Post Super Bowl: Six Tips to Ensure Success on the Field
If you think the Super Bowl is only about football, think again.
A broker friend of mine, who had little, if any, interest in the game of the year, decided to take heed of some of the comments shouted by the armchair quarterbacks gathered in front of the screen. He realized that there was a similarity between the game and his professional life in real estate.
He was able to see the entire playing field, without the personal attachment to a particular team. This enabled him to peel away some valuable lessons from the fumbles and apply the strategies to his real estate presentations. Read More

Series Record: Holy Cross leads, 44-8
Last Meeting: Holy Cross 72, Lafayette 67 (January 8, 2011, Easton, Pa.)
SERIES HISTORY AGAINST LAFAYETTE: Saturday's match-up marks the 53rd meeting all-time between Holy Cross and Lafayette, with the Crusaders owning a 44-8 advantage over the Leopards. The teams first met as non-Patriot League opponents during the 1986-1987 season at the Rhode Island Tournament. It was in that game that head coach Bill Gibbons earned his first of 43 victories against the Leopards, winning by a score of 73-67. Both teams became members of the Patriot League during the 1990-1991 season and have met at least two times annually since then. Holy Cross took the first Patriot League win over Lafayette, 92-68, on Jan. 10, 1991. The Crusaders earned 11 consecutive victories over the Leopards from the 1992-1993 season until March 2, 1997, when the Leopards upset the No.1-seeded Holy Cross in the semifinal round of the Patriot League Tournament, 76-60. Holy Cross then went on to win 19 successive contests from 1999-2000 until the 2006-2007 season. The Leopards clawed back for two back-to-back series victories on Feb. 4, 2006 and Jan. 6, 2007. Holy Cross held the upper hand until the Jan. 9, 2010 game, having collected a six-game win streak dating back to Feb. 3, 2007. The Leopards, who had never won at the Hart Center in 21 straight contests, topped the Crusaders by the final score of 43-39. The Crusaders rallied back, however, taking the last two wins on the road, including the 72-67 win from earlier this season. When playing in Worcester, Holy Cross has just one loss in the 23 total match-ups. This will also be the 25th time Lafayette's first-year head coach Dianne Nolan has faced the Crusaders, as she is 9-16 against Holy Cross in her Fairfield coaching days.
HOLY CROSS AGAINST CONFERENCE FOES: The 2010-2011 season marks the 22nd year of Patriot League competition for the Crusaders. After Saturday's victory loss to Lehigh, Holy Cross stands at 3-4 in league play, remaining in fourth place. Holy Cross has never posted a 3-4 record over the first half of Patriot League play, dating back to the inaugural season in 1990-1991. Over the last 21 seasons, the team has competed in a total of 295 league match-ups, winning 230 and dropping 65 games total for a .780 winning percentage. The team was seeded fifth in the tournament last season, a program low, but proved that it could not be counted out, topping Army, 57-53 in the quarterfinal round before falling to the 2010 champion, Lehigh, in the semifinals. The squad also recorded its first losing season in Patriot League play in 2009-2010, going 5-9. Holy Cross possesses two unblemished Patriot League seasons, going 12-0 in 1990-1991, and doing it again in 1996-1997. Head coach Bill Gibbons has been along for the entire ride and is responsible for the 230-65 league record. In all, Holy Cross has made 20 appearances in the Patriot League Tournament, boasting 11 championships and a 38-9 all-time record. The Crusaders are most successful against Colgate as they have mounted a 42-3 all-time record against the Raiders. The team also boasts a 44-8 record against Lafayette. Army and American have given Holy Cross the most trouble, as the two have combined for 24 of the 63 wins against the Crusaders. Lehigh has put up 12 wins against Holy Cross as well.

REV. GEORGE L. O'BRIEN AWARD ON THE LINE AGAINST LEOPARDS: The Rev. George L. O'Brien Award will be presented to the most outstanding player in Holy Cross' Winter Homecoming game, held Saturday. The honor went to senior Whitney Fremeau (Manchester, N.H.) last year after she hit eight of her 13 shot attempts to tally a team-high 16 points as the squad rallied past Bucknell 65-60. The award is named after Rev. George L. O'Brien, the former Director of Development at Holy Cross. O'Brien also served as the Athletic Department chaplain for many years.

Baked Pumpkin Custard
- Prep Time : 15 min
- Cook Time : 2 hour
- Ready Time : 2 hour, 15 min
- 6 small sugar pumpkins, 12 - 16 ounces each, and about 4 inches in diameter (to be used as decorative bowls)
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 Teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Eggs
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 cup nonfat or lowfat evaporated milk
- 6 tablespoons chopped, toasted California walnuts
1 To prepare the pumpkins, if you are using them, remove the stem end from each, and scrape the seeds and fibers from inside the pumpkins.
2 Cut a very thin slice off the bottom of each pumpkin, so they will sit flat, without wobbling. Alternately, coat 6 ramekins, each about six-ounce capacity, with
3 Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
4 In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt, and stir with a whisk or spoon until evenly blended.
5 Add the eggs and pumpkin puree and beat until completely mixed. Slowly pour in the evaporated milk, stirring until smooth.
6 If you are using pumpkins, divide the filling among them, pouring about 1/2-cup into each. Place the pumpkins on a parchment-lined shallow baking pan, with their tops n
7 Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350ºF and continue baking about 1 hour more, or until the pumpkins are tender when pierced. If the tops are done sooner, remove them. If you are using ramekins, pour about 1/2-cup of filling into each.
8 Place the ramekins on a shallow baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325ºF and bake about 25 minutes more, or until a knife inserted in the filling comes out clean, or almost clean.
9 Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool (cool for an hour if baked in pumpkins). Serve the custards warm, sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of walnuts.
10 Accompany with sweetened whipped cream, if desired. The pumpkin lids may be place atop the pumpkins, or at a jaunty angle along side.

I'm using Eclipse to develop on WindowsXP (using MinGW and Msys).
I used Msys to compile wxWidgets and that all worked ok...
../configure --with-msw --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb --disable-shared <-- this is what I typed and it all worked fine
Then I did "make" and that all worked fine and the minimal sample worked fine too!
Now I load into Eclipse, (which I have already tested the hello world app and that worked). I add "#include wx/wxprec.h" to the top of my code and try a simple wxMessageDialog(etc...). I try to compile and get
"wx/wxprec.h: No such file or directory"
What have I forgotten to do? I'm sure it simple but I've not managed to find it.
Any other info on getting wxWidgets working in Eclipse would be most helpful. I'm trying to compile a sample to run on Pocket PC (wince) and PalmOS but so far I can only get the wince version working in eVC4 and I can only get PalmOS working in the PalmOS developer suite (eclipse).
Thanks for all you help,

And so Londonist returns to City Hall for March's MQT, which happened to coincide with the budget.
After the fiasco of last month's failed grilling of London mayor Boris Johnson (in which he referred to London Assembly members as "great, supine, protoplasmic invertebrate jellies"), we wondered what could possibly be left to discuss. A lot, it seems.
Among the weary witnesses to this week's tussle between London Assembly members and the mayor was a group of primary school children, who, it has to be said, were better behaved than some of their elders in the chamber. We didn't have to wait long for the first spat between Boris and Labour AM Len Duvall over the latter's question about transparency of delegated decisions. We won't bore you with the details except to note that Chair Jennette Arnold stepped in to referee. Johnson's suggestion that she was abusing her role was firmly slapped down with a tart reply:
"I'm not going to take lessons from you about behaviour or chairing a meeting. And there I was thinking you were being Prime Ministerial."
As always, Johnson made a point of refuting the persistent PM rumours. But leaving aside the first few minutes, questions to the mayor (which you can see in full here) included air quality and the health of children, welfare reform, police targets and the London benefit cap.
The mayor's recent announcement of an Ultra Low Emission Zone got an airing, along with the suggestion that Johnson is simply kicking the issue into the long grass for his successor to deal with. Neither London Assembly Lib Dem spokesperson Stephen Knight or Labour's Murad Qureshi seemed to get the answers they were looking for on the subject.
Val Shawcross pulled Johnson up on his failure to use allocated regeneration funds and didn't get the answer she was looking for either, while the recent publicity over the Met's Sapphire unit came under scrutiny leading to the question of whether the public is being encouraged to drop allegations of other crimes to boost statistics.
Darren Johnson quizzed the mayor over the effect of benefit caps on London, sparking the seemingly never-ending argument about whether people on benefits should be able to live in expensive areas of the capital. Presumably unused to not being on the sharp end of an accusation of failing to read the background material, the mayor made heavy weather of criticising Darren Johnson for apparently missing the fact that London had successfully negotiated a nine month grace period for people who had lost their jobs.
Has the benefit cap brought down London rents? It would appear not, especially on cheaper properties, though the mayor claims around one in 10 landlords has reduced rents as a result and there was a whole cavalcade of discussion about the 'social cleansing' implications of moving low income families outside of London boroughs — the answer is apparently to move them all to Peterborough. As a result of this particular debate, Labour AM Tom Copley found himself on the receiving end of an impromptu interrogation from the mayor as to whether he was actually a member of the Labour party.
So what else happened? We can't report any further fireworks, kickings out, tantrums or imaginative adjectives for London Assembly members but there was a fair bit of sighing, hair-ruffling, accusations of question-evading and seemingly non-ironic reminders that Darren Johnson forgot something. Oh, and the cable car. As someone else once said, 'Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.'
In case anyone was wondering about the title of this post and whether or not they'd be able to chow down on a timetable or two if they got peckish while waiting for a bus, we'd like to reassure you that it refers to the mayor's plan to plant herbs at bus stops.
Watch the webcast of MQT here.

After a 45-minute meeting Thursday morning with Gov. Martin O'Malley, NAACP national President Ben Jealous said the governor "supports repeal of the death penalty but wants the civil rights organization to line up support before he decides whether to make the effort an administration priority.
Jealous also told reporters after the State House meeting that he plans to meet next week with Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, who could be the pivotal figure in deciding whether a repeal bill gets a floor vote during the General Assembly session that starts next month.

The idea of an overland pipeline bringing hydrocarbons from Russia to India has been around for a while. Mooted under UPA rule, the proposal is gaining some traction with the NDA government. New Delhi and Moscow are looking for some big new projects to boost their stagnant commercial ties. Annual bilateral trade now hovers below a paltry $15 billion. Given the massive complementarities in the energy sector, the two sides rightly focus on making this the centrepiece of a stronger economic partnership in future.
Talks on Russian atomic reactor exports are making slow progress amidst the continuing differences over the application of India's nuclear liability act. As India's demand for oil and natural gas grows, the hydrocarbon sector presents itself as a major strategic opportunity. India already has $5bn invested in the Russian petroleum sector. India also imports crude oil worth nearly $200 million every year.
India would like to import a lot more and the idea of building a direct pipeline from Russia, therefore, has become an object of political interest in Delhi and Moscow. Further impetus for the project has come from a recent Russian deal with China to export natural gas worth $400bn over a 30-year period via a new pipeline. The idea is generating some excitement and is expected to figure in the bilateral talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the margins of the BRICS summit in Brazil.
It is easy drawing pipeline routes on the map. India knows that building them on the ground is not. For none of the pipeline projects that India has debated in the last two decades has taken off for reasons of costs, geopolitical and financial. There have been many proposals to build underwater pipelines from the Gulf to India; but cost considerations have put them on hold. Overland pipeline projects have been grounded mainly for geopolitical reasons. The plan to build the
Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) pipeline has run into strong opposition from the United States, which remains opposed to any projects involving Tehran.
India, Pakistan and Afghanistan have spent much time negotiating the TAPI pipeline that would have brought natural gas from Turkmenistan into the subcontinent. Given the security problems in the Af-Pak region, it has been hard selling the project to international bankers.
There was a plan to build a natural gas pipeline between Myanmar and India through Bangladesh. But the inability of Delhi and Dhaka to act fast saw Myanmar deciding to sell the gas to China. Beijing moved rapidly to build a twin pipeline system from the Bay of Bengal coast to the Yunnan …continued »


text: Northern Rail Trail Reviews Return to the Northern Rail Trail page Submit a Review Great trail, with benefits! By leighdee in May, 2015 Have ridden most of this trail in sections and love all of it. If you're riding the Franklin/Boscawen section on a Sunday during the summer, stop in at the Franklin Historical Society at Webster Place and say hi to the great folks there. They'll be open Sundays from 11 to 2 and will have cold drinks and snacks available for sale. The Society is responsible for the interesting new historic signs along the Franklin segment of the trail. Their home at the Webster/Tay House is a shady oasis in the middle of the hottest section of the trail...worth a stop! Nice Ride By blrollins in May, 2015 This trail is very nice. It is very well packed, but there no paved sections in the southern section we road. It follows the river, and you can take some quick exits out to towns for a break if you want. Steep embankments prevent you from going down to the river in most spots. Now to River Rd. in Boscawen By kltron in March, 2015 The Northern Rail Trail now extends to River Rd. in Boscawen, NH. The ribbon cutting was on October 14, 2014, and I rode the trail on that drizzly day from Gerrish Depot to the celebration, then to the end of the trail. The trail construction is similar to the crushed stone that's in place north of Depot St. in Boscawen, so your hybrid bicycle will do just fine. The new section has some very nice views of the Merrimack River and farm fields. As you're riding, watch for farm vehicles crossing the trail. Parking is available at the Hannah Dustin site on Rte 4 (Exit 17 / Boscawen Park & Ride parking lot), and the trailhead is only about 1/2 mile away on a very quiet road. From the Park & Ride head down the ramp, cross the tracks (they are inactive), and head north, crossing under Rte 4 on River Rd. The trailhead will be about 1/3 of a mile from there on the right. Love this trail By lawrance in August, 2014 I have been traveling along various sections of this trail now for over a year and I love this trail. It is very serene and there is very little traffic on it. I highly recommend the section in Boscawen, Northern Franklin around Webster Lake and in Andover. It seems to be pretty well maintained for the most part. Boscawen to Franklin By jamisrider in August, 2014 My wife and I tried out the Boscawen to Franklin portion of the Northern Rail Trail. There was ample parking at the athletic fields across the street from the trail head. The surface of hard-packed gravel presented no problem to our hybrid bikes. For the most part, the trail is well-maintained with evidence of brush having been trimmed back earlier in the summer (though they could've done a better job of clearing the brush off to the side). In a few places, there were low hanging tree branches and saplings bent over the trail. At various times there are nice views of the Merrimack River through the trees, but no easy access down the steep banks if you wanted a closer look. You're never far from Route 3 either as the trail essentially parallels this major north-south highway. There are a couple of historical signs and the remains of a stone foundation of a locomotive turntable to be seen along the way, but by and large there's little of interest along this 10-mile stretch. If you're looking for a good lunch stop in Franklin, go off trail and follow Route 3 into town where you'll find Al's Village Restaurant and Pizza. We look forward to trying other sections of this long trail. loved every minute of it. By hgauvin in July, 2014 Last Sunday my husband and I drove to Lebanon to pick up the trail on our bikes for the first time. We rode from Lebanon to Orange (30miles) roundtrip. We set this as a goal . We could not believe how wonderful it was . Riding around the lake was such a gift. The smells of the pines, the waterfalls and the river were just terrific.The trail was very easy to ride.There were people on thin tire bikes. My is a hybrid and my spouse was on his mountain bike. It was one of my most favorite biking days I have ever had. We plan on picking it up further down the rail and going to Grafton or farther next time. We wish we lived closer! I could make this an every weekend event. Thanks to all who keep this so well maintained. There was not one piece of litter anywhere. Such potential By kilarney in June, 2014 This trail has the makings of a fantastic trail. We rode from Lebanon, and the scenery for the first four miles or so is among the best of any rail trail I have ever seen. The trail makes several river crossings, and is generally shaded. But this trail is hard to recommend to anyone other than mountain bikers. The surface is not holding up. There are lots of ruts and soft spots along the way. It is in desperate need of an overhaul. northern rail trail from Danbury to Andover By susanchadwick in May, 2014 Wonderful ride along a stream, also padding covered bridge. Sunny in spots cool and shady in others. Andover to Danbury By amchiker in May, 2014 I rode this trail for the first time today. I remember not too many years ago when the railroad ties were still in the ground on this section. Today the trail is just about as nice as a crushed cinder surface can be. You can easily ride 2 abreast on this entire section. Beautiful scenery along the way on this early spring day. Even though it was a Saturday there were few people on the trail, maybe 7 cyclists on this 10 mile section. We parked at the Danbury Store, but there is plenty of places to park at Potter Place as well. There is a Pizza Place just off the trail in Andover (south from Potter Place), or pick up something at the Danbury Store. fabulous day, Nov 9, 2013 By country pathways in November, 2013 Two old retired folks out riding, this time from Potter Place north to Danbury and return. Quiet, cool, easy ride. Quite a few others using the trail: walkers, bikers, joggers - good to see others enjoying it! Small hot fudge sundae as our reward. First part of a long ride By robertfeder in October, 2013 Rode the first 15 miles north out of Boscawan on a beautiful Wednesday in early October. Surface of crushed rock was very flat and well maintained - fewer bumps than most asphalt trails I've ridden. I even saw a municipal employee blowing leaves off the trail at one point. First 4 miles give intermittent views of farms and the Merrimack river. At 6 miles there are the interesting remains of an old train rotator off the trail on the left. At 7.5 miles beautiful views of Webster Lake, and at 12.5 miles beautiful Highland Lake awaits. At 15 miles the trail runs between two nice small ponds, which is where I turned around. Noticeable small uphill grade all the way out, which made the ride back easier. Saw only six other people, all on bikes, for the whole ride. My only complaint about this trail is that it is often in view and earshot of the highway, but it is quite scenic nevertheless. A Rural Ride By rk2976 in September, 2013 Rode this trail in a single day on 5/4/13 from S Boscawen to Lebanon. The southern end of the trail is especially remote with a surface of stone dust. Some flat sections in the middle of the trail were muddy and slower. The northern end of the trail is more heavily used with access to facilities. Overall, a pleasant ride through rural New Hampshire. Very wooded, lots of ponds, and quiet during the week. Pack snacks and water for the southern two thirds of the trail. That said, the Danbury Store in Danbury Depot is a great place to stop for sandwiches made to order near the midway point of this trail. Expect little to no cellphone signal from ATT & VZN over most of the trail. Excellent Trail from Downtown Lebanon By srmsrm in September, 2013 I live near the northern end of this trail and ride it frequently. The first eight miles makes a great round-trip ride. There is plenty of free, paved parking at the start in downtown Lebanon, NH. The trail is hard-packed and well maintained. The ride is very scenic, through woods along the Mascoma River and Mascoma Lake, for the first eight miles out to the old Enfield train station. For the next eight miles or so out to Canaan the trail remains very well maintained and occasionally very scenic. The woods do open up however, and for some stretches you will be pedaling in the sun if it is a hot day. OK Trail By votsek in August, 2013 I rode this trail several times from the Boscawen trail head. My longest trip was 25 miles in and 25 out. The stone dust is deeper and more loose than on other trails that I ride. I would recommend using a mountain bike rather than a hybrid or road bike. My first ride on this trail was on a touring bike with 700x35 tires and it was exhausting. The trail is sometimes interesting, but lonely. The first 18 miles from Boscawen at least pass some lakes and the fringes of some towns. The upper 7 miles of my longest ride didn't have much scenery. During the week, there are very few walkers or cyclists on the trail. I think there are a few homeless camped out near Franklin and maybe a couple of other places. It is the most lonely trail that I have ridden and the homeless don't give you a feeling of safety. Nevertheless, I still plan to bike all the way to Lebanon and back some time in the future. Lebanon - Enfield By jharmuth in July, 2013 My wife and I ( the slowskis) biked this trail round trip from Lebanon ( parking - riverside road lot) to Enfield ( 8 miles, round trip) ) in July 2013 in 2 hrs 45 min. Track was very good even after a lot of rain in the past few days. Hybrid bikes even with 35mm wide tires are good as there is little sand if any. Views along the river and Mascoma Lake are great with plenty of benches to take in the views. Very slight grade from Lebonon, hardly noticeable. Of the 3 trails we biked this week including the Sugar River trail and Cotton Valley trail this has the best views and track. A Great Ride on a Hot Day By graniteman in July, 2013 We rode the trail from the northern end (Lebanon) to the southern end (Boscawan) and had a great day. A couple of observations: 1. The Danbury Country Store is a great place for a break. Good food, fair prices, and genuinely friendly staff. 2. Don't bother trying to ride it south of Gerrish Depot. The roadbed is still just the ballast from the old railroad and is virtually unrideable, even on a mountain bike. We turned around, took a break down by the river and called it a day. Tale of Two Trails By bikinggrandma in October, 2012 As new part-time residents of NH, my husband and I have enjoyed biking on this trail many times in the past couple of years. The Grafton County part of the trail can be rough in sections and we had the misfortune of blowing tires on 2 different mountain bikes (one brand-new) near Mascoma Lake this summer. There are maps all along the way and plenty of food between Lebanon and Canaan. We often plan to ride this section on Sundays and stop at the Farmer's Market in Canaan for lunch. The Merrimack County section is a nice, wooded ride, but lacks signs/maps and there are very long stretches with no access to food or places to stop. We now know to bring snacks and lunch on this section. By enfield in September, 2012 We parked at the Park & Ride today and rode the trail from Andover to Franklin; great trail. It is nice to be able to stop and enjoy Higland Lake and Webster Lake. Otherwise not really much to see. Someone does a great job with the upkeep of the trail ! By stormc in August, 2012 Tuesday July 24, 2012 two friends and I rode the rail trail from Potter Place 14.8 miles to its end at Webster Place in Franklin. The trail surface was very good for the 6 miles to Highland Lake and excellent beyond that. (on my 1 inch tires) Granny Judy's Kitchen on Rt 3 across from Benson Auto in Franklin was recommended for Lunch. 12 miles from the RR station, go N on Chance Pond Road, 1st R on N Main St (11/3A) for a block. It's on L. We found out it is closed on Tuesdays. :( The trip to Franklin took an hour and a half of easy riding each way. Franklin is 350 feet lower than Potter Place, so noticeably more energy was expended on the return trip, but it was never enough to be called a hill. Some beautiful scenery, mostly pristine. Nice ride. Storm Connors Nice historical site at Potter Place By kltron in June, 2012 I rode the Winnipesaukee Rail Trail from Tilton to Franklin, then on-road through Franklin to Chance Pond Rd. to pick up the Northern Rail Trail for a ride to Potter Place in Andover, NH. It was a scramble up from Chance Pond Rd. to the Northern Rail Trail atop a railroad bridge, and I was greeted by a smooth crushed stone trail with a concrete mile marker nearby (the trail in that section has been graded and resurfaced recently, and the work is heading south to reach Concord, NH). I hopped back on my hybrid bicycle and rode northwest. Much of the trail is isolated and wooded with the occasional street crossing, but for stretches it parallels and crosses local routes, which you can sometimes see and hear. The trail's surface changed to slightly larger stone for a short while, and for some stretches it was more like an old dirt road with a variable surface, but it was still very passable on a hybrid. There are several bridges over water and several underpasses beneath roads, including one trestle that crosses very near a covered bridge. After a short while I encountered Webster Lake, where you can hop off the trail and stop for a swim if you like. Further up the trail is Highland Lake, and beyond that the trail turns rather dry in the hotter weather. There is little canopy, so have plenty of water handy--bring what you need, as there are no stores visible from the trail pretty much all the way from Franklin to Andover. I rode into Potter Place in Andover, NH, passing some short sections of track that are in place as part of this historical section of town, and one siding had a boxcar, another a caboose. I discovered that the station and the old general store were open as historical exhibits, a few hours on Saturdays and Sundays. It was great to look at the railroad station as it was years ago, the same with the caboose out back and the general store across the street. The people from the Andover Historical Society were delightful and gave me tours. Had I not been so worn out from the hot, sunny ride I would have spent more time chatting, but I opted to go lie down at the picnic table near the station and have a late lunch. Someone has created a small garden in a shady cellar hole near the picnic area behind the station, making the picnic area relaxing after your ride. As the day was wearing on, I hopped back on the bike and made my way back to Franklin and then the Winnipesaukee River Trail to where I parked the car in Tilton, a total of about 34 miles round trip. Great trail! By 123lui4ge in December, 2011 Over the past few months I've ridden - on my son's hybrid... - from West Franklin to Mascoma Lake in 15 to 20 mile stretches. This is the best rail trail I've been on - solid surface of crushed stone, quite wide, only rare spots of sand or water and those easily navigated. Downed trees from this fall's storms were almost all cleared up, or at least clipped to give a tunnel. I could simply cruise along and enjoy the scenery and the quiet. I had a great time. Heartfelt thanks to all who created this and maintain it! Lebanon east to Mascoma Lake By charlespalmer51 in October, 2011 Columbus weekend foliage is looking good so my wife and I decided to take a ride on the Northern Rail Trail from Lebanon. We were pleased to find ample parking at the trail head in Lebanon. We have tadpole recumbent trikes that have 16" slick tires which were not the perfect tires for the dirt pack surface but it was ok. As we made our way along the trail we stopped at the many bridges for a view of the Mascoma River and foliage. After an hour we decided to turn around just short of Mascoma Lake and found the ride back to be much easier, slight downhill grade, which was much appreciated. Northern Rail- Merrimack County August 17, 2011 By youker in August, 2011 The first couple of miles from Zaccaria Road are a bit rough but no problem for a hybrid. The rest of the new trail surface is covered with small crushed stone which I found took a bit more effort on petaling because of the loose surface. It is a wonderful trail with nice scenery and general stores for supplies and meals esp. Danbury. There is a much better start to the trail in West Franklin than behind the Congregational Church which requires a very steep up hill. If you drive just a bit farther down (south) on Rt. 3 to a right turn on Depot Street and driving a short distance and swinging left a few yards and turning right through an underpass and then turning left on Wells Ave. you will see the entrance to the end of the trail immediately on your left. There is more trail futher south but it is big stones and not good for biking. They hope build several more miles when they get the funds. All of this shows up very well on the Google maps enlarged. Youker Eastern part By youker in August, 2011 Last August I did the part from Canaan west to Lebanon and this year I finished the trail from Canaan east to the county line at Zaccaria Road The trail was a bit rough but fine with a hybrid bike. The last two miles from Grafton to the county line was a bit rougher with slightly larger stones. There is parking at Zaccaria Road. There is a nice general store in Grafton right on the trail. I then continued on the Merrimack County section to Potter Place. Youker osborn2ride By laretha in July, 2011 I did 15 miles up from Franklyn for a 30 mile round trip and had a great ride. It was Monday July 18th and there was nobody on this trail. I did not see my first person until 11 miles in and only past about 7 people on my round trip. This end of the trail in not as pretty as the north end but it is still a nice ride. I was on an old Mt bike with a road tire and it worked great for me. osborn2ride By laretha in July, 2011 I did the trail on 16th of July with my brother, his wife and there two children, Patric age nine and Ann age eleven, it was a beautiful day and there was a ton of traffic on the trail. The best was a guy with a tag along, with a four year old and a nine month old in a seat on his handle bars. This was one of my very first Rails to Trails and has a fond spot in my hart. You could do it on a road bike but you would need an aggressive tire. My brother was on his Hybrid, I was on a old Mt Bike with a street tire, both girls where on Mt bikes. Lots of shade and you pass Mascoma Lake and there are a couple of spot that you can go in for a swim. Northern Rail Trail Grafton Cty By youker in August, 2010 I submitted a picture of the start of theGrafton Cty part of the trail at Zaccaria Road at the eastern end which is clearly passable with a hybrid bike and where there is parking off Rt 4. I also submitted a picture to the Merrimack web site taken in the other direction at the same point where the Merrimack section of the trail is clearly grown up. There are plans to work on this section of the trail soon. Youker 8/25/2010 Northern Rail Trail - Grafton County By youker in August, 2010 I did the Canaan to Lebanon 13.5 miles one way in an hour and a half on 8/24/2010 of this wonderful unpaved trail along the Mascoma River and Lake. The section from Enfield to Lebanon is more heavily used and in better condition, although the section west of Canaan was no problem for a hybrid bike. I saw a lot of road bikes on the Enfield section. The trail is level or gradually downhill from Canaan with good views of both flat and white water river from the many bridges. The section along the lake is particularly scenic. The small maps at the little kiosks at some parking areas give good mileage but the sign at the start in Lebanon near the town green is totally wrong. At Enfield there is a 20 foot dam and a very large old textile mill. The trail runs close to Rt 4 with many places to connect even though the highway is very hilly. Youker osborn2ride By laretha in July, 2010 I have used this trail twice and it is one great trail. The Northern Rail group has done a great job and it is a very easy ride. It is family friendly and a cross over bike is ok. Parking directions By pilots48 in July, 2010 Road the entire trail yesterday. Was as the previous post stated. As for the parking directions here is the correct version on the Grafton end. If you want to go the 23.8 miles as stated, take route 4 into Danbury, NH. and park at Zaccaria Rd.. Danbury is just East of Grafton and if you look for Zaccaria Rd. on your GPS in Grafton you won't find it. You will see a town line marker when you are on the trail. Not sure what store they are talking about but there is nothing across the street. The Lebanon half of the trail is the most improved. The trail does continue East of Zaccaria Rd. but not very well kept up. I did not take that end of the trail. As for parking off Depot st. that is also in Danbury opposite Ragged Mountain Hwy. That would add about 2.8 more miles length to the 23.8 mile trail. A dream By Woodchuck in November, 2009 This trail is an absolute dream for bikes. We rode it this fall end to end and have no complaints. Nice country side, beautiful views, especially along Mascoma Lake. Good parking at various places along the trail. Can't wait for the trail to be extended all the way to Franklin. Nice trail but rough By Woodchuck in June, 2009 Nice trail for biking but very rough at times. The trail has extensive use by horses and the divots from their hoofs create quite a bit of vibration on a bike. However, with only one major road crossing it is a very enjoyable trail. Riding the Northern Rail Trail Between Potter Place and Dyer's Crossing in Andover, NH By aabernhard in May, 2009 The two best places to start on the trail are either the restored Potter Place RR Station on the Northwest end or from the Highland Lake Inn www.highlandlakeinn.com near the Southeastern end. Both have parking and bathroom or porta potty facilities. The Inn happens to also be a very good European style place to stay if you are there overnight. If you start from the Inn, go two miles south through the most beautiful section of the trail to the end at Dyer's Crossing, then turn around and go the full eight miles to Potter Place. There is a convenience store near the Inn and another in Andover, an easy half mile off the trail. Proctor Academy, an independent private high school, is also in Andover. There is a covered bridge and a swimming hole about a mile west of Andover. From the Potter Place end you can add another 10 miles or so of back paved road riding around Wilmot. Funds are in hand to extend the trail another two miles toward Franklin in September of '09 and another eight miles toward Danbury in '10. A sweet trail By RussNelson in September, 2008 I rode on this trail while my wife shopped at Patternworks, over in Center Harbor. Only had time to ride 7 miles of the trail. The eastern end of this trail stops at the county line. The railbed continuing east is legally accessible, and is probably usable by snow machines, but still has the ballast. I've ridden on ballast before and it's no fun. They have plans to replace it with rock dust in 2010. I rode in the direction of Grafton and had a great ride. Encountered a few walkers, and the day before (driving in) saw a few other bicyclists. Not a busy trail, but a nice trail. Plenty of interesting railroad artifacts. Took photos of all but the whistle post east of Grafton, uploaded them to Flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/russnelson/tags/northernrailtrail/ There's a nice treatment of a former at-grade crossing. They rebuilt the highway bridge over a stream just off the railbed, and left room on the side for the trail. So there's a slope down, a bit of rusty drainage, and a slope back up, but no cars. One of the best By Fletch6 in October, 2007 "I biked from Lebanon to Canaan and back today and was amazed. This trail is the most scenic and best I have explored in NH. the weather was perfect and the packed surface was smooth and could be used by a road bike. In fact I was amazed by how many were out on the trail today a week day and about half were on road bikes.we stopped in Enfield for lunch and are going back soon to do the east end. Trail is up hill from Lebanon to Canaan and then you can roll on the return. Lots and good parking at the end at Lebanon. " Hot but great By in October, 2007 "Rode from Grafton north to Enfield today. trail was great, saw geese gathering in orange getting ready to fly south. songbirds everywhere collecting wild cherries. I have walked and ridden the full length of the trail several times and keep visiting again. Bridge work in Canaan on September 8, 2007 to redo the deck. All are invited to help" Amazing By in May, 2005 This is an absolutely beautiful ride. I bike from Goose Pond Road to Lebanon once a week going to work and hope to do it twice a week. It's such a wonderful way to start the day!! The trail is very well kept and it's so beautiful just riding by the Mascoma River and Lake. It makes my day!! New things on trail By in July, 2004 "I walk or bike the trail several times a week. Use caution at the ""double bridge."" The railing supports have broken on one bridge. At the trailhead at Mascoma Lake a family of beaver have built a dam and lodge adjacent to the trail opposite the lake. In the evening the beaver can be watched working in the pond" Beautiful trail By in October, 2003 We biked this trail from both ends. It is absolutely beautiful from the Lebanon end going in with Mascoma Lake. The leaves were changing colors and we really enjoyed the trail bed itself. There is a nice hard surface for bike riding. Excellent!! By tom298 in July, 2002 "Well maintained, super views, particularly the section from Lebanon to Canaan. Need mileage markers and better signs to off trail services. Start at Lebanon and you will have slight downgrade for last four miles of return trip."

Today, we look at AUPEO!, whose iPad streaming app arrived on the scene this week, one week after its iPhone app debuted.

IMDb Movies & TV, Free & Universal, Updated August 22
The IMDb Looks To Better Integrate Account-Only Features Into Their iOS App
The Internet Movie Database app for iOS received a few user interface tweaks a couple of days ago, and the focus is on account-related activities.
These minor UI element changes and additions will seem much more significant for those who use the app beyond a reference tool for the questions of, "what's the name of that movie?" and "what's his name?" For example, the history button has become a lists button, which also includes "your history." In fact, most of the changes are for those who enjoy using lists, where you can now manage them on the app and the website.

POOR Pluto. First it gets kicked out of the planet club, now it has lost its spot as the coldest known place in the solar system. Dark craters on our own moon have snatched that title - which is good news for the prospects of finding water ice.
Instruments on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) measured the emitted and reflected radiation given off by the lunar surface to gauge temperatures within craters at the lunar south pole. Shadows cast by crater margins keep some regions in permanent darkness. The measurements revealed they stay at a chilly -240 °C, just 33 °C above absolute zero. Pluto was measured at -230 °C in 2006.
The cold temperature bodes well for the prospect of finding water ice in the moon's shadowy pockets. Previous calculations had shown that water and volatile gases would dissipate into space at temperatures above about -220 °C.

Nine FAQs About Ramadan
from The Huffington Post
What is the history of Ramadan?
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Arabian calendar. The term Ramadan literally means scorching in Arabic. It was established as a Holy Month for Muslims after the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in 610 CE on the occasion known as Laylat al-Qadr, frequently translated as "the Night of Power.
What is the 'goal' of Ramadan?
In general, the practices of Ramadan are meant to purify oneself from thoughts and deeds which are counter to Islam. By removing material desires, one is able to focus fully on devotion and service to God. Many Muslims go beyond the physical ritual of fasting and attempt to purge themselves of impure thoughts and motivations such as anger, cursing, and greed.

Alrewas garage offers £100 reward offered to help catch fuel thief
Posted: September 03, 2014|
PEOPLE are being offered the chance to win £100 of fuel as part of an effort to catch a thief.
Owners of the Ivy Garage, in Main Street, Alrewas, have launched the unique campaign as part of an effort to try to locate a man who stole fuel on two separate occasions.
Now, after Staffordshire Police revealed officers were linking the incidents, garage bosses have released CCTV images of the man who sped from the scene without putting his hand in his pocket.
A spokesman for the garage told the Mail: "A reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of a man believed to be responsible for two fuel thefts in Burton.
"The first incident happened on August 5 at the JT Leavesley Ltd garage in Alrewas, while the second occurred at the same petrol station at 8.50pm on Friday, August 22.
"In the latest incident the offender, driving a vehicle with stolen numberplates, stole £62.42 of fuel.
"Police are linking the two offences and are investigating.
"We have now released a CCTV image of the suspect in the hope that someone might recognise him and contact police with information.
"A reward of £100 of fuel has been offered to the first person who comes forward with information which results in an arrest."
Anyone with information is asked to call police on the non-emergency 101 or number, or con Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111 (Crime No:FZ47534/2014).
People can contact the garage by calling 01283 790333.

A group of us sat down to lunch on a rainy day last week and I started to scour the wine list for a red to ward off the chill. When half of the diners mentioned their preference for white wine, I panned to the chardonnay options hoping for a richly textured but un-oaked version.
And there it was — the Stony Hill Chardonnay ($42). For anyone wanting a crisp and complex chardonnay, Stony Hill should be on your shortlist. The 2007 even trumped all expectations. There was a striking flintiness and minerality with nice acidity in the wine, but also rich red apple, pear and juicy peach flavors that lingered on.

We recognize that parents provide a great deal of financial and emotional support to their children while they are students at WMU. However, we must balance this recognition with the fact that WMU students are legally adults and their legal rights must be fully respected, particularly with concern to their privacy rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Please visit the links to the left for information on privacy rights, academics and other helpful parent resources.
WMU has created a Parent & Family Office to facilitate communication with the families of our students and to provide a place where questions can be answered. By providing your email address to this office, you will receive regular newsletters with information on what's happening on campus, important dates and deadlines and other timely information. Visit the Parent and Family website for more information.
