Cinnamon actually slows the body's uptake of sugar. We put it in cake icing and it keeps down that sugar rush us old fogies can't quite handle any more.
For my kids we won't let 'em have sugar deserts after supper and they are MUCH more well behaved getting to bed. I'm not sure they are any less "bouncing off the walls" but they do go to sleep much easier.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Seems like every third article on/. I have to run to Wikipedia just to figure out what piece of software or what abbreviation someone's blabbering about. It's like trying to read a forum for a game you're not familiar with.
Last time I was at the Doc, my data all got entered by a clerk, then re-entered by a nurse, then re-entered by the Doctor. They all seemed to think it was all perfectly normal, redundancy for accuracy kinda thing. It drove me nuts.
I disagree. I have a GREAT Microsoft mouse. In fact, I consider it to be much more valuable than the several pieces of their software I had to delete off my hard drive when I originally bought my computers.
They also didn't include a map. I mean, c'mon, if you're talking about a 10 freaking mile long man-made hole in the ground isn't a map showing it's route a pretty damned obvious thing to think that a reader would want to see?
He was one of the ones that created the rules leading to the collapse of the housing market. THEN he came in and began making the rules to FIX the housing market, blaming the problem on someone else. I say he's a perfect fit at the MPAA.
I understand the difference between a WAG (wild assed guess) and a scientific hypothesis. But you used the word speculate yourself. At the very least this could have been couched with a "might" or a "maybe". I didn't read TFA, maybe they did and it wasn't in the synopsis. I just get bothered when there is a report of exact certitude when there could be multiple explanations for what they have observed. Another example, the people telling us the world's weather is going to be a specific number of degrees hotter or colder in a decade. They can't even accuratly predict a week out. No matter how accurately we can observe an exoplanet from Earth, at this distance, most of that interpreted data is not much better than a guess.
Thank you. All they've found is a certain wobble in light from a distant star. They have inferred lots and lots but *know* practically nothing about these planets. I'm getting really tired of all different branches of science saying with exact certitude what they can only guess at.
nah, I wanted to make it an.org when we started it up, but the pastor said it was just confuse people. That.com was the standard. When I protested he said "trust me, you deal with nerds, I deal with everyday people, it will confuse them." So, I trusted him.
What would I do to improve it? Drop the damn thing. It's boring as hell watching it slowly slide down a big pole. Actually drop it like a gallows drop or a bungee jumper diving off.
I don't understand how the patent could apply anyway. The individual football teams are part of individual universities. the NCAA is a collection of those universities. They have made an agreement between themselves on how they are going to determine an arbitrary designation for one of their members. How could any outsider have any claim over that process?
It'd be like me trying to go patent "apricot coke-a-cola" some something foolish like that.

After supper is pretty routine here. Brush teeth, bath, story, prayers and bed. Doesn't change because of what they eat.

And the video is damned useless. It jumps around so quick you can't even figure out what half the stuff is and offers no explanation.
99% of us have disabled that damned thing as soon as we installed. The rest should.

After all the whining and complaining that goes on this site when Foxnews is cited, we're posting articles from Mother Freaking Jones?
Meh

not easily, though.
And Especially not easy if you want to dual boot it.

You mean like the one they built in Oak Ridge in the 60s?

damnit, announce when you're posting something serious. I read that whole long thing looking for the joke to start.

so does my church and the local rotary - most folk people think it means "computer" not "commercial"
Alternative response: The Democrats don't because selling their BS would be against their socialist beliefs.

Hell, most people don't even know the rules of American football!
Oh c'mon. The Refs are having a bad enough season, there's no reason to pile on.

And if sports are OK then why not, say, strip clubs?
Sports build character, make men into boys, provide wholesome entertainment for millions of fans.
But you suggest strip clubs?... hey, wait. That's not a bad idea. I'm thinking back to some of the co-eds I went to college with.
Can we patent this idea?
Yer a karma-Whore...
But thank you.
