Live: UNH vs. UVM, Game 3

Submitted by Monitor UNH sports on March 14, 2010 - 19:23. Rte. 4 / East | Sports

Welcome to the Whittemore Center, where the universities of New Hampshire and Vermont meet with a trip to next weekend's Hockey East semifinals at stake. The Wildcats won Game 1, 7-4, then the Catamounts answered with a 1-0 win last night -- and whoever loses for a second time may well see their season end tonight.

Lines

My all time favorite photojournalist, Henri Cartier-Bresson, often used to talk about the use of geometry in his photographs. Lately, I've been playing around with intersecting lines and geometry in frames. Moving a little to the left or right can dramatically change the way a scene looks to the viewer. I quickly recognized the shapes and lines here and camped out at this spot until someone moved into the scene. I'm not really sure if I accomplished what I set out to achieve here in this frame, but it's a start.

Blogging - It's Time We Masons Got Started

Submitted by Valley of Concord on March 1, 2010 - 08:11. Concord and around | Greater Concord

Welcome all to the first official blog of the Valley of Concord, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Concord, NH. Our intention in this forum is to provide news and offer commentary about events, issues and topics of interest to all Freemasons, but especially to those who have taken the extra steps to acquire their advanced degrees and become Scottish Rite Masons. Our Valley, one of five Scottish Rite divisions statewide, has been around in Concord since 1891, but we're just now getting started in this new-age public medium. It's not an easy first step, but one we know we must take. We are eager to have you join with us on our journey.

Nagging Wives

Submitted by Terri Oberg on February 24, 2010 - 15:24. Pembroke | Life's challenges

I have no doubt we all know at least one relationship with a nagging woman. Look up the word nag and you will find nothing positive in the definitions or descriptions; words like anxiety, complaining, faultfinding, annoying, unrelenting, torment are what you’ll find. Having been in a number of terrible relationships myself, I know the signs of abuse, and nagging is a form of abuse. Women can be just as guilty of abusing their significant others as men. In fact, emotional abuse can have far more damaging effects than physical abuse. Nothing good comes from nagging.

Gold Medal Moments

Submitted by Brian Drummond on February 22, 2010 - 02:05. Rte. 202 / 9 | Just because

After 7 years of living in the USA I've noticed that I don't get so upset when the Americans gobble up all the medals at the Olympics.

I grew up living in an apartment complex located just down the road from a park where the stadium for the 1976 Olympics was built in Montreal.

A curtain falls as others rise: Dublin School Theatre and the Peterborough Players

Submitted by Dave Eisenstadter on February 20, 2010 - 15:21. Greater Concord | The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript

The Dublin School arts building will be undergoing a complete overhaul, which the students and staff are thrilled about. But at the same time, there is a certain sadness with leaving their old space. Jan Haman has been producing plays in the old space since the 1970s, and sat next to me for opening night of "Our Town" last night, the play that is to be the last performed in the old arts building.

Talking to our enemies...

Submitted by Scott Ives on February 16, 2010 - 11:38. Concord and around | Greater Concord

One of the hallmarks of the new administration was to be its enlightened view of diplomacy. Talking to our enemies was to be the new approach,along with working closely with our allies and the United Nations. The results of this enlightened approach have recently begun exploding into the headlines. Iran announces it is a nuclear nation! North Korea restarts its production of enriched uranium! Our Russian allies do not support action against Iran.UN unable to reach consensus on action against Iran!

Welcome To Rally New Hampshire

Submitted by Wil Birch on February 13, 2010 - 12:55. Hillsboro | Monadnock region

Well, that's what the signs at the border should say. That may not be entirely fair though; rally courses tend to be a tad smoother, actually.

What is it with this state and a complete lack of roadbeds under the pavement? It will never cease to amaze me how little substance there is under the macadam surface; tar on dirt, as far as I can tell. I know it's a cost thing, but I can't help wondering if, given the cost of doing repairs every spring, it might not have been better to spend the money up front to put in good, deep road beds. It costs more up front, but just the savings in bent rims would be worth it.

With some of the frost heaves in my area creating a delta in the road surface of over six inches, the time has definitely come to park the car for the rest of the winter and just use the Jeep. It's a tough decision, since the car gets around 50% better fuel economy, and with a commute just over 54 miles each way, that makes a noticable difference in my weekly fuel budget; I have this particular car for exactly this reason, commuting; it's economical, reasonably (read as; low) powered and intended to get me safely to and from work every day. The Jeep? Not so much. Really it's a toy, but with sidewalls roughly three times taller, it's far better suited to the rally course I drive to work. My comments earlier about building myself a rally car for winter driving were simply fun, but maybe I should think seriously about it. Taller sidewalls with a tougher suspension would be entirely appropriate. Besides, it would give me an excuse to get/build another car; I like that idea. I suspect my wife might not share my enthusiasm though.

So, what are your experiences with the roads here in New Hampshire during frost heave season?

Live Free and Drive

by Sam Bonacci

Exploring the New Hampshire automotive landscape since 1990, I'm taking it upon myself to delve deeper. I'll explore what makes people love, hate, celebrate, and bond with their vehicles. America has a deep attachment to their vehicles and every aspect of this, including off-roading, racing, hypermiling, and restoring, is of interested to me. The blog will explore the varied array of characters and cultures in the area while bringing to light national and international issues.

I never said I was a role model or "I was practicing car control officer."

Submitted by Sam Bonacci on February 11, 2010 - 00:46. Greater Concord | The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript

So if you haven't figured it out by now I'm not an environmentally conscious car driving, slow lane staying, calm and controlled driving role model. If I had my way every car would be putting out as much power as the chassis can handle and every driver would know how to drive their car at the limit safely. But I don't get my way as often as I like (do any of us?) and I takes what I can gets.

Meat-Free Mania

I've grown up in the southern New Hampshire area as vegetarian for most of my life. I would like to include recipes, local restaurants and cafes that cater to vegetarians.

A successful gluten-free veggie dinner

Submitted by Jennifer De Paul on February 9, 2010 - 18:07. Greater Concord | The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript

Last week I found myself flipping through my new International Vegetarian Cookbook that I got for Christmas. I was looking for a tasty dish I could make for a friend who can’t eat gluten. I have no problem finding and making vegetarian dishes. I usually make some Italian style meal which includes bread and pasta. However, I’ve never attempted a gluten-free vegetarian meal. This was going to be a good challenge.
