Marmot Women's PreCip Jacket
Products on Sale are Discontinued Styles or Colors.
Moosejaw Staff Pick
"The women's Marmot Precip is a grade-a rain jacket if there ever was one. The hood is big enough so that you can really pull it down and keep the rain out of your eyes. The pit zips come in handy for ventilation more than you think they will, too. I'm no badass, so I wear mine more as a casual rain jacket, and not only does it keep me supremely dry, it's also pretty cute. I also invented an Elvis sighting drinking game in this jacket. So, it for sure fosters creativity."
Kelli - Moosejaw Secret Headquarters

This is the best rain jacket ever. I keep my bright yellow jacket in my horse trailer and use it when I'm horse camping and horseback riding. Living in Florida, it's not unusual for rain to be accompanied by humidity and heat, and the armpit zips are wonderful for keeping me cooler. If it's a cold rain, I can close it up and even put a light sweatshirt under it. A little pricey but worth it!
This jacket is awesome. Got it as a gift a couple years ago. I wear it fly fishing, backpacking, camping, or just around town. Tons of colors fo the ladies. It fits true to size. I can wear layers under it no problem and it still isn't baggy without them. I have no complaints! And that's saying something given how much precip we get here in the NW.
This is a great rain jacket. It kept me dry during some crazy African weather in the winter. I sized up so I could wear a sweater underneath and be comfortable and warm at the same time. There were even nights where I slept in it to add some warmth. I thought the jacket ran a bit on the small side. When I sized up, it didn't make me look frumpy at all and was definitely more roomy.
I ordered this coat in April and wore it non-stop for those warm but wet days. I plan to take it with me to the Berkshire this summer to weather the July and August rain storms, and then bring it back to Boston for the windy fall. It's light and perfect for humid sticky days, but can be worn over a sweatshirt or Patagonia better sweater (my favorite) for colder, biting days by the harbor or in the mountains. I got the bright green and love the color.
Just gave this to my girlfriend as a birthday gift. She likes the color and style but it was to big. She normally falls between a small or medium. Someone had mentioned in the reviews that this jacket runs small. I would have to disagree as the medium on her was to long in the waist and sleeves along with being to baggy. She is 5'7" and 135lbs.Hope this helps others when trying to decide on sizing. Returning the medium for a small.
This jacket will definitely keep you dry if you ever happen to find yourself in a torrential downpour. I used to have one in green before it got swiped but upgraded to eggshell recently. The green one seemed more flexible and less crunchy when I moved but they both serve the same purpose.
If you're looking for a jacket to survive the worst rain storms, this is the jacket for you. My first experience with this jacket, I had to pack up my entire camp site in the pouring down rain. Kept me completely dry, absolutely no complaints. Have used it several times since in bad rain and has never let me down. Is dry enough to keep your cell phone on the inside of the jacket and the rain won't touch it. I am 5'6", 120lb and ordered the XS; fits perfect.
I bought this rain coat so that I'd have something breathable and waterproof. Does the job great! The fact that it folds up into itself really comes in handy if I'm not sure what the weather's going to be like. Also, since I bought it on MooseJaw I paid roughly half of what my boyfriend spent on his - win.

MERCERSBURG, Pa. - In her new book, "Equipped to Build a Godly Generation," Pennsylvania author Eugenia L. Roche focuses parents, church leaders and mentors on the Word of God and empowers them to accurately and boldly communicate His nature through helpful definitions, supporting Scripture passages, object lessons, and practical, everyday applications.
Roche believes that as God's nature becomes applicable to young people, it will transition from mere head knowledge to relevant, useful and personal truths. She hopes that, consequently, the spiritual deficit rampant throughout their generation will diminish and they too will be equipped to build a godly generation.
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Roche earned a degree in psychology from York College of Pennsylvania and a master's degree in Christian education from Antietam Bible College. Following eight years in social work, she has served as a local missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship, a released-time Bible education coordinator, an instructor of psychology at a local Bible college, a conference and special events speaker, and a substitute school teacher. She enjoys visiting family and friends, hiking, reading, and photographing nature. Roche and her husband, Richard, live in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.

Annette Markham, of the accounting firm Joan Sanders and Associates, gave council members a presentation of the town's 2012 financial audit during Monday's meeting.
Prior to 2010, the town had not passed a budget or had a subsequent audit for two decades. Although municipalities are not required by state laws to pass budgets, McCrory explained that many grant applications do require proof of regular financial audits for a period of at least three years.
"We're making progress," McCrory said. "This has been a sore spot for this city for many years."
The town's net assets increased by $66,000 at the end of the 2012 fiscal year, ending at $628,028, largely due to increased grants and contributions, the report noted. The town's general fund increased by $3,121 ending with $53,206 last year, auditors found.
Auditors did find two significant deficiencies. The report noted the town made mistakes in the way daily financial accounting information was recorded.
The audit found that as a result, auditors had to make changes to correct the town's account balances.
Also noted in the report were problems with a lack of staff at Town Hall. One employee, the report says, "is responsible for opening mail, posting receipts to customer accounts, depositing funds into the bank, posting the deposit to the general ledger and entering adjustments to customer accounts."
The report mentions that the cause of the problem is due to the town's budget constraints, which make hiring additional employees difficult.
"All in all, I'd be very satisfied with the report," Markham told the council.
After the audit's presentation, Eric Stringer, president of the Hobson City Community and Economic Development Corporation, updated council members on his nonprofit's renovation of J.R. Striplin Park.
Stringer told council members that workers and volunteers are building a pavilion at the park, and bathrooms will be installed in the coming months.
Stringer also discussed a recent trip that the nonprofit's board members took to a housing development project in Opelika.
The group is planning such a project for Hobson City, Stringer said, where a number of homes would be built and made available to low- and middle-income residents. Homeowners would rent for a certain period of time, then have the ability to buy their homes, he said.
"I can't tell you a whole lot more about that because it's in the early stages, but it's something that might happen," Stringer said. "This could be a huge shot for Hobson City."

I am making this post, because a previous thread on the topic was closed prematurely, and no real discussion had ever taken place. Please, do not lock this thread because you think you understand, show me you understand by engaging with me in discussion.
I've been a mainstay member of this board for the past six or seven years, and I would have to say, this board is on a fast track to visit the "Make Believe Era" of Weezer message boards. The new forum layout, for a time, helped breathe new life into the Weezer internet community, but it seems that the continuing questionable decisions made by moderators, is causing this place to dry out. The nucleus of this community is dying- the same community which has served as the rock by which this forum was reconstructed on.
The current condition of moderation on these boards may be put in place to protect new users, but let us not forget that a handful of these new users will one day grow to become a new community of Weezer boardies- a new nucleus. With that in mind, the new community will begin to form their own inside jokes, their own relationships, and their own ideas on what is deemed appropriate. It is not appropriate to exercise an authoritarian rule over a community which will eventually generate its own identity. If this type of rule continues to exist, you will begin to notice a decline in growth and the eventual death of these forums. In order for growth to occur, free will must exist and it must be exercised to the fullest extent.
In order to fix this problem, you must look at a little bit of history, which almost none of you were ever involved in. The community which thrived(s) on these boards was able to develop thanks to a lack of concern shown by moderators. Threads were deleted where it was absolutely necessary, and the rules were simple and easy to follow. Threads which naturally moved off topic were not deleted or locked, but were able to exist and grow on their own without the hindrance of administrative abilities. These types of threads, if I remember correctly, are what formed the relationships which sustained this community. It was not the participation of Rivers, Karl, Pat, Scott, and Brian that kept this community alive, it was the community itself, acting by itself.
What is going to happen when the current community leaves this forum and the replacement community is no longer able to act on its own? The community will cease to exist, because there will be no foundation among the members of the community. With no community to replace it, one of your most important sources for publicizing Weezer will no longer be economically viable. This would be bad for the band, who we have all loved at one point or another in our lives.
There are three things we can do to fix this problem. First you must recognize that this board is not yours, this board is ours. Without us, this forum and website would not exist, the usefulness of this board solely rests with the existence of the community. Instead of selecting your own moderators, who do not exist within the current or future community, you must select moderators who exist within this community, and you must select moderators who understand how the current community functions. This will generate respect for moderation, and in turn will help things function more smoothly. Second, you must allow the community to develop threads on their own with disregard to how far off topic things get. This will allow character to develop within the community, and will allow the members of these forums to build relationships. Once relationships are formed, the future viability of this website will be secured. Thirdly, you need to eliminate the rule that we must respect the band, because in all honesty this band (not including Karl) is the bastard father of this community, and their recent appreciation for the community is almost sickening. Most importantly, do you expect everyone to enjoy everything a band with nine albums has to offer? Let us discuss what we don't like, regardless of how silly it looks or sounds.
Now, let's discuss.

i have only been around for 2 years (well just under 2 years) i get what you're saying about the relationships between the members. at first there was some banter, a few inside jokes that i didn't understand............but if you look at me on here now i think its safe to say i fit in and i have mates here. i think if you want to be part of the online community you have to join in with the jokes keep coming back frequently, and not to come here for pointless posting, getting popular members banned, or stirring up trouble.
also this "Also, the .com community is NOT the A6 community, and the two should be moderated separately."
(hope that makes some sort of sense, i am terribly hungover)
I wholeheartedly agree with everything OiP has said. I, like Edgey, have only been on the boards for a few years, and initially when I started posting on the forums it was difficult to try to fit in with a community that was already so close; everyone knew everyone and they all had their own jokes and ways of talking to each other. However, I was received into the community and everyone was very friendly and I quickly felt like I fit right in. What this means from a moderation standpoint is that mods should be chosen who have been around a while and are familiar with the friendly banter/interactions of the members on this forum. There have been many times when a thread is locked, posts deleted, or members suspended based on something that was deemed by the mod as offensive or insulting to other members, when in actuality it wasn't. We are all friends here, and we tease each other in a friendly way that is then taken by mods as offensive.
There are some posts that definitely should be deleted because they go too far and truly are offensive, but those posts are few and far between.
Like OiP said, current members will only take this extreme moderation for so long before they all leave, and then this forum will basically cease to exist. If that's not what you want, please execute the changes necessary to keep members interested and able to interact with each other without being ridiculously over-censored.
I typed a long post about how I agree the boards will soon deteriorate to nothing and then...
Long story short: We've never had to live in fear that if we post our disagreement, we'll be banned. We've never had to worry about upsetting the under-aged users. We've never disliked the moderators.
In a nut shell, the amount of young ignorant comments both good and bad about Weezer make me ashamed to say I like the band. That plus people just posting replies such as "I totally agree!" "I love that song too!" or "I thought I was the only one who liked that!" is getting old.
OnlyinPinkerton's points should be addressed.
Signed truly,G Foo Chombey
The guidelines are really not that hard to follow. Just don't swear, post explicit images, give away copywrited music, or be excruciatingly mean to the noobs. The moderation is fine on here.
You didn't read my post, did you?

I read the title, though. My point is that the moderation is not that questionable.

I'm not really sure what you guys are talking about in regards to this being moderated like the A6 community. We have no real control or influence over A6, and that place is barely moderated at all anyway lol. I really don't see any similarities there.

CORDELE -- Talk about two-out rallies. How about a three-out rally?
Southland scored nine runs with two outs in the top of the seventh inning on Tuesday to beat Sherwood Christian Academy, 12-3, in a playoff game to grab the No. 2 seed in GISA Region 3-AAA.
And to make things worse, Sherwood actually had the third out before the rally as Anna Laine Brock struck out the first three batters in the seventh. But the third batter reached base on a passed ball.
"We had the striekout for the final out, but (the batter) reached on a passed ball, and then we just blew up,'' Sherwood coach Greg Richter said. "After the strikeout, we walked a couple of batters and then they got a few hits. Instead of batting in the bottom of the seventh with the score tied, but we blew up.''
SCA came back from 3-0 and knotted the score in the bottom of the sixth when Paiton couch, who hit a sacrifice fly earlier, doubled home Kaylee Dixon. The Lady Eagles also scored on a squeeze bunt by Casie Wright that brought home Couch.
Sherwood (15-6) will be the No. 3 seed out of Region 3-AAA, which means the Lady Eagles will be on the road in the first round of the playoffs. They play Bulloch at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Southland enjoys a home-field advantage and plays Pinewood Academy on Saturday.
Southland, Tiftarea and Sherwood all split games with each other in the regular season and were tied for first and a playoff at neutral Cordele was played to decide the seeding for the playoffs.
Sherwood was in the driver's seat because the Lady Eagles had a bye, but couldn't take advantage of it. Tiftarea beat Southland, 3-0, in the opener, and then beat Sherwood, 4-0, to claim first place.
Southland (15-10) and SCA played for the second-place seeding, and the Lady Raiders broke the game open in the seventh when Rylee Palmer hit a two-out, two-strike single to drive in two runs. Then the floodgates opened. Hannah McCain also had two strikes when she ripped a two-run triple.
Palmer was one of four players with two hits in the game. Alex Lindsey, Tobi West and Abby Harrod, who doubled, also had two hits. Palmer and Harrod each drove in three runs, and West had two RBI.
Lindsey allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out eight and walking one. Lindsey allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out eight and walking one.
-- Information from The Americus Times-Recorder was used in this report
Late Tuesday, the Lady Trojans improved to 15-5 overall behind the pitching of reigning Herald Player of the Year, Lindsay Tompkins, who allowed just two hits.
Brandi Blount, Jessi Jones and Natalie Shiver all had at least one hit, while Jones and Shiver each had an RBI as Lee took advantage of two costly errors by Crisp pitching on wild throws to score its other two runs.
The win now sets the stage for Lee County's rematch Thursday with region foe TCC, which beat the Lady Trojans earlier this year at its place. Game time is set for 5:45 p.m. in Leesburg.

A Newhall Hart student wearing a wig and dressed as Moses showed up just before the start of the third quarter of Friday night's Foothill League basketball showdown against host Valencia West Ranch and parted the red-clad student section, igniting Hart fans and adding even more fire to a fired up Hart team.
West Ranch couldn't reach the intensity level or equal the sense of urgency exhibited by the Indians, who turned a three-point halftime lead into a convincing 84-65 victory, avenging their only defeat in 22 games this season.
Sophomore guard Myles Franklin was on his game from the outset, finishing with 30 points. Lewis Stallworth, who started to do some dancing near the end of the game, had 22 points. Frank Lonsinger contributed three three-pointers.
"The fans were a big difference," Franklin said.
Added Hart Coach Tom Kelly, "We were just relentless. I'm so proud of the kids. We battled. That's all we ask."
Hart (21-1, 5-1), in reversing a 70-63 defeat to West Ranch on Jan. 8, was much more aggressive on defense, trapping the ball and making it difficult every time 6-foot-8 Ako Kaluna had possession of the ball. He had 16 points. Sophomore Ryan Beddeo kept the Wildcats (15-6, 5-1) close for much of the game, contributing 22 points. Kevin Harris added 19 points.
"We knew we couldn't stop Ako, but we didn't want Kevin Harris to get going," Kelly said.
In the first half, Hart's guards were good enough to give the Indians a 41-38 lead. Franklin and Stallworth combined to score their team's first 20 points. Franklin had 18 points at halftime and Stallworth 13. Lonsinger added a pair of three-pointers.
After being held scoreless in the first quarter, Kaluna had 10 points in the second quarter. Harris had 14 points and Beddeo 12. The crowds for both teams were vocal and enthusiastic, trying to provide a little inspiration.
It was so loud that the officials advised the coaches to come out onto the court when trying to signal a time out, and West Ranch Coach Shant Bicakci followed the instructions so much that he ran out close to the free-throw line opposite his bench trying to alert an official. He didn't get the time out but it produced a light-hearted moment, because the 25-year-old was almost a sixth player on the court for West Ranch ready to guard Franklin.
But in the end, nothing was able to top Moses and the intensity level reach by the Indians' fans and players.

The Royal Olympic Palace (5*) in Athens features an impressive architecture and design, and is situated right in front of the Temple of Zeus, just a few steps from the Acropolis, the Plaka (Old Town) and the shopping district. The wonderful mirrored facade beautifully reflects the ancient ruins, while the elegant entrance, with its statues and paintings, offers guests a warm and hearty welcome. The hotel features functional banqueting rooms, as well as two bars and two restaurants, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness room, sauna and hairdresser.

Enjoy a private port transfer in Athens with private vehicle and driver.
Welcome aboard! Meet your yacht's crew and take some time to get settled into your cabin as you'll be setting sail shortly.
Sifnos is an island municipality in the Greek Cyclades, originally inhabited as far back as 4000 BCE. The main town, near the center, is known as Apollonia, home of the island's folklore museum. The village of Kastro, built on top of a high cliff on the island's northwestern shore on the site of the ancient city of Siphnos, today has extensive medieval remains and is the location of the island's archeological museum. The port settlement, on the west coast of the island is known as Kamares, and sits on the magnificent Bay of Kamares.
The M/Y Alexandros II is a Greek luxury yacht with a sporty and vibrant appearance, and a cruising speed of 28 knots. The vessel is available for exclusive charters, and can accommodate up to 8 guests total in one master cabin, one V.I.P cabin and two twin cabins. Cruise the Mediterranean in a vessel more easily maneuvered to explore the beautiful coastlines than large cruiseliners.
Today you'll cruise for Santorini, marking the first of two consecutive days spent at this incredible island. Enjoy your view of the caldera as you sail to Santorini, a geological remnant of the catastrophic blast that lead to the rapid collapse of the Minoan civilization.
Santorini is made up of three close-knit islands, the most southerly of the Cyclades group. The islands have dramatic scenery created by a now inactive volcano situated in the centre of the main island Thira. On the west, white houses perch on cliffs that plunge dramatically to the sea; on the east there are long, beautiful beaches of black volcanic sand.
Naxos is a Greek island, the largest island in the Cyclades island group in the Aegean. It was the centre of archaic Cycladic culture. Naxos is a popular tourist destination, with several easily accessible ruins. It has a number of beautiful beaches, such as those at Agia Anna, Agios Prokopios, Alikos, Kastraki, Mikri Vigla, Plaka, and Agios Georgios, most of them near Hora. Naxos is the most fertile island of the Cyclades.
Today you'll set sail for your first of two days in Mykonos. You're likely to catch some sights of Paros or Delos on the way, or perhaps some even smaller islands that dot the Cyclades.
Mykonos is a Greek island renowned for its sandy beaches, cosmopolitan atmosphere and its intense nightlife. The island is part of the Cyclades, lying between Tinos, Siros, Paros and Naxos. Many Greek and a few international celebrities have summer residences in Mykonos and can often be spotted having dinner at a small street-side table of an expensive restaurant or in a cozy taverna. The island has a legendary nightlife featured by a vast number of bars and nightclubs, but peace and tranquility can easily be found away from these areas.
Kythnos is a Greek island and municipality in the Western Cyclades between Kea and Serifos. It has more than 70 beaches, many of which are still inaccessible by road. The island has two significant settlements, the village of Messaria or Kythnos, known locally as Hora, and the village of Driopis or Driopida, also known as Horio. Both villages are notable for their winding and often stepped streets, too narrow for vehicular traffic. The villages are very picturesque but in different architectural styles. On the northeast end of the island lies Loutra, a village famous for its thermal springs, which are said to have curative properties. Besides its numerous beaches and picturesque villages, it also is the site of one of the largest caves in Greece, Katafiki Cave in Dryopida.
After breakfast this morning, you'll disembark from your yacht with your private voyage having now come to its conclusion.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends."

Summary of Payoff Summary of Payoff Reviews for Payoff An Excerpt from Payoff
Being a telepath, I should have seen the hell I was getting myself into…
I used to be one of the most powerful telepaths in the guild. That was before my drug addiction and before they kicked me out. But I'm not a bad guy. Now I help the Atlanta PD solve murders. And even though there are only a few people I call friends, I'd do most anything to keep their trust.
So when a judge asks me to help investigate a missing college kid, I'm down for it. No questions asked. No problem. But in this dark world, things are never easy and a favor is never just a favor. Turns out, politicians don't like being murder suspects. And it's bad to anger someone with more power than you. I thought I had nothing to lose... I was wrong.

text: Last week, a plum tree was planted in Seattle. Local volunteers planted the tree in an undeveloped field that will soon be dense with lots more trees, on a sloping seven-acre swath of land in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. The forager-friendly garden will be called Beacon Food Forest, and it promises to feed, educate, and connect the community from its verdant perch just two miles from downtown Seattle. With a projected seven acres of fruits, nuts, and vegetables, it will be the nation's largest public edible landscape.

After releasing that suspects attempted to lure a 7-year-old girl into their vehicle with promises of a puppy Wednesday, Toledo Police now say the incident did not happen.
Toledo Police circulated a police report Thursday stating a man in the back seat of a pick-up truck had told a girl he had a puppy for her. Police said the girl ran inside her home and told her mother, who called police.
After investigation, police say the truck was in the area doing landscaping work. Police say the workers were discussing a puppy in the back seat, and that the girl overheard them. Police say the men never approached the girl or talked to her.

The New Hampshire Stormwater Manual was developed as a planning and design tool for the communities, developers, designers and members of regulatory boards, commissions, and agencies involved in stormwater programs in New Hampshire.
The manual is intended to be a "living" document and will be updated as new information becomes available. The revision number of the most recent version is included on the title page and the footer on each left-hand page.
In 2009, DES will be convening a workgroup of interested stakeholders to review the proposed antidegradation requirements described in Volume 1. The workgroup will finalize the requirements for meeting the antidegradation provisions and the procedure for DES review of proposed activities. The manual will be updated to incorporate the requirements at the completion of the workgroup.
The manual is issued in three volumes:
Hard copies of The NH Stormwater Manual volumes may be ordered through the DES Public Information and Permitting Unit. To order, please contact them at (603) 271-2975 or firstname.lastname@example.com . The fees for hard copies are: Volume 1, $10; Volume 2, $14; and Volume 3, $12.
Volume 1: Stormwater and Antidegradation presents an overview of New Hampshire's stormwater program together with related federal program requirements, describes New Hampshire's antidegradation provision (Env-Wq 1708) with respect to controlling water quality impacts due to stormwater discharges, and provides an introduction to the non-structural and structural measures for managing stormwater.
Volume 2: Post-Construction Best Management Practices Selection and Design presents a detailed description of the structural BMPs applicable for use in New Hampshire for the prevention, control, and treatment of stormwater.
Volume 3: Erosion and Sediment Controls During Construction presents a selection of practices applicable during the construction of projects to prevent adverse impacts to water resources as a result of land-disturbance activities.
Hard copies of The NH Stormwater Manual volumes are also available to order through the DES Public Information and Permitting Unit
All documents have been saved in Adobe Acrobat Reader format.

bandgeek: there is some truth to that. as in they are only 2 or only 10, or only 5, or only 12. all of those ages have issue and stages of development. do we not help them learn what is usually socially expectable? of course not. BUT i think that more people actually need to learn what is normal for a child of any age. i think we have this idea that they should behave like little adults, and that isn't right. YES they are smart, but just because they can talk and think, doesn't mean they "get" everything. and social issue really are family based. what i find expectable may not be what someone else finds ok. and what they think is ok, someone else might think is not ok. we tend to have general rules of how people should treat each other, but expecting all 2 years to get it and that all families agree on the same thing is a different thing all together.
also i think we tend to get embarrassed by our children's behavior and instead of teaching we react in a way to sort of shame them. i think the OP handled the situation really well.
and honestly, i think there is a lot of over reaction. all though i think what the OP did was wonderful and that it all worked out really well, the mother of CC could have easily have taken her child out of the situation and talked to her privately OR maybe the mom was "worried what others were thinking" and maybe over does the discipline. who knows.
someone else mentioned waiting room scenario, where it doesn't bug you to have your kid running around, BUT it probably bugs others. i don't see that as a good example. i think the general consensus would be that kids get bored, waiting rooms are boring, they will probably get restless and some people it wouldn't bother to have their kid running to and from the fish tank to tell them about the fish, BUT being that it is a closed space, most people would have their kids sit next to the tank and talk to them about it, OR take them for a walk outside the waiting room.
i think really when something is bothering someone, they need to speak up. i don't see it as reprimanding to say something. that is another place people need to chill about stuff. someone saying something to your child or to you, NICELY isn't a smack in your face. it is just a way for them to let you know that something is bugging them. how on earth would you know if (A) bothered me, if 1. it didn't bug you at all, 2. it never bugged you when other children did it. so if (A) bothers me, i need to let you know. but if i am afraid to talk to your child or you for fear you will think i am being mean, then instead i stay quiet and stop hanging around with you. SILLY! one of our greatest gifts as humans is our ability to communicate. when did it become such a huge drama to do it? why are we so overly sensitive?
Excellent post!

CEDAR RAPIDS — With fewer than 50 days until Iowa's first-in-the-nation precinct caucuses, the race appears to be up for grabs based on the results of an Iowa State University/Gazette/KCRG-TV9 poll of likely caucusgoers.
"That's more the story than who's ahead," said Jim McCormick, chairman of the ISU Political Science Department, who coordinated the poll.
"The number of people who are firmly committed to a candidate is really only 16.5 percent," McCormick said. "A majority of them, 52-plus, are undecided and 30 percent are sort of leaning toward one candidate."
For the record, Herman Cain leads the field with the support of 24.5 percent of 1,256 registered Iowa voters polled. Texas Rep. Ron Paul follows with 20.4 percent and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is running third at 16.3 percent.
"Can't decide" polled 8.1 percent — more than Texas Gov. Rick Perry (7.9 percent), Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachman (7.6 percent), former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (4.8 percent) and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (4.7 percent). Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who has not campaigned in Iowa, received no support. "Other" polled 5.8 percent. The margin of error is plus or minus 5 percent.
"My take away from these results is that voters are still really unsure of whom they will support," added Dave Peterson, interim director of the Harkin Institute of Public Policy at ISU and associate professor of political science, who also assisted with the poll. "Over half of the people are still trying to decide, and another third are merely leaning toward a candidate. When asked, people will express a preference for one candidate, but they also will admit that this is a weak attitude."
The poll was compiled through phone interviews Nov. 1-13, and surveyed 979 registered Republicans and 277 registered independents. Of those polled, 377 (30 percent) stated that they definitely or probably would attend the Republican caucus Jan. 3.
Two other important take-aways from the poll, McCormick said, are Cain's popularity among likely GOP caucusgoers — including women — despite recent allegations of sexual harassment and an apparent decline in the impact of traditional retail politics.
News of the sexual harassment claims was breaking as the poll was being conducted.
"The maintenance of his support seems quite remarkable," McCormick said.
The fact Cain and Romney are top-tier candidates despite infrequent visits to the state suggests to McCormick "that retail politics — typically a hallmark of Iowa — is not the way the caucuses are going to be decided this year."
Cain has visited 25 times, but just twice since his fifth-place finish in the August Republican straw poll. Romney has visited just a half dozen times.
"Contrast that with Santorum, who visited all 99 counties, and Bachmann, who repeatedly talks about being born in Iowa and has spent a lot of time here, and they're down in the single digit percentages," McCormick said.
Romney has a lot of "holdover" support, according to University of Iowa political scientist Tim Hagle, and Cain's number may not reflect the number of visits to Iowa so much as it's his turn at the top of the leader board. The GOP campaign has been marked by "surge and fade" of Bachmann, then Perry, Cain and now Gingrich, he said.
While he doesn't disagree with McCormick's analysis, Hagle cautions that because the race is so volatile, all polls have to be taken with a grain of salt.
The timing of the polling may not have fully captured the reaction to the allegations against Cain nor his trouble answering a question about President Barack Obama's handling of Libya as well as Gingrich's apparent surge of support in recent days, Hagle said.
The results suggest the tea party is likely to have a strong effect on the caucuses. More than a quarter of likely caucusgoers identify themselves as part of the tea party movement. Nearly a third of them support Cain; 14 percent back Paul. Paul, Cain and Romney run neck-and-neck among non-tea party poll respondents.
Other key findings of the poll are:
- "Can't Decide" (21.5 percent) was the most frequent second choice. Cain, Perry, Romney and Paul all had more than 10 percent support as respondents second choice.
- Most of the candidates have a small gender gap among supporters. Cain does much better among women than men, as do Perry and Gingrich. Paul and Bachmann do better with men than with women.
- Cain has strong support across all income levels, particularly among those earning $100,000-a-year or more. Among the least well off, Paul leads at around 41 percent. The wealthiest voters have the highest level of "undecideds."
- There are sizable differences in the level of candidate support based on religious beliefs. Cain leads among three categories — Catholics, born-again Protestants and mainstream Protestants. Among those with no religious preference, Paul captured nearly 59 percent.
- Romney wins support across all educational levels. It rises with education level. Cain and Paul's support is highest among those with either some college or a college degree.
The ISU/Gazette/KCRG-TV9 Poll is supported by ISU's Department of Political Science, the Department of Statistics, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, the Office of Vice President for Research and Economic Development, and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs; as well as The Gazette and KCRG-TV9.
A fine example of a story that reveals the obvious if you aren't asleep. Between people who are having brain farts, history lessons learned from the back of a cereal box, foreign policy from people who have trouble even reading a map, and those who would flush the entire government down the drain, the only candidate who even remotely looks like he might know what he is talking about is Romney, and even his politics are more liberal than most Republicans can stand. In the words of the biggest train wreck among them, "Nine-Nine-Nine!"
Buried in this story are the numbers which explain why I find polling data unreliable. The total sample was 1256 registered voters, of whom 979 were registered Republicans. 377 respondents will "definitely" or "probably" vote in the GOP caucus.
Never has so much been said about so little said by so few…

I'd like to start by making four points completely clear.
First, I support the right of boobs to air their opinions in public places.
Second, I have a reflexive dislike for the incessant promulgation of laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. I reckon half the population has something annoying in mind that they would like to see stamped out or restricted. Sure, I myself have sometime considered the advantages of an ordinance forbidding pea-brained bimbos from loitering in Meeting House Park Friday noons with intent to annoy . But if everyone got their favorite nuisance regulated society would be immobilized and half the population employed in policing the other half. In short, a couple of incidents, however objectionable to some people, are not grounds enough for yet another ordinance.
Third, I stopped thinking about sex entirely when I turned sixty-five so it does not personally concern me if some women choose to present themselves in public with bare breasts. For all I care they can go about bouncing, jouncing, jiggling, flopping, and sagging at will.
Fourth, although it may be my right, I wish to assure my fellow townsmen that I have no plans to bare my aged, pallid, paunchy, hairy, mole-studded naked torso to the public view. To paraphrase the Declaration of Independence "a decent respect for opinions of mankind require that" I spare them this gruesome spectacle.
The issue at hand seems simple enough at a superficial glance. Men are free to wear bras and have breast enhancements, so women should be free to expose their torsos to the warming rays of the sun. But unless you are fanatical enough to equate equality with uniformity and ignorant enough to believe that equality and equity are synonymous you will see there are complications.
Consider. The exhibitionist-in-chief has announced that men are "welcome" to the Meeting House Park display, but only if they don't gawk or leer. Leaving aside the question of where she gets the authority to decide who is welcome to a public place she pays no taxes to maintain, we must wonder about her rationale for welcoming men but excluding boys from the show.. When I was a smutty-minded juvenile of 12 or 13 this would have been a gala event.
More significantly, our heroine shows a baffling ignorance of the male's biological hard-wiring. I propound no theory, but I submit that gazing, gaping, and gawking at external female physical attributes is intrinsic to the male mental constitution. Can this woman be ignorant of the billions of dollars men spend examining these attributes? Is she unaware of surveys showing that 80% of men admit to viewing pornography while 19% admit to lying on surveys? Does she take no satisfaction from this thriving part of the green jobs sector? It has a lower carbon-footprint even than higher education, e.g., there are no dormitories for the women on display.
It is udderly futile and contradictory to forbid leering while advocating naked nipples. The gaping male is a constant menace to an attractive woman whether she is sitting, standing, walking, running, kneeling, squatting, bending, or laying prone, face up or face down. And if there were none but homely women in the world, the relentless male gaze would study them with equal intensity.
More, there appears to be no part of a woman's body, hair to toes, that men do not take pleasure in studying and no part which fails to attract some variety of fetishist. I've never actually heard of an ear fetishist, but I feel certain that somewhere in our great Republic there are men gloating over their collections of stolen ear-rings.
Strict Moslem clerics, dedicated to keeping the male mind focused on Allah, have a clear sense of male biological imperatives. Cover the female body and the male leers at her hair. Cover her hair and the male fixes his lascivious eyes on her face. Cover her face and her eyes becomes the focus of forbidden desire. Only a total veiling, coupled with the promise of a whole platoon of virgins in the after-life serves to turn the male mind from thoughts of sex to thoughts of Allah.
That's the way it is, has been, and ever will be. No legal sanction exists which will end it, although women can defend themselves against most overt leerings and droolings by contempt and disdain. Men rarely have the courage to defy them unless they are protected by a herd. But this is only possible because the culture supports women in disdaining unseemly excesses of the male gaze.
A woman who claims the right to a leer-free exhibition of her balcony is deluding herself by imagining that one part of the culture's restraints can be freely discarded while the rest will remain intact for her convenience. A civilization's culture is nearly as complex and interdependent as the physical environment.
