"What is the foam weight of this mattres, in each layer?"
I heard that memory foam beds were really firm so I made sure to order a soft one. My husband and I love this bed. We are so satisfied with the price. I only wish it came with boxsprings like beds do when you buy them at a mattress store. Anyways the delivery was great too. It came the day we moved in which was the earliest it was supposed to come. the bed expanded in less than 24 hrs and I didnt even notice a smell or anything other ppl talk about when we went to sleep on it. 6 year later the mattress is still great!...

Great bed. Best one yet.
A few years ago I bought two full size memory foam mattresses off overstock.com and loved them. Never wanted to buy another mattress. But, After my wife got pregnant and we soon realized we don't fit on a full size bed any more, we realized that we we need a bigger bed. The first thing we bought for our new house was this mattress, in a king size. I must say, I absolutely fell in love with this mattress.I thought I wanted a firmer mattress, but this one is nice and soft. It wraps itself around you while being very supportive. I love my sleep and this mattress makes it that much harder to wake up in the morning. Our only complaint about this mattress is that the sheets don't stay on. Where our body's dip into the mattress the sheets come up around the middle of the mattress. But believe me, it is a small price to pay for a mattress this comfortable. I strong recommend this mattress to any and everybody.Read More
Finally submitting review...
Bought this forever ago and never got around to reviewing but felt it necessary! We will never go back to regular mattresses again. Everyone who has had a chance to sleep on it says its their best rest ever, definitely love that others commented to get firm, it's perfect!Read More
great mattress, at any price
i was sceptical coming from using a spring mattress, but anything had to be better than what i had. I made the leap of faith and bought it. im so happy i bouth the soft support because it is firm, yet soft. I think anything firmer would have been a mistake. It might be a little to firm for someone who is light, I weigh about 200 lbs. But my 10 year son hates it and says it too hard. I think becasue he is too light to actually "sink in" Just something to consider. But my wife wight about 150 and she likes it alot too, so if you weigh less that 100, it might just be a little to hard. I have had this mattress about 3 weeks now and there is no sinking or denting at all. I'm so happy I bought it.Read More
Best nights sleep ever!
My husband and I had been sleeping on the same mattres we have had for 12+ years. It was a pillow top that cost us twice and much money as this one did. I have no clue what other people are talking about when they complain about the odor. It is so mild I wonder if they live in a bubble of something. Anywho, I hadn't been able to get a full night of sleepfor months leading up to buying this mattres. It was love at first sight...oh...I mean sleep:0 My back no longer hurts in the morning and I find that when I wake up, I am in the same position that I started out in...wow...that never ever happened before. I love that it came with a washable cover and the two free pillows are great...a little small but my head isn't that big anyway.....so to sum it all up. I love it, I plan on buying one for each one of my kids and I rave about it to everyone I know. My budget was very tight $580 or under....I was able to buy my mattres, a new blanket and sheet set all for under $500.00. Where else could you find a deal like that other than the "O"!Read More

Memory Foam Mattress
This mattress met or exceeded my expectations. I sleep great on it since I've bought it. It comes vacuum sealed and rolled up. This particular product is heavy but easy (relatively) for one able man to carry because of the packaging.Read More
Great Mattress
The Mattress is great. came vacuum sealed and once opened up it expanded to full size within minutes. It is a bit firmer than I expected but still very comfortable. My wife likes mattresses a bit softer so after a few days we purchased a ** memory foam topper from ** and now we both agree that the bed is perfect. Spending an extra ** dollars after saving hundreds still seems like a great deal to me! so I would definitely recommend this mattress to anyone, but also recommend purchasing a cheap memory foam topper to create the perfect bed.Read More
The best. Very comfortable memory foam mattress!
Ok, this is my first memory foam mattress and I wasn't sure what to expect. All I knew was that I needed a new mattress and I wanted it to be soft. I read hundreds of reviews before just finally just picking this mattress. Let's just say, BEST DECISION EVER. First, I was kind of thrown off with the whole mattress in a box or rolled up thing. I just thought how is a mattress that is rolled up get thick enough to hold body weight and not sink to the floor all while being soft. It's possible believe me. The mattress came rolled up. It was kind of heavy. My husband and I unpacked it. That took all of about 5 minutes to do. Use scissors to cut the plastic not a box cutter or anything else because it would be super easy to cut the mattress. Now, let me just mention the 1 not so good thing about this mattress. It does smell (at first). We immediately smelled the smell as soon as we cut the plastic. It's not the worst smell but it's definitely nothing I would choose to have my mattress smell like. It's a weird smell I guess from the plastic package. It took like 5 days for the smell to be completely gone. The 1st day my entire apartment smelled like it. But the rest of the days I only smelted it if I put my nose to the mattress. What I love about this mattress. It's super comfortable. It's firm but it literally forms to your body and gets soft where you are laying. I have yet to feel my husband move in the bed. He can roll over and kick and I won't feel it. My 3 year old climbs in the bed at night with me and my husband says he never even feels him getting in the bed or moving. I literally feel rested in the morning. This mattress has stopped me from moving so much at night. I lay down and literally don't change positions for hours because I'm that comfortable. I never realized how much of a difference a mattress can make until this mattress. My mattress before this one was a 12 inch pillow top mattress that I loved. I thought it couldn't get better than that but it did with this new mattress. Believe me when I say that this mattress has made it possible for me to lay on my back. I suffer from lower back pain due to an past epidural. Before I wasn't able to lay on my back comfortable so I was limited to my side and stomach. Now I can lay on my back the mattress forms and is soft around my back and wow I'm so comfortable. Buy this mattress. You will love it. I guess I'll do another review in a few months to update that status of the mattress. Some people say after time the mattress sinks where you lay the most. Not true for me so far. Best mattress I've ever had.Read More
Solid Purchase
The bed is plenty comfy and the factory/chemical smell dissipated after a few days. I bought mine during the 4th of July sale so the price was right. Probably wouldn't have bought the bed if it was full-price but that's mainly because of my own price constraints.Read More

Cooperation with Defection
The Prisoner Dilemma is a typical structure of interaction in human societies. In spite of a long tradition dealing with the matter from different perspectives, the emergence of cooperation or defection still remains a controversial argument from both empirical and theoretical point of views. In this paper an innovative model is presented and analyzed in the attempt to provide a reasonable framing of the issue. A population of boundedly rational agents repeatedly chooses to cooperate or defect. Each agent's action affects only her interacting mates, according to a network of relationships which is endogenously modifiable since agents are given the possibility to substitute undesired mates with unknown ones. Full cooperation, full defection and coexistence of both cooperation and defection in homogeneous clusters are possible outcomes of the model. A computer program is developed with the purpose of understanding the impact of parameters values on the type of outcome. Numerous simulations are run and the resulting evidence is analyzed and interpreted

Thirty thousand attendees and scores of Obama-philes will descend on the city of Charlotte in September for the 2012 Democratic National Convention. If you plan on joining the crowd, we've prepared a cheat sheet to get the most from the host city, which has quietly become a culturally rich Southern haven. Here are the must-see, must-visit, must-eat-at destinations. Best part: All are within five miles of the Center City action.
The Metropolitan (Midtown)
This restaurant row of trendy eateries is guaranteed to have something for everyone, no matter your budget or if your outfit is suit chic or sneaker casual. Enjoy picante Mexican cuisine at La Paz (a local favorite since 1979), aquatic delights at Pisces, modern Italian at Vivace, American fare at Dresslers, and the best bar food at Hickory Tavern. The city skyline frames each of these locations, adding instant ambiance to your meal.
Amélie's French Bakery (NoDa)
Finally, a meeting place for those with a penchant for salted caramel brownies and twice-baked croissants. The laid-back "shabby chic" environs attract locals from all over the city looking for good food and good company 24 hours a day.
Bonterra Dining & Wine Room (Dilworth)
Bonterra was voted one of the hottest new wine bars by Wine Spectator. The fried lobster tail gets top marks, as does the selection of more than 200 wines by the glass. This bar is located inside a 110-year-old renovated church.
The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar (South Park)
Bright pop art makes you feel like you're in a gallery at this temple of surf and turf. Carnivorous adventurers will appreciate the Filet Oscar Roll and other red-meat-themed mash-ups on the Burgushi menu. Traditionalists will be tempted by the sashimi and specialty rolls or the Angus beef burgers. Dessert —in cocktail form—makes for a sweet ending: think Chocolate Dipped Fortune Cookie and German Chocolate Cake martinis.
Terrace Café (SouthPark)
Red velvet waffles and banana pecan French toast keep this airy, twostory eatery a popular breakfast option among Charlotte's cognoscenti. Beyond breakfast, there are plenty of savory gems on the lunch and dinner menus that make it worth a repeat visit at any hour of the day.
Bistro La Bon (Plaza Midwood)
With exposed brick walls and an intimate atmosphere, this resto has gained a well-deserved rep as one of the best. Locally grown fresh produce, organic meats, and farm-raised fish keep locavores happy, as does Chef Majid Amoorpour's melt-in-your-mouth bourbon brioche bread pudding.

I have decided to write a blog about me so you guys can get to know me better. I started kindergarten when I was 4 years old (early, right?) and I have been wanting to learn ever since. In 6th grade I got the "Best Technology Student Award" for being a so called "tech-geek" and for helping students with laptop problems. I love technology and how it works and I also love how technology ties in with Science and Math. I am currently in 7th grade right now and I currently take Spanish, General Music, STEM, Social Studies, Math, Science LA, Drama, etc.
I volunteer at the school library, and so I check out books for students and check books into the library. I also put books away and make new covers for the books that need them. As I said above, I am a "tech-geek" and I am the libraries "Tech Staff Student" meaning if their is any problems with the school libraries computer, you cintact me and I fix them. I have had many pets in the past and I currently have 4 dogs (crazy, I know). My parents are divorced and have to go between two houses :-(.
I like to play games alot especially FNAF (Five Nights at Freddys) and FNAF 2 (Five Nights at Freddys 2). I cannot wait until the 3rd one comes out but I have heard that it probably wont come out until 2016 or 2017. I am a gamer (Not a good one though depending on some categories) and I am not the "popular one" in school, which is fine because I dont need alot of friends.
Thanks for taking your time reading this blog! :-D
Happy Holidays to all!

New Hampshire (i /nuːˈhæmpʃər/) is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. The state was named after the southern English county of Hampshire. It borders Massachusetts to the south, Vermont to the west, Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north. New Hampshire ranks 44th in land area, 46th in total area of the 50 states, and 42nd in population.[4]
It became the first post-colonial sovereign nation in the Americas when it broke off from Great Britain in January 1776, and was one of the original thirteen states that founded the United States of America six months later. In June 1788, it became the ninth state to ratify the United States Constitution, bringing that document into effect. New Hampshire was the first U.S. state to have its own state constitution.
It is known internationally for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the quadrennial U.S. presidential election cycle. Concord is the state capital, while Manchester is the largest city in the state. It has no general sales tax, nor is personal income (other than interest and dividends) taxed at either the state or local level.[5]
Its license plates carry the state motto: "Live Free or Die". The state nickname is "The Granite State", in reference to its geology and its tradition of self-sufficiency. [6]
Among prominent individuals from New Hampshire are founding father Nicholas Gilman, Senator Daniel Webster, Revolutionary War hero John Stark, editor Horace Greeley, founder of the Christian Science religion Mary Baker Eddy, poet Robert Frost, astronaut Alan Shepard, and author Dan Brown. New Hampshire has produced one president: Franklin Pierce.
New Hampshire's major recreational attractions include skiing, snowmobiling and other winter sports, hiking and mountaineering, observing the fall foliage, summer cottages along many lakes and the seacoast, motor sports at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Motorcycle Week, a popular motorcycle rally held in Weirs Beach near Laconia in June. The White Mountain National Forest links the Vermont and Maine portions of the Appalachian Trail, and boasts the Mount Washington Auto Road, where visitors may drive to the top of 6,288-foot (1,917 m) Mount Washington.
New Hampshire has the shortest ocean coastline in the United States, approximately 18 miles long.[7]
Geography Edit
- See List of counties in New Hampshire, mountains, lakes, and rivers
New Hampshire is part of the New England region. It is bounded by Quebec, Canada, to the north and northwest; Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east; Massachusetts to the south; and Vermont to the west. New Hampshire's major regions are the Great North Woods, the White Mountains, the Lakes Region, the Seacoast, the Merrimack Valley, the Monadnock Region, and the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee area. New Hampshire has the shortest ocean coastline of any U.S. coastal state, with a length of 18 miles (29 km).New Hampshire was home to the rock formation called the Old Man of the Mountain, a face-like profile in Franconia Notch, until the formation fell apart in May 2003.
The White Mountains range in New Hampshire spans the north-central portion of the state, with Mount Washington the tallest in the northeastern U.S. – site of the second-highest wind speed ever recorded[8] – and other mountains like Mount Madison and Mount Adams surrounding it. With hurricane-force winds every third day on average, over 100 recorded deaths among visitors, and conspicuous krumholtz (dwarf, matted trees much like a carpet of bonsai trees), the climate on the upper reaches of Mount Washington has inspired the weather observatory on the peak to claim that the area has the "World's Worst Weather".[9]
In the flatter southwest corner of New Hampshire, the landmark Mount Monadnock has given its name to a class of earth-forms—a monadnock—signifying, in geomorphology, any isolated resistant peak rising from a less resistant eroded plain.
Major rivers include the 110-mile (177 km) Merrimack River, which bisects the lower half of the state north-south and ends up in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Its tributaries include the Contoocook River, Pemigewasset River, and Winnipesaukee River. The 410-mile (660 km) Connecticut River, which starts at New Hampshire's Connecticut Lakes and flows south to Connecticut, defines the western border with Vermont. The state border is not in the center of that river, as usually the case, but at the low-water mark on the Vermont side; meaning that the entire river along the Vermont border (save for areas where the water level has been raised by a dam) lies within New Hampshire.[10] Only one town – Pittsburg – shares a land border with the state of Vermont. The "northwesternmost headwaters" of the Connecticut also define the Canadian border with New Hampshire.
The Piscataqua River and its several tributaries form the state's only significant ocean port where they flow into the Atlantic at Portsmouth. The Salmon Falls River and the Piscataqua define the southern portion of the border with Maine. The Piscataqua River boundary was the subject of a border dispute between New Hampshire and Maine in 2001, with New Hampshire claiming dominion over several islands (primarily Seavey's Island) that include the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the case in 2002, leaving ownership of the island with Maine.
The largest of New Hampshire's lakes is Lake Winnipesaukee, which covers 71 square miles (184 km2) in the east-central part of New Hampshire. Lake Umbagog along the Maine border, approximately 12.3 square miles (31.9 km2), is a distant second.
Hampton Beach is a popular local summer destination. About 7 miles (11 km) offshore are the Isles of Shoals, nine small islands (four of which are in New Hampshire) known as the site of a 19th century art colony founded by poet Celia Thaxter, as well as the alleged location of one of the buried treasures of the pirate Blackbeard.
It is the state with the second highest percentage of timberland area in the country, after Maine.[11]
New Hampshire is in the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome. Much of the state, in particular the White Mountains, is covered by the conifers and northern hardwoods of the New England-Acadian forests. The southeast corner of the state and parts of the Connecticut River along the Vermont border are covered by the mixed oaks of the Northeastern coastal forests.[12]
The northern third of the state is locally referred to as the "north country" or "north of the notches," in reference to White Mountain passes that channel traffic. It contains less than 5% of the state's population, suffers relatively high poverty, and is losing population as the logging and paper industries decline. However, the tourist industry, in particular visitors who go to northern New Hampshire to ski, snowboard, hike and mountain bike has helped offset economic losses from mill closures.
Climate Edit
New Hampshire experiences a humid continental climate (Koppen climate classification Dfa in southern areas and Dfb in the north), with warm, humid summers, cold, wet winters, and uniform precipitation all year. The climate of the southeastern portion is moderated by the Atlantic Ocean and averages relatively milder and wetter weather, while the northern and interior portions experience cooler temperatures and lower humidity. Winters are cold and snowy throughout the state, and especially severe in the northern and mountainous areas. Average annual snowfall ranges from 60 inches (150 cm) to over 100 inches (250 cm) across the state.[13]
Average daytime highs are in the mid 70s°F to low 80s°F (around 24–28 °C) throughout the state in July, with overnight lows in the mid 50s°F to low 60s°F (13–15 °C). January temperatures range from an average high of 34 °F (1 °C) on the coast to overnight lows below 0 °F (−18 °C) in the far north and at high elevations. Average annual precipitation statewide is roughly 40 inches (100 cm) with some variation occurring in the White Mountains due to differences in elevation and annual snowfall. New Hampshire's highest recorded temperature was 106 °F (41 °C) in Nashua on July 4, 1911, while the lowest recorded temperature was −47 °F (−43.9 °C) atop Mount Washington on January 29, 1934. Mount Washington also saw an unofficial −50 °F (−45.6 °C) reading on January 22, 1885 which, if made official, would tie the all-time record low for New England (also −50 °F (−45.6 °C) at Big Black River, Maine on January 16, 2009 and Bloomfield, Vermont on December 30, 1933).
Extreme snow is often associated with a nor'easter, such as the Blizzard of '78 and the Blizzard of 1993, when several feet accumulated across portions of the state over 24 to 48 hours. Lighter snowfall of several inches occur frequently throughout winter, often associated with an Alberta Clipper.
New Hampshire, on occasion, is affected by hurricanes and tropical storms although by the time they reach the state they are often extratropical, with most storms striking the southern New England coastline and moving inland or passing by offshore in the Gulf of Maine. Most of New Hampshire averages fewer than 20 days of thunderstorms per year and an average of 2 tornadoes occur annually statewide.[14]
The National Arbor Day Foundation plant hardiness zone map depicts zones 3, 4, 5, and 6 occurring throughout the state[15] and indicates the transition from a relatively cooler to warmer climate as one travels southward across New Hampshire. The 1990 USDA plant hardiness zones for New Hampshire range from zone 3b in the north to zone 5b in the south.[16]
Metropolitan areas Edit
|Metropolitan areas in the New England region are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs). The following is a list of NECTAs in New Hampshire:

History Edit
Various Algonquian (Pennacook) tribes inhabited the area prior to European settlement. English and French explorers visited New Hampshire in 1600–1605, and English fishermen settled at Odiorne's Point in present-day Rye in 1623. The first permanent settlement was at Hilton's Point (present-day Dover). By 1631, the Upper Plantation comprised modern-day Dover, Durham and Stratham; in 1679, it became the "Royal Province."
New Hampshire was one of the thirteen colonies that rebelled against British rule during the American Revolution. By the time of the American Revolution, New Hampshire was a divided province. The economic and social life of the Seacoast revolved around sawmills, shipyards, merchant's warehouses, and established village and town centers. Wealthy merchants built substantial homes, furnished them with the finest luxuries, and invested their capital in trade and land speculation. At the other end of the social scale, there developed a permanent class of day laborers, mariners, indentured servants and even slaves.
The only battle fought in New Hampshire was the raid on Fort William and Mary, December 14, 1774, in Portsmouth Harbor, which netted the rebellion sizable quantities of gunpowder, small arms and cannon. (General Sullivan, leader of the raid, described it as, "remainder of the powder, the small arms, bayonets, and cartouche-boxes, together with the cannon and ordnance stores") over the course of two nights. This raid was preceded by a warning to local patriots the previous day, by Paul Revere on December 13, 1774, that the fort was to be reinforced by troops sailing from Boston. According to unverified accounts, the gunpowder was later used at the Battle of Bunker Hill, transported there by Major Demerit, who was one of several New Hampshire patriots who stored the powder in their homes until it was transported elsewhere for use in revolutionary activities.
New Hampshire was a Jacksonian stronghold; the state sent Franklin Pierce to the White House in the election of 1852. Industrialization took the form of numerous textile mills, which in turn attracted large flows of immigrants from Quebec (the "French Canadians") and Ireland. The northern parts of the state produced lumber and the mountains provided tourist attractions. After 1960, the textile industry collapsed, but the economy rebounded as a center of high technology and a service provider.
Since 1952, New Hampshire gained national and international attention for its presidential primary held early in every presidential election year. It immediately became the most important testing grounds for candidates for the Republican and Democratic nominations. The media gave New Hampshire (and Iowa) about half of all the attention paid to all states in the primary process, magnifying the state's decision powers (and spurring repeated efforts by out-of-state politicians to change the rules.)
Demographics Edit
|Historical populations
|Source: 1910-2010[17]
As of the 2010 census, New Hampshire has a population of 1,316,470 residents, which is an increase of 80,684, or 6.5%, from the prior census in 2000.[4]
The center of population of New Hampshire is located in Merrimack County, in the town of Pembroke.[18] The center of population has moved south 12 miles (19 km) since 1950,[19] a reflection of the fact that the fastest growth in the state has been along its southern border, which is within commuting range of Boston and other Massachusetts cities.

As of 2004, the population includes 64,000 residents born outside the United States (4.9%).
In 2006, New Hampshire had the lowest birth rate in the nation.[20]
Ancestry groups Edit
The largest ancestry groups in New Hampshire are:[21]
- 22.7% Irish
- 18.9% English
- 17.0% French
- 10.3% Italian
- 9.4% German
- 8.5% French Canadian
- 4.8% Scottish
- 4.5% Polish
- 2.7% Scots-Irish
- 2.2% Swedish
- 1.6% Greek
- 1.5% Portuguese
The large Irish American and French-Canadian populations are descended largely from mill workers, and many still live in the former mill towns, like Manchester. New Hampshire has the highest percentage (25.5% of the population) of residents of French/French-Canadian/Acadian ancestry of any U.S. state.
According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 3.41% of the population aged 5 and older speak French at home, while 1.60% speak Spanish.[22]
In Coös County, 16% of the population speaks French at home [22]
Religion Edit
Percentage of New Hampshire residents by religion (from USA Today):[23]
- Christian – 72%
- Catholic – 35%
- Protestant – 32%
- Baptist – 6%
- Congregationalist/United Church of Christ – 6%
- Episcopalian/Anglican – 4%

A survey suggests that people in New Hampshire and Vermont[24] are less likely than other Americans to attend weekly services and only 54% say that they are "absolutely certain there is a God" compared to 71% in the rest of the nation.[25][26] New Hampshire and Vermont are also at the lowest levels among states in religious commitment. About 23% percent of the respondents attend religious service at least once a week (39% nationally). Thirty-six percent said religion is very important to them (56% nationally).[27] According to the ARDA the largest single Protestant denominations are the United Church of Christ with 34,299; and the United Methodist Church with 18,927 members. The Catholic Church had 431,259 members.[28]
Economy Edit
The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that New Hampshire's total state product in 2008 was $60 billion, ranking 40th in the United States.[29] Median household income in 2008 was $49,467, seventh highest in the country. Its agricultural outputs are dairy products, nursery stock, cattle, apples and eggs. Its industrial outputs are machinery, electric equipment, rubber and plastic products and tourism.[30]
New Hampshire experienced a significant shift in its economic base during the last century. Historically, the base was composed of the traditional New England manufactures of textiles, shoe-making, and small machining shops drawing upon low-wage labor from nearby small farms and from parts of Quebec. Today, these sectors contribute only 2% for textiles, 2% for leather goods, and 9% for machining of the state's total manufacturing dollar value (Source: U.S. Economic Census for 1997, Manufacturing, New Hampshire). They experienced a sharp decline due to obsolete plants and the lure of cheaper wages in the South.
The state's budget in FY2008 was $5.11 billion, including $1.48 billion in federal funds. The issue of taxation is controversial in New Hampshire, which has a property tax (subject to municipal control) but no broad sales tax or income tax. The state does have narrower taxes on meals, lodging, vehicles, business and investment income, and tolls on state roads.
According to the Energy Information Administration, New Hampshire's energy consumption and per capita energy consumption are among the lowest in the country. The Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant, located near Portsmouth, is the largest nuclear reactor in New England and provides about 30 percent of New Hampshire's electricity. Two natural gas-fired plants and some fossil-fuel powered plants, including the coal-fired Merrimack Station plant in Bow, provide most of the rest.
New Hampshire's residential electricity use is low compared with the national average, in part because demand for air conditioning is low during the generally mild summer months and because few households use electricity as their primary energy source for home heating. Over half of New Hampshire households use fuel oil for winter heating. New Hampshire has potential for renewable energies like wind power, hydroelectricity, and wood fuel.[31]
The state has no general sales tax and no personal state income tax (the state does tax, at a 5 percent rate, income from dividends and interest) and the legislature has exercised fiscal restraint. Efforts to diversify the state's general economy have been ongoing.
Additionally, New Hampshire's lack of a broad-based tax system (aside from the controversial state-wide property tax) has resulted in the state's local communities having some of the nation's highest property taxes. Overall, New Hampshire remains ranked 49th among states in combined average state and local tax burden.[32]
As of February 2010, the state's unemployment rate was 7.1%.[33] By October 2010, the unemployment rate dropped to 5.4.%[34]
Law and government Edit
The Governor of New Hampshire is John Lynch (Democrat). New Hampshire's two U.S. senators are Jeanne Shaheen (Democrat) and Kelly Ayotte (Republican). New Hampshire's two U.S. representatives are Frank Guinta (Republican) and Charlie Bass (Republican).
New Hampshire is an alcoholic beverage control state, and through the State Liquor Commission it takes in $100 million from the sale and distribution of liquor.[35]
The state has offered civil unions since 1 January 2008, and, on 1 January 2010, same-sex marriage became legal.
Governing documents Edit
The New Hampshire State Constitution of 1783 is the supreme law of the state, followed by the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated and the New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules. These are roughly analogous to the federal United States Constitution, United States Code and Code of Federal Regulations respectively.
Branches of government Edit
New Hampshire has a bifurcated executive branch, consisting of the governor and a five-member executive council which votes on state contracts worth more than $5,000 and "advises and consents" to the governor's nominations to major state positions such as department heads and all judgeships and pardon requests. New Hampshire does not have a lieutenant governor; the Senate president serves as "acting governor" whenever the governor is unable to perform the duties.
The legislature is called the General Court. It consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate. There are 400 representatives, making it one of the largest elected bodies in the English-speaking world,[36] and 24 senators. Most are effectively volunteers, nearly half of which are retirees. (For details, see the article on Government of New Hampshire.)
The state's sole appellate court is the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The Superior Court is the court of general jurisdiction and the only court which provides for jury trials in civil or criminal cases. The other state courts are the Probate Court, District Court, and the Family Division.
Local government Edit
New Hampshire is a "Dillon Rule" state, meaning that the state retains all powers not specifically granted to municipalities. Even so, the legislature strongly favors local control, particularly with regard to land use regulations. New Hampshire municipalities are classified as towns or cities, which differ primarily by the form of government. Most towns generally operate on the town meeting form of government, where the registered voters in the town act as the town legislature, and a board of selectmen acts as the executive of the town. Larger towns and the state's thirteen cities operate either on a council-manager or council-mayor form of government. There is no difference, from the point of view of the state government, between towns and cities besides the form of government. All state-level statutes treat all municipalities identically.
New Hampshire has a small number of unincorporated areas that are titled as gores, grants, locations, purchases, or townships. These locations have limited to no self-government, and services are generally provided for them by neighboring towns or the county or state where needed. As of the 2000 census, there were 25 of these left in New Hampshire, accounting for a total population of 175 people (as of 2000); several were entirely depopulated. All of these unincorporated areas, except two, are located in Coos County.
Politics Edit
The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are the only official parties. A plurality of voters are registered as undeclared, and can choose either ballot in the primary, and then regain their undeclared status after voting.[37] The Libertarian Party had official party status from 1990 to 1994.
New Hampshire primary Edit
New Hampshire is internationally famous for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the quadrennial American presidential election cycle. State law requires that the Secretary of State schedule this election at least one week before any "similar event." However, the Iowa caucus has preceded the New Hampshire primary. This primary, as the nation's first contest that uses the same procedure as the general election, draws more attention than those in other states, and has often been decisive in shaping the national contest.
State law permits a town with fewer than 100 residents to open its polls at midnight, and close when all registered citizens have cast their ballots. As such, the communities of Dixville Notch in Coos County and Hart's Location in Carroll County, among others, have chosen to implement these provisions. Dixville Notch and Hart's Location are traditionally the first places in both New Hampshire and the U.S. to vote in presidential primaries and elections.
Nominations for all other partisan offices are decided in a separate primary election. In Presidential election cycles, this is the second primary election held in New Hampshire.
Saint Anselm College in Goffstown has become a popular campaign spot for politicians as well as several national presidential debates because of its proximity to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.[38][39][40]
Election results Edit
In the past, New Hampshire has often voted Republican. Between 1856 and 1988, New Hampshire cast its electoral votes for the Democratic presidential ticket six times: Woodrow Wilson (twice), Franklin D. Roosevelt (three times), and Lyndon B. Johnson (once).
Beginning in 1992, New Hampshire became a swing state in both national and local elections. The state supported Democrats Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, John Kerry in 2004, and Barack Obama in 2008. It was the only state to support Republican George W. Bush in the 2000 election, but not in the 2004 election, in which Democrat John Kerry, a senator from neighboring Massachusetts, won the state.
The Democrats dominated elections in New Hampshire as they did nationally in 2006 and 2008. In 2006, Democrats won both Congressional seats (electing Carol Shea-Porter in the 1st district and Paul Hodes in the 2nd district), re-elected Governor John Lynch, and gained a majority on the Executive Council and in both houses of the legislature for the first time since 1911. Democrats had not held both the legislature and the governorship since 1874.[41] Neither U.S. Senate seat was up for a vote in 2006. In 2008, Democrats retained their majorities, governorship, and Congressional seats; and former governor Jeanne Shaheen defeated incumbent Republican John E. Sununu for the U.S. Senate in a rematch of the 2002 contest.
The 2008 elections resulted in women holding a majority, 13 of the 24 seats, in the New Hampshire Senate, a first for any legislative body in the United States.[42]
However, in the 2010 elections, Republicans made a huge comeback in New Hampshire, capturing veto-proof majorities in the state legislature, taking all 5 seats in the Executive Council, electing a new U.S. Senator, Kelly Ayotte, winning both U.S. House seats, and nearly defeating the sitting governor, John Lynch.
Free State Project Edit
The Free State Project is a proposal to have 20,000 individuals move to New Hampshire, with the intent of reducing the size and scope of government at the local, state, and federal levels. The Free State Project holds the annual New Hampshire Liberty Forum[43] and the annual Porcupine Freedom Festival, also known as PorcFest.[44]
Transportation Edit
Highways Edit
New Hampshire has a well-maintained, well-signed network of Interstate highways, U.S. highways, and state highways. State highway markers still depict the Old Man of the Mountain despite that rock formation's demise in 2003. Several route numbers align with the same route numbers in neighboring states. State highway numbering does not indicate the highway's direction. Major routes include:
- Interstate 89 runs northwest from near Concord to Lebanon on the Vermont border.
- Interstate 93 is the main Interstate highway in New Hampshire and runs north from Salem (on the Massachusetts border) to Littleton (on the Vermont border). I-93 connects the more densely populated southern part of the state to the Lakes Region and the White Mountains further to the north.
- Interstate 95 runs north-south briefly along New Hampshire's seacoast to serve the city of Portsmouth, before entering Maine
- U.S. Route 1 runs north-south briefly along New Hampshire's seacoast to the east of and paralleling I-95.
- U.S. Route 2 runs east-west through Coos County from Maine, intersecting Route 16, skirting the White Mountain National Forest passing through Jefferson and into Vermont.
- U.S. Route 3 is the longest numbered route in the state, and the only one to run completely through the state from the Massachusetts border to the Canadian border. It generally parallels Interstate 93. South of Manchester, it takes a more westerly route through Nashua. North of Franconia Notch, U.S. 3 takes a more easterly route, before terminating at the Canadian border.
- U.S. Route 4 terminates at the Portsmouth Traffic Circle and runs east-west across the southern part of the state connecting Durham, Concord, Boscawen and Lebanon.
- New Hampshire Route 16 is a major north-south highway in the eastern part of the state that generally parallels the border with Maine, eventually entering Maine as Maine Route 16. The southernmost portion of NH 16 is a four-lane freeway, co-signed with U.S. Route 4.
- New Hampshire Route 101 is a major east-west highway in the southern part of the state that connects Keene with Manchester and the Seacoast region. East of Manchester, NH 101 is a four-lane, limited access freeway that runs to Hampton Beach and I-95.
Air Edit
New Hampshire has 25 public-use airports, four of which have scheduled commercial passenger service. The busiest airport by number of passengers handled is Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester and Londonderry, which serves the Greater Boston metropolitan area.
Public transportation Edit
Long-distance intercity passenger rail service is provided by Amtrak's Vermonter and Downeaster lines.
As of 2009, Boston-centered MBTA Commuter Rail services reach only as far as northern Massachusetts. The New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority is working to extend "Capital Corridor" service from Lowell, Massachusetts to Nashua, Concord, and Manchester, including Manchester-Boston Regional Airport; and "Coastal Corridor" service from Haverhill, Massachusetts, to Plaistow, New Hampshire.[45][46] Legislation in 2007 created the New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority (NHRTA) with the goal of overseeing the development of commuter rail in the state of New Hampshire. In 2011, Republican lawmakers introduced a bill (HB 218) which would eliminate the NHRTA.[47]
Eleven public transit authorities operate local and regional bus services around the state, and eight private carriers operate express bus services which link with the national intercity bus network.[48] The New Hampshire Department of Transportation operates a statewide ride-sharing match service,[49] in addition to independent ride matching and guaranteed ride home programs.[48]
Tourist railroads include the Conway Scenic Railroad, Hobo-Winnipesaukee Railroad, and the Mount Washington Cog Railway.
Freight railways Edit
Freight railways in New Hampshire include Pan Am Railways, the New England Central Railroad, the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad, and New Hampshire Northcoast Corporation.
Education Edit
High schools Edit
The first high schools in the state were the Boys' High School and the Girls' High School of Portsmouth, established either in 1827 or 1830 depending on the source.[50][51][52]
New Hampshire has more than 80 public high schools, many of which serve more than one town. The largest is Pinkerton Academy in Derry, which is owned by a private non-profit organization and serves as the public high school of a number of neighboring towns. There are at least 30 private high schools in the state.

Culture Edit
In the spring, New Hampshire's many sap houses hold sugaring-off open houses. In summer, New Hampshire is home to many county fairs, the largest being the Hopkinton State Fair, in Contoocook. New Hampshire's lake region is home to many summer camps, especially around Lake Winnipesaukee, and is a popular tourist destination. The Peterborough Players have performed every summer in Peterborough, New Hampshire since 1933. In the fall New Hampshire is host to the New Hampshire Highland Games. New Hampshire has also registered an official tartan with the proper authorities in Scotland, used to make kilts worn by the Lincoln Police Department while its officers serve during the games. The fall foliage peaks in mid October. In the winter, New Hampshire's ski areas and snowmobile trails attract visitors from a wide area.[56] After the lakes freeze over they become dotted with ice fishing ice houses, known locally as bobhouses.
In fiction Edit
- Literature
- Many novels, plays and screenplays have taken place in New Hampshire. The state has played other roles in fiction, including:
- Peterborough is the inspiration for the town of Grover's Corners, in Thornton Wilder's play Our Town.
- The novel Peyton Place was inspired by Gilmanton, New Hampshire.
- John Knowles based the Devon School in A Separate Peace on the Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter.
- The prep school in John Irving's The World According to Garp was also based on the Phillips Exeter Academy. Irving's stepfather was a faculty member at the school, and Irving is an alumnus; New Hampshire settings are common in his works.
- The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving is a 1981 coming of age novel.
- Comics
- Bob Montana, the original artist for Archie Comics, attended Manchester Central High School for a year, and may have based Riverdale High School in part on Central.
- Al Capp, creator of the comic strip Li'l Abner, used to joke that Dogpatch, the setting for the strip, was based on Seabrook, where he would vacation with his wife.[57]
- Film and television
- Dartmouth College is said to be the inspiration for the film Animal House, as one of the scriptwriters, Chris Miller, studied there.
- The character of Josiah Bartlet, President of the United States on the television series The West Wing, was depicted as a two-term New Hampshire governor.

Is there a permanent solution to stop my email address from being bounced?Asked by zifa on February 06, 2017 at 12:54 PM
How come my recipient email still keeps on going to the bounced list? This is very frustrating as I have to make unboounce every now and then in the jotform website.
The email recipient is firstname.lastname@example.com for my Volunteer Columbia form.
Can you please fix this permanently?
We do apologize for any continued troubles you're having with ending up in our bouncelist.
I've checked your email again for you and it's not currently in our bouncelist but, I believe that may be due to you removing it not too long ago.
Unfortunately, as of right now we do not have a way to remove you from our bouncelist permanently because when your email gets rejected or flagged that is sent out to you from us this forces our system to realize that and stop sending them.
There can be a number of reasons why emails might stop being sent and we're still exploring solutions to rectify the situation for many of our users experiencing this issue.
For now though, the best ways to avoid this problem can be found in these guides:
You can also try:
Yes i removed it from the bounced list before i sent you the question.
I've tried the first 2 links that you had provided but the issue is still happening.
I will try the 3rd and hopefully will fix the issue.
Thank you kindly for the update.
Go ahead and try out the third option I suggested otherwise, if the problem continues let us know.

Harrington wants more after winning return
Padraig Harrington believes he is ready to become a regular winner once again after rediscovering his "mental edge" at the Honda Classic.
The Irishman claimed his first PGA Tour win since the 2008 US PGA Championship as he beat Daniel Berger on the second play-off hole on a wild afternoon at PGA National.
Finishing the fourth round on Monday afternoon due to weather problems over the weekend, Harrington was in the final group with Ian Poulter and Patrick Reed and looked out of contention after a bogey on four and a double on six saw him reach the turn in 38.
But a run of four birdies starting on 11, coupled with a collapse from Poulter, saw Harrington move into the lead before a double bogey on 17 slipped him a shot behind clubhouse leader Berger.
A 16-foot putt handed him a birdie on 18 and a place in the play-off before a stunning approach on 17 sealed victory as Berger found the water.

And Harrington, who has jumped from 297 to 82 in the world while earning a place at the Masters, is feeling good about his game again.
"I was pretty keen on my own form at different stages but I wasn't delivering," he told Sky Sports 4. "2012 I played well, I putted very badly, I had the yips.
"It was tough after that but last week I kind of found something in the mental game which is what's been going wrong.
"I stuck with that this week. It worked half the time, sometimes it didn't work but I'm very happy with it."
He added: "When I get in contention I can hit the shots. The problem has been actually when I'm starting the week, middle of the road shots, easy shots, I'm just not hitting them.
"When I've got tough shots I can hit them. Hopefully this isn't an isolated win.
"I really do believe in myself. I think I've found that mental edge that I've been lacking the last number of years.
"Hopefully I'll be able to stick with that going forward and be consistently contending because I know if I am contending I can win."
