health note to community.nytimes.com
. the wealthy are known to get less cancers
and that is because their occupational hazards are less
and their diet is better:
more on seafood -- a sure source of selenium-cysteine compounds --
less glycemic load, and less emotional stress
-- hormone modulators that have a huge impact on cancer risk .

take your cheap selenium supplement (2stars)
(tags: selenium, selenite, selenate, glutathione peroxidase, cysteine, egg, yolk)
. although much of this research is out-dated,
the one advice they gave that still stands is:
. if you do nothing else,
take a cheap selenium supplement (sodium selenite)
[11.6: (but use selenate not selenite)]
and don't be afraid of egg yolks .
. later they commented in an interview
that the most out-dated thing about the book
was its heavy reliance on anti-oxidant theory,
whereas glycemic load plays a much greater role in current research .

stepwise.com flushed book's downloads

co.net/amazon/Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X: the vermont recipes:
interesting history (1 star)
(tags: cocoa, advanced)
. the book gives a bad link to the source code download;
as of Halloween 2009, Scott Anguish has emptied that site
leaving nothing but a link to the site of the newest cocoa book:
and another link to his twitter account
where he describes himself as depressed, disgruntled employee .
. I did find another source for both the source code
and a beta version of the book itself in pdf format;
but he does sound intent on finding such sources and removing them .
(that site also had the errata sheet, which I copied from google's cache) .
. I gave this book one star simply to
bring that little surprise to much attention;
otherwise, I still think it's a good deal,
since Apple's SDK and my other textbooks give plenty of source code;
while this book warns you to study obj'c coding elsewhere
and then talks you through the many cocoa idioms .
. my intended route for using this book
will be (in this order):
and, finally,
this book (Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X) .
. interestingly,
Scott Anguish (who dumped the sample code site)
coauthored [Cocoa Programming] with Erik Buck
and it is Buck's [Cocoa Design Patterns]
that will have convinced many of us to 2nd-rate Anguish's [Cocoa Programming]
-- an otherwise legendary book .
[12.30: I had used Google's cache of
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/VermontRecipes/errata.html
but have since found this site works: vermontrecipes.com/errata.html
as do these links for various downloads:
11.1: Cocoa Recipes old downloads:
11.2: Cocoa Recipes current downloads:
-- can only be opened in older versions of Xcode.

security door
11.29: gear/security.room
. security door on wheels doesn't need conventional hinges
can tab&groove for a much stronger approach .
. the walls are reinforced from the inside as in spokane closet;
but add metal siding too before installing the shells .
tank treads for pot.holes
11.25: gear/tank-based pothole negotiation:
. for pot holes use an attachment that is like tank treads:
like a ski foot used by a snowmobile for steering
except it's an inline skate (a series of skate wheels)
with a tread belt around them;
so when the skate catches the edge of a pothole,
that edge doesn't get lodged between wheels .
. the skate is mounted on the front wheels
in either of 2 positions:
. if there is snow, sand, etc to steer on,
then it's being pressed flat on the ground
to steer the way ski-mobile does .
. if there is pavement or rocks,
then its lifted and angled,
so as to act like the tank's treads .
