I’m not a survivalist heck-bent on stock-piling for the apocalypse, and learning all I can about bushcraft type things, but I will leave this here:

(If anyone needs a gift idea 😉 )
Today we here at URR have embarked on a quest into an as-yet-unexplored direction for us. Let me preface this by saying that it is the latest in a line of projects the like of  which we derived our name (UnRulyRecursion) and slogan (Recursion of projects into projects).
First we drank and enjoyed beer. Life was good. Then, we were introduced to the exciting atmosphere of trying new beers, most of which were on draught, at TacoMac with some of our friends every Thursday night for Pint Night. That has, and continues to be, awesome. At the beginning of this semester, we thought about taking the logical next step, but it wasn’t until we actually had kegs lying around from our birthday party that we needed to keep cold, that we decided to build a kegerator. That is/was an awesome project, and you can see our original post here, and our updates and progress here.
But we couldn’t stop there. As we were enjoying our hard work, we noticed that by far cider was the most popular drink; the torpedo keg ran dry in less than a month! Of course we had some help from our friends, but some quick calculations easily show that we wouldn’t be able to sustain that sort of drinking volume financially (we do take donations of course, and may institute some sort of voting on what goes on tap later…in another project). So we started looking for alternatives.
That brings us to our latest project, actually trying our hand at making hard cider. It turns out that brewing your own can be much more cost effective, and also give you the flexibility to tweak the recipe to your liking. Our grandfather is our guiding pro, as he has been making fruit wines for…well…a long time. We will be working with him to craft a cider that, if it turns out anything like what we think it will, we will have on tap in the kegerator, and quite possibly available in bottles.
The recipe we just mixed up and set up for fermentation is the one here, and there are a lot of different recipes (or twists, if just adding some fruit flavoring) around, and we are excited about trying some out! (Here’s a link to the recipe as a pdf – ManCaveAmber-recipe)
EDIT: the recipe calls for 2 cans of apple juice, bu we actually used 3 cans.
We can’t leave you guys with no pictures, so here are two!

Get your computer set up to develop properly
1. Get the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This step can either be completed with the first link, which includes a large bundle of everything you’ll need, or, use the drop-down menus to find other options (for example, if you already have an IDE). Android seems to prefer Eclipse.
2. Install Eclipse Plugin:Â http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
3. Configure; download a few platforms, I grabbed 4.2 (Jellybean), and 2.2 (Froyo)
Had some trouble with this in Win8, needed to allow more permissions for the folder where it is holding the images and whatnot.
 4. Install Subclipse: http://subclipse.tigris.org/
I installed the 1.8.x Release of Subclipse, which corresponds to Subversion 1.7.x Awesome, now get developing! What, you need more? Read on then!

An important thing to note (and indeed, something central to Android and all apps), Â is that the Activity Life Cycle is super important. If you pay no attention to this, your app may not start, may lose data, and even act sporadically. Therefore, study the following diagram, as well as the life cycle as whole.
Note (from O’Reilly): “It is possible for a paused activity to be destroyed as well. For that reason, it is better to do important work, such as saving unsaved data, en route to a paused state rather than a destroyed state.” ÂHere is a set of Lecture Slides that was published online:Â AndroidLifeCycle

Or perhaps this illustration from the Reference section will appeal to you better.

Good Morning All,
I wanted to share this with you because I am particularly proud of it (as the Term Paper for my Fall ’12 CS 4001 -Ethics course – 97/100), and I think it is a good read for people who are, or know of people in this situation. The paper discusses possible privacy concerns related to RFID/HID Technology which is being used by a growing number of universities and schools.
