Still Here

My how the time has flown by!! The end of 2009 was very busy, especially since I now off er pick up and delivery within 8 miles of the shop. The year ended on a good note.

Oh, well it can only hurt themselves. Hopefully the farmers' market for Berlin will get off the ground too. Has anyone out there been to SaVoir Flare in Berlin… Continue

What’s The Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations? What is the role of squalene?

By Dr. Anders Bruun Laursen “…So, as you see, there is no confusion with regard to swine flu and bird flu viruses. But there is another important consideration: the role of squalene. The average quantity of squalene injected into the US soldiers abroad and at home in the anthrax vaccine during and after the Gulf War was 34.2 micrograms per billion micrograms of water. According to one study, this was the cause of the Gulf War syndrome in 25% of 697.000 US personnel at home and abroad. You ca… Continue

Just What Is The " NORTH COUNTRY" ?

What are it's borders? How large an area does it encompass? How many People live there. What do they do there? And, " Why Should I Care?

The Economy Shuts Down History!

I went onto the Web Site for Fort #4 in Charlestown, N.H. to verify some info and got a surprise. A streaming banner message stated that they were closed for the remaining 2009 Season due to the Economy. I am assuming the Membership Dues fell off and Donations dropped. They are a Non-Profit. They did not list any Events for this year so I do not know the status of the Reenactments that were planned to take place there or how it will affect us here. Waiting on return phone calls.
