A few weeks ago there was the annual Woodstock Fair in my area. It has been going on for 152 years. I always like to go to see the animals, craft exhibits, and browse the shopping area.  I also like to experience the entertainment.  They often have country and pop bands, oldies music, and some commedians.  This year Tony Orlando came to do one concert for the fair. I remember my aunt had a vinyl Tony Orlando record when I was a kid. My sister and I sometimes played it. "Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree" was our favorite. My aunt was very thrilled that he was coming to the fair. My mother, sister, aunt and I arrived in the afternoon for the fair.  My mother and aunt walked straight to the main stage to get good seats for Tony Orlando. A band was singing classic songs from the 1960s.  My sister and I walked around to look among the concession stands for fried dough.  We later joined the rest of our family for the concert. Tony Orlando was fun. He sang many of

Counsels on Diet and Foods by Ellen White pages 178-179: The less that condiments and desserts are placed upon our tables, the better it will be for all who partake of the food.  All mixed and complicated foods are injurous to the health of human beings. Dumb animals would never each such a mixture as is often placed in the human stomach... The richness of food and complicated mixtures of food are health destroying.

For dumb animals could not be compelled to eat them.

Question: The Cold War has influenced the way the superpowers have dealt with each other since WWII. Perhaps the clearest manifestations of this fact have been the various military interventions supported by the two sides. Consider one of these, e.g. Korea, Vietnam, the First Gulf War, in the light of the Cold War. Define your terms. Support your views.

I finally got my ears pierced.  Yes. I did it, at age 31.  For most people, especially women, getting the ears pierced is no big deal.  Practically every woman around has at least one hole in each lobe to wear some earrings when she wishes.  Ear piercing has been a right of passage for generations.  Many girls got their ears pierced when they became adolescents, sometimes getting it done on their birthdays.  Things have changed now, and it has become more common these days to have babies and toddlers wearing earrings now. For me, I was raised with the idea that I would never pierce my ears, ever.  See, I was raised in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The church traditionally has been against jewellery wearing.  Even today, their schools ban all jewellery.  Members of the church who have jobs within the denomiation cannot wear jewellery to work.  Even wedding bands have been a big subject of controversy.  It took many years for wedding bands to become acceptable to wear.  After man
