Evolving Thoughts moves
May 23, 2009
So it is farewell... I have enjoyed blogging here at Seed, who have been generally very good to me given the constraints of herding cats with string they are working under, but it is time to move on. The neighborhood became a little hostile to old fashioned fogies like me, and that's all we need to…

Now, I thought, that's really, really fast. But then, just a few days ago, there was a race between the "World's Fastest Men", and Bolt said he would break his own record. The result? 9.58 seconds.

Once again, acupuncture doesn't work for menopausal hot flashes
Of all the forms of quackery that have been “integrated” into medicine of late, arguably one of the most popular is acupuncture. It’s offered in fertility clinics.
