The early Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, and many creationists today would tell you the chicken came first, because the Book of Genesis reveals that God created birds on the fifth day, along with sea monsters; and we can presume that these original birds emerged ex nihilo as full-fledged adults, or they wouldn't have been able to "fly above the earth across the dome of the sky" (Gen 1:20).

Prognostic value of preoperative peripheral neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma after radical hepatectomy
Fu SJ, Shen SL, Li SQ, Hua YP, Hu WJ, Liang LJ, Peng BG. Med Oncol. 2013 Dec;30(4):721. doi: 10.1007/s12032-013-0721-6. Epub 2013 Sep 13.
Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510080, Guangdong, People's Republic of China.
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), an inflammation index, is considered a prognostic predictor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative peripheral NLR in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated HCC after radical hepatectomy. Clinical data were collected from patients with HBV-associated HCC who underwent radical hepatectomy. NLR was calculated from lymphocyte and neutrophil counts on preoperative routine blood tests. Demographics, laboratory analyses, and histopathological data were analyzed. A total of 282 patients were selected and divided by the cutoff NLR value of 2. Multivariate analysis showed that NLR > 2 was an independent prognostic predictor of poor disease-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.362; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.025-1.811; P = 0.033] and overall survival (HR = 1.434; 95% CI 1.044-1.970; P = 0.023). NLR had a good predictive value for prognosis in patients with HBV-associated HCC who had normal serum AFP level. These results suggested that NLR is an independent indicator of both disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with HBV-associated HCC after radical hepatectomy, including AFP-normal patients.

I went out with Jesse tonight and I swear it seemed like everything was cool. When we got back to her cousins house we went inside said hello to her sister and uncle,then went to her room to watch tv. Jesse was sitting on her bed, and I was in the closet changing my clothes,since I was staying the night,and I walked out the closet to see her standing right in front of me, and as usual she looks amazing even in her sweats and tshirt with her long blonde hair pulled back. And just like last year we were in the same situation, she stood in front of me with a "You know you like me"look and I just of course was drawn to her like a magnet. And we ended up kissing again. And this time I didn't pull away, just to hell with trying to avoid it. Its become obvious to me that our relationship will never be over, that I will always be drawn to her, and she won't stop til I get that through my head!
Girls in sweats are automatically irresistible sometimes it is just better to experience things than wonder what it would've been like, like you said.
I travel 'round the block
And I'm not looking to my right
I feel the glass against my cheek
And I can't see you in the light
I break my heart around this

Amazon Prime Music Just Set Streaming Music's Price
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- For much of the last year, companies have been scrambling to create their own Pandora (P - Get Report) and take a piece of the growing -- but poorly monetized -- music streaming market. Amazon (AMZN - Get Report) may have just stumbled upon the solution.
In a message to Amazon Prime members in mid-June, Amazon unveiled Prime Music, a collection of more than a million songs and hundreds of playlists available to Prime members through the Amazon Music app. The service is accessible through Amazon's Kindle Fire and Fire TV products, Android and Apple iOS devices, Samsung Smart TVs and speakers and just about any Mac or PC.
It streams playlists and it allows Prime users free cloud access to whole albums including Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, John Legend's Love In The Future and Prince's Purple Rain. It also does all of it commercial free, much like Pandora's premium Pandora One service.
So what separates Prime Music from Pandora One or Apple's iTunes radio and its recently purchased Beats Music? Prime customers are already paying for it, bundled with a bunch of other services including two-day shipping of Amazon marketplace products and Prime video streaming of movies and television shows -- including the HBO back catalog of The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Boardwalk Empire and more. Amazon, Apple and even wireless providers like Sprint (S) and AT&T (T - Get Report) have been taking their cues from Comcast (CMCSA - Get Report), Verizon (VZ), Cumulus (CMLS), ClearChannel (CCO) and others by building their media ecosystems to keep as many consumers in house as possible. As Comcast and others make bandwidth deals with Netflix (NFLX - Get Report), Verizon keeps building its RedboxInstant catalog and AT&T basically swallows DirecTV (DTV), streaming music and the independent providers behind it have been the next logical targets. Apple attempted to work around them with with iTunes Radio -- and its failing attempt to use streaming to sell music downloads -- but it discovered the streaming audience doesn't care about buying music. Only about 2% of iTunes Radio listeners ever hit the "buy" button to download a song. Apple's purchase of Beats Music seemed to be more about headphone hardware than streaming, but Apple picked up a streaming service that may be small -- with user numbers struggling to reach the 1 million mark even after a partnership with 110-million user service provider AT&T --but has the respect of music mainstays like Dr. Dre and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor. It's a better platform that Apple just needs to squeeze money from. That's been the dream of just about every company that's sidled up to streaming services within the last year. Sprint paired with Spotify earlier this year in an attempt to not only lure music fans, but to get them to shell out for more data. Cumulus partnered with Rdio not just to give the streaming service more content, but to give its family of radio stations a broader audience. All of the above are just an attempt to wring money from music that consumers are loathe to pay for anymore. The number of music download purchases dropped for the first time in 2013, according to Nielsen and has just continued to plummet in the first half of 2014. Interactive streaming like that offered by Spotify and Beats Music increased volume to 34.28 billion streams in the first quarter of the year from 25.44 billion streams during the same period in 2013. With music executives putting 1,500 streams at the equivalent of a full digital album, streaming equivalent albums have increased by 10.1 million units so far this year as download sales dropped by roughly 9 million units, according to Nielsen. Even Pandora has struggled to make its music pay, shoving more ads into its free service and raising the cost of Pandora One for new subscribers from $3.99 a month last year to $4.99 a month earlier this year. That's $60 a year just for streaming alone. When Amazon raised the price of Prime for new members from $79 a year to $99 earlier this year, it faced the same question that's still puzzling Pandora: Where's the value? Amazon responded by securing proprietary streaming content for its video service and tapping into its supply of cloud-based music content to cobble together a streaming service. It may not be quite as intricate as what Pandora offers or tailor its playlists to a user's profile as the Music Genome Project does, but it's a streaming service that existing Prime customers get as a freebie and that new customers see as added incentive to sign on for Prime service. Prime Music does what the Fire Phone can't and what Apple's iTunes infrastructure won't: It enhances the overall value of the service. Amazon's Fire products have had a tough time keeping pace with Apple even at lower prices, but the integration and bundling of all of Amazon's offerings -- marketplace, video, audio, e-books, etc. -- under one payment and on several different devices is making a strong pitch to consumers. Amazon isn't pleading with them to ditch Netflix, Pandora or even iTunes on-demand services, but showing them how much Prime can offer under one roof. And why not? Apple's playing a similar game quite effectively. Its iTunes Radio isn't shaking up anyone's world, but it's already the third-largest streaming service with an 8% market share second only to ClearChannel's iHeartRadio (9%) and Pandora (31%). Both Apple and Amazon can whack away at Pandora's market share for a while before they have to turn their attention on each other. Amazon, however, took the extra step of setting up an all-inclusive pricing scheme and shoving everything else into it. Instead of streaming music and bringing in zero for it while hoping consumers find it in their hearts to download the occasional album, Amazon gave itself a base membership price to work with and built up. It's not unlike what Costco did by making membership fees the foundation of its retail model, and much of that bulk shop's growth and ancillary offerings including tire shops, auto sales and travel services are bolstered by that base consumer investment. Instead of making consumers pay for yet another a la carte service, Amazon just enhanced a product it's already offering. That should not only make the subscription chasers at Pandora scared, but should have the minds behind Apple's iTunes dreaming up an all-for-one pricing scheme of their own. -- Written by Jason Notte in Portland, Ore. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Jason Notte. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/notteham. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

About the Pullman Human Rights Commission
Ten Ways to Fight Hate A Community Response Guide All over the country people are fighting hate. Standing up to hate mongers. Promoting tolerance, acceptance and inclusion. The Southern Poverty Law Center recently published a community response guide to fight hate. This guide sets out ten principles for fighting hate along with a collection of inspiring stories of people who acted, often alone at first, to push hate out of their communities. Their efforts usually made smaller headlines than the acts of the haters, but they made a difference. The steps outlined in this guide have been tested in scores of communities across the U.S. by a wide range of human rights, religious and civic organizations. One person, acting from conscience and love, can neutralize bigotry. A group of people can create a moral barrier to hate. Ten Ways to Fight Hate:

Sorry if I am confusing everyone. I just wrote a review for Tawny Rose. Either way, I love this LL. Very nice neutral pink you can wear with most lippies. I have it on now with MAC Lustering. Even when you do not put a lipstick on and just outline with this, my lips look full and lush. I do have pigmented lips, but this is great. Does remind me of Benefit Flush, without the coral.
This lip pencil is a very pretty neutral brownish pink color. I like this one because the pink is muted and not bright like so many other pink lip pencils I've tried. The price is way too high for a lip pencil, though.
i absolutely love this lip liner. what a bargain - it comes with a lip brush on one end AND a lip liner pencil sharpener! whoppee - now i can toss my nasty old bobbi brown sharpener.
on to the good stuff. this color matches my lips perfectly. far more superior than MAC whip - that was a bit darker than my natural color. i'm ecstatically happy. the color is exactly what's described - a rosey tawny color - PERFECT!

Born and bred on the Gold Coast, Travis enjoyed an affiliation with the ocean from a young age through his involvement with the Australian surf lifesaving movement. Following recent victories in the Battle of the Paddle Hawaii, and most of the major SUP races on the East Coast of Australia, Travis is now regarded as one of the fiercest distance paddlers on the planet.
Travis has proven to be a great ambassador for the FCS SUP fin category by winning multiple events on a range of different SUP specific templates. The future looks bright as Travis plans to continue traveling the globe dominating a range of paddle genres, but when he's home you'll most likely find him surfing his favorite local break Currumbin Alley.

Christianity is the world's most prolific religion, with churches and other dedicated buildings on literally every continent, including Antarctica. Several sites built in the name of Christianity are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
As Christian congregations have had a significant role in most communities where they are present, a traveller regardless of faith will learn much from visiting a local church.
Some main types of Christian buildings and sites are:
- Cathedral: A prominent church, and the seat of a bishop
- Church: A building dedicated to Christian prayer and ceremony, inaugurated by a bishop
- Chapel: A similar, non-inaugurated building
- Monastery: A place where monks live and worship communally
- Convent: A place where nuns live and worship communally
- Cemetery: Can be tied to a Christian congregation or be multi-religious
- See also: Holy Land
- Vatican City, an independent state within Rome, center of the Catholic Church
- Jerusalem, Israel
- Bethlehem, West Bank, the birthplace of Jesus according to the New Testament
- Mount Athos, Greece, a peninsula with many Orthodox monasteries
- Moscow, Russia, center of the Russian Orthodox church
- Salt Lake City, United States, center of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) movement.
- Lourdes, France, world's best-known center of Marian pilgrimage
- Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela
- Aparecida, Brazil
- Saint Olaf's Way to Trondheim, Norway, to Nidaros Cathedral, where St. Olaf is buried
When attending a service or ceremony at a Christian place of worship, it is appropriate to dress conservatively and show respect; details vary by place. It is a very good idea to learn a bit about the local rules before visiting a place of worship. There is a vast difference between any expected behaviour during a service; for example, some may define behaving reverently as not eating or drinking or taking photographs, checking your mobile phone, and so on. On the other hand many churches are more like a modern concert in style where all of the above are welcome. Some even have the eating and drinking as the basis of the service sitting around in a 'Café Style'. In many Christian churches, a man should remove his hat, and in some, a woman is expected to cover her head. Depending on the church and what is going on at the time, voices should be kept down, and mobile phones and similar devices should be set to silent. You should avoid leaving the church while the service is in progress unless necessary; again depending on the type and style of service.
If you are visiting a place of worship that is a destination for travellers and are not interested in worship, it is better to wait for a service or ceremony to conclude before visiting. Alternatively, if you want to know more of the heart of the community, go to a service.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
Churches tend to use the language of the country they are located. There are also many expatriate churches in many places using the language of a community's homeland.
The Roman Catholic church used to employ the Latin language widely, although this has been changed since the 1970s so that services are typically given in the language of the community. The Vatican is a place where Latin may still be observed in active use.
Many Christian houses of worship are spectacular buildings. On their exteriors, many churches have stone carving, for example in their tympana and niches. In their interiors, many have priceless works of art, in the form of frescoes, framed paintings, sculptures, stained glass windows, mosaics, and woodworking. They may also have relics - the remains of body parts or objects associated with saints or other figures holy to Christians - that inspired the original construction of a cathedral, or famous icons of the Virgin Mary, which are primarily responsible for making the building a place of pilgrimage.
In addition, cathedrals and other large churches may have lovely bell towers or baptisteries with separate entrances that are well worth visiting, and particularly old churches may have a crypt that includes artifacts from previous houses of worship the current building was built on top of, and associated museums that house works of art formerly displayed in the church.
Churches are places for:
- Personal meditation, contemplation and prayer between masses/services
- Worship services, which vary widely in style between different churches
- Confession of sins or/and counseling
- Religious education and spiritual direction
- Various sacraments, such as baptism, confirmation, weddings, and funerals
- Communal activities, such as shared meals or snacks
- Charitable giving and receiving
- Many also run concert series or other performances, some of which are world-famous, or/and are known for having a great organist, chorus, or/and solo singers and instrumentalists
Churches generally have pamphlets in plain sight of visitors, describing their spiritual mission, schedule of services, communal and charitable activities, what charitable and maintenance/restoration work needs contributions, who to contact to find out more information about all of the above, and often the history of the building and its artworks.
Some churches have a money box where visitors can pay for candles and booklets or give to the church or/and its various missions and charities. Others have cafes or/and gift shops. Some do not want you to give money unless you attend regularly, as their spiritual mission is to welcome all comers, but it is a rare church that wouldn't welcome a sincere donation.
Some churches offer wine (with alcohol) as part of a communion service. Others will offer a non-alcoholic replacement such as grape juice.
Some denominations of Christianity prohibit or restrict alcohol consumption, while others celebrate it. So whereas a social event organized by a Baptist church in the United States may be strictly alcohol-free, a Catholic church in Germany is likely to invite all members of the congregation to join the celebrants at a beer hall after a high mass. The beer hall may even be next to the church, and the beer they serve may be brewed by monks.
Different branches of Christianity have different attitudes to other activities on a Sunday. In some areas customs may demand that shops and entertainments shut on a Sunday.
Some monasteries offer accommodation to travellers.

Hi All,
Being new to the concealed carry world, I have signed on to several CC and 'gun' forums in order to gain added information. I went to the United States Concealed Carry Association forum(?) site and have now been barraged with many emails wanting me to join their association to take advantage of a 'host' of meaning books, forums, magazine, and even have access to a Self-Defense Shield program that would provide legal counsel if I were to ever have to draw my weapon for defense.
Are you folks familiar with this outfit and what is/are your opinions?? I 'did' see a short review on this site from a "Christians with guns" site and they said it pretty much worked as advertised except for the excessive emails. Still unconvinced, I thought I would solicit your views. Thanks.

14, Number 11 |
in this section: Don
Winner's finance columnist
Freeman, online gambling cheat
by Eric Jackson, largely quoting or linking to others "Eric
Jackson states that Freeman (Boswell) was concocting a network of
offshore businesses by Internet and among those mentions a gambling
business called Gold Palace about which he said there was a "fraud
alert" with respect to this company. This statement is totally
false, given that Mr. Mark Boswell and/or Rex Freeman has no
connection with the same, which by any light constitutes an openly
injurious act."
Boswell alias Rex Freeman's
defamation complaint
"The only thing I did was open up the door to allow Mark Boswell a little equal time in the face of Eric Jackson's onslaught'" Donald
K. Winner
You may have noticed how way out of whack the uploading of The Panama News has become. That's in large part because I am spending a lot of time, energy and money being a criminal defendant. I'm dealing with a guy from the "patriot" militia movement, which specializes in filing harassing legal papers, who has filed a criminal defamation (calumnia e injuria) complaint against me. I have a hearing at the Juzgado Penal Octavo in Balboa (the Maritime Tribunal building, across the parking lot from Niko's) on August 20 and my lawyers and I intend to be prepared. I kid you not about the "patriot" militia personality and tactics come here to Panama. See,
>http://www.adl.org/Learn/Ext_US/SCM.asp?LEARN_Cat=Extremism&LEARN I thought that the point about Internet gambling scams was be the weakest part of my case, looking at it from the perspective of what evidence a US court would allow into evidence. All I had in the way of documentation was one thing that had been published online (the fraud alert) and my notes on another website of Boswell alias Freeman's Privacy Club International that showed a link to the bogus gambling operation in question, but said website has since been erased. That left me with only three potential witnesses who have told me that Boswell alias Freeman had admitted to them his involvement in online gambling. From a US law enforcement standpoint, online gambling is a crime but it isn't in Panama so I would expect that Panama would not extradite or expel for that --- but then for FRAUD in online gambling they just might. But then this man seems to have bought protection here. He's living in Paitilla on Via Israel, has an office nearby, has a condo under construction on Amador and has bought a large tract of land on Cerro Azul. I do suspect that a chunk of all the money he stole has been lavished on Torrijos administration officials, which is why he not only got residency, but is allowed to offer unlicensed investment funds and banking services from these shores. Anyway, old Rocky and Bullwinkle fan that I am, I have been getting into Sherman and Peabody mode with this handy thing, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Suddenly the paper trail on this point doesn't seem so weak at all: Mark Boswell alias Rex Freeman, in his criminal defamation complaint against "SEVENTH: Eric Jackson states that Freeman (Boswell) was concocting a network of offshore businesses by Internet and among those mentions a gambling business called Gold Palace about which he said there was a "fraud alert" with respect to this company. This statement is totally false, given that Mr. Mark Boswell and/or Rex Freeman has no connection with the same, which by any light constitutes an openly injurious act." I thought I might have hearsay problems --- although some people whom I intend to call as witnesses had told me directly that Mark Boswell alias Rex Freeman did run an online gambling thing. But despite all hearsay problems, since they mention in their complaint that I reported on what someone else reported, the fact that they reported it should at least become relevant --- see http://www.sportsbookreview.com/SR.aspx?S=4SportsPicks "10/14/2004 04:58 PM SBR Scam Alert: Gold Palace (SBR rating F-) - who has scammed many large players has reopened under WinBig.Biz (SBR rating F-). The owner goes by the name of Rex Freeman who has many online ventures. It is likely this scam operation will resume soliciting large bettors by phone. WinBig has obtained the services of Capilleira, who is the parent company of 4SportsPicks.com (SBR rating D-)." That's all I can find via Google these days, but then I dug just a bit deeper. 'Sherman, turn the Wayback Machine to....' And then... BINGO! Using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, one gets to: http://web.archive.org/web/20030529090530/http://www.betgoldpalace.com/ That archived website, from May 29, 2003 2003, lists the address of Gold Palace, with which Rex Freeman denies any connection: "Mailing Address: BGP Sports c/o PCI Investments, S.A. P.O. Box 6354 Panama 5, Panama" Yes, that's Rex Freeman's Privacy Club International. (The mailbox in question is of the Cajigas law firm, which incorporated and acts as an agent for Boswell alias Freeman's Privacy Club International and InterGlobal Finance companies.) See also, from the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20030608155544/http://betgoldpalace.com/ and scroll down to "Live Support" and notice an email address listed there: email@example.com Is this OUR Rex? Then, click "about" near the top of the page and when that page comes up, scroll down toward the bottom of the page: "Legal BetGoldPalace.com is operated under contract for P.C.I. Investments, S.A. a Panama corporation." Again, Rex Freeman's Privacy Club International. Then go to the Wayback Machine and look up WinBig.biz, and get, from June 22, 2004: http://web.archive.org/web/20040727120503/www.legendsports.biz/ Notice the similarities with the Gold Palace stuff above, AND the reference on the page to Gold Palace. Then, go to http://web.archive.org/web/20040814104722/http://www.winbig.biz/ (from August 14, 2004) and hit one of the few things left on the page, "contact us," and lo and behold what comes up (when the link is working, as it goes in and out): "Mailing
Interglobal Finance, S.A.
P.O. Box 6354 Panama 5, Panama" It's Rex Freeman's Interglobal Finance. See
also http://www.bookmaker-reviews.com/penaltybox
http://www.sportscrew.com/review/blacklist.php http://www.jackpotfinder.com/blacksz.phtml http://www.onlinebettingtycoon.com/bookmakers-black-list.aspx http://www.scamsportsbooks.com/sportsbooks.html And there you have it, folks: an online gambling cheat, supported by the right-wing website that seems to support every predatory criminal who comes down to Panama seeking cover within Republican circles of this country's American community. What an unsurprising partnership. And note that by Winner's account, he met Mark Boswell alias Rex Freeman at a casino in Panama City. You'd think that any professionally run casino would have bouncers to keep people like these out.

5 AggressivevVPHOENIXVv | 09/07/2010 | See all vVPHOENIXVv's reviews (7)They wanted to make even more "violent" album then Sacrament.Well they did exactly that.I bought Scrament solely because of "Redneck", and then I was blown away by whole record.It's rarely(and I mean extremely rarely) that I like all tracks of the same CD,and yet Sacrament was one of them.Wrath is like Sacrament,in a way, but as I said even more brutal.It might fool you at first with it's opening track "The Passing",which is surprisingly calm and melodic.Then you'll hear the ominous scream and the exelent transaction to "In Your Words".Terrific guitars and bass,Chris Adler drumming aggressively,and then Randy Blythes brutal scream concludes the metal GREATNESS that is Lamb of God.From that point on it's raging inferno of a record.I could go on and on,but honestly no words can discribe it.I won't even write down "stand-out" or "recommended" track.Let's just say that there's one more album that I like from beginning to the end.Oh and the packaging is damn awesome as well.
5 Wrath...album of the year!!!BucsFan | 13/03/2009 | See all BucsFan's reviews (3)This is the year of Lamb of God's 6th album release and quite possibly their best to date!!! Wrath the album is what the metal world has been waiting for. A classic full throttle ride that takes the listener through a musical ride which only gets better with every play. The whole band are on form, particularly yet again the stunning guitar work of duo Mark Morton and Willie Adler - two guitarists that are surely now up there with the all time great's from Maiden, Priest etc. Randy Blythe's vocals sound like he's been gargling with crushed glass and delivered with the venom of a deadly snake!!! Chris Adler's drumming puts many of the greats to shame with speed and technical terms of his play and it's good to hear John Campbell's bass solo chugging on 'Contractor'!!!Stand out tracks??? The whole darn album in my eyes!!!Lamb of God are the future of heavy metal!!! Forget Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine...this band is REAL heavy metal!!!If everyone so far has given this album 5 stars then it's gotta be the real deal!!!In 2009 nobody will top this album...close the polls now because we have a winner!!! Thank-you Lamb of God!!!
5 WOW!!!!!!!monksy1 | 26/02/2009 | See all monksy1's reviews (2)This album is album is absolutely brilliant! The riffing of the band is so tight and focussed and extremely groovy. LOG somehow manage to tip a nod to metals past (melodic twin guitar parts and some nice bluesy touches in places) but sound totally modern as well. This is no mean feat. I love a lot of new New Wave of American Heavy Metal bands, but with this release I feel that LOG have surpassed all of their peers and they are now charting their own path. Anyone who loves metal like me will love this album. Buy it now!
5 Didn't think they could do it.mustangjamied12 | 20/02/2009 | See all mustangjamied12's reviews (3)They beat Sacrament!This album is epic. It's ridiculously metal. Randy's vocals are flawless. The drummer must have multiple extra limbs and seriously the beatdown given by this is just relentless.
5 Eargasm much? ;]Jessehhhh | 28/02/2009 | See all Jessehhhh's reviews (1)OMG...How feckin awesome is this!!!I've always loved Lamb Of God..But woahhh..This is so unreal.One of their best albums by far.Skip straight to Grace. It starts out slow, but then the heavyness kicks in. It will blow your mind. xD If you are a true metal fan buy this NOW!!!=D

Here is a really neat tool to use when you get stumped in the kitchen when it comes to pairing certain flavors together. I know that I can often be found staring into the spice drawer, scratching my head wondering what spices to use with certain foods. It's a learning curve for me and one that I have come into late in life, but it is never to late to learn. And in the meantime while learning to commit this to memory, this chart will come in quite handy. Keep checking back over time, I am always updating this list.
( picture from: melindaswenson.com )
Resources are a mixed combination from: Askabout.com, and my own dabbling.
What a wonderful chart! I, too, often puzzle over what will work well together of the various things I happen to have on hand. And I like how this goes both sweet and savory . You are good… ;-)
This is excellent and will prove very helpful. I found your site because I was looking for a pairing to go into my plum jam.
Again, thank you for putting this together.
Flavourful wishes,
I have to make shakes from time to time for demonstrations to show how good my company's products are and this chart comes in handy when I decide to pair a shake with some fruit =D It's a health company and the shakes are the best so adding fruit just makes it crazy good. It would be neat to be able to click on any of the fruit listed in the categories, for instance when it says cranberry and then lists the pairings it would be cool to be able to click on one of the pairings and get more in depth info on it. Like chocolate is savory and sweet and can be melted ect. Would have me on here for days looking at all the things this offers >_<
This is wonderful! May I suggest adding cinnamon to mango's pairings? While growing up in Uganda, we always made mango cobbler with cinnamon; it was somehow similar to peach cobbler and was so good.
Thanks for the great ideas!
Wow what a great list you've put together! I just came across your list while searching for ingredients that pair well with guava…may I suggest lime and coconut as a pairing? Thanks!
Thanks for this, i am playing around with pomegranates, basil and chocolate today….wanting to a do a simple little recipe for my newsletter..and came across this list thankyou so very much great work and lovely website
Shakti x
i LOVE vanilla have this great new guinea stuff and lavender is one of my all time faves i use it in raw chocolate, cooked cakes, raw balls.. with vanilla…and on its own, rosemary lavender and honey are great…for me at least
Thanks for the handy info! I used it just now to pair almonds with orange.
I also wanted to tell you that "Profiles" is misspelled on the tab title.
There is a book called The Flavor Bible that you should check out sometime.
This list is fantastic! I keep coming back to it while playing with jam flavors. Thank you!
You've given me so many ideas and saved me days (literally) of trial and error.
Fantastic resource, thank you!
thank you…..
Can you get some flavors that go with rosewater?
I just want to thank you for posting this, I've been working on creative flavour pairings for a baking competition I have coming up and this chart was something I referred to multiple times!
lychee goes well with star anise
hi, thank you for posting this. it's very handy. I already save it to my favorites ;) however, I'm looking for fruits that go well with mint and noticed that you don't have it listed. any suggestion pls other than strawberry?
Hi Amie Sue! Thank you for this list! I'm a barista who is always looking for new flavor combos for coffee and smoothies. Had a DELICIOUS banana, mango, and cinnamon smoothie this morning. Cinnamon helps reduce blood sugar so it's great in a sugary drink, for my body anyway. Thank you again. Have a great day! – Amanda
Hi Amie Sue,
Thanks for putting together this great chart! I'm giving your blog mention in my Tuesday Tidbits this week with a link and credit back to you, of course.
Love this!
Wow, this is a wonderful chart. Thank you so much!
What about lavender ?
Lychee pairs well with strawberries as well
I am a baker by trade and was looking for fruit pairings for my scones. I hit the jackpot with your list. Today I baked lime and toasted coconut scones and lemon ginger scones. What a hit! The possibilities are endless. Thank you!
This is such an excellent resource! I open it up pretty much every time I happen to need some flavour inspiration for a new dish. Thank you for putting this together :)
Thanks this was very helpful! What pairs with saffron though? I didn't see it mentioned. I've paired it with cumin and thyme, but what else?

Check out one of the coldest and throwdest out of SouthWest Louisiana...Its Poochie! HuhBruh! Recording since 2000 with a 2 man group, SouthernStyle, Poochie is back at again to prove once more why he is considered one of the nicest on the mic underground from out the South. With a sound like no other, Poochie definitely has his name, "ringing in the streets like a cell phone". The "SlightlyThrowedOff" artist from Vermilion Parish has done collaborations with numerous artist from Texas, California, Virginia, NYC, and much more! "I feel like this, if an artist can appreciate what we do underground Down South and respect the hustle, why wouldn't I wanna work with them? I appreciate music in all aspects and look forward to working with others that have the same opinion." With his latest mixtape "Slightly Throwed Off" The Mixtape Vol. 1 Hosted by Kid Groovie of R.M.E./A.T.T. doing really well locally, Poochie is planning on spreading his music more throughout the nation. Eventually with the help of his supporters and fans, nothing can stop where he is heading. And after asking him whats next, he replies..."After everyone gets nice and full off of eating steak and shrimp, I plan on trying to make a lot of differences in my city and surrounding areas. Activities for kids that can help them from getting sucked into the streets, putting money into city cleanup and education, etc. I just want to help protect the youth and help grow the city into something more of us can be proud of. Peace. Protect The Youth".

If Wikipedia were a real encyclopedia, it would be 1,908 volumes large [Image]
Posted By Ashraf On August 24, 2013 @ 5:00 AM In World Wide Web | 5 Comments
(Click above to enlarge.)
Take note by "real encyclopedia" I mean a traditional, printed encyclopedia like Britannica.
Wikipedia reader Tompw ran some calculations to try and see how many volumes it would take to print Wikipedia:
- This [2] shows 2,537 million words across 4.3 million articles (through July 2013), implying an average of 590 words per article.
- Same source shows 19.83 GB (=20,498,960 B) across 2,537 million words, implying 8.08 bytes/word. ASCII uses 1 byte/character which in turn implies 8.08 characters/word. However, this includes wikimarkup, and 5 char/word plus one for space is standard, so 6 characters/word will be assumed.
- There are currently 4,311,575 articles, which means 2,543,829,250 words, which means 15,262,975,500 characters.
- One volume: 25cm high, 5cm thick. 500 leaves, 2 pagefaces per leaf, two columns per pageface, 80 rows/column, 50 characters per row. So one volume = 8,000,000 characters, or 1,333,333 words, or 2,259.9 articles.
- Thus, the text of the English Wikipedia is currently equivalent to 1,907.9 volumes of the Encyclopædia Britannica.
- Sanity check: Encyclopædia Britannica has 44 million words across 32 volumes, or 1,375,000 words per volume. This would imply 1,850 volumes for WP.
These numbers obviously aren't 100% accurate, simply due to the large and ever-growing size of Wikipedia but they should give you a good idea of how large the website is. What surprised me the most about this that Wikipedia isn't that much larger than Britannica. In fact, it only recently became larger than Britannica.
