Also, the book these are actually all named after, The Varieties of Religious Experience, by William James.

I lost a little faith when I saw the article referred to Neanderthals as "our ancestors"...

Intrigued by the throwaway comment that we know handedness is genetically determined. Is that true? I was under the impression it was a developmental issue (identical twins with opposite orientation being one piece of evidence here).

I've developed an app for my own use (which doesn't look anywhere near as good visually!).

My biggest pain points were cleaning the account data, to make it suitable for import, and getting the appropriate prices so I can see the value of the accounts at any point.

My financial institution has two sets of downloadable CSV files - one for cash movements, one for stock transactions. They don't include stock symbols, just a "description" which occasionally changes. I'd suggest a plugin system where uploaded statements can be transformed first (depending on where they are from) into the common format your app imports. This would provide a useful point where people could contribute to the app.

Pricing is something I found hard too - I also use yahoo for current prices, along with a couple of other sources. Historical price ranges can be very hard to come by, at least for free and in easily accessible forms.

This is just premixed and shaped dough brought into stores and then cooked there surely. There's no guy at the back of your co-op carefully nurturing his bread-mother.

I'm in the UK and would prefer to buy non-Chorleywood bread, but my local corner shops only sell what looks like versions of the regular supermarket stuff, and the only genuinely artisan bakery is a distance away. Our local (medium sized) supermarket has the "bakery" section of unwrapped and traditional looking bread - but they are "baked in store", and I've no idea of the process that's used to produce the incoming dough. I suspect no real baker is involved.
