Wow, thank you for posting your update. Perhaps I am seeing more than I think I am because of the slightly different angle of your face, but I can see a big difference. In your chin, in your eyes, even in they way you are holding yourself (the oblique angle of your face and tilted chin in the earli...

Yes, clearly a social media optimization site written by a "rock guitarist who was injured in a PC gaming accident and am now addicted to social media" delivers expert information about Wikipedia's accuracy.

Wikipedia is nothing like reddit, and it isn't all about "arcane rules" and "internet political games", Thrasymachus . It is an extremely valuable source of information with thousands of contributing editors and a robust system for conflict management. Of course it is not perfect...

Listen to BlueHeron . This is how Wikipedia works. Claims need to be stated from a neutral point of view and backed up by reliable sources. If you don't feel the statement added is from a reliable source then that should be stated in the edit summaries, and if your edit is reverted then discussion s...

Here's what we need more of: Prescriptions for fruits and vegetables, not pills! http://abc13.com/health/new-program-has-doctor-sending-patients-to-the-farmacy-/360916/

Just came up with this tonight:

- Cooked brown lentils
- Baked sweet potato, chopped
- Garam masala

Yum!!!

Food Inc. definitely peddles the small-farm, grass-fed-is-good myth. But it is still worth watching because it exposes the government subsidies and other reasons behind why it's so much cheaper to eat hamburgers than fresh fruits and vegetables. The most important scenes to me in the movie showed a ...

The first time I got my Vitamin D tested, about three years ago, it was low at 14.4. My doctor wanted to put me on supplements, but I spent three months making an extra effort to get more sun exposure. I raised the level to 38.1 with no supplementation, and I have medium-tan skin. YMMV of course.

Thanks vgpedir and molly25! :-) Nice work on the run. :nod: Where do you guys train mostly? Do you run in GG Park or the Presidio? I used to run from my house in Noe Valley to Ocean Beach and back through GG Park, and around the Mt. Sutro trails. I loved those runs. :nod: I usually run up and over t...

Nine months into testosterone therapy, and I haven't gained any weight, have very little acne, and my total cholesterol and triglycerides have actually gone down; all the opposite of what is normally predicted. Still hovering around 117 pounds (BMI 20.1), waist 26.5 inches, total cholesterol 136, to...

It is a current historical and social reality that a man of mixed race was voted into the highest office. He is hardly oppressed, nor are those who got to the polls and voted him into office---for two terms. I know that his wife was earning more than three hundred thousand a year. Several times wha...

The protestors are saying that the language used is proprietary to and indicative of black people; The vernacular used by Thug Kitchen is not "proprietary" but it is indeed indicative of that used by many black people. It's not just swearing, it's particular phrases that would lead the re...
