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: The earth has warmed faster in the past 10 years than in the past half century</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/07/24/the-earth-has-warmed-faster-in-the-past-10-years-than-in-the-past-half-century/#comment-27447705</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I must admit that today is my first time I visit here.

Suddenly or hastily prepared, made, etc.: an impromptu dinner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Adams got an impromptu course on how to curtsy to a King, his speech is an entirely different subject. The author here uses the miniseries of John Adams to make a point, well in that miniseries, which I own, you will see he got a crash course on bowing. He wasnt getting it right and he thought the whole thing was stupid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Emperor of Japan has no power over government, then why is it "required reverence"?&lt;br&gt;Why did Obama bow so deeply to him with his eyes fixed on the ground?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Japan Obamas version is known as the formal bow, so why was a formal bow to the Emperor of Japan necessary when he is not even the head of government?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS Bowing is not diplomatic protocol, it is the exact opposite when it comes to the President. When Adams did his bowing he wasnt President.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"American presidents do not bow before foreign dignitaries, whether they are princes, kings, or emperors."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Period.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">orwellsghost</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:17:07 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: One last thing on bowgate</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/04/05/one-last-thing-on-bowgate/#comment-27330808</link><description>&lt;p&gt;"So there you have it"?&lt;br&gt;" half-assed bows"? Really??&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There we have what? Let's not kid ourselves into deriving historical fact from IMAGINING a complex event of a different era to whatever convenient extent of accuracy that pleases us—eg, to start guaranteeing this or that! Arguments over whether presidents of the 18th Century would have or wouldn't have bowed to kings are pointless, because the act of bowing cannot easily and conveniently be interpreted separate to its social and political context!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's always tempting to draw limitless conclusions from analysis of history, but keep it sensible. Instead of thinking, with our imaginations in free-fall that, gee, because he was American, there was no way he was going to bow to anyone, just read what HE himself wrote of the encounter! He made the required "reverences"—yes, required by fact of diplomatic protocol!—and then, we can only suppose, moved on from there! Why try to make a big deal over the details of formal niceties of a completely different social era, and attempt to derive some hints of national status?? It's all IRRELEVANT! By the way, you might want to look up the meaning of "impromptu". Do you really believe that anything he did in that room was impromptu?? By his own admission, he memorised his speech!!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">aboctok</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 27 Dec 2009 08:44:07 -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.

John Adams WAS NOT the President at the time, he was an Ambassador.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Number 2, he did not give the deep bowing required by the Kings subjects, he did 3 half assed bows and said he could not bring himself to bow any deeper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So there you have it. &lt;br&gt;John Adams did not feel comfortable bowing to the King and only did his impromptu bowing because he was an Ambassador, if we were President at the time I GUARANTEE you he would not have bowed.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">orwellsghost</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:06:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: People die of bedsores in the UK!</title><link>http://alchemytoday.com/2009/07/05/people-die-of-bedsores-in-the-uk/#comment-20067890</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Through many trials and failures I have finally been able to heal a sacral pressure wound using some bandaging techniques.
