The Tablet Theory or the Wiseman Hypothesis, is the concept that the book of Genesis was written by the individuals with whom the text mostly concerned, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc.
The theory was presented by Percy J. Wiseman, who during a tour in Mesopotamia as an air commodore in the Royal Air Force, found an interest in studying ancient civilizations of the region. He visited a number of excavation sites and archeologists and collected cuneiform tablets and inscriptions while familiarizing himself with the writing conventions of the ancient Mesopotamians. He noted the correlation between the method of recording authorship in pre-Abraham clay tablets and the style of Genesis. Wiseman pointed out in his 1936 book that ancient tablets carried at the end the name of the scribe (or owner) as well as information on the author (or owner) and the date of the recording, much like the way in which newspaper reporters today provide that same information at the end of news articles. This pattern seemed to make sense of the outline of Genesis, which divides narratives with a statement on the central figure of the preceding text and then proceeds to list a series of generations to set up the following narrative. Despite his publication and his son's updated edition printed in 1936, the Tablet Theory has not received much attention over the JEDP Documentary Hypothesis.
Authorship and compilation
The following lists the authors and account transitions as proposed by Curt Sewell:
- Genesis 2:4-5 - God to Adam
- Genesis 5:1 - Adam to Noah
- Genesis 6:9 - Noah to Shem, Ham, and Japheth
- Genesis 10:1 - Shem, Ham, and Japheth to Shem
- Genesis 11:10 - Shem to Terah
- Genesis 11:27 - Terah to Isaac
- Genesis 25:12 - Isaac to Ishmael, through Isaac
- Genesis 25:19 - Isaac to Jacob
- Genesis 36:1 - Jacob to Esau, through Jacob
- Genesis 37:2 - Jacob to Jacob's sons
The "tablets," if written in this proposed time frame, would have been written in the language of the time and passed down from generation to generation. These were later all translated into Hebrew, granted that Hebrew was not the language of the antediluvian world. The tablets would likely have been separate pieces, and when put together in one account, possibly on papyrus or parchment, portions of certain colophons may have been dropped for lack of necessity, while the text itself was kept unchanged. There is clear textual evidence that Moses, when he compiled the accounts, put notes on updated place names after the original, out of date names. An example is in Genesis 23:19 :
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. Genesis 23:19 (KJV)
The theory also fits with the oft cited "double creation account." The opening recap of Genesis 2 can be seen as a shift of perspectives as a second author picks up the history, namely Adam.
Opposing views
Tablet theory and the Documentary Hypothesis
The Tablet Theory is in direct opposition to the Documentary Hypothesis (also called the JEDP theory) and its presupposition that the events were written down long after they had transpired, or that the earlier parts of Genesis are a complete myth. Proponents of higher criticism state that writing had not yet arisen in the time of the earlier parts of the book of Genesis, and it has been claimed that Genesis had not been compiled until the time of Israel's captivity in Babylon. However, such claims have no supporting archaeological evidence and rely almost entirely upon speculation, while the Tablet Theory is founded upon the known and verified style of ancient scribes.
It has been stated that the theory is contrary to the traditional view by both Christians and Jews that Moses wrote the book of Genesis, either from revelation from God or from oral tradition. It should be realized, however, that Moses would have translated the tablets from their original non-alphabetic script and non-Hebrew language into Hebrew, thus beginning the formation of the Biblical canon. The tablets would not have been written in Hebrew because the original language of Abraham and his ancestors was not Hebrew. See Gen. 31:46,47, where the language of Abraham's kinfolk in Haran was not the same as the language that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had learned in Canaan. The script of the tablets would not have been alphabetic because the earliest examples of alphabetic writing only go back to about the time of Moses. Over the years, several authors have conjectured that someone who knew both Egyptian and Hebrew was the inventor of the alphabet, because Egyptian hieroglyphs contain symbols for the consonants, but the Egyptians never realized they could write everything using just these symbols. Hebrew, like Egyptian, originally used only consonants, showing the likely Egyptian predecessors of the alphabet. Moses, who was "learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians" (Acts 7:22) is therefore a logical choice for the original inventor of the alphabet. If this was the case, then his translation of the tablets into the Hebrew alphabetic script, sometimes adding explanatory notes, was the means that the Holy Spirit used to start the formation of the Biblical canon. (Joseph is another candidate for the inventor of the alphabet.)
Moses was familiar with the use of colophons, and he used them in the books of Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy as summary lines. In Leviticus, for example, a colophonic summary appears at 14:32 and at the end of chapters 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 26, and 27. The last sentences in Leviticus and Numbers are colophons for the respective books. Although Moses would probably have written on parchment, not on tablets, he showed his familiarity with the earlier tablets by occasionally using their colophonic structure in the records he made of his own time.
Interesting consequences of the Tablet Theory
Several insights are gained into the structure of Genesis if the Tablet theory is true. Some of these are listed here.
- It means that from the beginning, the accounts of Scripture were usually written by eyewitnesses. An exception is the toledoth of Terah (Genesis 11:10b to 11:27a), which consists entirely of a genealogical list that Terah passed on from his ancestors. Toledoth is the Hebrew word that is translated "generations" in the KJV. A better translation that shows its meaning in these first chapters of Genesis is "histories" or "sacred history" (the word is plural in Hebrew).
- It explains why there are two accounts of creation, the first going from Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:4a, and the second from there to the end of chapter 2. The first account deals with the creation of the universe from God's perspective. Although man is the crown of that creation, the first chapter discusses first the heavenly bodies and the plant and animal kingdoms that were created before the creation of man. The second account is written more from man's perspective, starting with man in the garden, and then the description of the garden and the surrounding geography.
- Consistent with this idea, the second chapter of Genesis deals with things that Adam would have known about from his own experience. In order to make clear to the modern reader the ancient literary convention being followed in the first 36 chapters of Genesis, Genesis 5:1 should be translated "This concludes the book of the histories (sepher toledoth) of Adam . . ."
- Genesis chapter 1, however, deals with the creation of the entire universe, to which man was not an eyewitness. The colophon for this section does not name any human author. In place of such a name there is provided the name of God: " . . . when the Lord God created the heavens and the earth." The Lord God here provides a record of things to which man could not have been an eyewitness, and, in a sense, signs his own name to this first toledoth (sacred history).
- The first toledoth (Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a), in the original Hebrew, is written in extremely simple language. There are only about 90 basic word-forms in the chapter when we take into account verbal and noun forms of the same root. Examples of this are or for 'a light' in Gen. 1:14, 15, 16 and the verbal form or (give light) and participle maor, 'light-giver' in these same verses. There is not a name yet for the sun and the moon; they are simply "the big light" and "the small light" (Genesis 1:16). The repetitive structure of the accounts for the various days also produces an easily understood pattern. It has been proposed that the simple style of this chapter in dealing with profound concepts about the creation reflects a very early time in man's history, when God was teaching man how to read.
- A theological point in this regard is that man, ever since Adam and Eve, always had a written revelation to which he was held accountable. The translation of these tablets into Hebrew by Moses began the formation of the Biblical canon.
- The colophonic structure (each of the toledoth ends with a catch-line naming the history and its author or owner) explains why Genesis 11:26 states that Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Terah, only to have this information repeated in the next verse. The toledoth of Terah finishes in Genesis 11:27a with the phrase "this concludes the toledoth (sacred history) of Terah," after which this catch-line is repeated at the beginning of the next toledoth. Wiseman points out that the repetition of a catch-line is another distinguishing feature of this early style of writing.
- It explains why Genesis 37:1a ("this concludes the histories of Jacob") is not followed by a list of the genealogy or generations of Jacob, as would be expected from the traditional translation "These are the generations of Jacob." The same is true of Genesis 2:4a, where the translation "the generations of the heavens and the earth" would lead us to expect that what follows should be a list of the descendants of the heavens and the earth.
- It explains why Moses, who translated these tablets into Hebrew, was familiar enough with the colophonic structure that he used colophons extensively in his own writing (see prior section).
- The idea that Scripture, from the very first chapter of Genesis, was usually written by eye-witnesses (or taken from official and reliable records, as was the case for the chronological data of the kingdom period) sheds an interesting light on Genesis 7:20. The authors of this toledoth were, according to the Tablet Theory, the three sons of Noah (Genesis 10:1a). Their remark that the mountains were covered to a depth of fifteen cubits (about 26 feet, using the old cubit of 21 inches) reflects what they experienced during the months in which the Ark was afloat. They knew that no land was seen. They also knew that at no time before the final appearance of the mountains did the bottom of their vessel touch anything. They therefore concluded that all land must have been submerged to at least the depth of the draft of the Ark. Fifteen cubits or 26 feet is a reasonable measure for the draft of a ship the size of the Ark (525 feet long and 52 feet high according to the old cubit). Consequently, if this idea is true, Genesis 7:20 provides a measure of the amount of the ship's hull that was under the waterline; it was half the ship's total height.
- According to the Tablet Theory, the account of the Flood was written by eyewitnesses, not by some late-date editor or story-teller who was putting together disparate accounts from the 'J' and 'P' sources, as maintained by scholars with an anti-supernaturalistic bias. Recent scholarship has shown that the Flood account has an artistic unity that is reflected in its remarkable chiastic structure, as explained in the article on chiasmus. No adequate explanation of the literary unity of the Flood account has ever been given by advocates of the Documentary Hypothesis, but it is explained completely by the Tablet Theory, as well as by a proper doctrine of the inspiration of all Scripture. See the chiasmus article for more details.

The Atrocity Exhibition (2000)
Genre: Drama | Horror
Director: Jonathan Weiss
Country: USA
Language: English
Subtitles: none
Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1
Length: 102mn
File: Dvdrip Xvid Avi - 640x480 - 25fps - 1.33gb
THE ATROCITY EXHIBITION is a faithful adaptation of the 1970 novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard (author of EMPIRE OF THE SUN and CRASH). Jonathan Weiss' filmed adaptation concerns a doctor in a mental research institution who goes insane at the spectacle of the horrors of the end of the twentieth century, especially those communicated through modern media and broadcasting. The film makes extensive use of rare archival footage acquired from such varied sources as the Nuclear Defense Agency, the Car Crash Analysis Library, and the Zapruder Estate. Weiss incorporates this footage into the narrative, weaving fact and fiction to create a unique film experience.
Ballard, whose other works were crafted into films by Steven Spielberg and David Cronenberg, writes of Weiss' film: "What a superb adaptation it is - it takes the logic of the book and translates it almost seamlessly into a very different medium...a ceaseless flow of atmospheric locations."
While definitely not for everyone, this movie effectively captures J.G. Ballard's difficult novel of the same name. More visual than literal, The Atrocity Exhibition forces the viewer to re-think the art of film and of story telling. It effectively communicates in a new language that caused some who saw it to declare that it 'changed their lives'. It changed mine as well, although I'm not exactly sure in what way. And while I can't say that I completely 'got ' the story, the story that I got was fascinating and one that I can't forget. I've since read the book and that certainly helped, but it wasn't necessary to enjoy the film. This film stands as one of my favorites alongside the best works of Kubrick, the Coen brothers and Hitchcock.

The Secret Garden palette was created by Western Sky Knits exclusively for Little Skein. The palette evokes the riotous colors of an English cottage garden -- green ivy, exuberant pink hollyhocks, soft grey-brown garden walls, gentle pink vintage roses, and intense blue-purple delphiniums.
The yarn base is Western Sky Knits' Magnolia Sock, which is a fingering weight yarn that leans ever so slightly toward the sportweight end of the spectrum. With cashmere blended with soft merino wool, it's incomparably soft and a little bit slinky. The yarn is a gently spun 4-ply, which asks knitters to be careful when cabling, so as not to split the strands. The gentle twist means that your finished shawl or garment will be extra soft to the touch.
Magnolia Sock comes in skeins of:- 115 grams (4 ounces)
Because several of the colors are so very saturated, you should expect a bit of color release when blocking, particularly if you use a wool wash (which, for some reason, tends to encourage color release in the water).
Sample a single skein, choose a pair for a second Secret Garden shawl (and we'll do our best to send you a well-matched set), or choose a collectors' set with five skeins, one of each colorway, and receive one of them free.
The first line of each product listing says whether the item is ready-to-ship or a preorder.
Ready-to-ship items are just that – already made and on hand. If your order includes only ready-to-ship items, it will be on its way to you within 2 to 3 business days.
Preorders for nearly all items in the Secret Garden collection can be placed anytime between September 19 and November 1. Preorders ship approximately 4 weeks after your order date.
I am delighted to introduce you to the artists involved in the Secret Garden kit:
Alana Dakos of Never Not Knitting designed this beautiful shawl exclusively for Little Skein. The shawl is the centerpiece of the Secret Garden kit and available only as part of a Little Skein kit until the end of October, when it will become available as an individual pattern on Ravelry.
Western Sky Knits created the yarn and color palette for the kit, drawing inspiration from traditional English cottage gardens which are a riot of greens, pinks, blues, and purples.
Melissa Jean Designs created an original and exclusive button closure for the Secret Garden shawl, echoing the lovely color palette on a hand-cut ceramic button in leaf form.
Leslie Wind, jewelry artist and knitter, created an utterly unique shawl pin closure for the Secret Garden shawl, perfectly picking up the leaf design in hand-hammered sterling silver or bronze. See Leslie's other shawl pins and tools for knitters at her online shop.
Michal Gal-Marko, an Israeli-based artist, adapted her original artwork to create the base illustrations used in the fabric design for my Secret Garden kit. Her girl and fox motif perfectly captures the wonder and friendship of The Secret Garden. View her gorgeous collection of stationery and home products at her online shop.
Barruntando ceramics studio in Aviles, Spain created the Bloom yarn bowl for the collection in their distinctive and delicate style. See their other handmade ceramic creations at their online shop.
Little Skein in the Big Wool. I curated the kit, as well as designing many of the items inside it. I created the fabric, working with Michal's gorgeous illustrations and supplementing them with watercolor graphics, as well as the stitch markers, zipper pulls, and embroidery supply kits.

Rock DJ part 2: Free is better than a cover charge
Social media and the web in general is full of debate over pay walls, charges and monetisation strategies. How do we continue to acquire and grow our communities while equally maximising any potential income? This is not a new problem. I first found myself in the middle of such a dilemma back in my nightclub days and it has coloured my opinion on charging for content ever since.
When we first started running The Pit out of DJs Nightspot in Gosford, it was free entry. Thursday nights had always been notoriously quiet in Gosford - crikey, even most weekends resembled a ghost town - so there were no high expectations and we were on a trial.
The club was packed. That first year was the best we ever saw in five years of running The Pit and it became the place to be every Thursday night. We weren't the only free venue, but we were the only one that provided that particular music. Free just helped the new night grow and spread that much quicker.
After a year or so, the manager wanted a change. He had noticed that some were coming every week but weren't buying drinks. He wasn't making any money off some of the crowd that came through the door and they were enjoying dancing to a DJ he still had to pay. Remember, he's never made so much money off Thursday nights before, but the thought of some people getting a free ride was too much.
So the manager added a door charge. Two dollars at first, it had grown to five dollars by the end. It might not seem like much, but it was enough to see the crowd start to drift away. Those who would casually come in on a Thursday for a free bit of fun - cashless students and bear-footed hippies - no longer came. And so their friends who had been buying drinks didn't either. Less people in the club meant less atmosphere and buzz meant less people came back every week and less new people discovered the club.
The difference wasn't huge and it wasn't overnight, but the door charge was the clear before-and-after point that marked the downturn. As the crowd declined the door charge increased to offset the difference and eventually the night was finished.
Placing any obstacle to admission, no matter how trivial, can dramatically reduce numbers. David Meerman Scott talks frequently in books and talks of how Mailer Mailer multiplied downloads of their ebook - The Email Marketing Metrics Report - twenty times, merely by removing the need to enter an email address. That's right, even entering an email address - significantly less hassle than paying two dollars - is enough to prevent people from accessing your content.
The Mailer Mailer website is now listed at number one in Google for the valuable keyword phrase email marketing metrics, their industry. Now, you can't tell me there's no financial return on being the top listing in Google for your industry.
Free is the greatest acquisition tool you can have. Even if you can't convert a return out of every crowd member you acquire this way, chances are you're still making more than if you charged a couple of bucks at the door.

The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser
Posted by Krystal Larson at 12:34 AM Wednesday, January 11, 2017
Amy Lennox doesn't know quite what to expect when she and her mother pick up and leave Germany for Scotland, heading to her mother's childhood home of Lennox House on the island of Stormsay.
Amy's grandmother, Lady Mairead, insists that Amy must read while she resides at Lennox House—but not in the usual way. It turns out that Amy is a book jumper, able to leap into a story and interact with the world inside. As thrilling as Amy's new power is, it also brings danger: someone is stealing from the books she visits, and that person may be after her life. Teaming up with fellow book jumper Will, Amy vows to get to the bottom of the thefts—at whatever cost.
Goodreads Summary
Amy Lennox, the main character, literally lives my dreams. When her mother and her head back to where her mom's family resides, she discovers that she has the ability to jump into a story and watch the action unfold (even talk to the characters!). As Amy becomes more and more comfortable with her jumping abilities a dangerous presence is slowly leaching the life from the books and damaging them. Amy must find who or what is causing all the harm in her beloved book world.
Amy's character is so-so. I like her for her bookish ways, but I didn't like how she seemed to have no confidence in herself. I wish she was a little less stereotypical mousy. Will and Betsy are brother and sister and book jumpers, as well. Will is a little stand-offish and Betsy is stuck up. The pair act slightly as antagonists. I wish the characters were a little more fleshed out and likable. The plot was fast-paced and the book could easily be finished in less than a day if the reader is as excited about the story line as I was. I liked the setting and the descriptive writing style of the author. Teens/young adults/adults will find this book an absolute joy to read.

My objective is simple - equip practitioners (sales, technical sales, consultants, tool administrators, operations, development, support staff) around the world with tools, techniques and skills required to enable them to be successful with their BSM journey. My aim is to provide a solid foundation of content that can become an initial starting point for growth, adaptation and enhancement by geography, industry and company. My hope is that through collaboration others will participate, share their opinions, develop portions of the methodology and share their successes (or challenges/opportunities) from their experiences using this or similar.

I'm going to try to cross post much of this work both on my personal blog as well as this new developerWorks wiki platform. I feel I have much broader reach from my personal blog and expect more collaboration opportunity can be initiated there. I think my approach will be that key sections will become posts and/or pages on that blog so additional content and comments can be captured. The wiki platform allows anyone to contribute as well - regardless of being an IBM customer or not.

The wiki is focused on the sum of all the parts leading towards a business and technology centric Business Service Management solution and associated scenarios and use cases which provides measurable value. This wiki isn't a deep dive into any one product, application or technology area specifically as each of those generally has vendor community resources already. This wiki will strive to be about how those products, applications and enabling technologies come together within a very specific business aligned, value oriented BSM Solution context.

This image depicts the direction I envision taking this as my time and the community's participation permits. Over time the wiki will be enriched with content for these key boxes and others where needed or contributed by the community. I encourage you to play an active role in the development and maintenance of this wiki as ultimately it will become your resource to adopt and improve over time.

The initial wiki area under development is the BSM Maturity Model and the BSM Solution Workshop. While the BSM Maturity Model isn't depicted explicitly in the picture below, it's an inherent component in many of these main boxes. You must understand where you are so you can plan on where you're going along your BSM journey.

As usual, I make myself very available and accessible to those who are committed to BSM's success in any environment, industry or geography. Email is best to begin an initial dialogue.

7. Vista Vapor E-Liquid
Vista Vapor is number four on our list, but we only recently tried their e-juice for the first time. It's that good. We loved it because they have a huge selection (160 flavors), VERY reasonable prices ($4.99 for a 17 mL bottle) and a lot of great customization options. With each bottle you order, you can customize the nicotine content (like with almost every vendor), but you can also add optional "flavor shots" to really personalize your order. Vista Vapor is a fantastic brand and we recommend them as our top budget option.
8. Mt. Baker Vapor
Mt Baker Vapor is one of the oldest e-liquid companies on our top ten list. They've been around forever and are known for being one of the top American e-juice manufacturers. They have 158 flavors, most of which only cost $4.99 for a 15 mL bottle. That's a great price. Additionally, they have fantastic customer service and will usually get your order shipped out within 24 hours. If you want a brand that you can trust and that's been around a while, Mt Baker Vapor is where it's at.
9. ZampleBox E-juice Subscription
For those of you who plans to spend as less time as possible on ordering new juices every month, the market offers an excellent solution — the e-juice subscription services. We have tested most of what e-juice industry has to offer, and our winner in this particular category is ZampleBox subscription. They offer different e-liquids delivered to you on a monthly basis and allow you to save your money and time, as well as try lots of different flavors.
10. Henley Vape
Henley Vape offers everything vaper's heart could ever want. It's has a huge fan base, as well as some of the nicest vape stores in New York. They offer great fruitty and dessert e-juice blends, that we have really enjoyed, as well as some advanced vapes you can also check out on their site.
11. Breazy Vape
We have stumbled upon Breazy only recently and were shocked with the variety of products they have in stock. You can find literally everything on their site, starting from traditional fruit and tobacco e-juices to rich cereal and (!) milk flavors. If you choose Breazy, we recommend you try the Dewwy Boba flavor. They have recently reduced price, and now you can get 30ml for $21.99.
12. Virgin Vapor
Virgin Vapor is a solid brand that produces all organic e-liquid. The one issue is that they are a bit pricey. They are charging about $11.50 for a 15 mL bottle. Most of their flavors are quite good, but the price may drive some people away. Organic e-liquid is a bit of a strange topic, because it's hard to call something organic that has nicotine and propylene glycol in it. Virgin Vapor has some great sampler options for those that want to try out their flavors without spending a lot of money.
Our monthly roundup continues to get more exciting each month. We finally got to test what some are saying is the best e-liquid brand on the market today. That's obviously a bold claim, but when you see what this brand brings to the table, you'll want to try it out right away.
The brand is called V2, you may have heard of them. They've become enormously popular in recent months. We finally got a chance to taste some of their custom made e-juice and, well, it was pretty dang good.
V2 is relatively new to the e-liquid market, but they've already revolutionized it and become one of the top e-juice vendors in the US.
Their huge selection of pre-made e-juices is fantastic. They have a vast library of over 100 flavors that have been proven delicious, so if you don't feel like mixing your own, you've still got plenty of options. We've tried about 12 of their flavors, from "V2 Red" to "Cola" and "Peppermint", and they are top notch.
This is the best e-liquid brand on the scene right now, there's no doubt about that.
As a smoker, you know how important tobacco is to the experience. Without it, there would be no experience. Essentially, e-liquid and e-juice are to electronic cigarettes what tobacco is to cigarettes. They create the smoke (vapor) and contain the nicotine. So let's get right down to it and look at how e-liquid works, whether it's safe, and how you can use it to enhance your vaping experience.
Ingredients Found in Vape Juices
The first question anyone has about e-liquid is, "What's in that stuff?" And that's understandable because not many people know anything about it. It's brand new, and it just seems a little strange to be vaporizing a liquid with nicotine in it. But we're going to break it down and show how it's that much better than smoking tobacco.
Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin: The Base of eJuice
One of the best advantages to smoking electronic cigarettes is the fact that you are exposing your body to far, far fewer toxins and carcinogens than if you were smoking processed tobacco. E-juice typically has only four ingredients: Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerin (VG) (most juices these days use a combination of the two), the flavoring, distilled water and nicotine (optional).I know it is hard to believe, especially when you consider the thousands upon thousands of ingredients in tobacco, but it's true. Many people worry about the vaporization of the PG and VG, but both are commonly used in pharmaceuticals, makeup, food preservatives, and much more. They may not be entirely safe, but we can be almost certain that they're far safer than the alternative. Let's look into each of these ingredients.
Propylene Glycol
Many anti-vapor critics have said that propylene glycol is used as the antifreeze, and said that e-cig users are basically inhaling antifreeze. If they had just done a quick google search on the subject, they would see why that's not true at all.
PG used as anti-freeze is called "industrial grade" and is not pure Propylene Glycol. The PG used in e-liquids is called USP Propylene Glycol, and it is pharmaceutical grade, 99.9% pure. We will have a more detailed article on the safety of propylene glycol, but all you need to know now is the FDA's statement on the topic:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified propylene glycol as an additive that is "generally recognized as safe" for use in food. It is used to absorb extra water and maintain moisture in certain medicines, cosmetics, or food products.
– Quote courtesy of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Abuse Registry
Regarding how it affects your e-cig use (vaping), PG typically causes dry mouth and doesn't create massive clouds of vapor; however it is used because it carries flavors better.
Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable Glycerin is very similar to Propylene Glycol regarding safety. It's non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, and studies have shown that whether you ingest it or inhale it, it has no harmful effect on the lungs or any part of your body. We'll talk more about the details in further posts, but it would appear that Vegetable Glycerin is perfectly safe for inhalation.
In terms of how it affects your e-cig use, well vegetable glycerin typically creates larger clouds of vapor but does not carry flavor as well. This is why many juice makers will mix PG and VG in different percentages to find the right combination of flavor and vapor production. Also, some people have allergies to propylene glycol while vegetable glycerin is hypoallergenic.
Nicotine: The Source of It All
Nicotine is the reason behind everything. It's the substance in tobacco that brought us here and the ingredient in e-liquid that keeps us here. But there's a difference between the two worlds. Mainly, nicotine content isn't measured or used in the tobacco cigarette market at all. You don't know how much nicotine you're getting per cigarette.
But in the vaping world, it is highly measured and highly customizable. Nicotine levels will vary with manufacturer, but for the most part, they are pretty standard. They will either be marked as mg/mL or %. Here are the typical strengths you will find:
- 0 mg/ml (0.0%) – For those who quit smoking but still have an oral fixation for a cigarette
- 6 mg/ml (0.6%) -Sometimes marked as 0.6% . A little below what could be compared to a light cigarette
- 12 mg/ml (1.2%) – Sometimes marked as 1.2%. This is level is typically favored by those who used to smoke light cigarettes
- 18 mg/ml (1.8%) – This can be considered an average level, for regular smokers and vapers who prefer some nicotine
- 24 mg/ml (2.4%) – A bit on the high side and preferred by people considered heavy smokers
- 36 mg/ml (3.6%) – For those who really want a lot of nicotine, not recommended unless you were a chain smoker
Looking at the nicotine levels above should give you an idea of what your choices will be when picking up your e-liquid. If you don't feel like e-cigarettes are helping with switching over completely, think about upping the strength. If you feel dizzy when you use it or any other symptoms, we'd recommend checking with your doctor and definitely going to a lower strength.
Many who aren't familiar with electronic cigarettes don't know how to get started with refillable tanks and e-juice. They just know that some e-cigarettes they've seen have tanks with that are filled with liquid, and they seem to be much more satisfying than the disposable from the corner store.
E-Cigarette Liquid Flavoring
The flavoring used in e-cigarettes is a concentrate that is actually made by some manufacturers of concentrated flavors used for homemade candy. The flavoring comes in either alcohol-based extract or oil based. We don't know much about the inhalation of flavoring but there is so little used in e-liquid, and no studies have reported any issues, so it appears to be on the safe side.
In terms of what this means for flavor options, it basically makes them unlimited. Juice makers can combine any amounts of the concentrate and alter the levels of PG and VG to really take flavor customization to a whole new level. Which is why you see so many flavors on the market today.
For more details you can also check out the detailed e-liquid guide and reviews of e-juice brands and flavors at Quitday.org — they also support vaping as we do and often publishing some good reviews and articles.
E-Liquid and Safety
There have as of yet been no studies completed to show what the short or long term effects of smoking e-cigarettes might be. For the most part however, common sense would dictate that it is much safer than traditional tobacco smoking. Consider for a moment the ingredients of a tobacco cigarette. There are over 400 different chemicals and additives found in a typical cigarette. So when you smoke a cigarette, you are putting all of those things into your body, and it HAS been proven to be dangerous.
With electronic cigarettes and the e-liquid, they use there are only four ingredients as compared to the over 400 of a tobacco cigarette. In addition to that huge difference in numbers, the 4 are all safe and have been proven as such. Well, that is, with the exception of the nicotine. Regardless, when you compare the two options, it is clear to see that the electronic cigarette and the e-liquid is much, much safer than the alternative. Common sense is something that by definition we should all have in abundance, so if I am using mine, I would have to say that the e-liquid is the safer, cleaner, and tastier of the two. If people aren't going to quit smoking cigarettes, then why not just switch to something that is probably much safer?
Steeping your E-Juice
Steeping e-liquid may sound complicated, but in all actuality, it is not. New vapers may have heard the term thrown during vape meets while experienced users know its value through and through.
At its most basic, steeping is when e-juices stored with caps open and nozzles removed to allow air to get in. Aside from getting aerated, this also allows the ingredients to settle fully. Whenever we have a batch of e-liquids, we always make sure to remove all caps and nozzles and store them in a cool, dry place for a couple of days.
By steeping the e-juice, the ingredients inside are given time to settle and interact with each other, resulting in a more flavorful product. There are times when new e-juice may seem awful at first, but after it is steeped, it may taste wholly different. Whenever you find a flavor not quite to your liking, store it for a few days and try again, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Some e-liquids get its full flavor after a few hours while others may take several days. If you are serious about getting the most out of your e-juice, some trial and error is required. It is important to note that some manufacturers pre-steep their product, so it is ready to vape in all its flavorful glory once it is in vapers' hands.
When you decide to start steeping your e-juice, be sure to store it in a cool, dry, and safe place. Somewhere where kids or pets won't get any access. The last thing you would want is to have all your e-liquid spilled and ruined by accident.
While steeping is not at all required, it does improve the overall vaping experience. If you have the time to do so, we suggest you go ahead. If not, you don't lose much save missing out on your e-liquid's full flavor potential. If you'd like to start vaping your e-liquid of choice right after you receive it, we recommend you to check out our top brands. All of them, like MigVapor, for example, sell the pre-steeped vape juices to make sure you get the best vaping experience without any hassle.
How Our E-Juice Rating System Works
Everybody is familiar with the various rating systems that are used by almost everybody these days. Our rating system will likely be similar to one that you have seen before. Our system takes into account the various factors that make a great e-liquid and an e-liquid supplier. Some factors are weighted a bit more heavily than the others, but that reflects the importance of that category towards the ultimate enjoyment of the product. Using the categories listed above, each is worth a certain number of points. The highest total that can be achieved is 100, and that would then equal a perfect score. The weighting and point values are as follows:
- Selection – 10pts.
- Prices – 15pts.
- Quality – 25pts.
- Shipping – 10pts.
- Website – 15pts.
- Service – 25pts
As always, we use our experience with e-juice to gauge who should be considered. Then we take into account any changes or added flavors, as well as price increases or decreases. Our past five winners were all fairly close in rating score, which In my opinion that tells me that the system we've developed is working well for its first go-round.
Every part of an e-cigarette is necessary, but the juice is the element that provides most of the vapor feel, throat hit, and especially the flavor. Check out our guide to the ingredients in e-liquid to learn more about the technical stuff. This page is simply about showing you what's out there and helping you find the best e-juice vendor for your taste buds.
So who makes the best e-liquid? That is a difficult question to answer, because it all depends on personal taste. We do our best to provide quality e-liquid reviews, but when we can't get our hands on every brand, ! I for one would like to know what my peers think about various brands and flavors. As a matter of fact, I prefer getting information from this type of source. A source that is hundreds or thousands of opinions strong. A source that has tried more flavors and brands in a couple weeks than I could in a lifetime! This is valuable information we are getting from this enormous source we call our community, and we want to share the information with you.
So, from now on, every month we will review, prod, shake, vape, crush, and validate all the known e-liquids known to man! …and woman! We will talk to, read, email, write, and otherwise politely annoy every major and non-major company, supplier, manufacturer, and sales rep for information that they might share with us, so that we might share it with YOU! We will take all this valuable information and organize it, study it, review it, criticize it, and just squeeze every little bit of knowledge we can from it. Then we will put all of that "stuff" down for you in a quick and easy, simple to read page of goodies. So check it out! This is the first Best E-Liquid and the Best E-Liquid Supplier of the month.
Our Process of E-Juice Evaluation
Taking on a project like this can make you acutely aware of all the variety that is out there. With all the different choices available we had to make sure that we took everything into account when rating e-liquids. There are many ranking systems out there that do no justice to what they are reviewing. This is usually the case when those doing the reviewing and testing know absolutely nothing about the product they are ranking.
As an avid electronic cigarette user I can tell you that one e-liquid is not the same as the next. I can also tell you that there are a variety of factors that determine which is better. This only comes from experience, and it is that experience that will give you a solid review and ranking. We will take all of the various factors into account when looking at the various liquids.
The Ground Rules for Our Reviews
That being said, the first thing we must do is lay out the ground rules. What exactly are we looking at and how do we come to the determination that e-juice A is better than e-juice B? It is really simple actually if you think about what e-juice is. There are three types of e-liquid based on what they are made from. There is the Propylene Glycol (PG) and there is the Vegetable Glycerin, and finally the mixed which is a combination of the two (PG/VG).
Aside from what the product is made from you also have the flavors. I had already said that we will not be ranking flavors because that is way too subjective. However, keep in mind that the flavoring used to make e-liquid brand A might be different than what is used in e-liquid brand B. While we might not know what is being used in each e-liquid, we can definitely say that Brand A Peach taste better and has a much fuller flavor than Brand B Peach.
Now for the rating system itself. There is a lot of e-liquid suppliers out there today. The internet is filled with them. Even though this is the case, there is no overall database of every company that sells or manufactures this product. So what we will do is create our own database that is used for this monthly ranking. However, because of time and space constraints and just for the readers overall enjoyment we will only write about a few at a time. The rest will just remain on the database awaiting their time in the spotlight.
We will rate the e-juices and the suppliers of e-juices as follows:
Overall E-Liquid Selection
Do they have a large selection of flavors? Do they offer the same flavors in both PG and VG? Do they offer 0mg strength juice for those who have quit using the addictive substance?
Prices Compared to Market
Are they in line with other suppliers? Do they overcharge for the same products? What about their shipping charges? Do they offer free shipping or other promotional offers?
Quality of the E-Juice Itself
Is the product they advertise what you feel you received? Is there a full flavor, what about the vapor cloud? Are the bottles nice? Do they fill tanks and carts easily? Do they come with the necessary tools for filling?
Is shipping fast? Do they get the order out the door the same day? How is the packaging, do they protect the product in shipping? We all hate getting our vape mail late, so this is a fairly important factor.
Is the site easy to understand and find what you need? Is the process quick and seamless from order selection to purchase? Most importantly, do they offer a "sort by rating" option when looking at juices? However, we can say we've ordered some delicious juice from atrocious looking websites, so this isn't a be-all, end-all category.
Do they respond to emails when you send them? Are they courteous and polite, do they treat the customer properly? Do they even offer customer service?
As you can see there are quite a few categories that the e-liquid supplier will be rated on. Many of these factors are common sense, but until you see it on the screen with a umber behind it you might not have thought about it. We review all these areas of the process so that when you decide to use one of the suppliers that we reviewed you know what to expect.

CrossFit enthusiasts don't have to worry about being "boxed" in at the newest Boston center for the popular strength and conditioning program.
CrossFit Boston is opening a new 20,000-square-foot "box" — CrossFit speak for a gym — in the Financial District on Monday that's said to be the largest in the Northeast.
The underground location at 133 Federal St. will be the second for the 7-year-old CrossFit Boston, which will open a third outpost in a former North End fire station in January.

When Chew makes its move from comics to animated film, David Tennant will be voicing the character of Mason Savoy, a mentor to the lead character. The role was intended for Robin Williams before his tragic passing last year.
For the uninitiated, the official synopsis for the 2009 comic book series notes:
Tony Chu is a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. It`s a dirty job, and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice. And if that wasn't bad enough, the government has figured out Tony Chu`s secret. They have plans for him… whether he likes it or not.
Other actors lending their voice talents to the project include Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead) and Felicia Day (The Guild). It will be directed by Jeff Krelitz who also directed the animated series, Torchwood: Web of Lies.

HTTP messages are simple, line-oriented sequences of characters. Because they are plain text, not binary, they are easy for humans to read and write.
HTTP messages sent from web clients to web servers are called request messages. Messages from servers to clients are called response messages. There are no other kinds of HTTP messages. The formats of HTTP request and response messages are very similar.
HTTP messages consist of three parts:
Start line
The first line of the message is the start line, indicating what to do for a request or what happened for a response.
Header fields
Zero or more header fields follow the start line. Each header field consists of a name and a value, separated by a colon (:) for easy parsing. The headers end with a blank line. Adding a header field is as easy as adding another line.
After the blank line is an optional message body containing any kind of data. Request bodies carry data to the web server; response bodies carry data back to the client. Unlike the start lines and headers, which are textual and structured, the body can contain arbitrary binary data (e.g., images, videos, audio tracks, software applications).

Playoff Prospectus
Division Series, Day Five
Condiments don't get initials, the Padres won't get a Game Four, and there is even a possibility that the bells may toll no more at PETCO Park. And aren't we supposed to be witnessing a league with a new level of parity? With one more Astros victory, we will have the first NLCS rematch since 1992, something that will make talk of parity hard to swallow.

Very likable doctor
I have never met a more caring and competent doctor as this one. His bedside manner makes you feel special. He got me started on curing my Hep. C virus. Without his help I would not have lasted 5 years. He tells it like it is and if you don't listen to him you have no one to blame except yourself. Hep. C is curable you just have to make some life style changes. Drinking alcohol when you have Hep C is like throwing gasoline on a fire. Hep C loves alcohol it make the virus spread faster. I also am a firm believer in MILK THISTLE it is the lean cuisine for your liver. Take a few of these everyday with your vitamins and your liver will love you for it.

Deep within the holy sanctuaries of the gods are those who perform daily rites meant to demonstrate ones utmost devotion and love for their beloved deity. Many of these are but lay devotees or trained acolytes seeking the favor and blessings of their god. However, there are those blessed few touched by the hand of their god to demonstrate their devotion through ritualistic dance and song. The ritual dances of the temple dancer are special prayers of honor and glory to her deity. Through these performances, the temple dancer is blessed with greater divine power, special weapon training, and supernatural abilities for the soul purpose of enhancing her natural grace and ability to perform. She can use her dances in a variety of ways–from influencing those around her and aiding her allies, to bolstering her skills in battle against common foes on her god's behalf. Those who come within close proximity of a temple dancer engaged in her ritual performances are in danger of harm from the wall of whirling limbs or razor sharp steel that she employs. (Orginal Concept by Oceanshieldwolf)
Primary Class: Cleric.
Secondary Class: Bard.
Alignment: Any.
Hit Dice: d8.
Bonus Skills and Ranks: The temple dancer may select three bard skills to add to her class skills in addition to the normal cleric class skills, one of which must be Perform. The temple dancer gains a number of ranks at each level equal to 4 + Int modifier.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The temple dancer is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the temple sword, and her deity's favored weapon (if it's a melee weapon). The temple dancer is proficient with light armor, but not with shields.
Spellcasting: The temple dancer casts divine spells drawn from the cleric and bard spell lists. A temple dancer relies less on spells than other clerics, and can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. However, her alignment may restrict her from casting spells opposed to her moral and ethical beliefs. The temple dance uses the bard spell progression table for her daily allotment of spells and known spells. She also receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score. The temple dancer otherwise learns and casts spells as a bard equal to her temple dancer level.
Dance of Devotion (Ex): At 1st level, whenever the temple dancer wields a temple sword or her deity's favored weapon, she can use her Charisma modifier instead of her Strength modifier on melee attack and damage rolls. She also treats any favored melee (not ranged) weapon as a one-handed weapon of its type (bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing) when qualifying for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon. The weapon must be sized appropriately for a creature of the temple dancer's size. A temple dancer cannot use this ability if she is carrying a weapon that is not a temple sword, or her deity's favored weapon.
Domain: This is exactly like the cleric's domains ability except that the temple dancer may select only one domain. This domain must be selected from one of those granted by the temple dancer's deity, or the new Cadence domain, which supersede any domains the temple dancer's deity normally grants access to.
Orisons: A temple dancer learns a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Temple Dancer Spells Known under "Spells Known." These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Temple Knowledge (Ex): At 1st level, a temple dancer gains the bard's bardic knowledge ability, except that she adds half her temple dancer level (minimum 1) to only Knowledge (history), Knowledge (nobility), Knowledge (religion), and Perform (dance) skills checks, and can make these skill checks untrained. This ability and temple training replace spontaneous casting.
Temple Training: A temple dancer relies on freedom of motion to cast spells and perform her duties. As such, her special training allows her to ignore the use of insignificant material components. Beginning at 1st level, the temple dancer gains the Eschew Materials as a bonus feat. However, as the temple dancer gains further training in the sacred ways of the temple, she can eschew more expensive material components. The cost of material components that the temple dancer can eschew increases to 10 gp or less at 6th level, 50 gp or less at 11th level, 100 gp or less at 16th level, and 250 gp or less at 20th level.
Temple Performance: At 2nd level, the temple dancer gains the bard's bardic performance ability, but is restricted to Perform (act), Perform (dance), Perform (sing), and Perform (percussion) to create magical effects. This ability and all related performances replace channel energy and the cleric's second domain.
Distraction (Su): At 2nd level, the temple dancer gains the bard's distraction performance.
Fascinate (Su): At 2nd level, the temple dancer gains the bard's fascinate performance.
Pavane (Su): At 2nd level, the temple dancer can use her performance to enact a slow dance that unleashes a wave of divine energy in a 30-foot radius. This wave of divine energy functions like a cleric's channel energy ability, except that the temple dancer deals or heals 1d6 points of damage, plus an additional 1d6 points of damage every four levels after 2nd, to a maximum of 5d6 at 18th level. The energy type (positive or negative) that the temple dancer channels is determined by her deity, like a cleric. This ability qualifies the temple dancer for feats with the channel energy class feature as a prerequisite, such as Turn Undead or Command Undead. Using this ability requires a full round action and expends 1 round of performance.
Evocative Performance (Sp): At 6th level, the temple dancer gains the bard's suggestion performance.
Healer's Trance (Ex): At 8th level, the temple dancer can use her temple dance to enter a trance-like state while enacting a whirling motion that attunes her spirit to the aspects of her deity. By spending a move action focusing on her whirling, the temple dancer can apply the Quicken Spell feat to any cure spell (or inflict spells if the temple dancer channels negative energy during her pavane performance) she is about to cast (effectively spending a move action and swift action to cast the spell). This does not alter the level of the spell or the casting time. Using this ability requires a move action and expends 2 rounds of performance.
Dance of Greatness (Su): At 9th level, the temple dancer gains the bard's inspire greatness performance.
Trance of Succor (Ex): At 12th level, the temple dancer gains the bard's soothing performance.
Dance of Inspiration (Su): At 15th level, the temple dancer gains the bard's inspire heroics performance.
Mesmerizing Performance (Sp): At 18th level, the temple dancer gains the bard's mass suggestion performance.
Deadly Promenade (Su): At 20th level, a temple dancer can use her performance to transform into the whirling avatar of her deity, once per day. During the first round of his performance, the temple dancer draws her weapon and enters a divinely induced trance that allows him to spin at a tremendous speed. Doing so creates an impassable curtain of whirling steel, granting the temple dancer a +1 bonus to AC and Reflex saves against any attacks made against him. For each additional round of the performance, this bonus increases by +1, up to a maximum of +6. While the performance is maintained, any creature that attacks the temple dancer takes 4d6 points of damage, with a Reflex save for half damage.
At the end of the performance, the temple dancer can, make one of the following actions. He can, as an immediate action, make a single attack at his full base attack bonus against a single foe, and adds his performance bonus to his attack roll. If the attack hits, the target takes 10d6 points of damage plus a number of additional 1d6 damage equal to his performance bonus (maximum +6d6).
Alternatively, at the end of his performance, he can, as an immediate action, make a single attack at his full base attack bonus against a foe within reach. If the attack hits, he deals an amount of damage equal to 4d6 plus his performance bonus (maximum +6). He can then make an additional attack (using his full base attack bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the previous foe and also within reach. If the temple dancer hits, he deals the same amount of damage (see above) and can continue to make attacks against foes adjacent to the previous foe, so long as they are within his reach. The temple dancer adds his performance bonus to each of his attack rolls. The temple dancer cannot attack an individual foe more than once during this attack action. In addition, if the temple dancer has maintained his performance for at least 5 rounds, his weapon is treated as having the vorpal weapon ability (see p. 472 of the Core Rulebook) with any attacks made during this immediate action. If the temple dancer is wielding a piercing, the opponent's head is torn from its body, or if wielding a bludgeoning weapon, the opponent's head is crushed into a bloody mass.
All benefits of the deadly promenade performance are retained until the temple dancer's immediate action is completed. The temple dancer must begin a new performance to regain the benefits of the deadly promenade performance. Deadly promenade relies on visual components. This ability replaces deadly performance.
Quick Steps (Su): Starting at 3rd level, whenever the temple dancer uses her temple dance she gains a +10 enhancement bonus to her land speed.
Harmonious Grace (Ex): At 4th level, whenever the temple dancer is using her temple dance she gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC. This bonus increases by +1 at 8th level and every four levels thereafter, to a maximum of +5 at 20th level.
Zealot's Step (Ex): At 5th level, the temple dancer gains Combat Casting as a bonus feat.
Dance of Insight (Su): At 10th level, once per day, a temple dancer can gain a +5 bonus on a single attack roll, caster level check, or saving throw as an immediate action. This decision must be made before the results of the roll are known, but can be made after the die is rolled. This ability can be used twice per day at 15th level, and three times per day at 20th level.

Well, I've been dating this girl for 4 months. she's really my everything out of countless girls I've dated she's the most perfect and I'm 100% sure I'm in love with her. The problem is she's 16 and I'm 19. I'm worried that when I turn 20 and she's still a minor it will look so bad. I tell her this but she thinks I just want to break up with her. I don't want to break up with her at all but I have no clue what I should do. All our friends will probably freak out all of a sudden, her parents like me but people change. I'm ABSOLUTELY in love with this girl what should I do?
Most Helpful Girl
Don't be so superficial. It's between you and her and not the people around you. If you really love her, GO on. There's nothing wrong with a 3 years age difference. Can you imagine breaking up with her then one day you'll find her dating another guy? oh I bet you don't want that to happen. If you are so in love with her don't let this petty issue ruin your relationship. Treasure her please! or else you might lose her and not find someone as special as her again... When true love even works for those with 20-30 age gap, why not for a 3 years age gap? lol at least it's much better that you're the one who's older and not her10|10|1
Thanks I just want to be happy with her with no problems, I talked to her about it and we are going to tought it out.
Theres no way you're relationship will be perfect. Just accept everything and love her with all your heart. I'm glad though! I'm sure you're not going to quit :D

Nice looking chicken and fatties!
Good lookin bird! Nice job.
Looks like the chicken turned out great. I do have a suggestion for you though. Next time put the chicken under the other items you are smoking so you don't end up contaminating the other items with raw poultry drippings
Looks great!

Heh, love the monk pun. A higher soy diet does not aid the cause. Perhaps it is my Hollywood childhood memory bias compounded with absolutely no research on my own to confirm, but aren't monks suppose to train in martial arts just in case they are attacked? Being a pacifist, much like following the libertarian non-aggression principle, does not mean one cannot use force and violence to defend and protect one's life or property when aggressed upon.
I believe … and I'm an expert because I watched every episode of the "King Fu" TV series … you are thinking about the Chinese Shaolin Monks PBR. 🙂
What kind of Buddhists are these, Otto?
In the words of Pete Egoscue (author of "Pain Free"), "High heels are a good-looking bad idea." Unfortunately, too many women still view spike heels and pointed toes as a fashion necessity. Even worse, some employers require them as part of their dress code. They're the modern, Western version of Chinese women who, years ago, tottered about on deliberately stunted feet.
A client of mine wore high, spiked heels her entire life as per her jobs dress code. After decades of this, she messed up her foot bad enough that she lost the ability to walk at all for months; and it took over a year to walk normally again.
Then there are women like me who couldn't (and wouldn't) walk in spiked heels if my life depended on it!
80% meat means a combination of protein and fat. Inuit diet is more like 80% fat and almost 100% from animal sources from what I've read. And from my experience in the last six years of low carb, one can eat a lot of vegetables and still be less than a hundred calories.
Flexibility, strength, balance test link is not working. I'm looking forward to trying it.
The website is still not working but I found the test here.
"Neanderthals diet: 80% meat, 20% vegetables"
I love that headline.
Forget the slow cooker. Get an Instant Pot. I bet Mark would do well if he put out a Primal book on Primal Instant Pot Recipes.
Interesting article about the kiddos recovering better without food. I always used to decline food when I was sick, still do. Except for moms homemade chicken stock when I was starting to feel better. Sleep and rest was all my body ever wanted when not feeling well. I notice that that's what most animals do too…my dog for example. Since going primal, I never (knock on wood) get sick any more. My family hates me for it. They'll all be at home dying with the flu and Ill be out hiking all day!
Don't you just love revisionism? It used to be that conservatives would play fast and loose with the truth, but it turns out that those on the other side of political spectrum are just as guilty a lot of the time. As always, great line up of links: I didn't get to them before now, but it will make for great reading as this week goes along.
I am personal trainer in the Sweden. I have read your blog it is very amazing. I will use all these steps to guide my trainees.

2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
5Known Problems
The high pressure diesel fuel injection pump may fail, resulting in a "no start" condition.
A severe lack of power may develop because the hose from the turbocharger to the intake manifold can come loose, resulting in loss of boost pressure to the engine.
A coolant leak from the radiator can be caused by a defective thermostat bypass. This can cause pressure spikes in the cooling system, which leads to radiator failure. The thermostat assembly and radiator should be replaced.
If the driveline angle is out of adjustment, it can cause shuddering from the vehicle when accelerating from a stop. The driveline angle should be adjusted to reduce vibration in most driving conditions.
