Although the scriptwriting of The West Wing has slipped the past two seasons, it still ranks as one of the most engaging shows on TV.
\nThis past season, the show definitely missed the interplay of the core group of original characters - one died, another left, and others assumed new jobs outside of the White House. But it still succeeded by giving a nuanced and intelligent look at presidential campaigns, as two ideologues fought for President Bartlet\'s chair.

\nCongrtulations to you and the news staff for breaking the story on Earl, and for explaining how Google serves as an electronic news source.
\nI do the same thing at the Massachusetts School of Law, where I\'m the marketing and external relations guy. I have plugged in our school name in both Google and LexisNexis, and many times am informed of stories I didn\'t know about.
\nAs for K to 12 education administration and leadership in Nashua, it sure is a mess, isn\'t it? The mayor, the aldermen, the board of education, and the superintendent have all had a hand in this Keystone Cops comedy. But when the irony and laughter subside, the lack of wisdom comes to the fore.
\nI don\'t subscribe to the Telegraph for coverage of international and national news, but I rely on it for coverage of important local issues. You came through magnificently on this one.
\nI do have a recommendation for Earl. Why doesn\'t she split the difference and apply for a superintendent\'s position in a school district in Kentucky. That\'s about halfway between Nashua and Tulsa. She can identify family members there, pick up an Appalachian accent, and stay for less than a year before moving on.

\n1. I thought the \"Cast your vote for Tulsa school chief\" item in \"News Digest\" of Saturday, May 20, trivialized the Julia Earl situation.

\nTwo interesting points.
\n1. I\'m reluctant to quibble too much with your reasoning on the TV poll, given that there seems to be a backhanded compliment in there for us somewhere. Maybe it is somewhat of a \"high-tech Internet facile novelty,\" but it does seem to be pretty harmless, given the small amount of space dedicated to it and where it was played in the paper.
\nHad it been played prominently on Page 1 under a big headline, I would tend to agree with you. Some items in a newspaper are \"newsworthy\" and some are merely \"noteworthy.\" I\'d place this one in the latter category, figuring there may have been some readers upset/intrigued/amused that a Tulsa TV station was conducting such a survey in the first place.

I\'m reluctant to quibble too much with your reasoning on the TV poll, given that there seems to be a backhanded compliment in there for us somewhere. Maybe it is somewhat of a \"high-tech Internet facile novelty,\" but it does seem to be pretty harmless, given the small amount of space dedicated to it and where it was played in the paper.\nHad it been played prominently on Page 1 under a big headline, I would tend to agree with you. Some items in a newspaper are \"newsworthy\" and some are merely \"noteworthy.\" I\'d place this one in the latter category, figuring there may have been some readers upset/intrigued/amused that a Tulsa TV station was conducting such a survey in the first place.\n2.

\nHowever, there is one subject that almost inevitably leads to tension between publisher and editor.
\nWhat happens if and when you and Terry Williams are at opposite poles on a major civic issue that involves the City of Nashua, or the Greater Nashua region?
\nPublishers very often are \"boosterish\" about the city and region they cover. A new stadium, buying the water works, building an arts center, tax assessments, clearing a path for a superhighway to increase commerce.
\nOn the other hand, news editors very often are skeptical about the same issues, and ask hard questions that the boosters would prefer not be asked.
\nPublishers very often meet and greet those who have power and influence in a city/region. But editors don\'t, or should do so cautiously.
\nSo what happens when the irresistable force meets the immovable object?
\nAnd, of course, it\'s not a level playing field. Ultimately, the publisher has the power.

\nWhen I read yesterday\'s Telegraph, I was again reminded of why I am still addicted to the pleasures of reading an acutal newspaper, as opposed to persusing the Web version. Not that there\'s any thing wrong with that, as Jerry Seinfeld would say.
\nThe careful newspaper reader gains added value from the news, in my opinion. He can see how editors choose to give some stories more importance than others. He can happen on a story by chance, and be drawn into it, and learn something new. That\'s much harder to do on the Web.
\nFinally, powerful, insightful, and sometimes ironic connections can be made that provide great insight.
\nSo, yesterday I read Hattie Bernstein\'s important article about how \"a growing number of area residents, many of them elderly or disabled, are having difficulty getting rides to routine medical appointments.\"
\nI hadn\'t really thought about this before, and was once again dismayed at how this richest country in the world let\'s down its most vulnerable citizens by not providing much needed social services.
\nThen I read the editorial about Carmella LaSpada, Chuck Hagel, and the $1.5 million Moment of Remembrance.
\nIn the span of 6 pages, a story and an editorial collided, and the reader, who has been thinking about the story, now encounters an editorial that correctly points out how over a million dollars has been wasted on a foolish folly, courtesy of a U.S. senator.
\nThat brought me back to the moving front-page photo by Don Himsel, of Mary Alice Fullerton coming to the aid of Arthur Burke, who needed a ride to a medical appointment.
\nA $1.5 million boondoggle and a man who depends on the kindness of strangers to see a doctor.

I see it as a chance to show the readers bit of our dichotomy, with the traditional script representing our commitment to old-school journalism, hard-hitting investigative work and community news, and the \"clutter\" as representative of some of the other things folks will find inside -- entertainment, food, sports -- the stuff that make reading the paper a rounded experience. It\'s not all hard news, but hopefully it is also interesting, compelling, useful and fun news. To me, I see, the refers in general are a tip of the hat to the contributions features, sports, etc. make to the paper. And when there is a snazzy nameplate treatment, I personally feel it sort of says, \"Hey, we\'re always proud of our other departments, but we think this is REALLY cool.\" We have fun with our stories when appropriate, and I think that the nameplate treatments reflect that. Plus, I think it is very effective when used every now and then instead of every day. Our front-page designers don\'t force the cutouts or struggle to use nameplate treatments every day. They use what works, what might be a sly wink to readers.
\nIt is definitely interesting to hear another person\'s perspective, but as for me, the back-in-the-day rules don\'t always work the same way they did back in the day, so I think taking chances and stretching ourselves design-wise and content-wise is exciting. Maybe this is a case where we\'ve stretched too far. I don\'t personally think so, but I am glad you brought this up and hope readers chime in.

As the editor guilty of missing \"courser,\" I will chime in here. In my case, it wasn\'t an issue of relying on spell check or not knowing the correct word should have been \"coarser.\" I knew when I saw it later, but admit I didn\'t catch it when I was reading it to put on the page. It sounds like a tired excuse, but sometimes we have to funnel through so much copy on a given day that some things simply slip through the cracks. I\'d like to think for every error that gets through, we\'ve caught at least 10 more. And it\'s a team effort. If the writer makes an error, hopefully the editor catches it. If not, then maybe the copy editor will or at least the next set of eyes proofing the pages before they are sent to film. It\'s my hope that we catch the majority of goofs. The nice thing about working in news is that each day represents a fresh start and a new chance to get it right, whether it\'s because of new or changing information or because someone called to make a correction or because all the copy came in super-early and we had the luxury of having a few extra pairs of eyes. Sometimes we do a bang-up job. Sometimes the copy comes in perfectly clean, and all we need to do is sweep up an errant comma or add an apostrophe. But sometimes the timing or subject or even newsroom staffing situations will dictate how much or how little time we can spend on a given story.

\nI’ve just read your “Web Notes” blog entry of the 12th regarding the polls. I might have a suggestion to alleviate some of the inflated numbers you occasionally see, though not all of them.
\nBut first, a word of confession: Those 18 “votes” recorded from adelphia.net were in all probability mine. I’m a regular, registered non-resident reader of the Telegraph and have been so for some time now. I read every part of the website nearly, including the polls on occasion.

\nProgramming is not my forte` and I’m a bit rusty at web coding, but the remedy I propose is rather simple at least on its face: In posting the polls, you might include an option to “view poll results without voting.” I’ve seen other newspapers use that option in polls and have found it rather convenient, as I am a strong proponent of the “one person, one vote” philosophy.

\nI appreciate your discomfort in discussing your newspaper’s awards. Yes, it must feel a little immodest patting yourself on the back!
\nAnyway, you wondered how readers react to these stories. Here’s the view of one:
\nInvestigative reporting is very important, and it obviously takes a large investment and commitment. But from my perspective, these enterprise pieces are often written more for judges than subscribers, and that this diversion hurts local news.
\nHow? Well, I go to local town meetings on occasion, and I frequently see Telegraph correspondents in the audience. Yet half the time nothing is reported, and just as often it’s five or six days before a brief appears. True, what happened at the meeting may not have been of huge significance to the entire circulation area, but what did happen is the essence of local news. Not glamorous, not award winning, but the nitty gritty of why I buy a local paper.
\nWhen I see one of these multi-page Sunday masterpieces laid out on open pages so they look good mounted for a competition, and when I see a story about newspapers giving each other awards, what comes to my mind is this: I’d rather read 20 briefs about a two-day-old zoning quarrel in Lyndeborough and a school board’s attendance policy in Hudson than 40 inches on 63 Kazakh children with HIV.

Too bad you never got a picture of me at the sink washing my sandal after one of my Chinese bathroom experiences! You could have included it in this wonderful little piece. Great job, Theresa! Now if you ever go to northeast Thailand, try to figure out their bathroom logic. The entire room is tile - walls, floors and ceilings. There\'s running water to the sink and the shower which comes directly out of the wall (no curtain) and a drain in the floor. There is no running water to the \"Squat Box\", but directly beside it is a 2\'x2\'x2\' cistern with (you guessed it) a water faucet so you can keep it full. Beside the cistern is a dipper so you can perform the flush yourself. What needs to disappear determines how many dippersful and from how high a distance to get adequate water pressure.

\nWrongs at the NH VA hospital
\nNH Veterans Council and committee, governor of NH and President of U.S.
\nWritten by Peter Macdonald 465 Packersfalls rd Lee NH 03824 603-659-6217
\n Wrongs! We are talking illegal acts to intentionally harm a 100% disabled Veteran that you NH Rep A Baldasaro and the NH Veteran’s committee are well aware of. Because of a Traumatic Brain injury on active duty I lost my complete memory to this day of any part of my life prior to the Marine Corps. Because of an Admin Error I was sent back to active duty. I did 31 months overseas and received two more life disabling injuries during separate combat support missions. I did eight convoys as an American Advisor to deliver surplus supplies to friendly camps deep in the jungle. My first kill was with a bayonet to get my M-16 back and escape. It is not only wrong but an illegal act for any government official or employee to stop a disabled Veteran’s medical care for political self gain. That is what NH and the VA Director Mark Levenston did to me. This is a formal complaint and statement.
\n Hillary boost on TV adds about helping people with medical care. Eisenberg went to a hospital to ask for help. The system drove him to commit a crime to be recognized and now the system degrades this person that asked for help. The news reporters called my house to ask my wife if this was me in Rochester. I have not violated one law but the NH government is using the system to break me. I am a disabled Veteran. The news censors the truth to embellish the government claim that I am unstable and need to be locked up. NH Congress woman used a VA doctor Biswas to files a commitment order to lock me in the funny house to stop my letter to the editor. Biswas order was with out merit. This NH congress woman filed false police reports to get me arrested. Then the NH VA director of Veterans health care stops my VA medical care for injuries received in the line of duty. These are illegal acts against the peace and dignity of the United States. Imagine going six months with no health care. Imagine being ostracized in a society that you have volunteered every day to help others and now I am considered a leopard. There is no correcting a VA or any government system that uses illegal acts to harm citizens that legally attempt to expose the wrongs in government. I just hope the wrongs are corrected before you allow this to happen to another disabled veteran. The main culprit is news media censorship and biased reporting. This is an official letter sent to NH Rep Al Baldasaro, DAV, VFW, American Legion, NH governor Lynch and many more including the news. How many will have the ethical responsibility to print the truth. Do you realize that the NH State police Dover police and Lee police refuse to allow me to file a complaint. Do you know why I can put my name, address and phone # because the truth is a powerful weapon. Print the Truth and help the U.S. continue. Do you know why suicide looks so inviting to Returning Veterans?

\nI too enjoyed the race immensly and will be back next year. Like you siad the start was a bit of a bottleneck with an uphill to start and the crowds (and the mud) but once it sorted out I never felt crowded on the trail, even when the returning runners were creating traffic in both directions.
Being form this area and hiked on the blue blazed trail of CT alot, I knew the terrain to expect. I admit the amount of water was a bit of surprise but not out of the ordinary.
\nI found myself running in a nice rythym on the way out as I stuck to my plan of a) walking up hills and b) finding a race veteran and staying on his/her backside.
\nAt the turn around point, I decided to wait for my BIL and ended up waiting for about 13 minutes. As a result, I recovered, but cooled off as well, so I fel the effects of the wind picking up on the return trip. I hung with my BIL for mile 8-13 at a much slower pace than the first half as well. For the final 3 miles I kicked at my normal pace and felt like I finished strong. Down the final hill, I foolishly did not even attempt to avoid the mud & water and plowed right on through to the finish.
\nI certainly felt like I had more in the tank (and no blisters or hot spots), which gives me a good boost in getting ready for The Soapstone Mtn Half Marathon & The Nipmuck Trail Marathon in the next few weeks. I also can\'t believe I made it through without taking at least one fall (especially on that one really big ice patch). My final time was 3:37:31, 81st runner in.
\nI was also very impressed with the race orginization. And the aid stations were well attended and stocked. I made sure to thank the volunteers for standing in the chill and making sure we got what we needed.

\nI will admit that I don\'t want to see profanity throughout my newspaper, but when it is being used in a quote or in certain situations, it is fine.
\nUnfortunately, profanity is used regularly in a lot of homes! It is definitely not SHOCKING!
I\'ve always been told that the use of profanity proves a lazy mind. I try not to use it at home and I definitely don\'t want my newspaper using it, regardless if it is a quote or not. To say that there have only been three uses of profanity in the past 23 years is a bit misleading. The real numbers are that it has been used three times in the past 17 months. That averages one use every 5 months or so. Definitely an increase! I wonder if the reporter could have said to the gentleman in this particular story \"Sir, I love your quote, but unfortunately I can\'t use that particular word.

Nick,
\nIn some ways this small question of yours about comics speaks to the larger issue of the recent movement away from pre-digested news (with an editor making the decisions,) which dominated the newspaper and network TV era, to peer news, like blogs and personalized news filters, that are coming to dominate the current era.
\nA couple years ago you asked your readers which comics should stay and which should go. One result was that they strongly said Doonesbury should go. You replied that you were keeping it anyway, and I believe that your reasoning was that you were, after all, \"liberal weenies\" (your words) and you thought some people like yourselves really wanted to keep it, so you were keeping it, regardless of what your readers asked you to do.
\nAsking a newspaper editor not to decide for readers what they should and should not see makes little sense. That\'s why s/he worked all those years to become editor!
\nBut if you are going o do that, I\'d suggest you just make the choice and be straight about it. It\'s not Dad choosing the restaurant that\'s so irritating. It\'s Dad asking where you want to go and then going where he want to go anyway that annoys.

\n-- Doonesbury finished No. 28 of the 33 comics in the poll.
\n-- The only comics that finished lower were \"Tank McNamara,\" \"Boondocks,\" Six Chix,\" \"Marmaduke\" and \"Cathy.\"
\n-- The reason \"Doonesbury\" was kept was NOT because we\'re a bunch of \"liberal weenies,\" but rather because of the strong \"love/hate\" relationship readers have with this comic.
\nAs Marty said in the column:
\n\"The answer to the second question isn\'t that we\'re a bunch of liberal weenies. Really. The actual reason is that \'Doonesbury\' is one of our few \'love-hate\' comics. Unlike most of the comics in the poll, which display a steady progression between \'always read\' and \'never read,\' \'Doonesbury\' had a high number of \'always read\' votes – 110 – as well as a lot of \'never read\' votes – 149. (\'Six Chix,\' for example, had only 67 always and 134 nevers.\"
Now, that said, you make a reasonable point. Ultimately, the editor is always responsble for what runs and what doesn\'t run in the newspaper on any given day.
\nBut that doesn\'t mean we have to make decisions in a total vacuum. Besides, we\'re talking about comic strips here, and I can assure you there is nothing I have learned in this business in the past three decades that makes me any more qualified to pick a funny strip than you.
\n(Remember: I\'m the genius who thought nobody read Dr. Gott.)
\nSo while I appreciate your sentiments -- and the restaurant analogy -- I don\'t see anything wrong with asking our readers to state their preferences on the addition of a new strip.
\nAs for me, not only am I not going to pick the restaurant, I\'m not even going to drive the car.

Nick,
\nWell, now I think you\'ve gone too far in the other direction. Not driving the car? I\'m guessing your readers actually want you to do that.
\nThere are more and more point sources of news and places that collect them. They will become more popular, since a lot of people want to choose their own news, dig deeper where they want to dig rather than where someone else wants to stick the shovel. The Telegraph, the paper version especially, can\'t compete that way.
\nBut, lucky for you, people want your local news, and I think they also want your point of view. If you drive, some may not ride along, but others will.
\nSo you need to decide: homicide bomber or suicide bomber, illegal alien or undocumented worker, and more importantly which stories to write and not to write, from a reasonably stable political perspective. Do Globe readers or Union Leader readers want their paper to be free of any predictable perspective? I don\'t think so, even if it were possible.
\nSo drive. Enjoy. My little nit is that although he protests much, I feel pretty certain Marty made the decision on Doonesbury because he agrees with it politically and he wants to convey its message to the readers. I don\'t know him, but let me take a wild guess -- he is a liberal weenie, and he is proud of it.
\nI\'d have preferred that he\'d said: This one\'s our choice; consider it a staff pick. But hey, not a big deal. Hope you\'re having fun.

\nWelcomed to Eduardo.
\nI too came from Brazil (via Canada where I lived 18 years) when I got a job transfer to New Hampshire and settled here. Few people know I am actually Brazilian.
\nThe community is growing here (has been since Nashua was voted best small city to live in USA) and with this comes cultural differences and changes.
\nTo have coverage of the Brazilian community is nice, but one must remember that Brazilians in not the only recent ethnic group to establish in this area. The is growing contingent from Hispanic countires in Latin America, new Canadian groups and former Soviet countries.
\nWith this addition I trust Eduardo is also a resident in the area so that he not only reports about the community but also understands who they are. I sometimes do, but having been so integrated with my family here (my wife is a native of Nashua and we have 2 boys ages 9 and 7) I hardly \"blend\" with the Brazilian community (in terms of festivities, etc) other than going to local stores and restaurants.
\nI believe there are two \"Brazilian Worlds here\", with distinct phylosophies. Something that perhaps can be a topic of future discussion.

\n Raped by New Hampshire Government officials and the news censors the truth to protect Judge Peter Fauver. Do the people have a right to uncensored news. Fauver violated our constitution 29 or more times to intentionally inflict harm on U.S. citizens. I volunteer my time to help a Madbury NH family and NH rapes me. The opinion of the people is the foundation of the U.S. The news media refuses to tell the truth. I give my life for the U.S. I came back from the Vietnam Conflict 100% disabled. I was injured three times, twice in separate combat support missions. Why the silence? I write clear facts supported by proof. I send copies to Fauver, government, news and others. If what I write was not true they would crush me. NH raped me of my rights because I volunteer to help a Madbury family so desperate they asked a disabled U.S. Marine for help.
\n The state of NH to protect a criminal judge has had my Veterans Medical stopped. The news media refuses to inform the public. I have violated no laws or threatened anyone. What I have done is volunteer help a Madbury family to stop the Madbury selectmen whom use their trusted government positions for personal revenge. I went to a wedding this past weekend in Woodstock VT. I stopped my self several times from taking my life. As I talked to others some word or actions would cause my first kill to be a reality in front of me. I was an American Advisor on convoy eight times. On one mission I was removed by enemy soldiers from a village we stopped at for the night. A mile or so in the jungle we stopped. I escaped only to meet one just out side the camp perimeter. I stuck my bayonet up under his ribs took my M-16 back then realize this soldier could not be but 11 or 12 years old. The news media and the State of New Hampshire have raped me. The Veterans Administration through NH VA director Levenston is using disabilities that I received defending this nation for political power. I have told President Bush all the way down to the loneliest reporter only to have my rights diminished to the point discrimination no longer can describe it. Judge Fauver violated the Constitution to protect the criminal acts of the Madbury selectmen. The news media has violated the trust of every United States Citizen. I killed for you and you take pleasure in raping me. I will not stop volunteering to help this Madbury family

\nIt wouldn\'t surprise me any if a Google search on the phrase \"Bush\'s Brain\" pulled up a lot of headlines with the same or similar wording.
\nI doubt the Telegraphs use of the phrase was politically motivated.
\nMore likely it was the obvious choice. Which in a way makes it a very poor, and unoriginal choice.
OK, political stuff, and minds won\'t be changed. Personally I object to these kind of headlines, with double meanings, more designed to sell papers than to get the facts out. Polarazing figures usually don\'t need
\nthis kind of pejorative headline, and I would have opted for the high road myself. But it\'s not \"Hurst creating the Spanish AMerican War journalis.\" That said, there is plently you could be doing to get Congress to Co-operate and start to
\nact. I don\'t think you need the list of problems.
\n While Hodes and Judd are home, why don\'t you have an intelligent converasation with them and get their input on how to proceed? Slogans and headlines don\'t solve problems. In depth interviews with salient facts are more helpful, in my view.
I had no problem with the headline since I believe it to be the literal as well as the metaphorical truth. George W. Bush has to be one of the most unintelligent, uninformed, unreflective individuals ever to occupy the Oval Office. As far as I am concerned, the man (or woman) and the office are inextricable.

From what I\'ve been told its open to Rs and Ds - and each candidate is afforded solo stage time to communicate his (her) priorities on energy and global warming.
\nNH has communicated global warming as a priority in many ways this past year, right under the noses of the candidates.
\nHere are the top ten reasons why every candidate should show up at the conference:
\n1.
\nA statewide poll showed 70% of likely Republican primary voters feel global warming is a serious threat and needs to be addressed (and most feel it is man-induced), while almost 90% of likely D primary voters feel the same way
\n2.
\n164 out of 177 towns passed a town meeting resolution calling on the next president to require national greenhouse gas reductions in ways that protect the economy (of the 164 towns, a majority performed republican in 2004)
\n3.
\nThe governor & executive council signed a commendation thanking the 300 volunteers who made the resolution a statewide referendum.
\n4.
\nMore than 40 civic associations and 9 newspapers endorsed the resolution (which has been endorsed now by Richardson, Dodd and McCain)
\n5.
\nResearchers in the science and economic disciplines came together for the first time and illustrated how inextricably linked local NH economies are to cold winters, and how northern communities will suffer from slushy winters.
\n6.
\nCollege students marched from Nashua to Concord and others climbed to the tops of the Presidentials to make their point and send a message that global warming action must be a priority for the next president.
\n7.
\nA spring conference on global warming and the NH forest economy drew a standing room only crowd of more than 300
\n8.
\nThanks to hundreds of civic-minded volunteers, more than 50 local energy committees have emerged from the results of the town meeting resolution. These people are not your every-day branded enviros: they are civic leaders and taxpayers.
\n9.
\nCandidates are getting lots of questions and are talking about energy and global warming on the stump, and in some ways the retail politicking has helped candidates test their messages and reform a few policy directions. That said, the conference is the only chance between now and the primaries for candidates to really showcase their climate change and energy action plans with people for whom this is a priority (which people?-- see ## 1-8)
\n10.
\nThe upcoming conference comes at peak foliage season - so get up here and enjoy the season .... while we still can.
It\'s a shame that those who seek political positions do not lead by example.
\nThere ought to be a rule that no candidate for any political position should run for election it he/she has a crimib=nal record or have field for bankruptcy. I personally was shocked to se Louzeau with $1 million left to creditors for a restaunrant that was nowhere near worth 1/3 of that including goodwill value! ONE million!
\nNow I hope al those who lost on these election will do their civic duty and collect their posters and signs left behing to keep our city clean!

\n No thinking person needs or reads \"letters to the editor\" that are nothing more than spam emails sent by paid campaign workers or volunteers, many from out of state. We can trust you to edit these, Mr. Editor, and find the few salient letters that have something new or important to say.

\nHere\'s an idea:
\n1) Discard letters whose authors are from outside the Telegraph\'s circulation area.
\n2) Print those letters that you, in your editorial judgment, contribute to the discussion.
\n3) Publish on the web site all letters of local concern, when their authorship can be verified.
\n4) Print, once a week or so, the week\'s roster of letter writers and candidates they supported (one author and one candidate for each letter.

Granted, I expected him to speak with the TBS on field guy, Mota, and radio folks after his huge homer, but a press briefing, that\'s historic! Anyway, good for Manny, it\'s been a long time since he came through Big for the Red Sox in the playoffs.\n Through the playoffs, I think he should continue(?) to give comments to the media. He had some good stuff there, \"It\'s just a little game he\'s playing...\"\n\"...sometimes I get you. And I got him at the right time.\" That\'s the Manny that the Sox fans want to hear! It\'s too bad, Manny has kept golden nuggets from the fans for years. But, maybe he has also saved himself a certain measure of grief. Somehow, I sort of find that Manny getting grief from the fans would be unimaginable. He can do\n\"No Wrong\" here in Sox Nation. \nThanks Alan, again welcome to blog.\nNashua','Manny really being Manny',21,1),(1658,1149,'welcome','I enjoyed your intro and look forward to hearing from you again.

\nYou are an amazing writer! It is fun to read what you have to say! I look forward to more! Great Job!!
As I read your blog and Mr Teeboom\'s comment it dawned on me you were missing something. You\'ve been thinking paper instead of information or opinion.
\nThere are some letters you\'re going to want to print in the Telegraph, but you can quite literally publish all of them on your web site!
\nWell probably not all. I\'m sure there will be some that cross the line into lible. The obvious duplicates can be weeded down to a single example.
\nEverything else gets posted on the web in the order received.
\nIt can be indexed by candidate (pro and con), topic, location of author and practically any other criteria you want.
\nCheck with you web people and find out how much space you can use. Then set it so that after \"x\" number of letters the oldest get deleted. You might even set things up so any printed letter stays in the system.
\nIf you want to get fancy, have a rating system for the posted letters and let any one who reads a letter and want to give it review and or a comment. That might be subject to some abuse though. Perhaps your web guru can think of someway to prevent stuffing the ballot box.
\nIf this idea can work you can cut back to printing only those letters that seem timely or relevant.

Our older son Aidan taught us a neat lesson about pain and wounds and what it means to a kid - versus to my wife and I, the sometimes over-reactive parents.
\nAidan was about 3 and 1/2, and Kris was taking him out to the car, which involved going down about eight concrete stairs to the driveway. Then, suddenly, there she was coming back in the door with a crying kid on her shoulder, because he had taken a header on the stairs and walloped his nose and lip. Lots of blood and tears and a worried mom.
\nSo we propped him up on the kitchen counter, started saying soothing, reassuring things in our strained terrified voices, while wiping him carefully with wet paper towels.
\nThe bleeding slowed down, but he kept on crying, and we kept saying nice things, and he kept on crying, and it finally quirked me as a little odd and I asked him carefully, \"Are you crying because it hurts?\" and he said \"No! I want to go back outside!\"
\nWe laughed, finished wiping him up, and he was on his way.
\nA few more episodes like that taught me to ask two questions when one of my kids takes a header:
\n- Are you crying because it hurts or because it was a surprise? [Tripping, getting nipped by our dog, whatever the event was] More often than I would have guessed, they\'re crying out of surprise, not pain.
\n- When it *is* pain, I ask \"Does it hurt a little or a lot?\"
\nYou\'d think that cry-volume is already your perfect barometer of pain (and true, with some crash landings, you KNOW their terror is radiating right out of their DNA, amplified through their collective unconscious, focused by their brainstem and hind brain and piped directly into their vocal cords...so there\'s no reason to ask), but sometimes it\'s not. Dozens of times I\'ve asked Aidan \"Does it hurt a little or does it hurt a lot?\" and he\'d kind of check inside himself, and answer \"A little\" and his crying would taper off quickly after that.
\nI think the question makes him step back from the pain a tad, compare it to other hurts, and put it into little-kid-perspective. He\'s not a drama-queen kid, so it\'s not a trick to catch him being dramatic...it just seems to give him pause and - when it IS a small hurt - to not be overwhelmed by it.
\nAnd when he DOES answer \"A lot\" we know he means it, and not to minimize what he\'s feeling. It\'s worked out well.

\nSometimes working mothers work because they have to or they want to for some adult times.
\nOne thing that I strongly agree with is..if you can raise your own child, that is the best thing. Some how, some way it is best if it works. If a Mother has to work, then a family member with your own values should step in and help if all possible.

Sununu refuses to even acknowledge my existence. I have traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). I received it during my tour as a U.S. Marine.

\n It is not just Sununu, Shea-Porter had me arrested to stop a letter to the editor about her. A false police complaint and the Dover and Lee police refuse to allow me to file a complaint against her. She then uses elected trusted powers to have a VA Dr file commitment orders with out “Merit”. When all this fails Levenston has my VA medical stopped. Sununu refuses to get involved. Now the News media is promoting how it is “maintaining Democracy”. Senator Gregg, Paul Hordes, NH governor and the rest ignore my request for help. I have violated no laws, yet they diminish my rights for self gain.
\n Jon Greenburg Executive editor of NH Public Radio, McQuaid of Union Leader and Rousmeniere of Keene Sentinel write a self promoting article on good effect of the news. How these gentlemen ignore the Constitution and the ethical obligation of the news to print the opinion of the people. Not only is free speech by the public censored, the intentional harm to a 100% disabled veteran is ignored by the news media. They can not say that they have not been informed. They can not say it is not the truth.
\n Judge Peter Fauver violated the Constitution at least 29 times to inflict intentional harm on NH residents and natural born U.S. citizens.

\nGreat post. It\'s important to think about what can go wrong at a wedding so you can avoid it.
\nI wanted to let you know about another target of thieves at weddings- the photographer\'s gear. Thieves can view wedding announcements and find weddings to crash, or they scope out venues with light security and a lot of public traffic.
\nIn fact, that\'s something to consider when planning a wedding. Some reception sites have other events going on or serve multiple purposes. As a photographer, I\'ve worked for clients at hotels and restaurants that have patrons on site for other purposes. Those kind of sites often have people who aren\'t part of the wedding innocently checking out the wedding out of curiousity. Those are the kind of places thieves are more likely to hit because they are less likely to draw anyone\'s suspicion and can come up with more ready excuses for why they are there.
\nThe wedding ceremony can be a target too. People always arrive late at weddings, and a thief can play that game and pretend to be watching the ceremony from the back of the church, when in fact, they are scoping out the location of the photographer\'s bag and waiting for an opportunity.
\nWhat\'s so insidious about this is that this kind of theft is an attack on a photographer\'s livelihood and it\'s a very personal blow to the couple, who lose all of the photographs that were taken and depending on what a thief steals, maybe most of the ability of the professional photographer to record the rest of the event.
\nI\'ve been fortunate to not have had to deal with this experience because I keep all my gear close at hand the whole wedding, even if it is a bit more of a burden. But this photographer wasn\'t so lucky-view this news video of thieves at work: http://cbs11tv.com/video/?id=18845@ktvt.dayport.com&cid=7
\nThe photographer can be an ally against thieves. We\'re always on the lookout for great moments to capture, and are therefore watching everyone. I often notice people checking out weddings and I certainly would report to the maid of honor, best man or the couple and ask if they knew the person if I thought their behavior was suspicious.
\nThe bottom line is to enjoy your day, but have someone delegated to keep an eye out for intruders and secure wedding gifts.

After all Paragraph 3, Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution means nothing to the MSM, or to Chris Matthews, or to the pathetic Keith Olbermann, or to Romney’s rivals.
\nParagraph 3, Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution reads, “. . . all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” - emphasis added.
\nThe Speech, the Speech! Mr. Romney, My Kingdom for the Speech! Thursday, October 04, 2007
\n Whew, let’s all just calm down. There is no reason for Romney’s “JFK” religion speech. Not yet.
\n While liberal pundits, the media, and a few Giulianiacs (read Novak) in New York are fixated on Romney’s religion, very few national evangelical leaders oppose Romney on religious grounds. For obvious reasons Catholic and Jewish leaders are rather adamant that there be no religious issue concerning Romney and the 2008 presidential race.
\n The loudest objections come from the left. Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate, said, \"Romney\'s religion will become an issue with moderate and secular voters - and rightly so.\" His justification comes from a rather strained reasoning that objecting to one’s “religious beliefs is not the same thing as prejudice based on religious heritage . . .”
\n What? Late last year Romney met with the prominent evangelical leaders. Oh, to have been a fly on that wall! From the few remarks made by some of the attendees, that meeting must have gone quite well.
\n Says Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, \"Evangelicals know that they\'re not electing a theologian in chief, but a commander in chief. If they agree with Romney on social issues, his Mormonism won\'t be a hindrance . . .\" And Jerry Falwell, who has often spoken in unflattering terms about Mormons said, \"There\'s no question that there are strong feelings about Mormonism. But we\'re not electing a Sunday school teacher; we\'re electing a president. I do not believe his church affiliation will hinder his being a viable candidate among evangelicals.\"
\n So just who are these 24 percent of Americans (not 29 percent as reported by Novak.) who would not vote for a Mormon? see
\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21036143/site/newsweek/
\n Well, certainly many are liberal and/or secular. In the same poll 14 percent said they would not vote for a woman, 64 percent said no to an Atheist. Even more telling is what Novak did not reveal.
\n In the same poll 68 percent of Americans said they had a favorable opinion of Mitt Romney while only 13 percent did not. Gee, I wonder what Hillary’s numbers would be.
\n So everybody, just take a deep breath. After Mitt has secured the nomination there will be plenty of time for The Speech.

\n$MAKE LOTS OF QUICK CASH THE EASY WAY$$ Dear Internet User, Good day, This article I\'ve written is all about the fact where I earned an ASTOUNDING amount of money in less than a month and I\'ve decided to share or reveal the secrets behind making big bucks in the Mail Order Business. So all money seekers, read this carefully. **READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!** I found this on a bulletin board like this one and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through several newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, \"Yeah right, this must be a scam\", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you need to send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: \"what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?\" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it\'s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made just over $42,000.00 and it\'s still coming in rapidly. It\'s certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! SUGGESTION: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It\'s easy. It\'s legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage). IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue it?s success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it\'s a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. ========================================== -->HERE ARE 4 EASY STEPS TO GET STARTEDDIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS

Meet us there on the 27th, OK?
\nMiss you.
I share your disheartened feelings of Christmas. For my self, I have developed angst over Christmas and see it as the act of giving that provides temporary pseudo relief to a lack of genuine interest.
\nA few years ago, I stopped decorating for Christmas. In fact, the first year I did that, I think you came to visit me in San Diego. I had resigned to the thought that Christmas is for children. I agree, that the reason we celebrate Christmas is lost amid ‘SALE’ signs and the lights and gift ideas that beg of us to not look at what Christmas is really about.
\nCHRISTmas (Christ-more) – this year – has asked me to look within myself first. How do I love myself? Do I love myself the way He loves me? Do I love and appreciate what He has provided for me at this very moment? Then, I look outside of myself and ask, ‘do I love them [my family and friends] the way that they [truly and in some cases uncomfortably] love me? Do I fully understand and appreciate all that they contribute to my life in the best way they know how? Do I value [myself] for what I give back to them? Do I need to try harder? Do I have reason to celebrate?
\nI DO. I have reason to celebrate because God has moved my heart to ask these questions. He has given me a peace recently. And in turn, I need to adjust my attitude to celebrate His birthday. If Christmas [for my spirit by His design] is not about gifts, but about prayer, conversation, a grateful person in the room, too much wine and a silent prayer before I embark in family madness, then yes, it is worth celebrating. If we truly see ‘beyond’ the material gifts of this season, let us celebrate the gift of what He has given us by participating whole heartedly in the beautiful people [though a little ‘off’ at times, ha!] that he has surrounded us with. I need to begin His work in me.
\nGifts are for the kids. Love, wine and laughs are for the adults. And if other adults can’t get there….well, we’ll pray that some day they do. Until then, let’s pray, be grateful and share the wine. Pluck-the-dumb-stuff. Our time here is short.

Jesus Christ the Son of God build this earth which we stand upon that these things and much more could be accomplished in our lives.
\nA veil of forgetfulness was put over our remembrances of our previous life.
\nWhile here on earth we learn that doing evil brings pain in our lives. To serve God and His children brings happiness and peace of Mind.
\nWe learn that God does answer our prayers. If we ask amiss, there is stupor of thought. He is our Father so in our prayers He wants us to say, “Our Father in Heaven”, thank Him for His and His Exalted Son Jesus Christ blessings, ask for that which we stand in need of, and close in the name of “Jesus Christ amen”.
\nI know that God and His Son hate abortions, same sex marriage, pornography and all other evils of the world. There would be no war now if each one of us were striving to keep all of God’s commandments.

Moreover, the magnitude of change is also important to consider, because in order to create change in a country such as ours, you need to know how to navigate the system to deliver the change you seek. You also need to be well networked in order to cross party lines. Mrs. Clinton worked for some time with Senator McCain on investigating global warming issues and passing legislation and with another Republican Senator, whose name I cannot unfortunately recall at the time (you can find out by watching Mr. Clinton’s speech yesterday 01/06/08 in NH) and who happened to try to impeach former President Clinton as well, to pass legislation that helped several children in foster care, including disabled children, enter into permanent homes. So her track record for change and working across party lines to effect change definitely speaks for itself.
