An expression of gratitude

By Richard Garrett | July 3, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – So often non-profit organizations and churches take their noble missions for granted in expecting businesses and individuals to support their programs. While there is the tax write off incentive and brand marketing exposure for contributions, it takes a special kind of person to weigh the needs of the business against the needs of the organization requesting assistance.

LEAP Executive Director Richard “Reason” Garrett had this to say, “I, myself have been guilty of utilizing media to solicit support for various projects to better our community. Although, it’s for a worthy cause, I recognize that we must do a better job of acknowledging those who make our outreach efforts possible.”

The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of July 3rd

By Frazier Allen | July 3, 2011 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services

The economic data were mixed. Personal income and spending figures shower a sharp small decline in inflation-adjusted consumer spending in both April and May. The trend suggests an annual rate of growth of less than 1% in Q2 2011 in consumer spending, which accounts for 70% of Gross Domestic Product. Consumer confidence fell in June. Weekly jobless claims remained moderately high. The ISM Manufacturing Index rebounded partly in June, but the details were mixed.

The stock market picked among the economic news, ignoring the poor economic data and embracing the favorable reports. Progress on an austerity package in Greece reduced near-term worries about the European sovereign debt situation, helping to fuel stock market gains. Bond prices fell, pushing the 10-year Treasury note yield back above 3.20% (after dipping below 2.90% on Monday). «Read the rest of this article»

Barn Bowling

Semi-daily preaching by a Semi-daily Preacher on a semi-daily basis

Greg Lee as Brother Preacher

Disneyland had nothin’ on Grandpa’s barn.  Nothing.

If you were 10 years old, like me and my cousin Randy were, you could have happily spent several years of your life trapped in that barn, if only “they’d” have let you. 

Who needs school or food or a stupid pool when you have a barn like Grandpa’s to mess around in?

Everything a kid could have ever wanted was in that barn.  Cowboy hats, a tractor, tractor parts, tractor tires, car tires, truck tires, snow tires, and various inexplicable farm equipment parts were all scattered around the place like toaster crumbs. 

What to us were dusty, old pirate chests were filled with every kind of undiscovered treasure: old clothes, magazines from the 1920′s, faded photos of ancient strangers, milk crates of unused Polaroid camera film, masking taped board games, a war helmet, some rubber boots, a box of bolts.  «Read the rest of this article»

Allergies and Inflammation

By Larry Harris | July 3, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – In our modern society, one of the challenges that faces us today is the inability of the body to manage inflammatory levels of prostaglandins and cytokines causing immune hyperactivity.

Most of the time, by the age of 40 there begins to be chronic elevated inflammatory levels resulting in joint and muscle (musculo-skeletal) conditions. Adrenal hormones are increased to attempt to balance the levels of inflammation resulting in anxiety and panic syndromes and finally general adrenal exhaustion.

The basic four food allergies are wheat, milk, corn and soy.
