News writing is a excellent way for new writers to split into the publishing globe, and get important knowledge. Simple to compose, the intention of a newspaper report is to teach the reader by answering the important who, what, where by, when, why and how thoughts of the story.
Prepared like an inverted pyramid, with the most important info offered to start with, and least essential facts following in successive order down the pyramid, or report physique. Start off with a powerful opening paragraph (or else regarded as the direct), that grabs the reader's consideration, and sets the tone for the rest of the piece.
Solution the most important thoughts to start with, adopted by a lot more generic filler material, and ending with the least essential info. It is not unusual for an editor to slash the last couple paragraphs from a story when space is restricted, so make certain no crucial info or quotations show up around the conclusion of the story.
The Necessities of Excellent New Creating:
Successful new writers are good at three issues: writing crystal clear, concise and exact text speedily. Editors desire it. Deadlines are the tightest at every day publications, but weeklies way too run at breakneck velocity. Reporters are normally demanded to cover a municipal assembly at seven pm , and then go back again to the business office afterward to meet up with an eleven or twelve o'clock deadline. The capacity to discern what's important, and gather adequate facts and quotations to compose an fascinating and enlightening report in just a couple hrs is an complete need for the career. Precision is even a lot more essential. Unintentionally misquoting a person through a heated argument, or writing down the wrong tax figures will mark you as an amateur who can't be trustworthy and may possibly very likely get you fired!
The last point most editors desire is brevity. Area is a luxurious at most newspapers, so acquiring the capacity to give the reader an fascinating and total story in as couple text as probable is a requirement. Never be flowery with your prose, and never wander or stumble in your writing. Retain it limited and to the stage. Use adjectives flippantly. Study to compose speedily, concisely and properly, and you just could locate you have a budding profession in news writing.
Attributes, on the other hand, give the author the opportunity to just take the time and space to definitely dig into a matter and acquire the story in a way straight news writing will not make it possible for. Typically a lot longer, ranging from one,000 to five,000 text, compared to the shorter 500 to one,500 term news account, the aspect is an outstanding way to unfold your wings as a author and try out a new design. Most news writers get the opportunity to get the job done on attributes when in awhile, so be organized to expand your horizons when the correct story arrives along that warrants a lot more thought, research and in general coverage.
Locating Perform As A Newspaper Reporter:
Locating get the job done as a news author is not challenging, if you happen to be keen to start out smaller and developed your qualifications on the neighborhood stage. Most communities, no make a difference how smaller, usually have at least just one weekly and just one every day newspaper covering the area's news. Weeklies are normally limited-staffed, and are eager to give new writers a chance to try out their hand at "stringing," or covering neighborhood meetings/events on a story-by-story foundation. Pay out is relatively minimal for these publication's, (normally significantly less than $35 per story), but they are a excellent place to study the ropes and gather clips.
At the time you've got mastered the news writing pace and design, you may possibly want to try out your hand at a greater, every day publication. The pay back listed here is a lot better — (normally ranging from $25 to $100 per report for stringers, dependent on the article's website page placement and length. Excellent is the essential at these publication's while, so be certain you happen to be prepared ahead of creating the plunge into every day news writing.
The two every day and weekly newspapers also offer some fulltime staff members positions, but as circulations and gains continue on to decrease in the print media nationwide, it is starting to be a lot more and a lot more challenging for writers with small or no on-the-career knowledge to land just one of these prized positions. However, news writing continues to be a feasible way to increase the freelancer's revenue and gives the having difficulties author a good opportunity to locate typical assignments, and create their knowledge by currently being ready to get the job done on a lot of distinct kinds of tasks and tales.

Guide to Garden Design
Any type of place you live in can become a beautiful garden in many ways. Even the most concrete place can become alive with living plants and grass if you so desire to transform it.
If you are living in a concrete environment and would want to have something to enjoy outdoors, then you should start considering replacing those cement slabs, digging them up and replacing them with soil for a green garden.
We should consider our fragile ecosystem. The survival of insects, flowers, and other wildlife depends on having their natural habitat. If you make a lush garden, most of these living things will have a chance to survive, and create an environment that you can enjoy.
Garden designs are not only for large and wide spaces; even with a small space, and you can create a beautiful garden design. You simply need pots of different sizes if there is no earth to dig in your place. You should fill them with rich, healthy soil, and plant flower, small shrubs, and even vegetables. You don't really need big pots to have a beautiful colorful garden.
If you have a lawn that you want to bring back to life, you should consider a reticulation system. The grass turning yellow and dying is a sign of little rainfall or water. However, it may bounce back on the next rainy season comes, but that is not why you have a lawn for.
If you want to enjoy your lawn the whole year round, you need to tend to it. A system should be put in place that delivers the right amount of moisture to support your shrubs, flower borders, and others. This is a worthwhile investment especially if you cannot water it manually every time. You should not overwater your grass when there is natural rain.
You also need to aerate your lawn. You can use inexpensive aerator equipment so that holes can be driven into the turf. Water and nutrients can be driven deeper down than the top grass level with an inexpensive aerator equipment.
You should let your imagination go wild if you are designing the garden that you still don't have. The way to make shapes is by using curves and angles. What you can bring into the mix are different kinds of colors, textures, and sizes. There are different uses for your garden. You can use your garden to fresh relax, by sitting and enjoying the fresh air. You can entertain and dine out there. Pets and children can make you lawn into a playground. You can also grow plants or vegetables around. You can do whatever you want in your outdoors.
Since grass roots are not deep, this means that you can grow a lawn anywhere. Lawns can be placed in place before that you have never thought of. Today green roofs are becoming popular. You roof can look beautiful.

How John Carter Was Doomed by Its First Trailer
Vulture has learned that it was in fact John Carter director Andrew Stanton — powerful enough from his Pixar hits that he could demand creative control over trailers — who commandeered the early campaign, overriding the Disney marketing execs who begged him to go in a different direction. "This is one of the worst marketing campaigns in the history of movies," a former studio marketing chief told Vulture before the film opened. "It's almost as if they went out of their way to not make us care."
I have to say, I was optimistic for a long time about Carter, but that was inarguably a horrendous marketing effort. But it's not like the film itself wasn't somewhat unfocussed and bland. A damn shame too; as it plunges into the abyss, it probably takes with it any hope of a space opera revival in the cinema. That said, I actually thought that the teaser trailer was the highlight of the marketing campaign.

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. -- Healing through art is the goal of a nation-wide initiative called Creative Forces.
On Saturday, art professionals and military representatives attended a conference in Jacksonville to talk about the benefits of art therapy for veterans and active duty personnel.
In partnership with the Defense Department, Veteran's Affairs and other art agencies, the National Endowment for the Arts started the initiative.
They have since placed art therapy resources at 11 military medical facilities across the country including Camp Lejeune.
"That whole process of creativity helps them to make tangible some of the experiences they've gone through and it brings it out and gives them back the control of their lives," said Jane Chu, Chair of the National Endowment of the Arts.
The National Endowment for the Arts hopes to expand the Creative Forces initiative to other sites, to continue promoting wellness through art.

#TBT: Watch What Happens Live's First Episode!
Andy's chat fest began five years ago today—with a booty call from SJP.
Every Thursday, celebrate #TBT with us as we open the vault to share photos of Bravolebrities before they were famous--or revisit memorable moments from our shows. This week, in honor WWHL's five-year anniversary, we're stepping back in time to the premiere episode!
After five years filled with Plead the Fifths, Shotskis, and engaging interviews with some of the world's biggest stars (Oprah! Cher! Vicki Gunvalson!), Andy Cohen has cemented his stamp on late night television history. And his must-see show (which started as an online-only event) made its mark on TV July 16, 2009 at midnight. His first guest? Former RHONJ lightening rod Danielle Staub, who tackled Andy's lingering questions from the recent reunion.
But, in true Andy fashion, his inaugural Midnight Booty Call from gal pal Sarah Jessica Parker definitely stole the show.

I Came To Stay, P. F. Hurst, 1969, by Ron Hurst
(Editor's Note: Ron Hurst is the elder son of Peter Hurst, whose memoir appears on this website. Ron offers the following essay as commentary on his father's views)
March 2010
Today I had a wonderful experience. A neighbor, who had just finished my father's memoir, I Came To Stay, returned it to me and we had a delightful discussion of its meaning and impact.
"Every kid in America should read your dad's book. I'm tellin ja, he hit the nail on the head with that statement about from womb to tomb", my neighbor said.
Here is the statement he was referring to:
"It is with growing concern that I watch a trend among the younger generation to forget the pioneering spirit that built the greatness of this country, and to look instead for security, pensions, and other so-called benefits to take care of every human life from womb to tomb."
Since a retired ex-employee of my dad's published the memoir on the Internet I have thought a lot about what it would mean to readers today. If dad were alive today, how would he reflect on the world as it presents itself with the financial crises of 2008, the Iraq war(s), Afghanistan, the first African-American President of the USA (who is also a Democrat), and the global population explosion (3 billion in 1960 / 6.7 billion in 2008)?
I am sure he would have applauded the Reagan years and the resultant liberalization of the banking system as well as today's unprecedented low personal income taxes. I am also sure that the shock of the 2008 financial crises and excesses it brought to light would have galled him. I am also quite sure that dad would have been very critical of the horrendous federal budget deficits and foreign trade deficits and fearful of the consequences of an exploding global population. Being a fugitive from Nazi Germany, dad would have certainly had a unique perspective on war and the U.S. as a global Super Power. What I am not sure of is how he would view the current domestic political climate, and the social problems which have come out of a 15-year-long enterprise restructuring (out-sourcing) commensurate with the liberalization of government regulation begun in the 1990s, as well as the tripling of the global population since he passed away in 1969.
In regard to dad's view of youth I ask myself, haven't young people, or just people in general, always been more likely to live within their comfort zone rather than stick their necks out and take big risks? Was the trend my dad spoke of really a new "sign of his time"? I am more inclined to think that people all over the world are very similar, and that they have always had the same basic needs and goals. People's basic needs are to have a secure, safe environment with enough food, water and shelter to survive; they want to be given equal opportunity to provide themselves with those basics; they want a system which establishes the framework for them to succeed; and, they want a better life for their children than they had been given.
The latter means that there must be an existent strategy or mechanism for "life style improvement" in order for our children to be able to have a better life. And, in a free democratic society, elected representatives are behooved to deliver political solutions which offer certain guarantees that these needs and goals may be attained. That is why we have social security, minimum wages, cost of living indexing, Medicare, Medicaid, tax free savings options, and all kinds of government-sponsored and run social services. And no one is willing to give up these services and benefits regardless of political persuasion and social need. Does Bill Gates or Warren Buffett need Social Security benefits, Medicare or Medicaid? It is important to remember that the huge federal deficit which resulted from the second world war was in part reduced by high taxation, something no one sees as a necessary solution today to reduce the unprecedented deficit we have. And, any effort to expand government sponsored and/or run social services, such as a much needed universal health care plan, are deemed too expensive and require an increase in taxation. Lastly, the fact that the middle class which supported my dad's entrepreneurship has all but disappeared, leaving a small percent of super wealthy and a huge percent of working poor, has meant that those basic needs and goals are not attainable for most members of society. Therefore, it does not surprise me that the population at large is unhappy with government: the wealthy because they do not want higher taxation and the rest because their lives are neither what they need nor want.
We still have, and I believe always will have, the risk takers, like Bill Gates, Steven Jobs, Larry Ellis, Scott McNealey, and the Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, to name just the obvious ones. And, opportunities are still abundant for those who have the means (education, skills and genius) to recognize them and act on them. Of course we must not exclude luck from the success equation. Dad often mentioned the role luck had played in his good fortune.
I see no trend among the youth today, or of my own generation, that says we are becoming a society of comfortable, lazy, and entitled people. Society is made up of people who are today basically the same as they always were. I would, on this point, disagree with my father. I also think it important to point out that the risks my father took were forced on him by the circumstances in Nazi Germany. It was a matter of survival for him which, nonetheless, took lots of courage, cunning, genius and luck.
Societies are the same today as they always have been in my opinion. And they are governed as they always have been; some by despots, some by dictators, benevolent or otherwise, some by democratically elected representatives. Nevertheless, all governments basically do the same thing; try to keep the masses happy, and eliminate social unrest while serving the property owners and wealthy better. After all, the property owners and wealthy are the ones who wrote the constitutions, who run for office and get elected, or are the perpetrators of a putsch. That is a universal fact.... in my opinion. Cuba may be the exception to the rule.
There is one undeniable fact that we should not lose sight of; that all societies have relied on some form of slavery at one time or another in their history. The Romans had them, the Greeks had them, Egyptians had them, modern Europeans had them, and God knows Americans had them ....and Americans did not JUST have African slaves! There were Chinese, Irish, Italian, Polish, Scandinavian, child and female slaves as well. Today outsourcing is the way to cheap labor. We also have the migrating masses from the less developed world to the developed world who are easily exploited. Just as in the past, our economic and political systems demand that business take advantage of cheap and abundant labor wherever it may be.
I believe a fairly regulated (policed) social and economic system is necessary for social stability (peace and security) in this overpopulated and exploding world. If dad were alive today I believe we would agree on this. I also believe he would worry, as I do, that the existent inability of government to do what their constituencies require will lead to a world where my children (his grandchildren) and my grandchildren are very likely to not experience the affluence and luxury we have enjoyed. I worry that my generation has failed them miserably!!!!!

Description of problem:
I've upgraded from rpm-3.0.4 to rpm-4.0.2 by loading all required packages
(popt, db3, rpm, phyton); when trying to rebuild the databese (--
rebuilddb) rpm starts, but after a while it coredumps with Segmentation
same happens, when trying "rpm -qa"; rpm starts listing the installed
packages, but then coredumps (always with the same package: ghostscript-
hpijs; but, this package CAN be displayed properly with a single query
(rpm -qi ghostscript-hpijs).
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm --rebuilddb --> core dump
2. rpm -qa --> core dump
Additional info:
however, the "coredump" seems to be focussed on "some" installed packages,
which are:
ghostscript, ghostscript-hpijs, ghostscript-fonts
I've downloaded them from "hp linux inkjet driver project",
I can't remove or update them, and unfortunately I can't upgrade my rpm
some examples:

I have a fix for the problem, will get new packages on ftp.rpm.org
in the next day or so ...
The changes necessary are checked into CVS, gonna take a couple days to get
6.x packages built. Meanwhile, you can build from CVS by doing
cvs -d :pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvs/devel login

cvs -d :pserver:email@example.com:/cvs/devel get rpm
cd rpm
cvs up -r rpm-4_0
make install
and then do

From its five founding members, TCNA – Mexico's membership has grown to 36 companies supporting Tile Council projects in Mexico. This total includes 11 tile manufacturers (representing 98% of the tile manufactured in Mexico), 11 associate installation materials members, and 14 associate raw material supplier members.
The following are some of the recent developments with which TCNA – Mexico has been involved to benefit the North American tile industry:
Government Relations
TCNA – Mexico continues to participate in a government program to monitor tile imports by assisting in the revision of a government database used to identify and report misclassified tile, sub-valuation (when the price is less than 50% of the HS code average), tile falsely labeled as porcelain, and other illegal trade practices.
In 2012 TCNA – Mexico is also working with the Federal Consumer Agency (PROFECO) to prevent consumer fraud by identifying and reporting tile falsely labeled as porcelain being sold at retail stores or through distributors.
Installer Training & Certification
TCNA – Mexico now operates three installer training centers: one in Monterrey and the other two in the Mexico City area (in Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl and in Alvaro Obregon). Construction of a fourth training center in Guadalajara will begin later this year.
Additionally, the installer certification program that was launched in Oct. 2010 continues to grow with the added support of TCNA – Mexico associate installation materials members.
TCNA – Mexico hired Oscar Urbina Almanza as training manager to promote the certification program and supervise training classes at each location. Mr. Almanza is also in charge of evaluating installers taking certification exams.
Tile Installation Video
TCNA – Mexico developed a tile installation video that demonstrates all steps necessary for a successful tile installation in Mexico. This video will be launched soon in the TCNA – Mexico section of Tile Council's website.
Promotional Efforts/Tradeshows

NFL NEWS: Tampa Bay Bucs
The Bucs have not had the best of luck when drafting first rounders, but here are their top five best selections.
The criteria is based on how they've excelled in their time with the team enough to say, "they've made their name here."
Doug Williams
I had a hard time deciding between him and Josh Freeman since Freeman's done more stat-wise in his four years with the team than Williams has in his five, but ultimately the greatest measure of a quarterback's success is his wins and losses. Freeman's record with the team is 24-35 and Williams is 33-33. Williams has ultimately the edge here taking the Bucs to their first NFC Championship game albeit in a losing effort.
Williams has 12,648 passing yards completing 47.4 percent of his passes and throwing for 73 touchdowns and interceptions. Williams left the Bucs following the 1982 season and served a two-year stint in the USFL before completing his career with the Washington Redskins, where he would ultimately win Super Bowl XXII.
Williams would return as part of Bucs staff during the Jon Gruden/Bruce Allen era in 2004 before leaving again in 2010. Perhaps someday, the Glazers will honor his contributions with a spot on the Buccaneers Ring of Honor despite already being inducted in the Tampa Stadium Krewe of Honor in 1992 prior to Tampa Stadium's demolition.
Paul Gruber
The Bucs were fortunate enough to have an offensive lineman last as long as Gruber did, particularly since he spent the better part of his 12-year career on the losing side of the franchise.
Gruber only missed nine games in his career and has seen the worst of the Ray Perkins days through the near immaculate success of Tony Dungy and the franchise return to the NFC Championship game.
Gruber appeared in 183 games and started in 135. He was inducted in the Buccaneers Ring of Honor in 2012.
Warren Sapp
One of Tony Dungy's three signature franchise picks along with Derrick Brooks and John Lynch to lead what ultimately became the Tampa 2 defense, Sapp forever redefined the defensive tackle position as well as the scheme itself.
The Tampa 2 utilizes speed over size to pressure the quarterback and disrupt any activity in the backfield. Sapp's 77 career sacks with the team during his nine-year stint with the team is second only to Lee Roy Selmon.
Sapp was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 2013 and to the Buccaneer's Ring of Honor in 2013. At his most dominant, Sapp had over 10 sacks in three out of four years from 1997-2000 with a combined 46.5 sacks during the stretch. The seven-time Pro Bowler only missed three games during his time with the team.
Sapp left team in 2004 and finished career with the Oakland Raiders, the team he helped defeat in Super Bowl XXXVII, retiring in 2007.
Lee Roy Selmon
As the first pick in franchise history, Selmon almost single-handedly defined what Buccaneer football was to be, a defensive juggernaut. Selmon owns the franchise record for career sacks with 78.5. In his nine years with the team, he went to the Pro Bowl for six straight years.
He became the first Tampa Bay Buccaneer to be inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1995, also becoming the among first inducted in the Tampa Stadium Krewe of Honor (with John McKay and Ricky Bell) and the very first inductee of the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor in 2009.
Selmon's play was intricate in keeping the momentum in the Bucs favor during their divisional round matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles resulting in the Bucs' first playoff victory in franchise history in 1980.
Derrick Brooks
Brooks has perhaps the most complete career of any Buccaneer in history. A 11-time Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl Champion, first-ballot inductee of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (2014) and a member of the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor(2014), Brooks also holds the all-time franchise career holder in tackles with 1,715.
Picked in the same first round as Sapp in the 1995 draft, Brooks would dominate the position with a combined 100 tackles or more in 12 of his 14 seasons in the league. During the Super Bowl year in 2002, Brooks had a career-high five interceptions for an NFL record (for a linebacker) 218 yards for three touchdowns. In the two biggest games in franchise history, Brooks provided definitive key interceptions that helped seal the games against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game and the Raiders in the Super Bowl.
Brooks is one of six players in NFL history to make the Pro Bowl, be named Defensive Player of the Year and win a Super Bowl/NFL championship.

Real Living Inc. is a Columbus Ohio company.
Real Living's "expansion unit" (Real Living Network Services) was bought by a company called Brookfield Residential Property Services. Real Living just became five times larger… "expansion unit" comes from the title of a Columbus Business First article.
We (Real Living HER agents) got an email (with the press release) last night and a voice mail.
I work for Real Living HER. That is the company formerly known as HER Realtors. HER Realtors has been a leader in Central Ohio real estate for decades. Real Living HER is the number one real estate company in Central Ohio.
Real Living formed in 2002 is based in Columbus. The "expansion unit" part of Real Living is Real Living Network Services.
Matt Burns of Columbus Business First wrote about changes in Brookfield buys Real Living expansion unit
"The name of Central Ohio's largest residential real estate brokerage will appear in nearly every state after its Columbus parent sold the division that powered its national expansion."
Brookfield owns GMAC real estate, has for about 9 months… GMAC real estate franchises across the US are the offices that will now have the Real Living name, logo, technology etc.
The Columbus Business First article says: "All of GMAC's more than 600 offices will take the Real Living name."
Who's who….
Harley Rouda Jr. is the president of the new merged company…
Real Living HER = Columbus
Real Living Realty Services – Dayton, Cinci, Louisville (I get this franchise confused with Real Living Network Services, the "expansion unit" of Real Living. )
There are Real Living franchises currently in 20 states, there will soon be the red and white signs in 46 states from what I am reading and hearing.
Brookfield Residential Property Services is a division of Brookfield Asset Management Inc.
The Columbus Dispatch article this morning: Real Living joins GMAC realty unit in merger written by Jim Weiker says:
"The deal, consummated this month and announced today, merges Real Living's 2,000 agents in 130 offices with approximately 8,000 GMAC Real Estate agents in 470 U.S. offices. It creates a company with $20 billion in annual real-estate transactions. About 8,000 of GMAC's 13,000 agents in the United States and Canada are expected to become part of Real Living."
What's the effect for buyers and sellers in Central Ohio? Not much, you've already got the good stuff available.

Present: Mary Anne Broshek, Jerry Hersey, Tina Cotton, Jesse Schust, Alan McIntyre
NHDES letter approving Wetlands Complete Forestry Notification for logging to be done by Granite Forestry Trust- 23-611-532. Mary Anne has written to the Trust to see if they might be interested in a conservation easement.
NHDES Wetlands permit approval for Proctor pond dredging project.
Eversource Powerline Pole Replacement Project
Eversource representatives (Lydia Morton, Matthew Cardin and Catalina Celentano) attended the meeting to share details of their upcoming 'Line M127 Structure Replacement' which aims to replace 23 wooden power transmission poles with metal structures which are less vulnerable to damage. These poles are located between Kearsarge Mountain Road and Bradley Lake Road. This project was commenced due to a damaged pole near Bradley Lake Road and access will be best achieved from Kearsarge Mountain Road. The access road will be constructed with temporary mats and bridges to protect wetlands and areas vulnerable to erosion. During construction Normandeau Associates will do weekly checks to confirm that Eversource is complying with environmental requirements. There will be truck traffic and drilling, but no blasting. Eversource is hoping to use Dawes Road (unmaintained Class 6) off Bridge Road and the CC agreed that this would be a suitable route. It was noted that Dawes road is classified as a scenic road. Eversource will leave this road in as good or better condition than current. Civil construction work will start in August and line work will commence October/November with restoration to follow. All nearby property owners will be mailed notifications of the work and contact details for further enquiries. Eversource will also conduct door to door notification. This work will not require power outages.
Jesse and Alan will look at the key wetland crossings of the intended access road and identify any issues that might need to be addressed. Jesse will contact the Sunapee Ragged Kearsarge Greenway about putting up signage when part of the trail is closed for a day or two while structures are put into place for the access road. Eversource plans to submit an article to the Beacon informing the local community of the work and strategy. Alan will conduct pre and post visits to the site.
Renewal of Commission Terms
The terms of all Conservation Commission members have been approved by the Selectboard. Jesse, Tina and Alan have been sworn in at the Town Office for CC terms. The other members will do this as soon as they are able.
Bog Pond
We discussed the recent history of the lands surrounding Bog Pond and Earle Chase's recommendations. Mary Anne distributed a vision statement based on those recommendations and changes were made to incorporate the gravel excavation plans. Mary Anne will contact Paul Currier to review the vision statement changes and to develop a unified approach with the Planning Board. We will continue to work with the Town to determine what land can be placed under conservation easements now and to explore options with other landowners. So far, two landowners have been contacted. Jesse and Alan will identify the next group of landowners to be contacted.
Jesse has contacted the state prison regarding the design and purchase of wetlands markers and will report back progress next month.
Alan will submit an article to the Beacon announcing and describing features of the new Conservation Commission website.
Verizon Cell Tower
We do not know who will serve as the Forester at the Verizon site during the clearance of the work site and access route. We will be requesting additional funds for monitoring the 150 foot landscape easement (forest buffer) which has been agreed to with Verizon.
Wetlands Presentation
Jesse will let Marion of Wilmot CC know who to contact at Proctor to arrange use of the Stone Chapel.
Co-occurrence Map
Alan will reach out to Harvey Pine (who is away) to determine how the ACC can access the map of Andover wetlands and how the co-occurrence maps can be updated with the latest information.
Bradley Lake
We discussed the planned logging at Bradley Lake (White/Bendixen). Bradley Lake residents have asked whether this is still planned and indications are that the logging is intended to continue this winter. In July, we were advised by Jay Aube at NHDES that "NHDES staff members performed a site inspection in the spring and determined the erosion control devices were installed and functioning as designed – no evidence of silt or sediment migrating into Bradley Lake was observed. We plan to perform an additional site inspection shortly."
We will follow up with Jay on the later site visit.
Beaver Deceiver Meeting With DOT
Vicky Mishcon advised the ACC that a meeting took place with the Selectboard, John Thompson and Skip Lisle to discuss the benefits of beaver deceivers as a statewide policy. The meeting went well and there will be future meetings beginning with the trails division at DRED.
Other Business
Alan is arranging a bat conservation program for October 11th or 19th. He is also arranging a climate change in NH program on October 4th at 4:30 PM. Both will be held at Proctor, and open to the community.
Alan is working on an article about the Proctor pond dredging, for the Beacon.

Thiele/Small parameters
|The works of Neville Thiele and Richard Small are
considered to have the most impact on the loudspeaker
design field as far as predictability of frequency
responce at small excursions is concerned. A method was
found, so that one could predict the frequency response
performance of a loudspeaker system, based on its
physical characteristics.
Understanding the response parameters allows calculation of predicted frequency response for a given speaker system in a uniform way. The formulas that accomplish this are rather lengthy and complex, and are best left to a computer. There are a number of computer programs and java applets that automate the design process of building an enclosure.
The three parameters that primarily determine the frequency response of a loudspeaker are compliance, free-air resonance, and Q.
The compliance, Vas, is a measure of the overall stiffness of the cone, surround (the part the attaches to front of the cone), and spider (the part that attaches to the rear of the cone). It is specified as the volume of air having the same compliance as the driver. A small number corresponds to a small volume of air, which is stiffer than a larger volume of air. Thus, compliance and stiffness are inversely proportional. Optimum enclosure volume is proportional to Vas.
Free-air resonance, Fs, is the resonant frequency of the driver's voice coil impedance with the driver suspended in free air (no enclosure). The -3 dB frequency (F3) of an enclosure is proportional to Fs.
The Q, Qts, is a measure of the sharpness of the driver's free-air resonance. It is defined as (Fh-Fl)/Fs, where Fh and Fl are the upper and lower -3 dB points of the driver's voice coil impedance in free air. Optimum enclosure volume is related to Qts but is not directly proportional. It is accurate to say that the volume gets larger as Qts gets larger. Likewise, F3 gets smaller as Qts gets larger, and for the sealed box enclosure, F3 is inversely proportional to Qts.
The Physical Characteristics of a speaker are:
Re: The D.C. resistance of the voice coil measured in Ohms.
Sd: The surface area of the speaker's cone.
BL: The magnetic strength of the motor structure.
Mms: The total moving mass of the speaker including the small amount of air in front of and behind the cone.
Cms: The stiffness of the driver's suspension.
Rms: The losses due to the suspension.
By understanding the relationship of these physical parameters and how to change them, we may alter the response parameters to fit the desired goal.
The Thiele/Small Response parameters are:
Re: The D.C. resistance of the voice coil measured in Ohms.
Sd: The surface area of the speaker.
Fs: The resonant frequency of the speaker.
Qes: The electrical "Q" of the speaker.
Qms: The mechanical "Q" of the speaker.
Qts: The total "Q" of the speaker.
Vas: The volume of air having the same acoustic compliance as the speaker's suspension.
|Low end - how much air is displaced
in order to achive good reproduction of bass without excessive IM distorsion in mids and treble and retain capability of huge air displacements, ratio between excursion and effective cone area must be changed. Long throw chasis is not welcomed here, excursion must be as possibly short and cone area big (V=Sd*Xmax).
Note that most wideband drivers tend to have a rising response above about 1kHz (much depends on driver specifics) and that for example the FE208 will reach about 104db in the 2 - 4kHz range. This is a seperate issue to be dealt with. Some notes on that compiled by James from seperate post of myself and others are on the "single driver" webpages.
It is higly instructive to compare the kind of parameters found in Drivers traditionally used in sealed or vented Cabinets (Altec 755, Diatone 610A and similar) with those traditionally used in Horns (Fostex Sigma, Lowther, Pro Audio Drivers explicitly designed for Horns).
Ergo, Drivers with a Qt above 0.5 go into sealed or reflex Boxes, Drivers with a Qt below about 0.3 go into horns. Anything inbetween is not really happy in either...
Many modern Drivers use a very short phaseplug. Lowthers and similar use long Phaseplugs and longer Phaseplugs seem to improve smoothness at the cost of HF Extension. If in doubt get more cigars and use one set as long as you want and reduce the length in 5mm (or so) sections, noting the changes in sound. There will come a point where the sound does no longer improve but get's worse.

This is the Fairview Freewill Baptist Church in Livingston,TN, the brick on the church was in bad condition due to settling of the foundation and lack of brick ties. It was showing major cracks and the church wanted it removed for safety reasons. O.C.E. was awarded the contract to remove all of the brick and install a stucco and vinyl siding system as well as replacing the doors and windows. Please take a look at our photo gallery to see the before and after pictures of most of our completed projects.
This is the Walker residence in the Cornerstone subdivision. The Walkers had an existing stone chimney that was showing some water damage and discoloration under and around the soffit area and also inside the house. After a further inspection, we found that the damage to the plywood substrate behind the stone was fairly significant, as well as some structural members. This unfortunately is a common problem due to improperly installed flashing around the cricket and roof terminations and lack of a kick-out flashing or water diverter at the eaves.
After going over different options with the Walkers, it was decided that all the existing natural stone had to be removed so that the wood sheathing and structural members could be replaced and repaired. This was now the perfect time to remove the metal roofing panels and replace the defective flashing. Then we installed a liquid applied membrane to all exposed wood and sheathing. At this point the chimney is basically waterproof. This is the first step in effectivly waterproofing the chimney. The next step was installing housewrap and then two layers of roofing felt. This is not overkill , this is the right way to prepare a wood substrate for natural or veneer stone. Then we installed the stone veneer and applied a silicone sealer.
You tell us what you want and we can build it!
We can re-surface old concrete, pool decks, patios and walkways to give them a new look. Many color options are available with the sider-deck system.

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

It remains a disappointing experience to read yet another article discussing organic food that fails to relay the most fundamental aspect of this issue. This is common; most do. From the context as a person with a long-standing family background in farming, a degree in health science, working in dietetics in Toronto, but still involved in agriculture, I would like to address that.
The nutritional content of a natural food is dependent on the genetics of the variety of that particular food. Meaning: every variety of carrot, of apple, of tomato, etc., (and chicken, beef, pork, for that matter) has a different innate capacity to use the environment over the span of its growth to create a nutritional "load" or "component profile" within its cells.
Meaning: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins, and other nutritional components. Just as its genetics determines how it will taste, how and when it will deal with disease and pests, how and when it will mature, and how and when it will die.
Man-made animal and plant development through the ages has involved fooling around with all the trait possibilities that are on offer by their genetics. Nutrition has been, most often, the least important trait to focus on. And so we now have a vast amount of food products that have little nutritional content — because the plant or animal cannot fabricate/create nutrition from its environment.
Therefore: a variety of carrot that is capable of creating a very high nutrient load, grown conventionally, offers more nutrition to the consumer; albeit residues as well. A carrot that is not capable of creating a high nutritional load of nutrients but is grown organically, offers less nutrition to the consumer; along with less residue (there is never a zero-residue status because air is polluted and deposits its pollution on all plants — eaten by humans and animals — during the entire growing season).
In short: if nutrition is the issue, whether it is grown organically or not is irrelevant. Relevant is the composition of the soil and the variety of plant or animal used.

The former Reds captain picks his best United XI from the men he played with plus one wild card from the current side...
Peter Schmeichel was a great goalkeeper with great presence - theres not even an argument about picking him.
Gary Neville's got great attitude, hes so committed to United, and is a top player. The fact Denis Irwin took free kicks and penalties in the 93/94 team shows the respect he had.
Gary Pallister may have been bossed about by Brucey, but for sheer talent he was a great centre half. Paul McGrath was outstanding despite his injury problems - he was a real Rolls Royce of a defender.
David Beckham is a great lad and can put the ball wherever he wants to. Ryan Giggs is just different class, no other left winger can even compare to Giggsy.
Roy Keane was just a terrific all-round action player who would always drive the team on. Paul Scholes is a top player with great intelligence and an amazing range of passing and shooting.
Eric Cantona brought tremendous presence and composure on the ball. He was brilliant. Cristiano Ronaldo excites the fans and has to be the best player in the world at the moment.
Substitutes: Id go for Gary Bailey as the keeper, Steve Bruce would be on the bench too Bruceys unlucky not to be starting. Then Id have Mark Hughes and Brian McClair, Choccy was just a great team player, and Andrei Kanchelskis is worth a spot too. Id put myself on there, just in case, and then Norman Whiteside Norm would have had a reputation like Kenny Dalglish if he hadnt had to finish so early.

I love making big quantity dishes so I have leftovers for lunches, and you're right, soups and stews fit the bill perfectly. This stew looks delicious. I don't know what warm weather you're talking about, though. It doesn't feel like summer will ever come sometimes.
May 11, 2011 at 9:10 pm
This stew really sounds delicious. I'm new to your blog and have been poking around. You've created a lovely spot for your readers to visit and I enjoyed the time I spent here. I'll be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
May 11, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Thank you for your kind comment on "Snippets". I love beef stew. Its probably one of my favorite dishes. Soups are a staple around here. I usually make a pot of something (from leftovers) and then we have that for lunch for several days. Or, we stop by Whole Foods…they have some wonderful prepared soups.
May 12, 2011 at 2:16 pm
I love a good beef stew and this looks so wonderful.I like how you added parsnips. I am going to try that!

What is Cup of Love?
Cup of Love Ministries is a street outreach ministry under the direction of Rev. Bill & Stephanie Morrow. (Cup of Love is not directly affiliated with TGC, but we respect and support their efforts!)
The Morrows, lifelong residents of the tri-state and currently residing in Blairsville Indiana, answered the call to feed and clothe God's people as Matthew 25:35-36 tells us all to do, and have been doing so for over three year now.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Matthew 25:35-36 (NIV)
While they feed and clothe the natural man, They also believe God has bigger plans to reach the soul.
Bill & Stephanie along with a team of volunteers, go Fares Avenue / old highway 41 once a month to feed and clothe those that are less fortunate and/or have fallen on hard times. God is bringing people from all over the tri-state that are hearing of this outreach and amazing things are happening as He meets their needs both physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Please see their contact info below if you would like to know more information about their ministry, when the next outreach may be, and how you can get involved.

Rooms – Stay with Us
"The rocking chairs on the long front porch of the Wortley Hotel are like front-row seats on Wild West history."
"5 Fall Getaways"
– New Mexico Magazine, Oct. 2016
Today, having been a historical fixture in Lincoln for over 140 years, the Wortley Hotel offers a comfortable balance of 1880's 'period' guest rooms, historic dining room and bar, custom made beds, traditional furniture, and late 19th century curios throughout.
There's a working fireplace in each room but the only television is natural and gorgeous -- what you see from the porch or out the window. To date, we've had no complaints about substituting broadcast and cable TV with our 360°, 24/7 vistas… hills, mountains, high desert, Rio Bonito (in our backyard), a variety of wildlife and gorgeous sunsets.
At the Wortley, we're proud to be Green! Soaps, cleaners and detergents are all home-produced so the rooms are naturally fresh scented and the sheets are cotton soft. This even includes the homemade Wortley ("W") goat milk soap squares in each room.
You'll be greeted in our yard by the Wortley Welcoming Committee, our free-range hens. They work hard preparing your breakfast, and enjoy what ever love and company you choose to share. Most nights, other members of the Committee, the deer and elk wander up to the hotel around dusk to welcome new guests and re-visit with multi-night lodgers. Be sure to walk down to our working mini-farm to say hi to the resident goats, pig and sheep.
If you have questions or an interest in getting the inside story about Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War, your room is a 1 minute walk from the Old Courthouse, a 5 minute walk from the Tunstall Store, and a 7 minute walk from the Anderson-Freeman Museum.
Tour the town… visit the museums and historic buildings… return for a night cap… enjoy a beautiful western sunset… rest in a rocker on the front porch… and finally, experience the backdrop of your classic western styled room – all in the environment and atmosphere of the definitive Wild West.
- Each of our 5 rooms has a private entrance, bathroom and working wood-burning fireplace
- Four rooms have antique queen beds
- One room with both a full and twin bed with roll-away beds available.
- Full and delicious home cooked breakfast consisting of a fresh berries, farm-fresh eggs, thick country bacon, home fries, a stack of pancakes, a variety of syrups and coffee & tea.
- Room rate (including breakfast) = $110/night (up to double occupancy)

Hennessy Venom gt
"Had it not been for some silly rules, like needing 30 production cars to qualify and needing two back-to-back runs, the Hennessey Venom GT would have taken home the title as the "World's Fastest Production Car" after its 270.49-mph run at Kennedy Space Center. But those rules are in place, and Hennessey couldn't care less, as it is rolling out a special World's Fastest Edition Venom GTs in very limited quantities.
There is very limited information on the World's Fastest Edition, but we do know that it features a red, white and blue livery to match the American flag. We also learned that the model will come in at a price tag of $1.25 million.
According to what I can gather, the Venom GT WFE will carry the same 7.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 as the rest of the Venom GTs. This means that it pumps out 1,244 horsepower, and shoots the hypercar to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and 186 mph in just 13.63 ticks. While the Venom GT only hit 270.49 mph at Kennedy Space Center, Hennessey claims it can hit about 278 mph.
The Venom GT is likely the sickest car to roll out of an American automaker's dealership. Sure, it is a Lotus Exige body and a GM-sourced engine, but the technological advancements and tuning are all the brainchild of John Hennessey and his team of engineers.
The managed to turn up the heat on that GM V-8 to a toasty 1,244 horsepower at 6,600 rpm, which the driver can actually change to 800, 1,000 and 1,244 from the cockpit, and 1,155 pound-feet of cheek tightening torque. This mammoth engine links to a six-cog, Ricardo manual gearbox that delivers the goods to the rear wheels.
This tasty combo nets the Hennessey a 0-to-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds, a 0-to-100 mph time of 5.6 seconds, a 0-to-200 mph time of 14.51 seconds. a quarter-mile time of 9.92 seconds at 163 mph and an estimated top speed of 278 mph.
Needless to say, the Venom GT is completely ridiculous in all the right ways..."

Also known as the Revenue Stabilization Account
The surplus from the 2012-13 budget was mostly used to fund the 2014-15 budget, with $15 million remaining.
The House passed 2014 HB 1411 to spend most of it, but the Senate defeated it.
State Treasurer Cathy Provencher recommends that the rainy day fund be maintained at about 5-10 percent of the unrestricted general fund revenue, ($70-140 million). As of May, 2014 NH has only $9.3 million, or .7 percent of general fund unrestricted revenue.
