This is a GREAT read! Many research papers sited. I highly suggest you read the entire article but here’s the key excerpt: What that means in practice is little or no red meat; mostly vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and soy products in their natural forms; very few simple and refined carbohydrates such as sugar […]
While I managed to get onto the Yahoo! website just under the wire and created this before the first games were played, I’ve been working on a project and so am only now posting my bracket. Of course, Baylor lost yesterday in one of the first upsets, so it’s already “blown up”. As I stated
As you probably have seen, tomorrow, March 14, 2015, when written using the standard US (short) notation 3/14/15, spells out the first 5 digits of Pi. As it turns out, you can go even further down the Pi “number” hole. Here are a couple of good references: Vox has a good (layperson) explanation of Pi Dayhttp://www.vox.com/2015/3/13/8205807/pi-day

I don’t fantasize about cool/fast cars, etc. but I did find this announcement by McLaren interesting. The McLaren 675LT Takes Off at Geneva Motor Show, Fast and Street-Legal
I’ve just started to scratch the surface of all the cool things iOS 8 can do, so much to learn! One of my apps presents a modal view controller that asks the user to select a date from a custom calendar view I built. The app displays photos and this modal vc is presented over an
I’m not sure what the best practice is these days when displaying HTML content in your app. It seems you can either put it into a UIWebView or you can, as of iOS 7, convert it to an NSAttributedString and put it into a UILabel, UITextField, etc. I have been leaning toward the latter recently and
I still find working with dates in iOS a little tricky. There is always a new format to deal with and it’s all about getting the identifiers for the format just right! I recently ran into ISO8601 and hope the bit of code below is of some use. NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@”yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ssZZZZZ”];
