Ted Reinstein's Pink Hat Confession
How late? Oh, about 39 years or so late. But whos counting? Fortunately, there seems to be a general amnesty in place around Boston right now with respect to genuine, longtime (and long-suffering) Bruins fans, and the more gahden variety fan, like me. Such is the warm and toasty blanket of good feeling that has enveloped this city since the Bruins brought home the Stanley Cup from Vancouver on Thursday. Not that I have never been a fan. Far from it. As a boy, I played hockey during the winters in Winthrop. Like countless other kids across New England, I was swept up in the mania of the big, bad Bruins of the early 1970s. Orr, Esposito, Bucyk, Hodge, Cheevers, Sanderson -- those were names that had magic attached at that time. For many of us, they still do. In later years, there were new names that excited and inspired, and for good reason: Bourque, Middleton, OReilly, Neely. But alas, the new names produced no new cup. Time skated on and whatever remaining magic melted away. The Bruins slid and the Stanley Cup seemed to take up permanent residence in all cities across North America except for Boston. Worse still, it was almost cruelly ironic in recent years to watch the trophy raised in unlikely places like Anaheim, Dallas, Carolina and Tampa Bay. Think about that: The Stanley Cup was being slobbered on in Florida -- where hockey has all the tradition and historic time span of a fruit fly -- but not in Boston, one of the six original NHL cities. As a Bruins fan, my attention eventually evaporated almost entirely. I followed the Sox intently, and the Celtics and Patriots followed right behind. And why not? For the Sox, "The Curse" was triumphantly tossed off in 2004, and with the Celts and Pats, there were new bursts of dominance -- and the championships that go with it. The Bruins? They teased, they tried, but ... it never seemed to be. Last year, the ugly flameout to the Flyers only seemed to underscore the frustration that defined the team in this era: Good, but not good enough to get the cup back for a new generation of fans. And then, there was this season. Again, I readily confess, I was ignorant of all the early season ups and downs. I was vaguely aware that goalie Tim Thomas was gamely recovering from off-season surgery, and that the teams hopes for the season seemed to rest in large part on his rehabbing shoulders.Fruit Flies Raising - News
That prompted the idea of seeing whether the human gene, too, could restore magnetic sensing to fruit flies whose own gene had been knocked out. In the journal Nature Communications, Dr. Reppert reports that this is indeed the case.

They have an expert that will be coming up and that expert says they were fruit flies and something unrelated to decomposition. So we'll see who the jury believes once both sides present their cases there. Other than that, we had some very emotional
Fruit Fly's dying, I need some advice - Dendroboard
OK, so a while back my fruit fly culture production really took a hit and I have no clue why. I have tried different media's and have experimented with all kinds of different techniques such as microwaving, waiting to put the fly's in after mixing the culture, melanogaster/hydei, RO water, yeast, vinegar etc etc etc. Now when I make my culture and put the fly's in they all die within a day or two. Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? I was doing so well for a while with no problems and serious larval growth and fly production, but now it is like the fruit fly gods have cursed me. I have dealt with mites of course, but this is totally different. I have done everything that others have done and my flies just die after i put them in the culture and I am at a loss for ideas. Help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! Thankyou guys in advance....Oli wiedemey, I think that you may be correct with that as it isn't a media issue as i have changed the brands and recipe's that I have been using and it doesn't seem to make a difference, the fly's will just die within a few days. I use the 32oz deli cups with the insect/cloth lids for ventilation. The temps of the room that I keep the deli cups in is about 70-80 degrees, but it doesn't seem to make much difference as they just die fast. I re-use my cups, and I re-use the lids for a few times, but I will sterilize them in the microwave between batches. How can I increase air flow to my cultures as I do use live yeast in my cultures. I even tried to avoid sprinkling bakers yeast on top in the end and it didn't make any difference the fly's died. I'm sure that their is still brewer's yeast in the media itself though as it is a pre-mixed purchased product. Right now I am using WARD's media, but have used black jungle, ed's, and several others. I used to have zero problems with the cultures but now this is happening and I just have no idea why, it doesn't seem like I have even changed anything in making the cultures. I have tried coffee filters, excelsior, and I have even used window screen, or plastic grating to see if that had any influence on the cultures but it didn't. Please help me out this is getting really really frustrating and I can't keep buying cultures. Thanks in advance!!! Oli Tough to increase air flow but easy to reduce CO2 production: start with fresh cups (Josh's is having a one day sale today) and lids, and a booming culture of flies (I have had the best luck with wingless D.
