Traditionally, investigations of a foodstuff's implications for human health focus on the content of individual nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, etc. However, newer research shows that the health effects of a food product cannot be determined on the basis on the individual nutrients it contains; the food must be evaluated as a whole — together with other foods eaten at the same time.
The findings of an expert panel have been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Post-doctoral researcher Tanja Kongerslev Thorning with the department of nutrition, exercise and sports at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark is first author of the report. Thorning explained that scientists have long wondered why the actual effects of a food are at variance with the effects expected on the basis of its nutrition content.
Nutrition researchers have, therefore, started to look at things in a wider context: "Researchers have become more skillful over the years, and we have acquired more methods for exploring what specific nutrients mean for digestion and health," she added. "When we eat, we do not consume individual nutrients; we eat the whole food, either alone or together with other foods in a meal. It, therefore, seems obvious that we should assess food products in context."
Ultimately, this means that the composition of a food can alter the properties of the nutrients it contains in ways that cannot be predicted on the basis of an analysis of the individual nutrients.
For example, dairy products such as cheese have a lesser effect on blood cholesterol than would be predicted on the basis of their content of saturated fat. There are interactions between the nutrients in a food that are significant for its overall effect on health.
"Another example is almonds, which contain a lot of fat but which release less fat than expected during digestion, even when chewed really well," Thorning explained. "The effects on health of a food item are probably a combination of the relationship between its nutrients and also of the methods used in its preparation or production. This means that some foods may be better for us, or less healthy, than is currently believed."
Precepts reconsidered
The expert panel behind these conclusions consists of 18 experts in epidemiology, food, nutrition and medical science. They were brought together in September 2016 for a workshop organized by the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with the University of Reading in the U.K.
Discussions focused on dairy products and on how the complex mixture of nutrients and bio-active substances, such as minerals and vitamins, can affect digestion and ultimately change the overall nutritional and health properties of a particular food.
The panel concluded, among other things, that yogurt and cheese have a different and more beneficial effect on bone health, bodyweight, the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases than would be expected on the basis of their saturated fat and calcium content.
Professor Arne Astrup, head of the University of Copenhagen department of nutrition, exercise and sports who chaired the workshop, said cheese is good example to illustrate that a food's health effects cannot be judged by single nutrients, e.g., sodium and saturated fat.
"In contrast to current recommendations that essentially ban full-fat cheese, current research clearly demonstrate important health benefits of cheese for prevention of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancers. All the positive effects are due to a complex interaction between beneficial bacteria, minerals and bio-active cheese ingredients," Astrup explained.
University of Reading professor of food chain nutrition Ian Givens, co-chair of the meeting, concluded, "More studies are needed, but ultimately, it seems that some areas of nutrition science need to be rethought. We cannot focus on a nutrient without looking at how it is consumed and what else is eaten at the same time."
The findings were published in the journal article "Whole Dairy Matrix or Single Nutrients in Assessment of Health Effects: Current Evidence & Knowledge Gaps."

Aileen and I wish you the best health and happiness you can manage for 2009. We stayed home yesterday. Aileen gave Mitzy a bath, much to M's disgust. Later, I took Mitzy for a good walk in the desert. It was very warm so she was pooped when we returned. The temperature is getting up in the low 70Fs right now which equates to low 20Cs. Aileen had a long nap in preparation for the party evening. I spent the latter part of the afternoon sitting in the sun reading.
We went to the clubhouse for the New Years party and had a good time. We met some more people and have an invitation to go next door to Florence Gardens to visit a couple from Ontario. The doors open 15 minutes before events normally and it's humorous watching the antics. Last night there were about 30 people lined up just after 7 PM when I took Mitzy to the dog park. Doors opened 7:45. It reminds me of the old school bus lineups with people jockeying for position. I think it was a sell out crowd; there didn't seem to be many empty seats. They are a real dancing crowd. At times the floor was very full. The two piece band played a wide range of music which was enjoyable to listen to as well as mostly good dancing. Aileen and I took our bottle of Malibu Rum to keep us mobile. There was tons of finger food so we were able to keep our strength up as well. We stayed til the band quit a little past 12AM. Aileen and I probably danced at least half the dances! Took quite awhile to settle down back at home. Mitzy met us at the door in a hurry to visit the dog park. What a crowd there was there. I think eight other dogs all being walked and the general consensus was they were all in a hurry when their Mom and Dad got home. Kind of funny at 12:30 AM. I went off to the shower house while Aileen decided on a bath in the trailer.
January 1, 2009
We didn't get to sleep later than normal as Mitzy wanted her usual trip to the dog park at 8. We took it cool today. The big job was taking down the decorations. Must have taken nearly 10 minutes! Aileen had a good nap later and I went for another stroll in the desert. At 4 PM we went to the New Years supper at the boardroom. I think 14 couples attended and we had a great time. We got to meet several new people and some that we'd met previously. It was a great potluck with a wide variety of dishes. A neat thing was going around the table and having everyone speak about themselves. Later we played some kind of game of which I was one of two winners, my prize being over a pound of chocolate pieces which I sent around the table as I no longer devour chocolate since I identified it as one of my migraine triggers. There were some pretty interesting things mentioned and some were hilarious. We were home before 8 then after a bit we went to the pool. We had a call from Garry and Barb in Duncan and it sounds like they're pretty tired of this winter.
Jan 2
It was another low key day. Mid morning, we walked over to visit people we met at the dance but they weren't home. I barbequed wieners for lunch and later Aileen had a long nap. I managed to get quite a bit of reading in lounging in the sun. It was a little cooler today as the wind had a tang to it. Beautifully clear still but still forecasting showers by Sunday. I dug the printer out and made a bunch of 4x6s as Aileen wanted some more cards made and I wanted to send some prints to Mom and Dad. My Canon Pro 9500 printer lives under the bed and it is hard on the back getting it in and out. It and my laptop pretty much fill the table when printing. It sure is nice to be able to make prints on the road though. We had company in the pool tonight. A young couple from small town Montana (Broadus) are visiting her Mom. More and more people are coming now that the holidays are done. Several people are actively searching for property. Three or four groups toured the park model beside us. Others are rushing around with lists in hand.
Jan 3
We hadn't planned on going anywhere today but a screw came loose on my glasses and after tracking down a set of tiny screwdrivers at Daryl's across the road and trying unsuccessfully to repair it, we had to go to WalMart in Coolidge. They fixed it easily but she said she had to install a new screw. I couldn't have fixed it myself if I'd tried all day! She also cleaned and adjusted my specs, all at no charge.
I dug the printer out again today to put a message in a card for Joni whose birthday we're invited to tomorrow. I also printed Mom and Dad's letter to go with the prints. Tonight in the pool we met a lady from Kansas and another from Kamloops. Their husbands came by and visited but didn't come in the pool. The people from Kamloops rented Wendy and Randy's trailer last year.
Jan 6
I've been ill the past couple days with headache and stomach ails. I picked up a bug somewhere I guess. I'm posting this from the trailer so no pictures today. The router signal is too weak to allow uploading images. Joni's party went well. There was a good sized crowd and lots of food which her husband Pete had prepared. Joni made a couple of speeches and she was pleased to have her son and his girlfriend here from California. We've had rain the past couple days, ¼ inch yesterday, and today has dawned sunny and bright again. Hopefully this bug will go away so I can get back to doing again.

Divorce is one of the most difficult times in a person's life. For Colorado residents who have decided that it is best to move on from an unhappy marriage, there will be many things that go through their minds. However, it is easy to forget important aspects of the process. There are significant financial, personal and professional considerations to account for. The failure to do so can lead to major problems not just in the short-term after the divorce, but in the long-term as well. Keeping certain issues in mind can help to smooth the process.
Deciding how to move forward includes taking a step back and determining what is desirable and what is not desirable. It is often forgotten that the divorce is a legal situation. When divorcing, it is the termination of a contract. Being somewhat self-interested is necessary to handle alimony, maintenance, child custody and other issues that arise.
Finances will inevitably change after ending a marriage. Some people do not know how to handle their finances, as the other spouse was the one pulling the purse strings. Keeping track of expenses, assets, living costs and more can lead to greater independence. Having professional advice is always a wise step and this goes beyond a legal professional. Financial professionals can help to get organized and know what is possible and what is not.
Whether the divorce is amicable and the couple decides to split as friends or there are battles over every aspect of the marriage and its end, it is critical to have legal help to handle the situation. A lawyer can provide guidance and advice with the legal process and how to move forward after the divorce is complete. Contacting a divorce lawyer when first considering ending the marriage can be the first step toward a new life.

#TheList Gary Marshman, born 30/05/1983, originally from Black Abbey in Bradford but has lived at 27 Tennyson Avenue, Bridlington YO15 2EX for several years – stole an elderly couple's border collie from outside a supermarket; dog found dead with injuries consistent with being thrown from height
In January 2010 Marshman who had a string of previous convictions including possession of a firearm and burglary, stole 12-year-old border collie Jess, beloved pet of retired couple Ron and Enid Bisby, from outside a supermarket in Cleckheaton.
Two days later Jess's battered body was found in shallow water at the bottom of a viaduct. It appeared that she had been thrown from a bridge. Her collar and lead were found in bushes nearby.
CCTV cameras captured Marshman, who at the time was staying at a local bail hostel, going into the supermarket to buy socks. He was then shown running off with the dog.
Marshman refused to say if he had thrown to dog to her death and was convicted only of theft.
Enid Bisby spoke afterwards of the impact the loss of their pet had had on her and her husband. She said: "Jess was the love of our lives, so much so we had an artist paint a picture of her from a photograph. For this to happen to any dog would be terrible, but for it to happen to an old, trusting dog makes it even more upsetting."
Ron Bisby said: ""I have been unable to sleep properly. I feel numb and I miss my dog terribly. My wife feels she has aged 10 years and won't leave the house. I can't put a price on Jess. She is priceless to me."
Sentencing: jailed for 26 weeks for theft. No ban.

Nowhere in scripture does it tell us to teach our husbands. So when it comes to teaching what is good it is toward other women or children. This point I learned the hard way.
Early in our marriage, Todd and I would read the same chapter in the Bible and then discuss it. He had been brought up in a Christian home and had gone to church, AWANA and Bible camp all his life; I was a new Christian of about two years. To put it simply, I did not understand the wonderful workings of the Holy Spirit and I thought the Bible must speak to each of us identically. So in our discussing what a verse or passage meant to us, I would disagree with him. We would debate instead of share. It didn't take long until we weren't reading the same chapters. Todd lost interest in telling me what he was learning. Yep, I had torn down our communication with my own lips.
A few years back we were considering having some family devotions. I wanted to dictate the time, tell Todd what would work best. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit reminded me of our beginnings and how I had messed up our sharing before. Instead of making the time look like my image of family devotions I encouraged him to lead however he wanted. Now we often sit around the table after supper and Todd reads to us his journal from one year ago. First he shares his diary type entry, which explains what we did on that day a year ago. Secondly, he reads to us what verse he wrote down for the day and what his thoughts were regarding its application. What a wonderful way for him to inspire us and relate what God had taught him. All of this could have been lost if I would have insisted on doing things my way.
Another time it was good this tongue of mine took a rest, was when Todd started doing quiet times with our son. Oh how I wanted to help them get the most out of their time. Why do I think I know so much? Thankfully, I refrained. Our son loved his time with his dad and often relayed to me the verse they had discussed and were working on that day. Amazing! Their time doesn't look anything like I would do, yet, it is perfect for bonding them to each other and to the Lord!
So, if you want your husband to be your family's spiritual leader then my encouragement would be, learn from my mistake and don't hinder any efforts your husband makes to lead the family. Stand back, give him room and enjoy the unique perspective he brings to inspiring the family.
Proverbs 3: 7 "Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and shun evil."
If you think you are more spiritual than your husband…he knows that and feels defeated without even trying. Do not be a self proclaimed prophet. Being wises in your own eyes definitely lessens attraction.

First things first: Freedom of speech is a cherished liberty among all Americans and most citizens of the rest of the world. It is the bedrock upon which all other freedoms rest. Preserving it is critical for civilized societies to exist. And it must be honored for all speech, especially that which is regarded as unpopular or offensive.
That said, in the practice of defending free speech we must be able to distinguish between actual expressions of genuine thoughts and beliefs, as opposed to cynical exploitation aimed at inflaming emotions and inciting violence. Just as shouting "fire" in a crowded theater when there is no fire is not protected speech, staging events meant to cause harm is not an excusable act under the First Amendment.
Hypocrites who pervert the notion of free expression need to be called out. They are often easy to spot. They complain bitterly when they are not allowed to malign and insult others with impunity. And while they insist that any derogatory speech directed at their heroes be condemned and suppressed, they outright lust for words and pictures that offend those whom they don't particularly like. That's how they can justify support for blatantly repulsive speech against Muslims or other enemies of right-wingers, but the slightest perceived slur aimed at Christians or other conservatives is an abomination. [Just ask the Dixie Chicks and the casualties in the War on Christmas]
The affair in Garland, Texas was advertised as "The Inaugural Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest." But lest anyone mistake it for a legitimate exercise in free speech, the facts about its organizers and purpose must be known.
The event was a project of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, a virulent anti-Islamic operation that has been been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. It is run by notorious Islamophobes, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. Geller & Co. have often produced media-centric events to promote an overtly bigoted agenda, of which the event in Garland is just the latest example.
To underscore the evil intentions behind this gathering, note that the venue chosen was the very same venue where Muslims held a conference in January of this year with the stated mission of making it clear that terrorists like ISIS and Al Qaeda are "enemies of Islam who are hurting Muslims and neighborly relations toward the world." That event was heckled by right-wing protesters who apparently object to peaceful Muslims who repudiate terrorism.
Geller admitted that she picked this site as a response to the previous, pro-peace event put on by area Muslims. Which also raises the significance of the fact that the Garland community has a growing Muslim population. Consequently, holding an openly hateful event in such a community is purposefully provocative.
So can this rightly be called a "free speech" event when the primary activity is an alleged "art" contest that the producers know will be inflammatory; the site was chosen as a deliberate poke in the eye; the community is home to those the organizers wish to offend; the guests include international anti-Islam activist Geert Wilders; and the participants are professional hate mongers? Wouldn't it more more correct to call this a deliberate provocation intended to incite violence?
There was obviously no intent on the part of Geller and her hate brigade to engage in a sincere public discourse. It is far more likely that she got exactly what she wanted when a couple of would-be terrorists showed up with guns blazing. Sadly, what isn't being reported in the media is that the leaders of the broader Muslim community at large condemned the shooting and expressed unreserved support for the free speech rights of Geller et al. They also counseled other Muslims in the area to refrain from even showing up to protest the event, in order to preserve the peace. In that effort they were successful as there was no onsite protest. The only alleged Muslims who showed up were, unfortunately, the gunmen.

It's really too bad that there are people like Geller whose sole purpose in life is to create chaos and disharmony. And it makes it all the worse that they twist cherished principles like freedom of speech to incite violence. It is also too bad that there are idiots who will take the bait and give the hate mongers what they yearn for. Yes, Geller is just as entitled to free speech as anyone else. But she is coming awfully close to that line where she is shouting "fire" and hoping that innocent people get trampled.

#11. Zen in the Art of Writing | by Ray Bradbury
Listed 5 out of 20 times. In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2012, at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create.

Included are his reflections on the experience of writing, particularly the writing of such well-known works as Fahrenheit 451 and Dandelion Wine. Much autobiographical information is provided in this collection as well. As in his 500 short stories, novels, plays, and poems, Bradbury's warmth and cordiality will charm readers."

Energy saving Scots face fines
Energy saving Scots, who have opted to burn coal or wood for heating, face £1,000 fines for breaching the Edinburgh's strict anti-pollution laws.
City officials said they wanted to raise awareness amongst thrifty Scots of the laws following an increase in the number of complaints about smoking chimneys. Nobody has been fined so far, but the move by Edinburgh council could bring an end to people having their chimneys swept.
Councillor Robert Aldridge, the city council's environment leader, said: "The vast majority of residents are clear on what fuels they can and can't burn to heat their homes."
He added that it made sense to remind people that Ediburgh became a Smoke Control Area in 1995.
The decision to enter the smoke control scheme made it illegal to burn wood and standard coal on an open fire.
Last year city officials dealt with 55 complaints.
According to the Electric Power Research Institute, coal burning is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the US.

Happy Saturday! :) For those of you who know me... you KNOW I'm a coffee lover. It all started with the birth of my second son, who had colic and prevented me from sleeping for what seemed like a lifetime. ;) When I had to go back to work, I truly believe this beverage kept me alive (and kept my patients alive as well). ;) So... anything 'coffee related' just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I bet you'll never guess which image I inked up first in the latest Store Kit from Unity???.....
Ah, yes! Live IS fabulous (which just so happens to be the name of this sweet new set) I paired my cafe image with some Material Girl paper from Cosmo Cricket (my new ULTIMATE favorite collection right now!). The buttons in the corner are from my husband's great grandmother's button stash. I'm so glad she liked to save things... because now I get to enjoy them decades later. I love how the buttons have started to crack with age. :)
The sketch for my card is from this week's CPS card sketch. Nice & simple & to the point. Great layout. :)
I hope you enjoy your weekend! Oh! And make sure to check out the Unity Blog to find out more about the Store Kit! The Unity designers have all made something on their blogs for inspiration... and you'll find all the links on the Unity blog as well as my sidebar.

Bitcoin is the most well-known & widely used cryptocurrency in the world.By February 2015, over 100,000 vendors were accepting this revolutionary digital currency. This currency was fully released in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto (a pseudonym for the inventor.) Although it can be classified as part of the FOREX market (the decentralized market for trading currencies), it is fundamentally different to other the other currencies. For example, it is not the domestic currency of any Country.
Bitcoin (BTC) is Less Controlled & Regulated Than Conventional Currencies
As Bitcoin is not minted by a central bank, & it isn't specific to any one nation, it is free (to some extent) from manipulation. For example, the US Dollar can be affected by the Federal Reserve's Monetary policy (i.e. interest rates.) To be more specific, a decrease in interest rates would cause the value of the Dollar to decrease.
Bitcoin is free from this sort of state intervention. Some investors may view this as a disadvantage, as changes in interest rates gives them an opportunity (they can benefit from the added volatility.) However, other traders prefer to trade an asset that is virtually uncontrolled.
Bitcoin is a Volatile Asset – Has High Growth Potential
According to an article published on Forbes (on 08/07/2016), Bitcoin has been recently gaining value exponentially. The article read "From late this May to just a few days prior to the UK's referendum on European Union (EU) membership, the price had surged almost $300. As of July 7 it was trading at around $648 – up 63% from the price this time last year at $397."
Bitcoin's volatility means that investors can generate large returns. In fact, estimates of its future value (by 2030) range from $1 – $10,000 (some analysts think it could be even greater or lower than this range.)
Owning BTC Diversifies Your Portfolio, Hedging Risk
Owning a range of different assets, such as stocks, bonds & commodities allows you to mitigate the risk associated with trading. Taking a position in BTC is a good way to diversify your portfolio, & reduce the likelihood of a single bad trade wiping out your account balance.
As of the 09/07/2016, 1 Bitcoin is worth $652.13.

A LEGION of talking heads have chipped in with their take on how Tyrone should approach Sunday's All-Ireland final against Dublin; some of whom, admittedly, carrying a little more weight than others.
Jim McGuinness' column in last week's Irish Times has already passed into infamy for his suggestion that the Red Hands could bring 15 players back inside their '45' to counter Dublin's attacking threat, with possibly farcical consequences.
But the majority aren't subscribing to the McGuinness-patented handbook for overcoming Dublin. Instead the likes of Joe Brolly, Enda McGinley and Aidan O'Rourke are urging Tyrone to cast off the shackles and give 'em hell on Sunday.
It's white noise at this stage, and Mickey Harte is nothing but his own man anyway, but the country is crying out for a competitive contest regardless of Tyrone's strategic approach.
While the Red Hands have hardly undergone a radical metamorphosis this season, subtle tweaks to the gameplan seem to be working, and it would possibly go down as the pre-eminent achievement in the history of Tyrone GAA if the senior footballers spring an upset this Sunday.
Dublin boss Jim Gavin, a commercial pilot masquerading as a new-age guru with his wholesome commitment to Maslow's theory of self-actualisation, is nonetheless at the helm of a cash-splashed machine who are unbeaten in 29 championship matches.
But we're a bullish breed and the tens of thousands of Tyrone supporters – bandwagoners start your engines – set to descend on Croker are daring to dream of a famous victory.
There's good reason for a dose of optimism anyway – Mickey Harte tends to have the midas touch whenever there's a trophy up for grabs, and much has been made of his unblemished record in All-Ireland SFC finals in the lead up to Sunday's match (psst, Jim Gavin has never lost on the big day either).
A preview on Sunday's match would be incomplete without hushed reference to last year's epochal All-Ireland semi-final defeat to the Dubs.
The Tyrone players have already tattooed over some of the scars with a more credible showing against Dublin in their 'Super Eight' clash last month.
An All-Ireland final is a different proposition entirely – take a peek out the window and you'll probably chance upon an assortment of bunting and flags – but the Dublin players are made of the same flesh and blood as the rest of us. Let's hope Sunday afternoon reminds us of that – good luck one and all.

There is scientific evidence proving evolution cannot be responsible for life on Earth.
It is time to question what biology text books and nature documentaries claim about our origins. Even Darwin admitted, "I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion of them."
Dr. John Ashton has dedicated 40+ years to teaching and researching science, and exposing the lack of proven evidence for Darwin's theories. In Evolution Impossible, he uses discoveries in genetics, biochemistry, geology, radiometric dating, and other scientific disciplines to explain why the theory of evolution is a myth.
Discover for yourself: Why the fossil record is evidence of extinction, not evolution. How erosion and sedimentation dates conflict with radiometric dating. How the lack of transitional fossils undermines evolutionary notions. Why living cells and new organisms do not rise by chance or random mutations.

Welcome back, it's time for another episode of "I need a distraction from OBAW/OBAM! In today's episode of the show, not much is going to happen but we're gonna talk about it anyway.
We left off with the Sugar Creek gang heading off to visit Old Man Paddler, who is probably not going to paddle them. To get to his house, they walk through the woods, then go through a cave which leads into his basement, then knock on the trap door.
As they are walking through the woods, Little Jim tells Tom to be ready to go to church extra early the next morning, because of choir practice.
[Pg 19]Little Tom answered Little Jim by saying, "O de koke," which is the same as saying, "Okey doke," which means "O.K." which is what most anybody says when he means "All right," meaning Tom Till would be ready early, and that when Little Jim's folks came driving up to their front gate tomorrow, Little Tom, with his best clothes on, would come running out of their old unpainted house, carrying his New Testament, which Old Man Paddler had bought for him…. Then they'd all swish away together to Sunday School.
I'm sure we all know what "okey doke" means. You could have put the period right there to end the sentence instead of going on to tell us what it all means.
A New Testament? Old Man Paddler couldn't spring for the rest of the Bible? Were Bibles that expensive back in 1947?
I don't know what the …. is doing there in the last sentence. I didn't put it there, and it irks me that Project Gutenberg may have left something out.
Then I heard Little Jim ask something else which showed what a grand little guy he was. "S'pose maybe your mother would like to go with us, too?"
Yes. Grand is the word for this. If the kid's mother doesn't wish to go to church, it's probably best not to mention it.
"My mother would like to go with us," Tom said to Little Jim, "but she doesn't have any clothes that're good enough." And knowing the reason why was because her husband drank up nearly all the money he made in the Sugar Creek beer taverns, and also drank whiskey which he bought in the liquor store—knowing that, I felt my teeth gritting hard and I took a fierce swing with the stick I was carrying, at a little maple tree beside me…. I socked that tree so fierce with my stick, that my hands stung so bad they were almost numb; the stick broke in the middle and one end of it flew ahead to where Circus and Dragonfly were and nearly hit them.
Wow. Um, ok. Is divorce a hard thing to get under these circumstances in 1947? Because I would've divorced my husband a long ass time ago if he was like this.
Also, it is really unfortunate that one has to feel the need for nice clothes to go to church. I think one should be able to go to church in whatever clothes one is wearing, so long as they are deemed acceptable for leaving the house. Strangely, this is one of the areas Ellen White agrees with me. She thinks it's a right shame that a woman like Tom's mom would feel she needed to miss out on church due to not having nice enough clothes.
Bill also has a rather strong reaction to hearing this I get that he feels angry on account of his friend's mother, but this just seems like a stronger reaction than normal "anger on account of my friend." Bill is angry enough over this to hit a poor, innocent tree hard enough to break the stick. That seems more like a reaction Little Tom should be having.
Note also that I am having a hard time keeping all these characters straight. They are so alike that I keep calling Tom "Jim," and who are Dragonfly and Poetry again and which one of them is this a picture of?
"What on earth!" Circus yelled back to me, and I stood looking at the broken end of the rest of the stick in my hand, then turned like a flash and whirled around and threw it as hard as I could straight toward another tree about twenty feet away. That broken stick hit the tree right in the center of its trunk, with a loud whack.
I didn't answer them in words at all. I was so mad at Tom's pop and at beer and whiskey and stuff.
If I were Tom, I would be more scared of Bill's reaction than anything.
They reach the cave, then the trap door in the old man's basement, and knock. He doesn't respond, and they can hear voices, so two boys put their ears to the floor. They're worried, because they know the old man has been robbed before, but, relieved, they find out that he is just praying.
I knew what the kind man was doing all right, 'cause I'd seen and heard him do it many a time in our little white church, and also I'd seen him doing it once down on his knees behind the old sycamore tree all by himself…. When I my name, I gulped, and some crazy tears got into my eyes and into my voice…. I had to swallow to keep from choking out a word that would have let the gang know I was about to cry…. Like a flash I thought of something and I whirled around and grabbed Little Tom Till and shoved his ear down to the crack in the door and put my own ear just above his so I could hear too, and this is what the old man was saying up there in the cabin, "And also bless the new member of the gang, Tom Till, whose father is an infidel and spends his money on liquor and gambling…. Oh God, how can John Till expect his boys to keep from turning out to be criminals…. Bless his boy, Bob, whose life has been so bent and twisted by his father…. And bless the boys' poor mother, who hasn't had a chance in life…. Lord, you know she'd go to church and be a Christian if John would let her…. And please…."
That was as far as I got to listen right that minute cause I heard somebody choke and gulp and all of a sudden Little Tom Till was sniffling like he had tears in his eyes and in his voice, and then that little guy who was the grandest little guy who ever had a drunkard for a father, started to sob out-loud like he was heart-broken, and couldn't help himself.
Er, what? You felt like crying when the Old Man prayed for you, so you shoved your little friend's ear to the door so he could cry too? And then you act surprised when he does? I am very confused.
Who prays like this, out loud? It's odd, but I'll give it a pass. The old man thinks he's alone, so he's free to pray out loud if he so chooses.
As far as John letting his wife be a Christian? Wtf, old man. Even with 1940s sexism, it was agreed that one could be a Christian regardless of whether or not one's husband allowed it. Going to church may be another story, but one could love the Lord regardless.
This feels a little odd, too. When I prayed for people, I never said things like, "bless Brutus, who's father is a worthless drunk." I'd say things like, "be with Brutus. His father is giving him a hard time about church. And be also with Brutus' father…."
It just feels weird to me that, in praying for him, all the old man could think of to say was that Tom's father is a drunk.
Everyone asks Tom what's wrong, Tom says he wants to go home. The gang says they'll all go with him. Tom tries to go home alone, but they won't let him, and anyway here comes Old Man Paddler. How annoying. If Tom wants to be alone right now he should be able to. I don't like these boys much.
Well, it would have been impolite to run away now, and so I whispered to Tom, "Me and Little Jim are the only ones who heard him praying and—and we—we like you anyway." I gave Tom a kinda fierce half a hug around his shoulder,
Not helping, Bill. That's not the point.
This next paragraph is weird. I know it's meant to show us the strong friendship Bill and Tom have, but, umm…..
All of a sudden, I got the strangest warm feeling inside of me, and I felt so good, something just bubbled up in my heart…. It was the queerest feeling, and made me feel good all over, 'cause right that second one of Little Tom's arms reached out and gave me a very awkward half a hug real quick, like he was very bashful or something, but like he was saying, "You're my best friend, Bill…. I'd lick the stuffin's out of the biggest bum in the world for you, in fact I'd do anything."
The first sentence of that paragraph is just weird. Close friendships are hard to describe,and if you try too hard, you end up writing sentences that make it seem like Bill is literally falling in love with Tom.
As to the last sentence, this is an example of how words in a language can change over time. I do not think it means what my 21st century brain thinks it means.
But his arm didn't stay more'n just time enough for him to let it fall to his side again, but I knew he liked me a lot and it was a wonderful feeling.
Nope. This boy doesn't sound gay at all.
The chapter ends with them scurrying up out of the basement and into Old Man Paddler's home "a jiffy later." The next chapter begins with "It didn't take more than several jiffies for us to be inside that cabin."
I've heard the phrase "in a jiffy" before, but I've never seen the word "Jiffy" thrown around as much as it is in this book.
Old Man Paddler makes them sassafras tea, which I've never heard of but seems to be a big deal for these boys. Bill notices that Old Man Paddler's Bible is open to the Sunday school lesson. He goes on for a paragraph about how his parents are firm believers in studying the lesson early in the week, so that thoughts about it can pop into their heads when they're otherwise supposed to be doing something else.
I was really bad about this sort of thing. I never studied the Sabbath School lesson. Like, ever. It was boring, and frankly, I preferred to just read the Bible myself. In any case, I got enough bible class at school, why did I want homework from church?
Bill looks out the window and decides they'd better get a move on if Poetry wants to take a picture of the snowman. First, though, the old man asks for them to get him some water from the spring.
Little Jim goes with him, and notices that there's a lot of snow on the roof of the woodshed, and wonders why there is no snow on the roof of the old man's house.
Because the old man's house is warmer than the woodshed, perhaps? I don't know, it seems an odd thing to go on for a whole paragraph about.
Then the boys all leave old Man Paddler's house so Poetry can get his picture. Bill goes on for an entire long paragraph about how they would have gotten home if it was summer. Yawn. I don't care.
This book is excellent medicine for insomnia. Literally nothing happens.
Bill and Poetry reach Poetry's house, and his mother his waiting for him.
"Well, well," Poetry's mother said to us when we stopped beside their big maple tree, and I waited a jiffy for him to go in the house and get the camera, "where have you boys been? I've been phoning all over for you, Leslie"—meaning she had been phoning all over for Poetry, Leslie being the name which his parents used and which he had to use himself when he signed his name in school … but he would rather be called Poetry.
Yeah, I can't say I'd blame him. I know Leslie is technically a gender neutral name, but it still sounds more like a girl's name to me.
Poetry's mom tells him that Mr. Black has been by. Poetry wants to know what Mr. Black wanted.
"He didn't seem to want anything in particular. He was out exercising his horse. Such a beautiful big brown saddle horse!" Poetry's mother said. "And such a very beautiful saddle. He looks very stunning in his brown leather jacket and riding boots."
Wait, the horse is wearing a brown leather jacket and riding boots?
Poetry repeats the question "what did he want?" And again Poetry's mom repeats her answer, and one wonders why he asked it twice if he knew the answer would be the same.
Mrs Poetry invites Bill and Poetry in for some pie, which they accept. Bill reminds Poetry that the sun will be shining on "Mr. Black," and that he might melt if they don't hurry. Mrs Poetry asks what Bill is talking about, and he says, "the sun is shining through the window on my blackberry pie."
Just then, Mrs Poetry gets a call from Mrs Mansfield. Mrs Mansfield asks to borrow The Hoosier Schoolmaster, and Poetry's mom says she'll have him bring it over for her.
Poetry goes upstairs to get his camera.
Then Poetry's mom called up to him and asked, "Find it, Leslie?" which of course he hadn't and couldn't, anyway, not upstairs, 'cause right that minute it was lying open on two sticks stuck into Mr. Black's stomach at the bottom of Bumblebee hill. For some reason it didn't seem as if we wanted to tell Mrs. Thompson where it was, but it looked like we were in for it.
Wait. They seriously left the book in the arms of a snowman?
Books are way easier for us to get ahold of in the 21st century, yet no 21st century person I know of would be that careless! They should have taken the book with them, jeez. What if it fell and landed in the snow?
Poetry grabs the camera, then runs out the door before his mom can notice that he doesn't have the book.
But Poetry's mother called to us from the back door and said, "Where are you going? Mrs. Mansfield doesn't live in that direction."
Poetry and I stopped and looked at each other.
All of a sudden we knew we were caught, so Poetry said to me, "What'll we tell her?"
And remembering something my pop had taught me to do when I was caught in a trap, I said all of a sudden, quoting my pop, "Tell her the truth."
Poetry scowled, "You tell her," he said, which I did
I love how this book is shoehorning in a lesson about honesty. Not.
Anyway, Bill tells Mrs Poetry where the book is, and instead of scolding the boys for being so careless, she thanks them for telling her and goes to call Mrs. Mansfield to tell her that the book will be coming a little later than she had intended. Mrs. Poetry also tells the boys they might run into Mr. Black. Black had apparently asked where they were, and she told them.
Poetry and I both yelled back to her, saying, "You told him WHAT!" and without another word or waiting to hear what she said, we started like lightning as fast as we could go, straight for Sugar Creek and Bumblebee hill, wondering if by taking a short cut we could get there before Mr. Black did
I don't get the urgency? I mean, what's Mr. Black going to do if he finds the snowman? It's not like they did it on school property or during school hours, and even if they had, would they really have been breaking any rules?
The chapter ends with Bill describing just how fast they are running. For once, this chapter ends on a cliff hanger where we kinda sorta have some tension. I'm actually kinda sorta impressed. This feels like a vast improvement in the book so far.
This book could have absolutely benefited from a decent editor, who probably would have cut out a lot of the paragraphs where Bill goes on and on about things that don't really matter. The scene at Old Man Paddler's house was kind of boring, and was clearly only there so he could tell us all about what a hopeless drunk Tom's father is. Which I wish they'd just shown rather than told about. There could have been a scene where Bill walked in on Tom's father drunkenly stumbling around. Or something, I dunno, this isn't my job, it's the author's.

My rose bush is full of these little buds. ĀI can't wait to see them in bloom! ĀOf course, I will take a picture so you all can see them too. ĀToday we begin our new study today on I Corinthians. ĀPray for us, as the ladies seem to think this will be a hard study. ĀTo me, hard means digging deeper. ĀHopefully, digging deeper means understanding deeper. ĀWe'll see. ĀYesterday was a beautiful day here in Floyd. ĀSunshine, not too warm, just right. ĀI washed clothes again and hung them out on the line to dry. ĀI thought I should take advantage of the sunshine. ĀThey are calling for rain this evening through Monday. ĀEvery year, our church does a youth Trout Fest day. ĀIt is scheduled for tomorrow. ĀThe pond is already stocked and ready to go. ĀIt is a big day. The kids fish from 9:30 to 12:00. ĀThen we have a picnic lunch. ĀHotdogs with all the fixin's. ĀLots of desserts. ĀThe kids and the adults have a LOT of fun. ĀHopefully, it will not get rained out. ĀWe went over to a friend's house last night. ĀI made homemade cinnamon rolls and took them to share. ĀGood coffee, good food, good fellowship. ĀLife is good and God is great! ĀI took Jessica's advice and made the rolls a little different this time. ĀI put chopped pecans in the middle along with the brown sugar and cinnamon. ĀThen for the icing I made a quick caramel frosting from my Mennonite cookbook. ĀThe recipe is:
1/2 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar. ĀMelt together on low heat and boil 2 min. stirring constantly. ĀAdd 1/4 cup milk and heat just until boiling again. ĀRemove from heat and cool slightly. ĀStir in 2 cups sifted powdered sugar.
This was very good on the cinnamon rolls. ĀI know it would be excellent on cakes as well. ĀTime for my day to get busy. ĀTake care and God bless.

Nissan Transfer Case Service
Nissan Transfer Case Service in Las Vegas
Nissan Transfer Case Service in Las Vegas
What's a Transfer Case?
Several Nissan models have been designed with 4-wheel-drive capabilities. This means that they have a transfer case that transfers engine power from the transmission to all four of your wheels. The transfer case is important because it makes your vehicle a 4-wheel drive. The transfer case is very complex with moving parts and fluid. The transfer case also acts as a differential that adjusts for the difference in rotation between wheels when turning. As you can see, your transfer case is vital but is often considered 'out of sight and out of mind' until you notice that there is a problem.
There are several common signs that you have a transfer case problem:
- Difficulty shifting gears
- Grinding noise from under the vehicle
- Vehicle jumps in or out of 4-wheel drive
- Transfer case fluid is dirty
United Nissan's Transfer Case Recommendation
Transfer case fluid needs to be replaced about every 30,000 miles; however, it is possible that driving factors like heavy hauling can cause problems with your transfer case components or the transfer case fluid. At United Nissan of Las Vegas, we always recommend following the maintenance service interval in your owner's manual, but we also know that some factors can cause you to need Nissan Transfer Case Service at shorter intervals. Regardless of the condition of your transfer case fluid, if you have any of the signs of faulty transfer case performance, then you'll need a Nissan Transfer Case Service to restore it back to factory specifications.
Schedule a Nissan Transfer Case Service
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of a faulty transfer case, we strongly recommend scheduling a Nissan Transfer Case Service to restore your vehicle to factory specifications. We have a team of Nissan Certified Trained Technicians that know your vehicle better than anyone else. Schedule an appointment today at United Nissan of Las Vegas to get the job done right.

All of my life I have longed for a higher education. In high school, I didn't do well due to obstacles at home. I did not go to college after graduation, but instead opted for getting a job. This was out of necessity, rather than want. Fast forward a few years and I would start community college at age 26. I only made it one semester before discovering that being a single mom, having a job, and going to school was too much to handle. I had to let something go, and unfortunately that was school. In 2009 at age 34, I made my mind up- it was now or never. I began slowly, and eventually increased my classes and credit hours, finally graduating in 2013. That was a huge accomplishment for me.
Since I was already in the mode, I applied for Athens State. I was extremely excited about furthering my education. I started Athens State in the fall of 2013 with eager eyes and a hunger for learning. I also wanted to be as involved as I could and gain the most from my college experience. First, I joined the Student Government Association (SGA). This was a very valuable experience for me. I met people, served the college at functions, and learned about what Athens State really means to other students. During my time with SGA, I was talking with the advisor (Tena Bullington) at one of our meetings and explaining that I needed a scholarship. She said, "I think I have the perfect thing for you." She then offered me the Editor position for The Athenian, Athens State's newspaper. I was very nervous taking this position, but Tena encouraged me and was there for me. Having that opportunity proved to be one of the best things to happen to me at Athens State, and I am very thankful for the chance to show some of my creativity.
I was also asked to serve as president for Delta Mu Delta. This was an absolute honor to me. I am so thankful for the advisors who saw the drive in me and asked me to serve.
I also signed up to be an Athenian Ambassador. This experience was very humbling. To be able to show others around Athens State and tell them all the wonderful things that they had to look forward to, made me excited and happy.
In the spring of 2015, just as I was getting ready to graduate, I got very sick. I had just made it past mid-terms. I was unable to do some of the work that other students were doing, but, I had a few awesome instructors that worked with me so that I could graduate. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a major in Management of Technology and a minor in Enterprise Systems Management. Athens State will always be the best experience that I have encountered in my educational endeavors. I would encourage anyone who is looking to further their education to consider Athens State. You will not be disappointed!
I plan to take all of my knowledge gained at Athens State and apply it to a future career. I would like to say thank you to some of the people who had a special part in my success at Athens State: Tena Bullington, Dr. Lisa Rich, Dr. Wayne McCain, Dr. Mike Haghighi, Dr. Laura Kerner, Dr. Kimberly Bell and Dr. Kimberly Roberts, you will never know how much your involvement has impacted my life. Athens State will always hold a very special place in my heart.
