"Fell in love with the bed in the store but after 30 days we are picking a new one. The bed feels completely different with the mattress protector and sheets then it does without. It is a soft pillowy bed but for us it was too soft and didn't feel too supportive. We had more aches and pains than with our old mattress. The quality of the bed is not the concern as we are going o pick a different tempuredic model. Went to the mattress store and tried some regular coil beds but after sleeping on this bed for thirty days can't pick a coil bed now as I can't deal with the bouncy feeling. "

" We decided that evaluating a bed should be longer than just a week or a month of sleep. So my wife and I are happy to announce our 7 month experience of sleeping on a Tempur Cloud Luxe Split King/ Ergo Advanced bed. It was delivered to us on Aug. 9th, 2012. Thanks to Daniel Tolliver at The Bed Store, store manager at Turkey Creek, his patience and personal explanation and demonstration sold us on buying our new bed. We were actually next door purchasing a foam wedge at Bed Bath & Beyond when my wife suggested we visit The Bed Store. I bought the wedge to help me sleep, because of the well that developed on my side of the bed. After visiting the LeSleep, that same day I returned the foam wedge for a full refund. Today, every time I turn or get up out of bed, it automatically readjusts itself to its original shape. We each have our bed settings for reading, watching TV and of course personally adjusted for our nightly sleep. Our Tempur Cloud Luxe offers both of us the most relaxed night of uninterrupted sleep and we often sleep a full eight hours every night together with our dog Wally a Bichon. Sometimes we enjoy this bed so much that we don't want to get up, but one of us has to walk our dog. In the past we would get up early, because of all sorts of aches and pains, not anymore. I often wonder why we waited so long. Now we both look forward to sleeping in our bed, however Wally our dog is already in bed before us. You can tell that he likes it too. "

"Purchaseed a Cloud Lux and we are still boring our friends talking about how we look forward to bedtime. Sleeping better than ever and waking without stiffness, back pain, neck pain, or shoulder pain. Like how we no longer wake each other because movement on one side does not disturbe the other side. It's easy/comfortable to sit up in bed to watch TV etc. Very expensive, but worth the cost to get better sleep."
Recommended? Yes
"I bought a floor model (1K off and barely slept on). It felt much softer on the showroom floor. What I learned after was that your house temp has alot to do with mattress feel! Apparently the showroom was kept at 70 degrees which is much warmer on average then my house, thus the softer feel there. I find that I get sore as it feels like I bottom out to the firmer layers even being barely 140 lbs. My wife ended up adding a layer of foam on top and now she like the lux. The salesman suggested using a heating pad on low for an hour or so before going to bed. Will try it. May not be necessery in summer, hopefully. "

"We have had our Tempurpedic mattress for over a week. We slept good the very first night and on. We bought the king size with two seperate mattresses with our own controls. We love it! Some people complain about the smell. Ours just smells new but nothing serious. So far we love it! "
Recommended? Yes
"TEMPUR-Cloud Luxe & Ergo Advanced Foundation. A bit pricey but worth it. Love this bed. Maybe the best $5,199.00 I've ever spent. Mattress is great and the Adjustable foundation just makes it better! Would never sleep on anything other than a Tempur-pedic again. You get what you pay for and what you get is the best nights sleep ever! So don't hesitate. If you can afford it... do it you won't regret it! Thanks Sleeping great in Mobile Al."
"LOVED the Cloud Luxe before it was broke in... that lasted three days. I find this bed has absolutely no support. Sore lower back in the mornings. Need to sleep in the guest room after a while to get over the luxe and then can go back to it for a short while. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! Too Expensive to not love every night. It broke down really fast. (test it yourself, feel the strength of the sides- there is none ..... so then where is the support... there is none.) The regular Cloud is much more comfortable and much much more durable. Can't go wrong. ( and surprisingly, softer is what I THOUGHT I prefer, FIRMER is what I am happiest with! Live and Learn.)"
Recommended? Yes
"I shopped Tempurpedic and Sleep Number for about 2 years before making a decision and settling on the Cloud Luxe. I have joint/pain issues at night, fibromyagia and recent shoulder surgery. I hoped that purchasing this bed would minimize my pain, but I didn't expect it to be so immediate. My first night with the bed, I woke up without a sore back and shoulder. I knew immediately that it was well worth the price, I just wished I didn't wait so long! The first few nights, the bed was a little firmer than the floor model and it did have an odor. It's now been one week exactly and the bed has broken in and the smell is almost gone. I noticed a drastic improvement of both by the 3rd night. I wouldn't trade this bed for anything. It's made a huge difference in my life. If you have chronic pain, the Cloud very well could reduce or eliminate it. Love my bed!"
Recommended? Yes
"This is my 3rd bed in 10 years and hopefully my last! I had a Sleep Number bed and hated it. It was just a very expensive air mattress. Sleep Number didn't stand by any warranty claims. I really wanted a Tempurpedic Bed for my next bed but was gun shy because of the price. I then bought a Simmons 4000 plush mattress and after 1.5 years it caved on the side. They replaced it and it caved again. I then decided to buy the "bed I really wanted". I laid on all of the Tempurpedic beds with out looking at prices and fell in love with the Tempur-Cloud Luxe! It was a weak (and wise) moment that I bought the bed with the advanced ergo base. Right when I was placing the order for the bed at the store, my mom called and told me to double the order, she wanted one also! Major sticker shock to buy 2 queen tempurpedic cloud-luxe with ergo bases but it was the best investment I have ever made. We have had these beds for 4 months and this has solved all of my sleeping issues which I though would be impossible. We had no "off gassing" smells that others have reported. At first, I thought the bed seemed hard when I first laid on it but then it is like the bed melts around me and conforms to me. I used to toss and turn all night and I now wake up in the same position I went to sleep in. It is soft but has great support. The only negative - they didn't have cloud pillows so I bought a Rhapsody pillow and this pillow is hard. Unfortunately I couldn't return them. So, love the bed, hate the pillow. I hope this bed lasts for 20 years as I love it."
Recommended? Yes
"So I was in the market for a new bed. We moved from a full to a king so the space alone is great, but that is not what makes the bed great. The bed is incredibly soft, but never feels like there is a lack of support. I could go on about how much we love our new bed, but I am sure it has been said a million times alreay. With that said I will tell you about my complaint instead. The bed is impossible to get out of in the morning. After a nights sleep the warm cacoon like comfort this bed provides my snooze button seems to get the brunt of my fist more and more often. So thanks Tempurpedic for making me late to work."
Recommended? Yes
"I have been thinking about this purchase for eight months. I finally took the plunge and made the decision and it's been night 10 for me. I cannot wait to crawl into bed. This has been anything but disappointing and just as comfortable as I imagined. I'm currently getting acclimated to such a drastic change from my old mattress to my Queen sized Cloud Luxe. I can't complain about anything I've experienced and I just can't stop telling people about my bed. It is squishy-soft and I sink softly into this pillow-feel that hugs me back. I used to take sleeping medication to fall asleep and I used to have terrible back and spinal pain during the day. I had no idea they were both caused by the pain and discomfort of my old mattress (which was a hand-me-down my grandmother purchased herself). Daily I look forward to going back to bed--how sad! In short... my only complaint is the price. My bank nearly broke and I'll be paying this off for a short while. Still worth every penny!"
Recommended? Yes
"I was reluctant like most people about spending this much on a bed. After the first night of sleeping on the Luxe i could kick myself for not doing it sooner. I had a back surgery 10 years ago always seemed to wake up on my last four high end named beds that i owned with a aching back. But after the first night on the Luxe my back felt great! I have had the best night sleep every night since my purchase.I highly recommend this mattress. You will not be sorry as i am now a customer for life!"
Recommended? Yes
"I have spent the last decade sleeping on two innerspring mattresses, tossing and turning every 45 minutes or hour due to hip/shoulder pressure point pain and back pain and waking up exhausted and with a sore back. Finally went shopping for a Tempurpedic. I knew the Cloud Luxe was The One the minute I tried it in the store. Yes I spent a wad on it but with a little down payment and the free financing it's completely doable. We've had it for two months now and I've never regreted it. Yes it was a little stinky at first. Opened the window, turned on the ceiling fan the first afternoon, no big deal. The smell diminished each day, within a week it was mostly gone. Just pop a dryer sheet in your pillow case or under your fitted sheet for a few days. And yes, it will be a little firmer the first few nights then what you tried in the store. My back hurt at first because it wasn't used to the support, plus our old mattress sagged so it wasn't used to a flat surface either. One thing I did notice was that right from the very first night I have never again, not once, been awakened by pressure point pain in my hip and shoulder. I sleep for hours at a time now or even all night and I feel so much better in the morning then I have for literally years. I wish I hadn't waited so long to buy this bed! I will never own another stupid inner spring mattress again, ever! I marked this 3 stars for value because I do think they could probably do better on the pricing. But even so, I still consider it well worth for many years of getting a pain free good nights sleep."
"We bought this bed because of all the reviews. I was disappointed with my purchase. First of all don't buy a tempur-pedic mattress if you want to sweat all night this mattress is very hot and We do not get a good night sleep being hot all night. I was not informed on that when I purchased it and if I was told that I would not of purchased it. I purchased the split king and the only sheets I can find to fit the extra long twin size are 100.00 a set and are thin as paper. The only part of this mattress set I like is the fact that I bought the adjustable base. A very disappointed customer."
"I'm not very picky when it come to sleep, I can sleep any where except this Cloud Lux has a very squeezy feel, it's like being tied up and sinking into a sink hole. I can't move, I can't sit up the way I do with other springy mattress. I woke up with a sore back every night, going to sleep is no more fun, this one is not for me. A 50 bucks mattress would do a lot better than this tanker."
"Own a tp deluxe king from 2005 medium firm feel, went to guest room. Purchased king tp cloud luxe soft feel, initially the bed feels great as you sink in, but wasn't getting quality sleep and started waking up with a sore lower back. Purchased the bed from mattress firm with a 100 day return policy, we are on day 90. My girlfriend has had no problems due to being a back sleeper, but I am a side sleeper and can't seem to shake the lower back stiffness, we are going to return it and exchange for the tp allure king which has a medium firmness and a pillow top soft feel to it. Hopefully this will take care of the back stiffness and better night sleep! I will always be a tp customer, just have to find the right feel. Thank god for the return policy!"

"Recently purchased this bed from hhgregg in Asheville, NC. After paying about five times more than Id planned on I had very high expectations. I can't put into words how satisfied I am with my Tempur-Cloud Luxe. I am 22-years old, I don't have arthritis, diabetes or chronic back pain, but after sleeping in this bed, I feel more energized all day with less sleep. I no longer experience the occasional lower back, neck and shoulder pain. I don't even snore anymore. Tempurpedic truly makes an amazing product. I also highly recommend making your purchase at hhgregg. excellent customer service, 24 months no interest, and they gave me an LG TV half off with the purchase. If you're considering the Cloud-Luxe, pull the trigger. It'll be the best investment you ever made."
"I was so excited to buy this mattress and had heard good things from my dad. I went online and bought this mattress and after about 6 months both my husband and I started having back issues and they are getting worse. We saw doctors and chiropractors and all have agreed it was our mattress. We called the company and spoke with someone about our problem, but they said there was nothing they could do for us. All we were asking for, was for a firmer mattress and we were going to pay for it but didn't want to pay for two mattresses. I thought we were dealing with a repritable company that would stand by their products by clearly they do not. I will never buy another product not will I say anything good about this company. My $2500 mattress has costed my another $5000 in chiropractor bills. Thanks tempur-pedic for showing your real colors. I am hoping this saves someone else from making a mistake by supporting this company. "

"If you can afford $4K for a bed, DO IT!!!!! Its worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY, if your going to spend a couple grand on a bed, don't cheap out, just get this bed, I truly cant describe the feel, its one of those things like driving a FERRARI, you wont be able to truly simulate the experience until it actually becomes a reality, and when it does, it certainly exceeds any set expectations. JUST AMAZING!!! ( plus you have a trial period if your skeptical) :-)"
Recommended? Yes
"Love the comfort and not being able to feel someone get in and out of bed. Does help with back ache, especially when you raise the foot of the bed. Love to tilt the head of the bed to read and watch TV! Pricy! Worth it! Get a little warm, but am getting used to that. Would by again."

Godshill Path Network
Parish boundaries shown relate to the boundaries that existed in 1952; there are 67 paths referenced on the IW Definitive Map for Godshill
Public Rights of Way were first given their definitive map numbers during the original survey in 1950. Each borough, urban district and parish were asked to mark on the maps relevant to their area all paths they considered public, numbering them as they were entered. On further investigation, some of these were paths were eliminated from the final 1952 definitive map as not public thus creating gaps in the numbering sequence; paths that have become extinct since 1952 have also been removed.

At Adventure Park USA, visitors amble, shriek, and laugh through a sprawling 17.5 acres replete with Old West–themed rides and attractions such as the Wildcat roller coaster, which dips and curves around a track in order to elicit screams of joy akin to Steven Tyler on Christmas morning. Outdoor diversions such as bumper boats and go-karts stoke competitive fires, and a collection of little tykes rides invite pintsize riders to spin in teacups or gallop on carousel horseback. Open year-round, a 22,000-square-foot indoor playzone thumbs its nose at inclement weather with laser tag, an arcade, a ropes course, and a climbing wall.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company is devoted to both reinterpreting and staging traditional renditions of plays from the Bard and those who were influenced by him. Since its first production of Romeo and Juliet in 1986, the company has blossomed into a diverse, highly practiced proponent and preservationist of the playwright's works.
Across 5,000 square feet and two levels of obstacle-laden territory, taggers crouch around corners, rain lightning from the towers, and blend in with the dense vapor of the king's electric fog machine. During each 15-minute round, young squires can defend the keep for themselves or align with fellow beam archers in the name of the queen, the fiefdom, or love. To the victor go the bragging rights and a seat at the round table at home for family taco night.

I was watching a show on TV the other day and it was about how people were paid to implode a building or tear it down just to build something new, bigger, or better. I thought it was such a waste of how they destroyed everything and didn't try to save any of the building materials.
It reminded me of the time long ago when my Daddy bought the old Horse Creek Baptist Church that had to be torn down to build the new one that we have now. It was in the early 70's and my Daddy knew that there would be plenty of salvageable building materials in that old church that could be used again.
An auction was held on the church's ground and when the gavel fell at the end of the day Daddy was the highest bidder. There was only one stipulation to the purchase, whomever got the bid had just 6 months to have it torn down and everything removed.
There wasn't anything wrong with the old church except the fact that the congregation had grown to where they needed more room. The old church had been built when carpenters took pride in their work and used only the best of materials. Daddy knew that he could use the salvaged material from the church.
The demolition was slow tedious work. We tried to save everything. The first thing we removed was the oak hardwood floor from the auditorium and anywhere else that was covered with the flooring. It was beautiful. There were thousands of pieces ranging in size from two feet to twelve feet.
We loaded the hardwood into Daddy's old pickup and transported the wood to the loft in our barn. It was like an assembly line with each of us passing the pieces hand to hand to the loft and then stacking them neatly to make sure they wouldn't warp. It took many trips to get all of the wood to the barn.
Next, we took out the large windows from the auditorium. The windows were huge. Each set had two large 12-paned windows about 4 feet wide x 5 feet tall. We got them all out without breaking a one. One of the neatest things about the big windows was the heavy iron ballast in the window sash that were tied by a rope to the heavy windows to make raising them easier. I had never seen any like that before.
After removing everything from the inside of the church we started taking it down starting with the roof. We put up the longest ladder we could find on the lowest side of the church and climbed up. Near the ladder, the ground was probably still 30 or so feet down and on the high side it was 40-50 feet to the bottom. It was scary just to look down.
Once on top of the roof we still had to have another shorter ladder to take down the steeple. After that was done we started removing about 3 layers of old shingles from the huge roof. The work was slow and the sun was hot. I hated the job because I was so high up and the ground so far away. It made me nervous, to say the least.
The first half of the day the job went pretty fast but I sure was glad when dinnertime came and I got to put my feet on solid ground. After a sandwich and a pop we took a short break and then climbed the ladder to the roof again. I really did hate this job.
Working from the eve of the roof (the very top) we shoveled the removed shingles down the roof and over the edge to the ground. I had been cautioned several times that day to be aware of loose shingles and to never step on top of one but I wasn't careful enough.
A couple of hours after dinner I was trying to hurry and finish the job I hated so much when I stepped on a loose shingle. My foot slid out from under me and my butt hit the roof with a thud. Down the roof I started sliding fast towards the edge with my hands grasping for anything to stop the slide.
I was screaming for help but there wasn't anything anyone could do, it happened so fast. I was panicking as I tried desperately to stop my slide with my feet and my bare hands with no luck. It didn't look good as I neared the edge of the old church. I thought for sure that I was a goner.
Then, a miracle happened. With only about two feet to go from the edge of the roof an old nail sticking up from the under side of the roof, that had been bent down underneath the shingles, pierced deep into the palm of my left hand. Suddenly my slide was stopped.
I really believe that if it hadn't been for the old rusty nail that someone had left years ago during construction I would not have survived that long fall.
When I got down from the roof of that old church that day I thought that if I could have found out who left the old rusty nail, I would have thanked them. Little did he know that his mistake would be the only thing that stopped my slide and save my life.
I then realized that the Lord was really the one who I needed to thank because he must have known that the old rusty nail would be needed one day to catch me. I felt he was surely the one who allowed the carpenter to miss his mark on that day so long ago.
Oh and by the way, Daddy ended up building three rent houses from the materials we saved from the church.
When I was growing up very few people could afford a car or a truck and many had never even seen a tractor, much less owned one. That's why almost every family had to have a mule to just survive. Times were tough and a mule was versatile. He could be ridden on the bad muddy roads where a car couldn't dream of going or across the mountain where there were no roads. He could be used to plow the garden, pull a wagon or drag logs out of the hills for building purposes or for firewood.
But today, mules are almost a thing of the past. So for those who don't know much about a mule, here is a little history lesson before my story starts.
A mule is the sterile hybrid of any two equines of dissimilar species. The most common hybrid is of the male ass, known as a Jack, and the female horse, or mare. However, the opposite cross is not all that uncommon, and mule people tend to call this offspring of a male (stud) horse and a female ass (Jenny), a hinny.
Mules are sterile and cannot reproduce. This does not affect the normal sex drive, though, and mules will breed, although they can not conceive. There have been stories through the years of mare mules giving birth, but to my knowledge, none have been substantiated.
Mules will often grow to a size larger than either parent, and they live longer than the horse. They tend to have more endurance and strength than a horse of the same size, and they tend to be easier keepers. As a general rule, a mule will stay fat on pasture where a horse might not do so well. They are disease resistant and are more tolerant of heat and cold. All in all, it costs less money to keep a mule.
Mules tend to develop trusting relationships with the rider or owner. If treated well a mule will be your best friend, but mistreat him just once and he will neither forgive nor forget. Many a good mule has been ruined by one single fit of temper.
Mules are generally more intelligent than horses. Mules and asses both share a very well developed sense of self preservation. Seldom will a mule allow you to put him in a dangerous situation, nor will he allow himself to be overworked. Caution in a mule is often mistaken for stubbornness and the uninitiated usually wind up regretting any attempt at forcing the animal to submit. That's where the old saying "as stubborn as a mule" comes from.
The mule became the most important animal to a mountain family and my family was lucky just to be able to afford one when I was growing up. Every family depended on the mule to help raise a garden to feed their family and have enough to put up for the cold snowy winters. So when our mule got sick, it was serious business.
One year our mule had gotten out of the pasture and wondered into a neighbor's green corn field and gorged himself on the tasty corn. Daddy said old Jim had eaten so much that he was foundered. He could tell by the way Jim's belly was swelling up. I was told that this is where the old saying "as sick as a mule" came from.
The only veterinarian was a black man who lived on Town Branch named Snooks Drake but we couldn't get up with him. So Daddy then turned to Pap Paw Burkhart who had once doctored one of his mules back to health after doing the same thing as old Jim had, so he sent me to get Pap Paw and bring him back to the field where Jim was. Pap Paw on the way out of the house grabbed a box of Arm and Hammer baking soda from the cabinet and followed me back to the field. He looked Jim over and came to the same conclusion, too much green corn.
Pap Paw then said he needed a few things to administer his remedy from the house. He said go get me an empty pop bottle and a piece of rubber hose. He told us any hose would work, so we cut a piece for the garden hose and hurried back to the field by the barn. Pap Paw then poured baking soda into the pop bottle and filled the rest of the bottle to the top with water. The mixture began to fizz like crazy!
The water hose was then fitted over the neck of the pop bottle and inserted into Jim's mouth and down his throat, much to his dismay. But as I said earlier, mules are smart and I believe old Jim knew that we were trying to help him so he didn't act like he cared too much. Either that or he was just too sick to refuse the hose.
After the bottle of soda and water was down Jim's throat, he began to get a little uneasy. He began to move around nervously while Daddy held the halter tight so that he couldn't escape and run off. The mixture then caused air to escape out of both the mouth and his rear end as Jim bucked and kicked while his belly swelled up bigger and bigger.
Pap Paw told us we had done all he could so Daddy turned old Jim a loose and he ran out of sight through the field passing gas with every step. "Now, we just have to wait and see if it works," Pap Paw said.
Next morning, we were up at dawn to check on Jim to see if the medicine had worked. We didn't have to go too far. Just past the last place we saw Jim go the night before lay his stiff body on the side of the hill across the branch from the field. Old Jim was dead.
Now we had a dead mule and no way to bury him. It was early summer and the hot sun made Jim swell bigger and bigger with each passing day. After the third day in the sun old, Jim just exploded. It looked as if a grenade had went off inside him.
Times sure were hard back then and Jim's death made it even harder. He had given his all for many years to help raise our family and I felt so sorry for him lying there wasting away. I knew that Jim deserved better but there wasn't anything else I could do.
I quietly said a few words over Jim as tears streamed down my face. I then turned away from his carcass to walk home and never return anymore. I only wanted to remember him as the way he was, not just as a mule but as a member of the family who had always done his best.
I got call last week from a very nice lady about my recent story on 'Strings'. Her name was Helen Day of Crane Creek. She was telling me how much she enjoyed my stories and went on to ask me why I didn't write anything in my story about a 'whizzer'?
Well to tell you the truth, I had to ask her just what was a 'whizzer'? It didn't take long before I knew exactly what she was talking about. So let me tell you about our conversation.
Helen told me, "A 'whizzer' is where you take a string and thread it through two holes in a big coat button and tie the string's ends together in a loop. Next, place the string over your 'hooked' first (or fore) finger on each hand. Then, you start swinging the button in a circular motion to 'wind' the strings two sides together over and over again twirling the button around and around. After that just spread you hands apart and the button will whirl over and over again each time you spread and contract your hands"
I told Helen, "Your not going to believe me but I just forgot to put it in. I thought about it lying in bed one night, but when it got to writing my story, I forgot to put it in."
It was perpetual motion over and over as the button spin faster and faster when we spread and contracted our hands. It also made a humming sound as the big button reached blinding speeds.
I didn't know that they were called a 'whizzer' even though that toy was one of my favorites. I think we called the toy a 'hummer' (But that name would never work today, would it).
I also remembered another toy after I wrote my last story that involved a string. It was in the late 60's or early 70's when someone in our family bought a toy called 'Clackers'.
Clackers were nothing more that two solid, thick glass (or later on, hard plastic) balls tied to each end of a heavy duty nylon string about two feet long. By holding the middle of the string and moving the forearm and hand in a constant up-and-down motion the thick glass balls to collide first at the bottom (below the hand) and, when enough bounce was achieved, the top (above the hand) as the bounced back and forth.
Once you got the rhythm of the motion going, the collision of the balls striking each other made a loud "clacking" noise thus the name. The faster you moved your forearm and hand up and down the faster and louder the annoying noise would get.
I remember lots of bruises on my forearms and hand that were caused the heavy glass balls until I got the hang of it. I also remember once getting hit in the head with one of them and believe me; it left a knot on my head big enough for a calf to suck on!
Many a parent was driven to profanity by this nerve-racking noise, but that was only the start of the 'Clackers' problems.
Not long after that, Momma found out on evening news that the Clackers had another danger, a hidden one. When the Clackers were smacked together long enough and hard enough those thick glass balls would shatter, sending glass shrapnel everywhere.
After hearing that, Momma said that the Clackers had to go and Daddy was glad to oblige her.
I can still see the Clackers' balls swapping end over end as they flew through the air and wrap around a limb in the top of that big oak tree behind our house. I told Daddy he sure was good with those Clackers and asked if he had been playing with them while we weren't watching.
He then asked me "Why?"
I laughed told him, "Well, judging from the way you threw those balls. You threw those just like David, from the Bible, when he killed Goliath with his sling."
I was reminded again by the way he looked at me that Daddy didn't have a good sense of humor sometimes. On my way back to the house I considered myself lucky that I didn't get a red butt to go along with that big knot on my head.
Yep, just when Clackers got interesting, the press caused the toy company to cease production. Clackers then forever moved into the realm of schoolyard rumor and urban legend.
Clackers did make a comeback later in the 90's but they were of the safer (in other words, more boring) plastic kind that didn't have the bounce or the noise that the glass ones had and they fizzled out fast.
I would really like to have a set of the old glass ones if someone has a pair lying around their house somewhere. I just want to see if I still got the rhythm.
Who today would ever think that a simple string could entertain a kid. Well, nobody today. I'm sure of that. But back in the days when I was young, little things like a string were special. When you got a hold of good string it was a treasure and not to be thrown away.
I remember the first time I saw my Daddy take a simple string tied in a loop make a "teacup and saucer". I asked, "How did you do that?"
He then took the string and placed it up my two hands. Slowly Daddy showed me the technique and then, I was hooked. From teacups and saucers to crows-feet and cat's cradle and then to see-saws and the hardest of all, Jacobs ladder, Daddy showed me all the moves. I carried that string in my pocket or around my neck forever showing everyone I met how Daddy had turned a simple string into a poor boy's toy.
I also used a string to make my first bow to shoot stickweeds at rabbits, birds, ground squirrels and even a stray dog or two. I never did kill anything, I didn't really want too. But it was fun to imagine my self as a young brave with a rooster's tail-feather tied with another string around my head as I hunted the forest around my home.
String was sometimes used a miniature coral to keep up my small plastic horses, cows and pigs. At other times the string would be a barbwire fence to hold off the Germans as they attacked the GI's of the American Army. The homeboys always won. Just like my Daddy did in World War II.
I once found an arrowhead at Huey Barger's, a neighbor of ours. I took a string and tied the artifact around my neck as a piece of jewelry. I loved that arrowhead and it hooked me on finding more and more.
We also used string as a telephone. All it took was a couple of Carnation Cream cans with the top cut out smooth. A hole was then put into the other end with a nail. Then, a long string was run through the hole in each and secured by a knot inside the can. When stretched tight enough the sound of our voices could be heard clearly at distances of 50 feet or more. Two string tied to one can became the first party line.
I laughed the other day when I saw the Progresso commercial on TV as the appeared to do the same because I knew it would never carry sound the way they had it.
When I needed a belt to hold up a pair of "passed-down" pants that were too big, a string came in handy. When I broke a shoestring and didn't have one to replace it with I used a doubled piece of string to make do.
A string tied to a stick would make perfect circles in the clean dirt for a game of marbles or a game of hopscotch. String would sometimes be used between two popsicle sticks as a splint to hold a finger straight after a dislocation or an injury.
I once used a string to tie two lead pencils together to cut my writing time in half. I never did chew gum in class again after writing that five-hundred times.
Dad could measure a string or a rope within an inch or two easily. He taught us that a string held by our thumb and forefinger stretched to our armpit would be close to two-feet in most adults.
I also remember Mamma whittling an old empty sewing thread spool down to make us a yo-yo. She split the spool in half, cut them down to about a half-inch wide and joined them with a small wooden dowel through the hole in the middle. The yo-yo was then wound with a string to make another perfect homemade toy.
She once even made us tops with the wooden spools from thread. She would take her whittling knife and shape one end of the spools and then cut another wooden stick from a limb to insert all the way through the center hole, sharpening on end to a point. Her tops would spin forever it seemed.
We also made a toy out of a piece of wood about a quarter-inch thick and 8-1/2 inches long. The edges of the wood were then planned down much like an airplane propeller. Then notches were carved into the edges. A hole was place near the end of the piece of wood and a long string was attached.
When this contraption (I can't remember the real name of what they were called but we called them whirly-birds) was twirled above our heads the vibration made a humming sound like a helicopter.
Mamma taught us how to make stilts. Daddy showed us how to make slingshots. Both were great working with everyday things we could find around the house.
We might not have had a lot of money to buy toys with when we were growing up but with two parents like mine we were never bored. They showed us how to have fun. Real fun that never cost a penny. And for that, I am forever grateful.
\They say that time heals all hearts and if that's so, I'm still waiting.
Holidays are the toughest for me now it seems. Thanksgiving and Christmas just aren't the same anymore.
When my Momma and Daddy were alive every holiday meant a house full of family. So many that there was barely enough room at the two big tables.
I realize now that my parents were the glue that held the rest of the family together. And after they passed my family was broken off into seven different individual pieces.
I know that I'm not the only person around that has gone through these feelings. The story has been told for generations and it will be retold for many more. I just didn't know how hard it would be.
When I was young I never thought much about mortality. Or maybe, I just didn't want to think about it. I never thought my parents would ever get old, much less die. But time doesn't stop for anyone. And I've found out lately, that the older I get, the faster time goes by.
Lately, I look in the mirror and ask myself, "Who is that old person staring back at me? He sure looks a lot like my Daddy." And then I start to think, "Where does time go?"
Then I walk outside my front door and stare through the quiet, deadness of daybreak. I used to love my alone time as a kid but now, not so much. My step has slowed quiet a bit. A fall might break a bone. My muscles ache more and more from my aging years and it takes longer now just to get my feet moving. I realize now, I am much like my father and my grandfather before him.
But everything isn't gloom, I'm glad to say. In the past three years my two children have blessed Margy and me with three beautiful grandchildren. And boy, are they a handful! I had always heard my Momma and Daddy tell of how strong a grandparents love for grandkids were but I never knew how strong that could be. Now, I know.
It seems my bones and muscles don't ache as much when I look into their gleaming eyes. At least, not until I get home and realize I've overdone it again by playing horsey, pitching them up in the air or just chasing after them all over the house. I'm sure you know how small kids loved to be chased.
But you know what, I go back day after day and do the same things over and over again. Grandchildren will make you do that. Their laughter and smiles more than pay the price for the pain I will feel afterwards.
I wish my parents would have had a chance to meet my three little angels. I can just hear my mother saying, "Bless their little hearts". Momma said that a lot because she loved kids. I guess that would be an understatement knowing the size of our family.
Boy you should have seen us packed into my parent's home on Christmas Day. The grandkids and great-grandkids were like a herd of wild horses running through the house. The older kids would be trying to control them but it was no use. I remember it never seemed to bother Momma. She would never say a word.
The older kids would be dressed in their best clothes for that special day and the women of the family would be showing off their new jewelry or new clothes. I remember once Daddy got Momma a new Aigner leather coat. She screamed like a teenager as she opened up her present. She barely took it off that Christmas day. She would say later, it was the best present Daddy ever got her.
Yep, the holidays sure seemed a lot happier and merrier to me when our big family was together at one house, sitting at one table with Daddy at the head and Momma beside him. They were the glue that held us all together.
We all over ate every year swearing to never do it again as we sat in the living room talking, singing or playing set-back or rummy in the kitchen after the dinner table was cleaned off. The winner always stayed up with losers rotating to challenge them again.
Holidays are just not that way anymore. Everyone now is just too busy. And the sad thing is, I don't think holidays will ever be that way again. I'm starting to realize now that I guess it's just too hard to put the pieces back together after the glue is gone.

Staff Writer
HATFIELD, Ky. - A few short hours after the Saturday edition of the Daily News hit the stands and was delivered to homes containing the first of the "Mingo's Wanted" articles slated to become a regular feature, one of the two fugitives wanted by the Williamson Police Department was arrested in Pike County.
The quick arrest was attributed to the public reading the newspaper article and phoning tips into the WPD as to the whereabouts of John Andrew Slone, 26, formerly of Williamson, who had been indicted in April by the Mingo County Grand Jury on one count of delivery of a Schedule I controlled substance and one count of delivery of a Schedule IV controlled substance.
WPD Chief C.D. Rockel had requested the indictment pertaining to Slone and that of Jerome "Oatmeal" Smith be unsealed to allow the two men's names to be entered into the National Crime Information Center database, and he also wanted to be able to release the information to the public.
"Within an hour or two after the Daily News edition with the "Mingo's Most Wanted" in it was for sell or delivered to their customers, calls began pouring into our department," said Rockel. "After receiving information on the location where Slone was said to be, three of my officers joined Pike County Sheriff's Deputy Billy McCoy and traveled to the residence at Hatfield where Slone was taken into custody without incident."
Upon his arrest, the officers were informed that the fugitive also had outstanding warrants against him from Lawrence and Magoffin Counties for a failure to appear and a contempt of court charge stemming from citations issued for public intoxication and driving on a suspended license for reasons of DUI.
Slone is currently being held in the Pike County Detention Center in Pikeville, where he awaits extradition to Mingo County to face the drug related charges. If all goes as planned, Rockel said Slone would be picked up by his officers sometime today and will be arraigned in Circuit Court by Judge Michael Thornsbury upon his return.
"'Mingo's Most Wanted' is going to be a great thing for all law enforcement agencies in the county who choose to profile the pictures and information on suspects or fugitives they're searching for , cases that have gone cold or those cases where there is little or no information pointing to who committed the crime," said Rockel.
"The quick arrest of Slone is sure-fire proof that this works," said the chief. "Our residents are ready to step up and help us and thanks to 'Mingo's Most Wanted', we now have a way to get the information into their hands."
Rockel and his officers are continuing their search for Jerome "Oatmeal" Smith. If anyone has information regarding this fugitive, you are asked to call the WPD at 304-235-2570. You can provide tips without disclosing your identity; the police are only interested in tips leading to his capture.

Highlights: Amalfi Coast & Islands (Positano)
An exclusive itinerary taking in the best of the Amalfi coast! Upon arrival at Naples, be whisked off to the Amalfi coast, stopping en route to view the fascinating site of Pompeii in the company of an Expert Guide. Enjoy a number of exclusive excursions and tours such as a private tour of the Amalfi coastline, a private tour of Capri with an optional helicopter flight from Capri back to the mainland, and an optional afternoon sailing aboard a traditional wooden vessel on the Mediterranean. Of course, you will want to have some time at leisure to relax in the state of the art spa in the hotel and make some time for exploring at leisure or a round of golf perhaps. Consider adding another few days in this little piece of paradise!
Enjoy a private transfer with a vehicle and English speaking driver from Naples to the Amalfi coast, stopping off at Pompei for a 2 hour guided visit with an English speaking Guide. Your Private Guide will meet you at Pompei and bring you through the fascinating site. Walk through some of the ancient streets of Pompeii where you can see the baths, forums and villas built by the prosperous Romans in the year 80 BC. Marvel at the fabulously preserved frescoes which adorned the walls and floors of the villas. Even if your interests do not lie in history, you will still be incredibly impressed by this massive archaeological site which includes the Amphitheatre, Gymnasium, House of Menandro, The Grand theatre and Small theatre, Gladiators Barracks, Thermal baths, House of Vetti. Continuing en route to the Amalfi coast. (Includes entrances into Pompei).
A welcome package with your vouchers, a city map, train tickets (if relevant) and any other touristic information that we deem you may find useful will be waiting for you upon your arrival at your first hotel on your trip.
Hotel Covo dei Saraceni (5*) is situated in Positano, arguably the most desirable holiday destination on the whole of the Amalfi Coast. Hotel Covo dei Saraceni's light-filled bedrooms and suites are decorated in traditional Mediterranean fashion, using terracotta floor tiles and exquisite items of hand crafted furniture. Guest can expect to see breathtaking views of the sea, from each and every window. An appetizing buffet breakfast is served in the room named after the magnificent bougainvillea plant which takes pride of place between the tables. Guests dining at Hotel Covo dei Saraceni's Savino Restaurant choose from an enticing menu featuring delicious home made pasta dishes and all of Positano's finest fish and seafood specialities. Like the menu, Savino's well-researched wine list never disappoints. The swimming pool and snack bar are located on the roof of the hotel, position from where guests are granted some of the most spectacular views over the town of Positano.
Enjoy a full day private tour of the Amalfi coast with an English speaking guide.
Enjoy lunch at leisure in either the towns of Amalfi or Ravello. A good spot in Amalfi is Pizzeria da Maria- indeed it has been listed as as one of the ten best pizzerias on the Amalfi Coast in more than 1 guidebook. In addition to a selection of pizzas, a wide variety of seafood dishes, and a few pasta dishes are served. Alternatively, Il Mulino, a 200m walk uphill from the town square is another good choice. if you feel like a fine dining experience for lunch (or indeed for dinner), the Villa Cibrone is an excellent choice and is in a fantastically beautiful location. Come before 6pm and you can stroll through the property's extensive landscaped gardens, and take in the marvellous sweeping views of the bay. This place comes highly recommended!
Spend the evening discovering the wonderful world of wine! You will be made feel welcome upon arrival in your hosts' private home situated on a cliff top 1,000 ft above the sea with stunning coastal views. The wine class with dinner with the Sommelier Gennaro will no doubt prove to be an amazing experience for those who appreciate good food and wine. The evening is kicked off by analyzing the wine (visual, olfactory, and tasting analysis) and the sommelier will explain how the wine is made, as well as some giving an insight into the most famous vines of the Campania region. After the initial wine tasting (without food), a food and wine pairing will be done. Because we start small and move to more complex food, you will be able to see the difference with the combination of food and wine. The meal typically consists of olives, salty biscuits, toasted bread with dry tomatoes, pumpkins preserve, cherry tomatoes, caprese, eggplant parmigiana, meatballs, pasta frittata, a mix of more than 10 cheeses, and finally, for desert, cakes with grappa and limoncello - truly a feast fit for a king! The sommelier Gennaro is also a cheese and olive oil taster and Grappa collectionist, so you can be sure that you are in expert hands! If you would like return transportation to be arranged, you can do this in advance through your Sales Advisor, or alternatively, you can arrange a taxi on site.
No visit to the Campania region would be complete without sailing across the Bay of Naples to the beautiful island of Capri. Enjoy a full day private tour with transportation to and from your hotel in Positano, return transfer to Capri on a jetfoil, an English speaking Guide and transportation on the island. With designer boutiques, chic cafes, dramatic scenery , Capri has captured the heart of many a visitor who have sung, written, painted and talked about this enchanting spot. Whilst visiting Capri and Anacapri, enjoy an optional visit to the fabulous villa of Dr Axel Munthe whose best selling book Story of San Michele tells of his time on Capri; or decide to take the chair lift to the top of Mount Solaro a unique and hair raising experience (payable locally). You'll also have your chance to explore Capri Town with its winding streets, many cafes and the lovely Piazza Umberto and the colourful gardens of Augustus overlooking the famed Faraglioni Rocks. Check out the turquoise waters of the blue grotto and if time allows, visit the elegant shops in Capri, stroll along the cobbled streets or simply relax before taking the boat back to the mainland. (Entrances to Villa San Michele and Mount Solaro chair lift are not included in tour price). Once back at Sorrento pier, a vehicle and driver will pick you up and drop you back to your hotel.
Enjoy a beautiful day as you depart from Positano on your private Gozzo Sorrentino (typical wooden boat) and visit the Li Galli Islands. Enjoy a refreshing swim before returning to Positano via Punta Campanella. No sailing experience required as you will be accompanied by a private crew.
Enjoy a private transfer with your own vehicle and driver to Naples airport. Transfer time is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Citizens of other countries may require a visa. Please ask your Sales Advisor. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Embassy of Italy for the most up to date visa information.

John will surely prefer to read his mail in a comfortable mail program. So he needs a way to get access to his mailbox. Two protocols come into play here:
- POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is a simple protocol that lets you fetch email from a single mailbox. It is usually used to collect all emails, though you can also leave them on the server but this is a bit of a hack and you can't create multiple folders on the server to sort your mail. It saves space on the mail server because the email gets moved to the user's hard disk on their computer. But they won't be able to access the same email from another computer. Besides you cannot create multiple folders on the server to sort your mail. There is just the inbox. This variant is antiquated and not exactly user-friendly.
- IMAP (Internet Messaging Application Protocol) is predominantly focused upon leaving your mail on the server but you can also collect it like POP3. The inbox is where your incoming emails are stored but users can also maintain folders and move emails to them. But users can move emails to different directories. IMAP is useful when you want to access your email from different locations without losing mail because you fetched it from another location. The drawback is that lazy users leave their mail on the server thus filling up your server's hard disk (unless you use quotas).
Testing POP3
Let us establish a POP3 connection and retrieve John's email:
$> telnet localhost pop3
The server replies:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready.
Login as John:
user email@example.com
The server should accept that:
Send the password:
pass summersun
The server should recognize the correct password:
+OK Logged in.
Get a list of John's emails:
Dovecot will tell you that one email is in the mailbox:
+OK 1 messages: 1 474 .
Fetch that email number 1:
retr 1
Dovecot sends you the email:
+OK 474 octets Return-Path: <email@example.com> X-Original-To: firstname.lastname@example.com Delivered-To: firstname.lastname@example.com Received: from example.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ... (Postfix) with ESMTP id 692DF379C7 for <email@example.com>; Fri, 18 May 2007 22:59:31 +0200 (CEST) Message-Id: <...> Date: Fri, 18 May 2007 22:59:31 +0200 (CEST) From: email@example.com To: undisclosed-recipients:; Hi John, just wanted to drop you a note. .
Close the connection to the POP3 server:
The server will disconnect you:
+OK Logging out. Connection closed by foreign host.
Of course users won't use TELNET to read their mail. He will use a more comfortable email client. This is just to show you how POP basically works and to make sure Dovecot is behaving correctly.
Test IMAP
Instead of going through the following procedure (IMAP is rather complicated) you may as well just use mutt to create an IMAP connection:
$> mutt -f imap://email@example.com@localhost
Alternatively you can open up a raw IMAP connection to the server and enter the IMAP commands yourself:
$> telnet localhost imap2
You should get a connection:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready.
IMAP commands always start with a number and reply to that command with the same number. So the following commands must be entered with the number at the beginning of each line. Login with username and password:
1 login email@example.com summersun
Dovecot logs you in:
1 OK Logged in.
Ask Dovecot for a list of John's mail folders:
2 list "" "*"
Here comes the list:
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" 2 OK List completed.
Select your inbox:
3 select "INBOX"
Dovecot gives you all kinds of information about that folder:
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted. * 1 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1180039205] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 3] Predicted next UID 3 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed.
You see that one email exists. Fetch it:
4 fetch 1 all
IMAP will just give you basic information on the email:
* 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) INTERNALDATE ......... 4 OK Fetch completed.
To read the actual mail body you need to fetch it explicitly:
5 fetch 1 body[]
Here it comes:
* 1 FETCH (BODY[] {474} Return-Path: <firstname.lastname@example.com> X-Original-To: firstname.lastname@example.com Delivered-To: email@example.com Received: from example.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ... (Postfix) with ESMTP id 692DF379C7 for <firstname.lastname@example.com>; Fri, 18 May 2007 22:59:31 +0200 (CEST) Message-Id: <...> Date: Fri, 18 May 2007 22:59:31 +0200 (CEST) From: email@example.com To: undisclosed-recipients:; Hi John, just wanted to drop you a note. ) 5 OK Fetch completed.
Disconnect from the server:
6 logout
Dovecot logs you out:
* BYE Logging out 6 OK Logout completed. Connection closed by foreign host.
POP3 and IMAP appear to work. You could now use any email program like Kmail, Evolution or Thunderbird/Icedove and set up a POP3 or IMAP email account. The quickest way to check encrypted connections is using mutt again:
$> mutt -f imaps://firstname.lastname@example.com@localhost
If you use other mail programs note that the username will be the email address 'email@example.com' and the password is 'summersun'. You can try these kinds of connections:
- POP3 with TLS/SSL enabled
- IMAP with TLS/SSL enabled
When using TLS/SSL you will probably get a warning that the certificate of the server cannot be trusted. Dovecot creates a self-signed certificate. If you are not happy with the certificate then create your own:
$> openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -nodes -out /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem \
-keyout /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
The certificate and key will be created while you get asked a few questions:
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key .........++++++ ............................++++++ writing new private key to '/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem' ----- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:DE State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Hamburg Locality Name (eg, city) []:Hamburg Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:workaround email service Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []: Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:mailtest.workaround.org Email Address []:email@example.com
Of course you should fill in your own information here. The most important setting is the Common Name which must contain the fully-qualified name of your mail server. Oh, and this certificate will be valid for 10 years (3650 days) - adjust that period as you want.
Do not forget to set the permissions on the private key so that no unauthorized people can read it:
$> chmod o= /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
And you will have to restart Dovecot to make it read your new certificate:
$> /etc/init.d/dovecot restart

Mesquite community notes
The first baby of the New Year at Texas Regional Medical Center at Sunnyvale, Emily Rebecca Servin, didn't make an entrance until 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 2. Her parents are Mayra and Saul Osbaldo Servin of Garland. She weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces. She has two sisters, Breanna and Genesis. "I liked the treatment I received and the hospital's environment," said Mayra Servin, who gave birth to Genesis 16 months ago at TRMC-Sunnyvale and hopes for more children. Mayra said the family has yet to decide how they will celebrate Emily Rebecca's New Year Baby status in the future. - Photo courtesy TRMC-Sunnyvale

Mesquite seeks volunteers for landscape projects
The Mesquite Parks and Recreation Department is seeking volunteers to assist in a planting program of drought-tolerant landscaping at various parks and facilities.
"During the recent drought, we postponed or delayed the replanting of older landscaping or areas where vegetation had died off," said Cliff Keheley, parks and recreation director. "However, we are moving forward with plants which are more tolerant to drought conditions and will serve as examples of water-wise landscaping. This project will be a great opportunity for students, Scouts and any civic organization seeking an opportunity to give back to the community."
The target dates for the planting are February through early March. The department is seeking groups or clubs to select a Saturday during this time period to volunteer to plant a specific area or facility. All volunteer groups will need to provide the labor and tools. The department will provide plant materials, mulch and supervision. Projects range in various sizes and will be planned so all work can be completed in three hours.
Interested groups may contact Parks and Recreation Coordinator Amber Beardsley at 972-216-6419.
