Fantasy job

The publishing world is a strange, scary place of late, beset with uncertainty and torn apart by the intrusion of new technology. Kate Kaynak is perfectly at home in such a shadowy universe.

How not to raise a bully

Worried about bullies? With bully-related tragedies making headlines and research revealing the deep and lasting effects of what some educators used to dismiss as normal childhood mischief, most parents are at least mildly concerned that their children are or could be victims. But what if there's a bully living under your own roof? The truth is, not every kid can be an innocent… 0

Cautionary tale of greed and materialism

"Enough!" The field mouse has had it. After innocently offering a dejected magpie a pretty marble, he has watched his friend rapidly develop a hoarding problem of reality TV proportions. For a while, he merely observes from the edges of the bird's ever-expanding treetop residence, a worried expression on his bewhiskered face. But one day, when the magpie arrives at his nest… 0

'That moment of clarity'

You could say that William Jarvis has an angry woman with a meat cleaver to thank for his career in painting. In the '70s, fresh out of college with a psychology degree, Jarvis had to take a job as a bill collector in Hartford, Conn., to pay his own bills. Every evening he went door to door in North Hartford's… 0

Now's the time to create the legacy you want

How do you want to be remembered? Let's face it, this is probably not the most pressing question on the average parent's agenda. What's for dinner? Where's my jacket/retainer/water bottle/hamster? Why can't I get a cell phone? What's a lesbian? These are the sorts of inquiries that rule our days. In the back of our minds, though, we know where all of this… 0

In bloom

Paintings, flowers offer taste of spring

Here are two words of advice for those attending the Concord Garden Club's 10th annual Art and Bloom show at McGowan Fine Art this week: Inhale deeply. It's something you might not think to do at an everyday art show, but engaging your olfactory sense is an absolute must if you want to reap the full benefit… 0

Anyone can ski

If you're a sit-by-the-fire-and-knit (or watch TV) sort, you know that excuses are easy to come by for a lot of the adventures your outdoorsy friends are always proposing. Too expensive. Too dangerous. Too hard. Too far away. Ah, and then there's cross-country skiing. Provided Mother Nature has annihilated… 0

Hit the trails

Hit the trails

Ready to hit the trails? Here are some of the most popular places across the state: • Beaver Meadow Golf Course, 1 Beaver Meadow Road (off of Sewalls Falls Road), Concord, 228-8954. The city maintains the trails when there's adequate snow, and the restaurant is open on weekends so you can grab lunch or warm up with some hot chocolate. For a map or information, go to… 0

Different beats

If I had the skills, I would very much like to make a mash-up of the music that's played in my house and car in the course of a week. We'd start things off with the flavor-of-the-month pop song that radio DJs, in all their wisdom, have calculated the average listener needs to hear not less than 14 times per… 0

One minister decidedly ahead of his time

Roger Williams was the sort of charismatic character one can easily picture running for president if he were somehow transported from 17th century New England to the present day. Unfortunately, he's also the sort whose campaign would have flamed out spectacularly at some press conference or debate long before he reached the New Hampshire primary. "Some of the things he said, you… 1
