Yes, but I have kids and we've always been told not to feed them peanuts till they are a certain age. Now it looks like that was bad advice. http://www.usatoday.com/story/... But, how do I know that a new study won't come out next year that will say "Hold everything! Giving babies peanuts is actually a deadly thing to do!" It's just so frustrating that it causes paralysis to set in since I don't know when to trust the science and when not to trust the science. In this case, the science is saying to give kids peanuts, but I think I'll stick with the old recommendations for my kids.

Heh, I just saw a link to this article on USA Today ;-) http://www.usatoday.com/story/...

The question is, when do you know the science is "finished"? I swear every year there is a new study saying something is good for you, followed by more studies saying it's bad for you, then more saying it's good for you. Sometimes it seems like science flip-flops worse than a politician. I'm not saying that science or the scientific method isn't great, it's just hard to know when to know the final word is in to know whether it is beneficial to ingest some substance to improve my health.

Alcohol - http://health.howstuffworks.co... Marijuana - I'm pretty sure the police officer who talked to us in 3rd grade said that we would die if we smoked marijuana. I consider death to be bad for my health ;-)

Alcohol is good for your health! Alcohol is bad for your health! Smoking is good for your health (says the 1940s doctor)! Smoking is bad for your health! Marijuana is bad for your health! Marijuana is good for your health! The only guarantee is that next year what is good will be bad and what is bad will be good.

I used to have a lot of respect for Bill, but the things I've been reading about him over the last few years make me thing that he might have onset something (Alzheimer?). How old is he? It feel like this is a kind of common thing. A person that I respected for many years gets older, starts saying crazy things, and loses all credibility. That unfortunately casts a shadow over all the good things they did before boarding the loony train.

Well, I installed Yosemite on four computers the day it came out. Two are laptops (one from early 2008 and the other from 2014), and two are desktops (again, one from early 2008 and the other from 2014). So far I've had 0 problems on any of the computers. So, in my experience, these issues are as widespread as you imply.

I don't have a problem with the length of the books, or the need for sequels. My problem is with Jordan's writing. For some reason the first book was fine, but the subsequent books? Not so much. I find Sanderson to be a far superior author to Jordan. I'd be find if the series still spanned 14 volumes, just as long as all 14 were written by Sanderson.

The quietest place I've ever been is back-country camping in Teton National Park. That is until one night when a large animal came sniffing around our tent. To this day I still don't know what it was, but it sounded large and suitably freaked us out ;-)

You might want to read the first book or two by Jordan, then find the summarized versions of the middle books somewhere online, then read the last few books written by Sanderson.

As I commented above, I loved the first book and the books written by Sanderson, but not the middle books so much. I would highly recommend reading the books written by Sanderson. I would love to read the entire series re-written by Sanderson. It would be amazing.

Honestly, I enjoyed the first book immensely and found the rest to be tolerable, at least until Sanderson picked up the reigns. Wow, he did an amazing job. I would love to read the entire WoT series re-written by Sanderson.

Wow, I found an Affiliated Associations of America. If the following isn't the biggest piece of business jargon that doesn't say anything, I don't know what is.

Yes. My job title is Senior Application Engineer (because that is what my company says they want to call it and I don't have a say in it), but I always introduce myself as a developer.

You do know that south florida is a southern state, don't you? If someone offered you a free house on south beach you seriously wouldn't take it?
