Surprisingly, another 6 percent said they enjoyed my new &quot;Fun-Filled Friday&quot; posts which is hilarious to me since they're just a whimsical afterthought for this blog and very rarely have anything to do with low-carb living. Perhaps I should do more of it. [[https://www.chilterntraveller.co.uk/members/whitneywhitney52/activity/477748/|More Good News For U2 Fans.spider]] was surprised that the YouTube videos, new low-carb book reviews, new low-carb blog listings, and even my low-carb forum all received less than 5 percent of the vote from the readers about what they are most engaged in. Interesting. Of course, one out of every five readers who come to the blog told me they like EVERYTHING, so maybe it's all good what I do.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Perhaps the most stringent alcohol law on the books is in Sanpete County, Utah. The obscure town of Ephraim, sitting in the heart of Sanpete County made national news recently when an 18-year-old girl was arrested for having two cans of beer and a bottle of Amaretto in her apartment refrigerator. You are not missing anything; she was not only arrested but spent 2 days in jail for having the alcohol in her refrigerator. She was not drunk, nor had she been drinking at the time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Doug Davis hurled seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts to pick up his second win of the season. The control problems that have occurred the previous two seasons have not surfaced yet in 2009, leaving Davis with a current whip ratio of 1.18.<br /><br />That being said, they have not been a couple for some time. There was not anything major that went wrong, but things like this do not always work out. Sometimes, especially when two people are as young as they were at the time, people just change and then they no longer want to be dating. This appears to be what happened to these two. This is not to say that they were not sad about it at the time, but they knew that they could not be together anymore if they both wanted to keep on being happy in their lives.<br /><br />As has happened every year since I've tabulated what low-carb diet my readers are following, the Atkins diet seems to be the low-carb diet of choice for well over half of the people who read my blog. [[https://proparentiahp.org/members/coughlinrichardson53/activity/486835/|Bullying In School: Lunchroom Turmoil]] could have something to do with the fact that I personally lost my weight in 2004 after reading Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution and people are wanting to try it out for themselves. Or [[http://onetrueword.com/members/fergusontherkelsen47/activity/113791/|Stewart's Second Title - Sweet News]] could be calling their diet &quot;Atkins&quot; when in fact they're just eating low-carb. It's hard to tell just from the raw answers provided for this contest. Even with following the basic Atkins diet, one reader said she is &quot;keeping an open mind to all new research as I believe there are some things that are not yet fully understood yet.&quot; I would assume quite a few of my readers share that same belief.<br /><br />For example, let's say that every day you look at a picture of $500,000. You would like to manifest it but you always have that little voice in your head saying &quot;there is no way you're ever going to get that&quot;. This alone can dramatically reduce your manifesting potential.<br /><br />The figures above show that over the first 5 years the different interest rates do not create a huge difference in returns. In fact the difference in return between the 5% and 15% interest rate is just $735. However, the longer you invest the greater the returns and the greater the effect of the interest rate. So after 50 years the difference in returns between a 5% and a 15% interest rate is over $1,000,000! This is the power of compounding.
