Not that interested in an apple flavored bar at the time, I threw it into my bag, and then didn't think about it for a few weeks. Then I found myself really hungry one day without a good snack available, at which point I reluctantly decided to try the soyjoy bar.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">aasiwal</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 18 Mar 2010 06:29:30 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is the devil in the digits?</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/06/24/is-the-devil-in-the-digits/#comment-40155917</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutoringresume.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tutoringresume.com/"&gt;Nursing Resume&lt;/a&gt; accomplishments will tell you.  Besides, I’m 23.  I should be smoking pot.  That said, for all you little kids out there who look up to me, don’t just go and smoke pot because I do.  For one, wait until you’re atleast 18 since pot can be damaging to people whose brains are still developing.  Not only that, but ease into it, and if you don’t like it, don’t feel the need to do it just because your friends do.  After all, nobody likes being around a kid who gets high and is either annoying or really paranoid and scared.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">aasiwal</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 17 Mar 2010 05:03:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is the devil in the digits?</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/06/24/is-the-devil-in-the-digits/#comment-38261441</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Artificial sweeteners are beneficial. They don't promote tooth decay or affect blood sugar levels in diabetics like sugar does. Also, judicious use can help in weight loss. For example, if you drank, say, three 12-ounce cans of regular sugar-based Classic Coke every day and then switched to artificial sweetened Diet Coke, you would decrease your calorie intake by 480 calories a day, or 3,360 fewer calories a week. &lt;a href="http://www.appointment-plus.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.appointment-plus.com/"&gt;Online Appointment Scheduling &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">aasiwal</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:44:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is the devil in the digits?</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/06/24/is-the-devil-in-the-digits/#comment-37184361</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://aasiwalseotips.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://aasiwalseotips.blogspot.com/"&gt;website design services&lt;/a&gt;  was the chapter itself that I had to start, one in which schizophrenia plays a major part. I felt, despite much research, humbled by this incredibly horrible disease. How could I bring it to life? I went back &amp;amp; reread one of the bibles on the disease &amp;amp; yet another memoir. There were hints of it in the first chapter &amp;amp; I may have tinkered with them early after I got back from Arizona, seizing them as opportunities to show the early symptoms. I reread the chapters from the Jane Austen novel I'm stealing from. I divided my chapter notes into two separate documents, one about Jane Austen and one about schizophrenia. I tried to reduce each to one page or to at least reduce the redundancies and unnecessary stuff.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Roma Sing</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 27 Feb 2010 05:24:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is the devil in the digits?</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/06/24/is-the-devil-in-the-digits/#comment-23343953</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I have been reading your blog last couple of weeks and enjoy every bit.

In fact, there is a 100% chance that a string of 116 random digits will feature such a pattern (update: I suspect this, but I’m not remotely capable of proving it).&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">skintreatment</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:32:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is the devil in the digits?</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/06/24/is-the-devil-in-the-digits/#comment-19285275</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.acne-reviews.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.acne-reviews.org/"&gt;Acne Treatment&lt;/a&gt; As a point of comparison, we can analyze the state-by-state vote counts for John McCain and Barack Obama in last year’s U.S. presidential election.

I can reproduce their numbers as well (except for one error which they've recognized).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two probabilities are entirely independent in the case where the last two digits are random.  In the definition used here, any last digit has 7 out of 10 unique, non-adjacent digits (everything that's not a repeated digit or an adjacent digit, with 0 being adjacent to both 9 and 1).  No matter what the last digit, a random second-to-last digit will have a 70% chance of being non-adjacent.  Beber and Scacco agree with this in the annotated version of their article.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">alchemytoday</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:21:55 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is the devil in the digits?</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/06/24/is-the-devil-in-the-digits/#comment-11928832</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Wow.  You can't do math.  Whatever you think of the election or these students, attacking their argument with such blithe ignorance does more to hurt your apparent 'cause' than convince your readers.  The summary you critique is a remarkably simplified report of accurate statistical analysis of the election.  I haven't read the math, nor even know if it's been published, but I can reproduce their results with the same numbers.  Your ignorance of their calculations is a pitiful attempt to discredit logical argument while remaining blissfully unaware of your own shortcomings.  And no, the first two probabilities are not multiplied.  They are not independent.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michael Wales</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 06:00:59 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
