Well one of our dogs arrived with the name "Bam Bam" Quite inappropriate, as he is quite a serious and thoughtful dog. However we decided not to change it. One of the grandkids revealed that when the dogs stay with my daughter, they all call him "Dave". I cannot imagine why

oh my lord!
. . . it's a tragic day
you need to talk some sense into those grandkids, Dave! They can't be goin' around calling some poor dog by that name!
Haha, Any time you'd like Mama. I've got 2 dogs also... does that make you feel better? and no chickens to be seen......
Or bulk innards handled by someone else and 2 packages arrive from two different addresses with everything you need.
Dr. Michael Siegel's blog on this morning's announcement. Worth reading.

If someone said you had to get out of your 2016 car, because it's powerful and comfortable and only use one that was on the market in 2007, you'd think they were an ....... And you'd be right.
If, in order to use your 2016 model, you had to submit 100,000 pages of testimony at a cost of about $1M - and this is a rough guess, since only one manufacturer has managed it, you may think they were worse than a-holes. And again you'd be right.
Those a-holes are the FDA and that's what you get for trying to live longer by swapping something that kills 500 000 Americans a year for something that has killed none.

Thank you. I did not know, but since I am out shopping for batteries, it's good to know this.
My in-laws have weird dog-naming conventions. They have 2 dachshunds named Lester and Linda. Linda passed away in a (pretty bad) accident while Lester is well into his elder years (He should be 15 now).
Now that I think of those dog years, I suddenly realized how long I have been together with my wife. XD We started dating in 1999, got married Dec 2011. I got to meet a lot of her dogs.
I find it sadly ironic that Great Britain seems to have taking a somewhat more enlightened approach to e-cigarettes than my own country.
The Founders pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to secure our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There is overwhelming evidence that e-cigarettes extend lives. They liberate us from combustible cigarettes. Using them is quite enjoyable and provides happiness without causing measurable harm to anyone. This has happened because entrepreneurs have had, until now, the liberty to innovate and sell these products without heavy handed and arbitrary government interference and we have had, until now, the liberty to choose those products which best fulfill our needs and desires.
Among the ways in which Great Britain interfered with the aforesaid unalienable rights was by erecting “a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.” We are seeing the modern equivalent perpetrated on us by the FDA with these deeming regulations.
As they have done so often before, Clive Bates, Carl Phillips, Bill Godshall, et al., will compose well written, cogent, well documented, and highly detailed explanations demonstrating why this set of regulations may well be the most harmful, ill-advised, and needlessly intrusive action of any regulatory agency in US government history. Thousands will sign and submit petitions. Yet the FDA will not pay the slightest heed. Does this sound familiar? “In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. * * * We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity. * * * They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity.”
The FDA are a weird bunch.
I heard they also did an about-face on cholesterol?
I think they are the only medical body to do so.

It's quite simple really, 400,000 deaths a year in the US from cigarette smoking equates to a multi billion dollar industry. It makes perfect financial sense to protect and promote the culprit, as it makes perfect financial sense to never find the cure for cancer because they simply make much more money treating it than curing it. The FDA as usual is only too happy to oblige it's masters.
