One good turn—or, as the case may be, one dope guest verse—deserves another. Having recruited the up-and-coming emcee's mic-murdering services on The L@st LOL and Purple Clouds, two cuts off his DJBooth-sponsored (and acclaimed) Diagnosis: Success street album, perennial reader fave K. Sparks returns the first half of the favor on What I Know, JAYVINE's first feature as a headliner. Making its world premiere right here in The DJBooth, this lyrical banger finds beatsmith Kurser slicing and dicing an eerily familiar fusion-jazz sample (anyone ID that for me?) as the Double Up Entertainment labelmates take turns lacing the beat with witty, allusive punchline rhymes; JAYVINE taking an aggressive, no-nonsense approach on the mic and Sparks seizing the opportunity to show off some of his freshest double-time flows. The project to which this joint is attached has yet to receive a title or drop date but, as always, those who like what they're hearing can keep it locked to The DJBooth for the latest release details.

Avocado ideas
- s
- singlemalt Feb 25, 2014 11:37 AM
It seems reasonable to start here, with the vegans on ideas for a little dressing up of a plain avocado. Sometimes in the AM, to avoid eating more breads and cereal, I like to just cut an avocado in half, salt it and eat it.
What I am looking for is some simple ideas that would make it a little more interesting to eat than with just plain salt. Maybe some of you can suggest a little dressing of some sort or a simply prepared topping.
Looking forward to your ideas.
I tend to eat avocados pretty much like you, 'cept for that I like to add a very generous squeeze of lemon juice & lots of fresh ground black pepper.
It's fabulous, of course, in many salads with citrus. And with shellfish....but that's not vegan, sadly. I also love a salad of avocado, chopped celery & tomatoes with a balsamic soy dressing.
Hot sauce works well, too.
re: daislander
Ooh, a fellow lover of Spike! I have not tried this on avocado, I must. It does something wonderful for tabbouli.
re: Teague
Teague, if you like spike try adding instead it to your "tofu eggless egg salad" which goes well on toast with sliced avocado or by itself
here are the ingredients i use:
diced firm tofu (i like the san diego brand that wf carries)
vegan mayo (i like the shelf stable 365 brand at wf)
diced celery
diced carrots
turmeric powder
very small amount of diced red onion
nutritional yeast (to give it the savory undertone)
salt (tiny amount)
re: westsidegal
I think I recall this recipe from a job I had at a food co-op deli in Austin. Something similar anyway. Thanks! I like tofu, will try this.
Squeeze of lime or lemon, pinch of salt and cracked pepper, sprouts and/or baby arugula or watercress. It's a bowl meal in itself. A drizzle of olive oil is also good for the greens. And a slice of tomato. Perhaps a slice of cucumber. I put it in a bowl or on toast, but I don't mind a small amount of carbs...
re: Gastronomos
The metallic/acid quality of sumac is also good if you want something different from lemon or vinegar.
re: lamb_da_calculus
interesting. I usually use sumac with meat dishes or olive oil fried eggs.
Chopped avocado, tomato, onion with salt, pepper, and garlic, and a squeeze of lime to season. Basically it's an unsmashed guac but still tastes pretty darned good and can be done in less than 3mins.
Use the leftovers to make a guac for the next meal.
I have been wanting to try this - Avicado Buttercream Frosting - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/al...
this will probably sound crazy but try it at least once: chunked avocado, with fresh mango chunks, dried coconut and salt. if you want to make a full-on meal, you can also add: cacao nibs, sliced almonds and lemon juice if you need it a bit wet.
balsamic vinegar and salt
white miso, maybe a splash of soy
mae ploy sauce
are these answers weird? sorry...ignore if needed: breakfast is a bit of a free-for-all with me!
Avocados make awesome smoothies.....
Blend 1/2 avocado with fresh spinach, blueberries, and enough milk/almond milk to get the thickness you like.
Or, banana avocado soft serve. Blend chunks of peeled frozen banana with the 1/2 avocado.
Crack an egg into the hollow of the avocado and bake until set how you like it. My sister has hot avocado issues and makes these (baked thru) and then chills in the fridge- if covered tightly in plastic wrap there is minimal discoloring.
Topping a plain avocado half with a squeeze of lime, salt, and fresh cilantro is delicious.
Also try with smoked paprika, cumin, herbs de provance.....
Mash into a quick guacamole and make lettuce wraps for a carb free handheld version.
The avocado pudding recipes are very breakfast worthy as well, here are a few versions:
Cut in half, remove pit and put in a scoop of fresh salsa or any salsa that you like...REALLY delish...just eat it out of the skin with spoon...one of my favorites! Also, half an avocado makes a lovely salad dressing ... put into a bowl and mix in some balsamic vinegar (red or white) and blend with fork and pour over dark leafy greens...no oils are even needed here since the avocado has beneficial fats for us!
An alternative idea is to grate off a bit of the pit, wait a few minutes, and then marvel at 1. the only fluorescent orange natural food I've ever seen and 2. how horribly bitter an avocado pit is.
In the morning or for an afternoon snack I like to smear half an avocado on some type of grainy/nutty/seed-packed cracker. Crunchy+smooth and creamy. You could definitely use a light wasa cracker type of thing.
It's so simple- the combination of sliced avocado, sliced orange (a really good one) and a small handful of toasted walnuts- everything eaten together. Good on top of raw kale too although I usually switch out the walnuts for pepitas. Or use both.
re: PinkLynx
And I can't believe I forgot this one...wrap a sheet of toasted nori around a fat slice of avocado sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and a few drops of tamari/soy sauce. You can add a spoonful of rice, tofu, edamame, carrots, or anything leftover lurking in the fridge but the seaweed+avocado+sesame combo always does it for me and it's a really fast snack/breakfast.
re: PinkLynx
I don't know why I've never thought of seaweed with avocado given how often sushi is paired with avocado. Neat idea.
re: PinkLynx
This is exactly what I love to do with a nice, ripe avocado! The seaweed+avocado+sesame+soy sauce is a winning combination, with rice optional.
Avocado and Tomato with a little balsamic vinegar and a touch of olive oil. You can sprinkle it with some vegan feta cheese on top.
Avocado and Strawberries dressed in balsamic vinegar
Avocado, Cucumber, carrot and onion with rice wine vinegar a a touch of olive oil.
I know this is really basic, but I just recently tried avocado mashed and smeared on top of toast for the first time. It is much more creamy, delicious and mind-blowing than I could have envisioned.
re: NancyChin
Yes! Recently discovered this myself and am a huge fan. Simple but delicious.
With bread: Toasted bagel spread with coconut oil, add a sprinkle of salt, topped generously with avocado, sprinkle of salt and pepper. Slice of tomato optional. Sublime.
Without bread: avocado, banana, cocoa and agave blended into a healthy chocolate pudding. Yum!
Thanks, folks, for all of your suggestions. I am not a vegan, more of an omnivore, but thought that this site might be more experienced in doing things with veggies. I definitely will try some of your ideas.
One thing I have done, to make a contribution to my on thread, is to fill the cavity with good soy sauce, or tamari.
Good eating, y'all. ( Been watching too much Josh Besh)
re: singlemalt
John Besh filled the cavity with soy sauce ?
re: Gastronomos
Gimme a break!
re: singlemalt
Since you're not vegan (an pleading with regulars on the board for indulgence) substitute avocado for mayonaise in tuna fish and chicken salad, i.e. mix avocado mashed with lemon juice with chunks of leftover chicken or with tuna or leftover cooked white flaky fish and - assuming low calorie, high fiber is your goal - eat with sliced tomatoes or wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves.
Avocado will also make almost any green salad into a great salad.
re: singlemalt
Ah , omni here too,and I do eat vegan meals often, try mashed avocado with brisling sardines, a little citrus, some scallions, on toast or crackers...Alton Brown as some more specific lists ...
Over the weekend i had a wonderful avocado toast that was drizzled with tahini and then a sprinkle of sea salt and red pepper flakes- the tahini and avocado flavors were amazing together and the pepper just was enough to be warm- great combo!
The problem I have is that every time I plan to do something interesting, I cut the avocado in half, seed it...and then a spoon appears and the darn thing vanishes!
I know? right?
Luckily, it's a "good fat".
Since you are looking for ideas:
Whip up a quick omelette and add the avocado and some salsa.
Or...Mush it up with (pre-cooked) brown rice, some shredded carrot and shredded purple cabbage. The soy sauce recommendations here sound great. here! Toasted sesame seeds add crunch. Eat it in a wheat tortilla if your eating plan allows that, otherwise, dump in a bowl. Mmmmmm.
re: pedalfaster
"cut the avocado in half, seed it...and then a spoon appears and the darn thing vanishes!"
So true! When I get avocadoes, I try to get more than what I think I need.
I love avocados!
Toasted pumpernickel and avocado.
Right now I having been eating a tomato avocado salad almost everyday. The protein is either crunchy chickpeas or skinless boneless chicken thighs.( I see you are not vegan).
The salad is just diced tomatoes diced avocado a little onion garlic cilantro jalapeño cumin lime juice.
The chicken or chickpeas are spiced with the same spices plus paprika. Browned in olive oil.
I actually like the chickpeas more than the chicken.
Sorry, I hope I don't offend anyone.
I've been positively addicted to a very simple salad of tomatoes, chopped celery, and diced avocado, tossed in a dressing of olive oil, balsamic and soy sauce. Somehow, all those flavors come together fabulously.

Dear Peter,
My grandfather's name was Buster Redhead.
Unfortunately, all we know about him is that
he was born in Grenada, circa 1915, and that
he worked as a bouncer in one of New York
City's famous clubs. (I believe The Savoy)
If you have any info to pass along about my
grandfather or his family I would be deeply
appreciative if you would do so.

I have a very simple situation: in a view i have an UIImageView and one UILabel. at a moment in time I want to change the position of the label and in the same method to change the image of the uiimageview.
self.myLabel.center = CGPointMake(158, 230);
self.myImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"anotherImage.png"];
But this code will change only the image and will not move the label. If i comment out the second line and run the code then the label will change the position.
Dose anybody have an idea why is not working? Or a valid workaround for this problem?

Microsoft's fight against Apple ads seen as waste of moneyWith Apple's Mac home market share tripling in the past five years, Microsoft has fought back with its own advertising campaigns attacking Apple for the first time, a move one analyst sees as a mistake.
In Sunday's New York Times, Devin Leonard took a look at the advertising battle between Apple's "Get a Mac" campaign and Microsoft's "Laptop Hunters" and "I'm a PC" TV spots. He said that the ad war between the two companies is "destined to go down in history," with the likes of the Pepsi-Coca Cola rivalry of the '80s and '90s. But in a new note to investors, Charlie Wolf of Needham & Company said the Mac's recent market share gains are a result of much more than advertising. In addition, he said the Windows maker would be better suited using its money to combat overseas piracy in emerging countries.
"One has to admit that Apples 'Get a Mac' campaign was humorous if nothing else," Wolf said. "But why Microsoft responded with an ad campaign of its own is a mystery. The company erroneously attributed the Macs share gains to the 'Get a Mac' campaign... However, the damage done to Windows' worldwide market share was miniscule. While its true that the Macs market share has more than doubled in the past five years, Windows market share loss was just 2-plus percentage points."
He said that Windows' share of the worldwide PC market is only 70 percent, and that's mostly due to piracy of Microsoft's operating system. Chasing those pirates, Wolf said, would be a better value for shareholders of Apple's rival to the north.
Apple's own market gains with the Mac platform are attributed by Wolf to the iPod "halo effect," in which users become more familiar with Apple products and migrate to the Mac. In addition, he said constant updates to OS X as well as the company's consumer-friendly Apple retail stores have all given the Mac more market and mind share.
"Those share gains began long before Apple introduced its 'Get a Mac' campaign," Wolf said. Apple's share of the U.S. home market, which is the focus of its ad campaign, has already increased from a low 2.9 percent in the second quarter of 200r to 7.8 percent by the time the 'Get a Mac' campaign began, and it eventually rose as high as 12.1 percent in the second quarter of 2008."
In a separate report last week, Wolf went in-depth into the breakdown of recent PC and Mac sales, as Apple saw a 5.5 percent year-over-year increase in sales. He believes those gains were achieved through price cuts in the MacBook Pro lineup enacted on June 8, and that the Cupertino, Calif., company was able to make those cuts without affecting its bottom line due to high profit margins on the iPhone.
In the second quarter of 2009, Apple commanded 8.7 percent of the U.S. PC market, growing from 7.4 percent in the first frame of the year. That as the rest of the PC market slid 1.2 percent year over year.
Contrasting the styles of Apple and its rival, Wolf calls Microsoft's ads "a variation of cash for clunkers," focusing on price and emphasizing that more things are important than just brand.
"What's implied, at least from Microsoft's perspective, is that the only reason the Mac gained share was its ad campaign that derided the Windows PC," he said.

My South Africa riven by self-interest
The country remains joyously transformed from the dark and evil apartheid times and yet the persistent, embittered sense of betrayal goes well beyond that
- Image Credit: AFP
- South African President Jacob Zuma delivers a speech on April 16, 2013 following a meeting with his Nigerian counterpart in the Nigerian capital city Abuja.
The head teacher at one of the many new schools built by Nelson Mandela's African National Congress (ANC) held out his hands in anguish. "I don't have enough textbooks and the president is spending all our money [£23 million; Dh128.67 million] on his personal palace?" A loyal ANC voter, he feels betrayed. As do millions of others — but not with the fact that the government of South African President Jacob Zuma has not solved all the country's problems. The head teacher knew only too well that the awful legacy of apartheid — mass poverty, homelessness and, above all, the deliberate policy by ruling whites to ensure blacks had no skills — could never be overturned in 19 years of democracy. That was not his gripe. He was proud that the ANC had doubled the number of children at school and was now spending more per head on education than almost any other country in the world.
What pained him most was that ANC leaders now seemed to be preoccupied with corruptly enriching themselves at the taxpayers' expense, not sticking true to Mandela's values. "They are looting the country," ANC members told me time and again as I travelled around this amazing and beautiful country. For me, it was a moving homecoming, going back to my old school in Pretoria to see it transformed into a vibrant symbol of the country's rainbow multi-racialism; in my day in the early 1960s, apartheid decreed it was strictly whites-only.
I met Dikgang Moseneke, South Africa's Deputy Chief Justice, in his chambers in the Constitutional Court that guards perhaps the most impressive constitution in the world. He emotionally recalled how, as a 15-year-old, he had been bolstered by the supportive presence in court of my anti-apartheid activist mother, Adelaine, who daily brought him a favourite bar of chocolate before he was despatched to Robben Island for 10 years' imprisonment. Standing on the hallowed turf of the world's most beautiful cricket ground, Newlands, with Table Mountain dreamily lording above it, were cricketers, black and white, warming up before a top match. This is what I had fought for in physically stopping whites-only South African cricket and rugby teams from touring Britain from the late 1960s.
The country remains joyously transformed from the dark and evil apartheid times. And yet the persistent, embittered sense of betrayal goes well beyond what I know only too well from my own 12 years as a British government minister: Seemingly inevitable voter disappointment and disaffection with all parties in all governments.
On Robben Island, I spoke to Ahmad Kathrada, one of the eight ANC leaders imprisoned there for 18 years with Mandela and perhaps the closest to him. Kathrada's sense of let-down was palpable, as was that of Ronnie Kasrils, the hard-man intelligence chief of the ANC in its liberation decades and a minister until Zuma took over.
Lawson Naidoo, who ran the ANC's office in London until the change, complained that new ANC legislation would give the state "far greater powers than even the apartheid government took upon itself, so the ability of the state to classify information is now actually greater than it was under the old legislation". Naidoo added: "The real concern is that given the escalating levels of corruption and maladministration that we have seen over many years now, this legislation will be used to cover up and suppress information about mismanagement and corruption, whether it be at the national, provincial or local government level." And as a card-carrying party member, he concluded sadly: "The ANC that is there today is an ANC that I no longer recognise."
When I interviewed Zuma, he airily dismissed all these criticisms. On chairs set up on the lawn in front of his state residence overlooking Pretoria — a fine old period piece now called Mahlambandlopfu ("washing the elephant") — he blamed "negative" media reporting.
Last August's massacre of striking black miners at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine outside Rustenberg for many symbolised all that is wrong with Zuma's South Africa today: "A watershed for the ANC", Ronnie Kasrils told me bluntly. Filming at Marikana, I was told by lawyers representing families of the dead miners that the massacre was pre-planned. I saw chilling testimony that 22 of the dead were apparently executed in cold blood (away from the initial clash in front of the media, which had left 12 dead) out of a total of 34 fatalities, with 78 injured. Guns were planted on some of the corpses. I met witnesses who claimed to have been intimidated and even tortured by the police. This was all as bad as anything unleashed by the apartheid police.
Although a new black elite has done well, black workers have not benefited as much as they should have done from the country's growth and stability since democracy came in 1994. This has to change, especially since South Africa is ranked high in both the UN's measure of attractiveness for foreign direct investment and the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index, with strong financial institutions, banks and stock market and a good corporate governance and regulatory framework.
For the ANC, the political challenges today are momentous. Can it make government a Mandela-like "cause" once again or has the sheer wear-and-tear of governing coupled with an "our-time-to-eat" temptation to self-enrich made that impossible? Mandela's ANC inspired the world and although there has since been a collapse in values and integrity by self-interested party leaders locally and nationally, there remain many decent, dedicated and principled ANC members. Its policies are still based on the original values of the founders.
Cyril Ramaphosa's recent election as Deputy President is potentially hugely significant: A former miners' leader who remains a struggle hero despite his billionaire status and business credibility. Immensely able, he was Mandela's personally favoured successor back in the 1990s. Perhaps we all expected too much of the ANC — for it to be different when, despite its deep moral and constitutionalist traditions, it is just as vulnerable to human frailty as political parties the world over (including Britain) — and with immensely more social inequalities than most to grapple with. There is furthermore a tendency to see post-apartheid South Africa in black and white: Either as "Mandela's miracle" or as going down the pan. It is neither — and never was. I remain optimistic about its future.

abstract acrylic prints, digital art acrylic prints, sail board acrylic prints, windsurfer acrylic prints, sailing acrylic prints
Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Replacement of carcinogenic solvent HMPA by DMI in insect sex pheromone synthesis

Hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) is a good solvent for the alkylation of terminal acetylenes; however, it has been proven to be a carcinogen towards rats and should be considered as a serious risk to man when a large-scale synthesis is involved. Thus the search for a safe alternative is important. The physical properties of 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) are similar to DMPU (1,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-hexahydropyrimidine) and HMPA, but the potential toxicological risk of DMI is less than DMPU and HMPA. When used in the alkylation of terminal acetylenes, DMI is comparable with HMPA, thus it is a good alternative solvent to the carcinogen HMPA in the alkylation because it provides a safer working environment than DMPU and HMPA.

Heavyweight winter warmth, with the stretch you need to send.
Bone-chilling days at the boulder fields offer fantastic climbing, but it's difficult to dress accordingly unless you have the Ibex Women's Izzi Tavern Pant on. Made mostly with merino wool and a bit of Lycra, this form-fitted pant regulates your body temperature so you stay warm when you chill at the bottom of the boulder and you stay cool while you climb. It's also naturally antimicrobial so your pant won't emit that unique stench climbers have, so feel free to hit up the pub after your climbing session without changing. The tapered legs slide right into your boots without adding any bulk, and the welt pocket securely stores your license and the few bucks you have.

I love these pants. Have worn Izzi pants for a couple of winters, and came across this straight-leg version in my re-ordering search. Simple and straightforward, and the seam placement is flattering. I'm 5'3", 120 lbs. and small fits perfectly.
No pockets, but the pockets on the regular Izzi pants are kind of a joke anyway!I haven't yet washed these, but my old Izzis handle washer and dryer quite well.

The Smith & Wesson M&P (Military & Police) has always been a highly respected revolver from its introduction to today. Introduced in 1899, it became the standard by which every other medium-frame double-action revolver would be judged--as well as serving as the launching platform for one of the most influential handgun cartridges in history: the .38 S&W Special. The popularity of the M&P (aka Model 10) revolver grew so quickly that it was the most widely used police revolver in the free world.
The M&P line grew into a new brand of semi-auto handguns in 2006, and has become the biggest product launch in S&W's history. The company has been producing semi-auto handguns for more than 100 years, but it was not until 2006 that the company felt that it had a semi-auto worthy of the M&P logo.
Since its introduction, the M&P has won more than 370 new LE agency (issued sidearm) contracts. This is more new contracts than any other brand, and has come primarily at the expense of Glock and Sig Sauer... Sorry Springfield, the XD did not have any contracts to lose.
The NEW M&P semi-auto really is a worthy heir to the brand's name and reputation.

Egg and avocado tortas
Updated On: Jul 11 2014 05:13:46 AM CDT
Makes 4 servings
In Mexico, "torta" means a warm, filling sandwich. Here's a tasty version that combines scrambled eggs and creamy mashed avocado. It's typical for Mexicans to use their silky rich avocados mashed as a spread for sandwiches instead of butter.
1 fully ripened Mexican avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon salt, divided
3 eggs
1 can (4 ½ ounces) chopped mild green chilies, drained
2 teaspoons butter
4 soft sandwich rolls, split
1 ripe tomato, thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 350°F.Mash the avocado with the lime juice and ¼ teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
To scramble the eggs, beat the eggs with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir in the chilies.
Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a small skillet. Add the eggs; cook, stirring, until the desired consistency.
Spread the avocado mixture on the inside surfaces of the rolls. Spoon the hot scrambled eggs on the rolls, dividing evenly. Top with the tomato slices and cover with the tops of the rolls.
Place the tortas on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes or until the rolls are lightly toasted. Serve warm.

Community committee set to start talks on Keene airport tree cutting
The first meeting is planned to be held at City Hall on March 5.
Committee members representing the Edgewood neighborhood that is in danger of losing its quarter-mile thick pine buffer from the airport say they want to continue to coexist with the airport, with the buffer to protect the neighborhood as well as protect the city from pollution.
"If those trees are gone, all that pollution is going downtown," said Edgewood resident Richard Hersom on Tuesday. "It's going to have a negative impact, not only on our neighborhood, but on Keene."
Keene Mayor Kendall Lane appointed the committee in January to work closely with city-hired consultants after residents of the 100-year-old Edgewood community opposed city plans to clear cut the buffer that sits between the neighborhood and the airport.
"We've always lived here with the airport," Hersom said. "And as it stands now, we don't really have a problem. When we moved here, we knew there was an airport here. What they are doing is changing the game."
Hersom was appointed to the committee along with Edgewood resident Tim Dunn. The committee also includes a city conservation commission member, a C&S Wholesale Grocers pilot, an Antioch University New England professor of environmental studies and State Rep. Alfred "Gus" Lerandeau of Swanzey.
"Without this forest the property values would plummet," Dunn said.
The Keene Dillant-Hopkins Airport has two runways on approximately 1,000 acres. It is a small airport used by private pilots and corporations.
Hersom, Dunn and another Edgewood resident, Dominick Tralli, question the city's need for an airport and said perhaps the FAA and city-supported airport should have to be self-supporting.
"Progress may not be making something like this more viable because it's going to have a negative impact on not only on us, but on Keene," Dunn said. "Only governments can afford, because they pick all of our pockets every year, only governments can afford to run a business at a loss every year because they can make it up through taxes."
If the city does not comply with FAA regulations and complete the project, it would lose its FAA funding.
State Department of Transportation Director of Aeronautics, Rail and Transit Patrick C. Herlihy said Tuesday that the role a small airport like Dillant-Hopkins plays is complex.
The FAA funds a system of airports across the country because they play a vital role in interstate commerce.
"It's part of what's called the National Airspace System, so there are opportunities for airplanes that are up in the air, if they need to come down, there are places they can do it," Herlihy said.
The FAA regulation calling for the tree cutting is not new, but was enacted in 1965 to maintain a pilot's visibility approaching a runway.
FAA regulations have not changed, the trees have grown, said Tricia Lambert of the state DOT Aeronautics Bureau.
"You have to do something to mitigate them," she said.
Herlihy said the most likely solution would be selective cutting, to maintain the buffer and appease the FAA.
"It's a reasonable solution that is currently being evaluated," Herlihy said, adding the community input on the project is important.
The committee's recommendation would go to city officials, who would make the final decision on the project, Herlihy said.

While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
One of the growing points of emphasis on Monday Night Raw lately has become the bunny that accompanies Adam Rose to ringside. A lot of WWE fans are wondering who is the person behind the suit. Many of the guesses have been based upon the movies that the bunny does. However, management is simply throwing off the fans with moves like the super kick. Right now, the strongest candidate to be revealed under the suit is Darren Young, who should be returning from a serious leg injury soon.
September 9, 2014
Rumors are floating around that Darren Young is not pleased with WWE for their decision to lure in Michael Sam, an openly gay football player who is trying to sign with an NFL team this season. The speculation arose after Young retweeted messages from fans who are upset with the company for trying to give an open mic to Sam, even though Young has never been given the opportunity to do the same.
September 2, 2014
Earlier in the year, there were rumors that Titus ONeil was going to be receiving a push from WWE. Reports surfaced that it was dropped because of the poor reaction that his match against Darren Young at Elimination Chamber 2014 received from the audience. It has been several months now, and it looks like the rumors were true. Since that pay per view, ONeil has only won two matches on television.
June 4, 2014
For those that are not aware, Darren Young recently tore his ACL and will be missing in action for a couple of months. The WWE star is now off crutches and moving about a little bit better. He is actually going to be able to fly this weekend, which is a good thing because management needs him to attend the GLAAD awards in New York City this weekend.
May 2, 2014
Days after disputing internet reports about his injury, it has now been revealed that Darren Young has suffered a torn ACL, which will keep him on the sidelines for the remainder of the year. The injury took place at a WWE live event last Saturday night. Since Young wasn't being pushed on television, management does not have to change much.
April 16, 2014
At a live event in Texas over the weekend, Darren Young might have suffered some sort of injury. His match with Fandango was extremely short, and the ending was awkward, as Young was counted out after delivering a flying ax handle. Agents came out to the ringside area to check on Young and helped him limp backstage.
April 13, 2014
With Darren Young coming out earlier in the year, the belief was that he was going to be a big part of the marketing campaign during Wrestlemania 30 weekend, but WWE opted against it. While Young did still play a role for the company this week, his sexuality was downplayed and kept in the background. It does not seem like WWE will be going that route any more.
April 8, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
The latest rumors on Titus ONeil is that there is backstage heat on him within WWE, as management has been booking him in multiple losses at live events. During a show this weekend, ONeil lost a match to Darren Young before issuing an open challenge and being decimated by Mark Henry. In the third match, he teams up with Wade Barrett to lose to both Young and Henry.
March 23, 2014
Since Wrestlemania is right around the corner, WWE has decided to tape a commercial in New Orleans to promote the pay per view. Fandango, Summer Rae, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus, Big Show, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella are all in town for the shoot. There are also reports that Darren Young might be a part of the cast as well, but that is unconfirmed.
March 22, 2014
While management has halted his push because of a poor reaction from the audience at Elimination Chamber 2014, there is still a chance that Darren Young will be working the Wrestlemania 30 show. He and his former teammate Titus ONeil are both candidates to be entrants in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal that weekend.
March 16, 2014
Since management was disappointed at the crowd reaction that was received during the match between Darren Young and Titus ONeil at Elimination Chamber 2014, the former Prime Time Players are being scaled back a bit, and their respective pushes are being placed on hold. Their feud has not being featured on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown since the pay per view.
March 9, 2014
In a grudge match between the Prime Time Players, Titus ONeil defeated Darren Young at Elimination Chamber 2014.
February 23, 2014
WWE has issued a press release, informing the world that Darren Young will be participating in GaymerX this year. It is an event held in San Francisco, where gay and lesbian video game enthusiasts get together. Management views this as a great public relations move, which means that Young will continue to have some job security within the company.
February 21, 2014
While they were in Colorado Springs for the Smackdown taping this week, Darren Young and Mark Henry decided to train together at the Olympic Training Center. This was the facility that Henry utilized years ago when he was an Olympic athlete.
February 20, 2014
In case you missed the announcement on Monday Night Raw this week, Darren Young and Titus ONeil will be having their grudge match on the main Elimination Chamber 2014 pay per view next Sunday night. Many were under the belief that it was going to be the kickoff match, but management decided to step things up a bit.
February 19, 2014
Since he did receive a lot of media attention when he decided to reveal to the world that he was gay, Darren Young has been criticized for doing it for the wrong reasons. He defended himself on Twitter by stating that he told TMZ his story because he wants the respect from staying true and living an honest life. He denies that it was done for marketing.
February 10, 2014
Fans have been wondering when Wade Barrett was going to be wrestling again, as he has only been doing the Bad News Barrett segments on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. It looks like that might be happening soon, as the former Nexus leader was given a match against Darren Young at a WWE live event in Oakland this weekend.
February 8, 2014
While many are under the assumption that Titus ONeil is the one that will be receiving the push since he was the one that pulled the heel turn, the rumors of Darren Young being pushed is gaining some steam, as the latter was given the victory over the former at a live event in Oakland. At this point, the match appears unlikely to make it on the Elimination Chamber 2014 main card.
February 8, 2014
