The iPAD launch BEFORE it happened: SPECULATIVE GUFF ahead of actual event
Nothing since 14:56 and it's now 16:10!
Or has the internet literally imploded with all the tension?
Vanmoof Electrified Bike: Crouching cyclist, hidden power
e-bikes keep you fit!
I bought a conversion kit this spring from ciclotekstore.eu to convert my mountain bike into an e-bike and at the end of the summer I actually feel fitter!
The landscape around here is fairly undulating and quite tiring to ride on a normal bike. Now with power-assist I ride a lot more and have found that my pedalling cadence has increased so that I'm always making an effort rather than letting the motor do all the work.

Meaningless statistics
"the open source database can now process 645,000 SQL queries per second and more than 1 million NoSQL queries per second. It can also handle 67,000 connections per second"
Those numbers are meaningless unless you say what hardware is being used, and even then they are still meaningless as numerous other factors such as table sizes and query complexity have to be taken into account.
WHY did Sunday Mirror stoop to slurping selfies for smut sting?
Re: Mirror
Sorry, whilst the method may be dubious, I have no sympathy for the MP. I don't see this as a 'first offence' type situation, just a first time being caught bang to rights.
By the way, for clarity it was a freelance 'journalist' who did all this and then subsequently sold the story to the Mirror.
Hackers thrash Bash Shellshock bug: World races to cover hole
Re: FUD whack-a-mole
For people that are claiming that this isn't a big deal, have a read of the link below where someone has actually run a test across a large number of web servers. He's found 3000 vulnerable systems already. Now all he did was get these machines to ping back to his test server, but he could easily have done something much worse.

The internet just BROKE under its own weight – we explain how
A short IPv6 story
A little while ago, we leased a new dedicated server for our business. In the spirit of keeping up with technology and looking to the future, I got one that had ipv6 connectivity.
Shortly after migrating to this new server I was made aware that an application that uses Google Cloud Messaging was no longer working properly, Google was reporting that the server was unauthorised to send out messages. I checked everything and couldn't see the problem, the code was exactly the same as running on the older server and the new ipv4 address had been entered correctly into the Google control panel.
Only after days of digging did the cause of the problem come to light. The cURL library used to send out messages was automatically defaulting to ipv6 rather than ipv4 and so Google was rejecting the messages since the ipv6 address wasn't authorised. Fine - I'd just enter that into the Google control panel then... but wait, what's this? Google's control panel only accepts ipv4 addresses...
Long story short - I disabled ipv6 on the new server as the simplest solution with the added benefit that no more stuff would break for no apparent reason.

IPv4 addresses now EXHAUSTED in Latin America and the Caribbean
Re: IPv6 is flawed
Agreed - and there's no incentive for ipv6 takeup at the consumer level because NAT is so good at its job.
It's not like ipv6 is the equivalent of colour telly over b&w, to the average consumer ipv6 offers no benefits just potential headaches.

Watch this: IPv4 must die! So let's beef up on IPv6
It's IPv6 that should die
It was ill-conceived right from the start - by not being an expansion of IPv4 but a replacement. It doesn't matter that my computers are capable of IPv6 if my ISP-supplied router isn't
It's worth reading The IPv6 Mess by DJ Bernstein - http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html - that paper was written over 10 years ago now, but all the criticisms of IPv6 are as valid today as they were then. But nothing has been done and thus we have the mess we're in now - where IPv6 is the bastard child that the masses don't care about.
EU: Let's cost financial traders $400m a day, because EVIL BANKERS. Right?
Re: Here is an idea
"Free markets have made you, and billions of people all over the world considerably richer."
Bollocks - this is a fallacy frequently peddled to try to preserve the status quo. Although as you rightly point out, there are very few truly 'free' markets in the world economy.
The wealth gap between rich and poor is now bigger than it's ever been and "The 85 Richest People In The World Have As Much Wealth As The 3.5 Billion Poorest" (source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2014/01/23/the-85-richest-people-in-the-world-have-as-much-wealth-as-the-3-5-billion-poorest/ )
Real wealth is created through effort and invention (and the wholesale exploitation of the world's limited natural resources, but that's another discussion), not by mindless and parasitic behaviour in the financial markets. That is all geared to trying to get rich by taking wealth away from other people and institutions.
Cheat Win XP DEATH: Little-known tool to save you from the XPocalypse
Much easier way
If you keep your old, legitimate copy of XP on a separate hard drive when you install Windows 7 you can either then just set up your machine to dual boot so you can run XP when you need it OR using Virtualbox you can create a VM that attaches to the old physical XP disk (as a raw disk) and boots from there. No need to re-install XP, fiddle with any licence or reinstall any apps, your XP machine lives again :)
The only wrinkle if you use the 2nd method is that you must make sure that the XP disk is 'offline' as far as Windows 7 is concerned but is available read/write to the VM while using the VM. You do this using the DISKPART utility from the command line in Windows 7
SELECT DISK 1 (where this number is the window 7's logical disk number for the XP drive)
Do that BEFORE starting the XP virtual machine. You also may need to change the graphic driver for XP running under the VM since it no longer has direct access to the graphics card (depends on your original setup).
Anatomy of OpenSSL's Heartbleed: Just four bytes trigger horror bug
Re: Thank
At least with open source, once the bug has been discovered:

2) a patch can be made in timely fashion (my servers running Debian Wheezy already have a patch).
Meanwhile for Microshaft and Adobe bugs we have to rely on their tardy release notes and patches for information and fixes or alternatively reverse engineer stuff (breaking their EULAs in the process).

Bitcoin bank Flexcoin pulls plug after cyber-robbers nick $610,000
Re: I believe that a well-implemented cybercurrency would be a good thing...
The weak point of Bitcoin is how people convert into/out of proper currencies. So a 'run' in this context is lots of people wanting to sell Bitcoin while few people are prepared to stump up dollars for them. If the exchanges run out of liquidity, the whole thing grinds to a halt.
Re: And yet...
The people who are really laughing all the way to the (real) bank are the US authorities that sold all their bitcoins with the market near its peak.
Just because some gullible people see a dip in the price as a chance to jump into the market having maybe missed out on the first bubble means nada. - other than providing more opportunities for the sharks. Come back here in six months and see what the price is then.

Bitcoin price SOARS after US SENATE hearing on 'legit' currency
Re: Never going to work
Except that that's not how "proper" currencies (something that can be used as an everyday means of exchange) work. Internal market prices/wages should NOT change in response to the external exchange rate (or at least only slowly, over time).
If you're saying that 1000 dollar exchanged into Bitcoin can always buy me 1000 dollars worth of goods, (ignoring the supposed anonimity advantages) I may as well just use the dollars in the first place and avoid the exchange costs.
Bitcoin is just a speculation investment and at the moment has all the appearance of a south-sea bubble one at that.
Never going to work
It's an interesting technical exercise but Bitcoin itself is never going to work for the masses.
The supply of new coins decreases with time, which is exactly the opposite of what you want for a stable and useful currency if you want to grow the user base, since (bubbles and crashes aside) it becomes more and more expensive for new people to start using it. But it's made the early adopters rich.
I have approximately 0.05 of a Bitcoin myself (acquired via an experiment with mining, before the kit needed became prohibitively expensive) worth at today's exchange rate around £25.

Re: There's science and then there's wild guesswork
Actually I do know quite a bit about the subject since it's a related area to my own area of expertise.
These conclusions (indeed one could argue almost the whole of distant object astronomical science) are based on theories which cannot be proven without spacecraft being able to travel vast distances. Given that the furthest any of our craft have got so far is only just beyond our own solar system (Voyager), one erroneous assumption brings the whole theoretical house-of-cards tumbling down.
For instance a lot of what is surmised about objects in space is based on the principle of Doppler blueshift where the frequency of observed light changes as a result of the movement of a source toward the observer. We know that this is how light behaves over short distances since we can prove it under laboratory conditions. However how can we be sure that once those distances are scaled up to light-years there isn't some other factor that comes into play? Or other unknown and undetected phenomena out there in space have an effect? There is just no way we can test for it with our current level of technology. And if that theory no longer holds true then much of what is surmised about distant space is wrong. I'm not saying that particular theory is wrong, but that's just one example.
There's science and then there's wild guesswork
I love how these astrophysicists can give us the size, mass, composition and relative position of a very distant object based on a tiny, tiny scrap of electromagnetic data.
If they are baffled as to how such a planet could be where it is, the obvious answer is that their conclusions about the data are wrong.

PC version is on its way
Some clever bods have already identified config files intended for the PC released with the console versions, so there can be little doubt that the PC version is coming, it's just a question of when (my money is on late Nov/ early Dec in time for Chrismas sales).
<cynic mode>
I suspect the console versions are released first these days as people with both a PC and a console would probably get the PC version as it will have better graphics. By holding back that release, they probably push up console sales and may even get some double sales to people who have both.

I'm thinking they might split Psion into two classes: Kineticist (controller) and Telepath (Leader). I imagine the Telepath would then be somewhat similar to the Warlord, but without swinging a weapon in the frontline, and the Kineticist would have many pushes/pulls/slides alongside damage.
Of course, that's pure speculation/wishful thinking.

So today's Warlord excerpt also mentions the shaman as a class that fills the cleric's role, so that info has been added to the first post.
I think it's pretty safe to assume he'll be a Primal Leader.

Defender: Paladin, Fighter
Leader: Warlord, Cleric, Shaman, Bard
Striker: Rogue, Warlock, Ranger
Controller: Wizard
So, where does this put the druid, barbarian, sorcerer, swordmage, and monk for roles?
Also, what other classes might be in PHBII? Necromancer, Illusionist, Psion, Psychic Warrior, Samurai, Ninja, Wilder, Soulknife, Duskblade, Knight, Beguiler, Warmage, Shugenja, Wu Jen, Favored Soul, Hexblade, Swashbuckler, Scout, Spellthief?

The Swordmage is definitely a Defender. One of the designers said that it was the result of looking at the power sources and roles and wondering what an arcane defender might look like.
The sorcerer is very likely to be a controller or striker. As for Barbarian: Striker or Defender seem like the only valid choices. Very likely Defender. Monk...who knows.

If the swordmage is a defender and the barbarian a defender that would cover 4 power sources: martial, divine, arcane, and primal. It will be interesting to see what a shadow and psionic defender look like.
Maybe the PHBII ends up with 8 more classes to cover 4 classes in each role for each of the first 4 power sources.

Shadow: Hexblade. I'd expect the "Marking" technique to be expanded. For instance, the paladin's "Divine Challenge" marks the target, and if the target attacks anyone but the paladin, they take radiant damage. The Hexblade could hex others in a similar fashion.Originally Posted by jeffhartsell
Psionic: Psychic Warrior. Which I'm curious how it would differ from a psionic version of the Swordmage.

With just hours to go before the 46th
running of the Jersey shore classic,
contestants are making their final preparations for the $1,000,000 William Hill
Haskell Invitational. The following highlights what the nation's top
3-year-olds are doing to get ready for Sunday's Grade 1 mile and an eighth event.
Kentucky Derby runner-up Golden Soul went out for a routine 1 ¼ gallop Friday morning at
Saratoga on a track rated as fast and trainer Dallas Stewart said that he would
do the same on Saturday prior to shipping to Monmouth Park in the afternoon.
Trainer Todd Pletcher texted "all good" after Long Branch stakes winner Micromanage and multiple stakes winner Verrazano put in routine gallops Friday morning at Saratoga. The colts, who run for separate
ownership interests, will leave Saratoga
early Sunday morning and are scheduled to arrive at Pletcher's Monmouth barn by
Preakness Stakes winner Oxbow was being vanned to Monmouth on Friday and trainer D. Wayne
Lukas said the colt was expected to arrive on the grounds and be settled into
his stall by feeding time this afternoon.
Trainer Dale Romans, who remained undecided
whether graded stakes placed Pick of the
Litter would be sent to Monmouth Park on Saturday afternoon or Sunday
morning, sent his charge out for a 1 ½ miles gallop at Saratoga Friday morning.
Easy Goer stakes winner Power Broker arrived from Southern California late on Thursday
afternoon and Jimmy Barnes, assistant trainer to Bob Baffert, said that the
colt traveled so well that he went to the track for a 1 ¼ miles gallop Friday
morning and would school in the paddock before the second race later in the
galloped 1 1/8 miles at Saratoga
and trainer Rudy Rodriguez said the Jerome and Gotham Stakes winner remained on
schedule to contest the Haskell and would arrive on the grounds on Sunday

What is involved in metanoia is what might be called a spiritual paradigm shift, a spiritual revolution. We encounter the Lord Jesus, and He personally invites us to change as persons: metanoei! He calls us each and everyone by name. "I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine." (Is. 43:1) Live that way!
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
2/20/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Living Faith
Keywords: metanois, repentance, Benedict XVI, Paul VI, John Paul II, Andrew M. Greenwell, Tres Linguae Sacrae
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - The first word which we shall focus on in our series Tres Linguae Sacrae (Three Sacred Languages) is Greek in origin. The Greek word is metanoia, a noun. In the New Testament, however, it is almost always found in verb form; in its most basic form it is found in an imperative, active sense, i.e., as a command, a warning, a tocsin, or a hue and cry.
The word is found, for example, on the lips of Jesus as He proclaims the coming of the Kingdom and begins his public ministry. It is the first, essential step to believing in the Gospel.
"Repent (metanoeite) and believe (pisteuete) in the Gospel." (Mark 1:15; cf. Matt. 4:17)
In his 1966 Apostolic Constitution Paenitemini, Pope Paul VI observed: "These words constitute, in a way, a compendium of the whole Christian life." They are the sum and substance of being Christian. This is the Gospel in a nutshell.
The same message is found on the lips of St. Peter, who, in one of the first sermons of the Church after the gift of the Holy Spirit, proclaims the same message as His Lord:
"Repent (metanoesate), therefore, and be converted (epistrepsate), that your sins may be wiped away." (Acts 3:19)
If repenting and believing in the Gospel is the "compendium of the whole Christian life" as Pope Paul VI put it, then it follows that the concept of metanoia is fundamental to the Christian believer. Recognizing the importance of this concept is why, in his book Credo for Today: What Christians Believe, Pope Benedict XVI called metanoia the "fundamental datum of Christian existence."
Metanoia is the sine qua non of the Christian life. You cannot be a Christian without it.
What, then, does the word mean? The verb metanoeo is a compound word formed by the joinder of the prefix meta, a preposition meaning "with" or "after," or even "beyond," and noieo, "I think." The verb metanoeo therefore means "I change my mind." Literally, then, metanoia is the state of thinking differently, a state where I have changed my mind, one occurring after some sort of encounter with reality.
It is apparent from the Scriptures, however, that the change involves more than the adoption of an attitude, a philosophy, or a manner of life because it involves an encounter with God in the Person of Jesus Christ. "We are Christian only if we encounter Christ," Pope Benedict XVI said in one of his audiences. "Only in this personal relationship with Christ, only in this encounter with the Risen One do we really become Christians." "The Gospel," John Paul II said succinctly in an address in Guatemala, "is somebody: it is Jesus Christ, the Lord."
Metanoia, at least in its Christian sense, is the change that occurs upon one's encounter with the person of Jesus and our affirmative response to his call. The change in us occurs because of our encounter with the Lord and his calling out to us radically to change and our saying, "yes."
Since it is clear from the context of the word's use in Scripture that more than mere "change of mind" is at issue, the English word most often used to translate the Greek is the verb repent, an intensive form of regret or sorrow for evil done accompanied with a resolution to change one's life and to do good.
However, the words "repent" or "be converted" or "do penance," while they might be the best we have in English, do not quite capture the fullness of meaning of the Greek word metanoia.
As Pope Benedict XVI observed in his book Credo for Today: What Christians Believe, the concept of metanoia as it is understood in Scripture is difficult to translate with one word.
"When one tries to translate the word metanoia, one immediately runs into difficulties: change of mind, reconsidering, remorse, repentance, turning back, conversion are available, but none of these words exhausts the contents of the original meaning, even though turning back and conversion indicate most clearly the radical character of what we are talking about: a process that affects one's whole life and affects life wholly, that is, definitively, in the totality of its temporal extent, and that means far more than just one single or even a repeated act of thinking, feeling, or willing."
In Paenitemini, Pope Paul VI defined the concept of metanoia as a "change of heart," which he explained was "that intimate and total change and renewal of the entire man--of all his opinions, judgments, and decisions--which takes place in him in the light of the sanctity and charity of God, the sanctity and charity which were manifested to us" in Jesus, and "communicated fully" to us by Jesus.
What is involved in metanoia is what might be called a spiritual paradigm shift, a spiritual revolution. We encounter the Lord Jesus, and He personally invites us to change as persons: metanoei! He calls us each and everyone by name. "I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine." (Is. 43:1) He tells us, "Live that way!"
As Pope Benedict XVI put it in his book Credo for Today: "[M]etanoia . . . is actually the fundamental Christian act, understood, of course, in terms of one very definite aspect: the aspect of change, the act of turning, of becoming new and different. In order to become a Christian, a human being must change, not merely in one place or another, but unconditionally, down to the very bottom of his being."
The person of Jesus is very clearly at the heart of metanoia. We encounter the Lord Jesus who calls us by name. We have two options: continue on our way, or metanoia. Tertium non datur. There is no third way. This is an either/or decision. Either metanoia, or not.
If we decide for metanoia, we opt for a radical, interruptive change of our entire being, our becoming changes so that, turning to the Lord, we change who we are to become, and we gain an entirely new perception of reality. The person who encounters and decides to follow Jesus resolves to give the Lord Jesus his all. There is nothing--nothing--we hold back. Metanoia means a resolve to turn to Jesus with all our heart, soul, mind and strength throughout our entire lives.
It is obvious, then, that metanoia is not a one-time change of heart, a one-time action, but a continual, constant, perpetual, habitual resolve to change one's heart to follow only one master, and one master alone: Jesus. That decision therefore includes a rejection of anything that opposes itself to this decision, whether it is something in ourselves or something outside of us.
"Since 'no one can serve two masters' (Mt. 6:24)," Blessed John Paul II stated in his Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in America, "the change in mentality (metanoia)," required by the Gospel, "means striving to assimilate the values of the Gospel, which contradict the dominant tendencies of the world."
For this reason, there is a continual and perpetual imperative attached to metanoia, and that imperative is "to renew constantly 'the encounter with the living Jesus Christ,'" as it is Jesus who leads us always to metanoia, to "continuing conversion." Ecclesia in America, No. 28. St. Paul calls it a race, a battle.
John Paul II continues: "Conversion (metanoia), to which every person is called, leads to an acceptance and appropriation of the new vision which the Gospel proposes. This requires leaving behind our worldly way of thinking and acting, which so often heavily conditions our behavior. As Sacred Scripture reminds us, the old man must die and the new man must be born." Ecclesia in America, No. 32.
Metanoia therefore is all about "change" and all about "progress." But here Benedict XVI issues a warning, a spiritual caveat. These words mean something different to a Christian than they mean to a secularist, to a non-believer. Pope Benedict XVI asks: "How is the Christian willingness to change, that is, metanoia, related to the modern will to change?"
Harkening to the Dietrich von Hildebrand's Trojan Horse in the City of God, Benedict XVI rejects the "cult of movement [Kult der Bewegung]" that is part of modern society as an authentic form of metanoia.
The "inner unity of radical change and radical fidelity that metanoia implies" in Christians may, in large part, require us reject modern progress, because the Christian sees it for what it is: a sham progress. The Christian metanoia hears but one voice--the voice of his or her Beloved--and that is not the voice of "everybody," of prevailing standards, of the majority, of a particular political party, of academia, of celebrities, of ever-shifting convention, or even our laws. No. The Christian metanoia does not result in us turning into reeds shaken by the wind. (Cf. Matt. 11:7)
"The willingness to change for the sake of following Christ has nothing to do with the lack of direction evident in the reed that is swayed by every wind; it has nothing to do with an existential indecisiveness, a facile susceptibility to influence that allows itself to be pushed around in any direction," Pope Benedict XVI explains.
The Christian metanoia, while it demands a total change, makes us also firm in faith. In fact, Benedict XVI states that "Christian metanoia is objectively identical to pistis (faith, fidelity), a change that does not exclude fidelity but rather, makes it possible." The Christian change--metanoia--has a backbone of steel. It has all the resolve of a faithful spouse.
The fidelity to the Lord that is part of metanoia gives the Christian the "courage to make the break," a break from all false convention, all peer pressure, all false standards and ideals, so as to gain true freedom, a freedom the world does not, cannot offer. Pope Benedict XVI concludes: "This courage to make the break is called, in biblical language, metanoia."
While metanoia bespeaks of great willingness to change, it also has a hard center core. "It is at the same time a process of becoming firm in Christ," Pope Benedict XVI says quoting von Hildebrand, "'a hardening in relation to all tendencies toward being change from below--a flexibility in relation to all formative influences 'from above.'"
Metanoia "makes Christians," Pope Benedict XVI says, but if it is allowed to bear the fruit it is intended to bear, it also "creates saints" of those Christians. The product of metanoia when rigorously lived is succinctly expressed by St. Paul in his letter to the Galatians: "I no longer live I, but Christ lives in me." (Gal. 2:20)
"I no longer live I, but Christ lives in me." If we can honestly say that as to every part of our lives, then we have accomplished metanoia.

I've always pictured imps as being perverted nerdy hentai demons so the idea that a cartoon porn imp would immediately start texting any naked hentai slut he saw with "you porn?" just sort of makes sense, and it also follows that he'd probably be so "busy" that he'd mistype it "you por n". I imagine the hell of PronQuest being a hot and heavy hentai orgy of naughtiness. And all of the hentai linked verbage is another one of my random hentai ranking tests.

Age-related slowing in video game performance after age 24
Joe Thompson
Digital records of performance become more common as our natural behavior becomes increasingly computer mediated. Such data provide a new purview from which to view real-world performance. One such opportunity comes from competitive real time strategy video games. Detailed records of second by second performance can be automatically recorded and collected online, allowing for large samples of what is, for many of our participants, a part of their natural cognitive functioning. The present work considers age-related changes in the cognitive-motor speed, as measured by latencies between view-screen shifts and action, of 3305 StarCraft 2 players from the ages of 16-44. Linear regression of looking doing latency on age and skill revealed the existence of age-related change. We estimated when decline began using piecewise linear regression of age on looking doing latency, and concluded that aging probably begins around 24 years of age. These analyses revealed no evidence that such declines were ameliorated in more skilled players. However, in order to consider whether players could indirectly compensate for these declines by changing other aspects of their gameplay, we performed an exploratory analysis on other performance variables known to be related to StarCraft 2 skill, identifying a few aspects of the game interface that older players may be using to reduce cognitive load. Our results suggest that the appearance of skill preservation throughout adolescence and early adulthood may hide complex developmental processes where the quality of performance is maintained by the cognitive systems adaptations to age-related change.
Joe Thompson is a PhD student working in the Cognitive Science Lab at Simon Fraser University, where is part of a research team under Mark Blair, that uses large samples of video game telemetry data to study skill development, maintenance, and decline. His theoretical interests lie in the general complexity of the extended learning process, and so he is interested in any methodology that allows for a better characterization and understanding of this complexity.

Spring training is underway for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as pitchers and catchers reported to Bradenton, Fla., on Wednesday.
Missing from the group of pitchers is A.J. Burnett, who decided he'd rather be in Philadelphia like W.C. Fields than in Pittsburgh.
But, the big question in my mind about the Pirates' starting pitching in 2014 is simply this: which Francisco Liriano will we see take the mound at PNC Park this summer?
Liriano went 12-3 in 2007, his second season with the Minnesota Twins, to go along with a 2.16 earned-run average and 144 strikeouts. He went a decent 6-4 with a 3.91 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 2008, but just 5-13 with a 5.80 ERA with 122 strikeouts in 2009.
Next came a solid year in 2010 with the Twins when the left-hander put up a 14-10 record with a 3.62 ERA and 201 strikeouts. Then, in 2011 the numbers went south again with a 9-10 record, a 5.09 ERA and 112 strikeouts. Liriano pitched for both the Twins and Chicago White Sox in 2012, and he recorded a combined record of 6-12 with a 5.34 ERA and 167 strikeouts.
Related: Can Starling Marte avoid taking a step back?
The native of San Cristobal, Dominican Republic went 53-54 in seven years in the American League. His comeback in 2013 with the Bucs saw him put up a record of 16-8, 3.02 ERA, and 163 strikeouts as he came over to the National League. Can the 30-year-old excel in back-to-back seasons for the Pirates in 2014?
Should the fans – or the Bucs' braintrust – expect it this summer on the North Shore?

Wild Mushrooms Looking for a Field Guide
OK I've read the past posts on this board and realize the importance of being extremely careful when foraging for these. To that end I am interested in getting a good field guide. Can anyone out there recommend one?
Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora
The National Audubon Society Field to Northern American Mushrooms
100 Edible Mushrooms by Michael Kuo
The first is rather encyclopedic, which might be a bit more than what you want, but I really recommend studying up on mycology in general if your interested in wild mushrooms. And at any rate, it's a really glorious book.
The second is an actual field guide, to take with you while mushroom hunting. It has photographs for everything, detailed descriptions including spore print color, type of gills, bruising color and among other things it lists look alikes for everything (important, important). This is the one to keep in your pocket.
The third is more specific for your purpose, and will be good if you have a good foundation of mycological knowledge already. Don't rely completely on it.
This might seem redundnt to you so my apologies, but it really can be a dangerous venture. Hopefully you know an experienced hunter to go with and if not, check out your local (or even semi local) mycological society. They hold forays where you can go with and learn and pick and take home and eat. If there isn't one, perhaps a local university. Most likely if your area is good for mushroom pickin, there's bound to be some organization around that you can tag along with.
I like Peterson's field guide to mushrooms. http://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-Mus...
Peterson's guides are carried at outdoors stores and as well many bookstores.
I second the recommendation of David Arora's book but - and this is a really big but - please take a field course or find a knowledgeable mushroom-picker to show you the ropes before you eat any of your finds. When I first began picking I went out with a Polish friend who was very helpful, and more recently have been out with a woman who picks commercially. It's one thing to get a description of a mushroom (even with all the other tests, spore prints, etc.) and another thing altogether to go out with someone who can point out exactly what you're looking for and can show you any similar-looking species that might cause confusion. Or worse. I don't mean to scare you - mushroom picking is one of my great joys - but the consequences can be quite dire if you don't know what you're doing.
I believe in France pharmacists are trained to identify mushrooms. So after you pick you get a confirmation before you eat. At markets in the country people selling wild mushrooms will have a sticker on each package signed by a pharmacist.
re: Jambalaya
I'm glad to hear we won't be reading a news item (bottom of page 25, Strange-But-True section of your local paper) about your death by poisonous mushroom. I admit I am hooked on this little pastime but it really must be apprached with a sensible amount of caution. The punch line of my late mother-in-law's favourite joke was "He wouldn't eat the mushrooms."
re: pikawicca
If you make a spore print and identify it in a guide, you are safe. It only takes a few seconds, and the image can be recorded and stored in a camera.
re: jayt90
This advice is SO so unsafe. Only eat wild mushrooms that are POSITIVELY identified by an expert in the field. And an expert in the field will tell you that.
Paul Stamets's books are great. But they are not field guides.
re: Quine
well, i certainly disagree. If u can read and follow all clues about the tree it is under - or not - and get a spore print - it is POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED . What more info do u think an expert has?
My wife and I taught ourselves - usint 2 diff field guides and other info - we picked only what we were positive of - we got 100's of pounds ,
We were simply able to read - and follow directions - which most people can do alone.
re: dibob817
dibob817 - you have been lucky. A spore print + environment + visual ID is NOT positive. Yes, it's pretty close. But it's NOT POSITIVE. Read a good field guide and you'll also be given descriptions of how the spore looks under a microscope and various other chemical reactions (colour change, etc.). Of course, you can pick safely if you learn a few very easily identified wild mushroom varieties and you stick to those. This is what I do. I've picked some pretty straightforward morels, boletes, armillaria and oysters. But if I were to pick something else - something new to me - I'd want to make absolutely 100% sure it was safe before consuming. And for that, I'd consult with an expert.
That said, there are certain edible wild mushrooms that cause unpleasant reactions in some people and not others. I, personally, can't eat so much as a teaspoon of puffball without becoming horrendously ill. My husband can't eat another type - a type of very abundant tricholoma which I've stopped picking because I'm a little uncertain about it.
re: Nyleve
like I said - we picked what we were positive of.
re: dibob817
Fair enough. That's what I do. And yes, some species are safer than others in that there may not be anything even remotely similar in appearance that could be poisonous. It's just when you're starting out, it's pretty important to almost have a mentor to help you identify these mushrooms. A book may not be enough.
re: pikawicca
I absolutely agree with you, and even the experts can be wrong. I know of two examples, one personally, and one second-hand. I had a biology teacher in Germany who went foraging, and died. The other one I heard about from a reputable scientist was that a dozen mycologists had a dinner together, and a couple of them were reluctant to eat but this was based mostly on instinct. Turns out that the "safe" mushrooms shared some ground with poisonous ones and had picked up some of their spores. All who ate the mushrooms died.
re: mpalmer6c
I like "All the Rain Promises and More." It's Arora's field guide for the Western US
(see first post in thread).
Here's the Amazon.com link:
This is what my mushroom hounds in Northern California use. (There are only two totally safe ones here anyway -- chanterelles and harissium.) By the way, Jambalaya, after foraging you will have run your mushroom "finds" by a mycologist before eating them -- unless you don't like having a working liver.
re: maria lorraine
I don't know if this is fool proof or not... but the area around Mexico City is big time mushroom country (mushroom season in the rainy summers usually brings in about 2 dozen varieties of wild mushrooms to market)... and the conventional wisdom is to fry them up with a couple of whole garlic cloves... if they become a god awful grey don't eat! I know this will work with Chanterelles because that is a common fungus there... not sure about harissium (as I can't think of the name in Spanish).
re: Eat_Nopal
That rule may be true with one particular mushroom, but it's definitely not a method for determining edibility as a general rule. There are many of these very specific "old wives' tales" that try to give a simple way of weeding out the poisonous mushrooms from the good ones. None of these should be relied on. Each one may very well have worked with one particular type of mushroom in one particular environment (which is why they got started in the first place) but it's neither scientific nor reliable.
re: Nyleve
I cautioned it might not be foolproof... but it does work for a large variety of mushrooms (as I doubt there are few places in the world that have the varietal density of the Anahuac).
re: Eat_Nopal
Must be amazing to pick in such an area. Where I live, the seasons are very short - a couple of weeks in spring for morels, then maybe 2 months total for fall mushrooms. I can't wait for spring!
re: Nyleve
Well the season isn't that long unfortunately... Mexico gets the bulk of its rain in the summer... and you start seeing certain mushrooms pop up by late June... usually there are usually 3 or 4 or so edible mushrooms in season every 2 to 4 weeks or so.. its really nice to see all the varieties come & go.
Some of my relatives in the highlands of Jalisco are expert pickers (by experience, not education)... and even know how to identify the types of mushrooms most in demand with hippies =)
If you are looking for an expert, I would suggest hooking up with Chris Matherly from Georgia. He founded the Morel Mushroom Hunting Club, and while the group does focus spcifically on morels, Matherly knows his shrooms and can help you find oyster musroom, matsutakes, lion's mane, chantrelles, and dozens more. He also sells a DVD guide to identifying 125 edible North American mushrooms. But if you want first-hand experince, maybe you should sign up for one of his weekend mushroom-hunting trips. I don't know where you live but he has them planned in Fla, Ga,
OKlahoma, Kentucky, Kansas/Missouri, the Sierra Nevadas, and Oregon.
I'm not a member of the club by the way, but my son is, and he has been picking morels for 3 years now. Last year he gathered I would say at least 40 pounds in the spring-and sold about 20 pounds to some well-known restaurants in our area.
Here is a public page from his website; folks email him photos of their latest finds and he also answers questions about them. I think you will enjoy it!!!
Oh, he will also be featured on Jan 22 on that cable show "Cash and Treasures" at 9 p.m. So you can see for yourself what he's all about.

Here are 6 ways to give a boost to your self-esteem:
1. Recognize and embrace your positive qualities. Make a list of all your assets including skills, experiences, physical and social resources, talents, and anything else that makes you feel good about yourself. Add to the list the compliments that others have given you as well. Reminding yourself of all your assets is a sure confidence booster.
2. Accept that you are a desirable package rather than any one individual item. Accept that you are not perfect. Don't let any one particular shortcoming negate that you are a complex, multifaceted desirable package. See the desirable package that you are by taking a picture of yourself with a big smile on your face and post it on your bathroom mirror. Every time you look at your smile think of each of the positive characteristics that define you.
3. Trust that you are competent. Remind yourself of all the problems you have faced and tackled. Have faith that even if you cannot deal with a problem yourself that you will have the ingenuity to get the help, skills, or knowledge that you need. Doubting your capability? Take on a new challenge and prove to yourself you CAN rather than you can't. Pay attention to each accomplishment regardless of how small and make a mental note or, even better, keep a note pad. Give yourself extra credit when it required significant effort and don't forget to pat yourself on the back.
4. Believe in your own worth. Recognize that means making yourself a priority some of the time. Think of something you want to do and do it. Give yourself permission to say no, ask for what you want, or maneuver into a position to make it happen. Be prepared to tolerate disappointing others for the sake of recognizing that you matter and taking care of yourself.
5. Think back to most recent experience where you felt you fell short, made a mistake, or messed-up and force yourself to name five things that went right. We are not defined by any one thing but by the accumulation of our experiences.
6. Look in a full size mirror and pick five things that you are looking at that make you feel good. You can pick five things you see on the outside such as your physical attributes: eyes, lips, hair, nails, legs, feet, toes, or smile. You can also pick things related to your style such as: your hairdo, clothing, stance, make-up, shoes, or jewelry. In addition, you can pick items that come from the inside such as: your sparkle, spirit, energy, compassion, or kindness. Having trouble? Ask someone that matters to you to name five things you have to feel good about yourself. Try this every day for a week.

Now that didn't take long, did it?
As it shouldn't come as a surprise, Drew Stanton has asked for his release from the New York Jets. Who can blame him? One week ago he was told that he was the number 2 quarterback. Now, there is another guy coming in to be the number 2. Why would he want to stay here? To be a number 3? He could have stayed in Detroit to do that.
He is the guy that gets screwed in this situation. Yes, there will be extra scrutiny on Mark Sanchez. Yes, he will hear the chants if he doesn't play well. All very true. But the guy who got the short end of the stick is Drew Stanton. He was looking for his chance to be a backup, and the Jets were all too willing to give him that chance. Now he is told, sorry, you can compete to be the number 3? Not fair?
It hurts Mike Tannenbaum's credibility. Stanton wants out, and he should be allowed out. To reference older times, he no longer wants to be the "backup QB of the NYJ".

Inexplicably, Albert Mohler gets something right.
Discussing the television series Downton Abbey, he acknowledges that much of our civil, religion-based turmoil is grounded in a backward-looking rejection of modernity.
And yet, most viewers are likely unaware of what they are actually seeing. They are not merely watching an historical drama, they are witnessing the passing of a world. And that larger story, inadequately portrayed within Downton Abbey, is a story that should not be missed. That story is part of our own story as well. It is the story of the modern age arriving with revolutionary force, and with effects that continue to shape our own world.
[ ... ]
The stable hierarchies of Downton Abbey grew increasingly unstable. Britain, which had been overwhelmingly a rural nation until the last decade of the nineteenth century, became increasingly urban. A transformation in morals changed the very character of the nation, and underlying it all was a great surge of secularization that set the stage for the emergence of the radically secular nation that Britain has become.
He even quotes the exact same passage from Dover Beach that I quoted yesterday in connection with the Baptist Press complaint about inerrancy 'drift' in Christian academia.
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Mohler has lately written a great deal about the wickedness of contraception, too, and Upton Sinclair had this to say about that at just about the time in which Downton Abbey is set:
Birth control is one of the great fundamental achievements of the human reason, as important to the life of mankind as the discovery of fire or the invention of printing. Birth control is the deliverance of womankind, and therefore of mankind also, from the blind and insane fecundity of nature, which created us animals, and would keep us animals forever if we did not rebel.
That's striking, don't you think? Mohler characterizes contraception as one of the world's great evils, and Sinclair characterizes it as a great achievement of human reason.
The battle for modernity could hardly be set out with more starkness.
Pay attention, Albert: The genii isn't going back in the bottle. Humankind isn't going to unlearn contraception, unlearn firearms or nuclear physics, unlearn what it knows about epigenetic markers and sexual orientation, unlearn grow-your-own replacement organs using stem cells, unlearn instantaneous global communication; technology has left your tribal, now cult-ish, worldview and ethical teachings behind.
And ethical teachings that aren't grounded in the lived reality of the world as it is … well, as Reverend Johnson so famously prayed in Blazing Saddles, "O Lord, do we have the strength to carry off this mighty task in one night? Or are we just jerking off?"


text: LEE COUNTY, FL - Lee county school district officials started a new program in 2011. One that few believed would ever be necessary. District officials say they will no longer be able to afford to give free school lunches to students whose parents skip out on paying up. A spokesperson for the school system says the district has absorbed more than 130 thousand dollars in delinquent lunch fees in the last couple of years. Bottom line, school employees didn't want to see kids go hungry, so even if there was no money in the child's lunch account, they gave them a meal anyway. An audit showed the district was losing, on average, 2 thousand dolllars a week this year alone. Spokesperson, Joe Donzelli said the practice had to stop. Now, kids who are not on a free lunch program and who don't have funds in their account will receive a cheese sandwich and a 4 ounce container of juice for lunch. That's it. No matter what the meal of the day is. The hope is parents will start to work with school officials to keep funds in their child's account. Donzelli says he understands that these are trying times and hopes parents who are struggling will come forward and get help that is readily available.
