“I am verily persuaded that the Lord has more Truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word. For my part, I cannot sufficiently bewail the Condition of the Reformed Churches, who are come to a Period in Religion and will go at present no farther than the instruments of their Reformation. The Lutheran can’t be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw; and the Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things… I beseech you, remember, ’tis an Article of your Church Covenant, that you be ready to receive whatever Truth shall be made known to you from the written Word of God.”

“Next to temperance, a quiet conscience, a cheerful mind and active habits, I place early rising as a means of health and happiness.”

“The difference between rising at five and seven o’clock in the morning, for the space of forty years, supposing a man to go to bed at the same hour at night, is nearly equivalent to ten additional years to a man’s life.”

Whoa, did you know you could buy those grills they have in parks and picnic areas? Yeah, neither did I (although I’m sure I would have figured it out if I thought about it).
REAL breakdown of the California vote
You won’t really see this in all the election coverage today. (This doesn’t include those that are ineligible to vote which would look more like this.)
UPDATE: It occurs to me that there will be much discussion about low voter-turnout so it may be unfair to say you won’t see this in the coverage. But there will be much more discussion about what the will of the people of California is based on the small number of people that bothered to vote.
How Much Sugar in Fruit? »
My wife and I were just discussing this this morning and I remembered seeing this recently and looked it up. This doesn’t really tell the whole story because the real question is, how much sugar is too much?
Various googling reveals that the USDA recommends no more than 8% of the daily caloric intake should come from “refined” or “added” sugar. So how much is that?
According to the Sugar Stacks site (linked above), one of those sugar cubes is about 4 grams which equals 16 calories. For a child with, say, a 1500 calorie daily diet that would be 7 or 8 cubes. However, calorie needs for children can fluctuate wildly.
Also, check out the How Much Sugar in Snack Foods page. Those yogurt-covered raisins have less sugar than the same serving of real raisins!
