CLAREMONT, N.H. (AP) - Residents in Claremont, N.H., who use the municipal water system no longer have to boil water.
The city lifted its boil order at 10:30 a.m. Friday.
The city had said water samples collected on Tuesday showed fecal coliform or E. coli bacteria were found.
Residents were told not to drink the water without boiling it first.

Does not help with Arthritic conditions at all. Did not like this item. Try to wear them and they do not stay on unless you move them lower on your fingers then you do not have the support where you need it.

I did not even know these finger inserts existed. I have had a severe callous on my finger for years and this was the perfect remedy for my use during bowling. I will be purchasing quite a few of these to have on hand.

The Food & Beverage Operations certificate teaches students how to use their combined creative and business skills to manage the customer side of a restaurant or bar and other foodservice establishments such as a high end retail store, café or hospital.
Program details and next steps:
Food and Beverage Managers are at the heart of the hospitality industry. At the end of the day, a well fed customer is a happy customer. The well-trained food and beverage manager is the one who uses their combined creative and business skills to manage the customer side of a restaurant or bar and other foodservice establishments such as a high end retail store, café, hospital, or school foodservice.
If you are looking to advance your food and beverage management career or gain new skills in this field, then the Certificate in Food & Beverage Operations Program at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh – Online Division might be perfect for you.
The well-trained student will be able to create menus and determine the service needs and then lead the personnel to meet the customer needs. This is accomplished by having an ability to spot foodservice trends, awareness of customer needs, and a grounding in the technical aspects of managing a front of the house operation.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), "Employment of food service managers is expected to decline 3 percent from 2010 to 2020, as the number of eating and drinking establishments opening is expected to decline from the previous decade. Despite these reductions, new employment opportunities for food service managers will emerge in grocery stores and other retail and recreation industries to meet the growing demand for quick food in a variety of settings.
Additionally, the BLS states, "Those with a degree in hospitality, restaurant or food service management should have the best job opportunities."
The Art Institute of Pittsburgh is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE).

Couldn't be happier First I want to say, I didn't think I would find a dress I wanted other than a particular dress my sister had found online, but no stores had it, I was getting frustrated because I thought FOR SURE that dress was mine and I couldn't get it out of my head, until about 6 dresses later (2 different visits, in two different states) my consultant brought this one in, it was actually the second one I tried on that day and I loved the way it felt and looked and how it made me feel, but I was still unsure because of the dress I had been searching for was still on my mind. So I tried on several others, but found myself wanting to put THIS dress back on! Finally I said enough, put me back in the second one I tried on and I didn't take it off until we left! I couldn't be happier and I've not looked back at that first dress since! I can't wait to wear my dress for my wedding this August! I constantly go peak at it in the closet! :) April 26, 2013
Love As my first time trying on wedding gowns, I was very reluctant that I was going to find something I loved. I tried on about 6 or 8 dresses at Davids Bridal and this was the last dress I tried on there that day. We left and decided to go to another store but this dress kept tugging at me and I knew that this was my dress. We immediately went back to Davids Bridal that same day and bought this dress. I am so excited and it is everything I imagined my wedding gown to be. April 23, 2013
Dream Dress I was looking for dresses online for over a year before I tried any on. I'd always wanted strapless, corset back, and long train. When I first saw this one, I knew it was the one to beat...no other dress topped it. I love everything about it and I can't wait to wear it in June. March 24, 2013
Beautiful Just enough detail and sparkle, tried it on first and didn't want to try on anything else :) Simple and beautiful. March 15, 2013

Birch Bay survey cites need for local control
Local control over taxes and land use decisions were the most important issues to Birch Bay residents, according to a recent survey distributed by the Birch Bay Steering Committee.
The survey, organized by the committee's incorporation subcommittee along with Whatcom County planning staff and the regional planning firm Berk and Associates, found that of 402 respondents, nearly half said they felt that local control over how tax dollars are spent was "very important." Even more (58 percent) said control over land use decisions was "very important."
Respondents also indicated that Birch Bay is in need of a post office, library, school and more retail – especially a grocery store.
Committee chair Kathy Berg said the survey was sent to all addresses within the Birch Bay urban growth area (UGA), which encompasses 5,600 residences. Of those, 386 responded with completed surveys. More than a quarter of respondents were part-time residents and seven of those 114 live outside Washington or British Columbia the rest of the year.
Berg said the survey was not meant to gauge whether the community was in favor of incorporation but rather to gather information about residents' questions about incorporation.
"We want to find out what people want to know so those issues are addressed," she said.
Berk and Associates has scheduled a community forum for 7 p.m. Monday, December 3 at the Birch Bay Bible Community Church. The meeting will discuss preliminary results of the incorporation study and give residents a final chance to give their input.

No DVD Boot I have an "old" 1 GHz PC with a DVD reader and CD writer, 512MB Ram, and 2 * 80MB HD. Unfortunately, apparently the BIOS is unable to boot from the DVD reader. So, my question: every month I receive a very valuable Linux DVD from this magazine. How can I convert the DVD into multiple CD's from which I can boot? I have been thinking about this for quite a while now, especially since there are old computers around that cannot even boot from an existing CD-Rom drive directly.

A new study says singles prefer to meet at the gym rather than during a night on the town!
62% of singles in the study say that the gym is a great place to find love, and 3 out of 4 people say they prefer to meet someone there than while out at a bar.
Some women explained that it was because going to the gym shows that men care about their health and fitness, and because gym-goers are actually nicer than the guys you often meet at a bar.
Researchers surveyed 1,500 members of the social dating service canoodle.com to get the data.
We asked viewers on Facebook how they met their significant others. Watch the Good Day clip above to see their answers!

The flowers bloomed, the air was crisp, and scores of antsy fanatics stood for hours in front of the Apple Store early Friday.
It must be spring — and a new iPad must be on sale.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Nearly a hundred devotees to the Cult of Mac lined up at The Gateway retail outlet in downtown Salt Lake City to be among the first in Utah to get the third generation of the company's now-ubiquitous computer tablet, dubbed "the new iPad." Sales began at 8 a.m.
"I wanted to be first. I've always wanted to be first for some Apple release, and this is the iPad I've been waiting for," said 17-year-old Nathan Van Why, of Pleasant Grove, who was at the head of the line after arriving at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
"We're nuts," Van Why said. "It's crazy to spend 22½ hours to get the iPad. You would have to be crazy to wait that long, but it's worth it."
The new devices reached users nationwide in what has become an annual spring product release for Apple. The tablet also is being sold at all Verizon and AT&T stores. Only a couple of people were waiting at those outlets in The Gateway mall Friday morning. They also were available at the Apple store in Fashion Place Mall in Murray, which also had a line, while some Walmart stores had them on sale hours earlier, shortly after midnight. Most models were still available for sale in both Apple stores by Friday afternoon.
The third iteration of the iPad boasts a higher-resolution "retina display" with four times the number of pixels across its 9.7-inch screen. The device also has a faster graphics processor, more RAM, a better 5-megapixel back camera and is compatible with the faster 4G wireless networks from Verizon and AT&T. The prices range from $499 to $829.
The launch also is the company's biggest worldwide for the iPad. The U.S. and nine other countries started selling the tablet Friday. Another 25 countries will begin selling it March 23.
The devices have their attraction. "We just like the way they function," Alexa Devereaux, 20, Salt Lake City, said to explain why she waited for more than 12 hours in line for a new iPad. "It's just an easy system that works together."
Since Apple's CEO Steve Jobs, who died last October, introduced the iPad in April 2010, the company has sold more than 55 million units of its tablet, launching an additional sector of consumer computing. Since then rivals that include Hewlett-Packard, Samsung and Motorola have tried launching their own Android-based tablets at prices far below that of the iPad. Only the $199 Kindle Fire from Amazon has enjoyed success in the market.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster predicted earlier this week that Apple could sell more than 1 million units of the new iPad on the first day, an Apple record. Pre-orders quickly sold out after it was unveiled by Apple CEO Tim Cook on March 7. Shipping for online orders placed Friday will take two to three weeks, according to Apple's website.
Van Why said he could have pre-ordered his new iPad, but then again, why, he asked?
"I thought about it and decided I would rather wait in line," said Van Why, noting that his only excitement was watching people get parking tickets near the Apple store. "I will be getting the iPad, but half the fun is just waiting."
Apple's stock stayed even in Friday's trading at $585 per share.

A Honey of a Wine
In ancient times there was no mead. An old man tried to make it by mixing honey with water and leaving the mixture overnight. The next day he found it to be good but the people would not taste, fearing the beverage was poisonous. So the old man said, "I will drink much of the mixture, because I am very old and if I died it would not matter." He drank and fell down as though dead. But he awoke later, praised the mead, and it became the people's favorite.
...Myth of the stone-age Matako tribe, Amazon
The child of honey, the drink of the gods, mead can be regarded as the ancestor of all fermented drinks, antedating the cultivation of the soil.
...Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat, A History of Food
c.950 B.C.—The Ethiopian Queen of Sheba gets the attention of Irael's King Solomon by bringing him gifts of gold and gems that would be worth over $5,000,000 today. She may also have brought her favorite beverage, MEAD!
c.400 B.C.—Plato reports the ancient Greeks drank mead before they had wine.
43 A.D.—Romans invade Britain and find they produce mead. In fact, the 11th highest ranking official in one town, above the physician, is the mead-maker.
10th Century, A.D.—Mead is very popular in areas too cold for growing wine grapes. At one festival in Russia, honey used for mead totaled 120,000 pounds. Meantime, it had fallen out of favor in Muslim Egypt, where 5,000 jars of honey were dumped into the Nile River.
1253 A.D.—Mogul prince Mangu Khan has a gold fountain with four spouts, dispensing grape wine, rice wine, fermented mare's milk and MEAD.
1340 A.D.—A London wine merchant's newborn will be the first to praise mead extensively in English literature. His name is Geoffrey Chaucer, and his Canterbury Tales, includes passages like, "Her mouth was sweet as Mead."
So, if you want a sip of history, buy Chaucer's Mead, produced in Soquel, CA, phone (800) 4-BARGETTO, under $10. My panel has found it the USA's best; the Wine Enthusiast gave it a rousing 92 rating. Serve with chilled ripe pears and assorted cookies..or over vanilla ice cream. Great conversation piece.

Friday, August 23 at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. – A Place at the Table (2012) Documentary Feature; Rated PG; 84 minutes.
50 million people in the U.S.—one in four children—don't know where their next meal is coming from, despite our having the means to provide nutritious, affordable food for all Americans. Directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush examine this issue through the lens of three people who are struggling with food insecurity: Barbie, a single Philadelphia mother who grew up in poverty and is trying to provide a better life for her two kids; Rosie, a Colorado fifth-grader who often has to depend on friends and neighbors to feed her and has trouble concentrating in school; and Tremonica, a Mississippi second-grader whose asthma and health issues are exacerbated by the largely empty calories her hardworking mother can afford.
"A Place at the Table is advocacy journalism at its best, lining up its facts, illustrating the widespread problem with a few trenchant and compelling cases, and offering solutions." -- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
For more information, please watch the film's trailer. Check out our Friday Night Features in August.

More like White Trash America at times.
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is coming'

Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?

'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny and in the name of God

And you can see them there on Sunday morning

Stand up and sing about what it's like up there

They called it paradise, I don't know why

You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye
Oh dear
You do realize that this site is global. Right?
No it is just a place where people can talk about there similar interests like Coldplay and Dave Mathews Band, or maybe their favorite book "The Secret" or ...... Oh no!
In a lot of ways, yeah, it is.
There is too diverse a population on here for it to be a reflection of just one color.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Bucknell University and the Campus Theatre are expanding their longtime partnership to secure the future of the historic landmark on Lewisburg's Market Street. The goal is to ensure the continued vitality of this rare community arts center and expand its capacity to secure state funding invested in the economic growth of small towns.
For several years now, the University has assisted and provided financial support to the Campus Theatre. With the new arrangement, Bucknell will take formal financial responsibility for the theater building, while the Campus Theatre organization will maintain authority over the theater's programming, including film schedule, events and other cultural offerings. This arrangement will now make it possible to apply for state grants for theater renovations.
Working relationship
"For years, the Campus Theatre and Bucknell have had a great working relationship that has benefited the entire community," said Campus Theatre Executive Director Ellen Flacker-Darer. "The expanded partnership allows us to continue to pursue much-needed renovations so that the theater will continue to serve as an important cultural resource in the greater Susquehanna River Valley."
In 2006, with support from a federal grant, Bucknell provided a no-interest loan to the Campus Theatre LTD., a local nonprofit organization, to allow the organization to buy the property from its prior owner and continue to run the theater as a nonprofit organization.
In partnership with the Campus Theatre LTD, the University now is applying for state economic development grants that would pay for improvements to the theater and would continue to allow the theater to operate itself as an independent nonprofit organization.
Transfer ownership
To be eligible for these grants, the University must have a controlling ownership interest in the theater, so the University and the theater will transfer ownership of the theater building to the University. The theater's nonprofit community board will remain responsible for the day-to-day operations of the theater.
The Campus Theatre partnership is part of a continuing effort of the University and Lewisburg to work together and improve the town-and-gown relationship. As part of that effort, the Barnes & Noble at Bucknell University bookstore opened this past summer.
The Campus Theatre is a 501c3 nonprofit historic movie theater located in Lewisburg, Pa. Built in 1941, and one of the few remaining single-screen art deco movie houses in the country, the Campus Theatre remains dedicated to the promotion of the art of cinema and historic preservation of this architectural treasure.

This is Decision Day for two UConn basketball players.
Junior DeAndre Daniels is leaving UConn and entering the 2014 NBA Draft. Ryan Boatright is returning for his senior season.
Daniels reached out to fans on Twitter.
"This moment is bittersweet but I made a decision that's best for me and my family. UCONN will always be my home. I love this school so much and the dedicated school spirit of the fans. The past three years here, in Storrs were the best three years of my life. I wouldn't change anything for the world."
Daniels played a key role in UConn's national championshp run, averaging 16 points and a team-high 7.2 rebounds in six NCAA tournament games. He's projected to be a late first round draft pick.
A 6-foot-8, 195-pound forward from Los Angeles, Daniels started 38 games and averaged 13.1 points and a team-leading 6.0 rebounds.
He's the first UConn player to leave school early since Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb turned pro in 2012.
It also was a difficult decision for Boatright, who was considered a long shot to be drafted.

(WHAS11) -- The Kentucky State Police are working to find the man responsible for robbing a bank in Sonora, Ky Tuesday afternoon.
According to a news release, that unidentified male entered the Cecilian Bank in Sonora and handed the teller a note demanding cash.
Police say the teller complied and the suspect left the bank on foot.
He is identified as a white male, late teens to mid twenties, 5'9", thin build, with a brown to red mustache and beard. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded zip up jacket with a large Adidas logo on the back, dark blue jeans, brown hat, and brown gloves.
If you know who the man is, call the KSP at (270) 766-5078.

The St. Louis Blues brought in the premier unrestricted free agent centre, and did it without breaking the bank.
Numbers Game looks at the Blues' signing of Paul Stastny.
The Blues Get: C Paul Stastny.
Stastny, 28, has been a strong two-way centre, capable of putting up points and, more recently, taking on tougher assignments while remaining productive. Since arriving in the league in 2006-2007, Stastny has 458 points in 538 games, which ranks 34th.
While his possession stats haven't been dominant, it needs to be considered that they have been accrued in Colorado, where they've been strong in relative terms, and he's among a select group of forwards to face quality opposition and start more of his shifts in the defensive zone, yet still have strong relative possession stats.
Joining St. Louis is a terrific situation for Stastny too. The Blues had a contending team last season that could have used an offensive boost and Stastny ought to provide that and with last year's top line -- Alex Steen, David Backes and T.J. Oshie -- capable of handling a lot of heavy lifting (tough matchups, defensive zone starts), Stastny should be freed up for more of an offensive role than the all-around responsibility he had with Colorado.
Also working in Stastny's favour is that by moving to a team with much better puck possession stats, there will be more opportunity for Stastny to play in the offensive zone and if he ends up with rising young wingers Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko (or fellow U.S. Olympian T.J. Oshie), it would be easy enough to forecast that line being very productive. There's also some shuffling to do among Blues forwards, as they have signed C Jori Lehtera and that could mean Patrik Berglund and David Backes shifting to wings, leaving Vladimir Sobotka and Maxim Lapierre in the third and fourth-line spots.
The team that Stastny is leaving, the Colorado Avalanche, will have their hands full trying to match their 2013-2014 regular season success, but the team does at least have options down the middle, with Matt Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon more than suitable on the top two lines, and they have Ryan O'Reilly (who shifted to wing last season) available if needed. Losing Stastny means tougher minutes for those guys, but the Avalanche at least have the personnel to withstand a loss at centre.
The ideal part of this deal for St. Louis is that they didn't have to get into an outrageous deal in order to acquire the player who was clearly the best free agent centre on the market. Stastny wanted to go to St. Louis and was willing to take a shorter term than he might have made elsewhere. Signed for four years and $28-million, Stastny gets a raise on what he was making in Colorado, joins the team with which his father, Peter, finished his career and it's not an unreasonable price for what Paul Stastny provides.
If Stastny can thrive in an offensive role, he'll give the Blues a legitimate chance to get into the discussion with the best teams in the Western Conference and that's all that can be asked from a contending team when they dip into the free agent pool.

Top of his class. Quarterback. Team captain.
John Faas' football coach had encouraged the natural-born leader to consider applying to a service academy to become a military officer, but Faas had decided in middle school that he wanted to become a Navy SEAL.
The 31-year-old from Minneapolis never wavered about his goal, joining the elite fighting force and becoming a chief petty officer.
"This is where John felt he was called," said Ron Monson, the football coach at Minnehaha Academy, a private Christian school in Minneapolis where Faas graduated as the 1998 class valedictorian.
The coach said Faas never showed bravado and didn't fit the Hollywood stereotype of a SEAL. Instead, the son of Gretchen and Robert Faas of Minneapolis, was the guy who always stood up for his fellow students.
"John was a man of unquestionable integrity and courage, as were those he served with," his family said in a statement. "He became a SEAL to serve his country and to make the world a better place for those less fortunate."

The Word: The songs you'll remember from the 'Breaking Bad' finale
"Breaking Bad" drew to a close last night, which is why your Facebook feed is full of grief and insanity and hashtags about meth.
The iconic show featured memorable songs in its finale, and like the finale of "The Sopranos" and "Don't Stop Believing," they'll be forever associate with the show. Here they are for your listening pleasure, or non-listening if you consider the soundtrack to be a spoiler (someone in my household just insisted I put on headphones to write this post).
The episode was called "Felina" and featured Marty Robbins' song "Feleena," a long folksy storytelling song about a Mexican femme fatale. Presumably, the spelling was changed because "Felina" is an anagram of finale. Always keeping us on our toes, that Vince Gilligan.
And then the true "Don't Stop Believing" moment: "Baby Blue," by Badfinger, which played over Walter White's final scene. Goodbye, Walter. Goodbye, crystal blue meth. Goodbye, "Breaking Bad."
Whether things went down as you'd hoped or not, I think we can all agree that the series finale was a lot more satisfying than the deliberately infuriating final scene of "The Sopranos." Show creator Vince Gilligan says that finality was deliberate. "We went through a lot of false starts and endings that went nowhere, but we knew we needed to dot all the Is and cross all the Ts," he said on last night's behind the scenes show, "Talking Bad."

"Bringing UFollowUp into Lasso is a natural fit as it further extends our market share and footprint across North America while enhancing our customer service capabilities in the eastern United States," said Dave Clements, CEO of Lasso Data Systems. "UFollowUp is highly skilled and experienced in CRM and their homebuilder and multifamily customer base matches our target market. This strategic acquisition will provide us with additional expert resources geographically close to our customers which is part of our strategy for rapid growth accompanied by personalized service."
As part of the acquisition, the combined company will be headquartered in Vancouver, Canada and will be led by CEO Dave Clements. UFollowUp's current principal, Marc Regardie, will take on the role of Vice President, Eastern Region to be based in Washington, DC. Regardie will oversee existing customer relationships and new client acquisitions in the region.
"Bringing the UFollowUp team and expertise together with Lasso Data Systems creates an enhanced organization with an even stronger means for helping homebuilders, multifamily real estate developers and new home agencies across the continent to achieve faster, easier sales and improved profitability," said Marc Regardie.

Lasso CRM marketing and sales software is geared toward builders that develop and sell new residential construction or market multifamily rental properties.

"The competitive advantages of our CRM homebuilder software, combined with highly personalized service, drives real and tangible benefits in better lead management, conversions and improved sales results for our clients," said Clements. "Effective use of technology, with CRM as a core foundation tool, is rapidly growing in both strategic and tactical importance for home builders, both large and small."
Lasso CRM equips customers to sell faster and easier by improving lead capture, prospect management, sales velocity, close ratios and marketing ROI.

Customers access Lasso via the web 24/7 from anywhere and subscribe as part of a monthly software-as-a-service (SaaS). Commonly referred to as cloud computing, the subscription requires minimal upfront set-up and training, as well as no need for IT investment. (continued...)

The collectors of the several ports of entry, the surveyors of the several ports of delivery, and the marshals of the several judicial districts within the United States, shall seize any vessel or boat built, purchased, fitted out, or held as mentioned in section 385 of this title, which may be found within their respective ports or districts, and to cause the same to be proceeded against and disposed of as provided by that section.

Memories of yesteryears are treasures grander than gold
I've been planning to write this column for a long time, so here I go. I think you will enjoy it.
Well, mama and dad met around 1933 or thereof. Mama was working at Baxter Lunch Room at Dinwiddie Courthouse, but it was two years before they went out on a date. Daddy was shy and working day and night in the store, but t'was love at first sight. My mama was a pretty woman and taught school for six or seven years, but retired in 1937 to marry because in those days you couldn't be married and teach school; That's the reason there's so many old maid school teachers. My mama's brother and his wife, Kate, ran Baxter store, right across from the Lunch Room and they raised my mama from 5 years old until grown. Mama's mother died in 1912 when she was 2 and her dad died in 1915 when she was 5, but believe me, mama did love Kate and Emmett, her brother, as if they were her own parents.
Mama and dad married Jan. 8, 1937, and went for two weeks to Florida on a honeymoon with a brand new 1937 Cheverolet coupe, solid green with white wall tires. They drove that car to Florida and back and never had one minute of trouble, not even a flat tire. Mama and dad lived at Fork Inn for one year and then moved to the back of the store December 1938 and I was born in 1940, Dec. 12. Well, if there was ever a marriage made in heaven, t'was my mama and dad. They were happy as could be. Mama was a worker in this world. They had the hogs, chickens, milk cows, and yes, daddy had the deer dogs by the dozen, for the Sutherland Hunt Club. Then the war years came, and did they ever work in the store. They had help during the war, Jeff Leftwich, Nell Sutphin and there were others, too. Daddy stayed open from 5 a.m. to 12 p.m. at night during the war years.
They pulled together, worked hard and mama was so active in her church, Ocran. She was there 56 years and Ocran was part of her life, too. She was famous for her Mother's Day program and she made sure everyone had a rose to wear on Mother's Day. She had rose bushes so beautiful; t'was beyond beautiful. In those days it was customary for you to wear a red rose if your mother was living and a white rose if she was deceased. Mama pinned many a rose on folks on Mother's Day, and every Mother's Day I think of those times many years ago. My mom was one in a billion, to know her was to love her. I bet you we had the preachers at Ocran eat dinner on Sunday with us 1,000 times that I remember. You know mama, what a dinner she would fix and everybody knew about mama's chocolate chess and sweet potato pies. If you were new in the area or sick, mama was there with a pie. Yes, on Sundays, she would make custard and we made homemade ice cream. I have cranked that old ice cream machine many a time - homemade strawberry, tootie fruitie, pineapple, gosh; t'was the best ice cream in the world. She cooked every day like t'was no tomorrow. Many a soul ate with us back of the store where we lived until 1957 when daddy built mama a new home a mile from the store, a big new brick house with a full basement. They enjoyed that home for 36 years. My daughter, Gail and her family live there now. Gosh, I really enjoyed that house ,and when I got married in 1966, we lived there for one year until I built our home up there on Station Road. My wife and myself lived there for 35 years until we moved in 1999 to Trench Road off of Claiborne and this will be my last move. No more moving for me. They say don't ever say what you are not going to do because you will end up doing that very thing you said you never would.
Yes, I realized at an early age that I had extraordinary parents. They were well loved and respected from all over. We had big business at the store. Folks came from all over and many customers were like family to us. They mostly all are gone now, a precious few are left. I have been to 10,000 funerals in my lifetime and have sung and preached many a one, too. Yes, life was good for mama, dad and myself. I was an only child, perhaps t'was fate, who knows, but being born at Olgers Store and being around all those folks and activities sure enriched my life, My daddy always said, don't forget, you reap what you sow. I guess he was right after all. I wouldn't change my life or anything about it for Fort Knox full of gold. You see, my roots run deep and, well, tis hard to explain. You would have to have been born here and lived the life I lived and met the folks I have met to know what I mean. In other words, there are some things you can't put into words and that is one of them.
Sometimes I daydream of the yesteryears at Olgers Store, a time, place and people that have passed on into time. I remember those days as if it was yesterday. It was truly a grand and wonderful time and was the foundation for my very existence. Mama, dad and I in the store, it was home to us and we all loved it. It meant so much to so many. I sit on the front porch now and it gives me great joy and happiness to think about the time that I spent at Olgers store. Truly our motto says it all, "where old friends meet" and we are still meeting today on the old Olgers Store front porch.
It does me good to look back to my early years at Olgers Store, at mama's old cook stove, the old pantry stocked with all the canned goods, the old churn mama made the butter in. I churned it many a time, the old hand-crank ice cream maker I spoke of earlier, the big old iron skillet where mama fried that good home-raised chicken, the big old crocks mama made her famous pickles in, and I remember all the big old cake pans she made her famous fruit cakes in, the old GMC truck that carried us around for years, Daddy and his deer dogs. The grand days of my youth at Olgers Store were no doubt the grandest days of my life. I will forever cherish those days until the day I leave this earth. And if I leave this world today let it be said about me, I, Jimmy Olgers lived two lifetimes already. Oh yes, I have gotten the best out of life, and like so many times I mentioned before, I think of what daddy used to say, you reap what you sow; and friends let me say this, I have sown and I have been reaping for many years and will be reaping for many years to come until I take that final breath. Life has been good to me and when the lawyer finishes up my will, little will he know that he just settled up the estate of the richest man that ever passed through Sutherland. I know for a fact you understand what I say. I will have left a great fortune behind, a fortune like no other man ever had, I guess t'was fate. But believe me I would not have had it any other way. Yes indeed, I will say it one more time, "those were the good old days", gone forever.
Mama and dad passed Aug. 5 and Sept. 5, 20 years ago. They are buried side by side under the giant magnolia tree in the Olgers family cemetery behind Fork Inn. I will be buried there by my mother; and there are spaces there for my family for years to come.
I am grateful for the life I have had and deep in my heart I hold those memories no one can rob me of. They are memories beyond anything you could possibly imagine, and that's the reason I say, when I sit on the front porch of Olgers Store museum today, I dream of those days, when we all were together living in those three rooms many years ago. It will always be home to me. Thank you Lord for those years and for the life, and every moment, I lived. I am extremely grateful.
Don't forget to order your Olgers Store picture by Ivan Perkinson, call me today 732-1643. Makes a wonderful Christmas paresent.
Don't forget my son, Darrell, is looking for silver and all kinds of antiques, call him right away, 943-2283.
Thanksgiving is upon us, time is really going fast. I've got a hot fire in the cabin and hot bear gumbo on the stove for supper. It is good, ask Kyle Van Landingham, he ate five quarts in two days. That boy is addicted to bear gumbo, no doubt. He's always growling, next he will be climbing trees. Well, I guess he knew what would happen before he ate all that gumbo, but tis so good, he couldn't stop.
Have a great week.

What's Your Tantrum IQ?
Let's face it—toddler meltdowns can make even the calmest parent break out in a sweat. Do you know some of the common triggers? Time to put your tantrum know-how to the test.
Question 1 of 9
Which one of these play time scenarios is most likely cause chaos?
Select your answer below.
|Giving your little guy a five minute warning before an activity is about to end
|Telling him he has to stop for now, but you'll join him for play time later
Abruptly pulling him away from an activity in which he's deeply engaged
Instead, respect your child's time and be sensitive to transitions. You'll be able to stave off tantrums by giving your child a warning about changes that are about to happen ("In five minutes, we'll be leaving the playground" or "In five minutes we'll begin bath time").
Learn More
Question 2 of 9
Your toddler is trying to master a new task, like climbing a stool, and you're worried she might hurt herself. Which of the following will most likely land you both in tantrumville?
Select your answer below.
Stopping her from completing the task on her own (even though she may be capable of doing it)
If your child is trying to climb a kitchen stool and you quickly pull her off for fear of her falling, don't be surprised if you get waterworks! During toddlerhood, your child is focused on building her skills, independence, and automony. Give her space (within reason) to try things on her own, yet if you have any concerns about her safety, talk to her about what you're doing while offering her assistance ("Mommy is holding on to you while you climb this tall stool because I want to make sure that you're being safe with your body").
Learn More
|Talking to her about the consequences of a potentially precarious activity
|Giving your child a chance to explain why they want to do something
Question 3 of 9
Toddlers sure love their toys—sometimes too much! Which scenario is the most likely tantrum trigger?
Select your answer below.
|Rotating various toys so that the old ones don't get stale (but leaving his favorites
|Giving him a hand-me-down toy
Suddenly cutting off playtime and putting his toys away
If you're running late and take the toy your child has been contentedly playing with from his hands to wrestle him into his coat, you've got a ticket straight to tantrumville! Instead, give your child a warning that playtime is about to end and that he'll have to say "bye bye" to his toys, or decide in advance that your child can take that special toy with him when you leave.
Learn More
Question 4 of 9
Sometimes play time can take a turn for the worse, especially if you:
Select your answer below.
In the middle of a fun game, tell her that play time is over and that it's time to go
The drama's about to start! Again, giving your child a ten or five minute warning (or both!) will go a long way in easing the transition.
Learn More
|Set a timer and tell her that play time will be done once the bell rings
|Let her put away some of her extra-special toys before a friend comes over to play
Question 5 of 9
You just want to protect her and keep her safe, but that's not always how your little one sees it. She will most likely get upset if you:
Select your answer below.
|Gently move her away from a object, such as a hot stove, explaining why it's dangerous
|Put fragile items away before she even gets interested in playing with them
Quickly stop her as she's reaching out to explore something
Children are born to explore! Know it, accept it, and try to prevent tantrums before they happen by keeping valuables and breakables out of sight. If the object can't be removed (a hot stove, for example), gently pick your child up, or safely surround her with your arms, while saying, "Hot! We could burn ourselves. Ouch! Let's be safe and move away."
Learn More
Question 6 of 9
When it comes to day-to-day activities, your little one is most likely to lose her cool if you:
Select your answer below.
|Firmly stick to a daily routine and set schedule
Disrupt the daily routine without giving her advance notice
Children thrive on routine and predictability. If reading a book is a consistent part of your child's bedtime routine and you're exhausted, don't just try to skip the book. Try reading a short story instead of a long one. Remember, whatever noticeable shortcuts you take will likely encourage your toddler to protest more. Any surprise change can cause them to feel unbalanced. They feel safer and secure when they know what to expect in their day-to-day.
Learn More
|Consistently put her down for nap at the same time each day
Question 7 of 9
When it comes to communicating with your little one, which of the following will mostly likely result in tears?
Select your answer below.
Setting up certain expectations and then not following through
If you're planning on taking your child to the playground but are worried about the weather, it's best not to mention the excursion until you're sure the weather will allow it.
Learn More
|Talking to your child about different ways an upcoming situation or experience might change
|Explaining to your child what you're about to do before changing his diaper, wiping his face, or any other caretaking activity
Question 8 of 9
For a lot of toddlers, mealtime and tantrums go hand in hand. Which of the following is most likely to cause a fit?
Select your answer below.
|Gently encouraging your child to eat with a fork instead of their fingers
|Offering your child food choices throughout the day
Skipping snack time
If you let your child reach the Tired-and-Hungry Zone of No Return, it's danger time. Let's be real, Mom: You're not at your sweetest or most amenable when your blood sugar is low and you're considering an under-desk catnap. With children, it's best think ahead and be prepared. Snacks and drinks should always be kept close by!
Learn More
Question 9 of 9
When you're hanging out at home, which of the following will most likely cause an outburst?
Select your answer below.
|Making dinner while he's playing with his toys
|Talking on the telephone while he's engaged with a book
Leaving him without telling him where you're going
Most little ones experience separation anxiety at some point in those younger years, and it can be scary for them when they discover that they are separate beings from you. Even when you're home together, if you're out of eyesight, a meltdown could ensure. Instead, talk to him about where you're going or what you're doing. It's a respectful way to communicate with your child and helps him feel safe and secure that you're nearby if, and when, he needs you.

Wall Street Savors Anheuser-Busch (BUD) Reacquisition
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Anheuser-Bush InBev NV (BUD) is trading higher after announcing it will repurchase Oriental Brewery, the largest brewer in South Korea, from KKR (KKR) and Affinity Equity Partners for $5.8 billion including debt.
The Belgium-based business sold Oriental to KKR in 2009 for $1.8 billion in a move to cut debt after InBev NV splashed $52 billion on its takeover of Anheuser-Busch. In the sale, Anheuser-Bush InBev (AB InBev) retained the right to repurchase Oriental within five years.
Since changing hands, Oriental has grown into the largest brewer in South Korea, due to its exclusive license to distribute select AB InBev brands in the region and driven by the strength of the Cass Brand.
"We are excited to invest in South Korea and to be working with the Oriental Brewery team again. OB will strengthen our position in the fast-growing Asia Pacific region and will become a significant contributor to our Asia Pacific Zone," said CEO Carlos Brito in a statement.The Budweiser maker notes South Korea is an attractive beer market with volumes increasing around 2% each year since 2009. In the period from 2012 to 2022, analysts expect the South Korean beer market to grow by more than 13%. AB InBev will fund the acquisition by drawing upon existing liquidity. Under the terms of the previous deal, AB InBev will receive $320 million in cash upon closing. The transaction, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2014. By early afternoon, shares had climbed 1.7% to $103.21.

Discover the Beauty of Balanced Performance
Kawasaki builds larger and more expensive cruisers, but they don't build them any better, more fun to ride, or with more character than the Vulcan® 900 Classic: 903cc of fuel-injected V-twin Kawasaki know-how provides more than enough thrust in a bike that weighs just 620 pounds — accompanied by all the rumble the law allows. Classic looks enforce a long, low frame that carries the rider just 26.8 inches from the pavement. From there, Kawasaki adds plenty of expensive-looking chrome, quality paint and stylish spoked wheels, then sweetens the deal with an easy-to-swallow price tag.
This Vulcan's winning combo will please entry-level riders and anyone seeking class leading power and torque, but wanting more agility than a large-displacement machine. Blessed with plenty of charisma and class-leading ergonomics, the Vulcan 900 matches its powerplant and chassis prowess with great looks too: Graceful fenders and fuel tank accentuated by a polished chrome-accented air cleaner and chrome headlight give it the classic cruiser curves. A subtle matte-black frame balances the stylish modern flair in its bodywork, low-slung seat, and stylish tail light.
The visual treats continue with curved cooling fins on the big, classic-looking V-twin, which fairly bristles with modern touches inside including four-valve-per-cylinder performance and liquid-cooled reliability. An engine counterbalancer works with the single-pin crankshaft to produce that distinctive guttural, classic V-twin sound and feel, but without the annoying V-twin vibration.
Rugged and reliable belt final drive on the Vulcan 900 keeps the overall weight down, improves rear-end styling and provides the rider with additional customizing opportunities — and the largest rear tire in its class also contribute to the Vulcan 900's big bike feel.
The Vulcan 900's low seat height and tapered seat do not discriminate against shorter riders. Comfortable enough for any distance, the front bucket seat flows nicely into the largest capacity fuel tank in its class, and the lower chassis rails provide a narrowed shape for a shorter reach to the pavement — ideal for shorter riders. The rear pillion pad makes it painless to share the two-wheeled experience. The wide handlebars, seat and floorboard layout offers an ideal ergonomic relationship, making for a relaxing mount.
Some of the other features that make the Vulcan 900 appealing to such a wide audience are a fork offset and rake designed for light, effortless maneuvering at low, in-town speeds. The 900 Classic is equipped with an auto-fast idle system that uses an rpm feedback relay to help ensure a fixed engine speed in all starting conditions. Its easy-to-control fuel-injection makes ultra-low speed riding surprisingly easy, and the abundant low-rpm torque provides thrilling roll-on acceleration. At home, around town or on the open road, this motorcycle is built for hour upon hour of riding pleasure.
Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Eight Deaths on Kentucky Roadways Last Week (07/27 - 08/02)
Date of News Release: 08/03/09
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that eight people died in eight separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, July 27 through Sunday, August 2, 2009.
Six of the crashes involved motor vehicles and two of those victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of two other victims has yet to be determined. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Fayette, Jessamine, Morgan, Pulaski (2) and Shelby counties. One of the crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol.
Two bicycle crash fatalities occurred and one of those victims was not wearing a helmet and one crash involved the suspected use of alcohol. Bicycle crashes occurred in Hardin and Jefferson counties.
Through August 2, preliminary statistics* indicate that 447 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2009. This is 4 less fatalities than reported for the same time period in 2008. There were 369 motor vehicle fatalities and 202 of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Eighteen pedestrians have been killed. Fifty fatalities involved a motorcycle and seven fatalities involved an ATV. A total of one hundred fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.
