I have not been following the NHL very closely this year, Toronto’s season was just too brutal to watch after they fired Randy Carlyle. I have never been a big Randy fan but you can’t argue with the Leaf’s record with and then without him as coach. Given the above, here’s my WAG at who will win […]
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

I’m an F1 fan and can’t wait for the 2015 season to start at Melbourne in a couple of weeks. However, I don’t consider myself a “car guy”. 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
