Clear Vanilla

I understand there is a clear vanilla, could be pure, just bleached somehow.

Remember Pepsi Clear? eeeyyuuooo. That flavor is just not natural!!!
It would help if you could verify your source... I don't believe it is true. Logic would say that the purest vanilla extract is NOT clear. Why? Because vanilla beans are dark brown as are the seeds. Have you used fresh vanilla beans/seeds in your recipes?
I think it's an oxymoron to say that clear vanilla extract is pure. Have you ever noticed that brown vanilla ice cream has more of a vanilla flavor than white vanilla ice cream especially when homemade? Usually this is because they used fresh vanilla seeds instead of any type of extract at all.
Why don't you try making your own homemade vanilla extract? I can't imagine anything being more pure than making your own.

I'd assume the "extract" itself would be so minute as to just flavor the main ingredient that it wouldn't be enough to color it.
FYI (I found this interesting):
Here are two recipes for "kirsch/homemade brandy":
From Kitchen Cordials by Nancy Crosby and Sue Kenny:
3 cups cherries
3 cups 80-proof brandy
1/2 cup sugar
Pierce cherries with a fork and put in glass jar along with 2 cups brandy. Be sure fruit is covered. Leave for 1 month. Strain and filter. Add additional cup of brandy and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir well to dissolve. Leave until clear.
Decent flavor additives: cloves, cinnamon, mace.
From Sweet Sips 2 by Charles Thomas:
2 pounds Royal Anne or other yellow-red variety of cherries
2 pounds sugar
2 1/2 cups brandy
1 1/2 cups vodka
Wash and stem fruit, then cut each sherry open with a knife, exposing the pit. Put cherries in a large, clean jar and cover with sugar, stirring well to cover all the fruit. Let sit for 3-4 hours. This allows sugar to pull juices from the fruit. Stir in
the vodka and brandy until most of the sugar is dissolved. Seal and store in a cool, dark place for 2-3 months, stirring or shaking occasionallt (once or twice a month) to enhance flavor extaction.
Strain and filter as needed. Set aside fruit pulp you filtered out and use on waffles, ice cream or whatever suits your fancy.
As a variation, substitute Bing or other dark cherry for the golden ones above. Remove the pits from about half the cherries. Wrap the pits in a cloth and crack them open with a hammer. Add broken cherries to the mix. (If you want to preserve the pulp as above, put cherries in a cheese-cloth bag before adding to mixture.)
Or substitute vodka for brandy to make a "Cherry Schnapps" - a more pure cherry taste.

I can't believe anyone can detect pure vanilla extract from imitation vanilla extract in a baked product or frosting. Vanilla beans are of course another story.
I've been using vanilla bean paste alot lately. Anyone else?

Vanilla extract is always brown to black depending in how many "folds or x" it has. I fold or 1x = to 13.35 oz of vanilla bean per gallon, 2 fold is 26.7oz per gallon and so on but after 2 fold you start loosing some of the "basic vanillin oils" that makes vanilla extract so unique. "Clear vanilla" does not exist it is synthetic. To make meringue cover for you cakes etc, you save you beans in white sugar or bakers sugar and after a week depending how many you put in the bag you will get the "sugar" impregnated with the flavor of vanilla without the dark color of extract. If the beans get hard and they will after a few weeks all you have to do is put them in whatever liquid you use for your baking (milk, cream, even "water") and the bean will reconstitute in a couple of hours or at least you will be able to split it open to get the seeds out. It is always cheaper and you will get better flavor in your desserts if you use the whole beans. You should never put vanilla beans in the refrigerator they could get "moldy" from humidity and they need room temperature to further enhance the aromatic qualities and let the vanillin crystals grow which is a sign of super quality and that can take up to 3/4 years of aging. (You never refrigerate raisin, do you?)
Orlando products is a small Family owned and operated Natural Vanilla Company located just 9 miles from Puerto Vallarta in the quaint little village of Ixtapa, Jalisco.
Most of you opening this web site are existing customers who have experienced the true Natural flavor of our blended vanilla. For those of you who are new, you are in store for a new experience in vanilla flavor.
Our unique flavor comes from our special process of curing and aging our organically grown vanilla beans.
This process takes over one year to complete. Our entire blending process is done by hand the old fashioned way. We select only Premium vanilla beans in order to extract the more than 150 flavor components found in the bean. Once we have extracted the vanilla we then allow the liquid to age in order for the blending process to occur.
At Orlando,"Vanilla is our bussiness not one of our businesses"
My sister gave me a 125 mil bottle of this It has a sticker on it CLEAR VANILLA it is almost perfectly clear.

Armed teachers under debate in Colorado
DENVER - Colorado's public schools would be allowed to permit teachers to carry concealed weapons under a bill up for discussion Tuesday in the Legislature.
The Republican proposal has been made before without success, but the suggestion has additional resonance after last year's Arapahoe High School shootings, in which a student targeted a teacher.
The hearing also comes a week after a poll showed Coloradans narrowly say public schoolteachers should be armed. The Quinnipiac University Poll found that voters favored arming teachers to prevent violence in schools by a 50-45 margin.
Democrats say the proposal is a bad idea and that school security should be left to armed officers, not teachers.

Posted by Andreas Köstenberger
The Book of Proverbs wisely counsels, "Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own" (Prov 26:17). For this reason (if no other) I am reluctant to enter into the fray by offering some reflections of my own on the recent interchange between David Instone-Brewer and John Piper (or, more accurately put, on Instone-Brewer's CT article and Piper's response to it on his blog). Yet with some trepidation I will do so nonetheless, not in order to engage directly with one or the other of these individuals (both of whom I know personally and respect profoundly), but because this is a very important and serious topic addressed in Scripture that has many and real implications for all of us, in our own lives and in the lives of others around us entrusted to our spiritual care.
Starting with Instone-Brewer's article (which summarizes several of his much larger works on the subject), for the sake of those unfamiliar with Instone-Brewer's position, I will first offer a brief summary of his argument and then move immediately to a critique. Instone-Brewer looks at the first-century positions on divorce and remarriage held by the schools of Hillel and Shammai in order to understand the background for Jesus' pronouncement in Matt 19:9 that divorce is not permitted "except for porneia." He notes that both views were predicated on a certain interpretation of Deut 24:1. The Hillelites interpreted the phrase in this passage allowing divorce for "a thing of nakedness" or "a cause of immorality" to indicate that divorce was permitted for adultery ("nakedness," "immorality") as well as for any other "cause" or "thing." This, then, is behind the Pharisees' question in Matt 19:3: "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" In essence, they asked Jesus whether or not he agreed with Hillel's interpretation of Deut 24:1. The school of Shammai, on the other hand, interpreted "a cause of immorality" as one single phrase referring to adultery, taking a much more restrictive position on the legitimacy of divorce. In reply to the Pharisees' question, Jesus gave a resounding "no." He did not agree that divorce was legitimate "for any and every reason," as Hillel did. Those who divorced their wife for any reason other than porneia and remarried committed adultery. According to Instone-Brewer, Jesus thus did not reject the Old Testament itself at this point but merely a faulty interpretation of it, defending the proper understanding of Deut 24:1 as allowing divorce for adultery only.
As far as I'm concerned (though not Piper, see below), I say, so far so good. (I do not agree with Piper's criticism of Instone-Brewer's use of the Jewish background in this case. Using information on the first-century schools of Hillel and Shammai and their respective views on divorce is a staple of evangelical interpretation of Matthew 19, and rightly so, since the occasion was the Pharisees' question in Matt 19:3, which clearly reflect their own first-century Jewish context.)
At this point, however, Instone-Brewer proceeds to make an argument from silence. He says that Jesus did not only defend adultery as a grounds of divorce per Deut 24:1, he also "didn't reject the other ground for divorce in the Old Testament," divorce for neglect, based on Exod 21:10–11. Instone-Brewer's logic here eludes me. He seems to be saying that unless Jesus explicitly stated that divorce was not allowed in cases of neglect, we must assume he allowed for it (a classic argument from silence). This logic seems less than compelling to me, however, just as arguments from silence often tend to be rather precarious. How did Instone-Brewer get from an exception (however understood) that Jesus explicitly made to an exception he supposedly implied? (I realize Instone-Brewer says that Jesus did not have to make this explicit, since it was universally believed, but I would still like to see demonstration of a more direct connection with New Testament teaching here.) In terms of contextual exegesis, Jesus was simply addressing a question posed to him (Matt 19:3; see above); hence it seems that Exod 21:10–11 does not enter in to the discussion at Matt 19:9 at all as far as I can see. At this point, then, Instone-Brewer does seem to move from biblical exegesis to Jewish background, and does not have clear scriptural support (as Piper alleges more globally).
In his response to Instone-Brewer's piece, then, John Piper states at the outset that in his view "the implication of this article is that every marriage I am aware of could already have legitimately ended in divorce." (As will be seen below, I share this concern, though I do not agree that this requires the "betrothal view," essentially a "no divorce under any circumstances" position, as Piper seems to imply.) Piper first turns to Instone-Brewer's reasoning from Exod 21:10–11, correctly (in my view) identifying this as an argument from silence and questioning several other aspects of Instone-Brewer's interpretation of this passage. Next, Piper turns to Instone-Brewer's handling of the exception clause in Matt 19:9 in relation to Deut 24:1. Piper contends that Jesus disagreed with Deut 24:1 rather than merely clarifying the meaning of the passage (as Instone-Brewer contends), citing Mark 10:4–9. Instead, Jesus went all the way back to the beginning and reiterated God's perfect plan for marriage as a lifelong union between one man and one woman. I agree with Piper that this is what Jesus does in Matthew 19, except for the one exception Jesus explicitly states in Matt 19:9 (a crucial point), which Piper leaves aside initially.
But this is the exact point that is debated. I certainly agree that Jesus upheld and reaffirmed God's original intention for marriage as a permanent, lifelong union, but the crux interpretum here is what is meant by "except for porneia" in Matt 19:9. I contend that in this case (adultery/sexual immorality), Jesus allowed an exception. Piper agrees that there is an exception, but he defines porneia as referring exclusively to breaking an engagement, something for which he has in my view insufficient exegetical and lexical support (see Chapter in God, Marriage & Family). This is not the place to critique Piper's version of the "betrothal view"; I have done so at length elsewhere, and maintain that what I have said in God, Marriage & Family is the most plausible understanding of the "exception clause" despite Piper's response in What Jesus Demands from the World (remember that the "betrothal view" is held by a minority and that understanding porneia more broadly in Matt 19:9 has wide support among conservative evangelical commentators). As several individuals commenting at Justin Taylor's blog have rightly pointed out, Piper's reading of porneia in Matt 19:9 as exclusively referring to breaking an engagement does not constitute the most natural reading of the word in this passage but rather seems contrived, perhaps reflecting an effort to protect the notion of the indissolubility of marriage under all circumstances (though I am aware that Piper believes his reading is the best way to exegete the passage).
Thus I agree with Piper's criticism of Instone-Brewer's treatment of Exod 21:10–11 yet disagree with his criticism of Instone-Brewer's handling of Matt 19:9 and Deut 24:1. Here, then, is the important point: Piper's concern that Instone-Brewer "tragically widens the grounds of legitimate divorce" largely pertains to Instone-Brewer's inclusion of spousal neglect as a legitimate grounds of divorce on the basis of Exod 21:10–11, which I also reject, while it does not equally apply to the understanding of the exception clause as allowing divorce in cases of adultery. The latter is an exception made in continuity with the Old Testament (where adultery was punishable by stoning), and Jesus does not mandate divorce in the case of adultery but merely allows for it. Moreover, adultery is the sole exception made by Jesus (plus abandonment by Paul, 1 Cor 7:15-16) and can be clearly delineated so that it does not amount to opening the floodgates to indiscriminate divorce as Piper fears.
To the contrary, I would ask us to consider whether elevating the scriptural ideal (with Jesus as the bridegroom "who will never divorce his wife and take another," to quote Piper, citing Eph 5:25) without allowing divorce even in cases of spousal adultery may be going beyond Scripture and thus is pastorally doubtful. I continue to maintain, therefore, that affirming a high view of marriage as Jesus did while allowing exceptions for divorce in cases of adultery and abandonment remains the option that is exegetically most defensible and pastorally most sensible.
Let me qualify this post by saying I have not read ALL the posts above so this question may have already been asked.
I was wondering…if adultery was punishable by death…wouldn't this render the divorce discussion BECAUSE of adultery moot?
Additionally, wouldn't this also mean that there MUST be other ground for divorce because if the one who committed adultery is dead, there is no need to expand on what to do after their adultery was discovered…right?
The first step any one is to take concerning DIVORCE, is they have to read what Jesus says in matthew 23:8,9,10 and then be in position to know the mind and heart of God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit concerning divorce.

i will be glad to share with more on this subject
Kostenberger at least tries in engage DIB's scholarship in some sense, but misunderstands part of it and therefore makes DIB's arguments weaker than they actually are. Again, a Berean will need to actually READ DIB for themselves and not expect an opponent to present the author's arguments.
DIB discusses his results in summary form here: http://www.playmobible.org/videos.html.
Kostenberger's mistakes are:
1. He misses that Mat 19:3 sets the context for all that follows. Jesus is responding to the question about the Hillel "Any Matter" divorce and not a general question about divorce. So Jesus did not discuss Ex 21:10 as he was not asked about it.
2. He misses that Jesus corrects 7 misinterpretations of the Pharisees on marriage and divorce, so his silence in the case of the other interpretations is more compelling than it might appear. In summary (see DIB or my teaching for details), the Pharisees taught 8 things about marriage and 8 things about divorce; Jesus was asked about 1 thing about divorce (Hillel's "Any Matter" divorce); but before he could answer it he needed to correct some other misunderstandings and ended up correcting 7 of the 16 things Pharisees taught. (In other words, Jesus was not reticent to correct the Pharisees, so if he disagreed with something else they taught, that would have been a great time to correct it.)
3. He misses that adultery is NOT the sole exception allowing divorce as taught by Jesus, rather adultery is the only valid reason mentioned in Deu 24:1, per the question.
Leslie McFall has an interesting way to deal with the so-called exception clause in Matthew 19:9 that appears to allow for divorce and remarriage for marriage unfaithfulness.
He has written a 43 page paper that reviews the changes in the Greek made by Erasmus that effect the way Matthew 19:9 has been translated. I reviewed McFall's paper at Except For Fornication Clause of Matthew 19:9. I would love to hear some feedback on this position.
If you are abandoned or divorced by a non-practicing believer who forces a divorced upon you. If you have sat willing to reconcile without any desire from the spouse who divorced you. Does the Bible allow you to remarry without either you or your new spouse from sinning? (Luke 16:18)
Dr Les McFall critique on Instone-Brewer found within this document
I've been wrestling with this problem for many years as when I was in college I drifted away from the Lord and married a man who had been abandoned by his first wife after 18 months of marriage. I had enough presence of mind to seek the advice of my preacher and elders at the time and was told that since he was abandoned, even though he was not a NT Christian, he was free to remarry. I have since sought counsel several other times and have received the same answer but I myself still wrestle with it. We've had a less than perfect marriage but we have several children. I am not looking for an easy way out, prefering to stay and hopefully see him converted; however, I don't wish to stay if I am living in adultery by doing so. It is hard, as I still am unsure….Thank you for your work. Anna
Thank you Dr. Köstenberger for the review of Dr. Instone Brewer's articles. I think some of the comments that resulted from the discussion have brought some very salient points to the argument. Such as the need for church discipline – otherwise your attending a country club and not a church, the need for involvement by the church versus Piper's and unfortunately many others position to crucify all parties regardless of circumstances. Much unlike the story of the good Samaritan but rather the unrighteous characters in that story. From what I have read of Piper's article, he would seem to condemn all parties involved because of the actions and free moral choice of just one. A action that I cannot find biblical support for.(save for the guilty one only) Much of this same ideology I observed when I lived and attended school in NC and is very prevalent here in West TN also. What I sincerely do believe we need is a more biblical practice of restoration within the churches, less respect of persons in regards to the "d" word and more practice of Galatians:6:1: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
The gamut of responses and the attitudes that come with them that I have seen remind me more and more every day of the characters written about in the gospels, pharisees, scribes, Samaritans. It brings to mind Jesus's Words in
Matthew 5:20: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
I struggle with the responses of many "RELIGIOUS" teachers when comparing their teachings on the subject while I read about Joseph in Matthew 1:19: Then Joseph her husband, BEING A JUST MAN , and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
That clause BEING A JUST MAN just flies into the face of many of these traditional party lines on how to handle divorce.
THEIR IS a deeper point here, while we never can escape the letter and always should hold it in highest regard, we must also seek the spirit of that law, otherwise we are dead and deal in death
to those who need our savior the most.
I fear that far too many of my brethren have diverted to worshiping the letter of the law and have also forgotten the same spirit of that law.
I again thank you for the thoughtful, balanced and intellectual response to the writings , I just discovered your responses tonight and will try to read them all at length here soon. I might then desire to ask a few more questions on the matter that have not been covered. If you would humor me. Blessings
Your Brother in Christ,
Gene from ODBC
On the subject of abuse, I think Jaye Adams is dead right. If a believer is sinning seriously in that way in the marriage then Matt 18, church discipline is involved which ends in the person being treated as an unbeliever, if unrepentant. As a matter of safety, if serious, the person should leave the marital home, and then if there is no repentance still this constitutes not being willing to live AS a spouse. Divorce is acceptable.
The sad fact of the matter is that many Christians stay in abuse marriages because they are being spiritually abused by church leaders who say they must not leave, or at least are made to feel that way.
A widow is free to re-marry and be cared for by the church, however, a divorced woman is not given this gift by Jesus.
As an ordinary layman who read the article in Christianity Today, I must say that what I took away from it as being important was that someone had finally showed that the divorce of a truly abusive spouse was OK.
All of this profound exegetical talk by you folks doesn't trickle down to the sheep.
"Good folks" wilfully refuse to acknowledge I Tim. 5:8: that if the "believer" does the abandoning by way of failure to support his wife, he is an unbeliever — actually, worse. Such sustained, unrepentant behavior would be grounds for divorce in light of I Cor. 7:13 if he does not consent to live with her.
Honestly, that so many good folks would hold this inexplicable notion that abandonment is grounds for divorce if an unbeliever does the abandoning, but not if a believer does it, is incomprehensible to me.
Hi everyone
In light of so many questions with few answers forthcoming, I hope it wil be acceptable as a new contributor if I submit some possible answers from my own studies to some of the queries that have been posed on the forum.
[Question 1:
So you think Jesus is allowing divorce in the case of abandonment but not in the case of neglect? I'm curious what you see as the difference between the two. Is it just a matter of degree? That will make it very difficult to judge the cases in the middle. Or is there some criterion required for abandonment that isn't true of the cases you're referring to as neglect?]
DGH answers:
I believe the answer lies on not what "Jesus is allowing" specifically, but what the New Testament as a whole teaches on legitimate grounds for divorce. In I Cor 7:15, it appears that The Holy Spirit though Paul is expanding the grounds for divorce though abandonment by saying "But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart: a brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases."
Notice, however, that the abandonment is that of an unbeliever.
[Question 2:
Maybe it's related to that, and maybe it's not, but I'm also interested in what you think about cases of abuse. I know some people count that as a kind of abandonment, but if you're distinguishing between abandonment and neglect I'm less sure what you'd say about abuse.]
DGH answers:
Again, Paul's allowance in 1st Cor 7:15 is for desertion by an unbeliever, whereby many evangelical scholars believe they are free to remarry without sin. The distinguishing factor may be when scripture says specifically that in cases of an unbeliever's desertion, they are "not under bondage in such cases", but the same is not taught regarding abuse. In cases of abuse, I believe another verse from 1 Cor 7:10-11 is applicable. It says "Now to the married I command, [yet] not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from [her] husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to [her] husband. And a husband is not to divorce [his] wife."
So the phrase "But even if she does depart" could be a clause that covers cases of all other reasons for departure, including spousal abuse, where Paul commands that she either be reconciled (perhaps after he repents and she is out of physical danger), or remain unmarried. Why remain unmarried? Possibly because remarriage in such cases where it is not due to marital infidelity or an unbeliever's desertion would result in the adultery spoken of in Matthew 19 and Roman's 7.
[Question 3:
One of the strengths of Instone-Brewer's article is that he addresses spousal abuse, which is the most pastorally sensitive issue. Would you please give your thoughts on divorce or separation because of spousal abuse (including the different types of spousal abuse such as physical, verbal, sexual, etc.)?]
DGH answers:
If her life and limb are in danger, it could be dangerous to require her to stay in that situation, but without it being a legitimate scriptural exception, she will remain bound to her spouse (Romans 7:1-3), and remarriage to another would result in adultery. I realize that this very notion causes many to cry "unfair" but from what bias? Without meaning to be glib, I believe sometimes the reason lies in our westernized "Brady bunch" type of thinking, where the very notion of never getting to remarry without incurring sin seems incomprehensibly unjust to many. Such predisposed emotional bias often leads to new "interpretations" which render impotent Christ's strict teaching on divorce and remarriage. These interpretations soon gain momentum in some cases, even among conservative evangelicals. Instead of appealing to the Grace of God to "fix" such an injustice, I believe we should trust that God's grace will abound to those who choose to obey him and remain unmarried, as they were commanded, and their reward in heaven will be far greater than any earthly pleasure. (Romans 8:18)
[Question 4:
How do you explain Jesus' teachings in Mark 10:2-11 and Luke 16:18? He offers no exception clause in either Mark or Luke. In light of this, it seems to me that the betrothal view makes sense. What do you think?]
DGH answers:
This is a long held argument regarding the betrothal view, but I believe the answer lies in understanding that Matthew's account in chapter 19 expound on the subject in greater detail. It does not mean there is a contradiction. Keep in mind that it certainly appears as if Mark is the parallel account of Matthew 19. The similarities are too numerous to be two separate occasions (coming to Judah…..beyond the Jordan…….Pharisees asking questions…Jesus citing Moses' "hardness of your hearts" allowance….etc). So how could Mark be the "true" meaning of marital divorce, while Matthew is the meaning of "betrothal" if they are the same account?
I hope this helps, and perhaps gives rise to even more discussion on this important topic!
Your arguments are good, well balanced, and above all scriptural. However, what do you do with persistent marital abuse, either physical or emotional? Are you saying in either case, no matter to what degree, there are no grounds for divorce?
In your view, would a repentant adulterer put his/her non-adulterous spouse under biblical obligation to receive him/her back?
Or, would the non-adulterous spouse still have "grounds" for divorce (in your view) even if the adulterous spouse repented and sought (with God's help) to take every step necessary to be restored in the marriage?
Thank you for considering this question.
Jordan T.
Dr. Kostenberger,
How do you explain Jesus' teachings in Mark 10:2-11 and Luke 16:18? He offers no exception clause in either Mark or Luke. In light of this, it seems to me that the betrothal view makes sense. What do you think?
I read that article by Instone-Brewer when I first got the issue, and that was the first time I had heard that open of a view. In my heart I want to agree with John Piper because I would not want to give anyone an "excuse" or "out" of their marriage covenant. However, the text must govern us, because no doubt we would all be in trouble in we always let our heart govern our theology. Thank you for your thoughts and review here,
Thank you for this. I've ordered, and plan to read, both yours and one of I-B's books.
So do you think that Exod 21:10–11 is irrelevant, misinterpreted by I-B, or is superceded by Jesus? If the latter, is that supercession also an argument from silence, or does it build on the parektos / mē epi clauses?
(FWIW, my position has been the same as what I take you as setting out, above.)
Aren't the things contemplated in Ex 21 tantamount to abandonment: if someone lacks adequate food and clothing, and gets no sex from her husband, I'd argue she's been abandoned.
We know that neglected children should be taken from parents. Neglect has a well defined legal meaning. It isn't nebulous.
Thank you for responding to these articles, Dr. Kosternberger. I am trying discern what the Scripture teaches about divorce and remarriage. For me, reconciling the passages in Scripture that speak of marrigae and divorce is much more than a hermeneutical debate. The implications are very personally. Thanks again for the concern and the sober reply.
Dr. Kostenberger,
One of the strengths of Instone-Brewer's article is that he addresses spousal abuse, which is the most pastorally sensitive issue. Would you please give your thoughts on divorce or separation because of spousal abuse (including the different types of spousal abuse such as physical, verbal, sexual, etc.)?
Andy Chance
Thank you so much for your work! I am wrestling through this issue and this was very helpful to me in my ministry. Please keep writing!
Wait, you allow for abandonment.
If so, then why not just see all the Exodus requirement as specifications of abandonment.
If a man stops feeding his wife, having sex with her, or providing her shelter and clothes, he IS abandoning her, even if she lives in the house.
Good point to piper.
I wonder about some things though. Can a man who beats his wife, or threatens to beat his wife be divorced legitimately?
Can a man who decides to stop having relations with his wife (her marital rites) in the Exodus situation be divorced by his wife?
He isn't really treating her as his spouse at all if he does that, so in what sense do they possess a marriage anyway? It would seem that to deny divorce in the case of denial of marital intimacy would be to countenance a man's faithfulness to his marriage who had stopped one of the very things that defines marriage.
Piper's "well, nobody honors his wife perfectly, therefor any marriage can end in divorce" fails to distinguish between feeble honor and active dishonor and active shaming.
So you think Jesus is allowing divorce in the case of abandonment but not in the case of neglect? I'm curious what you see as the difference between the two. Is it just a matter of degree? That will make it very difficult to judge the cases in the middle. Or is there some criterion required for abandonment that isn't true of the cases you're referring to as neglect?
Maybe it's related to that, and maybe it's not, but I'm also interested in what you think about cases of abuse. I know some people count that as a kind of abandonment, but if you're distinguishing between abandonment and neglect I'm less sure what you'd say about abuse.

Shakib Al Hasan to Sehwag, OUT, bye bye Sehwag! Just goes back to the leg side and pushes a slightly short ball in the air to Tamim at short extra cover, stationed there for this very shot
V Sehwag c Tamim Iqbal b Shakib Al Hasan 52 (70m 51b 9x4 0x6) SR: 101.96
Shahadat Hossain to Gambhir, OUT, edged and taken! Gambhir gets sucked in by one that pitches short of a length and sits up more than anticipated, but truth be told he had no business chasing it and ends up snicking a rising catch to the wicketkeeper, cuing wild celebrations from Bangladesh
G Gambhir c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Shahadat Hossain 23 (74m 44b 3x4 0x6) SR: 52.27
Shahadat Hossain to Dravid, OUT, bowled em! Shadahat pitches much fuller, searching for that yorker length, and Dravid plays all over it as he looks to work it the on side
R Dravid b Shahadat Hossain 4 (17m 10b 1x4 0x6) SR: 40.00
Shakib Al Hasan to Laxman, OUT, what a dismissal! Smart work from Mushfiqur behind the stumps! Shakib tosses it up on middle and leg and beats Laxman in the flight, he skips out and looks to flick the ball but gets an inside edge onto the pads, then loses balance after playing the loose shot and in that time Mushfiqur picks up the rolling ball and breaks the sticks
VVS Laxman st †Mushfiqur Rahim b Shakib Al Hasan 7 (50m 30b 0x4 0x6) SR: 23.33
Shakib Al Hasan to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, that's a very soft dismissal, full toss lobbed straight to mid-on, he chips down the track on seeing the flight but doesn't hit it with any conviction, hardly gets the desired elevation and it's a dolly for Rubel
Yuvraj Singh c Rubel Hossain b Shakib Al Hasan 12 (41m 31b 0x4 1x6) SR: 38.70
Shahadat Hossain to Karthik, OUT, the bowling change has worked! Shahadat swings it away and pitches it up outside off, induces him to go for the spooned drive, he chips it low and Raqibul times his dive really well at gully and pulls it off inches off the turf
KD Karthik c Raqibul Hasan b Shahadat Hossain 0 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Shahadat Hossain to Mishra, OUT, and he's gone! Aims for the yorker, ends up a low full toss, but crucially he gets a hint of reverse and strikes Mishra flush on the boot in front of about leg stump
A Mishra lbw b Shahadat Hossain 14 (49m 41b 1x4 0x6) SR: 34.14
Shakib Al Hasan to Khan, OUT, eight down, and Shakib has four! Zaheer pushes forward, the ball goes on with the arm, takes the smallest inside edge and pops up to the falling silly point
Z Khan c Raqibul Hasan b Shakib Al Hasan 11 (28m 18b 2x4 0x6) SR: 61.11
Shahadat Hossain to Sharma, OUT, edged and taken, the angle works as the ball pitches back of a length and leaves Ishant who stands there and gives Mushfiqur catching practice
I Sharma c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Shahadat Hossain 1 (41m 24b 0x4 0x6) SR: 4.16
Shakib Al Hasan to Sreesanth, OUT, all over, and five for the captain! Pitches well outside leg stump and turns in to Sreesanth who tries to turn it away past short leg but instead gets a leading edge that balloons up and settles in silly point's hands as he takes a few steps back
S Sreesanth c Imrul Kayes b Shakib Al Hasan 1 (13m 12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 8.33

Known him a long time and that was not the first time he beat her. He also killed a man in texas and got away with it. Get YOUR facts straight. I suppose YOU gad a bird's eye view? He has been a thief and liar for a long time. But you know, birds of a feather...
#7 Aug 8, 2012
did you not read the article in the Lawton Constitution? Yes, all adjectives used by me fit him to a "T". Kiss my ass before you accuse me of gossip. He is worse than an old woman with his gossip and the shit he stirred. Chew on that before you accuse me of anything else. I am entitled to my opinion also and not a member of his fan club. He sucks and I hope he fries.

not gossip when I know first hand he stole from me and others. But catapult him to sainthood; he killed his wife and he should be heralded as a hometown cowboy hero just like so much trash around here has been. Done with this thread; when you speak the truth you always have a few jackasses that want to TRY to contradict and lie. Ask Lorraine's brother and her daughter if they weren't abused women and children in that home sweet home. He is an old, filthy, crazy person who deserves the same kind of punishment he meted out to his wife. Just sayin'.
#11 Aug 10, 2012
Actually I did and of course I believe every thing the media prints. If I read an article that stated you are ignorant, fat, ugly and you killed a man in Texas it would be the gospel truth. I would believe every word simply because I read it in the Lawton paper. Really dont need any proof. Sounds reasonable dont you think? My point is if you were not there to witness the incident, then you really dont know what happened that time or any other time. Have you talked with any of the family members? How about the daughter and grandkids.
There is no need for any kissing or chewing. I will leave that up to you. I have a life and choose to be positive and proactive, not bitter, negative and full of half truths and lies.

Going Green in Napa At Long Last
By Melanie Haiken on October 2, 2009
The Napa Valley is known the world over for wine making and grape growing, but oddly, it's never been a particularly environmentally enlightened region. For one thing, growing grapes requires a great deal of water and — unless they're organic — quite a lot of pesticides, too. Not to mention that the sheer number of […]

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Dennis Seidenberg's wrist shot deflected off of Patrice Bergeron and barely crossed to goal line, but it was enough to give the Bruins a 2-1 win in overtime to beat the injury-ridden Ottawa Senators at the TD Garden. The goal, Bergeron's fourth of the season, underwent video review but was ruled that it crossed the goal line to give the B's their fifth win in a row. Their record improves to 13-2-2 and Boston is now one point behind Montreal for 1st place in the Eastern Conference with three games in hand.
Tuukka Rask made 30 saves, including a huge kick save on a breakaway opportunity by Senators center Kyle Turris midway through the second period. He also had two key saves during a high tempo, end-to-end overtime period. Having won his last five starts, Rask's record has improved to 11-1-2. He has stopped 100 out of 103 shots in the last three games.
Nathan Horton started off the scoring with a goal (7) 5:48 into the 2nd period off a Dougie Hamilton assist in front of the Ottawa net. Milan Lucic also picked up an assist on the goal after having a great checking shift in the offensive end that kept the puck in the zone.
The Senators would answer 14:38 into the 2nd period after a breakaway by Kaspars Daugavins was stopped by Rask. The puck remained loose in the crease and Jim O'Brien would knock in the straggling puck for his fifth goal of the season. Rask was visibly upset after letting in the goal with under 20 seconds left on the power play. The goal snapped the Bruins penalty kill streak at 27 straight.
Ottawa goaltender Robin Lehner was very strong between the pipes, stopping 44 of the 46 shots he faced. Fortunately for the Bruins, he just wasn't quite strong enough.
Notes: The Bruins improve to 9-0-0 on the year when scoring first. But they also went 0 for 3 on the power play, though they did total 10 shots on net however. Boston is now 0 for 26 at home with the man advantage.
The Bruins will look to make it six straight wins in a matinee match-up against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. The puck drops at 1 PM.

I'm using this quadstepper board and am controlling it with a lilypad arduino 328 attached to a lilypad Xbee, linked to an Xbee explorer USB on a Mac. All seems to be working fine.
On the schematic, the VOUT seems to be provided by an LM317 Voltage regulator which is rated to 1.5A, so I'm planning on using the VOUT Pin to power the lilypads (The Xbee would use most power, it draws 215ma at 3.3V).
Does anyone know any reason why this wouldn't work or isn't a good idea?

Today in History: World's Fair Opening 1939
As millions descend on Shanghai for the opening of the world's fair this weekend, we take a look back at New York's 1939 World's Fair, which opened on this date 71 years ago. The theme that year was 'The World of Tomorrow.'
Below is a home movie made from the Fair and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's speech to open the fair at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens.
The Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company created a time capsule for the Fair, which was buried 50 feet below Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The contents, pictured at right, included 35 everyday items, 75 types of fabric, seeds, metals, and plastics as well as millions of 'micro files' with literature, current events, and contemporary art. There is a full list here.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt opened New York's World Fair at Flushing Meadows
Special thanks to WNYC's archivist Andy Lanset.
Governor Lehman, Mayor LaGuardia, President Grover Whalen, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have seen only a small fraction of the Fair; but even from the little I have seen, I am able to congratulate all of you who conceived and planned the Fair and all you men and women who built it.
From henceforth in our history the thirtieth day of April will have a dual significance: the Inauguration of the First President of the United States, which began the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, and the opening of the New York World's Fair of 1939.
Today, also, the cycle of sesquicentennial commemorations is complete. Two years ago, in Philadelphia and other communities, was celebrated the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which gave to us the form of Government under which we have lived ever since. Last year was celebrated in many States the ratification of the Constitution by the Original Thirteen States. On March fourth of this year the first meeting of the First Congress was commemorated at a distinguished gathering in the House of Representatives in the National Capitol. And two weeks ago, on April fourteenth, I went to Mount Vernon with the Cabinet in memory of that day, exactly one hundred and fifty years before, when General Washington was formally notified of his election as President.
As you remember, two days later he left that home he loved so well and proceeded by easy stages to New York, greeted with triumphal arches and flower-strewn streets in the large communities through which he passed on his way to this city. Fortunately, there have been preserved for us many generations later, accounts of his taking of the oath of office on April thirtieth on the balcony of the old Federal Hall. In a scene of republican simplicity and surrounded by the great men of the time, most of whom had served with him in the cause of independence through the Revolution, the oath was administered to him by the Chancellor of the State of New York, Robert R. Livingston. And so we, in New York, have a very personal connection with that thirtieth of April, one hundred and fifty years ago.
The permanent Government of the United States had become a fact. The period of Revolution and the critical days that followed were over. The long future lay ahead.
In the framework of Government which had been devised, and in the early years of its administration, it is of enormous significance to us today that those early leaders successfully planned for such use of the Constitution as would fit it to a constantly expanding nation. That the original framework was capable of expansion from its application to thirteen states with less than four million people, to its newer application to forty-eight states with more than one hundred and thirty million people, is the best tribute to the vision of the Fathers. In this it stands unique in the whole history of the world, for no other form of Government has remained unchanged so long and seen, at the same time, any comparable expansion of population or of area.
It is significant that the astounding changes and advances in almost every phase of human life have made necessary so relatively few changes in the Constitution itself. All of the earlier Amendments may be accepted by us as a part of the original Constitution because that sacred Bill of Rights, which guaranteed and has maintained personal liberty through freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly, was already popularly accepted by the inhabitants of thirteen states while the Constitution itself was in the process of ratification.
There followed the Amendments which put an end to the practice of human slavery, and a number of later Amendments which made our practice of Government more direct, including the extension of the franchise to the women of the nation. And we remember also that the only restrictive Amendment which deliberately took away one form of wholly personal liberty was, after a trial, an unhappy trial, of a few years, overwhelmingly repealed.
Only once has the permanence of the Constitution been threatened. It was threatened by an internal war brought about principally by the very fact of the expansion of American civilization across the continent—a threat that resulted eventually and happily in a closer union than ever before.
And of these later years—these very recent years—the history books of the next generation will set it forth that sectionalism and regional jealousies diminished, and that the people of every part of our land acquired a national solidarity of economic and social thought such as had never been seen before.
That has been accomplished, that it has been done, has been due first to our form of government itself, and, secondly, to a spirit of wise tolerance which, with few exceptions, has been our American rule. We in the United States, and, indeed, in all the Americas, North America, Central America and South America, we remember that our population stems from many races and kindreds and tongues. Often, I think, we Americans offer up a silent prayer that on the continent of Europe, from which the American hemisphere was principally colonized, the years to come will break down many barriers to intercourse between nations—barriers which may be historic, but which so greatly, through all the centuries, have led to strife and have hindered friendship and normal intercourse.
The United States stands today as a completely homogeneous nation, similar in its civilization from Coast to Coast and from North to South, united in a common purpose to work for the greatest good of the greatest number, united in the desire to move forward to better things in the use of its great resources of nature and its even greater resources of intelligent, educated manhood and womanhood, united in its desire to encourage peace and good will among all the nations of the earth.
Born of that unity of purpose, that knowledge of strength, that singleness of ideal, two great Expositions, one at each end of our Continent, mark this year in which we live. And it is fitting that they commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of our permanent government.
Opened two months ago, the Exposition on the magic island in San Francisco Bay presents to visitors from all the world a view of the amazing development of our own Far West and of our neighbors of the American continent and the nations of the Pacific and its Isles.
Here at the New York World's Fair of 1939 many nations are also represented -- indeed most of the nations of the world and the theme is "The World of Tomorrow."
This general, and I might almost say spontaneous, participation by other countries is a gesture of friendship and good will toward the United States for which I render most grateful thanks. It is not through the physical exhibits alone that this gesture has manifested itself. The magic of modern communications makes possible a continuing participation by word of mouth itself. Already, on Sunday afternoon radio programs, no fewer than 17 foreign nations have shown their good will to this country since the first of January this year.
In many instances the Chiefs of State of these nations, these nations who have taken part in the programs have spoken, and in every case the principal speaker has extended greetings to the President of the United States. And so in this place and at this time, as we open the New York World's Fair, I desire to thank all of them and to assure them that we, as a nation, heartily reciprocate all of their cordial sentiments.
All who come to this World's Fair in New York and to the Exposition in San Francisco will, I need not tell them, receive the heartiest of welcomes. They will find that the eyes of the United States are fixed on the future. Yes, our wagon is still hitched to a star.
But it is a star of friendship, a star of progress for mankind, a star of greater happiness and less hardship, a star of international good will, and, above all, a star of peace.
May the months to come carry us forward in the rays of that eternal hope.
And so, my friends, the time has come for me to announce with solemnity, perhaps, but with great happiness, a fact: I hereby dedicate the New York World's Fair of 1939, and I declare it open to all mankind.

GreenFormat, the free, Web-based database of green product information developed by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), has gone live at www.greenformat.com. The new CSI format provides a standardized framework for identifying building product sustainability information, organized by its MasterFormat divisions to ensure product search results are spec-friendly.
According to CSI, building product manufacturers enter products into the database, answering questions about their products' sustainable properties. The online questionnaire requires manufacturers to provide information on compliance with standards and certifications to verify sustainability claims. GreenFormat incorporates LEED Green Building Rating System requirements, among others, to help specifiers achieve green project goals. The database will be continuously updated. Search results are downloadable.

WTHR Health and Fitness Expo kicks off
The inaugural WTHR Health and Fitness Expo kicked off Saturday morning with a fitness walk at 9:00 am. Reporters Mary Milz, Jennie Runevitch and Carrie Cline took part, and that's just the beginning of an action-packed weekend at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
In addition to dozens of free health screenings and cooking demonstrations, Saturday highlights include the Radio Disney Experience at 10:40 am, a presentation by SkyTrak Weather meteorologists at noon, Indianapolis Colts Community spokesperson Josh Bleill at 1:00 pm and Colts quarterback Andrew Luck at 3:00 pm. There's plenty of fun for the whole family!
Noon update: People were lining up to get into the Exposition Hall this morning. If you're planning on heading to the expo today, we're open until 5:00 pm!
Josh Bleill
WTHR has documented Josh Bleill's long journey from a devastating injury in Iraq back home to Indianapolis where he now shares a message of hope and inspiration as the Colts community spokesperson.
Bleill is a double amputee who was determined to return home standing up and walking. He achieved that incredible goal. The retired Marine is now married with two children.
"It's an honor to be a part of this. I think it's gonna be a great day. I'm excited to get it started," said Bleill.
Fitness was a huge part of Bleill's recovery process.
"I've been at the height of my fitness in the Marine Corps and after being injured I was at the bottom. So it doesn't matter where you are. It's just about getting that first step and getting educated. The Expo's gonna be a great place to get an education and get inspired. We have a lot of great speakers today so I'm just gonna get up there and tell my story a little bit," he said.
David Boudia
Noblesville native and Olympic gold medalist David Boudia takes center stage at 11:00 am Sunday to talk about achieving your goals. That's something he knows a little about, having won the gold medal in the men's ten-meter platform diving in the London Olympics last summer. He also took home a bronze medal for synchro platform.
Boudia says he'll bring a message of encouragement.
"I'm targeting specifically what a perspective towards a goal looks like," said Boudia. "I'll break it down baby step by baby step because that's how I work; that's how my mind functions."
Boudia is encouraging everyone to "live healthy, eat right and just have a lifestyle that is good for their family and for themselves."
Boudia says his message is for kids and adults alike.
"I'm still working on the nitty gritty of it but there's some very entertaining and exciting things in it and also some things that are very general and broad and can be taken away to help the family," he said.
Boudia has had quite a year since winning the gold medal in London last summer.
"The word to describe it is whirlwind. I can't believe nine months ago it happened and since then so many things have happened," he said.
His appearance on the show "Splash" is helping to keep his momentum in the spotlight going.
"People are coming up to me now more from that show and forgetting about the gold medal!" he joked. Still, he said, "It's a fun and encouraging credential to have."

Living in the U.S., I've heard so much about Bioderma Crealine H2O Solution Micellaire. European bloggers and vloggers have recommended this product as a gentle, effective, and very inexpensive makeup remover on a consistent basis. Lisa Eldridge has recommended this product in five videos, including her "French Pharmacie Favorite Skincare."
As many of you already know, Bioderma Crealine is a "micellaire water," which is a clear makeup remover that looks like water but has many more gentle and effective ingredients, including typically very small oil particles. You soak a little on a cotton pad, whisk across the face, and obtain soft, cleansed and moisturized skin.
Right now, Bioderma Crealine is so cheap it's practically running out of the faucets here in France— you can get two giant bottles for under 20 euros and it's available everywhere. As I'm paying about $30-60 for a much smaller quantity of makeup remover oils, I couldn't resist trying it. I added this tiny travel sized bottle for 4.95 euros to my overloaded arms at the local Monoprix to find out…is it really that good?
The answer is "yes." It's gentle, it takes off everything (including mascara, sunscreen, and bb cream) with the greatest of ease. My skin is left feeling soft and hydrated. It's lovely.
The problem in that in the States, no stores carry the product near me close to this price. So one of its major selling features in Europe (the affordability) isn't so. New London Pharmacy carries the product at $48 for a single bottle. Although Mon Guide Sante lists this two-pack at $24-ish, shipping these heavy, bulky bottles to my U.S. address adds another $39 bringing the total to $63. Under those circumstances, the Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water at Sephora begins to look quite reasonable at $39 for one bottle (adding another $11 to your cart gets free shipping).
Bottom line–awesome if you live in Europe or near a reasonably priced source. As your total price ratchets up, I'd explore another micellaire option. If you have any U.S. recommendations (high or low end, given our options) we'd love to hear about them!

Roasted Vegetable Couscous
Welcome to Group A's April installment of Secret Recipe Club! Every month I wait with baited breath to see what amazing blog I get partnered with and this month I was thrilled to see a blog I was very (VERY) familiar with. I have been following Evelyne's Cheap Ethnic Eats since before there was a Dancing Veggies and it was after stumbling onto the International Incident Party link-ups that I decided to take my (now) hubby's offer to build me a blog. So a HUGE thanks to Evelyne (and the other blogs of IIP) for inspiring me to go forth and blog! Needless to say picking one recipe from her blog was a rather difficult task but I was able to narrow things down to a top 10 by focusing on recipes that featured ingredients or cooking styles that are outside my normal range. Which is why I was debating such things as Coconut Brownie Waffles, Greek Yogurt Cheesecake, and Multi-Vegetable Paella before settling on her Roasted Vegetable Couscous. For the most part I stick with recipes that are either on the stove or in the oven as I'm normally restricted on cooking time thanks to the fur children. However some rather intense weather freed up the time normally reserved for dog walking, so I decided to heat up the kitchen and get to work!
1 yellow squash, sliced and quartered (about 1 cup)
1 zucchini, sliced and quartered (about 1 cup)
1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups pre-soaked chickpeas, well rinsed
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
4 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup golden raisins
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dry couscous
- Preheat oven to 375
- Place the squash, zucchini, and mushrooms in a roasting pan and top with half of the olive oil. Roasted for 20 minutes, then remove pan and add the tomatoes. Roast for a final 10 minutes.
- Towards the end of the roasting time heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan, add the garlic and red onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the seasonings and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and add to the pan with the onion/garlic.
- Add the stock, raisins, chickpeas tomato paste, salt and couscous. Bring mixture to a boil, then stir, cover, and turn heat down to low. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, or until couscous has finished cooking.
- Serve and enjoy!
I switched up the vegetables from the original recipe, but that's one of the awesome things about this recipe – anything will work! I also cooked the couscous directly in the sauce in order to save a dish, which resulted in some ultra flavorful couscous, and added more chickpeas instead of serving it with the tofu since DH is on a no-soy diet. In the future I might be tempted to just do all the veggies in a saute pan rather then roasting, but there is something to be said about a fresh roasted tomato. All in all another awesome recipe thanks to Cheap Ethnic Eats and the Secret Recipe Club!

Tom and Jerry's Giant Adventure (2013)
39 mistakes
Directed by: Spike Brandt, Tony Cervone
Starring: Garrison Keillor, Grey DeLisle, Grey Griffin, Jacob Bertrand, Paul Reubens, Thomas F. Wilson
Vote on more movies at The Big Fat List
Continuity mistake: Jack puts his hat back on as Mr. Ginormous is challenging him to a fight. He keeps his hands on his hat like he's trying to hold it on in a wind storm. The angle changes to behind him and suddenly his arms are down at his side.
Continuity mistake: After the failed attempt to drop a mace on Mr. Ginormous' head, the giant grabs Jack, Tom, and Jerry and taunts them. He then throws them onto the table and Jack's hat comes off and flies away from him. Shot changes angle to Jack trying to sit up and pop off at Ginormous and suddenly his hat is right next to him.
Continuity mistake: When they find the Golden Goose in Ginormous' safe, it has the chain and padlock on its left leg. After Jerry picks the lock, it comes off its right leg.
Continuity mistake: Jack is shown scaling across the thread they bridged between the wall shelf and the painting, and he gets half way across while Farmer O'Dell is distracting Mr. Ginormous with his recitation. Yet when it shows him again, Jack has made barely any distance across the thread at all.
Continuity mistake: Getting into the clock, Tom breaks off one of the weights next to the pendulum off its chain. Yet as they are on the top of the clock about to stretch across to a wall shelf, the weight is back on the chain.
Continuity mistake: When Tom is sliding down the thread on the grandfather clock, he looks down at the rug below. The mouse trap that was there that they used to catapult Jerry up the clock has vanished.
Continuity mistake: During his musical number, Mr. Ginormous takes the Shoe House from the "Little old lady that lived in the shoe" and puts it on his foot to wear, ripping the roof off and forcing the residence out. Yet a little later, as the people of Fairyland realize that Jack is the Jack from the prophecy, the little old lady and the kids are shown back in their shoe house, with it perfectly fine and back to the way it was.
Continuity mistake: In his musical number, Mr. Ginormous steps on the cart of pumpkins and splats them everywhere, sending full ones rolling also. Throughout the rest of the scene, all evidence of splattered or scattered pumpkins has completely vanished.
Continuity mistake: The Fairyland Treasurer and his wagon of pumpkins is standing next to King Cole as Mr. Ginormous walks up. But in the shot where the giant comes right up to King Cole, the Treasurer and his wagon vanish, only to reappear in the next shot.
Continuity mistake: Once Jack puts the beans in the ground, Jerry covers them up with dirt and pats it down flat. The dirt is perfectly level with the rest of the ground. Then Jack yawns and stretches, and it cuts back to Tom and Jerry. Suddenly the dirt covering the beans is a small mound sticking up with Jerry standing on it.
Continuity mistake: After Jerry slaps the tag on Tom's box to ship him to Africa, Tom busts out and the tag is torn and on the side of the box towards the street and Jack. After Jack pulls Tom out of the box, the tag is suddenly on the other side of the box with Jerry standing on it, and it seems to be in one piece.
Continuity mistake: After hearing the news that Mr. Bigley will be tearing down Storybook Town tomorrow, Tom puts himself in a cardboard box on the side of the road to give himself up for adoption. Jerry comes over and packs him in the box and slaps a tag on it to ship Tom to Africa. But Tom busts his head out the top of the box and looks at Jack with sad eyes. From this angle, the part of the box where he popped his head through is straight around the edges and fits up him like a collar. Jerry is standing beside his head with both his hands on his hips. The shot cuts to behind Tom, and suddenly the break of the box around Tom's neck is jagged and ripped and not straight, and Jerry suddenly has one hand on his hip, and resting his head on the other.
Continuity mistake: Once Jerry gets Tom's attention by smacking him over the head with the violin bow, they look down and see the tub that Hermione will be jumping into. This view shows it completely dry with no water, and the bottom of the tub being once solid piece. Then after Tom slides down the rope and dashes to look in for a closer look, it is show that there are now some small water puddles in the tub, and the bottom is made of many boards.
Continuity mistake: When Jack sees Mr. Bigley's car drive up, the car pulls in from the left of the gate and is facing right, coming to a stop like that. Then after Jack races to go get his mom, it comes back to Mr. Bigley getting out of his car and suddenly it is facing the other direction, facing left of the gate.
Continuity mistake: Jack gives his cow, Hermione, a hug with both arms around her neck. But when the camera cuts to behind them as he sees Mr. Bigley drive up, suddenly Jack's left arm is down. Then it cuts back to a frontal view and his arm is back up around Hermione's neck again.
Continuity mistake: After being launched from the rollercoaster, Tom and Jerry land in the cow's feeding troth and begin skidding at high speed towards the Shoe House. The view from Tom and Jerry's shoulders on the approach shows bars in the windows of the house. It cuts to a side view of the house as the duo are about to slam into it and suddenly the bars vanish. The age damage on the house also vanishes between shots.
Continuity mistake: The Pumpkin house comes to a stop once it smashes into the mouth of the mechanical Moby Dick. The door of the house is facing the extreme away from Moby Dick, out away from it. The camera cuts to a close up of Jerry exiting the house, very dizzy, and suddenly the house is turned to be facing away from Moby Dick diagonally. You can tell by the position of the teeth visible.The doorknob also appears between shots.
Continuity mistake: After seeing Mr. Bigley's car pull up, Jack takes off to inform his mom thinking they have a customer. As he is running up to their trailer, the window to the right of the door is shown to have the top part above the door. The as the camera cuts to a closer view as Jack begins trying to open the door, the window is below the level of the top of the door.
Continuity mistake: As Jack reaches the fairgrounds looking for the circus, he sees the train about to leave. The far shot shows some workers by the ramp of one of the train cars, with an elephant partly sticking out of the side, but nobody is moving at all. It cuts to a closer view and suddenly, instantly they are moving the elephant inside.
Continuity mistake: Still singing, Jack takes Hermione by her rope and begins leading her, with Tom on her back, though the gate of Storybook Town. His left hand is holding her rope. The shot cuts to them walking through the gate area, and suddenly his right hand is holding her rope.
