or Pecorino will do)
freshly milled black pepper
First make the dressing. Crush the garlic (in a mortar, with the salt, or with a garlic crusher) and, in a little bowl, whisk it together with the other dressing ingredients.
Bring a pan of salted water to a rolling boil. Tip in all the broad beans, and cook for three minutes. Remove from the boiling water, using a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl. If you are dealing with big broad beans, slip off their white skins by making a small slit with a knife and squeezing them gently. If they are tiny, leave them as they are. Now add the asparagus to the water and cook at a rapid boil for 4-5 minutes, or until just tender. Remove, drain well and add to the bowl containing the beans. Leave the water boiling.
Now poach the eggs: if you're using the traditional method, add a splash of white vinegar to the water, which should be gently boiling. Break the first egg into a tea cup. Using a big spoon, stir the water rapidly to create a vortex. Gently tip the egg into the boiling water. Poach for three to four minutes, or until the egg white is cooked through, but the yolk is still runny. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and set aside. Do the same with the second egg.
Or, use my cheat's method: press a piece of clingfilm (saran wrap) into a ramekin dish or teacup, or a similarly sized bowl. Allow the clingfilm generously to overlap the edges of the dish. Using your fingers, rub a little vegetable oil over the surface of the clingfilm (but only over those parts pressed up against the edges of the bowl). Break the egg - keeping its yolk intact - into the lined dish. Now gather up the edges, pull them upwards and twist them lightly together to make a small 'purse'. Submerge the 'purse' in the boiling water. You will need to hold this package while it cooks, or, at a pinch, you can drape its edges over the side of the pan. Cook for two and a half to three minutes, or until the egg white is cooked through, but the yolk is hot but still runny. Lift the purse from the water and put it on a chopping board. Carefully peel away and flatten the clingfilm. Gently slide a metal spatula under the egg to loosen it, taking care not to break the yolk. Trim away any ragged edges, using a sharp knife.
Pour the dressing over the warm beans and asparagus and stir in the chopped parsley. Toss well to combine and season with salt and pepper. Pile the salad onto a plate and top with the hot poached eggs. Using a potato peeler, shave thin slices off the cheese and scatter them over the salad. Serve immediately.
Serves 2.

Marcus Lattimore's pro day wasn't just a normal pro day. It was a celebration.
The South Carolina running back was able to work out Wednesday, less than six months after he had surgery to repair a devastating anterior cruciate, lateral collateral and posterior cruciate ligament injury. All 32 NFL teams were in attendance. They burst out in applause after Lattimore was done, according to USA Today's Robert Klemko.
"It was crazy," Lattimore said. "I did not expect that at all. Pretty much every scout came up to me and said that was amazing and inspiring."
Lattimore caught passes and did some agility drills, but he still has a long way to go before he's fully healthy. Still, there is some optimism he could play in 2013. Lattimore told The State he had "no doubt" that he will play in the first half of the 2013, which jibes with what he told NFL.com's Jeff Darlington last month.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said Lattimore "may have jumped into the first round" with his performance Wednesday. We wouldn't go that far, but there's no question that Lattimore would have been this draft class' top running back before his injury. Teams might be willing to take a risk on Lattimore's injury because of that immense talent, like the Buffalo Bills once did with Willis McGahee, selecting him 23rd overall in the 2003 NFL Draft.
Don't be too surprised if Lattimore goes higher than draftniks project. Just like McGahee.
"I want to be an inspiration," Lattimore said. "To let people know that with hard work, and when you trust in God, you can come back from anything and do anything."Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Android Viruses
I was recently wondering about the situation in Android because the field is somewhat unified with limited number of variants. Anyone who writes an application can get entry into the Android market and peddle their apps. This is great for reaffirming the open source and free nature of the Android operating system but is quite a nightmare in terms of security.
And sure enough, I spotted this article:
I am kind of spooked. I try out random apps all the time and I certainly am one of those people who just says yes to the permissions screen. No one, apart from expert hackers can actually tell whether or not an app is going to cause extensive harm just by looking at them in a cursory fashion. But everyone can definitely pay more attention when it comes to what apps they choose to install.
I am going to start a running list of apps I have on my android devices here, I started this for chrome apps a while back but it has fallen into oblivion. I need to revive that as well. Hacking chrome is somewhat tougher but the basic playing ground is the same. I think, for non-hackers, knowledge about the apps they are using is 3/4ths of the battle against the viruses. The other 1/4ths is resisting temptation to download chunks of the whole marketplace willy nilly.

Class 2? Class 4? Class 10? What?!
It blows my mind that someone actually took the time to benchmark all these cards:
Sandisk 16 GB Class 2 Read: 7.5 MB/sec Write: 5.5 MB/sec
Samsung 8 GB Class 6 Read: 16.8 MB/sec Write: 7.6 MB/sec
Lexar 32 GB Class 10 Read: 20.3 MB/sec Write: 8.1 MB/sec
And those numbers don't tell the entire story. Apparently the higher classes have a tendency to burn out faster.
Nothing is simple anymore. I should have known that.

Whack that wacom pen stylus!
You just whack the stylus against a padded surface (for example, your palm) till it starts behaving. The technique works around 70% of the time. For the 30% of the times it doesn't, even if you are tempted to search ebay and random shady websites for replacements, grit your teeth and whack the stylus a few times more. Chances are, the beating you gave it earlier is not sufficient enough to make the errant stylus realize who is the master here.
Wacom. Whack 'em.
NB: I am really not sure how much more whacking the pen can take. Maybe I should get a replacement.

So little time. So much to read
Reading on the computer screen is nice and all, but I want to be able to interact with the pages like I would with paper. I have a Nexus S and a Nexus One, but the screens are too tiny. I am thinking 10" reading area or more would be a far better idea.
Guess it's time for a tablet. A big generously-size Android tablet. (Apple is out of question). Strongly leaning towards the Le Pan II.

The publisher known for bringing quirky Japanese titles stateside is getting into the Naruto business this fall, with two new Naruto Shippuden games coming to the Nintendo Wii and DS this November courtesy of Atlus.
The company that brings us regular installments of the Shin Megami Tensei series has signed an agreement with Tomy to distribute Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles for the Wii and Naruto Shippuden: Naruto vs. Sasuke for the Nintendo DS in North America, with both games due out on November 16.
Dragon Blade Chronicles for the Wii sees Naruto and Sasuke seeking out the power behind Genryu, the Elemental Dragons. Players will seek out orbs to power up their Dragon Blade, collect skill scrolls to enhance their powers, and fight gigantic boss monsters on a quest to save the world.
Dragon Blade Chronicles retails for $39.99, but Amazon is carrying a special version that comes with five PVC figures for $69.99, while GameStop preorder customers get a hat.
Naruto Shippuden: Naruto vs. Sasuke for the DS pits two of the anime's most popular characters against each other, with wireless four-player multiplayer and a new Boss Rush mode to keep you on your toes.
It retails for $29.99, with an Amazon figure set for $59.99. GameStop preorders still get a hat.
Atlus fans might be a little miffed that their favorite publishers is now distributing Naruto titles, but look at it this way: The more money Atlus makes on this deal, the better the chances of Catherine making it stateside.

HDD Pictures of Small Kitchen Designs and Simple Decoration
No matter what, you cannot make the room become the weird one because of the wrong kind of composition that you put inside there. Then, the right kitchen design should really be your own priority, because you understand the importance of this room's function for your day. The good quality of its atmosphere will bring big effect for your mood in the daily activity, so you need to make sure that you combine right kind of art harmony inside the room.

ryanz necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 10 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
We are a tech group who started this company but are lacking the creative design for the look and feel of our web site. The site is to promote inventory management, trading and community for collectors (IE: baseball cards, barbies, etc). We are a start up and launching the site in mid July at a small national collector's conference focused on one of the personal collection types. A good creative design, no childish, but keeping it clean and professional is what we are looking for. Keep it simple is best :) Thanks!!
This site will be visited by both young and old, male and female, so a clean simple look is ideal. As a new site, there is no current traffic as we don't launch for a month still. Look and feel like a facebook/ebay/google with some light flair :). Users will, after login, be greeted by their dashboard to display their collection inventory. They can add and remove items from a visual catalog of items. There is a forum for users to communicate and share amongst each other. Users are all collectors, passionate about their hobby and will be segregated into their own collection specific communities.
We are needing a 'look and feel' for our website. "Layered PNG or PSD file, no XHTML/CSS needed.".
Login page will have general site info and login/create account info. Design will be carried through to user dashboard where user collection specifics can be displayed, viewed and edited.
We will want something we can grow with and kept 'specific collection agnostic' so as we add collection types. Please no pictures of items.
No cartoons, nothing overly formal. Trying not to say 'bland' but fresh and clean with a welcoming feel.
No stock photos/clip art please.
The logo is just KLECT in a bold type, so there is no color or design constraint there.
Colors are open, some interest in a light, fresh green (not bright or pastel). No black background please. White preferred.
Colors preferred to be with a transparency so to not overwhelm, as the screens will have thumbnail images of items on them.
Feel free to ask questions too at : firstname.lastname@example.com
We have a rough example in photoshop based on stamps but this is just an example for a clean look and feel. This was the extent of our abilities :)
Really looking forward to your submission and design!

Colorado GOP lawmakers attempt to defund Clean Power Plan work
UPDATED, Tuesday 3 p.m.: For the second day in a row, Republican lawmakers attempted and failed to defund efforts to advance the Clean Power Plan in Colorado. But the money for the state's air pollution division remains in jeopardy.
The shots are aimed at Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who pledged to continue working on the regulations to cut carbon dioxide emission from power plants despite a U.S. Supreme Court order to halt implementation until legal challenges are finished.
The latest came Tuesday when the Senate considered a supplemental budget bill for the Department of Public Health and Environment. Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, proposed a $200,000 cut from department's budget based on estimates from the agency about how much it will spend on the Clean Power Plan efforts.
"We shouldn't be wasting taxpayer dollars trying to implement this," he said.

Strapya World is carrying a number of cases for iPhones that, depending on taste (or whether you subscribe to the need for a case at all), might be worth looking into.
There are seven in total: four Sega cases, two Final Fantasy cases and a retro Famicom cover. The Final Fantasy ones are made of silicon and are from Advent Children, while the Famicom one is a "hard case".
My faves are the Sega covers, though, especially the three designs for the Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast.
They vary in price between USD$16 and USD$40

Clothing also can affect your ability to perform safely and responsibly. Select clothing based on the weather you expect, while being prepared for the worst.
In warm weather, wear a hat and light clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible to prevent heat exhaustion or sunburn.
Cold weather conditions call for clothing that is worn in layers. Layers offer superior insulation. Also, as weather warms up, you can shed a layer at a time to stay comfortable. Layers should include:
- A vapor transmission layer (material such as polypropylene)—worn next to the body; it should release moisture from the skin while retaining warmth.
- An insulating layer—weightier or bulkier; it should hold warm air around you.
- A protective outer layer—available in various weights and materials according to conditions; it should protect the inner layers from water and wind.
The most important clothing choices are a daylight fluorescent orange hat and daylight fluorescent orange outerwear—a shirt, vest, or jacket. Daylight fluorescent orange clothing makes it easier for one hunter to spot and recognize another hunter because nothing in nature matches this color. The orange color of the clothing should be plainly visible from all directions. This is required by law in many states.

- Haley
Hey. You found my secret spot. Looks good, right? We've got the whole place to ourselves.
- Haley
- Haley
What? What is that?
- Haley
That's definitely not a safe way to dress. I can barely see him in there.
- Haley
What? Oh, you're right. He should be wearing blaze orange.
- Haley
Hello! Hunter—over here. Do you have any blaze orange? We can't see you very well.
- Voiceover
Spotting a hunter wearing all camo is hard. Try it yourself with the following clips. You have five seconds for each image.
- Haley
There we go. Thank you. We can see you much better now. Safe hunting. Wow. That could have been a really bad situation. He's lucky we saw him. Well, obviously, we can't hunt in this direction. So let's check it out over here.
- Haley
What? What is going on here?
- Haley
Whoa, that is crazy. Can you tell if that is one person or two? OK, I see what's going on—there are two people out there, but they don't have enough blaze orange on. What is the deal? It's like we're the blaze orange police today. Hello? Fellas? Do you have any more blaze orange?
- Haley
Thank you. Safe hunting. OK, so one of the reasons we wear blaze orange is so that other hunters can clearly see us as other hunters. But not all patterns and fabrics are created equal. So how would you dress if you were hunting?
- Haley
Any old orange shirt? Hat only? Orange vest? Full, bright blaze orange top and hat? Blaze orange camo? A blaze orange blazer?
- Haley
Blazer? Really? Well, it may be the most stylish option, but you're probably better off saving the blazer for after the hunt. Try another one. Now that you've made your choice, watch what happens as the hunter goes deeper into the woods.
- Haley
Clearly, a full blaze orange top and hat is the most visible. You made your choice—was this what you picked? Remember, wearing blaze orange is to keep you safe. In fact, many hunting accidents happen when the victim doesn't have enough blaze orange on. One more thing to note—you might think a blaze orange vest on its own is enough. But take a look at these different orange vests.
- Haley
Notice, for instance, the hunter on the far left who's standing sideways in his vest? Now, how well can you see each of these as they move back into the forest? Once again, you can simply see the more blaze orange you wear, the more visible you are in the forest. OK, so obviously, my secret spot is not such a secret anymore. But wearing blaze orange is going to keep us safe, and it's going to keep us visible while we find another, less-crowded spot.
The cameraman hands Haley a binocular.
The cameraman points toward the tree line.
She looks through the binoculars and sees a man in camouflage.
The cameraman taps Haley on the shoulder and tugs at the hood of her orange sweatshirt.
On screen: BLAZE ORANGE: Safety Orange. Intense fluorescent orange color with high visibility even in dim light. A graph shows blaze orange's location on the electromagnetic spectrum of visible light.
On screen, five seconds tick by in each of two scenes before an almost-invisible hunter in camouflage reveals himself by putting on a blaze orange shirt and hat. At the end of the third five-second clip, three hunters are revealed.
The hunter Haley spotted puts on his own blaze orange.
Haley looks through her binocular.
We see a blaze orange hat and vest against a grassy hill in the distance.
One of the hunters adds a blaze orange vest.
On screen: BLAZE ORANGE COMPARISONS
On screen, a cursor selects the blazer.
The screen splits, and we watch all five hunters walk farther into the trees wearing their blaze orange. By a 30-foot distance, the regular orange shirt and orange hat only are almost invisible. At 55 feet, only the blaze orange top and hat selection is still noticeable.
On screen, five different orange vests or jackets provide a variety of visibility.
Other Clothing Essentials
- A hat or cap with earflaps and gloves to retain body heat—most body heat is lost through the head and hands; gloves also protect your hands from abrasions and rope burns
- Footwear that is sturdy, suitable for the conditions you'll encounter, and broken in before the hunt
- Two layers of socks—polypropylene against the skin and a wool outer layer

Over the last several hundred years, France has been the most influential country in the wine world. France is the source of more well-known grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah) and winemaking practices than any other country. The names of many French wine regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne are well-known throughout the world, and the style of top French wines have long been the benchmark for winemaking in most wine-producing countries of the world.
French law divides wine into 3 categories: VDF (Vin De France) carries with it only the producer and the designation that it is from France. IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) carries with it a specific region within France (for example IGP Languedoc). AOC (Appellation d'Origine Controlee) Wine from a particular area with many other restrictions, including grape varieties & winemaking methods.
Languedoc Roussillon
The Languedoc Roussillon is an area located along the Mediterranean coastline from the French border with Spain to the region of Provence. It's by far the largest region in terms of vineyard surface.
As suggested by the double-barreled name, Languedoc-Roussillon was once two independent regions – Languedoc and Roussillon. Although the worlds of wine politics and commerce have enduringly grouped the two together, geography and culture separate them; Languedoc is quintessentially French in character, whereas the strong influences of Spanish and Catalan culture are clear across Roussillon.
Languedoc-Roussillon is the home of some of France's most innovative producers, which usually try to combine traditional French wine and international styles and don't hesitate to take lessons from the New World. Much Languedoc-Roussillon wine is sold as Vin de Pays d'Oc and they are showing significant progress in the quality of its wines.

Johann Werner was born in Nuremberg, Bavaria, three years before the painter and mathematician Albrecht Dürer was born in the same city. (In fact in later life Dürer consulted Werner on mathematical matters.) Werner, in later life writing about his upbringing, said that, from early childhood, he knew he would be a mathematician.
On 21 September 1484 he entered the university at Ingolstadt, also in Bavaria. The university had been founded just four years after Werner's birth; in fact this university moved to Landshut in 1800 and then to Munich in 1826 becoming the present University of Munich. After studying in Ingolstadt, Werner was appointed chaplain in Herzogenaurach in 1490. He moved to Rome in 1493 where he was ordained a priest. He returned to Nuremberg in 1497 and celebrated his first mass in the church of St Sebald on 29 April 1498. He became the parish priest at a small church in Wöhrd, just outside the city, in 1503 but by 1508 he was the priest at the Church of St John (St Johannis) in the city of Nuremberg. He continued as a priest at this church until his death in 1522. Folkerts writes [1]:-
Werner was reputed to have been "very diligent" in carrying out all official responsibilities. Since his pastoral duties were rather limited, he devoted much time to scientific study.Werner's main scientific work was on astronomy, mathematics and geography. In astronomy he followed Regiomontanus, having access to all his writings which he studied carefully, while on the practical side was a skilled maker of instruments. His instruments include astrolabes, clocks, sundials, improved versions of Jacob's staff, and instruments to solve theoretical problems in spherical astronomy. He gave a description of a cross-staff with an angular scale on the staff from which degrees could be read off. Also a skilled observer with instruments of his own and those made by others, he recorded a comet on 1 June 1500 and kept a record of observations until 24 June 1500.
Werner's most famous work on astronomy and geography is In Hoc Opere Haec Continentur Nova Translatio Primi Libri Geographicae Cl Ptolomaei Ⓣ written in 1514. This book contains a translation of the Ptolemy's Geography with a commentary by Werner himself. He gives a method to determine longitude based on eclipses of the Moon (which had been suggested earlier by Regiomontanus). In addition, Werner suggested using the position of the Moon between the stars or the distance of the Moon from the Sun to allow an absolute time to be calculated. Then a calculation of local time would give the longitude. Later Peter Apianus and Gemma Frisius adopted Werner's ideas on determining longitude but when Werner suggested these ideas they were not really practical as sufficiently precise ephemeres could not be prepared. Werner suggested using for these measurements a cross-staff of the type which sailors already used for determining the latitude of a ship at sea by measuring the height of the pole star. Werner wrote:-
Our aim is to find the distance in longitude between two distant places. The geographer will be in one of these places and will measure with a cross-staff the distance of the Moon from a star on the Ecliptic. If then we divide this distance by the velocity of the Moon per hour, we will know at what time in the future the Moon will be in conjunction with this body.In mathematics Werner worked on spherical trigonometry and conic sections. A work on spherical triangles was not published during his lifetime but was published in 1907 around 400 years after it was written. He was the first to use the formula
2sin(a)sin(b) = cos(a-b) - cos(a+b)as an aid to calculation. This was used by Rheticus and Brahe and others up to the invention of logarithms.
Some historians have suggested that Werner was the last writer in the medieval tradition of conic sections to produce anything original. He seems to have based his ideas on work by Giorgio Valla, on the Speculi almukefi compositio Ⓣ (in Regiomontanus's version), as well as on the short but influential anonymous work De duabus lineis Ⓣ whch had been translated by Johannes of Palermo, a member of Frederick II's court along with Fibonacci in the early thirteenth century. Werner's selection of the particular parts of the material to be included in his own work was largely based on what he needed for those parts of his omnibus volume of 1522 on the duplication of the cube and the section of the sphere. Werner's work was not much cited at the time but this is most likely because a translation of the Conics of Apollonius soon led to it being superfluous. His work on the duplication of the cube was not original but simply collected eleven methods which were known to the ancient Greeks. Perhaps of more interest is a series of twelve supplementary notes to this work. In one of these he shows that light is focused by a parabolic mirror.
Werner studied several other topics and we mention one, namely weather forecasting. Between 1513 and 1520, he made the first regular observations of the weather conditions in Germany. Regula aurea de aeris dispositione diiudicanda singulis diebus, one of several works which were published after his death, appeared in manuscript in 1546 and has never been printed. It contained:-
... guidelines that explain the principles and observations of the changes in the atmosphere.Many consider Werner as a pioneer of modern meteorology and weather forecasting.

One day, when humans are extinct and an advanced alien race looks back on the records of our civilization, they will marvel at how we allowed just about any idiot off the street to operate what are essentially 3,500 pound (or more) land missiles that can exceed 100 mph.
Of course, some of us can do that a lot better than others. And thanks to the miracles of YouTube and digital video, we can catch some of the worst drivers in the act so the rest of us can hopefully learn from their poor examples.
That's our question today: Who is the most obnoxious driver ever caught on video?
I love the video of this Hummer driver. It's old, but it's still incredible. Nothing quite says "AMERICA FUCK YEAH" like this awful, bloated, gas guzzling symbol of excess driving on the sidewalk and wantonly taking out road signs.
Your turn. Show us the worst drivers the Internet has to offer. They shouldn't all come from Russia, either.

Suspected journalist imposter enters not guilty pleas
Police: Medrow contacted female prep athletes
PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. — A man suspected of impersonating a reporter and calling female high school athletes, including members of the Verona High School golf team, appeared in court for a plea hearing Tuesday.
Gary Medrow, 68, of Greenfield, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two counts of unlawful use of a phone and two counts of disorderly conduct.
A new hearing was scheduled for Jan. 17.
Medrow was detained Nov. 17 after an arrest warrant was issued in Ozaukee County, according to Cedarburg police.
Medrow is believed to have contacted athletes in Mequon, Cedarburg, Hartland, Franklin and Verona saying he was a reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
A Cedarburg police officer worked with other agencies dealing with similar cases. He said in all cases the imposter reporter asked the girls to pose on each other's shoulders.
Verona police said five members of the golf team were contacted by the imposter reporter, but meetings with the athletes were never scheduled.
Medrow has been convicted in multiple cases for unlawful use of a phone and impersonating a police officer, according to court records. Those include a 1997 case in Dane County in which he was charged with impersonating a police officer and unlawful use of a telephone.
Biliskov said Medrow has been impersonating people, like police officers, since the late 70s.

People were decrying the influence of video games on popular culture way before Mortal Kombat came onto the scene. Arcades were time-(and money-)wasters. Tetris rotted your brain. Portable gaming systems destroyed kids' patience (or tried that of their parents, really). If you're a gamer who grew up in the '80s, you know what I'm talking about.
These were just the typical portents of the doom of civilization through technology that proved to be almost entirely without base, and most people knew it. How dangerous could dumping block after block on top of one another really be? Were Mario Mario and his brother, Luigi Mario, really that much worse than the A-Team? Hadn't people heard the same kind of arguments about film, television, and rock n' roll? Despite a couple busts, video games got more and more popular every year with little-to-no outside intervention regarding their content.
… that is, until 1992, when a gamer could finally rip the still-beating heart out of an opponent's chest. At that point, everything changed.

SAN DIEGO and JERUSALEM, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambit Biosciences and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (NASDAQ: TEVA) ("Teva") today announced the clearance of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for CEP-32496, a novel BRAF (V600E) kinase inhibitor.
The IND filing was based upon promising therapeutic potential for this agent, as evidenced by data revealed in recent publications in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Cancer Therapeutics characterizing the preclinical properties of CEP-32496. The two publications feature results that demonstrate CEP-32496 is a selective and potent inhibitor of BRAF (V600E) in cells. The published preclinical findings also demonstrate that CEP-32496 possesses potent and sustained anti-tumor activity in xenograft models of melanoma and colon carcinoma. CEP-32496 possesses attractive pharmacokinetic properties upon oral administration and benchmarks favorably with respect to other kinase inhibitors that have activity at the BRAF (V600E) mutated kinase.
"The data that we have generated to date in these preclinical studies lead us to believe that we have a promising drug candidate with CEP-32496 and is further validation of our successful drug discovery collaboration with Ambit," said Bruce Ruggeri, Ph.D., Senior Director, Oncology and Inflammation Discovery Research of Teva. "We look forward to exploring the full potential of this drug candidate to improve outcomes in patients with tumors possessing the BRAF(V600E) mutation."
Added Michael A. Martino, Ambit's President and Chief Executive Officer, "The filing of this IND represents a significant milestone for the Teva-Ambit collaboration and for the CEP-32496 program, and we look forward to advancement of the molecule into the clinic. The demonstrated selectivity and anti-tumor activity of this kinase inhibitor give it real promise in tumors that express the mutated BRAF gene and is further validation of Ambit's distinct competencies in kinase inhibitor drug discovery and optimization.
The manuscript published in Journal of Medical Chemistry describes the process that was employed to identify CEP-32496 as a clinical candidate. The publication includes data from preclinical models that highlight the selectivity and pharmacokinetic profile of the drug candidate.
The manuscript published in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics describes the pharmacokinetic profile and anti-tumor activity of CEP-32496 in preclinical models. In these studies, CEP-32496 demonstrated tumor stasis and regressions with favorable activity compared to other kinase inhibitors, including sorafenib and RAF-265, at doses that were well tolerated.
About CEP-32496
CEP-32496 is a small molecule kinase inhibitor of V600E mutated BRAF that is being developed as part of a collaborative agreement with Teva, initiated in 2006. This mutation in the BRAF gene has been identified in forms of melanoma, thyroid, colon, ovarian, and lung cancers. In addition to targeting mutations in BRAF, CEP-32496 targets other select kinases of interest in oncology with potentially desirable clinical application. Animal models in multiple cancer types suggest CEP-32496 may possess best-in-class potential. The CEP-32496 program is testament to the successes that can be achieved when two companies leverage their respective strengths in collaboration.
About BRAF Kinase in Cancer
Mutations in the BRAF gene have been identified in approximately seven percent of all cancers, including 60 percent to 70 percent of melanoma cases, four to 16 percent of colorectal cancer cases, 29 to 83 percent of papillary thyroid carcinomas and to a lesser extent in serous ovarian cancer and non-small lung cancer. The BRAF gene is a key component of a pathway involved in normal cell growth and survival. Mutations such as BRAF (V600E) are believed to be drivers of disease and can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and disease progression, and therefore represent a promising target for pharmacological intervention.
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer and is growing at a rate of approximately five to six percent annually. More than 75,000 people in the U.S. plus an additional 85,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with melanoma each year. Patients with melanoma have limited treatment alternatives and experience some of the poorest outcomes, with 5-year survival rates of less than 20 percent for people with advanced (Stage IV) melanoma, according to the American Cancer Society.
About the Ambit-Teva Collaboration
In November 2006, Ambit and Cephalon Inc (acquired by Teva) entered into an exclusive collaboration agreement with multiple parts: (i) a drug discovery and development collaboration aimed at identifying and developing a clinical candidate for the BRAF(V600E) mutated kinase, and a separate effort for identifying and developing a clinical candidate for a second undisclosed kinase, and (ii) kinase screening services for Cephalon's small molecule library of kinase inhibitors. Cephalon paid Ambit an upfront fee of $15.5 million as partial consideration for access to Ambit's kinase profiling technology and licenses contributed by Ambit to the drug discovery part of the collaboration. Ambit may be entitled to receive greater than $45 million in development and commercial milestone payments if CEP-32496 is successful, and may receive further milestones if a compound is successfully developed and commercialized against the second target in the collaboration. In addition, Ambit may receive tiered royalty payments on net sales of the collaboration compounds.
About Ambit Biosciences
Ambit Biosciences is a privately held biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of a robust pipeline of small molecule kinase inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory disease and other indications. Ambit's lead compound, quizartinib (AC220), is a novel, potent, highly selective, orally bioavailable FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) inhibitor, and is currently under clinical investigation in patients with relapsed or refractory AML and treatment-naive AML. Ambit is developing quizartinib in collaboration with Astellas Pharma Inc. as part of a worldwide agreement to jointly develop and commercialize FLT3 kinase inhibitors in oncology and non-oncology indications. In addition to quizartinib, Ambit's clinical pipeline includes AC430, an oral JAK2 inhibitor, and CEP-32496, a BRAF inhibitor licensed to Teva. Ambit's preclinical portfolio includes a proprietary CSF1R inhibitor program. For more information, visit www.ambitbio.com.

I've gained a few pounds recently. In most periods of my life, this would not affect me too much — we're talking a small number, very much the kind of tiny fluctuation that happens as you, I don't know, sweat less when the weather turns cooler — but right now it is cause for a mini-celebration with me and my doctor, because for the last year and a half I've been dealing with medical issues that caused drastic weight loss. The fact that my number has crept up on the scale, if ever so slightly, seems to indicate that my insides are working more normally than they were, and I'm happy about it. I must say, it's also pleasantly subversive in a world-turned-upside-down kind of way to have my doctor get excited that my numbers have gone up. It's a tiny antidote to the horrible stories we hear about doctors pushing weight loss at all costs.
I also moved apartments recently and am still getting used to the new (shared) washer and dryer. It costs less than my old place (yay!) but the settings are different and you can't fine-tune the amount of time you run the dryer (boo!).
What do these two random pieces of Sweet Machine-related trivia have to do with anything? Well, I'll tell you: my jeans are too tight. Not an earth-shattering event or even a surprise: slight weight gain + finicky dryer + stretch jeans = wiggling like Brooke Shields until these jeans go over my thighs. Most of us have had that experience at some point or another, and unless we deliberately bought them too tight a la Brooke Shields, shimmying into tight jeans can cause a major self-esteem derail. There's nothing quite like too-tight clothes to bring back a flood of memories of other times you've felt too fat, or unpretty, or excluded, or unworthy.
I can feel some of those feelings floating back to me. We never fully break free from that kind of cultural programming and personal greatest-hits-of-shame, no matter how fully self-loving and fat-accepting we are. I mean, here I am, knowing that a) my dryer is set too high, b) weight gain is a positive sign in my life right now, and c) I'm still actually thin,* and I still am tempted to berate myself for the size of my thighs. But the great thing is, because of FA, that's what that shaming voice is now: a temptation, not a mandate. I feel those thoughts trying out my brain, poking at me as I look in the mirror, and I think about whether I want to engage them. Is there any payoff to that temptation? The answer, of course, is no. I know that clearly now, but there was a time in my life — and it wasn't that long ago — that I didn't. I thought the answer was "maybe," that if I gave into the temptation to shame myself, I might magically get thinner through the transitive power of bullshit.** What a knowledge of FA and a commitment to live it in my daily life give me is the certainty that saying "no" to the temptation of self-deprecation — rather than, say, the temptation of salad dressing or those fattening carrots — will be better for me today and tomorrow. Refusing to shame yourself will stop the negativity in the short term and make you stronger in the long term, so that next time your jeans are too tight or your shirt gaps in an odd way, you can say no to shame again.
There's a whole world that wants you to disappear into nothing, and feeling too big for your clothes is a reminder of that impossibility. But once you are aware that, you can use that very awareness to defuse some of those shaming voices: Fuck it, I don't want to disappear. And you can't make me want to.
So as I sit here wiggling around so that my jeans stretch already, I know that the problem here is not me. The problem is not even my jeans, which after all fit perfectly well last month and might one day again. The problem is the cultural forces that work to convince us that the temptation of self-loathing is the only one we can say yes to, the only thing worth indulging in. There are big ways to combat that pressure, which we try to contribute to with discussion and analysis here — but there are lots of small ways, too, and one of them is getting rid of clothes that don't fit, or, if you're like me and you're having some shape fluctuations, getting clothes in a range of sizes and styles so if your jeans are tight today you can put on something else instead.
You may have heard that Oscar Wilde quote "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." Here's the thing about those witty Wilde quotes: they're mostly not little bon mots that Oscar Wilde said at a party. They're little bon mots said at parties by characters in books by Oscar Wilde. The guy who said that delightfully sinful thing about permission? (Spoiler!) Is an amoral man who essentially gives Dorian Gray permission to go on a spree of temptation-yielding that ends in murder. Don't worry; I'm not going to write a dissertation on morality in Wilde. (Not here, at least!) I'm just saying that there are different kinds of temptation and different ways to respond to it. A lot of energy goes into convincing you that eating a cookie is a wicked temptation that will ruin your life. It's not. But that temptation to give in to the cultural mandate of self-loathing and shame? That is, without doubt, one of the bad ones. You can turn that one down every damn time.
*NB: I originally typed, "I'm still actually thing." Just thought you should know.
**Thanks, Stephen Colbert!

Rise above the challenges to experience all the benefits mobile analytics delivers.
With technology challenges out of the way, you can focus on using your mobile analytics data to improve digital marketing results.
Better cross-channel & cross-device experiences.
Mobile and web analytics intersect to provide a more meaningful profile of your customers, which allows you to create and deliver seamless experiences across channels and devices.
Reduce churn and improve retention.
Mobile analytics can reveal fallout rates, anomalies, conversions, and more to help lower app abandonment, nurture re-engagement, and lift retention.
Sharper targeting and personalization.
With insights about mobile web, mobile app, and device usage, you can improve messaging, content, experiences, and more to every device your customers use to interact with your brand.
Discover app monetization opportunities.
By analyzing mobile app acquisition and retention, you can find opportunities to monetize apps through in-app purchases, paid subscriptions, and more, driving higher revenues and greater ROI from your mobile initiatives.
Mobile first isn't just a strategy. It's a way of life.
See how our customers put the insights they gain from Adobe Analytics into real-world action.

Mobile Analytics FAQ.
Do I have to settle for a web analytics solution and a separate mobile analytics tool?
Not necessarily. Adobe Analytics, for example, integrates mobile and web data into a single interface, so you can view customer behaviors no matter which devices they are using.
Can I track user acquisition with mobile analytics?
Yes. Using Adobe Analytics, you can create and measure acquisition metrics such as revenue, launches, and users. At a deeper level, you can report on acquisition and re-engagement campaigns using attribution and deep linking capabilities.
Can I automatically optimize mobile experiences based on mobile data?
Yes. Adobe Analytics has deep integrations with Adobe Experience Cloud solutions that enable you to respond to mobile data — along with web and offline data — by automating optimization of mobile web and app experiences.
Why is cohort analysis important to improving retention rates?
Cohort analysis can show how users as a group interact with your mobile apps. By measuring cohorts by acquisition date or behavior, for example, you can start to understand why they leave and take action to increase retention.
How do I use mobile analytics to reduce app churn?
Analytics can reveal critical issues with app functionality, especially following updates, that lead to high churn rates. By using real-time mobile analytics, you can quickly spot a problem and repair the issue.
We don't have an army of developers, so how do I quickly get the views I want without coding?
Adobe Analytics provides quick and easy report-building capabilities using drag and drop simplicity. This allows you to combine metrics to give you the view you need without creating miles of code.

When I wrote my blog post a few weeks back celebrating 15 years in business, I had no idea that in a few short weeks I would be making sweeping changes. I knew I was restless in my current work, and also tired of being on the road all the time. But I did not realize how ready I was for a major change.
Hoo-boy, was I ready for change though. Rapid, sweeping change. Folks who follow me on Twitter know that in the last couple of weeks, I've: delivered my PragProg book Explore It!, to production; started a new job at Pivotal Labs; and closed down both Agilistry Studio and my consulting practice, Quality Tree Software, Inc.
I've posted farewell letters on both the Quality Tree and Agilistry Studio websites. You can read those for details about those closings. Eventually, however, I'll be taking those websites down. This site will be my primary web presence.
I want to take a moment here to talk about what's next for me.
My new job means that I won't be training or consulting any more, nor do I intend to participate in many conferences for a while. There's just so much for me to do and learn with my new job that I don't have the mental bandwidth for anything else for the foreseeable future.
That said, I do intend to keep pushing the boundaries of software testing and overall development practices. I believe that the traditional software QA model is fundamentally and irretrievably broken. It's time for new models. I want to figure out how to articulate those new models simply, and I hope that my work at Pivotal Labs will help me do that.
In the coming months, I might be writing here more. Or not. I'm not sure yet. We'll just have to see how things go.
So that's what I'm up to. What changes are on the horizon for you?

I've mentioned Solar Renewable Energy Credits in previous posts and comments. It's a great way to shorten the payback period for solar producers and encourage more solar production. Also encourages power companies to purchase more renewable energy from the little guy.
But it requires each state to pass legislation to authorize an SREC market in the state. Several states around us have SREC markets. New York had a bill that did not get voted on this session. Looks like it will be another year before it comes up for consideration again.
Maybe next year.

For those of you who know me well, you know I love cereal and am a creature of habit. I eat Honey Nut Cheerios mixed with Smart Bran and Cinnamon every single morning for breakfast. I stock up on extra boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios so I never run out. If there is ever a morning when I do happen to run out I am typically not a happy camper...unless there is a tasty replacement around such as these muffins. These are the perfect Fall or Winter muffin. I made these last winter and have been patiently waiting to share them with you. Fresh cranberries are going to start popping up at the grocery stores and I wanted you to be armed with this tasty muffin recipe. Of course frozen cranberries are also an option. These muffins are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Definitely perfect for the season.
In other news, don't forget to enter my Giveaway and for those of you who are counting this is my 200th post!
Orange Cranberry Muffins
recipe from Baked Perfection
makes 12 muffins
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
zest of two oranges
1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups cranberries, dusted in flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
In a medium bowl mix together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and orange zest. In a large bowl beat together eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix in oil, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix dry ingredients into wet mixture (be sure not to over-mix, batter will be lumpy). Gently fold in cranberries. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups so they are 2/3 of the way full.
To make the topping: mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Crumble with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
