Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate R250X4 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Rockford Fosgate power for your speakers Rockford Fosgate performance in a small package. The Prime Series R250X4 4-channel amp can drive your speakers with 40 watts RMS each, so you'll really feel your tunes rockin'. Or, you could switch the R250X4 to 2-channel mode to run a couple of subs with 125 watts RMS each — when you buy a bigger amp for your subs later on, you can still use this 4-channel to drive all your speakers. Smart move. You can use the high- and low-pass filters and Rockford Fosgate's famous Punch boost to get maximum performance from the speakers in your vehicle. And speaker-level inputs let you hook this amp up to almost any system, even a factory stereo. Rugged performance and value The R250X4's heavy cast-aluminum chassis efficiently draws damaging heat away from its internal components, ensuring reliable, long-term play. The amp's built-in sensors keep track of the output current and power supply temperature, ensuring that plunging speaker impedances (they change constantly during play) or even a short circuit won't hurt anything. Your driver's seat will become your favorite place for listening to music once this Prime amp goes to work.

Features Controls Connections Features Overview: The front and rear sections of the Rockford Fosgate Prime R250X4 4-channel amplifier are bridgeable, so it can be wired in 4-channel, 3-channel, or 2-channel mode. CEA 2006 Compliant: The R250X4's power ratings and signal to noise ratio are measured according to the uniform standards advocated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). This allows you to accurately compare these specifications for all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to these standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. CEA2006 Specifications for this amplifier are: 4 Ohms: 40 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N 2 Ohms: 60 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N Bridged: 125 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N S/N: 80 dB, measured at 1 watt output (100 dB measured at rated power) LED Indicator: The amplifier is equipped with an LED power/protect indicator. The LED illuminates blue when the unit is turned on. It illuminates red if the thermal or short circuit protection circuit is engaged, and the amplifier will automatically turn off. Mounting: The amplifier can be mounted vertically or horizontally using the supplied mounting screws. The amplifier should never be mounted in an engine compartment as this will void the warranty. Controls Gain Controls: The front and rear amplifier channels have independent gain controls. Each rotary control is labeled 1 to 11 and has a sensitivity range of 150mV to 4V when using the RCA inputs, 450mV to 12V when using the speaker level inputs. Crossover: There are also independent 12 dB/octave crossovers for the front and rear channels. Crossover switches allow you to choose low-pass, high-pass, or full-range operation. The crossover points are continuously variable from 50 to 250 Hz. Punch EQ: The Punch EQ bass boost circuits are individually selectable, 0 (flat), +6 dB, or +12 dB and centered at 45 Hz. Input Switch: 2-CH: when using only the front inputs 4-CH: when using the front and rear inputs Connections Power Terminals: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated set screw terminals and will accommodate up to 4 gauge power and ground wires. Fuse: An external 50-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire at the battery. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 50-amps, the original should be replaced with a 50-amp fuse. Remote Terminal: The remote turn-on terminal is a nickel-plated set screw terminal that will accommodate up to an 8 AWG wire. It's used to remotely turn the amplifier on and off. Speaker Terminals: The four pair of speaker outputs are nickel-plated set screw terminals what will accommodate up to 8 AWG speaker wire. RCA Input Jacks: Front and rear RCA input jacks provide an easy connection for preamp level input. They are nickel-plated to resist signal degradation caused by corrosion. Speaker Level Input: Two speaker level input harnesses are included, making it easier to add the amplifier to a factory radio or to a receiver with no preamp outputs.

I don't know how he does it, but Diego Fazo is able to draw pictures with a pencil that look better than Professional High Definition Photos. The Italian artist simply uses a charcoal pencil to get the stunning and lifelike results he is able to achieve. It is hard to believe, but to prove to everyone that it is real, Diego released photos of himself drawing the pictures as a work in progress. My stick figures are no comparison to the masterpieces this genius creates.

The 50 million euro investment, which converts to approximately $62 million, will be the most important part of voestalpine's recent global expansion said Kurt Hinterholzl, a board member of voestalpine's Metal Forming Division.
"I want to say the most important project of this four [part] project is this project here. This is a strategic project for us. This is the most visible project among the voestalpine group. Everybody is watching this project inside of voestalpine, outside of voestalpine," Hinterholzl said. "Therefore this project is very, very important not only for us. This is a strategic point project and this was also one of the reasons why we decided to build in Cartersville."
Voestalpine is expanding by building new plants on four continents in order to supply Daimler AG, owner of Mercedes-Benz, with components for the new C Class, which Hinterholzl said was designed to be built on a global scale. New plants will be built in China, South Africa, Romania and Germany in addition to the Cartersville plant.
"We really can be proud that we actually, for the time being, are able to realize this important project and this, really, a very important project for our whole group and, I think, for this region here," Hinterholzl said.
Voestalpine, Hinterholzl added, has considered an expansion into America since the mid-1990s. While its first attempts to enter the country were failures, the company reconsidered the idea in 2007 and decided to build its own plants.
Georgia was one of the states on the list from the very beginning, according to Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Chris Cummiskey. A voestalpine executive had contacted Georgia's economic development office in Munich, Germany, he said.
"The office in Munich is the head of our European office. It plays a significant role in what we do. A lot of projects on the European side get started through that office, bringing us the projects. So anytime the relationship's there in the front end, it helps in their mind to know Georgia is a player and why we're there. ... It's an essential part of what we do," Cummiskey said.
Cummiskey was one of the many speakers at the groundbreaking ceremony. He praised the Highland 75 site and the foresight many Cartersville and Bartow County leaders had in creating the industrial park.
"We don't do this alone. We don't do this without you. We're simply there to help you and this piece of land — this piece of land is perfect. ... Clarence, you can't have a better send-off than this. Thank you for all the years you've been up here and all the things you've done because, without you, we wouldn't be here," Cummiskey said to Bartow County Commissioner Clarence Brown.
Brown described the groundbreaking as a "dream come true."
"This is a wonderful day for me; it's a dream. It's a vision we've had for many years and we made a dream come true about [voestalpine] being the first one in the park," he said. "You're the kind of company we've always dreamed of having."
Cartersville Mayor Matt Santini expanded on Brown's comments on how voestalpine is a good fit for the area and he thanked all the people who made the groundbreaking a possibility.
"From the very beginning the company took an approach that they didn't want to put a building somewhere, but they wanted to be a part of a community where they located. ... I'm happy to welcome a world-class manufacturer like voestalpine to our community, but more than that I'm happy that all the people who put their time, talent and sweat into this park will now see the fruits of their labor."
Santini thanked former Cartersville mayors Mike Fields and Sam Smith, the JDA board members and the staff and the Georgia Department of Economic Development for all their work.
Voestalpine had narrowed its options down to two sites, Cartersville and a site in Alabama near the Mercedes-Benz plant. While Daimler pressured the company to locate in Alabama, Cartersville's central location to other manufacturers — such as Volkswagen in Tennessee and BMW in South Carolina — provided voestalpine with future opportunities. Georgia's Quick Start adult education program, which prepares students for technology intensive jobs, was another attractive feature that brought the company to Cartersville.
While every area and state speaker welcomed the company and its executives, JDA Chairman James Jarrett said that it was necessary to redefine the word welcome for the occasion.
"Oftentimes we think of the word welcome as something that's a point in time, an event. But I want to say to you that our welcome will continue," he said. "We make a commitment that until you feel at home here you're welcome here, and we will continue to make you feel welcome and we commit ourselves to help make you successful.
"We know that our success as a community is connected to your success as a company."
Voestalpine executives, in turn, thanked Brown, Santini and the JDA for their hard work in negotiating with the company.
"Of course, I have to mention the people of Bartow County," said Peter Bernscher, head of the Business Unit Automotive Body Parts in the Metal Forming Division. "Its representatives, they were supporting us, they were convincing us. Mayor Santini — I've seen today — he was helping us get convinced that Bartow and Cartersville Joint Development Authority was supporting this project. So thank you again for this support that brought us to this decision. But it doesn't end, and it will not end here. So we need you even in the future."
Although U.S. Ambassador to Austria William Eacho III was slated to speak at the event, he was unable to attend. In his place Thomas Strauss, the Southern regional director of the U.S. Commercial Service, commented on voestalpine plant's potential for job creation. He estimated the plant would hire 220 employees and potentially generate 400 to 600 additional jobs from vendors and suppliers as well.
The Cartersville plant will operate under the voestalpine Metal Forming Division, which has contracts with Daimler and the Volkswagen Auto Group. It will fulfill contracts for a variety of components with the ability to expand in the future by starting with pressing, stamping, welding and assembly activities when it first opens. According to a press release, the plant may expand in the near future to include hot forming of steel and laser-welded blanks.
Hinterholzl hoped the plant could one day serve domestic or other foreign manufacturers in addition to the company's current customers.
Even though a timeline is not yet available, Bernscher said he would like to see the "first step of our investment" open in six months.
Voestalpine is not yet taking job applications for the Cartersville plant. However, job seekers can send their resumes to firstname.lastname@example.com and any vendors interested in contracting services can email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our family cemetery…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
I never will forget that day. I had gone out to my parent's home to visit them for a while and I asked Momma where Daddy was. "He's up on the mountain," she said in a voice I knew wasn't her normal tone of voice. It was like she didn't want to say where Daddy was.
"Up on the mountain?" I asked. "What's he doing up on the mountain?" I continued, not knowing what the answer was going to be.
"He's clearing off a graveyard. A place where he wants to be buried at," Momma said with a hurt look in her eyes that I had only seen once before. The time when she gave me the news that Pap Paw Burkhart had died.
"Is Daddy sick Momma?" I asked again afraid of her next answer.
"No, I don't think so. If he is sick, he's not told me," Momma said as she stared at the mountain where Dad was working. "He's getting old. You know he turned 70 back in March," Momma went on straining her eyes as she walked to the back door to maybe catch a glimpse of him to make sure he was okay on the mountain.
Right then, it hit me. My parents were both growing old and they were facing the fact that all of us must face late in our lives. We are but a short time on this earth and then death will close the final curtain on all of us.
I didn't know what to say to Momma as I walked up beside her at the large sliding glass door she stood before. I put my arms around her and told her I would go check on him. She smiled back and nodded without saying another word.
The walk to the mountain seemed like one of the longest journeys I had ever taken. My feet moved slowly and my legs felt heavy. A thousands thoughts raced through my mind as I made my way up the hill to where I could hear someone hacking away with an ax.
I could never figure out what I was going to say when I got there. I stopped for a moment and asked my self, "What do you ask your father when you know he's working on a place that will be his final resting place?" I couldn't come up with a good answer. So on I trudged in the warm spring air.
I stopped again as I topped the hill to where I could now see my father who had already been joined by my brother Gary. The first thing I thought as I surveyed the spot where the morning sun's rays were just peaking through the forest canopy was, "It is a beautiful place. Dad sure picked a peaceful looking spot." Those thoughts made the final 100 yards a little easier.
"What on earth are you two doing?" I asked not wanting him to know I had already spoken to Momma.
"We're working on our family graveyard. This is the place where I want to be buried at when I die." Dad said, taking time to wipe his forehead with a white handkerchief he pulled from his rear pocket.
Not wanting him to see the pain I was hiding deep inside I quickly answered, "Well I guess I had better help you. 'Cause this will also be the place where I will be buried too."
Most of the work had already been done by the time I got there but I was glad just to be there with them working on what would be our family cemetery. When we finished the place looked amazing.
I had never thought much about the fact that Daddy was getting old before that day. And the possibility of him dying was a hard to come to grip with. That day was almost 20 years ago.
Now both of my parents have passed on into eternity. Their headstones sit at the center of the neatly groomed family cemetery. Momma's brother Lloyd is also buried in the cemetery. It was also the place he wanted to be. After all, Lloyd was like a son to Momma and Daddy.
An American flag flies at the corner of the plot as a tribute to my dad, a soldier of WWII. A chain link fence lines the cemetery edge. Inside the cemetery are other plots marked off with rope of their chosen spots for some of my siblings.
Before Dad died just looking at the empty cemetery made me sad. If I walked to the woods at the house I didn't even want to walk close to it. I avoided it when I could. I didn't even want to think about death and dying because it always made me feel depressed.
Now, after losing both parents death, it is a little easier to think about. After all, it's something all of us must face when our time here on earth is over.
I'm glad Daddy and Momma choose to be buried in the cemetery on our family land. That little piece of property was home to all of us for so many years. For there too, when my work here on earth is done, is the place where I wish to rest beside them.

Pampers vs. Facebook…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
I was carrying my grandchild to the car the other morning and it got me thinking. I thought how in the world did we ever survive as kids in the 50's and 60's as I stared at my wife's back seat taken up by a booster seat on one side and a car seat on the other. I never knew what a car seat was until late in my life.
I also carried the diaper bag in my hand. Not any regular diaper bag but a "designer" diaper bag. Inside the bag was three baby bottles half full of distilled water with safety caps over the nipples. In another container with three separated compartments was the dry baby formula to mix in the water inside the bottles to make milk for the baby. I thought that was a long way away from my mother's breast milk that I was raised on.
In another compartment of the diaper bag were pampers. Which I must admit they're much easier than having to wash the cloth diapers I had to wear. Plus, they're much more attractive with all kinds of cartoon characters covering them. I'll bet it would have been much more fun to poop on Scooby Doo than in a plain white diaper. How did we ever make it without pampers?
On the other side of the bag was a packet of baby wipes. The people who invented these must somewhere down the line found out what I learned with my kids, "Poop comes off easier with a soft moist cloth. And the best part is they're disposable. No washing needed and much nicer on the bottom than a cold wet washcloth.
Inside my daughter's house everything is locked up tighter than Fort Knox. All of the cabinet drawers have safety latches to keep young kids out. Doors like you see in the movies with several latches and locks that must be twisted, turned and unhooked to open. When I grew up we never even had a front door that locked and we stilled survived.
We never had any childproof medicine bottles either. That I think was a great invention but now with my stiff fingers sometimes I find them almost adult proof also. There wasn't much need for those when I was young. The only medicine you could find at our house was coal oil, Bayer aspirin, black salve, Alka Seltzer, Ex-lax, Betty Rose Liniment, merthiolate, mercurochrome and rubbing alcohol. If that stuff couldn't fix you up, nothing could.
We never had seat belts, air bags, or air conditioners in our cars either. I remember when riding in the back of a pickup bed was the best way to cool off on a hot day. Today they take you to jail for that.
The only water we got back then was from a spring or a well bucket. We all drank out of the same dipper in the water bucket too.
I remember when I worked at IGA in the late 70's a man came to the store one afternoon wanting to sell water. I said, "You're kidding me, aren't you? There ain't no way people would pay for water. It's free, as much as you want right out of the facet."
The guy from Highbridge Water looked at me and said, "They're already buying it in Lexington!"
I told him, "City people might pay for drinking water but it will never catch on here in Clay Conty. People here are smarter than that."
I found out a few years later people would pay big money later on for water, more sometimes than what a can of pop or beer cost. Who could have ever figured that one out?
When we did get a pop as a kid, many times two or more of us drank from the same pop bottle. And it didn't kill us. The only time I didn't like to share a pop with someone else was when peanuts had been poured into the pop. Back then it was a something a lot of people did.
We never had email, Facebook, X-boxes, Nintendo's or 300 channels on the TV when I grew up. We did have neighbors and friends and we went outside and visited with them. Their doors were not locked either so most times we walked right in unannounced.
Sometimes I left the house and was gone all day to the woods. I played on grapevines, walked on stilts, threw acorns and mud balls. One thing I know for sure, we were never bored. And another thing, not many people back then were overweight.
If we fell and got hurt at a neighbors house we never thought about getting a lawsuit against them. If we got in trouble at school my parents didn't get mad at the teacher. They thanked her for teaching us right from wrong and making us understand there was punishment when we did wrong. Plus, when we got home Daddy would "second" the punishment to make sure we got the message.
We rode bicycles without helmets, pads or sometimes, even shoes. We rode on mules and ponies without saddles or bridles. That stuff was for sissies.
We spent hours on a sage grass hill riding cardboard boxes like sleighs. We rode in the creek in car tops. You could wade in almost any creek bare-foot. Now you would need steel-toe shoes.
Times sure have changed, some for the better, but a lot for the worse. I love whoever invented pampers and baby wipes. I hate Internet and Facebook. They consume far too much family time.

Riding the rails… a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
On the way home from school that week years ago, we had watched the funny looking rail car as the railroad crew worked on the tracks. With a downward push of a wooden handle at the center of the repair vehicle, the rail car would move up or down the track. As one worker pushed down on his end it raised the opposite end where another man pushed it back down. The pumping action made the wheels turn and it moved along effortlessly along the cold steel rail.
I had never seen anything quite like that little little gizmo but it sure looked like fun. Years later, in the movie " 'O Brother", I saw a similar car again as the movie opened with a blind man pumping the wooden handle up and down as he sang a song. He didn't need his eyes to see where he was going because the rail guided him to the next station. The only trouble I thought, what will happen if he meets a train?
Every day that week, I stopped for a few minutes, watching the men as they worked the rail up Paw Paw and Yeager. I asked one of the men "Where did you get that thing?" He laughed and replied, "I rode it here from Corbin." I didn't believe him but I figured a person could ride it as far as the tracks went and I had heard they went all they way from Louisville to Nashville. I thought, I sure would like to have me a railcar like that one.
Well, on the way home from school Friday, my brothers and me noticed the men weren't around and the buggy was sitting on the tracks all by its self. We ran up to it and slowly walked around it, looking it over real good. Ronnie then climbed aboard and all of us followed. The wooden platform sitting over the four heavy steel wheels was big enough for everyone and then some. Slowly, we made our way to the center where the wooden pump was. I looked at Ronnie and he looked at me with a big smile as we both reached for the handles.
It was hard to push up and down by ourselves, those men, I thought, must have been really strong. But with the help of Anthony and Jessie Lewis, the little car began to move. We found out quick that the faster we pumped the handle, the faster it went. And the faster it went the more we loved it.
Soon we were sailing along the rails at a pretty good speed. For a brake the buggy had a steel handle that when inserted into a slot you could stop the car by applying pressure to the handle. Boy, this was the greatest invention since Kool-aid, I thought.
Living along a railroad track we all knew that the rail switch at Yeager had to be thrown in the opposite direction if we were to ride on up Paw Paw but the ride was shorter that way, so up Yeager we went pumping and laughing, having the time of our lives. Another thing we noticed was the farther up Yeager we went, the harder it was to pump because it was up hill.
We began to get tired and stopped for a while to rest when the inclined slope of the rail made the rail car began to reverse back down the track towards Paw Paw. "All aboard!" I yelled and everyone jumped back on the flat bed of the car. The farther we traveled out of the holler, the faster the little car went. Doug, Jessie's brother, got the idea that we didn't need the brake handle and threw it off the car. That was a big mistake! Because now, how are we going to stop this run away railcar?
Most onboard the car were laughing and loving the speed at which the little flat-bed car was making. We crossed Paw Paw's graveled road at about 25 mph and luckily we didn't meet a car. As we made our way down the long stretch towards Sibert, I began to worry because now we must have been doing 35 mph. The laughing then turned to screaming, as everyone realized there was no way to stop it.
Doug jumped off laughing and did about 5 or 6 somersaults before stopping, cut, bruised and now crying. No one wanted to jump after that. We were really moving as we passed the Kentucky Mountain Coal Co. tipple. Just a little farther and we would be crossing Highway 80 and more traffic with no way to stop. We hit Sibert and now everyone's eyes were on the highway crossing, praying that there would be no vehicles coming when we crossed the highway.
"Hang on!" Ronnie said as we crossed the blacktop at about 40mph. Again, Lady Luck was with us as we crossed unscathed. As we got closer to Hima the car began to slow down and eventually we came to a stop behind the Horse Creek Grade School. It was a ride I will never forget.
Ronnie, Anthony, Jessie and I took hold of the wooden pumping handle one more time and began the trek of over a mile back up Paw Paw. When we came to the place where we had taken the railcar from, we stopped and scotched a wheel with wooden wedge. What we did was dangerous, to say the least, but in another way it was one of excitement and exhilaration.
The next day was Saturday and you would have thought we had had enough after nearly getting killed the day before, but not us. We were up early that day and right back to the little railcar. This time we brought a wooden hoe handle from home so that we would have brakes. We pumped her up the hollow time after time but never without that brake handle, I made sure of that.
We were brave, but not stupid. Some even called me a chicken but I told them, "I had rather be a live chicken, than a dead duck." We all had a good laugh.
After that weekend the rail workers came and took the little buggy away forever and we never saw it again. But that weekend was one that I will remember forever, thanks to L & N and their little wooden pump-car.

The 'new' Horse Creek…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
In the fall of 1964 the old Horse Creek Elementary was empty. A new school had been built at the junction of 80 and 421. Several other small schools in the county had also closed their doors to form a much bigger Horse Creek Elementary. The school was beautiful and everything was new and I was entering into the sixth grade.
Driving up to the school I still remember how awestruck I was of the school. The place where we unloaded our new bus was covered to keep us out of the rain. Large wide sidewalks surrounded the school and freshly mowed grass was everywhere. At the old school you couldn't have found a blade of grass. The schoolyard had been worn barren from the many years of students playing kid games.
The front of the school had large glass windows and the floors looked like they should have been in the White House. The floors shined like a fresh frozen pond in winter. At the old school we only had a concrete floor in the lower part with wooden stairs and wooden floors upstairs. This place was so different, I thought.
We had our "Welcome" meeting in the gymnasium. We were greeted and introduced to the teaching staff in a big ceremony by our principal from the old school, T. C. Gregory. Most every teacher from old Horse Creek was there so I felt right at home.
The gym was a huge room with a stage and ceilings as high as the sky almost. I had never been inside a gym much less one with a basketball court. I thought it was strange that the gym had a goal at each end. I couldn't keep myself from just staring around at the expanse of it all. A big change from the dusty dirt court we played on at the old school where we were constantly loosing our basketball in the nearby creek.
The gym also had a large curtain that separated it from a place Mr. Gregory called a cafeteria. I found out later it was a place where we would eat our dinner. The cafeteria was filled with tables and surrounded by chairs where students ate their meals together. It was good to also see a couple of familiar faces in the kitchen, Ruth Hacker and Maudie Fisher.
In the meeting Mr. Gregory told us we would have Physical Education classes, "PE for short", he said. When he said that I wondered to myself, what exactly was physical education? I could only imagine it was one of those talks about growing up between boys and girls that my Daddy had already had with me. "Not again!" I murmured to myself.
But, when he told everyone that we would have to buy a pair of tennis shoes or go barefoot when we were taking PE classes I knew was on the wrong trail.
1964 turned out to be the year I got my first pair of tennis shoes. Momma went to the Dollar Store and bought each of us a new pair. The shoes only cost a dollar a pair, believe it or not. Boy, have things changed since then. Kids today cry if they don't have a pair that cost $100.00.
Pearl "Jaybird" White, was my gym teacher and basketball coach on the Horse Creek Knights ball team. He was so proud of the new school and gym. If you got on the floor you had better have on your tennis shoes or you would have to answer to Jay Bird.
Grades 1- 4 made up the "Little" wing and 5 – 8 the "Big" wing. There were two classrooms for every grade. I didn't like that idea because now my friends from the old school and I were separated into classes with the new students from the other schools.
That year I didn't much like the class I was assigned to. I wanted to be in the same classroom as my best buddy Charles Webb. I even left my class on the first day and went with him to his but the teacher made me return. I was unhappy to say the least.
One of the most welcomed differences at the new Horse Creek was we had bathrooms and water fountains on each wing. No more outside toilets with that awful smell on a hot summer day. The bathrooms also had private stalls with commodes that flushed and sinks to wash your hands in with big mirrors to freshen-up in.
The water fountains in the halls had a cool drink anytime you wanted it with no cup required. That doesn't sound like much today but let me tell you back then, that was high cotton for a Horse Creeker.
The new Horse Creek School stood proudly on the hill at the junction for over 40 years until the School Board decided to close it down. It broke my heart to see my school empty. I wondered, "Why Horse Creek?" For the first time in over 100 years there wasn't a school located on Horse Creek.
The teachers and students were scattered around the county to the other schools. That overloaded Hacker Elementary to where it had to be closed down to make room for the extra kids. Where did they go while the renovation was going on? Back to Horse Creek. It didn't make any sense at all to me.
The school sat almost empty and was only used for storage until this year when Campbell-Reed started taking their students to the Horse Creek Elementary. Where did they come from? The old Manchester Elementary School in town. If this sounds like a juggling act to you, I would have to agree.
I wonder sometimes about what people call progress. Most of it usually involves tearing down or destroying something that was perfectly all right to start with. The property where the old Horse Creek School stood is now a parking lot for a church. And the new Horse Creek is now home to Campbell-Reed students.
For the past few years I kept hoping that Horse Creek would somehow re-open but now, that hope is dim.
I never have understood the thinking that was involved by closing down "my" school. But one thing is for sure; it sure has left a big hole in a lot of hearts.

The Old Horse Creek…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
The first 5 years of my schooling was at the old Horse Creek Elementary School located between Sibert and Hima. The only thing there now is a blacktopped parking lot for the new Horse Creek Baptist Church. The school was left empty in the spring of 1964.
A new, more modern school was built about two miles away. I entered the sixth grade at the new school in the fall of '64. Boy was it different.
We had come a long way it seems in just a few years. In the first two years on my schooling I walked to the two-story concrete block building that I called my school. Then the bus started picking us up and bringing us to school. That in itself was quite an achievement.
In the early years walking to and from school was a two-mile trek each way. But that's the way it had been done for many years before me. It took us about 30 minutes to get there. On the way other kids joined in to the lines of students making the same journey.
We walked the dirt road to the mouth of Yeager Branch and then we could either walk the dirt road to Sibert or split off and take the railroad tracks to Sibert. Either way it was usually dusty walking the road and dirty from the three tipples that were constantly loading coal onto the coal-cars sitting on the railroad track.
I would take the tracks most of the time. I liked to see if I could walk the rail all the way to Sibert without falling off. Back then my balance was better. We would sometimes have races running the tracks for long spans before a competitor fell off or just gave up.
Arriving at school our family would break up with each brother or sister going their separate way. My 1st and 2nd grade classes were downstairs in the old school. Making it to the top floor meant I was now considered a young man. The teachers at old Horse Creek were the cream of the crop. I feel so lucky to have had teach me so much that has molded me into the person I am today.
There are many great memories of my school where I spent the first 5 years of my education. So many, that I decided to share with you, in a few brief lines, a little more about old Horse Creek.
There were no inside bathrooms at the old school. Every kid, when they had to go, had to go outside. We had two outhouses out by the creek. They had to be replaced each time there was a big flood. I often wondered, where did those outhouses end up downstream?
We also never had water fountains. What we did have was a water bucket on a table in the rear of the class with a dipper. Each kid brought his or her own cup for drinking water. I remember one of my favorite cups was an aluminum one that collapsed to a small round circle about a half-inch thick. Pretty smart invention, for the time.
Every teacher had a paddle. Yes, I know it's hard to believe but teachers were not only allowed to punish kids, most parents encouraged it if a kid stepped out of line. I am a firm believer that if punishment were reinstalled in the school system we would have better kids. Kids today know that teachers cannot punish them so they do as they please. Bad decision!
We started each day with prayer and standing at attention, with our hand over our heart, all joined in with, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
I think if you are an American you should make this pledge without thinking you're going to make someone mad by doing it. My belief is, "If you don't like America, and what this country was founded on, then get out!" It's that simple.
We sang all the old songs like: Yankee Doodle, Oh' Susanna; She'll Be Coming Around The Mountain; Three Blind Mice; A Hunting We Will Go; Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight; Shoo Fly; The Ants Go Marching In; I'm A Little Teapot; Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone; One, Two Buckle My Shoe; Ten Little Indians; Peter Cottontail; Polly Wolly Doodle; Red River Valley; There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea; and who could forget Row, Row, Row Your Boat. I doubt if any of the younger kids today could sing these songs.
At recess we played games of Red Rover, Ring Around the Rosies, London Bridge, The Farmer in the Dell, hopscotch, marbles, whip-crack, kick-the can and the most popular game of all, tag.
The best way to get out of class was volunteering to dust the erasers from the chalkboard, go get a fresh bucket of drinking water, or a much-needed trip to the outhouse. You had to keep one thing in mind about a trip to the outhouse, when you went to the toilet, half the school kids were watching through the big windows. I always thought it was embarrassing to go to the bathroo
There were no computers back then. Everyone had to learn their multiplication tables. Cursive writing was taught in class. We had to know all of the United States locations on a map and their capitols. We had to memorize all the Presidents in order from George Washington to President Lyndon Johnson.
Speaking of Presidents I will never forget the day John Kennedy was assassinated. I was in the fifth grade and on the bus rid home, some kid on the bus shouted something I will never forget, "Roses are Red, Violets are Black, Kennedy would better, with a knife in his back!" How cruel, I thought, to say that about our dead President.
Times have changed so much since those days (and not many for the better I must say!) that it's scary. But to many, just like me, those were "the good old days" and you know what they say, "… when they're gone, they're gone for good".
I'm just so thankful I got to attend the old Horse Creek Elementary. I wouldn't trade those memories for nothing. But things were a changing. In the fall of '64 the new Horse Creek Elementary would open and with it a whole new way in education.

A lot of retailers talk about implementing customerand associate-facing mobile technologies, but GameStop has done so — and they're way ahead of you. Here's why.
Questioning Call Center Relevancy
Eager consumers are rapidly blurring the line between back-to-school and holiday spending while the call center adapts to remain relevant in 2014 and beyond.
Managing The Risk/Reward Payoff Of Retail Globalization
Every retailer that has expanded into foreign markets knows that globalization adds layers of complexity to every aspect of doing business, creating greater exposure to failure and risk.
How Retailers Can Improve Their Network Security
Here are the four things retailers need to consider when adopting mobile technologies to boost their omni-channel operations.
Too Small For An ERP?
Sports Basement runs five stores with a sixth on the way. Is the retailer too small for SAP?
PCI Scrutiny: Is The Middle Market Next?
Beyond the Tier 1 spotlight, the path to POS systems security is besieged with challenges. But how would middle-market retailers react to increased PCI oversight?

|E-Commerce's Role In Omni-Channel Success
|LP's Vital Role
|New technologies are helping small to midsize retailers understand their business better and are leveling the playing field with the big retailers.
|An integral part of omni-channel success, e-commerce must undergo efficiency gains in fulfillment and synchronization with brick-and-mortar to improve the overall customer experience.
|By leveraging technology along with training and development, LP shares data that benefits the entire enterprise.
Bringing The UHD/4K Technology Hype From In-Home To Retail Market
Discussion about Ultra High-Definition (UHD) displays and 4K (cinema-grade 4Kx2K chip set) projectors filled the conference room floor at InfoComm14 this year. Manufacturers and retailers alike wanted to know how UHD/4K technologies could improve sales and take their business to the next level.
How Retailers Can "Manage the Moment" This Holiday Season
The holiday season is the most profitable time of year for retailers, and from the time those first decorations go up until midnight New Year's Eve, store managers are eager to make every moment count. Doing this successfully is a delicate balancing act, requiring an ability to adjust staffing, inventory, product placement, pricing and promotional strategies on a dime if needed. Statistics about last season's traffic counts and sales are useful for corporate decision-makers, but won't help address an unexpected surge of shoppers or an out-of-stock issue as it's happening.
In Retail, Every Phone Call Counts
Picture this: You only have one employee at the front desk. There's a customer in the store asking that employee a question. Then, suddenly, the phone rings. What's the employee to do? If he abandons the customer to answer the phone, that customer will feel neglected. Yet if he lets the phone ring to finish with the patron, the odds are greater than not that whoever's on the other end won't call back. If you don't answer the phone, there's another business out there that will.
5 Key Business Drivers For Labeling In A Global Supply Chain
In today's fast-paced global economy, it's critical to identify, understand and measure how certain business drivers impact your supply chain and your company's business growth. To do so, you must consider the critical role that labeling plays in meeting the demands of key business drivers.

72% of Consumers Splurge On Themselves – But What Do They Buy?
Consumers do not seem hesitant to splurge on themselves, particularly since data shows that overall U.S. consumer confidence in personal finances is higher now than one year ago. The majority of U.S. consumers take opportunities to splurge – but their choices on what that splurge involves vary widely.

The Roadmap To Source Tagging For Retailers
One of the keys to retailer profitability is availability. Put simply, if a product is not on-shelf in store, then it is a lost sales opportunity. Failure to deliver is likely to result in consumers either taking their business to another retail outlet, or more likely, ordering from a rival digital channel.

Costco, BJs Wholesale Club, and Sam's Club are the leaders in the wholesale space. But, Boxed, a warehouse shopping startup for mobile is shaking things up for the warehouse giants. Since its launch, it's been reported that Boxed is a Costco reseller, but Boxed's CEO and co-founder, Chieh Huang has not commented heavily on the topic. No matter the status of the relationship, brick-and-mortar warehouse clubs aren't going anywhere. But, Boxed does have a few tricks up its sleeve — no membership fees, free shipping on orders more than $75, and disruptive technologies to ease the distribution process.
Transaction Security: Intel Grabs The Reins
It's becoming hard to recollect a major retail banner that hasn't been compromised by transaction data theft. Chances are, at least a few of the tier-1 retailers that just popped into your mind have had their day in the public spotlight after their customers' personal card data was exposed and/or collected by malware.
Security Officer Turned CEO: J.C. Penney Puts Pragmatism Back At The Helm
In Tier 1 retail, "VP of LP" and "director of asset protection" are not typically stepping stones on the path to the CEO's desk. But Marvin Ellison, who served in those roles for both Home Depot and Target from 1987 through 2004 before becoming EVP at Home Depot, isn't your typical retail executive.
Not Sure How To Embrace Innovation In Retail? You're Not Alone.
I recently attended SAP Retail Forum, which was held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Over the years, I've attended several SAP Retail Forums, and just like Forums past, this year's delivered a razor sharp message about retailers' need to simplify, transform, and innovate. Indeed, the message should resonate with all retailers, SAP customers or not — the future of retail is right now.
A Merry Christmas For Mobile Commerce?
New research released by CFI Group last week indicates that this is going to be a breakout quarter for e- and m-commerce. Considering that the 45% of consumers who said they'd spend 40 percent or more of their holiday gift-giving budgets online in 2013 has swelled to 51 percent this year, and nearly a third will spend more than half of their holiday budgets online in 2014, it appears consumers continue to embrace the channel.

Players and coaches alike poured onto the field in celebration after Jesus Camarena's fourth extra point of the game broke Woodland's three-game losing streak and gave the Wildcats their first 5-AAAAA region win since mid-September.
"It has been a long time coming," said coach Vince DiLorenzo, who last wore a postgame smile following Woodland's 13-12 victory over New Manchester. "It's a good feeling to finally win a game in which everybody played their hearts out."
Tied at 21-21, hearts raced throughout the visiting side of Dave Hardin Stadium, as the Wildcats were given second and third lives late in the fourth quarter.
The Patriots twice lined up for potential game-winning field goals, only to see their chances for victory self-destruct.
A 20-yard field attempt with 2:42 remaining missed wide left. A 40-yard field goal try was blocked with 38.9 seconds remaining.
"Our offense gave us the points we needed to win, and our defense and special teams came up with the big plays," DiLorenzo said.

Can anyone help. The top limb on my Martin Fury has developed a nasty crack so I would like to know if I can source new limbs. When I bought the bow the dealer did not have the 55-70lb limbs for a fury so he took them off a rage as he said that apart from the top transfers they were the same thing. So I had a Martin Fury bow with Fury cams and limbs that had Rage transfers on them. This bow has been very good but now that this crack has appeared I would like to find some new limbs. The dealer over here in the UK asked me what numbers where on the side of my limbs (10M) but he said all he had in stock was 7H? Can anyone tell me what these numbers mean and where I can get the correct limb from?
The other question was regarding the limb pocket shape, I was asked is it round or square? Mine is square but I don't understand this, did the Fury's limb pockets get redesigned???

Why Buy a Sleeper Sofa from Rooms To Go?
Comfort: Sometimes, your own bed just doesn't do the trick. Late at night when you're craving a snack and wake up to raid the refrigerator, you know that heading back to bed will only lead to an argument with your spouse about courtesy. After all, they do have to work in the morning. One of the convenient things of owning a sleeper sofa is that it provides an extra sleeping space that retains all the comfort of your personal bed.
Selection: The Rooms To Go online catalog of sleeper sofas includes a wide range of styles and designs to fit rooms both large and small in practically any theme. Choose from sectional sofa sleepers able to aesthetically fill space in large living areas or twin sleeper chairs that make for perfect centerpieces in smaller living spaces. Our inventory offers leather sleeper sofas that blend well with modern and contemporary fashions as well as comfortable sleeper sofas made from rich fabrics like Microfiber.
Versatility: The best sleeper sofa is one that lives up to the dual nature of its name. Nobody wants a comfortable couch that transforms into an uncomfortable Frankenstein of a sleeper sofa, or vice versa. At Rooms To Go, we take care to create and sell quality sofa sleepers able to host family movie nights, game days, and holidays, as well as your late-night snack cravings and monster-movie marathons, with ease and ample accommodation.

She Owns It
Portraits of women entrepreneurs.
In my last post, She Owns It business group members looked back on what it took to survive 2012 and talked about their goals for the New Year. This post continues that conversation.
Deirdre Lord, who owns the Megawatt Hour, said her company has come a long way since it began operating in December 2011. Back then, it offered just one product to help its commercial and industrial clients manage, track, and forecast their energy usage and expenses. But Ms. Lord said the company learned more about its customers' needs through conversations that provided important feedback. "It's not one-size-fits-all," she said. As a result, the company now offers three products. Read more…

Cooking is one the great joys of some people's days. For others, it's a nightmare. Want to join the first group? Read on to find out some tips to make cooking easier and more enjoyable for you. You may just find that cooking isn't nearly as bad as you thought.
Make sure that you defrost your vegetables before you put them in the cocktail machines if you are planning to cook them this way. This will allow you to achieve the best texture with table cloth hire, while not sacrificing the taste of your vegetables. After cooking, add your vegetables to a main plate as a side dish.
When cooking a big meal, try to do your prep work the night before. This saves you time when you're getting things ready for your dinner the next day. Have everything washed, chopped, and ready to go. You'll thank yourself because there is less stress the night of the big meal.
When preparing a meal for an important event, such as a date or a dinner with your boss, cook a dish you are already familiar with, including table and chair hire. That would be a bad time to experiment with the unknown, whether it is an untried recipe or ingredient. Cooking will be less stressful.
Leave the bone in a roast to speed up cooking. By leaving the bone in, heat moves to the inside of the meat faster, speeding up the cooking process. Because the bone transmits heat, the entire roast cooks more evenly throughout the cut of meat by leaving it in rather than removing it.
Hopefully, this article helped you with some easy tips to make cooking a better experience in your daily life. When you know a little more about what you're doing, it always makes it easier, not to mention less stressful! Remember, cooking is an art, not a science, so relax and just enjoy playing with your food!

text: I was out shooting this afternoon, and when I was done I put the bow away and a few minutes later heard a loud noise in the basement, so I go to find out what happened, and the bow string had snapped. How do I figure out if I have any damage to the bow. I would imagine it can't be good for the string to let loose like that, or is it OK? The cable was still intact, just the string had snapped.

I'm not too good at the science of archery so I thought I'd pose the question to those who understand such things.
Assuming an foc of 10% with a point weight of 75 grains in an arrow weighing 275 grains, how will a Bohning X vane shield cut 1.5 inches affect the flight of the arrow compared to the same vane 2.25 inches.
I hope that's clear and I hope someone can provide some insight.

Perhaps the album's dominant influence is that of the late Doug Sahm, whose Sir Douglas Quintet was a Tex-Mex trailblazer. Sahm's spirit is channeled here through two songs he wrote--"I'm Not that Kat (Anymore)," sung by John Hiatt, and the jazzy "The Song of Everything," performed by Raul Malo--and another one he recorded, "Talk to Me," given a soulful reading by Delbert McClinton. However wide the musical range, the results rarely fall short of super. --Don McLeese
