Why Pros Prefer Unsalted Butter
Professional bakers prefer unsalted butter for many reasons. Salt can hide off flavors, so unsalted butter must necessarily be fresher than salted. Also, unsalted butter allows the baker to add the amount of salt he or she prefers. (A stick of butter can contain from ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt, depending on the manufacturer.) Because salt acts as a preservative, unsalted butter turns rancid more quickly than salted, so use it within a couple of weeks of its use-by date or freeze it for longer storage. If you must use salted butter, omit the salt in the recipe.

Decorating Ideas for Vintage Finds
Color a collection [1]
What a little spray paint can do! Choose a single standout hue to turn a jumbled collection of garage sale finds into a unified display for a wall, mantel or shelf.
Start with a group of related (but not necessarily matching) items. You could use a pile of old brass candlesticks, a menagerie of kitschy animal figures or a stack of tarnished trays. Our pick: a variety of dinged-up kitchen gear from antiques and thrift stores. Remove dirt and dust with a damp cloth. Spray on primer, then apply the final color with a light back and forth motion for even coverage. You may need a couple coats for rich, uniform color. (We used Krylon indoor/outdoor Cherry Red paint in gloss, krylon.com [2]).
Fill a room [5]
In this Minnesota living room, bargain chipped-paint furniture brings low-maintenance style, while one-of-a-kind finds take on new, fun uses: An enamel casserole dish becomes a flower pot; a 1950s salon hair dryer gets new life as a floor lamp; patchwork feed sacks cover a pillow on the sofa. Upholstering vintage iron patio chairs with red-and-white feed sacks makes them indoor-ready.
Shutter display [8]
Hang shutters horizontally to display photos, postcards or letters. Use double-stick tape to hold items in place if needed.
Suitcase stack [11]
Create an unusual bedside table from a stack of vintage suitcases. Place on an inexpensive crate or stand for extra height.
Family photo holder [14]
A salvaged postcard holder becomes an instant display area for family photos. A fun way to organize: Fill each column with photos from a different year or event.
Door decor [17]
The old door leaning against a wall is a versatile vintage find because its back side is an awesome blue color. Depending on the time of year, the Illinois homeowner flips the door over for a new look.
Coffee mug holder [20]
A retro battery rack snagged for $30 at a flea market becomes a clever holder for a collection of thrift-store coffee mugs.
Mantel headboard [23]
A weathered mantel gets new life as an eyecatching headboard—and a display shelf for mementoes.
Letter display [26]
Old handwritten letters are strung across an empty frame with jute twine to create a pretty vintage vignette.
Vintage finds for a bathroom [29]
A soda pop cooler becomes a colorful and creative sink. For unusual molding, this Minnesota homeowner applied yardsticks above corrugated steel wainscoting. To coordinate with the sink, she mixed red and green sticks.
Display and organize [32]
Mason jars, milk bottles and other glass containers take a charming turn as vases—or places to corral paper clips, rubber bands, pens or pencils.
Shutter decor [35]
Salvaged shutters add interest and texture to walls. Simply prop behind furniture, or secure to walls.
Create a centerpiece [38]
Not sure what to do with your quirky collectibles? This homeowner's old lightbulbs, in varying colors and shapes, create a striking focal point for the dining room table.
Vintage shelves [41]
Weathered planks serve as display ledges for vintage finds. Muted colors unite the varied collectibles.
Doorknob decor [44]
Glass, marble or metal doorknobs make fun clothes or curtain hooks.
Another idea for doorknobs: Turn them into a picture holder. Attach two or three to a wall and prop a picture frame between the knobs and the wall.
Window wall art [47]
An old barn window becomes intriguing wall art. The reproduction chair upholstered in feed sacks adds to the vintage appeal.
Timeless accents [50]
Old pocket watches from a flea market provide a tabletop accent.
Wine holders [53]
Use old canning jars to serve wine.
Serene blue [56]
In this serene blue master bedroom, an old window stands in for art above the bed, and a vintage chest adds pretty color on the nightstand.
Mail stop [59]
A salvaged porch railing serves as an attractive—and useful—mail stop. Sort correspondence by slats rather than stacking it in piles.
Under glass [62]
One way to display unusual finds such as these vintage lightbulbs: Put them under a glass bell top or cloche.
Simple vintage art [65]
Old photos—on a clipboard or hung with clothespins—are easy wall decor.
Button up [68]
Old buttons become works of art when hung on wall displays. Consider grouping by color, shape or material.
Water filter [71]
A vintage water filter fills a nook in this dining area.
Candle holders [74]
A meat grinder cleverly holds a candle for an entertaining tabletop. At an outdoor party, try attaching the grinders along a buffet-table edge. Deep-fryer baskets with pillar candles inside make great luminarias!
Fireplace fillers [77]
Create a playful fireplace display with old globes, as these Ohio homeowners did. Glue holds the globes in place.
Fun and games [80]
Old board games make colorful wall art—and who cares if some of the pieces are missing?
Sports theme [83]
Grouping sports collectibles in one room increases their stylish impact. Arrows in a thermos are an everlasting alternative to flowers in a vase.
Kitchen space saver [86]
Instead of piling fruits in a basket, save counter space by suspending an old grocery scale from a ceiling hook.
Recycled storage [89]
Hard-sided suitcases store files on a shelving unit.
Bottle opener [92]
Put a vintage bottle opener to good use by attaching it to a kitchen table—preferably a vintage one!
Stylish crates [95]
Add drawer pulls to inexpensive wooden crates to make them easier to pull out from shelves.
Clever caddy [98]
A metal caddy scored at a thrift shop holds canning jars that keep everyday forks, knives and spoons handy.
Outdoor wall art [101]
Salvaged items—including grates, grills and picture frames—look perfect on weathered outdoor walls.
For more ideas on using recycled or salvaged items in your garden, click on the link below.
Pretty and practical [105]
Vintage hard-sided suitcases tucked beneath a bedroom side table are pretty and practical. They hold linens and clothes.
Retro camp style [108]
Late '50s boy-theme curtains inspired this room. A totem pole lamp and a throw covered with vacation pennants create classic camp style.
Desktop organizer [111]
This flea-market find—a sugar mold—makes a perfect workspace organizer. It's deep enough to store scissors, a hole punch and other office necessities.
Dresser dress-up [114]
Favorite items are grouped on the dresser: a vintage fur collar, a glass jar full of perfume jars and an old tiara.
Farmers' finds [117]
An apple-picker's pouch hangs around to gather magazines.
More ideas for farm tools: A pitchfork attached to the wall pitches in as an easy coatrack; a rake head becomes a hanger for small garden tools.
Repurpose toolboxes [120]
Small toolboxes can hold spice jars; larger ones can control desk clutter.
A different kind of light [123]
Distinctive ceiling light fixtures turned upside down work as candleholders.
Side table grate [126]
A metal heating grate serves as a garden side table when placed on top of an urn.
Bread box vase [129]
A tin bread box makes a unique vase or plant pot (just line it so it doesn't rust—and punch a drain hole).
Repurposed silverware [132]
Tarnished silverware becomes a clever decoration on the framework of a lampshade.
Creative uses for old toys [135]
Leave the expensive toys to collectors; the ones that still work cost hundreds. Instead, think how broken-down toys can serve as conversation-starters. Tin dump trucks, for instance, can be home base for the remote control.
Other toy ideas: Game pieces, such as dominoes, poker chips or checkers, give small magnets playful personality when you glue them together; vintage dollhouses make interesting bookcases.
Put workshop tools to work [138]
Vintage wooden molds make stylish dresser-top organizers. Another idea for a workshop tool: A wood carpenter's level as a narrow photo ledge.
Group collectibles [141]
Grouping collections maximizes impact. Here, glass containers show flatware prettily, but you can also try old pots, pitchers, baskets, trays, and bowls to corral and display.
Plate holder [144]
A curly building corbel becomes a plate display piece.
Book helpers [147]
Wood pulleys pair up as clever bookends.

It's been many years since Dallas-area resident C.L. Nathanson left the bitter cold winters of Winnipeg for the bearable facsimiles in Texas. However, she recalls the 45-below-zero temperature in Manitoba the very day she vacated Canada.
"Never again," she said.
Nathanson talks about Portage and Main, an intersection in Winnipeg's banking district that is reputed to be the windiest in all of Canada. Skies could be sunny and clear, making one think the Canadian air to be bearable.
"But the air was so cold, it would freeze your lungs," Nathanson said.
Nathanson said many Canadians have remote car starters, devices that send signals that start their vehicles defrosting and heating while the people stay inside, a must in the Great White North that is more and more in demand in the U.S.
"It all boils down to the perceived value of the customer," said Mitch Schaffer, who has sold and installed remote car starters in eastern Pennsylvania since 1994. "It doesn't just boil down to being lazy," Schaffer said.
Starters May Save Gas
He said that the time required to walk outside, start a car and wait for it to warm up is the same as if a person were to start the car from an inside location. The benefit is in not having to bundle up, crawl inside a freezing vehicle and do the dirty work yourself.
"I use mine every day (in the winter)," he said.
In fact, having a remote car starter might just save drivers money by improving gas mileage during colder months, he said. Because oil reduces the friction required to make a car engine run, and because oil thickens in cold weather, an engine not properly warmed up will have to work harder once you're on the road reducing gas mileage.
Some residents in cold-weather states use block heaters to warm engines, allowing drivers to start their cars without long periods of fuel-wasting idling. However, a driver without a remote car starter still has to walk outside to start the car.
"It's basically a comfort thing," he said.
For Kati Armbruster, though, having a device to start her car automatically is more than a requirement for comfort. Her family lives in Fairbanks North Star Borough of Alaska, where it's not unusual to see temperatures dip to 50 below zero.
"That means nothing warms up well, even with an auto-start," she said.
Armbruster said people in Alaska who don't have heated garages have to keep their vehicles plugged in to allow a block heater, battery pad and an oil-pan heater to work their collective magic.
She noted that most folks there, during the winter, have to plan ahead for trips by as much as four hours.
"Most people have their cars on timers so that two to four hours before they're due to leave, the heat comes on in those warming pads to get the engine ready," Armbruster said.
Armbruster recently got a remote car starter for her newest car, but her husband's vehicles have had auto-start capabilities the past four years. She said they use it about 15 minutes before they plan to drive and for even less time if it's warm out, such as 20 degrees, which is a balmy day for that part of the country during the winter.
"Using it more than needed is a useless waste of gas, but it's certainly better to have one following a long grocery trip at 40-below or after a long night at work. Standing around or sitting in a car at that temp, waiting for it to warm up, is nearly suicidal," Armbruster said.
How Much Does It Cost?
Schaffer said the cost to install a remote car starter system can vary wildly. There are different models and styles of these systems, and there are a wide variety of options for each.
For example, remote car starters can activate heated seats, keyless entry, rear-window defrosters and trunk openers. Some even offer two-way starters, which send a signal from the car back to the remote device telling the driver whether the car is actually on or not, an important feature for anybody far away from a parked car or with a hard-to-start engine, Schaffer explained.
However, Schaffer said drivers can spend anywhere between $225 and $1,000 for an installed system. He warns, however, that installing these systems are significantly more complicated than something such as a stereo.
"Make sure wherever they buy their remote starter is where they get it installed," he said. "Not any old mechanic can install a remote car starter."
Schaffer says the potential problems caused by a poorly installed system include bogus check-engine lights and computer issues.

The deadline is approaching to reserve a campsite for seasonal or monthly camping at Minnesota state parks.
The deadline is approaching to reserve a campsite for seasonal or monthly camping at Minnesota state parks. Reservations are due Friday, April 5, according to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
At a limited number of state park campsites, visitors can stay for a whole month or a full season (May 3 – Sept. 1 at most parks, May 24 – Sept. 1 at Kilen Woods State Park).
If demand exceeds availability at a particular park, a lottery will be conducted Monday, April 8, and the park will notify applicants whether or not they were selected. If sites are available after this date, they will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. No preference will be given to monthly or seasonal campers from prior years.
For monthly campsite reservations, the entire monthly fee is due Friday, April 19. For seasonal campsite reservations, a one-month down payment is due April 19, and the remainder of the seasonal fee is due when visitors arrive to check-in. If a lottery is not necessary and sites are available after April 8, the monthly fee must be paid at the time of reservation to hold the site.

The Honeycutters close summer concert series
The Honeycutters and Bob Sinclair are set to take the Summer Tracks stage tonight at Rogers Park in Tryon for the final concert of the 2013 season.
The evening begins at 7 p.m. with Hickory singer-songwriter Bob Sinclair. A true genre blender, Sinclair's original songs bring together the sounds of jazz, country and folk.
Hailing from Asheville, the popular Honeycutters have been on tour most of this summer, and fans from across the region are expected to turn out in good number to welcome them home at this Tryon event. At their heart, the Honeycutters are the musical collaboration of singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and lead guitarist/producer Peter James. Adding their own rich talents to Honeycutters sound are Tal Taylor on mandolin, Rick Cooper on bass and Josh Milligan on drums.
Platt has been hailed as "one of the best songwriters coming out of WNC these days" by WNCW programming director Martin Anderson. Her voice has been described as "perfectly unadorned" and "recklessly beautiful." Her song "Little Bird" won second place in the general category of the Chris Austin Songwriting contest in 2011.

There are some parallels there:
Dynamic, young QB acting like a veteran.
Mind-blowing efficiency in the passing game (ie, no need to throw for 300 yards to win, excellent ball protection, consistently reasonable third-down situations).
Top-5 defense with attitude.
A defensive monster with great hair (Polamalu, Sherman)
A team coming on very strong to close out the season, replete with national media buzz (one of the biggest "piss me off" things about the SteAlers '05 SB run).
With a final win, the team finishes with the same record.
And for sprinkles on top, one wily veteran left from the previous SB run (Willie Williams, Tru).
Throw in the fact that Lynch/Turbin > Parker/Bettis, and I'm getting sort of stoked about this comparison...especially the final result.
Anybody else see these parallels, or am I smoking Christmas crack?
PS: Happy Festivus!

Okay, I found out that the city water supply is roughly 50 psi at 15gpm although I know that it would be user specific so I won't worry too much about that as you suggested.Unless you know your city water supply can match the well, with pressure to spare, don't worry about switching supplies.
You don't have utility-grade poly under 24/7 water pressure, so your system must be designed accordingly. I don't know from Silverline poly pipe, so no first-hand opinions from me.

If the well install has a pressure tank and a pressure switch controlling pump operation, you are probably fine. If pump operation will be controlled by a relay, then it's a different story, since the pump can probably generate higher pressure than the pipe can withstand. You will then have an absolute need for a pressure relief valve at the wellhead. For relay control, you definitely upgrade the mainline pipe, since there is no protection afforded by a pressure switch and pressure tank, and you must always allow for a zone valve not opening when energized.
You aren't restricted to just poly and PEX tubing. There is also sch 40 PVC, which will have a much higher pressure rating, at a competitive price. (I'm assuming pipe will be laid in open trenches)

Wet_Boots, you gave me lots of good information to consider and what you are talking about makes perfect sense in my mind and operation. I check out the website and understand what is going on. From what I gather the cycle stop valve does keep the mainline under a pressure however you get to set that pressure which makes sense. Instead of the pump pushing against a deadhead or close valve it pressurizes a tank till it reaches the cutoff value of the pressure switch. A pressure tank out in the yard would be an eye sore but certainly seems like the right way to irrigate from a well.You might consider skipping the relay in favor of a pressure switch and a small pressure tank, and to use a master valve to feed the system, so that the mainline is not under pressure 24/7 ~ the advantage of such an approach is that you aren't subjecting the mainline to excessive pressure
I looked at the design, and I don't see that you are matching zone flows to the pump performance. The pump doesn't just set a ceiling for zone flows. It also sets a floor. You need a certain minimum flow in order for the pump to not be short-cycling. I know this is where people think that relay control is better than pressure switch control, as it forces continuous operation, but what will be the mainline pressure if a zone is only using a fraction of the pump output? The answer to that question is that the pressure will be higher than you'd like. How much higher is an answer that will tell you what pipe your mainline must be.
By the way, your zone valves need to have flow controls if the supply pressure may be excessive.
One means to get a handle on pump operation and system pressures is to employ something like a Cycle Stop Valve upstream of a tank and pressure switch. That would let you employ a master valve and a mainline of the ordinary 100 psi poly.

State grants juice up incentive to drive electric car in region
Drivers of electric cars will soon have more places in southeastern Connecticut and throughout the state to recharge their vehicles, and for three years — for free.
Grants announced Monday by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will fund construction of 56 new charging stations at 42 locations, including three in New London County: at the city-owned Water Street Parking Garage in New London; at Illiano's Grill at 257 West Town St. in the Yantic section of Norwich; and at Hendel's Henny Penny convenience store and gas station at 973 Hartford Road (Route 85) in Waterford.
"Drivers will be able to juice up any time they please at no cost," said Alex Kragie, deputy chief of state at the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. DEEP is administering the grant program.
After that the charging station owners will make their own arrangements for payment. Typically, credit card systems are used, Kragie said.
The three new stations are in addition to seven existing stations in the southeastern Connecticut region: at Norwich Public Utilities, Nissan dealerships in Groton, Norwich and Old Saybrook, Crest Ford in East Lyme, the Old Saybrook Inn and National Grid offices at 300 Atlantic Ave. in Westerly. Statewide, there are about 100 existing stations.
"Our intent is to get as many charging stations as we can into the market in Connecticut," Kragie said.
The new charging station at the Water Street Parking Garage will be used as a marketing tool to bring people into New London, said Joseph Celli, manager of the garage.
"The idea is to encourage people to use the station, and to give them coupons for the coffee shops and restaurants and shops downtown to go to while their vehicle's charging," he said. "It'll bring more feet on the street."
The $4,000 grant the city will receive will be added to $12,000 the city's Parking Commission has budgeted for the project, Celli said. Two stations each capable of charging four cars at a time will be built. One will be "highly visible" on a paved area outside the garage facing the ferry terminals and train station, and the other will be inside the garage.
"We've already been meeting with electricians and working on getting the building and zoning permits," he said.
Electric car drivers will be able to locate the charging stations through cell phone apps and on DEEP and state Department of Transportation websites, Celli said. No appointments will be needed.
"People can just show up," he said.
Grants were also awarded in eastern Connecticut for stations in East Haddam, Guilford and Madison and two at the University of Connecticut in Storrs.
Adding the 56 new stations will help alleviate "range anxiety" for owners of electric cars, Malloy said in a news release.
"Our goal is a network of charging stations that allows anyone driving an electric vehicle to travel anywhere in our state with total confidence that they will be able to recharge their car battery when necessary," he said.
The grant funds have already been distributed and construction of the stations is expected to begin soon. According to the terms of the grant, the stations must be operating by Jan. 1, Kragie said.
Funding for the grants, which total $135,946, comes from provisions of the April 2012 settlement agreement with the state that allowed for the merger of Northeast Utilities and NStar. The grants are being awarded to 36 municipalities, businesses, college campuses and organizations. Some will install charging stations at multiple locations, and others will build charging stations that can service multiple vehicles at once.
The grants range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the specific requirements of each project and the technology being used. The grants will cover part of the cost of hardware and installation, with the remaining funds coming from the grant recipient.
The grant announcement follows last week's announcement of an agreement among the governors of Connecticut and seven other states to promote the use of so-called zero-emissions vehicles in order to put 3.3 million of them on the road in the next dozen years. Malloy said the grants will help Connecticut meet the goals of the eight-state agreement.
DEEP Commissioner Daniel Esty said that expanding the use of electric cars will cut costs for drivers, while also improving the environment and public health by reducing carbon dioxide emissions from gas-powered vehicles.
"Cars and trucks burning gasoline and diesel are one of the largest sources of air pollution and greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change," Esty said. "By reducing the number of them on the road, we will clean our air, combat climate change, and reduce the incidence of respiratory ailments among our residents."
William Dornbos, Connecticut director of Environment Northeast, a nonprofit research and advocacy organization, said the program is "a tremendous signal to consumers that now is the time to buy an electric vehicle."
Where to charge up
Recipients of vehicle charging station grants include:
• City of New London, $4,000 for two indoor-outdoor units at the Water Street Parking Garage with capacity for four cars.
• Hendel's Henny Penny convenience store and gas station, 973 Hartford Road (Route 85), Waterford, $4,000 for two outdoor wall-mounted units.
• Illiano's Grill, 257 West Town St., Norwich, $2,100 for one outdoor pedestal unit.
• Ballek Garden Center, 900 Maple Ave., East Haddam, $2,000 for one outdoor wall mounted unit.
• Davis Realty, 837-12 Boston Post Road, Madison, $5,000 for one outdoor pedestal unit.
• Perk on Church, 20 Church St., Guilford, $5,000 for one outdoor pedestal unit.
• University of Connecticut, Storrs, $4,000 for two indoor pedestal units at the north and south parking garages.

A crowd of people migrated to the core of the city Friday, hungry for apples and bushels of fun. It was the first hours of the 67th annual North Carolina Apple Festival, and vendors were already vying for new customers.
A crowd of people migrated to the core of the city Friday, hungry for apples and bushels of fun. It was the first hours of the 67th annual North Carolina Apple Festival, and vendors were already vying for new customers.
"Honey crisps, get your honey crisps!" called out a worker at the Grandad's Apples stand, holding a cutting board full of freshly cut fruit for guests to try. "They're really great to bake with."
A few blocks down the street, bakers and pie-makers had done just that, offering up mouth-watering dishes of caramel apple cheesecake and pecan praline apple bread to judges in a recipe contest. A new contender with a sour creamy apple pie took the victory.
And spectators, who worked up an appetite just watching the dishes, joined the flowing crowd down Main Street into the heart of apple paradise.
The crisp aroma of apple pies, warm apple butter, candied apples and apple slushies competed with the scents of BBQ, pizza and funnel cakes to the a-peel of customers who follow their nose.
The four-day street festival draws crowds in the thousands every year, celebrating everything apple, from apple growers to Verizon's Apple iPhones to the apples of our eyes. It's a fitting tribute to a county known as the top production capital of the state, pumping out more than 3 million bushels a year and impacting the economy by more than $200 million.
Fifteen farms participated in this year's Apple Festival, offering an abundance of crops and different varieties. Honey crisps are a top seller.
"We come every year," said Bob Johnson of Hendersonville about his 14th expedition to the Apple Festival. "We love it."
He and his wife, Donna, shared a small dish of maple walnut ice cream at a table outside of Vermontage, while a band played down the street. The Johnsons said they like learning about the different apples grown in their community, and they enjoy seeing what new shops have opened when they come downtown for the event.
It's a festival that Lyda family matriarch Mildred Lyda has known all her life. At a spry 85, she still heads Lyda Farms as its CEO. On Friday morning, she was named the fifth annual Apple Farmer of the Year.
"It's good to celebrate what is great about America," Congressman Mark Meadows told the crowd with a nod to the younger generation, which will need to carry on the tradition. Fourth-graders from Dana Elementary — many in matching purple shirts — listened quietly.
After the festival's opening ceremony, they taught Meadows the call of the Wildcats: "We are the Wildcats; mighty, mighty Wildcats!" they roared as an aid filmed their chant with an Apple iPad.
Just down the street, a vendor challenged customers to be as brave as those Wildcats.
"Go ahead. Dip your finger in the wax," dared Kasey Jackson, pointing to a lit candle at her tent.
A volunteer behind the table took the challenge. With one finger submerged in the liquid wax, she explained it was cosmetic-grade soy wax with shea butter and vitamins that double as massage oil and heat up slightly warmer than body temperature.
Jackson, who operates Element Tree Essentials in Asheville, said she made special scents for her lotion candles this year in honor of the Apple Festival. Scents of McIntosh Apples and Cinnamon Apples enticed the crowd to inch forward and take the dare.
The Hendersonville Fire Department and Henderson County EMS offered a challenge of their own — a chance for the public to save a life, offering free crash-courses on CPR.
Hendersonville Fire Chief Dorian Flowers said they are on a mission to increase public education, offering free training kits to those who sign up to learn the technique and train five others. A grant through the Community Foundation equipped the departments with 1,000 kits rescue workers hope will be used to train at least 5,000 people, giving them extra hands when emergencies strike.
"We're trying to get bystanders involved," Flowers said, adding that precious minutes can be lost in the time it takes rescuers to arrive. "The faster we can get people doing compressions, the better the chance of survival."
And for people a little wary of breathing into a stranger's mouth, he said, breathing is no longer a main priority in the first few minutes after a heart stops. The objective is to keep making steady compressions at about 100 beats a minute... or to the beat of the disco tune "Staying Alive," said Firefighter Matt Whitmire.
The importance of CPR in the minutes following a heart attack has changed the protocol of emergency crews. Rescuers now prefer to stay and work on the scene with a victim rather than stopping CPR to transport them to a hospital. The Hendersonville Fire Department responded to 13 cardiac arrests between November and May. Of those 13, eight pulses were revived on scene.
"In order to try to improve those numbers, we're trying to get bystanders involved," someone to help until help arrives, he said.

(NewsUSA) – It's the season when welcome mats will be rolled out in homes across America to greet houseguests arriving for shared meals and warmth. While friends and family are welcomed visitors, there are other, less welcome guests who don't need an invitation to enjoy the treats and trimmings the winter offers — rodents.These party-crashers generally skip the welcome mat in favor of random cracks and crevices that provide just the inside access they need. Rodent infestations are more than just an annoyance; they can contaminate food sources with feces and urine, spreading Salmonella and Hantavirus. Mice also bring in other pests, such as fleas, mites, ticks and lice, which can quickly spread throughout homes.Mice are also able to cause significant structural damage to homes. "Mice can bite through walls, wood and even electrical wires," said Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). "The damage to wiring within walls can cause house fires."As one in four homeowners reports a problem with rodents in the winter months, the NPMA offers the following steps to keep mice from becoming unwanted guests this season:* Seal cracks and holes, including areas where utilities and pipes enter the home. Fill openings with a material that is inedible for mice, such as steel wool.* Install gutters or diverts to channel water away from your home.* Store food in thick metal or plastic containers with tight lids.* Clean up spilled food right away, and wash dishes and cooking utensils soon after use.* Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.* Do not leave pet food or water bowls out overnight.* Keep bird feeders away from the house, and use squirrel guards to limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.* Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid, and keep sealed at all times.If you find rodent feces, hear sounds of scurrying in the walls or observe other signs of an infestation, contact a licensed pest professional to inspect and treat the pest problem. A list of professionals and more information are available at www.pestworld.org.

Jan. 14, 2013 CNN
The "universal background checks" now being pushed by some gun control supporters is code for closing federal loopholes on such checks at gun shows and other private sales.
U.S. law requires background checks for all people who try to buy firearms from federally licensed dealers. But federal law does not require background checks for "private transactions," like sales at gun shows. Many states have their own statutes requiring such checks for private sales.
The issue has risen high in the national conversation after the shock ignited by December's mass shooting of six adults and 20 children at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
Expanded background checks now enjoy the support of mayors in some of the largest cities in America. The idea has been embraced bygun violence survivor Gabrielle Giffords, a self-described gun owner. It's also being considered for possible legislation by a White House task force led by Vice President Joe Biden. The task force is expected to include universal background checks as part of its recommended legislation.

Nobody put Baby in a corner in Lake Lure on Saturday, but there were plenty of people on the dance floor having the time of their lives
Nobody put Baby in a corner in Lake Lure on Saturday, but there were plenty of people on the dance floor having the time of their lives.
The fourth annual Dirty Dancing Festival took place this weekend to pay homage to the 1987 cult classic film that made Patrick Swayze an icon and immortalized "Baby" with the quote, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
Part of the movie was filmed in Lake Lure, and thousands of people descended on the lake community Saturday to experience just a part of the movie they've idolized for over three decades.
Locals and out-of-towners alike came to celebrate different aspects of the movie they loved. Some were there because of the dancing. Some were there because they loved the movie soundtrack. Most were there because they loved the lead actor.
"We're Patrick Swayze fans," gushed Carol Croft.
She and three of her friends – Janice Sanford, Nancy Nivens and Debbie Zorn – made the trip from Orangeburg, S.C. The "girls' weekend" was a year in the making, Croft said.
"We wanted to come last year," she said, "but we didn't make it."
They made it this year. They watched the movie in the fields at Morse Park Meadows Friday night and carried watermelons and took dance lessons on Saturday.
For the majority of the festival-goers on Saturday – many who wore T-shirts and dressed like their favorite characters from the movie – the festival was just good fun to celebrate a movie they loved.
For Glenda Lazicki, the weekend had a much deeper and emotional meaning, however. Lazicki lost her husband, Ted, to pancreatic cancer last February. That's the same disease that took Swayze's life in 2009.
Lazicki and a large group of people were manning the watermelon carry station on Saturday. The group surrounding her was her family. Lazicki and her husband began vacationing in Lake Lure before he died. The Charleston. S.C. native discovered the festival last summer and she knew then that she wanted to be involved in some way.
"I said, 'we'll volunteer,'" Lazicki said. "I want to be a part of this."
Her entire family made the trip from Charleston to volunteer with her.
"There are no words," she said of having her family with her. "It's incredible. The support is exactly what's needed."
And it was more than just supporting Glenda Lazicki. It was honoring the family member they lost.
"This is one way to keep his legacy going and memorializing him," Lazicki's nephew, Chris Esdorn, said. By Saturday, the festival had raised more than $1,000 for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
No matter what brought the festival-goers to Lake Lure, the most popular attraction was the dance floor. Whether they were listening to the music or learning to dance with Asheville Ballet, the dance floors were covered and surrounded. People danced. People watched other people dance.
And while it's unclear if everyone had the time of their life, festival organizers had a good time bringing the movie to life for the celebration.
"It's so much fun," festival Director Joe Beyersdorfer said. "It's a timeless movie. It just works for everyone."

Hi Jeffrey, My husband and I recently purchased a Victorian row house with the typical long narrow rooms. Interestingly enough, we're both drawn to a more modern aesthetic but the house is in a good neighbourhood and we paid below market value. We're not looking to renovate just yet, but would love any ideas you might have to help with the dining room as we do entertain frequently. The room has a non-working fireplace, medium-toned hardwood floors and high ceilings. We are open to colour suggestions, keeping in mind neither of us loves the colour red.
Thank you for your help. - Lydia
A big congratulations to you and your husband for purchasing a house below market value. Not always an easy thing to do.
Years ago, I lived in a Victorian row house in Toronto and I had a dining room exactly as you described: long and narrow with a non-working fireplace. It seems typical for houses of this time period. Because it didn't have a lot of natural light, I painted the room - including the ceiling - dark, rich navy. I was on a budget, so I placed pillar candles in the fireplace and a mirror above the mantel. Voilà, instant atmosphere.
Though I loved that room, if I were to decorate the very same space today (or yours) I would take inspiration from the dining room pictured above, designed by Lori Graham (lorigrahamdesign.com). Though this photo shows only a snippet of the room, I find its chic, subtle mixing of modern and traditional elements very inspiring.
First let's talk about the colour scheme - it's not red, so that should win points with you and your husband. It is, however, an extremely sophisticated greyand-coral colour palette with black accents. I find this interesting because the colour combination is reminiscent of the Art Deco period, yet that's really the only nod to Deco, other than the use of black and white photography.
The colours were pulled from the rug, which anchors the room in a traditional feel, and then on top of it is a modern dark wood table with stainless steel details. Ms. Graham has placed chinoiserie-painted dining chairs with a strong Asian feel around the table and then to shake it up further, covered modernstyled wingback chairs in coral-coloured leather with upholstery tack trim. I love, love, love the mixing of all these styles with the expertise of a curator's eye.
The fireplace mantle is carved marble - again paying tribute to traditional with a transitional-style mirror placed over it. If you have the original mantle in your dining room, it would be great if you could work with it. Alternatively, check antique and consignment shops for one as elegant as we see in this photo. If running a gas line to your fireplace is an option, that would be worthwhile; otherwise, electrical or ethanol-fuelled fireplaces are a great way to add warmth and atmosphere. Or there's always the tried-and-true pillar candle idea I mentioned earlier. If you do this, place a piece of mirror in the firebox to reflect your candles - and consider using flameless battery-operated pillars.
I hope you and your husband find this dining room as interesting and inspirational as I do. I believe it perfectly demonstrates worthwhile ideas for how to make your Victorian dining room appear updated and modern. In fact, I wish I had mine to do over again.
Good luck and happy decorating. - Jeffrey

For many longtime Colorado football fans the Chuck Fairbanks era is defined by back-to-back losses to Drake and the wardrobe malfunction that was changing the Buffs' primary uniform color from black to blue.
As word of the legendary coach's death spread amongst the CU family on Tuesday, some of Fairbanks' players remembered a fair man and a skilled leader who may have just had bad timing in Boulder.
Fairbanks, a successful head coach at Oklahoma and with the New England Patriots before a merciless 7-26 run with the Buffs from 1979-81, died in Scottsdale, Ariz., at the age of 79 after a battle with brain cancer.
"I think that people think, or it has been said, that Chuck was a failure at Colorado. I don't believe he was a failure at Colorado," said Steve Doolittle, a standout inside linebacker at CU who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 1981. "Chuck was probably ahead of his time at Colorado. He was successful everywhere he was coaching. He was a winner. ...
"His terminology and technique and game plans were the best I saw. It translated to me."
In six seasons (1967-72) leading the Sooners, Fairbanks compiled a 52-15-1 record with three Big Eight championships, two Sugar Bowl wins and one Orange Bowl victory.
In 1973, Fairbanks left Oklahoma, where he was replaced by Barry Switzer, for the NFL's Patriots. He had a 46-39 record and two playoff appearances over six seasons with New England.
After the 1978 season, Fairbanks was lured away from professional football by an opportunity to build another winner in Boulder. But his return to the Big Eight got off to a shaky start as CU had to settle a lawsuit by New England to release the coach from his Patriots contract.
According to a Sports Illustrated article from October 8, 1979, the Flatirons Club paid $200,000 to the Pats on behalf of CU, and Fairbanks agreed to give up $105,000 due him in deferred payments from New England.
All that cash bought the Buffs was three wins in 1979. CU lost eight times, including a humbling 13-9 defeat to Drake on Sept. 22 at Folsom Field.
Bill Mallory had been fired after winning seasons in 1975 (9-3). 1976 (8-4), 1977 (7-3-1) and 1978 (6-5).
"When Fairbanks came the boosters were pulling those strings. I think the fan base was a little upset with the athletic director (Eddie Crowder) when they let Mallory go," recalled former CU offensive lineman Bruce Alison, who was recruited by the Mallory staff and lettered for Fairbanks. "He was a tough-as-nails old school coach. I know the players were upset when Mallory was let go. Fairbanks kind of had to sell us. And he did."
Selling the fan base proved to be more difficult after CU finished 1-10 in 1980, including infamous home losses to Switzer's powerful Oklahoma team (82-42) and Drake (41-22).
The Buffs were down 52-0 at halftime in the opener at UCLA and closed the brutal campaign with a 17-14 defeat Kansas State.
Before the finale with the Wildcats, Fairbanks brought Kansas State coach Jim Dickey, one of his former assistants at Oklahoma, onto the CU bus in Manhattan for some levity.
"Chuck was a smoker and had the Clint Eastwood look with the one eye closed and he said, 'Hey boys, this here's coach (Dickey) from Kansas State. I taught him everything I know about football and he can't win a damn game either,' " Doolittle said. "In other words, Chuck was an honest guy."
And a player-friendly coach.
Dave Hestera, a Pomona (Arvada) High School standout who played at Wyoming as a freshman, got a little homesick in Laramie and decided to walk on at CU.
At the end of the 1980 season, the cash-strapped student went into Fairbanks' office and asked for a scholarship so he could remain at the university.
"He gave me one and said, 'You're my starting tight end,' " Hestera said. "He took care of me. ... After my (CU) career, Chuck made some phone calls and before the day was out some NFL teams had called me and invited me to training camp because of him."
The 1981 season started with great promise after the Buffs thrashed Texas Tech 45-27 in the opener and held a late 10-0 lead over Washington State in the second game.
"We thought, 'Man, we've got a good team. Let's do this!' " said Hestera, who has worked as the chiropractor for the CU football team over the years. "Then Washington State blocked a kick and scored a touchdown. We went three-and-out and they scored another touchdown to beat us."
The Buffs finished the season 3-8. The other highlights were an 11-10 homecoming win over Oklahoma State and a 24-21 win over Kansas State on senior day at Folsom Field.
"Going into our senior year (1981), his third year, he said, 'Let's be realistic, things aren't looking bright, we're kind of down. But if we win the opener, homecoming and our last game, that's something to remember,' " Alison said. "Those were the only three we won."
Fairbanks resigned on June 1, 1982, to become the general manager and head coach of the USFL's New Jersey Generals.
Bill McCartney stepped into a difficult situation but led CU to a national championship in 1990.
"When I got hired, I replaced Chuck and I had one meeting with him," McCartney told longtime CU sports information director Dave Plati. "He said to me, 'If I had it to do over again, knowing what I know now after three years, I would recruit California and Texas hard. That would be where I would put my recruiting emphasis.'
"I found that to be very enlightening, and over time, I realized that he was right. And that's really how we rose to the top. His words were wise and prophetic."
Fairbanks was born June 10, 1933. He played football at Michigan State under legendary coach Biggie Munn and later joined Frank Kush's staff at Arizona State as a young assistant. He had a successful stint as an assistant at Houston before getting hired by Jim Mackenzie at Oklahoma and taking over the program in April 1967 when Mackenzie died of a heart attack.
Switzer credits Fairbanks for installing the wishbone at Oklahoma in 1970. Bill Belichick credits him for helping pioneer the NFL 3-4 defense and revolutionizing playbook terminology.
And those blue uniforms from the early 1980s? The credit for them actually goes to the CU Board of Regents, not the Buffs' high profile coach.
"I don't think the guys at Colorado at the time were really capable of understanding his approach," Doolittle said. "We had some fantastic players at certain positions, but for the most part they were underachievers. That's not a sleight against anyone. They just weren't big in stature. They had big hearts and they played CU football the way it was taught to them by Bill Mallory.
"Then all of a sudden this guy from the NFL comes to town and it was so different. In Chuck's playbook it all penciled out and it worked. I just don't think it translated for everyone."

Welcome to Durango signs greet the tourists, but the orange neon of No Vacancy probably sends them on their way.
Durango boasts some of the highest hotel occupancy rates in Colorado, reaching 85 percent and higher in August during the height of the tourist season, according to state lodging statistics, but 2013 should be a more inviting year.
For the first time since the Marriott Residence Inn opened in 1997, Durango is about to get a new hotel, according to the Durango Area Tourism Office. In the same period, Durango lost at least two hotels, both on North Main, while others have undergone conversions to condos.
The Holiday Inn & Suites, is set to open by mid-January, which in turn will be followed by another new hotel, a Homewood Suites, scheduled to open early this summer.
The two new inns would add a total of 194 rooms, increasing the citys inventory of 1,734 hotel rooms by 11 percent.
Hoteliers continue to see room for opportunity in Durango.
Tim Zink, portfolio manager for the Tierra Group, the developer of Three Springs, said he gets many inquiries from hotel builders wanting to accommodate the Mercy Regional Medical Center, a regional hospital that serves many patients from outside Durango.
Besides providing a place to stay for families and friends of patients, Zink said a new hotel could serve the outpatient, or the patient who does not need to stay overnight in the hospital but might be advised by their doctor to stay around for a day or two after an operation. A nurse might make a wellness check in the patients hotel room.
So far, however, no hoteliers have committed to building in Three Springs, Zink said.
In another sign of market confidence, established properties such as the Rochester Hotel and Hampton Inn have invested in their properties with remodels, noted Anne Klein with the DATO.
The remodels and arrival of the new hotels coincides with the resurgence of the lodgers tax, which grew by 9 percent in 2011 and possibly 13 percent or more in 2012 (tax revenue from December has not yet been included). The same tax revenue had declined during the recession, falling by 10 percent in 2009.
The hotel business is very cyclical, said Shara Smith-Williams, the general manager of the new Holiday Inn, just west of the interchange of U.S. highways 160 and 550.
One thing we noticed was that there was not as many full-service hotels, said Smith-Williams, who views her main competition as the DoubleTree hotel.
The new Holiday Inn was estimated to cost $7.1 million, according to its building permit filed with the city.
The 81,000-square-feet property will have 116 rooms, a ballroom to accommodate 120 and a breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurant called the Sporting News Grill. Market research confirmed Durango could support another sports bar, Smith-Williams said.
While the Holiday Inn will compete for a broad spectrum of customers and guests, from locals eating nachos and watching sports to busloads of tour groups, the Homewood Suites has a more focused approach, going after the extended-stay traveler, the type of guest who stays for a week and needs a kitchen because they cant stomach eating out for every meal.
Frank Mapel is the owner of Homewood Suites as well as the local distributor of Coca-Cola. The hotel will be in front of the Coca-Cola distribution center in Bodo Industrial Park. After considering many alternatives for the property, Mapel decided on an extended-stay hotel because of the lack of hotels serving the business traveler and the advantages of a high-visibility location along South Camino del Rio across from the Durango Mall.
Mapel feels a little jittery about opening a new 78-suite hotel that cost about $6.1 million, according to the building permit.
Its a new venture, and its still not the best of times. Things are not going gangbusters, Mapel said.
But even during the tourist off-season, Klein said it can be hard to find a room in Durango, especially during graduation weekends for Fort Lewis College or kids soccer tournaments.
Smith-Williams said the Holiday Inn is counting on local patronage, in the form of local business meetings as well as Super Bowl and March Madness parties, to stay in business.
In a small town, you cannot survive on tourists. Its so seasonal, Smith-Williams said.

Who says you have to agree? You seem to think we can't air our opinions on the matter though. I am with Largent80. Until they prove they are winners on the road, a loss to this team would not surprise. Sorry, wins are wins and losses are losses. We lose much more on the road than we win no matter how good or BAD the opponent is(Rams game anyone?). Those are the facts. So, I am hoping they surprise me. Nobody here "wants" a loss.

An 89-year-old Springfield man crashed his vehicle into the side of a home at about 8 p.m. Friday while attempting to back out of his driveway in the 1700 block of Fairfield Drive.
Police said James H. Fisher backed his 2002 Chevrolet Impala across Fairfield Drive and into the home.
Fisher, whose driver's license was confiscated, blamed the crash on the gas and brake pedals being too close, police said.
